Chapter 563: On the eve of the decisive battle
Ten days have passed since the first stage of the Holy Grail Ceremony was unveiled.
If you relax a little and ignore the situation of some cheaters, everything is going well, well, everything is going well. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIt's just that the current situation has formed a very strange situation, because on the one hand, the atmosphere of confrontation and conflict is becoming more and more intense, and on the other hand, it is slightly relaxed or tolerated.
For example, if two or more people who are fighting and killed in the inner world meet each other in the small town of the surface world, they usually just snort coldly, although they don't give each other a good face, but they will not immediately punch out the other party's dog brains when they stop - as if unconsciously, the small town of the surface world has become the default safe zone.
It seems to have an aura of peace shrouded in it, so you can't be attacked or attacked in the area, as both are not allowed.
- What a beep dog! Decisively make a quick break, send each other lunches, what the hell is the intermission?!
But it's actually pretty much the same, and that's probably the setting. However, unlike the absolute safe zone in the game's terminology, a small town is just a similar concept, but it's not really completely safe. If nothing else, anyone can commit an aggressive act in a small town if they have the heart.
For example, in the past half a month, the residents of the town itself have become hysterical and have done a lot of bad things. This includes, but is not limited to, vicious brawls, robbery and extortion, and forcible improper relationships between men and women...... and so on, there were more than 20 vicious incidents.
But as I said before, even the noblest human beings become hysterical in the face of unimaginable hatred and indescribable fear. Considering that there is no telling when the town was settled due to the large number of non-human beings, such a thing becomes understandable. After all, every once in a while, someone offended those terrible characters, and was punished.
Some people were turned into salt, some people were killed neatly, some people were dragged away by unknown creatures and gnawed until they were found in human form, and some people were stripped of part of their souls and became idiots overnight...... Although it is said that the people who suffer are the notorious bad guys in the town, there are many people who hate them so much that they want to die ten thousand times.
However, the sudden occurrence of such a terrible event beyond common sense, it is almost as if a demon has come to the world and lurked in the local area, no one knows when it will be their turn, how can they still be in the mood to think about why it is those few damn guys who are suffering and everyone else is okay? Naturally, people become panicked unconsciously.
Most of the apostles of time and space are not righteous companions, but when they see something that makes them feel disgusting and disgusting, it is still possible to make themselves a little happy with a little effort. However, they didn't expect that they would see it and do it to eliminate harm for the people, but instead created a strange vicious circle:
First of all, those who deserved to die were killed directly because they offended them, but their different methods caused those guys to die in a very bizarre and bizarre way, which is not at all like what humans can do. As a result, the locals began to get scared, and some of the people who had nothing to do became hysterical in their fear, and began to do things that would alleviate their fears (but increase the suffering of others) and divert their attention (but instead attract the attention of the 'demons').
That's it, at the beginning, it was terrifying that someone did something bad and was killed, but as a result, the fearful person was hysterical and vented his inner fear and *** so he was killed again, and then this kind of thing made other people afraid...... It's such a vicious circle of cheating.
Well, the Apostles of Time and Space weren't good people in the first place, but how thoughtful they could be expected to be when it came to their own devices?! It's a very simple problem for them anyway, and it's very easy to solve: kill a disgusting guy who makes you unhappy when you see it, and it's certainly not a good thing to do that kind of thing just because you're afraid......
It's really simple, brutal, direct, and efficient.
It was only Pei Chen who found that the foundation of the inner world had a tendency to be weakened, although the magnitude was very weak but noteworthy, so he explored all the way and found such a thing that made people laugh and cry - if this situation continues like this, the small town in the world is only 10,000 people, how long can this group of crazy guys who temporarily make cameos to play the righteous partner kill?!
As for the 'safe zone' in the town, it is only relative.
Because the spatial nodes of the world are always wandering, the method of entering and exiting is also different. People all over the world can encounter the inner world of Silent Hill, and as long as they can still dream, and their hearts and minds can't escape this possibility, because this is a nightmare space based on the gap in the heart and the spiritual dream.
Since it is possible to enter the inner world from any corner of the earth, then it also means that it is possible to reach any corner of the earth from the inner world. Each portal may connect to the inner and outer worlds, and it is difficult to know which space is connected to the exact location behind the door.
However, if you don't find those default portals to leave, just wait in place or use your spirit to force yourself to 'go offline', then you will be sent directly to the town. Conversely, if you enter the inner world in the same way, you will also appear in the place you have reached before...... This little trick was only figured out the next day.
So unconsciously, most of the contestants, including the Apostles of Time and Space and the characters of the plot, gathered in the town. And how big is the town? With so many strange faces, even the locals noticed that something was wrong, and these guys met very easily. If there are many people, everything will be chaotic, and not everyone likes to abide by the law.
-- Some people obey the law in order not to obey the law in the future.
-- Some people obey the law in order to pull everyone to abide by the law.
It's just that there are still a lot of people who don't even want to try to obey the law, but as a result, no one can break out into an armed conflict in the town. Ordinary residents can break out into armed conflicts, after all, the United States is a terrible country where people can legally carry guns, but in this ghost place, the inhuman aliens who have mastered extraordinary knowledge and even legendary power are restricted.
It's not that you can't start fighting at all, but once you start fighting in a small town, you'll be swept up in the inner world. Because after a series of mistakes and bugs, big or small, that I didn't pay attention to or didn't care about, a certain youkai made up his mind to learn from the pain, and overhauled a certain part of the rune system of the ritual.
This represents the amount of work that has been done to erase and re-inscribe nearly 200,000 runes.
But the effect is really amazing, after correcting this part, half of Pei Chen's attention is focused on this aspect, once he senses that someone is ready to roll up his sleeves and fight, he will immediately throw the other party into the inner world! Under his vast pouring of mana, there is also the precise control that crushes anyone, and when combined, no one can fight even a little.
If you simply fight for strength, he has the name of the strongest in his own right. And in terms of skills, he still belongs to the ranks of the highest elite, how can others live?! It can be said that this method has begun to approach the teleportation mechanism of infinite space, although the strength and mystery are still far from comparable, but the essence is indeed quite close.
In fact, now Pei Chen's own strength is enough to complete the predetermined goal alone, but the burden of his own alone is still a little reluctant after all, and the previous preparations are about to be completed, not to mention that the end is almost over, he will naturally not be stupid enough to put aside everything now and go to the hole leading to the outside of the world with one hand.
That's probably what it is, anyway.
Over time, everyone will find out that there is no direct armed conflict in the town, unless you completely destroy the inner world first. Although this doesn't have much impact, and it also proves that the initiator of this incident is indeed an ordinary six-star difficult character to deal with, but no one likes this feeling of being completely powerless to fight and being controlled by others!
Even if the result is the same, it has to be chosen by yourself.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Pei Chen naturally has no interest in paying attention to the thoughts of those guys and the so-called dignity of the strong, anyway, he doesn't have to think about it to know how those guys will choose. If he were to come by himself, he would definitely not want to be controlled in all aspects, even if it was all in the calculations of others, but the choice must be made by himself.
In fact, it has nothing to do with dignity or anything, it's just an attitude.
Even if it is not the opponent of the other side, the attitude and determination to resist must always be put forward. Otherwise, over time, even you will really lose your determination completely unconsciously, which will be troublesome.
Now the youkai was just sitting cross-legged on the huge platform of the underground labyrinth, looking at the scene in front of him, an advanced version of the Circle Light Technique, which at first glance looked like a mirror as smooth as jade embedded in the space in front of him, but this mirror did not reflect the posture of him and the shrine maiden next to him, but staged a scene from other places.
These days, with Nayako's complete silence, he and Kikyo soon became a scene of two people alone. It's just that the witch is quiet, and she doesn't talk much a lot of the time, so the two of them are really so quiet and haven't talked to each other for several days-
And neither of them noticed any strange change at all, they didn't feel uneasy or embarrassed at all, but seemed to be the most suitable mode for the two of them to get along. The only problem is that the two didn't find that the improvement in compatibility with each other seemed to be outrageous, and now the two are basically just making eye contact, and the other party can understand the general meaning, and this relationship is really ......
"I always feel that the level of their house demolition is getting higher and higher......"
Pei Chen frowned and complained, he was now overlooking an area of more than 1,200 kilometers in the central range of the Inner World. The gray colors represent the background layout of the inner world itself, while the red parts represent the damaged parts that are almost impossible to repair.
Yes, the inner world can be completely destroyed, and it is not possible to repair itself infinitely. After all, Pei Chen didn't have the technology of infinite matter, or if he really had such a technology, he would definitely apply it to himself first, right?! The space in the world is subspace, the matter is the architectural projection of the real world, combined with people's mental images, landscapes, and even the physical laws and constant variables are directly and mostly copied from the source code of the present world......
The reason why the buildings, streets, etc., in the world can be destroyed and then restored after a period of time, is because they have no entity in the first place. It's like a reflection on the water, even if the image of the water body is shattered when it is mudd, it will always be restored when everything is calm again.
It's just that......
Everything and everything will inevitably pay a corresponding price, or whether it is matter or energy, even if it is the same as the whole, it is always being consumed. The world itself is also maintained by people's spiritual power, how can it be that it has been consuming too much 'price' on the restoration of phantom-like projection buildings?
Once it is realized that the consumption of endlessly repairing those projection buildings is beyond its means, then the inner world will decisively turn to maintaining its own existence as the primary task, after all, it is a spiritual subspace built up by people's dreams and minds, and it seems understandable that such a hazy chaotic consciousness will be produced.
Pei Chen wasn't surprised that the inner world itself could make such a simple binary judgment on its own, he was just surprised that the action and destructive power of those guys was so amazing. From the time he noticed this, tens of thousands of square kilometers of the inner world had been completely reduced to ruins and scorched earth, and he did not continue to repair himself.
Considering the particularity of the inner world, even if there is no accurate formula and unit for conversion, Pei Chen knows that the combined destructive power is estimated to be able to scorch half of the earth. I don't know how much of their own energy has been converted by those perverts these days, and it has all been turned into the simplest, roughest, most direct and efficient output and destructive power, but I am afraid that if it is converted into a nuclear warhead, it will take at least three digits to achieve such an effect?!
-- Among the round mirrors, the gray background color is the rarest, and most of the pages are a shocking bright red, which occupies a large area in a criss-cross area.
"......" Kikyo raised her eyebrows, and although she didn't speak and didn't have any special expression, she could see that she seemed to be relieved. Fortunately, after she came in, this guy finally took into account her opinion and deliberately set the battlefield in another dimension, instead of directly swaggering to put the Holy Grail in the town.
Otherwise, it is estimated that only the ruins of the town would have been left on the ground by now, and the scene of corpses strewn with rivers of blood.
The two of them sat on the edge of the platform from one position, quietly watching the scene of the mirror-like circular light technique turning back, although there may be exchanges from time to time, but it is usually Pei Chen who is talking, and the witch is listening quietly. One didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and the other didn't express any impatience at all, which made the atmosphere harmonious and peaceful.
Behind the two of them was the Holy Grail quietly biting into the rune system, and the huge mana emitted an overflowing light, spreading in all directions along the dense rune connection, and streamers flickered and then spread, and finally disappeared into the dark end of the underground corridor that extended in all directions.
It was still so holy and beautiful, and it seemed to have the magic power that held the entire mind of the watcher, but if you looked closely, you could see that there were wisps of almost imperceptible black gas lingering around the mouth of the cup, like phantom black tentacles.
- The Black Grail.
"Is the problem hard to solve?" The witch asked softly, and she saw that Pei Chen seemed to have a headache and pressed her eyebrows.
"Ah, it's not like that......" said this, but the monster's expression was not necessarily so relaxed, on the contrary, it was better to say that his thoughts were indeed so, "It's easy to solve this problem, but it's not a solution to cure the symptoms but not the root cause...... As long as they are still fighting, then it will definitely cause huge damage to the surrounding environment and space, so what if I fix it?! β
ββ¦β¦β
That's right, even 'creating' has been tried and succeeded, how difficult can it be for him to just 'tinker'?! The real crux of the problem has never been about this aspect of things, but as long as those contestants are still fighting, this kind of thing will continue to happen, and it is not very useful to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
"But the problem is really not too serious,......" Pei Chen chuckled and waved his hand and said, "How can I say it, although the current situation seems troublesome, it is only temporary...... The reason why the melee has become so fierce now is only because this is the last chance, don't you realize that there are already five groups of people decided? β
Kikyo blinked, thoughtful.
This means that there are only two chances left to compete for the Play-In Tournament, and there will only be a maximum of four more people who can participate in the final stage of the Holy Grail! You must know that the reward I gave is indeed waterless, once they finally win the Holy Grail, they will be able to exchange at least two or even three equal opportunities for S-level exchange enhancement in the space, which is almost at least two of their missions to play perfectly to get additional gains, how can they give up so easily?! β
Saying this, the monster also glanced back at the Holy Grail behind him, and a strange brilliance flashed in his red eyes: "...... Well, although it is a demon reform, neither the ritual itself nor the Holy Grail itself has much to do with the Moon World, only certain functions and requirements are the same...... But it's also a wishing machine, and the temptation is not small. β
The Holy Grail Ritual was changed by Pei Chenmo, and the so-called sΓ©ance ritual and the part of the Heroic Spirit Summoning was eliminated by him, but the ritual itself, which essentially twisted the power into a single force, did not change much, because he needed that power to help him accomplish a certain goal. In other words, Immortal Summoning and Holy Grail War are the same system, but of different types, and he selectively modifies the parts he needs.
However, although the essence of the Holy Grail has changed, it can be regarded as 'Pei Chen 1. 0' version instead of the version that flowed out of the Moon World. But it is also a sacred relic that responds to people's wishes, even if it is a limited wishing machine, but it is still a wishing machine conceptually.
Even if the recipient himself can't define what kind of wish he should make, so that he will not exceed the scope of the Holy Grail itself and not waste his power too much, he can still sell it to the infinite space to exchange various exchange rights of the same value, how can he not lose money and definitely make money-
Otherwise, how could those people all be moved by the wind one by one?! Anyway, Pei Chen felt that if someone released a task, the reward would be just a dispensable broken cup, and he would definitely not be able to lift his energy.
"It's almost there......" He waved his sleeve, and the image on the mirror crystal solidified by the circular light technique suddenly changed, and he went directly to the specific scene from a very high overlooking perspective.
"It's all come to this point, and it is estimated that the final stage of the seven-day decisive battle will begin, probably in these two days...... Hmm, I feel a little uneasy when I think that the space hasn't released the final stage of the main quest yet! β
He muttered in such a low voice, and then Kikyo reacted, the peace of this time seemed to give her an illusion, and it was not until now that she heard Pei Chen's whisper that she suddenly remembered. yes, it seems that there is a real mastermind behind the scenes, and the main quest of the final stage has not been released until now!
Infinite Space still seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude?!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"It's over, I feel like there's no hope for the revolution......"
Looking at the windows of several error messages that popped up again on the projection screen of the multi-purpose tool, and then saw the nervous and expectant face of the tech nerd instantly changed into a frozen expression, and he almost didn't have the performance of spurting blood in front of him, Dahan knew what the result was this time.
As always, it is still not well adjusted, after all, many technical means are not fully understood by the other party. After all, this is normal, and the assembly machine is not to use any accessories that are good, blindly matching different technologies and even finished products with each other as a matter of course, and it will only take for granted that there will be various conflicts and size errors.
So Dahan could only sigh like this, feeling that he and the others were indeed going to give up this opportunity.
"Nonsense! The Chinese have a way!! Technosaurus jumped up, shook his fist vigorously and said, he really doesn't believe in this evil.
"Kouhu, don't talk nonsense about these dangerous words!!"
"You said it first!!"
The two argued and quarreled, but both of them looked tired and exhausted. And around them, there were already heavy armed positions that even Pei Chen couldn't recognize. Just as the Heroic Spirits of the Magician Career will master the skills of the Position Crafting, they can build a powerful magic workshop, and may even turn the stronghold into a super fortress that even the Heroic Spirits will not be able to invade, and there will be enough time to build a terrifying city.
The focus of the science and technology side is on the riot army, comprehensive, auxiliary, base, and farming...... In a way, with the material and time and the skills to process and manufacture, they are more prepared and terrifying than the Heroic Spirits of the Magician's Profession.
Now, just look at the armed fortress that has been transformed from countless shadow buildings, and all the types, uses, and structures of the buildings have been taken into account, and the terrain, height, and location that need to be coordinated have not been neglected. If you look at it from afar, you will only find an infinitely dense and infinitely large shadow town, and a hideous steel fortress suddenly appears.
The endless wall of tall walls stretches endlessly, and the formidable tower batteries are densely packed with factories, airports, stations, arsenals, laboratories, power stations, headquarters and ...... and other buildings are neatly planned, and all kinds of military facilities are heavily guarded. Countless mimic machines patrol in pairs on the cement road, and aggressive and aggressive drones are flying everywhere in the sky.
Even if you don't count the 24 armed satellites that can't be seen at a glance, at an altitude of 30,000 meters, anyone knows what the consequences will be if they trespass on this place. After all, the lowest-level intelligent weapons are all mechanical scorpions that come out of the mimic cabin, and the most conventional firepower coverage is naturally at the level of a railgun.
It's an armed fortress made entirely of war technology, a hideous steel city, self-sufficient and aggressive. It is also the most important hole card of the technology nerd, which can allow him to fully exert the power of his strengthening system, and play a strong backing for the output of six stars at the five-star level.
Well, if it works, it should theoretically look like this......
