Todd, who was lying on the ground and breathing heavily, looked at the wounds on the dragon's wings with anger and confusion in his eyes.
Commanding the gryphon to land next to the black dragon, Evie, holding a bow and arrow, quickly walked to Todd's side and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"
"The wound has stopped expanding, but it's like being poisoned here. The pain and weakness cannot be eliminated." Todd folded the dragon wings with difficulty: "There must be something wrong with that red spear, even if it is the regenerative mutant strengthened by the tyrant.
Yes, there is no way it will work."
Looking up at the sisters circling and investigating in the sky, Evie clenched the bow in her hand: "It's not safe here, we must leave here immediately."
Todd tried to flap the dragon wings, but the huge pain made him unable to maintain his balance, and he growled unconsciously.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to fly anymore." Todd said to Evie: "Using the plastic power, I can compress the dark matter in my body and return to my human form, but this process will take some time."
Evie nodded: "I will let the battle group of Rongka Fortress be responsible for the escort work."
Todd sat on the ground, his whole body emitting a light blue light, and hot steam spurted out from the gaps in the dragon's scales, filling the entire forest in an instant.
An hour later, Todd, who had regained his human form, sat up from the ground without a trace, and stumbled towards the edge of the forest.
Evie, who had been staying by Todd's side, quickly put the blanket she had prepared on him and helped him climb onto the gryphon.
Todd moved his arm in pain, and looking from behind, there was a shocking wound on his back.
Todd, who looked pale, said to Evie: "Tell the Chapter Leaders of Froststone to preserve their strength as the top priority. I will allow them to shrink their troops and abandon some peripheral strongholds."
Ivie nodded, conveyed this instruction to her subordinates, then turned over and mounted the gryphon, holding Todd in her arms and flying quickly towards Froststone City.
The first thing after returning to Froststone City and getting off the gryphon, Evie asked the Valkyries to carry Todd back to the bedroom on the second floor of the small building. After asking Deirdre to take good care of him, she hurried to the temple.
Go find Minnie, the shaman who is proficient in herbal medicine.
Gently stroking Deirdre's crying cheek with his fingers, Todd, who was lying on his side on the bed, said softly: "I'm fine."
Listening to the hurried footsteps of several people on the stairs, Todd gently shook Deirdre's hand and said, "Help me sit up."
Deirdre asked with red eyes: "Are you sure? But your wound?"
Todd shook his head slightly and motioned for Deirdre to help him.
Just as he sat up, Todd saw three people walking in from the bedroom door.
Two of them are Evie and Minnie.
The remaining person surprised Todd very much.
Wearing a coat made of crow feathers, the woman's smile was like a ray of bright sunshine, but her voice was as cold as the cold wind on a snowy day.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you in human form. When I first saw you, I was still a little uncomfortable." Meredith smiled at Todd and said, "How is it? Did you not expect it to be me?"
Todd shook his head helplessly, and the pain from the wound on his back made him frown slightly.
Minnie said to Todd: "When you just set out for the north, she arrived at the temple and has been waiting until now."
Todd sighed: "When Scathach gives me this kind of task, you really should warn me of the dangers I may encounter."
Meredith smiled and said, "Didn't my master send me here? But I didn't expect you to leave so soon."
Evie put her right hand on the sword handle, staring at Meredith's every move, and asked vigilantly: "When we were downstairs, did you tell me that there was a way to treat this kind of wound?"
Meredith pointed to the wound on Todd's back and made a pleading gesture.
Todd signaled Evie to calm down with his eyes, and then nodded to Meredith.
The latter slowly walked to the bedside, and under the gaze of a room full of people, he stretched out his right hand, palm upward, and said to Todd: "Put your hand on my palm."
Todd did as he was told.
For a moment, Todd's consciousness was sucked into an unknown space.
A huge and majestic crystal city stands in the sky, shining brightly in the sunlight.
In the air dozens of kilometers away from the city, nearly a hundred steam-driven steel battleships were arranged in an assault formation, speeding toward the city.
Driving close to the city, the battleship let out a shrill whistle, and the hull slowly turned, with its side facing the city. As the black gun doors were opened, thousands of blazing light prisms shot out from the muzzles, striking.
Hitting the aqua-blue protective shield over the city, it caused ripples one after another.
Under the constant blows, the city in the sky made deafening sounds of earth and rock cracking. Large rocks and buildings disintegrated and peeled off from the edge of the city.
In the end, the city in the sky could no longer withstand the attack. The protective shield was broken in an instant. The light beams of the steam battleships directly hit the streets, gardens and sculptures of the city. The beautiful city was amidst explosions and flames.
, slowly tilted and fell towards the earth.
Just when Todd was stunned by the scene before him, a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"It may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to build a civilization. But it only takes one day to destroy it."
Todd turned his head and saw Scathach staying in mid-air, staring intently at the city falling to the earth.
"Is this...your soul space?" Todd regained his composure: "You buried the soul seed in Meredith's body? So, I can enter your soul space through her?"
Scathach did not answer Todd's question, but pointed to the broken crystal city: "That is the Linglan Empire, an empire with highly developed arts and medicine."
After a pause, Scathach continued: "As a forerunner, I am the first race to participate in the creation."
Todd was a little confused: "A race that you participated in creating?"
"As the manager and creator of the universe, Jingsu has a huge biological gene bank. As the first batch of creations of Jingsu, the forerunners must cooperate with Jingsu to select suitable fragments from the gene bank to create
Bring out other living things and complete the work of observation and supervision.”
Scathach watched the city in the sky fall to the ground, making an earth-shattering noise, and a huge sandstorm swept the entire space instantly.
"Although Jingsu's ultimate goal for these created creatures is only to pursue the experimental results, as pioneers, we have our own ideas and preferences." Scathach shook his head and said: "We are responsible for assisting
We have put all our efforts and emotions into the race we designed and created. Whether it is appearance, character, or wisdom, we all hope to create a perfect race, but we have forgotten one thing..."
Todd closed his eyes and said helplessly: "War."
Scathach looked at Todd, with infinite sadness in his eyes: "At first, we didn't understand at all... In the infinite living space, creation and collaboration are things that everyone can benefit from, why are there races?
, keen to seize everything through such stupid means as destruction?"
"Our beloved races were destroyed one after another, and among the genes of those races that finally survived, only tyranny, suspicion, possession and madness were left. The winners, who had nothing else to destroy and devour, turned their sights
He aimed at his own compatriots, and went further and further on the road of killing each other and seeking death, and finally the entire universe returned to peace."
Scathach turned towards Todd, with a strange-looking red spear in his hand.
Looking at this familiar weapon, Todd asked in shock: "This is...?"
"The name of this weapon is Dead Silence, and it originally belonged to the militants who destroyed the Linglan Empire. It is composed of an extremely special silicon-based biological material that can lock on the dark energy wavelength of specific organisms and use planetary gravity as propulsion
force to carry out tracking strikes against targets."
Scathach looked at Todd and said word by word: "This weapon will not only attack the enemy, but also attack itself if used improperly. If I were to use one word to describe it, perhaps it should be a curse."
"I once gave such a weapon to Cu Chulainn. My original intention was to let him understand the essence of power - it can make you gain everything, but it can also make you lose everything. However, he may have been addicted to power.
"I forgot everything I said back then..." Scathach lowered his head and whispered: "He has only exerted less than one-tenth of the power of this weapon. So, Todd, while everything is still possible,
It's too late to stop him before he makes a bigger mistake..."
The space dissipated, and Todd's consciousness returned to his body in an instant.
Looking at the smiling Meredith in front of him, Todd was still a little immersed in the astonishment just now: "Scathach told me..."
Meredith interrupted him: "After you left, my master thought twice and was worried that you would be at a disadvantage against Cu Chulainn, so he sent me to give you something."
Taking out a long object wrapped in linen from under the Crow Feather cloak, Meredith slowly opened the linen, and the true appearance of the hidden object was revealed, making Todd take a breath.
It was the weapon Scathach showed him in the soul space - Dead Silence.
