The words of the King of Mountains and Rivers finally solved many of Hao Ren's long-standing questions: why is there only five floating continents in the real world of Kolo and some small floating islands that can't add up to a continent?
Even if all those landmasses were put together, they would not be enough to form a complete planet!
Why is it that the world of Kolo is obviously a creation supervised by the goddess of creation herself, but there are almost no temples and relics of the goddess with real divine significance, but only imitations built by mortals in the same way?
Like many of the temples in the Kasuan Sanctuary and Sanctuary, although they appear to be in the style of the goddess of creation, they are obviously just mortal creations!
Why are the historical records of the secular kingdoms of the world of Kolo so confusing, and all of them are separated from the time node 10,000 years ago?
Even counting the interruption of the lineage caused by Lokmardon, this division seems too abrupt and "neat", as if the day has changed, and all civilized countries have been torn down and started again!
The fact is that the world of Kolo has really undergone a seismic rebirth - in the destruction of the Chaos tyrant Lokmardon, this small world with a diameter of two light years has been split in two from time and space, and the original Kolo has been pushed into the side of the nightmare by the ancient prison officials with the help of the power of the "God Engine", becoming an old world forgotten by everyone, and the so-called real world is actually just a replica used to control the prison system and accommodate the survivors!
In the New World, the mortal kingdom is passed down from generation to generation, as the relics of the gods all suppress that eternal nightmare in the Old World......
Led by the King of Mountains and Rivers, the crowd trudged across the barren plains towards a supposedly important stronghold, and the probes released by Hao Ren had already begun to transmit the first information, and in those images from afar, Hao Ren could see the appearance of this "old world" more clearly and intuitively.However, in order to avoid alarming Lokmardon in advance, all the probes have bypassed those places where there is obvious intelligent activity or strong energy reactions, but even so, the data they send back is precious: due to the collapse of the imaginary space, this "real Kolo" has been compressed to a radius of only two astronomical units, and stabilized on this scale, except for the continent floating in the void, it has no sun, moon and stars, and all the light and energy comes from the turbulent primordial storm in space, Some physical lands are suspended in the void, roughly corresponding to the real-world Kolo (i.e., the New World), and countless phantom-like things move and travel between these floating continents, constantly penetrating each other but unable to influence each other.In the vast, cloud-shrouded place, the probe found countless fragmented ruins—including steel castles floating in the sky, magical spires, ancient facilities that looked like factories and warehouses, and even space-based fortresses with giant cannons and guides, but these once magnificent things have now lost their function, leaving countless fragments floating above the old world, and between them, black flesh and blinding tentacle structures filled with chaotic power float everywhere, Twisted aimlessly, wriggling, disgusting and malicious.The picture sent back by the probe is disgusting and palpitating, it seems that the power of the ancient prison officer army was once very strong, and the goddess of creation once set up unimaginable heavy firepower and even space firepower on this planet, but Lokmarton still cannibalized these defenses little by little, and even dragged the entire space into the realm of imaginary numbers, how strong is its resistance?
Are conventional firepower and warriors its opponents?"
What are we going to do next?"
While Hao Ren was pondering, Lily was already jumping up and down, she was an impatient person, and this place made her shine all over her body, which made the husky girl even more irritable, "Big man, big man!
Where's that Lockmardon?
Hurry up and go home!
”In fact, not only Lily is shining, except for the little weak chicken, the brightness of everyone in Hao Ren's team who does not shine basically reflects the number of natural treasures they usually eat, Lily is at the top of the brightness list with her transcendent food and habit of stealing food, and Izax is second - the old demon is covered in holy light, and he feels that his whole painting style is not quite right, as if he has just put down the butcher knife and is becoming a Buddha.Hearing Lily's words, Gordon's footsteps did not stop, but raised his hand and pointed into the distance: "It is irrational to rashly face Lockmarton, you must first understand the situation here."
We've been asleep for too long to know exactly how far things have deteriorated on this side of the Reflection Realm, but before things get completely out of hand, Lorcan left behind a large number of monitoring points and backup databases that still function automatically after the Warden has been corrupted, and because they are not living things, they should not have been completely contaminated by Rockmarton.I'm taking you to the closest monitoring point here, and if it's still functioning, we'll be able to grasp the current location of Lokmardon's body, as well as the distribution and strength of its minions throughout the Nightmare World - challenging the Nightmare Tyrant is a daunting task, without which we will only be lost like blind worms and ants in this fragmented world, and gradually consumed by nightmares. ”Hao Ren nodded, and sure enough, as he expected: although the wardens were controlled by corruption, they were not completely unprepared, and even today's counterattack, they had plans and arrangements.It's even more reassuring to work together: a teammate who understands the situation and controls it is much better than a bunch of reckless men with no courage in the blood.While nodding his head, he couldn't help but think of the scenes he had seen in Benedict III's mental visions before.The barren and open wilderness, the monsters fighting in the wilderness, the shadows of Lokmardon in the sky, and the mirrored tower in the background—the scene in the illusion seemed to be somewhere in this plain, and when he first came to the surface, he faintly heard the sound of a battlefield fighting, but what about the battlefield?
Hao Ren looked into the distance and did not see any beacon smoke.Vivien came up to him and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
”"Did you hear the shouts of killing when you came out of the hole before?"
Hao Ren tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice.Vivien frowned: "Shouting killing?
It seems to faintly hear a little ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Lily suddenly rushed over: "I heard, I heard!"
But seeing that you didn't react just now, I thought I heard it wrong......"
Hao Ren and Vivien glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, sure enough, the dog's ears are spirits.At this moment, the rumbling voice of the King of Mountains and Rivers interrupted Hao Ren's conversation, and the rock giant happily pointed to a silver-gray obelisk standing in the wasteland not far away: "Ah, monitoring point!
It's still there!
”The monitoring point is a small metal tower two or three meters high, which looks like a city monument engraved with shimmering runes, and when you get closer, you will find that it is not directly placed on the surface, but floating in the air about one meter above the ground, and below it is a recessed square platform, between the platform and the metal tower, there are countless lines shuttling quickly, as if exchanging data.The metal tower is a tall structure to look up to for ordinary people, but to a giant like the King of the Mountains, it's just a small device that must be bent over to operate - Gordon knelt down on one leg in front of the monitoring point, resting his hand on the silver-gray alloy surface, reading the information inside, while Hao Ren took the opportunity to ask, "The Abyss of Oblivion......
I mean, are there any surviving forces of resistance in this 'old world'?
For example, the automated corps you left behind. ”"The surviving resistance?"
Gordon was stunned for a moment and slowly shook his head, "There shouldn't be." ”"Should?""
We were completely controlled by the forces of Lockmarton three hundred years ago, but in fact a thousand years ago, the wardens almost completely lost their ability to monitor the abyss of oblivion," Gordon said in a low tone, obviously not saying anything pleasant, "In other words, for ten centuries, this prison has been unsupervised, and no one knows what happened here, and we don't know how long the automatic defense equipment we left behind lasted or under what circumstances it was completely destroyed…… So far, I don't know anything about the situation like you, but at least there are monitoring points left, and I should be able to figure out the situation soon. ”Another warden sighed, "We have dishonored our mission. ”Hao Ren was silent, just communicating with the data terminal in the spiritual link with the various information transmitted by the front-line detectors, Doudou silently hugged his arm and curled up in his arms, rare and honest.And at this moment, the obelisk in Gordon's hand suddenly emitted a burst of bright light, and then an unusually blurry picture was projected on it, and a heavily armed soldier appeared in the projection, with the chaotic battlefield in the background, and an intermittent voice came from the picture: "......
Seventeenth Record......
Lost......
Our plan to recapture positions failed......
Unable to contact the Warden Legion......
We are ......
Scorched earth plains, we will hold on to ......
Zizi ......"
The messy picture ended here, Gordon looked at this unexpected message in amazement, and muttered to himself: "It's a mortal soldier......
Hao Ren immediately asked loudly: "When was that record?"
”"Seven centuries ago," Gordon said slowly, "it was the last communication the monitoring site received. ”"This legion is probably finished," Vivien sighed, "but why is there a legion of mortals here?"
”"They are the 'heroic souls' mentioned earlier," Gordon explained, "the finest and most determined mortal souls, who devout our mothers and after their deaths volunteered to join the ranks of the garrisons to resurrect the world in this nightmare and wage an eternal war against the minions of Lokmardon."
They are a supplement to the Warden Corps, but they are not the main force. ”Lily was quick to say, "They can hold out longer than you main forces. ”Gordon hung his head wordlessly, and only spoke up after a while: "That's right, just like you said." ”And at this moment, Hao Ren was thinking back to the fighting sounds he heard not long ago—he heard them, Vivien heard them, and Lily heard them with certainty, those could never be auditory hallucinations!
In a trance, those faint voices seemed to appear in his ears again, and when he raised his head slightly, his pupils suddenly contracted.I saw that on the desolate horizon, a shadow of black pressure appeared at some point!
