Kingdom of Heaven, Unknowable Land.

Ezra, the second world of [the Unknowable], is known as the "world of formation".

A majestic church stands in a wide square.

The church is spacious and tall, with a set of ornate sculptures on the façade that vividly depict stories from the Bible that are fascinating. The bell tower of the church towers high into the sky, and the melodious sound of the bell echoes in the air every hour, which is refreshing. The interior of the church is even more magnificent, exuding an air of holiness that makes people feel connected with the gods.

A huge white light flickered through the world, and a young man with blond hair and golden eyes was teleported to the square.

When the white light dissipated, the fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom, who had just taken office, subconsciously looked up at the landmark building of [Yezra], the [Bell of Doom].

When he saw the time above, Xia Xiu's golden pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The time on [Clock of Doom] is wrong, it's a full three expansions faster than the previous one·····

In the Kingdom of Heaven, the four floors of [The Unknowable Land] have their own unique landmark buildings, for example, the place where Xia Xiu awakened [Yan Ling] earlier was the symbol of the first layer of [Aasia] - the [Holy Ark House].

The boundary monument standing outside the [Sacred Ark House] is inscribed:

We create gods and establish beliefs to depict our salvation. 】

[We hold the genealogy in our hands and analyze the ether in order to become the omniscient one. 】

The symbol of the second world [Ezra] is the [Clock of Doom], which is an imaginary clock face that is projected into the sky above [Ezra] and can be seen by every angel when he looks up.

[The Clock of Doom] is a metaphor for the threat of a sequence of crises to humanity.

The clock is evaluated by Eden every January, and it marks the distance the world is from destruction: midnight zero hours symbolizes the end of the world. The Eden Society will move the minute hand closer or the night in response to the world situation, as a reminder to all walks of life and angels to face up to the problem.

The original time of [Doomsday Bell] was "seven minutes to midnight".

Each year after that,According to the changes in the world situation,It's up to Eden to evaluate and decide whether to adjust the timing of the clock.。

The closer the clock is to midnight, the closer humanity is to disaster.

The time of the [Clock of Doom] hanging high in the sky at the moment looks very wrong.

——[Doomsday Bell]——

Minutes Remaining: 1

Current time: 23:59:00.

Weight adjustment (minutes): +10

————————

This time marks the beginning of the countdown to Honkai.

In the previous life, when the fifth expansion "The End" opened, [The Clock of Doom] would enter the final sixty-second countdown.

And now even the second expansion of "Apocalypse Deterrence" has not been opened, and Eden has started the countdown to Honkai.

Xia Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and he began to release his spirituality and interact with the ether in the more distant sky.

As he expected, there was no movement, and the aether above the stratosphere was sealed.

This means that [Heaven's Gate] and [Hell's Gate] have sealed Terra in advance.

"In the three days I was away, something big happened outside..."

Xia Xiu couldn't imagine what kind of big thing could make Eden move the minute hand closer by ten minutes.

He looked around and found that the angels of [Yezra] were very rare, the official battle angel seemed to be alone, the other angels seemed to be the lower three levels, and the angels engaged in clerical work, their expressions looked slightly flustered, for the arrival of the new angel, they just simply bowed their heads to say hello, and then began to take all kinds of paperwork and start to get busy.

Just as Xia Xiu was looking around, a ball of light began to gather in front of him, and he looked at the ball of light that was slowly forming.

[Hugh Abraham, please go to the [Central Containment Chamber, Entropy Pool Management Office] to meet-]

"Entropy Pool Management Center, that's not one of the core areas of the central containment chamber..." Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart. Then, he followed the ball of light that led the way.

Led by the ball of light, Xia Xiu soon came to the territory of the [Entropy Pool Management Office], and as he approached his destination, the familiar warning sound and red pop-up window appeared in front of him again.

[An order to assemble in accordance with the resolution.]

The current location is a Level 1 classified location.

Unauthorized access is prohibited, violators will be locked out and subject to necessary disposition.

You've been warned, and this is the last time. 】

"Enable authentication permissions." Xia Xiu said to the red pop-up window familiarly, and then he summoned the Book of Heavenly Genealogy that became the Book of Order.

[Identifying authentication information......

Please align your pupils with the biometric identifier.

The quantum stream link test was completed, which took 0.001 seconds, the response rate was 98.5%, and the average trusted time was 0.00314 seconds, which was in the normal range.

Contact with the DE-16 subsystem has been re-established.

Site Status Identifier: 002.

Certification, welcome.

The Fourth Sword Bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven: Hugh Abraham——]

With the certification passed, a huge ripple of space, and then layers of metal doors were opened.

Xia Xiu stepped in without hesitation.

*********

Central Containment Chamber, Entropy Pool Management Center.

Upon entering the management office, you will be greeted by a curved passage lined with various high-end instruments and display screens.

The researchers in white lab coats were busy operating the console in front of the screen, for Xia Xiu's arrival, they just nodded briefly, and then began to process all kinds of data in their hands in a hurry, it seems that the pull of the [Doomsday Bell] has cast a huge shadow on the hearts of all the angels.

The ball of light continued to guide Xia Xiu to the end of the passage.

There, a large metal door, one of the core areas leading to the lab, stood.

Pushing open the metal door, it is as if entering a mysterious time and space tunnel.

The walls of the laboratory are covered with smooth metal plates, and the neat environment is filled with complex circuits and equipment. The massive particle collider, a massive and complex consisting of dozens of ring magnets and particle detectors, lies in the center of the lab.

Particle Collider····

Xia Xiu just glanced at it briefly, and then took his gaze back, the ball of light was still carrying him forward, passing through the layers of gates, and he didn't know how many times he had authenticated his permission on the way.

After a long journey to certification, he was taken to the lowest part of the management office.

This is a special observation room, this observation room is made of heavy glass, and on the top of the observation room, a large round skylight casts a beam of red light, shining on the "red heart" that is constantly beating on the inside of the observation room.

Inside the observation room, a large red circular object was pulsating with a strong force, thirty meters in diameter, like a giant heart, emitting a mesmerizing light.

On the surface of the round object, the red light is constantly surging, like the beating of the heart, and each beat releases strong energy fluctuations. The light circulates on the circular surface, forming a myriad of brilliant and colorful patterns, as if telling some secret.

A researcher in his early sixties stood in the observation room, and unlike the attentive and capable researchers outside in neat white research coats, the old man looked crumpled and stained in his research coat, and he was holding a small wine bottle in his right hand, and he smelled of alcohol.

While Xia Xiu was looking at his heart, the old man turned his head and asked:

"[Gaia], it's beautiful, isn't it?"

The Mediterranean hairstyle reveals a faint silver-white color as the years go by, and his face is engraved with the marks of time, wrinkles intertwined into a somewhat cynical face, and his eyes with black-rimmed glasses shimmer brightly.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect that he would actually meet the person who made the resolution assembly here in advance, and it was the old man in front of him who triggered the second expansion.

0-03: Philosophical scientist, all-seeing, apocalyptic deterrent.

"Well, it's beautiful." Xia Xiu replied simply.

0-03 continued to look at the blonde young man in front of him, and then asked in a flat tone:

"You're Eden's bastard outside?"

“·····”

This question made Xia Xiu speechless for a while, and he replied:

"Eden is a think tank, and it can't have children."

"Who knows, I decided on a lot of weird AI issues; I also asked Eden if it could have children on its own, and it didn't say it couldn't. ”

"It's normal for it to ignore you." Xia Xiu couldn't help but shake his head, if he was Eden, he didn't want to hang this person.

0-03 holds up his bottle, takes a sip of his wine, and continues:

"My worldly name is: Pont Bergamos. You can call me Councilor Ponte or Professor Ponte. Eden asked you to come to my side to let you know about the situation, and I guess it plans to integrate you into the newly created core organization, and also be compatible with the junior researchers in the [Central Containment Cell].

It's still a familiar rush, and every heavenly sword-wielder has to go through it, but you're not very lucky, and you've encountered the most difficult times; Congratulations, become Eden's new tool man. ”

"A new core organization?" Xia Xiu recounted the useful information with a little surprise.

"Although it is only a proposal, it is estimated that this core body will be passed, and it will be independent of [Resolution Assembly], responsible only to [Yahweh], and only subject to Eden's supervision." Ponte said unhurriedly.

"How can this be passed? Excluding the neutral [Central Containment Chamber], the current five core structures are stable enough, how can they allow the establishment of new core institutions to continue, and they are directly under the jurisdiction of Eden, how can the hawks be..."

"Eden launched the Utopia Project agenda, and now the plan is under construction, and the program has been rewritten by Eden; It is expected to enter the implementation phase of the plan in three years, which is the first series of agendas, when all the angels will vote on the discussion, the discussion will be adopted, and all the angels must obey. ”

Utopia plans are on the agenda, and it's no wonder that hawks would agree to new core institutions, and for the sake of utopia, they can endure many conditions that were previously unacceptable.

However, I've only slept for three days, and I've just landed on the [Void Crown], and I haven't even constructed the [Crown] Quadruple Realm, so boss, you just give me the strength to die. Xia Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

Life is not easy, and the workers sigh.

Originally, he was crazy involuted, crazy upgraded, and planned to secretly surprise everyone; But the more he rolls, the higher the strength of the version becomes, and before he can kill others, the boss is going to roll him to death with strength.

Sure enough, workers should be salted fish

Xia Xiu rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, and the familiar smell of social animals began to brew in him, but before he became a tool man, he had to sort out some information.

"I want to ask, what the hell has happened in the past three days?"

"It seems that you have been on a business trip outside the main world for the past three days, well, to put it simply, the resolution assembly has a traitor, he gave Eden a knife, and he also robbed a lot of things."

“…………”

"The curtain is broken."

“…………”

"But it's been repaired by sewing and mending, and it will be usable."

“······” The blonde young man's eyebrows raised unconsciously, and he felt bad when he looked at Pont Bergamos, who was about to continue speaking.

"The Daevites and Oretin waged an all-out war, and five of the Thirteen Heroes were killed and four were seriously wounded."

"The [Financial Street] of the Addison Federation is out of control, well, the back has been repaired, but the New York is completely gone, the one that can't be saved; Oh, they're in a semi-normal, semi-abnormal situation, a strange equilibrium, and part of the new core is to control them. ”

"The Four Sovereigns have invaded the Overworld, and [Killing Heaven], [Stagnation Heaven], [Channeling Heaven], and [Elysium] have been loaded into the Terra Overworld."

"The stars are going to return to their positions, and there's a big problem in the starry sky."

"Oh also, Eden asked you to come over, and I still have to tell you additional information, that is, Terra's [entropy pool number] is going to explode, the ancient gods of the world are about to wake up, and all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are also appearing together, [Gaia] is about to lose it, and Terra is going to explode."

Ponte Bergamos pointed to the beating red heart and spoke his last words to the blonde youth, who had been utterly silent.

"I've got to figure out what to think about."

"Well, I'll help you, No, I've already packaged and shared the infotains, you can use the pedigree to receive it, it's all explosive information, first-hand information."

Xia Xiu ignored Ponte Bergamos's jump, he opened the genealogy interface and began to watch the information content, first of all, from the Addison Federation.

——————————

"Communicate with each other? Mutual benefit? ”

The blonde angel didn't know what mood to use to evaluate the report in his hand.

The new strategy, which has been in place since 1 September, is undoubtedly a political compromise and concession to bring the Terra crisis to the side of stability.

He continued to look at the second report.

-- The impact of crisis events on [entropy pool number] --

Entropy increase is an important concept in thermodynamics and statistical physics, which involves the degree of chaos or disorder of a system.

In an isolated system, entropy never decreases, but always increases or stays the same. In other words, the degree of chaos or disorder in a closed system always tends to increase.

When a civilization's entropy pool reads as high as 10^10 to 10^13, under such conditions, the civilization can fully use all kinds of thaumaturgy without considering other factors, and only a few preconditions can produce extremely large amounts of EVE particles, which in turn drive thaumaturgical effects.

Most common thaumaturgical effects rely on the consumption of the entropy pool and a high reading of the entropy pool, and at too low these thaumaturgy will either be inoperable, or require a strong EVE stream and the ability to manipulate it; The more disordered and chaotic the environment, the easier it is to unleash thaumaturgy.

Thaumaturgical systems, after undergoing a spontaneous process, always tend to increase the overall entropy of Terra.

This spontaneous process refers to the process that occurs spontaneously within the Terra system without the need for external intervention; The energy transformation within a closed system always tends to be more dispersed and disordered.

This process leads to an increase in the entropy of the Terra system.

This is the main reason for the natural disasters of the Oretin Empire, and the radiation of [Crystal Sky] only expands the level of chaos and disorder that increases entropy.

If large-scale thaumaturgical applications are allowed, it will inevitably lead to an explosion of entropy pools.

At that time, natural disasters will not just wreak havoc on Oletin.

The Veil is more like a heat-reducing machine, and the Heavenly Kingdom uses a special instrument [Gaia] to purify its own internal thaumaturgical pollution, and at the same time, part of the surplus resources are used to suppress the increase in the entropy of the Terra system.

Right now. [Gaia] has entered overload mode, and the current Terra's entropy pool has reached the Honkai threshold.

The current entropy pool of Terra is: 5.90×10^11 (Honkai stage-)

————————————

Eden declares to all the angels:

Terra has officially entered the countdown to Honkai.

The Honkai Authority was established to suppress the increasingly deteriorating Terra situation, and from then on, the Kingdom of Heaven will enter the stage of full-scale interference in Terra.
