Times have changed.
For a "split body of gods" that was separated from its body during the period of counter-tide civilization and was subsequently sealed deep underground together with a set of ancient energy restraint devices, his era Already changed millions of years ago.
However, he was unaware of all this from beginning to end - the stagnant confinement force field, the wrong time sequence, the incomplete external information, and the "stage" that a family had carefully woven for two hundred years, which made him Wrapped in layers.
Until an hour ago, he still believed that this era was a certain period of the Counter-Tide Civilization Era, and that the weird humans and their various countries in this world were what remained after the fall of the Counter-Tide Empire. Mutant survivors.
“You wake up deep underground in Orlandale, and all you see is a group of dark cultists busy around you. They are delirious, act extreme, and have been in contact for many years They didn't find a way to communicate with you at all, and they didn't even realize what your essence was... Then you broke away from the shackles in the Big Bang and the Big Collapse. In an extremely weak state, you couldn't wait to seek the use of mortal minds. Parasitism, so you found my ancestors... You kept a low profile in the collective dream of a family, using your own power to continuously erode and seduce one family member after another to become your nourishment, waiting for your strength to recover and return to the God Realm... …”
Rosetta calmly stared at the empty eye floating in front of her, as if she didn’t feel the huge pressure the other party released on her body. He spoke very slowly, every word Everything is made very clear -
"You seem to be very confident in yourself, as if you have determined that the mortals you parasitize are unable to resist and dare not resist, but have you ever thought about my two hundred years of The ancestor before you, the first Emperor Augustus who was parasitized by you... actually never surrendered to you in his whole life. Even after his death, until he became part of the twilight palace, his will was still in Austria. It has been passed down in the blood of Gusdu's descendants and has been inherited to this day?"
Behind Rosetta, an extremely hazy and dim shadow stood out. It was the most transparent of all shadows. It was even blurred to the point where he couldn't see the outline of the human figure clearly. When he came to Rosetta's side, no details of the facial features could be seen on the transparent face, but there was still a gaze fixed on the Eye of God.
"You...you are the mortal emperor two hundred years ago..." The Eye of God finally broke the silence in anger. With his roar, the stars in the entire space expanded and shrank and squirmed. , "How is this possible?! How could you hide an entire 'era' from me?! How could you know so many of my secrets?!"
Rosetta laughed: "Yes What is impossible? When you choose to be a parasite on a mortal family, you are destined to be no longer a superior god, but just a miserable parasite... You can affect our memories and emotions, weIt can also distort your judgment. We are not the only ones trapped in that palace in eternal dusk - do you think you have not been trapped in a dream in the past two hundred years? ”
“Trapped in a dream…Trapped in a dream…” The Eye of God trembled violently, and the lines whose edges were so disorderly and distorted that they hardly conformed to the laws of geometry seemed to stretch out in all directions out of control, and as He With the continuous erosion of power, the entire secret hall began to take on a transparent, illusory, distorted and layered strange form, "So that's it... That's it... No wonder I didn't notice so many obvious traces for so long... It's done." Very good, you did a great job! ! ”
An invisible impact suddenly erupted with the Eye of God as the center, and His angry words instantly turned into muddy madness that was incomprehensible to human ears and incomprehensible to human intelligence. Roar, the starry sky reflected in the entire secret hall twisted and rotated in an instant, and all the starlight turned into malicious lines and illusions. Layers of roars and pressure surged towards Rosetta Augustus. And among the roars, there was a voice that could barely be distinguished: "Your little tricks are totally meaningless! Mortal minds cannot resist the power of gods - I will parasitize you again, just like two hundred years ago, and this time, you will never be able to retain any free thinking! ”
Rosetta faced the malice and pressure coming towards him head-on. He couldn’t resist and took two steps back, but quickly regained his footing and faced the furious Eye of God. , he even laughed: "You can give it a try - but are you sure you still have the ability to parasitize the mind? "
"This is easy for me..." Eye of God said subconsciously, but the next second he exclaimed in surprise, "How is this..."
"After absorbing so much power from the God of War and being deeply contaminated by all kinds of chaotic divine thinking, do you still think you are the 'God of Dreams'? ," Rosetta's face had turned pale, but his eyes were fuller than ever, "We have spent two hundred years stealing this 'knowledge' from you, but we didn't expect that you yourself are at the key point. But they are completely forgotten all the time... But it is normal. After all, you are not the complete God of Dreams. You are just a split eye of Him. Without the support of the main body and the power of faith, you cannot even be alone. Surviving the real world...what a pathetic shard. "
"What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this? ! "The Eye of God was furious, and countless distorted and malicious starlights shone into the secret hall from some distant dimensions. Although these starlights were weakening and disappearing at a rapid speed, their remaining power seemed to be enough to destroy everything in this hall. Everything - including Rosetta Augustus, including those soul shadows who stood behind Rosetta and accompanied the Eye of God in the dusk palace for two hundred years.
"The complacent look of you mortals makes me sick. Letting you disappear from this world is the last responsibility I must fulfill——Feel honored, you are even qualified to die with the eyes of God! ”
The crazy roar once again turned into the kind of chaotic noise that humans cannot understand. The surrounding starlight has begun to be filled with a scorching touch that can tear apart matter and spirit at the same time. Death is coming, On the contrary, Rosetta Augustus was calmer than ever. He showed a smile, calmly, even slightly sarcastically staring at the Eye of God, whose aura had obviously weakened but was still arrogant, and looked around that eye. The escaping lines became more and more transparent and illusory. He opened his hands, preparing to welcome the shining of distant stars - and at this moment, a strange female voice suddenly broke into his mind -
"Why do Roland's descendants only have this ability to wait for death? "
Rosetta opened her eyes in shock. Just as he was about to find the source of the sound, he suddenly heard a loud sound of a wall exploding from somewhere nearby - and then the surrounding people The starlight phantom was suddenly torn open with a huge crack, and the illusion quickly collapsed around the crack, and the original walls and roof of the secret hall quickly appeared.
The large floor-to-ceiling window facing the west side of the castle and part of the wall were quickly revealed. A gap was opened by some kind of weapon, and the howling cold wind poured into the hall from the gap. A strange-looking Cecil aircraft crashed directly into the secret hall through the gap, with its metal shell, wings and cone. The bottom caused a large amount of sparks on the floor and walls, and it stopped in front of Rosetta like a reckless beast, and the latter... was stunned.
Then he finally saw it clearly. What astonishing details the weird-looking Cecil aircraft had - he saw a "container" with a diameter of more than two meters installed on the base of the inverted cone machine, and there was actually a fresh star soaked in the container. Living brain, in this brief moment, he and the brain were "eye to eye". This should have been a shocking or even terrifying scene, but instead he felt a feeling that came from his heart, as if he was connected by blood. It surged up from nowhere.
The next second, there was another strange buzzing sound inside the aircraft "installed" with the brain, and then some machinery on the surface of the brain and the aircraft. The structure lit up with the brilliance of runes, and the invisible psychic force field unfolded. A long, spider-like limb emerged from the air, and quickly stabbed at the rapidly dissipating body not far away. Eye of God.
Rosetta subconsciously looked in the direction of the limbs, but before he could see what happened next, a blinding white light suddenly filled his eyes. All eyesight.
With a brief and intense dizziness, Rosetta realized that her mind had been invaded. However, this invasion did not give him any sense of crisis - she quickly adapted. After the chaotic feeling of space displacement, the scene in front of him gradually stabilized, and he found that he had arrived at an unusually vast space.
The endless water surface extended infinitely in his field of vision.It is as calm as a mirror; the sky is as clear as water, with thin clouds floating on the azure background, and countless symbols, formulas and mechanical parts that are constantly rotating and reorganizing between the clouds; large and small platforms with unknown purposes Floating on the water in the distance, the platform is shrouded by a vague barrier, and the specific scene above cannot be seen.
This is what Rosetta saw after opening her eyes.
After a moment, he recovered from his surprise and saw that a round table had appeared in front of him. There were several white, simple but elegant high-back chairs placed around the round table. Two figures were standing beside the round table, seemingly waiting for him.
After seeing the appearance of one of the figures clearly, his pupils shrank subconsciously, but the next second his expression became relaxed, even more relaxed than before.
Gawain Cecil - no surprise.
Rosetta stepped towards the round table. His feet stepped on the water, and he could clearly feel that the ground under his feet was not solid, but there was no feeling of sinking at all.
He came to Gawain Cecil, first looked him up and down, and then looked around again, then showed a smile and looked away: "Then, I should call you here Gawain Cecil, or an outsider?"
"It seems that the Eternal Sleeper cultists you recruited have revealed a lot of useful information to you," Gawain smiled and pointed casually. A seat next to the round table, "Sit down, everyone who comes here has a seat."
"Thank you." Rosetta nodded and sat down casually. Exquisite refreshments appeared, and the tea cups were filled by themselves.
Gawain glanced at him in surprise: "You don't look very surprised?"
"There are really too many things in this war against the gods. It's beyond my initial expectations," Rosetta said calmly, "In comparison, the 'Outlander' is at least what I have seen in the intelligence."
He spoke just now. As soon as he fell, a female voice came from another seat next to the round table: "I thought you would say hello to me first - by your generation, has the etiquette situation of the Augustus family been so worrying?"
The woman who spoke was the other figure who had been standing next to Gawain from just now.
Rosetta’s attention was entirely focused on Gawain, the “outside wanderer” who deserved vigilance, so that she didn’t pay attention to the other person at the round table for a while - besides, For a moment, he didn't match the unfamiliar face with anyone he knew in his memory. It wasn't until he heard the other person speak that he suddenly realized that this was what he heard when he faced the Eye of God before. The strange female voice turned her gaze away in surprise.
He saw the other person's appearance clearly and saw that it was an elegant and dignified beautiful lady wearing a light green dress. He recalled it for a while and confirmed that he did not recognize this person, butThen something moved in his heart, and he vaguely noticed something strange - although he didn't know this person, he had seen this face in some places...
The man wearing a green long gown The lady in the skirt frowned slightly: "Why, could it be that you have burned all my portraits?"
Rosetta Augustus finally remembered where her sense of familiarity came from, The other party's face matched up with something in his memory, making his eyes widen in an instant: "You...you are..."
"Look, something will happen here that will make you more excited." What a surprise," Gawain, who was sitting next to him, laughed and said casually as if he was chatting, "Come, drink tea."
Rosetta didn't pay attention to Gawain's words. With the refreshments placed in front of him, he just stared and looked up and down at the woman sitting opposite him, and frowned little by little: "Are you Bertila Augustus?"
"You should add honorifics," the woman said lightly, "At least I didn't ask you to bow here."
"Okay, maybe I should call you 'you'," Rosetta He said calmly, "So, you have indeed lived in some form until now?"
Bertila keenly captured the key words in the other party's words: "'Indeed'... It seems that you What do you know?"
"...The royal family has many ancient records, as well as sporadic investigation records about family members who disappeared mysteriously in history," Rosetta hesitated before continuing. , "In addition, I have some... personal sources of intelligence."
"Well, it's not bad, but this topic is not very pleasant to me," Bertila thought After learning about the destroyed Society for the Death of All Things, as well as some of the members of the dark cults that once were active all over the world that she found disgusting, she shook her head, "Let's end the cordial and friendly family talks here, we should talk about some serious business. ”
