Chapter 944: Space-Time Rift

Those "poems" are neither sounds nor words, but appear suddenly like some kind of "thought" that comes directly to the mind, which is the direct indoctrination of information, a "super-experience" beyond the human senses, and for this "super-experience" ...... Gawain is no stranger.

Even the verses themselves were familiar to him.

He had come into contact with the relics of the Voyager more than once, the first two of which were the Eternal Slate, the first time, he learned about the battle report of the Ancient God-Slaying War from the information carried by the Slate, and the second time, the information he got from the Eternal Slate was the strange and obscure "verses" of unknown meaning just now!

For a moment, he fixed his gaze on the glowing area at the base of the Eternal Storm, he sensed that something related to the Voyager's legacy was connecting with him, and that thing had probably been sleeping in the center of the storm for countless years, and he tried to concentrate his attention, trying to secure that connection, but just as he was about to make progress, Melita's exclamation suddenly came from ahead:

"Ahh......h

With this short exclamation, the dragon, which was trying to sweep past the center of the storm at an angle, suddenly began to descend, and Melita, as if suddenly being held by some powerful force, began to rush headlong under the storm at a thrilling angle, in the direction of the most violent, chaotic, and dangerous of the cyclone!

"Wow!!" Amber suddenly exclaimed, and the whole person jumped more than a meter high, "What's going on...... Hey, don't fall down!! ”

"I don't know! I can't help it! Melita shouted in front of her, trying her best to maintain her flying stance, but some invisible force was still dragging her downwards - the mighty dragon was like a helpless bird in the face of this force, and in the blink of an eye she descended to a very dangerous height, "No! I can't control my balance...... Everyone, hurry up! We're going to hit the surface! ”

"That's not what you said when you set off!" Amber jumped to her feet and screamed, and then rushed to the nearest magic net terminal - she quickly pried open the cover of the device, and pried out the recording crystal board placed in the terminal base at an incredible speed, she scolded loudly while holding the crystal plate containing the data tightly in her hand, and then turned and rushed in the direction of Gawain, shouting as she ran, "Help, help......"

Gawain reached out and tried to grab the amber that was jumping towards him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Veronica with her hands outstretched, summoning a powerful light to build protection against the onslaught, and he saw the dragon's wings sweep backwards in the storm, the chaotic and furious currents of air carrying the storm over Melita's crumbling protective barrier, and the continuous lightning intertwined in the distance, reflecting the dark outlines of the depths of the clouds, and also reflecting some strange scenes in the direction of the eye of the storm—

This was the end of what he saw in his normal vision.

A chaotic light and shadow rushed towards him, like a shattered mirror, filling his vision, and when his visual and spiritual perceptions were seriously disturbed at the same time, he couldn't distinguish the changes in his surroundings at all, he only felt as if he had crossed a layer of "dividing line", which was like some kind of water curtain, with a cold touch piercing the soul, and after crossing the dividing line, the whole world suddenly fell silent.

The feeling of falling at a rapid speed was gone, as were the roaring storms, thunder, and screams of Melita and Amber, and Gawain felt that his surroundings had become so silent that even space seemed to have stopped, and his disturbed vision began to gradually recover, and the light and shadow slowly pieced together clear patterns.

A drowsy sea appeared in front of him, there was a huge whirlpool in the center of the sea, and in the center of the whirlpool stood a strange, spire-like steel giant, countless huge, different shapes of figures were emerging from the surrounding sea and air, as if besieging the "spire" in the center of the vortex sticking out of the sea, and near the spire-like steel thing, there were countless wyvern figures hovering and guarding, as if they were fighting to the death against those fierce and ferocious attackers.

And all of this is static.

The entire sea, including the strange-looking "tower", the huge figures besieging it, the wyverns guarding it, even every wave on the surface of the sea, every drop of water in mid-air, was still in front of Gawain, and a dark blue, as if the color was out of balance, covered everything, making it even more gloomy and strange.

After a brief two-second pause, Gawain suddenly reacted, and he abruptly withdrew his gaze to look beside him and at his feet.

Melita was also still, as if she were an element in the massive static scene, covered in a dull hue, and Veronica was still in place, ready to summon the light with her hands outstretched, but there was no surge of light around her, and Amber remained still - she was even in mid-air, jumping towards her.

Gawain subconsciously turned his neck.

He found himself not still, and probably the only one still alive...... Person.

An indescribable strange feeling came from all directions, and Gawain took a deep breath and forcibly calmed his nervous mood.

Then he looked up and saw that the whole sky was shrouded in a hemispherical "shell" that hung above him like a shattered mirror, and outside the spherical shell he could see a huge cyclone at rest, a storm and the upside-down sea water were frozen in the cyclone, and in the distance, lightning could be seen as if embedded in the cloud wall—the electric light was also apparently still.

This is the center of the Eternal Storm, and the lowest level of the Storm, a place that even dragons like Melita don't know about......

This is the eye of the storm where time and space stand still.

Gawain stood on Melita's back in a static state, frowning and thinking for a long time, realizing that this strange situation didn't seem to go away naturally, he felt compelled to do something.

Staying where you are will not change your situation, although it is equally dangerous to act rashly, but considering that it is impossible to count on rescue in this sea storm far from civilized society, and considering that this is the eye of the storm that even dragons cannot approach, taking the initiative is the only option at present.

He first checked Amber and Veronica's condition, making sure that they were only at rest and that they were not damaged, and then drew the Pioneer Sword he had with him, ready to leave them a few words in case they suddenly gained the same freedom of movement as he did, so as to know the general situation.

He hesitated for a long time to engrave the message on, and finally engraved the message on the dragon scales in front of Amber with a slight apology - Melita must not care about this little "urgency", and she also said before leaving that she didn't mind the "passenger" leaving some small "scratches" on her scales, Gawain thought about it seriously, and felt that carving a few messages on her back should be considered a "small scratch" for a large dragon......

After doing all this, he exhaled, turned and reached the edge of Melita's giant wing, and after checking the height of the sea below, he used his strength to jump down.

As a legendary powerhouse, even if he is not a mage himself, he can't use the flying spells of mages, he can achieve a short stay in the air and slow landing to a certain extent, and Melita is not empty between the sea below, there are some strange pieces like wreckage floating around here, which can be used as a springboard in the process of falling - Gawain used this as a path, while controlling the direction and speed of his fall, while stepping on those wrecks to the surface of the sea quickly.

He stepped on the still sea, and immediately there was a strange touch under his feet - the solid-looking surface of the water was not as "hard" as he thought, but it was not liquid like normal seawater, it seemed to have some strange "elasticity" when he stepped on it, Gawain felt that his feet sank slightly, but when he put his feet on the ground, the sinking feeling disappeared.

He felt as smooth as he was stepping on the ground.

"Strange ......," Gawain muttered to himself softly, "there was indeed a momentary sense of sinking and elasticity just now......

There was no one around who could respond to his self-talk.

Gawain shook his head, took another deep breath, and looked up into the distance.

In the swirling sea, the towering steel creature stood in the center of his field of vision, looking from afar like a strangely shaped mountain, with obvious man-made marks, the surface of which was tightly sealed, and many bulging structures of unknown purpose outside the armor. Gawain didn't feel anything when he watched this scene in mid-air just now, but when he looked at it from the sea, he realized how huge the scale of that thing was—it was bigger than any ship ever built by the Cecil Empire, taller than any tower ever built by mankind, and it seemed that only a part of its structure was exposed above the surface of the sea, but the structure that was exposed alone was already breathtaking.

Gawain couldn't help but look at the huge figures that appeared on the surface of the sea and in mid-air, and at the "attackers" who surrounded them in all directions.

Their forms are so strange that it is not an exaggeration to describe them as strange. Some of them looked like hideous sea monsters with seven or eight heads, some looked like giant beasts made of rock and ice, some even looked like a scorching flame and a mass of air whose shape is difficult to describe in words, and a little further away from the "battlefield", Gawain even saw a faint humanoid silhouette - it looked like a giant with a sword in his hand, and his body was draped in a robe made of starlight and flowing fire, and the giant stepped on the waves. The sword burned with blood......

Gawain had already taken a step, moving swiftly along the still sea towards the "battlefield ruins" at the center of the whirlpool, and the legendary knight's charge approached the speed of sound, and he swept like a phanteur between the massive figures or floating wreckage, while continuing to observe every detail of this strange "battlefield".

The "attackers" who besieged the maelstrom had strange appearances, but they all had exceptionally large sizes, and in Gawain's impression, only the ontology of the giant deer Ammon or the upper-class narrator Narrieil Duvalt had a similar form, and as soon as this association came to him, it was difficult for him to restrain his thoughts from continuing to extend downward—

Who are these massive "attackers"? Why are they gathered here? Are they attacking the steel creature in the middle of the maelstrom? It looks like a battlefield, but when was it? Everything is at a standstill here...... How long did it stand still, and who put it still?

Gawain got closer to the center of the whirlpool, where the surface of the sea was already visibly sloping, full of twisted, solidified wreckage and illusory still flames, and he had to slow down to find a way to continue, and as he slowed down, he also looked up at the sky, at the wings that flew above the whirlpool.

There is no doubt that those are dragons, hundreds of dragons.

They were circling around the steel creatures in the center of the whirlpool, using powerful breaths and various other spells and weapons to fight against the attacks of the huge creatures around them, but these dragons clearly had no advantage at all, the enemy had broken through their defenses, and the steel creatures under the desperate protection of the dragons had suffered severe damage, and it was destined to be an unwinnable battle - although it was still here, Gawain could only see this aspect of the stalemate between the two sides, But he could already tell from the current scene where the battle would end up.

…… But the question is, is the battle over? Have you already decided the winner?

Gawain's footsteps stopped—there were great obstacles and still flames everywhere in front of him, and it became very difficult to find a way forward, and instead of hurrying, he looked around the frozen battlefield and began to think.

If some kind of force intervenes and breaks the stillness on this battlefield, will it immediately start working again? Will this war, which is not known when, continue immediately and be won? Or ...... Everything here will only disappear into a cloud of forgotten history......

Gawain was not sure that everything he saw here was an "entity", and he even suspected that this was just a "silhouette" left by some kind of stagnant time and space, the timeline of this war was actually long over, but a certain scene on the battlefield was preserved by the abnormal space-time structure here, and what he was witnessing was not a real battlefield, but only an image left in time and space.

So...... Which guess is true?
