Chapter 454: The Fear of Domination
The City of Dawn, in the deepest power room of the dungeon.
"There's a sense of foreboding......"
The troubadour's phantasm emerged from the lamp, looking up at the darkness above and frowning slightly.
Just now, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling from the sky for no reason, this somewhat familiar feeling, reminded him of the fear of being once dominated by the God Devouring Beast.
"That direction...... It's the Land of Oblivion......"
The troubadour muttered to himself, what happened in the place of forgetting?
It's a pity that he is now in charge of taking care of the situation of the heir of the order at all times, and he can't go to investigate it separately for the time being.
The troubadour sighed and turned to look at the figure in the distance.
At this time, Mu Youzheng was lying on the ground motionless with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. However, from the fact that his skin was as red as magma and as bright as blood, and which was bright and dark, we could see what kind of pain he was experiencing, and under such painful stimulation, it was impossible for a person to fall asleep.
At the beginning of the fusion, Mu You was indeed trembling violently in pain, and every organ in his body was struggling instinctively.
However, this situation lasted less than two days.
From the third day, Mu You's whole person suddenly quieted down, trembling all over his body and stopped, motionless, and became the current picture that seemed to be sleeping, and the silence was frightening.
At first, the troubadour was also startled, thinking that it was more pain than he could bear, causing the fusion to go on a fork in the road, and the fusion was about to fail.
As a result, after some examination, he found that Mu You's physical signs were normal, the fusion was still going smoothly, and the situation was actually quite good, and the progress was even faster than expected.
What the troubadour didn't know was that Mu You certainly didn't feel pain at this time, because his consciousness had shifted from his body to a familiar line of cause and effect.
Of course, it was not he who actively manipulated his consciousness to escape, and in the process of fusion, his consciousness would be forcibly kept awake, and under the interference of great pain, he would not be able to open the mind-eye vision at all.
But at a certain moment on the third day, Mu You suddenly felt a call, and before Mu You could find out what it was, he felt a burst of relief in his consciousness, and was automatically brought into the causal line by some kind of force.
And at the moment when the consciousness left the body, on the other end of the causal line, another consciousness instantly hedged towards him, and it was too late for Mu You to dodge.
Fortunately, this consciousness was not malicious, but transmitted a large amount of information to him at the moment of contact.
It was a fragmented picture, showing a lot of familiar scenes of the earth city, with no origin or explanation, just so abruptly looping in Mu You's consciousness.
However, the earth in the picture shows a scene of devastated lives, the sky is full of visions, not the sky he knows at all, and countless people on the ground are screaming and fleeing, and behind the crowd, strange beasts are chasing residents from city to city, frantically causing destruction.
As the monsters continue to pour in, city streets are reduced to rubble......
"Is this a dream? Or is it reality? ”
Mu You was a little incomprehensible at first.
It wasn't until as the pictures continued to play and more and more scenes were displayed in front of him that he finally gradually understood the meaning of these pictures.
Unexpectedly, during the time he fused the divine bones, such a huge change had happened on the earth!
"Changing the sky...... So this is the 'changing sky'......"
Mu You immediately remembered the warning left by Fuya's ancestor before, at that time he thought it was just a simple message, but he didn't expect that the so-called changing sky was actually such a serious situation.
And now he received this information, which was also sent to him by a certain 'administrator', in order to let him understand what was happening on Earth in time, and then when he finished fusing the divine bones, he needed to rush back to Earth as soon as possible to help solve this incident.
In fact, Mu You is not sure whether the power of the God of Order can play a role in those 'holes' in the sky, but since these administrators trust him so much, it is said that after he returns, he should at least be able to effectively alleviate the current crisis.
In this regard, Mu You can only try to speed up some fusion, but no matter how fast it is, the fusion process cannot be less than six days.
In other words, before he returns, the human will need to survive on its own for at least three days!
Fortunately, according to the latest footage, the current situation of human beings is not bad, especially after the launch of the belief system, players gathered and began to actively hunt monsters, and the range of these strange beasts is being eaten away by players at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Mu You knew that this was only temporary, because the real difficulties had not yet appeared.
Giants, that's what humans really need to fear.
Not only the existence of the God-Eater Beast, but also the power of the giant itself is also a threat enough to destroy the human race.
If humans just treat giants as monsters that are one size bigger, and continue to fight giants with the casual attitude of hunting strange beasts now, they will definitely suffer a big loss!
……
At this moment, under the black hole of the Pacific Ocean, countless players are in full swing chasing monsters.
From their faces, there was hardly any fear, only greed and anticipation for the loot.
In the black hole battlefields of other countries, the spoils of war are collected uniformly and then distributed according to merit, but in the ocean far from the human settlement, it is too difficult to do this, because there is simply no one to supervise such a detailed thing.
Therefore, for two black holes located in the deep ocean, the rules of the loot are clear from the beginning: there is no need to wait for the centralized distribution after the fact, and whoever grabs it is whom.
This is also the reason why many casual players are willing to travel thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean. Nowadays, this is not only the place with the highest density of monsters, but also the place with the lowest degree of control, which is an ideal battlefield for many people to get rich in waves.
After the belief system is opened, both the value of divine crystals and giant beast materials has been greatly improved, and for a long time to come, these two things will be scarce strategic resources, especially divine crystals, all need to improve faith and divine arts, and now every time they grab an extra crystal, their strength can be enhanced by one point on the spot.
It is precisely because of this continuous positive feedback that many players forget about the danger and become obsessed with hunting monsters, and sometimes there is even a fight between different teams over the ownership of a monster.
As for the detailed information about the God-devouring beasts and giants, within a day after Lin Xue announced it, some rumors were released to ordinary people one after another.
The apocalyptic argument really caused some panic, but fortunately, the human high-level already had a way to deal with it, and the good news of several black hole fronts was constantly coming back, fully demonstrating the strength of the human race after obtaining the belief system, which made this part of the panic naturally suppressed.
The confidence brought by the magic and the various flaunting trophies on the forums by players fighting on the front lines finally made many ordinary people in a safe area a little unable to sit still.
A large number of people who were originally hidden in the backpack space also gradually stepped out of the safe zone and began to try to join the ranks of besieging monsters and competing for loot.
Of course, the heads of each region welcomed this, but considering that the giants could descend at any time, some measures were taken just in case before these people joined the front line: all players who were near the black hole and could fight the giants directly needed to sign an agreement and wear a special positioning bracelet.
The positioning accuracy of this bracelet can reach within 0.1 meters with almost no delay, and there is also a set of supporting AI algorithm system that can monitor the position of each player's bracelet in real time.
In the event of a giant invasion in any of the next black holes, all people who come within 10 meters of the giant or suspected parasite will instantly turn red and warn the wearer to withdraw from the battlefield and go to a safe area to isolate themselves.
In this way, it is possible to achieve absolute isolation of the parasitic pathway of the devouring beast.
At the same time, once the system detects that a person at risk of parasitism has taken off the bracelet or disobeyed the warning, it will be automatically judged to have been parasitized, and the missile groups and other modern firepower facilities arranged near each black hole will automatically track and strike and destroy it as soon as possible.
These large-scale technological weapons are not easy to use against giant beasts, but they are easy to harvest human lives.
However, even under such harsh conditions, there are still many people who can't resist the temptation of divine crystals, and choose to sign an agreement, voluntarily wear bracelets, and rush to the front line to join the team of hunting alien beasts.
In this enthusiastic enthusiasm for participating in the war, the front lines of black holes everywhere have evolved into a situation of more wolves and less meat in the blink of an eye, and as the monsters obviously began to lack points, the complaints on the forum soon increased.
"Monsters aren't enough......"
"Damn, please don't come here in the Pacific, it's really saturated......"
"Damn, this is also going to be involuted, grabbing a monster is like grabbing food in the cafeteria......"
"It's really not enough, can't the monsters have more?"
"I'm still one crystal away from being able to ascend to a mad believer, which kind-hearted person can give a ......"
……
There was a relaxed atmosphere on the forum, and many people even started to leave messages, calling for the removal of the Silence Order and the dark clouds under the various black holes in order to increase the number of monsters.
Some of them are even more out of the ordinary, even beginning to look forward to the giant's landing, saying that they want to show the giants the 'power of humanity', and at the same time, they are looking forward to the loot after killing the giant.
As soon as this kind of remarks appeared, they were immediately met with stern warnings led by the official media of various countries, which gradually reversed the direction of public opinion, and similar remarks were quickly suppressed.
This incident has gradually worried some high-level leaders: the emergence of the belief system and the current good situation seem to have caused many people to have a false sense of their own strength, and they have begun to breed some arrogant emotions.
There is no good way to deal with this, after all, many people have never seen real giants at all, let alone personally felt the oppressive power brought by giants, and no matter how much they say to them, they can't make them understand.
In this generally relaxed atmosphere, the human beings spent two days without incident.
It wasn't until the third day, when the vast majority of people began to think that this crisis would pass like this, that a sudden change occurred!
Or a black hole in the Pacific Ocean, where the black hole is located, at the edge of the picture, a new giant quietly steps out of the fog.
"The giants are coming!"
The person in charge of the inspection passed on the news as soon as possible, but there was no panic in his tone, but with some surprise.
Under the black hole in the Pacific Ocean, many players received the news and were also refreshed.
I robbed the monster for two days with hunger, and now I'm finally waiting for the first boss!
Many people are already gearing up and can't wait to fight the giants, so that the giants can also see the power of their magic skills.
However, when everyone looked up at the sky for the first time, wanting to see what the giant looked like, the scene that caught everyone's eyes made everyone smile and freeze on the spot.
At this moment, in the high sky, a strange giant did appear, but in the fog behind the giant, more giants followed closely and quietly walked out.
One, two, three......
The dense figure of the giant, constantly pouring out of the fog in all directions, walked towards the black hole in the center of the picture.
In just a few minutes, at least thousands of giants appeared on the screen, and they were still increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Soon, the entire picture was occupied by a large number of giant figures, and the giants all over the mountains, each holding a weapon of various styles that had never been seen before, quickly approached the black hole in the center.
Below the black hole, countless players watched this scene in amazement, and they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.
The psychology of occasionally being proud and complacent, hoping that the giants would come soon, all collapsed and shattered at this moment: the reason why they were looking forward to the appearance of the giants was based on the premise of the siege, looking forward to a giant, so that they could experience the pleasure of fighting more and smashing the gods less like they had done with the shadow gods, and no one had ever expected so many giants to come at one time!
"The total number of giants in the current screen: 7352, and the number continues to increase......"
In the communicator in the hand of the Son of Heaven, the voice of the detector trembling with fear was heard.
"I mean, that's a bit too much......"
The Blood Emperor also looked at the sky with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
“……”
Next to him, the Son of Heaven sighed, speechless, and had to smile bitterly.
He had expected that after the previous giant was defeated, sooner or later the giant would come to investigate again, and he had made sufficient preparations for this, just like the tens of thousands of elite players gathered in the Pacific Ocean at this moment, in fact, he also deliberately promoted it, wanting to attract as many masters as possible here in advance to survive the next giant advent crisis.
But the Son of Heaven never thought that the giants would come so many at once......
With more than 7,000 giants, this is already a huge army!
"How so? Is that the son of some giant emperor? beat it, and it Lao Tzu directly brought his army to find a field? "The Blood Emperor's face is incredible, do you want to be so unlucky?
"Anyway, let's get ready for battle first......"
The Son of Heaven shook his head and sighed, took out the communicator, and gave an order in it: "Everyone, first stay away from the black hole as much as possible, hide yourself, and wait for the order ......"
"Didi ......"
Before the Son of Heaven could finish speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded from the communicator.
"What's wrong again?" The Blood Emperor's eyelids jumped.
The Son of Heaven pressed it on the communicator, and a voice immediately came from inside: "Report, traces of giants have been found near Black Hole No. 1!" ”
"Number one...... A black hole in the city of V? The Blood Emperor was shocked, there were giants in the country, and it happened to be just in time for the giant army to press the border, it was difficult not to suspect that there was a connection between the two sides.
"Is it a gang? Caught between two sides? The Blood Emperor frowned.
"No, it shouldn't be ......"
The Son of Heaven quickly glanced at the latest information received in the communicator, and quickly shook his head: "There is only one giant on the side of V City, and from the point of view of action, it is not going straight to the black hole, but passing by by by by while performing some kind of collection work, and it happens to discover the existence of the black hole......"
"What a coincidence......
The Blood Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Anyway, where do we have any other places for air traffic control now, we are the most dangerous ...... here."
The Son of Heaven did not reply, still looking up at the sky, but his brows gradually furrowed.
The Blood Emperor also subconsciously looked up, and was suddenly stunned: "Huh? Why did the giants stop? ”
At this time, in the image in the sky, countless giant armies automatically stopped when they approached thousands of meters away from the black hole, and no longer continued to approach.
This gave birth to a glimmer of hope in the Blood Emperor's heart: Perhaps, these giants didn't come to trouble them?
"No, they didn't stop, but they were going to send the vanguard down to explore the way......" the Son of Heaven sighed.
This is the most correct approach, and it is also the most terrifying approach for the Son of Heaven, because this shows that not only has civilization been formed among the god-devouring beasts, but most of the giants are still rational enough, even in the face of these insignificant insects below, they do not have the slightest arrogance and arrogance exclusive to the gods, but instead choose the most secure action, such a race is the most terrifying!
Sure enough, not long after the group of giants stopped, four giants were separated from the team of giants and quickly rushed towards the black hole.
After approaching the black hole, the four giants jumped out of the black hole one after another without hesitation.
"Everyone, hidden!"
The Son of Heaven hurriedly gave the order in the communicator.
For the sake of today's plan, a head-on confrontation is absolutely unrealistic, so we can only let everyone hide first, try to delay the time of being discovered by the giant, and delay it for a while, so as to buy him time to think of countermeasures.
The four giants crashed to the surface of the water, but instead of sinking, they floated on the surface of the water like weightless feathers.
Three of the giants glanced around for a moment, then immediately took action, standing in a triangular position, guarding the fourth giant in the middle.
The fourth giant, a giant with a distinctly feminine figure, sat down and closed her eyes.
At the same time, a strange aura, centered on the giant, suddenly spread out towards the surroundings, quickly swept across the nearby ocean, and swept away farther away.
At the moment when the aura swept by, the pupils of the Son of Heaven and the Blood Emperor hidden in the distance instantly shrank sharply, and they glanced at each other, both of them seeing the despair in each other's eyes.
"Oh no, this giant is a perception type, it detects the location and strength of all the creatures around it!"
