Chapter 256: Test 1
"What are you laughing at, are you happy that I, an old man, have been bullied, or do I have the talent of a theater actor and can make you laugh in just a few words?" Yaruko said with a "melancholy" expression.
"No, no, yes. Listening to you is like a stand-up comedian in the Crux Empire, or a cross talk actor in the Fire Empire in the south. But you're not here for that, are you? I think we should get to the point. Kyle reminded, rolled up his sleeves again, and looked at his watch.
"Does it take a long time to test?" Yaruko said as he finally changed his tone to normal.
"You know, he's not really a teenager. I've told you before that his body contains the mysterious powers we've been searching for years. Remember when there were a lot of teenagers calling themselves dragons going around the world after the disaster in the southern country thirty years ago?" Kyle said, looking disdainful.
"Of course, I've also studied the traces of the 'Heavenly Punishment Fire' left after that battle, as well as the Beyond Flower that appeared in the ruins there. None of this comes from a kind of god, or if what we study is true, then it's more like a battle of the gods. Yaruko said with a serious face.
However, Clayter, who was listening from the sidelines, seemed to see something different in his eyes.
That is to transcend the fears of the current environment.
"The Creator is the origin of everything in this world, and I believe that this will become more and more accepted as we study it more deeply, but before we have time to rank all the gods, it seems that we can only rely on a few fragmentary records to find a trace of them from antiquity. In the ruins of the Southern Empire, or rather, their ruins, I have seen traces of more than one god in the order. Kyle said, suddenly stopping in the brightly lit passageway.
"Traces of the gods?" Clay interjected suddenly, after all, his memories were still shattered, and he seemed to be particularly sensitive to things related to memories when he woke up in this new world.
The gods are also the most crucial, even indispensable, part of his memory.
"yes, oh, maybe you've seen it before, Clayte. If your dragon aura is recognized, maybe a god will take the initiative to approach you. Kyle smiled and touched Clayter's head, after all, he was 1.9 meters tall, although it didn't match his white woman-like face.
"I'd like to hear what traces of the gods you've seen. Instead of paying attention to Kyle's boasting, Clay asks the key.
"Well, I'll have to let you know about this sooner or later. Uncle Yaruko, if I have something missing, you will definitely help me fill it up. Kyle said, holding out five fingers and thinking.
"Of course, I won't let you make mistakes. Yaruko said confidently.
"Ordinal 1 Creator, this is the mystery of the mystery, we can only find a trace from a few words or some rare information, and it is not necessarily accurate. The Lord of the Night in Sequence 2 seems to have had traces of recovery thirty years ago, but it is true that there is no trace after the Light War. The third order, the god of ten thousand dragons, is the founder of all dragons. Of course, the so-called farce of thirty years ago did not summon it. Also in order to position the 23 Nightmare God, it will invade your spirit and soul, leading you into a dark realm where you will eventually be lost. Kyle said, stunned for a moment, and continued to recall:
"By the way, there is also the 24th Rank God of Flames, which was born by the land of the Flame Empire in the south for 10,000 years, but it is the same as the God of Ice in the 25th rank here here, it only has residual power, and we have not had the opportunity to see the entity. Also, Ordinal 60, Lord of the Dragons. The former Flame Empire Air Force told us the information, and further down here, I've seen its feathers, oh, and the rest, well, that's pretty much it. ”
"There's one more you forgot, Kyle, this is the god we had to worship yesterday. Yaruko tapped Kyle on the shoulder.
"I really don't remember. Kyle shook his head helplessly.
"Ninety-nine, the god of autumn. One of the gods dedicated to Halloween, this god has been worshipped in the Avantley Empire for hundreds of years, and no one dares to ignore this. If Rex II were to return to Ice-Inspired City today, I am sure he would take you to pay respects, and of course, your beloved ......" Yaruko said, his eyes revealing a hint of love for women.
Of course, this is not for this man who looks like a woman, but for the noble princess who is high up and always shows herself in front of the citizens with a noble atmosphere.
"I don't think we're the time to do that. Of course, to discuss this, you have to test it for Clayter, if he doesn't have dragon power, well, don't think about it yet, just assume that he has. After all, the boy who thawed from the frozen ruins must have extraordinary strength. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, this is Clayte, what I think is the dragon boy. Kyle introduced Clay with an embarrassed smile.
"Well, I can feel something different. Yaruko said, touching Clayter's head as well, turning to Kyle and saying:
"In a hurry?"
"I'm in a hurry, it's better to get the results today. You know, Rex II will be back to Icestart City with a victorious team at the earliest, and if we're going to have some action, we're going to have to set it up tonight. Otherwise, we will have to give up this opportunity. Kyle replied, his eyes shining in the light with a hint of longing for blood and death.
"Then I suggest you cancel first, in my gut feeling, this teenager may not give you the results you want right away. "Yaruko turned around, grabbed Clay's white and thin arm, and said:
"Come with me into the depths, I think one test for you will be enough. ”
"What test, what is enough?" said Clayte, who was a little confused, but instead of pulling his arm back, he looked up at Kyle.
"Just follow him, he's my helper. Kyle patted Clayter on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
After saluting each other, Yaruko took Clay's hand and stepped over the last section of the light-filled passage.
Immediately after, humming a tune, he tapped his fingers lightly in front of a metal door in front of him, and several neat rays of light streaked through the door, revealing the sound of machinery inside.
Click, click, click, click.
After the sound of neatness, the metal door opened without warning as a rhythmic whistle swept through, revealing some fantastical space inside.
"We also need to step over a psychedelic area where you can relax. Yaruko said, pulling Clay forward.
"Is this, starry sky?" said Clayter.
As soon as he stepped through the metal door, the surrounding light was completely taken up by the influx of darkness, and then, small dots of light occupied every angle of Kleit's vision.
As he walked forward as he followed Yaruko's lead, green, dark blue, and orange light gradually flooded the space around him.
But they were all suppressed under the color of darkness.
Of course, even so, Clay can feel the fantastic cosmic scene, and the bizarre scene that finally manifests itself like a starry sky.
"The universe originated from the terrible dreams of the Creator, and the planet we live on is as small as dust in the universe. Even so, perhaps only we have ever had a god born in this blue realm, so how can we not be sure that we have come into contact with a god? This is the meaning of the extraordinary, and the end of the mystery. "Yaruko was very timely to introduce the mysterious knowledge to Clayte.
"I heard it familiarly, as if in a distant dream, a friend I knew well had seen these sentences. But I can't remember who he was. Clayter said, feeling as if something small in his brain was exploding, emitting a slightly painful substance.
Fortunately, these things did not shake his spirit, and did not seem to affect him too much.
"Here we are, Steam Proving Ground, I don't think we need those cumbersome steps, Clayte, I prefer this old man to be direct. Yaruko said, pointing to a dark spot in front of him.
By the way, he took out the revolver in his pocket and fired three shots in quick succession into the darkness.
Bang! Bang!
After the muzzle of the white smoke was returned to his pocket, Clay noticed that he did not hear anything from the pistol, only the sound of the pistol firing, as if the bullets had been swallowed up by the dark void in front of him.
"Three, two, one. It's here. ”
As Yaruko counted down, Clay only felt the perspective change in front of him for a moment, and when he blinked twice and looked forward, he was replaced by a large laboratory-like field.
"Where is this?" Clay wondered, looking at Yaruko.
"Steam Proving Ground, now, you need to stand in the center of these machines that surround us, and better touch the crystal ball left by the old magician. The test is officially underway. Yaruko said, letting go of Clayter's hand and taking a few steps back, sitting on top of a machine he had never seen before.
"Okay. Clay agreed, making a quick walk toward the center of the room.
When he finally reached the bottom of the floating crystal ball, he finally looked around and saw everything clearly.
It was an underground room lit by a few unknown headlights at the top, and Clay couldn't feel the dampness, but looking at the machines that were rumbling at high speed, Clay understood something.
There were seven or eight of them, and they all circled the room, and they all had a very obvious drill bit, and a boiler behind it that seemed to be emitting purple sparks when an electric current was plugged in.
"Are you ready? Clay, I'm going. Now think of something, anything, some fragmented memories, but don't forget to grab the crystal ball. Yaruko said, pulling on a joystick in front of him.
"Okay, I'll try. Clayt agreed, placing her hands under the crystal ball and pressing firmly against it, mobilizing the remaining memories.
In an instant, Clay felt the aura of flames emanating from his body, and a young man holding a scepter, wearing a red robe and an unknown uniform appeared in front of him, and even, two bright fireballs surrounded him.
"Very good, psychic powers are attached to the mystical standard. Yaruko approvingly, looking at the crystal ball that was already starting to glow.
Immediately after, he pressed a green button.
Immediately, the surrounding machinery began to condense some electricity, and after a while, several black objects surged outward with the drill bit of the machinery.
"I guess it's okay to skip some unnecessary stuff. Yaruko said, looking ahead with a wicked smile.
The black objects that had just formed turned into twisted and strange mysterious tentacles under the interweaving of electricity and mysterious power, and even made a sound like "zila" like a demon grinding his teeth. With the purple power overflowing from the crystal ball and the irregular electric current floating in the air, Clayte's surroundings became noisy as if a strange concert was going on.
Under the "singing" and "accompaniment", those black objects turned into soft and tiny tentacles, and attacked Clayter's body, which was immersed in spiritual power, as if to control him.
