The central stone gate is a general term for a huge complex building located in the center of the island of the gods. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The twelve-storey above-ground section is the tallest building on the island, and almost anywhere on the island, you can see the majesty of this inverted pyramid-shaped building.

The facility is equipped with a public relations hall such as a city hall, a large number of hotels and commercial facilities, and is truly operated as a city center.

On the other hand, this huge building also plays an important role.

It is a centralized management facility for artificial islands with a low level of 40 floors under the sea surface.

The building, which is less than two kilometers in diameter, also serves as a link between the artificial island of Siji Island.

Vibrations or distortions caused by the influence of ocean currents or ocean winds will be absorbed and adjusted by this central stone gate. If it weren't for it, the four regions of String God Island would collide with each other, or separate from each other, and drift across the ocean. It is an important facility that lives up to its name as a "keystone".

Therefore, it is also quite tightly guarded.

The SAR garrison held by Xianshen Island has three brigades of about 440 people. And one of the brigades is often stationed at the central stone gate to do security work. Its personnel also includes a squad of sixteen Attackers. That's enough to match the entire number of Demon Attackers held by the mid-sized county police headquarters.

However, the reason why such a large number of personnel are invested here is because the guards of the central stone gate anticipate a large-scale attack by a terrorist organization.

On top of the calculations, these forces are said to be able to hold out for days even against a squadron-sized orc corps of the Night Empire.

It was for this reason that on that day, the people were greatly stunned.

The fact that only two intruders had dealt with all the guards and invaded the door.

They had already broken through the closed compartment of the tenth layer below the surface of the sea and were walking towards the middle level of the stone gate.

Without any request.

"-Plete, the seal that sealed the compartment has been broken. ”

The girl, wrapped in the armor of the curly beast, said majestically.

The current girl's form is a giant about four meters tall whose whole body is wrapped in armor that shines with rainbow light. The moment his huge finger touched the closed compartment, the seven layers of enchantment that guarded the closed compartment were all destroyed.

That's because the Godhead vibration wave drive spell engraved on Astaruti is working.

The artificial curling beast "Rose's Fingertips", which merges with her, is capable of neutralizing any magical power and tearing enchantments apart. And this power is exactly what the annihilator Oistaha has been longing for.

In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, this power that can destroy the barrier is really necessary.

"Let's go, Astaruti. What we desire is right in front of us. ”

"The order is promised. ”（accept）

Whispering quietly, Astaruti crossed the destroyed compartment.

From here on, to the middle of the 25th floor below the surface of the sea, it is under the jurisdiction of the artificial island management company, and the control of electricity, communications, and water purification facilities is carried out here.

If you do damage to this area, you will be able to give the citizens of String God Island a serious damage situation.

For example, stopping the power supply can be fatal to seriously ill patients in hospitals, and food preservation on this hot island can be problematic. Natural rivers do not exist on this island, which is a man-made product, so if the water purification facilities are stopped, it will affect people's drinking water. And even if you want to get out of the island, it is located in the ocean about 300 kilometers from the mainland. It is impossible to evacuate all 560,000 people on the island in a short period of time.

Because of this, the area is often an easy target for terrorists, and the corresponding security has been strengthened to cope with this.

Waiting for the Oistaha who broke through to the middle level was the most elite unit of the SAR garrison, two detachments of the Demon Attacker squad plus a squadron of heavy mobile troops.

"Hmm...... I guess I am very well trained to deal with emergencies. ”

Aimed at the two Oistaha who had come down from the passage and began to fire a salvo.

These are all mana bullets used against demons, and if you eat these, even if Oistaha is wearing an armored enhanced suit, he will not be able to stay unharmed. He hid in the corner of the wall to avoid the direct hit, and at the same time commented in a calm tone, "But, it's useless. Annihilate them, Astaruti. ”

"Take the order, do it, 'Rose's fingertips'"

The humanoid curly beast that shone with a rainbow light struck the mobile team members who were constantly shooting.

That's a completely unimaginable agility from its appearance. Then the Roll Beast swept through them with its overwhelming force, and the barrier protecting the mobile team members was shattered like weak glass, and they were knocked away without suspense.

Sensing that the normal mana bullets were completely ineffective, the attackers fired ballistas at Astaruti. It was originally a siege weapon for striking small javelins, but by storing mana on the tip of the spear, it could be a powerful weapon against demons. Due to its ability to deal lethal damage with a single hit against werewolves and vampires, its use is even restricted by treaties. The javelin, which shone with a dim light, struck the humanoid curly beast at a speed comparable to that of a bullet.

However, it simply bounced off like a raindrop.

At that unbelievable sight, the attackers stopped in amazement.

Only Oistaha smiled steadily.

As a collection of mana, the Scroll Beast will not be harmed if it does not touch each other with more powerful mana.

However, Rose's fingertips are now able to nullify all attacks with magical power and reflect them back.

No one else was able to stop the curly beast - and its host, Astarutti. This is true even with True Ancestor's Scroll Beast.

Although the attackers continued to resist, they had no chance of winning with their strongest weapons neutralized. Astaruti's curly beast annihilated them with its overwhelming strength.

That scene can't even be called a battle, it's simply a one-sided ravage.

"Well, that's a good judgment. ”

Presumably realizing that it was Oisaha who commanded Astat, several of the surviving demon attackers launched a direct attack on Oistah.

"But a slow move like this won't defeat me. Compared to that sword witch girl, you guys are like child's play. ”

Oistaha smiled and began to meet them.

Using the enhanced arm strength of the armor reinforcement suit, he wielded the all-metal half-moon axe and swept it towards the demon attackers of the garrison.

- Is that mostly the solution solved? ”

Looking back at the posture of the completely destroyed garrison, Oistaha said coldly.

Under the indiscriminate firing of bullets and the traces of destruction of the Rolling Beast, the floor that had become a battlefield was now a miserable scene like ruins. More than sixty elite troops, all of whom were seriously wounded and fell to the ground. There were no more people here except for the two intruders.

No-

A little further from the battlefield, a young girl stood.

She wasn't armed. All she had with her was a small laptop. Neither the posture of a trained person would pose, nor did he feel her magic. It's not a combatant, it's not a demon, it's just an ordinary human who just happened to come to see the condition of the passage and then encounter a battle like this-that's the atmosphere.

Looking at the figure of the frightened girl, Oistaha looked serious in surprise.

Because the uniform she was wearing was too similar to the costume worn by the sword witch of the Lion King Machine.

It's not very likely that she'll be her companion, but it's better to incapacitate her just in case-

Thinking so, Oistaha shook his head.

There was no need for that, and even if the sword witch chased him back, it would no longer be any obstacle for Oistaha and them.

And there's no point in taking that girl's life here.

Leave it alone, she will die sooner or later, not only her, but all the inhabitants of this island will have the same fate.

That's right, the land of broken promises, created by sinners, is about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

……

The intruders passed through the floor, and all of them showed a miserable scene.

More than 60 guards were seriously injured and fell around, and the smell of blood emanating from it spread through the atmosphere. There are only a dozen people who can barely act on their own. However, they have also lost their ability to fight, and are in a situation where they are already scrambling to take emergency measures just for their injured teammates.

The only shallow onion that was left uninjured looked at this tragic situation with a half-relieved attitude.

At this moment, shallot's mobile phone rang. After the battle with the invaders, the facilities inside the door were badly damaged, but the telephone relay office seemed to be barely fine.

Slowly, the shallots confirmed the contents of the phone screen with a mechanical motion.

When she saw the names on the screen, her eyes suddenly returned to life.

"-Ancient City!?"

"Shallot...... great!

The voice of the ancient city came over the phone. For some reason, I felt a little relieved, and I wiped the tears from my eyes. Then, as if to vent the melancholy that had been deposited, he chattered loudly.

"What, really...... The company was attacked, many people were injured, and the building was destroyed and locked up...... What the hell is going on, those guys!?"

"Did you see the prisoner who attacked you? Is it the muscular uncle in a monk's robe? And the humanoid beast. ”

"You know what!?"

Shallot asked dumbly. At the same time, I felt a violent sense of unease.

Why would the ancient city know what the invaders of the central stone gate looked like? Could it be that he had met those people earlier than shallots? If that's the case-

"Well, thanks to them, they almost died. ”

"Almost died...... Something, the ancient city, you ......."

The simple confession of the ancient city, the shallots can only be stuffed. If it were a normal one, I would think it was a boring joke and laugh at him for being stupid. But after seeing the tyrannical figures of those invaders, I had to believe that it was the truth. He must have experienced an accident that nearly died.

But the ancient city said in his usual lazy tone,

"Anyway, it's okay now, where did they go compared to this?"

"Go down, I guess you're going to the bottom of the door. ”

The shallots also returned to their usual atmosphere and said. I'm not the only one who feels this bad mood. Gucheng can understand himself, and just thinking about this makes me feel redeemed.

Shallot opened the laptop that he was clutching like an amulet.

I connected to the network of the management company and checked the situation inside the lower door.

The intruders had already forcibly broken down all the doors on the way to more than 30 floors. Although the front of them is the strongest part of the structure, it is only a matter of time before they reach the lowest level. At most, there are only about 2 hours left.

"The lowest level. …… Do you know what's there, shallots?"

"How can I know that kind of thing, the only way to find truth at the bottom is the anchor. ”

Shallot replied tapping on the keyboard.

"Anchor?"

"It's the anchor layer, you know that Xianshen Island is an artificial island divided into four base islands: east, west, north and south. And that's the same as the cable that connects them, and it's like a substrate. ”

“…… Is that something important?"

The ancient city asked in a tone that seemed to be incomprehensible. Ha shallot shallot serious expression.

"That's impossible, it's just a super hard piece of iron. It's just to prevent the island from falling apart, and it's used to absorb all the impact or vibration of the ocean wind on the artificial island of Siji Island. ”

The reason why the island is divided into four artificial base islands is to prevent the entire island from sinking to the bottom of the sea in the event of an accident. In addition, there are appropriate voids and softness in the links to protect the island from undesirable or dangerous vibrations caused by storms or high waves. Just like a table with four legs supporting each other, the four artificial base islands are also balanced by supporting each other.

From another point of view, it is also the link that represents the artificial island, and it bears the full load of the entire Xianjin Island.

“…… Since that's the case, what's the matter with the treasure or something that the uncle said......?"

"Treasure?

"I don't know, but it seems that the uncle and his party came to this island to recapture it......"

"Even if you say that, who would put that kind of valuables in the bottom anchor level. You can't take it out and you can't even see it......?"

Sensing something strange from the words of the ancient city, Shallot pondered.

The treasure he said is also caring. It is hard to imagine that the monks of the Western European Church, known for their strict precepts, would be bewitched by money and treasure and attack the exotic demon district.

No, what would it represent, as their treasure of the priesthood before that?

"Light shallots?"

Concerned about the shallow onion that suddenly fell silent, the ancient city called.

The shallot, on the other hand, took a deep breath as if he was about to leave his confusion behind.

"Wait a minute, I'll check - what, what's going on!? Isn't this a military secret-level security system!"

Seeing the warning message displayed in red on the computer screen, the shallots were stunned. The pupils of his eyes glowed with pleasure. This is due to the fact that her spirit of challenge is stimulated.

"That means you can't find it?"

"It's not like that, who are you and me—Mogu Crooked!"

Shallot used the shortcut key to call out the artificial intelligence that had been silent. I saw the screen shake, and a supercomputer appeared on the screen.

"It's a big lady who loves to abuse artificial intelligence, in fact, I was originally designed not to do anything to this guy - but since it's a partner's request, forget it. ”

"You know, so hurry up and break all the defenses. ”

The shallots typed in the mandatory command of admin privileges to the artificial intelligence that was muttering tiredly.

And before this command was executed, the atmosphere of artificial intelligence suddenly changed in an instant,

"If you want to crack it, you can ...... But don't regret it. ”

What do you mean, when Shallot said and frowned,

"Huh, is this...... How could it be, deceitful......"

Seeing the video of the anchor layer being revealed, the shallow onion muttered blankly.
