Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"Chris, tell me, what is outside our world?"

"I don't know, Decimus, I've never thought about that."

1999, autumn, night twenty years ago.

The black-haired girl sat on the grassy slope of the hill in the American countryside, pulling out weeds beside her while answering the boy's enthusiastic questions.

The boy was lying on the grass, and he was staring at the starry sky above his head: the cloudless night sky was like an endless wall, spreading endlessly to the left, right, up and down, and the endless black wall was filled with little bits of light. .

A dazzling Milky Way composed of countless stars extends from the left side of the field of view to the end of the right side, making anyone who looks at it unable to help but expand their endless imagination of the distance.

"Outside the world is another world."

The boy who had just read some general textbooks for astronomy class said in a show-off manner, causing the girl who had also read it to complain: "What, it's obviously a star, right? The book says that the earth is a planet, and other stars are the same as the earth."

"It's all the same. Other planets are also other worlds, and they are very different from the earth."

Sitting up from the grass, the boy named Decimus still did not look away. He was still looking up at the stars, not noticing the slightly annoyed expression of the girl beside him: "It is said that in those places, there is red land. Black plants, as well as all kinds of strange but powerful, mushroom-like beasts... There is even no air or water there, so humans can't live at all!"

"What's so exciting about this? And who told you that there would be alien beasts on alien planets?"

The girl named Chris subconsciously pulled out the weeds. She was reading more seriously than the boy. She replied helplessly: "Not only are there no humans there, there is nothing. It is a barren rocky desert. There will be no life." !”

"Because I'm curious! We need water and oxygen, but there's none on those planets. Don't you think it's weird?"

The boy obviously didn't care about the girl's complaints. His eyes were shining, reflecting the light of the stars in the sky: "If we humans can't survive there, then what's the point of these stars and the world?"

The girl's eyes were stunned. Her thinking was obviously not as free and divergent as that of the boy. The ten-year-old girl was even drawn in and began to think hard: "Yes, yes... Why does a planet that we humans cannot inhabit exist? ?What is their meaning..."

Because she was too young, such a question that no adult would be confused about really made the smart girl fall into great confusion.

But then, the boy's passionate answer interrupted her train of thought.

"It's exploration!"

The boy stood up and spread his arms towards the sea of ​​stars in the sky.

The voice of this child with brown hair and blue eyes was full of enthusiasm, confidence, and a kind of firm belief unique to young children: "Those stars are just for us to explore!"

"Not only that, the entire starry sky and all the worlds were created for us to explore!"

"...Hmph, I'm the only one willing to accompany you to think about these things all day long."

She was a little surprised at first, but soon after reacting, the girl lowered her head, her amber eyes staring at the weeds in front of her that she had twisted and pulled out. Then she raised her head again and looked at the starry sky with the boy.

After a while, the girl's voice sounded faintly: "Hey, Decimus..."

"What do you want to do when you grow up?"

"I want to be an explorer!"

The boy's answer came without thinking, as if he had already thought about it: "Discover new planets and worlds just like Columbus discovered the New World of America!"

"Really...that's great, I want it too."

Hearing this answer, the girl showed an expression of 'I knew it already'.

But this time, she didn't complain about the other person's weird dreams like usual, but said to herself with some disappointment: "But I can't do it. The dessert shop at home is still waiting for me... I can only be a dessert Master."

Saying this, the girl shook her head, patted her face, and cheered herself up:

"But it's okay. When you grow up, when you come back from your adventure, I'll make you dessert."

Only then did the boy notice that his friend's tone was a little lonely and sad compared to usual.

He turned his head in surprise and looked at the girl beside him.

He grinned and said: "What are you thinking about, Chris? I will take you with me then!"

The American countryside before the new century has always been like that: endless wheat fields, scattered farms, old towns that have remained unchanged for decades, and boringly familiar family stories and interpersonal relationships.

To live here, you must be prepared to live here for the rest of your life. People who leave here rarely come back. Every detail of the prosperous big city is enough to attract the full attention of young people.

The wind blows, feeling peaceful. The towering grain storage tower is illuminated by the moonlight, casting long shadows. The boys and girls on the hill are bathed in the starlight. They chat about the future and tell each other their ideals and wishes. , and then just smiled and fell asleep.

Twenty years later.

2019, summer, evening.

Decimus, who returned to his hometown, once again stood on the hillock that was imprinted in his heart. The silent man carrying the package stared at the hillside that seemed to have not changed in front of him, and couldn't help recalling the beautiful memories of the past.

But this time, he was alone.

As a pioneer ‘explorer’.

Outside the distant world, it seems that a long time has passed, but as far as my home world and hometown are concerned, it is only a mere five years.

Five years is enough to turn a small-town boy who has never delved into any supernatural power, or even the occult, into a man who can be called a 'strong man' in most of the world. 'The demigod.

"Has the earth's spiritual energy also recovered? Well, it's not surprising. After all, the earth is one of many worlds."

Just like in his childhood, Decimus sat on the familiar hillside. He put down the package in his hand and closed his eyes: "If you think about it carefully, I have always wanted to explore the outside world, but I have never calmed down to explore. My own hometown.”

"What secrets are there in my hometown? I have never thought about this at all."

The peak of the Commander level is only one step away from the Overlord level. He was inspired before the spiritual energy was revived. He left the earth and explored the multiverse. He took a deep breath and felt the taste of his hometown.

Then there was silence.

...This is a clichéd story.

The boys and girls who grew up became the dependents of the Pioneer Space.

They were separated first, then reunited, first sad, then excited, angry, fighting, and finally reconciled.

People who are eager to explore the distance join hands and move forward clumsily in the unknown darkness.

Walk slowly on the tightrope created by danger and fun, and step on the single-plank bridge on the torrent of fate and nothingness.

Everything is just for the other worlds that boys and girls talked about in childhood, and the light in the distance.

Dancing with crisis, parallel with death.

During that period of time, their lives were truly wonderful and radiated with endless brilliance - people who were different from ordinary people could only live out their own flavor under the protection of a great being.

Until one time, even in the entire Pioneer Space, the most difficult wasteland reclamation mission of 'Primary Realm Exploration' interrupted their journey.

The higher world, the prototype of the ‘World of Heavenly Light’, the ultimate world located at the top of the world of this genealogy, the ‘World of Creation’…

Decimus and Chris, who entered it, were well aware of the dangers of this world. After entering this world, they became anonymous and explored its corners in the most cautious way, putting safety first in everything.

But even so, in the face of the ten major forces in the world of creation, the ten 'cosmic god systems', the information of these 'boundary breakers' was quickly grasped.

They seem to have a giant network, a super network all over the starry sky. As long as there is an existence from the outside entering their domain, they can instantly detect it.

Then... it's pursuit, escape, fight, continue to escape, and then fail and be forced to return.

The process of explorers exploring the world is indeed full of passion and romance, but it is not always smooth sailing. Even if the Pioneer Space has set up various preferential policies and even protective measures for its explorers, in the face of those too powerful factors, Residents' time, but occasionally miss.

In her final return, in order to protect the seriously injured Decimus, Chris chose to face the pursuers of the 'Cosmic God System' alone to buy time for the final transmission of the Pioneer Space.

She succeeded - when both of them were about to be captured by the cosmic god system, Pioneer Space took the lead in starting the teleportation and pulled her dependents back to Pioneer Space.

However, the cosmic god system is too powerful.

The stronger one among them took action and stopped all movements in the two places - particles, waves, spiritual energy, time and space, and everything else. Everything was covered by absolute stillness, and time stopped here. .

Of course, such an extremely powerful magical skill cannot prevent the return of the Pioneer Space as long as it is not fully activated. Decimus successfully returned to Pioneer Space.

However, Chris, who was a step behind because she was in the rear, was completely hit by the magical skill of time stasis, turned into time amber, and was taken away by the cosmic god system for analysis and research.

No one can break the protective shield of the Pioneer Space for their own family members during teleportation. That is equivalent to arm wrestling with a great being. Even if it is hit with a black hole, the black hole will definitely be broken.

But there's no need to go head-to-head; there are so many ways to lock an explorer in place.

Then, sealed, imprisoned.

The power of the original world is so unbelievable. It is the ultimate goal of all explorers, a passionate world realm.

But now, he no longer has this enthusiasm.

Time passed, and when the light of the setting sun dimmed, the red sun fell into the mountains on the other side of the sky, and darkness once again covered the sky, making the stars twinkle, then I heard the man's self-talk that was full of 'firmness' just like twenty years ago.

"Kris...I will definitely rescue you."

Standing up, Decimus' emotions had calmed down.

Next, he has a very important thing to do, which is to find Chrissy's family and obtain their blood.

This is very difficult for ordinary people, but for a demigod mage, it is just a trivial matter. But the problem is that Chris’s family moved away from this town three years ago, and no one knows about it yet. where they are located.

After all, the fact that their daughter eloped with a poor boy with no relatives really made them lose face.

The poor boy back then, the demigod Decimus now doesn't care what they think, but he does need the blood of these Chrissy relatives as props for divination to find the location of his lover who is now imprisoned in another world.

"I don't know what's going on on Earth... It seems that technology has made great progress in the past five years? Even my hometown has a projection screen, and everyone seems to know one or two magic tricks?"

Already ready to take action, Decimus's mind reflected on the strange situations he had encountered since he returned to Earth, but he had ignored them because he was too anxious. This made him quite puzzled: "This It has the basic conditions for a high-magic world!”

"But it's not surprising. After all, there is only a thin line between high magic and high technology."

Although he discovered these strange places, the man didn't pay too much attention.

Even in the world of high demons, with his strength, not only would he be able to go smoothly, but at least he would not encounter any really particularly difficult problems.

As long as he does not conflict with the gods or be targeted by the great gods, a commanding demigod can live a very prosperous life in any world.

Let’s use an analogy with a young dragon teammate who once went on an adventure together.

The water dragon clan who calls himself Jiu Ming is not yet twenty years old at most. Although his strength is only about the first level of leadership, he has already been able to make a name for himself in the well-known advanced world of "Westward Conquering Demons". As long as he is in the mortal world, If you don't want to provoke those pets and children descended from the gods, or be targeted by the team of masters and apprentices who subdue demons, you can move freely in the world, and even become a mountain king somewhere.

No matter how dangerous the situation on earth is, could it be more dangerous than a world of advanced exploration?

This is his hometown of Decimus!

He still doesn’t know the situation in his hometown? No one understands the earth better than He does!

"No matter what, it can't be more terrifying than the 'World of Creation', right?"

With this thought in mind, the man picked up the package and prepared to set off. He laughed at himself: "There are at least one or two gods stationed on every planet in that place. If it is an important planet, there are even righteous gods stationed there!"

His figure was blurry and seemed to blend into the surrounding world. Decimus used 'Void World Walking' and entered the spirit world, preparing to go to his lover Chris's former home to collect the breaths of her parents, relatives and friends. Then use prophecy magic to find where they are.

However, just when he was about to take action, Decimus suddenly stopped his action.

"who!"

Turning his head warily and looking behind him, he saw the sparse trees on the hills swaying in the wind, and the moonlight falling from the fine clouds in the dark sky, outlining the edges of the clouds.

But these are just illusions.

In the caster's perception, he sensed a secret, but definitely not natural, magic wave. This wave appeared within a range of less than 400 meters around him, and gave him a sense of danger.

Four hundred meters, for the commander level, is almost an instant. At this distance, the surprise attack is almost impossible to dodge, so before letting out a low drink, Decimus had already blessed himself with more than three enhancements through silent casting. spell, and opened the package in his hand, activating the 'Alchemy Arms and Rock Armor' stored in it, and was about to enter a full combat state.

At the same time, he also used elemental perception to outline the current location and shape of the enemy in his soul vision.

However, just when Decimus, who had fully entered the combat state and was about to absorb all the earth elements within hundreds of meters around him and condense his own combat form, really saw his 'enemy', he froze on the spot again, motionless. .

Because what appeared in his soul's vision was not just a 'commander' as he imagined.

Instead, there are four peak leaders, plus dozens of extraordinary peaks!

--what happened? ! Why do so many powerful people suddenly appear? !

——Four demigods, dozens of high-level professionals... Where did this come from? !

"What the hell!"

No wonder Decimus wasn't shocked.

Such a lineup, even in the bloody battle of the abyss, can be regarded as an extremely elite team. Unless the demon lord of the abyss comes in person, or the devil archon leads his personal guards to encircle and suppress them, it is impossible to be completely eliminated.

If there is one more ordinary god (overlord earth immortal) among them, then he can completely separate himself from a part of the abyss and slowly plot to become the new lord of the abyss! It would not be surprising if it was a righteous god (an immortal immortal) who monopolized an abyss, turned it into his lair, and became one of the main messengers behind the bloody battle!

"Mr. Decimus, please do not resist."

It seems that because he was discovered, he didn't bother to hide anymore.

Along with a wave of magic power, among the strong men of the American Federation who appeared together, a man with long golden hair and a rather feminine face slowly walked out.

He has the strength of a commander, and his smile is very friendly, but in the eyes of Decimus, that soft smile is extremely dangerous, like a lurking poisonous snake: "My name is Crossel, I am a senior official of the American Federation and the NW Foundation. Senior executive officer, president of Rainbow Snake Group."

"Due to the reaction of our void ritual, there were obvious and abnormal void fluctuations in your direction, so I guessed that a powerful pioneer space explorer was coming here, so I personally led the team and came here to greet you."

"...What exactly do you want to do?"

Decimus couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard the words 'pioneer space' spoken by the other party.

At this moment, he sensed that the surrounding spiritual world had been blocked by the magic circle, and more than a dozen dimensional anchors were attached to his body. It was impossible to escape by teleportation or elemental transformation.

In a head-on confrontation, he is just a spell caster. After being countered by a large number of emergency spells, he can not even defeat four strong men of the same level who seem to be well prepared. Can he survive the first three in the battle? Seconds matter.

However, the only good thing now is that the purpose of this group of extraordinary beings is not to eliminate themselves, but to have a chat with themselves.

"...What do you want to talk to me about?"

Taking a deep breath, Decimus said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you in advance that I have not been on Earth for the past five years. If you want to ask about this matter, I know nothing about it."

"We know it, Mr. Explorer of Pioneer Space."

The blond man was very satisfied with Decimus' attitude that although he seemed a bit tough, he was actually completely submissive.

"The scales originating from my lord and my lord's apostle tell me that you have the unknown aura of the 'ancient lord' on your body."

President of the Litany of the Holy Snake Spirit, senior executive officer of the NW Foundation, and leader of the mysterious organization who has been cleansed, Crosell smiled and stared at the stubble in front of him, looking a little lonely and seemed to have been greatly hit. man.

He said softly: "It seems that you have encountered something irreversible? But don't worry."

Having said this, Crosell seemed to be quite enthusiastic and drew a circle on his chest - of course, depending on the arc, it might also be an egg.

Then, he said loudly: "Then make a wish to my Lord!"

"Under the light of candlelight, all your sorrows will be erased!"

"Holy!"

After Crosell, all the members of the NW Foundation who followed him - that is, the whitewashed members of the Litany of the Holy Serpent Spirit - also shouted in unison: "Our Lord has mercy!"

"ha?"

Confused by the sudden strange prayer, Decimus looked confused.

He stared at Crosell in front of him with incredible eyes: "Wait, who do you think your master is?"

"You actually worship the random world boss and infiltrate the police... ah no, you actually worship Zhu Zhou?!"
