Alien Knights

Seeing the beacon tower beginning to activate, Todd knew that there was not much time left.

He gave Evie a signal, then flapped his dragon wings and rushed towards Sutherland at full speed.

Seeing Todd approaching quickly, Sutherland touched the beacon tower with his limbs and stretched out the huge parasite tentacles on his body, lashing out at the intruder like a whip.

"If I want to kill you, I have ten thousand ways." Sutherland's voice was deafening: "You should learn to accept your fate instead of going against God."

Todd opened his huge mouth, and the flames sprayed out instantly covered the entire space in front of him.

However, these parasitic tentacles, which were like steel cables, did not respond to the flames' attacks and continued to hit Todd's body.

Along with the sound of cracking gold and stone, the dragon scales and blood on Todd's body scattered like petals flying in the sky.

The severe pain in his body caused Todd to roar. He stopped charging and could only use his body and dragon wings to barely parry Sutherland's attack.

Sutherland's voice sounded again: "In countless reincarnations, I have slowly learned a truth - where there is redemption, there must be sacrifice..."

"When resources are insufficient or the environment is harsh, the idea of ​​​​saving everyone is naive and unrealistic."

"Only by selecting the strongest and smartest individuals and maintaining their survival can we ensure that the fire will continue."

Sutherland moved his body and moved closer to Todd. His words were full of emotion: "In the age of the gods, I made such a mistake, which resulted in the disaster of annihilation for my people. Now, I won’t do it again…”

Broken wounds can be seen everywhere on the dragon's wings, and there is no intact skin on his body. Todd barely supports his body and flies in mid-air.

Just listen to his breathless roar: "Who lives and who dies is not decided by you or me... It all depends on the laws of nature. In the end, you are just using the so-called truth to cover up your selfishness. That’s it!”

Sutherland's countless eyes stared at Todd's figure and whispered: "When you become a god, you will understand everything I said."

At this moment, Evie, who had been lurking on Todd's back, suddenly burst out.

She rushed up along the dragon's spine, stepped on the parasite tentacles like steel cables, held spears in both hands, and flew all the way to Sutherland's body.

Using the power of time delay, Evie dodged Sutherland's layers of tentacles and limbs.

Taking advantage of the latter's unpreparedness, Evie jumped up, bending her body into a bow, holding the spear tightly with both hands, the tip of the spear pointed downward.

With all her strength, Evie crashed straight into Sutherland's chest. The spear also used the force to insert into a gap between the carapace, and the spear tip penetrated five centimeters inwards.

Sutherland was furious, and a limb as thick as a steel bar hit Evie hard, knocking the latter out like a kite with a broken string.

"Mean servant!"

"When the gods are on the throne, you are just a bunch of slaves serving wine and doing odd jobs!"

"How dare you point the weapon at your original master!"

Vicious words came out of Sutherland's mouth. He swung his limbs at Evie, about to launch a fatal blow.

Todd flew over at full speed, caught the falling Evie, and protected the latter with his body.

Sutherland stared at Todd and said in a deep voice: "This is your weakness. You actually put yourself in danger for a servant..."

Todd said coldly: "She has ceased to be your servant a long time ago, and you don't understand the value of life at all."

Sutherland looked at Todd directly for a while and finally said: "You should be lucky that you are still useful to me."

After saying this, Sutherland turned around and continued to use his limbs to activate the beacon tower.

Todd, who was covered in scars, carried Evie and flew with difficulty to a raised platform in the cave.

After carefully putting Evie down, Todd endured the pain in his body and squatted down to examine the former's wounds.

Evie's chest was completely sunken, and the irregularities on the surface of the skin clearly showed the fractures and dislocations of her ribs.

Todd used his clairvoyance ability to look at Evie's body. The latter's body functions were greatly damaged, but fortunately, important organs such as the brain and heart were still functioning normally.

Evie: "Sorry...I couldn't..."

Todd shook his head to signal Evie to stop talking, and whispered: "Don't blame yourself, you have done a very good job."

Evie struggled to turn her head and looked in the direction of Sutherland.

Blue light filled the air, and a faint metallic resonance sound could be heard.

Evie said softly: "I couldn't stop him..."

Todd looked at Sutherland and tried to flap the dragon's wings, hoping to attack again.

The cracks on the dragon's wings and the wounds all over his body caused him to stumble and fall to the ground, unable to fly anymore.

Todd's claws gripped the ground tightly, leaving several clear scratches on the hard rock. His red-gold dragon eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Suddenly, the ripples on the surface of the beacon tower grew larger and larger, even spreading to the entire tower.

A tiny crack appeared in the center of the ripples, and slowly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eventually, a circular black hole with a radius of less than one meter appeared on the surface of the beacon tower.

The originally slight metallic resonance suddenly became louder, gradually overpowering all nearby noises.

Sutherland extended the limbs of the parasites, passed through the black hole on the beacon tower, and penetrated directly into the interior of the tower.

The blue light on the entire beacon tower slowly faded, and finally turned gray and stopped.

In the next second, dazzling red light patterns instantly covered the entire surface of the beacon tower. This light symbolized a warning and also meant the end.

The red light that announced the coming of the end of the world became more and more intense, and finally one could even see through the magma that the same red light was emitting deep underground.

Seeing this scene, Todd understood deeply that it was too late.

The end has finally come.

Using all four limbs, he slowly crawled back to Ivie, stared blankly at the red-light beacon tower, and murmured: "I didn't fulfill my responsibilities, I let everyone down..."

Evie turned to Todd and said, "You have done everything you can."

Todd: "Everything they and I have worked hard to create, and the kingdom we have built, will all be destroyed..."

Evie: "You are the king of all of us. Everyone believes in you. They know that even at the last moment, you did not abandon them."

Todd leaned down and let out a long breath. There was no longer panic or anxiety in his eyes. He slowly said: "I will stand with my people, whether it is survival or death."

Evie stretched out her hand and took Todd's dragon claw: "We will follow you wherever you go, whether it is the end of the world or the eternal nothingness."

Todd lowered his head, looked at Evie, crossed his body to protect her, and said softly: "If you can't escape the end, then welcome the destruction with a smile."

Evie said nothing, just smiled and grabbed Todd's paw and nodded gently.

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the space, and a bright white hole slowly expanded in the cave and finally stopped at one end of the platform.

Through the white hole, you can vaguely see the scene inside that looks like a reflection in the lake.

It was a bustling and lively town, with cars traveling on the roads and planes flying in the sky.
