Eva wasn't advancing fast, at least not with Lucca's naked eye.

Luca was holding Betsy's sniper rifle in his hand, which was one of the few remaining firearms in his possession that still had ammunition. Just a moment ago, Lucca, who was hiding behind an abandoned restaurant with Anthony, had used this sniper rifle to deal zero damage. Just as he had expected, Lucca's target was him. However, based on his extraordinary sense of danger, he didn't even have 20% chance of hitting the expert zero. This was the result of taking into account the huge drop in his physical strength and even the dulling of his senses. Under normal circumstances, a sniper would have to be within three hundred meters of the target, but the distance between the restaurant and the target was at least seven hundred meters.

So Luca set his target on the horse next to zero. Anthony had once analyzed the concept of zero. According to the theory that zero was incompatible with the new era, when people he identified with were in danger, he would often do something stupid. This was evident from what he had done before zero. Luca knew then that when the next horse was attacked, Zero would unconsciously push him away.

However, this action would allow Zero to automatically send it to Lucca's sniping trajectory.

It turned out Luca was right. Zero had simply delivered itself to his door for him to shoot. Although he didn't manage to hit Zero's heart with a shot, or even which part of the body he would hit, it was impossible to predict with the level of a half-shot like Lucca. However, his real target was not the sniper rifle. Instead, they attached a strand of Anthony's mental thread to the bullet. As long as the bullet entered their body, Anthony would be able to launch a mental attack through this mental thread. This was their true trump card.

With a distance of more than 500 meters between them, it was enough for the zeroed members to safely retreat before they could react. They then used a guerrilla hit method to knock them down one by one, before ultimately exterminating them all. In this way, if the experimental diary was with zero, Anthony and Luo Yuan could smoothly pass the test. Even if not, there were only the two of them left in the three teams. According to Asgard's unwritten rules, without a competitor, the two of them could graduate as well. As for the dead members, as long as they had enough merit points, they could be recruited later in Asgard's army system.

Everything seemed so beautiful, especially the moment of the zero collapse, Anthony already felt that victory was already in his grasp.

Until Eva charged them. The speed of this unfamiliar woman who did not appear in any of the documents was not fast, but she naturally had a strong sense of oppression as she ran towards the restaurant from a distance. Lucca and Anthony immediately felt their steps turn heavy as they found it hard to breathe. The walls of the restaurant, on the other hand, looked as though they were being crushed by something heavy. Thick cracks actually appeared on the walls of the restaurant, and soon after, the walls collapsed, exposing Anthony and Fatty to Eva's eyes!

When the distance between the two parties shrank to about a hundred meters, Lucca finally freed himself from the fear in his heart. With a loud roar, he raised his sniper rifle and pointed it in Eva's direction with bloodshot eyes.

Eva suddenly vanished from Luca's sight. She leaned back so hard that she was about to touch the ground. Eve reached down and pushed herself up, kicking Luca in the temple as she did so. If he let her kick him, the kick with the strength of a level eight would definitely turn Lucca's head into dust.

Luca had reacted, after all, and the sniper rifle in his hand swept at the tip of Eva's foot. Now he swung his head back, out of the range of Eva's attack.

Eve let out a soft sigh of surprise, her toes already touching the sniper rifle. Countless cracks instantly appeared on the surface of this sniper rifle, which was made of alloy, and then it shattered. Countless parts splashed out, and there were even many bloody lines drawn on Lucca's face. However, Eve's final kick landed on empty air, but as her other hand pressed down on the ground, using the force of her waist's rotation, she instantly stomped heavily on Luca's chest.

Lucca's chest immediately caved in as he was sent flying even further.

He crashed into a load bearing pole behind Anthony. As he fell, he propped himself up on the ground with both hands. However, he opened his mouth and spewed out a large cloud of blood. There were pieces of minced meat mixed within this pool of blood. When Lucca raised his head again, blood was trickling out from his mouth and nose. He gasped for breath, and with just a few simple breaths, Luca knew he was seriously injured. First of all, his sternum had completely shattered, and the broken bones had even pierced into his internal organs. Even his heart, which was located in his chest, had been pierced by tiny bone spikes. In addition, not only did Eva have the strength of at least the sixth step, but she also had the destructive attribute in her attack. Not only did they cause irreparable damage to the muscles and fibers in Lucca's chest, the energy even seeped into Lucca's body.

Luca knew he couldn't get out of the base, but at least he could get Anthony out. In an instant, he decided to sacrifice himself to help Anthony stall this terrifying woman.

As Eva approached him with graceful steps, Luca let out a hysterical roar and burst forth with what little energy he had left. "Run, Ann," he called to Anthony.

Before he could finish his words, Luca felt someone push against his back, forcing him to pounce on Eva.

All of a sudden, before Luca could react, Eva's incoming punch had hit him squarely in the left side of his chest. Lucca bounced up abruptly. The energy on Eva's fist pierced through his chest, crushing his muscles. At the same time, her heart, along with his flesh and bones, was blasted out from his back.

When Lucca fell on the ground, blood continuously flowed out from the hole he had made on his back. Soon, it had accumulated into a pool of blood. At the moment of Lucca's death, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He'd been betrayed by Anthony, but Luca didn't have the strength to hate him. In that instant, he had decided to sacrifice himself for Anthony. But now, it seemed so laughable. Even if he hadn't, Anthony would have sacrificed him at once.

Suddenly, Luca was envious of Zero's team members. Because they had a captain that they could sacrifice for them!

The bitter smile froze on Lucca's face forever. The man's widened eyes gradually widened. Eva looked at the body, and she seemed to feel something, and she shook her head, and turned away from Anthony, who had run away, and walked back in the direction of zero.

"Zero, can you hear me?"

Feng slapped Zero's face and called out anxiously.

The battle uniform on the upper half of Zero's body had already been taken off. Although the medical kit was effective and did simple nursing, Zero's consciousness seemed to have fallen into some sort of deep sleep. His eyes were wide open, but he had lost all reaction to any kind of stimulation.

The sniper rifle bullet was not fatal. After it entered Zero's body, it was blocked by its powerful muscles. Furthermore, the place where the bullet landed was not a fatal spot. Furthermore, the bullet did not burst any of the vital blood vessels in Zero's body. All of this did not seem like it should have happened, but he did not have the slightest reaction, causing Feng Feiyun and the others to only feel anxious.

On the bullet that had zero blood on it, which was casually thrown to the side by Su Su Bai, Feng and the others did not know that Anthony had used it to launch a long-distance spiritual attack on Zero.

The moment the bullet entered Anthony's body, his spiritual shock was like an irresistible torrent smashing straight into Zero's consciousness. His consciousness was suddenly hit by a huge impact, causing Zero to fall into a state similar to that of a computer. With all of his willpower and spirit struggling to resist Anthony's attacks, he naturally had no reaction to the outside world.

In this world of zero consciousness, the light bands formed by countless numbers intertwined and intertwined in a complex manner. On the other hand, Anthony's spiritual attack was constantly slashing through the streams of data, and the data that was sliced off by the streams of energy would silently shatter in the air, turning into fine particles before dissipating. The dissipation of every piece of data represented the loss of a part of his consciousness. Once all of the data was destroyed by the shock wave, then Zero would suffer irreparable damage. It would become a vegetable at best, but its brain would immediately die!

In this world full of data, at the very bottom of the countless streams of data, the figure of zero would turn from virtual to real, finally appearing as a physical entity in this world of consciousness. This was the main consciousness of zero. Zero looked at the data that was constantly being destroyed by the impact numbers and immediately realized what had happened.

As each piece of data disappeared, Zero could sense that he had forgotten something. He knew that when all the data disappeared, he would be like a computer that had been forced to format, becoming blank!

"Don't even think about it!" Zero let out an angry roar at the level of his consciousness.

All he could remember was what he had seen and heard after waking up from the hibernation pod. How could this insignificant memory be allowed to be destroyed by Anthony? How could Zero forget all the people he knew, all the things he had done, and finally bury himself in the eternal darkness?

Impossible!

Impossible!

Zero roared angrily. Even though it was only a projection of his main consciousness, just like his main body, the golden eyes of his right eye spewed out intense golden flames. At the same time, the silver threads that were scattered around the edges of the pupil quietly converged, not turning into a vertical pupil as if it had entered berserk mode. Instead, it continuously twisted and combined, as if it was forming something.

At the same time, in the dark world of consciousness, a faint golden light rose from beneath Zero's feet. He raised his hands and pointed angrily at the foreign energy that had destroyed his consciousness. Immediately, the golden light beneath him followed the direction of where Zero's hands had been. Rays of golden light shot up from the ground.

They flew and spun, converging into a beam of golden light that split the sky and split the earth, crashing into Anthony's Master's attack.

In an instant, the entire world of consciousness lit up. The energy on the surface of the golden pillar of light surged, rising higher and higher like the acceleration of a rocket. The beam of light that was hit by Anthony's shock wave shot up into the sky unceasingly. Finally, it turned into a glimmering light in Zero's eyes, disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, the countless silver lines in Zero's right eye had already formed the shape of a symbol. However, this symbol was not stable yet, and the countless silver threads at its edges were still scattered. But regardless of the fact that this symbol was stable and was forced out of the world of consciousness by the force of the impact, the zero spiritual force loosened and the symbol in his eyes immediately dissipated, turning back into countless silver threads that returned to the edges of his zero pupils.

In the real world, Zero's eyes that were originally unfocused suddenly spewed out a long golden flame from his right eye. His whole body suddenly shook. As the golden flames fell back down, Ling Chen's eyes gradually focused, and finally, he saw the few people who were extremely worried.

The awakening of Zero naturally made people happy. As for Ma pei, who saved his life, he hugged him even tighter and almost suffocated Zero. In the end it was Maple who let go, or Zero would have fainted.

At this moment, the base's shaking reminded everyone that the danger had not passed. Thus, with the nearly exhausted zero on his back, the team moved towards the exit under Maple's guidance. Eva walked at the end, looking thoughtfully at the zero on the black's back.

That's right, that should be the aura of awakening. Eve said with certainty.

In the world of consciousness, when the symbol of zero gradually took shape, Eva could clearly feel the extremely faint yet majestic power exuding from the eye of the god. The aura contained so much information that Eve could barely decipher the limited attributes of prediction, energy, and source. As for most of it, it was hidden within the vast amounts of data.

Without a doubt, this was the sign that the God's Eye had awakened. It didn't matter if you had zero, Eva, or Feng's divine items, when they awakened, they would produce a might that contained their own unique attributes. Using Eva as an example, when she woke up, the aura released by the Blood of God included information on the attributes such as regeneration, strength, split and so on.

However, the scattered power of awakening suddenly stopped. He was still a step away from true awakening. But Eva believed that when this power appeared again, zero would truly awaken.

I'm really looking forward to it! What kind of power does the Eye of God, which represents the past and the future, the destruction and rebirth, suddenly possess? Let me bear witness. Eve nodded slightly, and it wasn't until all the information revealed by Zero's Awakening Power that she decided to stay with him and wait for him to become a true equal partner.

At the command post on the ground floor of the Cossacks' military base, Anthony stumbled into the hall. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell onto a dead body on the ground. Anthony could not help coughing up more blood. He wiped his mouth, struggled to his feet, and trotted away from the oversized command post.

In the underground base, when Zero expelled Anthony's Spiritual Shock from the world of consciousness, as the one who triggered the ability, Anthony personally experienced the pain of the backlash. After the Spiritual Shock was forcibly expelled from the world of consciousness, it followed the natural connection between the users of the ability and fiercely stabbed into Anthony's world of consciousness like an iron pillar.

This caused Anthony to be severely injured. Although the attack power he received was lower than zero, it still caused Anthony to enter a state of unconsciousness for a few seconds. When Anthony leveled out the trauma in his consciousness, although he regained his ability to move, his ability to move after being injured permanently decreased by one step. This caused him to be bone-deep in hatred, but he had completely forgotten who launched the attack first.

Anthony escaped from the command post, and the world was covered with snow. The blizzard had stopped, but a snowdrift three meters above the surface was more dangerous than a blizzard. They emit strong radiation all the time, and the way they pile up makes it harder for the radiation in the snow to evaporate. As a result of this, Anthony, whose stamina had greatly decreased, felt dizzy and nauseous the moment he was exposed outside the room, even though he was wearing a battle uniform.

He immediately adjusted the level of Nightmare Tactic's armor, and the disgust in his heart gradually disappeared. Looking at the open space before him, Anthony felt like he had nowhere to go. Asgard could not return. Even if he was still alive, he would not be able to find any job after returning. The hatred between him and Zero was already formed. Now, Zero was still alive. After returning to Asgard and graduating from school, Zero's strength and power were both on par with him.

Glancing north, Anthony gritted his teeth and decided to return to the wilderness on the coastline and reclaim his livelihood.

Not long after Anthony left, Zero and the other strange creatures that were pouring out of the exit left the command post. The army of mutated beasts that were fleeing under the Cossacks had already caught Asgard's attention. Such a large group of mutated beasts fleeing away from the wilderness would not be a good thing for the Western tribes that maintained a friendly relationship with Asgard, nor for Asgard itself.

In Asgard, the "Shield of Dawn" that belonged to the God of Light, Badr, was summoned from Asgard. The Shield of Dawn had only about seven hundred members, second only to Doomhammer, the second smallest legion in Asgaritri. Of the seven hundred members, one hundred were Light Elementalists with an average level of around the fifth step. The rest were guards, logistics, and the like.

A small team was formed with a single Elemental Domain esper and six other members. This legion of a hundred teams had good defense. They were known as Asgard's strongest shields. Even in the war thirty years ago, the defensive line formed by the Shield of Dawn had yet to be broken!

Now, the Shield of Dawn was acting as a guide for the flood of strange creatures. From a high altitude, it could be seen that the members of the Shield of Dawn had surrounded the Cossack base, but only in the southwest corner had there been a deliberate opening. Protected by the guards, the elementalists used all sorts of orbs of light to tear through the air and fall in to the alien horde, forcing them to retreat. In the end, they had no choice but to flee in the same direction.

To the southwest, the Shadow God Loki's Legion, the Dark Tip, watched and controlled along the way to ensure that this flood of alien creatures was far away from the Jurian Mountains and the frozen plains to the west. As for the unforeseen event that this army would bring to the wilderness in the southwest, or even to the coastal cities in the south, it was no longer part of Asgard's consideration.

However, the vast wilderness that spanned tens of thousands of miles was like an endless sea. Although there were many beasts, they could only cause a few large waves in this sea.
