Arknights is too real, right?

That night, Ying Wulan accepted the suggestion of the mysterious black-robed man and received the dark blue Origin Stone and the pendant representing the [Deep Canon] Divine Envoy.

Sakura Wulan became a severely infected person, but he was slightly different from ordinary infected people.

Because what he came into contact with was not an ordinary source stone, but a unique source stone from the deep sea. The man in black robe called it the dark blue source stone.

As we all know, horrific disasters called natural disasters will randomly occur in every corner of the world. This range includes all regions except Kjerag, and of course, the sea.

Natural disasters will breed Origin Stones. If the location is in the sea, then the Origin Stones will breed on the bottom of the sea.

However, somewhere in the ocean, there is a mysterious mineral called bluestone. This mineral was once used by Dr. Kane and Helmer in the medicine to suppress mineral disease. Obviously, bluestone has the ability to suppress the source stone. Characteristics of energy.

If a natural disaster comes to the sea and happens to coincide with the sea area where blue stone grows, this dark blue source stone will appear with a very low probability.

Bluestone can suppress the growth of Source Stone. In this case, the small amount of Source Stone that still grows has more powerful energy.

It can also be called crystal, and the body color will also be bluish.

This extremely rare dark blue source stone has all the characteristics of ordinary source stones, such as the surging energy it contains and its strong pathogenicity to ordinary people.

In addition, it has another ability, that is, all those who become infected due to contact with it will 100% awaken the powerful Source Stone skills.

In order to cooperate with this Origin Stone technique, the infected person's blood will also undergo subtle changes, the original racial characteristics will degrade, and the breath will become closer and closer to the deep sea species.

There is no doubt that Sakura Wulan was actively infected with the ore disease caused by this dark blue source stone.

But like he said, power comes at a price.

The man in black robe once said that once people other than the deep sea species are infected with the ore disease caused by the dark blue source stone, they will instantly become severely infected. Almost 99% of people will become infected after being infected. He died of organ failure within a day.

This depends on the individual's physique, but there are very few people in the world who have the physique to withstand such a deep blue source stone.

However, once there is no instant death, those who survive will awaken powerful powers and become monster-like existences.

For example, the current Divine Envoy of the [Deep Canon] doctrine only accepts two types of people to become Divine Envoys.

One, a hybrid between the deep sea species and the Terrans.

Two, people who survived the disease.

Because of the previous Victoria Incident, the [Deep Canon] God Envoy was almost completely wiped out, and the only one who survived was Kuroyuki.

In this case, the God's Mission needs to absorb more powerful people.

That night, Ying Wulan accepted the shortcut proposed by the man in black robe.

Perhaps because of his physique that had been tempered for decades and the strong obsession in his heart, he miraculously survived after being infected with the deep blue source stone.

The man in black robe said that with his awakened power, he might replace Hei Xue as the strongest divine envoy in [Deep Code], because Hei Xue does not know how to use a sword.

In the duel with Xiao Yunye just now, Ying Wulan did not use this deep sea origin stone skill, but simply used the sword skills that he was proud of.

Now, he plans to no longer be limited by technique.

There is no reason for being strong. If there is, it can only be called an excuse for the loser.

For example, if he lost to Xia Feng in the past, he would have no reason to mock Xia Feng for taking a shortcut. On the contrary, if he defeated Xiao Yunye now, there would be no unfairness.

Because, no matter what kind of power he has, he is still himself.

In the courtyard, feeling the strange aura emanating from Ying Wulan's body and the changes that occurred on her body, Xiao Yunye's hand holding the sword tightened unconsciously.

I see, for the power you desire, you chose to fall into the devil's path. Ying Wulan, you are more paranoid than your grandfather.

Sakura Wulan's expression did not change.

Xiao Yunye, you are not qualified to preach to me. If you think I am wrong, then defeat me.

At this moment, Xiao Yunye let out a bitter smile.

Heh, do you want me to use this sword in my hand to defeat a monster like you?

Hearing Xiao Yunye's words, Ying Wulan's voice turned cold.

I'm not a monster.

Xiao Yunye narrowed his eyes and replied in a deep voice.

But you're no longer human either.

Although Xiao Yunye didn't understand the deep-sea species, he still knew the causes and consequences of the previous Victoria incident.

In the final decisive battle under the city wall of Londinium, Xia Feng faced deep-sea species that were different from humans. The aura of those monsters was exactly the same as that of Sakura Wulan at this moment.

Looking at Ying Wulan, Xiao Yunye asked the final question.

Yingwulan, have you joined that cult organization?

Sakura Wulan slowly lifted the Sakura Knife, and it was obvious that this was the last question he wanted to answer.

The person who gave me the Origin Stone said that if I can survive, I will be a member of the God's Envoy, but before that, I must first become the best in the world and defeat you and Xia Feng!

Xiao Yunye didn't ask any more questions, or maybe he already had a rough understanding.

Of course, what Ying Wulan calls that person will not stop him from becoming the best in the world, because the necessary condition for becoming the best in the world is to defeat Xia Feng.

In Victoria's last battle, Xia Feng killed three divine envoys alone. To that mysterious cult, Xia Feng was perhaps the biggest threat in the world.

Xiao Yunye knew very well that there were some things that did not need to be made clear, and there was no need to make them clear.

Even if he now tells Ying Wu Lan, You are being used, Ying Wu Lan will not change his mind. Even Ying Wu Lan himself knows that he is being used.

But he still chose this way because this was the path he decided to take.

boom!

With a loud noise, Ying Wulan's figure disappeared on the spot, and the next second, a blue blade struck from the side.

Xiao Yunye raised his sword to block.

Ding!

Huge power rushed straight at him, and the right hand holding the sword was sore and numb, and his old body shifted for the first time in the confrontation.

Obviously, Sakura Wulan's awakened Origin Stone skills have the effect of greatly improving physical fitness. Coupled with his already superb sword skills, his overall strength has risen to a terrifying level.

But besides this passive, there are obviously other special abilities.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

The flying cherry blossoms shot out more than twice as fast as before. While they were swift, their strength was even more astonishing.

When unable to dodge, Xiao Yunye could only choose to block with his sword.

The swords collided, and the huge force shocked him so much that he could hardly hold on.

Now Sakura Wulan has surpassed him in agility and strength.

If he were even ten years younger, Xiao Yunye would think that he would be able to fight.

However, it may be a little difficult for this old body now.
