Chapter 3337 The Trial of the Big Fool (One Hundred and Forty)
Chapter 3337 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Forty)
"Disaster, the heart of disaster...?" After hearing this, Elaine groaned: "It's really an exaggerated name."
"It seems to be an alien creature." Bailey directly denied it, pointing to another mural: "The monster with a meteorite-like shell can create a major wound on the planet. And then it drills in through that wound."
Underground, reaching deep into the planet. It swallows the planet's energy, photons, and everything. In the end, only a dead planet is left."
The mural painted a somewhat unsettling scene. There were many twisted things extending from a cracked sphere. At first, Elaine thought it represented the "sun", and those twisted things were solar rays. But it seemed that was not the case at all.
Something happened.
...The twisted things are tentacles. And the cracked sphere is the planet that is being destroyed. If you understand this mural in this way, everything suddenly becomes scary.
"Originally, the Atlantean colonies were spread all over the galaxy, and even if the home star was destroyed, it would not have much impact." Bailey continued to translate: "But the Atlanteans gradually discovered one thing: their earliest
Those alien colonies began to die for no reason. Many people fell to the ground and died for no reason. Their destruction was not the destruction of their bodies, but the destruction of their souls."
"Spirit, soul?!"
"They called it [the decay of the soul]. They were the first race among the ancient races to experience [the decay of the soul]. It was not until the residents of twelve alien colonies were completely wiped out that they found the reason. The reason is natural.
It's...the death of their mother planet."
"Why does the death of the home planet lead to the death of people who immigrated to other planets?" Daniel was puzzled: "They have already left the home star, are they still connected?"
"It seems so."
Bailey pointed to the next mural. There were many creatures with vague human outlines on the mural. They made painful postures, and many people fell to the ground, seemingly dead.
"It was their home planet that was destroyed by the [Heart of Disaster]. In other words, it was the [Star Spirits] of their home star that were destroyed.
[Star Spirit] is an aggregation of spirit bodies on that planet. As long as a person is born and raised on that planet, his soul will definitely be connected with the Star Spirit, no matter how far he travels.
Creatures born from a planet actually have a shared destiny with that planet. Neither can survive without the other. If one is destroyed, the other will also be destroyed.
When they realized that the destruction of the planet Atlantis meant the destruction of all Atlanteans, they were eager to find a countermeasure.
The countermeasure is to destroy the [Heart of Disaster] and return the [celestial spirits] it has swallowed."
Daniel shuddered: "How on earth should we destroy that kind of monster? It's obviously a monster that can directly destroy the planet?"
"They... turned to the [Holy Sword Race] for help. They got the [Holy Sword]." Bailey turned his attention to another mural, which showed a humanoid creature holding an instrument in his hand.
But rather than saying that it is a [sword], it is better to say that the instrument is a hammer. The shape of that thing looks like a hammer, right?
"Holy, what is the holy sword race?" Elaine asked: "Yu, are there still so-called holy swords in the universe?"
"The Holy Sword is made by the oldest and most ancient race, the Astrovers, who can transcend dimensions and avoid the destruction of the universe countless times. It is a holy object with thoughts. The existence of the Holy Sword is for
Maintain the balance of the universe and delay the destruction of the universe - even if the destruction of the universe is inevitable.
The Holy Sword is always hidden in a corner deep in the universe. It only appears in front of those in need and selects its users. The person who obtains the Holy Sword is called the "Sword Master" and shoulders the mission of maintaining the balance of the universe.
, the Holy Sword is passed down from generation to generation... until the universe is destroyed.
And when the universe is on the verge of destruction, the star travelers will return from the high-latitude world to the dimension of this universe and pick up the holy sword.
——It seems like this." Bailey stuck out his tongue.
"Holy sword..." Daniel thought.
He has heard of several sword masters, although he only heard about it. The universe is so big, but there are so many sword masters on the earth. It is really unbelievable. Of course, are those "sword masters" actually the sword masters?
It is not clear whether someone becomes a sword master only after holding a holy sword, or whether someone is named a sword master without authorization.
"First, don't worry about the Sword Master and the Holy Sword. What happens after that?" Elaine continued to urge: "They used the Holy Sword to destroy [Heart of Disaster]? Hai, did the Hai Royal Family survive? One, it must be
Did you survive?"
Otherwise, the Sea Royal Family would not have come to the new universe with other parliamentary races, and even created the ancient city of Atlantis on this earth, right?
"The answer is, and no." Bailey stared at another mural that was quite abstract and almost no one could understand its content. "The Holy Sword destroyed [Heart of Disaster]. But [Heart of Disaster] and Pandora Star
The star spirits of Atlantis have been so closely integrated that there is no way to separate the star spirits from it. Therefore, the Holy Sword's destruction of [Heart of Disaster] is only a superficial elimination. If the Heart of Disaster is completely destroyed, Asia
The star spirits of Atlantis were also destroyed, and then all Atlanteans were wiped out.
Instead, they sealed the [Heart of Disaster] that had swallowed up the protoss... and sealed it forever with the power of the Holy Sword.
A small amount of photons leaked from the seal will become the "nutrient" for the survival of the Atlanteans. But because the number is very small, the Atlanteans will never be able to maintain a large population and become a small group in the galaxy.
Minorities."
"But they still survive. Their numbers are sparse, but they still survive." Daniel groaned: "I wonder if the Neptune clan is extinct now? But since other ancient people have become extinct, the Neptune clan should not be able to escape either.
Bar?"
"They didn't say." The blue fox boy looked at another mural, which showed the outline of an ancient city. In a blank space in the center below the ancient city, there seemed to be some kind of ball-shaped thing with tentacles.
"Well... since they couldn't really destroy [Heart of Disaster], they brought it to the new universe. Just... sealed it in the deepest part of Atlantis?"
"He, they are crazy!" Elaine exclaimed: "Did they bring that kind of terrifying thing to the earth?! Other ancient people actually let them do this?"
"Other ancient people may not know the secret history of Atlantis. No. Maybe someone knows, but acquiesces to this matter." Daniel shook his head: "There must be some shady deal in this."
"But, this is too outrageous, isn't it?! If the seal of the Heart of Disaster is lifted, won't it destroy the earth?"
"Is it really that easy to destroy the earth? In the previous story, that thing fell from the sky like a meteorite, used the wounds caused to the planet to invade the core of the planet, and then destroyed Atlantis. Now it does not have this condition
"But Daniel analyzed calmly: "Furthermore, since the Sea Royal Family has been destroyed, I think there is no need for this [Heart of Disaster] to continue? Maybe it can be eliminated now."
"To the travelers who have arrived here." Bailey looked at the last stone tablet and translated: "No matter why you arrived here, accept the trial. Before touching the indescribable source of destruction, prove that you are
Have this qualification.
Then—whether it’s [Destruction] or [Inheritance], just act according to your heart.”
"A test, a test..."
Elaine seems to gradually understand that there are so many dangerous institutions in the Atlantis underground city, but they all seem to have some kind of attack method, and they do not use unreasonable and strong methods to reject outsiders.
Atlantis's defense system even spared Elaine a small life each time without actually killing him.
But except for Elaine, many people who broke into Atlantis in the past have died.
Why do others die in this ancient city, and why does Elaine receive special care?
"Should I be grateful to that system?" Elaine groaned. This is all too ironic.
"No. The system thanks you." Bailey said quietly.
"……ha?"
"Thank you for providing the biological sample to the system. Your sample was proven to be compatible with [that thing], so you were pardoned from death." Bailey continued, with a chilling tone: "Others
Intruders only have one chance to challenge. And you have been given countless times. All because you are so special."
The white lion boy's face tightened, and he gradually felt that something was wrong: "You, who are you? You are not Bailey! Who are you? Are you controlling Bailey?!"
"This boy's brainwaves are quite active, and he allowed us to communicate with you, thus opening the communication channel." The little fox said quietly: "However, you have noticed the existence of communication. The communication protocol is about to be invalidated."
"Give Bailey back to me!!" Elaine said angrily, ignoring what the mysterious will was saying.
"As you wish." Bailey said, suddenly stopping. He fell down weakly like a puppet with its strings cut off, and fell down on the seat of the cavalry.
"B-Bailey?!" Elaine became nervous.
"...Don't worry, he just fainted." Daniel checked the little fox's breathing and found that everything was normal: "Was he being controlled unknowingly? Was it because he was trying to decipher the inscription?"
That kind of inscription is hypnotic enough, maybe it really is.
"I, let's leave this place quickly." Elaine said urgently. Although there are no enemies here, he doesn't want the fainted Bailey to stay in the underground maze of Atlantis for a long time.
The two men accelerated their pace and pushed the iron cavalry deeper into the maze. The luminous inscriptions around them gradually extinguished their light, leaving only a guide that seemed to be a road, letting them know which direction to go. They didn't go far.
From a distance, they saw the exit of this floor, a metal cylindrical building emerging from the ground. Needless to say, the road inside was a spiral staircase extending downwards.
"What a pity," Daniel turned to look at the database: "I also want to know more about the culture of Atlantis."
"No, don't interpret the inscription. If you are also controlled, you will be in trouble." Elaine pushed the cavalry into the entrance of the stairwell.
"I don't think I have the ability to decipher that kind of inscription." Daniel couldn't help but smile bitterly, and followed Elaine into the stairwell.
As before, Elaine found a place to park the cavalry, placed the teleportation device on the ground, and opened the teleportation gate. He hugged the unconscious Bailey and ran into the teleportation gate, not even caring to follow him.
Daniel behind him.
The three teleported to the surface of Atlantis, next to their camp.
"Back? So soon?" Queeg was still preparing lunch, and the smell of vegetable soup and grilled fish lingered around the camp.
"Uh, um, Bailey felt uncomfortable, so he accelerated his trip." Elaine replied, placing the little fox on the floor covered with animal skins: "Bailey? Bailey, wake up?"
"I'm... fine." The blue fox boy slowly opened his eyes: "Ouch... my head hurts... what happened?"
"You were unknowingly controlled by the system of Atlantis." Daniel replied: "Do you remember what happened in the end?"
"I remember...I was interpreting the inscription and saw a mural...a mural of the Blue Planet?" Bailey replied.
Isn’t that the original inscription? From that point on, Bailey was controlled and became the system’s mouthpiece!?
As a result, Bailey actually did not translate anything himself. Most of the information he said was deliberately revealed to Elaine and the others by the system.
"So...did I help, big brother?" the little fox asked, "please praise me?"
"Praise, praise you. It's amazing, Bailey." Elaine still smiled and reached out to touch Bailey's head.
