The heavy and ancient metal gate was slowly pushed open, and the loud bang when the gate moved seemed to come from the ancient abyss of time and space. When the gate opened, the scene in the ceremony hall fell into Hao Ren's eyes.
There are no hideous and terrifying "monsters" in it, and there are no dozen or so saints attacking madly, but the things in the hall are more dangerous than all of them—
A huge rune array is still running in the ceremony hall, countless shiny mysterious symbols are slowly moving on the ground and mid-air, and the huge energy filled in it is about to explode at any time, and the energy in the rune array At the focal point, a pitch-black sharp sword is floating in the air. Its material is as dark and deep as the universe itself, and the sword body is "inlaid" with bright light spots like stars.
The black sword is suspended weightlessly under the support of the rune circle, like a crack leading to the depths of the universe, and a few meters above the sword, a huge group of dark energy is developing and growing, It is as black as ink, and its shape is like a black water mass with countless ripples on its surface. Its size is already more than ten meters wide, and it is still growing. This liquid-like thing is constantly twisting, surging and changing its shape. When it is surging, it looks like a heart. Something terrifying is about to burst out of this heart. It is pulsating powerfully—puff, puff...
"...terminal, call the battleship, we may need some technical support."
"Nolan has been wired and is transferring her to this space through hyperspace displacement, but this may cause Corpus' instability..."
"The most unstable thing in the world is already in front of us - let her enter immediately!"
"Time and space are being replaced, and the battleship will enter the arena in five minutes," bursts of blue light glowed on the surface of the data terminal, and various symbols and lines slid quickly on its casing, "but the main gun of the battleship can't solve this kind of problem. An attack could cause the balance to collapse, and the energy in this hall will be unleashed."
"But we need at least the strength of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace. Whether it's the battleship shield or the destructive weapons, they are stronger than what we have," Hao Ren said quickly, while he was speaking. The magic reaction in the ceremony hall was still going on, and a feeling like a slight needle prick spread from everyone's skin. Hao Ren found tiny sparks jumping between his fine hairs. At the same time, he also began to hear some messy noises, which seemed to be directly in his brain. Even if he covered his ears, it would have no effect, "Everything Put on a life support collar! Electromagnetic barriers and radiation barriers can alleviate the impact of the energy field!"
Everyone at the scene immediately put on the life-support collars that they carried with them—after running around with Hao Ren many times to challenge various extreme environments, this kind of collars has become something that everyone in the family carries every day. And Hao Ren took out a few spare collars from the portable space, and fastened them around the necks of Claude, Bai Huo and Tutan.
These life-support collars are not, in themselves, dedicated devices for blocking mental disturbances. But their protective function against the strong electromagnetic and strong radiation environment in the universe itself has a certain effect of spiritual barrier, and the energy entrenched in the hall is not a real spiritual attack, it is just a powerful energy field, which can just affect the range of action Mental effects on those inside. Therefore, after the activation of the life-support collar, everyone's condition was immediately relieved, and the visual and auditory hallucinations quickly faded away.
Bai Huo subconsciously touched the collar that was suddenly snapped on her neck. She didn't have time to ask what it was, but she knew that this metal hoop helped her block the frightening atmosphere in the hall. She looked at the black long sword floating not far away in shock: "What the hell is that!?"
"Weapon, the worst weapon in this universe. The most troublesome weapon!" Hao Ren said quickly while letting the data terminal check the surrounding energy readings, "I originally hoped to recover this terrible thing in a more stable situation, but Your sages not only activated it. They extracted energy from it! They have no idea what they're extracting!"
"Crackling..."
There was a disturbing crackling sound from the black energy cluster floating above the long sword, and a purple-black electric light leaked from the energy cluster. Bounced around in the air, and all the metal products in the hall suddenly broke free from the shackles of gravity, slowly floated into the air, and drifted towards the mass of energy under the pull of some invisible force. Ritual objects of metal, enchanted swords, silver vessels, and candlesticks, all these things were floating up and crumbled in mid-air, to be mercilessly swallowed by the energy-even though these ritual objects may have been infinitely powerful. Even though those enchanted swords may have severely injured "gods" as powerful as Odin and Zeus in the twilight of the gods thousands of years ago, in front of that powerful energy. They're all as fragile as sand!
And between the mass of black energy and the God-killing long sword, strands of shadow lines are already visible to the naked eye.
"Its reaction speed has been accelerated!" the data terminal yelled. "This machine detected a catalytic reaction... Something here is catalyzing the entire charging process! It must be something we just brought in!"
"Something is stimulating that sword?" Hao Ren was taken aback, "Find the source quickly!"
The data terminal quickly processed all the data it could collect, and countless dazzling data and symbols refreshed and wandered around it. Finally, it suddenly rushed in front of Vivienne: "Vivienne is the catalyst!"
All eyes immediately focused on Vivienne, who was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "The mission of this sword is to kill gods..."
Before she finished speaking, she had already disintegrated into a large mass of little bats, rushing out of the hall like a whirlwind.
And Hao Ren immediately looked at his right hand: "Will the divine blood on my body have the same effect?"
The data terminal quickly recalculated the data: "... the reaction speed has returned to normal, and the divine blood you carry does not seem to be enough to activate this sword. It only responds to the more primitive divine blood carried by Vivian. But the advanced The progress of the reaction cannot be reversed, and the balance will be broken in thirty minutes."
At this time, Vivian's voice came through the communicator: "I'm in the passage outside the hall, how is the situation over there?"
"The good news is it's re-stabilized, the bad news is we only have thirty minutes to stop this thing from blowing up the Nether Clocktower."
"Correct, blow up the entire Corpus," the data terminal suddenly inserted into the communication channel, and it opened a new set of holographic projections, which showed the clock tower of the spirit world and the suspended temples in Corpus space. In the connection diagram, a huge energy field is forming between all these buildings, and it is surging with a certain frequency, like a heart. drawn from that sword, the saints did not draw anything from that sword."
Hao Ren was taken aback: "It's not the power of the sword? What is that?"
"The source of that mass of energy is the Spirit World Clock Tower itself—the 'mysterious power' that Claude mentioned earlier," the data terminal made a loud whistle, "but it is polluted, and the source of pollution is the God Killing Sword, But now this pollution is spreading to the entire space. This sword is an unprecedented 'virus carrier', it can not only corrode the will of the demon hunter - it is polluting the entire ancient energy system of Corpus."
Almost at the same time as the data terminal's voice fell, Yizaks suddenly frowned: "La Nina just sent a message, and the frontline soldiers reported that the energy nodes that were blown up before are being re-lit one by one. Among those nodes The runestones must have been destroyed, but their power cores are being activated out of thin air."
Tutan is still a little confused about the situation, but he only knows about those energy nodes: "The rune stone is just something we set up later, and those energy nodes can operate on their own. It's just that in the past few thousand years, they They were never actively activated, and we had to use external force to activate them."
"That is to say..." Hao Ren looked at the Godslayer Sword, "Because of this sword, all the remains of Corpus are truly waking up."
Cold sweat broke out on Lily's forehead: "And she was polluted as soon as she woke up... No wonder the temple of the Goddess of Creation was broken by a group of mortals!"
Bai Huo's eyes wandered around the ceremony hall, even in this situation she still remained calm, and suddenly asked a question: "Where are the saints?" (to be continued~^~)
