Lavana transformed into a winged centaur, and Louise and Liz mounted her one after the other.
The next instant, Ravana took off and hurtled away from the church cemetery.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had moved several hundred meters.
"Could you please stop grabbing my breasts?" Liz complained to Louise.
"What time is it for you to keep talking nonsense?" Louise said, deliberately gripping even tighter.
As Lavana flew, she said, "The opponent is fast, I can't shake them off." Generally, a fifth-tier rank can fly, but Lavana's flying speed far exceeds that of a fifth-tier rank. Even a sixth-tier rank without specialized flying skills cannot catch up with her. However, the intensity of the attack is getting smaller and smaller. With a little thought, one can guess that the opponent is a ghost.
Louise shouted, "Whatever, we'll just combine once we get to the woods and fight them all!"
During their time studying in Vienna, their skills continued to improve; more accurately, their systems were continuously optimized, further enhancing the performance of the hardware.
With that kind of strength, do you think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can mess with them?
Of course, the opponent's strength is obviously far superior to that perverted guy named Buck, so we can't be reckless. We have to use all our strength from the beginning to eliminate the opponent and not give him any chance.
“It’s hard to disagree.” Liz was now burning with fighting spirit. She was originally a red-haired barbarian from the island of Wieland, outwardly gentle and polite, but in reality, she worshipped violence.
Soon, they approached the woods, stopped, and instantly merged into one.
Counterattack? Not a chance; taking the initiative is their style.
Although ordinary attacks are ineffective against ghosts, their reaction and speed have reached another level after they merge. The instant they switch between reality and illusion is enough for them to complete the attack. Even if the opponent continues to remain ghost-like, it doesn't matter. They still have the means to directly tear apart the soul, and ghosts cannot ignore this kind of attack that directly strikes the soul.
A dozen seconds later, the battle began.
A minute later, the three who had merged were forced to separate, their hearts pounding with shock.
The combined Ryan and Lisa stood on the tree, backlit by the moonlight, looking down at the winged centaur knights on the ground.
"Don't assume we're like the ghosts you encountered before." "And don't assume you're the only ones who can combine."
The fusion project started when G&A was founded. Ryan and Lisa were among the second batch of participants, and were predecessors of Liz and Louise. They had many shortcomings compared to Liz and Louise, after all, they were several versions behind, but they also had many strengths compared to Louise and Liz.
Louise and Liz, the latest versions, prioritize stability and potential, and are the last generation before mass production. Ryan and Lisa, on the other hand, are versions built upon the prototypes Ronan and Dinah, using performance improvements and trial-and-error.
However, the ghost form compensated for the lack of stability and raised the upper limit, and both of them have been making continuous progress over the decades.
Without Lavana's special body as a vessel, Louise and Liz, now combined, would only be easily defeated by Ryan and Lisa.
“That’s really shameless,” Liz couldn’t help but say.
Their opponent's raw strength was no less than theirs, but in their ghostly state, they could still cast spells without needing to switch between reality and illusion. This made them immune to most of their attacks, and the only effective way to attack them was to get close and tear their souls apart.
"If you wish, you can also gain the ability to become ghosts."
Lisa said, "You will be much stronger then than you are now."
Louise laughed, "Sure, hand over all the information on this technology, and we'll learn it ourselves."
How could the Ghost Iron, which is under control, possibly agree to this?
Ryan scoffed, "Such an intense battle, coupled with your soul-tearing methods, is like a tug-of-war, where you'll be pulled along as well. How long can you maintain your combined form?"
“Your ghostly fusion cannot last indefinitely either,” Liz retorted. Ghosts touching others would cause them to become dizzy. Even if the two of them were more advanced than ordinary ghosts, they should not be able to violate this principle. Therefore, their ghostly fusion could not be maintained indefinitely.
After a brief exchange, the battle resumed.
The three of them appeared to be evenly matched, or even dominating the fight, but in reality, they were at a complete disadvantage because the damage they were taking was at least five or six times that of their opponents.
Given such a trade ratio, defeat is only a matter of time.
“It seems we can’t continue fighting. Let’s go, straight to the palace,” Louise said to Liz and Lavana.
She was convinced that the two men were the masterminds behind the Ghost Disease. They were colluding with the King of Austria, but at best they were collaborators, not truly of one mind. Since the two men wanted the three of them so badly, the ruler of Austria was not stupid. As soon as he saw them being chased, he would realize the problem and would definitely step in to protect them as a further check on the two men.
By then, Professor Noah, who is considered an important figure in the local community, will likely find a way to deal with the situation, and Sigrid will probably stop slacking off.
Therefore, they were safe once they went to the palace.
As for what happens next, we'll wait as long as we can. Ronan is definitely trying to break through that seal, and I believe his arrival is only a matter of time.
Ronan is here; he'll definitely take care of those two bastards.
The three of them broke free in one strike and headed straight for the royal palace.
"What's going on?" Ryan was taken aback. Did the other party think that if they ran to the city center, they would be afraid to make a move?
"Damn it." Lisa thought to herself, realizing in an instant what Louise and the others were planning.
The two immediately caught up.
In terms of speed, Lisa and Ryan were faster, but they were no match for the three who didn't dodge and just kept flying forward, taking damage head-on.
Chapter 1237 Gone Mad, Not Good Enough, the Clever Louise
After Lavana, Louise, and Liz merged, they formed a dark gold full-body Makay, silver metal wings, a black full-armor knight, and a golden eagle-crown helmet.
At full speed, it's practically supersonic, and can traverse the entire city of Vienna in less than two minutes.
It takes just over a minute to walk from the suburban forest to the royal palace in the city center.
However, after a brief period of straight flight at the beginning, the three began to turn and change course, while simultaneously unleashing magic at the fused ghosts that kept approaching them.
The enormous noise startled countless people awake. A few looked up and could only see three strands of thick, black, silver, and gold lines flying wildly and rapidly through the air, like a frenzied circus performance.
The magic was meant to deter enemies, but to the residents of Vienna, it was like a natural disaster unleashing a torrent of magic.
Where these three lines passed, the night sky resembled a bag torn open by a sharp blade, from which fiery rain burst forth.
The solid stone pavement shattered and splashed like a flaky caramel pudding being hit by scorching lava.
"Hahahaha, that's it, that's it!" Louise burst into wild laughter.
"Isn't this making too much of a commotion?" Lavana understood Louise's intention. This wasn't really to stop the enemy, but to create a big commotion to attract the attention of powerful figures and various forces, including the king, and to fully demonstrate her strength before heading straight for the kingdom so that she could be "detained" immediately.
But isn't this a bit too much?
"Is there a problem? We didn't blow up the house or set it on fire, we just damaged the road. No one will die." Liz was also very happy. Facing the other party's combined ghost state, he felt uncomfortable and suffocated, as if he were hitting air.
“It’s not our responsibility, it’s all those two bastards’ fault, hahahahahaha.” Louise laughed again as she spoke. “Lavana, you should be like your grassland ancestors, rampaging across the land like centipedes.”
“Actually, I…” Lavana was speechless for a moment.
She said she was just born on the grasslands, but she's not really a grassland person.
“Ravana, the most important thing in life is to be happy, hahahaha.” Liz also started laughing wildly. For the first time, she thought Louise was quite nice and to her liking. “Louise, you know what? I finally understand the joy of our ancestors.”
Louise continued casting her magic, "Go to hell! Your ancestors weren't Onsa barbarians at all, they were just colonized red-haired natives. You're just a bastard, hahaha."
"Go to hell, you damn black slave girl!" Liz cursed, raising her hand to fire and smash the spire of the passing church tower. "Damn it, I've been fed up with these lousy churches for a long time."
"It's so annoying!" Lavana cried out, her mind starting to wander.
Ultimately, for the past six months, their minds and bodies had been under immense pressure, and the battle just now became the fuse that ignited everything in an instant.
It's perfectly normal for artificial superhumans who have had magical devices implanted to fall ill during intense battles. It's just that for others, their soul and body would be out of control at this point, and they wouldn't even be able to stand up, let alone cast spells normally.
But the three of them are different; their illnesses do not affect their ability to cast spells.
Moreover, none of the three realized that they were not only gradually pushing the hardware to its limits, but also that their magic power ceiling and physical quality were constantly improving.
Ryan and Lisa continued their pursuit, occasionally delivering a heavy blow to the Silverwing Pegasus Black Knight.
But they still couldn't stop the three frenzied beings. There was even a strange feeling that they were becoming increasingly unable to shake the three people's souls or cause them to lose their bodies.
"Damn it, are they sick?" Ryan was furious and impotent.
"Which artificial superhuman isn't mentally ill? It's just that they have episodes but don't shut down." Lisa was equally annoyed. How did it become like this?
She never expected the situation to spiral out of control so quickly.
At this moment, countless extraordinary individuals in the city had already noticed this sudden upheaval, but for a moment they were confused about the situation and did not know how to deal with it.
In the faculty dormitory of Imperial University, Noah holds a cup of coffee and gazes at the "circus" in the distance.
"It's really amazing. The ascension of the soul leads to the ascension of the body. The magical artifacts are being gradually assimilated and devoured, becoming part of them. The limits of the superhumans are about to be broken. It's just a pity that it's done through fusion, which is ultimately not perfect."
On the other side, Sigrid was also watching.
Her mouth was now stretched almost to her ears, her smile so sinister it looked like a demon's.
Sure enough, she was right. Special artificial superhumans like the three of them needed to go crazy; only in this way could they advance on the path to godhood. "It's a pity, it's not enough," Sigrid sighed. "They're all too young."
The three had been suppressing their emotions for too long, and their outburst made them appear mentally unstable, though they didn't actually go insane.
Moreover, it's impossible for the three of them to actually go insane, because they are too young, haven't experienced that kind of powerless despair, and haven't felt the disillusionment of their ideals.
To be honest, her old friends, Ryan and Lisa, are more qualified and have a better chance.
At this moment, Ryan and Lisa's expressions grew increasingly grim. They realized that they had slowed down—no, that's not right, it was the other three who had sped up.
Two minutes later.
“That’s about enough,” Lavana said.
Despite having "demonic blood" flowing through her veins, this demonic blood is the opposite of what most people imagine. It has a forceful corrective effect, stabilizing the mind and body to prevent them from going out of control.
"Three more minutes. In three minutes, we'll head straight for the palace." Louise gradually recovered from her frenzied state, a result of her personality.
I think we can turn back and fight now. Liz wanted to fight.
She came from a single-parent family and was a "farmer." As Louise said, her gentle politeness was merely a facade she had acquired after siding with her noble father; deep down, she was a wild and uncouth countrywoman, not just ordinary, but incredibly irritable. Louise chuckled and advised, "Forget it, Liz. We've caused such a commotion; all the powerful figures in Vienna must have noticed. We can't get out, and if a fight breaks out, we'll be facing the entire Austrian Empire." Liz, though disdainful, didn't argue; she was somewhat self-aware.
The three turned and headed straight for the palace.
Stopping at the palace gates, the three of them disengaged from their fusion and raised their hands in front of the trembling guards.
"We are international students from Seres."
"We were being hunted by unknown individuals, and our actions just now were out of necessity."
"We demand a fair and open trial."
The three people exchanged three sentences, all of which were basically planned by Louise. Coming from an upper-class family and idolizing Ronan, she certainly possessed a wit that most of her peers lacked.
These three sentences are concise and to the point.
Austerlia wanted to oppose France and Germany, while Seres was opposed to France. His talk of being hunted down and having no other choice was just to give the King a way out and an excuse to request a fair and open trial. In fact, it was implying that in this vast Vienna, it was not just the King who could make decisions, but that we were now exposed to the eyes of many people.
Chapter 1238 Successfully Going to Jail, Powerful and Decisive, Okay?
Louise, Liz, and Lavana arrived at the palace, and Ryan and Lisa followed shortly after.
But did they really get into a fight with the three men in front of the palace?
After a brief moment, the two separated, Lisa retreated and disappeared, and Ryan, disguised as a masked man, arrived in front of the palace.
At this moment, King Antoine III, his brother Philip, and many others who had previously participated in the meeting arrived.
In front of everyone, the king acted decisively and immediately imprisoned the three men in a prison specifically set up for extraordinary individuals.
Half an hour later, in the prison.
Although it's called a prison, the environment is actually better than that of ordinary residential houses. It even has toilets inside, which is a luxury. This is because there are two prerequisites: first, a complete underground pipe network system, which is extremely expensive; and second, the country must have a decent industry and not lack "strategic resources" like excrement.
Back in the day, during Ronan's reign, he renovated and expanded the underground pipe network system of the capital city of Paristo, allowing half of the city's residents to use toilets. In an instant, Paristo was transformed from the dirtiest and smelliest city in the western continent into the cleanest city. Even the beggars of France were proud of this, even though they were not entitled to use toilets and had to pay a "shit tax." That's right, Ronan was that ruthless; even beggars had to pay taxes. Back then, no one in France could escape taxes.
Louise lay on the bed. "I'm telling you, the king will be coming to see us in less than half an hour."
"Do you even need to tell me?" Liz sat on the edge of the bed, curling her lip in disdain.
Louise deliberately kicked Liz in the back. "Liz, show me some respect. I'm the one who got everyone out of danger."
Liz turned her head. "It was you who insisted on having a barbecue in the cemetery."
Louise puffed out her cheeks and retorted, "Damn, you didn't eat?"
Lavana was fixing her hair. She'd just been on a wild ride in Vienna, and as the "vehicle," her hair was a mess. She really didn't want to be seen without tidying it up. As for Louise and Liz's argument, she was used to it and didn't care.
Soon, less than half an hour later, the King arrived, along with his brother Philip and the masked man.
At the same time, in the town of Fisse, on a new continent thousands of miles away, inside the secret experimental base of the technology team.
Madam Zhao was bound to an upright bed, completely naked, with her hands and feet spread apart, her eyes blindfolded, her nipples attached to strange tubes resembling octopus tentacles, and a strange object connected to a threaded flexible tube inserted into her lower body. Her body convulsed, and her face trembled.
Falek moved closer and sniffed. "Swoosh... This soul's aura is strong and powerful, so strong and powerful."
As an important aid, Zhao Yingqi, whose body was linked to Madam Zhao through a device, sat on a sofa some distance away, holding a glass of red wine. "Hahahaha, don't stop her, Faith, keep injecting her." "I'm coming, Zhao." Faith said, pulling off the "octopus tentacles," biting Madam Zhao's nipple, and beginning to cast her special magic.
Zhao Yingqi simultaneously experienced an extraordinary pleasure, feeling an intense surge of excitement throughout his body.
As Canaan operated the equipment, he watched as Madam Zhao's breasts continued to swell. "Haha, it's injected! It's injected! Second Sister Zhao, how are you feeling now? How are you feeling?"
Not only were Mrs. Zhao's breasts getting bigger, but her belly was also getting bigger, as if she were pregnant.
