Wasteland Echoer

"However, your arrival also proves another thing. Your Majesty, it's time to wake up." Augustus smiled:

"When he successfully escapes from his long slumber, the most elite imperial warriors and the smartest scientist elites who are sleeping together in the deepest part of this place, that is, the 'lowest bottom', will wake up simultaneously and drive the unsuccessfully invented machine that was invented that year. Scientific and technological equipment, rebuild the 'newly constructed' 'Federation' belonging to mankind in these ruins."

"All this sounds like a conspiracy anyway, not your so-called high-sounding explanation." "Future" suppressed the impulse caused by anger and said in a sharp tone:

"Human beings, as intelligent creatures, should be able to realize that no matter in any group, in any ecology, or even in any planet, there are strong and weak. Even if all the weak disappear, this hierarchy will still exist. Because, New weaklings will be differentiated among the strong, becoming objects worth protecting or being bullied.

"I guess that Ivan XXII was afraid that after the demise of the old empire, elites and powerful warriors would fall one after another, and the Krusted people would become ignorant and cowardly, and they would not recover, and they would be further and further away from the future era he fantasized about.

“But in fact, without those seemingly humble and cowardly people with no wisdom or ability who contribute their seemingly insignificant strength in the most basic factories and the most difficult front lines, any magnificent achievements of Ivan XXII would not be possible. There is no possibility of implementation of the plan.”

"absurd!"

"No, this is a fact." "Future" interrupted Augustus' angry words and continued:

"Wise men who yearn for the stars and the universe can naturally go through painful transformations and enter the vast space, and continue to live in more exciting places. And those who originally yearn for tranquility and peace, stay on this beautiful planet, the sun rises Working, resting at sunset, the cycle repeats. As long as they are working, there is no fault.

"Why, he wants to set off a disaster for most innocent people. You should know that for ordinary people without magic power and firm will, the 'Heartless Man Virus' will either bring physical death and endless The war will either bring extreme and transcendent spiritual pain, and become a...'monster' that is separated between the world of humans and the 'Heartless Man', unable to be completely crazy, and difficult to be completely accepted.

"If it is necessary to trigger a wave of overall evolution or sublimation at the cost of countless people's pain and death, then... I would like to personally ask the emperor who may be revived, isn't he afraid of the gods? Lower the penalty?"

"He doesn't believe in gods. He even thinks that the existence of gods is just myths and legends. He has never seen any of them with his own eyes." Augustus retorted, but his tone was obviously weaker than before.

"It is true that gods rarely show their true bodies, because if they want to bless or punish, they only need to flick the switch of cause and effect, and everything will have a chain reaction like a domino mechanism until the end. Augustus General, maybe the purpose of Luo Ka and I should change." "Future" said, his eyes slightly closed, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you want to do?" Augustus noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward and advised:

"If you don't want to continue to suffer, His Majesty the Emperor may allow you to stay in this alien plane forever. You can create any food you need as long as you give up your body..."

boom! Bang bang!

Before Augustus could finish speaking, the gun in "Future"'s hand was pulled three times in succession.

Two of the bullets penetrated Augustus' frightened face, while the other one was infused with dark magic power and hit a group of souls that instantly turned black.

As if two invisible big hands appeared, they tore Augustus's soul into two irregular halves straight from the middle. Under the surge of magic power, it transformed into wisps of dark purple sparks, which burst from the open door. The water gushes out from the window, blending in with the blue sky outside.

After doing all this, "Future" threw away the pistol, panted heavily, and slid to the ground against the wall by the window, with fear in his eyes.

The action of attacking Augustus just now was indeed a big gamble by "Future". He was betting that Augustus' soul and body were not contaminated, or that some attack or self-destruction device was placed by Ivan XXII. .

Facts have proved that the information he obtained from Augustus through dialogue and observation is correct. The greatest role of this soul body that has survived for hundreds of years is to explain Ivan XXII's "New Life" to the warriors who can reach here. "Construction Plan" general plan information.

And try their best to persuade them to accept the so-called ideas of His Majesty Emperor Ivan, understand his deductions and actions in the Steam Age, and his so-called "benefit mankind" plan to destroy the world and rebuild it.

Looking at the skull pattern made of dust left behind after Augustus' soul body completely dissipated before him, "Future" has never felt such intense tension since he became a lost person.

He was not sure whether this swelling of emotions was the gradual recovery and awakening of the human part of his body, or whether it was a mental illusion caused by the remaining "sad".

But he can be sure that even in the past battles with the federal army, or in the internal meetings of the "Order Society" where the power struggle was complicated, and even in the previous several trips to the desolate and crisis-ridden arctic realm of the North, he had never felt anything in his heart. So choppy.

It wasn't until the black dust began to burn inside, spreading out colorful ripples, and began to burn the furniture in this ancient, gorgeous villa, that he regained control of his spirit, and with the help of Luo Ka He pushed open the arched door and walked into the courtyard.

Soon, the undead-like green and purple karma fire rose up, and a stream of pure black smoke that twisted and tore the body like a devil poured out, straight into the sky that was already covered with dark clouds.

Under the crackling sound, rings composed of pure green light spots spread out in mid-air. Looking at Luo Ka, the grass and trees in the spreading places withered one after another, the farmland turned into hot lava, and the windmill stopped running. , degenerated into a water pump made of broken steel, as if pouring hot things from hell into this rapidly distorting space.

The country road that was originally made of stones has turned into a hollow metal plate that will fall if you are not careful. The lake in the distance has become a frozen existence, reflecting the unique crimson color of this world.

Looking up, the scorching sun turned into a crimson moon. The blazing country house spit out fiery red cannonballs upwards, exploding when it reached a height that humans could not reach, forming a magnificent but dangerous firework, as if in the sky. Showing a tragic picture from the future for the "future" choice.

"I'm afraid this space has begun to collapse." "Future" lamented:

"I am certain that this place used to be a dragon realm. The picture the soul saw in the first place and the scene when we came in are consistent with the descriptions from Khitan Reese."

"Then why did it become like this, a... terrible scene in the underworld? Is it possible that there really is a trapped evil dragon here, churning out lava?" Luo Ka subconsciously held the arm of "Future" and asked .

"I don't think so." "Future" shook his head and said:

"The dragon's soul may have disappeared long ago. Maybe time has erased its existence. Maybe... Ivan 22 can tell us the answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, not far in front of "Future" and Luo Ka, several dirty mechanical arms stretched out from under the sparkling hollow metal plate. They picked up the same dilapidated pieces from the lava piece by piece. The metal blocks were placed on the metal plates and within a few minutes, a door frame was assembled.

Immediately afterwards, one of the mechanical arms lit a flame against the door frame. Soon, the raging fire covered the entire area where the door frame was located, forming a flame portal that transported out of this alien space.

However, when all the mechanical arms broke off and fell into the lava, iron chains suddenly stretched out from the four corners of the portal to seal the door. Surrounded by lava and flames, a large metal lock with a sunken interior was formed in the center.

"This door seems to be the key to leaving here, but it is locked now. 'Future', do you know where we should find the key?" Lorca asked, pointing to the portal.

If it is before entering the "Bitter Relics", the "future" may have to use magic power to detect abnormal fluctuations in the surroundings, and then judge based on experience whether it can force a breakthrough or construct a new "jump array".

But now, with the [Explorer] profession, he has gradually and consciously mastered the profession-specific "adventure cracking" after destroying the soul of Augustus, and under the constant catalysis of fighting and "sorrow" in the "Bitter Ruins" "ability.

This ability will give him the ability to spontaneously integrate all the information he has acquired when encountering difficulties in his adventure journey, and to transmit energy to different time dimensions in a limited manner to receive feedback.

In other words, the magic power of the "future" can briefly cross time and space in a difficult situation to find a real way to solve the difficult situation.

Therefore, when the dark magic source power in his hand flashed several times, "Future" breathed a sigh of relief and took out the "Zhuo Gen Zhihuo" emblem he had previously obtained from the palace where the coffin existed. Put the side with the ancient Chinese character "Death" engraved on it into the lock.

As the coat of arms cracked and energy poured in, the iron chains retreated to all sides. The metal lock suddenly fell to the ground, and was picked up by the metal arm that suddenly rushed out and sent back into the lava.

Seeing this, "Future" breathed a sigh of relief. The [Explorer's] professional acumen told him that behind the door would be the last dimension in the "Brushing Ruins". They would face the originator of the wasteland world, Yi. Fan is twenty-two years old.

Without saying a word, "Future" took Luo Ka's arm and stepped through the teleportation door burning with blazing flames.
