Chapter 740: Krypton?
In this way, the mastermind behind the scenes was eliminated and the world was at peace......... It's weird.
"So, that's how the world is?"
Duanmu Huai sat on a chair and stared at Matthew and a man in a ponytail in front of himβββ who introduced himself as Romeni. Aqiman, the head of the medical department, escaped because he was the only one who did not go to the control room because he was fishing at the time of the explosion. At present, he has the highest position among the surviving members of the entire Chaldeans, so he is now in charge of the management of the Chaldees.
"Yes......... The situation in Chaldea is very bad at the moment..............."
The doctor who called himself Roman was crying and speechless, and the sound of the rapid footsteps of the remaining Chaldean staff could be heard running back and forth outside the doorβββ and the battle between Duanmu Huai and the Demon God Pillar completely destroyed the entire observation room, making the observation room, which was already crumbling due to the explosion, even more devastated. If you put it somewhere else, I'm afraid you will just give it up. However, because there is still a device in the observation room that can be used to observe the past and future of mankind, it must be preserved, so these staff are also desperately repairing and cleaning and maintaining it.
By the way, the other Imperial Candidates didn't have such a sturdy body as the Mu Huai, so they had to be put into hibernation pods for the time being. After all......... Their injuries are so severe that there is no way to treat them in the Chaldeans.
"That's what happened..............."
After listening to Matthew's explanation, Dr. Roman frowned and thought about it.
"No wonder we couldn't get in touch with the outside world anyway, and the staff sent from Chaldea didn't come back, I thought it was because of the explosion that caused problems in the communication facilities in Chaldea, but now it seems that it's because the world outside of us has been completely destroyed, so we can't contact anyone else..............."
"So what else can I do now?"
Duanmu Huai took a sip of tea and asked.
"Fix the anomalies like a failure?"
"Fortunately, this Chaldea is in a state where there is no normal timeline and is on the verge of destruction, but we can't just sit back and wait for destruction. The present Chaldea is like a space station floating in the universe, and the outside world is the world of death until we break the current predicament......... Luckily, we have another solution. β
As he spoke, Dr. Roman took out the terminal and opened it.
"After Mr. Duanmu, you defeated Leif, the simulated star returned to normal, and I also tried to scan the state of the entire Earth......... As for the fact that the elimination of anomalous point F has not been able to change the future, I think it is likely that the timing of our intervention is not correct..............."
"Well, that's right."
Duanmu Huai nodded, when they went to that city, all the people there were already dead, and there were only a few heroic spirits left, even if they were all wiped out, it would not be called a rescue...... Well?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up.
"I have an idea."
"What do you think?"
"Didn't you say that the Holy Grail can grant all wishes? So as long as we participate in the Holy Grail War and get the Holy Grail, won't we be able to make a wish to the Holy Grail and ask it to repair the anomalies and save the world? Didn't that mean that thing was some kind of universal wish machine? β
"Recycle the Holy Grail......... Indeed, for the time being, the catastrophe of anomalous point F is inseparable from the Holy Grail, and only the Holy Grail can do such a thing as destroying history. Conversely, if the power of the Holy Grail is harnessed, history can be restored............ That's right, if it's the power of the Holy Grail, it can be locked! β
As he spoke, Roman began to get excited, but soon, he fell into depression again.
"Ah, but restoring history......... That being said, no one can be sure that history will actually go back to the way it was........."
"What does it matter?"
Duanmu Huai waved his hand, interrupting Roman's speech.
"All roads lead to Rome, and at the end of the day, what we have to do is to protect the human civilization of this planet from destruction, and is it that important whether history fits the narrative? As long as the world is still familiar to us, it doesn't matter what happened in the past, does it? Besides, who can be sure that the world they know is the real world? There's no point in dwelling on something like this, isn't it? If humanity on this planet perishes, won't the history of humanity be the same fate? β
"You're right."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Roman also nodded, and then stood up.
"I'll prepare for this at once, time is running out, we must lock down the anomalies and eliminate them before the Chaldees are completely destroyed. So......... You two must be tired, so let's go rest first, and I'll let you know when the repair location is determined. β
Since Roman said so, Duanmu Huai had nothing to do, so he could only nod, and then returned to his room, lying on the bed and yawning.
Although the enemy looks weak this time, it ......... It's also an opportunity.
Lying on the bed, Duanmu Huai was also thinking, although he had also seen a lot of saving the world, but it was the first time to save the future by repairing the past, just right, Duanmu Huai also planned to see what this natural restoration plan would become, after all, he himself had accidentally strayed into the 30K Great Expedition for some reason before, and now he doesn't know what changes he caused in the original impact on the empire.
Then again.........
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai clicked on the system interface, and sure enough, the task prompt was displayed.
[The second stage of the quest "Human Restoration" has been activated]
[Objective: Repair the peculiarity and save the world]
[Reward: (Unknown)]
I heard the guy named Leif say that the world outside of the Chaldea had been destroyed, which made Duanmu Huai think that the mission had failed like Neverwinter again, but fortunately, when talking to Dr. Roman, the mission was activated. This made Duanmu Huai breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't get the reward in Fei Lun because of the failure of the mission, and if he couldn't get it again this time, it would be a bit too much to say.
By the way, Duanmu Huai had also contacted Arcot to ask if she could get the fleet here, but Arcot said that the subspace storm here was so intense that it was completely inaccessible. And this place is not within the scope of the network node, so Duanmu Huai had to put away this thought for the time being.
Soon, the night passed.
When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, he had already woken up, changed his clothes, washed his face, and before Duanmu Huai could consider whether there was breakfast in the Chaldean cafeteria at this time, there was a knock on the door, and then Matthew's voice came.
"MASTER, ARE YOU AWAKE?"
"Oh, wake up, wait a minute."
Hearing Matthew's words, Duanmu Huai also came to the door and opened the door.
"Good morning, Matthew."
"GOOD MORNING, MASTER."
Compared with Duanmu Huai, who woke up refreshed, Matthew looked a little tired, as if he hadn't rested.
"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well at night? β
"Ah......... Well, yes, after all, so much has happened........."
"That's right."
Duanmu Huai didn't care, just nodded.
"So what's next? Where is the Chaldean refectory? β
"Canteen......... Ah, no, wait, Dr. Roman called us over, saying there was something important to say! β
"Alright then, we'll have breakfast later."
After listening to Matthew's words, Duanmu Huai didn't think much about it, so he followed Matthew out of the room, and then came to the control roomβββ I have to say that the employees of the Chaldea are really hardworking, although the current control room has not yet reached the level of rejuvenation, but the broken parts have basically been repaired. At least the surroundings look clean, and the damaged control system has been restored a lot.
"Ah, here you are, Duanmu Huai, Matthew."
Dr. Roman's condition was worse than that of Matthew, and at this time, with two dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he couldn't stand steadily, waved his hand at the two, and then took a sip of coffee like an old man drinking tea.
"Phew, it's been more or less fixed, and we've locked in the next anomaly......... But before that..............."
As he spoke, Roman stretched out his hand.
"Look!"
"What is this?"
Duanmu Huai looked at the colorful crystal-like thing in Roman's hand and asked suspiciously.
"This is the Holy Quartz, also known as the Imitation Spirit Seed Crystal, which we found in the place where you defeated Leif, as long as you use it, you can summon a spirit base through the Chaldean system and summon a Heroic Spirit to fight for us!"
Saying this, Roman looked at Matthew with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry to say it, after all, Chaldea is short of manpower right now, and we need a lot of personnel to replenish it, and it's not safe to let only the two of you go to the new special point...............
"So you mean, let me take this stone and go to draw cards?"
Duanmu Huai took the crystal and glanced at it curiously.
"Well, idleness is idleness, I want to see how my luck is."
So next, the group went to another room under the leadership of Roman, according to Dr. Roman's introduction, this is the Chaldean summoning room, as long as the holy crystal is used here, you can summon the Heroic Spirit to form a contract to fight together. I should have done this before, but I didn't expect this to happen.................. As a result, it has been placed all the time, but now it looks like it's finally coming to fruition.
But it doesn't matter!
Duanmu Huai held the holy crystal and looked at the summoning platform in front of him.
Next, it's time for ten consecutive hardware!
