Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The ground was shaking slightly, and a large number of black running bulls were moving slowly. In front of them was a fortress built in a huge remaining human building, a fortress belonging to the cursed.

A large number of heterochromatic luminous crystals are directly embedded in some buildings as connectors, and the entire fortress is built with some huge biological skeletons as supports.

A lot of Steka can be seen inside. Penillo sat quietly behind Shakira. There was always a sadness in her eyes. Shakira said a lot of things along the way, but Penillo But not a word was heard.

"Hey, Shakira, you're back. The boss asked you to come over."

Shakira jumped off the back of the cow lightly, then stretched her limbs. Then she turned around and looked at Penillo, who wanted to get off the back of the cow, which was more than 2 meters high, but she didn't know how to get down. There seems to be some fear.

Shakira smiled and jumped on the back of the cow, hugged Penillo and brought her down directly. Penillo looked a little embarrassed and said thank you.

"You are still the same as when you were a child, always so timid."

Penillo didn't say anything, but was amazed that such a huge fortress city could exist in such a place. It seemed that the number of Stekas was very large. These black-eyed Stekas looked no different from them. But many of the Stekas guarding the door still looked at Penillo, the Steka with three-colored eyes, in confusion.

"Shakira, are you going just to bring this lady back?"

"To be precise, she is my brother's wife. Didn't I tell you before?"

Shakira smiled. At this time, many people asked about Shakira's younger brother. Shakira just made an excuse and said that the boy would not come over for the time being. Penelope standing behind Shakira looked a little unnatural. She lowered her head, unable to suppress the sadness in her heart. With a flash of white light, a crystal teardrop slipped out, and Shakira immediately caught it with quick eyes and hands.

"Control your emotions, little girl. This thing is very precious to us."

Penillo still lowered her head. At this time, Penillo put the crystallized teardrop on Penillo's mouth.

"Eat it."

Penillo still didn't make any move, and the herd of running bulls was already led towards the right side of the fortress. Shakira's eyes were a little scary. She forcibly opened Penillo's mouth and let go of her tears. Go in.

Penillo coughed and gasped, and Stella Orsha, a woman behind her, supported Penillo.

"Boss, you are too rough. This taste is very difficult for us Steka to accept."

Shakira waved her hands, and then her expression turned serious.

"If the boss wants to see me, there must be nothing good going on. I'm going to get beaten again."

Penillo looked at Shakira in confusion, and Orsha next to her smiled helplessly.

"Let's go, I'll show you something!"

Shakira said and started walking. Orsha followed with Penillo. As soon as Penillo entered, she saw two towering buildings on both sides that looked like pillars. These are buildings from the past of mankind. The first floor is nearly five meters long, and many damaged areas have been repaired with hard biological bones and special crystal stones. There are many stakas selling some things along the street.

On the streets on both sides, there would be some children playing and quarreling from time to time, and it was only then that Panillo discovered that among them there were Stakas with other eye colors, not just Stakas with black eyes.

At first, Penelope thought that a three-color Steka like herself might look a little weird here, but now she gave up such thoughts.

Shakira met many people along the way, and they all greeted her cordially. It seemed that she was very welcome here.

The fortress looked quite huge from the outside, but after walking for a while, Penillo discovered that there was a large area of ​​abandoned human city that had not been transformed, and most of the Steka were gathered here.

"There are nearly 100,000 people in this fortress."

Shakira spoke, and Penillo nodded. A huge damaged circular square appeared in front of her eyes. Penillo knew that this was a place called a football field in the past. There were many bone spikes on the outside of the football field. There were many Stekas patrolling with weapons around. As soon as Shakira passed by, several Stekas patrolling at the entrance of the football field approached.

"I'm back, Shakira. I haven't seen you for three months."

In front of him is a burly and strong Steka who is more than 2 meters tall. He is wearing a bone armor made of animal bones, with some metals and crystals as connectors. His figure is very huge, and his thick arms are stretched out. Going over, Shakira grabbed it.

"Where's your brother?"

"I don't plan to bring him here for the time being. I gained a lot from my trip this time. I have something very important to report to the boss. Kutri, please summon the other 10 generals. This matter is very important!"

Shakira said, the burly Steka in front of her nodded. After the two patted each other's arms, Shakira started walking with Penillo and Orsha behind her.

"Orsha, it feels like you have lost a lot of weight. If you are free tonight."

"No time!"

Orsha said indifferently, and Penillo glanced at Kutri, who was scratching the back of his head with one hand.

"Kutli, if you really like Orsha, you'd better put more effort into it. Not every woman can accept your directness."

"Head! Please don't joke."

Shakira smiled and ran up, and some smiles returned to Penillo's face. When she came here, she felt very relaxed, an inexplicable sense of relaxation. There were not so many rules here as in Penillo's village. They Female Steka are not very free to move around in the village, especially unmarried female Steka, who are not allowed to appear on the streets often.

Everything has been very strict since she was a child. She has to worship the God of Chaos every day and is not allowed to do any work. Especially those women who have decided to get married soon can only spend their whole day at home. I didn't like this kind of strict discipline very much. At that time, Nanzi would often sneak over to chat with him late at night, and even take him out secretly. Although after being discovered later, Nanzi was severely punished, but he Never complained.

At the thought of this, Penillo's mood became worse. Shakira turned around and pressed her hands on Penillo's cheeks.

"What?"

"Don't think about Nantz anymore. If you are willing to believe me, then strengthen your confidence. He is still alive, I can feel it."

Penillo hummed.

They had already passed through a corridor in front of them and soon entered the infield. There were round huts built with some bones and stones around. Many Stakas were discussing something nearby. The empty mud in front of them There were Steccas training everywhere on the ground, and Penillo was a little surprised.

"Come on Shakira, I want you to go find him as soon as possible when you come back."

Shakira smiled and nodded, and then she walked down quickly. Penillo was a little embarrassed. She didn't know if she could follow. Orsha next to her said with a smile.

"It's okay, the boss is very easy-going, and you may be a little surprised."

Penillo hummed, and the two of them quickly followed. Soon the three of them came to the empty field in the middle. A bunch of Steka were training. They were competing with each other with spears. Orr Sha introduced Penillo.

Actual combat training is a must here every day. All Stekas who have no physical problems need to come here regularly to receive combat training every day. There is no distinction between people here, from children to adults, they are all warriors.

Penillo was a little surprised. The situation here was completely different from that in the village. Under the leadership of Orsha, Penillo saw Orsha standing in front of a male Steka who was about the same size as her. At this time, Panillo Nile was a little surprised, because the kind-looking male Steka in front of her had red eyes, not black.

Penillo was a little surprised when she saw Shakira chatting happily with this handsome male Steka.

"It's surprising. The boss is not the cursed one they say. He used to be the noble Steka with six-colored eyes."

"What?"

Penillo looked at the man in front of her in shock. Although she had heard something about Six Color Steka, it was just a legend. In the legend, the emperor of the empire was also Six Color Steka, and the highest-ranking emperor The elders are also just five-color Steka.

"Really?"

Penillo didn't quite believe it, when a warm and magnetic voice came.

"This lady must be your brother's wife, Shakira."

The man in front of her walked over, Penillo lowered her head shyly, and Shakira said with a smile.

"It's beautiful."

The male Steka nodded.

"Indeed, she is a beauty."

"Are you really Six Colors Steka?"

Penillo glanced at her again with some fear. This female Steka's facial features were very handsome and charming.

"Of course ma'am!"

As soon as the words fell, Penillo was stunned for a moment. The two eyes of the male Steka in front of her shone slightly, and the eyes of six colors of red, purple, blue, yellow, gold and black appeared in front of her. In front of Penillo's eyes, there was a sizzling sound in the air. Penillo felt a heat flow, and immediately the Steka in front of her changed back to her monochromatic red eyes.

What she saw in front of her had broken Penillo's common sense. She had seen Steka with four-color eyes at most, and the commanders of the empire's three major legions all had four-color eyes.

"The reason why the empire has been unable to take action against us is precisely because we are protected by the boss, and they dare not take action rashly."

Shakira explained, and the male Steka in front of her turned around with a smile and said.

"Almost, Shakira, I have to see if you have exercised well in the past three months!"

Shakira pouted.

"Boss, it's better to talk about the important things first."

Olsha pulled Penillo, who was still in shock, to stand a little further away.

"The boss is very powerful. A few years ago, three great elders led an army to besiege us. He single-handedly repelled the army, otherwise we would have been wiped out."

Orsha smiled helplessly as he spoke, with a hint of sadness in his smile.

"My friends and lover died in that war that almost destroyed us."

"Orsha!"

As Penillo said, the two people in the distance had already reached the middle place, and the Stekas who were still training all around also gathered around. In a short time, thousands of Stekas came Standing on the periphery.

Penillo looked at it carefully. Power is an extremely important part for Steka. All Steka can use their own thoughts to manifest this power. It can be a solid shield or a It is a sharp blade, and it can also be a well-fitting armor, but using this power requires consuming Steka's body energy, and the more colored Steka's eyes are, the more powerful the energy in his body is.

Penillo is also a Steka with three-color eyes, so she knows very well that since she was very young, she has been stronger than other Stekas in terms of strength and endurance, but she is like a precious object, being The people in the village treasured it and did not allow themselves to learn fighting skills or do some important work.

Basically, it is difficult for Steka with single-color eyes to manifest something. Only Steka with two-color eyes has such ability, let alone those with black eyes who are born with lower energy. In my memory, The Shakira I saw when I was a child was weak and incompetent, but the Shakira in front of me was obviously very powerful. The fact that she could block the commander and elite lieutenants of the Sky Legion alone was enough to explain everything.

"How on earth did you do that?"

Orsha smiled, pointed at her black eyes and looked at Penillo seriously.

"Our eyes will turn black, not because we are cursed, but because the energy is blocked for a long time during the transformation process in the body and is difficult to transform, and finally accumulates. As a result, our bodies are inherently poorer and weaker than others. In fact, we are only It's just that we are sick, and as the eyes are the symbol of Steka, once we become sick, it is difficult to change back to eyes of other colors. But as long as we have undergone surgery, we can also use the energy in the body like normal Steka. , come and transform into matter, watch carefully, the battle is about to begin!"

Penillo nodded. The moment he looked over, Shakira had already moved forward. With a buzzing sound, Shakira's body dragged the afterimage to the male ster in an instant. In front of Ka, she held two pitch-black serrated daggers in her hands, crossing them from top to bottom.

"The accuracy is good, but you are a little too anxious. Your attack method is too single. I have said this many times. Why do you always turn a deaf ear to my words!"

The moment Naxing Steka spoke, Penillo was stunned, because he was completely different from the gentle appearance before, with a bit of vindictiveness in his voice, and it sounded very fierce.

Shakira, who had not yet landed, had been kicked by the Steka's suddenly raised foot and slid backwards for a distance.

"If it had been a fight to the death, you would have died."

"Boss, you are too strong!"

Shakira smiled and rushed forward as soon as she finished speaking. Like a fish rising out of the water, she instantly came to the front of the male Steka. The afterimage changed and Shakira spun in mid-air. As he stood, the dagger in his hand accurately cut Steka in front of him.

Penillo exclaimed. Faced with such rapid continuous attacks, the female Steka did not move even half a step. She just kept shaking her light body, dodging Shakira's continuous attacks again and again. .

Suddenly, the wrists of Shakira's hands were grabbed by the Steka, and she suddenly let go of the black dagger in her hands. As the crystal particles dissipated, these particles instantly returned to Shakira's hands.

Shakira's ten fingers turned into claws, and her fingertips began to grow.

"Still too young Shakira."

The male Steka suddenly exerted force, and before the weapon on Shakira's fingertips materialized, she was thrown backwards.

After landing on the ground, Shakira half-crouched and glided a certain distance. The moment she stood up, she had already charged out. With the afterimages flashing in rapid succession, Shakira avoided the opponent's elbow attack and went around to the opponent's left side. The dagger in his right hand appeared again and slashed towards the opponent's ribs.

Suddenly everyone screamed, and Penillo even screamed. Shakira's sliding blade was directly pinched by the male Steka with two fingers.

"Boss, you've gone too far. Please let me paddle for a while."

At this time, the male Steka finally jumped back, and with a violent rumbling sound, the muddy ground under Shakira's feet sunk into a dent, and the mud splashed, and she immediately put away the black blade.

"Can I stop fighting?"

"What should I say to you? You must be hurt!"

Shakira smiled and nodded.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the boss."

"You have several points that need to be improved, including the timing of using power and the direction of attack when moving. You care too much about other people's next moves. This is of no benefit to attacks and will only make your movements slower than others. It seems that it’s really difficult for you to take the opponent’s commander as your opponent.”

Shakira smiled awkwardly, and many people cheered.

"Tlaloc!"

Penillo asked with some surprise.

"Is this the name of the boss here?"

Orsha nodded.

"The boss came from inside the Wall of the Dead."

Penillo looked at Orsha in shock.

"What's in there?"

Orsha shook his head.

"The boss never wanted to tell us what was there. He just told us that when the time comes, he will tell us everything about this world and the secrets in the so-called realm of God."

Penillo looked at Tlaloc surrounded by people with some surprise. He was always very friendly to the people around him and had a strange charm.

Shakira sighed helplessly, and then she started shouting.

"You all go away, I want to talk to the boss about something."

The people around gradually dispersed, and Orsha also took Penillo to his residence. At this time, Penillo would look back at Tralock from time to time, and Orsha looked at her solemnly.

"Boss, I have already talked with Sylvie. It seems that woman is also very dissatisfied with everything in the empire now. She is very likely to take action. After all, she is really strong. I am not sure that I can use her full power to kill her. And retreat."

One hand pressed on the left side of Shakira's abdomen.

"The energy channel here has been torn and needs quiet cultivation. If it weren't for this test, you guys would definitely not say anything. This will sometimes be fatal for us Steka, at least for a month. Don’t use energy inside, wait until the energy channel heals.”

Shakira hummed, she was very unhappy, and she had already used her strongest strength to barely break Sylvie's armor. However, the other party also recognized her, and they were able to talk peacefully.

Then Shakira spoke in detail about the negotiation process with Sylvie, while Tlaloc listened carefully.

"There are a few questions, including the current combat effectiveness of the Sky Legion. After all, the great elders of the empire are not vegetarians in their combat troops."

Shakira hummed.

"Boss, can I ask you a question?"

Shakira looked at Tlaloc seriously and he laughed.

"Why are you so obsessed with overthrowing the empire? With your strength, you can get extremely favorable treatment in the empire. I really don't understand."

Tlaloc shook his head.

"One day you will know. To be specific, overthrowing the empire is only my first step, and the second step is to establish an empire belonging to Steka."

"What exactly is in that undead power?"

Tlaloc held up a finger and shook it.

"This is the second question. Okay, the generals are here. We have to hold a specific meeting. With our current strength, it is unrealistic to attack the empire. Even if we add the Sky Legion, it will be difficult to compete with the empire. Yes, although there are some incompetent people at the bottom of the imperial army, there are many powerful Stakas under the command of the great elders, not to mention the emperor of the empire."

Shakira became more and more confused. She had always been confused before, because Tlaloc seemed to know all the secrets, but he would only vaguely mention these things many times.

"I have heard a lot of rumors that the emperor of the empire, Ai Xi, has long been dead, and his power has long been controlled by the great elders."

"This is just a rumor. Emperor Ashe is not dead, he just doesn't appear in public anymore. He will never simply die, because to Steka, he is like a god. There is a Steka with seven-colored eyes, I have seen him once."

Shakira looked at Tlaloc in shock.

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true, Shakira. There are more secrets in this world that you and I don't know. We are not all living beings."

Tralock laughed loudly as he spoke, looking a little crazy, and then raised his hands.

"The world is waiting for our answers. One day, everything that is still alive will have to hand over its answers to this misty world! This day will come soon, and we must do something good. Get ready and wait for the day when dawn falls from the sky!"
