The Tyrannosaurus King, Barkal, was a legendary tyrant.
Although Barkal had always played the role of a tyrant who used cruel methods to rule over Heaven for hundreds of years, he was the first person to discover Herder's plot and fought against him alone. In the end, he was outnumbered and not only was he injured, he fled to Heaven and was stripped of his title as an Apostle.
During his rule over Heaven, Barkal used cruel methods to issue a demon-sealing order, forbidding the people of Heaven from using magic. This was because he knew that magic was meaningless in front of Herder, so he forced the people of Heaven to tap into the potential of science and technology. He would rather bear a lifetime of infamy and choose to fight against Herder.
From the strongest person in the Country of Dragons to the ninth Apostle of the Demon Realm, and then to the Tyrannosaurus King of Heaven, it could be said that Barkal had been fighting against fate his entire life. Even when he was overthrown by the people of Heaven with their powerful technology and died, his battle still continued.
For example, the Sky City and the City of Light's Master were his back-up plans.
Thus, when he heard Barkal's question, Tang Hao wasn't surprised at all.
What he truly didn't understand was the fact that he had seen Barkal. Why did the City of Light's Master activate the will that Barkal had left behind in Sky City after the explosion? And he … seemed to have entered his will?
"Herder, she's still alive."
"Is that so? She's still alive? What a sad piece of news. But since you've seen me here, it means that I'm already dead. You even called out my name just now. How much do you know about me? "
"Not much …" Tang Hao gave a simple reply.
"Hahaha!" After hearing this, Barkal laughed maniacally again. "You've been fighting against fate your entire life? That's a good summary. Although I don't need anyone's understanding, this sentence resonates deeply with me. Since the people of Heaven were able to defeat me, it means that humans already have the ability to fight against Herder. But … why did you destroy my Sky City? "
"Uh … That was an accident."
Tang Hao smiled sheepishly. Although he had no intention of destroying the Sky Castle, his final actions could indeed cause irreparable damage to the Sky Castle. It was indeed quite embarrassing to be caught red-handed by his master.
However, what made him feel slightly relieved was that he did not sense any invincible power from Barkal. Even that tall and sturdy figure seemed like it would disappear at any moment … After all, it was just a will. It did not have the combat power of a real body. So, he did not have to worry that the old dragon would attack him out of anger.
"So that's how it is. You're here to repair the large magic array … I ordered Seghart to manage Sky City. Regardless of his motives, it's only natural that he would attack you since you've barged in. However, you're quite interesting."
Bakar looked at Tang Hao and grinned. "The Sky City was sealed by my magic. Originally, only the power of an Apostle could destroy it. However, you are clearly as weak as a rookie, yet you brought a fatal blow to the Sky City. It seems that the humans of the future have more guts than I thought …"
At this point, Bakar's figure suddenly flickered. Just like a projection that had lost its signal, even his figure seemed to become blurry.
"This is?" Tang Hao revealed a curious look.
"I don't have much time left," Bakar said. "This will of mine is fused with the Sky City. Only when the Sky City receives a destructive blow will it be awakened. However, it will only exist for a few minutes at most. The reason why I kept this will was because I wanted to see what would happen after my death, to see what would happen to Herder."
"Although it was a little regretful that I did not hear the news of Herder's failure, at least I saw hope for the human race. This will of mine did not wake up for nothing. Then …" Bakar glared at Tang Hao. "One last question. If you had the power to fight against Herder, what would you do?"
"Of course I would smash his son," Tang Hao replied without hesitation.
"Smash his son?" Even Bakar was taken aback. Several seconds later, he began to laugh maniacally. "Haha … Hahahaha … This is the most interesting answer I've ever heard. If you can really do it, I really want to see that scene. Although I can't see it anymore, but …"
Bakar stared at him. "Seghart is an incomplete product of my creation. When he is loyal to my orders, he has no other possibilities other than to fight. However, when he self-destructs, his life as a warrior will come to an end. Although he will be revived due to the power of the Sky City, when I dissipate, I will take his consciousness with me, and he will enter eternal slumber with me. "
"After that, what will remain of him will be the embryonic form of a magical creature. While he retains great power, he will have a newborn consciousness. If you need him, you can take him with you. With your current strength, you will need such a helper. If he is with you, perhaps he will have a greater chance of survival. Then, let him take me to see the future you spoke of! "
"Light City Lord …" Tang Hao was stunned. He didn't expect Bakar to give him such a gift before he dissipated.
Sizzle —
Just as he was about to speak, Bakar's figure split apart and only a faint silhouette was left.
"Go, humans filled with unlimited possibilities. The future belongs to you. As for me, I shall enter eternal slumber …"
After this sentence, Tang Hao couldn't see or hear anything anymore. After a few moments, the surrounding white radiance dissipated and he realized that he had returned to the city lord's palace.
The Light City Lord was no longer in front of him. There was only a fist-sized ball of light floating in midair.
"Is this the embryonic form of the Light City Lord that Bakar mentioned?"
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment before he walked forward.
As he approached, the ball of light trembled slightly as though it were on guard. It shifted back by half an inch, but the radiance on it fluctuated violently as though Tang Hao was sizing it up. It seemed to be observing Tang Hao curiously.
Bakar mentioned that the Light City Lord's consciousness had entered eternal slumber with him. The newborn Light City Lord … No, it was no longer the Light City Lord. It was just a tiny ball of light. Even though it possessed the same strength as the Light City Lord, its newborn consciousness was like an infant, so it couldn't use its own strength and couldn't even transform into a human form.
I see. Is this the unlimited possibility that Bakar mentioned?
Tang Hao's gaze turned resolute. He extended his arm towards the ball of light and revealed a warm smile.
"So then, be my son and explore this world to your heart's content!"
The ball of light trembled violently. It approached Tang Hao as if it understood, but also as if it didn't. It flew around Tang Hao's body once, then extended a ribbon of light and carefully touched Tang Hao. Probably after confirming that there was no danger, it finally landed gently in Tang Hao's palm.
Tang Hao felt the ball of light in his palm. There was no resistance. Bakar might have given it an order.
"President!"
At this time, Asuna's voice suddenly sounded.
The ball of light trembled in fear. It turned into a beam of light and drilled into Tang Hao's sleeve.
Tang Hao felt that the ball of light seemed to be trembling and couldn't help but be shocked. Isn't it too timid?
Ignoring the ball of light for the time being, Tang Hao raised his head and saw Asuna, Kirito, and the others rushing in. They seemed to be a little anxious. Tang Hao went up to them and asked, "How's the situation with the magic array?"
"The magic array has been repaired, and our mission has been completed. President, how did you do it?" Kirito asked with an even more surprised expression.
In addition to repairing the magic array of Grand Woods and Sky City, the mission also required them to talk to the two Apostles. But so far, they hadn't even met a single Apostle. How did they suddenly complete the mission?
Tang Hao knew the reason. Herder borrowed Reinier's body to talk to him, and then Bakar's consciousness awakened. But … it was just a trace of consciousness. Did it count?
Tang Hao quickly took out his phone. Sure enough, there was a notification that the mission had been completed.
Even he didn't expect this result. Originally, he wanted to wait until the magic array of Sky City was repaired before going to the Sky Behemoth to see Rotters. But now, it was completely unnecessary. Of course, he also didn't have to risk being infected by the plague to talk to Dyrij in Nothmar. He was extremely lucky!
"Did Celia join the group?" Tang Hao looked at Celia. Perhaps it was because the magic array of Sky City was damaged, or maybe it was because of the battle with the Lord of Light City, but Celia's face was a little pale.
"That's the problem!" Asuna quickly said. "After the mission was completed, we told Celia about the chat room, but she didn't seem to receive it."
"Huh?"
Tang Hao was stunned. Didn't receive it? How is that possible! Although there were a lot of hidden settings in the chat room, this shouldn't be a bug … Wait, could it be that Celia didn't have a communication tool?
Speaking of which, this was indeed a problem. Others either had a mobile phone or other communication tools. Even Solon had a Den Den Mushi. But Celia didn't have anything.
"I … I don't know …" Celia shook her head. She had only heard about the chat room for less than five minutes. Apart from knowing that Tang Hao and the others were a group from another world and wanted to pull her in, she didn't have any specific understanding. Or rather, she couldn't understand what was going on.
"This …"
Tang Hao had no choice but to privately chat with Amethyst to hear her opinion.
At the same time, Reni was dumbfounded. What group chat? She couldn't understand at all. Compared to these, she was more concerned about the Light City Lord. She couldn't see him at all. Had he been eliminated by Tang Hao?
"Eh?" Suddenly, Reni blinked her eyes strangely.
"What's wrong?" Asuna asked.
"Inside …" Reni pointed at Tang Hao's sleeve. "Something is glowing."
"Glowing?" Everyone looked over at the same time. Even Tang Hao lowered his head. Then, he saw half of the light ball quickly drill back, but in less than two seconds, another band of light came out, as if it was sizing everyone up.
Is this what it means to observe secretly?
Tang Hao was completely speechless. This light ball was really like a child. It was too timid and too vigilant.
"President, what is this thing?" Kirito asked curiously.
"Oh, it's the Lord of Light City."
Tang Hao replied calmly and casually, then privately chatted with Amethyst.
Everyone was shocked by his words and exclaimed in unison. "The Lord of Light City?!"
Reni was so scared that her hands trembled, and her heavy sword almost fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, it's normal." Tang Hao said without raising his head, but he was very satisfied with their reaction. This was the effect he wanted, and now he didn't have time to explain to them.
Da Bendan: So …
Bang!
Tang Hao was still typing, but before he could send it out, something seemed to have smashed into the ground. The entire ground shook, and he almost typed a bunch of garbled characters.
"What's wrong?" Tang Hao quickly asked.
"Ah!" "Err … President, when Celia repaired the magic array, she said that the power of the Sky Castle is draining away, so it … it seems to be collapsing." Asuna and the others' expressions changed as if they had just recalled something.
Damn!
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"… I forgot."
"How can you forget this kind of thing? I really doubt your brains!" Tang Hao couldn't help but roar. But … Bakal also said that the Sky Castle was destroyed, so his will was awakened. So, it was referring to this?
Bang!
At this moment, a huge stone slab fell down. It was the room they were in.
"Still not running? Waiting for death! " Seeing that everyone was stunned, Tang Hao shouted and immediately ran toward the exit. The others quickly followed. However, it was not this castellan's palace that was collapsing, but the entire Sky Castle. They were on the top floor, so where could they run to?
"Celia!" Seeing that everyone was panicking, Tang Hao grabbed Celia's arm. "Amethyst said that communication tools aren't limited to external devices. There are also tools that come with the human body, such as the brain. Think about it carefully, the chat room should have been inputted into your memory. Now, only you can save us!"
Yes, as long as it was a communication tool, no matter what it was, it could be installed as the host of the chat room.
As for Celia's implant, it was very likely to be a mind.
Because she used to be an Elf, and one of the ways to communicate with the Elves was through telepathy!
"I … I got it." Celia's expression changed. Although she didn't quite understand, she still tried to dig out the information in her memory. The collapse of Sky Castle was getting more and more serious, and they didn't know where to go. Tang Hao decided to stop running and let the four of them protect Celia to prevent the falling rocks from hitting her and disrupting her thoughts.
"I … I got it!"
Suddenly, Celia exclaimed, and her face lit up.
"Hurry up and enter the group!" Tang Hao urged.
Celia quickly nodded. Just as Tang Hao had said, the chat room directly appeared in the depths of her memory. Although it was completely unfamiliar to her, she could search through her memory, so it was much easier for her to understand compared to other people who used mobile phones. She instantly grasped how to use it.
As for the name, there was no need to think about it at this time …
[Celia has joined the 2-D chat room]
"Success!"
Asuna couldn't help but cheer when she saw this notification.
Crack!
At the same time, a huge stone slab that was about ten meters long collapsed from above them. Reinier and Celia were so scared that their faces turned pale. Even Kirito's expression changed. This kind of huge and solid stone slab was not something he could cut open with his strength.
However, when the stone slab was less than a few meters away from them, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if time had stopped.
"Oh, oh, it's really a one-hit wonder. I'm not too late, right?"
In mid-air, a woman in twelve unlined clothes slowly floated down.
Mount Penglai, I Have Everything, Kaguya!
"The magical aura seems to be very faint."
Then, another person appeared in mid-air.
Patchouli.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's send the irrelevant people out first."
Amethyst followed closely. With a gentle wave of her fan, a gap opened behind Reinier and swallowed her.
"Huh?" Reinier opened his eyes and found that he had returned to West Coast. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why are all of you here?" When Kaguya appeared, Tang Hao was completely relieved. Her ability was to turn an instant into an eternity. Although the larger the range, the smaller the impact. Even if it covered the entire Sky City, it would still take a few decades for it to fall.
However, he was a little surprised that Patchouli appeared.
"I'm a little interested." Patchouli said lightly. "I'm at a bottleneck in my latest research, so I came to take a look. Maybe I can make a breakthrough."
Tang Hao suddenly sweated. If he remembered correctly, Patchouli said that she was at a bottleneck a month ago, but she was still at a bottleneck now. Her bottleneck was really big.
"They … are they all from the chatroom?" Celia looked at Amethyst and the other two curiously.
"Yes, it's our first time meeting. Please take care of me." Amethyst smiled slightly, then looked at Tang Hao and the others. "Also, you can go back now. I'll take over this world for the time being."
Sky City had already collapsed to this extent. Kirito and Asuna didn't want to stay any longer, and Tang Hao also planned to go back and study the little light ball. So, the three said goodbye to Celia and immediately returned to their respective worlds.
Then, Amethyst asked Kaguya, "How long can you maintain this state?"
"Why? Didn't you just say that you were going to put away the Sky City? "
"It's a pity to let it be destroyed like this, but if I put it away directly, it'll cause too much noise."
"Sky City is so big that it won't fall unless I stay here all the time. But if you want me to stay here for ten or twenty years, that's just a dream." Kaguya said.
"Sigh, okay …" Amethyst sighed. "Then I'll just put it away."
Then, countless gaps opened, and in less than a few minutes, the huge Sky City disappeared without a trace.
"Are you Doraemon Zi?"
Kaguya couldn't help but complain.
