The clouds were low, the rain was pouring down, and the whole white sand area was shrouded in a boundless darkness, and under the swirling clouds, the rain curtain seemed to hang upside down from the sky to the ground, and it was so dense that it was doubtful that it would suffocate in it, and in this apocalyptic darkness and storm, countless strange limbs were growing, countless indescribable things were cheering and condensing from the rain, and all who witnessed it—the soldiers, officers, war technicians on the Iron Throne, I will never forget the spiritual shock of this scene.

The entire crew of the Iron Throne has passed a san-check, and now the whole train is filled with a positive and optimistic atmosphere.

"Turn off the mental protection system." Commander Maryland felt that his mind was clearer than ever, and judged that the on-board mental protection system was no longer useful, so he ordered.

The indescribable structure was still moving, and it hung down from the cloud top vortex, as if a colossal deep-sea creature was licking the earth with countless tentacles, but it wasn't just this massive structure that emerged from the clouds - when the lightning exploded and the light was at its strongest, Maryland could see many smaller humanoids shuttling between the tentacles, seemingly holding all sorts of tools, busy in the chaotic feast, with the help of the powerful vision of the transcendental, Maryland was able to distinguish that some of the individuals were similar in appearance to Miss Tyre in the territory.

But there are other instances that are not so well described...... In addition to the humanoid body, they put together all kinds of bizarre limbs, and some of them even didn't know whether they were limbs or not, as if they were ...... It's like it's long and long......

Those were Cecil's allies, the Sirens from the depths.

Thankfully, this powerful ethnic group was an ally of Cecil.

The adjutant walked over from the side, and the young officer had a look of confusion on his face: "General, what do we need to do now?" ”

"Don't do anything," Maryland said to the adjutant, "just wait for the rain to stop." ”

"Yes, General."

Both of them raised their heads at the same time, looking through the shield-covered train window at the feast in the distance.

In the center of this dark rainstorm, in the central area of the Leap Field, which has almost completely evolved into the water elemental realm, the "forest" formed by the tentacles has completely isolated the artificial god from the external environment, and the "Sea Emperor" giant beast jointly simulated by three thousand two hundred tide banshees covered this area with its unprecedentedly large body, and between the thousands of tentacles hanging down by the Sea Emperor, the rune brilliance flickered and flickered, and the layers of illusory force fields intertwined into an impermeable barrier. All of the giant deer's desperate resistance was in vain in the face of that powerful barrier.

And in the area shrouded by the Sea Emperor, inside the barrier, Vanessa, the Kraken general with the title of Lord of the Deep Sea, is directing the Deep Sea Warriors to complete the final processing of the "food".

The tempestuous environment is a "mimic ocean" created by the Elemental Leap Field, and the Krakens can move freely in such an environment, and they are now swimming through the rain as if they were swimming in the ocean, slicing through the huge body of the giant deer that is still instinctively struggling with the long-handled charged blades in their hands.

This is a rather dangerous job, although the giant deer is dead, the huge vitality and magic left in its body are still maintaining those flesh and blood, and even allowing those flesh to survive on their own for a while after being cut apart, in the face of this kind of opponent, even if the powerful warriors of the deep sea, even if they create a home field advantage and ambush advantage, the Krakens still have some casualties.

Near the shoulder and neck of the giant deer, an overly reckless warrior of the deep sea swung his blade and sliced through a piece of flesh that was still wriggling, and a blinding arc of lightning erupted from the wound without warning, slashing head-on at the hapless kraken's body, who only had time to let out a scream before it shattered into a splash of water that dissipated into the air.

The Krakens, who were busy nearby, saw this scene, and several of them shouted: "Ahhhh ”

This is a very popular taunt in Kraken society, used to mock Krakens who accidentally die because of their carelessness.

Vanessa, who happened to swim nearby, swung her snake tail, picked up the blade dropped by the Death Warrior, and waved it at the soldiers who were a little forgetful: "Pay attention to order!" Unless you haven't died since you were a child! ”

The soldiers hurriedly dispersed and continued their mission to cut the carcass of the giant deer or deal with the "troubled products" that had grown from the blood of the giant deer, while Vanessa casually tossed the recovered blade to a kraken who was beside her, who had transformed into a sea demon with a large number of wrists and feet, each of which now had several blades rolled around it.

"Take these weapons back, don't leave any of them behind, and come back when they're resurrected."

A tidal banshee with a lilac fishtail swam in from a distance, holding a short staff with intricate patterns in her hand, and many samples of cut pieces of meat floated in the blisters around her: "General, the cut pieces of meat have been preliminarily identified." ”

"How did it turn out?"

"Good taste!" The purple-tailed kraken nodded vigorously at first, and then frowned slightly, "But the taste is not very good, and the energy is a little mixed, this thing is very much like some kind of combination product, and the technology is very immature." In addition, its regeneration is also limited, and it should have exceeded the threshold at the moment, and its regeneration ability is declining sharply, which is not at all comparable to the large squid......"

"Hmm...... It's not surprising, after all, it's an 'imitation' made by humans," Vanessa said casually, "It's normal to have poor quality, but at least it's full, isn't it?" Also, can this thing power the reactor? ”

"It should be fine, but we need an extra layer of extraction, otherwise it may put some pressure on the reactor," the purple-tailed kraken said seriously, "If the rainbow technology transmitted by Tyr can be used smoothly, our energy conversion efficiency will be increased by more than 30%, and this new batch of fuel will be very cost-effective." ”

"Very well, then collect them all - when you go back, part of it will be used for everyone to replenish consumption, and part of it will be used to supply energy to the reactor, and it will be up to the queen to decide how to distribute it."

"Yes, General," the Purple-Tailed Siren nodded, then glanced at the deer being cut, "It's incredible...... This season's terrestrial civilization can actually make such a thing. I always thought they were very low-tech, but they built the Rainbow Device and they built it...... I don't know if their technology to make this thing can be made public, and if they can, maybe they can solve the problem of insufficient production of large squid. ”

"I'm afraid not," Vanessa sighed, "I've heard that the technology used to create this 'god' is very cruel and dark, not only is it unacceptable to human beings' own morals, but the queen doesn't intend to ask for it, we are only here to dispose of these 'technological products', as for the technology itself...... Just die. ”

The Purple-Tailed Kraken blinked and muttered, "I can't accept it myself, but I still created it, humans are really a strange race......"

"Their race is divided, that's one of the traits, it can't be helped," Vanessa said, "The humans we're working with are just one of their races, and there are many similar races in human society...... It's a hassle to figure out the difference between them. ”

The purple-tailed kraken thought for a moment and let out a regretful sigh: "Alas...... It's really rare to have such good cooking skills. ”

"yes, it's rare to have such good cooking skills."

……

It's over.

In the velvet study of Silver Castle, a holographic projection device displays the latest information from the Iron Throne.

Heaven and earth are shrouded in darkness, storms wash over the white sand region, huge deep-sea creatures descend in the rain, and a gluttonous feast is the final end of the man-made god.

In Gawain's view, this is really a hopeful image, but it is a pity that the picture is too shocking, and it does not seem suitable to be open to the public in the current social context.

"We can think about how to publicize it next," Gawain tapped lightly on the table, drawing the attention of the two guardian dukes (archons), "This catastrophe caused by the end of all things is only beginning to end, but we still have a lot to do to get it to a smooth landing." ”

Duke Bodwin took a light breath, but couldn't help but ask, "Is that the 'Kraken' you mentioned?" ”

"That's right, Krakens, the deep sea races that appear in many legends, but unlike most legendary races, they are real, and they have established some connection with us."

Bai Dewen seemed to have something to say, but he wanted to say it and stopped, but Victoria next to him spoke directly: "Is this risky?" ”

"It's risky to come into contact with any alien race, but sometimes we don't have a choice, and in my personal judgment, these Krakens can be trusted—the South has been in contact with the Krakens for two years, and we have some technical exchanges, although not on a large scale, but at least to a certain level of equal dialogue."

Bodwin and Victoria exchanged glances, seemingly relieved, but still a little nervous.

Gawain certainly knows why.

He spread his hands and leaned back in his high-backed chair: "I know what you're worried about, frankly, they're a very powerful race, and although their domain is in the deep sea, they can indeed cause a storm on land if they want to...... Storm in every sense of the word, but we must be aware of one fact:

"Whether we like it or not, there are such powerful races in this world, the Krakens exist, the dragons exist, and some powerful races that only exist in legends may also exist, they may live far away, but if they want, they can come to this Loren continent, and we ...... You can't even get out of the coastline.

"These races do exist, and the only thing we should be thankful for as those of us who are blocked by the sea and our level of civilization is that at least they are not hostile to us.

"But this 'no hostility' is not something we earned, it is a gift from fate.

"There are only two things we can do, first, to face this fact, because evasion and pretending to be deaf and dumb will not solve the problem; Second, develop yourself, don't stop at the current moment of peace, don't be blinded by short-term prosperity, outside our eyes, the world is still very big, if you want to survive in this big world for a long time, development is the last word. ”

Gawain put it bluntly, and in the eyes of the two archons, this bluntness might even be a bit of a blow to their self-confidence as humans.

It's hard to admit that you're weak, and it's even harder for people like them.

But there are some facts that must be recognized, and many times the impetus for development lies in the realization of its own shortcomings, and this is precisely what the human beings in this land lacked after seven hundred years of being locked inland and peacefully under heavy protection, and in some ways, it was also one of the reasons for the decline of the former Ansu Kingdom.

The Kraken is a peace-loving race, and these curious, lively and friendly creatures from the deep sea are valuable allies of the Duchy of Cecil (now the Cecil Empire), but as Gawain said, this "friendliness" is not earned by humans themselves, but only by human luck.

That's why Gawain attaches so much importance to the "technical cooperation" between Cecil and the Kraken, even if the cooperation is only one or two key technologies, which means that at least humans are qualified to "talk" with these deep-sea creatures.

If the Cecils didn't even have iridescent technology in their hands, would those creatures of the deep sea be interested in a small principality on a distant land, no matter how friendly they were?

I'm afraid that a glance at the backward humans on land will delay them from digging squid.

Development is the last word, which Cecil people know, and have tasted the sweetness from development, but there are still more than half of the people in this country who don't know, the two archons in front of Gawain may be the wisest of this majority of the people, they have felt a trace of urgency of "social progress", but in order to make them more deeply aware of the importance of development and broaden their horizons, Gawain needs to show them something more intuitive.

Patrick next to him showed a thoughtful look, and Victoria understood what Gawain meant by this.

At this moment, the two dukes suddenly had a certain feeling - Gawain who came back from the dead? Duke Cecil is really like an elder in the family, who is trying his best to maintain the survival of this "family" almost all the time, and has to always find a way to discipline and guide those bear children who do not obey discipline, pay attention to guidance, pay attention to warnings, pay attention to preaching, and tirelessly remind: "Don't touch this; Don't touch that; Don't waste your studies; Beware of danger; To exercise; Eat more vegetables; Be in harmony with your brothers and sisters......"

However, no one listened to him, and the bears demolished the house in a civil war, burned down the kitchen and warehouse (the eastern grain producing area of the Holy Spirit Plain), and forced the old ancestor to get up from his bed at the age of more than 700 to put out the fire......

The two dukes subconsciously looked at Gawain, and at the same time felt that it was really not easy for this founding hero.

Gawain noticed the change in their eyes, and was pleased that his efforts to guide the transformation of the two old nobles had paid off, but he soon felt that there was something wrong with their eyes......

……

At the same time, within the Shadow Realm, the deepest part of the fortress of disobedience.

In the dark and chaotic void space, large and small floating boulders and islands formed a fragmented earth, and a large area of ancient warship wreckage emitting a faint glimmer surrounded a giant deer corpse emitting white light, in this space that seemed to be eternal silence, the giant deer Amorn opened his eyes slightly, and in his crystal eyes, there were scenes that kept flashing:

Trains covered in steel armor and shields sped along the tracks, and enraged artificial gods chased after them.

The artillery positions of the mortals were in full swing, bombarding the gods and calamities that were storming the front.

The torrential rain poured, the spatial rifts spread out in the thick clouds, and the indescribable alien limbs hung down from the sky, tearing at the corpse of the giant deer, feasting on it.

Deep underground, in the rift valley, in the collapsed and cracked ancient palace, a vibrant but extremely strange plant grew between the rock walls, and countless vines spread out around it, this plant was so large that it covered a small half of the rift, and a shocking tear and burning mark could be seen spreading from its bottom to the top.

Scenes flashed by, and finally gradually returned to nothingness.

After a long period of dead silence, the crystalline eyeballs dimmed, and the giant deer Amone closed his eyes again, and the white glimmer around him dimmed slightly.
