Deep Sea Embers

For Duncan, the "Great Annihilation" was finally no longer a completely unknown mystery. Deep in the endless thick ancient curtain, the truth finally revealed to him a corner - a crucial corner.

It was the mutual "collision" of worlds that led to the occurrence of the Great Annihilation, and the "incompatibility" phenomenon of different worlds distorted the ruins after the impact into the bizarre and dangerous deep sea era that exists today, remaining in the deepest part of Silantis' nightmare. This scene is a microcosm of that collision.

But it's just a microcosm - these two worlds are by no means the only ones colliding.

Duncan could feel that as he "understood" these truths, changes were happening, and these changes were happening to him.

For a moment just now, he even felt that everything in front of him had turned into chaotic and void... colors. He saw the essence of the world in the depth of the colors, and saw that they were all crumbling starlight, and every cluster of glimmers of light They are all composed of abstract information descriptions;

He also saw that everything was at the critical point of slow collapse, and their contradictory nature caused them to continue to collapse and reorganize in the depths of information. He seemed to understand the true side of the entire world, and almost found the "only one" for all contradictions and imbalances. untie"……

But it was only for a moment.

He seems to be missing something, missing one of the most important "parameters".

Duncan's reason returned to reality. He blinked and felt as if there were countless voices roaring in his mind. Then those roars gradually faded away, and he gradually resumed his thinking.

I have understood the nature of the Great Annihilation and why the current Deep Sea Age was formed...but what is the missing "key parameter"? Now that I have understood the truth of the world, what is there that I still don’t understand?

Duncan still had the strong impression of seeing the real side of the world in his mind, and he couldn't help but think about these abstract and difficult problems. But soon, he forcibly controlled his thinking and noticed Lucretia. Ya cast a worried look.

Now is not the time to continue thinking about those questions.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly understood something." He waved his hand, then turned his head and looked beyond the side of the ship.

The Lost Home is sailing on the surface of the light curtain made of false sunlight. The blazing spiritual flames are spreading rapidly on this light curtain, eroding and melting through this seemingly powerful barrier. The mutual impact of forces is on the surface. Storms composed of light and flames set off in the distance.

But it seems that it will take some time to completely melt through this "light wall".

Unless...this barrier itself suddenly has a "weakness"...

Under the curtain of light and the sea of ​​fire, in the nameless world covered by yellow sand, a desert storm took shape again, and in the depths of the storm, a huge flash of light erupted again.

The violent wind that swept across the entire desert dissipated again. In the disorderly and chaotic airflow, the curtain formed by the storm was torn apart, and sand and dust were scattered on the ground.

And in the gradually thinning dust mist, a round of increasingly dim "sunlight" is gradually emerging. It is floating on the overflowing magma lake, and its surface is visible to the naked eye. It is flickering and rising and shrinking.

The breeze rises, the ashes gather, and they are gradually reshaped.

"What the hell are you?!?!"

The chaotic trembling roar finally sounded again, and the language that humans could not understand was mixed in the terrifying noise. Under the false corona shell, the countless eyeballs of the Sun's descendants trembled violently, staring at the figure who was walking out of the ashes. .

A human-like... emotion finally appeared in its roar, which was anger.

Fanna slowly raised the giant sword, looking calmly at the "sun" falling on the ground in front of her, and slowly said: "After all, it is just a derivative of the ancient god, and it is not that strong."

The Son of the Sun ignored her and continued to repeat: "Who the hell are you?!"

Vanna finally lowered her head and glanced at her body.

The last wisp of ashes is gradually returning to her body under the pull of the spiritual flames. She can feel that her senses are recovering from paralysis, the blood is reappearing and starting to flow, and a heart - a heart like a human, has Restoring the beat in your own chest.

She could even feel the reshaping process of her heart.

"It's just a pile of ashes," she said softly as she stepped forward.

"Ashes? No...you are not ashes at all!" The hoarse and low tremor of the Sun's descendants came from the distance, "Subspace...you have the aura of subspace, you are the shadow of subspace leaked into the real world - what on earth are you doing? What is it?!”

Vanna stopped suddenly.

A trace of astonishment appeared in her eyes, followed by thought. Then, she seemed to vaguely understand something, and said thoughtfully: "You said, I am a subspace shadow?"

The Son of the Sun did not answer her question, but only made an unsettling, low and chaotic noise. The flames and light gathered again, repairing and reshaping the "corona" on its surface.

Vanna didn't care, she didn't expect to get all the answers from this blasphemous thing, or in other words, she already got the answers herself.

Yes, by definition, she is a subspace shadow - it was the power of subspace that reshaped the pile of ashes more than ten years ago into "Fanna", and in the process of reshaping, her essence It is already a subspace creation.

Therefore, the "existence that returned from the subspace" should look like this.

"So...it turns out that the captain is another kind of existence..."

Vanna whispered to herself softly, and then she seemed to feel something, raised her head and quietly stared at the "sun" on the distant earth.

The Son of the Sun noticed her gaze, and felt some unsettling meaning from this gaze. Its surface expanded and contracted, and began to emit a low tremor, as if it was threatening or warning.

But Fanna laughed, not paying any attention to the heat wave that was surging around her again, or the deadly "sunshine" that was gradually gathering on the Sun's descendants.

"You can be afraid too." She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

Then, the sky was set on fire.

A sea of ​​​​fire that undulated like an ocean and surged like a storm suddenly appeared, covering a third of the sky almost in the blink of an eye. The flames briefly dispersed the clouds and fog between the two worlds, and began to gradually move toward the sky below. The earth is sunken and sinking.

A huge shadow emerged from the center of the sea of ​​​​fire, and gradually crushed it down as if it was about to penetrate the sky. While the huge shadow continued to enter, layers of pale golden "sunshine" briefly appeared on the edge of the sea of ​​​​fire. As if to reshape the barrier to block this "invasion", but the next second, the sunlight shattered like glass - with an illusory cracking sound, the huge ship wrapped in flames finally fell from the sky.

The Son of the Sun let out a series of chaotic roars. It was shocked to find that the barrier it had carefully constructed had been penetrated by an external force at some point. Even the flames on the barrier no longer obeyed its orders. Then, it was The huge ship falling from the sky attracted "eyes".

The "shell" made of flames and light opened, and the tentacles piled inside the shell involuntarily extended and stretched outward in the sunlight. Eyeballs that were not like humans turned to the silhouette of the Lost Home. Staring at the fire, staring at a figure in the fire.

The truth has arrived.

A voice came from the sky: "You saw me."

As a result, the flames on the outer shell of the Son of the Sun were suddenly dyed with a layer of dark green - the green fire, like a living creature, began to spread throughout the body of this derivative of the ancient god, and ignited it from the inside out in the blink of an eye. Transformation.

But it was not burned to ashes in an instant - in the rapid burning of the spiritual flames, it actually struggled to float from the earth, and then suddenly rushed into the sky.

Almost at the same time, a bright stream of flames burst out from the bow of the Lost Home.

It was a golden arc-shaped flame - the flames rushed from the bow of the ghost ship into the sky like an eruption, and without hesitation pounced on the long flame trailing like an upside-down meteor. Heir of the Sun, and penetrated it in the blink of an eye.

However, the "fireball" was not dead yet. It only paused briefly and then struggled to continue flying into the sky.

It's almost escaping the world.

But just when the fireball was about to turn into a shadow at the edge of the sky, a huge phantom suddenly appeared on its escape path.

It was a pitch-black billy goat.

He is as huge as a mountain, floating in the sky like a dark cloud. There are illusory thunders jumping between his horns, but a green fire is reflected in his eyes. His body is gathered from the sea of ​​spiritual fire flowing in the sky. Taking shape, and showing a chaotic and uncertain posture - He lowered his head slightly in the direction of the Lost Home, and after a silent greeting, he turned his gaze to the fireball that was trying to escape from this place.

The billy goat took a few steps back in the clouds, then lowered his head and accelerated suddenly - the sea of ​​​​fire gathered behind him and spread into a road under his feet. He began to run along this path of flames, like a jet black falling from the clouds. In the blink of an eye, the meteor accelerated to a level that could not be caught by the naked eye, and then violently hit the fireball that was constantly accelerating into the sky.

The huge explosion and impact shattered the last remaining clouds between the two worlds, and even shattered the distant mountains and part of the crumbling earth. The rising fireball was torn apart by the impact, breaking into large and small pieces. The block instantly turned into dust in the burning of the green flames, and another shining "core" fell from the sky, but as soon as it fell halfway, it was swallowed up by a spiritual flame that emerged out of thin air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Black Goat walked out of the fire storm caused by the big explosion. He walked from the clouds to the earth, and landed in front of Vanna together with the Lost Home.
