Chapter 204: The Dragon of a Thousand Stars, Thou is the Origin and End of All Things (6400)
Subspace Labyrinth Dragon Bone Square.
The heavens and the earth are shaking.
"Ian and Anfa are all right?"
In front of the Dragon Bone Square, Theo floated in the air, and the invisible psionic energy turned into a wall of flames, stretching for nearly a kilometer, expelling all the beasts and members of the exploration team who dared to approach the dragon bone and the crystal cabinet.
The true dragon, who had regained his original appearance as a red-haired dragon girl, was a little worried, and raised his head to look at the cloudless sky: "Even if it is separated by subspace, this movement is a bit too big."
Above the sky, you can vaguely see circular ripples appearing and disappearing, and it looks like some behemoth is fighting each other outside the world, and occasionally a few punches hit the outer layer of the world.
Even if it is a true dragon, seeing such a situation, it can't help but be a little worried: "The communication of the dragon soul is also cut off, and this subspace maze is quite extraordinary."
"I'm worried, though."
Isengard crouched in the crater that Ian had blasted out of the battle with the other young heroes, sighing and using his charged rifle to snipe at those with bad intentions.
Zi-collapse~
The light golden pillar of light fiercely swept down a sublimator who intended to turn into a violent wind and approach the crystal cabinet from mid-air, and the blonde boy shook his head and said, "But even if it is dead, it is Ian's own choice."
Although it sounds ruthless, it is actually just pure helplessness.
Who can admonish a prophet when he takes the initiative to do something extremely dangerous?
The future they see is the greatest advice in this world, and even that can't be persuaded, I'm afraid no one can make them stop.
As for Anfa, she has a dragon soul, even if she dies, it is only the annihilation of the prosthesis, and it really reaches the point where the dragon soul will be destroyed, and it is not an ordinary trouble, I am afraid that no one can escape, so there is no need to worry.
However, Ethan is not simply worried.
Because he and Theo both knew that Ian had certain authority for this subspace labyrinth at this time.
Since Ian was able to transfer the Dark Gold Dragon and other young powerhouses away through subspace transfers, the situation would probably not be so critical............ At least, the run is the run.
What's more, they don't have much room to worry about others.
After the leaders of the various exploration teams and the dark gold dragon were taken away, the remaining members of the exploration team and the alien beasts fought in chaos.
The strength of the alien beasts is unusually strong, even the elites of various countries can only barely suppress it, not to mention, there are also some members of the exploration team who are constantly sending people over in addition to dealing with the alien beasts, trying to snatch the 'crystal cabinet, the storage chips in it, or sneaking in the direction of the huge dragon bone mountain.
In this regard, the only remaining, or rather, Xi'o and Isengard, who were deliberately left behind by Ian, became that line of defense.
- Whether it's the crystal cabinet, the essence of the dragon bone, or the source of the dragon's blood, it's all our loot/treasure!
With this in mind, Theo's true dragon instinct was awakened - as the only true dragon in the audience with a real third-level soul, she was in the current Dragon Bone Square, which could be said to suppress all enemies.
Whether it was alchemical firearms, psionic weapons, or improvised armor from God knows where it came from, she had all annihilated, devoured, and shattered by herself!
As for Isengard, all he needs to do is take the time to use his charged rifle to take down a few people who are ready to sneak attack. "I always feel very unwilling to shoot so leisurely."
Shooting down another sublimator who intended to stealthily pass through the defense line, but was detected by the Light Refining Eclipse Dragon's life force reaction, Ethan shook his head slightly, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart: "At this time, Ian and Anfa are probably desperately fighting the enemy............ What do we do? 「
"Don't overthink it."
Theo's thoughts were surprisingly clear at this time, and she said without worry, "Whether it's the Dark Gold Dragon or the rest of the exploration team, the target is the dragon bone, dragon crystal, and dragon essence behind us - as long as we hold this place, it will be for Ian."
"It's better that we're here because we're here
Ian foresaw such a future, which is why we need to stay behind and guard our loot!"
(This guy's thinking is too simple............ But it's not necessarily wrong. Is this the perspective of a dragon? Ethan smiled silently, Theo's 100% faith in the prophet was indeed not a problem, anyway, for her, the world was so simple.
But the blonde boy remembered what Ian had said to him alone before everyone parted on the second floor.
[Although I can't see it clearly, but Ethan]
At that time, the knight who had already turned into a Mahdi rubbed his eyes and said seriously: [This trip to the Xenomorph Research Institute is probably also a considerable opportunity for you—it is an opportunity that is in no way inferior to Anfa, full of dangers and gains! 】
Opportunity............
What opportunities does Canaan Moore have to do with himself, the son of a marquis in the north of the empire? "Something is wrong, two!"
Suddenly, there was a nice but nervous voice from the side.
Theo and Ethan turned their heads in unison, only to see a flash of silver flash flying rapidly and finally stopping in front of their eyes.
It was a silver elf.
However, unlike the usual tough-looking Silver Elves, the Silver Elves, known as the Mercury Springs, are made of liquid mercury.
The smooth, undulating curves contain a beautiful rhythm that is an absolute outlier among the Silver Elves, who are almost all knights and samurai.
But heterogeneous, that is, 'strong, proof.
Mercury Springs is actually the Silver Elf Squad's brains.
Although Silver Salt is the captain, he is just a very strong fighter in the final analysis, after all, he can die fifteen times for challenging a strong man, which is quite rare among Silver Goblins, who are known for their belligerence and recklessness.
You must know that if you lose your fighting spirit and faith, even the immortal goblins will gradually dissolve themselves and become a goblin furnace to build the soul fragments of new goblins............ Many goblins have lived too long, and their free hearts have gradually been filled with failures, regrets and unwillingness in the world again and again, and then choose to dissolve themselves, dissolving those deep sighs in their hearts and becoming a new existence.
Silver Salt can still maintain a strong fighting spirit and maintain 'self after fifteen failures, this willpower is not amazing.
But on the other hand, he will die fifteen times for challenging the strong, and this kind of reckless character is completely impossible to be the leader even among the goblins.
Because of the late reincarnation this time, the strength of the mercury spring is not strong, but he has the means to communicate with the silver fairy powerhouse 'Star', and the 'Mechanical Dragon', and Afiboya.
That's achieved through the elf's special soul structure, which can transcend the boundaries of time and space in the general sense.
"On behalf of the Fallen Star City and the Orthodox 'Witnesses,' I want to tell you two bad news."
But now, the Mercury Spring Fairy came to Theo and Ethan, the strongest pair of people present, and said with a solemn face, "My Void Realm communication has been blocked............ Those who can do this kind of thing in Canaan Moore are either the Silver Gate and the Kingdom in the blood of the Ten Kings, or the fifth-level powerhouse!"
"I have reason to infer that above the ruins, the powerhouses of the fourth energy level have already begun to fight!"
"If you can, I hope you two can now recover the storage chips in the 'crystal cabinet', and join forces with us to resist the next possible impact - rest assured, it's your spoils, and we won't snatch them."
In fact, it is also selfish to say this.
Indeed, the Falling Star City and the Four Orthodox Christians came this time just to 'witness,'.
They will not rob any of these treasures from any party, but will only heal the loser and prevent the loser from continuing to carry out various sneak attacks, or destroy the key equipment of the ruins, resulting in the same eventuality.
This has happened many times because of the irreparable loss of technology in the pre-era civilization caused by the infighting of the Terra forces, and this is unacceptable to all.
There are only four major Orthodox churches, falling stars
It is the city and the dragon island that have the credibility and strength to make all parties believe that they will not take sides and protect these precious heritages that belong to mankind.
Of course, if there is a ruin of the 'real dragon', then Ryushima will also be a participant, and this is a matter of course.
Because of this, if something happens to the ruins, and the competing parties cannot guarantee the safety of the treasures and the heritage, and can only be preserved by neutral forces like them or by joining forces, then they can also get the right to cooperate in research, and even make copies of key materials for storage.
The game between the parties is quite complicated, and generally speaking, there will be no force that will deliberately refuse the assistance of the Four Orthodox Churches, Falling Star City, or Dragon Island.
"Is it so fast?"
However, Mercury Spring found that both Theo and Ethan had a calm expression, as if they had known it for a long time: "So, so soon, the big one is coming."
Speaking of this, Theo showed a rather sassy expression at the mercury spring, and reached out to shake the cold mercury hand, "Thanks for the reminder, goblin!"
"We'd love to join forces with you, but this time, I'm afraid all of us will have to take care of ourselves."
And it's at the moment of shaking hands.
Mercury Spring's eyes widened, staring intently at the red-haired dragon girl, and the sky behind her.
Sun.
A new sun appeared in the sky behind Theo.
The blazing sun suddenly appeared above the sky dome of subspace, and the ultra-high hot air currents visible to the naked eye turned into a corona, winding and stretching above the horizon, like a giant python wrapped around a ball of light.
But that's just the beginning.
Because in less than ten seconds, the igniting little star disappeared, but with it, it was a supergravity terrifying enough to penetrate the limbule and subspace
Violent gravitational turmoil appeared throughout the Dragon Bone Square, whether it was the strange beasts fighting or the other members of the exploration team who were secretly fighting, everyone felt a duo of weightlessness and aggravation at this moment.
"Wow! Flying?!" "No, it's gravity—"
Except for the second energy level, all humans and beasts could not withstand the gravitational changes that reversed back and forth, and most of them were overwhelmed by the aftermath and fell to the ground unconscious.
Even, not just people.
Even the incomparably solid ground, the entire core area of the Xenomorph Research Institute, cracked in an earthquake that seemed to shake the world.
A huge black crack suddenly appeared under this violent shock, and the earth was torn apart, and the crack was like a row of jagged shark teeth, which rose from a distance, all the way towards the keel square. "How fierce they were—"
Even if he was mentally prepared in advance, he was shocked by this scene, Xio turned his head and looked directly at the pitch-black vacuum that suddenly appeared after the sun went out, and the real dragon couldn't help but mutter, "This is terrible."
"Tower............ I'm going to fall!"
As Sheo said.
Because of the violent shock, the entire subspace labyrinth was violently shaken, and the twelve tall towers located around the Dragon Bone Square were also affected.
Even if the tower itself is too strong to topple over, it is not the same as collapsing—as the subspace land itself shatters and tilts, the tower shifts from its original position.
Whoop - boom!
With the violent sound of the wind and the shaking of the earthquake, four of the twelve towers that originally surrounded the dragon's keel fell one after another, and with the addition of the one that was suspended by the exploration team of the City of Knowledge in the beginning, there were five entire Forbidden Towers that could not be operated.
And the 'Red Tower', which is located on the side of Xi'o and others, is also the one that fell.
The terrible wind howled, and the thousand-meter-tall super giant building fell straight down without the slightest hindrance, this scene was as terrifying as a giant slashing down with a kilometer-long giant sword.
Seeing this scene, no matter how nervous he was, Theo turned around and ran away in a creepy moment.
And before running,
She hadn't forgotten to use her psionic energy to grab the crystal cabinet she was protecting behind her and take it away.
Because of the failure of the five forbidden towers, the dragon crystal, which was originally immovable, became mobile............ But the ban was not completely broken, and the crystal cabinet that originally looked very light felt like dragging a mountain to Theo!
(Damn............ If my real body is............ With the power of the dragon, you can take it away! )
In the roar of the tower's fall, Theo couldn't help but get nervous - her prosthetic strength was only the first level, although she had dragon blood and could withstand the consumption of spiritual energy, but she couldn't retreat in the face of the impact of the tower's fall!
If you lose your physical body and can't withstand the reaction force, the interference of psionic energy in the world will be drastically weakened, and even the dragon soul needs a prosthetic body as a container for psionic energy, which is the iron law of the world.
"Move! Crystal Cabinet! Why don't you move?"
Gritting his teeth and bursting out with all his might, even the physical strength was used, and the cart was pushing, but the speed of the crystal cabinet could not avoid burying the tower before it collapsed.
Theo had gritted his teeth and decided to hold on to the end, even if the prosthetic body was smashed into pulp.
But at that moment, a hand reached out and pressed it on Theo's shoulder.
"I'll help too." Ethan's voice sounded, and immediately after, there was an inexplicable fiery and passionate feeling that came from his shoulder!
"Oh! Strength, pouring out!"
At this moment, Xi'o suddenly felt that his body and soul were activated, and the 'dragon blood' in his prosthetic body began to burn, and it was completely urged, bursting out with 120% power!
And at this moment, the mercury spring, which was flying aside and ready to help at any time, saw it, and a fire of spiritual energy that seemed to be materialized suddenly ignited!
In an instant, Blaze forcibly dragged the crystal cabinet out of the tower's fallen range. Rumble!
Waves of dust poured up, and countless pieces of rubble flew like bullets, but none of them could hurt the dragon girl who supported the psionic shield.
"Thank you, Ethan."
Relieved, Theo, who had let go of his hanging heart, couldn't help but be interested in the ability of the blonde boy who withdrew his hand on one side: "Your ability is a bit powerful—not only the physical body, but also the spiritual energy? I don't think ordinary Light Eclipse Dragon Refining is that powerful?"
"That's not right............ It's not my ability."
But Ethan stared at his hand a little distractedly, his brows furrowed, sensing the power in his body that suddenly surged and penetrated all the blood veins: "I just wanted to use my blood to help activate your essentia in Xi'o, but at that moment, I felt that the 'blood' in my body had a violent resonance with the 'dragon blood' in Xi'o's body!"
"Isn't that normal?" Compared to the dignified Isengard, Xio didn't care much about this, she laughed and patted the young man's shoulder: "You are also a dragon, which means that the dragon blood in your body resonates with me more, so it has a essentia resonance effect!"
"No! In the past research, the Eclipse Dragon has always been an 'ancient wurm, that's all."
But Isengard shook his head in denial, "Although even the blood of a true dragon can be devoured, in the final analysis, it is just a parasitic creature............ All of us in the Eren family know this, and it can even be said that capturing a true dragon, completely devouring its flesh, and turning it into the bloodline power inherited by our family is the ultimate goal of our Eren family."
"Hmm............ So to speak. My mother has seen the Eclipse Light Dragon in the past, and I really don't feel a similar smell to Ethan in the memories I got from my mother."
Theo is not embarrassed by the purpose of the Eren family, after all, there are too many people in this place of Terra who target real dragons, and the empathy between real dragons is very low.
She didn't feel offended by this, but felt curious, and walked around the young man: "But I feel that the power in your body, Yisen, is the real dragon's blood............ Just now, you obviously absorbed some of the power of the source of dragon blood, didn't you? 「
"That's you holding a true dragon
As evidenced by the blood, all the members of the exploration team who have come here are more or less related to dragons."
Saying this, Theo laughed instead, "Compared to this, Ethan, you should think about which side the true dragon blood in your body comes from."
"In other words, what kind of descendants of the true dragon are the eclipse dragon refining dragons?" 「………… Hmm."
Ethan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Although he was ostensibly persuaded, in reality, his heart was full of doubts.
Because unlike what Theo said, the power he felt in his body was not a 'little dragon blood,............ That feeling was that in the entire body, all the bloodlines and essentia organs of the Eclipse Light Refining Dragon began to shake, burn, and become extremely hot.
What if............ This kind of reaction is the so-called dragon blood resonance, then, the blood of the eclipse refining dragon is the real blood of the real dragon!
But there are also problems.
"Don't talk about why it's so weak as 'True Dragon's Blood............
"Eclipse the Light Refining Dragon, a dragon that devours other lives to sublimate itself", which fire and which civilization gave birth to the 'true dragon,?!
Isengard's heart is actually full of anger and entanglement with his own blood.
It was because of this blood that I was conceived in the conspiracy!
It was because of this blood that I was disgusted by my father, assassinated by my uncle, and fiddled with by my grandfather, like a chess piece!
But it's because of this blood............ I'm going to be able to stand on the stage right now, alongside first-class geniuses like Ian and Theo, and Anfa............
Blood is a blessing. Blood is a curse.
Blood does not come out of supplication, it does not go away with indignation. Blood is life, but also soul.
Isengard was not disgusted with the blood and darkness in his body............ He just wanted to figure out what the incomparably complex array of inscriptions that had flashed away on his body when he had absorbed the power of the Dragon Blood Source before.
It can not only carry the light of the sun god bird, but also absorb the darkness of the true dragon's blood............ What does it mean?
"What the hell am I ............ What is it?"
Just as the blonde teenager laughed bitterly at himself and asked himself about his origin. In the center of the Xenomorph Research Institute, twelve towers surround the center.
The behemoth keel of the second-generation true dragon shook slightly.
After the loss of the five towers and the ban, the power of the source of dragon blood overflowed even more............ But it was also because of this that on the skull of the ancient dragon remains, the six hollow holes faintly lit up with a red-golden light.
At the same time, the crystal cabinet made of dragon crystal on the side of Theo and Isengard also lit up with a red-gold glow.
The dragon's eyes slowly lit up, and he and somehow instinctively raised his head to look at the keel, and Theo and Isengard looked at each other.
At this moment, except for the six eyes like the setting sun, the whole world dimmed. "Huh?!"
And as the Mercury Spring elves watched in amazement, with a burst of subspace distortion, Theo and Isengard all disappeared—and so did the crystal cabinet that may have recorded all the technical data and past memories of the entire Xenomorph Research Institute!
Subspace Labyrinth: A place of sleep for the dragon soul
On the pitch black sea, the blond boy looked around blankly, he didn't know when he had come here.
"This ............ Am I being transferred?"
He understood his situation at the first time, but Isengard couldn't understand why for a while, so he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and looked around as calmly as he could: "It's dark here, but it's very big, and there's a reservoir at your feet............ Is it the reservoir of the Xenomorph Research Institute? Or is it some marine biology laboratory?"
【Everything】
At that moment, Isengard suddenly heard a loud voice. And then there's the light!
The pitch-black sea was illuminated in an instant, and what appeared in front of the blonde boy was a curious sight that was enough to frighten most people—
That's blood! Dragon's Blood!
The crimson blood makes up the sea, and in the middle of the sea are crystal light patterns, not so much living creatures, but the 'internal organs' of some kind of huge machine!
It was a sea of dragon's blood and internal organs, and right in front of Isengard, six bright golden eyes like jewels were suspended in mid-air, looking down on the boy condescendingly.
[Thousands of years later, the descendants of dragon blood, the confused human ............]
The grand voice came from all directions, and the stunned Esengard, who couldn't move for a while, realized that it was the sea of endless dragon blood under his feet that made the sound, as well as the internal organs and eyes in front of him!
Between these flesh and blood, there is a will that is about to die but not to die, and it is extinguished but not extinguished, and it slowly utters its last voice: "Thou art the key to all things............ Thou art the end of darkness............]
[Dragon of a Thousand Stars, Thou is the Origin and End of All Things]
