Time rolls forward and never changes according to the will of ordinary life.
The troubled history of mankind in the 'Multi-Ring Universe' has not stopped either.
Ninety-one years of the New Calendar.
The smoke of war is floating on the earth, and traces of various wars can be seen everywhere. These 'scars' will take a long time even for the world to repair.
Occasionally, you can see the ruins of some cities somewhere, and those are the memories left by human civilization.
Leaving these disaster-stricken edge areas and moving further inland, you will gradually see traces of human beings.
The ground is crisscrossed with large solid bunkers and mechanical guards.
Large areas of fertile land are cultivated through mechanization and automation.
All processes are automatically completed by machines.
Because of the dangerous environment outside and highly developed technological creations, there is no room for the profession of 'farmer' to survive.
Under the protection of the bunker's defense line, it is difficult for the alien beasts to develop an appetite for those iron knobs with "thorns".
This also allows humans to obtain a stable source of food by only requiring timely maintenance and regular inspections.
There are almost no traces of base cities on the ground, replaced by a small number of underground bases and a large number of floating cities!
Because of the danger on the ground, most underground bases are built for military or scientific research purposes and do not accommodate ordinary civilian life.
But now all human civilians live on floating cities.
Floating cities are generally suspended at an altitude of more than three thousand meters, which is also to avoid the attacks of ground monsters with long-range attack methods.
The powerful circulation system and air defense system are the guarantee for the floating city to face various harsh environments and flying beasts at high altitudes.
If in a peaceful era, the power of automated machinery is used to completely replace a certain occupation or a previous necessity, such as "farmers" or "oil", there will definitely be strong resistance and opposition from those with vested interests.
After all, when some people regard certain things as a habit, they are unwilling to leave this comfort zone, even if they know in their hearts that just one step forward is the beginning of a new era, and this is still the case!
Perhaps in many cases, only a huge change can break the old cycle and usher in a new order in the world!
Now, all floating cities use the latest developed new energy, which is inexhaustible and pollution-free!
The highly developed mechanical technology and biotechnology have brought the survival resources that humans can control to an unprecedented level of prosperity, and no one will worry about these things anymore.
Human beings have not become mentally numb or decadent because of this situation, because the Sword of Damocles is always hovering over human heads, and any laziness will lead to human destruction.
Today's human beings are thriving everywhere. After the optimization of biotechnology, it can be said that today's human beings are two completely different species than those before the New Era.
The evolutionary process of human beings in the past hundred years has been more intense than the tens of thousands of years before.
There is a huge innate gap between physical fitness and wisdom, and the basic life span has more than doubled, reaching nearly two hundred years.
And compared to the pitifully low probability of humans awakening supernatural powers before, this value has now been increased to about 5%, which means that there is one awakened person in every twenty people.
And this is a proportion calculated based on the total population. If we simply count the new generation in the past twenty years, this value will be even higher, even reaching more than 15%!
The increase in basic awakened superpowers has greatly increased the probability of the birth of various powerful superpowers. This is a carnival for researchers.
Nowadays, human cubs receive unified basic education from birth. This period usually lasts from three to twelve years old. After the age of twelve, they can plan and plan their future path according to the comprehensive wishes of themselves and their parents.
choose.
The route of a researcher who specializes in scientific research, or the route of a combat system against alien beasts.
There will be more branches later.
For example, the scientific research route can choose biotechnology or mechanical technology, and the combat system also has martial arts abilities, technological abilities, and biological modifications.
A sufficient spiritual life and a high-spirited spirit of struggle create a flourishing civilization.
Of course, only a handful of people can understand that the civilization they are proud of... has been deliberately shaped.
In the magic tower, it seems that every level has been specially created.
The first floor has a vast area and extremely high energy activity. Children born here will be inherently better.
On the second level, there is actually a complete computing system behind the huge maze. They are like supercomputers that are ahead of the times and can help mankind in various ways.
On the third floor, there is... Well, there was originally a complete rune system here. As a result, due to the initial selection error, humans missed a piece of precious knowledge. Otherwise, with the wide applicability of the rune system,
It is enough to greatly broaden the breadth of today's systems.
On the fourth level, the virtual network of the ‘Wise Man’s Game’ can do things far beyond human imagination. With its power, humans can continuously simulate civilization to avoid the mistakes they may make.
The fifth floor...
The sixth floor...
…
The eighth floor of the magic tower, central area.
This is the safe zone on this level, which is a location that will not be attacked by other strange beasts.
According to the news that the human side received from the beginning, if you want to save the world, you must meet the 'Heavenly Demon', and the location of the 'Heavenly Demon' is on the ninth floor of the Demon Tower. In other words, you only need to clear the eighth floor in front of you. Humans
They can face the 'devil' who is trying to destroy their world!
It’s not like no one has ever thought about what humans would do if they were unable to resist in the face of a ‘devil’ with such means.
But! After countless baptisms, today's human beings have buried the spirit of struggle and resistance deep in their blood and souls. Even in the face of powerful enemies, they cannot shake their own tenacious will!
At this time, there were more than thirty people sitting in a large conference room. They were all the top people on the human side at all levels.
Li Hao, who was born in the first year of the New Calendar and is now ninety-one years old, is on the list.
Although he is nearly a hundred years old, for a martial arts master, he looks like he is only in his twenties.
As one of the top strong men on the human side, even if Li Hao has no intention of fighting for power, he has still become one of the most powerful people in the 'Human Federation', together with his family, relatives and friends.
a huge interest group.
More than thirty people were sitting casually, not communicating with each other, just waiting silently.
After a while, a beautiful secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses, intellectual and capable walked into the conference room holding a stack of documents.
She first bowed to everyone to express her respect, because she knew that all the bosses who were sitting next had precious time, so she went straight to the topic without any other nonsense.
"According to our preliminary investigation, there are four enemies in the entire eighth floor of the magic tower, and each of them has the power of the legendary pinnacle!"
As the upper limit of strength continues to be broken, although the evaluation standards from D level to super S level are still used in the lower classes, humans have also gained a new understanding of the realms above them.
Legendary level is the new name for the realm beyond Super S level.
The giant whale that wreaked havoc in Donghua was at this level, and it also entered this level after the twenty-fifth rotation of the magnetic field broke its fate!
For the 'Human Alliance' that has developed to this day, if there are only four legendary beasts, although it is a bit troublesome, it is far from being a trouble.
Therefore, the eighth floor of the Magic Tower can never be that simple.
Sure enough, I heard the beautiful secretary continue to say: "...In addition, we also found that these four legendary peak beasts are fully adapted to their own environment, and will not leave their corresponding environmental areas at will."
"These four strange beasts are... the lava earth beast. They are located in the southern area. There are many large volcanoes there, and those volcanic veins are connected together. This lava earth beast lives in the underground lava. It has
With its ability to trigger volcanic lava eruptions, a large-scale army may not be of much use, and we speculate that it may have the characteristics of an elemental creature. It is difficult to kill it in a lava environment..."
The beautiful secretary said with a sigh.
Someone asked in a deep voice: "Isn't there some good news? Where are the targeted weapons?"
The beautiful secretary said: "Originally, the 'Cold Silence Bomb' we have can just deal with this situation. The 'Cold Silence Bomb' can directly change the scorching environment into an icy environment. Moreover, the more intense the external scorching environment, the colder the resulting cold environment will be.
The colder it is. Unfortunately, we tried to launch one at one of the craters, but it was annihilated before it started to work. The specific reason is unknown."
Seeing that no one was asking, the beautiful secretary continued: "To the east is a huge sea space, where lives a giant king squid with a body length of three hundred meters. Its tentacles can be extended and retracted at will, and the maximum can even reach thousands of meters.
Mi has a strong affinity for the water element, and its recovery ability is even more terrifying. We speculate that it may even have some ability to recover itself by absorbing seawater!"
"Absorbing seawater to restore itself?" Someone questioned: "Isn't this too outrageous? Let's talk about conservation of mass and energy! If this strange beast really has such an ability, wouldn't it be invincible in the sea?
How do we defeat it?!"
Faced with the boss's doubts, the beautiful secretary said cautiously: "Since no temptation so far can make them leave their territory, the suggestion we give is... when dealing with giant squid, you can use ice sealing and water element suppression.
Allowing a large number of strong earth elements to temporarily create land suppression and other means may temporarily render its ability ineffective or reduce it."
"To the north is a rocky and mountainous environment. There is a giant rhinoceros there. It has the strongest defense ability among the four strange beasts and can control gravity. According to our current exploration and observation, the giant rhinoceros can control gravity.
The range is more than five thousand meters, and the maximum extent is about a hundred times."
One hundred times gravity control?!
You must know that many parts of human beings are actually quite fragile, let alone a hundred times. With the current physique of new humans, even ten times the gravity can directly cause people to lose the ability to move in an instant, and cause them to suffer from severe injuries in a very short period of time.
Death from ruptured internal organs.
Even for martial arts schools that are recognized as the strongest in the physical body, if they want to exercise parts like internal organs, they still need extremely high martial arts attainments.
Seeing the faces of the big bosses, the beautiful secretary smiled and said: "In our judgment, although the giant rhinoceros is very difficult to deal with, it is the one we can best defeat among the four strange beasts!"
"The gravity field has almost no blocking effect on weightless beam weapons, and we can attack the giant rhinoceros by throwing mass-energy weapons from directly above its head. However, considering the defense and resilience of this giant beast,
It may take a long time to eliminate it.”
The big guys nodded and approved this plan. After listening to it for so long, they finally found something a little more reliable.
The beautiful secretary continued: "To the west, there are criss-crossing canyons and cliffs. A gale eagle with a wingspan of twenty meters lives there. Its speed is so fast that it is difficult for our surveillance equipment to capture it, so this
There is minimal information on this strange beast. We currently only know that it can control storms and set off hurricanes with a wide range of influence."
After a moment of silence, someone said: "Tell me about the strategy team's suggestions."
The so-called strategy team is a team composed of many colleges, research institutes, and staff groups that specializes in studying strategies to defeat each floor of the Magic Tower. This is also a special department that humans decided to form after the painful experience of the incident on the third floor of the Magic Tower.
.
After so many years of development, the strategy team has covered all aspects related to the Magic Tower.
From the distribution of materials between the different levels of the magic tower, to the mobilization of troops and the latest weapons to detect intelligence, the shadow of the strategy team can be found.
The beautiful secretary said respectfully and seriously: "Our suggestion is... make complete preparations, and then kill all four strange beasts on the eighth floor of the magic tower at the same time!"
"oh?"
Since the four targets will not leave their own territory, normal people should know that the easiest way to deal with the enemy in this case is to defeat them individually. What is the operation of dividing the troops into four groups to deal with four alien beasts at the same time?
?
Although he was a little confused, he did not immediately question it. Instead, he asked: "Why?"
Why?
This is also what the other big guys here want to ask.
The beautiful secretary said: "Because the power of this world flows!"
"Although this world is divided into four obvious areas, our strategy team has detected that all the energy of earth, fire, geomantic omen, and water on the entire eighth floor of the magic tower has been operating according to certain rules. If you kill an alien alone,
If it’s a beast, we’re afraid there will be unpredictable changes!”
