"Xi!"
Irin saw this familiar word in this strange world, in this strange era.
He didn't believe that this was a coincidence.
There couldn't be such a coincidence.
The god that Uruk believed in was … Xi!
It was Xi 'er!
Although the statue of the goddess wasn't carved very clearly.
It couldn't be compared to a high-definition uncensored photo.
But..,
It was undeniable that Irin could vaguely see the shadow of Xiaoxi from the solemn and dignified facial features.
When Irin was in the world of Uranus, he knew that gods had different faces.
One moment a young woman, the next a young girl, the next a child, the next a mature woman.
Perhaps a god's face was not something that could never be changed.
Perhaps, even men and women could be easily changed.
In any case, Irin saw the statue of Xiaoxi at this time, this moment, and this place.
Then..,
What did this place mean.
Was it an accident that they came here?
Or did it have some special meaning?
If it was said that this was the only "singularity" that existed in the world, a container that was separated, independent, and sealed from the normal axis of time, then this place would be called a "singularity". In other words, what was about to happen in Uruk five thousand years ago had really happened?
In other words … this was Xi's past!
A long past!
Irin began to wonder if he came here purely because of the layout of Bathermero and the Clock Tower.
Gradually, as Irin's understanding of the world deepened.
He understood one thing.
There was no coincidence in the world.
If there really was..,
Then it must be intertwined with countless threads, which eventually led to fate.
Ironically, at this time, Irin actually remembered Gu Tianqing's smiling question.
"Do you believe in fate?"
While Irin was shocked, puzzled, and puzzled.
"Woo — —"
The long and heavy sound of the horn resounded throughout Uruk.
The people of Uruk, who were devoutly worshipping the statue of Xi and chanting repeatedly, raised their heads at the same time and looked at the palace when the horn sounded.
Gilgamesh's residence.
At the same time.
In an instant, there was silence.
Whether it was praying,
Or doing business in the market,
Or they were playing and playing.
Whether it was the old or the young,
Or men and women.
Everyone quieted down as the horn continued to sound.
All the Uruk people moved in unison as they slowly stood up and looked at the top of the temple.
At this moment, the magnificent palace at the top of the temple tower became the focus of the entire Uruk.
At the top of the palace, a golden totem shone brightly under the sunlight.
A man walked out of the palace, step by step, under the silent pressure.
It was Gilgamesh.
To him, the half-meter flight of stairs was just a small step.
He was calm and composed as he looked at the world with cold eyes.
In the heavy and weird atmosphere that was unintentionally created by the sound of the horn and the dead silence, Gilgamesh's footsteps seemed to be out of place with the whole world. But for some reason, when it fell on this strange man, it seemed that it was natural for him to be the center of attention.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Gilgamesh's movements were clearly very slow.
However, his figure fell half a meter with each step. In the blink of an eye, he was already halfway down the stairs.
Behind Gilgamesh, circles of spatial ripples appeared silently. Flowing golden light emerged from the ripples. The golden light flowed like water on the surface of Gilgamesh's body. When it solidified, it had already turned into a set of golden armor.
One step at a time. When Gilgamesh reached the ground, the armor had just completed the process of being equipped.
"Pretentious."
Irin lowered his head and gave a fair evaluation of Gilgamesh's performance in his heart.
But if he had to give this pretentious performance a score, Irin decided to give it a perfect score.
He no longer needed to leave some points in case Gilgamesh became arrogant.
His arrogance was already written on his face, as if the whole world owed him money.
Gilgamesh, who was wearing the golden armor, looked at Irin and Miriam's faces.
But his gaze only swept over them for a moment and did not stay for long.
At some point, other than Gu Tianqing, the priest, the sonic woman, and Governor Bohr had all arrived.
They also heard the horn.
In silence, they completed the gathering.
As long as one was a veteran apostle who had experienced countless trials and survived to become a transcendent apostle, they would be very familiar with the trials.
They all smelled the scent of the "main mission".
The sound of the horn was like a signal.
It meant … that they were here to cause trouble.
Gilgamesh waved his hand. Ripples flashed, and countless golden chains were pulled out of the palace.
A figure covered in blood fell to the ground in a sorry state.
His body was covered in bloody holes and lacerations.
It was Red Hair.
Then it was fine.
He thought it was someone else.
The heroic spirits from the other world lowered their heads in silence, pretending not to know him.
Red Hair's "durability" attribute was not low. To put it simply, he was resistant to beatings and grass. After he was freed from the shackles of the chains, his muscles exerted force and he bounced up from the ground.
But when he was free, his first reaction was not to settle the score with Gilgamesh. Instead, he stood to the side in silence.
Irin noticed that Red Hair's injured and blood-stained body was trembling slightly, and his fists were clenched. From his body, there was a faint "gegege" sound of teeth clenching.
It was obvious that his inner world was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
Anger affected his physical and mental health.
After the atmosphere in Uruk changed.
Irin forcefully suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He had to deal with the upcoming situation first.
Gilgamesh's height was not outstanding, but he was wearing golden armor, and his soft and fluffy hair added one centimeter to his height. Coupled with his arrogant temperament, he looked a little imposing. Everyone did not dare to breathe. When the shiny golden Gilgamesh threw Red Hair on the ground, the people of Uruk knelt down one after another.
"King!"
"King!"
"King!"
"King …"
Tens of thousands of people of Uruk knelt on the ground and shouted the king's name.
Gu Tianqing, Sonofabitch, and Governor Bohr who had knelt before were a little unwilling. But as apostles, they knew very well that dignity was worthless in front of absolute power. Moreover, he had already knelt before, so he might as well just treat it as kneeling at a grave to show his respect. It wasn't a big deal.
Red Hair was taught a lesson, and on the surface, he was much more obedient. He clenched his teeth and knelt down.
On the other hand, Miriam, Irin, Yan Feng, and Gonggong stood on the same level as the king. They were like cranes in a flock of chickens among the kneeling people.
Gilgamesh was expressionless. "I will once again tolerate your arrogance."
Oh? In front of his people, he seemed to want to save face.
Irin noticed this.
"Rise."
After that, Gilgamesh walked along the empty road and climbed up the city wall.
The people of Uruk stood up. Under the urgent sound of the horn, they quickly put on their armor, held their spears, and lined up neatly.
Irin and Miriam looked at each other and nodded. They followed behind Gilgamesh and walked up the city wall.
The sky had unknowingly darkened.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, and it was still daytime. However, the light above their heads had unknowingly dimmed by a few levels. No one thought that this was an illusion. Instead, they understood that this was a phenomenon, a sign that something was about to happen.
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Squads of well-equipped Uruk soldiers followed closely behind and lined up on the city wall. They were ready to go, and they were also waiting for something.
Only the "Heroic Spirit Group" that had just arrived did not know what was going on. They were confused, and their faces were filled with confusion.
Irin also felt that it was strange. This trial was indeed very strange.
In the beginning, the notification had clearly said that they would be entering a new set of rules, and there was also a proper plot notification. However, after officially entering as a Heroic Spirit, they did not receive any notification about the "Main Mission". Although Irin had encountered similar trials before, where specific conditions had to be met to trigger the Main Mission, there were still some clues.
At present, Irin could not get any more useful information other than feeling the atmosphere before a great battle.
Wait a minute.
The atmosphere of a great battle?
Irin suddenly frowned.
They waited on the city wall for a full ten minutes.
Amidst the silence.
Gu Tianqing had an interesting smile on her face. She secretly whispered in Irin's ear, "I just found something interesting.
"I just found out something very interesting. Do you want to know? Sigh, but I think you will soon find out that this kind of suspense is not interesting. "
"If you want to say it, say it quickly. Hurry up."
Irin stared at Gu Tianqing.
"Our Spiritual Energy Value, which is also magic power …"
Gu Tianqing was very nimble this time, but it seemed that the development of the situation was not going to go well with Gu Tianqing. Just as Gu Tianqing was about to reveal the answer, Gilgamesh, who had a cold expression, suddenly shouted, "Silence."
Gu Tianqing immediately shut her mouth.
Irin raised his head and looked at the sky. His pupils suddenly shrank.
A crack appeared in the dark and cloudless sky without any warning.
Inside the crevice was a deep and boundless darkness, but in the darkness, there was a faint blue light. Bit by bit, the light was squeezing in through the crevice.
At the same time, red eyes opened one after another in the deep, dark crevice almost at the same time. As the crack extended infinitely in the sky, more and more eyes opened in it, and they became denser and denser.
1,000?
10,000?
100,000?
1,000,000?
In the blink of an eye, the scale of the crack had become so exaggerated that it was difficult to describe with words. If it was night, then the crack that appeared out of nowhere would be like a bright galaxy. And the ice-cold red eyes that were opened inside were like tiny twinkling stars, densely packed together.
It should have been a beautiful and spectacular scene, but no one present, whether it was King Gilgamesh, the Seven Heroic Spirits, or the people of Uruk who were holding their breaths, had the time to appreciate it. That was because when the countless eyes appeared in the depths of the spatial rift, everyone suddenly had the illusion that they were being scanned back and forth by cold, slippery, sticky gazes that felt as if they were being scanned by real, solid, cold, and sticky gazes.
"Magic Cannon! Activate! "
Suddenly,
Gilgamesh's voice broke the uncomfortable silence.
"Reload the magic power. Prepare the magic cannons!"
As soon as he gave the order, the sound of gears turning and vibrating came from inside the city wall of Uruk. The ancient mechanism moved, and the stone slabs on the city wall were pushed open by the mechanism. Unique long-barreled giant cannons appeared on the city wall.
Incomprehensible patterns were engraved on the bodies of the cannons. Gilgamesh didn't need to give any further orders. The palace magicians in charge of each magic cannon began to cover the body of the cannon with their palms and injected the corresponding magic power into the magic cannon.
What the f * ck???
The people of Uruk weren't surprised, but the Seven Heroic Spirits from 5,000 years in the future were shocked when they saw the countless magic cannons on the city wall.
Wait a minute.
Is this … the prehistoric civilization from 5,000 years ago?
This level of technology doesn't seem to match the actual history!
Which expert said that the prehistoric natives from thousands of years ago were still living a primitive life without any clothes?!
Come out!
I'll beat you to death!
"Fire!"
Dazzling light beams shot out from the magic cannons and blasted toward the huge crack in the sky.
Boom!
The earth trembled, and the city wall shook. The sound of tens of thousands of magic cannons firing at the same time made the seven members of the heroic spirit group feel like they were watching the fireworks of the century at a very close distance. Thousands of light beams shot into the sky and converged into a few more concentrated and condensed light beams that went into the crack.
Inside the crack, a silent burst of light exploded. The expected explosion didn't happen. However, in the crack, the red light emitted from the eyes that were looking at the land with naked eyes was extinguished by this wave of magic cannons.
At this point, if the seven members of the heroic spirit group still didn't understand what was going on, they would be no different from idiots.
This was a war!
Although they couldn't be sure if this ridiculous war actually existed in the real history, they were certain that it was real. But what was certain was that after they entered the door, they had personally experienced the war in Uruk, the ancient civilization, as heroic spirits!
On one side of the war were the humans of Uruk and Gilgamesh. On the other side of the war were the monsters that appeared from the crack and came from an unknown place!
On the city wall.
Yan Feng crossed his arms. He didn't know if it was excitement, fear, or other strong emotions that surged in his heart. He couldn't stop trembling. He almost lost his balance and fell off the city wall. His lips were pale, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible! This is … Kanzaki! The Kanzaki that only exists in legends and fantasies. Even its authenticity can't be verified! No wonder the magic power in the air is so abundant that it's unimaginable. This is the Kanzaki! It's the 'Era of the Gods', a time when the gods appeared in the ancient records! "
"We … How can we descend to this place as heroic spirits! This is impossible! "
"Nothing is impossible," Irin said calmly. When he saw Xiaoxi's goddess statue, he already had a bad feeling. His tone was so calm that it didn't sound like a person at all. He said, "Because we are already here."
After a wave of magic cannons fired, there seemed to be a cooldown period. It took some time to reload the magic cannons.
From the cracks in the distant sky, countless densely packed dots fell on the distant horizon like a torrential downpour.
The bottom of the shell trembled again. The messy footsteps sounded as if they were hammering the fragile ground. Countless black dots landed on the ground like a black tide, approaching the city of Uruk at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Irin narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
As the black tide approached, he gradually saw that those black dots … were not dots at all!
They were clearly monsters with blades all over their bodies. They were of different shapes and looked like primitive wild beasts. They ran wildly on the ground on all fours. Behind the black beast tide, rolling sand was lifted into the air.
It was a tide of beasts!
An innumerable tide of beasts!
A tide of beasts attacking Uruk from all directions!
Every monster was of different sizes. The bigger ones were only the size of canines, while the bigger ones were comparable to the extinct giant elephants in the real world. They had long fangs that were dripping with stinky mucus.
Every monster in the tide seemed to be from a different race.
However, as the horde of beasts approached, Yi Lin and the others quickly noticed that every beast had a red eyeball on its forehead, body, and back. They were all different places. The eyeball was like a sarcoma that was stuck on the monster's body.
That was the only thing they had in common.
"Hehe, bring me some insignificant joy, you bastards!"
Facing the sudden attack of the tide of beasts, the arrogant Gilgamesh in his golden armor smiled even wider. He looked more and more arrogant. Hearing Gilgamesh's laughter, even the usually calm Irin couldn't help but have the urge to beat him up.
Gilgamesh's golden eyes lit up. He shook his golden armor and waved his hand forward. He laughed loudly.
"Be happy! Tremble! Be happy! Roar! For me, for Uruk, listen to the last cry of mankind. Look at the tainted sky and witness the ugly appearance of the gods! For this, sacrifice your lowly lives! Weak servants! "
"Saber, Lancer, Rider, Berserker!"
The arrogant King Gilgamesh mercilessly started to call out the names according to their ranks.
Among the seven heroic spirits, the four who were called out had a slight change in expression.
"Let's go!"
