"You mean the source? What is the source? I don't know. It's probably trying to trick us. <
So that's how it is. Then should we try to trick it too? "
Two oval-shaped creatures were standing together on a barren desert.
They seemed to be 'talking to themselves', but also seemed to be talking to someone else …
"Yes, it's trying to contact something. That thing called the Dust Crocodile, but it can't. We can hear it, but it's not answering us. It's still trying to contact us. I think it's stupid. It should be bitten to death. Yes, it should be bitten to death. "
"… …"
Lin was paying attention to the situation here, and she was communicating with the two brain-created monsters.
Now, they were in the same situation. This tree-like thing … was the source of Lin's signal, and also … the 'god' that had been communicating with the Dust Crocodile.
When the brain-created monsters came here, they also received the 'god's' signal, but they said that the god ignored them and kept trying to contact the Dust Crocodile.
What was this' god '? Lin investigated a little. Lin believed that it wasn't a creature in the pipeline.
It was actually very far away from here … It had a purpose to contact this place.
In any case, it was interesting to continue observing because this pipeline was clearly not as simple as an abandoned construction site. There were many … complicated things inside.
… … …
Rumble!
This was a dark city, but it was now illuminated quite brightly.
The main reason was … the light of an explosion.
"I can see it so clearly from so far away …"
The Scholar was now … in a place that could be called a 'park'. Like most places that could be called a 'park', this place was filled with plant life.
However, the plants here were a little special. They were purple, blue, black, and other colorful colors, and many of them glowed faintly.
Walking here felt like taking a stroll in a sea of stars. However, no light here could compare to … the light of the explosion in the distance.
The explosion was caused by the weapons piled up in the plaza. Not long ago, the Scholar, the Dust Crocodile, and the Primordial realm left the research facility. They found a way to sneak to the surface, then avoided the three-legged pillar and walked far away.
This was where the park was located. Not long after they arrived, there was a boom … Clearly, the three-legged pillar had detonated the weapons in the plaza.
The power of the explosion spread to the surrounding buildings, but it couldn't reach the park.
The Scholar was climbing up a thick vine-like plant, looking at the explosion in the distance … After the roar, the light slowly dimmed, and finally disappeared completely.
"Looks like the research facility is gone." The Scholar said to the two creatures on the ground below, "The research facility was directly under the explosion, it shouldn't be spared..
"Those damned intruders!" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile said angrily, "They actually … We have to stop them. Otherwise, they will destroy everything here!"
"We Primordial realm's Primordial realm. The Primordial realm expert said, "There are also … many ammunition stores in the city. We can activate them."
"Let's do that! We have to get ahead of them. Let's move quickly! "The Mechanical Dust Crocodile said as it ran. It ran to the exit of the park.
However, he stopped very soon and turned to the Scholar and the Primordial realm, "Why aren't you following?"
"We have some other problems to deal with." The Primordial realm said, "Of the two missiles I told you to shoot earlier, one was destroyed. It might've been intercepted by the three-legged pillar, but the other one hit the target successfully."
"Is that true?" The Dust Crocodile immediately ran back and said, "Then …"
"Then you also know that a single missile won't be able to awaken that … god." The Primordial realm said, "But because of it, we know where god is now."
"Then where is he?" The Dust Crocodile suddenly hesitated before changing his words, "But that doesn't seem to be important. Only the explosion of a missile can awaken him. We still need to activate the weapons."
"That's right. We'll help you with that," said the Primordial realm. The Primordial realm expert said, "Although our objectives are different, what we need to do is the same."
Boom!
The moment the Primordial realm said that, there was a flickering … crystalline aircraft in the sky.
This was the Primordial realm's army, and there was more than one of them. There were six of them in total. They spread out in the sky and flew off in various directions.
"They'll fly to the various arsenals and activate the systems there to shoot the weapons together," said the Primordial realm. "That should be able to awaken him."
"You …" The Dust Crocodile looked at the crystalline aircraft in the sky. He said rather unhappily, "Do you know how to activate our weapons?"
"I don't know everything, but I can learn," said the Primordial realm. "Your control system isn't difficult to learn."
"But you don't need to worry. We won't invade your country," continued the Primordial realm. "We'll leave once we find what we want."
"Really … I hope so." The Dust Crocodile did not trust the Primordial realm very much. However, there was nothing he could do right now. He could only work with the Primordial realm.
Originally, he wanted to activate the weapons everywhere, but he had never thought the Primordial realm would directly send an army to take over this mission.
The Scholar did not have any particular thoughts. Her mission was to observe and explore. In reality, the Scholar did not want to affect anything here, nor did she want to join any … organisation in the exploration.
However, it was very difficult for her to say that she did not want to participate right now, so she decided to follow them for now.
The Primordial realm said, "We'll go to the nearest arsenals and activate them together with our army. We'll shoot the weapons out … That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"… Alright, I understand." The Dust Crocodile was still unwilling, but it followed the floating Primordial realm to the exit of the park.
The Scholar was about to jump down from the vines and follow them when she saw that. However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the surroundings had become as bright as day.
Boom! She turned around and saw a dazzling light in the distant sky. Countless crystalline fragments were sent flying in the explosion, landing in the city.
"What's going on?" The Dust Crocodile and the Primordial realm below turned their heads as well. When they saw this … they were shocked.
"Did an aircraft get blown up?" The Dust Crocodile asked in surprise first. However, there was also a hint of … joy in the surprise.
Clearly, the explosion of the Primordial realm's aircraft made it rather happy. However, it soon saw the culprit behind the explosion, so it was no longer happy.
After the dust from the explosion dispersed, the city remained bright because another source of light had appeared in the sky. It was … the huge creature they had all seen before.
It was the light from Star Condensation.
A huge snake-like body that was close to a kilometer long slithered through the air. It flickered with a resplendent light like the stars as it slowly approached the park.
Because they felt like it might bombard the area, the Scholar, the Primordial realm, and the Dust Crocodile all instinctively fled towards the outside of the park. They tried to avoid its path as quickly as possible.
However, Star Condensation was even faster than them. Before they could escape or float out of the park, its dazzling skin had already obscured the sky above them.
Star Condensation did not intend to bombard them. It was targeting … something else.
There was no sound, but they could see with their eyes that the skin on the side of Star Condensation shone even more brightly than elsewhere. Pillars of light shot out from its skin into the distance.
These pillars of light … were all aimed in the direction of the Primordial realm aircraft that had just flown away.
Afterwards, explosions rang out in the distance as well.
It was as if none of the remaining five aircraft had managed to escape. They had all been blown to pieces.
After the attack ended, the radiance on Xing Ju's body dimmed … It swam and flew towards the horizon. Soon, its enormous figure disappeared under the dusky sky.
"It looks like it's specially come to attack you, just like last time …" The Scholar said to the Primordial realm as she looked in the direction Star Condensation had flown off in, "How many … troops do you have left?"
"Yes … It doesn't like us, but it's only attacked recently. We've never seen it before," said the Primordial realm, "We don't have many left."
"If that's the case, isn't it a little unwise for you to continue?" The Scholar said, "You want to find the altered ones, but who knows what will happen after you find them … Why don't you first … find a way to settle down?"
"We want answers," said the Primordial realm. "We don't want to continue. Actually, a part of us has already continued, the part that lives with you."
"You … know?"
"That's right. That's why we're searching for answers," said the Primordial realm, "We want to know about it … no matter what happens."
"It looks like you've already made up your mind …" said the Scholar. "Then let's continue. I also want to know what the altered ones of the Mirror World are like. Do you think that 'god' is an altered one?"
