Chapter 434: The Riddle (2/2)
”As you wish my lord. We will retrieve it for you.” Soda said obediently.
”You are not strong enough. I will have to do it myself.”
Excitement list up Soda's eyes as he asked, ”Does it...does it mean the new era is about to come?”
”Gather all of our forces. We need the Ark and two children on it, alive.”
”I understand, my lord. You had chosen your candidates.”
”Go now, don't disappoint me.”
”Yes, my lord.” Soda answered as a light flickered in his eyes that was definitely not human.
…
”Ahh!” Wang Tong howled. Inside the virtual space, no one would hear him and come to his aid.
”I'm almost there. Let's try it again.”
”Ok!”
”METAL!” Wang Tong shouted. As soon as a shimmering METAL covered Wang Tong's body, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
”Balls! That's all you got? How many more times do we have to do it?” Mr. Wannabe complained.
”Go on!”
”Hey, can we take a break? I need to eat something!”
”No! Keep going!”
”It's torture!”
”I said...KEEP GOING!” Mr. Wannabe refuted.
In the real world, Ma Xiaoru was preparing a delicious meal for Wang Tong. She had taken on the responsibility of looking after Wang Tong's life. Although she felt it being difficult in the beginning, she was pleased with her life now.
Twelve days later, Wang Tong and Ma Xiaoru boarded the Ark to take a peek at the battlecruiser. The giant battleship was parked right in between the earth and the moon. Its size dwarfed all the other transport ships around it, making it look like a floating city. In addition to satisfying his curiosity, another reason that made Wang Tong come to the vessel was to learn about the deep space, since the battle with Lee Moshan was fast approaching. Although he had practice space fighting in a simulation, he was not certain how the real fight was going to pan out.
Wang Tong reckoned that he had to be very careful during the fight, as the fight was deeply personal for Lee Moshan.
Despite the wild rumors about Einherjar Wannabe and Lan Qinyue, Wang Tong was certain that Mr. Wannabe was not interested in Lan Qinyue at all. Wang Tong always had a nagging feeling that Mr. Wannabe already had a love interest, but had chosen to keep his silence about it.
Lee Moshan had proposed the fight to take place right next to the giant spaceship. He never agreed with the blind worshiping of technology. The location of the battleground was symbolic of his protest. Time of advanced machinery had already past, and only cultivating inner power could bring humans the salvation they needed.
It went without saying that many spectators would not join the fight. In the space and without any protective measures, the audience would be easy victim of collateral damage.
A few days later, the fight was finally about to start!
Lee Moshan was in a full suit of Einherjar METAL, and the Thunder Blade was strapped onto his back. With the help of the METAL, an Einherjar could survive the deep space with ease.
