Chapter 33: The Continent of Illusions
A week after coming to Blue Star for a week, Chen Zhou's family's life began to flourish, and they basically adapted to this world where the technologically advanced population is many times that of Asta.
"But the news in Gotham is getting more and more magical."
A week ago, the style of the news was at least "How many people have been injured by XXX superpowers, and how much economic damage has been caused".
Four days ago, the style of the news was "XXX Super Heroes Emerge and Fight to the Death with the Ice Freaks of the Newtaip Organization".
Three days ago, the news was based on "The Newtai organization has been breached by superheroes, and all the criminals have been moved to the Gotham City prison".
Two days ago, the style of the news was "Mad Scientist Knife Tower's undestroyed work flowed into the black market and caused a crazy robbery, and was auctioned off at a sky-high price by various forces".
A day ago, the style of the news was "Atlantis in the Phantom Continent, is it an evil spirit or a return of magic?" 》。
And today's news is......
"A super-criminal kidnapped the Queen of England's Corgi and forced her to hand over the law so that all of England could become the home of superpowers from all over the world?"
Chen Zhou's eyes were dark, what the hell is this?
If it weren't for the activity of an unknown agent, this plan would have almost succeeded!?
"Corgi?"
Hearing a certain keyword, Spike, the winter wolf in the corner of the living room who had been brought to the blue star by Chen Zhou and turned into a husky with "Transfiguration", raised his head, and his tail began to flick incessantly.
Since coming to Blue Star, he has met many different canine creatures, greatly expanded his social circle that was originally only a winter wolf, and learned a lot of social etiquette in the dog world.
Seeing that Spike began to roll around and wanted to hang out when he heard the word corgi, Chen Zhou somewhat regretted bringing it over.
When you bring it back to Asta in the future, you won't teach those young winter wolves badly, right?
"The genetic characteristics of the Magical Beast population, the camp tendencies are not so easily changed by the external environment...... Yes."
Seeing Spike's happy appearance after turning into a husky, even Jerry is a little unconfident in his judgment.
But it thinks this is a very valuable research direction, what will be the impact and results if you take the winter wolf and the husky hybrid?
Naturally evil magic beasts and dog world psychopaths with 0 aggression, at least the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced......
Lily thinks it might be more reliable to introduce the husky species to Asta if she has the chance.
And Jin Kela, who is responsible for domesticating winter wolves in Daheling, said - huskies with the destructive power of winter wolves? Don't demolish the house and change the territory, right? What a genius idea.
The three of them woke up like a dream, yes, it was terrible.
"Why don't you take the husky to Elysium, maybe it's better suited there?"
It's a pity that Lily doesn't have time to think about the husky and Elysium in the short term.
At Sheriff Freeman's suggestion, the superheroes of District 13 will soon follow an archaeologist to explore the Phantom Continent that has suddenly appeared in the Atlantic Ocean in recent days.
"Atlantis?"
Lily nodded, according to the analysis of many experts in the thirteenth district, the city looming under the satellite really exists, and maybe it hides the heritage of pre-humans and ancient civilizations.
Because of this, institutions of various countries such as District 13, MI7, the KGB, and the Mossad have secretly taken action and gathered in the sunken city.
Naturally, Lily, as a top assistant, was also asked to go, and she was also very curious about the looming underwater city.
"The Legendary ...... of Ancient Civilizations"
Chen Zhou vaguely remembered that there was such a saying in his hometown Earth, and he immediately became interested and decided to buy a ticket to Europe immediately......
……
Atlantis, the legendary island of the Atlantic Ocean near Europe and the Strait of Gibraltar, was an ancient civilization with highly developed technology, but it was destroyed by an unprecedented flood 10,000 years ago in the accounts of ancient Greek philosophers.
Until recently, no tangible evidence of anything related to this civilization has ever been found.
But a few days ago, satellites had observed images of the underwater city that was emerging.
"Sounds like the whole city has moved into another plane."
Jerry, who has seen the world, believes that if this legend is true, the former continent and the current underwater city must have mastered a high degree of magical technology.
A day later, on the open sea outside the Atlantic, Chen Zhou drove the speedboat alone to the coordinates that Lily had revealed to him.
The endless sea and the scenery of the sea and sky made him forget the passage of time for a while.
I also forgot my previous experience of riding a boat and sinking a boat.
But until he came to the top of the Illusory Continent, he had not encountered any accidents.
"Hmph, it's really nonsense to say that I am a boat or something."
Just when Chen Zhou was proud, he saw a private luxury cruise ship approaching him in the distance.
There are quite a few well-dressed celebrities on it, and I don't know why they came to this kind of place.
Just in case, he decisively used illusion to hide himself and the ship's form and sail away.
Ignoring the rich people whose intentions are unknown, they sink into the water with spell effects such as "Dark Vision" and "Heart of the Torrent".
And not long after Chen Zhou entered the water, the invisible speedboat was overturned by the cruise ship that could not see it.
Ignorant of this, he continued to go deeper, and gradually came to a continent floating in the depths of the ocean.
In the deep sea, where sunlight is hard-reaching, schools of brightly colored fish roam the old city, and algae of unknown species emit a faint glow.
Scattered stone abandoned houses sleep on once-beautiful but still dilapidated marble foundations, with regular patterns of bright red of unknown significance displayed on walls, floors, stone monuments, and other objects.
In this quiet, lonely city, there seems to be something strange hidden?
On more than one occasion, Chen Zhou had noticed a rapidly passing humanoid shadow as he walked between abandoned houses, but every time he looked at it, he couldn't see it really.
Rather than the beautiful blue sea, exploring this continent that suddenly appeared in the sea is more like experiencing some kind of horror movie.
"The Simulated Covenant Spirit probably doesn't exist as an object like a city or a continent, and the strange markings in this immersive city seem to have occult significance."
While Jerry was seriously recalling the meaning of these bright red patterns, Chen Zhou also found a lot of strange aquatic products that inhabited abandoned houses, their bodies were almost transparent, and they exuded a little starlight.
Is there such a creature in the Blue Star, the Earth, and the Sea of Asta?
These mysterious creatures also seem to have appeared with Atlantis.
An hour later, Chen Zhou finally achieved nothing.
It is so small for such a vast continent that it is no wonder that people from all over the world and from all walks of life have not been able to unearth much information even if they come to explore a few days in advance.
Unable to endure this boring and slow exploration, he gradually became a little impatient, and decided to use the "daylight technique" to illuminate the dim deep sea around him as if it were day.
