Wasteland Echoer

"What trial?" "Future" asked curiously.

"Soon you will know, the poor lost one with 'divine nature'." Achaimedea said in a high, strange and long tone.

Immediately afterwards, she jumped forward from the edge of the cliff in front of "Future".

What "Future" didn't expect was that Archimedes did not fall on the rocks or the beach, but walked steadily in the air, as if there was not nothing there, but a transparent building made of strange power. It is generally formed as a bridge that cannot be seen through.

Turning his head sharply, "Future" suddenly took a breath of cold air.

The rock that had just briefly fallen to the ground without any movement seemed to have lost its gravity at this moment, rising into the air without being subject to gravity. Like a crow hovering over the dead, it continued to emit a shrill "chirp" unique to metal. "Sound", as well as the unique dull sound made by the collision of stones.

"These stones are the concrete products of the 'Sequence Core', 'Future'. With the knowledge stored in my brain, you should know that the 'Sequence Core' is a conceptual product from beginning to end. Human beings and ordinary demons The owner of the source power cannot peek into its true appearance in any way." Archimedes stood in the air, exposing his white feet, stepping steadily on the seemingly empty "bridge", with his back facing the sudden rise. Blue Moon popularizes science in the "future".

"Indeed, this seems to be a 'principle' set by the Creator. Even after thousands of years, those seemingly absurd ancient principles have never changed. Even our understanding of them has remained unchanged forever." "Future" raised his head, looked up at Archimedes and said:

"I remember that the definition of the preface core is the same whether it is in the ancient "Holy Word", the "Magic Source Power Cultivation Manual" in the Steam Age, or the "Dictionary of Extraordinary Power" revised by the Cruzeid Federation.

"That is: the mark that demarcates the level of magic source power, the cornerstone of using magic source power, is the key to the promotion of magic source power users. Human beings are born with the 'wisdom' sequence core, and the 'inspiration' and 'pain' sequence cores can It is generated by the accumulation of magic power or painful experiences."

Archimedes nodded slightly, took over "Future"'s words and said:

"The remaining three sequence cores cannot be produced independently, and even if one uses the magic source power to perfection, they cannot be obtained. If you want to obtain the 'hope', 'fight' and 'abandon' sequence cores, you need to have the experience of facing death. , and be inspired by the sequential gods or watered by the power of the gods.

"The way to obtain the 'confused' sequence core is the most difficult, because it is the last journey on the road to demigods for users of magic source power. The acquirer will break away from the shackles of the human body and enter the demigod realm in a very short period of time. Or he couldn't bear the force and exploded and died, so there are no more records."

"But..." "Future" took over Achaimedea's words and continued:

"The Sequence Core is both an entity and an illusory thing. Anyone who obtains a Void Core will clearly realize that their magic source power has been improved. They may also see vague or clear images of the Sequence Core in hallucinations, but they are never able to Visualize it.

"Only through the power of gods can humans have a glimpse of its beauty. However, the sequence core is an extraordinary and terrifying thing. Once someone really sees its appearance, even a little bit, its soul will be torn apart in an instant. , either death or madness, it is something that cannot be seen, right, Lord Achametea..."

"Your knowledge reserve really surprises me..." Archimedea showed a scary vampire-like smile under the moonlight and said:

"But in the 'Zhongji Realm', you can see the real sequence core without relying on the power of gods. Because this is not a dream, nor is it real. The most important thing is that the creator of this place is me. Although I am He is an incarnation of one of the billions of consciousnesses, but also possesses some powers equal to Him.

"'Future', you know, the fate of people with 'divine nature' is extremely bumpy. You all have the mission given by the creator and gods, either 'destruction' or 'save'."

"I understand." "Future" nodded solemnly in response.

"But you are not the only person with 'divine nature'. I can tell you responsibly that your 'divine nature' comes from the great Creator, so you will never do anything destructive, but will work to reconstruct this poor world." The sad [order] of the world consumes the last drop of lamp oil in life." Achaimedea turned to say in a gentle voice:

"You may have noticed that you are not the only one who possesses 'divine nature'. The bear-like figure Wofya who is now entering the 'Belunay Regional Development Committee Directly Managed Hotel' with you is also a possessor. A person with divinity, and the poor boy Dak who has been trapped in reincarnation and has always longed to see the "Echoer" also possesses "divinity", including the "Echoer" you call him, as well.

"'Divinity' is like 'water' located in different zones. Some are streams, in which there is only oxygen released by tiny microorganisms and single-celled organisms, and at most there is a little bit of invisible minerals mixed in.

"And some are water that flows through soil, deserts and saline-alkali lands along with the river water, and finally gathers in the sea. They are no longer as clear as they were originally, but are mixed with sand and gravel particles, plankton, and a large amount of seaweed. The oxygen released, the dust incorporated by submarine volcanic eruptions, and various minute elemental molecules.”

"You want to say that some people's 'divine nature' is pure, so they will be kind, while some people's 'divine nature' is complicated, so they will go evil, so I should avoid being polluted and stick to my true heart. "Future" asked.

"No." Achametea shook her head and said with a sad expression:

"Those who have accumulated a lot of experience and accumulated 'divine nature' will often integrate the power of each user's bloodline. Some 'divine nature' is owned by the family, while some 'divine nature' is inherited by relying on a certain power. Therefore, complex 'divinity' often means power, while 'pure' 'divinity' often means tragedy and weakness.

“For example, water in streams can be drank almost directly, but water in the sea requires thousands of years of research, difficult-to-find methods, and complex procedures for distillation before it can finally be drunk.

"Drinkable water is a necessity for human survival. The process of drinking water is nothing more than the process of continuation of life. Whether it is fish or birds, beasts or humans, they all need water sources to continue their lives. Only in this way can crops grow on the earth and wasteland can be transformed into Cities have become cities and the oceans are busy, so that the entire planet will not become dead."

"I understand, sir." "Future" felt that the indescribable layer of dust that had lingered in the spiritual realm since he became a lost person was suddenly blown away. His consciousness instantly became transparent and clear, and his eyes sparkled. A ray of light called "wisdom" passed by, and after a brief moment of sluggishness, "Future" suddenly said:

"It is precisely because my 'divine nature' is too 'pure', that is, too weak. That's why you pulled me into the 'Zhongni Realm' and tried to let me explore my true potential. Because, no matter what I want to do with those To be with people with 'complex' divinity or to fight against them requires strong strength, and now, you don't think I have this kind of power."

"Smart, 'Future', I originally thought it would take you longer to understand this. Unexpectedly, with just my words, you reached the state of enlightenment. Touch your heart. Now, you Finally, I have the new 'heart' that the lost ones dream of."

"Future" moved toward his chest, and he was surprised to find that his heart was beating as powerfully as a motor with sufficient energy, and it was no longer as hot and anxious as before.

Slightly opening the collar, "Future" noticed that his chest no longer exposed a heart that glowed blue or red like the Lost One, but instead had a white, white heart like a normal human being. Tender skin, and slightly muscular muscles with sharp edges underneath.

Those ugly blood vessels that glowed dark black like monsters, were exposed, and seemed to be about to explode. They were replaced by normal human blood vessels displayed by a toned man.

Seeing this situation, "Future" was surprised and surprised and asked:

"Have I... turned back into a human after having a new 'heart'?"

"It's not..." Achimedea shook her head and said:

"The transformation of human beings into lost ones is a one-way street, and almost no power can change it, including the Creator. It's just that the lost ones are closer to gods. Obtaining the 'heart' of the lost ones means that you get rid of becoming" The possibility of alien monsters is just one step closer to the path to godhood.

"But this step is neither big nor small. If your power is too weak, you will be swayed by illusions and delusions again if you are not careful, and become a wailing soul in the underworld. So, next, , I want to test the true power you currently possess," Archimedes said.

Soon, "Future" smelled an uneasy aura of something rotten and dilapidated. Bright electric arcs began to shine in the dark clouds, and countless insane black shadows began to surround it.

Looking up again, Archimedes' body seemed to have expanded in a circle. The white gauze scarves on her body fell off one after another, and her entire body turned into a half-machine, half-snake creature.

The upper body, including the head and chest, turned into a mysterious machine composed of gears and steel frames, but they were all covered with a layer of brown rust and traces of time; while the legs of the lower body had long since disappeared, replaced by It is a giant snake-shaped tail covered with a layer of black and green striped scales.

Archimedes was constantly reciting high-pitched and strange Mandarin incantations. If he was a weak-willed person, he would have gone insane, had a fever, and fainted from the tormenting fear.

But the "Future" who possesses "divine nature" will not be knocked down by madness. He surges up the dark magic power in his body, and touches the mark containing the power of darkness on his forehead with the fingertips of his right hand, preparing to resist.

However, what he didn't expect was that it was not Achaedea himself who attacked him, but those who had already surrounded his head - the embodied "sequence core".
