Chapter 554: Diving into the Abyss (17)

At the same time, the Everglades - [unnamed ruins].

Led by Vivien, the group traveled through a labyrinthine underground corridor to a wide area.

The lighting attached to the walls of the ruins began to be ineffective, and the large underground plaza was buried in darkness, giving Palamides a very unpleasant premonition.

"This is the center of the ruins, and whatever you're looking for, this should be the end. Vivien said to Patriarch Tutan.

"Very good, please give me a moment. The Elephant Patriarch searched around the square, as if trying to find something between the cracks in the walls of the metal shijie.

Vivien shrugged her shoulders and made a "let him go, he's just wasting his time" expression to the other two leopard men.

"What are you upset about?" asked Palamides, seeing through his wife's thoughts.

"No, I'm just—" the woman looked at the empty square, "this used to be my sister's playground. We played hide-and-seek countless times in this square as children, and it is full of memories of our childhood - and now when we look at this place, we realize how desolate it was. Vivien's words were not just lamenting the desolation of the place.

Palamides understood Vivien's intentions.

Things are still the same, and people are beyond recognition. Of the three sisters, Vivien is now the only one left who has not fallen into the evil path.

"You're not alone. You've got me. The leopard man almost wanted to say what was in his heart.

"Found it, this is it!" Tutan's shouts interrupted them.

Vivien frowned slightly, and went over to inspect it suspiciously, but she did not forget to say, "There should be nothing left here-" Tutan's "found" was nothing more than a small circular groove in the center of the square. It was so inconspicuous that it was hard to imagine how the elephant could have found it in this darkness.

"It's a hole. Argus's patience was almost running out, "And then?" "It's not an ordinary hole. Tutan carefully studied the inscription next to the cave, an ancient inscription the size of an ant, and it was difficult to look at it.

"You're right. It seems to have something. Vivien also focused on the inscriptions, "but it seems to need some kind of key" "What if I told you that [the key] was already in my possession?—" The Tutan patriarch reached out and touched his large pipe, and then, pulling a large object out of the filter of the pipe.

A spear.

It's hidden in the subspace of the pipe.

Vivien looked at the black, glowing weapon, and her face showed a look of surprise that could not be concealed: "You found [Gengunir]?weishenme?!!" Tutan showed a smug smile, "You would never have thought that it was actually hidden in the belly of the Hydra." And the hydra, which appeared in the moor near our village a month ago - as if by fate. Tutan was only halfway there. In fact, that Hydra was the same snake that Bedwell and Albert had slaughtered together.

It seems to be the arrangement of fate.

The Elephant Patriarch inserted the ancient artifact [Meteor Spear - Egunir] into a groove in the ground.

The darkness receded, and the entire ruins began to roar, and blue-white light spread out from the grooves, flowing through the entire ruins along the cracks in the floor that were too small to be seen by the naked eye.

"This is the real [nameless ruin]. Tutan took a puff from his pipe and said calmly, "Well, let's see what is hidden here." "The whole ruin shook more and more violently, and if it weren't for the fact that it was made entirely of hard unimaginable metal, Palamides was really worried that it would collapse.

The crowd knelt on the ground, resisting the shaking of the ruins, waiting for the shaking to pass.

The ground slowly cracked open as the shaking intensified. A huge underground space is displayed in front of everyone.

Huge stone monuments, one after the other, in the thousands, filled the entire facility.

These steles have a mirror-like smooth surface and are carved from a single piece of black crystal. At the base of the stele there are countless glowing circuits that connect the Stonehenge to form a vast network.

The thought came to Vivien's mind in an instant.

They are, without a doubt, servers for something.

A server farm that exists to maintain a facility, or to record certain data.

The former is highly unlikely, and the already abandoned research facility does not require such exaggerated maintenance.

The latter, on the other hand, is a crazy possibility. Vivien knew how advanced the ancient people were in storing information. They were able to record hundreds of millions of trillions of data with a sphere the size of a grain of wheat.

If such a huge server farm were used for data logging

The amount of data they record is probably more than the entire universe.

"In the Fourth Divine Age, this gun is called [Eternal Gunir]. In the Seventh Age, it was also known as the Thunder of Zeus. Seeing that the tremors had passed, Tutan muttered to himself, "There are legends in the dynasties ruled by the gods and men. I wondered if it had been deliberately kept by the Supreme Ruler of the time, in order to preserve something?" "What the hell are you trying to say?" Vivien frowned.

"Lady Goddess—" Tutan pulled [Egunir] out of the pit where the gun was inserted, and the glow from the server swarm immediately waned.

"Your people are used to dividing all kinds of ancient myths by [gods], right?

In my opinion, I am afraid that these [gods] are all distorted from real events - they are the vague memories left by the contact between the gods and men of the old universe and the humans of the new universe. The new human beings have constantly revised and supplemented these memories over the long history, and Zuihou has developed into one mythological system after another. "Are you making me laugh!?" Palamides shook his head disdainfully.

"Do you still think so after seeing this?" said Patriarch Tutan took another spear from his pipe.

Another [Meteor Spear - Eternal Gunir]!

Aside from the subtle styling differences, its design is largely identical to that of the first Meteor Gun. The quaint texture, full of mysterious liliang spirit, doesn't look like an imitation no matter how you look at it.

"This is something that my people found a long time ago when they were traveling in Africa. Tutan stuck his gun into the groove on the ground. The groove matched the gun perfectly, and the moment it was plugged in, the whole ruin began to roar again.

That gun is also genuine. It is impossible for a modern man's clumsy imitation to deceive the jishu of the ancients.
