Chapter 357 Caught
Chapter 357 Caught
"You brat, you think you can just run away after you've finished hitting me? Not so easy!"
As she spoke, Morgana spurred her demonic claws to chase after Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen was flying away into the distance when he saw Ge Xiaolun flying towards him.
Without thinking twice, he hurriedly shouted at Ge Xiaolun, who was flying close to the ground.
"Run, Xiao Lun! Morgana is behind us!"
As soon as Mu Xingchen finished speaking, a semi-transparent ripple suddenly flashed above his head.
next second!
A demonic claw the size of a car appeared out of thin air above Mu Xingchen's head!
Mu Xingchen was caught completely off guard and was firmly captured!
Caught in the demon's claws, Mu Xingchen desperately tried to break free.
But the demon claw that had been chasing him earlier flew over and grabbed the demon claw that had grabbed him.
With both demonic claws exerting force simultaneously, Mu Xingchen, gripped in their palms, was completely unable to move.
He even felt like all the bones in his body were about to be crushed!
Intense pain filled every cell of his body.
Even as he entered the dawn-breaking state, he couldn't help but scream in agony.
"Ugh!!"
"Tatsuko!!"
When Ge Xiaolun saw that his brother had been captured by the demon's claws, he used a micro wormhole to bring back the Heavenly Blade Greatsword from the Heavenly Blade 7.
With a flap of its wings, it flew towards its brother!
[Ge Xiaolun's Void Engine Greatsword is not yet repaired, so he can only make do with the Heavenly Blade Greatsword for now. Although it is a Silver Blade-level weapon, the Heavenly Blade Greatsword cannot be used with the Xiongxin to unleash the Final Judgment, so he can only use physical slashing.]
"Don't worry about me! Run!!"
Seeing Ge Xiaolun flying towards him, Mu Xingchen roared at him with all his might.
Then he suddenly felt a fog in his mind.
He lost consciousness instantly.
Without a doubt, Morgana used a special method that could suppress the mind.
The forceful attack on Mu Xingchen's nervous system caused him to faint.
"Ah ah!!"
Ge Xiaolun ignored Mu Xingchen's words and swung the Heavenly Blade Greatsword fiercely at the demon's claws that were grabbing his brother.
A loud metallic clang echoed all around!
The demon's claw was completely undamaged!
Before Ge Xiaolun could swing his sword a second time, a finger suddenly popped out from the Demon Claw that was clenched outside.
The enormous black finger struck Ge Xiaolun directly.
Ge Xiaolun's body instantly transformed into a cannonball and crashed into the ground!
Just then, Rose arrived.
She saw Ge Xiaolun crashing to the ground and flew over to catch him.
But that blow really hit Rose hard, and both of them were forced to fall to the ground.
At that moment, the two demonic claws that had been clenched into fists high in the sky suddenly disappeared.
Along with Mu Xingchen, who was being held in his hand.
He watched helplessly as his brother was taken away, while Morgana didn't even show her face.
Ge Xiaolun was furious at this moment.
Instead of being grateful to Rose for catching him with her body, he glared at her fiercely after getting up.
"So this is what you mean by... a better way to protect the Earth!"
Ge Xiaolun's voice seemed to tremble; he truly couldn't believe that Qiangwei had completely become an accomplice of the devil.
She lured them out, only to help Morgana capture his brother.
This was simply unacceptable to him.
"I……"
When questioned by Ge Xiaolun, Qiangwei's eyes darted away.
She certainly saw Ge Xiaolun slashing the demon's claw in mid-air with his sword.
They also witnessed the scene where the demon's claws captured Mu Xingchen.
Now, facing Ge Xiaolun's eyes, which seemed to be filled with hatred.
Rose felt really lost.
She never expected Morgana to suddenly attack Mu Xingchen.
Even more unexpectedly, Mu Xingchen was harmed by her...
After all, it was she who arranged the meeting with them, which led to this outcome.
"Rose! You betrayed the Super Soldier Corps!! You betrayed us!!"
Ge Xiaolun gripped the Heavenly Blade Greatsword tightly in his hand.
His clenched fists were trembling.
He really wanted to kill this traitor with a single sword stroke, but for some reason...
He just couldn't lift his hand.
He just couldn't bring himself to swing that sword at her...
"I didn't. She said she wouldn't attack China or the Super Soldier Squad..."
Rose had already stood up from the ground. She lowered her head, not daring to look Ge Xiaolun in the eye.
Moreover, the tone of her voice was no longer as confident as before.
After all, Morgana broke her promise to her and even personally attacked the Super Soldier Squad.
"You believe everything Morgana says! Don't you even have your own thoughts?!"
Seeing that Qiangwei was still unable to recognize reality and was defending the devil, Ge Xiaolun was so angry that his body trembled.
He really couldn't understand why Rose had been brainwashed like this...
"I will save him, I will definitely save him!"
After saying that, Rose opened a wormhole and left.
Ge Xiaolun was left alone in the dilapidated Super God Academy.
Looking at the empty surroundings, Ge Xiaolun suddenly felt weak all over.
The Heavenly Blade Greatsword in his hand fell to the ground, and he was unable to stand upright on his legs.
He knelt on the ground and let out a mournful roar.
"Ugh!!"
With a roar filled with resentment and frustration, Ge Xiaolun slammed his fist into the ground.
He smashed the dusty stone slabs to pieces.
Even the ground below was cracked by that punch.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, stirring up some of the shattered stone slabs.
Seemingly mesmerized by the gust of wind, Ge Xiaolun reached out and rubbed his eyes.
Before he could even lower his hand, two streams of water slid down his resolute face.
Larger droplets of water condensed at the tip of his chin and dripped onto the ground.
Ge Xiaolun didn't know why he was crying.
I have no idea why he was crying.
But he just couldn't help it.
At that moment, he was like a helpless child, kneeling on the ground, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
Perhaps he was crying because his brother had met with misfortune.
Or perhaps he was crying because he had completely lost the girl he once loved most...
In any case, the Super Soldier Company can no longer gather together and laugh like before...
……
Inside the Devil Castle of Devil One.
Rose is arguing with Morgana in her boudoir.
"Why?! You clearly promised you wouldn't harm China or the Super Soldier Squad! But what have you done today?!"
Rose stared intently at Morgana, who sat on the edge of the bed, with a questioning tone and angry eyes. [She wore a leather jacket and had a cool, aloof demeanor.]
"Rose, calm down. It's not what you think. I have no intention of attacking the Super Soldier Corps or China."
Morgana sat on the edge of the bed, her face expressionless.
This contrasts sharply with the angry-looking Rose.
"Then why did you arrest Mu Xingchen?! He's my best comrade-in-arms! Release him immediately!"
Rose is now completely deaf to any of Morgana's excuses.
She now had only one thought: to get Mu Xingchen out of here as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she will forever be branded as a traitor to the Super Soldier Corps, or even a ball traitor and a human traitor.
"Your best comrade-in-arms still hits you?"
Morgana, of course, was monitoring what was happening to Rose and the other two in that pavilion.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have found such a good opportunity to meet that man in black armor alone.
"That's between him and me! It's none of your business!"
Rose's tone remained sharp.
Indeed, Mu Xingchen slapped her this afternoon.
But she didn't hold a grudge against him, nor did she blame him.
Even though she was very angry and felt wronged at the time, she still hit back.
In other words, that matter is in the past for her.
"Okay, okay, it's none of my business, it's none of my business. I won't interfere in your private affairs anymore, alright?"
Morgana's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
But who can blame her when time-space genes are her lifelong passion?
We'll just have to compromise for now.
"Let him go right now! That's my only request!"
Rose said something sternly and harshly.
The trust that once filled his eyes when he looked at Morgana was gone.
"Rose, I promise you I won't hurt him, but he can't leave now. At most, it will be a week. After a week, I will definitely let him go and promise not to touch him in the slightest. Can I swear to you?"
Although Morgana did not agree to Rose's request, she did indeed raise her right hand and swear an oath to the "roof".
It's worth noting that Morgana had only made promises to Rose.
But I've never made any promises to anyone yet.
As for swearing an oath, forget about it.
All I can say is that she really changed a lot for Qiangwei.
"No! Let him go immediately! Otherwise, I will never accept your spacetime gene, even if it kills me!"
Rose doesn't trust Morgana at all now, and she sees that "she" won't agree to release the person.
She decisively used the time-space gene to threaten "her".
"Rose, I captured him to lure out the person behind him, not to break my promise to you. If I really wanted to take action against the Super Soldier Corps, why did I let Galaxy Force go?"
When she heard Rose threaten her with the matter of time-space genes, Morgana's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
However, she had no intention of arguing with Rose.
He simply explained the reasons to "her" with great care and patience.
The main reason she grabbed that unknown kid is because she really has something going on.
Otherwise, she would never have dared to attack the Super Soldier Squad under Rose's very nose.
"..."
Hearing her say that, Rose fell silent for a moment.
Because Morgana's words also make sense, if "she" really wants to take action against the Super Soldier Corps.
It's impossible to simply let go of Galaxy Force, the representative of the Super Soldier Corps.
And behind Mu Xingchen is indeed a powerful figure of unknown origin.
Or perhaps it's a powerful deity who has a deep-seated grudge against their Deno civilization.
This made her start to think.
"Rose, you know Hua Ye has made a comeback. That old rogue now has Karl's support and his strength has greatly increased. According to Karl, Hua Ye has already broken the balance."
"That old rogue is busy dealing with the Heavenly Court of Merlo right now and doesn't have time to fight us, but once he reclaims his Heavenly Palace from the Heavenly Court of Merlo, a great war between us is inevitable."
"I want to lure out the person behind Mu Xingchen, and it's for the sake of you, me, and all the demons on this Demon One, so that we can have a bright future. I have no choice but to do this."
Seeing that Rose remained silent, Morgana took the opportunity to tell "her" why she had to "invite" Mu Xingchen to come.
Of course, she was telling the truth.
Hua Ye has armed Karl with the black technology Void Engine, thus breaking the balance between gods.
To deal with that old rogue's void abilities.
We still have to use "Void" to deal with Void.
She was all alone, along with a Time-Space Rose that hadn't even grown up or taken shape yet.
She felt it was too risky.
So she had to find a way to contact Carlos to help her.
She needs the ally who can defeat Holy Keisha to return to her side.
"Aren't you allies with that person? I heard you even fought the Angel Queen together. Why don't you just contact him directly? Why do you have to capture his apprentice? Aren't you afraid he'll get angry?"
Rose had seen Morgana on the Great Gorge projector arguing with that high and mighty angel queen.
She knew that Mu Xingchen's master had helped Morgana fight the angels.
But since they've worked together before, why do they need a "guide" to meet now?
Moreover, forcing someone to come by kidnapping their apprentice is just creating enmity, isn't it?
Why would "she" do something so thankless and exhausting?
"Rose, there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. Yes, I have cooperated with him before, so I could be considered... uh... in your Chinese terms, a nodding acquaintance."
"He doesn't owe me anything. Last time, it was Carl who asked him to help me. If I don't have some leverage to threaten him, do you think he'll just give in? I have to be prepared for the worst."
Morgana once again told Rose the truth.
However, her blunt truth made Rose frown.
"If that person is unwilling to help you, are you going to kill Mu Xingchen instead?"
"Don't worry about that. Even if I can't reach an agreement with that person, I won't harm his disciple. What's that Chinese saying again? Oh, leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."
Seeing that Rose was no longer pressuring her to release the people, Morgana naturally went along with Rose's wishes.
Moreover, she really didn't intend to do anything to Mu Xingchen.
He just wanted to use him to catch his master's big fish.
I don't really want to make a life-or-death feud.
"But if that's the case, Ge Xiaolun and the others will treat me as..."
Rose did not utter those two words.
She was simply unwilling to bear the stigma of being a traitor.
Although it was for their shared future, she still didn't want to be misunderstood by her former closest comrade-in-arms.
"Then you'll just have to bear with it for now. If we lose the final battle against that old rogue, do you think he'll let Earth go?"
Morgana knew what "rose" meant, but she was helpless now.
We can only try to push Hua Ye forward.
"..."
Rose remained silent, because she had seen Hua Ye in Yellowstone City.
She knew very well that the evil god was definitely worse than Morgana.
If Earth falls into Hua Ye's hands, Earth will truly have no future.
"Alright, don't dwell on this anymore. Go back and rest. You just upgraded to the third-generation divine body, so you need to adapt as soon as possible. Once you've adapted, we'll try the fourth generation, and then we'll figure out how to implant the spacetime gene."
Seeing that Rose was still silent, Morgana got up from the edge of the bed and said a few words to Rose.
"..."
Although Morgana spoke kindly, Rose did not respond to her.
He simply left the room without looking back.
Morgana simply sighed in response.
