Chapter XIV: The Final Dogma
"Incomparable," Selene couldn't help but exclaim, this kind of spectacle that would be considered a spectacular sight in the future really shocked her, she traveled around the world for 12,000 years, from the steppes of the Alps to the mountains of the Himalayas, from the jungles of Burma to the wilderness of the Americas, around the Caribbean, admiring the Arctic Ocean, but she had never seen such a scene, the perfect combination of metal and stone, the collision of ancient and future, the hard metal edges and corners reflected the lights of the zenith, like a huge and magnificent work of art.
"Most of the technology here comes from aliens, and even some from the gods of the universe, we are not alone from the very beginning of the world, extraterrestrial life is hidden among the stars, and the gods have also set foot on the earth," Garence looked at the blocked sky, "a grotesque and wonderful world, but unfortunately we are too small........"
The entrance to the dark blue pyramid is a metal gate a few meters back, and the smooth, flat façade is engraved with two columns of patterns in ancient Egyptian, which translates to mean that God dwells on the throne of heaven, and the world is peaceful.
After the apocalypse entered the palm print, the door opened silently, and inside was a dark corridor, two rays of light shot into the depths, and the lights of the corridor were activated to illuminate the intricate structure inside. "The first floor is mainly infrastructure," Apocalypse carefully explained the structure of the pyramid to Selene, "and above the second floor is the combat area and conference rooms. ”
The three of them boarded the high-speed elevator, and a few seconds later came to the main combat hall on the second floor, "This is responsible for the operational command of the entire SEELE, as well as all external activities including the detection of the apostle," in front of them is a huge screen more than 30 meters high, between the command platform and the screen is a map of the world projected by the whole system, all the cities, forests, mountains, and islands in the world are clearly marked, and there are more than a dozen computers on the command platform for people to operate, but the screen is still off," These devices are still in the testing phase, after which extensive testing is carried out to obtain data for analysis and management. ”
Seeing this, Garence had to admire the convenience of the apocalypse's ability, if he was alone, it was estimated that five thousand years had passed, and he might not be able to handle these things.
"Recently, satellites are also being mass-produced, but the manpower is limited, I need more mutants to help me, and the current main technology environment is still difficult for us. Apocalypse's tone was calm, after Gallance forcibly brainwashed him, his execution power improved almost geometrically, he was already immortal, he didn't need to eat and sleep, he put all this energy into the establishment of SEELE and the study of the Apostles, with the help of a super mutant, the progress of the Gallance project was much faster.
"Above is the council chamber, intended to be the main meeting place of the future immortal council," Garence opened the door on the third floor, and was greeted by a huge golden cross on the ceiling, directly below the cross was a black stone table, a total of four high chairs, separate tables in four directions, behind the chair was an inverted triangle and seven strange eyes, Gallance touched the ancient Egyptian-style decoration on the chair, and looked at the underground city outside the one-sided glass of the hall and said, " One is mine, one is yours, one is apocalypse, and one is not sure who it is, but there will always be someone sitting on it. ”
"Immortal Council, what's that?"
"When I first came to this world, I imagined that if I gathered all the powerful and immortal people on Earth now, then in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, what kind of existence we would become, what kind of existence our organization would become, and the smoke would be inconspicuous at first, but there would always be a day when the sky would be obscured. ”
In fact, on the other hand, Gallance must also be like this, after all, in Marvel, or in most comic works, the growth rate of the protagonist team is simply open, and the villains have worked hard for hundreds of years, but the protagonist stares, dyes his hair, and yells, and the villain is in less than three pages of comics, especially in this world, the three people that Gallence is most unwilling to face, Phoenix Lady Grey, and the Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximov, who was born to force Franklin. Come to think of it, it's good that you started it yourself early, otherwise you will have to die in the hands of the phoenix after the apocalypse.
"Okay, it's time to go there, Apocalypse, open the portal. ”
Gallance waved his hand, for hundreds of years, he was a little excited to see this place built step by step, but over time he was also a little tired of aesthetics, only the place below the Red Sea would make his blood pump, there was the soul of SEELE.
In the center of the Red Sea, 10,000 meters below the sea
"Welcome to SEELE's most spectacular base, the ultimate dogma. Garence smirked, his eyes shining with a strange light, every time he approached the place, an inexplicable sense of belonging, perhaps related to the thing below.......
Selene pondered for a moment and asked, "Why is it called this name, and does it have any special meaning for such an obvious title?"
"Ah, that's right," Garence said, "this is our last place of hope, and the most important place, the core purpose of SEELE's founding, and if it falls one day, it will be all over." ”
The three of them slowly descended from the air, and slowly Selene saw a huge black man-made platform, "Is this it?"
"I'll call it the Black Moon here," Garence said, pointing to the top of the platform as he called up the full projection of the platform from the touchpad handed by the Apocalypse, "This is where we are now, and we are standing directly above the Black Moon, and what you see is only a corner of it, and it leads to five thousand meters deeper underground. ”
Selene noticed that the shape of the entire Black Moon was very much like a palace cup, although it was a base that didn't need to pay attention to too many exterior things, but it always felt that it was deliberate, she pointed to the projection, "This shape, it looks like a cup, is it done on purpose?"
"That's right, you noticed, I did it on purpose, so I also call it the Black Grail, it is the representative of all rights, and those who possess it have supreme rights, and of course this is also the tomb of the apostles. ”
"Apostle, That ....."
"yes, we'll see it right away. ”
A circular opening opened above the Black Moon, revealing a deep and wide metal passageway, "the Great Central Vertical Groove, which leads to the deepest place ever explored by mankind—the Apostle's Tomb." ”
"Long time no see, my brother, I'm coming to see you soon," he said as he said into the depths of the darkness, echoed by a suppressed silence.
