According to information provided by Glolander's intelligence unit, Adam was not dead, but sent a distress signal over a sea surface area in Area Z.

Although the intelligence agents did not know how Adam survived at sea and was able to send out a constant distress signal, they asked Glondelle to agree to Mei Yi's request and sent them to search for Adam. Since the Hella had already suffered very serious damage during yesterday's operation, it was moored in the maintenance area for repairs after it was salvaged.

This time, instead of preparing a battle cruiser to support the movement of the five, they used small ships to carry them to the place of operation.

"That's ......"

As soon as they arrived in the sky above the sea area of Area Z, everyone discovered the clue, after the battle with the sea beast Botu yesterday, there was a huge hole in the place where she sank, which was so huge that the radius was hundreds of meters. And the distress signal comes from within.

"Let's go down, go down and see what's going on inside."

Mei ordered the ship's operators to sink, and the small ship flew under the giant sinkhole.

Rin looked at the scene in front of him, and seemed to be a little worried, and the same reaction of the operatives who accompanied him was, looking at the sea water and fish pouring down from the sinkhole.

"It's so spectacular, how can there be such a spectacle?" Rin let out a heartfelt sigh.

Aiden, on the other hand, stared intently at the scene below the seabed, it was dark, and the light was getting farther and farther away from them, but soon, they saw a strange sight under the seabed—a city, shrouded in the night sky, and the water below the seabed reflected above their heads, and a few bright stars appeared. At this time, the city is brightly lit at night, and schools of fish leap among the high-rise buildings between the cities, like birds in the sky.

"Looks like we're at the bottom, Dr. Aiden, can you go down outside?" Mei asked Aiden.

Aiden looked at the miniature detector in his hand, and saw that the surroundings were no different from the surface conditions, and they were parked on a cliff in the gum of the ocean floor, and the view of the big city in front of them was unobstructed.

"Unbelievable......" The driver also showed an extremely surprised expression, looking at the brightly lit city in front of him.

Everyone stepped off the ship, and found that there was no sea at all, and they could see the sinkhole in the sky, a little far away from them, and from a distance it looked like the moon, a round sphere, glowing with the same white moonlight as the sky when they came.

"It's beautiful." Chela, who was watching this scene, also sighed.

So, the people got on the ship again and came to the entrance of the city, where there was no one and no one at the gate. After getting off the spaceship, I walked into the streets of the city, where the buildings were particularly tall, and the surrounding streets were twice as wide as the regular streets, as if I had arrived in the land of giants.

"You are from outside, and this is the first time you have come to the Holy City of Igle...... Welcome to all of you. ”

In the empty streets, the apparition of a young man appeared, dressed in strange clothes and especially tall, and gradually, more apparitions appeared in the city, and cars kept coming. The man's apparition was a full body taller than them, looming towards them.

"Welcome, new humans."

While everyone was amazed, the man's apparition introduced them to this place, the capital of the "Kingdom of Iglay", the largest kingdom established by the ancient Gamma people, and the man knew why they had come here.

"You've found your companion's signal here, haven't you?"

"How do you know?"

Mei Yi asked the man with some surprise.

After hearing these words, the man laughed, and then said that he had been waiting for them here for a long time, and he was currently a staff member of the "Holy City Immigration Bureau", which was responsible for receiving people from other places.

After leading them through the huge streets and then into the gates of the Authority, Adam was found sitting on a large chair that fit the height of the locals here, seemingly waiting for someone. When he saw Mei Yi and the others coming, he jumped off the bench and hurriedly asked them if they were in any danger when they came here.

"We weren't in any danger...... By the way, Adam, why are you here? Also, what exactly is this place? Mei asked him.

Adam said that after being attacked by Portu yesterday, he fell into the sea and thought he was going to die, but he suddenly found that after sinking for a while, he began to breathe freely and no longer choked, and then he came here.

Although he had been here for almost a day, he didn't feel anything, he wasn't sleepy, he wasn't tired, he wasn't even hungry, so he began to investigate where it was. However, due to the presence of "locals", he also learned some information about this "holy city", including the "gamma people".

The Nagama men have not yet left, and they can only stay here after they have been instructed to go through the formalities at the front counter, or they will be expelled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gamma, we just came to pick someone up." Rin said.

After hearing this, the gamma man showed a puzzled expression and asked:

"Isn't the outside world all corrupted by the 'oracle'? Isn't it safe for you to stay here? Why leave here? ”

When Mei Yi heard the word "oracle", she asked, "What is the 'oracle' you are talking about?" Why do oracles erode your world? ”

So, the gamma male told everything he knew.

During the period when the Gamma people were still alive, there were ten beings called "heavenly saints", who represented the ten virtues of the Gamma people, namely 'hope', 'loyalty', 'tolerance', 'love', 'miracle', 'equality', 'humility', 'temperance', 'righteousness', and 'sacrifice'. However, when the Celestial Sage named "Hope" sent down an "oracle" one day to put all the gamma people to a test, the world had already begun to change.

All kinds of natural disasters, plagues, and monsters with silver light attacked every city of the Gamma, and finally, the homeless Gamma people came to the Holy City, where they sought refuge and asked for forgiveness from the Celestials. At this time, Aiden, who knew about the Gamma people, began to give everyone some popular science knowledge about the ancient Gamma civilization.

"Those ten 'Heavenly Sages' are the ten lawmakers of the ancient Gamma civilization when they were still on Earth, and the 'oracles' in their mouths are what we now call 'Honkai', but the names are different."

So, he continued, the Gamma people at that time had a lot of respect for the lawyers, and they not only worshipped the lawgivers as "heavenly saints", but also received from them a level of technology far beyond the current human civilization on earth. The Gamma and the Gamma lived peacefully with them for a long time before the Celestial Saints descended on the Honkai Mass, and at that time, the Celestial Saints governed their own cities and regarded the Gamma as their own people.

"By the way, have you ever seen the Pope? Today is the day of the pilgrimage, with free food and ransom distribution, do you want me to take you there? The gamma male apparition asked.

At this time, Rin seemed to remember some of the things that Bronya had instructed him yesterday and asked this gamma:

"Sir, excuse me, did you see a giant monster falling near the Holy City or anywhere else yesterday?"

The gamma male paused and shook his head, indicating that the Holy City was very peaceful, and there was no such thing as a giant monster haunt.

"Because the Holy Lord of Advancement is also the last 'Heavenly Saint' of ours here, under its protection, nothing has happened to us."

So, driven by the curiosity of the crowd, the Gamma men led them to the street, and after passing through one after another Gamma style ancient civilization high-rise buildings, they finally saw what the man called the "Heavenly Sage" - it was a huge circular sphere, the whole seemed to be made of mercury, and the mercury flowing from the tail formed a huge "∞" ring on the ground, standing in the center of the circular square of the street.

"That's our Heavenly Sage, worship it with me."

Everyone couldn't believe that this translucent mercury ball was actually the "Heavenly Sage" in the man's mouth, and Rin wanted to call the gamma man back, but when he found that he had just reached out and touched the corner of his clothes, it was like grabbing air, and the moment his hand touched him, he passed through.

"It looks like they're just phantoms."

"But the buildings around are real, and the materials are also materials that have not been seen on earth."

Adam replied to Rin, and the crowd noticed that the inhabitants of the area were worshipping the mercury balls as if Rin were not there. The mercury ball emits a wonderful pale blue glow, as if the residents were delighted by the respect they had for it.

"A rapid increase in the Honkai threshold has been detected."

The detector that Aiden was carrying began to sound an alarm.

When the crowd heard this, they drew their weapons, but there was nothing around but the phantom of the mercury ball and the phantom of the Gamma inhabitants, but the sirens were still ringing. After a few minutes, the enemy did not show up, until the mercury ball floated into the air and disappeared, and the siren did not move.

"It looks like that thing is something like a 'lawyer', but what exactly is a body?" Aiden said with a slight question.

Mei Yi remembered the "Ten Heavenly Sages" she had just learned about, and said, presumably, that was one of the Ten Heavenly Sages, and that the Möbius ring it left on the ground represented "infinity", which was a Heavenly Sage that was not recorded in any ancient documents. The gamma man returned, and Mei decided to put something out of his mouth, although it was an illusion of the people who had passed by, it was a very strange thing to be able to communicate with them normally.

"Guys, I'll take you to taste the local food, please come with me."

When the gamma man was about to take everyone on a tour of the holy city, Mei Yi asked the gamma man:

"What is that lord called to you? We're here for the first time and want to find out. ”

When the Gamma man heard this, he laughed and explained: "That 'Heavenly Sage' is the first of the civilization that we Gamma people are proud of, it represents the progress of Gamma civilization, and it is a guarantee that we can live a life without food and clothing." ”

"Is it the 'Lawgiver'?"

"The Lawgiver? What is the Lawgiver, here, there are only the Heavenly Sages, and there is no Lawr. ”

Seeing that Aiden remembered something, Mei Yi hurriedly asked him, "Dr. Aiden, do you remember anything?" ”

Therefore, Aiden explained that in the ancient civilization of the Gamma people, in addition to the ten kinds of existences that caused the Great Collapse, there was also a completely artificial "Heavenly Sage" born from the civilization of the Gamma people, which was completely man-made, which did not exist in the Ten Heavenly Sages, and had nothing to do with the Honkai civilization, but - the artificial lawgiver was not created by the Gamma people, and even had some connection with the "Extraterrestrial Man Civilization" of the alien civilization.

"The Law of Advancement, the last Heavenly Sage recorded in the ancient gamma literature, because of its protection, the civilization of the Gamma people will be able to leave some traces in the end."

"However, until now, scholars of ancient civilizations are not very clear, whether the Advance Lawgiver wants to protect the Gamma people, or the civilization built by the Gamma people?"

After Aiden finished speaking, the gamma man also joined the conversation of everyone, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he caused everyone's surprise:

"Anyway, our Gamma civilization has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years, if it weren't for the Heavenly Sage Lord to protect us, it is estimated that the whole picture of the Holy City would not be known to future generations, right?"

With that, he smiled and replied nonchalantly, as if he knew his current situation.

"Do you know you're dead?" Rin shouted at him as if she had learned something.

The gamma man smiled and replied, "Yes, I am already dead, and what is in front of your eyes is just a phantom, and it is estimated that the act of introducing this place to future generations is only self-moving." ”

"Then why don't you let us go?"

"It's so dangerous out there, might it be better to stay here and continue to live? After all, the Holy City was built for this. ”

Seeing that the gamma man was so sincere, everyone didn't know what to answer for a while, after all, what he said was true, after the Honkai Era, the rest of the world's population was less than 40% of what it was before, and more died in the Great Avalanche.

"Then, please go through the formalities and follow me, after all, you are the proof of the continuation of our civilization."

Seeing that the gamma man was so persistent, everyone had no choice but to discuss the matter of getting information from him, and by the way, investigate this place to see if there was any information that could be brought back.

The most interested is Aiden, a scientist, although he knows some information about the Gamma people from his peers, but it is also his dream to observe the largest holy city in the Gamma civilization up close. Even if the holy city here is just a model, he doesn't care, if he can know some things about the gamma, then it will be a treasure for him, and he can also know how great the level of civilization the gamma people created during that time.

After completing the immigration formalities according to the gamma man, the gamma man led them to a restaurant, but instead of ordering, the man sat there quietly and remembered something.

"Well, sir, we don't know what you call it?" Rin was the first to speak, breaking the deadlock of silence.

"Ah...... Sorry, it's rude, but my name is Sotu Hada, and it's a new name for you new humans, right? But for us Gamma people, Sotu is a good name, and in Ruyin, 'Sotu' means 'messenger of the sky'. ”

So, the man introduced the current situation of the Gamma people, most of the Gamma compatriots have now left the earth, and the civilization left behind by the Heavenly Sage has gone to the far side of the moon, and some have gone to Europa, and those who remain on the earth have basically been wiped out. Then, Sotu said that he was happy to see a new human for the first time, so he was much happier than usual, even though he already knew that meeting them was fate.

"So, then, Mr. Sotu, we still have something to do, and since my team has been found, we have decided to go back, so we won't bother you."

After hearing this, Sotu sighed, had no choice but to give up, and said:

"In that case, please take care of yourself, I know that keeping you here is wishful thinking, and no one is interested in something that has been lost for tens of thousands of years, so I hope you don't forget what we once existed."

Seeing that Sotu seemed a little sad, and Sotu also knew that he was just a phantom of the Gamma people in the world, so he didn't keep everyone anymore, and after pushing open the tall door of the store and leaving, everyone decided to leave here from the place where they had just entered.

"Dr. Aiden, will the map still work?"

"Sorry, it didn't work."

At this time, the navigator didn't know what exactly this place was, and there was only darkness above the instrument, so everyone decided to go back to the store to find Suotu, and let him take everyone back to the place where they had just entered the city.

As a result, when I went back to the store, there were still a lot of people sitting there, but now it is empty.

"Now we're trapped, alas." Aiden sighed and sat down on a high stool in the store.

Mei Yi motioned for the team to stabilize and think about the road before coming back just now.

"Captain Mei." Shizuru, who hadn't spoken since just now, suddenly spoke. "I can remember the way I went to the immigration bureau just now, so let's go there first."

Although everyone had been there not long ago, the streets of this place were wide and frighteningly wide, nearly twice as wide as the usual roads in the city of Maitreya, and it was inevitable to get lost in order to find a way back in such an unfamiliar place without navigation.

However, not long after they walked out of the store, they noticed that not far from the central circular square, everyone was still worshipping the mercury sphere, just like what had just happened.

"Welcome to the Holy City of Igley, you must be lost."

It was a familiar voice again, and after the worship ceremony was over, the apparitions appeared again, and it was Sotu again, and he found everyone as if it had been programmed.

"Wasn't Mr. Sotu in the store just now?"

"What's in the store? Also, do you know my name? ”

It seems that his memory has been set by the program, and it has been cleared, back to the beginning.

However, there is one thing that has not changed, and that is to find Rin and his party and take them on a tour of the Holy City of Iglai, even if they appear in different places, the apparition of Sotu can find them with unmistakable accuracy.

"We're getting out of here, please lead the way."

"Are you leaving so soon? And it's so dangerous outside, so it's safer for you to stay here. ”

Still the same familiar rhetoric, Sotu still persuades you to stay in the Holy City.

Rin thought that this was not the way to go, although they had received Adam's distress signal, but if this continued, they would get lost here with Adam.

"If the distress signal can be received...... Why can't navigation? Aiden seemed to have something in mind. Captain Mei, please send a request to the Mandate of Heaven HQ for a geo-scan so we can get out. ”

I have to say that Aiden, as a scientist, is really fast, and he has figured out a way to take everyone out based on the distress signal sent by Adam before.

"Why didn't I think of that? It's good that you're here, otherwise how would we people want to get this solution? Rin complimented Aiden.

Aiden, on the other hand, didn't say much, but shrugged his shoulders, saying that it was not a difficult thing for him.

At this moment, a young woman wearing a white robe came from the other side of the street, and under the close cover of the white robe, she showed a faint beige hair color, and her face looked like a young and beautiful girl. She was only about one meter six tall, and her appearance was not the same as that of a tall phantom, and she was slowly walking towards them.

"It seems that this ruin is relatively well preserved, and Knight Captain Kiana is right."

The muttering words that came out of her mouth seemed to be heard by everyone, and seeing that there were other people here besides her, she immediately became vigilant and stopped walking towards them.

"Wait, who are you? Why is it here? The girl asked solemnly.

Realizing that the girl was an entity, not an illusion, the crowd became vigilant.

"We're lost here, are you?"

"Almost, this ruin is quite large, and it is not easy to get out."

Just as Rin was communicating with the girl, Mei noticed the words "Kiana Knight Chief" in the girl's mouth, so she walked up. When the girl saw Mei Yi coming towards her, she took off her robe, revealing a white, dressed like a magic robe, with transparent water balls in her hands, and put on a battle posture.

"I heard you say just now, who is your chief knight...... Kiana? ”

"Yes, Knight Chief Kiana, what, do you know her?" The girl still didn't let go of the condensed water balloon in her hand.

Mei Yi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "Is your knight chief white-haired, and then not very tall?" ”

"yes? What's wrong? ”

"Is it a woman with blue eyes?"

"That's right."

"Can you take me to her?"

Mei Yi anxiously said that she wanted to take her to see Kiana, this request caused a sudden reaction from the girl, and she picked up a water balloon in her right hand and flew straight towards Mei Yi. The girl shot out a water balloon and hit the knife that Mei Yi had just reacted to pull out, and with a "click", the water ball exploded like a glass ball, and the split pieces cut Mei Yi's face.

"I don't know what your intentions are, just a new human, and it's not a member of my clan, why should I take you to the chief knight?"

Seeing that the girl was about to fight, Rin pulled out Hypernetus, summoned the flying blade, and attacked the girl, but the girl waved her backhand, two huge walls of water glass, firmly controlled the flying blade, and then manipulated the water body, forming a solid spear, and threw it towards Rin.

I saw her open her mouth and say:

"I don't have time to mess around with you here, and, this lady, if you want to see the Chief, no matter what your intentions are, I won't let you go to see her without the Captain's orders."

The girl saw Rin manipulating Hypernetus and rushed up, so she took a few steps back, and a solid splash of water controlled her feet, and then Rin found that she was surrounded by a solid splash.

Seeing this, Shizuru also wanted to help, so she pulled out her weapon with Mei Yi and rushed forward, but the girl still looked calm.

"C912G62C, Holy Engraving, 'Blue Cannon', Liberation!"

With the girl's order, the water molecules in the surrounding air began to come active, and the room temperature water knife condensed into a solid one fell from the sky like a diamond flying blade.

"Be careful!"

Mei Yi hurriedly gathered her spiritual power and exploded a thunder barrier above her and Jingliu to resist the girl's fierce attack.

Akia and Chera on the side also hurriedly entered the store to avoid the attack, because Akia was still cowardly and did not dare to help, she hugged her floating cannon tightly, for fear that she would make a move.

Aiden, on the other hand, turned into a group of crows, lurking in the shadows between the buildings, and when the attack after the diamond rain was over, he manipulated the crows to surround the girl.

"Ugh."

A purple laser beam was released from the crow's mouth, hitting the water shield that had condensed as soon as the girl reacted.

"Get out of here!"

The girl shouted loudly and blew the water shield open, and the violent explosion affected all the crows, and Aiden saw that he could not hold on, so he condensed back into human form, half-crouched on the ground, and spat blood.

"Dr. Aiden!"

Seeing this, Mei Yi swung out a knife, and a thunder struck the girl, and the girl saw that Mei Yi in front of her could manipulate thunder and lightning, so she wanted to subconsciously withdraw the water shield, but she was hit by a thunderbolt and was hit hard.

"Hmm...... Ahem......"

The girl spat black smoke from her mouth, unable to hold on to her abilities, so she released her restraints on Rin and fell to the ground unsteadily.

"It seems that she can manipulate water to form solids to attack, what is her origin?" Rin asked.

Seeing that the girl had lost consciousness, Mei Yi picked her up and came to the house for treatment.

After Akia had treated Aiden's injuries, she picked up a syringe and injected the girl with a thick, pale green drug.

"After the bile serum injection, it should be fine...... bar. Akia said with some trepidation.

Just now, Chela and Akia were busy dodging the diamond rain falling from the girl, so they didn't have time to help, this time the five of them teamed up to deal with the girl alone, thanks to the thunder and lightning that Mei used in time to penetrate the water shield, she was able to subdue her perfectly.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the girl woke up from a coma and saw that the person who took care of her was Mei Yi, and she was also startled and shrank to the wall.

"I'm sorry I just shot at you, but you have to believe that we are not the ones who want to harm you."

While the girl calms down, she introduces her identity.

Her name is Freya Slatos, and she is a gamma who came to the ruins to collect information on the orders of the chief knight Kiana, but she met Mei and her party.

Although the ruins belonged to their gamma people, however, because the ruins were too large, Freya, who came alone on a mission, also got lost here, turning east and west and not finding an exit.

"Wait a minute, aren't the Gamma people extinct? Are you really a gamma? Aiden asked her in surprise.

Freya, on the other hand, replied with disdain:

"What? New humans, how did I end up here if the gamma people became extinct? Speak with your brains. ”

"Just now we met an ancient Gamma Man here, and he told us that the descendants of the Gamma Man have all left the earth."

"yes. I came to Earth with my companions some time ago, and if we can get the inheritance of the Heavenly Saint here, we can rebuild the Holy City of Igley and return to our hometown. ”

Freya also said that they had originally founded the Gamma New City in the Lightless Sea on the far side of the moon, and that she was also the second daughter of the Gamma Paladin's family for generations, the eldest lady of the "Slatos" family.

Kiana was also found by their Gamma on the far side of the moon, and after taking Kiana back to the Gamma City, he also took care of her for a long time, and finally she accepted the "gift" of the Pope, got the Holy Inscription, and served as a knight in the Paladin Army.

"You went back to Earth because you knew you could find things from the past here, right?" Mei continued to ask her.

Freya also replied unabashedly: "Yes, at least that's what the Pope said, and, if we can find it, we can live again." ”

It seems that Freya is very much looking forward to the prospect of this "great cause", and, as a new gamma, it is her lifelong dream to come back to live.

"In that case, there is no contradiction between us, since we are all lost, then we can do something for you, but you also have to tell us some information, can you accept this deal?"

Aiden thought he could get some more valuable information from her, so he proposed.

This proposal also made Mei Yi, Shizuru and others feel very good, after all, they haven't seen Kiana for too long, and they are very happy to know that she is still alive.

I don't know how she's doing, Mei Yi thought so at this time.

So, with Freya's cooperation, everyone decided to continue their journey to the ancient ruins of the holy city of Igle, and it was necessary to find the whereabouts of Freya's "ancient heritage".

However, just as she was about to leave, Freya focused on Rin, who was talking to Akia about something.

"Wait, can I take a look at your elbow?"

Before Rin could react, Freya grabbed her right hand and looked carefully at what was above Rin's right elbow.

"It's a little weathered, but it's still a little ......," Freya saw something. 'Orphan', honestly, how did you get to Earth? ”
