Chapter 97: Bernard (I)
Bernard opened his arms and said, "Welcome, guest from afar." ”
His tone was kind and smiling, as if Yi Feiyun was really a distinguished guest, not an enemy who had broken into the base.
Yi Feiyun pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, "So, how are you going to welcome it?" ”
"It's up to you, young 'Destiny Samurai', we can be enemies or friends." Bernard laughed.
Destiny Samurai?
Yi Feiyun remembered that Gong Xiaoyu mentioned that the name originated from the Heavenly Mandate Warrior Regiment under the command of the God Emperor back then, and later gradually evolved into a school of psionic people, which is characterized by a fighting style that perfectly combines psionic energy and martial arts.
He must have seen me holding a sword, so he misunderstood.
Yi Feiyun didn't deny it, and asked calmly, "What do you say?" ”
"You and I are both chosen by Heaven, and unlike those ignorant mortals, the gift of psionic energy will only favor a very small number of noble souls." Bernard raised his head and said proudly, "Therefore, we should pursue a more sacred cause, which is the mission given to us by God." ”
Yi Feiyun was amused by this remark that was very inconsistent with the other party's appearance, and he asked curiously, "What great cause?" ”
"Save humanity." Bernard calmly replied, "Create a world that is always peaceful and free of pain." ”
Yi Feiyun was stunned for a moment, almost holding back a laugh, good guy, are you Madara Uchiha?
"It's a great cause that no one has ever done in the past. Human beings are inextricably ill, and there are many people who disregard the safety of the world for their own selfishness, and as long as 'selfish desires' exist, the struggle will never disappear. ”
"You're right, but I already have a solution, please follow me."
With that, Bernard turned around and walked forward on his own.
Yi Feiyun hesitated for a moment and then followed, because he also had a lot of questions he wanted to understand.
Eventually, the two of them arrived at a spacious study with bookshelves on all four walls, neatly filled with books of all kinds. In the middle of the study, there is a large round table of yellow wood with beautiful ornamentation.
"As a sign of sincerity, I'd like to ask you to take a look at this."
Bernard clapped his hands twice, and a realistic stereoscopic projection immediately appeared above the round table. What appears to be a large laboratory is shown, with a large, striking cylindrical glass tank in the center, which he estimated to be about ten meters high.
A look of surprise flashed in Yi Feiyun's eyes, and his expression became solemn, but what shocked him was not the glass jar, but the contents of the glass jar.
It was an indescribable being, a large dark blue deformed ball of flesh, covered with tentacles, and slowly wriggling, with a very strong Cthulhu Mythos style.
"What is this?" Yi Feiyun asked.
"God." Bernard's gaze was frenzied, "An artificial god bred with the cells of the 'Lord of the Firmament' Schiklu." This place was originally the experimental base of the Human Empire, where scientists studied the mysteries of the Old Dominators in an attempt to steal the power of the gods. ”
Old Dominators? It's really a Cthulhu mythos......
Yi Feiyun frowned slightly, he felt that the final boss this time was mostly related to this thing, and he felt a headache at the thought of dealing with the monsters of the Cthulhu Mythos.
"Schiklu? Isn't that the name of the god of the sky in the mythology of the Mother God that you made up? ”
"No, we didn't make it up, the belief in the Sky God existed long before the arrival of the pirate group." Bernard poured two cups of coffee, "I don't know why those wild people knew this name, maybe it was passed down from generation to generation, after all, they were descendants of those researchers." ”
Yi Feiyun declined the coffee handed by the other party, and then asked, "Is Schiklu really sealed in that blue gas planet?" ”
"That's right." Bernard said, "Schiklu was at war with a powerful civilization called Moru, and eventually his body was sealed in the planet Schiklu by the Moru. However, the Moru civilization also declined as a result, until it perished in the Crisis of the Wisdom Machine. ”
Yi Feiyun suddenly had a bad premonition, and he thought of the name of the main quest, "You from the Stars" - it's over, this "you" won't refer to Schiklu, right? To fight this old ruler at the end? That's a bad name.
"You must also be curious about the truth of the 'Nine Star Divine Concealment', right?" Bernard took a sip of his coffee, "The God Emperor ushered in the era of psionic energy, and there is no psyker who does not want to know his secrets. ”
"So, you know?" Yi Feiyun asked rhetorically.
"Of course, I found the answer in the lab." Bernard smiled, "It was a sacrifice, paving the way to godhood with the lives of tens of billions of people, and the God Emperor King Kyushu wanted to fly to the Void Spirit Realm and become a true god." Can't think of it, right? The savior whom everyone admired turned out to be such a man. ”
"That's too perverted." Yi Feiyun complained, "As a result, did he succeed?" ”
"I don't know, but he broke the wall between the present world and the ethereal realm, leaving the two realms in an unstable state where they could connect or even merge at any time."
Bernard put down the empty cup and picked up the second cup of coffee.
"Although the first wave of Void Spirit Beasts that escaped disappeared, it will soon break out again in the spirit disaster, and the entire galaxy will never be at peace. In case the evil gods inside also cross the border, the current galaxy has no ability to resist, and it will be the real end. ”
Yi Feiyun looked at Bernard, "So, what's your solution?" ”
"Only the power of the gods can repair the walls and solve the crisis, and the history of the human empire proves that only absolute power can suppress the evil and protect the peace."
"The Power of God ......"
"What this experimental base is researching is one of Wang Jiuzhou's plans to become a god." Bernard said, "As long as the experiment is successful, mankind will be able to gain the power of God." I can share this power with you, and together we can save humanity and create a new world! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and cast a sincere gaze at Yi Feiyun, "So, I sincerely invite you to join this great cause. ”
Yi Feiyun avoided Bernard's gaze and said lightly: "It is very dangerous for mortals to try to steal the power of the gods, especially this kind of evil god, aren't you afraid of being counterattacked?" The forces of evil do not bring good results. ”
He thought of George, who had absorbed the power of Cthulhu's clone and turned into a monster, and finally blew himself up and died.
"Your distinction is too heavy, and there is no good or evil in power, the key depends on what we use it for. If the power of the evil god can save humanity, then what is the difference between it and the power of the righteous god? ”
Bernard sighed, "Besides, we have no choice, and there is not much time left for humanity." ”
