The familiar feeling of dizziness struck again. This time it lasted much shorter than when he entered the illusion. Hao Ren just felt that his eyes were slightly darker. When he stood on the ground again, he noticed that the surroundings were once again on the silver platform.
The view.
The huge golden disk was still floating in front of his eyes. Leah was standing on his left, Remendusa was standing not far away, and Vivian was on her right, looking over with wide eyes curiously.
own situation.
Hao Ren suddenly opened his eyes, startling Vivian: "Wow!"
Then she waved her hand: "I just saw that the three disks have dimmed, but you two haven't woken up yet, so come and see the situation."
Hao Ren covered his forehead and woke up: "Oh... I just stayed in the illusion for a while longer."
"Dizziness, dizziness, dizziness..." Leah also woke up at the same time as Hao Ren. Since it was an illusion she opened with her own divine power, even she, a true god, felt the same dizziness as Hao Ren, and it was obvious that she was quite interested in it.
Because I'm not used to it, "I won't play like this next time..."
Hearing Leah's voice, Hao Ren turned around and glanced at the goddess of creation, who also happened to shift her gaze. The two of them just looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Thinking of what I saw in the fantasy before, I always feel that no matter what I say at this time, it is inappropriate... Why don't I ask the goddess if it still hurts my heart?
Hao Ren thought about it and decided that it would be better not to commit suicide at this time.
"You two..." Vivian looked at Hao Ren and Leia curiously, and immediately felt that there was something wrong with these two people, "What on earth did you do? Did you enter that 'illusion' together? What did you see in the illusion?"
What is it?"
As soon as Hao Ren was about to speak, he caught sight of Remendusa who was standing not far away and looked over with curiosity. He immediately suppressed the answer in his throat into several coughs: "Ahem, the situation is similar to what I saw last time. Look back.
Let me tell you more in detail."
Leah also nodded with a straight face: "Yeah, what we saw is the same scene Hao Ren saw before, it's not a big deal."
The two of them were not lying. What they saw was indeed the scene that Hao Ren had seen when he first entered the illusion, but this time they changed from a first-person perspective...
Although she felt something was wrong, Vivian still cooperated with Hao Ren and changed the subject: "Oh... what about the situation of the golden disk?"
Hearing this, Hao Ren and Leah felt relieved at the same time, and they did check the cause of the golden disk failure before leaving the illusion, so Leah nodded and replied: "It should be able to operate normally this time.
"
Remendusa took a step forward, bowed and asked: "Mother, the previous malfunction was because..."
"The memory of the gods disrupted the original program of the disc," Leah spread her hands. "Part of the fragments of my consciousness are attached to the disc. Although the amount of the fragments is very small, it cannot even be called a ray of longing, but
Due to its extremely high level, it still interferes with normal program operation. Now that I have recovered and cleaned up those fragments of consciousness, the disc should be able to operate normally."
Remendusa showed a relaxed expression: "That's good. In this way, the Creation Engine can complete the final assembly."
"Let's do it now," Leah said after a moment's thought. "I happen to be here too, so I might as well see this thing completed with my own eyes."
"Yes." Lemenduza accepted the order and immediately began to arrange various preparations for reinstalling the three golden disks and restarting the Heart of God and the Creation Engine.
The white platform moved to a track closer to the surface of the Genesis Engine to facilitate Leah's close observation of the engine startup process, and the three golden disks floated towards the huge opening on the back of the engine under the influence of the tractor beam, and
With the assistance of a series of construction machinery, a large number of cables and substantial light flows were pulled out from the inside of the engine, and were connected one by one to the interfaces on the edge of the golden disk, as well as to the "Heart of God" floating near the crack.
The entire connection process is still carried out outside the Creation Engine - although Leah is certain that she has solved the "fault" of the golden disc, such a large-scale project must be done with enough caution, in order to avoid other unexpected problems.
Under the circumstances, Remendusa had no intention of inserting the Heart of God into the engine until the entire connection process was successfully completed.
The tense waiting process also eased Hao Ren's embarrassment after learning some truths. He looked at the group of machines being assembled in the distant space and felt that his mood was probably the same as that of an operation and maintenance man who finally got to go home on vacation.
It's the same thing when people look at the server room before leaving their posts - I really don't want anything to go wrong with this thing...
Driven by the tension, he even rarely called out the name of Raven 12345 and prayed: "Don't let anything happen. I am willing to use Raven 12345 to explode three times on the spot in exchange for the successful conclusion of this project..."
Vivian, who was standing nearby, was stunned: "As a pope, are you embarrassed to pray like this?"
"It is written in the Bible that prayers with sincerity will lead to success. The point of this matter is not to say something nice, but to say something from the heart," Hao Ren explained seriously, "And the most important thing is that I am here anyway.
She said she couldn’t hear it either…”
Vivian: "..."
On the other side, the connection between the Heart of God and the Creation Engine has reached its most critical moment.
All the connecting equipment had been prepared long ago, and the only thing missing from the entire system was the golden disc. Now everything has arrived at their respective positions. With Remendusa’s order, the last energy pipeline
Connected to the energy core of the Creation Engine.
"The physical connection is ready, the energy core is ready, the connection of each component has been confirmed, and each monitoring point is checked for the last time..."
On the white platform, the stiff broadcast sound from the foundry AI sounded. As various reports came in, Remendusa looked in the direction of Leah.
The little goddess of creation was calmer than ever before. She nodded gently: "Let's light the fire."
"The boot command has been issued, the Genesis engine is ignited!"
It was a spectacular and magnificent scene.
The pale golden shell of the Creation Engine took on a hazy virtual texture like mist at that moment, and then condensed into a solid body again, with streams of blue-white light flowing rapidly through the gaps in the alloy land, making
The entire artificial planet brightened like a heart that was rapidly filling with blood, and during the flash of light, this originally lifeless thing actually gave people the illusion that "it was a living thing."
Immediately afterwards, endless brilliance radiated from the surface of the Creation Engine. The light overwhelmed all the starlight in the vast universe, but it did not make people feel the slightest glare. Hao Ren felt that an unparalleled power was washing over him.
If this power exerts its power, it will not only be enough to wipe him out, but even be enough to kill a true god!
However, this power was controlled. As the ignition process progressed smoothly, the endless brilliance quickly converged. Hao Ren saw that the substantial light returned to the shell of the Creation Engine in the blink of an eye, and
At the moment when those lights faded, he suddenly saw a phantom-like scene in the dark space background behind the Genesis Engine.
The space there was shaking, and uncertain things emerged. A dark red planet appeared in the space. The planet was covered with a large amount of twisted and proliferated keratin and flesh. In the defects of the earth's crust, many complex things could be seen that were constantly running.
The size of the machine is almost the same as that of the Creation Engine, but it exudes a strong aura of destruction and decay that is completely opposite to the vitality of the Creation Engine.
Then the ominous celestial body faded away, and a pale figure appeared there. She had almost the same appearance as Leah, but there was no trace of emotion or warmth on her face. She looked at Creation indifferently.
Looking in the direction of the engine and Hao Ren and others, a voice echoed directly in the latter's mind across time and space: "...It's meaningless."
All the images finally disappeared completely, and the trembling space returned to normal again. Remendusa, who was about to sound the alarm, looked at this scene in astonishment, and asked in a daze: "Mother, this is..."
"It's just resonance, as I expected," Leah said softly, "The engine of the Goddess of Destruction has indeed been completed... and our engine has the same source as it, so some phenomena will inevitably occur after starting it."
"Hey, the attitude on the other side is quite aggressive," the voice from the data terminal suddenly came from the side, "I don't understand the reason that the faster you go, the faster you die. I really thought that after merging with the Crazy Lord, I would be invincible.
——I was born at the wrong time. When I came off the production line, I became the main engine of the Eternal-class battleship. At this time, I just made a snarl in her face. My mother didn’t even recognize her..."
This guy suddenly appeared and Hao Ren was startled: "Fuck...when did you get here?!"
"You came here when you were talking about blowing up the boss." The data terminal shook its body, "Damn it, you just left as soon as the portal opened. This machine wanted to catch up, but it was a step too late and fell behind.
In your daughter's hands, the fish almost had its shell ripped open..."
Hao Ren: "...You didn't record just now, did you?"
"Why are you nervous? You are not the only pope in the entire universe who is talking about sacrificing our God every day," the data terminal said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, is this Creation Engine thing... considered a success?"
The eyes of several people then fell into space.
The pale golden man-made celestial body was floating quietly in the dark space, filled with surging energy, and covered with a layer of glow.
It was once designed to delete all divine power in the universe, but now, after Leia's reprogramming, it has become a weapon that can break through the defense of the Lord of Madness and launch an attack on the prison of the dark abyss.
"This ace card is already in hand," Leah said softly, "Soon... the main show will begin."
"We need to go back to the surface world first," Hao Ren said to the data terminal, "I need Raven 12345's help with something."
