The stars have returned to their positions, the stars have left their positions, the stars are moving leisurely in the sky, they shine coldly on the world, completely unaware that there was once a large group of mortals who were busy with their feet in the sky under their guidance, and in the end they achieved nothing. .
The ancient gods have not returned, and the predicted day of judgment has not arrived, although everything that happened before has perfectly confirmed those prophecies - such as the huge waves in the endless sea, For example, the special energy fluctuations released by "Ao" under the influence of the stars, such as the frequent whispers of gods - but other than that, the crucial last step, the step where the Storm Lord wakes up from the deep sea, did not happen. .
The Lord of Storms is the only god left in the world. If he fails to awaken, there will be no day of judgment.
Everything seems to have become a joke, but the "chief culprits" who contributed to this embarrassing situation, the "God Eaters" in the deep sea, have no idea about all this.
In the depths of the endless sea, which is blocked by storms all year round, the ancient sea monster city "Antavien" stands quietly at the place where it crash-landed. It is slightly tilted and embedded in a piece of land close to the land. On the rocky seabed, part of the city reaches the "Great Trench", while the other part gradually rises along the seabed until about one-tenth of it reaches the surface of the sea, resting on the piece of land called "Ai" by the sirens. The land edge of the "European continent" and formed a spectacular steel city wall on the coastline.
The sirens are indeed used to living in the deep sea, but on this planet with a large landmass, they have gradually learned how to survive on land - of course they will not live on land like humans. A large city was built, but in order to exploit resources and monitor the situation of the "Jump Engine", they built a series of outposts and strongholds on the western coastline of the Io continent, and the largest of them was located at the "Steel City Wall" Directly opposite the "Coastal Cape", from the observation tower of this stronghold, you can directly overlook two-thirds of the entire "Steel City Wall". It is an important monitoring post here.
The "Steel City Wall" is actually Antavien's stern protection wall. During the earth-shattering emergency landing countless years ago, Antavien plummeted from the atmosphere. The technicians tried their best to Only with great efforts did the starship, which had almost lost all power, slightly adjust its falling posture. In the end, the ship passed the edge of the land at a thrilling angle, directly sending about a quarter of the land into the continent. Deep sea, and the starship itself slid into the sea along the continental shelf after being severely damaged, eventually forming the current situation with one end close to the trench and the other end resting on the edge of the continent.
The bow structure was almost completely destroyed in the process, but the stern was preserved intact. This is the greatest luck. At least the jump engine, which has the most complex structure and is the most difficult to repair, has been preserved. Come down.
But the Krakens soon discovered that even if the engine was in good condition, they could not get the spacecraft to take off again - let alone take off, even the most common machinery and equipment on the spacecraft were there. fieldIt became unable to operate after the disaster, and it took a long time for them to figure out that this was a "fault" caused by different laws of physics.
From that day on, the Sirens have been working hard to learn and adapt to the rules of this world. They seem to have returned to the first moment when the lights of civilization were lit, and they have to adjust their life forms to adapt to this world - - But they soon discovered that this kind of "starting over" would take more than one.
This world is constantly shuffling...
But it doesn't matter, the development of civilization is not always smooth sailing, and the Kraken are used to this difficult situation in development.
Petia, the Siren Queen, arrived at "Cape Marina". She stood on the tall watchtower and looked at the steel city wall on the coastline, and the energy pipelines on the steel city wall were lighting up one by one. Starting——The core fusion tower has started to activate.
Taking advantage of this "explosion" of giant squids, the Krakens collected enough engine fuel in advance, and the re-ignition of the core engine was carried out smoothly, but the technicians were not optimistic about this ignition. Too much hope, because they still haven't solved several key problems in the process of magic conversion, but Petia doesn't care about these.
Ignition failures no longer happen once or twice. All Krakens are accustomed to this, and Petia knows very well that even if ignition fails, the technicians can collect valuable technical information from this process. ——These experiences and the natural laws summarized based on experience are the most precious wealth.
Sirens are not a very smart species, and they can even be called "slow" at certain times, but patience and optimism are their greatest reliance.
While the core fusion tower was being activated, a siren attendant entered the top floor of the watchtower. Her snake tail snaked and crawled, and she came elegantly behind the queen: "Your Majesty, just now Fanny General Sha reported that a Tide Master named Tier is missing."
"Tyr?" Siren Queen Petia frowned, "I seem to have an impression..."
"It's the child with a strange walking posture..." the attendant replied, "The one who walks like a sea caterpillar."
"Oh, then I remembered, she is always lazy "Yangyang," Pettia turned her head with a surprised look on her face, "She's not sleeping at home?"
"No, she's missing," the attendant said seriously, "We were there last time. After those crazy humans fought, she never appeared again."
Petia shook her head: "Maybe she died and chose the wrong coordinates when she was resurrected. The last battle was very bad. In the chaos, several sisters who died in battle even resurrected in the Southern Ocean and swam for more than a month before returning..."
The attendant sighed: "Even if she swam back from the Southern Ocean, she should have arrived. Unless she came back all the way on the seabed with that weird walking posture, she should still be halfway there."
"Send a search team, centered on the last battlefield. ExpandSearch, and send some more people to check out the crazy human strongholds on the edge of the sea to see if our Tide Master was accidentally caught by those humans... Although this possibility is not high, if it is Tyr, I really can’t tell. "
The attendant bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen. "
Petia nodded. After the attendants retreated, she turned around again and her eyes fell on the winding steel on the coastline in the distance.
At the same time, in the secret temple of the Eternal Sleeper Order in the Typhon Empire, nightmare bishops wearing black or white robes were gathering in the central hall, and a low and solemn atmosphere lingered on everyone. < /p>
"Son of the Storm and the Society of the End of All Things have sent messages respectively. Our allies have suffered varying degrees of losses due to the early launch of the 'Ultimate Plan'," a nightmare bishop spoke, with a loud voice. It was low and cold, “Comparatively speaking, our losses were minimal. "
Another bishop added next to him: "In addition, intelligence came from the observation base set up by the Sons of Storm at sea. They observed an unexplainable phenomenon - the tide has risen, and the power of the gods has been on the sea. The deep sea began to surge, but soon everything calmed down uncharacteristically. "
"So we can't blindly deny the 'prophecy'," the third bishop said. "All the signs are in line with the description of the first half of the prophecy, but there is a slight deviation in the final result, maybe due to some kind of Forces unknown to us have interfered with the fulfillment of the prophecy..."
The voice of the first bishop clearly had a hint of sarcasm: "Who can interfere with the resurrection and return of the gods? "
"The sea area where the Son of the Storm observed the vision is located in the far east sea," the second bishop said immediately, "It is close to the territory of the Kraken. "
"Sirens...those ghosts in the deep sea..." A black-robed bishop who had never spoken suddenly broke the silence, "It is said that they destroyed a place in Son of the Storm last time. The pioneering land..."
"In my opinion, the Sons of the Storm are not trustworthy at all," someone else said. "Perhaps there was something wrong with their observation of the starry sky, which led to this setback for us. ..."
Before the bishop finished speaking, a low, gentle but irresistibly coercive voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "That's enough. "
The bishops immediately closed their mouths in awe. They turned to a certain direction and bowed their heads respectfully: "His Majesty the Pope. ”
A vague black shadow emerged out of thin air at the end of the hall. This vague shadow seemed to scan the people present. Although his face was completely invisible, everyone They all felt that sharp eyes were sweeping over their bodies and souls, and everyone became more and more awed.
The vague black figure said calmly: "Don't forget our cause. -In the face of our career, this is not a setback at all.
"Every time weEveryone has expected this - although the prophecy exists, it is not the only one that guides us. It is just a factor, and whether it will come true or not will not affect our plans.
"Starting the Eternal Dream in advance is just an insurance measure to prevent failure to respond, and we have not gained nothing in the process."
The Eternal Sleeping Pope paused deliberately After a moment, he continued: "The first operation of the Eternal Dream produced a large amount of actual measurement data, which helped us finally improve this huge plan. And I, in the process of observing the Eternal Dream, discovered that it is far beyond The potential and uses of our imagination.”
The bishops stirred slightly and looked at each other, clearly curious about what the Pope was saying.
The Pope did not let the bishops wait too long. He quickly announced his decision, which surprised everyone: "Take a rest for three days. After three days, the eternal dream will restart."
There was a low voice of discussion at the scene, and a bishop immediately reminded: "His Majesty the Pope, there are still many imperfections in the eternal dream..."
"It is only in running state. Only in this way can we get better perfection...and evolution," the Ever-Sleeping Pope interrupted the bishop. "After careful observation, I discovered this, and I also discovered another thing..."
< p>The bishops suddenly fell silent, and they heard the Pope's voice:"I discovered that the huge computing power brought by the eternal dream is the key to deciphering the memory fragments of Gawain Cecil. During the last operation of the Eternal Dream, those memory fragments showed signs of loosening, and they seemed to become parsable.
"Nightmare Bishops, revive yourself, we still have a lot to do. ——Gather your subordinate nodes and prepare to analyze the memory fragments of Gawain Cecil. We must find out what he——is! ”
