Chapter 53: Eternal Life (5)
"Duck...... Dark......"
The continuous darkness is like an infinite mirror, so smooth and silent that it is suffocating. Now, in the center of the mirror, an extremely faint voice suddenly sounded.
It was like a small pebble that made a very fine white crack on the smooth mirror surface. Then, the white crack quickly lengthens and expands.
More sounds rushed into the ears: the whistling wind, the whispering of the murmur, the footsteps of walking around. The voices intertwined, tearing apart the silent darkness.
Duck slowly opened his eyes: "Yi ...... Sabella?"
Isabella knelt on her knees, rested Duck's head on her lap, held his head with both hands, rubbed her chin against his forehead unconsciously, and said in a daze: "Duck, wake up, it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up." β
There was a bonfire next to him that was about to go out.
Not far away, Georgina turned her back to this side, and the two summoned ice and stone puppets sealed the entrance, one left and one right, and waited for them.
The knee pillow is soft and comfortable, but the protrusion on the top of my head always blocks my nostrils, hmm, is it appropriate for me to push it away with my hand? If I scream, will it startle her? If I don't do anything, will she wake up and say that I take advantage of her and play a little temper? This ...... Georgina, can you please not be so conscientious and take a look this way?
Georgina apparently did not have this tacit understanding and continued to serve as a guard.
Duck was helpless and called softly, "I'm awake, I'm awake." β
Isabella muttered something, hugging his head even tighter.
"Mmmm...... "I'm going to suffocate, help......
As he struggled, Isabella woke up: "Ah, Dack, wake up!"
"Well, it's okay, it's okay. Well, can I come down first?"
The two stood up and straightened their clothes, and Georgina said hello to this side and continued to wait.
Isabella preemptively asked, "Does your headache hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. β
"Is it blurry?"
"Not vague. β
"Do you feel anything out of the ordinary?"
"Nope. It feels normal, what's wrong?"
"You were remotely controlled by Lady Alexia, who borrowed your head as a weapon and blew Sruba to death with a psychic blast. Then you get out of your mind and sleep for a day and a night. We contacted our hometown, and George said let's defend where we are, reinforcements are coming. Lady Alexia says that if you wake up with a headache and blurry vision, it's bad and you might be a fool later. β
"This ...... It seems that it's okay," Duck wiped his cold sweat, suddenly remembered the damn fat man in the dream, and hurriedly said, "How did she know the characteristics of Sluba's brainwaves?"
Isabella was stunned: "What brainwave characteristics?"
"Oh, nothing. I had a strange dream in which I saw Atalantis before the destruction, and it was really hellish. β
"Maybe it's Lady Alexia's mental interference, which has put a relevant image in your mind. β
Lady Alexia's voice rang in Dark's head, "Yes, what you see is what I want you to know, the end of Atalantis. Dark, you play the destroyer of Atalantis. As for that Sruba, his brainwave signature seemed to me as obvious as black sesame seeds on white cream. β
"I seeβI destroyed Atalantis alone?"
"In the end, that's it. You and your army of aliens have wiped out the Great Trust, as well as humanity that has been completely turned into the walking dead. β
Duck said gloomily: "I didn't expect that a highly developed civilization would end up like this. What about the Destroyer?"
"Nearly immortal, he rests in the deepest depths of the Frozen Soul Sea Trench, guarded by many minions, until now. Although his mental power is far inferior to mine, it is difficult for me to interfere and control him, I can only feel his existence. β
Darker suddenly remembered something and asked, "So, the legendary epic creature, the Ancient Sea Magic Raken, is the Destroyer?"
Lady Alexia smiled, "Farrakhan is just a lazy and greedy little pet. β
Duck touched his forehead with his hand: "What kind of enemy are we going to face! Even the mighty Atalantis were destroyed by him, how can this backward and divided era be able to withstand him?"
"No, it won't. If he wanted to do something, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now. I think he probably looks at the world with the mentality of adults watching children play naughtily, right?"
"Well, if he decides to get his hands on ......"
"I talked to him, and he admitted that his time had passed, and that he was now just a spectator, and promised not to meddle in human affairs. β
"How do you explain that?"
"I think it was probably an accident, and what you have to do now is to find out the truth as soon as possible. I'll make sure for the last time that I'm still quite happy with the Destroyer's attitude, otherwise he must be good-looking, and he understands that. So, you can not worry about him. β
Duck admired, "Madam, are you a god?"
Lady Alexia giggled in amusement: "If you still believe in the existence of God, it is a big joke. All I can say is that I'm an old woman with some skills, and I'll let you know when the right opportunity arises in the future. β
"Thanks, can you give us a clue?"
"Start with the ruins of Atalantis. The ruins have two parts, the main body is at the bottom of the Frozen Soul Sea, and the place where you are standing now is part of its land structure. I advise you not to rush into the sea. The North Sea Monster is not something you can easily deal with now. You should first restore the ruins on the ground and integrate some of the technology of Atalantis into the existing technology system. Remember, the most powerful thing about humans and aliens is not strength and courage, but innovative thinking. β
"Okay, but we don't understand the Atalantian script. β
"You get it. β
"What?"
"Remember the path you walked on the blue square, I poured it into your head when you entered the dream. β
"Thank you, ma'am. β
"You're welcome. Dak, you've matured a lot, and I think you're more aware of the responsibilities on your shoulders now, right?"
"Yes, that terrible fate should not befall mankind again. I have a question, though. β
"You ask. β
"Why don't you give George this, he's better than me. β
"You're wrong kid, you're no worse than him at all. In terms of alchemy, yes, you have a gap with him. But he has a weakness that he can't overcome, too fragile. β
Duck's expression is very strange, and George is fragile?
"He was determined, but lacking flexibility and compromise, like a sword, too sharp and easy to break. Let me give you an example, he believes that the truly strong can do anything, especially the strong with a long-term vision. And Shaqi's near-suicide move completely subverted his opinion, Shaqi himself was optimistic, but George almost went crazy. β
Duck sighed as he remembered the days when Shaqi had fallen, George had been like a headless fly, and the Bagpipe Castle had almost shut down because of it.
Sure enough, no one is perfect, but why am I not happy at all to know the shortcomings of that bastard?
"You know what, you're much tougher than him. I've always been worried that instilling you with a huge amount of subversive ideas and knowledge will make you have a nervous breakdown......"
"No, I'm fine. Madame, aren't you afraid that I will become the second destroyer?The legacy of Atalantis is much more advanced than the technology that George now has mastered. β
Lady Alexia smiled with satisfaction, "I believe in you. Otherwise, how could you have come here from the alleys of Port Snell?Dark, stop being presumptuous, your strength has surpassed George's. Come, heirs of the legacy of Atalantis, and get ready for a real challenge. The first step, left or right?"
"Can you explain?"
"Right now, the magic energy here can only activate one kind of facility: to the left, the alien vault, or to the right, the organ printing room. β
"Understood, the alien army that swept the world, and the body organs and tissues that can be freely replacedβinvincible and immortal. β
"Great, that's it, then, Invincible and Eternal, which one do you choose?"
"Can't you have both?"
Lady Alexia leaned back with a smile: "No kidding. The pipelines are old and unsustainable, and the current technology is not enough to fully repair them, and besides, do you think the mysterious forces behind Sruba will give you time to fully study them? He's desperately trying to fix the magic circuit, and he has more authority than you, he can have both, and you can only choose one or the other. β
"That is, the other will become the bag of that unseen opponent?"
"Yes. There is no time, and instead of waiting for the opponent to be ready, you should strike first. β
"Looks like there's no other way, then," Duck snapped down one of the two buttons in front of him, "and that's it!"
