After focusing on the colored gemstones, Harold had a different feeling than the previous one.
"Amber" allowed him to observe the development of the situation from the perspective of a bystander as if he was watching a movie, while "Colorful Gem" completely "sucked" his mind in.
Then, he saw the entire Milky Way.
It is an extremely huge silver disk composed of countless stars. It is thick in the middle and sparse at the edges. The closer it is to the edge, the more unsustainable the shape of the "disk" is. In the end, the stars spread to the point where they can still be called
When it reaches the maximum extent of the Milky Way, it has been roughly divided into four long cantilevers. However, the cantilevers are disconnected. Unless observed from the perspective of the entire Milky Way, it is difficult to discover its shape.
What he saw from the surface of the gem before, the intertwined "blue" and "crimson", was now dividing the Milky Way into two parts with unclear boundaries. The starry sky in half of the Milky Way was blue, while the starry sky in the other half of the Milky Way was blue.
The background is red.
If nothing else, this should be just an exaggerated expression. If the color difference is really so obvious, humans, or other civilizations in the Galactic Alliance, must have discovered it long ago.
But...what does this have to do with my future?
After being shocked by the panoramic view of the Milky Way, Harold began to have doubts.
Could it be that Ms. Gu Yi wants to show how to "protect the dimension"?
The next moment, Harold's "perspective" began to zoom in toward the Milky Way.
It is not a "falling in". From the perspective of changing to a "map" with a different scale every time it is pulled in a certain distance, it is more like "zooming".
Milky Way, star cluster, nebula, galaxy, planet, surface.
After several zooms, Harold's "perspective" reached the surface of a certain planet, and he could clearly see the gravel and gravel on the ground.
Perhaps, this is some desolate planet?
Harold was guessing that the "lens" had gradually lifted up from being vertically aimed at the ground and pointed at the sky. Then, he saw the black battleship that almost blocked the sky.
This period is not dusk. A weak star is at the top of the sky, but the light it shines is blocked by countless dark battleships that look like squids and lobsters. In addition, it diffuses from the sky to the surface.
Whether it was clouds or fog, the red mist made the whole scene look like the legendary hell.
Before Harold could figure out what was going on, a big hand wearing a golden glove appeared in front of him, grabbed his collar and pulled him up from the ground.
Wait? Harold's eyes widened. Why does this illusion have a main body?
He subconsciously turned his head and looked around, and then discovered that the "camera" was no longer fixed. To use game terminology, the "cutscene" had finished playing, and now the player controls the time.
The "self" at this time was a man wearing a white cloak and casual clothes - but the light green hair that was spread down to his shoulders was a bit suspicious.
"[You look surprised, Doctor,]" the owner of the big golden hand raised Harold in front of him and said in a language he had never heard before but could somehow understand: "[The 'Time Stone' is really a good thing.
, but you may have forgotten that as the 'Lock of Heaven', it is impossible for you to escape the perception of the 'Soul Gem'.]"
The "person" who spoke had no hair, purple skin, a huge chin, a strong build, and wore a set of golden and dazzling giant armor. The hand that was not carrying "Harold" also carried a giant double blade.
sword.
Harold noticed that the giant glove on his hand was inlaid with four bright gems of red, purple, blue and orange. Even to Harold, a layman, these gems must contain something.
Power beyond imagination.
"You won't...succeed." Harold heard "himself" say intermittently.
Bang! The purple giant threw "Harold" to the ground.
"[You always have a way to make me angry,]" the purple giant moved his gloved hands: "[I will eventually succeed, no matter how many times it happens.]"
"[Huh...huh...]" Harold raised his hand and grabbed his necklace.
"[Before you run away again, I have to show you someone.]" The purple giant raised his hand slightly, creating a dark tunnel around him, and then, another person with a similar shape to the purple giant, but slightly shorter.
A giant walked out carrying a man.
"[Jill!]" "Harold" heard himself exclaim, and then the entire field of vision was instantly covered with a layer of gray fog. About five seconds later, the gray fog shattered into pieces like broken glass.
The person had somehow reached the hands of "Harold", and the purple giant also changed its posture.
It was a blond man wearing gorgeous golden armor. To be fair, he could be said to be quite handsome, but the armor full of cracks, bloodstains and dust and the disheveled hair made his appearance a lot worse.
"[I didn't let you escape,]" the purple giant slowly retracted his posture to defeat something, "[This is the 'Iron Man' you have high hopes for, or in other words, the 'Golden Man'?]"
"[Jill...]" Harold called softly while touching the blond man's face and helping him trim his hair.
Unable to look away or change his movements, Harold could only pray that this cutscene would end soon.
"[Make it clear,]" the purple giant said: "[If I snap my fingers, half of the civilized creatures in the galaxy will indeed be wiped out, but which one of you two is a 'biological creature'?]"
"[...]" "Harold" was silent for a while: "[If I still don't cooperate, you will beat Jill to death, right?]"
"[I had a hundred reasons to beat him to death, but I didn't do it, which should be enough to express my sincerity.]" The purple giant walked up to "Harold" and stretched out his big hand to him.
Buzz——
Harold saw "himself" spreading his hands, and the necklace he had been holding began to glow green. Then, an ordinary emerald inlaid on it suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
"[You won't succeed.]" The green-haired man took off the gem and placed it in the purple giant's hand.
"[Then it's not something you should worry about,]" the purple giant took the gem, clicked it on his glove, and then stood up: "[Goodbye, enjoy your last time.]"
——AD.2159.5.14——
Moon base.
The next moment, all the illusions Harold saw disappeared, and in front of him was the Ancient One who was giving him two gems to choose from.
"[How is it?]" she asked: "[Have you seen the results of 'stay' and 'come with me'? Don't worry about those little naughty guys, they actually like new friends."
