Through the message from the [Nautilus], Xia Xiu quickly understood what the role of [Cave Fable] was.

In short, [Allegory of the Cave] is a collective cognitive manipulation of the Mother that is capable of affecting all inhabitants of a given area at a given time, recognized only by an outside observer and protected from being distorted by pollution.

Its core technology and principle is to form a huge [cognitive barrier] on the target through the Mimu group developed by 0-13, and these barriers will wrap the target like a cave, and everyone's cognition will be fixed in one place, they can't turn their heads, they can only see one wall of the cave.

The entrance to the cave was behind them, but they never saw the world outside the cave.

There was a flame behind these people, and between them and the flame there was a path with a low wall.

The road is the path to the truth, the flame is the interactive message channel, and the wall is the fixed cognitive barrier.

The cave operators never show up or preach, they just cast the shadows of the message on the cave walls through the flames, and the fixed people can only see these shadows for the rest of their lives, so they think that these shadows are reality, real objects.

Those within the walls will always only be able to see the truth that the cave owner wants them to see, and only those who perceive the deception will be able to walk that way, beyond the influence of the barriers.

Walking out into the outside world, he will initially be blinded by the sun, but gradually, he will see a more real and beautiful world.

But, he's going to go crazy.

He could have endured the darkness if he had not seen the sun, yet the sun had made his desolation a renewed desolation.

When he returns to the cave and tells the others the truth of what he has seen, the others will not believe him and even laugh at him, because all they know is the world of shadows, only the world inside the cave walls.

In the end, he will be defeated by nothingness.

This is Judith Iscarho's "Angel of Comfort".

Knowledge of a concept, object, or entity is anomalously erased from the memory of the affected species, and [Angels of Comfort] can only be identified by outside observers who have not been exposed to the effects of the Mi Mother Swarm.

Through [Allegory of the Cave], Heaven will be able to perform [Mass Logical Castration], [Reinforced Cognitive Barriers], [Cluster Memory Distortion], [Mass Amnestic].

Individuals affected by [Cave Fables] retain their memories when interacting with forgotten objects, but their brains are unable to construct contextual knowledge about them.

As a result, even if the affected person is able to recall events related to the forgotten concept, these memories become fragmented, lacking in logic and coherence - and these forgotten things can be basic science, advanced mathematics, thaumaturgy, aetheric observation, even the discipline of history, literature...

Not only do memories of forgotten concepts become blurry and difficult to describe, but affected individuals often experience intense counter-intuitive and psychological discomfort when trying to recall the details of the events in question.

This memory loss is long-term persistent and self-sustaining, and even if the affected person is reexposed to the concept, they will forget about it again immediately after the topic shifts.

Through the above acts, the kingdom of heaven will complete the euthanasia of a certain attack on civilization.

Mental death is more terrible than physical death.

This is the Kingdom of Heaven's Angel of Comfort, and the Allegory of the Cave is just one of the developments of this project.

"When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you..."

After reading all the messages related to the Angel of Peace, the fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Like, really TMD like.

This agnosticism, this cosmic terrorism, this pollution of the intellect, this distortion of cognition, this supernatural perspective of observation·····

As long as you reverse the words of human beings facing the gods in the past, it will be even more special.

The Kingdom of Heaven (gods) has unimaginable powers, beyond the comprehension of cave civilizations (humans), and its existence and actions are often beyond the comprehension of cave civilizations (humans).

In the face of the gods (gods), the cave civilization (humans) will be small and meaningless, and they will face the fear and despair of unknown and unknowable horrors.

In the face of the Heavenly Kingdom (gods), the psychology and perception of cave civilizations (humans) are full of limitations, and how fragile and inadequate their sanity and common sense are in the face of the supernatural phenomena created by the Heavenly Kingdom (gods).

Once the positions are reversed, justice will also show its fangs!

Those who fight the devil should be careful not to become the devil. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.

In a way, the kingdom of heaven is no different from the four monarchs, from the stars, and from the gods.

The easiest way to defeat the devil is to become a stronger or more evil devil, and the most intuitive way to stare into the abyss is not to fall into the abyss.

That's why the Red King said, "Take your kingdom of heaven and destroy the world with us, you have everything in the new world."

Heaven is just a reason for madness that Heaven is different from them—Heaven needs a reason, and they don't.

But what is the difference between their image in the outside world and the abyss?

"How many have we recycled so far?" Xia Xiu took a deep breath and asked [Adam].

[Judith Iscariot was responsible for the initial Angel of Comfort, a very star-colored polluting technique that was not very approved by the Ethics Committee at first, but due to the more inhumane political claims of the various factions of the Heavenly Kingdom at the time, the secret jurisdiction project was finally approved; However, this may only be a phase of development, as it is not documented in the database.

The second phase of the follow-up of the Angel of Happiness project, the third phase of the research and development project Eden have indirect participation, after the rebellion of the Messiah, these have been forcibly recycled by the Eden and Supreme procedures, because the cost of risk control management of the project is too high, once there is a mistake, [Angel of Peace] may affect the entire world.

At that time, other departments in the Kingdom of Heaven were very interested in [Angel of Peace], and they thought that the [Crystal Heaven] above Terra was a bit similar to the Angel of Tranquility in a sense, but because of the particularity within Terra and the existence of the Kingdom of Heaven, the existence of [Crystal Heaven] was slightly embarrassing.

However, the direction developed by other departments is different from that developed by Judith, and the angels on the right want to be able to treat the aliens in a more peaceful way, so they want to create an existence similar to [Crystal Heaven]; The angels on the right advocate the creation of a permanent, insurmountable shielding field to deploy on the surface of hostile civilizations, but the project is not suitable for inclusion in the research and development sequence of the Heavenly Project with the current technical level and social environment, so it was included in the scrapping case by Eden——]

"Then they are going to have to wait a little longer, and my [gospel project] is not finished yet." Xia Xiu complained casually.

The engineering projects of the Kingdom of Heaven are all big projects, and there are only a few places given by Eden every year, which is still to remove the maintenance and annual development costs of [space-based projects].

Moreover, since the establishment of the Honkai Authority, there has been another big resource eater in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The extraordinarily high welfare system of so many [executives] in the world relies on the extraordinarily high welfare system of Eden's father.

No money, you still want to save the world!?

"Set a new record for the recovery of the first phase of the Angel of Anle. However, before recycling, I need to investigate according to the phase coordinate parameters recorded above. ”

[LOG BEGINS-]

At this moment, Xia Xiu began to control the robotic arms like Doctor Octopus behind him, allowing them to quickly debug various complex parameters.

He found several fixed coordinates on the [Nautilus] as well as some anomalies of the ship.

It was precisely because of these anomalies that Xia Xiu did not directly use the data fire to turn the [Nautilus] into his own shape, he was afraid that if his fire burned, the engineering data and anomalies that had been debugged inside the ship would be deleted and reset immediately.

[The parameters have been debugged——]

[Coming Soon—]

[10··· 9··· 7···]

"I'd like to see what related deeds this country of fog can continue to drag out like a carrot."

Xia Xiu held the ship's manual controls.

During this strange trip to the Land of the Sea of Fog, he always felt that the water hidden inside was very deep, and he would not be surprised at all if any strange alien species civilization was found in the next investigation.

[··· 3··· 2··· 1！ ]

[Start the dive-]

[Nautilus Hint: The ship has a depth transfer anomaly, when submerged in a certain depth of water, the ship will be surrounded by a rapidly turbid body of water, and then teleported to a parallel reality location, in the process of transfer, the Nautilus will cross the boundaries of ordinary physical space and enter a different dimension of reality——]

This is the depth ship used to carry [Allegory of the Cave] due to its anomalous properties that provide a specific junction point.

Therefore, it is naturally used as a tool to circumvent the wall.

As long as [Nautilus] retains its anomalous properties as a node, it will not be affected by [Cave Fable].

[Start a deep dive-]

[Diving...

[External pressure: 31 bar]

[Hull Condition: Cabin Pressure Normal]

[Depth: 120··· 200··· 300···]

In the deep blue waters, [Nautilus] dives slowly.

Its exterior is filled with steampunk brass pipes and gears, the ship's shell is made of smooth and sturdy alloy, its surface is carved with delicate and intricate patterns, every copper seam and decoration is meticulously crafted, and the windows are made of reinforced glass.

In the control room, light is reflected on the instruments and screens, and the copper décor is complemented by illuminated electronic screens, creating an atmosphere of futurism and retroism.

[Depth: 500 meters-]

Boom Boom –

When the depth reached 500 meters, the ship began to shake wildly uncontrollably.

The surrounding environment began to undergo strange changes, and the water began to become extremely turbid, as if an invisible force was brewing in the water, gradually surrounding the ship.

The deep-sea waters around the ship suddenly became turbulent, and circles of water rippled silently, forming layers of waves. These waves are different from ordinary ocean waves, they seem to be slow, but in fact they contain great power, as if they are driven by some unknown energy, and are quietly changing the nature of the ocean.

In this incredible water movement, the ship's lights captured some anomalies.

Deep blue dimensional cracks began to appear underwater, like a rift between the real world and another dimension, shimmering with an eerie and fascinating light. These gaps gradually widen, as if to show the ship the entrance to another dimension.

These dimensional gaps slowly twist and stretch in the water, and the surrounding currents seem to be drawn into it, creating a bizarre visual effect.

The ship seems to be being sucked into an unknown and mysterious realm, each flicker revealing information and existence beyond the norm to the explorer.

[Coordinate point detected: *&#@......%]

[There is a correction phenomenon at the coordinate point——]

[The path is extremely unstable—]

[Yes/No to continue diving?] ]

The ship's internal instruments began to sound alarms, and various sensors captured unprecedented data.

Xia Xiu's choice without hesitation was that there was a correction in the coordinates, which meant that [Nautilus] was indeed not performing engineering tasks in Ganymede before, but someone got [Nautilus] to Callisto in the future, and he had already guessed who this person was.

"Go on."

[Keep diving!] ]

[Nautilus] received the order of the fourth sword-wielder in the kingdom of heaven, and began to continue diving at the risk of coordinates.

Boom Boom –

At this moment, the interior of the ship began to shake violently as if it had been grasped by a huge palm.

Sirens echoed through the narrow metal hallways, and the lights in the control room flickered on and off in the vibrations.

The robotic arm scrambled to operate the console, trying to stabilize the ship as it tossed in the depths. The hull of the ship creaked, as if in protest against the relentless violence of the deep sea.

"Damn, what's going on!"

Inside the other cabin of [Nautilus], Bazin clung to the mechanical handrail next to him, trying to stabilize his body as it swayed violently.

The sound of alarms echoed in the ears, and the tense atmosphere was almost palpable.

He peered through the reinforced glass window of the ship's control room at the raging and chaotic ocean outside.

In this frenzy of the seabed, those dimensional rifts seem to have become dark portals to an unknown and terrifying world.

From these chasms, terrifying sea creatures begin to crawl out, and their appearance is like a nightmare in the abyss, bringing with it suffocating fear.

They have huge bodies that are tens of meters long, their skin takes on a dark blue to black hue with silver-gray markings, a quintangle body, their heads resemble those of a giant prehistoric octopus, and they have a pair of large, penetrating eyes that glow underwater, like a lighthouse in the deep sea. Their mouths are huge and surrounded by countless wiggling tentacles, each covered with suckers and sharp barbs.

These gigantic creatures, with their terrifying bodies and incredible speed, swam towards the [Nautilus] at a rapid pace.

"It's... Sea Monsters!? ”

Bazin's pupils contracted sharply as his gaze fell on the monsters that had crawled out of the abyss, and his gaze was locked on every movement of these horrible creatures.

That's right, these monsters are almost exactly the same as the monster that attacked the artificial base, except that they are much smaller than the hundred-meter-tall sea monster, and their volume is only 10~20 meters.
