Chapter 209: beyond the fringes of mortal civilization

Views:

The stars have returned to their positions, and the stars have left their positions. The stars are revolving leisurely in the sky. They shine coldly on this world, completely unaware that there was once a large group of mortals who were busy on all fours under their guidance, and finally got nothing.

The ancient gods did not return, nor did the prophesied day of judgment come, although everything that happened before that perfectly confirmed those prophecies, such as the monstrous waves in the endless sea, such as the release of "Au" under the influence of stars. The special energy fluctuations that came out, such as the frequent whispers of the gods, but apart from that, the crucial last step, the step of the Storm Lord waking up from the deep sea, did not happen.

The Lord of Storms is the only god remaining in this world. If he fails to wake up, then the Day of Judgment will be out of the question.

Everything seemed to be a joke, but the "culprits" who caused this embarrassing situation, the "God Eaters" in the deep sea, knew nothing about it.

In the depths of the endless sea that has been blocked by storms all year round, the ancient Siren City "Antaveen" stands quietly at the place where it made a forced landing. It is slightly inclined and embedded on a rocky seabed close to the land. One part reaches the "big trench", while the other part gradually rises along the seabed until about one-tenth of it sticks out of the sea and rests on the edge of the land called "Io Continent" by the sea monsters. And form a spectacular steel city wall on the coastline.

The sea monsters are indeed used to living in the deep sea, but on this planet with a large landmass, they have gradually learned how to survive on land. Of course they will not build large-scale cities on land like humans, but in order to To mine resources and monitor the situation of the "jumping engine", they built a series of outposts and strongholds on the west coastline of the Io continent, and the largest stronghold is the "Cape of Primorye", which is located directly opposite the "steel city wall". From the watchtower of this stronghold, you can directly overlook two-thirds of the entire "steel city wall", which is an important monitoring post here.

The "steel city wall" is actually Antaveen's stern wall. In the earth-shattering forced landing countless years ago, Antaveen plummeted from the atmosphere, and the technicians tried their best to make almost all power The lost starship slightly adjusted its falling posture, and finally the ship passed the edge of the land at a dangerous angle, directly sending about a quarter of the continent into the deep sea, while the starship itself After being severely damaged, it slid into the sea along the continental shelf, and finally formed the current situation where one end is close to the trench and the other end is on the edge of the continent.

The structure of the bow was almost completely destroyed in this process, but the stern was preserved intact. This is the greatest luck. At least the jump engine with the most complicated structure and the most difficult to repair was preserved.

But the Krakens soon discovered that even if the engine was in good condition, they couldn't get the spaceship back into the air, not to mention the launch, and even the most common machinery and equipment on the spaceship became unable to function after the disaster. It took a long time after that before they realized that this was a "fault" caused by different laws of physics.

Since that day, the sea monsters have been working hard to learn and adapt to the rules of this world. They seem to have returned to the first moment when the lights of civilization were lit, and they have to adjust their life forms to adapt to this world. But soon they discovered that this This kind of "start over" needs more than one time.

The world is constantly shuffling...

But it doesn't matter, the development of civilization cannot be smooth sailing, and the Krakens have become accustomed to this difficult situation in development.

The Siren Queen Petiya arrived at the "Cape of Marina". She stood on a high watchtower, looking at the steel city wall on the coastline, and the energy pipelines on the steel city wall are lighting up one by one. The core fusion tower has started to activate. up.

Taking advantage of this "explosive increase" of squids, the Krakens collected enough engine fuel in advance, and the re-ignition of the core engine was carried out smoothly, but the technicians did not have much hope for this ignition, because they still Several key issues in the magic power conversion process have not been resolved, but Perthia doesn't care about these.

Ignition failure is no longer one or two times. All sea monsters are used to it, but Petiya knows very well that even if ignition fails, technicians can collect valuable technical information from this process. These experiences and conclusions based on experience The laws of nature are the most precious wealth.

Sea monsters are not a very intelligent species, and they can even be called "sluggish" at certain times, but patience and optimism are their greatest reliance.

While the core fusion tower was activated, a siren attendant entered the top floor of the watchtower, her snake tail snaked and crawled, and she gracefully came behind the queen: "Your Majesty, just now General Vanessa reported that there is a The tide master named Tyr is gone."

"Tyr?" Petya, the Siren Queen, frowned, "I seem to have a little impression..."

"It's the kid who walks in a weird way..." replied the squire, "the one who walks like a sea caterpillar."

"Oh, then I remembered, she is always lazy," Petya turned her head with a look of surprise on her face, "Didn't she sleep at home?"

"No, she's missing," the attendant said seriously. "She hasn't appeared since the last fight with those crazy humans."

Petiya shook her head: "Maybe I died, and then I chose the wrong coordinates when I was resurrected. The last time the battle was very chaotic, a few sisters who died in battle even resurrected in the Southern Ocean, and came back after swimming for more than a month... "

The attendant sighed: "Even if she swims back from the Southern Ocean, she should be here, unless she used that strange walking posture to 'arch' all the way back on the seabed, then she should be still halfway."

"Send a search team to search around the last battlefield, and send some people to check out the strongholds of crazy humans on the edge of the sea to see if our tide master was accidentally caught by those humans... Although This possibility is not high, but if it is Tyre, it is really impossible to say."

The attendant bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Petiya nodded, and after the attendant retreated, she turned around again, and her eyes fell on the winding steel on the coastline in the distance.

At the same time, in the hidden sanctuary of the Order of the Eternal Sleepers in the Typhon Empire, the nightmare bishops in black or white robes were gathering in the central hall, and a low and solemn atmosphere lingered on everyone.

"The Sons of the Storm and the Doom Society have sent their own messages. Our allies have all suffered losses to varying degrees due to the early launch of the 'Ultimate Plan'," a Nightmare Bishop said, his voice sounding low and cold, "Quite In comparison, our losses are minimal."

Another bishop added: "In addition, information came from the observation base set up by the Son of the Storm at sea. They observed an unexplainable phenomenon. The tide has risen, and the power of the gods has begun to surge in the deep sea, but soon everything It calmed down uncharacteristically."

"That's why we can't blindly deny the 'prophecy'," the third bishop said, "All the signs are in line with the first half of the prophecy, but there is a slight deviation in the final result, which may be the interference of some unknown force. The fulfillment of the prophecy..."

The voice of the first bishop was clearly mocking: "Who can interfere with the recovery and return of the gods?"

"The sea area where the son of the storm observed the vision is located in the extreme east sea," the second bishop said immediately, "it's close to the Kraken's territory."

"The sea monster... those ghosts in the deep sea..." A black-robed bishop who hadn't said anything suddenly broke the silence, "It is said that they destroyed a pioneering place of the Son of the Storm last time..."

"In my opinion, the Son of the Storm is not trustworthy at all," someone said again, "Maybe it's their observation of the starry sky that caused us to encounter this setback..."

Before the bishop finished speaking, a low, gentle but irresistible voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Enough."

The bishops immediately shut their mouths in awe. They turned to a certain direction and bowed their heads respectfully: "Your Majesty the Pope."

A vague black figure appeared out of thin air at the end of the hall. This vague figure seemed to scan the people on the scene. Sweeping over his body and mind, everyone became more and more awed.

And this vague black shadow said lightly: "Don't forget that our career is in front of our career, this is not a setback at all.

"Every one of us has expected this. Although the prophecy exists, it is not the only one that guides us. It is just a factor, and whether it will be realized or not, it will not affect our plan.

"Starting the eternal dream in advance is just an insurance measure to prevent the response from being too late, and we have not gained nothing in the process."

The Eternal Sleeping Pope paused deliberately, and then continued: "The first run of the Eternal Dreamland produced a large amount of measured data, which will help us to finally perfect this huge plan, and I, in the process of observing the Eternal Dreamland Discovered its potential and uses far beyond our imagination."

The bishops were slightly agitated, and they looked at each other, obviously curious about what the Pope had said.

But the Pope didn't make the bishops wait too long. He quickly announced his decision, which surprised everyone: "Take a rest for three days. After three days, the eternal dream will restart."

There was a low voice of discussion at the scene, and a bishop immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, the eternal dream still has many imperfections..."

"It can only be better perfected... and evolved when it is in a running state," the Pope of Eternal Sleep interrupted the bishop. "After careful observation, I discovered this, and I also discovered another thing..."

The bishops fell silent immediately, and they heard the pope's voice:

"I found that the huge computing power brought by the eternal dream is the key to deciphering Gawain Cecil's memory fragments. During the last run of the eternal dream, those memory fragments showed signs of loosening, and they seemed to be able to resolved.

"Nightmare bishops, get back together. We still have a lot to do to gather your subordinate nodes and prepare to analyze Gawain Cecil's memory fragments. We must find out what he is!"
