Chapter 359: They Are Alive
From the altar next to the shrine, Eyeless Mama picked up a strip of cloth embroidered with runes, tied it to her eyes, glued them, and then stood up, moved to Leo's side, and whispered, "Follow me." β
After saying that, he walked towards the stairs that went up to the top of the tower, and Leo hesitated a little when he heard this, but still followed.
After ascending the stairs, the two came to a bronze door, and Eyeless Mama put her hand on the monster's head on the door, and then heard a strange roar, and the bronze door gradually opened.
The moment the bronze door opened, Leo immediately felt the power he felt on the walls of the White City, the power that belonged to the omega-level higher creatures, which made Leo stunned.
"Do you feel it? It's the power of the gods. Eyeless Mama said to Leo, "Come on, let you see the secrets of the world." β
Eyeless then enters the bronze door, followed by Leo.
There was no clutter at the top of the tower, and at a glance, you could see the whole picture, and the first thing that caught Leo's eye was the corpse lying in the center of the tower, the corpse of a giant, and the corpse of a giant that was not completely decomposed.
Unlike the giants who turned into mountains outside the White City, the corpse of the giant in front of him was somewhat similar to the giant's head that he had seen before that formed the city wall, except that compared to those giants, there was a strange rune on his face.
"Is this the Guha Giant?" asked Leo involuntarily.
"Yes. Eyeless Mama nodded and admitted: "You have read the Book of Guha, you should know that there was a creation war here, the creation light man and the giants who created our world died in the war, their leaders died here, and there are many corpses of giants and creation light people left here. β
As she spoke, she moved towards the giant.
Seeing the Eyeless Mama approaching the giant very easily, Leo's face showed a little solemnity, because when facing the invisible power of an omega-level higher creature, even if this omega-level high-level creature has been dead for a long time, it still has an extremely powerful deterrent effect for a fifth-level psionics.
Just like now, when Leo is just standing in the doorway, feeling the majesty emanating from the giant's corpse, it is already difficult to sneak, and the pressure is not only the pressure of the body, but also the pressure of the soul.
"I forgot that the majesty of the gods is not something you can bear. Eyeless Mama walked some distance and noticed that Leo hadn't followed, so she suddenly realized the problem, and then turned around and shook her hand at Leo, and a ray of light flew out of her hand and hit Leo.
When the light rushed over, Leo instinctively wanted to dodge, but his body became a little sluggish under the effect of the surrounding pressure, and he couldn't avoid it at all, and he also had an inexplicable feeling that even if there was no pressure around him, he couldn't dodge the light.
After being hit by the light, Leo didn't feel anything abnormal in his body, but the invisible power of the omega-level higher creatures around him had disappeared.
Through the effect of this light, Leo can gradually determine the true strength of the eyeless mother in front of him, I am afraid that it is two or three levels higher than him, at least around the eighth level of psionic ability, and it can be regarded as a pseudo-god in the Velen world.
And more importantly, this power does not come from the victims of her faith, but from the power she has.
This also made Leo wonder, where did she get her powers?
Perhaps sensing Leo's thoughts, Eyeless Mama said without replying, "This is the divine seed that my lord gave me," and as she spoke, she paused, turned her head to Leo, and said, "It's the one you don't want." β
Despite being blinded by the cloth, Leo could still feel Mama Eyeless's gaze fall on him, and this was the first time he felt a hint of hostility from Mama Eyeless.
It wasn't quite right to say that it was hostile, it would be more appropriate to say that it was disgust, as if accepting something that Leo didn't want was something that made her feel very ashamed, or that the god she believed in gave a mortal an object and the mortal didn't accept it, which made her feel that the god was insulted.
However, this emotion quickly passed, and then Eyeless Mama led Leo to the giant, which was about forty meters tall, and Leo's size was not even comparable to one of the giant's feet.
The giant had rotted in many places, revealing the bones inside, and these bones had a large number of symbols on them, which Leo had seen on the god seed, which meant that the cocoon-like god seed may have been partially derived from the giant.
Eyeless Mama pointed to the symbol on the bone and said, "This contains the secret of the origin of the gods, and it is from here that my lord discovered the secret of the gods, and then replaced the victims of Chiyo. β
Leo looked at the Eyeless Mama with some surprise, and said suspiciously: "You put such an important thing in front of me so casually, don't you worry......"
Before she finished speaking, Eyeless Mama said coldly: "You don't even want divine seeds, what's the difficulty for you to see these things, and you may not be able to use them if you read them, you must know that Alice and I have been looking at this thing for hundreds of years, and we still don't understand anything." β
"Alice has seen this too?" Leo asked.
"Of course, after all, this thing was found by us together, and our lord is a generous god, and even if he obtained the method of becoming a god from this, he would not be stingy enough to hide it from others. β
"Don't let anyone else see it?" Leo said as if he had heard something, "that is, other people have seen it too, such as the woman named Joan below, and the little boy, and the people who used to be in this shelter." β
Mama Eyeless didn't answer, didn't make any other movements, just stood beside Leo, but Leo could feel that his words seemed to touch something in Mama Eyeless's heart, and she fell into a sentimental mood.
After a long while, Eyeless Mama said slowly, "I hope I can save them, but in the end it only accelerates their mutation." If I could, I would like to be able to replace them, to be able to bear that pain for them. β
Leo could feel the pain when Eyeless Mama said this, after all, everyone in the shelter was a family member to her, but she could only see her relatives mutate or die one by one, this kind of pain was indeed not something ordinary people could bear.
"Remember what I mentioned about Alice's plan?" said Leo, as if to divert the subject.
Eyeless Mama was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Remember." β
"What the hell is that plan?" Leo asked in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be to help me leave, and it won't just want to destroy this island, but it's something else, right?"
Eyeless Mama asked rhetorically, "Why do you think that?"
Leo said slowly, "After I removed the idol from the Thunderbird Cliff, the White City changed, and then I entered the White City and went to the shelter, and when I came out, I met the victims, and returned to the current White City, and it is clear that my removal of the idol was the beginning of all changes. β
Eyeless Mama didn't speak, just listened quietly, and didn't make any movements or expressions to give Leo a clue to judge whether her whimsical guess was correct.
"Besides, I guess I came here because of your deliberate guidance. Leo continued, "As soon as I returned to the White City, I met those lantern bearers, and after I got rid of them, your petrified power appeared, and it attracted me to come and check it out, and I ended up here. Although your explanation is to use the power of petrification to resist other unknown beings in the White City, I feel that you are using your power to deliberately lure me to you. β
Eyeless Mama nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am guiding you. β
"Why?" asked Leo.
"Because I want you not to help Alice with her plan," Eyeless Mama said her thoughts bluntly, but then retracted it a little, and said, "Of course, this is just a suggestion, and it is up to you to decide whether to follow it or not." β
Leo frowned and asked, "Why did you change your mind?"
Eyeless Mama sighed and said, "Because I found that this island has been destroyed, and it is not a good thing for our world. β
"Why?" Leo asked in a deep voice.
"Because they didn't die. Eyeless Mama turned her head to look at the giant corpse in front of her and said.
Leo was not surprised by Eyeless Mama's words, because once a life form enters the Omega level, it becomes difficult to completely die, even if it is suicide, it may not be successful, only the kind of Star Destroyer Cannon that can create a small black hole, or an Omega-level lifeform that can also erase the origin, can kill it completely.
For example, the ancient ha-giant who has reached the omega-level advanced life form in front of him is not actually dead, and the power contained in the city wall comes from him, but I don't know what method binds him here, so that he can operate in the city wall like a mechanical life.
By analogy, it is also impossible for the giants outside the White City to turn into mountains have died, and it is not difficult to see from the vitality of the giants' blood that they are still alive, but they have been sealed by some power, and they are sleeping like hibernation.
If Yam Island is destroyed for some reason, then it is likely that the power to ban these giants will disappear, and then these giants may appear in the Velun world, in that case, even if there are gods in the Velen world, it may be very difficult to defeat these giants.
"How many Guha giants are still alive?" asked Leo.
Eyeless Mama shook her head and explained, "I don't know, their lives are too huge, and the power here is very special, even if I borrow the power of the tower, I can't accurately perceive their situation, it's like you can see the sun in the sky, but you can't tell the specific situation of the sun." β
"What about the Creation Light Man?" Leo asked again, "How many Creation Light People are still alive?"
After Leo said this question, the Eyeless Mama, who had been answering it briskly, suddenly fell silent, and did not intend to open her mouth to answer the question.
Leo couldn't help but think of a possibility, and said, "When you found the corpse of this giant, you also found a living Creator Light Man, and through the Light Man, you have mastered the method of becoming a god, right?"
Faced with Leo's two questions, Eyeless Mama couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face, although she didn't say anything, but the expression on her face had already shown the answer to Leo.
"And now?" Leo couldn't help but ask, "Is the Creation Light Man still alive now?"
Leo is indeed a little excited now, because he never imagined that there would be Wycombe Abbey people alive, after all, Wycombe Abbey people are not a race known for their immortality in the universe, although they have a much longer lifespan than earthlings, but only about a thousand years, unless the life form is fundamentally changed, otherwise, it is almost impossible to live for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
"Still alive and possibly dead. Eyeless Mama said with no certainty.
"Why do you say that?" asked Leo, confused.
Eyeless Mama explained in detail: "After he fulfilled the wish of the three of us, we asked us to help put him in a silver-white box, he just went in, and after soaking his body in a milky white liquid, the box closed, even my lord could not open it, so we don't know his situation now." β
When the two items were put together, the silver-white chest and the milky liquid, there was only one item in Leo's memory that matched it, and that was the Wycombe Abbey Cultivation Chamber.
If it was really a Wycombe Abbey cultivation box, the possibility of the Wycombe Abbey person being alive would be very high, because the Wycombe Abbey people's cultivation tank was not only used for the physical defects and wounds of the Wycombe Abbey people, but also to provide the Wycombe Abbey people with subspace plane dormancy function, especially the home-level flagship, almost everyone on the spaceship has a such device.
The reason why the Wycombe Abbey people need so many cultivation warehouses is because the size of their home-class flagship is too large, and it will take several years for the entire spaceship to enter the subspace, and when the subspace and reality are in the middle, all external signals will completely disappear, and everyone will fall into an absolute silence for a few years.
If you stay for an hour or two in this absolutely silent environment, it would be fine, but the problem is that this time may take several years, and even some of the larger home fleets will even take decades to fully enter the subspace, and after entering the subspace, it will take longer to sail, so the cultivation chamber is used as a cryocompartment for other ships, and this cultivation chamber can also ensure that when they wake up from their dormant state, the Wycombe Abbey people can recover to a fighting state in a very short time to deal with possible attacksγ
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but ask, "I want to see this Creation Light Man, is that okay?"
"Yes. Eyeless Mama didn't hesitate this time, nodded in agreement, but then changed the conversation, pointed to the distant volcano blocked by the fog, and said, "But it's in the Black City." β
