Waking up from a dream, the eyes are dim, and there is only a very dim energy glow in the room, which is the basic lighting that automatically appears in this room when someone wakes up inside, but there is no light at all outside the window, and the body is slightly cold Let myself realize what, I groped." Sure enough, I found the puppet girl who jumped up at the side who didn't know when, and now she had wrapped herself into a rice dumpling and slept badly. She pulled the quilt hard and shook the little girl out. Looking at the scene outside the window, he muttered, "It's so dark outside. "
"Huh?" Mercury Lamp replied in a daze.
"What do you think of the darkness in front of you?"
"...it's midnight, idiot!"
I sat up and looked out the window at the thick darkness.
"There isn't even an aurora in the sky, so it doesn't feel right." I grabbed the puppet girl rolling and stretching beside me, "Come out with me and have a look."
"No, I'm so sleepy." Mercury lamp hugged my head and slapped it hard twice, but the protest was ineffective: the guy who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up and flew around, only to hang on the chandelier for two hours before he had to ask for help is not worthy of sympathy.
Jingdong fell asleep in the small box on the bedside. When I was busy getting dressed and combing my hair for the mercury lamp, the little thing also woke up. She blinked, feeling very uncomfortable with the darkness around this hour: , "Ah Jun, why is it so dark? Did Ding Dang get up early?"
, "No, it's already morning" I checked the standard time in the information link, and gave this affirmative answer, "You said the same thing, it seems something is wrong. It's dark outside now, even the aurora in the God Realm at night can't see"
, "Let there be light." Ding Dang said, and the room was immediately filled with soft light, which gradually brightened as the human eyes adapted, but this light was obviously limited to the room." I leaned over to the window sill to look , I found that there was no light on the outside of the window sill just across a layer of windows.
Something higher than Ding Dang's divine power is blocking the light, and now the outdoors of the God Realm seem to have been occupied by pure darkness. I also took out a flashlight out of curiosity, but the beam of light emitted by the flashlight was also directly cut off at the window. The light and dark section looked very obvious, obviously it was not formed naturally.
"I don't understand."
The little thing flew over, bouncing on the window sill, "The higher-level gods are using a large range of dark power outside, and the light used for general lighting has been directly rejected."
Although I don’t think there can be any accidents in the God Realm.” I am still very concerned about the strange scene in front of me. This may be another wonderful natural phenomenon in the God Realm, but even Ding Dong is confused, so this possibility is a little bit Makes people suspicious. So I think it's better to hurry up and see if the others are awake.
My room is located on the second floor of the main hall of the Obsidian Palace, not very far from the front hall where everyone gathers on weekdays, but in this short distance, the sleepy Mercury Lamp and I met many servants in the corridor. It further confirmed my hunch: it should be morning now, and something might have happened.
The servants I met in the corridor were not very clear about what happened, but after asking two or three people a little, I learned that they were just busy preparing meals and doing daily work, so I felt a little relieved. It seems that the only anomaly at present is such a dark day, not because of any crisis or the like.
That's right, this is the God Realm, if there is a crisis in this place, then the other mortal worlds will almost all perish.
Because it was dark outside, the Obsidian Temple was lit up with eternal light everywhere. Yes, it is the kind of thing that God said that if there is light, there will be light in the world. The people who serve tea and water here will say "these absolute natural lights." The section of the road from the corridor to the front hall is brightly lit. If it’s not that the outside is still pitch black from the window passing by occasionally, I can’t even feel that there is anything unusual about the situation. And in the same brightly lit palace front hall, I Sure enough, I saw Sandora and my elder sister who were already sitting there drinking morning tea.
Of course, there is also Bingtis who is already doing radio gymnastics in the front hall early at this time.
, "Yo, Chen" I didn't expect you to get up at that time when there was no sky." Bingtis waved his hand here, then shrugged at Sandora who was drinking tea, "I saw that teacup just now , write it down in the account! "
, "What's going on outside?"
Seeing that Sandora and Bingtis were still bickering and exchanging feelings as usual, I knew that nothing major happened, but I was still confused by the abnormal darkness outside.
"Ah, it's really a rare situation." Bingtis came to the huge French window and pushed open the crystal window, which was a bit too big for the palace. The thick darkness outside seemed to pass through in an instant. The open window seemed to diffuse in, making the hall a bit darker." "It's the power of the Goddess of Darkness. One of the four chiefs personally took action. It seems that Father God really attaches great importance to this matter. Fortunately, you didn't leave yesterday. Or I have to call you back today. "
Because the things here are already busy, I and the others originally planned to say goodbye yesterday afternoon, but Bingtis's forceful retention, especially because Qianqian hadn't played enough, made me decide to stay one more day. According to Tees, does the current darkness still have anything to do with us
"Brother, brother, it's so dark outside." Viska also ran into the front hall at this time, next to Pandora who didn't show any expression, and behind them were Bubble and Little Bubble, one cooing Yay gestures 1 stroke 1, expressing her views on this darkness to the air, one is wandering in the sky, I can't imagine that she is running a few trumpets at this time to explode all human beings' post bars.
, "It really is a family, even the wake-up time is quite synchronized." Bingtis waved for everyone to sit down in the hall, and turned his attention to Viska." It just so happens that Viska is also here, and this matter has something to do with you. Ladies and gentlemen, let me announce the good news first: The first batch of Protoss advance team sent out returned last night, and brought back a very important harvest: things related to Xiling's legacy. "
Bingtis' words really managed to attract everyone's attention, and even Sandora and her elder sister put down their teacups: Obviously, although they had already arrived in the living room, Bingtis kept it secret and didn't tell them in advance.
, "By the way, you have already collected almost all the fragments of the star ring, right?"
Bingtis didn't say it directly, but suddenly mentioned another thing.
Viska is always the most concerned about this matter, and immediately raised his hand and chirped and replied: "I know, I know, counting what was excavated by the expeditionary forces from all over the world, what was discovered in the macro world, and what we found in several incidents One hundred and twenty-three fragments have been recovered, all of which are the remains of the inner ring, basically accounting for 80% of the entire inner ring."
, "You found the rest of the fragments?!" I suddenly understood what was happening, and looked at Bingtis in surprise.
, "Ah, this is the bad news after the good news: we did find a fragment, super huge" Bingtis exaggeratedly gestured with his hands, drawing a big arc in the air" "A world management god After discovering that a star ring fragment broke into his own world and then called the police, the advance team who happened to be returning just took it back. The thing was still effective, and the advance team almost died. "
, "Um, the last ring fragment is indeed the most armed part, I didn't expect it to be still running." Weiska scratched his hair, his face was a little embarrassed, and the corner of my mouth was slightly moaning: just like the ice stalk As Si said, this is actually unfriendly news.
That’s right.” The discovery of a new imperial heritage is of course something to be happy about, but the star ring fragments are a special case: Many facts show that the star ring fragments are most likely caused by the fallen apostles, who destroyed the out-of-control star ring of Viska, and It was seriously polluted with the power of the abyss and transformed into a very dangerous void mine. At present, nearly a hundred worlds have been attacked by these mines, and more than a dozen of them have even been destroyed as a result. "When the Imperial Expeditionary Force arrived At that time, those worlds even had only a little bit of star fragments left after the interstellar explosion. Current intelligence shows that these void mines have no clear target, and the fallen apostles are likely to simply "create those things for the purpose of destroying the world" instead of using them as official weapons, so after the transformation is completed, the fallen will throw them away No matter, but those fragments still have a relatively fixed appearance pattern: they are all in the non-sovereign plane far away from the protoss ruled area.
The hundreds of star ring fragments we have found are all like this. Those worlds are not ruled by the gods, and they were not in the empire's territory even before they were discovered by the expeditionary force." They are all idle worlds, according to Bella Vila. It is mentioned that the fallen apostles all have a serious tendency to destroy due to the influence of the power of the abyss. "They need to rely on enjoying the destruction of the world to vent this impulse, but they don't want to be discovered by the gods because of too much movement." So unless the purpose is unknown Yes, the "Great Cause" The fallen apostles will only do something to the idle world where no one cares and no one loves. I always think that there will be no exceptions.
However, the advance team of the Protoss discovered the debris attack in the area ruled by the Protoss.
"The fallen apostles shouldn't go crazy, right?" Elder sister frowned, "If they openly attack the god clan's territory, they may show their feet. Is there any support?"
, "Who knows?" Bingtis shrugged, "The power of the Fallen Apostle is definitely not enough to start a full-scale war with the Protoss, so the sudden appearance of this star ring fragment on the Protoss territory is very puzzling. Now the Goddess of Darkness is gradually controlling the abyssal energy on the giant fragment, trying to find out the source of this fragment in reverse, maybe you can use this to find a lair. from. "
This is really troublesome news. I thought I could relax for a while, but I didn't expect that the fallen apostles would start to make trouble again, and this time they would directly provoke troubles in the territory of the Protoss. Their behavior is always so incomprehensible. Wait until By the time you finally understand, it has already caused you a lot of trouble.
The darkness outside was caused by the power of the Goddess of Darkness. It didn't cover the entire God Realm as I imagined at the beginning, but only permeated a small area near the garden. It just so happened that the Obsidian Temple materialized in this area. We They are covered together, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get out before the Supreme Dark Goddess withdraws her power. I don't really understand the power form of the gods, but according to Bingtis, the power of the dark goddess will change the abyssal energy on the fragments, making them "solidified" so that they can be researched conveniently and safely. It can be considered that this is a more sophisticated abyss inert treatment method than Xiling's psionic suppression force field, and it is far more efficient than our method that requires several days of processing to conduct contact research on a fragment—just Two hours later, the darkness dissipated.
Sandora and I led the Pandora sisters to the Glorious God Court again, but this time we went directly to the palace of the highest dark goddess: the Palace of Eternal Night, a black palace that is not obvious, but deep and solemn.
Father God is already waiting for us in the palace, together with several high-level gods who have met, including Gaga, the highest goddess of life, and Sovre, the highest god of light,
Coupled with the owner of the palace, Sorafier, it means that the four leaders of the protoss came three times at a time, but the powerful dragon god did not appear this time. According to the subtle smile on the face of the father god after I mentioned that name, I think the dragon god The adults have already sacrificed themselves to build a harmonious society in the God Realm, and went to the confinement room to count ants.
, "Bingtis should have told you about the situation" Father God led the way and led us to the depths of the Eternal Night Palace, "This is really surprising, the fallen are so careless, careless."
, "You mean, is this an accident?"
Sandora asked in appropriate official terms, when the fragments of the star ring appeared on the territory of the Protoss, the whole incident developed towards seriousness: of course it did not affect the trust relationship between the new empire and the Protoss, but refers to the current situation. The situation is basically equal to the joint preparation stage.
, "My intuition tells me that the fallen ones should also be flustered now." Father God smiled slightly, "as indifferent as usual, as if such a serious and dangerous provocation from the fallen apostles was nothing to him." "They wouldn't be so reckless. Go to war directly with the gods, because their "great cause" has obviously not been achieved. The appearance of this star ring fragment is very strange. I don't think it was released by the fallen, and I even think that it appeared in the world managed by the protoss not as a weapon. However, the specific situation still needs to be seen by you to understand it, and it can also answer our doubts. After all, the Protoss still has some headaches for your technology.
During the conversation, we have come to a large hall on the lower floor of the Eternal Night Palace, a very spacious hall, the floor is covered with smooth mirror-like obsidian, but there are no decorations around the hall or in the inner space." Not even a tree There are no pillars. The accompanying Bingtis told us in a low voice that this place is called the Hall of Mirrors, and it is the entrance to another space.
"The piece of fragment is very huge, and the abyss reaction is close to the intensity of the abyss gate, Feier can only deal with it in another space." Father God said, making a gesture in the air, and the obsidian ground under everyone's feet immediately There are layers of ripples, and it turns out that the portal of the different space is the ground here." "It is not difficult to purify the abyss power on it, but it takes a little time to turn them into specimens that can be touched safely. The hours of darkness have not affected you."
The different space where the Goddess of Darkness handles dangerous goods is a place similar to the void area of shadow space, without gravity and direction, but it has a unique anti-physical property that can easily see things without lines. The huge star ring fragments are Quietly suspended in the space above and below, like a dry branch.
This is not the first time I have seen a star ring fragment, but this one is larger than the fragments I have seen, and it looks more complete. Its superalloy shell was torn at both ends by the explosion, forming a jagged shape. There are not many scars in other places. We can also clearly see the weapon slots on the surface and the ejection hatches that have not been fully closed. The huge machine that lost its last energy due to the battle with the Protoss advance team can now see It looks dim and no longer brilliant, but this image floating quietly in mid-air has a somewhat desolate feeling. Seeing this scene, I can't help but want to make a poem but I can't hold it back.
"Because it was on the verge of exploding into the gate of the abyss at that time, we handled it on our own initiative, but did not change its structure." Father God led everyone gradually approaching the fragments of the star ring floating in the mid-air until it became a star ring fragment in front of everyone. Unable to see all of its mountains, we landed on a seemingly mooring platform in the middle of the arc, and I found a black two-dimensional huāwen still floating on the metal under my feet, but I couldn’t feel the disgusting power of the abyss of distortion.
Compared with the suppressing force field of the empire, the power of the Supreme Dark Goddess is indeed much superior. I believe Tavel will be very excited about this new toy.
Viska silently looked around, pursed her lips and said nothing, until the red light in her eyes flashed, she seemed to have discovered something, and strode to an open mounting armor plate a few hundred meters away, After kicking away the piece of armor that had been in disrepair, his fingers turned into probes bursting with dark flames, piercing into the mechanical structure protruding from under the armor.
The dark red energy light flow instantly spread from the place where the probe [probe] pierced, quickly swept across the metal armor plate under everyone's feet, and the low humming sound and slow echo from nowhere suddenly echoed in the ears , Just like a mummy that is rapidly returning to life, the fragments of the star ring actually started to work again, and the surrounding weapon covers and ejection hatches finally closed completely after regaining energy. Viska made a reassurance for us After a few minutes, a severely distorted synthesized voice came from a nearby broadcasting tower:,"
The highest command set was re-detected, the existing mission ended, and the weapon system was locked. "System self-inspection error, no servo equipment and starship signal found, warning, system status is abnormal, please use the upper-level intelligent system to make tactical judgments."
The last few characters faded away like an old-fashioned tape recorder with insufficient power, and Viska also stopped the light return operation of the star ring fragments, and she ran back with an overjoyed expression on her face: "Brother, brother ! The auxiliary system of this piece of debris is really not broken! Fix it, Tavel can fix it! You can even use the backup data here to restore the inner ring!"
