Although Hao Ren had already guessed what the world on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge was like, and also guessed what kind of destructive power Vivien's "magic energy radiation" had, it wasn't until he and the others stepped out of the portal that he realized how miserable the kingdom outside of Asgard was now.They stepped through the spiral door of the Rainbow Bridge and stepped into a place that felt like purgatory.The earth was burned to ashes, everything in the world collapsed into ashes, Hao Ren stood on the wreckage of the rainbow bridge on this side and looked into the distance, every inch of land he saw showed signs of serious distortion, huge and terrifying rifts could be seen everywhere, and smoke was billowing from the rift, as if the endless karmic fire in the earth fissures had not burned out to this day.Beyond the rift, you can see a series of filthy green glass covering everything.The vitreous bodies were fluorescent, and their form resembled a disgusting, viscous fluid, and they were distributed in clumps, stretching from under the rainbow bridge to the end of the horizon.These vitreous bodies are the product of demonic radiation—the unprecedentedly powerful magical energy, combined with the catalytic concussions of the Witcher's Beam Cannon, resulting in a hybrid of magical energy that completely melts and destroys the earth, turning all the organic matter on the earth into something disgusting and strange like glass, and these demonic residues are almost useless, they are like the curse itself, covering the earth with scorching heat and disgustingness, making it useless for even tens of thousands of years.A sky ruled by ashes and dust shrouded the land, and the thick clouds of dust almost obscured all the light, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in darkness, making the purgatory-like world even more terrifying and gloomy.This is a burned-out world, a world where all prosperity has been smelted into slag, where the air is filled with deadly poison and radiation, where the sky no longer shines, where life is cut off, where everything is infested, and where no living thing can thrive - at least not most of the common species.May grabbed Hao Ren's arm a little frightened, stretched her neck and looked into the distance trying to find a glimmer of life.But apparently she couldn't find it.The only creature left in this burned place was the tentacles on the edge of the continent.The mighty Eugudo Lahir, whose continent-piercing tentacles survived even here, now stood on one of his tentacles.A dozen other tentacles swayed slightly in the distance, and the silver-white eerie runes also shone on these tentacles.However, these biological tissues do not bring the slightest vitality and warmth to this place, on the contrary, these strange things only make this place seem more eerie, like a nightmare in the abyss.The Rainbow Bridge on this side is the same as the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard.Only the spiral gate was still running, and the crystallized trails covering the branches of Eugudolahil were already in tatters, and due to the erosion of magical energy, the crystallized trails on this side were in an even more miserable state.Hao Ren walked in front, leading everyone along the tentacles of the eldest son to the land that was completely dead.He had seen Asgard after Ragnarok, and he thought it was already a miserable wasteland, but it was only here that he realized what a wonderful place Asgard was.Although it was destroyed by the war, it was almost heaven compared to this place."
Which kingdom is this?
The land of the dead, the Nibelungen?
Watt Alheim?
Msberheim?
”Nangong Sanba couldn't help but chatter."
It can't be Midgard......
It's miserable like this. ”"I don't recognize it at all," Vivien frowned, "I never thought the magic energy would burn so violently that it would ......
The space was burned down, everything was unrecognizable, the mountains were collapsing, the rivers were drying up, and I don't know where we we've been. ”"The 'battlefield pickers' we saw on the surveillance footage crossed the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard," Hao Ren looked at Vivien, "which means they crossed this wasteland."
Who do you think can do that?
”"The mighty of the gods of Asaph or the Flame Giants should be able to survive in this environment, but certainly not for long: there is no water or food, and it seems unlikely that those things will be produced.In addition, judging from the dress or physical characteristics, the figures on the surveillance video are obviously not giants or the god Asaph.I look more like a human from Midgard," Vivien said, spreading her hands helplessly, "Humans can't survive here for more than ten minutes, I can't explain that." ”Everyone walked down the rainbow bridge and explored the dead world.There are no relics to collect here.There was no such thing as battlefield ruins to investigate, and the Storm of Magical Energy had destroyed everything here equally, leaving only worthless ashes to look at.If nothing can be found here, Hao Ren's next target is another rainbow bridge, more than a hundred kilometers away, where there is a gate that leads to the next "world".According to Vivien, with the exception of Asgard, which has only one "Universal Rainbow Bridge", the other eight kingdoms each have two spatial passages that can point to the two kingdoms.When Heimdall was killed, the spatial passages were fixed in pairs, connecting the kingdoms into a chain.Now without Odin's gem guidance, Hao Ren and the others have no way to control the mapping of the Rainbow Bridge, so they can only go on one kingdom after another.Originally, Hao Ren didn't have any hope for this desolate continent, but hope always came inadvertently: it wasn't really nothing here."
Hosts!
There's something over here!
”Lily, who was running around at the front, suddenly stopped in front of a hill and turned her head to shout loudly.The group rushed over, and Lily pointed to a pile of objects on the ground, "It looks like it was left by humans." ”Several hammered rocks are stacked on top of each other, scattered around them with indiscernible pottery and leather shards, and at the top of the pile is a metal cane with a small compass-like device next to it—perhaps some kind of symbolic keepsake.A polished slab lay flat on the ground, and something was written on it in ancient script.Hao Ren bent down and used the translation plug-in to make out the handwriting on the slate: "......
Resting here, Tanarosa, the Lightseeker, who had dedicated his life to searching for the remnants of the spark in the Nine Kingdoms, but never found it until his death, the warrior fell in Warnaheim, may the Ancestors and Valkyrie protect his soul and lead him to the eternal realm. ”Lily carefully flipped open the slate, and found that there were words on the back of the slate: "Friend, I will continue our journey, and even if there is only one person left, I will also arrive in Asgard."
May you protect me in the palace of the eternal kingdom, and if I fall, may we meet again in the eternal kingdom.If one day there are new seekers of the Light who set out, I hope they will see this text, we are trapped in the long night, but we die marching towards the light. ”"Lightseeker......"
Vivien repeated in a low voice, "I haven't heard of this in the Norse cultural system. ”"Obviously, it is a noun that came about after the Nine Kingdoms broke away from the main material plane," Hao Ren frowned, reasoning about the hidden meaning of the text, "fell in Warnerheim......
That is, this is Warnerheim?
”"The former home of the Warner Gods, this place was originally rich in water and grass, with several large rivers and an inland sea, and there were often phantom lights in the sky," Vivien sighed softly as she looked at the land around her that had been completely destroyed by demonic energy, "I really didn't expect it to become like this." ”Anthony took a closer look at the small tomb and suddenly made a discovery: "The handwriting is very new. ”Hao Ren instantly became energetic: "Just left?!"
”The old mage immediately summoned a verification orb, which circled around the metal cane a few times, and then disappeared: "The time is not more than ......
For two days, the place was filled with magical energy, and the last time it was touched by a creature could be determined by the extent of its accumulation on the surface of the metal. ”Lily suddenly jumped up: "I'm afraid the person who left these things is still in Warnerheim!"
”"Split up and find it!"
Before Vivien finished speaking, Hula suddenly summoned a swarm of small bats, and the black pressure suppressed a large group of bats and spread out in all directions, "There is no sign of personnel passing through the rainbow bridge over there in Asgard, I'm afraid this person has an accident!"
”Hao Ren, Galazor, and Anthony also immediately opened their respective personal spaces and released all the detection probes they carried with them.The detection probes and swarm of bats soon vanished into the chaotic canopy of Warnerheim, and a rapidly expanding scanning area was mapped in the data terminal and Vivien's mind.Galadrow looked worried: "This man said he was going to Asgard, but we didn't find any trace when we came from the Rainbow Bridge, so I'm afraid he's lost." ”Hao Ren's heart sank: "Get lost in this ghost place......
I can't imagine the consequences.That man can make it all the way here, and I hope he has more ways to save his life, or we'll be a step too late. ”(To be continued.) )
