The sixth floor, starting from here, is the Ark area. It collected the species on almost all planets at the end of the dark age. They competed for natural selection in thousands of years of long time. : 17.
"The Seventeenth District." Opal said, "I think Horius and the teacher have different beliefs. The saber-toothed tiger represents battle and force, while the dragon ray represents protection and stability..."
Raymond pressed the badge given by Cororin to the door and opened the most mysterious private plot in King's Wharf.
"I don't think he will be like the mercenaries." Raymond said: "Just fighting for the battle. I remember his first victory, and he once reached a peace negotiation with the replicators."
Opal nodded, is fighting for battle also a belief? Perhaps, the madness of the bloody battle is like the addiction of drugs, the process of killing, destroying and fighting, as if it can make people experience a kind of life reconstruction.
But Horius' belief shouldn't be to fight for the sake of battle, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on for so long.
Opal said: "I have also seen in ancient history that Horius should hope that everyone can coexist, otherwise he would not have made peace with Kalb. Later, for a long period of time, both replicators and humans were in this universe. I survived in the middle of nowhere, and then I don't know why... I have torn my face."
Raymond walked into the vast darkness and said, "If the contract is valid and Horius is still alive, what do you think he will do today?"
"Be careful." Opal reminded.
The light of E7 turned to a huge monster, its body was covered with barbs, and it let out a dull roar, as if it was awakened by the sudden light source, but did not dare to go forward, just erected its barbs in an attempt to scare Repel the invaders.
Opal didn't know what this thing was. He leaned back against the wall and walked down cautiously. Raymond said, "It should be an extinct creature."
Opal said: "Everything here looks a little dangerous."
Below the seventh floor is a semi-hermetic environment. The abyss of destiny is rich in a variant of the atomic structure of the ver-colored metal, showing transparency and focusing. When the meteorite hit the king's wharf hundreds of millions of years ago, the abyss appeared sealed and layered. Features, like a step-by-step rung, each layer is completely separated from the previous layer by the Verre color crystal. When the sun rises in King's Wharf, the sun will pour into the abyss of destiny layer by layer, dim layer by layer, and die on the tenth layer.
During the Dark Ages, local adventurers dug up the partitions here to serve as makeshift shelters.
Opal and Raymond went down to the tenth floor, the temperature was getting colder, the creatures moving there were even more strange, and the door on the eleventh floor was locked.
Opal probed the area behind the door with the power of faith, and found that it was full of liquid, and the liquid seemed to still have life. Xiao Q sent out sound waves to detect, and the returned data were listed one by one. "It's all acid," Raymond said.
Opal said: "You can only use Phoenix to pass this layer."
Phoenix transformed into an extremely small closed shuttle, Raymond opened the door, and the viscous acid rushed out, and the space shuttle invaded the body of the acid beast, causing it to vibrate uncomfortably.
With such a pass, the adventurers are indeed unable to reach the bottom. Opal looked at the dark green liquid around him, and Phoenix turned on the searchlight, as if sailing in the deep sea.
This place is already out of reach of the sun, but the underground glows with dazzling blue light. It is difficult to enter the eleventh floor and close the door. This is an empty world.
There is only a totem-like rough stone in the center of the entire giant pit, glowing with haunting light spots, slowly rotating around the stone pillar, the magnificent blue light is like a sapphire that can absorb people's spirits, the two of them forgot what they were going to do for a while, Ou Po couldn't help walking towards the original stone pillar.
The necklace on Raymond's chest was shining brightly, as if echoing the blue light of phantom blue fluorite, rippling layer by layer, Opal walked in again, and was surprised to find that his past memories flew out like a soul, and different people , things, almost transparent memories, the first is Recht, the second is Xun, the third is Raymond... It was like a ghost spinning in the air, saying something to him, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Opal!" Coroline's voice sounded in Opal's mind.
Opal was shocked, and the past scene returned to himself. Cororin said: [Don't be attracted by the magic blue fluorite. ] Opal gathered the power of belief and resisted the influence of the magic blue fluorite. He turned his head and found that Raymond was standing peacefully in the blue light, with swirling memories swirling around him.
"Raymond?" Opal carefully identified the memory and found that there were many people and things in it that he had not been in contact with. Where did these come from? Was it what happened to Raymond after he left the proving ground
He realized that now was not the time to watch, he was busy using the power of belief to gather and form, and rolled towards Raymond, isolating the blue light around him.
Raymond woke up and said, "Is this the magic blue fluorite?"
Opal said: "It should be a piece of stone, brought by the Huanxing people... The Abyss of Destiny is indeed the ark area, hurry up, go to the next floor."
The two of them had just opened the door and stopped in an instant.
"Be careful!" Raymond said loudly.
The head-on was a punch, and Opal was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack. When he was hit in the chest, Phoenix turned into an armor to block the impact, causing him to still be shocked by the chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Raymond hadn't seen clearly what this was, and his hands were punching from side to side like a gust of wind, but the opponent's speed was too fast.
"Get out of here, human," a boy's voice said blankly.
Opal gasped, got up and said, "What the hell is this?"
Raymond had no body armor and was hit again just after getting up. Then there was a loud noise on the other side. Opal crossed the big sword. When the sound of Phoenix was bent, Opal flew like a cannonball with a sword. He went out, fell to the ground, Raymond rushed up, the child reached out and twisted Raymond's wrist, twisting his entire arm to bend over, Raymond roared, and for a while, punched the child in the head. , The child didn't move at all, and rushed to the wall with Raymond, slammed into it hard, slammed his body into the wall, and splattered blood.
"Raymond!" Opal pushed with the force of faith in a hurry, and the boy suddenly retreated.
Evaded the power of faith! how can that be!
It was like a world under the sea, and the magic blue fluorite glowed with blue light at a height of 100 meters above their heads, just like the sunlight cast by the sea.
In Opal's hand, dozens of chains of faith were condensed, and he chased the child away under the blue light. The child's skills were so fast that they were not like humans at all. The opal hit hard.
Opal cried out in pain. This was the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered since he left Fierce Star. Raymond struggled to get out of the pit, grabbed his arm and slammed, and fell to the ground.
"Who are you?" The only guess that Opal suddenly came up with was weapons.
Is this the strongest individual researched by humans in the dark age? The killer weapon against the clone army? Damn, even Corollin never reminded that there would be such a terrifying thing at the bottom...
The child came again in a flash, Opal raised his sword to resist, but Phoenix was caught by the child. Suddenly scattered into pieces, wrapping Opal's body, and the child who was about to activate the sea of time rushed in from the pieces.
His speed was too fast, and another punch hit Opal's left chest. Opal's rib was broken, and his heart stopped beating instantly when squeezed by this huge force, spewing a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.
He was lying on the ground panting, he was lifted upside down by the child, grabbed one of his hands and one foot, and was about to tear him into two pieces when Raymond let out a desperate roar and rushed from behind. come up.
The child turned around abruptly, Raymond hugged him tightly, his chest vibrated, a ray of blue light was projected, and the atomic furnace at the heart gathered energy frantically, turning on the self-exploding mode.
"No—" Opal yelled.
Just one second before Raymond blew himself up. The child instantly turned into dark green fragments and scattered, regrouped in the distance, and said coldly, "You will all die."
Opal: "… "
Opal finally knew what it was.
"Hate, hypocrisy and arrogance."
The shards rolled towards Raymond, throwing him off the ground, and then condensed into a corpse in mid-air, punching him and hitting him back to the ground.
"That's a saber-toothed tiger!" Opal shouted its name, and Phoenix turned into pieces under his mind and flew toward the human-shaped saber-toothed tiger in mid-air, and it passed through Phoenix's body with a swipe.
"Let him combine!" Opal said.
"Unable to combine." Phoenix replied: "Unit 3 does not accept orders, you must tame it first."
"Phoenix, you already knew?" Opal asked.
Raymond lay in a pool of blood gasping for breath, the fragments turned into sharp blades and flew down like a torrential rain, the child's voice said ruthlessly: "A creature without a soul, how do you know what Horius has done for everyone?"
"I know." Raymond gasped. "Stop it!"
Opal hit the ground with a sword, releasing all the energy, the red light exploded, and the entire sixteenth floor was shattered. Opal and Raymond fell to the seventeenth floor along with the collapsed ground.
Seventeenth floor: Tomb of Heroes.
Opal and Raymond ran into the depths of the cemetery all the way to the depths of the cemetery. Opal said, "Go to Horius' tomb. I can't believe he could have destroyed Horius's tomb..."
Raymond was covered in blood, and the two dragged out a trail of blood, surrounded by tombs. Opal couldn't even see the scene in front of him, but instinctively ran towards the central cemetery.
The saber-toothed tiger caught up again and blasted them straight out. Opal slammed into the tombstone and fell.
Raymond lay on the ground and opened his eyes to look at the saber-toothed tiger.
"Horius," Raymond said. "I know what he wants to do... I don't... I don't want to... I'm an intelligent being... I promise you..."
Saber-toothed tiger stopped, with irony and hatred in his eyes, and whispered: "Go to hell." Then he mercilessly hit Raymond's chest.
"Do not-"
The moment Opal opened his eyes, Phoenix shot out a red light that smashed through the ceiling of the fifteenth floor.
Another earth-shattering collapse, a small dot flashed on the zenith, and then fell rapidly, the phantom blue fluorite spun blue light and rushed to the ground, making a loud noise, shattering into powder, and countless flying powder lingering in the air, at that moment As if releasing the consciousness that filled the whole world, rushing and roaring swept over them.
"Saber-toothed tiger, guard here." Horius's voice sounded: "until the new heir ends this era."
The shape of another officer appeared in the air: "I believe that humanity will not be destroyed."
Recht's figure is also in the middle of many consciousnesses: "In time, we will win."
"Farewell, Horius." A strong man in armor came from afar and bowed to greet Horius.
"Teacher." Horius said, "I still insist on my belief that we and Kalb should not be mortal enemies. As long as we are individuals with souls, we have the right to live in this universe..."
The saber-toothed tiger fell silent, and Raymond tried his best to get up and said, "Horius' belief is also my belief. You can see... you can see..."
In his chest, the atomic furnace glowed silently with blue light.
"His faith went further than his life," Raymond said. "I believe Horius would like me to take over his mission."
The saber-toothed tiger was broken into pieces again and scattered, and then gathered into a lapis lazuli ring, which fell to the ground with a clatter.
"The Sea of Time is activated."
The tide-like red river swept through the whole body of Opal and Raymond, rolled them together, and wrapped them in a transparent nutrient capsule. The entire hero cemetery glowed with the light of the soul, floating and sinking in the surrounding world.
Opal opened his eyes in the sea of time, and the two men's damaged bodies after the battle were slowly repaired.
Opal: [It finally quieted down?]
Raymond: [Well, I almost killed you.]
Opal: [Born to fight, but also died to fight. If you go too much at night, there will always be times when you will fall, which is a little tricky.] Raymond and Opal both laughed.
Opal turned his head and looked out, three tombstones were standing.
In the center: Horius, the god of war, is buried here.
On the left: Scar Shax rests here.
On the right: Ayana Sphinx rests here.
Opal recalled the people and things he had come into contact with in the past, and found that only the title of Horius was recognized by the entire universe, not a position nor a nickname. Azeroth, who was able to draw a tie with Cororin, was only called the "God of War" in his own country, even though he had extraordinary attainments in martial arts.
However, when everyone mentioned Horius, they acquiesced in his status as a military god.
With a bang, the nutrition chamber opened, and Raymond fell out of the sea of time.
"Not yet," Opal said.
Raymond waved his hand, the skin on his chest has been repaired, and there is no damage to his abdomen. Opal stood beside him wet, and Raymond picked up the lapis lazuli ring and asked, "How to wake it up?"
Opal said: "Phoenix."
"It needs energy, a lot of energy, otherwise it won't revive," Phoenix said.
Raymond said: "Can it be injected in batches?"
Phoenix said: "Yes, it needs a lot of priming energy to wake it up from its dormant state, and the saber-toothed tiger's soul is buried in a place you can't go, only opal can reach."
Opal said: "Let me try, how do I do it?"
Phoenix said: "Integrate your consciousness with me and use the power of your belief."
Opal closed his eyes, and Phoenix disintegrated, turning into flying scales that revolved around him, each fragment taking the shape of a hexadecahedron crystal.
His consciousness merged with Phoenix, the world around him was like a raging fire at the time of creation, the lapis lazuli ring rose from the ground, and a ray of light flashed on the surface of the ring.
That ray of light was like a momentary star in the depths of the universe.
"Prepare to jump, destination, origin."
With a swoosh, all the sights moved away from him, the King's Wharf turned into a point, and then hundreds of billions of stars turned into vast white lines passing by him, and then countless galaxies turned into vortex stratus penetrating his body. , At the last moment, Opal came to a vast white space.
