The longer he stayed in the world of Kolo, the more frightened Hao Ren became at the secrets buried in this strange space - at first, he just thought that this was an ordinary alien space sandwiched between the dream plane and the table world, but as he went deeper, he discovered the legacy power of the goddess of creation here, discovered the primordial creatures that may be older than the eldest son and the guardian giants, and discovered the clues of a certain "lost era" before the goddess of creation created all beings, and now, He's even discovered a suspected prototype of the Guardian Giants and a prototype of the Genesis Engine!
There are so many secrets buried in this alien dimension called "Prison", it seems to point to an extremely ancient era and a truth that no one has ever imagined, and yet there is not a single word about this prison in any known ancient record outside of Kolo!
What exactly is Lokmardon?
Are the wardens guarding it the prototype of today's guardian giants?
Why is there so much in this prison and its system of guards that are so different from the existing ruins of the goddess of creation?
For example, the Crystal Mountain Assuman and the Ark of the Covenant in front of him—they were clearly completely different from the Goddess of Creation Temple that Hao Ren found elsewhere!
With these questions, Hao Ren looked at Luo Ken, the king of kings, who was manipulating many holographic runes in front of the crystal pyramid: "The gate has been opened?"
”"The Gate, the Realm of Reflection, is not the kind of gate you imagine, it does not open, it only 'manifests' itself, and the Abyss of Oblivion where Lokmadon is imprisoned is not some kind of enclosed space or prison cell as you imagine.It's actually around everyone from the beginning, it's just that you can't perceive it," Lorcan said as he pushed some of the runes floating on the crystal pyramid to a specific location, and as he operated step by step, Hao Ren felt that some kind of hidden and obscure change was taking place, as if the huge cave in front of him had been unconsciously alienated and gradually transformed into another place, and Lorcan's voice gradually became ethereal, "I will send you to the other side of the Reflection Realm, where you will see the real Kolo- He will also face the challenge of Locmarton. ”Lorcan's voice grew farther and farther away, and Hao Ren was surprised to see that the warden's figure was fading, as if he was already in a different time and space from the others, while half of the other twenty wardens beside him had undergone the same change, while the other half remained the same."
Ten of my companions will be with you, and they will explain to you what is going on on the other side of the Reflection Realm, while the other wardens will stay here with me—there is much waiting for us in the 'waking world'."
Go, destroy Lokmaddon, whether you succeed or not, until the last moment until you return."
Lorcan's voice finally died away, and the eleven Classical Prison Officers, including him, disappeared from everyone's face, and with them all the divine light that flowed throughout the Ark of the Covenant Cavern - the surrounding ambilight was gone, and the entire cavern took on an eerie dead dimness, the crystal pyramid became dim, and the boulder floor and the Asuman crystal cluster above it had somehow turned into ordinary bare rock, and a cold, dusk light representing the will of Lokmardon wandered above the cavern, full of malice.Ten of the remaining ancient prison officers stood beside Hao Ren and his party, led by a burly male colossus with jungle-like hair and beard, his gray-white braids were wildly draped behind his back, heavy stones were tied at the ends, and his whole body was swollen as if it was about to burst out of the skin of the rocks.He bowed slightly to Hao Ren: "I am Luo Ken's brother and deputy, the king of mountains and rivers - Gordon.Let's go, the eternal battlefield awaits us. ”Hao Ren looked at the people around him and shrugged: "If I guessed correctly, we have crossed that 'Reflection Realm' and entered the abyss of oblivion.I almost understand the spatial structure of this Kolo world. ”At this moment, after Hao Ren and his party completely disappeared from the air, only eleven wardens were left in front of the Ark of the Covenant, including Loken - the cave they were in was still full of divine brilliance, the runes on the crystal pyramid roamed, and the light of Assuman spilled from the top of the cave, making the entire crypt seem to be filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere.As for Dark, she's back in Asuman, and the freshly restarted starship needs her to debug.Outside the caverns, the sacred mountain of Assuman was already in operation, and the powerful light of order swept away the shadows of chaos that hung over the Sanctuary, bathing the entire continent in holy order—at least temporarily.Lorcan withdrew his gaze from the crystal pyramid, he glanced up at the Asuman Crystal Dome that was getting brighter and clearer, and said in a deep tone: "Those warriors have put Asuman back in motion, and they have awakened that old guy in the Nexus of Wills, old fellows - we have never been as close to final victory as we are today, almost everything is at its best, and this time, we have no reason to retreat." ”As Lorcan spoke, the base of the crystal pyramid was gradually covered with a layer of twilight light, and under the light of dusk, some shadows appeared out of thin air, and countless twisted and strange things that seemed to be flesh and blood grew out of the shadows, gnawing at the real world little by little, but as soon as they came into contact with the light around Locan, these breeding creatures would let out a brief wail and return to their cold, dead darkness."
Lorcan, what do you think are the chances of those warriors succeeding?"
A female wardener unleashed a short staff from her back, and a milky white light came from the staff, "They have to confront Lokmadon, an existence that even we will not be able to defeat, it has been dormant and accumulated for ten thousand years on the 'other side', and now it will only become more cunning and powerful." ”"I felt a similar aura to my mother in them, especially their leader, the one who looked like a human being, and who had many different powers around him, and there were parts that were like mothers but not exactly the same, and parts that I couldn't tell......
You should remember what Mother once said......
"There should be beings like her outside of the world as we know it—Mother said so," said the female warden, "so you suspect they are ......"
"Mother has always been lonely, but I think she can no longer be lonely," Lorcan whispered, a scepter condensed with energy formed out of thin air in his hand, and the lightning that erupted from the top of the scepter shattered a shadow that had just crawled out of the base of the crystal pyramid," Those warriors are supposed to come from my mother's 'hometown', and I can hear my mother's voice in the dark, and she makes me believe in those warriors.So, while they face Lokmardon, face our rebellious brother, let's stay here and never let Chaos cross the line!!
”"When the covenant is opened, people in the real world can enter the world of nightmares, and the monsters in the nightmare will also enter the waking world through this passage," the female warden whispered, her tone was slow and low, with a chanting rhythm, the cave was already full of shadows at some point, and there were countless unspeakable things twisting and wriggling and spreading outward in these abnormal shadows that still appeared in the light of the light," Lockmadon would not let go of this opportunity......
But this time, we won't be so easy to get rid of!
”Bursts of light burst into flames, war cries rang out, shadows clashed with the light, and in the sacred Ark of the Covenant caverns, the wardens fought to the death against the monsters that had sprung up from the nightmare world—one last time!
The battle that took place in the caverns of the Ark of the Covenant did not reach the other side of the Reflection Realm, and in this nightmare world, all that could be seen was a few floating lights and shadows swaying around the dim crystal pyramids, and these small visions did not stop the challengers who had already entered the nightmare.Hao Ren and Carasius led the rest of the warriors through the long corridor, and they were approaching the surface under the guidance of ten wardens.Except for the brutes who blindly followed the wolf and didn't think about any advanced truths, the Sanctuary warriors led by Carasius had realized that they had entered another world—and although the reason was indescribable, they were certain that they were walking in a strange land!
After leaving the Ark of the Covenant Cavern, I was supposed to pass through the crystal corridors and halls of Assuman, but now in the same direction, from the same location, I could only see endless rock passages and rock caverns that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years, full of strange runes and patterns, with decaying weapons and twisted bones, and pools of water that shimmered silver-gray like mercury.Any high-ranking priest living in the City of Divine Favor can be sure that there is absolutely no such place under Asuman!"
Don't go near the glowing pools," Gordon, the king of the mountains reminded, rumbling, "the lure of nightmares, and the hungry and thirsty will sink into these false oases, drinking their own blood and dying, and the bones by the pools are the bewitched victims." ”Watching cautiously everything he came across, Muru walked behind his "brothers" made of rock and metal when he finally found an opportunity to speak: "The crypt here seems to have been designed for giants—very tall. ”"Because in the beginning, we giants were the only ones who guarded the nightmare world," the King of Mountains and Rivers glanced at Muru, then nodded slightly, "I didn't have time to say hello just now—you and I should be brothers, and Mother created you later." ”"We never knew you rock brothers existed.""
Because we belong to the part that must be forgotten," the King of Mountains and Rivers patted Muru on the shoulder, and a rumbling sound echoed throughout the cavern, "......
As a living being, you seem to be more perfect than we are. ”Muru wanted to say something more, but by this time the tunnel had come to an end.The dim light came from ahead, and the dim and chaotic sky was faintly visible in front of it, along with the faint sound of fighting and thunderous roars."
Welcome to the 'real' Chlo," Gordon exclaimed, "Welcome to the last line of defense on the Nightmare Frontier, Twilight Fortress!"
”After saying that, he muttered again, "It's the same with the ruins of dusk." ”(To be continued.) )
