Chapter 107 Nausicaä, Asbel

"Valkyrie!!"

Finally seeing the girl clearly, the boy couldn't help but sigh. Valhalla means God. It seems that no matter how the world develops, some kind of religious belief will always emerge from the human consciousness.

Long ago, people believed in nature. Mountains and rivers were considered gods, and sacrifices were offered to everything in heaven and on earth. This was certainly a form of superstition, but it was also a manifestation of reverence for nature.

As civilization developed, humans began to try to control the forces of nature, naming these gods such as Zhurong, the god of fire, and Gonggong, the god of water, because they needed these "gods" to control factors that they could not control themselves and were worshipped.

It started as one god, but it was discovered that these gods were sometimes ineffective, or rather, that they needed to be controlled, so the gods became a group. This is the folly of the so-called divine right of kings; divine power is actually determined by humans.

Unfortunately, as humanity continues to progress, these ethereal gods have been swept into the dustbin of history, because humans have tried to stop “relying” on gods to control nature, or rather, when humans can control these things, they no longer need gods and must eliminate them!

God was born from the sea of ​​human desires, and perished in the sea of ​​desires!

Unfortunately, no matter how things develop, humanity is ultimately arrogant yet insignificant. When things are beyond their control, they will still pray for the arrival of God.

Ancient humans and modern humans seem to be constantly changing, yet they also seem to have remained unchanged!

Valkyries are not benevolent deities; they are Norse gods who guide the souls of the dead to Valhalla. They appear in many films and television shows, or in various forms. For example, the white-clad woman in the game World of Warcraft is named a Valkyrie.

Upon regaining consciousness, Asbel immediately hugged Nausicaä tightly, as the danger was not yet over.

"How to do?"

"The airship can't support the weight of two people, but I have an insect whistle in my pocket!"

Upon seeing this, Asbel immediately reached out and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Who are you? How come you still have the secret stone?"

But he only asked one question, because the flying insects had already caught up. Asbel immediately took out his gun to fight back, but before he could fire, Nausicaä kicked the gun away from his hand.

She then maneuvered the glider, performing a thrilling 180-degree spin, leaving Asbel behind with no choice but to cling to her. Nausicaä, however, was not favored by the wind goddess and instantly shook off the massive bull.

"We can't just run away!! Why aren't you firing?"

Nausicaä pushed him from behind to the front, and the two of them sat side by side, which immediately balanced the glider.

"You've killed far too many people! Look up there!!"

Asber looked up at the sky, where the dense winged insects had long since blocked out the sunlight; under such circumstances, the flashbangs were completely ineffective.

Nausicaä quickly pulled out her insect flute and pressed it down on Asbel's head, saying:

"Take it!!"

At this crucial moment, Asbel looked at Nausicaä, who blushed immediately. Only after Nausicaä spoke again did the boy pick up the insect flute and start swinging it.

Well, it's often said that women admire strength, but actually, men admire strength even more, though not in the sense of being domineering! Most films and television shows only depict men as weak and vulnerable.

This is a very real problem. Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber is like this. He would go to great lengths to please women or maids of a certain status, and he would seize anything he could control without hesitation.

Let's not even talk about the explicit stuff; you have to admit, the old man really knows how to play the game! These days, the internet is flooded with domineering CEO novels, but decades ago, he was already going against the grain. Female domineering CEO novels!

Shhhhhhhh...

The insect flute had no effect, and seeing this, Nausicaä could only make a quick decision:

“Hold on tight!!”

As the engine trailed a beam of light from the back of the aircraft, Nausicaä piloted it toward the forest, the insects still relentlessly pursuing her.

Fortunately, Nausicaä was more skilled; she flipped sideways and passed through the trees, while the giant dragonfly behind her didn't have time to turn around and crashed directly into a tree.

Nausicaä darted through the forest with the ease of a swift in a storm, quickly leaving the rest of the group behind.

Just when the two thought they were saved, a gigantic queen insect blocked their way, its massive body crushing the nearby trees. At that moment, all of the queen insect's eyes were bloodshot.

Nausicaä immediately pulled the aircraft back, realizing that a direct confrontation with the Ohmu was unwise. However, Asbel was also startled by the enormous Ohmu! As a result, Nausicaä suddenly slammed on the brakes, and in the ensuing panic, Asbel was thrown off balance.

"Oh no!! This is terrible!!"

Sure enough, each of the kings had a bot next to it. Asbel immediately landed on the back of the King Mushroom. Not to mention Asbel, even the King Mushroom was stunned!

Liu Yufei had previously instructed them not to harm Asbel, and the Ohmu said it understood, but it never expected that it would encounter someone even better at acting than itself!

This isn't acting anymore; you're going too far by giving it away directly!

Just as Asbel was in despair, a sudden, rapid explosion came from the sky. Nausicaä did not flee, but turned back.

"Fool, why did you come back? Run away!!"

Joking aside, Asbel still showed some responsibility, immediately drawing his long sword from his waist. A giant centipede shot into the sky, its mandibles snapping at Nausicaä. Fortunately, Nausicaä was agile and managed to shift her weight, narrowly dodging the attack. However, the giant centipede was simply too large, and even with her timely dodge, Nausicaä's right wing was still torn apart.

Nausicaä was suddenly flung away by the out-of-control aircraft, and the winged insects immediately swarmed around her, huddling her together in a ball.

"I'll kill you, you monster!!"

The reason why the Ohmu is called the Ohmu is because it has the ability to command other insects. Seeing Nausicaä sacrifice herself for him, Asbel was furious and immediately drew his sword to stab the Ohmu's carapace.

It was just the sound of metal clashing; it didn't break through the defenses.

"You...bastard..."

Asbel, who was cursing angrily, suddenly paused for a moment, because the winged insect that had been binding Nausicaä in the air suddenly retreated, while the Ohmu beneath his feet slowly extended its tentacles to catch Nausicaä.

The tentacles of the Ohmu extended from its mouth, and Asbel immediately thought that the Ohmu was going to eat Nausicaä, so he grabbed his longsword and started slashing at it, trying to rescue Nausicaä.

The Ohmu's tentacles instantly sent Asbel flying (Kid, I've been putting up with you for too long!). Then, the Ohmu gently placed Nausicaä on the ground! (Sure, the treatment is different!)

"How are you? Cheer up..."

Asbel, unaware of all this, rushed forward and urgently called out to Nausicaä. Nausicaä's protective shield had just fallen off, so Asbel immediately took off his own mask and put it on Nausicaä's face.

"She's not dead!!"

"Who? It's you!!"

Asbel stared in astonishment at the enormous creature before him. Now he knew that this creature had come to rescue Nausicaä, but Ohmu rarely communicated with humans, so for thousands of years, everyone had assumed that Ohmu could not speak!

Although they do not have a language system, thousands of years of evolution have enabled these insectoids to communicate with humans in a special way.

"The girl told me not to kill you, so I won't kill you. Go away!!"

Asber was even more bewildered. What was this thing in front of him? A King Mushroom! If the King Mushroom was so easy to talk to, would so many countries have died in the swarm? Asber then looked at Nausicaä, who was still unconscious.

Although there were many things he didn't understand, Asbel knew that now was not the time to dwell on them, so he immediately picked up Nausicaä.

At this moment, although Nausicaä was unconscious, a huge figure appeared in her mind. It was another Ohmu, but it was obviously not the one in her dream, and she could not be sure if she was dreaming.

"You're awake!!"

"Wang...Chong! You know me?"

“Our race has known you for a long time! We Zerg are individuals who are the group, and the group who are individuals. Our will transcends matter and is transmitted, but not all humans can communicate with us.”

Nausicaä immediately understood that she was the special one, and this was her innate ability.

"Alright, let's get out of here! This forest doesn't need us anymore. The forest to the south is crying for help, we must hurry... Goodbye!!"

Perhaps only when facing Nausicaä would the Ohmu be so polite! As the Ohmu severed its mental connection, its enormous body slowly moved away into the distance, and the flying insects that had been blocking the way outside scattered in all directions!

Still shaken, Asbel collapsed to the ground, then felt a dull pain in his lungs as the air of the Corrupted Sea corroded them.

"No, I can't die here!!"

Asbel, unaware that the flying insects outside had retreated, found the wreckage of the aircraft and immediately carried Nausicaä over. Just then, a little creature emerged from Nausicaä's chest, tilting its head curiously as it looked at Asbel.

Although Asbel was curious, his priority was to escape. However, before he had taken more than a few steps, the ground suddenly collapsed, and the two of them fell down instantly.

Asbel instinctively tried to grab the tree trunk, but as the gap opened, the already hollow ground collapsed rapidly, instantly creating a sinkhole!

"what..."

----

"Ah...Brother!!"

Lasdale woke up from her dream, and Sivir, holding a towel, smiled and said:

Are you alright?!

"Sivir, my brother, why?"

"This nanny-like robot's primary task is to protect your safety. Don't worry, your brother will be fine!"

Saying this, Sivir nonchalantly tucked the towel into the storage device in her chest pocket.

"No, how can you guarantee my brother's safety?!"

"Lasdale, don't say such things in front of the young master. If he says your brother is safe, then he is absolutely safe!"

Sivir's expression wasn't very serious, but she didn't smile either.
