The Star Knight

The sixth floor, starting from here is the Ark area, which collected almost all species on the planet at the end of the dark age. They have been selected by nature for thousands of years, and the weak are preyed on by the strong. Two numbers are engraved on the alloy door :17.

"District [-]." Opal said, "I think the beliefs of Horius and the teacher should be different. The saber-toothed tiger represents fighting and force, while the dragon ray represents protection and stability..."

Raymond pressed the badge given by Cororin on the door, and opened the most mysterious private plot in King's Wharf.

"I don't think he will be like the mercenaries." Raymond said: "He just fights for the war. I remember his first victory and reached a peace negotiation with the replicants."

Opal nodded. Is fighting for the sake of war also a belief?Perhaps, the madness of bloody battles is like addictive drugs. The process of killing, destroying and fighting seems to allow people to experience a kind of regeneration of life.

But Horius' belief shouldn't be fighting for the sake of fighting, otherwise he wouldn't be able to last so long.

Opal said: "I have also seen in ancient history that Horius should hope that everyone can coexist, otherwise he would not have peace talks with Kalb. Later, for a long time, replicants and humans were in this universe. Survive in the midst of it all, and later, I don’t know why... I tore my face apart.”

Raymond walked into the vast darkness and said, "If the contract is valid and Horius is still alive, what do you think he will do today?"

"Be careful." Opal reminded.

The light of E7 turned to a huge monster. Its body was covered with barbs, and it let out a dull roar, as if it was awakened by the sudden light source, but it didn't dare to go forward. back the intruder.

Opal didn't know what it was. Leaning his back against the wall, he walked down cautiously. Raymond said, "It should be an extinct creature."

Opal said: "Everything here looks a little dangerous."

Below the seventh floor is a semi-closed environment. The Abyss of Destiny is rich in a variant of the atomic structure of a vel-colored metal, which presents a transparent and focusing effect. When a meteorite hit King's Wharf hundreds of millions of years ago, this abyss showed a sealed and layered structure. Features, like a ladder arranged step by step, each level is completely separated from the previous level by Versaille crystals.When the sun rises at King's Wharf, the sunlight will plunge into the abyss of fate layer by layer, dim layer by layer, and die on the tenth floor.

During the Dark Ages, local adventurers dug open the compartment here as a temporary shelter.

When Opal and Raymond went down to the tenth floor, the temperature gradually cooled down, and the creatures living here became more and more strange. The door of the No.11 floor was locked.

Opal probed the area behind the door with the power of faith, and found that it was full of liquid, which seemed to be alive. Xiao Q sent out sound waves to detect, and the returned data were listed one by one."It's all acid," Raymond said.

Opal said: "You can only pass through this floor with Phoenix."

Phoenix turned into a tiny closed shuttle, and Raymond opened the door, viscous acid poured out, and the space shuttle invaded the acid beast's body, causing it to vibrate uncomfortably.

With such a barrier, adventurers really cannot reach the bottom layer. Opal looked at the dark green liquid around him, and Phoenix turned on the searchlight, as if sailing in the deep sea.

This place is already out of reach of the sun, but the ground glows with a dazzling blue light. It is difficult to enter the eleventh floor and close the door. This is an empty world.

There is only one totem-like rough stone in the center of the entire giant pit, glowing with lingering light spots, slowly rotating around the stone pillar, the magnificent blue light is like a sapphire that can absorb people's spirits, the two of them forgot what they were going to do for a while, Ou Bo couldn't help walking towards the original stone pillar.

The necklace on Lei Meng's chest was full of light, as if echoing the blue light of the magic blue fluorite, rippling layer by layer. Opal walked in again, and was surprised to find that his past memories flew out like a soul, and different people , things, almost transparent memories, the first is Rector, the second is Xun, and the third is Raymond... Like ghosts spinning in the air, they all said something to him, but he couldn't hear clearly .

"Opal!" Cologne's voice sounded in Opal's mind.

Opal was startled suddenly, and the past scene returned to itself, and Cologne said: [Don't be attracted by the magic blue fluorite. ] Opal condensed the power of faith and resisted the influence of the magic blue fluorite. He turned his head and found Raymond standing peacefully in the blue light, with swirling memories swirling around him.

"Raymond?" Opal carefully identified the memory, and found that there were many people and things he had never been in contact with. Where did these come from?Did Raymond encounter it after he left the proving ground?

He realized that now is not the time to look, so he hurriedly used the power of faith to form a shape, rolled towards Raymond, and isolated the blue light around him.

Lei Meng woke up and said, "Is this the magic blue fluorite?"

Opal said: "It should be a piece of stone, brought by the phantom star... The Abyss of Destiny is indeed the Ark area. Quickly, go to the next floor."

The two of them just pushed open the door and stopped in their tracks.

"Be careful!" Raymond said loudly.

Opal was punched head-on, and Opal was suddenly attacked. When he received a blow to the chest, Phoenix turned into armor to block the impact, causing his chest to still tremble and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lei Meng hadn't seen clearly what it was, and punched left and right with both hands like a gust of wind, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and before he touched it, he was kicked again and flew back.

"Get out of here, human," said a boy's voice expressionlessly.

Opal panted, stood up and asked, "What the hell is this?"

Raymond didn't have body armor, and he was hit again just as he got up, and then there was a loud noise from the other side. Opal crossed the big sword, and Phoenix was bent with a bang, and Opal flew like a cannonball with a man and a sword. Lemon rushed out, fell to the ground, and Raymond rushed up. The child stretched out his hand and twisted Raymond's wrist, twisting his entire arm. Raymond roared angrily, and with all his breath, he punched the child on the head. , The child didn't move at all, and rushed to the wall with Raymond, slammed into it hard, knocking his body into the wall, and blood spattered everywhere.

"Raymond—!" Opal pushed with the force of faith in desperation, and the boy retreated suddenly.

Dodged the power of faith!How can this be!

It was like a world under the sea. The magic blue fluorite glowed blue at a height of [-] meters above their heads, like sunlight cast by the sea.

Dozens of chains condensed by the power of faith were transformed into Opal's hands, and he chased the child under the blue light. The child's movements were so fast that they were not human at all, and suddenly rushed from the gap between the chains. Opal hit hard.

Opal yelled in pain. This was the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered since leaving Lie Xing. Raymond struggled to get out of the pit, grabbed his arm and fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Opal's only guess suddenly was the weapon.

Is this the strongest individual researched by humans in the Dark Ages?A killer weapon against the clone army?Damn it, even Cologne didn't remind me that there would be such a horrible thing at the bottom...

The child came again in an instant, Opal raised his sword to resist, but Phoenix was caught by the child.It suddenly shattered into fragments, enveloping Opal's body, and the kid who was about to activate the Sea of ​​Time rushed in from the fragments.

His speed was too fast, and he punched Opal's left chest again. Opal's ribs were broken, and his heart stopped beating in an instant under the pressure of this huge force, and he fell back with a mouthful of blood.

He was lying on the ground panting, and was lifted upside down by the child, who grabbed his hand and foot, and was about to tear him into two pieces with all his strength, when Raymond let out a desperate roar and rushed from behind. come up.

The child turned around suddenly, and Raymond hugged him tightly, his chest vibrated, and a ray of blue light was projected, the atomic furnace in the heart frantically gathered energy, and turned on the self-destruct mode.

"No—" Opal yelled.

Just one second before Raymond blew himself up.The child instantly turned into dark green fragments and scattered, reunited in the distance, and said coldly: "You will all die."

Opal: "..."

Opal finally knew what it was.

"Hate, hypocrisy and arrogance."

The debris rolled towards Raymond, threw him off the ground, and then condensed into a corpse in mid-air, punching him, and knocking him back to the ground.

"That's a saber-toothed tiger!" Opal shouted its name, and Phoenix was shattered into pieces under his thoughts, and rolled towards the human-shaped saber-toothed tiger in mid-air. It passed through Phoenix's body with a swish.

"Let him combine!" Opal said.

"Unable to combine." Phoenix replied: "The number three machine does not accept instructions, you must first tame it."

"Phoenix, you already knew?" Opal asked.

Raymond lay panting in a pool of blood, and the fragments turned into sharp knives and flew down like a torrential rain. The child's voice said ruthlessly, "Creatures without souls, how do you know what Horius has done for everyone?"

"I know." Raymond gasped, "Stop it!"

Opal hit the ground with a sword, releasing all the energy, and the red light burst out, and the entire sixteenth floor ground was shattered. Opal and Raymond fell to the seventeenth floor along with the collapsed ground.

Seventeenth floor: Tomb of Heroes.

Opal and Raymond could only be beaten when they encountered this powerful humanoid mech. The two bumped into each other, and ran all the way into the depths of the cemetery without caring about the terrain. Opal said: "Go to the grave of Horius. I don't believe that he can still... destroy Horius' tomb..."

Raymond was covered in blood, and the two dragged out a trail of blood. There were graves all around. Opal couldn't even see the scene in front of him. He just instinctively ran towards the central cemetery.

The saber-toothed tiger chased them up again and sent them flying straight away. Opal hit the tombstone straight and fell down.

Lei Meng lay on the ground, staring at the saber-toothed tiger.

"Horius." Raymond said, "I know what he wants to do...I don't...I don't want to...I am also an intelligent life form...I promise you..."

The saber-toothed tiger stopped moving, with sarcasm and hatred in its eyes, whispered: "Go to hell." Then it mercilessly hit Raymond's chest.

"Do not--"

The moment Opal opened his eyes, Phoenix shot out a red light, brazenly piercing through the ceiling of the fifteenth floor.

Another earth-shattering collapse, a small dot flashed on the zenith, and then fell rapidly, the magic blue fluorite whirled with blue light and rushed to the ground, making a loud noise, shattered into powder, and countless flying powders lingered in the air, at that moment It was as if the consciousness that filled the entire world was released, galloping, roaring and sweeping over them.

"Saber-toothed tiger, guard here." Horius' voice sounded: "Until the new heir ends this era."

The figure of another officer appeared in the air: "I believe that human beings will not be destroyed."

Rector's figure is impressively among many consciousness bodies: "With time, we will win."

"Farewell, Horius." A strong man in armor came from afar and bowed to greet Horius.

"Teacher." Horius said, "I still insist on my belief that we and Karb should not be mortal enemies. As long as we are individuals with souls, we have the right to live in this universe..."

The saber-toothed tiger fell silent, and Raymond tried his best to stand up, saying, "Horius' belief is also my belief. You can see...you can see..."

In his chest, the atomic furnace quietly flashed blue light.

"His beliefs have gone further than his life," Raymond said. "I believe Horius will let me take over his mission."

The saber-toothed tiger shattered into fragments and scattered again, and then gathered into a lapis lazuli ring, which clattered to the ground.

"The sea of ​​time starts."

The tide-like red river swept across Opal and Raymond's bodies, rolling them together and wrapping them into a transparent nutrition capsule. The entire cemetery of heroes glowed with the light of the soul, floating and sinking in the surrounding world.

Opal opened his eyes in the sea of ​​time, and the damaged bodies of the two after the first battle slowly repaired.

Opal: [It finally calmed down? 】

Raymond: [Well, I almost killed you. 】

Opal: [Born to fight, and died to fight.If you walk too much at night, there will always be times when you get stumped, what a joke. 】 Both Raymond and Opal laughed.

Opal turned his head to look out, and there were three tombstones.

In the center is: Horius, the god of war, is buried here.

On the left: Mark Shakes rests here.

On the right: Ayana Sphinx is buried here.

Opal recalled the people and things he had come into contact with in the past, and found that only the title of Horius was recognized by the entire universe, not a position or a nickname.Even if he has extraordinary attainments in martial arts, Azeroth, who can draw with Cororin, is only named "God of War" in his own country.

However, when everyone mentioned Horius, they all acquiesced to his status as the God of War.

With a crash, the nutrition cabin opened, and Raymond fell out of the sea of ​​time.

"Not yet," Opal said.

Raymond waved his hand. The skin on his chest had been healed, and there was no visible damage to his abdomen. Opal was standing beside him dripping wet. Raymond picked up the lapis lazuli ring and asked, "How do I wake it up?"

Opal said: "Phoenix."

Phoenix said: "It needs energy, a lot of energy, otherwise it cannot be revived."

Raymond said: "Can it be injected in batches?"

Phoenix said: "Yes, awakening it from a dormant state requires a huge amount of initial energy, and the soul of the saber-toothed tiger is buried in a place that you cannot go to. Only Opal can reach it."

Opal said: "Let me try, how do I do it?"

Phoenix said: "Merge your consciousness with me, and use the power of your belief."

Opal closed his eyes, and Phoenix disintegrated suddenly, turning into flying scales that revolved around him, each piece showing a 36-hedron crystal shape.

His consciousness merged with Phoenix, and the world around him was like a blazing fire at the time of creation. The lapis lazuli ring rose from the ground, and a ray of light flashed on the surface of the ring.

That ray of light is like a star at a certain moment in the depths of the universe.

"Prepare for the jump, destination, origin."

With a bang, all the scenes moved away from him, King's Wharf turned into a point, and then hundreds of billions of stars turned into vast white lines and passed by him, and then countless galaxies turned into vortex clouds and penetrated his body , At the last moment, Opal came into a white space.
