Chapter 257: [Ode Papadopolis/City of the First Father](1/2)

Buzz——

A twisted [∞] symbol appeared on the floating city, and with the distortion of space, Xia Xiu stepped onto the ancient city suspended above the storm.

There was a strange cold feeling coming from the metal ground beneath my feet, as if the entire city itself was breathing slowly.

A low hum echoed in the air, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.

At this moment, three haloes like mutton-fat white jade suddenly appeared behind Xia Xiu's head. The whiteness was filled with flowing light, and it trembled slightly as if it had some kind of vitality.

The light emitted by this halo dispersed the shadows around him, but it was difficult to completely penetrate the mysterious darkness hidden in the space.

A series of rapidly beating data streams began to appear on his retina, intertwined into a complex network pattern, like an invisible barrier protecting his brain from pollution and erosion.

[Initial contact with the unknown Mimu——]

[Crown resources have been called——]

[Current Ethernet floating point computing efficiency: 1x10^10 per second (tens of billions)]

Xia Xiu frowned slightly and said to himself:

"Nearly tens of billions of ether operations per second...the pollution here is indeed ridiculously high. It can already be regarded as an existence incarnate among the stars."

He held the silver cane tightly in his right hand, glanced at the tall abandoned buildings around him, and continued walking forward.

Just as he continued to take a few steps forward, [Adam's] electronic sound and the data feedback of the heavenly genealogy came to his ears.

[Memu Scanner performs multi-layer analysis on current city documents, images, and text.]

[The trigger threshold is when the keyword matching rate reaches more than 65%, and the system will mark it as a potential Meme threat. 】

【Environment recognition has been started!】

[Automatically start the space detection system: high-altitude floating objects (7.8 kilometers ± 200 meters range). 】

The light around the triple halo trembled slightly, and warning messages came one after another:

[Warning Phase: Immunity Confirmation]

[Check whether the user has basic divine Meme resistance certification (Class-B Meme immunity).]

Xia Xiu's vision film flashed through a series of analysis of Mimu characteristics, and the [Torino Type I] in the body maintained its normal mode output, which will analyze and isolate the terrifying and dense pollution around it.

The blond young man with a triple halo looked at this huge floating city with great interest.

In front of him, three magnificent temples stood in the center of the floating city. They were like isolated islands in the torrent of time.

The surface of the temple is covered with light golden reliefs. After countless years of erosion, the patterns on the reliefs appear mottled, but they still clearly depict some great history.

Xia Xiu walked towards the nearest temple to himself, which was also the largest temple. His footsteps echoed on the wide stone steps.

The decoration leading to the entrance to the main hall is——

Two naked children stood beside a row of trees, staring nervously at the horizon.

A wolf and a bear stood behind them, protecting them.

On the wall opposite this mural, there is a human figure holding a flaming red sword standing on a mountain overlooking the trees.

Approaching the palace door, he could clearly see the nervous expressions of the children on the relief, as well as the bear and wolf guarding them behind them.

The air is filled with a certain smell of metal and dust, as if the breath of ancient times remains.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, Xia Xiu stepped into the main hall.

The interior space is tall and empty, with mottled star patterns faintly visible on the arched dome at the top. The central light source is a beam of sunlight that shines from the damaged dome, illuminating part of the entire hall.

The air is slightly cold, but it has a strange vibration that makes people feel like they are walking in another dimension.

When Xia Xiu looked at the mural, [Adam] had already analyzed the ancient characters used in the floating city, so he could understand the meaning of the characters at this moment.

The three murals occupy three walls of the main hall respectively, carrying an indescribable shock:

Sunrise view from the front.

[The brilliance in the mural is so brilliant that it is almost impossible to look directly at it, and the man in the painting exudes unparalleled majesty.

He holds a long silver-tipped stick and wears a shining crown. The two people beside him are inseparable, while the third person is leaving.

"The bronze dragon with blue eyes" hovers in the sky, and the words "They will know what existence is" are engraved on the side of the dragon, as if to declare some kind of universal truth.]

Meeting scene on the east wall.

[The golden man stands in front of the throne, surrounded by kings and sages wearing various robes.

The king with the burning crown, the woman entwined with snakes, the warrior made of iron, and the wizard in blue robes are in sharp contrast, and the scene reveals solemnity and hidden conflicts.]

Throne Scene on the Western Wall.

[The man is wearing an iron crown, and behind him are the outlines of various giant beings: gears and metal, flesh and bones, ice and stone, stars and light. These giant statues surround the man, seeming to demonstrate his authority and destiny

.]

There is no mural on the last wall, just a line of text.

The only text on the south wall:

"If the sea does not swallow it up, the path of growth and darkness will also be -"

Xia Xiu's eyes were fixed on the mural on the east wall. It was a magnificent and heart-stopping picture.

The golden man stood under a throne, with two other people standing on either side of him. The third figure did not appear.

In front of the golden man is a king in crimson robes, with a flaming crown on his head, extending a hand of friendship.

Beside him were a naked woman with a snake wrapped around her body, a man made of iron, and a wizard in dark blue robes.

There are some other characters nearby.

His golden eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes focused on the center of the picture - the king wearing crimson robes. Under the light and shadow effect of the mural, his crown seemed to be really burning, and the raging flames showed that authority and destruction were intertwined.

mean.

The king's face was hidden in shadow, but his outstretched hand was shrouded in dazzling light.

"The Crimson King..."

Xia Xiu muttered in a low voice, with a cold and faint fear in his tone.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His fingers tapped on the staff unconsciously, as if thinking and confirming.

His eyes slowly moved to the other side of the mural, where a man made of iron stood, his image rough and solid, like the embodiment of steel and will.

Those stern eyes seemed to meet the gaze of the viewer through the mural.

He knew this man. In one of his spiritual visions, he saw him fighting to the death with the evil beast that was devouring the earth.

"Brohm...the human walker of the Broken God who disappeared after the decisive battle with Ion."

Xia Xiu's voice was slightly deep, with a hint of thinking.

A strange light flashed in his golden eyes, as if he had glimpsed some shocking secret in this mural.

Xia Xiu's eyes scanned the entire mural again.

The naked woman wrapped around a snake exudes a primitive and bewitching aura, like the incarnation of nature and evil; while the wizard in dark blue robes is hidden in the crowd, but seems to control some unfathomable power.

Each character is like a fragment of this lost history, spliced ​​together into a truth that has not been fully revealed.

"Why do they gather here?" Xia Xiu murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the empty hall.

He waved his hand gently, and the silver light on the front of the staff lit up more details of the mural.

He noticed that the characters in the background had complex expressions, some were full of respect, some were full of fear, and many more showed silent sadness.

"Is this a covenant? Or a betrayal?"

Xia Xiu stared at the empty space in the mural that did not appear, and frowned slightly.

"Who is the vacant person? Why did he leave..."

His words stopped abruptly and he paused slightly, as if he was secretly interpreting the deeper meaning of this mural.

Xia Xiu quickly turned from the east wall to the murals on the adjacent west wall.

In the center of the picture, there is still a golden man sitting on a high throne. His face is majestic and cold, and an iron crown covers his head, like a heavy yoke and an unquestionable authority.

The crown was engraved with a line of text that could not be compiled into a language. In the center of the crown was a sparkling white gemstone, whose dazzling light seemed to still flicker outside the mural.

Behind the man, several huge figures stood majestically, surrounding his throne, like a set of laws that could not be defied.

Xia Xiu's eyes first fell on the image composed of gears and metal. The complex and precise structure reminded people of the indifference and ruthlessness of the machine.

Several gears seem to rotate slightly in the picture, like a never-ending machine watching everything in the world.

In his body, [Broken Fire] seemed to be sensing something, and it suddenly jumped, and that familiar heat flashed through his consciousness like a ray of light.

"really……"

Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingertips tapped the staff lightly, and there was some kind of speculation in his heart.

His eyes then turned to the image made of blood and flesh.

Its outline is vague, but it exudes an uncomfortable vitality and is breathing quietly.
To be continued...
