Chapter 45: Summoning the Dragon
After the battle, Evan's cabinet began to count the battle damage, and the results were naturally extremely tragic. Although this wave of surprise blitzkrieg did not lose combat units, it consumed two-thirds of the hoarded weapons and ammunition. Space-based weapons are also basically half-crippled, and it takes a lot of experience to rebuild them -- the only thing that makes sense is that the safety of people's lives and property is guaranteed, and not a single population is lost.
Therefore, this battle was theoretically a total victory, and it did not bring much joy to Ivan . The funds raised by the qualified have already been spent, and if the next wave has to consume ammunition of this scale, the Menes Empire will definitely be dragged down.
And according to the Book of Seals, after the first seal is lifted, the second seal will be lifted a week later.
He only had seven days to recover from the wear!
So Ivan is very anxious now, and he desperately wants to find another way to deal with the monsters except to spend money. However, there are only two paths in front of him: first, to improve his combat effectiveness and raise himself to a level close to that of a inheritance-level mechanic. Second, with the help of external forces, find a strong man with inheritance-level strength and ask him to help deal with the three seals that are about to be revealed.
The first path was a dead end for him, even if he barely completed the integration of light and darkness and found the true use of the two holy texts. But such an increase can only put him ahead of the mechanics of the same level, and he is by no means an opponent in the face of inheritance-level monsters.
In the power system defined by the Federation, the fifth level can be said to be the highest level of power, and there is an insurmountable gap with the fourth level of ability. Its combat capabilities are basically equivalent to those of space warships, and they are a bunch of monsters that can destroy stars alone. Even if there is no planet to live in, it can survive in the harsh environment of interstellar space.
The second path is the only option for Ivan now, and the most feasible way in front of him is to ask the Evil King to come forward - as long as this great god is willing to come forward, this wave of trials can be easily passed.
......
In the private office of the Space Fortress, Evan rolled up his sleeves and stared at the brand given to him by the Evil King, trying to contact the other party with his spirit: "Lord Bardock, I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm in a big trouble, I hope I can get your help." ”
After the spiritual signal was transmitted to the brand, the dark red brand instantly glowed, revealing a crystal-like shining texture. At the same time, the evil king Bardock also responded to his call, and a spiritual signal that transcended time and space instantly came out of the air:
"I know you're in big trouble, there are energy fluctuations on this planet that outweigh me, and I didn't realize it was because the power was dormant. But now it has gradually awakened, begun to release energy fluctuations, and has become more powerful over time. Little friend, you don't know what monsters you've encountered, and my advice is - get out of this planet as soon as possible!"
"More than your energy fluctuations!?"
Evan's expression became cloudy for a moment, and his heart sank as if it was filled with cold lead. The image of the Evil King dragging the planet at high speed in his mind first crossed his mind, and then he remembered the scene where he tore open the rift in time and space, preparing to jump in space with the planet. Finally, compare the picture of the 'war' and the scene where it is blown to ashes by hundreds of neutron bullets - Nima, this is not a level at all!
"According to my observations, 'war', even if it is fully restored, is by no means an opponent of Lord Bardock. Unless...... After that, the three servants who lift the seal will have a geometric level of strength. He responded immediately.
"It seems that you haven't understood what I mean, those three servants can be destroyed by physical weapons, so it can be seen that they are just miscellaneous fish. The truly terrifying thing is the behemoth that controls them to protect themselves...... Once this monster fully awakens, the entire star system will be disturbed. I won't be able to help you by then...... So, get out of here as much as you can. The Evil King explained patiently, and seemed to want him to get out of here.
"It's not at all what Shylock said! there's no mention of the behemoth you mentioned in the Book of Seals...... Shylock, this old immortal, is scheming against me!?"
Evan thought of many things in an instant, and had the urge to pat his ass and leave immediately, but if he calmed down and thought about it, he knew that he couldn't just walk away:
"I can't leave here...... Because there is an apostle staring at me, and if I leave now, she can wipe me out from a distance of billions of light. I've got to think of a solution...... But before I do that, I ask you to help me get rid of the other three servants. ”
"Apostles...... If the apostles had been willing to take care of it for you, the matter would still be under control. But the question is, does she really mean good to you? Perhaps, you are just a sacrifice that she picks out, and this series of battles is all about luring out the sleeping monster. When the Evil King mentioned the Apostle, his tone clearly revealed a bit of awe from the heart, and it was obvious that even an existence like it could not compete with a true apostle.
"I'm already in the game, and now I don't have a choice...... Hope you can help me. Evan pleaded again and again.
"Of course I'm willing to help you, my little friend...... You have unlimited potential in my eyes, and as long as you spend a hundred or two hundred years accumulating strength and wisdom, you can definitely become a Legacy Mechanic. But as I mentioned a long time ago, the power of you and me does not match...... You can't be my driver. Without a driver, I would not have been able to wield the power of this body, or even open the door of Genesis. The Evil King's tone was more like confiding than refusal, and he was obviously very depressed.
"Isn't it okay for a makeshift driver!?" asked Ivan a little discouraged.
"If you want to drive the Divine Source Machine, you must have inheritance-level power, and even a temporary pilot must follow this rule. Otherwise you will be corrupted by my power...... Imagine a miserable person who has suffered from excessive nuclear radiation and necrosis of cells throughout his body, and that is the fate of forcibly using forbidden powers!" The Evil King's mental fluctuations became more and more intense, and he rejected him very decisively.
"What if...... If I don't care about total body necrosis...... I don't care if I'm corrupted by you, how long can I last...... How much power can you exert yourself?" asked with a dark cold light floating in Evan's pupils, and his tone cooled as he asked with a determined determination.
"Around 13%, up to 150 seconds...... The process of erosion is irreversible, as long as you activate me, you will definitely die. The Evil King's mental fluctuations stabilized in an instant, and he gave him an explanation very simply.
"I see...... Hopefully, when the time comes, you'll be able to help. As for helping you find a driver, I'll entrust someone you trust to do the rest. Evan's expression relaxed, and he thanked it from the bottom of his heart.
“...... Since it's your choice, I'll help you. The Evil King was silent for a moment, refusing his request again, and then severed the spiritual connection.
In the empty office, Evan looked at the brand that had returned to its original state, leaning on the back cushion of the couch on his back. After a moment of silence and staring at the ceiling, he calmly closed his eyes and breathed long and evenly.
One by one, one by one
Death...... For most people, it's a nightmare that they can't let go.
Naturally, Ivan is not immune to the world, but his understanding of death is more like awe than 'fear'. In order to witness history, in order to transcend the reincarnation of metabolism, he cherishes life more than ordinary people.
This time, Ivan knew that he would die and still insisted on driving the Evil King, and he didn't have any complicated ideas, just a kind of struggle with no other choice. Even if both options end up in ruin, he prefers to fight until he has nothing to meet his end.
Tick ——!
Just as Evan closed his eyes and meditated, there was a soft knock on the door door, and the real face of the visitor was projected on the door panel - it was his cheap wife and cousin, Eru Lomei, who had been very well-behaved and obedient recently.
"Come in. Ivan sat up straight and gave voice commands.
The office door popped open, and a tall woman in a silver dress walked in, her beautiful figure as if shining a soft light. As the door closed behind her, she cast her eyes on Evan, and a smile appeared in her silver-gray eyes:
"My Majesty, congratulations on your victory over the First Seal. ”
"It's far from over, and a victory at such a great loss is not something to celebrate. Ivan looked at her beautiful figure bathed in the light, his tense mood eased a little, and his voice was still a little cold.
"Of course, this is not something to celebrate, but I also have good news for you, and my husband will be very happy to hear it. Elu Lomme sat down beside him with a smile, and as if by magic, took out a black wooden box from her sleeve, and then handed it to him:
"Open it, there's what you want in the box. ”
“......”
Seeing that she was smiling so mysteriously, Evan took the wooden box and gently twisted the lid open. Inside the jet-black wooden box, there is a thick layer of silk, and on the soft silk surface, lies a golden key with a simple shape and a wavy pattern.
"This is the secret key of the Holy Palace, congratulations, my majesty, your seven holy weapons have been gathered. Eru Lome wrapped her arms around him, her plump breasts rubbed gently, and her cherry-colored lips opened and closed to reveal fragrance.
"How did you do that?" I had almost rummaged through the Empire...... " Ivan asked, holding the wooden box in surprise and delight, full of curiosity.
"It's nothing, I just saw that my husband searched the empire and didn't find the secret key of the Holy Palace, so he used a private money to reward those barbarians with this holy relic. Eloro leaned on his shoulder, starry eyes blinking, and replied rather smugly.
"Oh yes, I forgot to use the power of the barbarians...... It's really getting more and more rigid!" Evan took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Eru Romei's thin waist, forcibly hugged her into his arms, and kissed her delicate white and tender delicate beauty hard:
"You have retrieved the secret key of the Holy Palace for me, this is a great achievement, and I will reward you heavily!"
"What does the husband want to reward me?"
Eru Romei looked at him with a smile, her expression and posture were indescribably charming, but through the starry eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, she could find a trace of essence hidden in the bottom of her eyes.
"Hmm...... I haven't figured it out yet, let's wait until the battle is over!" Ivan stared at the Sacred Palace Key with burning eyes, his mind full of the Giant of Light, obviously not seeing her expression at this time.
One by one, one by one
The original site of the royal capital, the No. 1 military base under repair.
Evan looked up at the sky.
At this time, it was pitch black between heaven and earth, as if Hongmeng had not yet opened, and the world was still in a unified landscape. There are no stars and moons, and there is no light, the sky and the earth seem to merge together, vast and boundless, without up and down, like a black hole that swallows everything. However, around him, there are dense lights, and a large number of drones and engineering robots are busy with restoration work. The ground that had been blown up by the 'war' is rapidly being leveled, and satellite repair robots are launched from time to time, one after another, shining from near and far.
This is the power of science and technology, the rules of nature have long been unable to bind human beings, and now is an era when one person will conquer the sky!
Evan looked at the scene around him, silently motivating himself in his heart, so that his heart was full of courage and strength. At this time, beside him, the priests of the court placed the six holy weapons on the ground in turn, and only the Sun Crown was held in his hand.
In the process, he continuously injected light into the Sun Crown, and the originally dull Sun Crown quickly regained its brilliance, and the surface soon flowed with mysterious and magnificent holy book patterns.
And so it was...... This kind of simple material damage is absolutely not difficult for me. Evan looked at the new Sun Crown and smiled confidently.
At this moment, the seven holy artifacts seemed to come to life at the same time, emitting a slight low sound. The chief priest of the palace suddenly looked vigilant and looked for Evan with his eyes, but Ivan shook his head and waved him to stand down.
Buzz——!
The tremor was amplified all of a sudden, and golden light was released from the holy artifact, enveloping their bodies and slowly rising into the air, while emitting dazzling light to all around. Soon, under the gaze of everyone, the seven holy artifacts flew into the air, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the dark night.
In the dark night, it was originally a void of chaos, but now it seems to have become a mirror.
The mirror stood opposite the vast earth, and suddenly reflected slender but dazzling lines, which were sparse at first, like the trajectory of a meteor. Then it quickly intensified, gradually joining together, as if the stars had fallen, shining in the dark night sky. It was soon discovered that the light formed the outline of a circular doorway, which was recessed inward, as if a massive constellation was moving in mid-air, illuminating the entire darkness of the night in an instant.
Buzz——!
A heavy roar erupted from inside the Starry Sky Gate, revealing beams of golden light that swirled downward, simultaneously opening up a vast space composed entirely of golden squares. These squares are constantly undulating and disappearing, like a mysterious scene of a sand table demonstration.
