The appearance of the Legion of Giants in Frost Snow City caused the expected shock.Despite the preparations made by Grand Duke Owen in advance, despite the claims of the northerners with the toughest nerves, and despite the fact that the people who live in this land deal with all kinds of incredible ultra-ancient relics all day long, the legions of giants and the transport carriers they are on are still enough to challenge the receptivity of the natives.Some of the citizens who saw the starship landing on the city walls were frightened and caused a commotion in a small area.But in the end, all the commotion was effectively contained - with the timely coordination of Grand Duke Owen and the strong execution efficiency of the Northern Legion, the city calmed down at breakneck speed and began to wait for further orders.The discipline brought about by the unique population and social structure of the fortress city played a huge role in this moment.As for Constance and Archduke Owen, Hao Ren didn't need to explain to them the specific situation of the guardian giants.Perhaps thanks to the discontinuity of inheritance and historical distortion caused by the alternation of epochs, different inheritors often mean different civilization systems, and two inheritor organizations that are disconnected from each other may have a huge difference in power at hand, Constance knows this, and does not take the initiative to ask too much.Hao Ren did think that he should find a suitable entry point to let the princess know the whole truth, including the identity of his group, but after seeing an urgent report from Nolan, he realized that the situation in this world was much more fragile than it seemed on the surface, and in order to avoid affecting the last ray of hope in this world, he must try to prevent any influence that might shake Constance."
The Legion of Giants is strong enough to help you gain an advantage on the frontal battlefield, and they are extremely good at dealing with those corrupted and mutated minions," Hao Ren said as he stood on the walls of Frost and Snow City, looking at Constance beside him as he gathered on the plains, "They don't need all the support from you, including supplies and garrisons—they bring their own supplies, and they can live in transports."
This army will follow you to the Imperial Capital, and their support will continue until you step into the last wall. ”Constance heard Hao Ren's words: "Won't you act with us?"
”"No, we have other important matters," Hao Ren retracted his gaze and glanced at the Gorgon spatial rift in the sky, "But don't worry, Leah will act with you, she is the number one combat force among us, and with her in the array, you and your knights can go all the way until you reach the imperial capital." ”"Listen to you......
Leah and the legions of giants have supported us up to the Imperial Capital?
”Constance frowned, a little puzzled, "Why?"
”"Because the last battle must be fought by you and your knights," Hao Ren looked at Constance, "and it is more appropriate for you to end your father's reign than to leave it to us."
And I'm sure you have the ability — don't you?
”"At first, I didn't expect an army of giants to come to my aid, but I still went to battle," Constance smiled and didn't continue to investigate whether Hao Ren's arrangement had other intentions, "The army of giants is yours, and you have the right to decide this, as long as it allows me and my knights to reach the foot of the imperial capital......
That's enough for me.You're right, it's best for us to fight the last battle. ”Vivian stood beside Hao Ren, but did not participate in the topic of Hao Ren and Constance, but turned her gaze to the Charlemagne brothers and sisters standing on the other side: "You two, have you decided?"
In fact, your mission has been accomplished, and you can return to your Ysu, so that you can continue to live in peace for at least two years until the epoch restarts. ”"It's a good choice if we still don't know anything about the truth, but there's no point in trying to blindfold ourselves after we know the truth," Charlemagne said blandly, "Even if the world is destined to have only two years left, we would like to spend those two years in the struggle ourselves—leave the opportunity to enjoy the dream of peace and tranquility to those who are ignorant of the truth." ”Avena next to her laughed lightly: "Ignorance is indeed the greatest blessing - there is a price to be paid for facing the truth." ”"Although your legacy has been extinguished, you are still worthy of admiration," Constance looked at the Charlemagne siblings with a much more serious expression this time, "After knowing that the world is destined to be destroyed in two years, and even if you fight to the end, you will inevitably face the fate of being erased by the world, many people will choose to blindfold and anesthetize themselves, but you choose to put these last two years on the battlefield......
Even if it doesn't mean anything to you......"
"It's not meaningless," Charlemagne laughed, "but we know that a large part of the 770,000 Black Sword Knights are ordinary people who fell on the final battlefield of the last era—they have only a few remnants left, but at least they survived the change of eras, right?"
My sister and I are probably ordinary people now......
Then we also have a little greed, maybe we can get away with the change of epochs and have a lifetime of life in the new era?
”Constance looked at Charlemagne quietly for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Well, if I can see the souls of the two of you when I open my eyes in the new era, I will definitely try my best to reproduce the transformation technique of the Black Sword Knight." ”Charlemagne laughed, "Then you have to come on—in the next era, you may have to rely on hammers and furnaces to forge weapons!"
”Lily looked at them, suddenly showed a bright smile, and reached out to pat Charlemagne on the shoulder: "Don't say it so tragically, the landlord is very powerful - go to the battlefield with peace of mind, this time the fate of this world is different from every previous time!"
”A few minutes later, Leah heals Charlemagne's comminuted broken shoulder, while Hao Ren steps Lily and Vivien into the teleportation beam.They came to the Gorgon Abyss.The boundless red chaotic fog filled the entire field of vision, the vast distorted space was full of floating boulders and fragmented wreckage ruins, ancient starships of all sizes were like silent tombstones still between the sea of clouds, and a low whistling echoed in the air, which seemed to be mixed with the murmurs and murmurs of countless people, but if you listened carefully, those seemed to be just agitation and friction between the air clouds.The Gorgonne Abyss was supposed to be silent at first, because it was originally just a battlefield wreck in the universe, and of course no sound could be transmitted in the universe, but the distortion of the world caused a sea of clouds and an atmosphere to appear here, and in these abnormal things, the wind and whispers of alienation swirled endlessly, like the painful groans of the universe in silence.
Recite.The three of them landed on an asteroid dotted with ravines, and the remnants of the asteroid's factory facilities were still powering, and every now and then there would be vibrations from beneath their feet.In the depths of the distant sea of clouds, the shadow of a giant starship can be vaguely seen, which is the "Apocalypse" that Hao Ren first visited with a probe."
The Gorgon......
Abyss," Vivien looked at the distant landscape, "the other battlefield you're talking about is this?"
What did Nolan find?
”"The truth about the cycle of annihilation and the alternation of epochs," Hao Ren said unhurriedly, and in the chaotic sky above, large and small spatial rifts were opening up, and huge guardian warships and countless armed drones were leaning out of them, "Nolan has opened the encryption system at the center of the earth and successfully established a connection to an ancient database that belongs to a larger, more sophisticated super-facility. ”"Super facilities?"
Lily's eyes widened, "What for?"
”"It calls itself the 'Heart of God,' the heart of the supreme leader of that civilization in the First Age of Antiquity," Hao Ren explained, "and according to the database, the Supreme Leader of the First Age took out his own heart, and then all the other most powerful leaders transformed that heart at the cost of their lives to make that artifact."
As for the role of the heart of God......
It is at the moment when the universe is completely eroded by the force of annihilation, and all lines of defense are about to be completely lost......
Reset everything in the world. ”"Wait......"
Lily was dumbfounded, "that is, this world is constantly reincarnated and reset......
In fact, it was set up by the ancestral civilization of the First Age itself?!
”"That's right, they set it up themselves," Hao Ren nodded, "Constance and the other inheritors have always regarded the cycle of epochs and annihilation as the greatest curse in this world, and there are even extreme wild history inheritances such as the 'Twelve Curses' in the ancient kingdom of Isu, but in fact, this reincarnation is the only legacy left by the ancestral civilization......
It is the glimmer of hope they leave for the world after paying an unimaginable price. ”The drone legion jumped in, and the mountain-like guardian fleet also appeared in an array in this chaotic space, and the wandering Gorgon "demons" in the distance finally sensed the arrival of these uninvited guests and began to converge towards this area."
The end has indeed come, but it has never ended," Hao Ren looked at the Gorgon spacecraft that were constantly converging, and said lightly, "The ancestral civilization used a very ingenious method to almost postpone this end indefinitely-" "When the end of the world comes, all the order of the universe will enter the most fragile state, all kinds of barriers of time and space will be opened, the timeline will become easy to manipulate, and even the world line will become a thing that can be artificially influenced," the data terminal took Hao Ren's words, "We had actually thought of this direction before—the stacked historical fragments in Rahrien's underlying data were most likely the result of the confusion between the timeline and the worldline, but what we didn't expect at the time was that this confusion and stacking were not naturally generated, but artificially created by the ancestral civilization."
Hao Ren nodded: "With the help of the power of the end of the world, they completed the ultimate technological breakthrough at the last moment - they collapsed their world before all the timelines were closed and history became a foregone conclusion." ”In the distance, the out-of-control Gorgonship began to engage the Guardians' fleet, and a bright flame of light once again shone on the stagnant battlefield."
So the end of this world continues, so an observer from the Tumen Empire can see our coming, so this doomsday battle will not end from the sea of stars to the surface of the planet, for only one reason: the timeline and historical trajectory of Rahrion are not closed at all, and to this day, it is still an open system."
Hao Ren remembered the first sentence Nolan read in the "Heart of God" database: The end may have begun, but we will not allow it to end until the day when everything is saved!
