The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1724: humanoid ritual

I saw more than a dozen humanoids standing in front of the ruins, placing the items in their hands on the ground in a certain way, and then performing a ritual under the leadership of the highest-ranking humanoid.

During the process of this ritual, waves of energy emanate from these humanoids. These energy waves are a mixture of energy waves such as life energy, electromagnetic energy, etc. At the same time, they did not merge with each other, but conflicted and rubbed each other, so that these energy waves appeared in various colorful ways like rainbows, and spread to the surrounding land, covering the entire footprint ruins. Leo's hidden position is also within its envelope.

Although Leo has done some camouflage shielding protection, in the face of this mixed energy wave composed of a large amount of complex energy, shielding spiritual energy has not been able to completely shield all the energy, there are still some energy waves and spiritual energy. It can produce collision and friction, and then emit a halo that is not very strong, but is very eye-catching in the energy wave.

Such a striking halo appeared on the hillside not far away, and even if there were some relatively low trees around it, it was still seen by those humanoid creatures.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the abnormal halo, the humanoids of more than ten meters were all stunned. They obviously did not expect such an abnormal situation, but several of them were the tallest and should be guards. He quickly recovered from the surprise, and invariably pulled out three palm-sized round shields and three short spears that were not very long from his arms, and then saw them flick their arms, and the round shield immediately unfolded an energy shield. , and the edges of the energy shields fuse with each other to form a complete shield to protect all the dozens of companions in it, and two energy thorns protrude from the ends of those short spears, forming a complete energy spear.

The leader who had been protected stood up from the crowd, and raised three pairs of arms to form something like a magic handprint in the air, and then he saw a lot of energy gathered in his body and poured into his body at the same time. In the magic handprint, the energy gathered by the handprint has also quickly increased to the limit, and it emits a dazzling light. It seems that the energy in the handprint may rush out at any time.

Originally, after his whereabouts were discovered, Leo planned to come out of the hiding place and show his identity in front of the intelligent creatures in this world, but when he saw that the leader of those intelligent creatures was planning to make a move, he dismissed the idea of ​​coming out. , but stood in place, continuing to expose the position in the energy wave, waiting for the opponent's attack.

After about ten seconds, the energy concentrated in the magic fingerprint of the humanoid leader seemed to have reached a critical point, and then he heard the leader roar loudly, and the guards in front of the leader immediately moved away, and at the same time Remove the front shield.

A ray of light spewed out from the leader's hand like the energy cannon of a battleship, and rushed straight to Leo's position. Everything in front of the light, from vegetation to stones, was vaporized or shattered into powder. Almost in the blink of an eye, he came to Leo.

In the face of such a powerful energy beam, all Leo did was just stretch out his hand to block the front of the energy beam, just like blocking the light beam of the flashlight with his hand, it was easy to block it, but he did not block it at the same time. To disperse the energy beam, he used the gravity skills he had mastered in the past six months to continuously compress the energy beam that fell into his hands.

After more than ten seconds, after the energy beams condensed by the humanoids were all shot out, Leo's palms had condensed these energy beams into an egg-sized energy group, suspended in the air, and because the energy beams cleared his way Any obstacle in front of him, at the moment when the energy beam disappears, his whole person is completely exposed to those humanoid intelligent creatures.

The moment those humanoid intelligent creatures saw Leo, they all exclaimed in unison, and they were all chanting a word in the exclamation.

At first, Leo thought that the words recited by those humanoid intelligent creatures might be words like monsters, because it seemed to him that normal people would think that they saw monsters when they saw these humanoid intelligent creatures. When creatures see a human like Leo, they also think that human beings are monsters.

But soon he found that his guess might be wrong, because the expressions on the faces of those humanoid intelligent creatures, the eyes in their eyes, and their tone of voice did not seem to be calling some terrifying monsters or other existences, but looked like It's like calling for an object for them to worship. Although the worship of these people is not as extreme as the worship of gods by believers in religion, it is also beyond the ordinary object of worship. Some are like calling heroes. people.

Leo, who did not feel any obvious hostility, walked towards those humanoids, and as he approached, those humanoids gradually quieted down, and each of them looked at Leo nervously, or Look at the energy group condensed in Leo's hands.

Although these humanoids cannot easily perceive the strength of certain energies like Leo, they can still rely on analysis and judgment to know how dangerous the energy group Leo randomly entrusts in his hand is. In this case It's hard not to be nervous.

I don't know if it's because of nervousness, or because of other reasons, these humanoids have broken away from the inexplicable adoration just now, and they have become calmer, especially the humanoid intelligence headed by them. biology.

"Stop, creator." Just when Leo came to a position about ten meters away from them, a mechanical voice was transmitted directly to Leo's mind. It was not appropriate to say that it was a sound. It was more like a sound. It is an open-ended thought wave, and what it conveys is not anything mysterious, just a sentence or an idea similar to a discourse.

In the past six months, Leo has used similar methods to transmit information to Sylvia. Although it is transmitted directly through the soul consciousness, and this is transmitted through energy waves, the core method is no different, so Lei After passively accepting this method of information transfer, Ou immediately knew how to use it.

So, according to the method he mastered, he transmitted a wave of thoughts and said, "Creator, are you talking about me?"

Because this thought wave did not designate a specific object, all the humanoid creatures in front of Leo passively accepted this thought wave, and when they heard Leo's rhetorical question, they were all stunned for a while, and then looked towards Leo's eyes became a little weird, and he seemed to become less worshipful and respectful.

"It turned out to be the Forsaken," the humanoid named the head gave Leo another nickname, and continued: "According to the laws of the Holy City, you are qualified to go to Sky City, but we need to perform spiritual rituals now, so Please wait for a while, and when the ceremony is over, we will take you to Sky City."

Although it's just a sentence, Leo can get a lot of information from it. First of all, these humanoids obviously regard him as other people. These people should also be human, which means that this world is a civilization built by human beings. , and those human beings seem to be divided into two levels by these humanoids, one is called creators, these are highly respected by humanoids and should also have certain privileges, and the other is called forgetters, which The class should be the appearance of the same human, and also have some powers in these humanoids, such as the ability to enter the sky city, and the ability to watch the ceremony, but from various indications, this power should be more because Leo showed it. power, not given by them voluntarily.

It is not difficult to hear from the name that the human named creator is likely to be related to the origin of these humanoids, which means that these humanoids are probably not naturally generated, but the human named creator through some technology Man-made life forms.

This kind of human intervention to create intelligent life forms is a taboo law in the universe civilization. No matter what civilization touches, it will inevitably face a severe blow from the Supreme Council of the universe. This blow may even make this civilization completely disappear. .

But there are no perfect rules in the world, and even taboo rules have some loopholes, and many civilizations proficient in biotechnology in the universe rely on such loopholes to create some subsidiary life forms. There are many signs that the development of earth civilization also has There are traces of interference from alien civilizations, and the Earth Federation also has such technology, so Leo was not surprised when he first analyzed that humans have created a powerful group of intelligent life forms.

Although Leo analyzed the information revealed in the words of the humanoid in his mind, his body still reacted to the proposal of the humanoid leader and directly retreated a certain distance, indicating that he was just a bystander attitude, and then silently watched these people perform the ceremony.

The ceremony that was interrupted because of Leo's appearance had to start all over again, but the guards did not participate in the ceremony, but still held shields and spears to guard the clansmen who performed the ceremony.

Although a few people were missing to join, the effect of the ceremony did not weaken because of this, and the energy wave similar to the one just now was generated again and spread to the surrounding area, covering the surrounding area.

Just after the speed of the energy wave reached a certain frequency, the leading humanoid immediately stripped off his clothes, then held up a vessel full of mysterious liquid, and poured the liquid on himself from the beginning. , and those liquids were continuously absorbed by his skin in the process of flowing from his head, and not a single drop of liquid could flow to the ground smoothly.

When the body of the humanoid leader absorbed the liquid, the energy wave generated around him instantly collapsed with his body as the core, and all his eyes became dark and dull, and even the surrounding light was approaching his eyes. The part also had a distorted effect, as if his eyes had become black holes, and some blood vessel-like things extended from under the skin at the corners of his eyes, spreading little by little, and finally spreading to his whole body, making his There is a blood red pattern on the surface of the body.

When the pattern covered the whole body of the humanoid leader, the humanoid leader stopped all rituals, stood up, and walked towards the giant footprint in the ruins ahead. Those followers or other identities behind him The followers immediately recite some scriptures or mantras in a higher voice.

In the blink of an eye, the humanoid came to the footprints, and the surrounding gravity increased several times so that the humanoid leader lost the relaxed expression on his face, and there was even a drop of sweat on his forehead. Drops, and the sweat was immediately evaporated by the hot air around it as soon as it came out.

Looking at the footprints full of strong gravity, the humanoid leader showed a trace of worry and fear on her face, but she finally suppressed all the negative emotions in her heart and resolutely walked into the footprints .

Before entering the footprints, the humanoid leader was able to counteract the surrounding gravity by concentrating everyone's strength. When he entered the footprints, the surrounding gravity suddenly increased hundreds of thousands of times. Such a strong gravity has already It exceeded the body of the humanoid leader, and also exceeded the defense limit of the foreign forces concentrated in his body. In an instant, the humanoid leader was crushed into a fleshy mass and smashed to the ground. , rolled it for a while, and then embedded it into the soil that was repeatedly tamped by gravity on the ground.

The death of the humanoid leader was completely beyond Leo's expectations. If he knew in advance, he would definitely save him, because this humanoid leader was a bridge for him to contact this special alien civilization. When the bridge collapsed, he needed to find a suitable contact from among these people.

However, what surprised Leo was the reaction of those humanoid creatures. According to normal circumstances, the sudden death of the leader would definitely cause surprise and panic among the followers, but the other humanoid creatures seemed to react to the leader's death early. As expected, there was no mood swing at all, and he was always reciting some prayers and the like, and this also made Leo suspect that the death of the leader might be part of the ceremony.

As those humanoids stood up from the ground one by one, holding up various utensils, as if they had entered a state of primitive shamanic rituals, they danced and swayed, and one after another complex energy waves flowed from them. The utensil in his hand was projected, and it crossed an arc in the air and fell into the flesh mass formed by the humanoid leader who smashed to the ground. The flesh mass immediately emitted a dazzling light and was suspended under the action of the strong surrounding gravity. Get up, and then slowly move past the footprints.

When the meat mass moved out of the footprints, strips of flesh-like tentacles extended from the meat mass, and then intertwined with each other at a speed visible to the naked eye to form a human-like human body. Then these tentacles began to expand and fuse, and finally restored to the previous The humanoid leader who was crushed into flesh by the super-strong gravity, but compared to just now, the humanoid leader at this moment seems to be blind with two pairs of eyes, but in his hand there is an extra spherical crystal that emits gravity waves .
