471. All hands are lost

"Wow-whoa-"

The sound of the tide turned from light to heavy, and the salty and humid smell in the air gradually became clear.

"Wow-whoa-"

Although Li Nuo couldn't open his eyes for the time being, his five senses were rapidly recovering.

He smelled the peculiar smell of the sea, heard the tide surging not far away, and a pale blue light swayed from side to side in his closed eyes.

His ability to think recovered a little faster than his five senses, and doubts about where he was rose to his mind and occupied his mind.

"I feel like I'm out of space, and now I'm on the edge of the beach, not far from the waves and the sea. There are no birds, no sounds of human activity, and no wind sounds like they don't exist... What the hell is this place? ”

With doubts, Li Nuo struggled to regain control of his body, and reluctantly raised his right hand and rubbed it on his face a few times, so that he could open a tiny slit in his eyes.

"This is the ocean?"

Li Nuo saw the scene in front of him clearly, and involuntarily took a deep breath, which invisibly affected the injuries in his body.

Pain stimulates the brain and instantly awakens all his senses.

This is not the beach you expected.

It is a peculiar area made of weightless seawater.

The aqua-blue liquid floats in the air in the form of clumps, blocks, and bands, colliding and merging with each other, making the sound of water splashing at the ebb and flow of the tide.

And Li Nuo was not lying on the sandy beach at the moment, but beneath him was a glowing floor that was obviously out of step with his surroundings, emitting a dull but heavy pale gray light.

Li Nuo struggled to his feet, and was just about to use his magic to detect the space around him, when a familiar voice came from a ripple block of seawater:

"You're awake."

Leno heard the master of the voice, which was the core of the "escape" plane that had rescued him from the Void Forks:

"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. Where am I? ”

The figure of "Escape" floated out of the seawater cube and appeared in front of Li Nuo in the form of an aqua blue liquid figure:

"This is the safe house I built in the wilderness, located in the middle of the wilderness, about 40 million light-years away from the starry sky."

When Li Nuo heard that it was a "safe house", the sense of crisis in his heart dissipated a little, and he looked around curiously.

"Escape" explains:

"These are the liquid creatures I found on some ocean planet. They can be suspended in the air without the influence of gravity, mimicking the sound of the ocean tide, and they are also very good at protection. I used this liquid creature as a building material to build this safe house. ”

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment:

"You said this is a liquid creature? I thought they were just weightless water masses..."

"Escape" chuckled and said:

"When I first saw them, I had the same idea as you. It wasn't until I found out that I could communicate with them that I realized that what seemed to be just a mass of water was actually a very strange liquid life. I've been wandering around the wilderness for so long, and I've always found something that has opened my eyes, and the ecology and creatures of this place are so incredible. ”

Li Nuo restrained the curiosity in his heart, tried to call the snow-winged cat, and learned to sense that the cat was 108,000 miles away from him, and the soul connection between himself and the other party had never been more fragile.

"What happened before?"

Li Nuo sensed the specific location of the cat and asked in confusion:

"My magic messenger seems to be still in the alien sky, but how did I get to the wasteland?"

"Escape" replied:

"I forced this passage of the jump you were in, causing spatial turbulence. In the turbulence of space, it is a trivial matter to randomly fall to any direction of the universe, but losing one's life is a major matter. You're lucky that I found you before you fell into one of the stars in the wilderness and transferred you to a safe house. As for your magical messenger, its spatial abilities are stronger than I thought, and it has broken free from the spatial turbulence on its own. ”

"I see..."

The doubts in Li Nuo's mind did not dissipate because of the answer to "escape".

There were so many questions in his head.

Why did the Void suddenly appear near the player's "real" planet, and why did they destroy it with a thunderbolt?

Are Senati, the Core of the Command Plane, and the Assassination Angel as safe and sound as they are?

How are the players?

What is the situation in the inner starry sky?

Was the angel of the scroll also suddenly attacked?

Questions like these urge Li Nuo to act.

He first tried to activate the soul connection between himself and all parties, and then planned to take out the ritual materials and arrange the magic circle to connect with the book angels on the spot.

This is the safe house of the "escape".

To use the circle here, you must first obtain the consent of "escape".

Li Nuo asked the other party's opinion, and thought that he would get a positive answer, but he didn't expect "escape" to sigh lightly, and said in a regretful tone:

"I'm sorry, Lenovo, I have to tell you a series of bad news."

"The bad news? What's the bad news? Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat.

"Escape" says:

"The core of the Command plane has been captured by the Outer Universe. The Assassination Angel and Senati were battered and were now struggling in places we didn't know about. The barrier of the inner starry sky has been completely paralyzed, and all the barrier passages in and out of the inner starry sky are all locked. Neither angels, gods, nor mortals could enter the inner starry sky, nor could they know what was going on inside. ”

Li Nuo's face was stunned, frozen like a sculpture.

He didn't doubt the "escape" rhetoric, and since the other party saved him from the turbulence of time and space, there was naturally no need to deceive him.

Li Nuo only needs to ask the snow-winged cat, and then use magic to observe the situation of the inner starry sky and the player's planet, and then he can verify the words of "escape".

In fact, as early as the moment he saw Senati's doppelganger explode and the player's planet was shattered by the Void Fork, the pessimistic premonition in Li Nuo's heart was irrepressibly strong.

Now hearing about the situation of your extraordinary existence, Li Nuo only felt that the situation was not as bad as he imagined.

At least the "Order" was only captured, not killed.

At least the assassination of Angel and Senati was only seriously wounded and not killed.

At least the inner starry sky has only entered a completely closed state, and has not yet been completely occupied by the outer universe from the inside out.

In all these seemingly pessimistic scenes, there is still a hint of vitality.

Li Nuo fell into deep thought, looking for the disgust to break the game, and suddenly remembered a person:

"By the way, what about the angel of the scroll? What about Him? ”

"Escape" says:

"The angel of the scroll did not leave the inner starry sky. I suspect that the movement of the Inner Sky Barrier has something to do with Him, and it is likely that He closed all the barrier access to and from the Inner Starry Sky. ”

In that case, now only the Book Angel and the Core of the "Wizard" and "Knight" planes are left in the inner starry sky to deal with enemies such as the Metal Ancestral Dragon...

Leno realized that it was imperative to contact the Assassin Angel and Senati as soon as possible to discuss a plan to help the Angel of the Book.

While Leno was pondering, the core of the "escape" plane spoke:

"Do you know who your enemies are?"

Li Nuo came back to his senses and looked at "Escape".

"Escape" asks again:

"Do you know your enemies?"

Li Nuo didn't know what "escape" wanted to say, so he could only follow the other party's meaning and say:

"My enemy is Uwai Nagai. I don't know much about them, but I've only seen the evils of Chaos, Void, and Hysteria. ”

There was an inexplicable meaning in the tone of "escape":

"Then you don't know what kind of enemy you're facing. You don't even know the nature of the Broken Dimension. ”

The figure of "Escape" slowly sank, landed in front of Li Nuo and stopped, and slowly said:

"Whether it is the inner starry sky or the outer starry sky, their cosmic space has one characteristic, that is, time flows in one direction.

"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future. In the inner and outer starry sky, what happened in the past can affect the present and the future, but the things of the future cannot affect the past, at most because of the predictive behavior of living beings. ”

"Escape" paced slowly around Li Nuo, and said as he walked on the smooth ground that emitted a pale gray light:

"The situation of the 'Fracture Dimension' is completely different from the inner and outer starry sky. The future condition of the creature there can affect its past and present.

"Suppose the current point in time is A, and the future point in time is B.

"At point B, the Void Fork obtained an item that can greatly increase his strength.

"Then, the Void Fork at time A can have part of the strength of the Void Fork at time B.

"Over time, the Void Fork travels from time A to time B. At this moment, if it successfully obtains a power-up item, then it can improve its strength completely. If it doesn't get a power-booster, the strength it previously gained from point B will be completely gone. ”

The core of the "escape" plane stood still, paused and said:

"I can explain it to you in a simple way. Creatures in the "Fracture Dimension" can borrow some of their strength from their future selves and retain this strength forever after certain conditions are met. This is the uniqueness of the Fracture Dimension.

"The extraordinary beings of the Supreme Star Palace like to call this way of increasing their strength 'the future shines into reality'. This statement is too literary. I prefer to call it "borrowing the future".

"The Void Forks you encountered, as well as the mosaic round door that put the Void Forks, borrowed power from your future self, which is why they are so powerful."

Li Nuo frowned when he heard this, and for the first time, he intuitively felt the evil and strength of the Outer Eternal Demon, which was far stronger than when he faced the Chaos Evil in the inner starry sky.

In the face of such a powerful enemy, is it really possible to defend them from the inner starry sky with only the assassination angels, cenati, the book angels, and the mortals who have pulled them together?

Perhaps seeing Li Nuo's doubts and anxieties, the core of the "escape" plane said in a soothing tone:

However, not all of them are free to "borrow the future". Specifically, only the Void faction's Outer Eiji can use this ability. Other factions, such as the Chaos and Hysterical Brains, must meet extremely harsh conditions before they can "borrow the future".

"You don't want to think that the Void faction will become invincible because it can 'borrow the future'. This kind of unanimous is very much like a crazy gambler who uses thousands of times leverage to participate in high-risk trades. As soon as the slightest unexpected change is found in the direction of the future, they will suddenly weaken from a ferocious beast to a poor pug, or even die outright, which is the negative effect of "borrowing the future". ”

"Escape" seemed to know a lot about the Void Clan, and at the end of his voice, it sighed:

"Almost all Void Forks die in the process of cannibalism after birth. They will activate the ability to "borrow the future" when they are born, and then die on the spot because of their mortal future.

"The Void Forks you've seen before are far beyond my imagination, and there may only be one in the tens of trillions of Void Forks.

"Speaking of which, I think you should understand why the Void Faction was still suppressed by the Supreme Star Palace despite having the 'Borrowed Future'. They can't get a glimpse into the future, but they try to gain power from the future, and eventually lead to catastrophe. ”

Li Nuo nodded thoughtfully:

"I suppose that the Assassination Angel and Senati, as members of the Supreme Star Palace, should know how to deal with the Void Forks, right? It may be that they were able to survive the attack of the Void Forks and save their lives. ”

"Escape" Plane Core says:

"If you're going to contact these two angels, I can help you, though doing so could cause Uegai to discover this safe house. However, I would recommend that you try to contact the Angel of Books and inquire carefully about the situation in the inner starry sky. ”

"Why do you say that?" Li Nuo asked.

"Escape" explains:

"All I know is that the Assassin Angels and Senati were seriously wounded, but I don't know where they are. It is very likely that the inner starry sky is their refuge, which is the first reason why I suggest you contact the angels of the books first.

"The second reason is that if the Holy Flame in the Inner Starry Sky has fallen into the hands of the Outer Universe, then it is impossible for you to snatch the Holy Flame back alone, it is better to stay away from the Inner and Outer Starry Sky as soon as possible and settle in the Wasteland."

Li Nuo thought for a moment and felt that the "escape" statement made sense.

To inquire about the condition of the angel of the scroll is to find out where events are going.

If the battle for the sacred flame with Outer Eternal had failed, then no matter how hard Li Nuo tried to find the assassination angel and Senati who were hiding, it would be in vain.

Instead of doing useless work, it is better to contact the angel of the scroll first to figure out the situation in the inner starry sky.

"But I'm not sure if the ritual will receive a response from the angel of the scroll when all the passages in and out of the inner starry sky are closed..."

Li Nuo thought to himself for a while, and finally decided to give it a try first.

He skillfully arranged the ritual circle, injected soul energy, and activated the circle.

It didn't take long for the exciting news to appear!

The ritual was normal, and Li Nuo's consciousness smoothly left his body under the effect of the ritual, and in an instant, he arrived near the black hole where the inner starry sky was located, and then plunged into it.

In the purple-black space, there is only one faint point of light, which is the end of this ceremony, that is, the projection of the book angel in the ceremony.

Li Nuo's consciousness was close to the point of light.

The outline of the point of light quickly became clear, evolving into a fully enclosed stone house, in which the figure slumped to the ground and sat in the corner of the wall was the angel of the scroll.

The Angel of the Book sensed Li Nuo's ritual and saw a translucent figure that quickly condensed in front of him.

"You've finally got in touch with me, Li Nuo... Watch out for everything around you, and beware of reaching out to your assassination angels, cenati, and anything else alive, most likely in the guise of Uewai Eiga. ”

"I know, I know, I'm with Escape right now, and I'm very safe."

Li Nuo just wanted to walk into the situation of the angel in the book to observe the other party's injury, and a vision suddenly appeared!

A long black fork pierced his heart from back to front, and then plunged into the head of the angel of the scroll!

"Ahem!"

Li Nuo's eyes widened, coughing up a large cloud of blood mist, and the sharp pain in his chest completely occupied his mind.

He looked down in disbelief at the black fork that ran through his chest, only to see it suddenly extend forward, through his body, and into the head of the Angel of the Book across tens of millions of light-years of space!

"Bang!!"

The angel's head exploded, and thick black water erupted from the crack!

This angel who helped Li Promise for a long time has died!
