Immortal Soul of Steel

Refina's doubts were not answered.

Because she didn't ask, Lin Youde didn't mean to explain.

Everything seemed to be a coincidence, no one cared about it.

But that doesn't mean no one is wondering.

In this way, with various emotions, everyone headed to the sea area where the "Secret Realm" appeared.

120 nautical miles is not very far for a white wooden horse.

Just waiting for the Black Knights, the White Trojan was not sailing at full speed.

But even so, it didn't take long to reach the destination.

As the speed of the white Trojan slowly slowed down, Lin Youde stood up from the captain's seat.

"Is this... the secret realm? It seems to be a little bit different from ordinary space cracks."

Lin Youde's words made everyone in the bridge nod unconsciously.

Without it, it's just because the dimensional cracks that everyone on the bridge sees now are different from the ones that were spread out in the sky before. It unfolds vertically like a portal.

If it weren't for the middle of this dimensional crack, there wouldn't be an arc flashing through. Lin Youde almost thought that what he saw was not some dimensional crack. It's the kind of portal that is opened by the scroll of town return in the famous grinder game "Diablo" that I played in my previous life.

Of course, only Lin Youde could feel this way.

This isn't just because the world doesn't have a game like Diablo.

It's because the dimensional crack in front of us is a bit big.

"Ruri-chan, how big is this dimensional rift?"

Lin Youde asked Lin Liuli.

Lin Liuli quickly checked and returned.

"It's about over 500 meters in diameter."

Lin Youde touched his chin and whispered: "500 meters..."

Lei Mengmeng, who came to the bridge with others to see the dimensional cracks, explained at this time.

"A 500-meter dimensional crack can only be regarded as a small-scale dimensional crack."

"A dimensional crack that is thousands of meters long is considered a standard type."

"But the secret realm is different from the dimensional rift because the interior is connected to another subspace. Therefore, the size is generally smaller."

"Based on the current standards calculated by the three major countries, 200 meters is the standard size."

"Anything less than 200 meters is a small secret realm, and anything over 3 or 400 meters is a medium secret realm."

With that said, Lei Mengmeng looked at the dimensional crack in front of her with excitement and worry.

"And something like this that's over 500 meters is considered a large secret realm."

"According to the experience of the three major countries in exploring secret realms, the larger the secret realm, the greater the danger inside."

Suddenly, something sounded, and Lei Mengmeng turned to Lin Youde and said.

"The secret realm we didn't catch before is the large secret realm."

When Lei Mengmeng said this, Lin Youde was shocked.

"That time was also a large-scale secret realm?"

Lei Mengmeng nodded heavily.

"Yes, although when I passed by, the secret realm had begun to disappear. But the size, I think it is large-scale."

Hearing Lei Mengmeng's affirmative answer, Lin Youde was in trouble.

He has no knowledge of secret realms or anything like that.

But Lei Mengmeng said that the secret realm at the HLD base was a large secret realm, so the danger can be imagined.

That caused heavy damage to the two divine machines, the Dragon King Machine and the Tiger King Machine, and also resulted in the loss of countless people and machines.

If the secret realm in front of him is also of the same level. The enemies inside are probably quite tricky.

At this time, Lelouch, who had just boarded the white wooden horse, was wearing casual clothes and taking C.C and Kallen with him. Standing in the corner of the bridge, he asked Lei Mengmeng.

"Well, can I ask, can you integrate the description of the interior of the secret realm?"

"I don't have any information about the secret realm here. What's going on inside is just a blur."

"I don't think it is a good choice to rush in without intelligence."

Lei Mengmeng also knew that Lelouch was a wandering prince, and why his knowledge of some secrets was different from that of ordinary people. He nodded and responded.

"Of course it's okay, because it's not really a big secret."

After sorting out her thoughts, Lei Mengmeng explained.

"There is another completely independent subspace inside the secret realm. The situation inside is complete chaos. No one knows what is there."

"Because the space inside the secret realm is a place that cannot be understood with common sense."

"But based on the current experience summarized after human exploration, there are generally two situations in the secret realm."

Lelouch frowned slightly: "What's the difference between the two situations?"

Lei Mengmeng nodded and explained.

"Yes, there are two kinds."

"The first type is pure chaos."

"This one is relatively simple. All kinds of enemies inside are purely attacking each other. As long as you kill all the enemies inside, you can ensure the safety of this secret realm."

"But this is not the only option. In fact, just take away the "treasure" in the secret realm. The secret realm will disappear. "

"So, if there is a way to bypass the enemy in the secret realm, you can also make the secret realm disappear without fighting."

"This is also the reason why human countries have invested hugely in optical camouflage technology. Unfortunately, so far, not many forces have actually developed mature optical camouflage technology."

Lei Mengmeng shrugged and continued.

"Compared with the simplicity of the first one, the second one is more troublesome."

"Because the second type is similar to a copy of a game."

Lin Youde was a little surprised: "It's like a copy of a game?"

Lei Mengmeng nodded slightly and responded: "That's right, because in this kind of copy, there are some forces that are hostile to each other."

"Once you enter this kind of dungeon, you must find the forces that are not guarding the treasure and help them defeat the hostile forces."

"Only in this way can we obtain the treasures guarded in the secret realm."

"and……"

Lin Youde looked at Lei Mengmeng's strange expression and couldn't help but ask: "And what?"

Lei Mengmeng looked at everyone and said.

"Moreover, the second type seems to have formed independently based on the cognition of the first batch of entrants."

"There were people from the Free Federation before. In this secret realm, they encountered the passionate battle between giant robots and giant monsters from the old movie "Pacific Rim" of the last century."

"On the Silla Alliance side, there is a situation similar to that of "Jurassic Park" where dinosaurs are walking all over the ground."

"Our unified side has seen scenes similar to "Kamen Rider" and "Armor Warrior" in which people wearing leather holsters and various life-size holsters fight with monsters."

Amid the shocked and confused expressions of everyone, Lei Mengmeng looked helpless.

"This is what I said before, the secret realm is a place that our normal world cannot understand."

"You never know what's going to happen in there."

"And the things inside are completely impossible to study and bring out. It's like something purely imagined."

"And this is the real reason why the situation in the secret realm is called chaos."

"Because you never expect what you will see."
