next second.
Portio's index finger rapidly pulled the trigger, and after each pull, he precisely returned the hammer of the revolver to the ready-to-fire position with his left hand.
"Bang bang bang-"
The revolver's muzzle flared, and six bullets whistled out of the hole, leaving six spiraling trails of flame in the air as they flew straight toward the large head of the God of the Sun.
Hearing the whistling sound of bullets tearing through the air, God Sunday turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze to Potio.
Just as the six bullets were about to hit God, a golden barrier, like an eggshell, suddenly materialized before Him.
The bullet struck the barrier with a series of crisp "clanging" sounds, unable to advance any further, and finally fell helplessly to the ground.
"Haha, right, look over here!"
Seeing that his attack had failed, Potio was not discouraged. Instead, he grinned and revealed a sly smile.
The revolver, still emitting smoke from its muzzle, spun around under the control of his index finger.
Then, Potio pushed open the magazine well with his thumb, emptied all the spent cartridges, and quickly pulled out a new magazine from the waistband and pressed it into the well.
Lin Qiong, who witnessed this scene from the side, was filled with doubt.
He couldn't understand why Potio would pull the trigger without warning, and he couldn't comprehend how Potio could still laugh when the attack had no effect.
Potio's strange behavior was truly baffling to Lin Qiong.
But just then...
While gazing at Potio's holy day, he voiced the question that had been nagging at Lin Qiong:
"Sea Patrol Ranger, I think you should understand that firearms pose no threat to the 'Sound of the Choir,' even with the power of destiny within you."
"I never thought I could fall head over heels for you with one shot, but of course, if such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity were to come, I certainly wouldn't let it slip by."
Potio shook his head, helplessly spreading his hands, his gaze toward God Sunday tinged with a hint of mockery.
He abruptly changed the subject and continued:
"Don't blame me for not warning you, hurry up and move your eyes up to your head. The view up there is more amazing than any bullet I've ever fired."
Upon hearing this, not only Shen Zhu Ri, but also Lin Qiong's group, all raised their heads in unison.
The crowd's gaze pierced through the dilapidated, cracked dome of the grand theater, looking up at the pitch-black night sky.
The night sky was torn apart by countless strange lights, which streaked across the boundless night like dazzling meteors, leaving long trails behind.
It was a meteor shower scattered throughout the Milky Way, following the firelight of the "Hunter" gathering, formed by tens of thousands of Sea Rangers crossing the sea of stars and leaping to the Asdna system.
Lin Qiong stared in astonishment at the dreamlike scene, his eyes reflecting the shooting stars streaking overhead.
This feeling is a million times more shocking than watching it on a screen.
No matter how dazzling the images on the screen are, they are still separated by a cold electronic screen.
At this moment, Lin Qiong was truly standing under this starry sky, experiencing the visual impact brought by the gathering of the sea patrol warriors.
"Holy crap...this is absolutely awesome."
He pondered for a while, racking his brains but unable to come up with a suitable word to describe the scene before him, finally only able to helplessly utter the exclamation "Holy crap!"
at the same time.
"How...how is this possible...!?" The God Lord exclaimed in disbelief.
Upon seeing this shocking scene above, a barely concealed emotion finally surfaced in his usually calm tone.
The Lord of the Church abruptly turned his gaze back to Potio and questioned him:
What did you do?
"Oh, this is exactly what I wanted to see. You know, right now you look just like those little cuties who used to tremble with fear when I held a gun to their heads."
Portio crossed his arms, a smug smile on his face, his eyes full of provocation.
"Since you know about us Sea Patrol Rangers, you must have heard of the 'Hunting Stars,' right? Every Sea Patrol Ranger who achieves great feats receives a burial item that can transcend time and space."
Potio paused for a moment, then continued explaining:
"When this burial item is fired by another Sea Ranger, it means that injustice still exists there. At that time, all the Sea Rangers will come from all corners of the galaxy, regardless of the reason or the cost, just to bring justice to the world."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong suddenly remembered that the bullet that Tirnan was buried with was fired by Potio himself.
This bullet has a similar effect to the Alliance Jade Sign given by the Immortal Boat; both are incredibly powerful items.
The most powerful aspect of these two props is that they can transcend time and space, trace the cause back to the effect, and allow the result to appear beforehand.
In other words, whether it was the Jade Oath Alliance or the bullet, the Immortal Ship Alliance or the Sea Patrol Rangers were already on their way before they were even ready to use them.
The moment the jade tablet is crushed or the bullet is fired, the Immortal Boat Alliance or the Sea Patrol Rangers will have already arrived at the scene.
In short: shoot the arrow first, draw the target, and then make the arrow "just right" land on the bullseye.
“Ha, I have fired this first shot of great significance.” Potio turned to look at Huang Quan. “Commander, it’s up to you now.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan nodded slightly, took a long sword in his hand, and slowly walked out from the crowd, standing before the God of the Day.
"Then the second step... I will be the one to wake people who are still lost in their dreams."
As he finished speaking, Huang Quan raised the long sword in his hand above his head, then gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand and slowly drew the blade from its sheath.
In an instant, blood-red lightning surged on the blade and burst forth in all directions, the intense light illuminating Huang Quan's face in a flickering light.
Suddenly, red lightning flashed across the sky, like ribbons, winding through the dark night.
With a clap of thunder, a faint white tinge appeared at the ends of Huang Quan's flowing purple hair. This white tinge then spread upwards along the strands of hair, gradually turning the entire head of hair white.
At the same time, a single tear of bright red blood rolled down her cheek, leaving a noticeable red mark...
When Huang Quan drew the crimson longsword, stained with "nothingness," from its sheath, the surrounding colors were instantly enveloped in black and white, and the entire world lost all color.
In an instant.
Lin Qiong felt the scene before him flash by, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black hole and a vast black and white ocean simultaneously came into view.
Before Lin Qiong could even be shocked, Huang Quan's soft whispers had already reached his ears.
"A fading dream, severed by a single stroke..."
