Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"That kind of power makes me feel fear from the depths of my soul..."

Aljieka whispered as if she was praying.

Cheng Shen calmed down after a moment's shock. After all, this was not the first time he had faced something strange, but this time the curse of the deep sea broke out too suddenly.

Was it stimulated by dark energy?

Or has it reached its limit?

He did not easily lean toward the former inference because of his own experiences.

After all, before this departure, the deep sea curse in his body showed signs of losing control.

pity.

The legendary talent he was so proud of was still too powerless when faced with an incomprehensible existence like Weirdness.

He looks within himself.

The only good news at the moment is that he solved this outbreak with just one prepared plan in advance.

Rather than being forced to use other methods that were completely beyond his control.

However, whether he was temporarily freed from the curse of the deep sea or whether it had been completely resolved still needed to be verified by further dreaming.

Cheng Shen was about to adjust his mental fluctuations to hypnotize himself. When he heard Aljieka's words, he adjusted his mood slightly.

Asked: "There is no record of the curse in your memory?"

"curse……?"

Aljieka spat out the word with some confusion, then shook her head and said bluntly:

"Aljieka is translated as 'the incarnation of the stars' in the language of the stars. If the stars do not fall, no matter how severely traumatized he is, he will continue to wake up in the long river of destiny, and I am the only one at this point in time.

."

She first explained her origins.

Then he said: "The Temple of the Stars suffered a catastrophe in ancient times. Maybe the last time I fell was earlier than the birth of this terrible power. There is no record in my memory."

"Why do the stars destroy?"

Cheng Shen asked curiously.

"..."

Aljieka was lost in thought, her long eyebrows tangled together.

"All things return to silence."

It was like she suddenly thought of something.

"Life has a beginning and an end, and the same is true for the world. Although the existence of the world is an ultimate cycle that encompasses all things, eternal life does not mean eternity. The world also has an end."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle alternates. The temple of stars is destroyed with the death of the previous world. I am ushered in a new life with the new world."

She said slowly.

"..."

Cheng Shen frowned and tried to understand what she said.

Having been influenced by modern culture and having read many online novels, it is not difficult for him to understand the meaning contained in this passage.

There are similar settings in many science fiction or other types of works.

That is, the universe has reached saturation and ushered in a great cleansing by the Supreme Will.

This setting was originally based on modern scientific theories, namely the theory of the Big Bang and the end of the life of the universe.

Of course, it may also be influenced by the creation and destruction myths described by gods in some religions.

If you follow this explanation.

Wouldn't it mean that this chaotic world is just a new universe that has just undergone a cleansing, or was born in the Big Bang?

But……

What impact does this have on him?

Shaking his head, Cheng Shen still didn't get the answer he wanted.

Weird.

What kind of existence is it?

He closed his eyes, the condensed mental power slowly trembled at a gentle frequency, and his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

soon.

Cheng Shen once again felt like he was enveloped in coldness and dampness.

His cloudy and white eyes gradually gained expression. He was surrounded by endless floating corpses like a wave. Following the inexplicable call from the bottom of his heart, he slowly sank into the deep sea and fell towards the deep and silent seabed...

"call……!"

The moment Cheng Shen regained consciousness, he forcefully woke himself up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Aljieka and the soldiers were far away from him, looking at him with awe in their eyes.

After lightly sniffing the fishy smell all over his body, Cheng Shen's mood couldn't be said to be good, but it couldn't be said to be too bad either.

"How long have I been asleep?"

he asked.

"One hour and forty minutes."

Aljieka replied.

"really……"

Cheng Shen nodded, and flames rose from his body, automatically drying the wet clothes, while the seawater accumulated under him slowly seeped into the ground.

Conventional magic cannot destroy the seawater containing strange power, but fortunately, this seawater seems to be unable to exist independently, and will melt when it comes into contact with the soil. The deep sea water brought when using the parchment will also quickly seep into the surface.

And he used his innate ability to carefully investigate where these cursed substances ended up, only to find that seawater would seep into the depths of the earth's surface.

Until he can't detect the distance.

Fortunately, they have little impact on the environment... In other words, the fact that this world is so dead is the most terrible damage they have caused.

Cheng Shen has never paid attention to this problem.

The curse of the deep sea has not been completely removed, which is indeed depressing news. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared in advance.

Although it is not solved.

But the corrosive influence of the curse has returned to its original extent.

It has to be said that it is also excellent news, which provides him with a strong support to stabilize his own situation.

Calculated by time.

The curse of the deep sea will completely break out in about three or four days.

But now that he has experience in dealing with it, he only needs to ensure that he uses the soul-killing blade to clean up every time it breaks out.

Don't talk about solving it.

At the very least, he no longer has to worry about the curse of the deep sea threatening his life before the Soul Exorcist Blade loses control.

"The Soul-Destroying Blade..."

Cheng Shen suddenly remembered that this cursed object had been abandoned by him in the ruins, and immediately asked: "Have you ever entered the ruins during this time?"

"No, sir."

Da Meng looked a little embarrassed.

He thought Cheng Shen was questioning whether they had carried out the spoils of exploration.

But after seeing the weird horror, they didn't have the courage to step into the ruins again.

"It's fine if you don't."

Cheng Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, he just took one look at the female corpse emerging from the well, and was struck by the attack without any warning.

It is difficult to guarantee whether the curse has spread to others when it broke out.

After confirming this, Cheng Shen was still worried. After returning, he carefully checked the status of each soldier. If he was careless and caused the deep sea curse to break out in the territory, he would lose a lot of money.

Subconsciously, Cheng Shen connected to the scout guard, only to find that its view was still pitch black.

Then I remembered that it was still trapped in the magic circle.

Cheng Shen had no choice but to switch forms and return to the ruins alone. From a distance, he saw a rising cloud of gray dust. It was the strange substance produced by the burning of the Soul Exorcist Blade, and it was still a curse in nature.

Cheng Shen watched as the ashes rose straight into the sky and submerged into the clouds, seeming to make the heavy leaden clouds hanging down even darker.

"The strange power affects the activity of natural elements, and according to Aljieka's words, it interferes with part of the circulatory system of this world, so that all things can only face death, without the process of birth.

But the weirdness has not completely assimilated the entire world, causing this place to completely degenerate into a silent death realm..."

Cheng Shen murmured to himself.

After he actually felt the strangeness erupting inside his body, he couldn't help but wonder about this phenomenon.

To him.

The erosion of dark energy is already irresistible and terrifying.

Once infected, you can only give up part of your body, or use strong will to suppress the outburst of negative emotions, and become a rational, deformed monster.

And the strange erosion is more domineering than the dark energy.

Still unable to understand.

At that moment, not only was his flesh and blood body instantly assimilated into a strange substance, but also 90% of the blood energy in his body and the dark energy that was corrupting him were assimilated by the strange force without any resistance.

Fortunately, he escaped before being completely assimilated and avoided the contamination of his mental power.

The blood energy comes from his heart core.

However, in the bright red form, his core can be any part, and there is no weakness in the true sense.

As long as a drop of blood survives, it can return to its original level.

Otherwise, if it were other people or other professions, even if they could solve the strange outbreak in this way, they would still face a permanent drop in attributes.

But this just shows.

The strange power can completely assimilate all known energy!

So, why does this world still exist? Is there still an environment for human beings to survive? Are there still crops that rely on elemental energy to grow?

Countless questions popped up in Cheng Shen's mind.

Could it be that the objects of strange assimilation are still selective, and they will not actively destroy the foundation of this world?

But this way.

Their irrational reasoning must be completely overturned...

The final conclusion derived from this is to prove that Weirdness is also a unique life form!

This possibility is too terrifying.

Cheng Shen shook his head. Unless he had personally witnessed something weird that could communicate rationally, he would never be inclined to this kind of speculation.

If Weird had reason, the survivors would have no chance of survival.

The so-called killing rules will become a ridiculous, even a form of entertainment directed and performed by them.

The whole world will be a game place created by them!

So.

What's the point of his efforts?!

Doubting this is tantamount to denying the value of his existence. Cheng Shen will not believe anything he says.

He quickly made other speculations based on the existing information. What factors caused the energy in his body to be assimilated, while the elemental energy in the outside world was not affected?

Life structure?

Spiritual awareness?

This may be tested experimentally...

Cheng Shen's eyes flickered, but he was still worried in his heart. What if these two factors were not the key to the intensification of the strange power...

Then there must be other important factors that he doesn't understand!

soon.

He then approached the place where the strange outbreak occurred before.

The two strange forces on the ground are still confronting each other. Half of a golden dagger is faintly exposed in the black blood shrouded in white flames, and pale and cold faces have emerged from the turbid and smelly sea water.

Originally, the power of man-made cursed objects would be much weaker if no one was holding them.

It's impossible to fight against a complete weirdo.

However, the blood separated by Cheng Shen contains his blood energy, which is equivalent to him holding the soul-killing blade. Before that part of the blood is burned out, the power of the soul-killing blade will be maximized.

and.

The curse of the deep sea does not seem to have the most terrifying power.

What appeared in the seawater were just ordinary floating corpses sunk in the seawater. There was no existence at the bottom level like the female corpse.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but remain silent.

This is undoubtedly because the source of the curse is still in his body...

Under the ebb and flow, the curse of the Exorcist Blade even suppressed the sea water, and the white flame burned more and more vigorously! A red face was faintly condensed on the surface of the dagger, like a burning ghost face.

"The power of the curse sealed in the Soul Exorcist Blade is growing..."

Cheng Shen's face was solemn.

Weird things seem to have the ability to grow infinitely. Even if they are heavily sealed in star gold, their effects cannot be completely limited!

Just like parchment rolls.

It's just that the forging of the Soul Exorcist Blade is more perfect and the sealing effect is stronger, but even so, it will one day grow beyond limits!

It is constantly devouring the power of the deep sea curse at this moment!

"Can't let it continue!"

Cheng Shen said firmly. Immediately, he quickly sketched the runes, and the surrounding elements rushed toward him crazily, converging into a thunder gun surrounded by electric light.

Whoosh!

He held the thunder gun and threw it with the most violent force.

boom!

The thunder gun exploded when it approached the point where the two strange forces met and burned.

Countless purple electric snakes danced wildly, instantly covering the surrounding area into a field of thunder and lightning.

A powerful shock wave swept across the ground like a strong wind!

When the raging Thunder Snake came into contact with the two strange powers, it was directly annihilated, as if it had never existed.

However, the physical shock wave generated by the explosion of the thunder gun has a great impact on the environment around them.

A layer of the ground was scraped off, and the soil mixed with gravel was violently lifted up, and the two pools of liquid gathered on the ground were forcibly blown away!

Dang!

The Exorcist Blade was hit by a piece of thrown gravel, and immediately flew high into the sky, breaking away from the blood package. The white flames covering its surface slowly extinguished, and then, it was smoothly caught in the hand of a hand.

laugh……!

The hot metal dagger immediately burned the palm of Cheng Shen's hand to a crisp, and he put it back into his backpack without changing his expression.

Turn around and look.

Countless fragments were scattered in the turbid liquid on the ground, each reflecting a pale face, staring at him from various perspectives.

His eyes were cold and lifeless.

There were also floating corpses struggling to climb out of the seawater and come towards him, but soon they disappeared as the seawater seeped into the surface.

"Huh?"

Cheng Shen was already ready to escape.

He only took action to ensure that the cursed object of the Soul Exorcist Blade would not get out of control. After all, it would still be needed if the deep sea curse broke out in the future.

As for how to solve the remaining deep sea curse.

Still under further consideration.

But the worst thing is to use the Order Hub in your hand, cover it within the territory, and then suppress it through bonfires.

Unexpectedly, they disappeared on their own.

This surprised him a little.

This part of the deep sea curse was caused by a strange explosion in his body, but it seemed that the power was not strong enough to appear alone.

Could it be.

Are there certain restrictions on the conditions for the formation of the deep sea curse?
