The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

However, just as Leo was thinking about the problem, there was a sudden ear-piercing loud noise from the temple in front of him, and then he saw two doors of the temple, which had been closed all along, slowly opened a small gap. , this gap is so small that it is difficult to see clearly even with the naked eye.

This loud sound also alarmed the spirit clansmen who were waiting outside the city, and even spread to the edge of the island, passed through Yinyue Lake, and spread out of Yinyue Lake. Everyone looked in the direction of Sea God Temple in unison.

Not only those who heard the sound, but even the people who were far away from the islands and scattered on various pirates, the sea people in the deep sea, and those who didn't hear any sound, seemed to have sensed something. He looked in the direction of the Sea God Temple.

At this moment, Leo, who was standing in front of the Sea God Temple, was completely stunned by the sudden incident in front of him. He never thought that the door of the Sea God Temple would open in front of him, even if it was only opened, it would be difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. There is a gap, but it is just a gap, but it is enough to let the energy breath in the hard point on his body escape.

At this moment, Leo felt a sense of suffocation that he had never felt before, as if his whole body had been sunk into the deep sea, and the endless pressure of sea water around his body squeezed him, feeling as if he wanted to crush him Generally broken.

But facing this situation, Leo didn't even have the strength to resist, and even his mind fell into an inexplicable state of confusion, and he even saw an illusion in front of him.

I saw that he was no longer in front of the Sea God Temple at this moment, but was suspended in a dark and quiet deep sea. A huge black shadow stood in front of him. He couldn't see the whole picture of this huge black shadow clearly. He could feel that the shadow seemed to be watching him.

According to common sense, seeing the huge black shadow in front of him and feeling the profound and majestic power emanating from the black shadow, he should feel shock, fear and other emotions, and he should even feel mentally suppressed , just like the door of the Sea God Temple opened a gap, and the power escaping from it caused his spirit to fall into a state of chaos that he had never seen before.

But the actual situation is surprising, because not only did his spirit not fall into that negative emotion and state, but he became very sober, and he was not suppressed at all, as if he was standing by the sea , Looking at a big fish playing in the sea.

This weird situation made Leo couldn't help but start to check himself, and when he checked himself, he found that the original marks of the gods and the abyss snake on his body had all disappeared, and the only thing left was that one The huge stone throne, or more correctly, not only the stone throne remained, but he became a phantom sitting on the stone throne.

As Leo's understanding of extraordinary power has become deeper and deeper, he can already be sure that it was not a simple coincidence that he entered the stone throne when he activated his psychic power through high-energy matter. This is related to the blood of his current body. , perhaps also related to his ability to accommodate various god marks, so he felt that the stone throne was definitely a mysterious existence far beyond his expectations.

It's just that even though he has read so many books related to extraordinary power and mysterious knowledge, he still has no idea what the Stone Throne is. The only thing that is certain is that the Stone Throne should be the same as the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness. A kind of existence known as the Outer Gods, and once had contact with the gods of the world of Velen.

Now, directly facing the projection of Seagod's power, Leo, who only has sixth-level psychic power, can fight against it with the imprint of the Stone Throne deep in his soul, and does not fall behind. This shows how much power the Stone Throne originally possessed. powerful.

However, the power of the Stone Throne cannot be controlled by him, so now he can only passively confront the Seagod projection, unable to make any active decisions, and even unable to decide whether to end the confrontation.

I don't know how long the confrontation lasted. Leo seemed to have entered the state of absolute sanity when he was a cyborg. He was not impatient with this kind of confrontation. , gradually becoming unified with the stone throne, the phantom sitting on the throne is no longer an additional, separate existence, but a whole of the throne.

When Leo felt that his spirit would really coincide with the throne, and that he could also pry into the mystery of the stone throne through this close connection, the Seagod's power projection suddenly moved, and the huge and incomparably black A tentacle slowly protruded from the shadow, and it kept getting longer and thinner. When it finally reached Leo, it became about the size of a normal finger.

The finger didn't actively touch Leo, but just hovered in front of Leo, where he could touch it by raising his hand.

Looking at the tentacles hovering in front of him, Leo thought for a while, then stretched out his fingers, and touched the tentacles.

When he touched the tentacle, a huge amount of information and data rushed towards Leo's spirit crazily like the sea water encountering a breached seawall.

Originally, according to the mental strength of Leo's sixth-level psyker, it was impossible to preserve it in such a huge information flow, but the protection of the stone throne made his spiritual core feel like an extra dam, and this dam was very It is as high as a towering mountain, and no amount of impact can shake it in the slightest.

However, even so, Leo's fragile spirit couldn't absorb such a huge information flow that far exceeded his limit. The spiritual power that made up the information flow scattered after the impact of the spiritual dam built by the stone throne. Only a few fragments were absorbed by Leo's spirit, and most of the other fragments were integrated into the stone throne.

This flow of information is not a short-lived one, but a continuous wave, one wave after another, and it feels like there will never be a possibility of stopping.

I don't know how long it took, but the tentacle that was in contact with Leo suddenly began to blur and disappear quickly. At this moment, the source of the massive information flow was also cut off, and everything returned to normal.

Just when Leo was about to observe the further movement of the Seagod projection in front of him, the scene in front of him instantly changed back to the front of the Seagod Temple, and the door that opened a gap was closed again in front of his eyes.

Although in the deep sea world just now, Leo and the Poseidon projection confronted each other for a long time, and then spent a lot of time receiving a large amount of information stream injected by the Poseidon, but he felt that the time had not passed too long. What happens should only happen for a short period of time.

Because he found that among the devout people who knelt down and prayed because the gate of the Sea God Temple was opened, there was one who had just knelt down. This undoubtedly means that his spirit was drawn into that deep sea world the moment the gate was opened just now. .

At this time, those devout believers who were kneeling to pray had just opened their mouths to say a prayer that he was most familiar with, or had just knelt down. The re-closing of the temple gate interrupted all of their movements, and they were all at a loss Looking at the completely closed gate of the temple, he didn't know how to react.

Outside the city, the Spirit Race people also witnessed the complete process. Their eyesight was enough to allow them to see that a gap in the door of the Sea God Temple was not an illusion, and the subsequent closing of the door did surprise them. The impulsive Spirit Race people couldn't help rushing into the city, and ran towards the Sea God Temple, ready to find out.

And the actions of these spirit tribe members were too sudden. Although the spirit tribe leader wanted to stop them, he couldn't do it in the end. He could only watch his tribe rush towards the Sea God Temple.

And after the few Spirit Race people rushed into the city, they didn't encounter any dangers, and no unknown force harassed them, as if the moment the gate of the Sea God Temple was opened, the surrounding environment was purified.

Soon, these Spirit Race people came to the front of the Sea God Temple, not far from Leo's side, they didn't stop, but rushed directly into the square in front of the Sea God Temple.

Almost at the moment when these Spirit Race people rushed into the square, their bodies took over in an instant, and all the flesh and internal organs turned into foamy water and scattered all over the ground, and their skeletons rushed forward a few meters due to inertial movements. It fell apart completely, and finally turned into a puddle of powder.

These reckless Spirit Race people set a clear example for others, telling them that getting too close to the Sea God Temple would only usher in death, so Leo, who was closest to the temple, turned his head and left without any intention of staying any longer.

Seeing the tragic situation of those spirit tribe people just now, and seeing Leo turn his head and walk back, the few devout disciples of the sea god who remained in the end seemed not as pious as they showed. After weighing the degree of danger, they all agreed I chose to end this visit, turned around and walked back.

The group quickly walked back to the entrance of the city's arch from a long distance. At this time, the Eldar and the worshipers who had withdrawn were already waiting there, and they were full of questions and wanted to ask.

"What happened just now?" This question is the most asked question by everyone.

However, facing this question, neither Leo nor the others answered. Unlike Leo who didn't want to answer, the others didn't know what to answer, because they heard the loud noise and realized that the gate of the Sea God Temple was opening. When the Sea God might wake up, their minds were all blank, and their bodies instinctively performed prayer movements.

However, before they could finish their actions and start reciting scriptures, the entrance to the Sea God Temple just opened a gap, and closed it again inexplicably, which made all the witnesses feel puzzled and didn't understand the meaning.

The spirit clansmen who witnessed the death process of the same race wanted to know what happened just now, but they also knew that the devout worshipers did not lie, they really didn't know what happened, and the only person who knew the answer was theirs. It seems that the only possibility is Leo.

Because when the gate of the temple was opened, Leo was the closest person to the gate of the temple, and it was also when the gate of the temple was closed. Afterwards, the Spirit Race people rushed over to check the situation, and finally died in front of the temple. The closest person around was still Leo.

And the more important point is that Leo's emotions and expressions are different from those around others, which makes the Spirit Race people guess that Leo must have obtained something from the Sea God Temple.

Although the people of the Spirit Race were extremely curious about what happened just now and about Leo's situation, they didn't intend to force Leo to tell the truth, because apart from Leo's own strength, what's more important is that he is a member of the Holy Church of Gods. people.

During this extraordinary period, any action taken by the Eldar people against Leo may be regarded by the Holy Church as evidence that the Eldar people are no longer neutral, but are on the side of the Holy Church.

In the end, they didn't ask any more questions, and didn't ask Leo and the others for their consent, so they led the crowd and turned away, walking back towards the coast.

I don’t know if it’s because of their mentality. The people who returned from a long distance felt that it took a lot less time to walk the same road. When they arrived at the natural pier on the coast, the spirit people waiting there and other people who were going to pay homage Everyone was discussing what happened in the Sea God Temple just now.

When they saw Leo and the others coming back, many people couldn't wait to greet them, and each found a person to find out what was going on in the Sea God Temple just now.

Just like the people from the Spirit Race asked Leo and the others just now, these people's inquiries are destined to not get any useful information, but they finally got an amazing piece of information, that is, the loud noise just now was because of the opening of the Sea God Temple, and this opening The process was only a few short breaths before it closed again.

Although the opening time is very short, it is enough for the devout believers of the Sea God to make them fanatical. In their view, this is a response from the Sea God to their prayers. Even though the Sea God is still sleeping, he still cares about Follow their believers and give their believers a response.

All of a sudden, countless devout believers of Sea God on this natural pier knelt down spontaneously and prayed devoutly, and those who will be taken to the Sea God Temple by the Spirit Race in the next batch were even more excited, because they felt that Sea God Maybe it can also give them a response, so that they can also enjoy the blessing of the Seagod.

However, none of them realized that there were few people visiting the shrine.

Compared with those devout Poseidon believers, the reactions of the Spirit Race people were much smaller, and compared to paying attention to the reopening of the Poseidon Temple, they paid more attention to what Leo got at the moment the Seagod Temple opened, and They were also very curious about whether the opening of the Sea God Temple had anything to do with Leo, and what caused the sleeping Sea God to be alarmed.

What makes them regret is that unless they are willing to get involved in the internal strife of the Sea God Church and make enemies of the Sea Clan, no matter how curious they are, they won't be able to touch Leo.
