Chapter 812: The World After the Decay
When those illusory lights came on, and those phantom spiders came in like a tide, Gawain just watched quietly.
He knew that the spiders were menacing, and that they probably had some eerie powers from the upper narrators, but Yuri and Magnum were also archbishops of the Eternal Sleepers, and if they were taken seriously, they could hold up for a long time.
What's more, there is Selena Gefen, the "soul protector" who has broken through the legend, and the situation will not get out of control.
And as for Gawain himself...... He's certainly not doing nothing.
From the moment he entered this No. 1 sandbox, he dispersed his spirit and perceived everything in this world, although this sandbox world has been made true and false, but its essence is still a dream world, and in such a dream world, the "spiritual power" is more active and effective than any situation.
At first, he didn't notice anything, and all that came from the edge of the psychic detection were normal simulated perceptions, and even when Duvalt and Naretir appeared, he couldn't detect any discord from each other, but until the spiders appeared, the lights came on, and those "abnormal" things appeared in this "normal" city-state, he finally sensed the deep disconnection and discord in this world.
Magnum heard Gawain's self-talk, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim, "What did you find?!" ”
"We always thought that the biggest change in this sandbox world was the disappearance of all the inhabitants, but in fact...... The truth is more complicated than that, and it's right under our noses. Gawain said unhurriedly, he slowly opened his hands, and some bizarre fragments began to appear abruptly beside him, and the spider shadows that kept breeding between the gaps of light and shadow in all directions seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and surged in a moment of madness, as if trying to stop Gawain's next move.
But what Gawain had to do was done.
Huge and meaningless fragments of history surged out around him, turning into a turbulence that ordinary human minds could not handle at all, and the turbulence expanded even faster than Magnum's psychic storm, and more than the lights that spread throughout the city and the world—
This is a fragment of history that has never appeared in Sandbox No. 1, and it is unfamiliar data that has not been processed by the entire psychic network, and even some of it is ...... It is the "knowledge" and "concept" that the eternal sleepers who create the mental network have never heard of.
They are vicious bugs for the whole world.
The whole city shook, the whole desert shook, and finally, the whole space shook—
Far from the depths of the desert of Nim Sandro, standing like an inverted arthropod on the top of a mountain peak in the yellow sand, Duvalt struggled to maintain his balance in the ever-shaking space, watching as the desert and the city-state in the distance quickly fell apart, revealing the real world beneath the illusion—the ruins of a withered and finished world—and his old face was full of consternation: "How did he find out...... How did he do it...... What the hell are these incomprehensible things......"
In Duvalt's stunned muttering, Naretir, who had been sitting on the ground looking at the stars, seemed to wake up from a dream, and she suddenly stood up and stared blankly at the night sky above the city-state of Nim Sandra in the distance, a round of silver-white light reflected in her clear turquoise eyes.
"It's beautiful...... Big Star. ”
Duvalt followed Naretir's line of sight and saw the strange celestial body hanging high in the sky.
It was clear, brighter than any star, but colder and smaller than the sun, and it shed a flawless light, and under its light, the "false veil" covering the surface of the world disintegrated at an even more alarming rate—
"What's that?"
……
"What's that?"
Magnum looked in shock at the strange celestial body that suddenly appeared in the sky, at the silver plate that was many times smaller than the sun, but still lit up the night sky, and saw that the sky around the silver plate was quickly covered with cracks, as if the whole world was cracking around it, and he was at a loss for a while.
"It's called 'The Moon,'" Gawain said with a smile, "something that doesn't exist in this world." ”
Instead of using the word "moon" that was already in this world, Gawain directly pronounced the pronunciation in a language he knew in his previous life, which sounded particularly strange to Magnum.
There is no such thing as a celestial body called the moon, and if you have to look for a similar concept, there is only the "moon" that magicians conceived during their rituals to symbolize the position of the goddess of magic, and the word "month" used in the calendar to distinguish the six phases of the year.
These two words have nothing to do with "moon", it is Gawain who translates them as "moon" in his mind.
In the real world, he looked up at the night sky countless times, and all he saw was a moonless, unfamiliar starry sky.
Thanks to this fake sandbox world, he bathed in moonlight for the first time in countless years - although this moonlight was fake, and even a fatal bug for this sandbox world.
Yuri watched in horror as Gawain smiled happily in the light of that strange celestial body, and there was only one thought in his mind—
The terrifying Extraterritorial Wanderer has summoned a certain celestial body in his homeland through some kind of rule loophole, and this celestial body obviously has terrifying powers, and its mere existence is enough to tear the world apart - the Extraterritorial Wanderer and his homeland are indeed terrifying.
Then he was extremely glad: fortunately, this was only a sandbox world, and the extraterritorial wanderer could only summon a projection......
At this moment, the shock and disintegration of the whole world finally gradually stopped.
The sandbox system barely regained its balance under the impact of this terrible bug, and as Gawain expected, the flood of erroneous data he created alone was not enough to destroy the entire "world", but he had achieved the effect he wanted-
Destroy the "veil" that covers the real world.
Selena looked around and saw that everything had changed.
The deserted city-state of Nim Sanjo was gone, and even the entire desert had become a dry and cracked wasteland, and the lights and spiders of the past had dissipated like a dream, replaced by countless crumbling walls, unbalanced mountains and cities, and layers of urban ruins, all of which were piled up like abandoned models on the endless plains, all the way to the end of sight, to the borders of the world.
The world was abandoned, and the things that were once used to compose everything became a messy garbage heap, which was placed on the ruins of the world and slowly rotted.
"It's ......," Magnum muttered softly.
"After the end of the world," Yuri frowned, "this is ...... Really a sandbox? ”
"On top of this real world, there is a false veil, and the previous exploration team failed to see through this curtain before it was gradually eroded in the endless battle with the phantom, and the so-called 'fighting with themselves' scene in their memories is probably a false memory instilled in them by the veil," Gawain said slowly, his gaze gradually moving upward, falling on the huge shadow in the distance, "and the most critical problem now is that the upper narrator ......"
The earth rose in the distance, forming a structure that looked like a spiral tower and a cone-shaped hill, and an incomparably huge body was quietly prostrate on its half-waist.
It was a black spider, or some kind of spider-like "creature," and it ...... Or rather, it was beyond human comprehension, almost as large as a hill, and countless shadowy patterns covered its dorsal armor and arthropods, which seemed to have life, and were still moving.
There was also a cold moonlight shining from the sky, sprinkled on the surface of the huge spider body, which made this huge "monster" not terrifying, but more sacred and majestic.
And the spider lay quietly prone in the moonlight, as if it had been dead for a century.
A faint but pervasive smell of rancid smell permeated the heavens and the earth, hovering over the plains after the end of the world.
The gods are dead and rotting.
Magnum glanced into the distance, his gaze fell on the giant spider, and in the next second, he felt that his soul was about to be torn out of his body, and every cell in his body seemed to be about to mutate, and a feeling of being wrapped in layers of invisible silk threads quickly overwhelmed his perception, as if to control his mind and block his thoughts of shouting.
The red-haired archbishop instantly reacted to what had happened - he had been polluted by the upper narrator!
"Damn it!" Magnum struggled against the spiritual erosion, diverting his gaze from the giant spider with all his might, and then quickly dispelled the "alien spirits" that had begun to modify his consciousness, and said with great effort, "Beware of pollution! ”
A clear and warm light lit up beside him, quickly reducing the pressure on Magnum and Yuri, and Selena Gehr, who was holding a lantern in her hand, stepped forward, blocking the influence of the upper narrator, and at the same time subconsciously looked at Gawain: "Extraterritorial wanderer, that's ......"
"It's indeed the upper narrator," Gawain's gaze fell on the giant divine spider in the distance, and his tone was indescribably complicated, "It looks like he's been dead for a long time......
"Dead, really dead......" Magnum exerted enough mental protection on himself, but still didn't dare to look directly at the massive corpse of the god, and muttered in disbelief, "Really dead?!" ”
"At least it seems," Gawain frowned, "and it looks...... He really is a god. ”
The spider lying prone on the hillside did already possess some of the characteristics of a god - powerful spiritual erosion, not to be looked at, not to be touched, even if it had turned into a corpse, it was still extremely dangerous to approach it rashly without protection, and even a high-level powerhouse like Magnum was almost deeply polluted when he first came into contact.
Even if there may be a difference between the upper narrator and the true gods in terms of the specific "pollution intensity", Gawain has reason to believe that the giant spider has indeed gone on the path of the gods.
It was only at this moment that he finally confirmed some of his previous speculations about the gods......
As for Gawain himself, as expected, the pollution of the upper narrator was equally ineffective for him.
This made him calmly observe the huge spider in the distance for a long time before he unhurriedly withdrew his gaze.
"Can you still hold it?"
"I've eased up," Magnum let out a long exhale, "I've suppressed some of my psychic power to prevent it from unconsciously attracting outside pollution, and I'm still remembering this—"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and sketched a complex rune pattern in mid-air, which was curvy and curvy, with the breath of the deep sea, which was the "Kraken Rune" that Gawain had given to the Eternal Sleepers as a gift before.
"The pollution came too fast just now, and I didn't have time to construct runes," Magnum said with a wry smile, and used the rune culture as a fixed light and shadow and printed it on his clothes, forming a special "mental protective layer", "...... Whew, I feel so much better now. When are we going to dig ...... No, nothing. ”
Yuri and Selena also constructed the Siren Rune and formed a mental protective layer around them, and the former shook his head after doing all this, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face: "Is this just looking directly at the gods...... Mortals are so fragile that they almost die casually. ”
"Gods also die," Gawain said, gesturing to the giant spider in the moonlight in the distance, "and already dead." ”
Magnum cautiously glanced at the cone-shaped hill in the distance, and after confirming that the Siren rune could indeed help him resist the spiritual pollution of the upper narrator, he dared to look up: "We're going...... Where the hell? ”
Gao Wen nodded as a matter of course, turned around and walked towards the hill: "Of course, isn't this what we're here for?" ”
Magnum smacked his lips and shook his head, muttering to Yuri behind him as he followed Gawain's footsteps, "Damn it...... I should probably borrow you a pen and paper before I go......"
