Chapter 774: Invisible Force
"Elevator." Shang Luo made a decision, "We will go back from wherever we come from." Now that rumbling safety is not an issue, we can evacuate. But there's something here, and it's tempting."
He looked at the prophet Alto, wanting some answer from his eyes. Shang Luo wanted to know what was the hidden power here that overrode everything. If you can turn back by the way, not only will you not lose money this time, but you will also make money.
If you can "raid" this layer, then of course, the people who have lost here can also come back naturally.
"What answer do you want?" He looked at Shang Luo, "Perhaps, you didn't actually plan to stay here in the first place. If you can't find anything to gain, do you want to evacuate now? What will you do if you lose your men here? β
"All I can say is, I'm sorry." Shang Luo shook his head, "I didn't come alone. I carry the expectations of many people. My brothers, my friends, and many of my fathers and fellow villagers whom I have never met are waiting for me to return. I can't spoil righteousness because I care about the kindness of a thought. β
"Even if it makes your conscience uneasy?"
"That's all I can do." Shang Luo replied, "I know Mr. Marcus who was trapped here just now, and I know him well. The first time we met, it was by accident. I'm sorry that I might have to say goodbye to him in such an accident. He could have been my bodyguard, living in the flower pots on my patio, and we could have come out from time to time to play a game - all of which I felt very sorry for. However, my conscience does not matter at all. My personal feelings, too, are not that important. Being alive is the most important thing. β
"It seems unlikely." Shang Luo replied, "As far as I know, we are using more powerful weapons of mass destruction, and the power of Heaven and Earth Datong is far from what he can achieve by relying on uranium enrichment. As for the hydrogen bomb, it's hard to say, I can't give an accurate estimate. β
β.β Prophet Otto was silent for a while, "Perhaps, you will be well along with us. You have an instinctive sense of reason, and you know how to choose in order for greater justice to be achieved. That's how the Guardians do it. In that case, I'd like to share some of our information. You want to know if there is an invisible force behind him that pushes all this and brews the gods, don't you? β
"We haven't figured out the exact source yet. The creator of this power seems to have hid himself well. His power is subtle, but it is also more powerfulβwe find that the three worlds that progressed in layers were based on Pompey the Younger's personal vision. β
Shang Luo nodded; "That's our judgment at the moment. After all, the power here suppressed the magic of the Romans from the level of the gods. Is there any principle to all this? β
"Probably, it won't work out." Shang Luo pondered for a moment, "Even if he really lets the 'Colombian Automata Country' be established in front of us, I'm afraid the strength of this country is not enough." It's simply not enough to see. It is true that Colombia will not collapse at the touch of a button, but we can wipe it out with just conventional forces, even if we don't use the ultimate weapon. Perhaps we don't need to interfere with this, and the Romans themselves can clean the portal. After all, the Romans had magic. β
"Hmm," Shang Luo nodded, "Precious information." β
"Is this guy crazy?"
"He's only three." Alto replied, "After all, this is only half of the Roman Empire, and there are only three of them. He wasn't a starfish, the starfish had been cut into many pieces, each of which could still be restored to the shape of a starfish. But he can only cut three times. Although there are already quite a few, no more will come out. β

"It's already three floors, isn't it? Will there be more? β
"You mean, the world that exists in the automata is his Plan B? That's what I came across."
"According to the description, it is likely that you are indeed encountering Pompey himself, not some imitation. It's just that in that Plan B he somehow made himself an automaton as well. I can't describe it as a 'ascension' because I haven't seen the prospect of such a route yet. But at the very least, it should greatly enhance his personal strength, and at least it is unlikely that he will be arrested in his bed like he is today. So, can this be successful? β
"When you say 'this guy,' you first have to make sure which little Pompey you're talking about. The one at the top, he probably didn't know much about all this. And in the Colombia of the automata, he may have only glimpsed the corner of that power; And here, he really began to embrace the invisible power. So, the degree of his madness is in increasing order. β
Until now, after the decomposition of the "wolf on the ground", the situation here is initially clear.
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"It's like going to Plan B after Plan A fails, and Plan B goes to Plan C after it fails β he wants to win the Roman Civil War. What if his nuclear bomb fails? I want to start by asking you, is it possible for him to succeed? β
"Then Plan A looks bound to fail, and the stupid little Pompey has not yet been able to anticipate this. But if we imagine the future β we don't even need to imagine it, we think about the present. Now Pompey the Younger is being seized. What would he do if he was given a second chance? He might take a Plan B. β
Driven by some invisible force that has yet to be revealed, Pompey Jr.'s ambitions are twisted into the "Colombian automaton nation", and thus the place of silence. If the upper two layers still retain some sanity, then in this layer, everyone just acts like shadows, obeying the orders of the same will like cells. And this will itself seems to be unwise, and even the fact that the police will run away will be simulated.
"I think there's something wrong." Shang Luo touched his chin, "I always feel that there is some invisible darkness that is constantly devouring this place. Again and again Pompey the Younger twisted his own wishes, introducing invisible forces again and again. If he continues like this, sooner or later he will sacrifice everything, including himself. I don't know who he's sacrificing to, and I don't want to know. Now I just want to go home. β
