The main control tower of the Sky City was surrounded by corpses. Prince Rand, who was kneeling in front of the pedestal, had almost lost his human form. Under the dark red robe, his slender, spider-like fingers flicked like convulsions, leaving only one The only eyes are opened vigorously, and the flickering eyes reflect the final battle between crazy human nature and machine rationality.

Forty-five thousand, 210 seven people have all been reduced to the puppets of the female spider of the urban intelligent system. Only the most determined people can wake up from the dream woven by it. Yuritan used the last soul burst to call back his soul. Sanity, but Solaris and Greer's attempt to save the situation by attacking the system interface in the main control tower is completely wrong...

Human King Fatales, you are truly worthy of being the last victorious king of the Rift Era. With your selfless help, tens of thousands of elite human beings that I have painstakingly selected have stepped into this trap without hesitation. Bearing the charge of betraying mankind, they and I will use eternal hard labor to make up for our mistakes. What a result!

You set our crimes and punishments so clearly, but what about yourself?

Wasn't it you who betrayed mankind the first time?

Even you are no longer a human being, just like us, you are just a puppet of a higher life. It is true that you were lucky and found a better ideal sustenance before the advent, but so what?

It's all just a last struggle before the end.

Having said that, as your chosen new hope for mankind, they also deserve my solemn hospitality, so let me give them a gift at the end, may they feel my affection...

Staring fixedly at a point of blue sky outside the main control tower gate, Prince Rand's eyes were like embers of candle flames, flickering at last, and finally extinguished.

The final operation from the prince who still had some authority bypassed the intelligent system and successfully arrived at the city's mechanical defense center, activating the preset instructions in it.

A production line connected to the material warehouse started to operate, and the ingots of metal blocks were sent to the conveyor belt like flowing water. Even if Prince Rand could only mobilize the solid-state energy he had previously transferred out of a certain state of mind, this "battery" was enough for him to complete the process. The final revenge.

When those metal ingots were melted, cast, and then transported to the machine expansion under the base of the city, in the depths of the inner space of the city of the sky, Fatales stood in front of the huge engine of the city, which looked like a blue heart , this creation created by an unimaginable civilization, which can even pass through space, is already in operation. The overflowing energy fills this space, and it seems that there is a mist shrouded around him. That is because the particles that make up this body are escape.

The time has come, this body has been preserved for today.

The city management system that is being upgraded has sent some strange and changing information. As a human being, Rand is indeed strong-willed, but it is only a matter of will, and there are many such people in the world.There is nothing surprising about his ideals, his means, his wisdom, and even his luck. As long as human beings continue to exist, such people will never be cut off.

Fatales took a step forward, the lines of his body became more and more blurred, faint light came out from the depths of his flesh and blood, and the Dragon Heart, which had supported this body for 200 years, began to execute the instructions set by the Holy King Dragon that day. The light of the heart became brighter and the human body became more illusory and transparent. Fatales spread his hands and raised his face slightly. After more than two hundred years, he was finally able to let out a sigh of relief and embrace his long-awaited death.

The hero of the Rift Age, the once-recognized king of the Central Continent race, Fatales, the wanderer of time, turned into a white star and threw it into the engine of the city against the tide of energy.

Any contract and promise is not credible in the face of an excessive power gap.How to ensure that this ark city can always be used by humans in Middle-earth?

It was born from an interstellar civilization that developed the technology of combining "people" with tools to an extremely high level. Even though its descendants have almost forgotten everything, their bodies are still inheriting the genes of civilization through thousands of generations. The engineering work survived, so they were still able to manipulate its relics in various indirect ways, to change realities that could not be changed by individual efforts alone.

A soul that is tough enough, as long as it finds the right entrance, it can turn itself into a program through auxiliary means, overwrite the initial settings of a complex system, and make it run with new rules.

With no one to witness, Fatales will live forever in this way, and will also usher in eternal peace in this way.

In the main control tower, the urban intelligence system, which uses most of the computing resources to connect with the city engine, casts a layer of faint blue light on the surface of the corpses on the ground, and the human body is decomposed indiscriminately from clothing and other dead objects. Their souls are sent into the city information network without waste, and will become a standard basic service unit after formatting, no longer have an image, no longer have a name, and there is even no retrospective means to find evidence that these data were once human beings.

But this may not be the most tragic ending.

The heavenly ladder raised up the last batch of humans who had been implanted with the water of talent on the ground in the form of a preliminary transformation. For the city management system that has properly arranged tens of thousands of "basic units", their whereabouts have long been known. arrange.

This huge mass of meat quickly rose to the base of the floating city, the connecting channel was closed, and a new wellhead was opened at the same location. It was the silo connecting the main energy pipeline of the city. It's glowing blue.

The huge dough of human flesh is floating above the mouth of the well, slowly rotating, and inside the closed skin has formed a strange world that can make ordinary people go crazy. Hundreds of brains are floating in the turbid water with their seaweed-like nervous system. In the novel, the exciting ingredients synthesized by the "natural water" increase their activity to the limit, and the ecstasy and dreams that no one knows are connected with each other. The conscious body that once belonged to human beings feels the happiness beyond the limit of the senses, and becomes a human being in the closed sea of ​​consciousness. The omnipotent God, the past, present and future are eternally perfect, so they are not only connected in the physical level, but also merged with each other in the spiritual level without resistance, just like the gifted water of snakes Gathering together again, the group of completely melted souls flowed into the "beacon" formed by these molecular mechanical locks.

The moment the beacon was formed, the blue light of the silo flourished.

The flow of high-energy particles destroys the material structure of the beacon in the time of microseconds, pushes the solidified information formed by the high-density spiritual matter, crosses the space in an instant, touches the invisible barrier that exists somewhere, and then is enough to shatter the energy of the planet in space There is no trace of annihilation on the membrane, only the invisible "beacon" has crossed this extremely long and extremely short distance and entered the mirror universe.

The moment it penetrates the space membrane, the surging violent energy is attracted to the beacon, following the mysterious path of repulsion, filling and activating, making it glow and heat, and expanding continuously, just like in this world. A silver star lights up in the red sky.

All the masters of the floating city have seen this star.When it passed through the outer space defense network of this world and fell into the wind layer of the inner space, the silver star burst suddenly, split into scattered meteors in the center of the sky, and shot in all directions.

Cubage was running like a flower in the high-altitude floating city. Duke Delderan, who was taking a nap on the throne, opened his eyes and saw a meteor flying towards him across the city's barrier.The mechanical knight on the balcony immediately started to intercept it, but the trajectory of the movement remained unchanged. It directly penetrated its expanded blocking position and composite shell, and broke into the hall amid the short exclamation of the attendants.

The Duke still supported his head, raised his hand, and flicked his fingertips in the air, causing the star to stop in mid-air.

After reading the correct identity information—the life form with the strongest energy and the highest level in the unit of time and space, the beacon will automatically unfold according to the mode set by the program. In the center, the only coordinate indicated on the map of the large area of ​​the other world is the arrival point of the corresponding city.

The Duke looked at the map expressionlessly for a while.Realizing that the waiters who were not attacked by the enemy had calmed down again, the Duke made another gesture, turning this concrete coordinate into bright stars again.

The palace supervisor stepped forward with the silver box in his hand to put away the star, and the duke said, "Give it to the king."

The manager replied softly: "Yes." Then he backed out.

Clusters of pipelines soft as silk slipped gently from the duke's robe. This powerful nobleman who was recognized as second only to the king at that time walked down the steps and slowly walked out of the balcony. The internal circuit that was leaking energy was restored as before, and the damaged shell returned to its original state.

The silent knight stood up again, and the waiters in the hall followed his back with reverent eyes.

Second only to the king... It is not so much a fact, but a recognized modesty. The current king cannot compare with this duke in any way, but the latter recognizes the former's status and gives him the authority he deserves.

Although this authority is neither sufficient nor complete, even though the ability and courage of that human king are still considerable among the increasingly corrupt nobles, it is obviously difficult to be the final finisher of this grand millennium plan, so although the Duke himself After returning to them, they were indifferent to them, and even because he was so indifferent to the point of disgust, the nobles respected him even more, and everything was dominated by him, just like at this time following the beacon swarming numerous signals.

The beacon arrived as promised, and a total of 54 senior lords got the coordinates of arrival.

The breeze is blowing, and the breath of the forest is as fresh as ever. The Duke overlooks the city below. The colorful shade of trees surrounds rows of high-rise buildings. People walk on the road and fly in the air. Distinguish the joyful cries of young men from the wind.Children are always full of energy.

Perhaps because the long-awaited moment had finally come, the Duke thought for a moment of those who had stood beside him here.

The more you want, the greater the price you will pay. This is the common sense of the world.

Outside the city’s petal-like barrier, the edges of the sea of ​​clouds lit up streamers of light. Those were the envoys of the lords from all sides. After receiving the friendly signal they sent before entering the warning range and receiving instructions from the upper layer, the largest floating platform slowed down. Slowly ascending to the front position, the visitors were all noble people, so the ceremony officials who seldom moved also took action and began to prepare the guard of honor.

An uneasy wind blew in from the outside of the city. The Duke lowered his eyes, and birds flew up again in the forest. The waiters filed in from outside the hall with their dresses and various ornaments placed in the static force field. The Duke looked into the distance, revealing nothing. A merciless smile.

"'Natural selection,'" he said, "'survival of the fittest.'"

When the No. 1 messenger from Outland stepped off the mechanical ship and formally set foot on the territory of the city, on the other side of the Middle Continent world, a rain of steel arrows carrying the last will of Prince Rand was pouring down.

Compared with the industrial alliance's artillery attack like Thor's Hammer, these metal raindrops falling from a height of thousands of meters are almost gentle. The straight silver raindrops fall on the city, on the river, and on the ground, except Occasionally, there will be a bang when it penetrates some metals, only the rustling sound of breaking through the air and the sound of chi chi landing, splashes of water splash on the water surface of the moat, a thin layer of smoke and dust rises on the ground, and the eyesight is weak. Good people can clearly see that in the lower city where "rainwater" is the most dense, especially the inner city, the walls that still stand and the buildings that have collapsed are rapidly showing "rain marks" like iron brushes on the surface .

Even though the commander-in-chief of the Union army issued an early warning in time, only a part of the people that the Union soldiers could take away when they retreated from the inner city were those who were overwhelmed under the ruins, those who hid in the depths of the house, and those who strongly resisted the Alliance people's cries Leading people who fled to every corner, when this torrential "spear of the sky" landed without distinction between enemy and friend, these tens of thousands of lives only had time to make a short scream before they were quickly annihilated.

The inner city residents who watched the rain of destruction in the security field were speechless. They all knew about the "Spear of the Sky" and its brilliant record in suppressing labor rebels, but they never thought that one day they would be It will fall on their heads with equal grandeur.The coalition forces of the countries who watched the battle almost the whole time watched the rain in horror. Within a day, they saw two modes of warfare that were difficult to compete with only manpower. This not only showed the form of traditional warfare—— This form of maintaining the ruling class-is about to be eliminated, and it also means that the cracks will reopen, and the time when human beings will usher in the catastrophe of annihilation is really coming.

As if something in the dark sensed their thoughts, a vision reappeared in the sky and earth, and a silver star fell from the sky. In the vast sky, this small star is actually not easy to be noticed by people, but almost all life can see it. got to it.

For when it landed, it was accompanied by a vast celestial spectacle.

The sky darkened and became darker and darker until the earth fell into complete darkness. Perhaps only people standing on high places could see a glimmer of light in the sky, but for all intelligent life on the plain, their entire sight And all the attention has been occupied by that thing in the sky that I don't know how to describe, even the tragic war scene has been squeezed out of my mind by this behemoth, leaving only the instinctive trembling.

This is "Castle in the Sky".

It is from another world, another civilization, and the weapons of war and habitats created by intelligent life whose appearance is completely unimaginable are creations that completely surpass human common sense.

People stared at its almost endless black base with wide eyes, watching various lights turn on one by one, illuminating those vast areas engraved with mysterious textures. The lights are like a sea of ​​stars, but not only failed to reduce the fear of human beings, but made them more curious. Clear that hopeless gap.

If this is the power of the Rift World... they are nothing more than fighting against the gods!

Is there any chance of humanity winning - or just defending itself?

And in this despair as deep as darkness, the bright star is still falling, the more it falls, the more pure and dazzling the light of this disaster star is, until people can't see it, it is convenient for this bright star The center suddenly exploded, and countless meteors flew to all parts of the sky in an instant. At the same time as the silver star exploded, there was a loud noise in the sky, and the earth was also shaken. Many people fell to the ground. The fetish is slowly moving away from the earth.

The natural sky reappeared from the edge of the world, and the darkness receded from the earth with the rise of this floating city—or the giant spaceship. However, hope did not return to the world because of this.

In the brighter and brighter sky, Takla looked at it and said, "It turns out that it is 'decoupling'."

Fatales engraved it with his soul, the energy of the city engine has filled every passage in the city, the double beacons of the world beyond the rift and the world of Central Continent have been launched, the city is finally no longer bound by the earth, and will begin to The last mission entrusted by its agent.

Even though the process seemed a bit slow due to the size of a metal world, people could still see it, and could only watch helplessly as this omen of doom crossed this land and made its way to the wider Middle Continent.

It will begin its voyage around the world.

This doesn't take a lot of time.

When it finishes marking the coordinate points of Central Continent and returns to the starting point, the gap will reopen from that moment, and the high-energy world on the other side will start an unimaginable fusion process with this world from then on.

Undoubtedly a catastrophe, and a very small possibility of opportunity, all of these will be displayed in front of Yun Shen.

The display mentioned here does not refer to the overall perspective obtained after collecting and sorting out relevant information, but as it is literally shown, the changes in the 54 key locations related to this will all be passed through the huge indoor stadium suspended in a ring. The 54 real-time stereoscopic images were clearly presented in front of him, so to speak.

This Sky Eye system came silently, which is surprising. When it flew through the window without damaging the glass in full view, and flew in front of Yunshen who was in a meeting, people almost thought it was under attack. Yun Shen established a subsidiary relationship, so people knew the role of the silver star that turned into many meteors and flew away in front of the country of mist.

These meteors fly over and monitor all the "falling" coordinate points, only a few are the unusual landmarks that they have observed and paid attention to before, and although the rest of the places also show various differences under the panoramic lens, there is no Undoubtedly, no country or region can find out and mark these coordinate points that span the entire world before the arrival of the other world.No matter what form the other world comes in, once the rift reopens, countless human beings living in these areas will suffer huge disasters due to ignorance.

Therefore, this sky-eye system is obviously only a powerful help for human leaders identified by Fatales. With it as an assistant, even if there are still many difficulties to face, this system complements the nature of the industrial alliance and its organizational form. The importance of the monitoring system cannot be overstated.

And according to the results of the reconnaissance airship's inspection over the Bone Claw, which is the closest coordinate point to the Industrial Alliance, and the geological team's repeated inspections with conventional and special instruments around the Bone Claw, these "cameras" cannot be found by ordinary people, nor can they affect other people. Functional, even according to Meravia, although these subsystems function in this space, they do not exist in this space in the form of matter.

Therefore, even if the rift is restarted and the two worlds merge with each other using these 54 coordinates as the fulcrum, they can still play their roles stably.

In addition, as the highest leader of the industrial alliance, Yunshen can not only zoom in, zoom out, adjust the angle, or close, or retract the subsystems of a certain or a certain batch of coordinate points, but also Move it, split it, set it up and give it different permissions.

He completely uses this to help or directly influence countries and regions that need this Sky Eye system, and information means power.

Bright light shines in through the huge glass on all sides of the gymnasium. Yun Shen stands in the center of the open field that has been completely emptied. The landscape of mountains and rivers and the scenes of human life projected by the sky eye system surround him, like a complete miniature In the world, the researchers are busy recording and taking pictures, and occasionally ask Yunshen to cooperate to operate a certain subsystem.

Amidst the change of light and shadow, an elf who was a researcher raised his head from the gap in the record.

"Although..." he said, "he looks, really, a bit like..."

"Like what?" asked the person next to him.

"Like a god," said the elf softly.

Others showed a little surprised expression, but when she followed his gaze, she couldn't help being silent in agreement.

In the Hall of Light, the perfect human being with black hair and black eyes is surrounded by a whole world. In his palm, everything in the world can be looked up and turned upside down at will. This scene really looks like a god.Everyone loves him like a god.The identity from another world not only did not hinder what he did, but became a proof of his ideal.

The world is heading towards an unpredictable future, and the more people find the powerlessness of individuals, even a single country, and a single race in this upheaval, the more clearly people realize the significance of the road he insists on for all human beings.

During the break, Meravia, who watched the whole process but did nothing, sat down beside Yun Shen. "It is indeed a useful gift for you." He said in a sincere tone, "but the best thing should be that city."

Yun Shen didn't answer right away, and Meravia asked, "Don't you want it?"

Yun Shen said softly: "If you can get it, of course it will make the situation more balanced."

"Then what are you worrying about?" Meravia asked with a smile.

"I'm thinking about the meaning of balance." Yun Shen said, "We already know that war is inevitable, because this is a long-term plan that has reached the final stage, and everything must give way to the survival of the race. Similarly, we have been able to It can be seen that due to the large power gap, most countries and regions in the Middle Continent world will be in a passive position of disadvantage for a long time."

"If there is such a variable as you, it is indeed the case." Meravia agreed, "No one predicted your appearance, and no one could have imagined that you could make changes to the world in such a short period of time , this war has become more exciting because of you."

"Even if there is no interference from the industrial alliance, the races of the Central Continent world will not be extinct in the war." Yun Shen looked at the vast picture in the stadium and said calmly, "The reason is not that they have the same origin as the opposite world, but that Someone, or a force that needs them to continue to survive, and to survive, learn from the enemy who invaded the world, and continue to develop along a different path until they prove with victory that their evolutionary direction is superior, or compel their enemies to reform their own society."

Yun Shen asked Meravia: "Because war can't solve the problem, but if you can't find the right path, everything will eventually perish, right?"

Meravia looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Yes. Exactly as you think."
