"That's not it."
Sandora and Visca said at the same time.
I immediately looked at the two of them curiously, not understanding why they would have such a strange reaction.
Sandora let out a long sigh, then pointed at the crystal prism in the middle of the room and said, "Look at the things on it, I'm afraid that the situation back then wasn't as simple as we thought it to be."
Visca's expression changed a few times, then she finally lowered her head, reaching out her small hand to grab onto the corner of my shirt.
Shallow Shallow and I had a confused expression on our faces, we looked at each other, but we couldn't figure out the reason behind it. Pandora, who was beside me, came closer and whispered, "Stupid little sister …"
This was the first time Pandora had called Visca as' little sister ', and the latter was acting as though she had done something wrong, this was too abnormal.
Big Sis had followed Sandora's instructions to the side of the crystal prism that had numbers and characters floating on it, curiously observing the things on it.
"What's going on?"
I walked over confusedly and asked.
Big Sis pointed at the information floating on the crystal prism and said, "Take a look at it yourself … This information is a little strange."
"Oh." I agreed, then started to observe the words on the crystal prism — — I couldn't understand the numbers at all, and I believed that big sis and Shallow Shallow, who had been looking at it for a long time, couldn't understand it either, at least I could find some psychological balance in this aspect …
I strenuously tried to decipher the Xi Ling characters that looked like scribbles. Even though I could understand every single word written on it, and wasn't unfamiliar with the strange grammar, it was still a language from another civilization after all. It was still difficult to read. It was different from foreign languages like English or German. At the very least, it was something created by humans. As for the alien characters … I just couldn't understand why the Xi Ling characters had eight syllables …
However, no matter how difficult it was to read, I was still able to gradually understand a portion of the content. After removing the overly specialized terms and theories that were difficult to compare, as well as the unimportant descriptions of the test subjects … Damn it, there was nothing left …
"This, looks like an analysis report on the weaknesses of human metahumans, right?"
I said uncertainly, there was no helping it, I could only understand the title after removing the useless stuff …
Sandora nodded and said, "Not only is it an analysis of human metahumans, it also contains the measures to deal with metahumans, methods to eliminate them, experimental data on the devices that nullify metahumans, as well as some actual data on the large-scale elimination of metahumans."
The more I listened, the more surprised I became, my face filled with question marks.
The elder sister turned around and pointed at the holographic projections that were still floating quietly, asking in surprise, "In other words, the research here isn't on how to create metahumans, but … on how to eliminate them?"
"How could that be?" Shallow Shallow was confused, "Weren't the first generation of metahumans created by the Shiring Apostles? Why are there only methods to eliminate metahumans here? "
I felt Weska, who was next to me, suddenly shiver. The little girl whispered, "Because... Because I'm an intruder..."
"It seems like the first generation of metahumans wasn't created by Visca."
Sandora sighed with a complicated expression, then leaned down, her ocean-blue eyes glowing with determination as she looked straight into Visca's eyes, which were trying to avoid her gaze.
"Visca, can you tell me now?"
The little girl hesitated, but in the end, she told us the story. Of course, she told us everything from the perspective of a bystander.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago on Earth, there was once a human kingdom that had sprouted the radiance of civilization. They created a splendid culture, studied astrology, architecture, art, and had a complete system of writing and knowledge transmission. They established a slave system, and through conquering and assimilating the surrounding small tribes and cities, they gradually became the world's most powerful Empire. They established strict and benevolent laws, even declaring that slaves had the right to live and the opportunity to obtain freedom through military exploits. This allowed the ancient Empire to possess an astonishing cohesiveness and a stable social order. The flower of civilization gradually bloomed on the ancient land. According to the historical fragments of the Atlantis Kingdom that were discovered a long time later, they had even started to realize the shocking fact that the earth had a curvature.
As Atlantis continued to develop and ushered in a glorious era, the Gods finally paid attention to these hardworking and kind people and brought them the greatest glory: the Gods personally descended on the earth.
They came on a giant ship surrounded by lightning and smoke, descending on the earth in endless glory. The warriors of the Gods could summon spears that could shoot flames and bows that could release thunder. They used such weapons to destroy the huge beasts that harassed the mortals in the north of Atlantis and the terrifying sea monsters that stirred up trouble in the sea. They also sealed the thunder in the sky into stones and helped the humans to sweep the mountains in the south that blocked the rain. In order to express their gratitude and reverence, the King of Atlantis hoped to build a magnificent temple for these Gods to live in. However, the Gods declined such offerings because they had abilities that were far beyond the imagination of humans. The two girls from the God Realm called themselves the Builders. Within seven days, they built a city made of steel and lightning in the west of the capital of Atlantis.
Although they were very powerful, the Gods were benevolent and willing to help the mortals. After they helped the mortals sweep away the threats around them, they began to teach them knowledge. They taught them how to smelt metal more efficiently and build houses. They told them the secrets of the stars in the sky and how to predict the weather. When the huge sea monsters in the sea were destroyed, the Gods also helped the humans build a fleet and guided them to leave the mainland to search for a wider world on the other side of the sea. These Gods called themselves the "Observers".
With the help of the Gods, Atlantis developed rapidly and ushered in its most glorious era. The people were not afraid of natural disasters. They were hardworking and brave. They expanded their territory to every corner of the world that could be explored. They passed on the mercy and wisdom of the Gods to every backward and barbaric nation. Moreover, they strictly followed the laws set by the Gods to live. The whole world was in order. They gradually learned to make simple machines and used those magical creations from the God Realm to do many things that were previously unimaginable. That was the peak of the Atlantis civilization.
Then, the Chaos came.
The evil Gods finally could not stand the prosperity of the world. They cut through the sky and rushed to the earth in chariots burning with black flames. They splashed the magma of hell and violent lightning everywhere. Many mortals who were not strong-willed were also shaken by the despotic power of the Evil Gods. They turned into black monsters and launched cruel attacks on the orderly human camp.
The gods immediately organized a counterattack. Cities of steel rose from the ground and shot blinding white light at the invading Evil Gods. The ships they came in also bared their fangs, using lightning and fire to fight. The most powerful gods worked together to create a powerful barrier, isolating the flames of war in the sky and the raging plague outside.
However, although the Gods were very powerful, the Evil Gods had the advantage in numbers. Moreover, their Fallen Energy was constantly turning the animals on the ground into huge monsters. These monsters attacked the humans and made the Gods run for their lives.
Thus, the wise gods began to select powerful warriors from among their people and brought them to the Great Temple, allowing them to receive the light of the Heavenly Realm and bestowing divinity upon these devout believers. These created gods quickly reversed the numerical advantage of the Evil Gods over the other gods, and the war between the two sides entered a stalemate.
However, one day, a huge disaster suddenly came. The cunning Evil Gods ambushed the Moon God and took the power of the moon for themselves. The golden moon that shined and blessed humans for countless years was stained with the color of blood. Two ominous crimson halos formed around the moon. As the halos flashed, a low hum of red light fell from the sky. Overnight, the continent was fragmented, the ocean began to boil, and the sky was ignited with a raging fire. The once prosperous Atlantis civilization was destroyed in an instant …
In the records of ancient humans, history ended here.
When Visca finished telling the "story", the Information Center was silent. Although she didn't say it out loud, we could easily imagine what the Gods and Evil Gods in this story represented. The other version of this story should be easier to understand.
A few hundred thousand years ago, a primitive civilization once existed on Earth. This primitive civilization attracted the interest of a Schilling expedition team. This expedition team came to Earth and tried to help the energetic humans. However, good things didn't last long. A … cough cough, a crazy Shiring Apostles led a large number of rebels to follow the expedition team to Earth. When enemies met, their eyes turned red. The Shiring Apostles and the Fallen Alliance broke out in the largest battle in the history of the Milky Way. The expedition team, which was outnumbered, was beaten back. However, it was said that the scientists knew martial arts … In any case, the scientists' brains were very scary. They actually found a way to strengthen the weak natives of Earth into super men. One by one, superhumans who wore their underwear on the outside were mass-produced, turning the tide of the war. However, unfortunately, the rebel army had a leader class apostle. She summoned a planetary fortress, which could be a crustal-breaking cannon or an atmospheric vaporization bomb. In any case, the expedition team was instantly killed …
"And then?"
Seeing that Visca had sunk into silence, I instinctively felt that this story wasn't over yet. At the very least, why would Visca leave her intergalactic space carrier in Earth's orbit? If this brat still had a space carrier with her when she was in Azeroth … Oh, the current Earth should be 2012.
Visca recalled for a moment. It seemed that she still had a vague memory of that period of time. Then, she slowly said, "Then, the expedition team's reinforcements came and I was defeated. After that, my memory was a mess again. I was with the other Fallen Apostles and so on … To be honest, it was only now that I remembered that I had such a space carrier …"
Then, all of us together.
It was Visca's crazy era. I really didn't know how many outrageous things this brat had done during that period of time. She had even destroyed the previous human civilization.
In that case, Visca's ability to deal with metahumans could be explained. As early as 700,000 years ago, this brat had already been dealing with metahumans!
In that case, the technology that Olympus had mastered to deal with metahumans, especially the interference device that could block Lin Xue's sight, was probably found in the ruins that Visca had left behind.
At this time, we finally understood why Visca had been so uneasy since the beginning. She had even shown many abnormal reactions. As the culprit who had destroyed the human ancestors, no one would be able to remain calm at this time.
However, if we were to really talk about hostility, this brat was really thinking too much. Even though we knew that Visca's actions had surprised us, it was difficult for me to feel a sense of solidarity with the ancient civilizations that had been destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was just like how we would only say "Oh" when we learned that the dinosaurs had been destroyed by a meteorite.
"Silly girl." I rubbed Visca's soft face. "You are thinking too much."
"Silly sister." Pandora repeated again in a low voice. This time I finally understood what she meant. As the Shiring Apostles who had been with me for the longest time, Pandora probably knew that no matter what Visca had done hundreds of thousands of years ago, I would not blame her. So, when facing Visca's anxiety, she called her a 'silly sister'.
Visca was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into a reassuring smile. She whispered something that she had never said before, "Sister is the silly one …"
I was absolutely sure that Pandora had overloaded herself. The brat's head had begun to emit white smoke!
At this moment, Soldier Schilling, who had gone to search for Artemis, suddenly sent back a message. "Number ST-32 reporting! The third data center has found traces of intruders. A small team is approaching! "
"Let's get to work!" I whispered. Then, I pulled Visca. "Girl, lead the way!"
Under the lead of Visca, who was familiar with the terrain, we quickly passed through the labyrinthine information storage area and approached the location of the data center. It was quite close to the core control room, and it happened to be in the direction we had originally planned.
"The third data center has not found the target. The other party may have moved."
"Abnormal temperature remains in the emergency passage on the left. Estimated distance from the target is 300 meters …"
Hundreds of well-trained and powerful warriors gathered toward the same target under the guidance of a message. Gradually, a three-dimensional net was formed in this complex spherical facility. All possible passages were blocked one by one, and there were few areas that could be excluded. To be jointly hunted by such an elite force directly under the leadership of the Shiring Apostles, perhaps even the most dangerous interstellar criminal did not have such a privilege. Artemis should be proud of this alone.
"Target found in the scanning area." In the corridor leading to the core control room, Pandora suddenly stopped and whispered, "The target is expected to appear in six seconds … five seconds, four seconds, three seconds …"
All kinds of energy instantly filled the entire corridor. All of us focused on the corner in front of us. There was still no one there, but the faint sound of footsteps could be heard.
"Two seconds, one second … The target has appeared!"
"Time Stop!"
As soon as a black figure appeared at the corner, it was stopped in mid-air without any suspense.
The whole process of the chase could be said to be without suspense. It was easy and pleasant.
"Weak." Sister put a simple curse on Artemis, and then Shallow Shallow undid her ability.
The woman in black fell to the ground in a sorry state. She seemed to want to struggle, but obviously did not have the strength to do so.
"Don't waste your time. Even the leader of the demons can't withstand sister's curse." I came in front of her and leaned down to take off the strange white mask. "Uh, look at Speke tearing you apart?"
"No country can understand what you're saying, right?"
Shallow Shallow put her hand on her forehead and looked helpless. I don't know who was the one who punished me to stand in every English class. In the end, we were called the English Killer, the Gemini Star, the Ultimate Patriot. Oh, please underline the last title.
Just as Zeus confessed, the mastermind known as Artemis was indeed a woman. And this time, when we saw the other party's face, we realized that the other party could only be described as a girl. She looked to be less than seventeen or eighteen years old, right?
It was a beautiful foreign girl with long blonde hair and a stubborn expression. Although she was an enemy, I still have to say that it was hard for me to associate such a seemingly harmless girl with the mastermind of some evil organization.
"I didn't expect you to be able to track us here." The blonde girl collapsed on the ground. Although she was in a desperate situation, she did not look afraid at all. "You also found the way to make and activate the astrolabe left behind by the ancient civilization?"
"I thought you were going to say the ruins of the Gods." I said.
Although she was captured, the blonde girl remained calm. At this moment, she smiled mockingly and shook her head. "Gods? That's just something used to fool those fools. How can there be gods in this world? "
Yes, there is one in my house, and it's a goddess who ranked last in countless make-up exams. By the way, isn't the last sentence a little redundant?
It's funny when you think about it. The Olympus organization, whose highest goal was to follow the footsteps of the gods and create a new era of mythology, turned out to be an atheist. Should I say that fate is unpredictable?
The sound of metal boots stomping on the ground could be heard from every corner of the crossroads, and teams of fierce warriors in black armor swarmed in from all directions. Amidst the clanking sounds of firearms, the blonde girl's head was already being aimed at by Lin Li's long and short guns at the same time.
"It seems that your research on the ruins of the ancient civilization is more successful than that of the Olympus." The blonde girl looked at the stiff and cold warriors around her in surprise. The advanced weapons that obviously did not belong to human technology made her sigh. "Maybe I should have treated you as a partner from the beginning …"
