Chapter 26: Bugs
"Behold, I will cause a flood upon the earth to destroy the whole earth, and every living creature that has flesh and breath on the earth will not die."
"But I will make a covenant with you, and you will enter into the ark with your wife, and with your sons, and with your sons' wives."
- The Book of Genesis
——
Leodro kept his head down, not daring to listen to the conversation between the two gods around him—for if he heard anything, he felt like he would die. He was just an ordinary angel now.
Gao Wei didn't have so many scruples, he just smiled softly: "Of course it will, this is an agreement between us." Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to help you build an ark that could fit all of humanity. ”
The high-dimensional overlook has a different way of thinking.
Guarding the outside of this planet are the ten most powerful outer gods, even if you look at the entire universe, they are the most powerful, and there is not even a single old day on earth.
Despite the eternal darkness that can become the "fourth pillar", the appearance of the One of Time and Space often symbolizes the destruction of the entire universe, which can only be used as a deterrent at best—under normal circumstances.
Although the real creator is now advancing in the direction of "half a old day" and "half a pillar", and Klein is also in the final competition with Amon for the Lord of Mystery, the goddess of the night has already contained a small half of the "River of Eternal Darkness" and is in the final competition with the "Eternal Darkness" in the dream realm.
However, under the siege of the ten outer gods, once the barrier is broken, even if there are two pillar-level gods on the earth, it will be difficult to protect the human beings on the entire earth. If the High Dimensional Seeker wants to reshape the entire universe, he will certainly not throw the essentia from the earth into the universe to give the outer gods too much opportunity to react.
His awakening of the true Creator and his support of Klein in becoming a mystery were all paid in advance by Him for the present thing.
And now that He is a true God who has three ways on earth—and now four ways—He has the power to destroy the true Creator and Klein's mental state and bring God and the mystery back.
Again, this is just a deterrent, but it's useful enough.
And in such a situation, what do they need to do to save the whole earth?
The answer is simple, and that is to transfer most of the material and civilization on the planet.
Aside from being eroded by essentia seals, the western continent and now I don't know what state, the three continents in the southeast, north and south, can be transferred to a safe place under the power of the "gate".
Or to put it another way, the high dimensions of the owners of the "Perfect" and "Hermits" are ready to forge these three continents into a complete ark, a giant structure that can exist in the universe for a long time.
―Noah's Ark.
Originally, the real creator did not expect this day, although he was once the mythical creature closest to God in this century, but the minds of scientists in the old days still flowed into his brain, and the lack of the ability of the door also made it difficult for him to completely peel off and create such a wonderful star.
Here's what the Higher-Dimensional Lookdown says to the true Creator:
"You see, this planet is all that is left of it - which other in this solar system is not devoured by an outer god? Even if it is the sun, it shines with the authority of the sun. ”
Now the planet's sun, that real star, has long since turned into ashes shattered in the aftermath of the power of the outer gods.
After a brief silence, the True Creator stated that the plan of the High-Dimensional Overlooking Viewer could be executed, and although the "space giant" did not sound like the style of the world, it was one of the simplest solutions that could be accomplished.
The Inquisitor, who can modify the rules of the world, can increase the power of reality. And in such a situation, the reality becomes more solid.
The "Perfect" and "Hermits" who belong to the "Wilderness of Knowledge" are able to calculate the most suitable model, so that the world can remain intact even after passing through the power of the "Gate" and transferring it to a safe place.
And the "dreamer" who got it in the end...... It can make the high-dimensional overlooking person imagine a kingdom that will become a huge shell that envelops the entire earth.
After that, only the kingdom of true gods or evil gods remained, and the Western Continent, which was alone floating in this realm, sealed with many essentia substances.
The reason why the true Creator wants to surrender the uniqueness of the "visionary" to the higher ones is because he fears that when he returns from the sea of chaos, he will become God again.
This time He could no longer bear the time of resurrection after death.
And then, even if it is really the worst situation to face, the high-dimensional seeker will still be able to protect the true Creator's dependents and believers.
He decided to take on his destiny and go to the "dwelling place of God" to face God. Unlike the previous situation when he walked out of the Chaos Sea and the original will was greatly revived, the True Creator carefully did not accommodate any superfluous paths this time, but first accommodated the entire Chaos Sea and then slowly accommodated the remaining uniqueness.
And as for where to transfer the ark?
Now Klein is looking, although Klein himself is unaware of the plan to forge an ark between the High Dimension and the true Creator. But everything he records now, the hidden passages that go unnoticed by the outer gods, will become a space for human existence in the future.
Even he, a "pathfinder", didn't know what kind of mission he was shouldering, and it was even more difficult for the outer gods to find the space for humans to finally escape.
……
Crane walked through the sand, his eyes already on the iron-black fortress - nay, if I had to describe it in more accurate words, it was a magnificent fortress.
It's a spectacle that is impossible to see on Earth.
Countless scars and traces of wind and sand wear silently watched the yellow sand in the distance on the outside of the fortress, and Crane gently pushed the metal gate of the fortress, pressing the gate down with a palm print, but did not push the door in the slightest.
Or maybe the door has long been welded shut, as if to protect the last survivors of the fortress.
"You can enter it from the spirit realm." Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun kindly reminded, but was glared back by Klein, and suddenly looked a little aggrieved.
Klein divined whether there would be any danger in entering the spirit realm - of course he did not use the Source Castle - and after receiving a revelation that it was not dangerous, he entered the spirit world.
This is the spiritual realm on this planet, due to the lack of occultism, Crane feels that this spiritual realm area is extra small, and his eyes gleam like stars, locating his location in the fortress of the real world.
And the next moment, he appeared in the fortress.
Quiet, dead quiet.
Crane looked around him left and right, and the decoration in the iron-black fortress was not so monotonous. In the middle of the fort hung several shabby-looking flags with an eagle painted on them, if that was one.
"You're lucky this time, the natives of this planet should all be in human form. Ha, I'm curious, if you come here, all you see are weird-looking creatures. What would you do to them? Will you help them or destroy them? ”
“…… I can't save the entire universe, but as long as it's a rational being, I'll guide them to the stars for the time being. Klein said, "I'm not going to think about it now, I'm thinking too much." Tianzun, I'm just digesting my own potion. ”
"Also, your biggest enemy is me, and I still put too much pressure on you." Tianzun smiled, and his tone was full of indifference:
"Go ahead, Zhou Mingrui, I'm looking forward to your first contact."
Crane walked forward.
The extraordinary nature of the Fraudulent Mentor and Decryptor Scholar allows him to basically ignore all the obstacles and passwords along the way, and walk straight to the place where the life reaction is located.
The sights he saw along the way were indeed completely different from those on Earth, but the iron-black background made people feel unstoppably oppressive.
Klein walked to a door, he slowly pushed it open, and saw a person sitting on a screen with a bunch of lines, he stared intently at the screen, as if he was watching something.
It was a very old man in a whitish military uniform.
"Hello." Klein used the star worm in his body to convey a gentle, unpolluted will that was transmitted to the old man's brain. A thin gray mist covered his face.
"Are you ......" a clear light flashed in the old man's eyes. He looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist in front of him, and was a little surprised: "You haven't evacuated yet?" There are no survivors left in this place - the mother worm has already built a nest here. ”
Klein was silent for a moment, and as the old man turned to look at him, he had already stolen all the memories in the old man's mind for a moment, and he saw how the people of this planet had fallen into this place of no return:
A worm that has no mind and only knows how to give birth has been blessed by the "Fallen Mother Goddess".
Then the protracted war began.
With the help of her own gifts, the "mother worm" continues to empty the life on this planet and begins to create endless nests, its thinking is chaotic and crazy, similar to the sea god Kavituva in sequence three.
It began to multiply without any scruples, waging an eternal war against the humans it regarded as food.
The sequence of extraordinary traits on this planet is only up to sequence seven, and most of the remaining extraordinary traits are distributed in the bodies of various creatures in a more fragmented way.
It is the leader of this world who holds this extraordinary trait - this precious extraordinary trait is passed down from generation to generation by the leaders, and the trait that each leader precipitates after death will be directly swallowed by the next one, so that the leaders who can survive each generation have far beyond ordinary thinking ability and the madness that comes with it.
That's a "detective" trait, and leaders who have acquired the extraordinary traits that have been passed down from generation to generation tend to gradually fall into madness, they don't know how to play it, they don't know how to digest. None of the "Blasphemous Slates" could help them summarize their pathways, so they could only forcibly swallow the properties of Sequence Seven and resist the insane invasion of their own will.
In this war between humans and bugs, resources are constantly being consumed, and humans destroy the mother's defenses with nuclear bombs and the most powerful weapons they can make, but the mother worms always leave before these weapons are added.
It seemed to possess an ability to be a prophet of the unknown, and every time it was able to avoid the traps that humans had painstakingly wove - but Crane knew it was just a spiritual warning.
Then the life of the forest is emptied, and the sea is filled with bugs. Pollution has not killed the most powerful "mother worm", but has compressed the area where humans live again and again.
In the end, humanity will no longer dare to unleash these polluting and destructive weapons. The offspring born of the Mother Worm were resistant to these weapons, and they began to weave their own armies, filling their defenses with human lives and guns.
Because they can't build a nuclear bomb.
They built fortresses to fend off the Worm Sea, but every time the Mother Worm appeared, their fortresses fell. Weeds and decay will grow in the shell of the fortress, and the painstakingly constructed defenses will always crumble under the attack of the worm mother, and the soldiers and people will go crazy at the sight of this terrible monster.
They could only retreat, waiting for the mother worm to die—but the monster was immortal, greedily devouring all life, trying to turn the entire human race upside down.
After that, it took another five years for the humans of this world to figure out how to evade the attack of the Mother Worm, and every time the Mother Worm forged a nest of its own that would only blindly produce offspring, it would appear on the battlefield and destroy the fortress that once symbolized hope.
Then, the sea of worms rushed up.
Now, the lair on the edge of the fortress has been forged by this divine monster, the old man is the owner of the fortress, and he stays here - because the only thing that attracts the mother worm is life, he has prepared the explosives, and when the mother mother appears, he will detonate the entire fortress.
He wants to buy precious time for the survivors who are being evacuated behind him.
With a roar, a large, misshapen monster appeared on the outside of the fortress, and Crane watched as the monster advanced, braving the sand.
After that, it began to dig its elongated mouthparts deep into the interior of the fortress, where it sucked out the "life".
The old man struggled to move, and he wanted to press the "self-destruct" button - but Crane sighed:
“…… Your woes are over. ”
He glanced at the "worm mother", and the "worm mother" collapsed into small, starry worms.
All the "Mother Worm" received was the gift of the Sequence 4 "Ancient Alchemist", and a Sequence 4 demigod on Earth would not even have time to destroy a city before he would be killed by the Church's Extraordinary.
However, this small divinity alone is enough to drag this world without extraordinary characteristics into the eternal abyss.
It's just a bug.
The mysterious worldview is inexplicably suitable for writing about the universe, although the squid did not write, but if there is really life in the starry sky, then such a demigod monster can often destroy a civilization.
Although according to the COC's setting, nuclear bombs can even kill gods - but there are such things as "spiritual realm" and "spiritual warning", and the army is basically unable to confront demigods without "reality enhancement, extraordinary weakening".
Attached is the ritual of the "Ancient Alchemist": to refine a stone of life by himself.
