King from scratch

Embers thought it was a great time to go out!

Undead creatures are frowned upon in most worlds, but look what he encountered this time out?

Enthusiastic chubby guys!

Hmm... Although their enthusiasm is a bit distressing, Embers has never enjoyed the distress brought about by this kind of over-popularity, which really makes the undead swell.

The world has changed again, but Embers is used to it. After all, for undead creatures, the world always changes very quickly.

But this change, even for Embers who has lived a long time, is somewhat novel.

Look at these chubby guys, how well they've combined another world with this one, he must say, it's amazing.

Embers is looking forward to this trip, especially after meeting the mysterious duo.

Behold what he saw, great savior!

The vitality of the world is shared with the other party, and the surging golden light envelopes the other party. He can even smell the remaining will of the gods and is closely connected with the other party.

There is nothing that can prove the identity of the other party more than these.

Of course, he was also curious about that silent, but lifeless existence.

That must be a new kind of intelligent creature, sooner or later he will know what this guy is!He swears!

Think about it, his trip not only received an unprecedented warm welcome, but also met the savior of this world and the pilot of another world!

Could there be a better trip than this?

[Steel Transformation] Just by looking at the name of this skill, one can think of the ultimate skill of the great scientist profession [Etherization], and it is precisely because of this that He Xingwen chose this skill.

It lived up to his expectations, just like the scene that etherization once staged, ether wanders in steel, or to be precise, it wanders in all mechanical creations.

Then, they "live" over.

Of course, that was not coming alive in the true sense, but that those broken mechanical creations showed a reaction like a living thing in the transmission of information from the ether.

At first, the tightly packed "wall" began to shake, then the abandoned building they were in began to shake, and finally, the entire ruins began to shake.

The ground trembled, and large piles of ruins fell one after another. The vibration of one piece of ruins triggered a chain reaction—the aftershocks spread in the ruins.

In the lively player bazaar, all the players who were busy, trading, eating, drinking, and having fun stopped and cast their gazes at the ruins that were close at hand.

In a place farther away from the ruins, the small black dots that looked like hills collapsed one after another, and the black dots were connected into an undulating line, rushing towards them like a torrent of huge waves, Call me head on.

The ground vibration gradually escalated. The players took a deep breath and finally reacted.

"earthquake!"

The emergency evacuation education from another world allows players to reflexively greet other people indoors in the open space.

Ai Zhijin reacted faster than them.

You must know that this place was originally a ruin, and no matter what the cause of the earthquake, it would cause a second collapse of the ruins, and this would turn into a fatal opportunity for explorers who went deep into the ruins.

The emergency rescue team flew out of Aizhijin's temporary store and went to the densely populated area to evacuate and rescue people who might be affected by the disaster.

Fortunately, among those explorers who dared to go deep into the ruins, players accounted for the vast majority.

Compared with other races, in this kind of disaster, the safety of the undead obviously does not need to worry about.

Therefore, Ai Zhijin can urgently rescue explorers of other races under the current situation.

What's more, in this world, except for players, most of the explorers who dare to go deep into the ruins can open black holes with their bare hands, so although the situation looks dangerous, there are really not many people affected by the disaster who will really fall into danger.

No matter what, the ground was still a mess.

Most of the area below the ruins was also in chaos, and the aftershocks were also unexpected disasters for explorers who went deep into the ruins.

But at the source of the disaster, there was no confusion at the scene.

Everything is in order, and the "wall" formed by mechanical wreckage and building materials is separated from the tight entanglement in a way that violates common sense, revealing the space behind the "wall"—the road leading to somewhere.

This is not the end, in fact, the ruins are still in slow motion.

Just like putting an upside-down building upright, this building that has been shattered and solidified into an indistinguishable shape by the huge impact is rotating at a slow speed.

Because of its rotation, Embers in this building kept falling, running around with bones all over the floor.

After falling from above to the ground and then from left to right, completely losing his sense of direction, Embers changed from a skeleton to a broken skeleton, with bones running all over the ground, and the skull rolling up and down like a ball.

He Xingwen and the others are in a different situation.

The golden light once again demonstrated its protection without dead angles, firmly fixing He Xingwen on the ground, even though the building was turned 220 seven degrees, it was not affected in any way.

But He Tong gave up his humanoid appearance and turned into a ball of data, which was wrapped around He Xingwen's body stickily, without being affected by the rotation of the building at all.

After the building finished turning, the scattered bones crackled and fell into the passage behind the "wall".

No way, after who made it turn around, the hole where He Xingwen and the others came in turned into the roof, and the "wall" that was originally tightly blocked turned into the ground, so that the skeleton on the ceiling fell directly from above. into a hole in the ground.

Embers didn't care about the trivial matter that his bones fell into the pit. The skull floated in the air, and he said to He Xingwen who was standing on the ceiling, "That guy turned into a strange thing."

The appearance of the data wrapped around He Xingwen's body can indeed be called strange, but Embers' own image is not much better...

Only He Xingwen, who was standing on the ceiling, barely maintained his normal painting style.

Embers didn't pay attention to He Tong's new image for too long, he felt his bones: "There seems to be a road below, wow, what did you do just now? Make such a big commotion? Directly It’s unimpeded, which is great!”

The skull's head flew up and down beside He Xingwen, and He Xingwen walked along the wall to the ground, and he could still hear the other party's words pouring into his ears continuously.

"But is it sometimes boring? I know this feeling too well. After being invincible, it's really boring to do nothing. It's so boring that you can only sleep through the long days..." Embers sighed suddenly Tone: "So, immortality may not be a good thing, and of course invincibility is not a good thing. Wait a minute, what did I want to say just now?"

He Xingwen ignored him, and entered the next floor along the hole on the ground.

In the area on the next floor, the corridors extending in all directions are severely damaged, and everything is frozen at a certain broken moment. It is basically wishful thinking to find anything from here.

Even after the [Steel Transformation] skill is used, the building can barely make the building look like a building should, and there is no way to restore the shattered machinery.

He Xingwen walked around this floor along the corridor. This should be a special-purpose building in the Safa Federation. He Xingwen saw a lot of scientific instruments used for experiments in the broken remains. Of course, now All turned into twisted damage.

"This way, this way, there is a hole to go down here." Embers, who was floating aside, greeted He Xingwen and walked in a certain direction.

A huge, non-artificial hole appeared in front of He Xingwen, and Embers' bones were lining up and jumping down one by one.

Embers showed off to him: "Bones are very useful for exploring the way, and it doesn't matter if they are broken, and new ones can be squeezed out easily."

He Xingwen and the others entered the next area.

There are more experimental equipment surviving in this area.

Embers was very interested in tossing these strange instruments: "After I left the Canyon of the Dead, I heard a lot about the Salfa Federation. It is said that their science is very good. I really can't understand the meaning of 'science'. How powerful can it be, and what is ether?"

The definition of ether was given by Li Wang in the fifth era.

But it is estimated that Embers was still sleeping at that time, and Embers, who was absent from the entire time period when the great scientist appeared, had doubts about the definition of the word "ether".

The fragile instrument was smashed into pieces by Enbosi, who was taken aback and floated back to He Xingwen in an instant, trying to hide it: "This thing is so fragile, it broke after I bumped it a few times..."

He Xingwen ignored him and continued walking towards the next level.

There are more and more scientific instruments in the area on the next floor, and it seems that the lower you go, the less damage you will suffer around.

Of course, the destroyed instruments still account for the majority, and the small number of instruments that can still function have a very strange appearance to the earthlings.

They have no wire connections, and the cylindrical shell is covered with complex ether patterns, and there are special metal accessories under the shell-very magical scientific instruments.

He Xingwen, who lacked relevant scientific knowledge, did not understand how to use the hardware composed of complicated metal parts.

Although the "science" of the Salfa Federation is also called "science", it is completely different from the science on earth. It is the "science" of the magical world.

For players, great scientists are no different from mages, they are all obscure knowledge, difficult to understand textbooks, and various magical theories about ether.

After Embers easily broke a scientific instrument, he lost interest in fiddling with them and turned to hurry on his way with great interest.

"There's something good down here!" He said with great certainty, "I saw it."

He Xingwen became interested in what he saw: "What good thing?"

Embers looked back at the humanoid creature surrounded by data and golden light—seriously, even for the undead, the appearance of this savior was too weird.

"A non-living body." Embers withdrew his gaze and continued to float forward: "It is very conspicuous and very large."

He Xingwen had doubts about the other party's definition of "good things": "Is this a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing," Embers said in a firm tone, "It's a huge non-living body! It's the best control medium for undead creatures! Moreover, it has no life in the first place, so you can enjoy it directly, plus It's really huge..."

Embers kept shaking his head, unable to draw out the size of the thing he saw because he had no hands. It is best to describe it in words: "It's bigger than a dragon, no, it's bigger than this Thrall!" The French Federation is smaller."

He Xingwen paused, feeling that they had different definitions of the word "super large".

"Smaller than the Salfa Federation, bigger than the giant dragon?" He Xingwen glanced at the size of the ruins, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like it could hold a giant dragon: "In it?"

"That's right," Embers jumped off the last floor of the building. His bones had already been scattered all over the ground, and he went to help him find the way. here."

He Xingwen hesitated for a while, considering that he also opened "Wu Shuang", so he followed suit.

As a result, as soon as his feet landed, he heard a little surprise in Embers' tone: "Hey, my bones have been burned."

He Xingwen cast his gaze towards the front of this area together with him.

The area where they jumped was not a corridor, but an extremely huge room.

The room was dark and quiet, with faint operating lights on some instruments, dimly illuminating the darkness.

In the darkness, there is still the familiar intricate entanglement of steel. The devastating disaster destroyed the entire Federation, and this place is no exception.

Most of the instruments were destroyed by the huge impact, twisted into a mess, and stuffed in every corner of the room. To be honest, with this tragic situation, it is really hard to believe that there are still large-scale scientific creations that can function perfectly here.

Especially the kind of technological products that require countless instruments to start, probably have been completely destroyed in such a devastating impact, right?

That being the case, what is that huge non-living body that Embers mentioned?

He Xingwen turned his head and looked at En Boss. He was rubbing bones with his hands—literally, he first used bones to form his hands, and then rubbed them out of thin air one by one to create shiny white bones.

This is not a small project. After all, there are more than 200 bones in a human body. Even if the head is removed, there are still more than 100 bones.

He Xingwen looked around, the dark and broken ruins looked harmless: "Where did your bones get burned?"

Embers kept his hands down, and the white bones were rubbed out of his hands bit by bit out of thin air, and he gestured his head in a certain direction: "There."

He Xingwen looked in the direction he pointed.

That was the central area of ​​the room, broken instruments were entangled with steel, no difference from the surrounding environment.

He Xingwen approached it a few steps, stopped at the periphery, carefully watched the ruins ahead, and confirmed with Embers: "Where is that huge inanimate body you saw?"

Embers still gestured in that direction: "It's also there."

He Xingwen: "Then we can draw conclusions now? The so-called inanimate body larger than the dragon is the product of some kind of scientific instrument activation?"

Embers paused, tilted his head, showing a dazed expression.

He really lacks relevant knowledge in this area.

He Xingwen didn't expect him to be able to answer this question, he continued: "In other words, there is at least one large-scale scientific research product belonging to the Salfa Federation that can operate normally?"

The data wrapped around He Xingwen's body slowly flowed from his body to the ground beside him, forming a human form again.

Embers watched this scene with great interest.

He Tong cast his gaze towards the ruins in front of him and gave the answer: "The outer area of ​​the Palace of Knowledge has been preserved here."

He Xingwen recalled: "The primary part of the Sarfa Federation scientific system?"

The Salfa Federation once opened this part to players, and it was based on its existence that the players activated the encyclopedia's zero-level skill [Scientific Common Sense]. Of course, after the Salfa Federation became ruins, this skill became failed.

It was actually preserved?In this state of near-destruction of the entire Federation?

He Tong knew what He Xingwen was wondering about, and he explained: "In fact, it was only because it was once open to players that it could be preserved in this situation."

"In order to open this part of the Palace of Knowledge to players, the great scientists moved it from the cockpit of Noah's Ark to the outer area of ​​Noah's Ark. The Palace of Knowledge itself has been completely damaged. The etheric information preserved in the final medium by the etheric matrix of the kingdom."

"Ether Matrix of the Kingdom?" He Xingwen searched for the relevant information corresponding to this term in his memory.

In order to resist the large-scale invading Zerg, He Xingwen built a city wall separating the kingdom's sea area from the South China Sea area, as well as the ether matrix that was originally intended to isolate space teleportation.

In the end, the city wall became a commercial street, and the ether matrix became a half-finished product.

The base station originally planned to be built along the periphery of the entire continental framework, because of the rejection of other forces, only built an ether matrix in the area bordering the kingdom and the South China Sea.

Until the destruction of the Salfa Federation, the kingdom did not complete the construction of the continent-wide ether matrix for the purpose of isolating space transmission.

But it's not without progress. At least a bunch of base stations are located at the junction of the kingdom and the South China Sea and are in operation.

After the Safa Federation was destroyed, these ether matrices became the only remaining ether information storage in this world.

He Xingwen was thoughtful: "The last medium...in other words, it can still be activated?"

"Yes, but I don't recommend activating it in this environment."

He Xingwen: "So we have to take out the final medium that stores it from here?"

He Tong answered this question with actions.

There was a slight movement in the ruins not far away, and the movement quickly became louder.

The protective equipment that is still running is automatically activated when an abnormality is encountered.

The ether was fluctuating, and the flames were raging, and a sea of ​​flames was built among He Xingwen and the others and the pile of ruins—that was not a real flame, but the embodiment of the ether energy body.

No matter how arrogant a scientist is, he will not design a pile of flames in the laboratory. It may prevent theft, but it is more likely to directly burn down the entire laboratory.

"It's that thing that burned my bones." Embers didn't understand the long conversation between He Tong and He Xingwen just now, but after seeing the firewall, he immediately became excited and testified against the culprit: "It It jumped out suddenly, and it burned very fast, and the bones were burned away in one go."

But the firewall couldn't stop He Tong's actions.

For He Tong, fetching things from a distance is his old profession.

He removed the ether crystal from the defunct scientific machine and transmitted the data. The crystal disappeared out of thin air after the sea of ​​fire, and slowly reappeared in He Tong's hands.

A square crystal appeared in He Tong's hand, crystal clear, unlike any other existence He Xingwen had ever seen, it looked like a perfect creation - an obvious man-made product.

"What the hell?" Embers moved his head closer, staring up and down at the crystal, his tone became serious: "A real substance composed of divine power?"

"Is this a product that humans can make?" Embers tilted his head: "Impossible!"

He Tong handed it to He Xingwen.

He Xingwen subconsciously released the lighting technique and looked at it closely.

The color of the crystal flows slowly, and the inside of the crystal seems to be liquid. Under the light, you can see the dense lines engraved inside through the flowing liquid. The lines are extremely complicated. From the perspective of He Xingwen (a layman), it is purely dense. line.

He Xingwen pondered for a moment, substituting the thinking of the earthlings, and said uncertainly: "Is this the chip of the different world version?"

He Tong thought for a moment: "If you regard ether as a network, there is nothing wrong with describing it that way."

Embers didn't understand what they were saying, and his world view was shattered by this thing that shouldn't appear in the hands of humans: "How long have I only slept, have humans already analyzed the gods?"

He Xingwen handed the ether crystal back to He Tong, and said casually: "In fact, thousands of years ago, human beings have proved that divine power, magic, and force all belong to the same substance, and this substance is the source of all energy. .”

The skull looked at a loss: "Ether? Ten thousand dharmas return to one?"

The word said by the other party is definitely not the same as the law, but the translation between different civilizations has turned it into a closer meaning of the word in He Xingwen's civilization.

The opponent's dazedness only lasted for a very short time, Youlan's soul fire suddenly jumped up, and in a very short period of time, it turned from blue to red, and then to pure white, and the color of the soul fire changed rapidly.

He was too lazy to rub the bones with his hands, and with a thought, he directly completed the remaining skeletons.

The color of the soul fire changed back and forth like a rainbow, and then changed back to its original color.

A faint blue light flickered in his head, and he muttered, "I almost broke through the limit, it scared me to death."

He Tong did not pay attention to the re-suppressed energy fluctuations, but mentioned another thing: "Have you realized that when you use player skills here, the skills show an unusually powerful response?"

He Xingwen was taken aback for a moment, recalling the huge response from the two skills [Catalysis] and [Steel Transformation]. It was indeed a bit exaggerated that the vines covered the ruins. After all, the last time He Xingwen used this skill in the dungeon, it was only Can only do what a tiny vine can do.

"What caused this abnormality?"

"Another overlapping dimension with extremely high ether concentration," He Tong said truthfully: "Normal intelligent creatures cannot perceive their existence, but you are different.

The player skills you use are affected by the extremely high concentration of ether, showing a far more powerful response than normal. "

Embers put together his shattered world view: "What is overlapping? Dimensions? What is that? What are you talking about? What is there?"

"There are 'unobservables' in the world, they are located in the overlapping world with us," He Tong simply explained: "It's just that they were born there, so they have never been noticed."

But the Salfa Federation was not born in another dimension after all, and the behavior of forcibly crossing dimensions made them leave imperceptible clues here-of course, the so-called clues were aimed at He Xingwen.

For other aborigines, there are no traces left here.

He Xingwen: "Speaking of which, I'm curious about their current situation..."

Although in the eyes of others, the Salfa Federation disappeared out of thin air, but He Xingwen knew where they went.

The great scientists have entered another dimension.

When an intelligent creature is strong enough, he also has the right to satisfy his curiosity and desire to explore.

Now that another landscape is within reach, why stop there?

He Xingwen said, "I want to take a look."
