The glorious giant stood in front of the outpost that he had stationed for 760,000 years, standing straight like a soldier waiting for review. Although fatigue had covered his face, Zeus's eyes were still emitting light like fire.
This may be the longest mission in history. One day 760,000 years ago, the created warrior accepted the order and has faithfully guarded his post since then. Even if his master has been wiped out, he will
He has never given up on this mission. And today, 760,000 years later, he can finally proudly announce with glory that he has completed his ancient mission and returned the position to his master.
"You are very good, soldier, really, as good as an imperial soldier," Shandora said with a majestic yet emotional expression, "You have defended your own defense line and this palace - open
Open the control room door and let us meet the ancient Xiling apostle."
"Yes, God Moragus is inside."
Zeus replied with a loud voice like thunder, raised his hand and sent out a light to the door of the temple, which immediately opened in response. Then he looked at his brother Hades curiously, a little curious as to why the other party always raised his head three times.
He looked at the sky at an angle of ten degrees and shivered from time to time. He could not understand Hades' current state without having experienced hundreds of times the amount of purification "treatment".
We didn’t let anyone else follow us. All the soldiers and servants of God stayed outside. Even Bingtis held back Ilson and Lin who wanted to follow in. Although this female gangster was careless and even a bit arrogant many times, she was
On certain occasions, this goddess is indeed a senior who understands the overall situation and is far-sighted. She stopped the actions of two reckless juniors, and then took out a deck of playing cards from her pocket: "Don't follow in, let's fight the landlord, shall we? Moni
Na, do you and Kenser’s military chess set come with you?”
"Very good, very good," Kenser nodded, "Who wants shrimp crackers?"
I could clearly feel that when I and Sandora walked into the temple, the atmosphere behind us was very solemn, focusing very solemnly on the heads of the five gods.
The Temple of Zeus has a gorgeous appearance. Those thick columns and carved relief walls make it look like the heavenly communication room in religious murals, but its interior is not as complicated as I imagined - Zeus is destined to be twelve meters tall.
There is not even a duplex inside this twenty-meter-high building, so after entering through the gate, there is a hall directly in the temple.
This is a square hall with a length of 150 meters on each side. It does not have a single pillar to support it. It looks particularly bright and transparent. A large part of the ground is an aerial view of the city of Atlantis, which accurately shows the current layout of the city.
Situation. There are many holographic projections suspended irregularly in the mid-air of the hall, with complex curves and data reports floating on them, as well as a very familiar holographic console similar to a starship control panel - of course, the main function buttons are now
They are all gray. There are countless complex and advanced machines placed on the walls around the hall. They look a bit similar to the command hall furnishings of a star battleship, but they seem to be lacking a lot. The slight flow of energy and the chirping of machines echoed lowly in the hall.
, which gave me the illusion of walking into the bridge.
This is the Temple of Zeus - it has the name and appearance of a temple, but it is actually the control room of an ancient colonial ship. Zeus is the guardian here and the operator of these equipments. Although he is an ancient man, he hopes
The spiritual apostle taught him knowledge far beyond ordinary civilization, which made him one of the few "scientists" in Atlantis who could control some functions of the sun-burning obelisk, although this statement is variously subtle.
.
I briefly looked around the surrounding environment, and then focused my eyes on the front with Sandora: there was a crystal in the center of the hall. Its shape was irregular, and it looked like a piece of debris that fell here after a large piece of crystal collapsed.
The brilliance of ghost energy floats on its surface, which is abundant and clean. The radius of this crystal fragment is about four or five meters, and its height is about six meters. It is generally cone-shaped, like a flame that burns fiercely but is suddenly frozen.
.
I noticed that the bottom of this crystal does not have a connecting platform like conventional Xiling equipment. It extends directly from the floor of the hall.
"Below the control room is the top of the Sunburned Obelisk," Zeus's voice came from above us. "The energy in the control room is directly provided by the obelisk. The Sunfire Crystal is an extension of the obelisk, and it contains the purest
The power of God has not been extinguished even in the darkest moments. God Moragus was seriously injured after leading us to escape from his hometown. He said that he could no longer recover on his own, but someone must control the obelisk. The Atlanteans did not
I have 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 contribute my loyalty to the empire at every moment for the rest 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 this place."
Shandora and I walked forward and quietly observed the blue-white crystal called Sun Flame Crystal by Zeus. When we walked in, I discovered that there was a tall Xi Ling sealed in this translucent crystal.
apostle.
Moragus was wearing the standard silver-white robe of an imperial science and technology personnel. The coat of arms on his chest showed that he was a special scholar with an officer rank. His face had a stern expression common to the apostles of the old empire, such as a strict instructor.
He stared straight ahead. He was sitting on an alloy seat that was 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 our spirits at the same time, even though 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 had already seen a very huge seat at the other end of the hall. It was undoubtedly the place where Zeus usually sat. Because of his mission, Zeus could not lie down and rest. He was so powerful.
The modified body does not need to lie down and rest, so this chair is the only place in the hall where it can relax a little. "Tell me about this Xiling... great god, I am a little concerned about it."
"Yes, I often sit there, looking at the great god Moragus from a distance. The great god has fallen asleep, but I can still hear his voice occasionally, and his soliloquy when controlling the obelisk,
Zeus answered my question without reservation, "He talked about honor and goals, as well as the empire that he could no longer contact. He had been waiting for the gods to arrive because he said he still had something important to dedicate to himself.
The emperor. But after a while, the great god suddenly said that everything was wrong. It was the first time that he seemed to have given up hope on something, and then the great god rarely spoke. I knew that he could no longer contact the gods, but intuitively
It seemed to make him feel... something terrible, please forgive me, that's all I can say."
"No, don't worry," Sandora whispered, "because that is indeed a terrible thing, and every Xiling apostle should tremble for it."
After saying this, she returned her gaze to the crystal that sealed Moragus. Apart from the burst of light just now, it had no further reaction.
I touched Shandora's arm lightly, and the latter turned her face and shook her head slightly. The connection between our minds made us think about the same thing a long time ago, so there is no need for words now.
I sighed, and at the same time Sandora and I paid tribute to the ancient Xiling apostle in the crystal with the most respectful etiquette from the supreme leader to ordinary officers, "You have done your duty, soldier."
The seemingly indestructible psionic crystal suddenly bloomed with an unprecedented bright blue light after these words, and then quietly turned into psionic particles floating in the sky, slowly dissipating in the air after more than ten seconds.
The crystal tomb, together with the ancient apostle named Moragus, turned into the 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. The database in the control room has science
All the research materials left by the expedition team, the original purpose of Atlantis was just to preserve knowledge...forget it, it's nothing."
"This is very regrettable," I took a breath and exhaled it slowly. I turned around and looked at the ten-meter-tall giant not far behind me. Because of the huge gap in height, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but
When a ball of more than 40 kilograms of liquid suddenly fell to the ground less than two meters away from me, almost turning Shandora and I into drowned rats, I knew that Zeus shed a tear - it can also be called a tear.
He shed tears, "He has lost hope of resurrection 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 demonic metal rekindled his fighting spirit. The Great God said that this was the last fight in his life.
He will accompany me to the end of the battle, win or lose... No matter what, my other mission has been completed."
Sandora and I looked at each other and knew that the time to leave had come.
"Cheer up as soon as possible, this city needs to be rebuilt. We are here to take you home. The hard days are over."
Sandora and I walked out of the gate. Outside the temple, commanders at all levels such as Armored Scorpion, Raven, and Leader Bee were sorting out their teams. The ground troops who followed up on the Holy Mountain cleared away the last enemies on the floating island.
Valkyrie and Anubis, who had regained control, were catching up from another mountain road. Maybe I saw some familiar faces. The girls in Gensokyo gathered in a corner a little awkwardly, and they suddenly realized that they were not very
Suitable for the serious atmosphere of this place, Reimu Hakurei and Murasaki Yakumo are the only two people who are more accustomed to it. The five members of the God Clan gathered seriously in an open place. Although they were the smallest in number, due to some reason
The aura caused the surrounding soldiers to stay away actively. Kenser was staring closely at the commander in his hand, and Bingtis was peeking at Lin's trump card - I think I know the reason why everyone stayed away from this group of scourges.
The thick clouds in the sky have dissipated, and the moon that blocked the sunlight has also moved to another direction. The bright sunshine is gradually filling the entire city, dyeing ancient Atlantis into a golden color. The smoke under the mountain has not yet dissipated.
, the collapsed buildings and towers in the city were devastated, but the faces of the Atlanteans only had the joy of victory.
"The Xiling Apostle is dead and his soul has dissipated," I said to Aura who walked over silently. "Send a group of technicians over. There are research materials he left behind in the control room, all about Atlantis.
People transform technology.”
Ares walked over and Sandora nodded gently to him: "Go and inform your tribe and prepare to go home."
Violent joy showed on the face of the unsmiling "God of War". He turned around and waved his arms violently to the gathered compatriots without saying a word, but soon cheers broke out from the crowd.
came out, and immediately after, more waves of cheers spread all the way down Mount Olympus, reaching the foot of the mountain where tens of thousands of civilians gathered, and together they turned into a sound whose meaning was completely indistinguishable.
Little Paopao, who was playing with Reimu, cried on the spot...
The cheers lasted for a full half hour, and the Atlantis people almost lost control of their collective emotions. The people in Gensokyo all fell into severe tinnitus and insomnia for the next 48 hours. When we left the top of the mountain and teleported back to the transport mother
When transporting the ship, Yakumo Blue even fell off the teleportation platform in a daze.
We all thought that her sensitive fox ears were the culprit of this severe reaction, and the fox girl herself soon developed a magical skill: before she could raise her hand, she learned to directly control her ears and
Folding the ears in half is, of course, a story later.
Gilgamesh, who was dragged away by Ding Dong and Cirno before, was also dragged back by the scorpions from an unknown corner. The poor girl seemed to have suffered a very serious ravage. Although her appearance had been repaired by magic power,
Her mood was obviously very unstable. During this period, she tried to fight with Cirno many times, but I beat her back with a knife. At the same time, Shandora and I expressed serious concern about her stupid hair that had grown to three, and Shandora
La also judged from the taste that the other party had gone through the transition from raw to cooked and then from cooked to raw at least two or three times. At first, I didn’t understand why it was Ciruno who obviously froze Dingdang, but was struck by lightning in the end.
The most serious thing was this girl with shining gold, but when the other party sighed in a tone like Xianglin's wife, "I should really change my clothes before that idiot ice spirit takes action." After that, the truth finally came out: she was dressed in glittering gold.
Too much of a lightning rod.
This may indicate that even in junior high school physics, Gilmei did not study it seriously.
The star ring fragments have been recovered. 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, including the fragments that Sandora and I personally took action.
Three or four, and the total number of star ring fragments discovered by other expeditionary forces during their missions in various worlds has reached more than a dozen, but those fragments combined are not as large as the one that hit Mount Olympus this time.
Seriously, and there's a reason for it.
Before this, the debris we collected from other worlds all crashed into huge planets without exception, and caused extremely serious disasters, such as biochemical crises. Although such global disasters are terrible, they are equivalent to releasing,
It alleviates the abyss energy on the fragment. 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 fragment itself, which makes our recycling work much easier. The Atlantis star ring fragment is different. It hit a place rich in psionic energy during its heyday, even if all the
When all the power is unleashed, it can only contaminate an area the size of a giant city at best. Coupled with the heroic and fearless resistance of the Atlanteans and the powerful suppression ability of the city's psionic energy pipe network in the early stages, the abyssal reaction of the fragments is considerable.
Most of it was suppressed inside and did not break out.
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 high-concentration energy fluids (except psionic energy), the abyss propagates the fastest.
Fast, the most efficient, and the craziest effect, followed by physical matter. Many physical matter can only be infected by contact. However, thin energy clouds and material clouds or vacuum environments will greatly hinder the infection of the abyss (only relatively speaking)
), which caused the fragment of the star ring to crash into Atlantis at the beginning. Although it once crashed through the shield of the floating island, it did not leak much to the outside world. Atlantis responded quickly afterwards.
The barrier acts as a "protective wall of the reactor", which in turn confines the abyss inside it - Shandora associates it with the steamer with appetite, that girl has such a good mouth.
The combination of these various reasons directly created an unprecedented and original abyss infection for us.
This made Shandora and I anxious for a while, but a heartless coffin controller expressed inexplicable excitement: Tavel thought that he had finally found the most rare and rare research material in the world, a person with almost no experience.
Abyssal aggregate with great attenuation. She could see with her own eyes how such a dangerous thing was restrained and purified by psionic energy, and she could also make a more accurate graph of the gradual decay of the abyssal reaction under the action of purification power. Later,
It was once one of the most important scientific research results of the empire. It was listed as the highest intellectual wealth in the empire's central database. It helped the empire kill at least four-digit abyss gates. However, as the empire fell apart, this thing was no longer the same as the old empire.
The real-name online ticket purchasing system of the Planar Transport Center has turned into a regrettable legend, and now Tavel feels she has a chance to reshape history - in theory.
However, according to the general rule, she is more likely to reshape her research institute in a blaze of flames due to some "side effects" of scientific work before reshaping history. Maybe I have to consider letting that research maniac go to hell this time.
