Chapter 1476: Straight to the core
Of course, "he" could be an illusion, a puppet, or something else, but the essence is the same - Cloud City may have been invaded by the oracle a long time ago.
"That's a hilltop fortress with tens of thousands of people......" Rock muttered. It is not difficult to destroy anything with the means of divine messengers, after all, they can tear open chasms and create erosion. But the ability to complete the invasion under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, and in the end no one noticed, is a bit unbelievable.
"I hope I'm wrong, but that's the most reasonable conclusion. Roland sighed.
The dream world has relatively independent rules, so that the oracles cannot exert their full strength, and whatever they want to do, they need the support of magic.
And the places where there are relatively many demon cores stored are only Prism City and Cloud City.
It seems no coincidence that the Divine Envoys chose to emerge from beneath Prism City in the first placeβthey, as outsiders, are not ignorant of the world.
Perhaps since the fall of Prism City, the other party has already set their sights on the headquarters of the association, and as for the envoys who remain in the local area, except for looking for opportunities to assassinate Jerro, the rest are just a cover for people's eyes.
"There's no point in worrying here, you'll know when you go there. Roland pressed the town's shoulder, "Remember what I said, now that both worlds are fighting against the gods, and the guild has done a lot to contribute to the battle of the gods, now it's my turn to repay you." β
"Mr. Roland......"
"Call me next. β
Under the solemn gaze of the rock, Roland walked out of the hall.
Fei Yuhan and Vakiris were waiting for him outside.
The former is not surprising, as the new generation of the association's outstanding strength, where there is the most danger, she will definitely be there. But the latter was a bit stranger - he didn't think that Vakiris would have any feelings for the dream world, let alone fight to defend it, and according to the usual practice, he should find an inconspicuous place to fish.
Just because the Divine Envoys have been defeated repeatedly does not mean that they are not a threat, even within the framework of the Dream World, they can easily kill a martial artist. Vakiris is no longer the nightmare lord of the past, and without the ability of magic stones, it is not much different from ordinary martial artists, and it must be dangerous to go to Cloud City.
"There's no need to look so strange," Vakiriss said angrily, "I'm just trying to make sure what the gods and messengers you talk about are really like." If it were you, you wouldn't be indifferent to such an opportunity, would you?"
Roland shrugged, "...... That's right. β
As we talked, the roar of helicopters came from far away from the camp - it was time to go.
What followed was a day and a half of travel.
They are transferred by helicopter to the airport, then taken by special plane to their destination, and finally sent by military helicopter to the combat area after a simple group and mission assignment.
It can be seen that the government's disaster response mechanism has been fully activated, and the congested traffic does not appear until it is 100 kilometers close to Yunxiao City, and the order of the fleeing crowd has also been controlled by the disaster relief army, and it has not completely fallen into chaos.
Vakiris, on the other hand, had been staring out the window from the moment she took off, and asked to change to the window after getting on the plane, obviously full of curiosity about this first experience.
"Aside from the noise being a little noisy, the speed was not bad, at least faster than me. After a long time, it let out an exclamation, "Human beings do have a unique ability to study the laws of the world. β
"Can you fly too?" Fei Yuhan asked with interest.
"Unless limited by mana and size, most promotions will choose to fuse a magic stone with the ability to move quickly, which naturally includes flight. β
"Well, now that you know the potential of humanity, right?" Roland did not forget to boast.
"It's a pity...... There's no trace of magic on it. Vakiriss shrugged.
"Why do you say that?" Fei Yu shuddered, "If an airplane requires magic to use, then only a martial artist like us can control it. β
"No, I mean, you can build such a sophisticated device without using magic, and what about the power of magic?" said Vakiris, "I've been wondering if the difference between the gods and us is this? β
Roland raised his eyebrows in surprise, should he be said to be worthy of being a nightmare king, he has been in the dream world for less than half a year, and he can already understand things with scientific thinking.
It seems that the statement that longevity is an obstacle to civilization is not necessarily true.
The key is also what kind of people are long-lived.
By noon the next day, Roland had already seen the Sky City standing on the top of the mountain.
The city below the mountain was filled with smoke and explosions - it was clear that martial artists from all over the world were at war with the Demon Fallen. Compared to the orderly evacuation team, this side is more like a real battlefield.
Probably, even they themselves did not expect that the day would come when the enemy would rush into the streets in droves.
And the task assigned to Roland is very clear, that is, to go directly to the center of this incident, the headquarters of the association.
The helicopter transported the group directly to the assembly point halfway up the mountain, where more than twenty martial artists from other branches were already waiting for his arrival.
Probably because they had been told in advance, everyone did not greet each other, nor did they question Roland's identity, and after a few simple conversations, they confirmed the basic route and division of labor. Compared with the first joint extermination operation, it is obvious that the elites who came this time are all practical combat elites, not only with tacit cooperation, but also with a high degree of discipline.
The structure of Arctic City is the opposite of Prism City, and due to the erosion of this place in midair, the Guild has built a tall tower to enclose it. However, in consideration of evacuation and rescue issues, there is a hidden passage under the tower that connects to the top of the tower, so that as long as you know the route, you can avoid the wandering demon demons on the top of the mountain.
Under the guidance of the headquarters guide, the commando team barely encountered any obstacles, and the few demon fallen people they occasionally encountered were quickly dealt with in a quiet process, and they didn't even need Roland to do anything.
Soon, the group arrived at the top isolation room where the core was stored.
It was a huge barrel-like room, with four metal walls containing the Fallen Core that HQ had collected so far. In the center of the room is a platform that can be moved up and down, and two robotic arms that grasp the core. In terms of magnificence, Sky City is not much worse than Prism City.
And the figure standing in the center of the platform is the president of the Martial Arts Association.
However, when "he" turned around, he gradually became a different person - the transformation was not completed in the blink of an eye, but gradually reorganized his facial features at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his height also decreased a lot, and finally combined into the appearance of a strange woman.
"I am Epsilon the Messenger of God. She said calmly, "Roland, I've been waiting for you for a long time. β
Being waited by the enemy is never a good thing, which means that everyone is likely to be in a trap, but surprisingly, Roland did not hear any movement from the others.
If it was Fei Yuhan, he should have drawn his sword and was ready to attack at this moment-
He glanced slightly to his side, and his heart sank.
There was nothing around him, and there was no one around.
