In the darkness of the deep sea, huge monsters like a combination of an octopus and a starfish swam towards the ship as swiftly as an arrow from a string, and its huge body looked particularly threatening underwater.

Soon, the first one approached the ship, and it stretched out its tentacles, which were long and flexible, covered with suction cups and sharp tentacles.

They stretched out in the water, as if searching for prey, and their eyes were cold and malevolent, shimmering with a palpitating light that revealed an ominous aura, and it stretched out its terrifying tentacles to try to shatter the ship.

Just as the tentacles of this terrifying creature were about to touch the ship, the appearance of the [Nautilus] was suddenly covered with a layer of mysterious light.

『Shattering Tinder: Structure——』

"Armed Template [Beast] Octopus - Automata Flurry!"

Countless overlapping and intertwined blocks of azure color covered the entire [Nautilus].

These patches of color burn at the bottom of the sea, emitting a shocking glow, like an exotic light in the depths of the ocean.

With the appearance of these flames, the surface of the ship began to emit a strange mechanical deformation sound.

The voice was deep and powerful, as if to signal the awakening of some powerful force.

Qiang Qiang Qiang –

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical sounds, steampunk-style mechanical arms are instantly generated from the surface of the ship, each section of these mechanical arms is made of fine copper and steel, and the surface is carved with intricate gears and detailed decorations, glittering with the glory of the industrial age. The arms are lined with pipes and steam nozzles, and when they move, steam can be seen spewing out of these tiny vents, accompanied by a slight hissing sound.

When the first giant sea monster approached, the mechanical arms sprang into action.

They rushed forward with incredible speed and power, clinging to the monster's tentacles.

Click-

Each joint of the robotic arm works flexibly, and its strength allows them to easily tear the monster's tentacles to pieces.

The sea was stained blood red, and it was the blood that flowed from the monster's body. The blood-colored liquid spread through the seawater, creating a disturbing red cloud. The octopus monster's body is torn apart, and its organs and limbs drift in the deep sea.

The muscles and internal organs were exposed to the seawater, and it was a primitive and savage sight.

Puff –

The brass arm made a metallic grinding sound as it tore, accompanied by the smell of steam and grease.

As the first monster was defeated, other monsters that approached pounced.

The mechanical arms responded quickly, waving their armband as if a group of warriors were engaged in a fierce battle underwater.

The movement of these arms is smooth and powerful, and every impact and swing accurately hits the target.

[Nautilus] inside the cockpit.

A virtual control keyboard appeared in front of Xia Xiu, this keyboard was used by him to control the "Doctor Octopus Robotic Arm Demon Modification", and at this moment his hands were tapping wildly on the keyboard.

In order to better the "game experience", he also specially opened the [Triple Crown] and attached a little plug-in to the robotic arm.

Bang Bang -

[↓→P] to [→↓→P] to [←↓→↑P].

The blonde youth's hands frantically tapped on the control buttons he had constructed.

The mechanical arm outside the ship was punching the starfish monsters like a small kalami.

The bodies of these poor monsters had been broken in an unusually brutal way, floating feebly in the water, and the once cold and malicious octopus heads had now lost their luster, leaving only endless emptiness and dead silence.

The surrounding sea water was filled with a rusty smell, which was the smell of blood mixed with seawater.

It's so brutal!

Bazan in the other cabin watched this scene dumbfounded, this kind of one-sided unequaled slaughter is really hard to take people off their eyes.

Boom –

[Positioning has been completed-]

[Start jumping-]

When the robotic arm tore the monster close to it in half with incredible strength and precision, like tearing through a weak piece of paper, the [Nautilus] completed its initial preparations.

The murky body of water finally enveloped [the nautilus] completely.

The surrounding deep sea began to ripple subtly, as if the water had been stirred up by some invisible force, forming layers of waves. These waves are not ordinary water waves, but like fluctuations between dimensions, heralding the impending cross-border journey.

In the midst of this strange ocean turmoil, the deep blue dimensional gap gradually expanded, as if opening the door to another world.

[Nautilus] slowly moved towards this crevice, and with each vibration of the ship, the surrounding bodies of water seemed to make way for it.

Finally, in a moment that seemed eternal and instantaneous, the ship went completely deep into the deep blue dimensional gap.

With a slight thud, [Nautilus] completely disappeared into the darkness of the deep sea, leaving only a faint ripple of water.

The monsters could only watch the scene with unwilling and bewildered eyes, and they let out a shrill cry full of madness to vent their frustration.

"Squeak Squeak !!!"

*********

In the deep blue dimensional gap, [Nautilus] dived rapidly, and drastic changes occurred within it.

The entire ship seemed to be held tightly by an invisible force, and as the twist and turn in on it, it began to experience an unprecedented shock.

Inside, the lights in the control room flickered violently, and every metal plate of the ship seemed to protest against the sudden change, creaking and rattling to the hiss and roar of mechanical and electronic instruments.

The robotic arm inside the ship is still busy operating in the violent shaking, trying to maintain the stability of the ship.

In the process of twisting and turning, the scene around [Nautilus] becomes blurred and distorted, as if reality itself has been stretched and reshaped.

The exterior viewing window shows a chaotic landscape of colors and light, as if passing through a time and space tunnel full of unknowns.

Boom Boom –

With a low roar, [the nautilus] swayed and ran aground on the surface of a lake.

Originally, it was surrounded by a tranquil and mysterious natural landscape, with mountains surrounding this tranquil water, and the lake mirroring the azure of the sky and the surrounding greenery.

The arrival of [the nautilus] broke the calm of the lake, causing a circle of subtle ripples.

[You have reached Special Designation--2310-1 Anomaly-]

[Cave wall detected—]

[There is an obvious hole in the wall-]

[[Cave Fables Mimu] detected-]

[There is an obvious loophole in the contamination of the Mi mother group——]

[Nautilus Global Agent: Start Searching-]

[No agent node detected-]

[The Comfort Angel Project is flawed and does not need to enter the observer phase-]

[Begins to open the hatch—]

Puff –

With a low, heavy "poof" sound, the ship's steam valve was slowly pushed open, releasing a white cloud of steam. As the steam cleared, the blond-haired and golden-eyed youth climbed out of the interior of the ship, his figure standing particularly handsome in the sunlight.

"Another perfect vehicle experience!"

The blonde youth sighed as he stood on the deck of the ship, and then he looked around, his golden eyes shining with curiosity and exploration of this unknown world.

His hair fluttered slightly in the breeze, and his golden eyes reflected the luster of the lake, looking deep and brilliant.

He took a deep breath of fresh air and felt the natural scent of Callisto, which was unlike any other.

"Whew~"

Xia Xiu raised his hand and put it in front of his forehead, the shadow formed by blocking the sunlight on his palm shrouded his eyes, and he finally looked at the "sun" above his head.

The sun above is false, it is a simulated sun projected through the [aetheric projection method].

This method is the projection method commonly used in the local hub of Terra, as long as you know the coordinates of the sun in the [Aetheric Ocean], you can use it to carry out the aether projection.

[Based on spectral analysis, the sun above is a projection of Terra's overworld-]

[Adam]'s voice sounded in Xia Xiu's mind at the right time.

"It's still Callisto."

[Yes, it's still Callisto, and you can think of the region you're in now as Callisto's local hub or subordinate plane, phase space, or something like that-]

"This hub doesn't look like it was formed naturally, and it doesn't look like it's hanging over the lunar surface of a civilization on the planet because of the three laws of thaumaturgy."

Xia Xiu jumped down from the [Nautilus], and the EVE particles began to operate under his feet, and a common [Water Walking] thaumaturgy was instantly constructed, and he stepped on the water as if he were walking on the ground.

The lake is surrounded by a variety of strange natural phenomena, such as the alteration of the reflectivity of stagnant water in some of the ground depressions, making them visually integrated with the surrounding land.

"This is a man-made hub, according to [Nautilus]'s relay, this was once a project of the Angel of Peace, but depending on the situation, the [cave allegory] here has been broken."

Xia Xiu walked on the lake, and his eyes couldn't help but look at a huge door on the shore with the modern architectural aesthetics of Terra.

Puff –

Just as Xia Xiu strode towards the huge door, another steam valve on the [Nautilus] was also opened.

Bazin, who was a little pale, crawled out of the [nautilus], and it was evident that he seemed to be a little dizzy.

After Bazin came out of the ship, he quickly noticed Xia Xiu, so he adjusted his breathing, and then also learned Xia Xiu's thaumaturgy of [walking on water].

Then he quickly strode in front of the Fourth Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Kingdom.

"You look a little bad, the deep sea hunter is still seasick, shouldn't you." Xia Xiu said to Bazin, who was catching up with him.

Xia Xiu's words made the corners of Bazin's eyes twitch unconsciously, and he could only reply.

"Huh."

At the same time, his heart couldn't help but start to slander.

What do you mean by shouldn't, who drives a boat like you don't want to die!

Thanks to the [Nautilus] frame is strong enough and durable, if you change to an ordinary ship to toss this kid, I'm afraid that it will be tossed into scrap by the other party in a few minutes.

Even if it is not scrapped, I am afraid that it will be transformed into a strange machine by this kid, and the Ice Rambler and the Nautilus are all living examples.

"Now that you're all out, just now, I want to ask, you should be familiar with the things on the front door, right?" Xia Xiu stretched out his index finger and pointed to the picture on the door in front of him.

Hearing this, Bazin subconsciously looked in the direction that the other party was pointing at what he had ignored earlier, and when he saw that thing, he understood why Xia Xiu said that he would be very familiar with that thing.

On the shore of the lake, there is a huge doorway with a sketch of a naked body carved on the door.

This meticulous sketch depicts an idealized male nude, subtly embedded in two overlapping geometric shapes – a circle and a square. The man's limbs are spread and closed, presented in two positions, as if the perfect proportions of the body are captured simultaneously through two different sets of movements.

His arm span and height look equal, creating a symmetrical sum.

The central point of the body is the navel, which happens to be the center of the circle, while the genitals are located in the center of the square.

The sketch of the man with shaggy hair and delicate and detailed features reveals the artist's deep understanding of human anatomy, from the contours of the face to the depiction of the eyes, nose and lips.

His limbs are sleek, and his muscles are both powerful and elegant.

"Anti-Mitsu Lock Painting Vitruvian Man." Bazin unconsciously pronounced the name of the painting.

[Vitruvius], this thing is the anti-Mi lock of the Iberian Academy of Sciences and artificial islands, and its function is to prevent the leakage of Iberian scientific and technical and thaumaturgical knowledge.

"It seems that the person who sent the coordinates to the artificial island and led us here is indeed Pedro Miguelsette."

Xia Xiu brought Bazin, who was still in a state of astonishment, to the painting, which expressed the ideal aesthetics of human proportions and also hinted at the geometric nature of nature and the order of the universe.

Bazin's gaze involuntarily fell on the main body of the painting, while Xia Xiu's gaze fell on a series of numbers on the side of the door and the number in the middle of the door was locked.

There are 7 slots on the digital lock: 32 ■■■■0

There are four slots that are empty, and a miniature [3] is marked on one side, which undoubtedly means that the digital lock has only three chances of trial and error.

And there are many numbers carved on the door, and these numbers are stuck and irregular.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes quickly picked out ten different groups of numbers from the numbers, and quickly summarized the rules of the numbers in his mind.

Soon, he found a pattern.

He picked one of ten sets of numbers: 1210.

In this number, "1" appears 2 times (look at the number 2 shown on the 1st digit).

"2" appears 1 time (look at the number 1 shown in the 2nd digit).

And the "0" appears 1 time (in the 0 position).

So, the number 1210 is like saying, "I have 1 0, 2 1, 1 2, and 0 3." ”
