$534 "Balance" - Dr. Manhattan
Speaking of death, she had already left the high-level heaven at this time, and the high-level heaven that had just gained some brilliance was now only left with chicken feathers.
Israel, the archangel, may have many calculations and even hurt his brother for the sake of "ideal" and "power", but after all, he is still an archangel and will be proud of his choice.
He has always tried his best to defend the entire high-level heaven.
This is not only the home of the Archangels, but also the embodiment of their beliefs!
But now! After losing this archangel, this place started to become a little strange!
Yizuer, a noble and unyielding angel, also became a member of the death list along with Israel.
How could death leave a living person who could clearly tell others what happened here?
Their plan still needs time!
At this time, the high-level heaven lost the protection of the parchment scroll in Israel's hand and the radiance of Tyrael's holy feather, and finally began to show its dilapidated appearance again.
Ruins?
More than that!
All the wounds that originally appeared when the Great Demon God arrived began to emerge bit by bit!
Due to the protection of the four archangels, the high-level heaven has barely regained its splendor. At this time, there is almost nothing left. Only the spring water flowing everywhere in the spring of heaven declares that this dilapidated place was the home of the angels!
Cracks are everywhere, and the beauty is disappearing little by little.
At this time, Anderson and Johnny finally returned to the high-level heaven, and they could hardly believe the scene they saw!
From the moment they stepped onto the gate of heaven, they noticed this little bit of dilapidated change!
"Is this a high-level paradise?"
Johnny asked somewhat puzzlingly to Anderson, who was silent next to him.
The wings of light behind the two angels became a little flickering.
Although the two of them were still moving forward slowly, Anderson was already very alert.
He is not Johnny, a guy who has not received professional combat training.
"Obviously, there's something going on here that we don't know about."
Anderson's expression hidden under the armor became a little gloomy.
As a "human", he was a devout believer!
As an angel, he is the lintel of courage!
For an out-and-out fighter, it would be difficult for him to remain calm when faced with the sight of his beliefs being trampled upon.
The light belonging to the Angel of Courage flickered on and off, and the temperature continued to rise.
Every time Anderson takes a step, his body temperature will rise a few points!
Until they arrived at the gate of the place where Israel and Tyrael fell!
Two angels stopped at this place!
"Come on, we need to find the Archangels."
Anderson's voice sounded gritty.
Johnny could barely feel that Anderson's anger was not a targetless rage, he could even feel the restraint in it!
Anderson may not fully understand the power of Israel, the Archangel of Balance, but he knows one thing!
That is because now he simply cannot face the power that is enough to destroy the Archangel!
Yes!
Anderson has sensed the aura of Israel's demise!
That cheerful, somewhat crazy laughter seemed to be echoing in his mind!
He could even vaguely feel that the power of the Archangel of Balance was fading little by little, and the glory belonging to Israel was ending little by little!
He even felt reincarnation!
Israel will die, but Balance will not!
"Reincarnation" may be the truth behind Israel's demise, but Anderson can only vaguely understand it as he does now!
Regardless of whether Israel suffered a sneak attack or a shameful betrayal, Anderson knew that he could not have the power to fight the man who could erase or replace "balance".
Anderson is a mature warrior and a fanatical angel!
Pioneer of Courage!
One day he will be able to grow to the level of Yizuer and Ozil, the two pioneers of the Archangels of Justice!
He has understood his position as an angel!
That is the spear of courage that pierces all obstacles!
There is no escape option for him! Because of the authority given to him by Prius, that's it!
Sharp!
He is not strong enough!
When he is able to assume the responsibility of the pioneer of courage, he will be called the Sharp Angel!
But at this time, it’s not enough!
Johnny on the side felt the sharp edge contained in the heat next to Anderson, but the high temperature made him a little uneasy.
Johnny's nature as an angel is not just any angel.
He has obtained the existence of Yizuer as an angelic power, and his essence is closer to the coldness of Yizuer itself.
Even if he can continue to grow, then he will be the next Yizuer!
After all, Yizuer has put everything in himself as an angel on him!
Yizuer is the kind of guy who would do this!
What was Yi Zuer's condition at that time?
Devil's bones! Angel heart! Human flesh!
A monster!
Even Yi Zuer himself could not accept his change, even if the barbarian promised to help him change back to his original appearance.
But how can solid and cold justice accept unwarranted gifts?
He is noble!
Think that his dedication is justified! Think that his dedication should not be rewarded in any way!
It is because of this that Izual was able to accept the stubbornness of Tyrael, the Archangel of Justice, and stayed by Tyrael's side without any thoughts.
Until the moment when he was forcibly fallen from heaven!
Johnny got everything that the Ice Angel of Justice had as an angel, but he was still too immature. Even though Anderson's temperature was not released for him, it still made the angel recruit feel very uncomfortable.
So Johnny had to use the cold breath on his body to calm himself down.
This approach made him feel some strange nostalgia. Although he was sure that he had never done such a thing, that kind of nostalgia was like a shadow emerging in his heart.
This is the memory of the angel Izual.
He always got along with Ozil like this back then.
It's a pity that Ozil chose to join the Wisdom.
Yes, the burning justice does not need cooling, but correct guidance.
Which archangel is more suitable to point out the direction to Ozil than the Archangel of Wisdom?
Just as Johnny did this, in the room across the door, where Izual was killed! A blue light flashed from the ground there, and turned into the legend that had accompanied Izual in constant battles and appeared in his hand.
Azure Fury!
Anderson took a look at the legend and the temperature suddenly rose a few degrees.
Of course he knew the meaning of this legend!
The legend that had always accompanied Izual in being forcibly fallen from heaven represented the justice and anger of Izual's justice that could not melt the ice!
The meaning of the legend to the original owner is not just a weapon.
This is obviously that Azure Fury chose a new owner, instead of being willingly handed over to Johnny by Izual!
This may be a trust!
Johnny did not have the qualities of a warrior at all, and he was so immature that Anderson hesitated.
But the legend still made such a choice. Undoubtedly, this has told Anderson the news of Izual's death!
"Go!"
Anderson grabbed Johnny's wrist, and a spear appeared in his other hand!
He was ready to be attacked! Even, ready to die here!
He is not Ozil, who might attack directly to the other side of the gate at this time!
The burning angel rarely calms down!
But Anderson is different!
Even if he has been prepared to face death, at least someone should be able to tell the archangels what happened here!
He is sharp, not burning. Sharp weapons need to be guided by mature beliefs!
He will not lose his mind!
Anderson and Johnny turned into two light mists in an instant, moving rapidly towards the outside of the high-level heaven, not even caring to avoid the exquisite decorations along the way!
Sharpness can always penetrate all obstacles and pierce the haze!
How could the only angel under Courage in a long time be mediocre!
And in a place that the two angels could not see, behind the solid door, Dr. Manhattan waved his hand to directly disperse the energy thrown by Death, or decompose or neutralize it?
"You know, our plan needs this time. Or, after you were influenced by the archangel, you still have a nostalgia for the higher heaven in your heart?"
Death looked at Dr. Manhattan with a bit of unkindness.
This method was not the kind that Dr. Manhattan would have used originally. There is no need to think about it, it must come from the power of balance.
Although the two people's goals are temporarily the same, it does not mean that the two people can be close!
Death wants revenge, and the original Dr. Manhattan is the same, but now Death is a little uncertain.
She does not understand the authority of balance, so Death at this time also doubts Dr. Manhattan!
"After regaining humanity, I think I need to re-examine our cooperation."
Dr. Manhattan said calmly, without any emotion, as if the person who stopped Death from silencing him before was not him.
Or he didn't think that kind of approach was a problem at all.
He is always like this. After his divinity crushed his humanity, he almost lost all the emotions that belonged to human ears!
No emotion, no anger!
Even for "love", there is only "rational" thinking.
In the process of becoming a "god", humanity has become a consumable in him, which is worn out bit by bit!
There is no hormone in his body that can guide emotions. He is no longer a "human" who is a miracle of life under chance.
Only now! The authority of "balance" still allows him to regain this thing that should not be unfamiliar!
So, Dr. Manhattan began to think again, between "humanity" and "divinity"!
He is not wavering, but feeling the "balance" little by little!
"Why, as the incarnation of "God", your brain is broken by emotions? Or is it that your compassion as a human makes you think that I should not be so "cruel"?
Don't forget, I am death! Death itself is a gift and love for all life."
Death did not show any signs of anger when she spoke, and was as cold and calm as before. But her words lacked some persuasiveness.
Death is a little woman, she has a lot of thoughts. The good and evil of human nature are not unfamiliar to her like Dr. Manhattan.
But when Dr. Manhattan's eyes were on the scepter of the mad king in her hand, this lady who should be aloof became a little excited.
"Of course, death can also be a resentment towards life, or a punishment for all those who do not cherish life. All this is decided by me."
Death made additional explanations, and the hood on her head slowly slid down, blocking most of her face.
In the eye sockets of the skull image, two flames were burning!
Dr. Manhattan looked at Death, and it was difficult to distinguish the real emotions of Death. He was still getting familiar with the new feeling brought by "balance" bit by bit.
"Life and death are the choices of balance."
Dr. Manhattan's words at this time felt a bit like the vagueness of Israel, but fortunately Death could probably understand what this guy was saying.
Dr. Manhattan became a little bit weird, but his actions had already shown his position at the time!
"But 'life' or 'death' is my authority."
Death smiled, and her eyes looking at Dr. Manhattan were a little dangerous. But Dr. Manhattan looked calm as if he didn't care about it at all.
No one knows what Death is thinking in her heart.
Death itself is a being whose humanity overwhelms divinity! Even if she is an incarnation of rules, even if she considers herself noble.
But a being who makes choices because of emotions can no longer stand in the center impartially.
"You chose me, you chose balance, so the balance needs to be maintained, not for you to do irrational behavior."
Dr. Manhattan still spoke vaguely, but his firm attitude made Death want to laugh.
It is hard to say whether it is progress or regression for God to become a human.
But no matter what, it cannot change Dr. Manhattan's lack of fear for death!
Life has birth and death, and this balance will not be broken.
But how can balance die?
Death has almost no way to gain any advantage when facing all beings like her!
Because the rules themselves are immortal!
How can the rules die?
When facing life, Death is so powerful that even eternity and infinity cannot match her role, but facing non-living beings, Death is the weakest among these gods!
This is the reason why Death has the lowest combat power at the same level!
She can only harvest lives! Instead of mastering everything!
Combat experience and Death are always out of reach, because when she faces other incarnations of rules, the rules of life and death are completely useless!
Her greatest contribution in the previous war was to slaughter weak lives!
Death is a little anxious, anxious about "human" and "god".
The only thing she can be sure of is that being a "human" seems to be a good choice, at least Death has never intended to let herself return to that chaotic instinct!
While they were talking, Anderson and Johnny had already left the high-level heaven at a high speed, and were now heading towards the direction of the Holy Mountain of Harrogas!
