After defeating the two death knights, Kangna and Bastion moved along the long ascending corridor and finally arrived at a wide hall that seemed to be made entirely of ice.
The ceiling of this hall is at least twenty meters high, with giant chandeliers decorated with sharp ice hanging down. The surrounding walls are made up of twenty translucent ice walls spliced together to form an approximate cylindrical shape. The ground
It is made of completely opaque pure white ice cubes, and is covered with an ink-colored carpet with a sharp corner protruding from each ice wall. The entire hall looks crystal clear and bright, like a perfect ice sculpture.
artwork.
Facing the corridor in the hall is a huge high-backed throne, on which sits a lovely girl wearing a golden crown, an ice crystal dress, and fluffy blond hair. She is dozing on the throne with her eyes closed.
On one side of the armrest rested a large sword with strange runes, and on the other side, there was a little snowman with his hands open and a grinning expression.
"...This sister, I have seen before." Kangna opened her mouth and said this.
Beep beep! Bastion tilted his head and stared at Kangna, as if he wanted to express his contempt.
"If Anderson or Bass were here, they would never doubt my words." Connor looked at the fortress, temporarily interpreting its attitude as a question, and explained.
There is no doubt that this ice castle and the Sleeping Beauty on the throne are exactly the scenes depicted in the painting that Marcus "created out of thin air".
Speaking of which, I didn't check those paintings further because some annoying guy was causing trouble. Now that I think about it, Mr. Carl should still be alive. With such a bionic person accompanying him who is more of a son than a son, his later life should be happy enough.
And can create more excellent works...
Wait, the blue bald woman with long tentacles that the old gentleman drew that I saw that time was not Asari?
After this mission is over, you can consider retrieving Mr. Carl's recent paintings. Although this kind of aimless "predictive painting" may not be of any use, but what if?
Now...Kanna looked at the task "Talk to the Lich King" and took a step toward the throne.
The next moment, the action suggestions that had been dormant suddenly appeared:
[There is something here that occupies an area of subspace beyond its visual range.]
【You have come into contact with this existence.】
[Are you sure you have come into contact with similar existences before, but this one is different.]
【It...is more ancient.】
[It doesn’t seem to notice your presence. Maybe it is sleeping, or maybe you are not enough to arouse its interest.]
【Maybe you should leave.】
【Your choice is:】
[Try to communicate with this being. (Model)]
[Try to communicate with this existence. (Rebellion)]
【Try to communicate with this being.】
[Let the fortress communicate with this being.]
【Leaving subspace.】
Is there any difference between the first three items? And how do you communicate with others in Bastion’s way of speaking?
In addition, it actually provides the option of "leaving the subspace". If you refuse to communicate with her, you can return smoothly?
But that won't solve the problem. Saren and Benacia are still in a state of enlightenment.
In this situation where you don’t know which option will lead to what consequences... the best choice is naturally...
"I want them all!"

Earth... Although the scene is blurry and difficult to identify, there is no doubt that it is Earth, the home planet and capital of mankind.
The familiar cities are the same as in the memory, but they are subtly different.
They contained thick smoke rising into the sky, the remains of buildings and human corpses.
Even blocked by the curtain wall of flames and smoke, Kangna could still see countless human corpses lying on the street, being dragged by other moving corpses, and eventually becoming other moving corpses.
[Your future.] A girl's voice without any emotion said.
The ruins of the city were covered with corpses, and the sky was filled with indescribable monsters. It was a huge monster that seemed to be a mixture of sea urchins, octopuses and lobsters. It dragged billowing smoke trails and slowly but unstoppably descended towards the planet.
surface.
Am I witnessing one of countless possible futures?
Kangna didn't know how to communicate, so she just thought in her heart.
[It is not one of countless, this is a destined future, as certain as the sun will inevitably rise, this is your destiny.] The girl responded.
After this scene of doomsday lasted for a while, it suddenly dissipated and turned into a disturbed gray mist.
The next moment, this gray mist turned into a dazzling Milky Way composed of countless galaxies.
It is both macroscopic and microscopic. Kangna can clearly see the movement of galaxies and the birth and death of species at the same time.
In the process of the continuous movement of galaxies and the continuous birth and destruction of species, a certain pattern appeared in Kangna's eyes not in words, but in the form of intuitive impressions caused by countless reincarnations.
Organic civilization will inevitably be born in the galaxy,
Organic civilization will inevitably create mechanical civilization,
Mechanical civilization will inevitably destroy organic civilization.
Syllogism...Kanna muttered to herself.
【exactly.】
The girl answered.
【Always like this.】
The galaxies turned into gray fog, which dispersed and gathered again.
The new sight was very familiar to Kangna. It was the Reaper battleship she had escaped from not long ago.
However, it is not one ship, but countless ships densely packed together.
These black battleships, which looked like lobsters and squids, were neatly arranged in the deep shadows. If their "red one-eyed" hadn't opened occasionally, Kangna would have been almost unable to find them in the darkness.
Then, a golden light passed by.
That golden light was almost nothing compared to the huge Reaper battleship, but the tiny blue thunder and lightning wrapped around it still attracted the "eyes" of many Reaper battleships.
The golden stream of light flashed away, and stimulated a very small-scale void oscillation at the place where it disappeared.
This slight fluctuation, like a pebble thrown into a pond, caused almost no lethality, and many Reaper warships directly affected by it did not even move.
However, those Reaper battleships that had opened their "eyes" and been staring at the golden stream of light started to move.
They slowly broke away from the team, colliding with each other as if to say hello, and went to explore the location of the golden streamer together.
Maybe they found something, maybe they didn't.
The final picture was that the same blue electric current surged from the Reaper warships gathered at the place of disappearance, and then disappeared one by one.
The gray fog dispersed again, and Kangna realized that she had just taken a step forward, and it seemed like it only took a moment to watch the series of illusions before.
[Mission completed: Talk to the Lich King.]
