Alien Relic Hunter

"What?!"

Before Ke Lan could react, he felt an indescribable pressure - the radiation clouds that had been lingering over Alpha Star suddenly split from south to north, traveling through countless spaces and time, as if they were real. The general gaze fell on the "other self".

At this moment, the stagnant time resumed its flow.

That line of sight disappeared as if it had never appeared before, but the other self standing in front of him melted like a wax statue that had been exposed to the scorching sun.

"Is this... the price?"

Ke Lan stared blankly at the pool of burning blood on the ground, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness.

He didn't know why he felt sad...but before he could sort out his confusing thoughts, a sudden change occurred!

The scope of the flames suddenly expanded, swallowing him whole at once.

But Ke Lan didn't feel the burning pain, only a warmth surrounding his body... and a surge of power to the extreme!

The blood-colored flames lifted him up and slowly rose to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. Ke Lan lowered his head and saw the rising flames forming a magnificent statue, looking at Alexander from afar.

The moment he saw the Colossus, a large amount of information flowed into Ke Lan's mind - "The god that the Alpha people believe in has as many mortal enemies as the sea of ​​stars in the universe, 'The Flame God Cthugha' It is one of them. It is a huge super star that emits infinite heat, and the most critical point is that it is a star with self-awareness.

Out of some kind of agreement or tacit understanding, in wars between gods, they rarely take action personally, but are carried out by their own dependents or servants... These races and civilizations selected by the gods interact with each other in the universe. Fighting for limited resources and living space...Cthugha is no exception.

But it has no dependents, servants or races that believe in it - because the terrifying high temperature it releases makes the entire galaxy where it lives become an absolute forbidden area for life, and no living thing can approach that area. No living creature can receive His blessings.

But Cthurgia is not just a mere commander. He created countless offspring of various shapes through self-division. These offspring drifted to distant star fields under the influence of inertia, burning alien civilizations one after another..."

At this time, arriving on Alpha Star, it was the projection of the Colossus of Fire, the descendants of Cthugya.

Although Cthurgia has no dependents, a life form similar to the elemental creatures in fantasy novels was born from his offspring whose temperature was much lower than his. Before this elemental life could develop its own wisdom, it was transformed into a warrior by Cthugha's descendants and plunged into the never-ending war between gods and gods.

The Colossus of Fire is the best among these warriors.

Of course, if a real Colossus of Fire is dropped on Planet Alpha, the entire planet will turn into purgatory in an instant - the current projection is only one ten thousandth of the strength of the real Colossus of Fire, but even if In this way, its power is enough to rival Alexander.

With a thought in Ke Lan's mind, the Colossus of Flame strode towards Alexander.

As an elemental creature, the Colossus of Fire does not have a fixed form. However, driven by Ke Lan's subjective consciousness, this projection eventually transformed into the "Asura" in Buddhist legend - a burly body 10,000 meters high, sixteen muscular arms, and three evil ghosts. The head is carried on the shoulders, and the blue-white flames are constantly swallowing in the eyes... In the interpretation of Buddhism, Asura is the embodiment of revenge and anger, and is also the symbol of the God of War. It is used as the concrete image of the Colossus of Fire. It is really Couldn't be more relevant.

The moment he saw the Colossus of Flame appear, Alexander's upper body began to rotate. When Ke Lan controlled the Colossus of Flame and walked in front of Alexander, he happened to meet a beam of light that struck down from above——

Not long ago, the same beam of light split open an aircraft carrier battleship without any hindrance, like cutting paper, but now, it was blocked by the two arms raised by the Colossus of Flame!

"boom!!"

A huge explosion sounded, and four flaming fists with a diameter of several hundred meters hit Alexander's body, immediately triggering a series of explosions. The energy shields that left the three fleets helpless were torn apart in an instant. A huge pit appeared in Alexander's chest.

Countless broken metal parts crashed to the ground, but more of them were melted into red molten steel by the high temperature on the fist of the Flame Colossus. This molten steel poured into Alexander's interior, killing the rotating gears. Wrapped in death - In the blink of an eye, one side of Alexander's body was paralyzed, and the huge arm gradually began to fall apart.

"Why are you stopping me!" The prophet's roar came from Alexander's body and resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Are you so willing to be those people's pawn?"

"Have you never thought about what their true purpose is?"

Every time the prophet roared, hundreds of lasers would burst out from Alexander's body. However, after the projection of the Colossus of Flame was pierced by the laser, it immediately returned to its original state - it was originally a ball of flame, even if the body was cut. No matter how many times we open it, we can still get it together.

With another fierce straight punch, one of the arms of the Colossus of Fire directly punched Alexander's right shoulder through. The other arms hugged Alexander's right arm and forcefully pulled it from Alexander's torso. It was torn off.

"Uh...ah——!!" The prophet let out a shrill scream. After he guided the ritual to awaken Alexander, his true body has been integrated with the God of Machinery. The damage to Alexander's body has naturally also It will make him feel real pain.

"What is their purpose...does it have anything to do with you who deserve to go to hell?" After Ke Lan finished speaking, he waved Alexander's giant arm and hit the opponent hard on the head!

"boom!!"

A shock wave visible to the naked eye centered on Alexander and spread rapidly to the surroundings. The originally chaotic battlefield was suddenly cleared... As for Alexander, who was at the center of the shock wave, he was hit a lot shorter by this heavy blow. cut.

The structure of its upper body has been shattered, and it cannot even maintain the integrity of the energy shield. Its lower body has been smashed into the ground again. The cracks like spider webs have spread to more than ten kilometers away, and the rift is the widest. place, the span even exceeds 100 meters.

"Why are you angry?" Compared with just now, the figure of the prophet has become much weaker. Alexander raised his other arm to block the attack of the Colossus of Flame, but was stepped on by the Colossus of Flame, nearly 10,000 meters away. The tall mechanical god instantly lost his balance and fell face down to the ground.

If Ark's ground troops had not been wiped out earlier, the earthquake caused by this time alone would have been enough to cause them huge casualties.

Under the influence of the earthquake, the White Ridge Mountains in the distance began to have avalanches one after another. The peaks originally covered with white snow revealed their true colors of rocks one by one, and the majestic white waves completely filled the valleys - the third peak of the White Ridge Mountains. The Thirty-seven Peaks "Tongtian Pillar" even broke directly from it, and the top of the nearly 1,000-meter-high peak rolled down, making a thunderous noise.

This scene looks like the end of the world is coming.

The projection of the Flame Colossus has faded a lot compared to when it first arrived - the projection has a time limit. When the drop of God's blood is completely burned out, the projection will disappear from the world. Ke Lan must rush Before that, completely destroy Alexander.

Sixteen fists fell on Alexander like raindrops, explosions sounded one after another, the fortress-like God of Machinery was rapidly collapsing, and the bloody flames gradually became the only color of the battlefield.

"Don't you know... they're using you?" The prophet was obviously not dead yet, even though Alexander was completely unable to move.

"I know." Ke Lan replied, the fist of the Flame Colossus did not stop.

"Then you want to know...in the tower...the things I didn't have time to tell you?"

The Flame Colossus' fist hesitated for a moment, but finally hit Alexander hard.

"It seems that the negotiation failed." The prophet seemed to let out a chuckle, but at this moment, Ke Lan felt a warning sign in his heart for no reason. He did not hesitate, and immediately controlled the Colossus of Flame to jerk back. With one leap, he distanced himself from Alexander.

Violent white light burst out from the cracks all over Alexander's body. Countless broken parts floated up and turned into powder in the white light. An extremely powerful energy continued to gather in Alexander's core...

"Self-destruction?" Ke Lan was shocked. He protected the sixteen arms of the Flame Colossus in front of him and assumed a posture to resist the impact——

However, the imagined strong impact did not come. Those white lights were extinguished at an extremely fast speed. The high-intensity energy reaction inside Alexander also disappeared instantly. A white light with only the thickness of a hair shot out from Alexander's body, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone. Through the White Ridge Mountains.

"not good!"

Ke Lan wanted to block the white light, but in the end his movement was a beat too slow. The dazzling bright light came from the direction of the White Ridge Mountains - when the strong light dissipated, the central area of ​​the White Ridge Mountains suddenly appeared. A gap was created that was ten thousand meters wide.

Through this gap, you can see that about one-third of the east side of the Ark has disappeared. The metal that has been melted into liquid flows down from the edge of the gap, converging into a "steel lake" directly under the Ark.

"It's a pity that it missed the target." These were the last words of the prophet, and then Alexander began to disintegrate on its own, collapsing into a pile of broken metal gravel.

The Colossus of Flame also disappeared, and Ke Lan fell to the ground. He gasped for air and looked in the direction of the Ark in disbelief.

"This is Alexander's strongest blow. If you had been in the path of this blow just now, even with the power of God's blood, you would definitely die." The intelligence dealer's voice came from the earphones.

"What's the current situation of Ark?" Ke Lan asked urgently.

"Communications in the East District have been completely cut off, and the North and South Districts have also been severely damaged. The garrison and the Security Bureau are currently organizing manpower for rescue, but the situation is not optimistic." The intelligence dealer paused and continued, "Conservative estimates, The number of casualties may reach more than half of the entire Ark's population."

"..."

"I can't blame you. With the power of projection, it is impossible to stop Alexander's 'Ultimate Judgment'... This is an attack launched by gathering all the energy in Alexander's body. Its power is second only to the Alpha Civilization's star-killer weapon. …There’s one thing you probably don’t know yet. From the very beginning, the Alexander was designed as a single-use decisive weapon.”

"Are Layton and the others still alive?" Ke Lan asked tiredly.

"They were picked up on the Garuda-class transport ship after leaving the battlefield. Everything is fine." The intelligence dealer replied, "By the way, there is one thing I need to remind you."

"What's up?"

"Don't believe the undead crew." The information dealer said one word at a time.

"Sure enough, there is a mole within the crew, right?" Ke Lan was not too surprised. This speculation had been lingering in his mind for a long time, but now it has finally been confirmed.

"No, I mean, don't trust anyone on the Immortal Crew."

"Then you are considered a member of the Immortal Crew? Are you saying that I can't trust you either?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment.

"right."

"According to this logic, what you said is simply a paradox..." Ke Lan said, "You make me not believe you. Does that mean that your sentence itself may also be a lie?"

"Not just me, including yourself, don't believe anyone or anything they say." The intelligence dealer said again.

"Including myself? Are you telling me not to believe my own...memory?" Ke Lan suddenly thought of what the prophet had said to himself in the "Tower".

It's a pity that the prophet has died along with the destruction of Alexander, and Ke Lan will never have the chance to pry something out of his mouth.

The information dealer did not answer. When Ke Lan wanted to ask something more, the communication had been cut off.

He tried to call back, but found that the other party's number was empty.

Just when he wanted to contact the other party's forum account, his phone suddenly rang.

This number is not unfamiliar to Ke Lan - it belongs to Demeter, the fourth "Queen" of the Undead Crew.

"Hello?" Ke Lan answered the phone.

"Pan is dead." The other party's first words made Ke Lan's heart stop for a moment.

"What did you say?"

"Pan was originally the person responsible for contacting you during this combat operation, but he cut off contact with other members before the combat operation began. Just now, other members of the crew found that his physical body had Scientifically declared dead, as for his consciousness..."

Demeter did not continue speaking, but changed the subject: "During the entire combat operation, you have been communicating with him, right?"
