Chapter 38: Crazy Mountains
[Mission Diary Updated-]
[Coordination Mission: Ask all the Executives of Team A6 to go to the shores of Teresa and the Inspector of Teresa {Angel of Power} to make peace with the Fourth Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Kingdom, and lead them to the ruins of the Kalki Mountains to investigate——]
After Ioni controls fifty drones with Lady Teresa through peripheral modules to destroy the divers who have infiltrated the interior of Corsica, [Adam]'s message is delivered to her and Teresa's watches.
"Explore the ruins..." Ioni manipulated the hordes of Builders' drones to perform a unique [Gear Folding], turning them into a small ball, while recalling the mist-shrouded Kalki Mountains in her mind.
The Kalki Mountains are isolated by a large [Reality Anchor], with angels from the Authority and the Burial Authority stationed inside, and the Mountains are not only infested with anomalous phenomena, but also a large amount of Miyovirus and contamination, and the personnel of the Authority and the Burial Authority are only allowed to stay in it for three days, after which they will be rotated.
Ioni had only one impression of the fog-shrouded Kalki Mountains – madness.
Ever since the discovery of the unknown ruins, the Kalki Mountains can only be described as crazy, and it is a crazy mountain range.
A small advance team of the Celestial Expedition found only the remains of 14 prehistoric life forms in the mountains that were not known to science and could not be identified as plants or animals. Six of the specimens were badly damaged, while the other eight were preserved in their original state, and according to the Celestial Database, the remains were not from Terra, but alien creatures from the stars.
Moreover, there is an abomination within the mountains that Ioni had hunted with the angels of the burial mechanism's squad, an unbelievable being, a gelatinous creature, slippery and resilient.
These abominations were enormous, like an overgrown, amorphous mass, and on their irregular fleshy surface there were often innumerable eyes, which flickered and dimmed, sometimes staring, sometimes turning, like stars in the starry sky; Those eyes have no fixed position, shifting, spreading, or condensing as the giant monster transforms.
Between their eyes, mouths, tentacles, and other unidentified organs emerge and disappear irregularly, as if they are still looking for the best position in the midst of a momentary change of form. As it moved, its body flowed like flowing water, gliding across the ground, with no distinct legs or footprints, just the endless, wriggling, sliding flesh.
The Celestial Advance Force and the Authority team had a fierce battle with these abominations, and although these monsters were primitive in appearance, their intelligence and thaumaturgical technology were quite advanced, and it was precisely because of the appearance of these abominations that the Celestial Kingdom's exploration of the ruins was put on hold.
Coupled with the fact that every once in a while a large army of deep divers tries to infiltrate Corsica, if it weren't for the presence of a large number of [executives] of the Authority, the number of angels originally stationed in Corsica would not have been able to keep them busy.
"Ione, come with me to the coast to meet Lord Abraham, you must have met before. It just so happens that the information you found on the Addisi expedition in the mountains could help advance Lord Abraham's mission to investigate the ruins. ”
The heroic Teresa included the sword in her hand in the [Heavenly Arsenal], she was one of the few angels of heaven who did not use a chainsaw sword, and the sword in her hand was given to her by the angel who was originally stationed in Corsica in charge of heavenly operations.
It was a powerful runic sword, inherited from the Heavenly [Crusaders].
"Before we quarantined there, the expedition team from the famous university of Addison was conducting an expedition here, and the geologists who led the team were infected by the terrible monster and the mimusin near the mountains to the point of collapse, if your team hadn't happened to find them, I'm afraid this team would have to confess here."
Teresa said as she motioned for the A6 team to follow her pace and head to the shores of Bonifacio.
"Actually, I don't understand what kind of university people would be idle and think about conducting an expedition in the ice field at the pole of the Chaos Sea; Also, how they deviated from the fixed route to Corsica, and happened to encounter the reappearance of the ruins, the unusually shrouded Culki Mountains; Then I happened to find useful information, and I was hunted down by those abominations, and then I was lucky enough to meet us who were patrolling. Ioni and the team members followed Lady Teresa's pace, and at the same time complained to the other party about what she had wanted to complain about before.
"The professor you saved is from the most famous university of the cradle of investigators, and the nature of that university is somewhat peculiar, and there are many investigators in the Kingdom of Heaven who have studied there for a period of time in the past." Teresa spoke to Ioni about the secret that no one knew.
"Angels of Heaven go to Addisi's university to study abroad!?" George and Nina, who followed from the side, looked shocked.
"Don't be too surprised, the two academies of heaven are only relatively independent of the world, at some point, the two academies will also be open to the outside world for academic exchanges, exchange students are also in the kingdom of heaven, and Eden also encourages scholar-type angels to actively exchange academic issues with the outside world, so every year more or less angels study abroad in major academic institutions in Terra.
In fact, if it weren't for the influence of [Purism] within the world, the two heavenly chambers would have become the top thaumaturgical and scientific exchange platforms in all of Terra. Moreover, not all angels come from both houses, His Excellency Abraham graduated from the Deer Academy, and then returned to Heaven after experiencing the war of interpretation, and became the fourth sword-bearer in Heaven in one fell swoop. ”
Teresa smiled and talked to her subordinates and "students", she graduated from the [Sowers College], which has many scholar-type angels, so her attitude towards [purificationism] is relatively rational, and they are relatively supportive and optimistic about the establishment of the Authority.
While chatting, Angel Quan had already arrived at the Bonifacio coast with the A6 team.
"This is..." Nina in the team looked at the terrifying scene on the coastline, her heartbeat couldn't help but start to accelerate, her breathing became a little short, and cold sweat began to ooze from her palms.
The beach is inhabited by countless deep divers who were once those terrifying aliens that came out of nowhere. At the moment they were just piles of cold corpses, washed up all over the golden sand.
On their bodies, deep scars and blood stains make people shudder.
Not far away, the sea mixed with their crimson blood, creating a hazy blood-red sea.
There was a pungent, almost suffocating smell of blood in the air. The smell was not the usual smell of blood, but one so strong that it could touch the heart, as if the whole space had been soaked in the smell and turned crimson. As we got closer, the smell became stronger, and each breath felt like swallowing a clotted ball of blood.
The ground was slippery, and viscous blood and other unidentified fluids seemed to be felt with every step.
There is a feeling of wetness under your feet, a slimy sound with every step, and a trail of blood every time the soles of your feet leave the ground, just like a scene from a horror movie. The pungent smell in the air began to corrode people's facial features, as if the strong smell of blood was trying to penetrate into the nostrils and mouth, making people feel sick, there was a feeling of being blocked in the throat, and the stomach was tumbling, and there was a strong desire to vomit, to expel the disgusting feeling from the body.
"These divers are dead, as if they have been torn apart by some giant object..."
Ioni looked around in astonishment, how much power was needed to smash these deep divers into this form, and create the power of the scene in front of them, was beyond the reach of ordinary thaumaturgy.
Look at the blood-colored scene in front of you, these creatures, once full of ferocity and mutation, are now lifeless bodies; Their bodies are in a variety of postures, some of them seem to have experienced extreme pain and struggle before they die, their limbs bent, their mouths wide open, and their sharp teeth exposed, as if they were roaring at their last despair; Some bodies are relatively intact, but they seem to have been robbed of their lives in an instant without warning, and their eyes still retain that horror and incomprehension.
The skin of those deep divers took on an eerie blue-black hue in the sunlight, and it seemed to reflect the mutations of their lives and the aura of not belonging to this world.
The earth was dyed red, the blood of the deep divers, mixed with the earth, with a strange viscosity.
"When a deep diver dies, or should it be said, most of these abominations are left untreated, and if left untreated, their corpses spread a special kind of contamination that causes the infected to feel the call of the stars."
Teresa looked at the hordes of deep diver corpses with a blank expression, [Adam] had already told the rest of the Corsican containment chamber to come and take care of them, and she had just seen the hordes of sanitation trucks coming this way.
"These are all killed by His Excellency Abraham alone, this is too fierce..."
George swallowed his saliva and muttered subconsciously, but before he could finish his sentence, he was quickly interrupted by his own boss.
"Let's go, don't think too much, we have to cooperate with Lord Abraham to complete the investigation of the Kalki Mountains." Ioni glared at George, who immediately realized that something was wrong, and he subconsciously glanced at Lady Teresa.
Ms. Teresa smiled and said nothing.
Although the fourth sword-wielder of the Kingdom of Heaven has returned from studying abroad, through the scene in front of him, he can see that he is permeated with the purest traditional flavor of the Kingdom of Heaven - the traditional aesthetics of violence.
Soon, the four of them saw the familiar figure on the edge of a cliff, and the other party seemed to be talking to himself, and when they got closer, Ioni and the others vaguely saw that the blonde young man seemed to have a beautiful "little doll" on his shoulder.
The long hair was as deep as the violets in the night, the eyes shimmered with a deep purple, the face was beautiful, the skin was like delicate ivory, and the contours were delicate and soft.
Not sure why.
When Nina's gaze rested on the little doll, it was difficult for her to take her eyes off, and the uneasiness in her body seemed to have stabilized, and the horror hidden in her heart suddenly calmed down, like a ship adrift in the wind and rain finally found a harbor.
As if sensing something, the keychain-like doll looked back at Nina, and when her gaze met that of Nina, she found the terrible blood and divine contamination hidden deep in the other's body, and the poignant memories reflected in the other's pupils.
So, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her eyes revealed warmth and understanding, as if her smile was a gentle light that illuminated everything around her.
Her purple hair fluttered gently and seemed to brighten up as her smile bloomed.
Something poured into Nina's body, smoothing the haunting of the terrible nightmares that had been in her dreams day and night.
"Nina, Sister Nina... Why are you crying, are you okay? ”
George's voice sounded in Nina's ears, waking her up from her trance, she subconsciously stretched out her right hand to stroke her cheek, I don't know when, her eyes flowed hot tears.
Lady Teresa and Ioni also cast concerned glances at her, and Teresa went out of her way to find out the mind detection device to see if Nina had relapsed from her old illness.
"Strange, how did I cry, no, I'm fine, I'm just, I'm just..." Facing the concern of her companions, Nina opened her mouth and hurriedly responded, her eyes subconsciously looked at the shoulder of the fourth sword-wielder in the heavenly kingdom again, only to find that the figure that was originally on his shoulder disappeared.
"You're here."
Xia Xiu walked over from a distance at this time, his golden eyes looked at Nina thoughtfully, and then looked at Teresa, the head of the Corsican Authority.
"I've cleared all of the temporary hazards of the deep divers, and it is estimated that their next landing will take a long time, just enough time for me to investigate the remains of the Kalki Mountains, and during my investigation, you can use some of your manpower from the mountains to maintain stability on Corsica."
"Understood." Teresa replied respectfully.
Xia Xiu's gaze quickly turned to the cramped Ioni trio, and he smiled kindly at the captain, Ioni.
"Meet again, you should keep all the fifty builders' mechanical armaments."
"Yes, Lord Abraham, if you need it, I will now give it back to you..." Ioni immediately replied.
"No, that thing doesn't work for me, keep it for yourself if you want, and remember to report it to [Adam]. In this way, if the machinery is damaged in the future, it can be repaired at public expense, and you can't support these machinery alone. ”
Xia Xiu interrupted Ioni, he didn't need those drones now, the floating unit of [Metatron] was much more powerful than these drones.
"Let's go, take me to the Kalki Mountains."
