Chapter 333 "Pegasus"
The people in Plot Zero hadn't moved yet, a passage that could see the outside had just been opened up in the virtual dream reality, and the communication between the scepter and the institute had just been barely connected, when Planst's communication terminal was flooded with crazy incoming messages. She was behind Ling Dengxian, and looked up to see crimson clouds gathering and surging in the sky. The horrifying scene made her alarm bells ring.
"Ling Dengxian?!"
"I'm sure the coordinates are Casimir, which you marked... We are in the city of Cavalelia." The flame rings around Ling Dengxian spread out in circles rhythmically to support the opened up space, but at the same time, the virtual dream reality once again made an earth-shaking vibration. Planst turned back hurriedly and found that the scene in the virtual dream reality was changing rapidly.
I was in a trance and didn't see the scene clearly. In the blink of an eye, the architectural elements became monotonous. The distorted street shapes that originally vaguely showed the style of Casimir floated with the vibration, and the various structures faded away and became monotonous. The only bright color block in the blue-gray tone also lost all traces. The flat gray filled the virtual dream reality. At this moment, the colors of the foreign beacons showed their alien identity. The monsters with street lights or steel bars on their heads raised their heads. They ended their inefficient wandering behavior and silently and with more progressive degrees of madness hunted for the beacons that had not yet been transformed.
After just a few encounters, those who were trying to break out on their own were torn to pieces without a doubt! Their strangely long arms clamped down on the heads or torsos of the prey that were still barely alive, and with terrifying force, they pressed the limbs in their claws into the ground.
The bright red blood wrote mottled handwriting in the calm gray world. The large-scale splash of bright red was like a scale whose gill cover was violently torn open, exposing the sticky gill filaments in the air, and then solidified.
Just like a flower that blooms to its fullest and then withers, it quickly withers and turns gray, as if it had never appeared.
Ling Dengxian frowned, "We have to quickly decipher the virtual dream reality. It should still be in time... Ju Meng, tell me the coordinates of the information source."
He was not polite, and Planster did not care about his attitude. He just said lightly, "Don't worry about this."
Ling Dengxian's eyes became even colder, but the other party no longer cared about it. Instead, he picked up the communication terminal that was still calling and took a deep breath:
"This is the dream-binding actor, what's going on?"
"Planst! We should be the ones asking you what's going on! Why haven't you activated the nodes for cross-distance jump?!" Seeing that the communication was finally connected, Ibus couldn't help but roar on the other end and almost crushed the communication terminal in his hand. Although he was the one who was angry, he was also the one sweating profusely at this moment, because his Storm Sword plan was originally ready, waiting for specific experimental startup instructions from Planst. They had conducted hundreds of simulation experiments here, but the actual situation was directly beyond all expectations.
"What's wrong? We didn't give you a signal and you shouldn't-"
"*Colombian expletive* Those things *Colombian expletive* weirdly linked themselves up when the time came! Damn! Those instruments! They used the lowest energy to measure the energy outside the star pod before - damn! You can already see the problem by looking at the sky!"
Planster looked at the scarlet vision in the sky that seemed to devour all eyes, and tried to stay calm: "It's out of control... Is it attacking the star pod?"
"No!" Ibus smashed the things around him fiercely, his eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness about the situation being out of his control, and even a bit of fear:
"It...it even follows the originally planned path, passes through the virtual dream reality node, crosses the star pod and enters the low altitude of Terra...Now it is gathering above your head in a way that we cannot deduce in a short time. You can see it!"
"...What about the energy level?" Planst asked seriously.
"Still calculating... the results are out!"
"Based on the expected weakening and heavy damage growth stage of the giant beast preview stage energy level, this Storm Sword is now aimed at the level of killing giant beasts!"
Ibus is now in a camp hundreds of kilometers away from the city of Kavaleriaki. When he saw the conclusion of the report, he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately gave the order to relocate the position while continuing to maintain the call. The original design of the experiment was not so exaggerated at all. After Planst realized the "Transfer Plan" of mobile city-scale transfer through the virtual dream reality nodes, he opened up a passage through the virtual dream reality nodes to collect the energy erupted by natural phenomena of extraterrestrial bodies and launched a one-time attack "Storm Sword" that would fall on the original site of Kavaleriaki.
But now, the attack that injured the behemoth in the growth stage has turned into a direct kill, and in fact the behemoth cannot bear and digest this blow, so the destructive aftermath is likely to spread to their side!
"Planster! Why haven't you started yet!"
"Time, after we entered the virtual dream reality, time was tampered with, and the virtual dream reality took away a part of time!" Planst looked back at the virtual dream reality again and found that the monsters had moved unusually.
"Ju Meng...is it still too late to save people?" Ling Dengxian looked back following her gaze, and Bai Jin also glanced back, then shrank back in fear.
A huge gully appeared on the gray and endless ground. The silent vibration almost shattered the lungs of ordinary people. The edge of the gully was as smooth as a mirror. Countless monsters were running along the cracked ridges, even running without caring about their shapes. After colliding with each other, they merged into each other like melted cement. At the same time, Ling Dengxian felt that the edge of the virtual dream reality that he had forcibly held up suddenly loosened, and the boundary that he could still perceive before was like quicksand in the palm of his hand, misting and pouring out.
An extremely uneasy panic swept over all the people in the virtual dream and reality and Cavalelia. Planst shouted softly and pointed the sword in his staff to the ground to stop the fear. In the gully where the invasion spread, a cold probing touch extended out. Nightmare's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice was filled with anxiety:
"Ling Dengxian!"
The actress who played Ju Meng said that she would not lie to him, and he had indeed not been lied to before. Assuming that she had not lied to him, then she had avoided the question of the beacon when he asked her twice, either directly or indirectly. That spoke volumes.
But now is not the time to be angry. Holding the increasingly heavy city-breaking spear, the stored energy and the condensed fire wings exploded simultaneously, and the giant white bird took off again. All the attention of the sensing sense at the bottom of the abyss was focused on the "Demon King" in the air. His body did not speak, but he received a huge amount of sensory information in an instant.
Indifferent, indifferent, totally indifferent.
The existence underground seemed to have tried its best to express its "goodwill", but unfortunately, the other party's "malice" was also not concealed at all.
*Give up your life, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots immediately.*
*A broken edge, the slightest touch is a sin. *
"To be honest, what you said is much easier to understand than before, but at the same time, it is also much more offensive."
"My life is as light as a feather. Anyone can take it away for any reason. But since you are unwilling to explain the reason, I cannot obey you!"
As the words came out, the fire hidden in Ling Xian's heart burned more and more fiercely, and finally it was unable to conceal the flames, which devoured his innate arrogance.
The probing consciousness paused for a moment, and then sent him a massive amount of incomprehensible information.
*Useless actions, shackles and prisons, aren't they just locking yourself up? *
Ling Dengxian couldn't help but be stunned. The existence at the bottom of the ravine communicated with him without the help of words. He could understand all the other party's meanings. Every layer of metaphor and every overlapping meaning could obtain information far beyond words and language. However, he could not understand all the information just now.
This may be a little difficult to understand: he can recognize that everything "narrated" in it is within his cognitive scope, but he just can't understand the meaning.
A brush with ink almost dripping off the tip passed across the blank paper, but not a single trace of pigment was left.
*Your selfishness is really ridiculous. The sea in your heart is really shallow, but it leads to the unknown. *
*Now, try to resist, like... you want to.*
Crazy power erupted in an instant, and the white feathered beast that was still in the air a moment ago instantly broke its wings. The instinctively disturbing thing tried to climb out of the terrifyingly smooth ravine again.
Ling Dengxian coughed up blood, and the white flame rushed into the cracks in his bones, desperately trying to restore his mobility. In the previous encounter, his internal organs were dislocated even under the heavy protection of the white flame. If he was not in the "Demon King" state, he would have been dismembered in that instant...
"That damn thing..." He climbed up with difficulty. His severe injuries forced him to stand up due to the adhesion of the white flames. The tentacles that had noticed his abnormality and stopped stepping into reality again did not act rashly. Substances invisible to the naked eye were devoured by the calmly burning flames. The white flames that ignited the power of the tentacles gradually grew stronger. Even if the person who lit it was extremely weak, the surging white flames were unstoppable.
Every movement was excruciatingly painful, but the white flame seemed to be the most effective analgesic, isolating him from the darkness of his senses like a high-quality quilt. White flames slowly rose from the edges of Ling Dengxian's black pupils, and he straightened his waist, without looking away, raised his arms horizontally, turned his palms, and raised his fingertips slightly. The city-breaking spear that had just been knocked away returned to his palm with white sparks, and the chill brought by the pain rolled along with the flame wind.
At this moment, he is completely different from "Ling Dengxian".
Even now he looked like a puppet that was barely patched together with crude needlework. The torn wounds on his skin shone white, so bright and white that it even overshadowed his skin.
No matter how he denied it, at this moment his resentment and hostility towards the existence beneath the abyss of dream reality had quietly turned into personal hatred.
*It was indeed a meaningless test.*
It was as if someone had plucked the bowstring of time, and as the stretching movement froze, the roaring world fell silent.
"Host, are you a fool? Or just a child who gets carried away by anger?" In this world where only white flames flowed quietly, Ling Dengxian only heard Xiaoxie's voice. This time he didn't even see the figure in the corner of his eye.
He looked back, but he didn't see any figure, whether it was Planst or Platinum.
"Casimi is not your homeland either. Who are you betting your life on? Do you really think of Bai Yan as a token of immunity from death?"
Xiao Xie's words were sincere: "The virtual reality is slowly eroding reality, but it will eventually be excluded by the world in front of it. You still have the strength to control some of the rights to enter and exit the virtual reality. You can still take everyone, including Plot 0, out. Quickly inform Rhodes Island to evacuate. I can help you delay the threat from outside..."
"After retreating, what next?" Ling Dengxian asked suddenly.
"You can reduce the damage, continue your journey, and possibly return home."
"Xiao Xie, that guy just now also offered to take me home, the price is my life, what about you -
"You are so secretive about my time travel, so what kind of price will you make me pay?" Ling Dengxian deepened his gaze inch by inch. He knew that Xiaoxie must be able to feel his anger.
"The disappearance of a moving city is nothing to this land." Xiao Xie suddenly smiled, as if she had become a different person. She seemed to be pacing around him, and finally smiled and danced softly in his ear.
"You're still unwilling to give up and want to save everyone, just because of a small favor bestowed by someone at some point in time with some heart?"
"Your attitude towards death cannot be explained by not being afraid of death. Do you really like to ignore your own life and death? There are so many people who care about you, but you are not willing to consider their feelings?"
"Wake up, you hate Casimir, haven't you had enough of this ridiculous game of knights?"
Ling Dengxian suddenly laughed, as if he had gotten rid of the influence of some suggestion. His laughter was clear and finally relieved the anger in his heart.
It is nonsense to persistently seek the answer from the illusory Xiaoxie. His answer has never been told by anyone, be it Xiaoxie, Kal'tsit, or the actor who plays Ju Meng... They all only know some objective facts, and what they relay are never his answers.
He will find the answer by looking for traces on the road ahead. The small crumbs are just one piece of the puzzle, and the scepter and everything are another.
"I've already said it before, I'm not a knight. A knight won't devote his true heart to multiple people at the same time."
"It's not that I'm not afraid of death, I'm just more afraid of regret."
"Casimir did make me very unhappy, but unfortunately, I am not qualified to arbitrarily decide the life and death of a mobile city. My friend is still working hard to make her hometown a better place. I can't bear to see her fail because of such an irrelevant and absurd reason. If I can help but don't, I can't give myself an explanation."
Xiaoxie said in a low voice: "But you are just an ordinary person!"
The white flames on Ling Dengxian's body burned more and more fiercely. He no longer hesitated. Xiaoxie had no way to restrain the demon king covered by the white flames. He smiled, but his eyes were filled with extreme anger and coldness:
"I am 'ordinary' and cannot live without 'ordinary', but holding up this crown, I am now 'above' ordinary!"
The quiet world was melted by the white flames. He spread his white wings and returned to Bai Jin. He felt the surging blood of Pegasus, who was a little overwhelmed by his gaze: "Ling, Ling Dengxian?"
Planster seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said quickly, "She is indeed a Pegasus, but her bloodline is not pure enough!"
Before Bai Jin could ask her how she knew her bloodline, Ling Dengxian spoke up: "Bai Jin, can you help me?"
"...Will I die?" She shrank her neck.
"maybe."
"Will you let me die?"
"Try to die in front of you."
"...Then, then you can bleed..." Bai Jin combined the words of the actor who played Ju Meng and thought that he wanted to draw blood, so he stretched out his hand and looked at the unusual sky worriedly.
Ling Dengxian grabbed her hand and hugged Xinteleya, who looked surprised.
——Because the talks broke down, Xiaoxie did not help delay the fall of the storm in the sky, and the distance of less than seven kilometers was cut off in an instant. The brutal force of the virtual dream and reality also erupted at the same time. In the original established facts, everyone in Cavaleliaki would be wiped out before they could react, but a white flame wave spanning the virtual dream and reality rolled up a white tornado, and then a pair of broad white wings propped up the dome of death, and the solid four legs trampled the invading force heavily in the world of virtual dreams.
"what is that?"
The pure white light that reached the sky illuminated the darkness that was just beginning to engulf the city. People in the chaos looked up in confusion and saw a presence like towering mountains.
Before the two pairs of wings were pierced by the violent high-energy force, a gigantic weapon rose up. In the history of Terra, no god craftsman had ever been able to forge such a huge city-breaking spear. After the flames dissipated, a god-like existence appeared in front of the disaster to save the world. Holding a slender weapon in hand and stepping on flames, it was like a new... sun.
The upper body is human, and the invisible face makes it difficult to see the true appearance, and the half body is a horse, with two pairs of wings to dispel the long night of death.
Every Casimir person was shocked to their core by the scene before them. Between the wings of that figure, they saw the darkness that was ready to devour its prey.
The older generation of Casimir people had heard of the legend of the Pegasus ancestor, but no one had ever seen what that godly Pegasus looked like. The existence before them seemed to have walked out of a myth, illuminating the rampant darkness of death for all things as in the epic.
At this moment, the "god" in the eyes of the Casimir people roared, and the weapon in his hand that was competing with the "Sword of Storm" shone brightly. Between the deaths coming from two directions, Ling Dengxian vowed to fight for a ray of hope!
