Chapter Ninety-Two: The Floating City
"The robots and armored beasts that have appeared everywhere have been largely wiped out. Although the alert system is still ongoing, it should be lifted soon. "On the Elseyu, the people who had just experienced several battles relaxed their tired bodies while listening to Yulia's report—and the news was basically good. The four executors all left the Tower of Four Wheels, and the many restraining forces sent by the associations in the streets also completed the task of defending the territory of the royal capital with the concerted efforts of Cassius, who had been prepared for a long time.
"Hehe, that's good." Kim sighed, and continued to heal himself—it wasn't an easy job to fight Valut.
"yes...... It's not in vain that we've spent so much effort. It happened to be Helliga who had contributed the least - in fact, among the members who participated in the attack and defense of the Tower of Four Wheels, he and Faye were the only ones who seemed unscathed and in good spirits. Kim didn't say anything, Agaté's shoulder was also injured by Valut's murderous fighting spirit, and he was a little unable to move. Luciola and Kevin have the scars of the Dao left by Luciola's Shikigami and the extreme spiritual deprivation caused by the all-encompassing illusion technique. As for Estelle and Joshua...... How good can it be to fight Ling's weird giant scythe and humanoid weapons beyond common sense head-on? That is, Tida, who Ling tried to avoid intentionally or unintentionally, is still intact, but the shock to her heart can be imagined.
"That's not convincing." Sure enough, Joshua gave a blank look at Hyliga, who was in the midst of blessings, but then he also showed a curious expression: "I know Blobran...... That guy's weird thaumaturgy wasn't that easy to deal with, unless it was a seasoned veteran, or a transcendent being whose martial arts completely overwhelmed him...... How the hell did you manage to fight him off and still come out unscathed? ”
"Hehe, at this time, I have to educate you about the role of pre-war preparation, although you can't learn these tricks from me." Heliga smugly, "First ......"
However, Dr. Russell rushed in recklessly, and his excited, dancing appearance not only attracted everyone's attention, but also brought about an important piece of news—it could be said that the mystery that everyone had just discovered in the discussion had coincidentally solved one of the key points.
"One of the data crystals you found in the tower has been parsed on Capel." The Doctor mentioned some strange crystals that everyone found while exploring the tower, and since they couldn't read the information on them, they deliberately handed these wonderful things to the Doctor for analysis when they returned, and Dr. Russell naturally went to get them with the same interest as a child who saw a funny toy, but he didn't expect the results to come so quickly, "To put it simply, the "Tower of Four Wheels" was built to freeze the Ring of Light in another dimension...... The conclusion from this is that the mutations of the "towers" you mentioned are probably also due to the fact that Rita has been assimilated by the so-called alien dimension. ”
"Another dimension...... Ring of Radiance...... Seal ......" Heliga's thoughts quickly organized together by the words, "that means the gospel is—"
"Hehe, yes, the gospel exists as the terminal of the Ring of Radiance." An eerie voice suddenly came clearly into everyone's ears from the loudspeaker in the cab, startling everyone. Everyone scanned back and forth in amazement to find the source of the sound; As if to wait until everyone's surprise had calmed down a bit, the display automatically turned on - Professor Wiseman still had his usual smile on the screen.
"Professor!" Estelle's exclamation also revealed the mystery to everyone - this man was behind it all. The two personnel in charge of the communication system were at a loss, and they had no idea why that particular band of communications could take away the command of communications on board. Dr. Russell was clearly annoyed by such a direct provocation, but Kevin didn't show much surprise - instead, he was very solemn.
"I've worked hard all day, and I'm here to greet you, and I'm asking Haihan to be abrupt." Wiseman was still as calm as he was, not feeling the strong "you're not welcome" atmosphere emanating from the crowd, "First meeting, Dr. Alvat Russell. I was amazed that you were able to make such a sophisticated system on your own. You are one of Dr. Epstein's disciples. ”
"Hmph, yin and yang weirdness." The security system he made was easily cracked, which made Dr. Russell a little embarrassed, and Wiseman's sincere praise was particularly harsh to him, "I tell you, the navigation control is independent of the system, and it is protected by a more accurate and secure firewall, even if you want to control it, it is in vain!" ”
"Hehe, how could I do such a thing." Wiseman waved his hand and said calmly, "I made a special contact, just because I didn't want everyone to miss the upcoming historic moment. ”
"A historic moment...... Could it be ......! "Heliga was the quickest way to get all the information together.
"Hehe, with the direction you are in, or the deck in front of you is more conducive to viewing. So, I wish you all a happy tonight! With that, the communication was cut off, and control of the communication system returned to the crew members of the ship at the same time. But everyone's minds are long gone, and Wiseman's words make it impossible not to care—everyone's hearts can't be at peace anymore.
On the deck, mixed with surprise, nervousness, doubt, and other emotions, everyone finally saw the shocking scene that Wiseman mentioned.
A beam of golden light slammed down, and a golden crack was cut in the sky in an instant! Almost instantly, the night sky, which had been silent, was suddenly illuminated. As the crack opened, the brilliant golden light, which contrasted sharply with the dim sky, gradually turned into a strand of light like a pod that had long matured and was eager to leave its mother's body, and then burst into grains of gold dust, scattered in the air. The golden light peeled off layer by layer, and a skilful spiraling, shell-shaped sky city was suspended majestically in the air! The entire night sky was illuminated with a brilliant golden glow as if it were day.
This is the Ring of Light, the being known as the "Light of the Holy Dome" in the Church's secret texts.
A huge ball of purple-black light, mixed with indescribable mysterious pulses, spread out in all directions centered on the ingenious Sky City. Wherever they passed, whether it was a guiding lamp or any other device, as long as it operated with the guiding force as the energy source, it was forcibly stopped. The land has turned to darkness, and only the amazing floating city is proudly showing its existence to the people.
"Huh...... It doesn't seem to be quiet here. "The black figure that had appeared behind Helika and Faye reappeared on the earth. Unlike the ethereal shadow of the last time, this time the figure is a complete entity. The appearance of the floating city stunned everyone who witnessed this scene, but he was the only one who just said a casual word lightly, and then he was silent.
"Huh...... So be it. Next...... "The direction he fixed his eyes on was the Elsaijo, the wings of hope of Liber, who were crumbling from the loss of guiding support in the distant sky.
