When I woke up from my sleep, it was dim in front of me, and there was only a very dim energy glow in the room, which was the basic lighting that automatically appeared in this room as someone woke up inside, but there was no light outside the window, and the slight coolness on my body made me realize something, I mō asked, "Sure enough, I found the puppet girl next to me who didn't know when Lu Dao jumped up, and now she has wrapped herself in a dumpling and has a bad sleeping appearance, and she tugged the quilt to shake the little girl out, and I muttered to the scene outside the window: , "It's so dark outside." ”

"Huh?" Mercury Lamp mímí replied mumbly.

"What do you think of the darkness in front of you?"

“…… It's the middle of the night, stupid! ”

I sat up and looked out the window at the thick darkness.

"There's not even an aurora in the sky, so it doesn't feel right." I grabbed the puppet girl who was rolling around and stretching beside me, "Come out with me and have a look." ”

"No, I'm sleepy." "The mercury lamp held my head and slapped it twice, but the protest was ineffective: the guy who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and flew around and hung on the chandelier for two hours before he had to ask for help did not deserve sympathy.

Jingle fell asleep in the small box on Chuáng's head, and while I was busy getting dressed and preparing to comb my hair for the mercury lamp, the little thing also woke up, and she blinked, very uncomfortable with the dimness around this o'clock: "Ah Jun, why is it so dark?" , did Ding Dang get up early? ”

"No, it's already morning" I looked up the standard time in the information link and replied in the affirmative, "You say the same, it seems that something is wrong." Now it's pitch black outside, and you can't even see the aurora at night in the Divine Realm."

"Let there be light." Ding Dang said, and the room was immediately filled with a soft light, which slowly brightened as the human eye adapted, but this light was obviously limited to the room" I went to the windowsill to look, and found that there was no light at all on the outside of the windowsill just through the first layer of windows.

Something more advanced than Ding Dang's divine power was holding back the light, and now the outdoors of the divine realm seemed to have been taken over by pure darkness. Out of curiosity, I also took out a flashlight, and it turned out that the light beam from the flashlight was also directly cut off at the window position, and the light and dark section looked very obvious, obviously not naturally formed.

"I don't understand."

The little thing fluttered over and jumped on the windowsill, "Outside, a higher level god is using a large range of dark power, and the light used for general lighting is directly vetoed. ”

Although I don't think there can be any accidents in the divine realm, "I still care very much about the strange scene in front of me, this may be another wonderful natural phenomenon in the divine realm, but even the jingle is confused, this possibility is a little suspicious." So I thought it would be better to hurry up and see if the others had woken up.

My room was on the second floor of the main hall of the obsidian palace, not very far from the antechamber where everyone gathers on weekdays, but in this short distance, I and the sleepy-eyed mercury lamp met many servants in the hallway, which confirmed my hunch even more that it should be morning and that something might have happened.

The servants I met in the hallway didn't know exactly what was going on, but after a little questioning of two or three people, I was a little relieved to learn that they were just busy preparing meals and daily tasks, and it seemed that the only anomaly at the moment was that it was such a dark day, not that there was some kind of crisis or anything like that.

Also, this is the Divine Realm, and if this place can be in crisis, then the other mortal realms should almost all be destroyed.

Because it was dark outside, the obsidian temple was lit up with eternal light everywhere, yes, it was the kind of thing that God said that there should be light in the world, and the people who served tea and poured water here would say that "these absolute natural lights make the corridor to the antechamber brilliantly lit up, and if it weren't for the occasional passing window, it was still pitch black outside, and I wouldn't even feel that there was anything unusual about the situation." And in the same brightly lit palace vestibule, I saw Sandora and her sister, who were already sitting there drinking morning tea.

And, of course, there is Ice Tis who is already doing radio gymnastics in the antechamber early at this time.

"Yo, Chen" I didn't expect you to be able to get up without daylight" Bing Tisi waved his hand at this side, and then shrugged at Shandora who was drinking tea, "I saw that teacup just now, and it was credited to the account!" ”

"What's going on out there?" ”

Seeing that Sandora and Bingtis were still talking and exchanging feelings as usual, I knew that nothing was wrong, but I was still sleepy about the abnormal darkness outside.

"Ahh ”

Because the matter here has been busy, I and the others originally planned to quit yesterday afternoon, but Bingtis's forcible retention, especially the fact that he hadn't played enough, made me decide to stay one more day, so according to Bingtis, is the current darkness still related to us?

"Brother, brother, it's so dark outside." Viska also ran into the front hall at this time, next to Pandora, who couldn't see any expression, and behind them were bubbles and bubbles, one cooing and gesturing 1 to 1, expressing her opinion of the darkness to the air, and the other outside the fugue, I dare not imagine that she was opening a few trumpets at this time to explode the posts of all mankind.

"Sure enough, it's a family, and even the time is synchronized" Bing Tisi waved his hand and beckoned everyone to sit down in the hall, turning his gaze to Viska "Don't worry about whether it's black or not, there is no power outage in the god realm - it just so happens that Viska is also here, and this matter has something to do with you." Ladies and gentlemen, let me start with the good news: the first group of Protoss advance teams that were originally sent out returned last night, and they brought back a very important harvest: something related to the legacy of Xiling. ”

Bingtis's words really succeeded in attracting everyone's attention, and even Sandora and her sister put down their teacups: it was obvious that although they had already arrived in the living room, Bingdis had been selling Guanzi without telling them in advance.

"By the way, you've collected almost all of that star ring fragment by now, right?" ”

Instead of saying it directly, Bingtis suddenly brought up something else.

Viska was always the most concerned about this matter, and immediately raised his hand and replied on a twitter: "I know the Dao, I know the Dao, counting the excavations of the expeditionary forces of the various worlds, the discovery of the Hongshi Realm, and the ones we have found in several incidents, one hundred and twenty-three fragments have been recovered, all of which are the remains of the inner ring belt, which basically accounts for eighty percent of the entire inner ring belt. ”

"You found the rest of the pieces?!" I suddenly understood something, and looked at Bing Tis in surprise.

"Ah, this is the news that is not very good after the good news: we did find a fragment, super huge" Bing Ting made an exaggerated gesture of his hands, drawing a big arc in the air" "A world realm management god found that there was a star ring fragment that broke into his world realm and called the police, and the advance team that happened to return was easily recovered, that thing was still combative, and the advance team almost hung the color. ”

"Well, the most rear-back ring fragment is indeed the strongest part of the armament, but I didn't expect it to be still running." Viska scratched her hair, her face a little embarrassed, and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly: as Bingdis said, this was actually unfriendly news.

That's right" The discovery of a new imperial heritage is certainly a good thing, but the Star Ring Fragment is a special case: many facts indicate that the Star Ring Fragment is most likely caused by the Fallen Apostles, who destroyed Visk's runaway Star Ring, and used the Abyss Force to seriously pollute it and transform it into a very dangerous Void Floating Mine, and so far nearly a hundred World Realms have been attacked by these floating mines, and more than a dozen of them have even been destroyed as a result" When the Imperial Expeditionary Force arrived, There are even a few fragments of the stars left in those worlds after the interstellar explosion. Current intelligence shows that these Void Floating Mines do not have a clear target, and it is likely that the Fallen Apostles are simply making those things for the purpose of destroying the World Realm" rather than using them as official weapons, so the Fallen will leave them alone after the transformation is completed, but those fragments still have a relatively fixed pattern of appearance: they are all in the sovereign plane far away from the Protoss' domination.

The hundreds of star ring fragments we have found are all like this, those worlds are not the ruling areas of the gods, and even before they were discovered by the expeditionary force, they were not in the empire's territory "are all idle worlds, according to Bella Vera's occasional mention, the fallen apostles have serious destructive tendencies due to the influence of the abyssal power" They need to rely on enjoying the destruction of the worldly world to vent this impulse, but they don't want to be discovered by the gods because the movement is too big" So unless the purpose is unknown, "Great cause" Fallen apostles will only do things to the idle world that no one loves and no one loves, and I have always believed that there will be no exceptions.

However, the advance team of the Protoss found a debris attack in the area ruled by the Protoss.

"The Fallen Apostles shouldn't be going mad, right?" My sister frowned, "They are so blatantly attacking the territory of the Protoss, they are likely to come out of their feet, what do they have to rely on?" ”

"Who knows?" Bingtis shrugged, "The strength of the Fallen Apostle is definitely not enough to start an all-out war with the Protoss, so the sudden appearance of this star ring fragment in the territory of the Protoss is very incomprehensible. Now the Dark Goddess is gradually controlling the abyssal energy on that giant fragment, trying to find the source of this fragment in reverse, maybe she can find a nest with it, and the soldiers will cover it with water, and the Fallen can't guess what kind of calculations they are making. ”

It's really troublesome news, I thought I could be idle for a while, but I didn't expect the Fallen Apostles to start stupid again, and this time they directly stirred up trouble in the territory of the Protoss, their behavior is always so incomprehensible, and when they finally understand, they have already caused you a lot of trouble.

The darkness outside is caused by the power of the Goddess of Darkness, and it does not envelop the entire divine realm as I imagined at the beginning, but only permeates a small area near the garden, but it just happens that the Obsidian Temple is manifested in this area, and we will cover it together, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get out of it until the Supreme Goddess of Darkness has withdrawn her strength. I don't really understand the form of the gods' powers, but according to Icedis, the powers of the Goddess of Darkness will alter the abyssal energies on the fragments, allowing them to be "solidified" so that they can be easily and safely studied. It could be considered a more sophisticated method of abyssal inertization than Xi Ling's ghost suppression field, and far more efficient than our method of processing a fragment that takes several days to make contact with a fragment of Xìng After only an hour or two, the darkness dissipated.

Sandora and I led Sister Pandora to the Court of Splendor again, this time directly to the palace of the Supreme Goddess of Darkness: the Palace of Eternal Night, "a dark court that is inconspicuous but deep and solemn."

The Father is already waiting for us in the palace, along with several high-ranking gods who have met, including Gaja, the supreme goddess of life, and Sovale, the supreme god of light.

In addition, the owner of the palace, Soraphile, is equivalent to the four leaders of the Protoss who came once but the powerful dragon god did not appear this time, according to the subtle smile on the face of the father god after I mentioned that name, I think that Lord Ryujin has sacrificed himself to build a harmonious society in the divine realm, and went to the confinement room to count the ants.

"Bingtis should have told you the truth," the Father led the way and led us to the depths of the Palace of Eternal Night, "It's surprising that the Fallen can be so careless, careless. ”

"You mean, it was an accident?" ”

Sandora asked in just the right official tone, when the Star Ring Fragment appeared in the territory of the Protoss, the whole incident developed in the direction of serious responsibility: of course, it was not to affect the trust relationship between the new empire and the Protoss, but to mean that the current situation was basically equivalent to the stage of joint preparation for war.

"My intuition tells me that the fallen should be flustered right now" The Father smiled slightly, "as indifferently as usual, as if the serious and dangerous provocation of the fallen apostles was only a passing moment for him" "They would not be so reckless in going to war directly with the gods, because their "great cause" was obviously not yet accomplished. The appearance of this ring fragment is very strange, I don't think it was released by the Fallen, and I don't even think it appeared in the World Realm managed by the Protoss, not as a weapon. However, the specific situation still needs to be seen for yourself to understand, and it can also answer our doubts, after all, the Protoss still has some headaches for your skills.

While talking, we had come to a large hall on the lower floor of the Eternal Night Palace, a very large hall with a floor as smooth as a mirror of obsidian, but there was not even a single pillar around the hall and in the interior space. Bingtis, who came with him, whispered to us that this place was called the Hall of Mirrors, and that it was the entrance to another space.

"That fragment is very large, and the abyssal reaction is close to the strength of the Abyss Gate, Phil can only put it in another dimension to deal with" Father God said" gesture in the air, and the obsidian ground under everyone's feet immediately spilled over layers, and it turned out that the teleportation of the other space was the ground here" "It is not difficult to purify the abyssal force above, but it will take some time to make them into specimens that can be safely accessed, I hope those few hours of darkness have not affected you." ”

The alternate space where the Dark Goddess deals with dangerous goods is a place similar to the void area of shadow space, with no gravity and direction, but with a strange anti-physical feature that can easily see things even without a line, and the huge star ring fragments are silently suspended in the supreme space, like a dry branch.

It's not the first time I've seen a Ring Shard, but this one is larger than any I've ever seen, and it looks more complete, its superalloy shell has been torn apart by the explosion at both ends, creating jagged gaps, but there are not many scars elsewhere, we can clearly see the weapon slots on its surface and the ejection hatch that didn't close completely, the huge machinery that has lost its most energy due to fighting the Protoss advance team now looks dull and dull, and no longer brilliant, But this image of quietly floating in the air has a bit of a desolate feeling, and I can't help but want to make a poem when I see this scene, but I can't hold it back.

"Because it was on the verge of exploding into an abyssal portal, we took it upon ourselves to deal with it, but we didn't change its structure." The Father led everyone closer and closer to the fragment of the star ring floating in mid-air, until it became a mountain that could not be seen in its entirety, and we landed on what appeared to be a mooring platform in the middle of the arc, and I found that the metal under my feet still floated with a two-dimensional huā of black sè, but I could not feel the disgusting distortion of the abyssal force.

Compared to the Empire's suppressive force field, the power of the Supreme Dark Goddess is indeed much higher, and I believe that Tavel will be very excited about this new toy.

Viska silently looked around, pursed her lips and said nothing, until the red light in her eyes flashed, she seemed to have discovered something, strode to an open mounted armor plate a few hundred meters away, kicked the piece of armor that had fallen into disrepair, and then turned her fingers into a probe bursting with dark fire, piercing into the mechanical structure under the armor.

The dark red energy light flow spread instantly from the place where the probe needle pierced, and quickly swept the metal armor plate under everyone's feet, and the low humming sound and the slow echo from nowhere suddenly echoed in the ears, just like a dried corpse that was rapidly regaining its vitality, the star ring fragments actually started to operate again, and the weapon covers and ejection hatches around them finally closed completely when they regained energy, Viska made a reassuring gesture to us, and after a few minutes, A heavily distorted synthesized voice came from one of the nearby radio towers:,"

Re-detect the highest instruction set, the existing mission is terminated, and the weapon system is locked "System self-test error, no servo equipment and starship signals found, warning, system status is abnormal, please make tactical judgment and judgment by the higher-level intelligent system"

The last few characters faded like an old-fashioned tape recorder with little power, and Viska stopped the Ring Fragment from shining back this time, and she ran back with a look of joy on her face: "Brother, brother! The auxiliary system of this fragment is really not broken! Fix it, Tavel can fix it! You can even use the backup data here to restore the inner ring belt! ”@。
