Chapter 898 Subversion

(In this uncertain time, I plan to ask for a monthly pass. Do you still have any?)

"When the gods return, what exactly are you going to hand over to them?"

My sister looked into Joad's eyes and her expression gradually became serious, "This question is very important."

"It is impossible to tell a stranger this."

As we expected, Yoder immediately refused decisively. Seeing the unwavering look in the other party's eyes, we knew that there was probably not much room for negotiation on this issue. Sandora originally planned to use mind control again, but now Yoder may have Very cautious, he may resist Sandora's spiritual power - of course, with the ability of a Xiling Emperor, it is very easy to force this ordinary person to surrender, but that will definitely have an irresistible effect on the old man's spirit and even soul. Shandora was not willing to torture an old man like this just to get the answer to a question after repairing a serious injury. And it’s not that we have no other way to know the truth. At present, it seems that there is still some time left for us.

"Actually, I don't know what it is because I haven't walked into that place myself." Yoder saw that we stopped talking, and after thinking for a while, he added, "Missions are passed down from generation to generation. There were many interruptions due to various turbulent times. Initially, it was known to the entire world, but now, only the church knows about this mission, and only senior members believe in it. I just I know that it is a very important thing that has a fate-determining effect on the gods. It is hidden in a treasure house. Of course, I have nothing to say about this treasure house."

"It doesn't matter, that's not important anymore."

As if she felt that she already knew enough about the archbishop, Shandora suddenly let out a sigh and stood up suddenly, "Fortunately, you still remember this mission. You said that you have something crucial to give to the returning man. Gods of the world, then...you should be talking about us."

Yoder was stunned. He didn’t realize what Sandora’s words meant for a long time. I was also a little stunned. However, Sandora’s choice of identifying her identity at this time seemed not too early. Now it seems that there are only a lot of things that this old man can say. That's all, and we also took this opportunity to roughly understand the other party's position and the significance of the religious organization he leads - the church in this world is mostly a guardian of ancient heritage, although now more than half of these guardians They are no longer very clear about their mission, but its core layer still roughly remembers what happened in ancient times. Seventy-two thousand years ago, a fierce battle broke out between Viska and an imperial army here. After the fierce battle, the two sides may be afraid. They all ended up being annihilated. Then one of them handed an important thing to the surviving natives of this world and ordered them to guard it until their own legion regrouped and returned here. This is... A full 720,000 years.

I initially judged that the legion who left the treasure was the Emperor, because Viska was a madman back then, and she didn't seem to be able to do such an organized thing, but considering that this world is essentially a prison, Moreover, no one returned to this space to retrieve the relic for so many years after the First World War until the empire fell asleep. This careless and careless behavior is a bit like the little lunatic in my family... In short, there is no way to judge.

After understanding this, Shandora felt that it was time to reveal her identity to the other party.

In theory, this is the case, but in fact... Jodel was stunned for a few seconds and then immediately jumped up.

"You're making a really bad joke!"

The white-haired handsome man shouted loudly, his hair standing on end, "Maybe you know a lot, but you can't use your knowledge to make fun of my faith!"

"Let me go, this uncle was either a poet or a gangster in his previous life." Lin Xue quickly poked my lower back and whispered.

Of course Joad will not believe the one-sided words of us foreigners. I have already guessed this. After all, strictly speaking, the other party's trust in us should be higher than that of strangers. He told us a lot of things. That's because Those things are irrelevant, and maybe ordinary people have no way of knowing, but they can still easily understand these things after contacting the church. He can use these unimportant information to show sincerity (of course, that mission is Sandora using small tricks Let the other party say it, that doesn't count), but other than that, in Joad's eyes, we are just foreigners from across the stormy ocean.

What is the value of a foreigner? Answering his doubts about this world may also bring hope of saving the world, or knowing a few words left by God in another world. This is the hope he places on the foreigners. Yoder is now a little sick and hastily sought medical treatment. The impending depletion of the world must have put great pressure on this responsible man. Therefore, after discovering a group of foreigners who were most likely brought by the Hope from across the stormy sea, he immediately brought us In front of us, but in the final analysis, this is just hoping to answer questions from us, but it does not connect us with the return of the gods at all - after all, if this is considered the return of the gods, then the gods are too low-key. .

I can think of these, Sandora is of course better. She just watched quietly as Yoder pointed at herself angrily, not caring about the other party's impoliteness. After Yoder calmed down a little, she slowly said: " You don’t believe it, this is normal, but we can prove our identity - do you need me to summon the imperial fleet to this space? Or do you want to go to our home planet to find out the truth in person? "

Yoder was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Fleet? I'm afraid this is not enough proof. You have also seen that we have the same spaceship... Of course it may not be as good as your battleships, but in essence, those things are the same Yes, maybe you just got more inheritance from the ancient gods, which doesn't mean anything except that your world is richer."

"Those fleets were built by us." Qian Qian immediately said urgently.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, we were also able to manufacture smaller spaceships. There are these descriptions in historical records, but as time went by, many ancient factories were closed. Perhaps your ancient factories were more abundant, and they even renovated each other. …”

"I'll go!" I almost burst out, "You are suspected of causing trouble. According to what you said, you have no way of judging our identities, okay?"

Shandora thought for a moment and suddenly spoke directly to the point: "Wait, I want to ask - do you know what the ancient gods looked like?"

Yoder was stunned and said awkwardly: "I don't know."

"Then in what form will the ancient gods return to this world?"

"...There is no record of this either."

“How were ancient gods identified?”

"...This...may be in the records from hundreds of thousands of years ago, but it has been lost now."

"Can I curse?" Bingtis extended his middle finger to Yoder. The other party was stunned by this strange gesture, but he still smiled and gestured to Bingtis, and then the female hooligan was all He was petrified, clamoring to fight the opponent desperately, but unfortunately he didn't make a move even after shouting for a long time.

"In other words, you only know that you have something that must be handed over to the ancient gods who return to this world, but you don't know what the ancient gods look like, nor what will happen when they return, let alone the ancient gods. You have no way to confirm who the other party is except for the other party's self-reported identity..." My sister covered her forehead in pain, "Don't you realize that this is a big problem?"

Yoder was also embarrassed, but still persisted: "You are right, we can no longer find a way to confirm the identity of the ancient gods, but I am sure that they will not descend in a garbage sorting station. As for what you just said , if I take it back now, I can forget about it."

Sandora thought for a while, then lowered her head and leaned into my arms: "Ajun, think about it."

What do I think? Such a weird and stubborn old man, what do you want me to think about? Is it possible to kill them? I guess I can’t write this with my big eyes...

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, the ground beneath our feet suddenly shook again.

This time the vibration was stronger than the previous one. In just a few seconds, many devices even fell from the platform on which they were placed. Seiko grabbed the armrest of the chair and said anxiously to me: "Brother, I seem to hear There was a sound like an explosion outside!"

Yoder was standing when the earthquake suddenly came, and ended up sitting back on the chair. If it weren't for the chair behind him, the old man would have suffered a lumbar disc contusion at the least. After the shock subsided slightly, he immediately rushed to the center of the room. The circular platform, operating a large number of data terminals there at a dizzying speed, did not even bother to pay attention to us.

The holographic projections on the walls of the room and suspended in mid-air quickly switched images with Joder's control, and soon real-time surveillance videos of various locations on the planet appeared.

Earthquakes are happening not only in the areas around the big city, but all over the world!

On every screen, you can see fleeing people or shabby towns that are collapsing. The starship wreckage that was originally tightly packed is gradually separating. Huge rifts have opened on the ground, and energy flashes are pouring out of the rifts. , rushing up into the sky like bright magma.

This is a shock to the entire planet!

"It's started, it's going to be early..." Lin Xue suddenly stood up from the chair and whispered to herself in disbelief, "There is a variable, there must be a variable that is intervening in this world..."

"Bishop Lei!" Yoder suddenly shouted on the console, "Tell me what's going on!"

A middle-aged man appeared on the largest holographic projection in the room. His black robe was full of dust, and red blood was flowing down the bridge of his nose. After seeing Yoder, the man didn't bother to wipe the blood on his face. He said loudly: "Archbishop! The ground is cracking! There are energy explosions everywhere! The energy networks of many towns have been paralyzed, as well as transportation and communications... There are people injured here at the Sixth Assembly Station, a large number of injured, very serious!" the other party said hurriedly Halfway through, there was suddenly a bright flash and a huge explosion from the side. He looked back and shouted loudly without looking back: "A big hole was blown out of the pit wall! The ropeway has been broken, and there is a transport The carriage was blown into the sky and just landed on the oxygen factory. There may be an explosion! We need to evacuate immediately!"

The other party's voice was interrupted by a series of louder explosions. The sound of countless people crying and howling poured into the room through the communicator almost like a wave. Yoder hurriedly arranged the rescue operation and then the communication was interrupted.

While he was almost frantically contacting all regional bishops, reports of huge disasters in various places were still pouring in, almost clogging up the already problematic information bandwidth of this room. In just a few minutes, the red alarm window became Color common to all screens in the room.

The door next to it was pushed open, and several high-level monks in black robes rushed into the control center-like room. Yoder raised his head from the pile of screens and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? No. Did you say that random intruders are not allowed in this room?"

"Your Excellency the Archbishop," a monk took off his hood with a very frightened expression, "the city... the city is losing its balance, and the gate seems to be sinking!"

"What?!" Yoder completely lost his calmness for the first time. He rushed down from the console in a few steps, but at this moment, another violent vibration came from under his feet. After all, he was already in his fifties or sixties. The aged man, whose body was not as agile as the young man, was about to fall down on a console with hard edges due to the violent vibration, but a thick vine caught him in time, followed not far away A wild Lilina jumped out from a large pile of flower vines. She put one hand on her hips and pointed to the sky and raised her face and said loudly: "Whenever mortals are slaughtered, it is the great goddess of life who will show her grace..."

"There's so much nonsense!" I quickly patted her, "Go to work, it's time to do something good."

The green light curtain flashed past, and Lilina switched into the green-haired elf form. Her whole body was filled with surging life energy, so much so that the room surrounded by steel seemed to have plants bursting out of the ground and began to come alive. After taking out her life scepter and grabbing the jingle from my shoulder and putting it into her pocket, she rushed towards the door while running and stumbling, shouting: "Suffering mortals, please accept it." The goddess’s sincere blessings…Hey, my mother, do you need to make the door handle so high?”

"The wounded will be rescued by Lilina and Dingdang. Quickly call a group of transport ships from outside," I quickly said to Sandora. After receiving the latter's confirmation information, I turned my head to Yoder, "Are you okay? I just said It seems like your ankles are turned to the back..."

"I'm fine," Yoder said quickly. Just now, Lilina's gorgeous transformation and attack made him stunned for a moment. However, as the earthquakes that suddenly became stronger and weaker around him continued to strike, he quickly put that scene in his mind. After that, he began to instruct several monks to evacuate the residents of the big city as soon as possible. After a few words of instruction, he suddenly remembered what we just said, "Wait a minute, you said you have a transport ship?"

"I know what you want to say, they're on their way."

Joad looked at us with burning eyes, and nodded vigorously after confirming that I was not lying: "Okay, it seems that you can really surprise me. Monks, you should return to your posts immediately, and the cathedral is preparing to ascend. null."

The black-robed monks all showed shocked expressions, and the leader quickly said: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, after the church leaves the city, the last lock on the gate is equivalent to being opened. The holy library..."

"The floodgates have come down, haven't they?"

Yoder glanced at the other party and said, "Go, maybe our mission will really be completed today."

Several monks had greater shock on their faces, but this time none of them spoke. They just bowed neatly and then exited the bishop's room, which was more of a control center than a prayer room.

Yoder quickly returned to the circular platform in the center of the room, completely leaving the rest of us aside, and began to quickly switch the processes of those data terminals. The monitoring images on all the screens around him were switched into complex charts. and mechanical scans.

——"Battleship Control Cabin".

These words flashed through my mind.

The largest holographic projection in the room shows the exterior view of the cathedral. Its perspective may be a point hundreds of meters above the sky outside the church. From this perspective, we can see that the high ground to which the church belongs has tilted... Wait, not only this highland, but the entire city seems to be tilted! All the buildings in the big city in our sight have formed a clear angle with the edge of the sinkhole in the background. It seems that the foundation of the city is being completely flipped? !

The streets are now crowded with panicked people, but based on current observations, it seems that there are not many injured among them. People are just in a state of embarrassment, and the few injuries on their bodies are not fatal. Since the world is filled with extremely tough metals, the earthquake did not cause widespread building collapse, and the big city is far away from the rift zone (in fact, many settlements are far away from the rift zone, because the rift zone is basically It is the connection zone between the giant starship wreckage, and the residential areas are basically in the center of the large wreckage, and a considerable distance from the edge), the residents avoid the worst two misfortunes: being hit by the house or being killed. The earth devours. These panicked residents swarmed outside the city, where there were transportation ropeways and spacecraft launch platforms that allowed them to escape the capsizing city. Among the crowds, we saw those floating in the air with the help of small anti-gravity devices, constantly waving bright light sticks. The black-robed monks, it seems that Yoder's order has been implemented, and the monks are actively organizing people to evacuate the dangerous area.

The perspective of the holographic projection scanned around these blocks and finally returned to the cathedral. Just as the latter reappeared in the center of the picture, I saw bright blue sparks bursting out from the bottom of the cathedral.

Then... the building broke away from the high ground below and began to take off!
