Chapter 278: A New Enemy (Subscription Requested)
The earth is shaking, and the sapient machines and humans who once ruled the galaxy together have become enemies, and the war between the two sides has spread to the entire galaxy.
Even the planet where Android City is located is not immune, and when the piercing siren sounds, a dense crowd of warships appears in low-earth orbit.
The magnificent buildings in the Android City emitted a dazzling light, and the bright beams of light towards the sky formed layers of shields, like an upside-down transparent bowl, protecting the entire Android City.
Those terrible weapons that should only be controlled by the gods appeared in this war that ordinary people could not understand, and one after another burning beams of light fell from the sky, extremely thick, some even reaching several kilometers in diameter, and when they fell, the entire sky was lit up, as if the end of the apocalypse had arrived. The meandering plasma stream creeped wildly through the air, like a giant snake rushing to the ground, bursting with intense light when it came into contact with the shield.
There were also all kinds of physical weapons, all of which rained down, and the violent explosion made the entire sky glow.
It was night at this time, but it was also brighter than day by the strong light from countless explosions, and there was no end in sight to the scorching fire clouds, and space and time were disturbed by frenzied attacks, shaking the vast land and those magnificent buildings.
It was a time of madness, a time of madness and chaos, the beginning of a broken civilization.
Dante and Wingate witnessed this amazing war, which in the history books is described in all kinds of words to describe its terrible and cruel side, but only after seeing it with their own eyes will they realize how powerless the description of the words is, this war has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
A civil war that has a chance to ascend to the higher levels of the race, fighting it with weapons more terrible than the gods in mythology, the stars are extinguished, and one world after another is shattered.
But they don't have time to sigh, those intelligent machines and humans are fighting a battle of life and death, and they also have their own wars to fight.
The horrible time worms were still chasing them, their massive size falling within Andro City, crawling swiftly down the massive buildings and viaducts towards them.
The two wars are strangely intertwined, but they remain unaffected by each other, because one belongs to the past and the other belongs to the future.
Machines whose fate has been altered by the invasion of the Time Worm will occasionally react to these invading monsters, but will soon be forgotten.
In a way, the creatures of this era are like NPCs in the game, and they can only act according to their previous choices, and they can only make new choices unless they are given new time.
The escape to the command center is very thrilling, and the tentacles of those time worms can be killed by the tentacles of those time worms, but luckily the buildings of Android City are much stronger than those of the ruin city, and even the time worms with their large size cannot destroy them, so they can only constantly climb back between the tall buildings or climb over them.
The two eventually made it safely to the command center, but they were also blocked by those time worms again.
The time worm surrounded the two of them, and an inexplicable halo and fluctuation escaped from their bodies, preventing them from continuing to use time to escape, and those huge eyes were full of hatred and the expectation of imminent revenge.
"What should we do next?" Dante looked at Wingate, "Do you want to make another cut with your dagger?" ”
"We've got to get rid of them." Wingate looked at these behemoths, holding a pocket watch in one hand and a dagger in the other, and said with a wheez, fleeing all the way, even if there is a battle armor, it is a huge drain on physical strength.
"Here?"
"Yes."
"Just the two of us?"
"Do you think there is anyone else? There isn't even a human on this planet. ”
The air currents set off by the explosion turned into wind blowing on Dante's face, giving him a messy feeling!!
"If the two of us can solve them, will we have to run that far? Did you run for a few days just to find a better place to die? ”
"We can't kill them, but there's something we can." Wingate lowered his voice and said, "The most powerful thing about the Time Worm race is that they can travel time, but they are not invincible, and skills like Time Traveling are not something that can be used casually. ”
"What's the use of saying this!! We can't beat them? "Dante activates the Enma Blade and prepares for a desperate fight to be loyal to the Emperor.
"Of course it works, because that's the key to dealing with them." Wingate looked at Dante, and under the gaze of the other party, he pressed a button on the pocket watch in his hand, and a colorful light spread in all directions around his pocket watch.
The sapient robots that had turned a blind eye to them and the Time Worms were given a new choice at this moment, and they looked at these sudden intruders with red eyes.
In their cognition, these guys didn't exist one second, and the next they suddenly appeared. It's as if the illusory world has been torn apart, revealing the reality inside.
[Warning, intruder.] 】
[Warning, intruder.] 】
A noisy siren sounded, echoing through the vast city, and the sapient machines immediately raised their weapons and fired at Time Worm and Wingate, so frightened that the two of them quickly hid in a bunker.
The Time Worms were the first to strike back at the machines, wielding huge tentacles to roll them up, and then throwing them all away, with extremely rough movements.
For a moment, the intelligent machines were no match for them, and they were beaten to pieces, and the wreckage of fire and engine oil was scattered everywhere.
A black mist of red light poured out of the command tower, heading straight for the behemoths. The black mist was fast, they wrapped around the time worms, and then these behemoths were gnawed and devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing bones and entrails, and finally even these were gnawed away.
The Time Worms let out a wail of pain, and they tried to resist, but this was Android City, the territory of the Robots, and the most heavily defended core area. If the Time Worm escapes, then the Wisdom Machine is not worthy of being called the strongest creation of mankind.
The time worms have no chance to escape, the attacks of the intelligent machines are extremely fast, and those tumbling black fogs have the ability to devour everything, even the time worms with the power of time will be devoured and consumed.
"And so they died??" Dante witnessed the process of the time worm swarm being slaughtered by the intelligent machine, and his heart was slightly shocked, is this the intelligent machine created by the ancestors of mankind in the past!! Crushing these giant beasts is as simple as eating and drinking, and it is completely effortless, "What is the thing you just released??" Why are those robots suddenly attacking those big guys? ”
"What I released just now is a time stream, which allows the Wisdom Machines to obtain a short, twenty-four hour time stream that will pull them into our battlefield. Those black fogs are countless nanoworms, all of them are made of special materials, which can devour everything in reality, matter, energy, etc., can be eaten, and they are the guardians of the main control core. These time worms are very weak, and they can't be the opponents of nanoworms, which is why I chose this place as a battlefield, as long as the time stream is released, those time worms will be besieged to death by the intelligent machine. Let's go, if we don't want to be eaten like those time worms, we'll have to hurry up. ”
Wingate took out his dagger and slashed it in the air, and a glowing crack appeared, and he entered the crack with Dante. By the time the robot rushed over, the back of the bunker was empty, and the two humans from before were nowhere to be found.
The robots conducted a carpet search of the neighborhood, but found nothing, and wanted to expand the search, but this matter did not last long, it was diluted little by little, and the world returned to its original state, because the flow of time released by the pocket watch is not infinite.
If you have time, you will have a future, and the flow of time will give a new future to those intelligent machines, and when the flow of time is exhausted, the future will disappear, and those things that are affected will no longer have a new future. Everything is back to its original place, running according to the choices and destiny that have been made.
Following the Aether Current, Wingate and Dante crossed time and space to a black city built on the edge of a cliff.
The Time Worm didn't chase after it, and the entire race was killed in the city by Wingate, and it is estimated that none of them survived. The Time Worm is a social animal, although its abilities and living environment are different from those of humans. However, they also have many biological habits, such as dividing into different groups.
There is no harmony between clans, and there are often fights, so members of another clan will not take revenge on them, and will even occupy their former hunting grounds and expand their own clan.
Wingate and Dante's troubles with being hunted down are over, and they would have just had to follow the journey in a step-by-step manner to reach their destination.
However, in this black city, the unexpected happened, the compass stopped turning, and the aetheric wind disappeared.
Wingate looked at the motionless compass, his face turned pale, he compared the map several times without any mistakes, this should be a node in the journey, how could this be?
"What happened??" Dante noticed Wingate's face.
Wingate's tone was uneasy and apprehensive, "We seem to be lost. ”
"Lost??" Dante's tone was confused, "What does this mean??" ”
"It's a compass that can detect the flow of the aetheric winds." Wingate shook his compass in front of Dante, "With the wind of ether, we can travel through different planes, and now that the wind has stopped, it means that we are trapped here, and there is no way for us to leave this plane." It's like a ship that's run aground, you know? ”
These words made Dante uneasy, "Is there no other way?? ”
"If we don't have the help of the aetheric winds that can cross time and space, there is only one way to reach the future, and that is to live until the future." Wingate looked around, "This should be the end of the Robot War, and we will need to wait more than 10,000 years before we can reach the future. ”
More than 10,000 years!! Just thinking about it already gives you a long feeling of suffocation, and Dante doubts that he will ever survive that long.
He grabbed Wingate's tattered garment, wrapped outside the armor, "You said you wanted to bring me back, I can't survive here for 10,000 years." Things in Cape Town haven't been settled yet, and I have to go back. ”
"I remember what I said, you don't have to stress it." Wingate shook Dante's hand away, "I don't want to stay here until the future, we have to find the reason why the aether wind stops, this node has it many times, there is no problem, even if it is deflected, there will be the aether wind in other directions, but now there is nothing, either this place is suddenly forgotten by time, or someone deliberately blocked our way." ”
Dante glanced at the pocket watch and compass in Wingate's hand, as well as the map, and his gaze became solemn, "Which one do you lean to?" ”
"I'm leaning towards the latter." "Nothing has happened to the city, and there has been no detection of a problem with the time structure here, and if there is a problem with the timing, how do we get here!" The biggest possibility is that something is in the way. ”
"Someone is in our way??" Dante asked, confused.
Wen Gai nodded, looking at the pointer in his hand and pacing back and forth, "You and I are now two different futures, if you can use it well, you can make the timeline of the empire stable." But if it is maliciously obstructed, both sides will collapse, and there will be problems in this period of history. ”
"What happens if something goes wrong?" Dante asked.
"Will die, two different timelines pull, people are torn apart by two timelines like a broken sack." Wingate made a tearing motion, "There may be a lot of people affected, and everyone involved before these two timelines merge together again will die." ”
If Dante were trapped here, everything would have lost its supporting stone from the time of the events in the Cape Town system to the time of Agent 9527's rescue, resulting in a collapse and a tragic accident.
Dante's face also became solemn, and he also realized the danger of this matter, and the slightest mistake would be a terrible catastrophe.
"Let's go separately and check out the city to see if there's anything out of the ordinary." Wingate whispered, "It's impossible for the other party to leave no trace. ”
Dante nodded and agreed to the other party's proposal, they must not sit still, they must find clues, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and then embark on a new journey, return to their original point in time, and complete their unfinished tasks.
The city had endured terrible war, and the buildings were black because the walls were blackened by the radiation that escaped from the bombing.
Wingate walked through the alleys of the city, and the natives wandered with pale faces, like the walking dead, looking numb.
After observation, Wingate found that they were all implanted with virtual devices in the back of their heads, and they all lived in the virtual world, and what they saw was a beautified reality, not this world that had been devastated by war.
A bustling and beautiful city, clean and tidy streets, buildings that look like works of art, delicious and abundant food, instead of living in a hell full of radiation and only eating nourishing paste.
The brutal war of intelligence and machine consumed their mental strength, making them unable to face the cruel world anymore, and chose to paralyze themselves.
Wingate didn't mean to ridicule them, only some sympathy, and he traveled through many places to see how cruel the war between the sapient machines and humans really was.
Those weapons possess immeasurable power, the entire planet is ignited, the stars are sliced open, and it becomes a halo that winds for hundreds of millions of kilometers, the entire galaxy is shattered, the corpses are innumerable, and all kinds of terrible weapons have erased the body, mind, and soul of living beings. Their power is more exaggerated than many myths, and in such a war, individuals are so small that they can be wiped out in the aftermath of an attack.
Living in such a world, who can have the courage to face reality?
Wingate eventually reached the edge of the city and walked to the edge of the cliff, which he realized at this time that it might not have existed in the first place, it was one of the products of the war.
Some terrible sapient artifact had bitten off half of the city, and after scanning it once, Wingate found that not only half of the city, but a part of the world had been bitten off.
If you look down the cliff, you can see tumbling clouds of steam, and in the depths, there is a red glow, and if you look closely, you can see the faint glow of the magma lava, and the entire core of the planet is exposed.
Wingate could imagine that kind of scene, a huge devouring machine biting half the world like an egg yolk pie, and the magma flowing out like a burst egg yolk, how desperate it was for the humans living in this world, who had no power to fight back in this war, and could not even control their own fate.
All courage, all courage, is meaningless talk in the face of that absolute power.
Wingate looked at the suspected bite marks on the cliff, much like the drill of some kind of industrial machine, which had bitten a large piece of the planet, swallowed it into a furnace within itself, and transformed it into usable materials to further strengthen itself.
"Where is the problem!!" Wingate said to himself, "I've been fine so many times before, why is this happening this time!!" ”
Wingate looked at the cliff with a confused expression, he couldn't figure out where the problem was!! How could the wind of aether suddenly stop!!
At this time, Dante's voice came to his ears.
"Wingate, you should probably come over here and take a look, I see the problem."
A prompt popped up inside his helmet, indicating that he had received a new message. Click on it and see that it is a highlighted coordinate.
"Dante, do you really see the pointer turn??"
Wingate's tone was joyful and excited, but Dante did not reply. He didn't suspect that there was any fraud in it, but rushed directly towards the coordinates.
On the other side, Dante is also lounging, holding a compass given to him by Time Agent 9527, looking for a place to turn it.
But all the way down, the pointer seemed to be welded to death, he wanted to ask about the situation on the side of Time 9527, turned on the communicator, but found that there was an extremely noisy sound coming from inside, it was impossible to communicate at all, it seemed that something was interfering with the quality of communication.
Dante looked at the jammed communication and clicked on the scanner directly, their military instruments dare not say that they are the most advanced, but they are definitely the most reliable, even if they encounter attacks specifically targeting electronic machinery such as EMP, there will be no problems.
The results of the scan soon appeared, a red dot appeared in the city map, then a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth, and the red dots increased one by one, and soon the entire scanning interface was filled.
Dante's face suddenly became ugly, and a strong uneasiness welled up in his heart.
