A behemoth with a width as wide as an aircraft carrier exploded at high altitude. It shot out endless light and heat. Tens of thousands of debris fragments swept towards the earth like a violent storm. Those fragments with strong kinetic energy could not be stopped.
Less than a saturation bombing, in just a few seconds, the entire forest was filled with deafening roars and carpet-like chain explosions. In such a violent storm, everyone was unable to see or hear.
Smell, as helpless as a small boat in a tsunami.
But the divine barrier left by Leah proved the achievements of the goddess of creation in the face of such an impact. Although the sky was shattering outside, the barrier itself still did not waver at all. Although the people inside were greatly frightened, but for veterans who had experienced many battles,
I mean, at least frightened people can't die.
After everything finally calmed down, the entire land of scorching fire had changed beyond recognition. Except for a small area covered by the divine barrier, the surrounding ground had dropped by more than two meters. The fragments of the Gorgon Lord's remains were scattered among the huge
In the impact crater, they still carried an astonishing high temperature, and were distorted to the point where their original appearance could not be seen at all. The astonishing power of the self-destruction was evident.
Perhaps this self-destruction is even one of the offensive methods of the Gorgon Demon itself.
Lily was so frightened by the big explosion that her ears and tail popped out. When Charlemagne and his party didn't notice, she quickly put it back, then turned her head to search for Hao Ren: "The landlord's explosion this time was so lively.
...Speaking of which, what about the landlord? He won’t be blown up along with him, right..."
Vivian glared at the dog girl: "Don't make trouble. With the nature of his job and his personality, he can die in any way in his life, but he can't be blown up."
As if to verify this conclusion, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Hao Ren's voice coming from behind: "That is, Vivian still understands me..."
Vivian quickly turned around and carefully checked Hao Ren, who had just stepped out of the teleportation beam, up and down: "Are you okay? Why did it suddenly explode? Is this your original plan?"
"What's the plan? If I really want to kill that thing, why would I have to go in there myself? It would be easier to just call Nolan out and clear up the grudges." Hao Ren coughed and spit out a mouthful of black smoke, although he was not involved in the explosion.
, but he inhaled a lot of the exhaust gas that came with the portal. "It was a complete accident. This thing was so angry that I just touched it and it exploded... But it's okay, there are two Gores in total."
As for Lord Gong, there will be one left with Leah..."
As Hao Ren spoke, he looked up at the giant insect-shaped Gorgon Lord in the sky on the other side of the forest. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw a series of bright electric lights suddenly flashing on the surface of the giant insect leader.
Then red flames burst out from the alloy monster.
"...whole corpse..." Hao Ren said the last two words out of habit, and then jumped three feet high, "Why did this explode!!"
Lord Gorgon's self-destruction was like detonating a battleship at close range, and the entire scorching land was once again ravaged. After the smoke of the explosion finally dissipated, Leah was already standing in front of Hao Ren.
"I don't know what happened," the little goddess of creation looked a little embarrassed, "I just patted it casually a few times, and then it completely shattered..."
It turns out that she did not cause the Gorgon Lord to self-destruct, but simply because she failed to control her own power?
Hao Ren sighed: "Hey... don't say anything. Go back and do all the big questions at the end of Lesson 3 of Self-Control..."
Leah suddenly looked hopeless, but then she quickly added as if she remembered something: "But I brought something out! Although I don't know what it is for, I think it should be important!"
Hao Ren was stunned: Something that Leah intuitively thought was important?
"What is it? Let me see quickly!"
"That's it...it's installed in a place that looks like the main control room. I don't know how to dismantle it, so I just cut it off along with the surrounding shelves," Leah said as she opened the different space.
Putting a large piece of metal debris that had obviously been violently dismantled in front of Hao Ren, "Do you think it can still be used?"
It was a metal structure about half a meter high, with a roughly complete, hemispherical silver-white main body, and a large number of cables and brackets extending along the main body. Although it had been treated roughly, the general structure seemed to be still intact.
Very intact.
At this time, Charlemagne and Evanna finally calmed down from the state of shock. They stared at it for a while, and then looked at the large twisted and tangled metal block thrown out by Leah in confusion:
"This is... something taken from the Gorgon Lord?"
"Yes, their stomachs are also made of metal," Hao Ren said as he squatted down next to the wreckage with an excited expression. The thing that Leah brought out was a surprise, because the data terminal was almost
In an instant, it was scanned that there was a structure similar to a memory and a reader inside the device: this was the storage device that Hao Ren had not been able to find in the "manta ray" before. "Let me see...it looks very strange from the outside."
Complete, maybe it can still be used! Terminal"
"I understand, this machine is just a hard worker..." The data terminal muttered as it flew to the metal debris and established a temporary data link with the latter. "There is no way, who can make this machine perform better?"
...Hey, this thing is a bit interesting, let me study it carefully..."
Seeing the data terminal just starting to analyze the wreckage in the scorched earth, Evana couldn't help but look nervously at the dark forest in the distance: "Are we... just going to start work on this battlefield? Why don't we find a hidden place first?
…”
"It doesn't matter. After the death of Lord Gorgon, all the splinters were paralyzed. In addition, the previous battle expelled all possible monsters nearby. This place is much safer than other places," Kaim's voice came from the side.
Come, he looked curiously at the memory wreckage on the ground and the data terminal lying on the wreckage, "What is this...?"
"Do you mean this brick or this iron bump under the brick?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "This brick is my personal equipment, but don't call it a brick, it has a bad temper; and this lump
The iron knot was removed from the Gorgon lord's body."
"The...organs inside the Gorgon Lord?" Kaim said with disbelief in his eyes, "I have never...seen such a thing."
Hao Ren felt incredible: "You have been dealing with Gorgon demons for so many years, have you never obtained similar samples of wreckage?"
"The ones wandering outside are usually the middle and lower-level units of the Gorgon demons. Lord-level guys rarely leave their nests without permission. Every time a Lord-level Gorgon attacks, it's a tragic battle," Kaim frowned.
He frowned, "And even if we can get rid of it, it will be completely shattered in the self-destruction, and the remaining parts will be burned to the point that it cannot be analyzed at all. Therefore, in the long war, we can capture very few lord samples.
Two Gorgon lords died here today, which is simply a fantasy."
"In my opinion, these so-called Gorgon demons are actually out-of-control ancient weapons, and our World Tree Temple is particularly good at dealing with such 'relics'," Hao Ren shook his head, "But these are hard to explain to you...
Terminal, did you analyze anything?"
"Damn it, you just said that this machine is a brick and a brick, how can it help you do so many things!" The data terminal flew into the air with resentment, and suddenly projected large swaths of garbled code and completely indistinguishable images.
Fragment, "Most of the data was destroyed. It was expected. The database was scrapped, the controller died, and the program was chaotic. That's why the actions of these 'Gorgons' were so irrational. However, after removing most of the garbled codes, this
The only piece of useful information I found was the machine.”
Hao Ren's eyes lit up: "What information?"
"Judging from the log time, it should be the last external communication record received before these Gorgons lost control." The data terminal said while presenting the information:
"... has been completely wiped out. The enemy forces are approaching Telk Star Fortress. This fortress will self-destruct after xxx... After that, you will be the last soldiers.
"...Glory to Emperor Tiamat, long live our people."
There were only two incomplete sentences, like last words, which made Hao Ren couldn't help but frown: "Is this the information?"
"This information is already better than nothing," Vivian said beside her. "At least we know that the so-called Gorgon Demon is indeed an out-of-control weapon left by an ancient legion, and we also know that they once had a 'mention'
Yamat the Great'."
Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head without any hope to look at Charlemagne and his sister who were listening to the Book of Heaven. "I guess you don't know what Emperor Tiamat means..."
However, what surprised Hao Ren was that Evana actually showed a hesitant expression: "Well, actually... I have indeed heard of this name..."
Hao Ren didn't expect to hear any valuable information from the other party, so he was shocked: "...What?! Have you heard of it?"
"In the royal library of Ys, there is an ancient elf prophecy book passed down from generation to generation by the Ys royal family, called the "Origin Record". It says that the world has been destroyed twelve times and reborn twelve times, resulting in
The culprit who destroyed the world twelve times was the great tyrant from the ancient times, the source of the origin. The tyrant was named Tiamat. He had a body like a mountain, and molten copper and lead flowed in his veins. From the day he was born,
He was filled with rage from the beginning, and self-destructed due to rage. In his final rage, he issued the twelve most vicious curses on the world, and each curse caused the world to be destroyed once..."
"Twelve times?!" After listening to Evana's story, Hao Ren's eyes widened, "That's really what the book said?!"
"Yes...yeah," Evana was startled, and her tone couldn't help but weaken a bit, "That's what the Origin Record said, but even though it was stored in the Royal Library of Ys, it was
Classified as 'strange stories', they are derived from the primitive religious beliefs of the Elf Empire in ancient times. These absurd and uninhibited statements are not recognized by scholars."
"Is that so..." Of course Hao Ren would not believe Avina's last few words, but from those few words, he could also judge that even if there are still specious prehistoric stories like "Origin" in this world,
The records may have been mixed with myths and legends over a long period of time, and twisted into anecdotes that are completely impossible to sort out, so there is no interest in continuing to inquire further.
