Outside Research Institute Zero, the phenomenon of crystal anomalies reached a climax.

The golden and maroon crystals have condensed into a layer of brilliant crystal armor on the surface of the two elves' bodies, although it is not heavy, but the crystal clear texture is dazzling and amazing.

Above the foreheads of the two elves, there were two marks that looked like lightning and fists, which seemed to confirm Xia Chen's conjecture about the mechanism of this phenomenon changing attributes.

(The shape of the crystalline is slightly changed, and the animation is somewhat acceptable to copy reality.)

And looking at the changes in the two elves, Xia Chen's heart was also slightly moved.

If they could, they couldn't

After all, now he and Deochisis are heterogeneous beings, and they can be regarded as elves at all.

So, he began to try to absorb the brilliance that overflowed from the surface of the Institute.

But no matter how much he tried to capture it, the end result was not as he hoped.

It's like yes. His body was an unlidded container that could store liquids, but the energy emitted by the crystals was like a gas that could escape at any time—

He lacks a "lid".

Xia Chen didn't know what this lid should be made of, but it was obviously not something that should be considered at this time.

In front of him, the two elves who had completed the crystallization began the second round of battle.

Every seemingly random gesture Milletton made was more terrifying than when he was in the upper echelons, and according to conservative estimates of the overflowing aura, it had increased by about one-third.

But this is not the case for Soleton, who has lost its mind due to anger, and the power of its moves is almost the same as before.

Obviously, this special phenomenon only strengthens its fighting attributes alone, and has no effect on the dragon's reverse scales.

What's worse than not enjoying the increase in the power of the move is that the damage of the electric move that Leton takes seems to be even deeper

Xia Chen had a faint answer in his heart, and the crystallization phenomenon most likely transformed the fighting and dragon dual attributes into a separate fighting attribute.

Losing the dragon's resistance to electricity, it will naturally hurt more when it hits 100,000 volts.

And from another point of view, the reverse scale can no longer deal double restraint damage to Milletton, who is now purely electric?

In front of him, Milletton, who was carrying the scales and looked indifferent, told Xia Chen with cold eyes that there was nothing wrong.

The good news is that Xia Chen has preliminarily figured out the strengthening principle of this special crystallization.

The bad news is that the price to pay is the constant beating of the old Leton.

That's the problem

…………

Xia Chen didn't expect that the rush to obtain the Origin Scale at that time and the use of Reverse Scale would cause such bad consequences.

If you don't use the reverse scales, you can also use the enhanced fighting moves to compete with the opponent at this time, and you can run away safely no matter how bad it is.

But now, the frenzied side effects of the reverse scales have made all this go down the road.

Remorse is useless, how to survive the current difficulties is the key.

Looking down at the Zero Research Institute, which was unharmed in the aftermath of the energy generated by the collision of moves, Xia Chen was thoughtful.

The strength of this building seems to be quite strong?

Why don't you go in and get out of the limelight?

Xia Chen could no longer care about whether such an act would have any consequences for the institute.

Anyway, Dr. Orin is an AI and not a real person, so there is no moral dilemma.

I made up my mind, and now I just had to wait for Loton to finish off his frenzy of Scales, and then immediately take it into the ball and escape into the Institute.

Plans are beautiful, but reality often doesn't happen.

As time passed, Xia Chen, who was saving energy on the side so as not to lose his physical strength for a while, discovered a problem that exceeded expectations-

Perhaps because the strength was too strong, the duration of Lerton's anti-scale frenzy was a little too long, and Xia Chen waited for nearly ten minutes, and there was no sign of stopping.

Counting the time spent galloping all the way, the frenzy of the reverse scales has been more than half an hour!

On a normal elf, this is almost unthinkable.

A large number of studies have shown that elves in a state of frenzy will gradually withdraw from frenzy within three minutes.

And Leden has been going on for more than half an hour, and it looks like it hasn't dissipated at all, definitely more than that!

What Xia Chen was worried about was that if this continued, Deochisis's energy would run out, so Loton would still not be able to get out of the frenzy, and the problem would be a big problem.

In order to avoid this situation, Xia Chen chose a strategic retreat very decisively - first exit the transformation state and run into the research institute, conserve his strength, and wait for the fanatical state of the old Loton to dissipate before flying out and taking it back.

This is the only solution at the moment.

…………

It should be said that the strength of the construction of Research Institute Zero is quite impressive.

The battle between the two legendary elves has been going on for more than ten minutes, but the research institute, which is only a hundred meters away from the battlefield, is safe and sound, and the special crystal covering it has not even appeared a little crack.

This is the magic of the creation of the elven world, which is very likely to be a material that is not inferior in strength to the super stone.

Under the protection of the crystal, Xia Chen came to the gate of the big research institute without danger.

Exiting the transformation, shaking his head that was a little stinging from the transformation of Euchisis, he unlocked the iris and entered the institute.

Inside, it was the same as yesterday, and the few staff members were busy working as if they hadn't heard the movement outside.

Xia Chen was silent, it seemed that these ordinary people were not human anymore

What about Dr. Orin?

Her AI level authority must be higher, will she have a special reaction in the face of this situation that should be considered expected?

In order to be safe, Xia Chen released Xianbu and Shanaiduo to protect them, and arranged for Doron Messia, who was the smallest and most convenient to run, to watch the battle outside.

He then unleashed the power of the waveguide to find Dr. Orin while exploring the interior of the institute.

The enhancement of spiritual power has made Xia Chen's waveguide power now cover an extremely wide area, and it is not a problem to cover most of the research institutes.

It's just because of the shielding of this special crystal that Xia Chen can only look for it room by room.

Soon, the first level was explored, and no trace of Dr. Orin was found.

So, is it up or down?

At the mouth of the stairs, Xia Chen pondered this question.

He suddenly remembered the conversation with Dr. Orin yesterday, and she seemed to mention that the location of the alleged time machine was underground.

This kind of special node, maybe not necessarily in that place?

No longer hesitating, Xia Chen stepped to the basement floor.

The road on the basement level is very clear, and the stairwell goes down, there are two passages, one on the left and one on the right.

The style to the left is wild and unrestrained, and the style to the right is cyber dreamy, like a road to the past and a road to the future.

Because Dr. Orin had mentioned the reason why she was in charge of the ancient paradox, Xia Chen chose to go to the left.

There were no extra laboratories or other rooms on the basement floor, and along the strange passage all the way to the end, what appeared in front of Xia Chen's eyes was an extremely fantastic scene.

…………

On the wall, a huge hole that looked like a black hole opened wide open - in fact, Xia Chen had never seen a black hole, and he described it like this only because he thought that a black hole should look like this.

The entrance to the cave is black as a whole, but it seems to contain all the colors of the world, and the so-called colorful black is probably nothing more than that.

"Is this the gateway to the ancient world?"

Xia Chen muttered to himself.

"Yes, this is the time machine that leads to the ancients, to be precise, the one-way time machine that leads to here in the ancient times!"

Beside the passageway, Dr. Orin replied calmly.

As soon as he entered, Xia Chen, who was attracted by this spectacular scene, only found that Dr. Orin was standing by the passage.

He frowned and asked, "Are you still keeping this statement, is it not necessary, Dr. Orin or Ms. AI?" ”

Orin didn't have the horror on his face that the mask was pierced, but said flatly, "You found out?" I see what the kid told you, right? ”

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief that Orin AI did not react aggressively, and he was afraid that this thing would activate some kind of protection program because the truth was discovered.

"Reacquaint yourself with the fact that I am an artificial intelligence generated based on the wisdom and knowledge of Dr. Orin during his lifetime, you can call me Orin."

Like Gu Leton, the AI himself didn't take Li Daitao stiff too seriously, and only Xia Chen was frightened because of this incident.

But this can't be blamed entirely on Xia Chen, whoever finds out that the person living in front of him is actually a robot, presumably his reaction will not be calm.

But after getting used to it, Xia Chen is now able to face it calmly.

Then, he asked out the confusion that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"The existence of the paradox, the crystals of the Institute, what is going on with all this?"

Although I don't know if Orin AI will tell the truth, it is possible to get an answer if you ask, and if you don't ask, you will definitely miss this opportunity.

Luckily, Orin answered.

As if triggering the Q&A mechanism of the NPCs in the game, she immediately said: "This crystal is called [Taijing], and it has been around for an unknown amount of time at the bottom of Area Zero, and this is a great god creation. ”

Xia Chen's heart moved, god? Is it the third god of Pardea?

He asked, "What kind of existence are the gods in your mouth?" ”

Because it was AI, Orin almost didn't have to think about it, and quickly replied: "The respect of the gods is, Taile Bagos, the form of the legend is that the god is like a giant tortoise, shaped like a disc, exuding a shining aura, and is the creator of the entire Pardian continent. ”

Xia Chen nodded secretly, is it really the creation myth of Pardia?

In Hoen's legend, it is not surprising that the continent was also created by Groud.

He thought so, but Orin's next sentence made him stunned on the spot.

…………

"And this Pit of Pardea is the dwelling place of God."

This sounds scary, the giant tortoise is shaped like a disc, and the whole shape of the Padia crater is like a large bowl.

If the conjecture is true, the size of this great god is one-fifth the size of the entire Padian land?

That's a little too big, isn't it?

"Looks like you understand what I mean."

AI is good at reading people's micro-expressions, and from Xia Chen's contemplative look, Orin got the answer.

"This is the greatness of the Creator, God sheds his shell once every ten thousand years, and every time he transforms, he will make the pit have an extra layer, and the Taijing is the debris produced when his shell sheds, and even the debris has extremely great power, and that phenomenon is the [Taicrystalization] that the two spirits present now."

Orin preached the gospel of her faith like a devout believer.

Xia Chen couldn't wait to ask, "What about the paradox?" Is this also the creation of that god? ”

Orin was silent for a moment before nodding slowly, "Indeed, to be precise, this is the crystallization of human imagination and the creativity of the gods. ”

Human imagination!

Xia Chen was frightened by this answer, but when he recalled the many strange things in Zhu Zi's book, everything seemed to have an answer.

Why are these elves called [Paradox] instead of [Ancient Form] or [Future Form]

Why does the paradox of the future have a sense of absurdity that people in the past imagine the future world?

Why the text next to the future paradox Billigion reads, "The team drew what it would be like if there were an Illusory Spirit in Area Zero." ”

Feelings: This is to draw the target first, and then shoot the arrow!

"So. The truth of the paradox is that Taile Bagos created these elves that originally only existed in human fantasies through the "Book of Vermilion" that Haizhe and the others pulled out? ”

Xia Chen wanted to confirm this crazy answer.

Orin affirmed, "God is interested in the human imagination, and it has created two worlds based on the book of vermilion, and has created all the spirits that are now called [paradoxes]." ”

…………

The truth was revealed, everything was white, and this crazy answer made Xia Chen stand on the spot, unable to calm down for a long time.

No wonder Milletton was furious when he learned the truth, how could a haughty legendary elf accept that he was the product of human imagination.

And what about Letton?

Xia Chen suddenly remembered the big red lizard that had never shown any suspicion and frustration on weekdays.

After being together for so long, he understood that the arrogance in Lerton's heart was no less than that of Milleton, but he usually didn't show it much.

What was it thinking when it learned about that?

Xia Chen's mind was empty, trying to bring his thoughts in.

Wrath? Disillusionment? Go to pieces? Negation? Despair?

It may have been, but in the end, it chose to accept it.

Because on the evening of that encounter, on the storm-battered [Great Electric Petrel], Lerton was so gentle when he told Xia Chen about his past.

And the nostalgia for his hometown is as real as a wanderer who has been away from his hometown for many years.

Xia Chen suddenly remembered a famous saying in his previous life, there is only one true heroism in this world, that is, after knowing the truth of life, you still love life.

So Le Dun may be such a hero.

Xia Chen thought in a daze.

Boom –

The sudden sound of explosion and thunder outside the house woke Xia Chen up, and he suddenly remembered that Le Dun was still fighting outside.

The truth about the Institute and Sector Zero is clear, and it's time to go out and get the old Leton back.

Xia Chen was about to turn around and leave, but there was a sudden movement in the passage behind him.

A long, ancient and majestic cry that looked like some kind of dragon spirit came from the passage.

Xia Chen was stunned and looked at the hole that suddenly spun around, and turned his head to look at Orin on the side, "What's going on?" ”

Orin AI calmly replied, "The riot of Taijing Energy has violated Dr. Orin's belief that [paradoxical species must not invade the outside world] during his lifetime, and in order to prevent the situation from becoming more serious, the [Paradise Defense System] has been activated. ”

Xia Chen frowned and asked, "What is the defense system?" ”

Orin replied succinctly, "Summoning the Paradox Species from the Ancient World to stop the riot. ”

…………

Xia Chen was speechless, can this TM be called a defense system?

Feelings aren't messy enough now, are they?

Besides, what kind of paradox can intervene in the battle between those two legendary elves?

As if to see what Xia Chen was thinking, Orin explained: "The paradox species will obey the orders of the managers of Research Institute Zero for a period of time after coming to this world, you can understand it as a kind of soft ideological steel seal that will only last for a period of time, the stronger the strength, the shorter the time. ”

"And the paradox of this summoning."

Before Orin AI could be introduced, the roar coming from the entrance of the passage was already approaching and deafening.

An elf with a half-crouching posture, a water-blue body, and thick purple hair on its neck emerged from the passage.

Its appearance can only be described in one word, and it is difficult to describe it in a word.

Let's say it's wild, but its appearance like a water monarch has a hint of elegance, but how elegant it is, it is seventy percent similar to the legendary dinosaurs that have been extinct for tens of millions of years.

It can only be said that this is very much in line with Xia Chen's imagination of the stitching monster.

This kind of elf is recorded in the Book of Vermilion Zi, Xia Chen has the impression, and it is rumored to be the ancient paradox of the Water Monarch, the code name, Wave Water.

But now it seems that it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that Hai Zhe's party maliciously smeared the creation of Shui Jun.

As for why it is said to be a smear - the ancient species of [the incarnation of the North Wind], who is known for his mysterious elegance, is like this, I'm afraid that King Feng can't stop Shui Jun from tearing up the person who painted this picture, right?

It's even more excessive than the paradoxical breeder brother of the little black man in the future!

Speaking of which, Xia Chen should have thought that the existence of the ancient species of Water Monarch was also a fictitious empirical evidence of the paradox.

As we all know, the Water Monarch is not an elf born from nature, it is called the Phoenix King Guard along with the two elves of Emperor Yan and Lei Gong.

Legend has it that they were originally three unknown elves who were burned to death during a fire in the Scorched Tower, and the Phoenix King resurrected them, and they became the Phoenix King's messengers to observe the human race.

That being the case, then it would be ridiculous for the existence of the ancient water monarch -

Could it be that the Phoenix King traveled to the ancient times of Pardia and resurrected this dinosaur-like water king?

It doesn't seem to make sense, only the explanation that the waves are fantasy creatures.

Thinking about it, the wave water had completely walked out of the space-time passage, and although the appearance and aura were wild, from the expression of his face, as Dr. Orin said, with a slight gentle obedience.

It's hard to imagine that this is a legendary elf that was so strange a second ago.

Xia Chen's eyes looked at Orin AI with a strange look, what kind of connection did she have with the god named Taile Bagos in order to gain the permission to temporarily drive the legendary elf she created?
