Chapter 1244: Imprint
The huge sealed laboratory is densely packed with thousands of intelligent beings confined in transparent jars.
Very few of them gave everything voluntarily, but many more had to submit to great power.
But now, these don't matter, because their lives have entered the countdown.
The only difference is that some will die faster, some will die more slowly, some will die in great pain, and some will die more comfortably.
As the initiator of the entire huge experiment, Zhang Cheng already had no idea how many lives he had killed directly or indirectly, and he also did not remember how many cities had been reduced to ashes after an order.
But he didn't care at all!
There was only one thing he cared about, and that was the meaning of the deep blue ocean, and what it was really for.
As the scale of the experiment grows larger and more areas are affected, the spiritual world, in order to maintain its own circulation and stability, has begun to give birth to something similar to human white blood cells, and launch a frenzied attack on the location of the laboratory.
Especially in the recent past, two overlords have also joined the attack sequence, and if it weren't for Byron's adequate preparation in advance, maybe all the equipment and test subjects would have been devastated.
But even so, Zhang Cheng can feel that the whole world is hostile and rejects him.
Obviously, he has violated some forbidden areas that are absolutely not allowed to be touched.
Listening to the constant wails of pain in his ears, he casually popped a jar closest to him, and asked without looking back, "How long can the outside defense last?"
"No more than ten loops!" replied a human-formed, faceless being, bending down respectfully.
"Ten cycles?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.
Since the spiritual world does not have a reference object such as the sun, moon, and stars that can be used to observe the passage of time, a large obelisk is built in most cities.
Every time the top of the obelisk shines, it is the beginning of a cycle, and then the light will slowly fall, and when it reaches the lowest point, it will bounce back up, and when it returns to the top again, it means the end of a cycle.
Because the height of the obelisk is different, the time of the cycle also varies greatly.
The obelisk, built outside the lab, cycles once in equal time to one month of Earth time.
In other words, in about ten months at most, the seemingly rock-solid defense will completely collapse, and this is still on the premise that the attack intensity will not continue to increase.
Ten months may be a long time for short-lived humans on Earth, but for the spiritual world, which is often measured in billions, ten months is just a blink of an eye.
The vast majority of beings born and raised here do not even have a sense of time, and they will never die unless they are killed or their mental power is exhausted.
"That's right! Ten cycles!And the master asked me to inform you that it's best to find the answer he wants within this cycle, or ......" The Faceling paused deliberately, not saying the second half of the sentence.
When Zhang Cheng heard this, instead of showing an angry or angry expression, he just responded with a smile: "Is it an ultimatum? According to the plan, send that thing to all the remaining cities for me. ”
"So...... All?!"
Rao is a faceling who has long been accustomed to the cruelty of the other party, but is still trembling slightly from the frenzied command.
"Yes, all, do you have any questions?" Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashing with danger.
The Faceless One hurriedly shook his head: "No! Of course not! The master's orders before leaving are unconditional obedience, and no matter what the orders you give, my men and I will carry them out 100%. ”
"Very good!" Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction. "So what are you waiting for, hurry up and act. Remember, don't let any city go. There are things that can only be obtained by sacrificing endless living beings. ”
"As you wish!"
The Faceless One bowed deeply, then turned and quickly disappeared into the exit to the outside world.
After a few minutes, he came to the hole in the defensive circle, which was less than two hours away from the test site, and reported respectfully to the shadow standing in the darkness: "Master, I have fully conveyed your intentions to him. ”
"What about his reaction?" the dark shadow turned, revealing a shriveled body and face.
He was none other than the culprit of all these changes, the first born master of the material universe, Byron.
He ...... He asked me to release that thing in all the cities. The Faceless replied cautiously.
"All?!" Byron's tone was full of surprise.
Although he didn't care at all about the lives and civilizations that he had created with his own hands, he never expected that such crazy thoughts were hidden under the calm surface of the other party.
"Yes! With all due respect, he was too bold and too dangerous. You should not allow him to carry out such large-scale destruction and destruction. ”
As he said this, the Faceless One did not hide the fear in his heart.
That's right!
He had never understood what fear was, but for the first time he felt fear from another intelligent being.
Regrettably, instead of adopting, Byron sneered and asked, "When are you qualified to make decisions for me?" Don't forget, you are just a tool, an executor who doesn't know what to think." Do what he says, and I'll see what he can do. ”
"I'm so sorry, I'll go to execute it. ”
The Faceless One was visibly frightened by the stern tone, and fled without a trace in a few moments.
Seeing the servants of his own creation fade away, Byron grinned and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Attack the city where all intelligent life gathers at once? Seeing that, I'll let you do it once. Anyway, I've already decided to leave, and what does the spiritual world have to do with me in the future. Anyway, as long as the transformed birthplace still exists, intelligent life will continue to be born, and sooner or later it will replace the primitive life. This world has been marked by me, and no one can erase it. ”
The words just fell!
Once again, his body turned into dust and vanished into thin air, leaving only the strange energy fluctuations that remained in his surroundings.
