The monsters' gatherings would always have unexpected developments. From eating and drinking to fighting, to reciting poems, it would only take a few seconds. Sometimes, these lawless monsters would suddenly become excited without even needing to change. These monsters were used to this kind of lifestyle, and the Olympian Gods who often hung out with them seemed to be used to it as well. When Ibuki Suika excitedly jumped in front of the bonfire and announced that she was going to fight the Dragon God, not a single person expressed any surprise. Instead, there was a wave of enthusiastic cheers. Even Zeus was only slightly stunned by this. Then, he looked in our direction with an inquisitive gaze. I nodded slightly at him, indicating that I had no opinion on this matter.
Anyway, seeing Cui Xiang, who was still alive and kicking, being tossed around by Lin was indeed a very interesting thing. Since she had decided not to think about anything tonight and was going to completely relax, she would just play along with them. At the very most, she would just have to work a little harder and bring Ling Meng and Purple over to clean up the battlefield.
Speaking of which, it didn't seem like I had to work too hard …
There was a very large stone plaza on the peak of Mount Olympus. These giant stones were man-made using experimental materials left behind by the Old Empire's expedition team in ancient times. They were almost as sturdy as the highest grade of interstellar alloy. However, even with such sturdiness, they might not be able to withstand the blows of the two monster kings. So, under our orders, Zeus added a double layer of insurance to the plaza and activated the enhanced defense system in the temple. Suddenly, the extremely wide stone plaza emitted a faint blue light. This blue light flashed for a while before slowly disappearing into the cracks of the stone. It looked like it had returned to its original appearance, but those who were more sensitive could already sense that the ground under their feet was vastly different from before.
"Through the interference generated by the inert psionic force field, certain fundamental particles with a specific resonance period can be fixed in space, and even their quantum effects can be terminated," Sandora said as she gently stepped on the ground. "Coupled with the high-speed mainframe required for this force field, it is a 'charged armor' with defense beyond the limits of matter. The fundamental particles fixed in the inert psionic force field can even ignore the tearing of a black hole because they no longer rely on the forces within matter to maintain their integrity. Instead, they are fixed in all dimensions. Among all the physical armors, the charged armor using psionic technology ranks first. Compared to it, neutron star matter is like iron compared to steel."
"Life is also full of science."
Lin Xue concluded in a deep voice.
I thought for a while, my face bewildered. "Who would need such a brutal thing in their lives?"
"I think our refrigerator and washing machine shells should have a layer of rechargeable armor," my sister said worriedly. "Before Lin takes them all out."
Alright, it seems like this is really a necessary science in life.
The atmosphere at the scene was already heated up, but there were still people who were unwilling to join in the fun. You Youzi, who was still leisurely drinking tea in the distance, and a few quiet "old monsters" were representatives. However, no one's attention was focused on them now.
"Erm, are we really going to fight?"
Lin had already changed into her special battle robe. Even though it was called a battle robe, it was actually just a set of light, close-fitting armor. A soft white waistcoat, a short battle skirt interwoven with metal and leather, and a beautiful hair accessory that was claimed to be the Goddess's crown, but was actually just a golden circlet. This was Dragon God Lin's sacred armor. She looked as cool as a hula dancer who had just returned from Hawaii. She had already been forcefully dragged by the remaining four of the five Protoss Cops to the arena. Standing opposite of her was Ibuki Suika, who was gulping down her wine. The two of them were surrounded by a rather large empty space. The audience had already consciously made way for the two Monster Kings to stretch their muscles, so they didn't have to worry about accidentally injuring each other. However, even though the surroundings were filled with enthusiastic cheers, Lin didn't seem to have any fighting spirit. Not only was she helplessly twisting the corner of her clothes, she even had a faint sobbing tone as she repeatedly confirmed with me. "Can we not fight?"
"Look, it's not like we purposely bullied her." Monina shrugged and shook her head with a bitter smile. "She was born to be bullied. Back then, when she met her archbishop for the first time, she even ran away because she had stage fright and forgot her lines. If it were you, wouldn't you bully her?"
I admit that if you met someone like Lin, you would really regret it if you didn't bully her along the way.
"Lin, don't worry! The arena is definitely safe. As long as you don't use your Divine Form, nothing will happen! "
The only completely heartless fellow in the arena was jumping up and down next to me, loudly cheering for his Dragon God sister who had stage fright. He was waving a small flag in his hand that I didn't know where he got it from. On the front of the flag, the words "One World, One Dream" were written. On the back of the flag, the words "Celebrating the Closing of the London Olympic Games" were written. I felt that this little thing really suited the image of a Shallow Shallow. From top to bottom, it gave off a feeling that she had traveled through time and space.
I knew why a great Dragon God would actually retreat in this kind of competition that clearly didn't pose any threat to her. That was because she had already left a psychological scar on her. The number of things that she messed up was almost as many as the number of times that Jingle made up for her exams. As time passed, it caused this stupid Goddess to seriously lack confidence in everything she did. She was afraid that she would accidentally injure Cui Xiang. By nature, Lin was a kind and timid fellow. According to the Protoss's concept, she wasn't even an adult yet.
However, with Shallow Shallow's encouragement, especially with her three teammates and a big sister's unwavering attitude of pushing her into the fire pit, Lin finally made up her mind. She lightly bumped her fist and said to Cui Xiang who was not too far away, "Then let's compete a little. Based on what we agreed before, I will only use this form and definitely not my Divine Form."
Not using her Divine Form meant that Lin's strength would be limited to an inconceivable level. Furthermore, she wouldn't carry the pressure of a God. She might try her best to compress her strength to a level that a mortal could imagine in order to compete "fairly" with Cui Xiang who was the King of Strength. However, we all knew that this kind of fairness was nonsense from the start. How could Cui Xiang defeat a Star Region Protoss?
That lass was purely drunk.
"Don't use that Dragon Form. That way, I won't be able to knock off your scales." Cui Xiang burped and scratched her head dizzily. However, after laughing foolishly, she nodded her head knowingly. "However, if you really want to use that kind of strength, we really can't compete. Yeah, even if you don't use your Dragon Form, I won't go easy on you. Now, go all out! "
Cui Xiang suddenly shouted. Without any warning, she activated her special ability. Then, with an inconceivable speed, she rapidly "grew"!
Gigantification, this was the big-horned loli's signature skill, Gigantification Cui Xiang!
I felt waves of heat coming from behind me. Turning my head to look, I was instantly speechless. Pandora and Visca looked like they were about to overload.
Watching a creature that wasn't too far away from them suddenly grow a hundred times taller must have been a very stressful thing. Cui Xiang would probably have to walk around these two for a period of time in the foreseeable future.
"Hehe, with such a huge body, it won't be easy for you to win like last time." The gigantified Cui Xiang lowered her head and looked at Lin. Although her height had increased by almost a hundred times, she had become a huge chibi loli with a three-headed body ratio. It looked extremely funny, but it was undeniable that her current height had perfectly reversed the situation when she had fought against Lin. Due to her small stature, she had been knocked into a deep pit by Lin's fingernails. At the very least, with her current body ratio, it would be impossible for Lin to defeat Cui Xiang with her fingernails. "You have to be careful now, Sister God. With my strength, I can effortlessly push down a mountain … Heh! … "
As the gigantic loli said that, she suddenly raised her foot and stomped down on Lin, who was now like a little bean compared to her. This scene felt very familiar, and I immediately recalled that this was the scene of Lin using her fingernail to knock the fragrant incense into the basalt layer. Of course, this was a reenactment of the situation.
"I'm going to take revenge … Huh?"
Cui Xiang excitedly said halfway before her expression suddenly changed. Her foot that was about to step down also froze in the air. After the crowd looked at her in bewilderment for a short while, she quickly shrunk like a deflated balloon. She once again returned to the size of a short, big-horned loli. She hugged her feet and jumped around the field. As she jumped, she shouted, "Ayaya, ayaya! It hurts, it hurts! "
Lin was still standing in her original position. She noticed the gazes that were directed at her. She turned her head and gave me an innocent expression. I noticed that she maintained a posture with one hand raised. It seemed that she had planned to catch Cui Xiang's foot just now.
Cuixiang was still wailing and screaming for her father and mother. She had already circled the field with one leg. I was still puzzled. My elder sister watched for a long time before muttering uncertainly, "Could it be … that I hit the Yongquan point?"
Everyone was shocked. I pointed in Cui Xiang's direction and exclaimed, "Does a monster have a Yongquan acupoint?"
"No matter what acupoint it is, stepping on a nail is definitely uncomfortable, especially the sole of the foot." Lin Xue suddenly shivered. She looked at Lin, who was still maintaining her indomitable posture. "I swear, this is the strangest competition I've ever seen in my life …" Lin mysteriously won this challenge.
Lin mysteriously won this challenge, but she appeared to be completely confused. Her physics teacher must have died a long time ago, and so did Cui Xiang. Perhaps both of them were taught physics by Uncle Zhao who sold pancakes. At any rate, when Mo Nina cheerfully pulled her off the stage, the idiotic Dragon God was still in a daze. Seeing this, I began to sigh. Sometimes, innate talent really did determine a person's fate. For someone as weak as Lin, just by relying on her ridiculous natural talents as a Protoss, she was able to remain undefeated. Since ancient times, there have been many such examples. Not mentioning anything else, just take a look at how Newton was able to discover gravity when he smashed something on his head, while Ximen Qing only discovered Pan Jinlian … Speaking of which, wasn't this topic a little too ridiculous?
"Boring, boring. I thought it would be fun." Shallow Shallow threw away the little flag dejectedly. She planned to continue eating and drinking with a bunch of dolls. However, the moment she lifted her foot, a girl's shout came from the crowd that was about to disperse. "Hey! Hey! I haven't gone up yet! I'm the best! Who wants to compete with me! "
I turned my head and saw Elune skipping towards me. There was even a fluoride-free frequency switch on her head. She was pouncing towards me. She probably thought that she was fast, but the moment she jumped, I grabbed her head and she started fluttering in the air. "Why didn't you call me along! I want to participate in such an interesting event! "
I first tore off the fluoride-free frequency switch on her head. "Who put this on you?"
"Her." Elune pointed happily at Liliana, who was trying to trick Fran Doru into drinking soy sauce ten meters away. "She said that this is a necessary symbol of an outstanding Fairy!"
I immediately went over to pick up Liliana and gave her a smack on the head. "Do you feel any sense of accomplishment in finding stupid people to bully all day long?"
Elune didn't seem to know that she was being bullied, nor did she want to take back her tag. She just flew around, looking for someone to fight with. Unfortunately, no one was interested in this noisy idiot. The Fairies realized that the most interesting match had ended in a trap, so they had long lost interest and returned to the bonfire to drink and chat. Elune flew around the square for a long time. In the end, she returned to her old trade. With a huge washbasin on her head, she started to circle around and sell popsicles.
At this moment, a huge bluish-white light suddenly rose from the edge of the city in the distance. Following the low and melodious sound of a horn, the light slowly slanted toward the center of Atlantis. In the end, it left a huge bright spot in the middle of the shield above the city.
* Woo! * The low sound of the horn began to resound from every corner of the city. Looking down from the peak of Mount Olympus, all the torches and flame altars were burning brighter than before. The red flames were like swimming fire snakes, wandering around the city. Then, a second bluish-white light rose from the other side of the city. After sweeping the edge of the city for a while, it slowly slanted toward the sky above the center of the city.
The Fairies burst into cheers. Wenwen flew high into the sky and took pictures of the light beams rising from every corner of the city. Zeus stood up, holding the scepter that was flashing with psionic lightning. He slammed it on the ground three times and shouted, "Light!"
"What's going on?"
I had never seen such a scene before. I grabbed a Fairies running by and asked. However, the Fairies meowed and disappeared. It turned out to be Orange Meow, the kid who didn't know anything.
Fortunately, Orange Meow's nanny was right behind us. Her blue face wore a cheerful smile. She pointed at the city of Atlantis, which was surrounded by many light beams. "It's the Rite of the Night! The big guys hold the Rite of the Night every ten days! "
The big guys were, of course, referring to the Atlanteans. But what was this Rite of the Night that was held every ten days?
The Nine-tailed Fox had a gentle personality, much better than the Eight Cloud Purple, who always caused trouble. She immediately explained to us the special religious custom of the Atlanteans. Although she was a Fairies, she seemed to have a deep understanding of the Atlanteans.
From the name alone, one could tell that the Nightfall Ceremony was a religious activity held at night. However, it was not simply held to welcome the night. According to the mythological records, a long, long time ago, before the Atlanteans were favored by the gods, the earth was covered with huge and ferocious beasts such as mammoths, dragons, and pythons. These terrifying creatures caused all humans to live in fear. Although the Atlanteans had built houses made of clay, wood, and stone with their wisdom and used torches to illuminate their houses at night, they still could not resist the attacks of these beasts at night.
In that era, the night was terrifying to humans. Even though the Atlanteans had built towns and a glorious civilization, they had only lost a few people compared to the barbarians at the borders.
It was during that era that the capital of the Atlantean ancient civilization was almost destroyed.
Because of a disaster caused by a magma eruption, the giant beasts near the largest town in ancient Atlantis lost their homes and went berserk. Countless giant beasts rushed out of the forest, which had a harsh living environment. They were driven to the low-lying land by the magma and sulfur that flowed down from the mountains. They surrounded the human town. After the magma solidified, it formed a highly toxic blockade. Humans and beasts were locked in a deadly cage, fighting for survival space. The siege formed by the natural disaster lasted for ten days.
The magma burned the fertile fields, the highly toxic sulfur caused the slaves in the wilderness to die suddenly, and the weaker but more bloodthirsty beasts surrounded the city that was in danger. The walls made of boulders and ancient wood were smashed by the mammoths, and the brown-horned dragons continued to rush into the city from the air, braving arrows and javelins to hunt the humans. When ten days had passed, the entire city no longer had the slightest ability to resist and was about to be destroyed.
On the tenth day, the night fell. The beasts that were active in the night became restless again. The humans began to despair. The city was bound to be breached on this night, and the reinforcements sent by other cities were still blocked by the volcanic ash outside the low-lying land. It seemed that all hope had been severed, and then …
Just as everyone thought, the Empire's scientific research fleet arrived on Earth that night.
Twelve psionic cannons that fell from the sky pierced the night sky, killing the beast army that was rushing into the city almost instantly. Then, the Celestial Chariot that was wrapped in lightning and fire descended from the sky.
This was the myth of Atlantis, and even the beginning of the history of Earth's mythology. In the records of the Atlantean civilization's relief sculptures, it was called the "Tenth Night's Arrival" or the "Twelve Lights".
This was the origin of the Ceremony of Nightfall. It was held once every ten days in a big city. Twelve laser beams were shot into the sky to symbolize the Empire's scientific research fleet that had descended. The starting time of the ceremony also followed the legendary time of God's arrival: two hours and twelve minutes after the sun touched the horizon.
Hmm … wait, something doesn't seem right …
Two hours and twelve minutes … two hours and twelve minutes … Damn, the "disappearance of the sun" and the "earth-shattering changes" actually referred to the time when it was night and the first BBQ that the aliens had on Earth?!
