Chapter 714: You've done your duty

"I've done my job."

The glorious giant stood straight in front of his post for 760,000 years, like a soldier waiting to be reviewed, Zeus's eyes still glowing like fire, even though exhaustion had covered his face.

It was perhaps the longest mission ever, and one day 760,000 years ago, the warrior who had been created accepted the order and remained faithfully at his outpost, never giving up on it, even after his master was gone. And today, 760,000 years later, he can finally proudly announce with glory that he has completed his ancient mission and returned the position to his master.

"You're good, soldier, really, as good as a Tei," Sandora said with a majestic and emotional expression, "You've held your line and held this temple - open the door to the control room, and let us meet the ancient Hilin Apostle." ”

"Yes, the god Moragus is inside."

Zeus replied in a thunderous voice, raising his hand and sending a light to the door of the temple, which immediately opened, and then he looked at his brother Hades curiously, a little curious why the other party would always look up at the sky at a thirty-degree angle and tremble from time to time, without experiencing hundreds of times the amount of purification "healing", he could not understand Hades' current state.

We didn't let the others follow, all the soldiers and servants stayed outside, and even Bing Tis pulled Ilson and Lin who wanted to follow in, although this female hooligan was very arrogant and even a little two hundred and five in many cases, but on some occasions, this goddess was indeed a senior who knew the overall situation and was foresighted, she stopped the actions of the two reckless juniors, and then took out a deck of playing cards from her pocket: "Don't follow in, let's fight the landlord, right?" Monina, did you have a game with Kese? ”

"Very good, very good," Keseer nodded, "who wants shrimp crackers?" ”

I could clearly feel that when Sandora and I walked into the temple, the atmosphere behind us was very solemn, very focused on the heads of the Protoss Sliver Five.

The Temple of Zeus has a gorgeous appearance, those heavy columns and carved relief walls make it look like the heavenly communication room in a religious mural, but its interior is not as complicated as I imagined - Zeus's height of 12 meters is destined to be a 20-meter tall building that cannot even be covered with a duplex, so after entering through the gate, the temple is directly a hall.

It is a square hall with a length of 150 meters on each side, without a single pillar to support it, and it looks exceptionally bright and airy, and a considerable half of the ground is an aerial image of the city of Atlantis, which shows exactly what the city is doing. The hall was filled with holographic projections floating irregularly in the air, with complex curves and data reports floating on them, as well as the familiar holographic console that resembled the starship control panel - of course, the main function buttons were now gray. The walls around the hall were lined with a myriad of sophisticated machines, similar to the starship command hall furnishings, but they seemed to be missing a lot, and the slight flow of energy and the sound of machine chirps echoed in a low voice in the hall, giving me the illusion of walking into a bridge.

This is the Temple of Zeus - it has the name and appearance of the temple, but it is essentially the control room of an ancient colonial ship. Zeus is the guardian of the place and the operator of these devices, and despite being an ancient man, the Apostle Hilin taught him knowledge far beyond ordinary civilizations, making him one of the few "scientists" in Atlantis who could control some of the functions of the Sunburn Obelisk, albeit with various subtleties.

I briefly looked around my surroundings, and then my eyes focused on the front with Sandora: in the center of the hall was a crystal with an irregular shape, as if it had fallen as a fragment of a large crystal that had fallen here, and its surface floated with the glow of ghostly energy, full of energy and clean. The crystal fragment has a radius of about four or five meters, and a height of about six meters, and the overall shape is cone-shaped, like a fierce flame that has suddenly frozen.

I noticed that the bottom of this crystal didn't have the same attachment platform as the regular Shiling equipment, it extended directly from beneath the floor of the hall.

"Below the control room is the top of the Sunburn Obelisk," Zeus' voice came from above us, "The energy in the control room is directly provided by the obelisk. The Solar Flame Crystal is an extension of the Obelisk, and it contains the purest power of the gods, even in the darkest moments. Mortal was mortally wounded after leading us to flee our homeland, saying that he could not recover himself, but that the obelisk must be controlled, and that the Atlanteans did not have enough talent, so the great god came to the control room, fused himself with the monument, and then ordered me to stay by his side forever and give my loyalty to the empire in every remaining moment of my life. For 768,245 years, I have faithfully fulfilled my mission and have always guarded this place. ”

Sandora and I stepped forward and quietly observed the blue-and-white sè crystal that Zeus called the Flame Crystal, and when I walked in, I realized that the translucent crystal contained a tall Apostle of Hilling.

Moragus was dressed in the standard silver-and-white robes of the Imperial Technocracy, and the coat of arms in front of the xiōng showed that he was a special scholar with the rank of officer, and the face of the other party had the harsh expression common to the apostles of the old Empire, staring ahead like a stern instructor. He sat upright in the alloy chair that was common on battleships, and even though he was badly wounded, he still sat straight at the very last moment of being mothballed.

When Sandora and I walked into the crystal, the latter made a very slight resonance sound, and the blue halo on the surface was noticeably brighter, and Sandora and I felt a very subtle feeling in our spirits at the same time, although all this anomaly only appeared for a moment, we still deciphered a lot of information in an instant.

"Looks like that's your seat." I have long seen that there is a very huge seat at the other end of the hall, which is undoubtedly where Zeus usually sits, because of the mission, Zeus can't lie down and rest, and his powerful transformation ** doesn't need to lie down and rest, so this chair is the only place in the hall for him to relax a little, "Tell me about this Xiling...... I'm a little concerned about the things of the great gods. ”

"Yes, I often sit there and look at the great god Moragus. The great god is asleep, but I can still hear his voice occasionally, and his soliloquy as he controls the obelisk," Zeus answered my question without reservation, "He talked about honor and purpose, and the empire that was no longer contactable, and he had been waiting for the gods to arrive, because he said that he still had something important to offer to his emperor. But after a while, Okami suddenly said that everything was wrong, and that was the first time that he seemed to give up hope in something, and then Okami said very little. I knew he couldn't reach the gods, but his instincts seemed to make him feel ...... Something terrible, please forgive me, that's all I can say. ”

"No, don't worry," Sandora whispered, "for it is indeed a terrible thing for every Shiling Apostle to tremble about." ”

With that, she refocused her gaze on the crystal that held Moragus, and it didn't react anything more than a moment of light just now.

I touched Sandora's arm slightly, and the latter turned his face and shook his head slightly, the heart-to-heart connection had made us think about the same thing a long time ago, so there was no need to say anything now.

I sighed, and at the same time as Sandora, I saluted the Ancient Hiling Apostle in the Crystal with the most respectful courtesy from a Supreme Leader to an ordinary officer, "You did your duty, soldier. ”

The seemingly indestructible ghost energy crystal suddenly bloomed with an unprecedented bright blue light after these words, and then quietly turned into ghost energy particles floating in the sky, slowly dissipating into the air after more than ten seconds.

The Crystal Sepulchre, along with the ancient apostle named Moragus, turned into an overflowing energy in space.

"He's been holding out for too long, he's overdrawn everything he can," Sandora whispered, "and even Linghún has been overdrawn, but in the end, ...... He waited for us anyway. The database in the control room contains all the research materials left by the scientific expedition team, and Atlantis was originally built only to preserve knowledge...... Forget it, nothing. ”

"It's a pity," I took a breath, then slowly exhaled, and turned to look at the giant who was more than ten meters tall not far behind me, because of the huge difference in height, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but when a mass of more than forty kilograms of liquid fell to the ground less than two meters away next to me, almost turning me and Sandora into a soup chicken, I knew that Zeus shed a tear - or a tear, "He has lost hope of resurrection in order to wait for us." ”

"The great god has spoken of his departure," Zeus said in a low voice, "he announced his death a dozen days ago, but that demonic metal rekindled his fighting spirit, and the great god said that this was the last battle of his life, and he would be there for him whether he won or lost...... In any case, my other task was also completed. ”

Sandora and I looked at each other, knowing that the time had come for her to leave.

"Pick yourself up as soon as possible, the city needs to be rebuilt. We have come to bring you home, the days of suffering are over. ”

Sandora and I walked out of the gate, and outside the temple, the commanders of the armored scorpions, ravens, and leader bees were putting together their ranks, and the ground forces that followed up on the sacred mountain cleared the most rearly enemy on the floating island. Valkyrie and Anubis, who had regained control, were catching up from another mountain road, and perhaps I saw some familiar faces in them. The girls of Gensokyo gathered in a corner a little cramped, and they suddenly found that they were not quite suitable for the serious atmosphere of this place, and Hakurei Reimu and Yakumo Murasaki were the only two of them who were more accustomed to it. The Protoss Five gathered solemnly in an open place, and although they were the least numerous, they kept the surrounding warriors away because of some kind of aura, Keseer was staring at the commander in his hand, and Bingtis was peeking at Lynn's hole cards - I think I know the reason why everyone is away from this scourge.

The thick clouds in the sky have dissipated, and the moon that blocks the sunlight has also moved in the other direction, and the brilliant sunlight is gradually spilling over the whole city, dyeing the ancient Atlantis into a golden sè, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the collapsed buildings and towers in the city are full of devastation, but the faces of the Atlanteans are only the joy of victory.

"That Apostle of Hilin is dead, and the spirit has dissipated," I said to Ola, who came silently, "Send a group of technicians over, and the control room contains the research materials he left behind, all about the Atlantean transformation technique." ”

Ares walked over, and Sandora nodded lightly to him, "Go and inform your people, get ready to go home." ”

Intense joy flowed from the face of the unsmiling "God of War", and he turned and waved his arms violently at the gathered compatriots, but did not say a word, but soon the cheers erupted from the crowd, and then even more cheers spread down Mount Olympus, to the place where tens of thousands of civilians had gathered, and together they became a sound that was completely indistinguishable.

Little Bubbles, who was playing with Reimu, cried on the spot......

The cheers lasted for half an hour, and the Atlanteans were almost out of control, and the Gensokyo crowd all fell into severe tinnitus and insomnia for the next 48 hours, and as we left the top of the mountain to teleport back to the carrier carrier, Yakumo Blue even fell off the teleportation platform in a daze.

We all thought that her sensitive fox ears were the culprit of this serious reaction, and the fox lady herself soon developed a magical stunt: when she didn't have time to lift her hand, she learned to control her ears directly, folding them in half, but that's another story.

Gilgamesh, who had been dragged away by Dingdong and Qilùno, was also dragged back by the scorpions from the horns of the scorpions. The poor girl seems to have been severely ravaged, although her appearance has been repaired by magic, but her mood is obviously very unstable, during which she tried to find Qi Lùno many times in a row, but I beat her back with a knife, and at the same time Sandora and I expressed serious concern about her dull hair, which had grown into three hairs, and Sandora also judged by its taste that the other party had undergone at least two or three transformations from raw to ripe and from cooked to raw, I didn't understand at first that it was Qi Lùno who had actually started to freeze the jingle bell, It was this golden girl who was the most severely struck by thunder, but when the other party sighed in a tone like a sister-in-law in Xianglin, "This king should really change his clothes before that idiot ice spirit makes a move." After that, the truth was finally revealed: her golden shiny body was too lightning rod.

This may show that even in junior high school physics, Jiermei did not finish it seriously.

The Ring Fragments have been recovered, and that thing is arguably the most dangerous Abyssal Infection we've collected so far: yes, we've collected a lot of Ring Fragments before, and there are three or four of the fragments that Sandora and I have personally struck, and the other expeditionary forces have found more than a dozen Ring Fragments on missions in various worlds, but those fragments are not as serious as the one that hit Mount Olympus this time, and there's a reason for that.

Prior to this, the debris we collected from other worlds all crashed into huge planets without exception, and caused extremely serious disasters, such as Resident Evil and the like, although this global xìng disaster is terrible, but it is equivalent to releasing and relieving the abyssal energy on the fragment, although the abyss will not dissipate due to dilution, and they can gradually become stronger with the passage of infection, but at least in a short period of time, the abyss reaction on one fragment is spread to the entire planet, which is equivalent to reducing the threat level of the fragment itself, which makes our recycling work a lot easier. The Star Ring Fragment of Atlantis is different, it crashed into a place with abundant ghost energy in its heyday, even if all the power contained in it exploded, at best it could only pollute a place the size of a giant city, coupled with the heroic and fearless resistance of the Atlanteans and the powerful suppression ability of the city's ghost energy network network in the early stage, a considerable part of the abyssal reaction of the fragment was suppressed inside and did not burst out.

The abyss can affect anything, matter, energy, and even many cosmic rules, but its propagation effect in different "mediums" is still affected. Among the highly concentrated energy fluids (except for ghost energy), the abyss has the fastest propagation speed, the highest efficiency, and the most crazy effect, followed by physical matter, many of which can only rely on contact to infect. The thin clouds of energy and matter or the vacuum environment can greatly hinder the infection of the abyss (only relatively speaking), which causes the star ring fragment to crash into Atlantis at the beginning, although it once crashed through the shield of the floating island, it did not produce much leakage to the outside world, and then the Atlantis barrier that reacted quickly acted as a "reactor protective wall", which in turn imprisoned the abyss inside - Sandora was full of food and associated it with the steamer, which was too good.

The combination of these reasons directly creates an unprecedented and authentic abyss infection for us.

This made Sandora and I anxious for a while, but one of the heartless coffin controllers expressed inexplicable excitement: Tavel thought he had finally found the most rare and unsought research material in the world, an abyssal aggregate that had barely experienced much decay. She can see for herself how such a dangerous thing can be bound and purified by the Spectral Energy, and she can also produce a more accurate graph of the gradual decay of the Abyssal Reaction under the effect of the Purification Power, which was once one of the most important scientific achievements of the Empire, listed as the highest intellectual wealth in the Empire's central database, and helped the Empire eliminate at least four-figure Abyssal Gates, but as the Empire fell apart, this thing became a sad legend along with the real-name online ticketing system of the Old Empire's Interdimensional Transportation CenterNow Tavel feels she has a chance to reshape history – in theory.

But as a general rule, it's more likely that she's going to reshape her institute in the flamboyance because of some kind of "side effect" of scientific work before reshaping history, and maybe I'll have to consider letting that research freak work in a place where birds don't this time...... ro@。
