Chapter 228 Beyond the Edge of Mortal Civilization

The stars have returned, the stars have left their positions, the stars are running leisurely in the sky, and they are shining coldly on the world, completely unaware that a large group of mortals have been busy with their feet in the sky under their guidance, and in the end they have achieved nothing.

The ancient gods did not return, and the prophetic day of judgment did not come, although everything that happened before it perfectly confirmed those prophecies - such as the great waves in the endless sea, such as the influence of "O" in the stars The special energy fluctuations released under the sky, such as the frequent sound of the whispers of the gods - but in addition, the crucial final step, the step where the Lord of the Storm wakes up from the deep sea, has not yet occurred.

The Lord of Storms is the only god remaining in this world, and if he does not wake up, then the day of judgment will be out of the question.

Everything seemed to be a joke, but the "culprits" who contributed to this embarrassing situation, the "God Eaters" in the deep sea, knew nothing about it.

In the depths of the endless sea, which has been blocked by storms all the year round, the ancient city of siren "Antaveen" stands quietly at the place where it made a forced landing. It is slightly inclined and embedded in a rocky seabed near 6 places. Part of it reaches the "Great Trench", while the other part gradually rises along the topography of the seabed, until about one-tenth of it protrudes out of the sea and rides on the 6 that is called "Io 6" by the sirens. the edge of the land and formed a spectacular steel city wall along the coastline.

Sirens are indeed accustomed to living in the deep sea, but on this planet with a large area of ​​6, they have gradually learned how to survive on 6-of course, they will not build large-scale cities on 6 like humans. , but in order to mine resources and monitor the situation of the "jumping engine", they built a series of outposts and strongholds on the west coastline of Io 6, and the largest of them is the "seafront" directly opposite the "steel city wall". From the observation tower of this stronghold, you can directly see two-thirds of the entire "steel city wall", which is an important monitoring post here.

The "steel city wall" is actually the stern wall of Antavien. In the earth-shattering forced landing countless years ago, Antavien fell straight down from the atmosphere. The technicians tried their best to make almost full power. The lost starship adjusted its falling posture slightly. In the end, the ship brushed the edge of the 6th land at a thrilling angle, and directly sent this piece of land about a quarter of its size into the deep sea, and the starship After being seriously damaged, it slid into the sea along the Big 6, and finally formed the current situation where one end is near the trench and the other end is on the edge of the Big 6.

The structure of the ship was almost completely destroyed in the process,

But the stern was well preserved - this is the greatest luck, at least the jump engine with the most complex structure and the most difficult to repair has been preserved.

But the Kraken soon discovered that even if the engines were in good condition, they couldn't get the spacecraft to lift off - let alone lift off, even the most common machinery on the spacecraft became inoperable after the disaster. It took a long time after that before they realized that it was a "fault" caused by different physical laws.

Since that day, the Krakens have been working hard to learn and adapt to the rules of this world. They seem to have returned to the initial moment of lighting up the lights of civilization. They have to adjust their life forms to adapt to this world-but soon they find , this kind of "start all over again" actually requires more than one time.

The world is constantly shuffling...

But it doesn't matter, the exhibition of civilization can't be smooth sailing, and the Krakens have become accustomed to the difficult situation in this exhibition.

Queen Petia of the Kraken arrived at the "Seaside Lookout". She stood on the high watchtower and looked at the steel city wall on the coastline, and the energy pipelines on the steel city wall were lighting up one by one - the core fusion tower has been Started up.

With the opportunity of the "surge" of the big squid, the Krakens collected enough engine fuel in advance, and the re-ignition of the core engine was carried out smoothly, but the technicians did not hold much hope for this ignition, because they still Several key issues in the magic conversion process have not been resolved, but Petia doesn't care about them.

Ignition failure has not happened once or twice. All sirens are accustomed to this, and Petia is very clear that even if the ignition fails, the technicians can collect valuable technical information from this process - these experiences and based on experience The natural law that is summed up is the most precious wealth.

Sirens are not a very intelligent species, and they are even called "sluggish" at some point, but patience and optimism are their greatest reliance.

In the process of starting the core fusion tower, a siren attendant entered the top floor of the watchtower, her snake tail was crawling, and she came gracefully behind the queen: "Your Majesty, General Vanessa just reported that there is a famous The Tidemaster named Tyr is gone."

"Tyr?" Siren Queen Petia frowned, "I seem to have a bit of an impression..."

"It's the child who walks in a strange way..." replied the attendant, "the one who walks like a sea caterpillar."

"Oh, then I remembered, she's always lazy," Petia turned her head with an unexpected look on her face, "She didn't sleep at home?"

"No, she's missing," the squire said solemnly. "She hasn't appeared since the last time she fought those mad humans."

Petiya shook his head: "Maybe he died, and then chose the wrong coordinates when he was resurrected. The last battle was very chaotic. Several sisters who died in battle were even resurrected in the Southern Ocean, and it took more than a month to return... …”

The attendant sighed: "Even if she swam back from the Southern Ocean, she should have arrived, unless she 'arched' all the way back on the seabed in that strange walking posture, then she should still be halfway there."

"Send a search team to start a search centered on the last battlefield, and send some people to the strongholds of those mad humans on the edge of the sea to check to see if our Tide Master was accidentally caught by those humans... Although this possibility is not high, if it is Tyr, I really can’t say.”

The attendant bowed and said, "Yes, Her Majesty the Queen."

Petia nodded, and after the sergeant retired, she turned around again, and her eyes fell on the winding steel on the coastline in the distance.

At the same time, in the hidden temple of the Eternal Sleeper Order in the Typhon Empire, nightmare bishops in black or white robes were gathering in the central hall, and a low and solemn atmosphere lingered on everyone.

"Children of the Storm and the Society for the End of All Things have each received news. Our allies have suffered varying degrees of loss due to the early launch of the 'Ultimate Plan'," said a nightmare bishop, his voice sounding low and cold, "Compared to Our losses are minimal."

Another bishop added: "In addition, there is information from the observation point set up by the children of the storm at sea, and they have observed an unexplainable phenomenon - the tide has risen, and the power of the gods has begun to surge in the deep sea, but it is very difficult. Soon everything calmed down uncharacteristically."

"So we can't blindly deny the 'prophecy'," the third bishop said. "All the signs are in line with the description of the first half of the prophecy, but there is a slight deviation in the final result, perhaps because of some force that we don't know yet. Fulfillment of prophecy..."

The first bishop's voice was obviously mocking: "Who can interfere with the recovery and return of the gods?"

"The sea area where the son of the storm observed the vision is located in the extreme east sea," the second bishop said immediately, "it is close to the territory of the siren."

"Sea-Monster...that group of ghosts in the deep sea..." A black-robed bishop who had never spoken suddenly broke his silence, "It is said that they destroyed a pioneering area of ​​Children of the Storm last time..."

"In my opinion, the children of the storm are not trustworthy at all," someone else said. "Perhaps it was their observation of the stars that went wrong that caused us to encounter this setback..."

Before the bishop finished speaking, a low, gentle but irresistibly coercive voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Enough."

The bishops closed their mouths in awe. They turned in a certain direction and bowed their heads respectfully: "Your Majesty the Pope."

A blurry shadow appeared out of thin air at the end of the hall. This blurry shadow seemed to scan the scene around the people. Although the eyes were completely invisible to his face, everyone felt a sharp gaze coming from him. He swept across his body and mind, and everyone became more and more in awe.

And this vague shadow said lightly: "Don't forget our career - in front of our career, this is not a setback at all.

"Each of us has anticipated this - that prophecy exists, but it is not the only one guiding us, it is only a factor, and whether it will come true or not will not affect our plans.

"Starting the Eternal Dream in advance is just an insurance measure to prevent it from being too late, and we have not gained nothing in the process."

The Pope of Eternal Sleep deliberately paused before continuing: "The first operation of the Eternal Dream produced a large amount of measured data, which will help us to finally improve this huge plan, and I, in the process of observing the Eternal Dream, It has far more potential and uses than we imagined."

The bishops were slightly agitated, and they looked at each other, obviously curious about what the Pope had said.

The Pope did not let the bishops wait too long, and he quickly announced his decision, which surprised everyone: "Three days of rest, after three days, the eternal dream will restart."

There was a low voice of discussion at the scene, and a bishop immediately reminded: "Your Majesty the Pope, there are still many imperfections in the Eternal Dream..."

"It can only get better...and evolve when it's running," Pope Eternal Sleep interrupted the bishop, "After careful observation, I discovered this, and I discovered another thing... "

The bishops fell silent, and they heard the pope's voice:

"I found that the huge computing power brought by the Eternal Dream is the key to decrypting Gawain Cecil's memory fragments. During the last operation of the Eternal Dream, those memory fragments showed signs of loosening, and they seemed to be able to parsed.

"Nightmare bishops, get back on your feet, we still have a lot to do - gather your lower-level nodes and prepare to analyze Gawain Cecil's memory fragments, we must find out what he - is. !"
