Sword of Daybreaker

The chaotic and disorderly wind blew over from the distant land of phantoms, rolled up the fine gray sand, and lifted a piece of smoke between the collapsed altar and the throne. In the smoke, there seemed to be countless phantoms of ancient things undulating. Sinking, but disappearing when the next wind and sand arrives, the goddess on the throne calmly and for a long time watched the illusions that occasionally emerged in the sand and dust. After a long time, the majestic but sentimental voice sounded between heaven and earth: "Yeah, big adventurer, we have all been in this place for too long, and many things have become blurred, including what we once valued and cared about... all disappeared in the wind."

Wilde's voice seemed quite surprised: "...Madam, are you also sad because of the passage of time and things?"

"God is also human, God is the most human, Mr. Adventurer," Ms. Ye seemed to have a little smile in her voice, "Those who have lost their humanity either have fallen in madness, or will sooner or later enter the end. ."

"...What about the ‘thing’ that wanders around your throne?" the book on the stone pillar asked, "Is he also human?"

This time, the voice on the throne was silent for a long time. It wasn't until the next gust of wind and sand came up that there was a voice from the throne: "Of course he also has his humanity, and in a sense, his humanity is pure and not Dust."

"...Is that right? I thought that thing didn't even have the ability to think," the adventurer's voice sounded surprised, "So he is still human..."

"Ah, you're right, adventurer, he really doesn't even have the ability to think..." the towering figure on the throne sighed and said, with the sound of words, he slowly got up, and he didn't know when his hands had already appeared. With a scepter made up of black and white, she looked at the shadowy area at the end of the desert that looked like a silhouette of a city, and stepped down the altar. "A newborn baby has no ability to think, but the purest humanity in the world lies in the baby. Before his first cry..."

The wind roared in the desert, and in the black and white silhouette of the city in the distance, a group of indescribable horrible masses formed by countless hyperplastic limbs and mutated flesh and blood was breeding out of the dark body, just like a giant of flesh and blood. Floating over the city like the sun, it began to slowly float towards the throne altar. A harsh sound came from the mass of flesh and blood, as if countless shouts, countless screams and a lot of low muttering were mixed together. And where its flesh and blood tentacles spread, the gray-white desert was quickly stained with a crazy black and red stain, and the pure sand dust was instantly turned into a muddy mass of mud.

But in the next second, the invisible power spread out from the direction of the throne, and the pollution on the edge of the desert was instantly stopped. The towering figure rising from the throne stepped towards the distance, and the gray-white crevices spreading and wandering on His dress were like water. Flowing and condensed on the top of the scepter in his hand, as if the light and shadow dominating the entire world.

"The'baby' is about to cry again. He needs a little'care' from the elders," a majestic and lazy female voice resounded between the heavens and the earth, "Mr. Adventurer, remember to focus on the star map. Don't listen to or see the border. 'The movement that comes."

"Ah, this is definitely the scariest baby in the world...and also the scariest domestic violence scene," the ancient book book on the stone pillar sighed, "Okay, I understand. Be careful."

…

After a lot of hard work, the harsh and noisy alarms finally stopped, but the red warning lights around the room still flashed non-stop. Gawain stood in front of the large terminal device at the end of the main control room with an unusually serious expression. Looking at the system interface that had been completely out of control, he remained motionless for a long time.

It wasn't until a familiar sound of footsteps came that he turned his neck slightly, and turned slightly to the direction of the sound: "I knew you were going to sneak over in the end."

"I'm a little thief, wouldn't it be against my professional spirit to be able to be honest?" Amber's carefree voice sounded behind Gawain, and it didn't sound like the tension of "defying orders" at all. "You have been so long. Have you been staring at this thing here? Are you planning to see the weakness of the sentry from here?"

Gawain's gaze returned to the large hemispherical terminal in front of him. He stared at the holographic image projected on it, and after a few seconds he slowly said, "I'm looking for the weak point of this ship."

"The weakness of this ship?" Amber raised her eyebrows, stepped to the side of Gawain, and followed him staring at the large terminal in front of her for a long time, but she couldn't understand a symbol at all, "You mean The weak point of this ship is the main control room? This sounds reasonable. After all, this is its control center... But didn’t it mean that the main control room actually has nothing to do with the operation of the spacecraft?"

"This is the problem," said Gao Wen. "The control center should theoretically be the weak point of the spacecraft. However, this ship is no longer just a'machine'. It has been out of control for more than a thousand years. Cruise, its operation has nothing to do with these crashed control terminals... I was actually trying to find a way to repair the system and take over the control authority of the spacecraft from these terminals. You know, if we can control this ship, even if only Partially control it, it will bring us unimaginable benefits, but I failed."

"It's normal if you fail," Amber stunned, but quickly said with a smile, "This is what the sailor left behind, and it has been corrupted by the upsurge again-neither of these things are easy to deal with. In this world, even the gods cannot do omniscience and omnipotence, there must be things you can’t handle.”

"No, the failure itself is nothing. The biggest problem is... this." Gawain shook his head, and then stepped to a small terminal nearby. He kicked it up, leaving the surface with serious signs of corruption and shell. The already damaged equipment directly kicked out a big hole, then reached into the hole and pulled a large piece of metal plate on the machine shell forcibly.

"Hey! This is ancient..." Amber subconsciously exclaimed when he saw Gao Wen's "violent dismantling" scene, but then her eyes fell on the big hole that Gao Wen had opened. Through the torn metal plate, the situation inside the device was presented before her eyes, causing her to hold the second half of the sentence directly in the bronchus.

The inside of the hole was almost empty, except for a pile of crystal structures that were obviously distorted, as if they had melted, and a little ashes, this thing was basically an empty shell that had been "caved out".

However, just above such an empty device, the red warning lights representing system failures and a bunch of chaotic holographic images are still flashing.

"Did you see it? This empty shell is still operating-although the system is in a state of operation, but in fact it shouldn't even emit a ray of light," Gawain said with a serious expression, "Daniel said this before. The ship is a'walking corpse' that is still alive after its head is chopped off, but the actual situation is probably more weird and terrifying than that...There is some power to maintain everything here, and the various components of this ship are not just'out of the system, but also It’s as simple as running. The mechanism behind them is beyond our understanding and does not even conform to our understanding of the material world... I don’t know how many Chengdus in this ship are in this state. I even doubt that the nature of the entire ship is It's already being'caved'."

Amber stared at the weird and terrifying scene in front of him with a stunned mouth, and suddenly shrank his neck and trembled: "This...so it's impossible for us to'take over' this ship by any means, right? Just what you said' authority. '..."

"Yes, we can't take over its'control authority', because this ship has been completely alienated into something...indescribable. It just looks like it still maintains its former appearance, but its inner part is better than that. The Tower of Inverse Tide is even more disturbing. Frankly speaking, I don’t want to touch it even if I am given a chance to take over this spaceship...because this is definitely a trap that will seduce us to the end of the disaster," Gawain’s expression was so serious that it was almost somber. He said, "Similarly, we better not try to learn any technology from this ship... Even if there is still some knowledge that can be understood by us in this ship, that knowledge must be'toxic'. "

Amber listened with horror on his face, and swallowed hard: "So you just tried to find the weakness of this ship, but you actually wanted to..."

"I'm thinking, what can we do to destroy it," Gao Wen said with a serious face. In front of Amber, he did not hide his thoughts and concerns. "We can't deal with that'home port', but the home port itself seems to be too. I don’t have the ability to take the initiative, but the spaceship in front of us... it makes me feel threatened."

"Threat... this thing is indeed a bit weird," Amber whispered, "but then again, isn't the'Sentinel' already running away? No matter how weird the homeport and spacecraft it left behind, it is a dead thing that runs according to the program. That's it..."

"Is the sentry really disconnected from the home port and the spacecraft?" Gawain interrupted Amber's words, "Is it really only trying to break free from the commands and tasks that are bound to itself before running out of the deep sea? Maybe... It is only a temporary means to'leave the post' to accomplish other things, or perhaps there are still some'arrangements' left by this spaceship and that home port. Someday in the future, these things Will become a weapon aimed at us."

Amber shrank his neck, and when he looked at the ancient devices that were emitting red light, he seemed to feel a sense of tension like being stabbed by needles, as if there were countless pairs of cold and malicious people behind those flashing red lights. The eyes were staring at her, the "fat" that had fallen into the predator's mouth, and this feeling reminded her, and she couldn't help but think of the cold stare that she had produced in the spacecraft corridor before. The chills staring at and being stared at by the malicious mind.

"Then do you have a way?" She couldn't help but rubbing her arm that was about to get goosebumps, looking at Gawain expectantly, "You usually have the best way..."

"I'm still thinking, and I'm not sure what effect my own ideas will do," Gawain said with a serious expression. "The technology used by this ship is extremely advanced, and its armor and shields may be able to resist what mortal civilization can do today. Any kind of weapon made, and if it is destroyed from the inside...I don’t know where to start. Look around, these control terminals have been destroyed more than a thousand years ago, which makes no sense at all. . And there is a more important point..."

"A more important point?" Amber asked subconsciously.

"This ship may counterattack," Gawain shook his head. "It has a weapon system and is protected both inside and outside. These things are likely to also operate automatically-we may not be able to withstand the irritation until the bottom of the ship is fully understood. The price of this ancient weapon."

Having said this, he sighed softly, with a hint of thought in his expression and said softly: "So, I'm thinking of another way..."

The information gained in the sentinel's home port and the experience along the way made everyone's emotions a little nervous, and this nervous mood even continued for the entire subsequent journey.

But in the end, the return journey ended without surprises.

A dim light appeared in the depths of the chaos and darkness outside the spaceship shield. In the light, you could vaguely see the sand and dust clouds hanging down from the endless heights. After seeing the familiar sight, it had returned to the height of the deck. Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Melita got up from the resting place, with huge wings and a tail covered with scales. The others who had been resting for a long time also stood up and looked at the border of the God of War that was gradually showing a clear outline. Daniel, who had a stern face, a gloomy temperament and rarely communicated with other people, couldn't help but breathe out at this time, and muttered in a low voice, "Finally, I'm back..."

"Yeah, I finally came back," Mary heard her instructor speak, and then muttered softly, "I'm so nervous along the way..."

Daniel glanced at his female apprentice slightly, and snorted in his nose, "Is this going to relax? This journey is an adventure that ordinary wizards would never dare to think of in a lifetime. You can't get nothing at all. —Go back and write a three-thousand-word summary and hand it in next Monday."

Mary's expression suddenly froze: "...Ah, yes, mentor..."

Gawain heard the communication between Mary and Daniel, which reminded him of some pictures from the depths of his memories in his previous life. A faint smile floated on his face, making his journey serious and depressing. The aura has also disappeared a lot.

At the same time, after a moment of slowing down and calibrating the course, the spacecraft finally returned to the place where everyone started.

The border of the God of War is surrounded by a sea of ​​yellow sand and clouds, and the flag of the Alliance has been hoisted on the outer edge of the fragmented city. Typhon’s highest technical officer, Ms. Windsor Mapel, and the commander of the White Knight and the high-ranking fighting monk Sollid Knight lead With their respective teams standing in a "stable area" near the border, they have been waiting here for a long time.

Among them, there was Noretta the white dragon leading two young dragons.

When the spacecraft returned, it wasn't just the explorers on board that were relieved.

As the spacecraft reached the closest point to the kingdom of God in the sea of ​​clouds, the blue dragon jumped up from the edge of the deck, carrying the exploratory team that had set off two days ago and the large number of "samples" they brought back, and finally returned. Arrived on the land of the God of War God Kingdom, which was constantly disintegrating, but at this moment it seemed extraordinarily stable.

This time, Amber was the first to jump off Melita's back.

"Huh...it can be considered a sigh of relief," she shook her head, and couldn't help sighing, "It feels so good to step on the ground...not long ago I still felt that the Kingdom of God of War is a dangerous place, and now I am back here. It's like going home..."
