"How did you do it?"
Huai Shi was surprised. He looked around and found that the ivory tower did not explode.
Nothing happened at all.
"Don't worry. That old bastard Russell gave me this."
Old Shepherd's Gregory raised his wrist, revealing a wristwatch-like ring-shaped lock. Two of them were swirling on his hands like liquid.
When the two rings collided with each other, a spherical space vaguely appeared around him. To be precise, it was countless silver specks that danced like dust.
Just like the stars in the sky.
Just like the smell of summer quilts came from the corpses of mites, the countless silver specks were also made up of countless corpses.
Combining Sharma's' Recycling Ecology 'and the' Primordial Soup 'created by Shah, the creator of the Survival Academy, these two useless rings were created.
Countless silicon-based cells that had been modified by the Primordial Soup formed a reproduction system. Fixed by the Recycling Ecology around Gregory, they were constantly self-replicating.
Then, they were quickly killed by the characteristics of the Primordial Curse, and the remains were then recycled and remade, forming a dynamic cycle.
Using DOS attacks to fight against EMP, using science to defeat magic. As long as I replicate fast enough, you won't be able to delete me, thus reaching a balance of life and death.
Instead of forcibly suppressing the attributes of the Primordial Curse, it was better to take the initiative to find something for it to do. If it was too busy, it would not harm other innocent equipment.
"Although I still have to take it off when I'm working, it should be fine as long as I run far away." Gregory spread his hands. "It just so happens that I recently had a big fight with the Stone Cauldron Academy. Everyone is a little embarrassed, so I'll follow you to hell to lie low for a while."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Huai Shi nodded and formally greeted the seniors in front of him again. As for Raymond, he was just a tool.
This was the lineup of the exploration team.
According to Russell, there would be several groups of guides waiting for them in hell, but only a few of them would be responsible for activating the outpost and retrieving the Nautilus.
Raymond was the driver and backup pilot of the Nautilus; Anton, the mechanic, was responsible for the temporary maintenance and repair of the Nautilus to ensure that it could return to the present world in one piece; Forster, the iron crystal pilot who operated the internal equipment of the Nautilus to maintain its sound operation; and Gregory, the alchemist who was responsible for destroying arcana and miraculous replication.
As well as the jack of all trades cum captain Huai Shi.
Everyone had an irreplaceable role, and it seemed that the only thing that could be missing was himself. However, so many people had come here to achieve themselves.
To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure.
Although the team that Russell had chosen for Huai Shi would definitely not have any disputes or conflicts, it was precisely because of the trust and cooperation of the old seniors that Huai Shi was somewhat fearful.
Three days was barely enough for a few people to arrive at the Ivory Tower. Fortunately, everyone was already very familiar with each other and did not need much run-in.
Three minutes later, Isaac hurried over with a box.
After opening the box, there was a row of syringes that had already been filled. The liquid inside was surging with a dark gray color. No matter how one looked at it, it did not look like a good thing.
"This is a necessary confidentiality measure. The internal arcana is provided by the bureau to ensure that everyone will not divulge the mission and goal under any circumstances. At critical moments, you can self-destruct to avoid more pain. Time is limited, please inject yourselves. "
It was still the same straightforward style of introduction, but everyone here was already used to it. No one thought that this was looking down on them for not cooperating. They skillfully picked up the syringe and stabbed it into the artery.
With a click, Huai Shi felt a gray aura spread out in his body and soul, enveloping everything, but it quickly disappeared.
However, with just a thought, after three confirmations, he could instantly ignite himself from the inside and turn into a green smoke of nothingness.
This time, he could not let his imagination run wild …
If he was not careful, he would really kill himself.
Fortunately, this thing was only effective for a month. After a month, it would naturally degrade and disappear. However, a month was enough. Even if they completed the mission and returned in advance, they would still have to enter confidential surveillance until all the plans were completed.
"I don't need to say anything more. I sincerely hope that everyone can return safely."
In the end, Isaac took a step back, put his hand on his chest and bowed. "I wish everyone a safe journey."
As he spoke, the steel dome opened to both sides, and a huge airship slowly descended from it.
According to Russell's instructions before he left, Yoko Kusanagi and Sharma worked overtime to repair the 'big guy', the hellish environment inspection airship.
The interior was equipped with enough deep survival equipment and all the necessary tools to last for three months. According to the records, the furthest safe travel distance was even past the Withered Area and deep into the Dark Abyss Area.
A large number of special monsters with the characteristics of Yingzhou were spat out on the airbags. At first glance, it was obvious that it was the work of Yoko.
"Take it and use it."
The old lady with a cigarette in her mouth threw the key over and took one last look at her work. "Anyway, it's a one-time use item."
After checking all the supplies and materials three times, the huge gate opened with a bang.
In the silence, everyone looked at Huai Shi.
Huai Shi chuckled softly and lifted the bag in his hand.
"Let's go."
.
Outside the gate, there was an endless light.
The dedicated Bifrost provided by the General Administration had been opened. The flashing rainbow light wrapped around the airship and pulled them away in an instant.
It was unknown if there were any new changes after the divinity of the source substance had undergone a qualitative change, but this time, Huai Shi could clearly see the changes in every place.
In an instant, countless scenes flashed by in the light, as if they had traveled to every corner of the Present Land in an instant.
Following the network that connected countless borders and the Present Land, they had already arrived outside the Present Land in the blink of an eye.
The sound of the tide was surging.
After the dizziness that felt like the world was spinning, they could see the endless sea raging below. They had once again arrived at the Endless Sea that shrouded the Asian border.
But it was different from the last time.
This time, there were no clouds in the darkness of nothingness above their heads. Countless shining stars seemed to be right in front of them …
Pale, scarlet, dark green, and ominous radiance constantly flashed.
That was the distance between hell and the Present Land.
They were almost right in front of them!
Just behind them, there was still an endless stream of behemoths flying out from the gate of the Bifrost. Like giant pillars, they spewed flames and rose into the sky, forming an endless array with countless giant pillars floating there.
The rainbow light between them formed a giant net that shrouded the sky.
After a long warm-up, the branch components from the Bifrost finally formed a brand-new expansion link. In the future, the power of the Present Land shrouded this endless sea.
"The defense line is about to be activated. We have to speed up."
Forster, the chief engineer, turned around and said to Raymond, "If we're any later, I'm afraid we'll be locked in the gate."
Raymond nodded and pulled the operating lever all the way to the end. The huge airship trembled violently and quickly began to fade. Like a chameleon, it hid in the void and disappeared.
The anti-force coating was activated.
After passing through countless shrinking holes in the net and sending out a final signal to the Present Land behind them, the airship entered a state of silence.
Everyone's heart sank.
From this moment onwards, they would lose all assistance from the Present Land and truly step into hell.
They were not falling, but rising.
Toward the ferocious stars.
But behind them, there was a vast and terrifying wave, as if the Present Land was collapsing and echoing in the void.
It did not use sound waves as a carrier. Instead, it overlapped the ripples of countless Source Substances and turned them into a tide of Source Substances that could drown every soul. It spread in all directions!
It was like a song.
At that moment, Huai Shi looked back in shock. From the reverberating rhythm, he felt the sound of a certain behemoth.
It was a sound from the Present Land!
Under the pull and cover of countless Bifrost links, it was as if a chain so long that the beginning and end could not be seen was bound to the Endless Sea. Then, with infinite force, it pulled the sea … inward?
No, it should be said that it was like a quilt.
The monstrous tide rolled up, and endless waves of light surged along the links. Under the control of gravity and the Bifrost, it was like a thick quilt covering the Present Land that was shrouded by the three major seals!
It was not only the Endless Sea here, but also the melting mountains in the far Middle East, the endless wilderness in the Russian Federation, and even the eternal white fog that shrouded the American border.
With each border as a node, the Bifrost links were spread out. It involved the world formed by the materialization of the borders and rolled inwards.
In the end, the six sides closed, forming a self-operating cube that completely enveloped the Present Land.
At this moment, in the magnificent changes that were difficult to observe even if one exhausted their vision, Huai Shi finally understood why the countless borders were regarded as the city walls of the Present Land.
It was not just the relationship between space and the inside and outside, but even the domain between the borders was the city wall itself!
At this moment, in the abyss that was comparable to the void of the universe, surrounded by the ominous stars, there was only this existence that was difficult to be accommodated by one's vision!
Compared to it, any existence was just a drop in the ocean. It was the world itself after the border and the Present Land combined.
— The Present Land's defense line!
The defense line was officially activated, which meant that from this moment on, the Present Land had officially entered a state of war.
Around the Present Land, above the shell formed by countless borders, there were already countless dark clouds slowly shrouding it.
Before the deep tide reached the Present Land, the rulers and large groups in hell were still unable to release their power on a large scale. However, this did not prevent them from beginning to gather their power, forming an alliance with each other, or beginning to communicate with each other.
The leaders of large groups who occupied the geographical advantage had already sent invitations to powerful existences deeper in.
Some of them were even the claws and teeth of some behemoths in the dark abyss.
In front of the stars, layers of shadows surged.
Strands of aurora-like bonds extended and entangled with each other, shrouding the dark abyss in a dazzling light.
Unfortunately, it was not the Gate of Paradise.
It was the Stairway to Hell.
