Maria's expression suddenly became very calm.
The worries that had accumulated over the past few days suddenly disappeared, replaced by peace. This was certainly not because the crisis had passed, but Maria had a vague feeling that the time had come.
As a result, the speed of Zhuifeng Zhudian increased again, and a trace of light pattern with erosion energy quietly appeared on Maria's face.
……
"Boom!"
"Moracus, Hagentus! You are dreaming of building a comprehensive defense line to resist the sea tribe! Watch me first and flood all your cities!"
I don't know how He got the message. I don't know how He chose this moment when only the Final Guardian was left and all other allies were preparing defenses everywhere.
Whether it was carefully prepared or just a coincidence is not important at the moment.
"Ah~~"
Finally, looking at the sea devil coming with raging waves and endless sea beasts, he sighed deeply, and then fully deployed the defense mechanism of the return group.
"Shhhhhh!"
"boom!"
Countless beam arrows were fired into the sea, slaughtering the sea monsters riding the waves.
However, the sea beasts can be stopped, but the huge waves raised by the demon god cannot be blocked by the machine. The only one who can stop the power of the demon god is a being of the same demon god level.
Finally, he summoned his own magic weapon, a brilliant magic ball, and then it soared into the sky, rolling up yellow sand and dust.
"Boom!!!"
Ocean waves collide with dust waves.
In terms of demon power, she is not strong after all. She is the type that is good at intelligence but not strength.
In terms of power, the quality and quantity of sand and dust are far inferior to the endless flow of sea water.
Therefore, in the end, we suffered a series of setbacks.
But no matter what, the dust waves blocked the return of the group and prevented the tragedy of the sea water submerging everything.
“I can’t win.”
In the end, you will know the result immediately.
"But even if we can't win, we have to protect Guiliji until reinforcements arrive. Just wait, even if I die, you won't have any good results either."
After all, she had seen too many deaths and lives, so she had no fear of her own death. She just thought of Maria, Morax and others. If she died here, this demon god and the sea tribe would be in big trouble, right?
After finally returning to the past, he enjoyed himself for a while. Then he put away all distractions, focused on facing the Sea Demon, and launched an all-out attack and defense.
One party was on the shore, the other on the sea; the two forces of sand and sea water collided with an infinite power that changed the color of heaven and earth.
However, compared to the sea demon who can fight all around by himself, the final strength is still far behind.
By the time Maria arrived, the outcome was already decided.
Chapter 124 Double Impact
"Water birds... dancing wildly!"
The flying blood-red streak crossed the sea, chopped the giant sea monster into countless salt crystals that fell into the sea, and also swept away a group of sea monsters that were about to return.
"Salt King! It's Salt King coming to support us!"
"Salt King, please save Dust King, save our God!"
Maria had no time to look at the people below. She flew to a high mountain and saw a girl who was pierced through the body by a sharp giant claw and nailed to death on the top of the mountain.
Guizhong was kneeling in a pool of blood. When he saw Maria coming, a thrilling smile broke out on his blood-stained face.
"Maria, you're here. Sorry, I can't entertain you today, ahem!"
Maria's hand holding the blood sword trembled.
Then get down on one knee before the end, touching the wounds and claws.
"Just bear with it, it won't hurt."
Maria said expressionlessly, placing her hand on the claws, activating the power of salt, while also injecting a genuine pain-relieving ingredient into the wound of the final death.
After a moment, Gui finally fell into Maria's arms.
Maria manipulates the power of blood to stop bleeding and heal wounds for the end.
However, Guizhong held Maria's hand, shook his head, and raised his bloody neck.
"Quick, use my power and strength to kill the sea demon... the demon god... I can't hold on for much longer..."
At this moment, the return still maintains the protection of the returning dust waves.
If this were not the case, Maria would have found only a flooded city when she arrived.
Maria did not hesitate, but she did not bite Guizhong's neck to injure her further. She just kissed Guizhong's bloody lips and absorbed the bloody saliva in her mouth.
"Wait until I come back."
"Of course. Can I still run away?"
In the end, he tried hard to suppress his fear and pain and smiled at Maria.
Maria kissed the little girl's forehead again, then turned into a beam of blood and rushed into the surging sea.
Neither Heulia nor the Returned Demon were very powerful, but with the small amount of Destruction Energy that Maria forcibly extracted from the Herrscher Core, they formed a force that was almost unstoppable in Teyvat.
The waves continued to surge for a quarter of an hour, then Maria flew out of the water and returned to the top of the mountain.
Guizhong looked at Maria's face and was stunned for a moment:
"Maria, you..."
The lines of damage and erosion on Maria's face became more obvious.
That was a warning that the Herrscher's core could not bear the burden.
The core of the Thousand Herrscher was originally a divided and weak core. Without the supply of virtual portals, it has continued to provide energy for Maria for more than seven hundred years.
No matter how Maria adjusts her combat mode, she mainly consumes elemental power in combat, but she is still a Herrscher after all, and all her activities require the support of the Herrscher core.
During these seven hundred years, Maria never stood still. Especially in the three hundred years after she made up her mind, she did her best to protect Heulia, the end, and the city-states and settlements they cared about, fighting and fighting again and again.
With such consumption and the forced extraction of Honkai energy, the condition of the Herrscher Core is really not good.
Maria touched the lines on her face and said calmly:
"Nothing, just a little bit of energy consumption. How are you now?"
"Ah, the wound is a bit serious... The Demon God of the Sea is dead. Maria is worthy of being called such. She never disappoints us. But the scattered dust tells me that the sea water has already formed, and the next step is a natural disaster. I am afraid that Ogihua State and the Salt of the Earth will inevitably suffer a great flood no matter what, and we will all have to relocate."
In the end, he avoided the main issue and glossed over his own injuries.
Maria didn't ask further questions. Who told her to avoid the main point? No one should say anything about anyone else. At least she is still here.
"Ok?"
Maria and Guizhong suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the north.
"How could that be? That's the direction that Ruo Tuo is guarding. How could anyone possibly break through his defense?"
"I don't see any signs of the rock element rioting. Maybe it bypassed Roda in some tricky way. Rest here. I'll be back soon."
There was a bloody blade in Maria's hand, and she looked calm and indifferent.
The full-scale reversal of the historical trend has arrived. At this juncture, it is a natural law that the disaster will intensify, and there is no need to be surprised.
She seemed to understand why Istaru had completely disappeared from history.
The guy must have experienced the same kind of rebound countless times, and it is hard to say whether he is still alive now.
Maria was about to leave, but Guizhong grabbed her hand, with tears of anxiety flashing in his weak eyes.
"Have you already..."
"Don't overthink it. I will survive and will take you all along into the future. Just trust me."
Maria couldn't explain too much, she could only hold up Guishuang's head and forcefully kiss her until she was dizzy and speechless, then she stood up and flew towards the threat coming from the north.
What followed was endless killing.
Water birds danced wildly and blood flowed into a pool.
Demons, beasts, monsters, Maria didn't know how many things she had chopped off, but she turned the north of Guiliji into a river of blood.
Then, she looked towards the direction of the salt in the ground.
"Yes, since it is a major trend, if it impacts the end, it will naturally impact Heulia as well."
Maria did not hesitate, she soared into the air and transformed into huge blood-red wings.
It is to speed up the journey to the salt of the earth and also to send a signal to the end.
When I finally saw the flying blood shadow, I really understood what Maria meant.
"Even Yancheng... cough! No, before my power runs out, I have to prepare everyone for evacuation and migration."
Finally, he managed to stand up, still blocking the waves, while summoning the senior executives who had left the group.
……
For the first time, Heulia did not flee when a powerful enemy came, and for the first time, she used her own strength to protect her city.
"Boom!!!"
The demons and monsters from the outside world were attacking and shaking the entire city.
Heulia used the wall designed by Maria for defense. According to Maria's teachings, she used strong salt crystals to consolidate and repair the wall, surrounding the entire city and resisting all external attacks.
At the same time, countless soldiers on the city walls controlled long-range weapons and fired an endless supply of salt arrows. Not only was the killing power amazing, but it could also turn the wounded monsters into salt powder, which was the attack method of Heulia's power.
"The king's perception is extraordinary. Even after leaving the Demon God Slayer, he can still sense the situation in Salt City. So don't panic. I will protect everyone until the king returns. Just wait... cough! Wait until the king returns!"
Heulia stood on the city gate, smiling and soothing her people with gentle words.
The Salt City soldiers nodded respectfully, then said nothing, silently guarding Heulia.
As the people of the Salt God, no one knows better than the Salt People how gentle and weak their God is. If they cannot hold out until the King returns, then, they will not hesitate to become Heulia's last line of defense.
Chapter 125 The First Battle
Just as Maria had thought before.
The settlement city-state developed well and was not pushed back to despair. Without the catalysis of extreme environment, the faith of the salt people remained normal and unshakable.
There will be no backstabs. Standing around Heulia now are only the people of God who are determined to protect her with their lives.
At this time, flying monsters appeared outside the city. They were so dense that they looked like locusts flying through the city, but they were much larger and more terrifying than locusts.
A hint of fear flashed across Heulia's eyes, but she held on.
"Wang Ye has taught me this before!"
Heulia raised her hands high, and her power was once again activated. What was originally just a crystal stretched upwards, and soon formed a front shield that completely blocked the threat from the sky.
However, Heulia's face turned pale. She was exhausted and her meager strength would not allow her to maintain this mode for too long.
"Lady Heulia, please open the city gate a little."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"The knights can fight outside the city, reducing the pressure from monsters attacking the city walls."
"Don't talk nonsense, you will get hurt!"
Heulia waved her hands hastily.
The officer stood straight, beating his chest with one hand.
"The Salt Knights are responsible for protecting the Salt City and the Salt God. Now is the time for us to die! Lady Heulia, for you and for everyone in the city, please let us go to the battlefield and relieve the pressure!"
"No, no! Absolutely not! Ah!"
Heulia refused. Suddenly her face turned pale and her body swayed. She had to hold on to the wall beside her to stand up.
There was no other reason. The demon from the outside world slapped the salt mask with a giant claw that covered the sky and the sun.
