The time between the appearance of the Clock Tower and its activation was much longer than everyone had expected.
The two battleships, [Miracle Crown] and [Theseus], were the first to cross the safe sea of more than 1,300 kilometers at a speed that even the quasi-legendary battleships couldn't match. They arrived at the place marked by Sea Hunter James on the nautical chart before all the competitors.
However, they had no choice but to stop there and activate the [Silver Light of Mist] to hide and wait for half a month.
He could only watch as the strange phenomenon of the [Clock Tower] grew stronger bit by bit. The reverse rainstorm, the strange light spots in the sky, the strange insect chirps, the faintly discernible silhouette of the tower, and more and more sailboats gathered in this area of the sea.
Because of the strong presence of each other, each ship was at least one kilometer away from each other. They used the brakes of the sailboats to stop on the sea to avoid unnecessary fights and accidents.
Elvin, who had the [Sorcerer's Garden] with him so he could study and research at any time, naturally wouldn't waste time. He also made a small item for all the members of the adventure team, including the three companions of [Theseus].
"Come, Mr. Jeros, Princess Stephanie, and Mr. Rahm, take it."
According to the content recorded in [The Mysterious Source of Wandering: The Clock Tower], when they first entered the periphery of the Clock Tower, there wouldn't be a gathering of the members. Instead, they would be forcibly separated by the powerful space rules.
Only after safely experiencing two to three scenes would the gathering effect slowly appear.
Because there were similarities and personalities in a group of people, when they first entered this space, they would prioritize the shallowest and most distinct personal characteristics. After all, even if there were countless leaves, there wouldn't be two exactly the same leaves, let alone two Transcendents.
So.
Elvin used the Cosmic Dragon scales he produced to create a [Talisman of Beacon] that could help the members who didn't have the adventurer's blood to quickly gather together.
Jeros looked at the [Talisman of Beacon] in his hand and felt a little confused.
He asked carefully, "Did you make this? Mr. Garriott, this thing seems to be a witchcraft talisman, right? "
"Is there a problem?"
"No, no."
He had thought that he had found a powerful "dragon descendant" as a helper, but he didn't expect that the person who had been arranged to be him.
Having lived in the isolated Scattered Stars Islands for a long time, he didn't know about it until now.
This Mr. Garriott had a real Legendary warship, two close Adventurer's Blood owners in his team, a Tier 2 senior Prophet, and a living teenage Shadow Dragon. He had collected information about most of his competitors through the mental network, and everyone had Transcendent equipment that glittered with spiritual light …
Apart from the initial proposal, he, a great wizard who had lived for almost two hundred years, had almost no sense of existence. Lamu, the parrot user, was even weaker than him. Even his beloved wife, Stephanie, was full of praises for this rear admiral of the motherland navy.
An indignant impulse to leave the group arose spontaneously.
This was different from what they had agreed on at the beginning!
Suddenly.
Clang —!
In the sky, it sounded like a clock tower in a city, chiming twelve times in a row.
The next moment, the sea in front of them, which was 120 kilometers wide, was suddenly stirred by strange rules. Like a piece of paper, it was twisted into a shape where the head and the tail were connected. Gravity seemed to have been completely disrupted here, and the sky and the sea were connected.
In the center of the sea hanging in the sky, a hole that looked like a piece of white paper that had been poked by a pencil appeared there. It was dark and connected to an unknown world.
There seemed to be a starting gun.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the edge of the hundreds of scattered ships, two warships that didn't rely on wind at all broke through the white fog and flew across the sea like two sharp arrows.
One was a Calais galleon with a strange appearance, which was very different from the popular sailing ships of today.
A total of sixty red oars of different ages extended out from both sides of the low and narrow hull. They looked like a large water centipede. Every time they moved in unison, the ship would fly a large part of the way forward.
The other warship simply subverted the knowledge of all humans in this era. It was a futuristic black warship with a diamond-shaped surface. It had neither oars nor sails, but it was faster than the galleon next to it.
At this time, [Miracle Crown] had already obtained a second auxiliary energy system outside of the Frog God's Golden Crown. It was powered by the semi-finished "magnetic ohlite".
Some time ago, Elvin had made a semi-finished product with some of the functions of the "magnetic ohlite". Originally, the structure of the Sea Sapphire was only used to store energy. Now, it had been greatly enhanced in terms of energy collection.
From the outside, it looked no different from the "magnetic ohlite" in the spiritual realm. For the time being, its energy efficiency was only 10% to 20% of the original "magnetic ohlite". Even so, it was enough to become an auxiliary energy source for the two legendary warships and the Mountain Giant.
The disadvantage was that it originated from a highly mysterious condensation and couldn't be mass-produced like ordinary witchcraft gems.
However, Elvin believed that he was already on the right path. Sooner or later, he would be able to replicate the complete "magnetic ohlite". By then, he might be able to directly cross the electrical age and enter the new era of supernatural energy.
Behind them, a quasi-legendary warship called "Voyager" from the Church of the Black Iron Cross was closely followed by the "Iron Wall Knight" from the Church of the Black Iron Cross.
It was not just Ambrose's team. In fact, the two peak grand Knight from the Church of the Tulip were the main force.
The exploration team had a total of six Saint Knights and 54 official knights from the armed systems of the churches of the Union. The teams included the teams of Faletis, Tyro, Palos, the Kingdom of Thessaly, and the Church of the Tulip. They were powerful and well-equipped.
The main mission of their trip was to find a divine artifact, the "Holy Sword of Libra Equalization." It was once owned by Demeter, the Goddess of Commerce, Law, and Fertility. It was the closest god to the concept of "capital" in the history of the ancient continent.
The upper echelons of the church obviously believed that the defense line established by Elvin on the secular level was far from enough. They had to stop the God of Black Wings from migrating to the God of Capital from the mysterious level.
Now, it was certain that the goal of the Oathbreaker Army and the Iron Wall Knight was the "Holy Sword of Libra Equalization."
In addition, almost all the Saint Knight of the other churches of the Seven Gods were present.
Other than the Volcano Knight of the Order of Cinder and the Silver Knight of the Church of Dawn, who had appeared earlier.
There was also the Winter Knight of the Church of the Frost Breath. His power characteristics were essentially the same as the Saint Knight of the other churches.
The Arcane Knight of the Starry Night Order wore a full helmet that covered their eyes. They held a sword in one hand and a flamethrower in the other. They had a psychic ability called the Arcane Curse.
The Arcane Knight was somewhat similar to the Lawless. It was another Transcendent path that the true god, the Bright Starry Night, had extended beyond the clergy.
Only the Stormwind Court, which had been guarding the Kingdom of South Wind, did not have a sense of presence as usual. They did not send anyone.
As for their respective goals, it was unknown.
However, the churches of the true gods would send people into the Clock Tower every time it appeared. They would use the Transcendent gathering effect to collect the treasures that were similar to their own church's power into their own hands.
Moreover, the churches with the deepest foundation were the clearest about the mechanism that limited the strength of the people inside the Clock Tower. The highest level of Transcendent who entered was grade 3.
This was because even the first seat of the Clock Tower School of Thought could not complete the "Truth Concretization." Essentially, he was only a grade 4 wizard. Even if the main consciousness was annihilated, the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages was still there.
Outside the Seven Gods Church.
The official forces of some countries in the New World, Cabral in the Chaotic Region, and the followers of the God of Labyrinth who had gradually washed their feet ashore were also present.
On the other side of the "Scar of the Sea," a group of residents of the Shattered Stars Islands also rushed into the distorted sea.
Although the Shattered Stars Islands was the final place of escape for the human wizards, they only occupied a very small territory in the Shattered Stars Sea. Most of it was extremely dangerous and unknown. The magic element activity was extremely high, and there were a large number of humanoid creatures, monsters, and evil spirits living there.
Even if some of the guilds formed the wizard organization "Sacred Stone Council," they only managed to gain a foothold in the Shattered Stars Sea after 400 years of development.
Therefore, every bit of power was precious to them.
On one of the ships belonging to the Shattered Stars Islands, there was Crown Prince Yalen and three of his great Knight who escaped from Ilya last year.
His goal was undoubtedly … to restore his country!
.....
The legendary battleship at full power took the lead. It sailed in the sky for a while and returned to the sea for a while.
After an hour of ups and downs, Elvin put away the [Miracle Crown] before he completely sailed into the hole in the sky where he couldn't tell if it was in the sea or in the sky.
The members of the adventure team nodded and gave each other their blessings. Then, they were completely swallowed by the hole that led to the inside of the Clock Tower.
Whoosh!
There was almost no gap. With a flash of light, they opened their eyes again and were already in another world.
What appeared in front of Elvin was a huge brass cocoon that was almost five stories tall.
* Crack! *
The top of the cocoon cracked open like a flower, and a huge butterfly with flesh and blood and mechanical gears crawled out. It stretched its thin metal wings against the wind.
Elvin looked around. This was a forest that seemed to have been infected by a "mechanical virus."
All the creatures in front of him had turned into mechanical organisms. Part of their bodies were mechanical gears, and the other part was made of flesh and blood. There were mechanical crabs, beetles inlaid with turquoise, apes wearing helmets, fish monsters, birds …
The material world generally followed the common sense of a normal world. Although there were transcendents, they were not rampant. However, this was clearly a world made up of all kinds of monsters.
Soon.
It was just a tower on the outside, but the inside was like an N-order rubik's cube. The multiple worlds had welcomed their guests.
Olivia appeared in an underground mine filled with crystal clusters. Suddenly, a series of rustling noises could be heard.
In front of Anita, there were giant lizards that might or might not have inherited the Dragon Bloodline. They were fighting for their lives.
The warm wind blew through Angel's hair. In front of her, there was a figure with the lower half of its body hidden in a snail's shell. It was crawling with both hands. It quietly looked in the girl's direction.
.....
A Frigid Winter Knight stood on a frozen river. Under the layer of ice that was only a few centimeters thick under his feet, there were pale figures wriggling their limbs in the river.
A chaotic battle between humans and monsters was about to break out.
