Hearing Gawain's words, Hetty immediately showed a somewhat nervous and worried expression: "Ancestor, this may be dangerous. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured—and this isn't the first time I've dealt with anything like this," Gawain nodded to Hetty, "There are some things I have to confirm." ”

Looking at the calm but unquestionable expression of his ancestor, Heti could only suppress the words in his heart and take a step back.

Kamel nodded to Gawain, got up and floated to a console next to the wall, where he began to inject magic into the ancient runes.

Veronica held the platinum scepter and looked at Gawain with calm and deep eyes: "Can you tell me what exactly you want to confirm?" ”

"Three thousand years ago, the White Star fell, and the god of nature disappeared from the throne, and around the same time, a Viplanton meteorite rain occurred in the northern part of the Gondor Empire, and a large number of 'extraterrestrial fragments' fell to the earth...... However, for so many years, no one has connected the two events, because the scholars lack both critical evidence and the secrets of what happened between the gods and the stars," Gawain said unhurriedly, looking up beyond the barrier, "Seven hundred years ago, I obtained one of the 'meteorites' of Vipranton, which became the shield of the Guardian as it became known...... In the process of communicating with this 'starry heritage', I got a glimpse of some ancient memories.

"The fall of the god of nature is related to an impact that occurred outside the planet, and the rain of the Vipranton meteorite and the debris around the giant deer Ammon are the products of that impact, and the most suspicious of them all...... It was the whole impact that was actually intentional on purpose. This god ...... It was suicidal. ”

As Gawain's words fell, even Veronica, who had always been calm and indifferent, instantly widened her eyes, Amber and Herty exclaimed in a low voice, and then Kamel's voice came from the other side of the wall: "The barrier can be passed, Your Majesty." ”

"You're waiting here." Gawain said casually, then walked towards the slowly fluctuating energy barrier.

After passing through that almost transparent energy barrier, the chaos, oppression, and treacherous feeling unique to the Shadow Realm surged from all directions. Gawain stepped out of the sturdy, ancient corridors of the Fort of Disobedience and stepped onto the shattered earth of countless floating boulders, between which the builders of a thousand years ago had paved a path to the corpse of the giant deer Amourn, using alloy frames, chains, and gangplanks, and Gawain walked unhurriedly.

The corpse of the god of nature floated like a hill shrouded in white light at the end of his line of sight.

The gloomy world was shrouded in chaotic "clouds", pitch-black, eerie shadows like lightning flowed between the clouds, and the huge boulders lost their gravitational restraints, rolling and moving on the edge of this shattered land and in the farther skies, except for the space around the giant deer Ammon, perhaps affected by the remnants of divine power, or perhaps the ancient system in the fortress of disobedience still functioning, and the environment of the floating boulders and the entire "courtyard area" remained basically stable.

Gawain came to a place just a few meters away from the god of nature—between the latter's immense size, and the body that glowed white stood in front of him like a wall. The other looked up at the drooping head of the giant deer, the lifeless skull encircled by chains, flesh studded with unknown metal. The chains were left behind by the Gondor people, and the unknown metal ...... Among them should be both the wreckage of the sky and the fragments of some kind of space fighter.

"I'm curious now......" Gawain whispered as if talking to himself, looking up and down the head of the giant deer, "are you really dead?" ”

As expected, the giant deer Ammon did not respond.

Gawain smiled and shook his head, "I don't know your purpose or what your plans were back then, but if you think the time is right, we can talk now—if you have something you want to talk to me about." ”

The corpse of the god in front of him was still lying there quietly, but Gawain didn't care, he just smiled, and said unhurriedly as he recalled: "Now think back, I once heard a mysterious voice in the fortress of disobedience, and that voice asked me if I was ready...... I thought it was a hallucination, but now it seems that I was not mistaken. ”

"So quiet now?" After a moment of silence, Gawain raised his head, looked at the giant deer Amon's closed eyes, and said casually, "But the 'movement' of your collision back then was not small, the space station that was originally located above the equator, and the debris from the explosion even fell to the north temperate zone. ”

The slowly flowing white light that shrouded the body of the giant deer suddenly froze for a moment at an imperceptible magnitude, and then, without warning, his eyes, which had always been closed, slowly opened.

A pair of huge eyes that seemed to be condensed from pure light stared at Gawain silently, and these eyes were so huge that Hettie and the others who stayed behind the security barrier in the distance could clearly see this scene - Amber jumped almost immediately, and Veronica lifted the platinum scepter in her hand in an instant, but just before they were about to take action to sound the alarm, Gawain, who was facing away from them, suddenly raised his hand and waved it to show that he was not impatient.

Gawain had his back to the fortress of disobedience, he couldn't see the situation of Hetty and the others, but he could guess that everyone must have been taken aback at the moment, so he gave the signal as soon as possible, in order to let the others calm down temporarily.

Then he met the gaze of the giant deer Ammon and shrugged: "You scared me." ”

"You scared me." An ethereal and holy, as if it had been transmitted directly to the soul, also sounded in Gawain's mind.

The voice came so synchronously that Gawain was almost unsure for a moment whether it was the god of nature expressing his feelings or simply repeating himself—and the next second he felt very admired for himself, because it was a very powerful thing that he could still have a murmur in his head at such a time.

After using the words in his head to fight the tension for a while, and maintaining an indifferent and calm attitude on the surface, Gao Wen nodded: "You really faked your death - the fall of the god of nature is a hoax. ”

"No, the fall of the god of nature is not a hoax," the ethereal voice echoed in Gawain's mind - the sight was indeed a bit strange, because the whole body of the giant deer Ammon was still firmly imprisoned in place, and even if he opened his eyes, he only looked at Gawain quietly, only his voice kept coming, which made Gawain have a feeling of talking to the ghost who was living in the corpse, "The god of nature is dead, and only Ammon is lying here." ”

Gawain immediately frowned: "What does this sentence mean?" ”

Amone didn't answer immediately, but looked at Gawain quietly and asked, "Why do you know about the space station and that impact?" ”

"We all have some secrets—and my source of intel is probably the least important of all them," Gawain said, "and the important thing is that I already know this, and I'm standing right here." ”

“…… You can't be an ordinary human. After a few seconds of silence, Amone said suddenly.

Gawain raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?" ”

"No ordinary human can stand before me like you—even in my current state, it is impossible for an ordinary mortal to stand at such a close distance unprotected," said Amourne, "and no ordinary man would have the same mind as you, nor would he have the same reverence or fear for the gods as you have. ”

“…… I'll admit, I may be a little bit special," Gawain nodded calmly, "but is that important?" ”

"Something important," replied Amone, "because I can still feel a special aura in you...... It repels and oppresses me, and makes me subconsciously want to distance myself from you - in fact, if it weren't for these confinements, I would have chosen to leave this place the first time you came here......"

Gawain didn't miss every word the other party said, and while listening to Amone's reply, he kept thinking in his own heart:

This "god of nature" can sense some special aura of his "satellite spirit", and instinctively feel repulsion, this should be the legacy left by the "god killing fleet" itself has a special suppression effect on the gods, and this suppression effect will extend to himself with the invisible connection, but in addition to perceiving this breath, Amone does not seem to be able to accurately identify the connection between himself and the satellite......

Of course, all this was based on the fact that the god of nature did not lie and act, and out of caution, Gawain decided that no matter what attitude or words and deeds the other party showed, he would only believe half of it.

Under this premise, he will protect his secrets, and will never reveal anything to this god of nature who has been suspended for three thousand years unless necessary!

"I once held a fragment from the starry sky," Gawain said slowly, revealing the truth that was true but had nothing to do with "myself", "that fragment affected me and made me something special. As I think you've guessed, that debris was created when you hit the space station. I don't know if you can accept this statement - just by touching it, I can learn a lot of knowledge, knowledge beyond human comprehension......"

"Ah...... It's not hard to imagine," Ammon's voice came into Gawain's head, "those legacies...... They have the power to record their own history and imprint information into your mortal minds, and this is how the so-called 'Tablet of Eternity' comes into play. It's just that there are very few mortals who can successfully withstand this kind of 'brand inheritance', and there are ...... like you who have made profound changes Even if it's the first time I've seen it.

"That's not a perfect answer, I'm sure you're hiding a lot of details, but that's enough."

"Then let's go back to our original topic," Gawain said at once, "the god of nature is dead, and only Ammon is lying here—what does that mean?" ”

Amone looked at Gawain silently, "Before I answer, I have one more question for you - are you really ready?" ”

"What preparation?" Gawain frowned, "Do the gods like you like this kind of dumb riddle?" ”

"This is not a riddle, but a protection of your fragile minds," Amone said lightly, "since you are standing here, I think you must have the most basic knowledge of some secrets, so you should know too...... The more you come into contact with the gods, the more you drift away from humans, and the more you know, the closer you get to the gods......

"The answer to some questions is not just the answer, the answer itself is a test and a shock.

"So, before you ask any question, before you want to inquire into any secret, think about it: Are you really ready? Do...... Prepare to get closer to the gods. ”

Gawain frowned, he thought about Amone's words very seriously, and after weighing it, he said slowly, "I think we've ventured deep enough in this field, at least I'm ready to talk to you." ”

"In that case, it's fine," Amone's tone seemed to bring a slight smile to his tone, "The answer is simple, I destroyed my own god position - it took a little risk, but judging by the results, it was all worth it." I am glad to see that the mortals who once believed in the way of nature experienced a lot of confusion and perhaps despair, but they managed to come out and accept that the gods had fallen—that the gods of nature were dead, that the believers were grieving, and that the inheritance of the church was divided.

"They didn't try to create a new god after their grief...... And after most believers have mastered the power of nature through long and arduous study and study, the chances of a new god being born have been minimized, all of which is in line with my original calculations.

"I'm done."

Gawain listened to every word that Amone said, a trace of consternation had already surfaced on his face, and he couldn't help but take a breath: "You mean, you went to crash the space station in order to destroy your own god position?" The purpose is to create an established fact for the believers that the gods have fallen? ”

"The established fact of creating the 'fall of the gods' is only one of the reasons, on the other hand, I must also allow myself to 'die' once - only in this way can the transmission of divine power be cut off."

"Cut off the transmission of divine power?" Gawain immediately captured the crux of this sentence, "You are saying that the transmission of divine power is not controlled by the gods themselves!?" ”

"That's it," Ammon said with a smile more pronounced than the previous one, "It seems that you do know a lot about this, and it reduces the barriers to communication between us, and I don't need to explain a lot of things to you." ”

"But I have a question," Gawain couldn't help but say, "why are you doing this?" Destroy the gods, fake their deaths, and even be trapped here for three thousand years...... Why would a god take the initiative to do this? ”

Amonen fell silent, and after a full half a minute of silence, its voice sounded in Gawain's head:

“…… Break the cycle. ”
