There was not a glimmer of light in the strange towers that rose from the horizon.

Huge waves suddenly rose in the calm waters, the moonlight shone bleakly on the black basalt towers, and the "boom" of being beaten by the waves like a flood of beasts was deafening.

As recorded in the Old Testament Book of Genesis, the infinitely high Tower of Babel is still slowly rising.

It is said that there was once a common language of mankind: Adam.

They joined forces to build a tower that they hoped would lead to heaven. In order to stop the human plan, the all-knowing man made the human beings speak different languages, so that the human beings could not communicate with each other, and the plan failed, and the human race has been scattered ever since.

Babelta, that's what it is called.

For the sake of promise, the all-knowing man will no longer drown the bud of civilization with a great flood.

After the Great Flood, the first rainbow appeared in the sky.

The Knowing One came and said, "I have put the rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of my covenant with the earth, and when I will cover the earth, a rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will remember the covenant I have made with you and with every living creature of flesh; and the waters shall no longer overflow, and shall no longer destroy every living creature of flesh. ”

The All-Knowing One made a pact with the people of the earth by a rainbow that he would not destroy the earth with a great flood.

Since then, everyone in the world speaks the same language and has the same accent.

The ark of the Lord Noah came to rest on the earth, and the descendants of the descendants spread over the earth, and they migrated eastward.

In Shinar they came across a plain, so they stopped and settled there.

One day, the question was raised: How do we know that there will be no more floods in Noah's time that will drown us, just as we did to our ancestors?

"This is evidenced by the rainbow," replied one of the people, "When we see the rainbow, we are reminded of the promise of the All-Knowing that He will never destroy the world with a flood again." ”

"But there's no reason to pin our future and the future of our children and grandchildren on the rainbow." Another argued, "We should do something about it so that the flood doesn't happen again." ”

So they consulted with one another, and said, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." ”

Then they said, "Come, let us build a city and a tower with the top of the tower reaching up to heaven, that we may proclaim our name, so that we may not be scattered over all the earth." ”

Thanks to the common language and concerted efforts, the giant tower was soon built into the sky.

This anger angered the all-knowing, and wild fury burned in him.

The omniscient find his oath under suspicion and do not allow humans to doubt their oath, just as we do not like others to doubt themselves. The All-Knowing Man decided to punish those who forgot their promises, just as they punished Adam and Eve, who had stolen the forbidden fruit.

His apostles were scattered among the crowds, and soon the language of the people was lost, the accents were mixed, and the people were scattered and scattered all over the country, and the work of building cities and towers was stopped.

Later, the city was called Babel, and the unfinished tower was Babelta, which means chaos and noise.

Human hubris will end up in chaos.

On top of the huge dark tower, it seems that there are occasional seabirds flying by and stopping on it.

But fishermen who are familiar with the sea know that in that kind of wind of nearly 9 magnitude, even the seagulls, which are known for fighting storms, do not dare to hover over them, let alone other seabirds.

The birds were strangely looking, with fluffy wings spread out to a length of three meters, and slender bodies, like ominous bloodlines recorded in mythology.

Above the tower was a fractured black rock, as if it had been broken by something, and above it, there were no clouds.

When the clouds are a little thinner, a looming object occasionally shows a corner.

Surprisingly, it was also black, and it was a huge tower of equal pitch black, hanging upside down, mirroring the tower in the sea.

A strong light burst out from the top, through the vast darkness of the night, like a giant searchlight sweeping across the four fields. After only a few seconds of flickering, the light went out, and the black tower glowed with a translucent red light, like a candle burning in a hollow eggshell.

The huge sense of energy caused the surrounding sea water to stir up huge waves hundreds of meters high, and the fluctuations of energy spread throughout the planet, and also shocked the hearts of someone thousands of miles away.

He did feel the fluctuation of that energy, and it was still so shocking.

As if he had a premonition of something, the corners of his mouth sneered slightly.

Here it comes!

What he was waiting for came, this powerful energy could not be anything else, he had already seen the surging waves.

But at the moment, he had only one thought - to take it greedily for himself.

This is a power that humans do not deserve.

After the central tower was raised, unusual anomalies occurred in other parts of the planet - earthquakes of magnitude 3 and 4, local mountain collapses, huge waves on the surface of the sea, and 1,143 other towers were about to break ground.

In the mountains, on the barren plains, in the sea, in the lakes, in the deserts, in the huge glaciers, in the villages and towns of man......

It's just that no one knows what it is or why it happens.

……

Thirty kilometers from the mining city, Zhuge Yun stood on a hillside behind a makeshift tin house.

This is a relic of a pre-civilization that the Lin family is excavating.

The ruins are huge, but they are so badly damaged that the most valuable parts are buried deep underground.

On Zhuge Yun's hand, there were tufts of hair-like things levitating, which were emitting blue light under the injection of spiritual power, and these things were found from here.

A cast bio-cell core can be cut into dozens of sections, each of which can power a mass-produced locomotive.

Bart and Fett, who have been stationed here for 2 weeks, are seriously investigating the unearthed objects.

"Uncle Yan, the inventory has been completed, and there are about 13 tons in the warehouse."

Fett holds a notebook-like device in his hand—a small brain. He wears a strange pair of glasses on his head that display data, covering almost half of his face.

This is a replica of a pre-civilization that Mr. Spectre took from Domino's lab, and the energy is powered by a newly developed small battery, which is only 200 times the capacity of the battery at auction, but enough to power this small brain.

With the help of this thing, the two of them are like treasures.

After several nights of exciting, sleepless research, they not only mastered the know-how of use, but also greatly improved their work efficiency.

"Well, there are so many." Zhuge Yun nodded with satisfaction.

"There should be quite a few more below, from the warehouse that has just been excavated, it is estimated that there are at least nearly 10 tons, and more than 20 such rooms have been identified."

"Dongfang, come here."

Dongfang Lu, who was using the eyes equipped with the tomography function to survey the terrain of the ruins, heard the call of the master, and ran in front of him with a few ups and downs.

"Replace this with a freshly made battery."

"Yes!"

Dongfang Lu's body, since it was completely transformed by the master's supreme ability, has simply admired him to the extent that he has been worshipped.

The muscles in the breastplate swirled, revealing metal bones through fist-sized holes, and a traction beam shot out of his chest, sucking in small spiral discs the size of a little thumb.

Suddenly, a feeling of energy made him "Ah! A cry came out.

"Well, you should be able to use a new ability, try opening the shield."

Ever since he got that shield ability, Dongfang Lu has not dared to use it, because Zhuge Yun told him that this energy shield consumes too much and can only last for a few minutes.

He had seen the power of this energy shield in George Domino's body, and he was impressed at the time. Even under the frenzied attacks of his rampage energy, the golden lattice-like shield was able to neutralize most of his attacks.

At this moment, Dongfang Luyi stretched out his hand and touched the back of his neck, and his body glowing with blue light was covered with this lattice-like shield from head to toe.

From a distance, he looked like a large silkworm cocoon wrapped in gold.

Now, with the energy of Dongfang Lu's body, even if you put it into the olive-shaped device that the ghost has copied, it will not be a problem.
