Chapter 416 Battle Losses
Chapter 416 Battle Losses
At this moment, Meros and Earl stood face to face in front of Philip, creating a clear two-on-one standoff between the three of them.
However, if you look at their previous fight, you'll find that Meros actually had the upper hand throughout the entire conflict.
If it weren't for the strange baby that suddenly appeared and interrupted the battle, Fibo would probably have been pinned to the ground by Meros, completely powerless to fight back.
This can be clearly seen from the current state of Philippine Airlines.
His once neat clothes were now torn into countless pieces, as if he had been through a fierce battle.
Especially noticeable are the two large gashes on his chest and abdomen.
Through these cracks, one could clearly see the dense wounds on his body, the two most serious of which were on his chest and abdomen. Those two deep wounds looked as if they were about to cut his body in half.
If Philip hadn't been of a different race, this single wound would likely have been enough to kill him.
However, even so, his injuries were by no means minor, and his clothes were tattered from the tears, hanging on his body like scraps of cloth.
This image completely destroyed his original elegant demeanor, making him look more like a down-on-his-luck beggar.
His thin body was soaked in blood, as if he were completely immersed in a pool of blood, but a creepy smile hung on his face.
"Tsk, finally it hatched successfully. I thought it would fail."
"Philips murmured softly, his words tinged with joy."
He slowly cradled the thing that had hatched from the strange baby in his palm; it was a perfect sphere, radiating a holy white light.
The light was so dazzling that just one glance would make an ordinary person want to bow down and worship.
However, who would have thought that something that seemed so holy and suitable for proselytizing would have hatched from that strange baby?
"Boss, should we stop him?"
Earl stood beside Meros and asked with a simple and honest expression.
Meros shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"It can't be stopped. After it hatches, it will actually seek out the person who initially gave it hope."
"It's its instinct, and we can't stop it."
Meros explained.
"This thing is actually this intelligent?!"
Earl stared in astonishment at Philip's swollen body, then pointed at him incredulously, his voice trembling slightly as he asked.
Meros, standing to the side, was also staring at Philip, but his gaze was different from Earl's.
Earl's attention was completely drawn to Fibonacci's ever-growing body, while Meros focused more on the orb of light on Fibonacci's chest.
"Yes, that's true. We've conducted related experiments before."
Meros responded expressionlessly, his eyes never leaving the sphere of light.
Earl's gaze gradually fell on the sphere of light as he listened to Meros's words.
He then noticed that the ball of light did not disappear quickly after adding energy to Philip, as he had originally imagined.
On the contrary, it seems to be continuously supplying some kind of power to Fei Bo, causing Fei Bo's body to continue to expand.
"Shouldn't that ball of light have disappeared automatically after I gave it more energy? Why is it still there?"
Earl frowned and asked in confusion.
Meros's brow remained furrowed as he stared intently at the orb of light, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.
"If it only increases energy, then it's really not a big deal. We don't need to ask you and Li Si to stop it."
"But in reality, the true purpose of this orb of light is not so simple. Its real goal is to break the seal and forcibly break through to the next level."
"Meros said slowly, his tone revealing a hint of solemnity."
Upon hearing this, Earl's expression grew even more serious.
He stared at the ball of light, watching it gradually merge into Fei Bo's body, as if he could feel a powerful force surging within Fei Bo.
"Huh?! Then..."
Earl stared in astonishment at the ball of light, then turned his gaze to Meros, his face showing disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
"Never mind, I'll give it a try!"
Earl's body reacted faster than his brain. Even though Meros said it was useless to stop him now, he still acted faster than his brain could react.
Earl let out a low sound from his throat, as if he was preparing something.
Then, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a powerful force gushed out from it.
That was no ordinary thing; it was an attack as hot as magma.
The attack, like a volcanic eruption, swept straight toward Fei Bo, who was merging with the sphere of light, carrying billowing heat and intense aura.
However, it is obvious that all efforts will be in vain.
That incredibly powerful attack, less than a meter away from Fei Bo, was as if it were being forcefully stopped by an invisible force, unable to advance even an inch further.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a completely transparent protective shield had appeared in front of Fei Bo at some point.
This protective shield had no color whatsoever, as if it didn't exist at all, yet it was indestructible, firmly blocking the terrifying attack from the outside.
This powerful attack failed to even cause a ripple on the seemingly fragile protective shield, as if it had sunk into the sea without any effect.
"This is so annoying!"
Earl watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation.
Although he had expected this outcome, he was still incredibly annoyed when he actually faced it.
"Who designed this ability? Every time they unleash their ultimate move in a fight, I can only stand by like an idiot and watch, unable to do anything!"
Earl's complaints echoed in the air, but Meros merely glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if amused, and uttered a single word: "double standards."
"(⊙o⊙)..., hehehe, um, cough cough cough, well, the weather is pretty nice today."
Earl's voice sounded slightly awkward; he was clearly uncomfortable with the word Meros had just used.
His gaze darted around, as if he dared not look directly into Meros's eyes.
Earl's body was large and hairy, and when he sat down, he looked like a small hill.
He kept his head down, and his dejected appearance evoked pity in people.
However, Meros remained indifferent to all of this, his tone still cold.
"Alright, stop pretending, get ready, he's coming out."
Meros's voice was calm and firm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. He merely glanced at Earl, seemingly completely unmoved by Earl's pitiful state.
