"I completed the task."
The glorious giant stood in front of the outpost that he had garrisoned for 760,000 years, standing upright like a soldier waiting for inspection. Although his face was covered with exhaustion, Zeus' eyes were still shining like fire.
This may be the longest mission in history. On a certain day 760,000 years ago, the created warrior accepted the order and has been faithfully guarding his sentry ever since, even if his master has been wiped out. Never give up on this mission. And today, 760,000 years later, he can finally proudly announce with glory that he has completed the ancient mission and returned the position to his master.
"You are excellent, soldier, really, as excellent as a Teijin," Sandora said with a majestic yet emotional expression, "You have defended your defenses and this palace—open the gate of the control room, Let's meet that ancient Xiling apostle."
"Of course, God Moragus is inside."
Zeus replied in a thunderous voice, raised his hand and sent a light to the gate of the temple, which opened immediately, and then he looked curiously at his brother Hades, wondering why the other party kept looking up three times He looked at the sky at a ten-degree angle and shivered from time to time. He couldn't understand Hades' current state without experiencing a purification "treatment" hundreds of times the weight.
We didn't let other people follow, all the soldiers and servants stayed outside, and even Bingtis held back Ilson and Lin who wanted to follow in. Although this female hooligan was careless and even a little bit 250 in many cases, but in On some occasions, this goddess is indeed a senior who understands the overall situation and foresight. She stopped the actions of the two reckless juniors, and then took out a deck of playing cards from her pocket: "Don't follow in, let's fight the landlord? Moni Na, do you have the army chess with Kenser?"
"Very good, very good," Kenser nodded. "Who wants shrimp crackers?"
I can clearly feel that when Sandora and I walked into the temple, the atmosphere behind us was very dignified, very dignifiedly focused on the heads of the protoss five-member group.
The temple of Zeus has a gorgeous appearance, and those thick columns and carved relief walls make it look like a heavenly reception room in religious murals, but its interior is not as complicated as I imagined—Zeus is destined to be twelve meters tall. This 20-meter-high building can't even build a duplex, so after entering through the gate, the temple is directly a hall.
This is a square hall with a length of 150 meters on each side. It is not supported by a single pillar, and it looks very bright and transparent. A large half of the ground is a bird's-eye view of the city of Atlantis, which accurately shows the current state of the city. situation. There are many holographic projections floating irregularly in the mid-air of the hall, with complex curves and data reports floating on them, as well as the familiar holographic console similar to the starship control panel—of course, the main function buttons are now gray of. There are countless complex and advanced machines placed beside the walls around the hall, which look a bit like the display of the command hall of the star warship, but it seems that there are many things missing. The illusion of walking into the bridge.
This is the Temple of Zeus—with the name and appearance of a temple, it is actually the control room of an ancient colonial ship. Zeus is the guardian here and the operator of these devices. Although he is an ancient man, the Apostles of Xiling taught him knowledge far beyond ordinary civilization, which made him one of the few in Atlantis. One of the "scientists" who can control some functions of the Sunburnt Obelisk, although this statement is various and subtle.
I simply looked around the surrounding environment, and then focused my eyes on the front together with Sandora: there is a crystal in the center of the hall, its shape is irregular, it looks like a fragment of a large crystal that fell here after it fell, The brilliance of nether energy floats on its surface, which is full of energy and clean. The radius of this crystal fragment is about four to five meters, and the height is about six meters. It is generally conical, like a flame that is burning violently but suddenly frozen.
I noticed that the bottom of this crystal does not have the connection platform of conventional Xiling equipment, it extends directly from the floor of the hall.
"Below the control room is the top of the Sunburnt Obelisk," Zeus said from above us. "The control room is powered directly by the Obelisk. The Sunflame Crystal is an extension of the Obelisk, and it contains the purest The power of God, even in the darkest hour, has never been extinguished. Moragus was seriously injured after leading us to escape from our hometown. He said that he could not restore himself, but the obelisk must be controlled by someone, and the Atlanteans did not Enough talent, so the great god came to the control room, fused himself with the monument, and then ordered me to stay by his side forever, and dedicate my loyalty to the empire in every remaining moment of my life. Seven hundred and sixty-eight thousand For two hundred and forty-five years, I have faithfully fulfilled my mission and have been guarding here."
Sandora and I walked forward and quietly observed the blue-white crystal called the Sun Flame Crystal by Zeus. After walking in, I realized that a tall Xiling was sealed inside this translucent crystal. apostle.
Moragus was wearing the standard silver-white robes of imperial scientific and technological personnel, and the coat of arms on his chest showed that he was a special scholar with an officer's establishment. The other party had a harsh expression common to the apostles of the old empire, such as a harsh instructor staring straight ahead. He sat upright on an alloy seat that is very common on battleships. Even though he was seriously injured, he still sat upright at the last moment of being sealed.
When Sandora and I walked into the crystal, the latter made a very slight resonance sound, and the blue halo on the surface was obviously brighter. Sandora and I felt a very subtle feeling in the spirit at the same time, although this All the abnormalities only appeared for a moment, but we still interpreted a lot of information in an instant.
"It seems that is your seat." I have seen a very huge seat at the other end of the hall. It is undoubtedly the place where Zeus usually sits. Because of his mission, Zeus cannot lie down and rest. He is very powerful. The modified body does not need to lie down and rest, so this chair is the only place in the hall where he can relax a little bit, "Tell me about this Xiling... the great god, I am a little concerned."
"Yes, I often sit there, looking at the great god Moragus from a distance. The great god is asleep, but I can still hear his voice occasionally, and he talks to himself when he controls the obelisk, "Zeus answered my question without reservation," he talked about honor and goals, as well as the empire that can no longer be contacted. He has been waiting for the gods to come, because he said that he still has important things to dedicate to himself But after a while, the Great God suddenly said that everything was not right, that was the first time he seemed to give up hope on something, and then the Great God rarely spoke. I knew he had been unable to contact the gods, but my intuition It seemed to make him feel...something horrible, forgive me, that's all I can say."
"No, don't worry," Sandora said in a low voice, "because it is indeed a terrible thing, and every Xiling apostle should tremble for it."
After saying this, she refocused her gaze on the crystal that sealed Moragus. Apart from the momentary burst of light just now, it had no further reaction.
I touched Sandora's arm lightly, and the latter turned her face away, shaking her head slightly. The connection of hearts made us think about the same thing a long time ago, so there is no need to speak now.
I sighed, and at the same time as Sandora, I saluted the ancient Xiling apostle in the crystal with the most respectful courtesy from the supreme leader to ordinary officers, "You have done your duty, soldier."
The seemingly indestructible nether energy crystal suddenly burst into unprecedented bright blue light after this sentence, and then quietly turned into nether energy particles floating in the sky, and slowly dissipated in the air after ten seconds.
The crystal tomb, together with the ancient apostle named Moragus, turned into overflowing energy in the space.
"He has persisted for too long, and has overdrawn everything that can be overdrawn," Sandora said softly, "even his soul has been overdrawn, but in the end... he still waited for us. There are scientific research in the database in the control room All the research materials left by the team, Atlantis was originally built to preserve knowledge... Forget it, nothing."
"It's very regrettable," I took a breath, then let it out slowly, turned around and looked at the giant who was more than ten meters tall not far behind me, because of the huge gap in height, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but When a mass of meat weighing more than 40 kilograms slammed to the ground less than two meters away from me, almost turning me and Sandora into a drowned chicken, I knew that Zeus had shed a tear—or a tear. Tears, "He has lost hope of being resurrected in order to wait for us."
"The Great God talked about his departure," Zeus said in a low voice, "he announced his death more than ten days ago, but the piece of devil metal rekindled his fighting spirit. The Great God said that this is the last match of his life." Fighting, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will accompany him to the end... In any case, another mission of mine has also been completed."
Sandora and I looked at each other, knowing that the time to leave had come.
"Get back up fast, this city needs rebuilding. We're here to bring you home, the days of misery are over."
Sandora and I walked out of the gate. Outside the temple, the commanders of the armored scorpions, ravens, and chief bees are organizing their teams. These ground troops who attacked the holy mountain later wiped out the last enemy on this floating island. Valkyrie and Anubis, who had regained control, were catching up from another mountain road, and perhaps I saw some familiar faces. The girls of Gensokyo gathered in a corner, and they suddenly found that they were not suitable for the serious atmosphere of this place. Hakurei Reimu and Yakumo Zi were the only two people who were more used to it. The protoss group of five gathered in an open place solemnly. Although they were the least in number, they kept the surrounding fighters away because of some kind of aura. Kenther was staring at the commander in his hand, and Bingtis was in Peeking at Lynn's hole cards—I think I know why everyone is staying away from this group of scourges.
The thick clouds in the sky have dissipated, and the moon that blocked the sun has also moved in another direction. The bright sun is gradually covering the whole city, dyeing the ancient Atlantis golden, and the gunpowder smoke under the mountain has not yet dissipated. , the collapsed buildings and towers in the city were devastated, but the Atlanteans only had the joy of victory on their faces.
"The apostle of Xiling is dead, and his soul has dissipated," I said to Aura who walked over silently, "Send a group of technicians over, and there are research materials left by him in the control room, all about Atlantis People transform technology."
Ares came over, and Sandora nodded slightly to him: "Go and inform your people, and prepare to go home."
Intense joy flowed from the face of the unsmiling "God of War". He turned around and waved his arms violently at the assembled compatriots, but he didn't say a word, but soon, cheers erupted from the crowd After coming out, more cheers spread all the way down Mount Olympus, reaching the place where tens of thousands of civilians gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Little Bubble, who was playing with Reimu, burst into tears on the spot...
This cheering lasted for a full half an hour, and the Atlanteans almost lost control of their group emotions. The people in Gensokyo fell into severe tinnitus and insomnia in the next 48 hours. When we left the mountaintop and sent back to the transport mother When the ship was flying, Yakumo Lan even fell from the transmission platform in a daze.
We all thought that her sensitive fox ears were the culprit for this severe reaction, and the fox mother herself developed a magical stunt not long after: before she had time to raise her hand, she learned to directly control her ears, The ears are folded in half, of course, this is another story.
Gilgamesh, who was dragged away by Dingdang and Cirno before, was also dragged back from an unknown corner by the scorpions. The poor girl seems to have suffered from a very serious injury. Although her appearance has been repaired by magic power, her mood is obviously very unstable. Sandora and I expressed serious concerns about her dull hair that has grown to three, and Sandora also judged from its taste that the other party has undergone at least two or three transitions from raw to cooked and then from cooked to raw. I don't understand why Qi Lunuo was the one who obviously froze Ding Dong, and it was this golden girl who was most severely struck by lightning in the end, but when the other party sighed in a tone like Xianglin's wife, "This king really should be there The idiot Bingjing changed her clothes before she started." Afterwards, the truth finally came to light: her glittering gold body was like a lightning rod.
This may indicate that even in junior high school physics, sister Jill did not finish her studies seriously.
The fragments of the star ring have been recovered, and that thing can be said to be the most dangerous abyss infection we have collected so far: Yes, we have collected a lot of star ring fragments before, and the fragments that Sandora and I personally shot include Three or four, and the total number of star ring fragments discovered by other expeditionary forces during their missions in various worlds has reached as many as a dozen, but the total number of those fragments is not as high as the one that hit Mount Olympus this time. Seriously, and there's a reason for that.
Before that, the fragments we collected from other worlds collided with huge planets without exception, and caused extremely serious disasters, such as biochemical crisis. Although this kind of global disaster is terrible, it is equivalent to releasing, The abyss energy on the fragments has been relieved. Although the abyss will not dissipate due to dilution, and they can gradually become stronger as the infection progresses, at least in a short period of time, the abyss reaction on a fragment is spread to the entire planet. This is equivalent to reducing the threat level of the debris itself, which makes our recycling work much easier. The Atlantis star ring fragment is different. It hit a place full of psionic energy in its heyday. Even if all the power contained in it burst out, at best it can only pollute a place the size of a giant city. Coupled with the brave and fearless resistance of the Atlanteans and the strong suppressive ability of the city's psionic energy pipe network in the early stage, a considerable part of the abyssal reaction of the fragments was suppressed inside and did not explode.
The abyss can affect anything, including matter, energy, and even many rules of the universe, but its propagation effect in different "mediums" is still affected. Among the high-concentration energy fluids (except psionic energy), the abyss has the fastest propagation speed, the highest efficiency, and the craziest effect, followed by physical substances, and many physical substances can only be infected by contact. The thin energy cloud and matter cloud or vacuum environment will greatly hinder the infection of the abyss (only relatively speaking), which caused the star ring fragments to crash in Atlantis at the beginning, although it once crashed through the buoy The island's shield did not produce much leakage to the outside world, and the Atlantis barrier, which quickly responded later, acted as a "reaction furnace protection wall", which in turn imprisoned the abyss inside—Sandora was full of appetite It's easy to associate it with the steamer, that girl's mouth is too good.
The combination of these reasons directly created an unprecedented and original abyss infected body for us.
This made Sandora and I struggle for a while, but a heartless coffin controller expressed inexplicable excitement: Tavier thought he had finally found the most elusive research material in the world. Abyssal Aggregation of Great Decay. She can see with her own eyes how such a dangerous thing is bound and purified by psionic energy, and can also make a more accurate graph of the gradual decay of the abyss reaction under the action of purification power, which was once the most important in the empire. One of the achievements of scientific research, it was listed as the highest knowledge wealth in the central database of the empire, and helped the empire kill at least four digits of the abyss gate. Together, the ticketing system has turned into regrettable legend, and now Tawil feels she has a chance to remake history—in theory.
However, according to the general rule, she is more likely to reshape her own research institute in the sky due to some kind of "side effect" of scientific work before reshaping history. Maybe I have to consider letting that research freak go to hell this time Worked out of place... RO
