Chapter 3353 The Trial Of The Fool (One Hundred and Fifty-Six)
Chapter 3353 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Fifty Six)
When the witch's clone said this, Elaine was actually not too surprised. Because Elaine had heard similar remarks when she was in the database on the fourth underground floor of Atlantis - from Bei who was controlled by the system.
I've heard about it from Lee's mouth.
The power of the seal gradually weakens, and the time for [Heart of Disaster] to break free of the seal is coming. The moment things get out of control is only a matter of time.
Before that happens, they (the Atlanteans) must choose the right person to completely eliminate the [Heart of Disaster].
"Really, is it really possible? If we eliminate it..." Elaine groaned, "You will also be eliminated, right?"
"The number of Atlantis that can be detected by the system is 1, that is, [Lisanna, the Daughter of the Sea] sleeping in front of you." Lisanna's clone replied: "Other than that...
Creatures, they are no longer Atlanteans, they are just beings whose body and mind have completely deteriorated."
"But, they are still lives..." This is what Elaine can't let go of the most: "If, if [Heart of Disaster] is eliminated, they will all die, right?"
"Even if [Heart of Disaster] is not destroyed, they will die. As long as [Heart of Disaster] completely devours and assimilates the stars of Atlantis, they will die. You can't save people who can no longer be saved."
"So... where is Lisanna?" Elaine asked again.
"She is ready to wake up." The clone crystal replied: "The people of Atlantis have been threatened by the [Heart of Disaster] for hundreds of thousands of years. It is time to make a decision. Although the people of Atlantis will
Destruction, but [Heart of Disaster] will also march towards destruction with us. We must not allow it to continue to exist and threaten the protoss of Terra (terra, Earth). If [Heart of Disaster] escapes from the seal,
If the protoss of Terra begins to be devoured, even this planet will be destroyed. That is something that must never be allowed to happen."
So, did the Atlanteans choose to sacrifice themselves to protect the planet...
Sublime is indeed sublime, but Elaine is tired of hearing this argument about who must be sacrificed to protect whom.
"I, I'll think about it." Elaine just said perfunctorily: "Just thinking about it, what, I don't guarantee anything. I, I just came to see my father."
"The old robot passed here." Lisanna's clone replied: "His wish is [to be sealed]. This wish is consistent with the goal of the system, so the system let him pass without blocking. Now he should
Hide in the core of the system."
(...Old robot?)
Elaine thought to herself, how "old" is Bors. Bors was created seven years ago, and he is a brand-new mithril golem created by Master Merlin using the most advanced technology. From the appearance
You shouldn't be called "old" internally. It's really strange.
No matter what, the whereabouts of Boles are finally known. Now we only need to consider how to get to the location of the core...
"I won't force you. But I hope you think clearly. [Heart of Disaster] is a scourge to the entire world and must be eliminated now. The seal of Atlantis cannot wait for another thousand years. It cannot happen now.
, is to miss it forever. If you miss it, Atlantis will sink to the bottom of the sea again. The seal will be unlocked when it is at the bottom of the sea, and the [Heart of Disaster] will become unstoppable and start to encroach on this planet.
"
"Will this planet be swallowed up by it so easily?" Elaine questioned: "You, didn't your history say that that thing fell from the sky and relied on meteorites to tear the gap in the star before it invaded the interior of the planet?
"
"Yes. This is the fastest way to annex a planet. Its ancestors also relied on the same method to destroy planets one after another. They used meteorites carrying their spores to severely damage the planet, invade from the wound, and finally explode the planet.
And rely on the explosion of the planet to continue to spread their descendants to other corners of the universe.
But this is not the only way. Even if there are no gaps caused by meteorites, it can still find weak parts of the planet - trenches, deep valleys and craters - to invade the interior of the planet. [Heart of Disaster] is of such a bad nature
monster."
The white lion boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Be careful." The witch's clone warned again: "If you really plan to eliminate [Heart of Disaster], Atlantis's defense system will definitely not sit idly by. This is contrary to its mission, its mission
It is to maintain the operation of this city and allow the residents of this city to continue to survive. The defense system will do its best to stop you.
But at the same time, Atlantis also has another backup system - the self-destruction system. It is your friendly army.
The self-destruction system will only be activated when the seal is about to expire. It will override Atlantis's highest control authority and render the defense system ineffective. At that time, it will become your most loyal ally.
In addition, you have many enemies. Those degenerate creatures you call [stalkers] will not just sit back and ignore all this. In order to survive, they will do their best to stop you."
The white lion boy's ears twitched.
"You, if you say that..." He lowered his voice and asked, "Is the conversation here safe? No one can eavesdrop, right?"
"Don't worry. I have set up a barrier in this building. From the first floor to the tenth floor, everything is within the coverage of the barrier. If other creatures break in, our conversation will have been terminated. I will not let those deteriorate.
Creatures are aware of our intentions, even though they may have already somewhat guessed them."
"Are they, are they that smart?"
"Their bodies and minds have long been severely degraded, and they are no longer the same as the Atlanteans of the past. But in order to survive, they may become more cunning. Wisdom and cunning are not necessarily directly proportional. I suspect that [disaster]
[Heart of Disaster] also had a certain impact on their bodies and minds. The star spirits of Atlantis and [Heart of Disaster] have been integrated so closely that it is difficult to distinguish each other. Maybe [Heart of Disaster] has become these degenerates.
The spiritual base of living things, it controls these [stalkers] subconsciously just like a mother controls her children."
The clone crystal paused for a moment.
"Anyway, don't be careless. Someone is coming. They are testing at the entrance. I have been talking to you for too long. They may have noticed something. It's time for you to leave."
"Okay, okay..." Elaine turned around and left in a hurry. When the witch's clone said this, Elaine suddenly felt that the city was full of dangers and there were ambushes everywhere. He was a little worried about Bailey who was left in the big house.
Waiting for someone.
"Go find that person." The witch's clone told the white lion boy who was leaving: "Thousands of years ago, I asked those degraded creatures to take him in. But after all, he does not belong here, and he is not willing to be trapped here forever.
He will definitely be your helper."
"he?"
"You will understand when you see him. He is in this city and is a foreign object here." said the witch.
Elaine hurriedly said goodbye to the witch and ran downstairs. He slowed down when he almost reached the first floor, in order not to let the group of stalkers guarding the first floor see his anxiety.
Unexpectedly, several stalkers had been waiting there for a long time. When they first saw Elaine, they said to him: "Guest, have you seen the witch?"
"See, I've seen it." Elaine tried her best to show a calm expression and replied.
"Miko, what did you say?"
"Huan, welcome me, etc." Elaine tried not to mention the matter of the Heart of Disaster.
"It's just a welcome, how long have you been talking about it?"
"Han, we just exchanged pleasantries. I want to know more about the history of Atlantis, so I just bothered the witch for a while." Elaine replied.
He knew that he was a bad liar. He just hoped that he could fool him by saying this, and that these stalkers were not as smart as they thought.
If these guys knew that the Witch had given Elaine the task of destroying the Heart of Calamity, and if they knew that the demise of the Heart of Calamity meant their demise, these half-human, half-fish monsters would definitely attack them at all costs.
Let's stop Elaine from moving forward. They will not hesitate to kill Elaine. They are not part of that "system".
"Okay. Guest, come to dinner?" the leader of the stalkers suggested.
"Yes, but I'm not hungry..."
"Your friend has already participated." The weirdo said again: "I must come and entertain you. The way of hospitality."
What a troublesome thing. The white lion boy wondered in his heart. Could this be what the stalkers had planned from the beginning? To use the banquet to hold back Elaine and his party and prevent them from moving forward?
The food at the banquet...could it be poisonous?
He tried hard to smile. It would be impossible not to attend this kind of dinner. If he did not attend, it would attract the attention of the stalkers and even anger these weirdos. If they attacked in groups, Elaine would not be able to resist it.
What's more, Bailey and the others have already gone to the dinner party - I'm afraid they are also forced to attend the dinner party. It's better to find a way to join Bailey and the others now.
Elaine is also very concerned about "that person" mentioned by the witch's clone. She said that he is a stranger here and was taken in here a thousand years ago. Does Elaine really have to find an old man who has lived for a thousand years to help? That's the case.
What else can the old man do to help?——
Helplessly following the group of stalkers, Elaine was brought to a square. The group of stalkers had already started a ritual like a festival around the huge coral light pillar in the center of the square.
"Oh, big brother, this way!" Bailey spotted Elaine and waved his hand from a distance.
"You, how come you all ended up in a place like this..." Elaine complained at the same time as she walked over to join Bailey and others.
"There is really no way to refuse them." Edmund replied: "Is this considered, um, do as the Romans do?"
"Anyway, be careful." The white lion boy warned in a low voice when other stalkers were not nearby.
"Don't worry, I have a silver needle here that the Vikings used to test poison. If there is something wrong with the food, I will test it first." Edmund also lowered his voice and replied.
It seems that Edmund and the others have not relaxed their vigilance and have been guarding against this group of stalkers from the beginning.
At this time, the group of half-human and half-fish weirdos also danced around the bonfire. The so-called bonfire was actually the huge glowing coral pillar in the center of the square. They even baked food next to the coral pillar, using its heat.
Let's grill crabmeat, fish and the like.
…It’s almost like a primitive society.
The Sea Royal Clan, which used to be so great that it could rival the ancient God-Human Clan, has now declined to this level. I always feel a bit sad...
At this time, someone was holding a large stone plate filled with food and walked towards Elaine and his group.
At first, Elaine thought it was another stalker (albeit smaller in stature), but when he pushed up his glasses and saw the person approaching clearly, he realized that it was actually a stalker even more bizarre than the stalker.
