The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

I saw these dozen or so humanoid creatures standing in front of the ruins, placing the items in their hands on the ground in a certain way, and then performing a ceremony under the leadership of the highest-status humanoid creature.

During this ceremony, waves of energy emanate from these humanoid creatures. These energy waves are a kind of mixed energy wave mixed with life energy, electromagnetic energy and other energies. Various energies are mixed in Together, they did not merge with each other, but conflicted and rubbed against each other, so that these energy waves were presented in various rainbow-like gorgeous ways, and spread to the surrounding land, covering the entire ruins of the footprints in it, and Leo's hidden location is also within its envelope.

Although Leo has done some protection by camouflage and shielding, facing this kind of mixed energy wave with a large amount of complex energy composition, the shielding spiritual energy has not been able to perfectly shield all the energy, and there are still some energy waves and spiritual energy. The energy produced collision and friction, and then emitted a burst of light that wasn't very strong, but was extremely eye-catching in the energy waves.

Such a striking halo appeared on the hillside not far away, even though it was blocked by some relatively low trees around, it was still seen by those humanoid creatures.

Facing the sudden abnormal halo, the humanoid creatures of more than ten meters were all stunned. They obviously did not expect such an abnormal situation to appear, but some of the tallest humanoid creatures, who should be guards and the like, were very He quickly recovered from the surprise, and unanimously pulled out three palm-sized round shields and three short spears from his bosom, and then saw them shake their arms, and the round shield immediately unfolded an energy shield , and the edges of the energy shields are fused with each other, forming a complete shield to protect more than a dozen companions, and two energy thorns protrude from the ends of those short spears, forming a complete energy shield. spear.

The leader who had been protected stood up from the crowd, and raised three pairs of arms in the air to form something like a spell handprint. Immediately afterwards, he saw a large amount of energy gathering in his body and pouring into other In the magic handprint, the energy gathered in the handprint has also quickly increased to the limit, and it emits a dazzling light. It seems that the energy in the handprint may rush out at any time.

Originally, after Leo's whereabouts were discovered, he planned to come out of the hiding place to show his identity in front of the intelligent creatures in this world, but when he saw that the leader of those intelligent creatures was planning to do something, he gave up the idea of ​​coming out , but stood still, continuing to expose his position in the energy wave, waiting for the opponent's attack.

About ten seconds later, the energy concentrated in the magic handprint of the humanoid leader seemed to reach a critical point, and then he heard the leader roar loudly, and the guards in front of the leader immediately stepped aside, and at the same time Remove the front shield.

A ray of light spewed out from the leader's hand like the energy cannon of a battleship, and rushed straight to Leo's position. Everything in front of the ray, from vegetation to stones, was gasified or crushed into powder. Almost in the blink of an eye, he came to Leo.

Facing such a powerful energy beam, all Leo did was reach out and block the energy beam, just like blocking the beam of a flashlight with his hand, he easily blocked it, but at the same time he did not block it. Instead of dispersing the energy beams, he used the gravity technique he had mastered in the past six months to continuously compress the energy beams that fell into his hands.

After more than ten seconds, after all the energy beams condensed by the humanoid creatures were shot out, Leo's palm had already condensed these energy beams into an egg-sized energy cluster, which was suspended in the air, and because the energy beams cleared the Any obstacles in front of him, the moment the energy beam disappeared, his whole body was completely exposed in front of those humanoid intelligent creatures.

The moment those humanoid intelligent creatures saw Leo, they all let out exclamations one after another, and they were all chanting a word in the exclamation.

At first, Leo thought that the words chanted by those human-like intelligent creatures might be words like monsters, because in his opinion, it was like normal people would think they saw monsters when they saw these human-like intelligent creatures. Human-like intelligence Creatures will also think that humans are monsters when they see humans like Leo.

But soon he discovered that his guess might be wrong, because the expressions on the faces of those humanoid intelligent creatures, the look in their eyes, and their tone of voice did not seem to be calling some horrible monsters, but rather It’s as if they’re calling for someone to worship. Although these people’s worship emotions are not as extreme as the worship of gods by believers in religions, they are also beyond ordinary worship objects. Some of them seem to be calling heroes. people.

Leo, who didn't feel obvious hostility, walked towards those humanoid creatures, and as he approached, those humanoid creatures gradually quieted down, and each of them looked at Leo nervously, or rather Look at the energy group condensed in Leo's hands.

Although these humanoid creatures are not as easy to perceive the strength of certain energies as Leo is, they can still rely on analysis and judgment to know how dangerous the energy cluster that Leo randomly puts in their hands is. It's hard not to be nervous.

I don't know if it's because of nervousness or other reasons, these humanoid creatures have broken away from the inexplicable admiration just now, and began to calm down, especially the humanoid intelligence leader. biology.

"Stop, Creator." Just when Leo came to a position about ten meters away from them, a mechanical voice was transmitted directly to Leo's mind, saying that the sound was not appropriate, it was more like It is an open thought wave, and what is conveyed is not something mysterious, it is just a sentence or an idea similar to words.

In the past six months, Leo has used the same method to transmit information to Sylvia. Although it is transmitted directly through soul consciousness, and this is transmitted through energy waves, there is no difference in the core method, so Lei After passively accepting this method of information transmission, Ou immediately knew how to use this method.

So, according to the method he mastered, he sent a thought wave, saying: "Creator, are you talking about me?"

Because this thought wave did not designate a specific target, all the humanoid creatures in front of Leo passively accepted this thought wave, and when they heard Leo's rhetorical question, they all froze in unison and looked at Leo's eyes became a little weird, and he seemed to be less admiring and respectful.

"It turned out to be the Forgotten One," the humanoid creature at the head gave Leo another nickname, and continued: "According to the law of the holy capital, you are eligible to go to Sky City, but we need to perform spiritual rituals now, so Please wait on the side for a while, after the ceremony is over, we will take you to Sky City."

Although it was just a sentence, Leo was able to get a lot of information from it. First of all, these humanoid creatures obviously regarded him as other people. These people should also be human beings, which means that this world has civilization built by humans , and those human beings seem to be divided into two levels by these humanoid creatures, one is called creators, these are highly respected by humanoid creatures, and they should also have certain privileges, while the other is called Forgotten, this Human beings should have the same appearance as human beings, and they also have some powers in these humanoid creatures, such as being able to enter the sky city and watching the ceremony, but judging from various signs, this kind of power should be more due to Leo's display power, not their voluntary grant.

It is not difficult to hear from the name that the human named creator is likely to be related to the origin of these humanoid creatures, that is to say, these humanoid creatures are probably not naturally produced, but the human named creator through certain technologies Man-made living organisms.

This kind of artificial interference to create intelligent life forms is a taboo law in the civilization of the universe. No matter what civilization touches it, it will inevitably face a severe blow from the Supreme Council of the universe. This kind of blow may even make this civilization die out completely. .

But there are no perfect rules in the world, and even the taboo rules have some loopholes, and many civilizations in the universe who are proficient in biotechnology rely on this loophole to create some subsidiary life forms, and there are many signs that the development of earth civilization also has flaws. There are traces of alien civilization interference, and the Earth Federation also has this kind of technology, so Leo is not surprised at all to analyze that humans have created a powerful group of intelligent life forms.

Although Leo analyzed the information revealed in the humanoid creature's words in his mind, his body still responded to the proposal of the humanoid creature leader, and he directly withdrew a certain distance, showing that he was just a bystander attitude, and then silently watched these people perform the ceremony.

The ceremony that was interrupted by Leo's appearance had to be restarted, but the guards did not participate in the ceremony, but still guarded the clansmen performing the ceremony with shields and spears.

Although a few people were missing to join, the effect of the ceremony did not weaken because of this, and the same energy wave as before was generated again and spread to the surrounding area, covering the surrounding area.

Just after the speed of the energy wave reached a certain frequency, the leading humanoid creature immediately took off its clothes, then held up a vessel filled with a mysterious liquid, and poured the liquid on itself from scratch , and those liquids were continuously absorbed by his skin during the process of flowing from his head, not a single drop of liquid could flow smoothly to the ground.

While the body of the humanoid leader absorbed the liquid, the surrounding energy wave instantly collapsed with his body as the core, and all his eyes became pitch black, and even the surrounding light was approaching his eyes. The part also produced a distorted effect, as if his eyes had become black holes, and some blood vessel-like things extended from the skin at the corners of his eyes, spreading little by little, and finally spread to his whole body, making his There is an extra layer of blood-red patterns on the surface of the body.

The moment the pattern covered the whole body of the humanoid leader, the humanoid leader stopped all rituals, stood up, and walked towards the footprint of the giant in the ruins ahead. Those followers or other identities behind him The followers immediately chanted some scriptures or mantras with a higher voice.

In the blink of an eye, the humanoid creature came to the side of the footprints, and the surrounding gravity increased several times, so that the leader of the humanoid creature lost his relaxed expression, and drops of sweat appeared on his forehead Drops, and the sweat was immediately evaporated by the hot air around it as soon as it came out.

Looking at the footprints full of strong gravity in front of her, the humanoid leader showed more or less worry and fear on her face, but she finally suppressed all the negative emotions in her heart and walked into the footprints resolutely .

Before entering the footprints, the humanoid leader was able to counteract the surrounding gravity by concentrating everyone's strength, but within the range of the footprints, the surrounding gravity suddenly increased by hundreds or thousands of times. Such a strong gravity has already It exceeded the physical tolerance of the humanoid leader, and also exceeded the defense limit of the external forces concentrated in his body. In an instant, the humanoid leader was crushed into a meat ball and hit the ground. , rolled a bit, and then embedded in the soil that had been repeatedly compacted by gravity on the ground.

The death of the leader of the humanoid creature was completely beyond Leo's expectations. If he had known in advance, he would have saved him, because the leader of the humanoid creature was a bridge for him to contact this special alien civilization. When the bridge collapsed, he needed to find a suitable contact among these people again.

However, what made Leo feel strange was the reaction of those humanoid creatures. According to the normal situation, the sudden death of the leader would definitely cause the surprise and panic of those followers, but the other humanoid creatures seemed to be aware of the leader's death early. As expected, there was no mood swing at all, and he was always chanting some prayers and the like, and this also made Leo suspect that the death of the leader might be part of the ceremony.

As those humanoid creatures stood up from the ground one by one, holding up various utensils, as if they had entered a primitive shaman ritual state, dancing and shaking their bodies, complex energy waves flowed from them Projected from the vessel in his hand, it drew an arc in the air and landed on the fleshy mass formed by the leader of the humanoid creature that hit the ground. The fleshy mass immediately emitted a dazzling light and was suspended under the effect of the surrounding strong gravity. Get up, and then slowly move out of the footprints.

When the meat ball moved out of the footprints, strips of meat-like tentacles extended from the meat ball, and then intertwined with each other at a speed visible to the naked eye to form a humanoid body. Following these tentacles, they began to expand and fuse, and finally returned to the shape that was previously formed. The humanoid leader crushed into a meat ball by super gravity, but compared to just now, the humanoid leader at this moment seems to be blind with two pairs of eyes, but there is an extra spherical crystal emitting gravity waves in his hand .
