The four sides of the metal box were engraved with mysterious symbols, and the Rope of Sorrow was still wrapped around it.
Wisps of black smoke and sparks continuously floated out from the gaps between the chains, making the entire item appear both sinister and strange, as if it was a box of disaster that imprisoned a demon.
In reality, it wasn't that far off … …
After Gregory had set up layers of defenses, Huai Shi carefully unlocked the Rope of Sorrow. The moment the Origin Substance armor was unlocked, the dozens of mysterious symbols on the metal box began to shatter one after another.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt a wave of confusion wash over them.
It was hard to breathe.
This was the Origin Substance that had undergone a qualitative change after being tempered by the Sea of Thunder. It contained the power of destruction and calamity.
The heart was beating.
However, every time the heart in the box pulsed, everyone felt as if their hearts were about to stop beating for a moment.
In just a few short days, the seal that was enough to imprison the person wearing the crown was about to completely collapse … …
Under the suppression of the steel and crystal, the Rock Iron Heart continued to pulsate. The sound of friction was loud and clear, and sparks flew everywhere.
Even just looking at it would cause one to feel dizzy.
Their souls trembled in fear.
Out of everyone present, the only one who wasn't affected was probably Huai Shi, who had undergone a qualitative change.
Its pulsation was unable to extract his soul at all. On the contrary, the pure light of Origin Substance was able to restrain the power that had been born after the solidification.
After a short period of observation, Huai Shi sensed that something wasn't right.
He moved closer.
He squinted his eyes and examined it.
There was actually a small crack in the right side of the heart.
"What is this?" Huai Shi asked. "It seems to be damaged?"
"That's normal. The reason this heart has been able to survive for so long is because it has been constantly extracting life force from the rusty tower to support itself during its dormant period … …"
Gregory concluded, "Right now, it has already been awakened. As long as it continues to pulsate, it will passively extract Origin Substance and life force from within a hundred kilometers to repair itself.
This is the Gnome King's instinct.
Our sealing and suppression won't be able to stop it. Instead, it will cause it to be consumed even faster while resisting the sealing. There's no way for it to be preserved for long … … and the mysterious symbols connected to it will also be completely destroyed. "
"Then what should we do?"
Huai Shi scratched his head. "It's a disaster if we let it out, but it's also a hot potato if we keep it. If you can't use it, no matter how powerful you are, you are still trash. "
"Actually, it's very simple to apply it."
Gregory suggested, "Just let it return to its' own 'body … Just find a place to stuff it in."
In a brief moment of silence, everyone looked at each other.
In the end, they all looked behind them at the same time …
Raymond was engrossed in his meal.
Inside the rice bowl, Raymond felt the temperature of the air suddenly drop, as if something was wrong.
He raised his head blankly and saw a few pairs of eyes glowing with a strange light.
Subconsciously, he shuddered.
"Hey, why is everyone looking at me?"
He scratched his head and was amused by his own guess. "It's impossible to stuff such a big toy in my place, right? It'll break, hahahaha … haha … ha …"
In the long silence, Raymond laughed until he couldn't laugh anymore.
His smile gradually disappeared.
"… F * ck, are you guys serious?"
He subconsciously shrank back a little, wanting to find a place to run, but Forster, who had appeared behind him at some point, had already pressed down on his shoulder.
It was like an iron clamp.
"Good things."
The chief engineer comforted him. "It's all good things."
"Isn't it because you don't have this thing, so I want to make it up to you?" Gregory, who was eating melon seeds at the side, advised, "It's always right to make up for whatever you lack."
"Besides, other than you, no one else is suitable." Huai Shi spread his hands.
"Why don't you do it yourself!"
Raymond widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Isn't your Ultimate quite good at pretending too? You still have a Celestial Fault! "
"The core of the Ultimate is not connecting the inside and outside, but sealing it. Even if it can be put in, this thing is useless, and can only be refined into a pile of scrap metal."
Huai Shi explained, "The compatibility rate between the Celestial Fault and the Dwarf King's heart is not high, and there is still space left for the Nautilus. Besides, I don't have any experience, do I? I have to find something to try my hand at. "
"Then you should find someone else!"
Raymond was horrified. "Why are you looking for me!"
"Aren't we familiar with each other?"
Huai Shi gave a simple and honest smile. "This is such a good opportunity, we can't let others take advantage of it, right?"
In this chilling silence, he instinctively looked at the only conscience in the team, but after Professor Anton noticed his pleading gaze, he was silent for a long time, wanting to say something but hesitating.
In the end, he looked away awkwardly.
He also felt that this arrangement was quite good …
"What about you!"
Raymond looked at the Sun Ship with his only hope. "Why aren't you f * cking saying anything!"
"…"
The Red Dragon moved back a little and pretended not to hear anything.
It could not say that it was the one who suggested this from the beginning, right!
"You have to accept this reality."
Huai Shi comforted him. "Think about it carefully, isn't it quite good?"
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Tears finally rushed out …
.
In fact, Huai Shi's arrangement was not purely out of persecution.
Well, at least 60% of it was not out of persecution.
Instead, it was because Raymond was too suitable …
To put it simply, this was just a heart transplant. If it were anyone else, they would have to undergo a removal surgery. However, Raymond did not need it at all — he did not have this thing decades ago.
The stone heart that the Eye of Nightmare was responsible for transporting to the ruler, Eve Litt, was a precious essence nurtured by the mountains.
It could heal all wounds.
However, there was only one stone heart.
Raymond and the Red Dragon had two.
If one was saved, the other would have to die.
Raymond chose to leave the future to his friends.
When the Red Dragon brought him to the Ivory Tower, his body had already been completely eaten up by the rancher's curse.
The transformation of the Eternal Road's Stigmata saved his life, but at the same time, he and the Red Dragon could share the same life under the connection of the Stigmata.
It happened to be the opposite of the other ascendants of the Eternal Road. He had become an accessory of the car of destiny.
Now, a chance to save all of this was finally in front of the Red Dragon. It could not say, 'No, because after I install it, Raymond will become at least 2.6 meters tall, and it will be even more difficult to find a girlfriend in the future' and reject it, right?
Why would he want a woman!
A real driver never needed that kind of thing!
Women will only affect our driving speed!
As long as I drive fast enough, my girlfriend won't be able to catch up to me!
It was decided.
"Come, I'll hold his hand for you. Hurry up!"
Two hours later, the Crimson Dragon's armored arm pulled its driver over and pinned Redmond, who was still struggling and crying, onto the operating table. Then, Huai Shi skillfully covered Redmond's face with gauze that was soaked in tranquilizer.
Afraid that it would not be effective enough, he added a lot of his own poisons and curses.
Soon, Raymond's eyes turned white, and he gradually lost his strength.
Before he completely lost consciousness, accompanied by the illusion of countless girls waving goodbye to him, the last thing he heard was Huai Shi's crazy laughter, and the roar of a spinning chainsaw …
.
.
Two days later.
At noon, endless yellow sand flowed silently in the scorching hot air, and burning ashes slowly fell from the sky.
And in this dead and desolate world, a huge door slowly opened.
A passage from the depths of the abyss opened, and a tide-like army instantly covered the entire land. In the sky, strange birds spread their wings and gathered into an overwhelming dark cloud.
The army from the fallen country majestically marched into the world.
But when he looked around, there was nothing in the vast expanse of yellow sand.
It was empty.
Only desolation and death.
"Wrong place?"
The vanguard at the front, the Solidifier, frowned and suddenly pulled the hunched Navigator up. His five fingers tightened. "You bunch of trash, you can't even find the wrong place!"
"No, I didn't, I didn't!"
Under the tattered gray robe, the Navigator waved his three arms with difficulty and squeezed out a hoarse voice. "I, I swear, I didn't find the wrong place. The tree map shows this place, this is it!"
"You're telling me that this is the Rusty Tower Forest?"
The Solidifier's face pulled up into a sinister smile. "Are you kidding? Or is my brain muddled, and I can't tell the difference between this broken sand and the tower? "
"I don't know, I really don't know!" The Navigator cried. "Xing, Xing Chen's instructions can't be wrong, we've already arrived at the designated place, it shouldn't be like this … it shouldn't be like this!"
Crack.
With a crisp sound, the struggling Navigator's body suddenly tensed up. Then, like a puppet that had lost its strings, it collapsed and stopped moving.
The Solidifier coldly threw the rotten meat in his hand on the ground. The snake crawling on the ground was already unable to endure the hunger and thirst, and instantly pounced on it. Soon, only a patch of rapidly drying blood was left on the yellow sand, and there was no trace left.
The Solidifier turned around and respectfully came to the side of the chariot, and reported in a low voice, "Lord Hades, please give me a little more time …"
"No need."
Behind the curtains of the chariot, Hades stood up and lifted the curtains. He looked at the dead world in front of him, and his expression gradually turned cold.
"We didn't go to the wrong place."
He said, "This is the Rusty Tower Forest, there is no mistake."
As if to prove his words, the scorching wind swept up the dust and sand that covered the sky and earth, revealing the ruins that were buried underneath.
The collapsed tower was like quartzite that had been weathered for thousands of years. The moment it was touched, it collapsed into a patch of gray sand.
In the dead silence, no one spoke.
Only the sound of the wind blowing through the world that had died once again was loud and shrill, as if mocking laughter from afar.
"Are you warning me? Huai Shi … Are you showing off your power? "
Hades bent down and pinched the scattered yellow sand in his hand. His expression was gloomy and curious. "Or are you trying to hide something?"
He pondered in silence.
He felt as if he had finally grasped something …
In this abyss, what was it that made a person of the Realm so reluctant to part with it?
It seemed that more clues were needed.
After a short moment of silence, he slowly grinned, revealing a strange smile.
"The Blessed Land, the Corrupt Order, the Purgatory Workshop Master, and those guys who were beaten so badly by Celestial genealogy that they couldn't raise their heads …
Finally, inform the Golden Dawn. "
"Didn't they want to pay back?"
Hades looked down at the dust on the ground that looked like ashes and smiled coldly. "Now, it's time."
