Chapter 1095 City of Angels
In the end, Qianqian won.
Of course, winning is not easy, and it definitely does not rely on the cheating "thousand kills in an instant". Although I admit that the saying "making the enemy withstand more than a thousand fatal attacks in an instant that the target cannot detect" is very powerful. But Qian Qian wielded the machete and pounded the giant's calf for a long time without cutting a gap. The girl was good at attacking in a variety of ways, but it definitely did not include carrying a large knife to attack people. In the end, her hands almost cramped, and the giant was successfully freed from the stasis of time. The only result of Qian Qian's creative "Thousand Kills in a Moment" was to bring us a lot of joy. What really made the giant admit defeat was that after he was freed from the stasis of time, he saw hundreds of tons of psionic crystals stacked within a radius of 200 meters around him - although he "didn't know" the psionic crystals, those crystals were He could still see the unprecedentedly powerful energy reaction inside. Faced with an enemy that he could not possibly hit, but whose opponent could find countless means of attack every moment, the giant frankly admitted his failure.
"You win," the giant glanced at Qian Qian, who was standing far away with a detonator in his hand. The latter was holding a detonator in one hand and holding a ship-cutting knife in the other. He was breathing heavily. The giant was very pleased with this. Puzzled, "But what are these things? These energies...well, I know the energies, but I have never seen this kind of crystal. Is it really something that the owner used back then?"
"Nether... Nether Energy Crystal, huff," Qian Qian breathed out and angrily put away the dangerous explosives she had just thrown all over the floor. "You don't even know this. If it hadn't been for a reason, you really should have been thrown into the reactor."
By this time, Qian Qian had been released from the fighting state, and her personality had changed back. After the giant admitted defeat, she immediately flew in front of us with an annoyed look on her face. "Even though I won, I feel very unhappy!" Qian Qian bumped her head on my shoulder and muttered. "In the end, I won with the help of crystal. I thought I was already very good."
"You are quite powerful, but this time you just met an opponent with high resistance." I patted Qian Qian's hair gently, but in fact it didn't matter whether I was comforting or not: this girl was already smiling before I spoke. Her mood changes as fast as her abilities. Most of the time I can't react - of course the rest of the time I can't react at all...
In fact, Qian Qian's time power is not suitable for head-on duels. Although the nature of her abilities is undoubtedly strong, the power of time is more powerful in terms of assistance, control, and macroscopic phenomena. But it should be used in small-scale attacks. There are only a few methods she uses most: accelerating evolution to cause the enemy to decay rapidly - ineffective against giants, going back in time to make the enemy weak - still ineffective against giants, and finally the time tearing or splitting effect, which is considered the most powerful and With her unpredictable moves, she can make her enemies live in different timelines at the same time. This causes the target to be erased by the paradox or disintegrate in three-dimensional space and time. This attack technique has been strengthened and trained by her many times. Now it may be regarded as a law attack, but this skill is still useless when facing giants: the energy field filled in the opponent's body creates an overly complex information environment. For Qianqian, the greater the amount of information and energy intensity contained in the target, the more limited her abilities are. The amount of information makes it difficult for her to accurately control the target range to be affected in the timeline operation, while the energy intensity means that she has to It takes more mental energy to penetrate the enemy's resistance. Unfortunately, the giant, as a high-level combat unit manufactured by the old empire, has both.
In this way, Qianqian was not suitable for a one-on-one battle, and she met an opponent who was able to restrain herself. In the end, Qianqian failed to use the power of time to hurt the giant. Although she finally won the victory, she also used the power of time, but the decisive thing was that it was so good. Hundreds of tons of explosives. For this girl who often gets tangled up in strange angles, this is worth the frustration, well, worth the entire twelve seconds... this silly and happy girl.
Fortunately, the opponent Qianqian met this time was not a real enemy. Otherwise, I would never have let her go out to challenge others. After all, the ability of the Lord of Time should be focused on team assistance. I believe Qian Qian herself knows this too—well, maybe she does. God knows why this girl ran out to find someone to fight with so much interest this time. Normally she is not someone who likes to fight.
"Following the previous instructions, I will open the Forgotten Garden." The giant said, paused his scepter, and with himself as the center of the circle, released a burst of silver-white arcane shock waves, blowing away the surrounding fog and restoring his health. In the surrounding space, the vast, flat, desolate and monotonous aerial plain appeared in front of us again, as well as the huge metal arch, and of course Tracy and Charles hundreds of meters away. When the giant opened the different space, they Two were excluded. It seems that to the giant, the dragons here are not the guards of the ruins at all, although he also calls the latter "soldiers". Hearing the noise coming from here, Charles and Tracy, who were busy lowering their heads and whispering, subconsciously raised their heads, and then the former suddenly shouted: "Ah! Are you still alive? Then I'll fill in those holes. …”
I stumbled suddenly, feeling that something very cheating might have happened: "A cheat? What a cheat?"
Char didn't see Tracy wink at him at all. Instead, he shook his neck triumphantly and pointed out several super large pits two hundred meters away with the tip of his nose: it looked like they were dug with dragon's claws. It was dug out in a short time: "I have heard that when people from the Mother Continent die, they have to dig a hole and bury it. After you were taken away by the guard chief, I dug the hole - but now it has to be filled. If you don't dig the hole, it will be filled." I'm going to suffer..."
“不管你填不填坑,今天确实是要遭打的……”冰蒂斯活动活动手腕,指节间发出让人浑身肌肉一哆嗦的“咔吧”声,“老娘生平揍人无数,你You still have thirty seconds to kiss your wife goodbye."
Char finally reacted, his jaw almost dislocated with a click, and he suddenly cramped in front of the female gangster's overwhelming aura. Then he hid behind Tracy: "Wait...wait! I'm kidding! In fact, we both got bored waiting outside and rolled around a few times! How could something happen if you are blessed by the spirits of your ancestors? Well, right? You have to protect me, the spirit of my ancestors!"
As he said this, Char ran up to Lin without any sense of moral integrity. He was pious and almost burst into tears: "Witness the spirits of the ancestors, I just made those pitfalls out of boredom, right?"
As soon as Char finished speaking, there was only a loud "bang", and a dazzling thunder and lightning appeared out of thin air. It struck Char on the forehead with unusual accuracy. The silver dragon, which could swim in magma, was immediately sent flying several times. rice. Most of his body was black, and he lay there twitching.
Lin hurriedly ran two steps to Charles's "body", lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it - you will be struck by lightning if you lie in front of me. You should have been struck by lightning, but I I thought that was too pitiful, so I took the initiative..."
"Thank you to the spirit of the ancestors for reducing my four strokes..." Char said with a puff of black smoke coming out of his mouth and his whole body twitching.
Lin pointed at her fingers sheepishly: "No. Because the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, so I just tied the five thunders together."
Char puffed out another puff of black smoke. Completely motionless. Bingtis clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Oh, this girl is so cute! Take Monina back and train her carefully. Maybe she can take over my mantle when she grows up!"
In just a short time, these unscrupulous guys were able to make so many mistakes. I shrugged dumbfounded, but I was just about to pull Bingtis back, who was persistently preparing to step forward to finish the attack. The scenery changed instantly!
This time, everyone was not sent to a different space, and the surrounding desolate plains did not disappear. Instead, countless hazy hazes of light suddenly appeared on the originally empty land. The magic circle that was originally carved on the ground and shimmering, running through the entire floating continent, has been activated at some point. Those mysterious lines are surging with powerful energy and light that is several times stronger than before. After these rays of light reach a certain level, they turn into tiny particles that fly lightly into the air. Integrating into the haze of light in mid-air that is rapidly materializing from a hazy state. A low, slow rhythm came from nowhere, as if the extremely distant ocean was sending the roar of waves from beyond the horizon, and as if millions of people were singing in a low voice in a corner. This kind of sound could hardly be separated from the sound of the wind at first. , but now it's even clearer. The mysterious and distant low rhythm penetrates directly into people's hearts. Although it does not sound like any kind of music that humans can recognize, it gives people a sense of noble and solemn music like a hymn. Suddenly, I remembered that when I woke up occasionally on weekdays, I would see Alaya standing in front of the window quietly looking at the night. At that time, the holy power of the angel sister would give me this feeling - yes, That's how it feels!
In the past four years, I have been intoxicated by such a quiet fairy tale scene more than once: when I woke up, I saw the room was filled with a slight white light. If I looked for it along the white light, I would see the holy angel quietly under the quiet night. Standing in front of the window, watching a distant old friend under the cold and lonely night sky, I never knew why Alaya sometimes exuded such aura. Even the angel sister herself didn’t know why she would occasionally run to the window. I was in a daze before, but now, I seem to have found some answers.
It is the remaining memory in the soul that has never given up and is looking for its former home.
The gates to the Forgotten Garden are opening.
I have been wondering what kind of space or state the Forgotten Garden is located in. All we can see is a huge arch, and there is no shadow of the Forgotten Garden on the plain, so I guess that maybe it is in a different space, and The arch is a teleportation device - the way the giant appeared earlier seems to prove this. But now I understand that the Forgotten Garden is not anywhere else, it is around us, and has always existed on this aerial plain from beginning to end.
The light mist in the air is rapidly materializing, and soon it shows the phantom of a large number of magnificent buildings. I can't see their appearance clearly yet, but I can already feel the vastness, solemnity, and impressiveness. With the suffocating momentum, the whole process of the Forgotten Garden from virtuality to reality is like a dream gradually emerging from the surface of the real world. We look around with wonder, watching a holy and mysterious city gradually replace the bare gravel on the plain. With Xiaoqiu, Monina suddenly exclaimed: "It's the structure of the God Realm! The conceptual layer!"
"Have you forgotten?" Monina looked at me in shock for a moment. He immediately explained, "Have you forgotten that the world structure of the God Realm is hierarchical? Each space is equivalent to many layers of worlds at the same time. Different conceptual layers are superimposed on each other and intertwined due to different 'world views'. Except for Father God Himself, no one knows what the lowest level of the God Realm looks like. It is the same structure here. The surrounding buildings have always been protected in another conceptual layer under the same spatial coordinates. It is not invisible. It is not parallel. Space, but independent of the world view, no wonder even Lord Bingtis didn't find out where the Forgotten Garden is hidden. So you also have this kind of technology?"
"Perhaps this technology was obtained from the God Realm, but no one knows about it anymore." I replied casually.
The Forgotten Garden protects itself by separating itself from the "worldview" of the real world, so it has long been in a state that cannot be affected by anything in the real world. Everything here has not evolved and is preserved like a snapshot. The bottom of the world: thought here. I couldn't help but feel excited, feeling that I was about to come into contact with a secret that I had never known before.
finally. The materialization of the Forgotten Garden is nearing its end. The surrounding building complexes were completely in front of everyone's eyes. When I saw this mysterious and ancient imperial city, I held my breath.
It is a city of pure whiteness and splendor—despite its name being a garden. Here, spotless white is the main color of everything. All buildings have streamlined outlines and elegant cloud-like styles, and strive to be simple. Only the golden lines that can be seen on the edges of the buildings and the inlays on the exterior walls of the buildings. The blue crystal can be counted as decoration. Other than that, all colors are pure white. The huge arch in front of us is not a "door". In fact, it should be a relay node for some large facility. The location of the arch is a small circular square with a radius of several hundred meters. The square is paved with white crystal stone tiles, with soft light rune lines shining on them. The small square symmetrically extends into four wide straight avenues. , the road extends to the distance, and you can see four other squares that are exactly the same as here. The squares also have the same metal arches as before us. Such building combinations extend out one by one. What can be seen in the line of sight is already More than ten groups of identical buildings appeared. That's why I guessed that this metal arch was a relay node for a large facility. Between these symmetrically distributed squares, you can see many tall 100-meter towers. They look like giant street lamps arranged neatly. The lower part is a single column with streamlined convergence lines, and the upper part is a protruding column. An oval-shaped platform with a half-moon-shaped gap at the front end, in which a shimmering blue crystal is suspended. In the distance, you can see many towering towers, castles, terraces floating in the air, and huge buildings that cannot be named at all and can only be modified with thin words such as "magnificent" and "elegant". . Each building is outlined with a pleasing parabola or inward concave arc, and strives to reach the sky. The silhouettes of these buildings look reminiscent of the same slightly curved angel feathers, the same white color , the same mystery. All these huge buildings are very different from the imperial facilities I have seen before. Although the same blue crystal cross emblem can be seen on their surfaces, and their size and scale are similar to the steel fortress on the technological side of the empire, this kind of The white and light texture... It's really hard to imagine that this is something built by the iron-blooded and powerful Xiling Empire.
However, when I saw Alaya next to me, she couldn't help but float into the air and fly towards the tower closest to her. I suddenly understood: If the empire can create such elegant and powerful angels, why can't it build one that suits them? City of Angels?
What I have always seen is that the empire with only cold and straight steel lines is actually not complete. When those sharp and strong steel fortresses are combined with this light and mysterious city of angels, it is the true sense of the mysterious. The two powers of science and technology have developed to their peak, and they have begun to understand the complete state of the Xiling Empire of the void truth.
"Brother Monarch! Here!" Alaya's voice came not far away. We followed the sound and saw the angel sister sticking her head out from the edge of the nearest tower. She had been happily walking around since just now. Flying back and forth between those tall and elegant towers, and now finally finding a place to stay, the angel sister had a slight blush on her face, the wings on her back were gathered up, and she leaned out while waving hard to us, "I like it This place! I love this place!”
"It feels like the divine world," Bingtis's face finally disappeared from the cheerful look. She observed the surrounding buildings carefully and sighed, "Although the styles are different, this white harmonious The line pattern is very similar to those light-based buildings.”
The angel sister flew several times between the towers, and finally landed next to us. She looked extremely happy. I couldn't help pinching her wings to calm the girl down. Then the sister turned her head and looked in the direction where everyone came from.
The guarding giant was still standing at the entrance, holding his lightning scepter tightly, and his eyes fell on us.
"Go in, you can move around as you like, I hope you can find what you are looking for." The giant rumbled.
The sister looked at the other party: "Are you letting us go just like that? You still haven't confirmed our identities. Aren't you worried that 'strangers' will destroy things here?"
"This is the mission," the giant shook his head. "If the masters never come back, leaving these tombstones has no value. If the masters can come back one day, then we will rebuild a city. If the meaningless memorial objects are left idle, they will be a kind of waste." Waste, we reject this kind of waste, and I stay here only because of the owner’s orders, not to allow these buildings that can no longer produce value to survive forever.”
Such familiar values...
"What about you?" My sister asked casually.
The giant glanced at us and said calmly:
"I will stay and continue to wait for the master to come back." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
