His arrival seemed to add new energy to this weak light, and the crawling pseudopods and claws in the darkness faded under the brighter light. He raised his head and looked at the person across the short chess table, his beloved,
His family, his teachers, the few beings who could capture his humanity from the grand calculations and dehumanizing models. He opened his soul to the people across the chess table, and every memory he had was as dazzling as an aurora.
, the person across the chess table browsed through every memory of his, including his plans for the future, as well as plans to achieve those things that are theoretically impossible. Each plan is larger than any human brain that has had its self erased.
The memory it can carry and the changes derived from each key node are no less than ten million, and its possibility even far exceeds the critical value that can be simulated by this chess game.
The Supreme Mage covered his eyes with a shabby gray cloth, which to some extent is a metaphor for the Supreme Master's current situation. As a person who is proficient in prophecy, he can only blindly speculate on the future at this moment. In all deductions and simulations, the distance is far away
Memories washed over the minds of the Supreme Mage, and the dark storm gathered around them, squeezing the range that this weak desk lamp could illuminate. Beyond the dim light, there was endless abyss and chaos, and eternal disorder and heat.
Silence, they swore to fight against endless terror forever and win a future for the human race. They swore to fulfill their duties forever, and even death could not stop their pace. December 1995 - for another dimension, this is not
What does it mean, but for the Supreme Mage, it means seeing hope - the children who accept the mission and are born are destined to experience countless sufferings and betrayals.
"Camelot is doomed to fall." The Supreme Mage took a long breath. Her voice was choked, as if she was accepting all the sins. The past history is irreversible, and the Supreme Mage has chewed every decision over and over again in these thousands of years.
Even everyone's motives and expressions, hoping to find any evidence that can support their ideals. Even now, the Supreme Mage knows that his decision to destroy the giant beasts is not wrong, but for Camelot, such ideals are still too much.
Too early. "This is a historical necessity. I am not qualified enough to bear this responsibility. You can do better than me, my dear child."
"What happened in the past cannot be changed, teacher, we have simulated it thousands of times." The emperor said, "Moredre is your warmaster, and he will eventually rebel. Do I disturb you in reminiscing about the past?"
"What's your answer, my dear child?" said the Sorcerer Supreme. "You are far wiser than I or anyone else in the world, and you have the ability to suggest ways to avoid a battle at the sword fence."
"Why do you seek my advice?"
"Because I am afraid, afraid of living up to my responsibilities. Expelling the giant beasts is not all of my responsibilities. There are many terrifying things that threaten this young race."
"What would you do for me?"
"everything."
"You have paid, my teacher."
The Supreme Mage swept the chessboard away, and the chess pieces rolled and fell into the darkness.
"Time is on my side, kid. I have no choice. I can't stop the storm from coming."
"You have a choice."
A burning sword edge appeared out of thin air in the emperor's hand. He stood up, and the spiritual radiance emanating from his body illuminated a large open space. He stretched out a hand to grasp the palm of the Supreme Mage, and an extremely powerful suction force drew his back.
He dragged him towards the endless darkness behind him. The Supreme Mage rarely saw such an expression on his face. It was a true and heartfelt emotion.
"Whatever is controlling you, I will banish it for eternity. Forgive me for my rare irrational decisions, I will protect your soul, and you will be eternally free. I swear on my true name that nothing can stop me.
Practice this.”
"No, I am not explaining my death, dear child." The Supreme Mage blinked, "I am explaining your death."
Night falls.
The dark clouds in the sky of Kama Taj continued to rotate, and purple-red lightning burst out from the clouds and then crashed down. The downward-squeezing evil storm penetrated the protection, and the heat generated by the collision between the broken runes was comparable to a solar flare, like a star.
The flashes of light gathered in the clouds and then fell. The ashes formed by the ether flash burning the rocks were floating in the air, forcing the mystics to stand together and cast spells to resist the strong wind and high temperature ether. The last barrier in the courtyard flickered at a frequency that the human eye could not accept.
The white-gold runes floated in material form, wandered and then fell at the feet of the mystic. While dizzy, Wanda Maximoff could barely identify the words "expulsion", "identification", "exorcism", etc. from the incomplete runes.
The meaning of the rune is that this barrier does not prevent others from entering on the physical level, but expels etheric malicious spirits from the non-material level.
The heat on the ground under the feet of the Praetorian Guards was as if the entire planet was burning. Their armor could easily isolate this terrifying heat, but the exquisite reliefs of the armor were still covered with a thin layer of ashes from burned rocks.
Master Daniel told others that a battle was taking place in the courtyard that they could not intervene in. It was a purely psychic confrontation. Under the urging of the Praetorian Guards, Master Daniel could only begin to describe what he saw with his second vision.
Da Maximov and Athena did not need anyone else's narration, because they themselves could see what happened in the ether storm.
He saw a psychic spear emitting the heat of a solar flare igniting from a lighthouse on top of a majestic palace floating in the void, crossing the asteroid belt and stabbing into the ether vortex. However, such a powerful force could not cause ripples in the ether vortex.
, only the more violent ether storm responded. The curtain of the material universe was being continuously weakened. The ether storm in Wanda Maximoff's eyes gradually overlapped with the layers of dark clouds above Kama Taj, and the crimson
Lightning showed some light from the clouds, and then disappeared. Then, she saw a wide orange-red spark across the sky, from one end of the horizon to the other end of the horizon.
The planetary defense system activates on its own.
This is the most powerful planetary shield in the galaxy, and there are few forces in this world that can break it.
As the white linen belt was buckled, his sight was also blocked by a blindfold.
His arms were close to his chest, like a pharaoh lying in a tomb. His legs were also tightly bound by fastened leather straps. His shoulder muscles were stiff, and his elbows and knees could not move at all. He felt that his elbows could not move because of the blood.
It was smooth and swollen, and the arms and shoulders ached due to the binding of the uniform.
"You wouldn't be able to leave this place without me. You know that's what could have happened if I hadn't been there to greet you in that parking lot."
The nurse turned off the lights in the room, and the pale moonlight passed through the iron bars of the narrow window and climbed up the rough cement wall.
"Your talents are too powerful and the world is not ready to accept you. You know, humans will fear you, even if what you want to do is good for them. They do not deserve your loyalty. Humans are short-sighted and ignorant, and will
Falling down repeatedly on the same problem. You know that you cannot make them have the same long-term vision as you. My dear child, your spirit and body are deeply integrated. You know that losing control means killing everyone in this city and even the entire planet.
People. This alone is enough to make them feel fear, even if you use an appearance that can make them kneel down and surrender, it will not help."
The raven-like long hair was spread over the snow-white uniform, and the rough cloth rubbed against his skin, making him feel quite uncomfortable. But this external discomfort did not affect his thinking, and the Supreme Mage did not look forward to it.
He could hear his reply because the Supreme Mage knew that the latter was casting his empty gaze behind the blindfold into a longer-term and more confusing future.
"No one will believe your warning. They are too stupid and too short-sighted. You know what I said is the truth." The Supreme Mage stepped forward, pressed down the restraint bed and laid it flat. "Let's take a look at Number One Thousand One
One hundred and thirteen futures." The Supreme Mage said, "You will understand that what I say is the truth."
Wanda Maximoff hesitated, but she couldn't help but tell Athena what she had discovered.
"Something is wrong. I have seen the defensive palace and fortress built by the teacher in the ether dream, as well as the lighthouse. Although these are metaphors, I understand the role of those metaphors." She pointed to the dark clouds in the sky and the dirty clouds.
There is a ray of white light unwavering in the purple thunder. "Now the ether behind the curtain has begun to affect reality. I think that light is the light released by the lighthouse in his memory. I can feel it."
"You're not wrong, Wanda Maximoff."
As Tatyana's team arrived, some heavier equipment was also moved to the square in front of the seventh hub courtyard. At this time, the mystics led by Daniel Mage were behind the prefabricated fortification boards, fighting with the battle sisters led by Tatiana.
Stay together. The Praetorian Guards stood next to Wanda Maximoff, as the person who knew Athena's true identity, but neither Amon nor Amphitryon was in the mood to focus on Athena.
On this dangerous target. When hearing Wanda Maximov's story, the two guardsmen immediately confirmed her statement.
"That is indeed the glory of my lord." Amphitryon said, "but now is not the time to carry out the next mission, Ms. Maximov."
"Mission, what mission?"
"When the situation calls for it, you need to go into the courtyard to stop the spread of the storm." Amphitryon said, "My Lord believes that the power of the automatic operation of the planetary defense system cannot meet the defense needs in the face of this etheric storm. Master Daniel will
Take you to Karma Taj's control hub, where you will temporarily maintain the planetary defense system and increase its operating power to maximum."
"Why didn't I know about this mission?"
"You know, just for the sake of confidentiality of the operation, we deliberately made you forget this part of the memory."
Amon spoke a code word.
After hearing this word, Wanda Maximoff immediately recalled her conversation with the Emperor on the assault transport ship, as well as the knowledge that the Emperor had given her, including the operation methods and keys of the planetary defense system.
.This method of secrecy is extremely common in the Praetorian Order, especially when it comes to high-security defense systems such as the planetary defense system. Almost all information will be stored in the frozen cellar of the Eternal City, and no words or even memories will be included.
Allowed to be taken out from inside. She glanced at Athena beside her, who looked as eager to fight a war. Obviously, Athena knew that the task she received was not only to maintain the planetary defense system, but also to
It's a small part of a much larger plan.
Wanda Maximoff belatedly took out a bottle of liquid from the small bag on her waist.
Golden mead, this was the name of this liquid in her memory.
