"Phew … Are we alright now?"
After dashing out of the mirrored tunnel of the Mirrored Tower, Sona and Sayana panted heavily. They were still in shock as they looked at their bodies with lingering fear. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that their scales were covered with a layer of pale green luster.
I looked around. This was a world with normal colors. The clear blue sky shone down from the giant stone pillars a hundred meters away. The strange atmosphere had disappeared. Thus, I nodded. "It seems that everything is fine now."
"What a strange situation. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a defensive method. Is this a conceptual attack or something?" Icetis joked heartlessly even though she was the first to jump up to warn everyone that something was wrong. "What do you think would have happened if we didn't escape in time? Silly girl over there, do you know what that was just now? "
The one that Icetis called a silly girl was of course Alaya who was tidying up her clothes. She didn't stop in time when she dashed out and was sent flying, crashing into a stone pillar at the edge of the rooftop. Her head was still covered in dust and she was in a sorry state. Hearing Icetis's question, the silly cat angel immediately protested softly, "I'm not a silly girl, I'm just a little stupid …"
For a moment, we didn't know where to start ridiculing her. This girl was so honest. If I said that I intended to sell her, this girl would probably sell herself on Taobao! Yep, if she knew how to use Taobao …
"If the transformation was completed, it would probably become a part of the Mirrored Tower." Alaya shook off the dust on her body and habitually moved closer to me. She placed a huge wing in front of me and let someone tidy up her feathers. "It's a very complicated and brilliant defensive system. It should have been activated the moment we entered the Mirrored Tower. It was only activated when we were fighting with the guards … Otherwise, it would have taken effect slowly and it would have been impossible to defend against."
"Even the emperor and the higher gods will be affected?" Bryndis was still holding her small mirror and looking at it to confirm that her eyes had really turned back to red. "Although I don't know if its power is strong enough to really accommodate this power, just the process of the conversion is scary enough. As expected of a defense system that is suspected to be the capital planet. I was too careless, too damn careless … "
Yes, I was careless. I always thought that the defense system should be something violent like guards, cannons, traps and the like. Only such a thing would fit the general impression of a 'defense system'. In the end, I underestimated the mysterious power of the Old Empire.
What is this place? This isn't as simple as an ancient ruin in the 'Lost World'!
Now, one-fourth to one-third of these lost worlds have been determined by us to be fragments of the fifteenth heaven of the old empire's mother planet. Although we can't explain what happened to these fragments, and what happened to the Gaia mother planet in the shadow space, the mother planet is the mother planet. In other words, this was the capital of the Xi Ling Empire during its most powerful era!
…
Without a doubt, the capital of the Xiling Empire possessed the strongest defense in the entire Empire. It was easy to imagine it just by thinking about the planetary fortresses and fleets that were stationed in the shadow dimension all year round. Even if this place was just a fragment of the Mother Planet, there should still be some high-level defense left on it. Even if it was just a sentry post in a military facility, it should have been set up according to the standard of 'an assassin breaking through the entire fleet's defense line and killing his way to the Emperor'. This might be an exaggeration, but it definitely wouldn't be too much.
A defense system set up for such a crisis might not be as strong as a fleet, but it would definitely have a more lethal 'trick'.
Obviously, the strange Mirrored Tower hid a trap that was capable of trapping an Emperor-class invader unknowingly. Now that I thought about it, it wasn't surprising at all. After all, this tower looked like the core of the Mystic-type construction on the Mother Planet of the Fifteenth Sky of the Old Empire. Its position should be equivalent to the current Shadow City and the storage array on the Mother Planet, Gaia. It was impossible for the defense to be lax.
"What do we do now?" Sandora raised her head to look at the mirrored entrance in the sky. Looking through the mirror, the space on the other side didn't seem to have changed at all. However, after Sandora created a Spirit Ball and tossed it in, I lost contact with it almost instantly. The remaining defense system of the Mirrored Tower was undoubtedly operating at full power. "The other side has already been completely locked down. Before we understand the defense mechanism of the Mirrored Tower, we might have an accident if we rashly enter."
I scratched my head awkwardly. A huge secret was right in front of me, and the only thing stopping me was an ancient defense system. However, due to various reasons, I wasn't able to advance an inch. This feeling of having my heart scratched really wasn't a good feeling. Looking around, my gaze coincidentally landed on Lin Xue. She was frowning and seemed to have a lot on her mind. I recalled what she had said not long ago: The Sky Tower hides a huge secret, even earth-shattering. So, how much of this secret has been unraveled?
A portion of it has definitely been unraveled. We now know that the mother planet of the old Empire's 15th Sky Sector was actually split into two. Currently, the mother planet of the Shadow Dimension, Gaia, only had remnants of the technological side. All of the mother planet fragments related to the Mystics were in this world, becoming a fragmented 'lost world'. However, that was all. No one knew who did it, and no one knew why. The answer to all of this might very well lie at the core of the Mirrored Tower … This … Seems to be the Mirrored Tower of the old Empire's 15th Sky Sector's Mystics Headquarters.
"Speaking of which, I didn't seem to be affected just now?" After thinking for a while, I suddenly recalled something. Thus, I turned my head to look in the direction of Sandora and the others who were muttering to themselves. Icetis immediately raised her head and rolled her eyes at me. "Of course. You are a Void Creature. Unless it is a direct destructive attack, any information disruption level damage will be ineffective against you. The assimilation process just now was obviously a phenomenon of information disruption."
"Then, should I go in and take a look?" I scratched my head. "The person who can't be killed the most here should be me."
"No!" "Don't even think about it!" "Are you crazy?" "It's too dangerous!" In an instant, all sorts of voices rang out. There were Sandora and Shallow Shallow's anxious concern, and there were also the poisonous tongues of Icetis and Lin Xue's. In short, no matter who it was, it seemed like they didn't approve of this plan. "That assimilation phenomenon is ineffective against me." I shrugged my shoulders, feeling that there wasn't any danger.
"It's just that information disruption is ineffective against you." Icetis lectured me as though she was an expert. "This is determined by your race's talent. However, are you immune to other damage as well? Don't forget that you are still not a mature Void Creature. Your soul can still be attacked and your spiritual body is affected by the real world. You even need to maintain a physical body for a long period of time. In your physical body, you aren't invincible. If another 20,000 angels were to spawn in that tower, you can just wait to die. Don't be too confident in your Void Creature talent. You aren't the Father God. "
Icetis's words made sense. I knew that my Void form was indeed immune to any damage. However, it was hard to say what would happen if I were to be killed in my physical body. Didn't all sorts of tragic stories have similar stories? Demons that humans couldn't defeat would be tricked and sealed into a weak object. Then, they would be killed easily by two or three mortals. Even their souls would never be able to reincarnate. The last person who was killed in such a way was Sargeras …
"Then what should we do?" I sighed as I subconsciously pinched the upper edge of Alaya's wing. Every winged being in my family loved to do this. It was said that it was the most comfortable massage method for the winged race. Except for Jingle, her wing composition was unique. "We won't be able to understand such a complicated thing in such a short period of time. Didn't you retreat in defeat?"
Upon hearing this, Icetis scratched her face awkwardly and giggled foolishly. She prided herself as a technological otaku, but this time, she had really kicked a metal plate. The most advanced and mysterious ruins of the old Empire were quite a challenge for her. Furthermore, Icetis's expertise wasn't in this aspect. It was said that she was best at creating self-made mods on various world management systems as well as researching on all sorts of patches that didn't require registration. Thinking back to the days when she was in the Protoss operating system industry, she was just like the current Sicaro, a figure that caused the majority of the original operating system manufacturers to gnash their teeth in anger.
"Well, let's go back." Just as I was thinking about how to bypass the defense system that no one knew the principles behind, Lin Xue's voice suddenly cut in. I didn't know when the young lady had relaxed her brows and a smile appeared on her face. "Let's go back first and think about it. Now isn't the time yet. After a while, many of the mysteries will naturally be solved."
"Err …" Everyone looked at each other. Sandora shrugged her shoulders while Icetis made a 'tsk' out of boredom. Lin Xue's words were tantamount to ending any form of discussion. However, if we were to go back like this … wouldn't it be a little too depressing?
I looked in the direction of the young lady and she winked at me. "We just need a little more time. Also, don't we need to organize the information on hand first? Other than the Sky Tower, there is more than one place in this world that hides secrets. "
Lin Xue's words were very reasonable. There seemed to be no better solution at the moment. So, even though everyone was unhappy, they could only put this tower aside for the time being. However, even if we were to leave, we had to leave something behind. Sandora had created her own Spirit Cores. These golden light balls were almost like her Spirit Clones. They also had a certain ability to affect the physical world. Sandora left these light balls in the Sky Tower and continued to explore upwards. This tower had a total of a thousand floors. There were still many places that we hadn't discovered yet. Currently, only the Mirage Tower was sealed. For some reason, the main tower of the Sky Tower didn't raise the alert level. These light balls could explore freely here.
"Although I don't have much hope, it's good to understand this tower a little more." Sandora watched as her Spirit Clone disappeared in front of her through the crystal cluster. She exhaled softly and turned her head. "So, this guy … Should we keep bringing him along? He doesn't know how to communicate at all. He doesn't seem to have any value. Also, who knows when he will suddenly go berserk. "
Sandora's gaze fell on the most special member of the team. It was the 'angel' whose entire body was covered in a white mist. His face was unclear and he didn't make a sound. He was floating in the air like a lonely ghost. When everyone was leaving the Mirage Tower, the captive was dragged out by Little Bubble. He was now being watched by everyone without saying a word.
"In theory, it's impossible for an avatar to leave the tower since it has already become a spare part of the defense facility." Alaya leaned closer to observe the illusory angel. As he spoke, he pinched the angel's body. The angel continued to float in the air as if he couldn't feel anything. Although he couldn't see her (according to Sandora's judgment, this should be a female?) The angel's head was always facing Little Bubble's direction. It didn't respond to any other stimuli, including the touch of Alaya, a 'compatriot'. "Maybe he was shocked by Little Bubble and reverted to an independent body. After all, changing information is that child's innate ability. Let's bring him back. He doesn't seem to be a threat. "
Everyone disinterestedly voted in agreement. Then, they unanimously agreed to let me take care of this glowing object that couldn't even speak.
Alright, alright. In any case, as long as something strange appeared at home that no one was interested in throwing away, they would usually throw it to me to deal with or let Sandora eat it. Of course, they couldn't choose the second option, so they could only throw it to me. It wasn't troublesome to temporarily take care of an unknown glowing object, but the problem was …
"It's easy for you to say! How are we going to bring this back!? "
Icetis and Sandora were already leading the team towards the exit. However, I was still staring at the glowing object. This humanoid UFO didn't respond to any stimuli around it. She didn't even have the slightest hint of the ferocious attack she had earlier. I gestured at her for a long time before pointing towards the direction of the team. "Let's go!" She ignored me.
I took two steps forward and beckoned for her to follow me. "Follow me!" She still didn't respond …
"Let's go!"
No response.
"Hurry up and follow the team!"
No response.
"The wolf is here!"
No response.
"All products in this store are 50% off! Everything is 50% off!"
Still no response.
"Authentic good fertilizer, authentic good voice. Welcome to the Huihua Cup broadcast by the leading fertilizer brand, Ash Fertilizer …"
"Whoosh — Wa!"
The last sound was Lin Xue speeding up from 15 meters away. She rushed towards me and kicked my stomach. Fortunately, I grabbed her ankle at the critical moment. She could only scream and jump around on one leg. "Let go of me! You idiot! Stupid blockhead, why are you wasting your time with this light bulb! "
"Nonsense, can't you see that she doesn't follow others!" I grabbed Lin Xue's ankle and used my free hand to point at the glowing creature in midair that resembled a neon sign in the background. The creature seemed to be oblivious to the fight that was taking place right in front of it. It was only looking at Little Bubble, who was being carried away by Ji Shanshan. This was a very strange thing. I thought that she would at least move along with Little Bubble. After all, Little Bubble was the only target that the glowing creature was interested in. But now, it seemed that apart from looking at Little Bubble from afar or occasionally extending her hand, the angel wouldn't do anything else. This caused my other plan to die before it could be executed. My original plan was to use a carrot on a stick … ahem, a little bubble on a stick to hang the angel.
"You're stupid." Missy finally pulled her foot out of my hand. Then, she rummaged through her dimensional pocket for a while and found a rope. She tied one end of the rope around the angel's neck. Then, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she tied it around the angel's waist. Then, she handed the other end of the rope to me. "Here, it's done."
I was speechless.
I tugged on the rope and the glowing object in the air immediately floated over. It felt a little like dragging a balloon as light as a feather. Speaking of which … Would this method really work?
"Can I not do this?" I carefully glanced at Da Xiaojie, and felt that it wasn't appropriate to do this.
"Then you think of a way. This fellow can't be put into your dimensional pocket. And even if you can, do you dare to put it in there? How about we put it in a cage? But that's more troublesome. It's not as easy as my brilliant plan. "
"Well, forget it then." I shrugged and looked at the end of the rope in my hand. It was a little strange, but it didn't seem like it would take much effort.
When we dragged the glowing object in the air back to the group, Icetis expressed her tactful evaluation of the scene in front of her. "Gosh! This balloon is quite unique! "
Sandora sighed. "At least it's not tied around the neck."
It was obvious that Her Majesty the Queen was well aware of a certain Missy's terrible hobby.
I tugged on the rope and walked for a while. Suddenly, I couldn't help but sigh. Why does this feel like flying a kite!
We still had to take the transit route to return to the Mother Continent from the Sky Tower, but this time, there was no need to wait for a flight. After we arrived at the floating river from the Sky Tower's backdoor, we were in a hurry to go back to rest, so we directly teleported to the teleportation portal in the middle and lower reaches of the Mother Continent. Not long after, we returned to the southern region of the Mother Continent. The familiar barren land appeared in front of us again, and a new sun was slowly rising from the horizon.
"Err, it's already been a day?" Shallow Shallow looked at the time in surprise. "It doesn't feel like much time has passed. There's no night at the Sky Tower, right? I didn't even see the sun. The sky was always bright. "
"There's night, but the day and night there are two to three times longer than in the Mother Continent. No one knows what's going on." She was, after all, an ordinary human. At best, her physique as a half-dragon was slightly stronger than that of a human's. However, after going through all kinds of thrilling activities for the whole day, she was actually exhausted. Previously, when we were in the Sky Tower, it might have been because of her high spirits that she didn't show it (our thrilling journey was really stimulating), but now, she was obviously tired.
"I'm starving! I'm starving!" Sandora yelled loudly, venting her displeasure even though she had already eaten two meals and countless snacks in the Sky Tower. Jingle poked her head out of my chest pocket and yawned. "Oh, Jingle is sleepy. Good night, Ah Jun."
I felt that this little one's jet lag had completely collapsed!
Just like that, everyone returned to the Holy Capital, and I … Err, temporarily had an additional balloon or kite …
