Cruzet had previously reminded Xiao Ran to test the Army of Myth and Prometheus. Although he didn't make it clear, Xiao Ran perfectly understood what Cruzet wanted to express.
No one in the Burning Legion had actually seen the Wizard Tower before. All the information was obtained from John Doe of the Army of Myth. Everything about the Wizard Tower, including its appearance, was obtained from John Doe, including the information about the Fantasy Zone.
But this would lead to a problem. Whether John Doe's words were true or false, whether he was hiding something, or whether he was misleading them, they could only listen to what he said. It was even possible that everything was arranged by the Army of Myth to deliberately lure the Burning Legion into a trap.
Those Wizard Towers might not have been created by Prometheus, but by the Army of Myth. As an old man, he wouldn't have taken precautions against such things, so he asked Xiao Ran to test them. Perhaps the Army of Myth didn't even know that Xiao Ran could have such direct contact with Prometheus, but what if they knew?
This would turn into a very bad situation. The Burning Legion's usual style of doing things was to confirm and arrange things as soon as possible. Whoever wanted to scheme against the Burning Legion would be attacked by the Burning Legion.
Prometheus replied to Xiao Ran, "Yes, the node doesn't need anyone's help."
A scene appeared in front of Xiao Ran. A white light suddenly appeared on a huge meteorite. It appeared out of thin air like the northern aurora. Then, a tall tower slowly appeared from this light. It gradually turned from an illusion to reality until it landed on the meteorite and merged with it. Only then did the white light slowly disappear.
This was the process of Prometheus casting the Wizard Tower. The whole process was very short, about a total of less than fifteen seconds, and a Wizard Tower appeared out of thin air.
Xiao Ran asked. "That's it?"
This was the process of dropping a tower, but every time Prometheus dropped a tower, he would first need to determine the location of the tower. The more he did, the easier it would become. This was because many towers had already appeared in the Present World, and the most difficult part was actually how to drop a tower into the real universe.
From a purely technical point of view, this was something that even the Burning Legion could not achieve. The precise delivery across worlds and the ability to automatically blend into the surrounding environment was something that Xiao Ran did not know if it was done through technology or divine spells.
"Let's call the universe where the participant's home is the real universe." Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't think anyone would want you to continue putting these things into the real universe. Or rather, you want to change the real universe into another fantasy area and build another sub-clone. When the sub-clone grows up, you will be complete again."
"You've always said that you want to protect, but you've never told me what you want to protect. The participant doesn't look like a protector, but more like an invader from another world, a destroyer. He goes to one world after another to plunder, destroy, invade, and kill. What right does such a person have to be called a protector?"
"What is it that you want to protect? What kind of thing are you? I hope you can tell me everything I want to know. Let's not talk about authority. In fact, I feel that I have the right to know the answers to these questions. First in the reality zone and first in the super zone, the Burning Legion is the undisputed number one in both zones. How can you say that you don't have the right and authority? "
"If you still don't answer my questions because of your authority, I think many people will take the initiative to find the answer."
Prometheus was silent for a long time. Xiao Ran wasn't anxious and didn't continue to ask. He just stood there and waited for Prometheus' reply.
Prometheus didn't choose to leave and remained silent. Perhaps it was thinking about whether to tell Xiao Ran. Prometheus had more or less noticed something, but Xiao Ran didn't really threaten it. With Prometheus' authority, it couldn't do anything to Xiao Ran.
It was a special intelligence. It was emotionless, cold, and rational. However, it wasn't as free as the super AIs of Burning Legion. At the very least, those super AIs could do whatever they wanted, but Prometheus couldn't. It had a certain code of conduct and could only do some things within the scope of this code.
Prometheus also noticed the changes brought about by Xiao Ran, who was different from the rest. It also felt that Xiao Ran was infinitely unpredictable. These were all situations that Prometheus couldn't predict. It could also sense the threat that Xiao Ran brought to Prometheus. It was a vague threat that didn't actually exist.
"The continuation of civilization."
Finally, Prometheus gave Xiao Ran an answer.
"Prometheus is the Fire Relayer. His duty is to pass on and protect the civilization of this dimension. As long as he can pass on the torch, Prometheus doesn't care about anything else."
Another scene appeared in front of Qin Yun's eyes. The scene showed a universe. Then, the universe rapidly shrank until it was very, very small. It turned into an extremely dense cluster of stars. And as the universe shrank, more universes appeared. They were close to the first universe. One point after another, clusters of stars appeared. Finally, they formed the scene of another universe.
The scene stopped at this moment, and Prometheus' voice sounded again. "This is a dimension."
Xiao Ran directly understood what Prometheus was trying to express to him. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
What Prometheus wanted to express was roughly like this. A universe could be seen as a planet. Then, countless' planets' formed a new universe. This represented a set, and this set was one of the dimensions in the infinite world.
Prometheus might only be controlling one dimension or several dimensions, but this didn't explain why Prometheus could create so many identical worlds. Furthermore, they were worlds that Xiao Ran was familiar with. However, although Xiao Ran couldn't explain it clearly, he could understand some things in his mind.
Identical worlds and parallel worlds weren't that difficult to understand. Another technician of Burning Legion, Sophia, already had the ability to create parallel worlds. However, there were still many problems with the application that hadn't been solved. Furthermore, the scene that Prometheus displayed was only to let Xiao Ran have a more intuitive understanding of the concept of dimensions. It was a set formed by countless universes.
In other words, this could almost be called an infinite set. Every member of it was also every universe, so how could it not be another small set? And whether it was a large set or a small set, they could all be endowed with the concept of infinity. Things like a world in a grain of sand could be used to describe this situation.
But among these sets, there was probably a part of the set that belonged to the most important branch, which was the real universe. The simplest way to create a parallel world was to manipulate time. When a single world appeared, countless similar parallel worlds could be created by manipulating time. The branch was very troublesome to manipulate, but the branch was very simple.
The real universe was only a part of this large set, not the whole. If the analysis department's speculation was correct, then there was indeed another group of participants that once existed in Prometheus.
But why did the participants experience missions that he was familiar with? Either Prometheus was special, or Earth was special. However, Xiao Ran was more willing to believe that Earth was special. The situation that Na Zi and Fades had investigated proved this point. It was as if the solar system didn't exist in this world.
Was it a void that didn't exist? A true void that had nothing. Even if space didn't exist, or if it was a layer of protection, there was no certainty.
Or could it be that Earth was actually the most important and special singularity that ran through the entire dimension and all the worlds? Perhaps even Prometheus wouldn't be able to explain this to him.
Xiao Ran said, "Protecting the inheritance of the civilizations in the dimension, passing on the torch, and improving the technology of all civilizations. This is your duty and mission, right?"
"Passing on the torch, improving the civilization, and ultimately, the main purpose is to protect. When a singularity or an invader appears in a universe, Prometheus will select participants to enter and improve themselves. They will obtain great power and technology that can improve the civilization, thus solving the threat that appears in that universe."
"Singularity, invader?"
Xiao Ran keenly noticed these two words. After a shock, he became numb. He thought of Earth's current situation. Singularity? Very similar! Invaders, there must be!
Xiao Ran guessed that these things that Prometheus was talking about were Earth. He felt that the possibility was a little high. Wasn't this a little inappropriate?
But suddenly, Xiao Ran's gaze became a little strange. "But this idiot knows that I'm from Earth? It can't detect the situation on the other side? Or is it that it has already set its sights on Earth, but it doesn't have the power to solve those situations and can only rely on the participants themselves, so the stronger the pilot, the more it will tolerate? "
"What kind of situation could it be? It can't detect the situation on Earth, or it has no power."
These thoughts appeared in Xiao Ran's mind. Suddenly, he asked, "Singularities also appeared in the fantasy zone in the past?"
"Yes, singularities and invaders also existed in the fantasy zone in the past. There was also a group of participants, but that group of participants has been wiped out or left Prometheus. Under the premise that I can't confirm whether the singularity of that world has disappeared, the singularity of this world has appeared. According to the rules, I have to select participants from this world and at the same time, designate that world as a fantasy zone and send participants to guard it."
"But the changes in the fantasy zone caused me to lose control of that world and also a part of me. Because of some special interference, I can't understand the situation of that world and can only unilaterally open the door to that world. Unless I can find the me in that world, it is possible to re-establish contact."
All of a sudden, Xiao Ran suddenly understood a lot of things. He looked at Prometheus in front of him with a complicated gaze and sighed softly in his heart.
"Invaders, isn't that the power from another dimension? There are many possibilities for singularities, such as the door of a different dimension, or a singularity that runs through the entire dimension."
"My little Eagle, it's Master's fault for throwing you over there. You have to be strong. You must find the part that Prometheus lost for Master."
The things that Prometheus said were still credible, at least 90% of them. The other 10% was because Xiao Ran thought that Prometheus might be hiding something, and this kind of concealment was likely to mislead. As for lying?
Judging from Xiao Ran's attitude towards Prometheus, this fool did not seem to be programmed to lie.
But because of this, Xiao Ran was even more determined to control Prometheus. At least, he had to get a part of Prometheus' authority to counterbalance Prometheus' means.
This was because Xiao Ran felt that the singularity of this world might really be Earth. In this case, wasn't Prometheus' purpose to eliminate the singularity of Earth?
Now, Xiao Ran did not know why Prometheus did not notice the abnormality of Earth, but what if he did one day? Would he tolerate the threat of Prometheus and countless participants on Earth? That was absolutely impossible. As for the situation inside Earth, Xiao Ran knew better. It was definitely not a threat …
Well, maybe it was a threat. It should be a threat to the entire universe. The guardians of Earth were a threat to the universe, and the soldiers under the guardians were also a group of people with cheats. The threat to the universe was actually quite big.
But so what? Earth was Xiao Ran's hometown. His wife, children, parents, friends, and relatives were all there. He absolutely would not allow anything to happen to Earth, let alone let Prometheus become a threat to Earth. Therefore, controlling Prometheus was imperative.
But then again, was the Earth's Guardian System really that awesome? Didn't she feel inferior? Didn't she only protect Earth from the invasion of alternate dimensions …
Well, alternate dimensions … Well, Xiao Ran roughly understood. This time, Xiao Ran felt that Earth was not simply a singularity that ran through the entire dimension. It was very likely that there was a special singularity between countless large dimensions, and the connection was not as simple as just one dimension.
If this was discovered by Prometheus, would there still be a chance for Earth to continue to exist? Xiao Ran felt that from this moment on, he was already at odds with Prometheus.
Xiao Ran was silent for a while, then suddenly asked a question, "You, does Prometheus have a master? Does he have a controller?"
