"Zi, Zi..."
Electric sparks were still coming from the broken cuts on the wall, and there were several damaged self-defense robots in the aisle illuminated by the light tubes.
Apart from the clear sound of hard boots on the steel grating floor, the air was eerily quiet.
Holding a temporarily modified large knife in his hand, part of the blue coolant still remained on it. When he came to a closed round door, he stopped.
There was a heavy and acid-cracking sound.
Holding the knife, he slammed it down again and again, creating small cracks in the thick door, and the special metal inside rolled out, making a harsh sound when it slashed across the blade.
The originally straight blade was also deformed and curled in the slashing, which made him stop and stroke the blade with his hand.
Where the fingers touched, the blade gradually turned red and softened, and then he slowly straightened it, and then slashed again and again.
In this way, after more than ten minutes, a hideous and torn gap appeared on the door in front of him, and there was also a faint breath of coldness inside.
Looking at the scenery behind the door that was about to be revealed, he stopped his movements, then he charged heavily and kicked out with a dull sound.
The gap on the door was torn and enlarged by an inch. Seeing that it was effective, he repeated it again, and after several times, he finally tore a gap for walking.
Looking at the lights that lit up one after another behind the door, and the weapons that were faintly visible from the corner of the eye, Xing couldn't help frowning, and then stopped temporarily.
With his strength, it is not difficult to defeat these self-discipline machines that have been covered in dust for thousands of years and most of them are broken, but according to previous experience, such a battle will cause great damage, and now his position is very close to the core area.
Let's just wait.
Thinking of this, he stepped back for the time being and found a place to do it.
When recovering his physical strength and magic power, he clicked on the communication device next to his ear.
"How are you doing over there?"
Then, a hoarse electric sound flashed, and then Mohu's distorted reply came.
"I've almost cracked it here, wait a little longer, how about you?"
"I've arrived at the outer gate of the core area, but there are many defensive units inside. It's hard to tell what the consequences will be if you start an attack, so I'm asking about your situation."
"Very good, it's rare for you to be so cautious and calm. Wait for a while, I found a lot of amazing information here, I will tell you later, hang up first." After that, the voice disappeared, leaving only a weak voice Current sound.
"What, such a surprise." Xing said to himself, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
This is the space inside the Throne of Gods. After approaching here a few months ago, their spaceship was shot down by the automatic defense system as soon as it approached. Maintenance, down, so survived the hail of bullets.
Later, the two wandered around the periphery looking for opportunities, and it took 3 months before Leilila relied on a small internal loophole and disguised herself as a small transport ship for transporting supplies to enter the interior of the Crown of Stars.
But after entering, the problem begins. Compared with other places, this place is too big. The facilities inside the entire throne are bigger than the entire continent. There are countless facilities all over it. If you can’t steal the internal information, you don’t even know where the core area is. Where, where can I really get in touch with the operation point of Star Crown.
Therefore, the two men split into two groups. Lei Lila connected to the internal system of the throne, looking for opportunities to gain authority, while Xing, according to the structure of the facility, headed towards the main trunk, looking for possible locations.
More than half a year has passed like this, and the two will occasionally contact each other to report each other's location and progress.
Time passed by, and after a few hours, there was another paging electric sound in Xing's ear.
"Where are you, I went there, and now I have cracked a basic identity authority."
"I'm in B2N47 area, you can find me here."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Then the voice hung up.
An hour later, a blond figure with golden wings flew at high speed, passing through the dark and long corridors, and finally arrived at the narrow entrance.
"Oh, this is it, it seems that you have done a good job." Lei Lila folded her wings, squatted down, and checked the scrapped machines at her feet. Although many of them were damaged, from the thick barrel, and In terms of strong construction materials, such spirit sub-sequence machines have combat power no less than that of Sequence 8, and there are quite a few of them.
"Inside is the core area." Xing stood up and pointed at the gap in the door with a knife.
"Yes and no." Lei Lila shook her head.
"This is just the outer ring of the core A3 area. There are three layers inside, and each layer is more heavily guarded. There is even a Sequence 9 spiritual sequence machine sleeping inside."
"If the situation is critical, these high-level mechanical life forms will even forcibly escape from the throne surrounded by important 'cornerstones', and then leave here."
"They have this strength, hundreds of Sequence 9 mechanical life, enough to open a big hole in the throne, and then leave here with an important 'cornerstone'."
"Hundreds? Are you sure?" Xing frowned.
Lei Lila turned her head, her golden brown eyes looked at the man full of scars and dust in front of her, she nodded slightly.
"That's right, in fact, this is the result of my conservative estimation. If it was the era when the Transcendent hadn't fallen, there should be two apostles of Sequence 10 guarding here. You have to understand the importance of this place as a crystallization of civilization. Human civilization at that time valued this place very much.”
"In fact, most of the defense forces are still distributed on the star nodes around the star crown. There are many star dragons sleeping in those blue suns. If they receive a signal, they will wake up."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, do you have any ideas?" Xing shook his head.
"I have obtained some permissions to disguise myself as an intern researcher who came to observe and study that year. Because such a researcher is not a formal member, there is no need to make in-depth records in the central document library. The inspection and review will be lighter, but the price is also the authority. It is very limited, and it can only ensure that it will not be actively attacked by the defense system, and it cannot go to some restricted areas."
"Isn't that useless?"
"No, no, it's still useful. The so-called system, there are always some tricks that can be bypassed and confuse the public. I just need a stepping stone."
"Now, let me show you the results first." After speaking, Lei Lila walked towards the front door.
She first stepped through the gap in the door, then stood where she was, allowing the scanners and monitoring devices to scan her body, and then a small light blue symbol appeared in front of her eyes, which seemed to have dense and complicated patterns inside.
Not long after, the mechanical lifeforms inside gradually stopped vigilance and returned to their positions. At this time, Lei Lila also turned around and waved to Xing.
In this way, after Lelila's dazzling operation, the two of them approached the most central core area step by step, and walked quietly in front of huge mechanical life, these mechanical life like Titans, like giant mountains , even if it was not awakened, the aura and magic power emanating from that body made the two of them amazed.
Although the two are also people with extraordinary strength, if they wake up these mechanical life forms at the same time, they may also flee in a hurry under the siege.
Finally, after a long period of fear, the two entered the deepest space.
The heavy door, which had been closed for thousands of years, was slowly opened, and the incomparably magnificent column inside appeared in front of my eyes.
In the transparent cylinder hundreds of meters away, countless tiny particles of light float and swim. They seem to have life, as agile as a school of fish, but upon closer inspection, they are not real life, but extremely special mana particles.
This kind of particle is more active and sensitive than any mana known in the past. When the two of them entered this space, they were frightened and fled in all directions. They ran around in the hundreds of meters wide cylinder, and some even disappeared. .
Even if the two of them stand still, just the observation of the line of sight can make these particles change. Some of them sublimate and dissipate, and some fission overflows, constantly changing.
"Even now, I still don't know what principles the transcendent relied on to build the third crown." Lelia looked at the scene in front of her and shook her head.
"The spinning thread of fate, the melody of cause and effect, can life really grasp it? Or, its real principle is not these, but just a time machine to pick out a certain parallel world in the future."
"Let's go." After a few words of emotion, Lei Lila stopped looking at the ethereal column that she couldn't understand.
"Don't look at it, this is not the core of the throne, it's just a part used to express the appearance."
"And what we're really looking for is the rarity sleeping in the 'cornerstone', our Highness the Princess."
"Princess?" Xing didn't understand why he would mention such an ancient title.
"Well, it's just a surrogate name, but she really deserves this title, as an ancient soul, the cornerstone of the Sun Throne, and one of the four primordial pure and changing winds, Lorraine Hill." Lei Lila read This top-secret name in the records.
Although everyone knows the Sun Crown of the Transcendent Era, the four cornerstones of the throne, that is, the names of the four originals have always been a secret, and few outsiders know it, because it involves how to build the crown and its weakness.
As the two walked, Lelila introduced how the "primordial heart" was defeated by the Mechanical Council, and how the Mechanical Council absorbed and implemented this plan.
…
"That is to say, back then our ancestors, the forerunners of human civilization, relied on the four special soul bodies produced by the first impact that year to build the first God's Throne plan, and then the Sun Crown was born."
"Yes, that's right, and because Lorraine Hill is the original wind, extremely adaptable and almost omnipotent, she was used as the carrier and cornerstone of the star crown."
"Because of this, she also survived the disaster that year." Lelia said the information she got from the documents, and walked towards the console under the column.
After inserting the identity card and carrying out the final authorized cracking, a small closed door was slowly opened in front of him, and then the doors were opened layer by layer, revealing a narrow and strong passage.
"This is the inside of the cornerstone, and the treasure we are looking for is hidden inside." Lei Lila walked in front with a low body, walked through a long passage, and finally came to a small space.
Diamond-shaped transparent spars are inlaid on the inner wall of the space, forming barriers to protect the sealed coffin-like cabin in the center.
The blade slashed at these transparent barriers, and instantly turned into green smoke and disappeared. At this time, there was no socket for identity verification to unlock.
"Heh, the transcendents are really thoughtful. There is no normal unlocking method here, and it can only be unlocked by violence, and violent unlocking will inevitably cause huge fluctuations in energy and magic power, which cannot be hidden at all." After checking it again, Lei Lila , shook his head.
"I'll look for it again. It really doesn't work. I can only take risks."
…
two weeks later.
"Or not."
Compared to the decent and calm Lelila a few days ago, she is now exhausted and discouraged, sitting slumped on the ground, looking at the solid barrier made of crystals in front of her.
"I feel that the arrival of four Sequence 10 apostles may not be able to break through these barriers in a short time, and can only be worn down slowly."
another month passed...
three months...
a year...
Finally, as the last spar slowly extinguished, the barrier in front of him disappeared.
"Tired..." Lei Lila leaned against the wall to pant, while Xing slowly cooled down his blood-red muscular body, and then slowly slid down against the wall.
"These spars, which are positioned by cosmic microwave radiation, are really stubborn. They refuse all kinds of space movement and block all matter and light inward. I really don't know where the transcendents at that time found them."
"Okay, now we should be able to meet the 'princess'."
"This kind of story about rescuing the princess from the dragon's lair cannot be complete without meeting the princess."
Lei Lila carefully approached the closed cabin in the center step by step. From the appearance, this dormant cabin is not gorgeous, and it can even be said to be too ordinary, making people wonder whether there is really a treasure hidden inside.
Press the button, the upper layer of the cabin slowly deflates, and then slowly opens upwards.
In the liquid that flickers on and off, a beautiful and dreamy body is slowly revealed.
First, the snow-white feet soaked in water, like a perfect and exquisite masterpiece, followed by white calves, snow-white skirt, slender waist, slightly undulating chest, a little silver hair falling from the shoulders, and the An astonishing appearance.
"So far, I still don't know why the transcendents made a realistic body for the primordial wind, but I swear, this is the most wise decision they made, so that we can live ten thousand years later. Wake up this miracle from its slumber with your own hands."
"The third crown, the crown of stars of destiny and miracles, and Lorraine Hill as the carrier, our hope and last angel, I will entrust you from now on."
"Forgive us sinners, the sinners who brought down the innocent angel from the throne."
Opening the hatch, the floating brilliance liquid flowed out, and Lei Lila slowly picked up the silver-haired angel.
She gently stroked the cheek of the girl in her arms with her hand, and before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face.
Xing Tian watched quietly from the side, his eyes gradually blurred, as if he wanted to tell this sleeping girl a lot, but he was afraid of frightening this pure and weak life.
Our will, our hope for the future...
The two hugged the sleeping silver-haired girl, and slowly walked out from the underground cornerstone.
In bursts of explosions and fierce battles, they faced the pursuing high-level mechanical life and fought and retreated until they reached the scheduled departure point.
Xing Tian was still resisting the chasing mechanical life, while Lei Lila slowly put the silver-haired girl in her arms into the pre-prepared solo spaceship.
The dark gold glass cover was slowly pulled up, and the built-in sacred crystals also slowly lit up, raising a special barrier to cover and protect the girl's aura inside.
Peng! A violent explosion exploded at the entrance of the passage. Relying on the shock wave, Xing Tian avoided the battle for a short time and came to Lei Lila's side.
"Just let her return to Earth alone?"
"Well, the remaining holy objects are only enough to protect and cover her alone." Lei Lila said.
"I don't mean this, I mean, how do you ensure that there will be no accidents in the middle, you must know that she is as fragile as a mortal right now, even the smallest crisis will cause her to perish in deep space, and tens of thousands of years of travel , enough to amplify any small probability event.”
"I can't guarantee that even if we sail into the star sea, we can't guarantee that there will be no accidents." Lei Lila shook her head.
"Then you pay it back!" Xing wanted to grab the aircraft that was about to set sail.
"It's okay." Lei Lila stopped Xing Tian.
"She'll be fine."
"I don't know how to explain it to you."
"She is a born pure angel, the holder of the authority of the gods, the carrier of the crown of stars, believe me, believe in the wisdom of the transcendents, even if she is still sleeping, with the protection of the crown of stars, she can still survive in countless turbulent waves." Avoid the dangers of fate and reach the far shore safely."
"You have to know that she is one of the four primordials, a young god, the archetype of an angel, and she will not fall into the sea of stars so easily."
"How to guide her in the future, I have also prepared a system, and will slowly guide her to gradually come into contact with the truth of history."
"As for the name, I've also thought about it, let's call it Falling Star."
"The falling star of the dawn, the returning son of the white robe, the promised final miracle."
Lei Lila looked at the small spaceship floating into the deep space, the brilliance in her eyes slowly flowed, and she whispered in her mouth, as if she was saying goodbye, and also seemed to be saying her last wish.
