Indescribable things.

After relying on mental resistance to eliminate all distractions, I immediately guessed what was in the sky.

This extremely weird way of appearance is definitely not something that can be possessed by natural creations. The existence in the sky is like an extra-dimensional drill bit, easily breaking into the thin world where low-dimensional creatures like us exist.

The brutal and direct way of appearance does not mean that the existence in the sky is intellectually ignorant. On the contrary, that existence may possess morality and wisdom that are beyond the knowledge of this world.

It's not that I can't, I just don't care.

Just like I can pick up a pen and scribble on a painting easily, and I can step on an anthill without any effort, but I am never in the mood to make eloquent villain declarations, so I can enjoy the awe screams of tiny things in slow motion. of.

Yes, I just don't care.

The body of the stone statue is black and green, with spots and stripes of gold and glitter on the surface. It is kneeling on the ground to form a safe house, with a faint white light shining all around, as if even the crisis in the sky is temporarily away.

I helped King Ada, who was on the verge of collapse, to the wall. I felt relieved when I heard her reciting the name of the platform in an incomprehensible voice.

She took a risk to save me before, but she can't just die...

But it's not just her, the current colonist system is broadcasting information frantically, flashing repeated warnings one by one.

[Danger reminder: A powerful spiritual wave sweeps across the area, and the spirit of the colonists will be seriously affected. Please go to a safe area immediately...]

[Danger warning...]

[Danger warning...]

【……】

What interrupted me was an unexpected voice.

"Marcus..."

Kay appeared. The young man's purple turban was stained with blood. I didn't know if it belonged to him or someone else. It didn't matter anymore, because he didn't know it either.

The Kai in front of me was scarred, but his eyes exuded a kind of light, a blazing white light and an indifferent color, replacing his previous perseverance. It was as if the pure white background had been wiped away from all the glitz of the world, and it was shining The color that still exists after death is the real color.

The light of this color is so familiar, because it is radiating from the eyes of the stone statue, seeping from Kai's eyes, and flowing from the jade of reality in my arms, forming a faint light at my feet of halo.

"I'm connected to the psionic energy network of my ancestors."

Kay nodded to me. When he spoke, the buzzing voice of the stone statue also vibrated at the same frequency, proving that what he said was indeed true.

"Kay, tell me what you know right away." I stared at Kay with an indifferent expression.

Kay's expression seemed to be mentally affected. The subtle facial adjustment was a bit like being called on by the teacher when he was in a daze in class, and then he remembered that he had graduated many years ago.

"There is a lot of information pouring in, and I haven't been able to receive it all...Kay...yes, my name is Kaye..."

He raised his head after waking up from a deep dream, his eyes were filled with white light, and he said something that made people frown.

"Marcus, we may have made a big mistake."

"…What do you mean?"

He said urgent words with an aloof expression, so contradictory that he looked like a schizophrenic.

"The psionic energy once affected the world, but now it has been destroyed. Only this ancient creation has stored the information, and we, the descendants, have the psionic energy factor and can open this information."

"I just learned that the exiled ancestors are the result of the group's deliberate actions. The ancestors are all special people like Zach. They are almost insulated from psionic energy by nature. Even if they are gathered together, they cannot generate psionic energy, let alone rebuild it.

Can network.”

"They are not survivors of the nation, but messengers sent out to warn the unknown king on the continent, to warn the entire human race, and even to warn the civilization of this planet thousands of years from now! Warn them,

Never make the same mistake again!"

My eyelids jumped, but I suppressed my tone: "What is the warning? Just don't get close to Kuroshio Island? That would be too underestimated of human beings' talent for seeking death."

Kai said indifferently: "No. The exiled ancestors only know that this Kuroshio Island contains the treasures of their ancestors, and they have been looking for them for generations. In fact, Kuroshio Island is not a forbidden place. When descendants who are strong enough come here,

You will see the stone statues, gain knowledge about everything, and also get the warning in this bloodline..."

"When everything is calm, the descendants will only remain silent when they find this place. But when the planet moves to the correct position again and all the disasters and evils break out again, the city on this island will be the last refuge of mankind...

"

I see.

The original disaster originated from psionic energy. The stone statues and Kai, who were both at the end of the "psionic energy network", were just a LAN computer and its user. They could only access limited information and could no longer connect to the vast network.

.

This dangerous power has disappeared into history along with the "great nation". People like Kaye who find the truth can at most treat it as a warning after watching a disaster movie and get convulsed, but they can't get real understanding.

"Knowledge".

After all, the veterans of the Voyager Alliance also remember that the curse in their blood comes from "knowledge".

But what does this refuge mean?

"Tell me more about the shelter." I asked.

"The city where the stone statues are located is in an ocean where time has stagnated. It can escape the attention of certain beings. Only by escaping there can we survive planet-level or even greater crises, but this city has mysteriously disappeared."

Yes, the Ptolemaic Science Corps was still tirelessly exploring the secret realm on the eve of the defeat of General Morden's resistance. They must have guessed this from Kay's parents.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful his wisdom was, he never expected that ancient humans would leave behind a lethal force far superior to his...

"Then the question is, what exactly was released from the sky?" I finally asked the question that mattered most to me.

After experiencing countless crises, this was the most confusing one for me. There was no logic, no warning, and no clues. After I exhausted all the limited information at hand and pieced it together, I thought I could get a glimpse of the whole picture, but I found that I only got a glimpse of it.

A bigger mystery.

But in the dark, there are countless people floating in and out of this mystery, looming and looming.

The threads of everyone's destiny here are intertwined and woven into a dense web, trapping everyone in it and unable to move.

To pierce this web, in addition to finding a sharp enough knife, you also have to find the thickest and most important longitude and latitude lines in the web, peel off the cocoons, and pierce the key points before you can escape.

Is this "great nation" that existed tens of thousands of years ago the "longitude and latitude" that I have been searching for so hard?

Kay said indifferently, "No one knows what it is. Even if the ancestors have fought with this existence for thousands of years, they don't know who the enemy is. That existence represents some abnormal phenomena. Daibiaoq can crazily alienate all materials and cause destruction.

And destruction is a necessity, and we are just a bunch of bacteria standing in front of it..."

The "longitude and latitude lines" are actually broken?

The “great nation” doesn’t even know who its enemy is?

Perhaps seeing my horror, Kay spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

"What is before us is a curse, but the enemy is not a curse. Do you understand?"

"The ancestors exhausted all methods to deal with the crisis, and finally discovered that their enemy was not a concrete object that existed objectively. It was probably just a law, a law that represented destruction, annihilation, and decline in the universe. No matter who violated it, there was only

Obey, there is no possibility of disobedience..."

Defeatism…

The "great nation" also fell into defeatism. They were arrogant and wanted to change the world and gave up, blaming their failure on their own irreparable mistakes.

No wonder they said "curse" instead of "enemy", because no one can compete with the rules. The final struggle of the "great nation" actually just destroyed the existence of civilization and used the last chance of the ethnic group to broadcast to other people——

Don't make the same mistake again!

"Are you sure it's a psionic problem?" I asked.

Kai shook his head: "Psionic energy is the starting point of everything, but it is not the answer to all problems. The ancestors used destruction to seal the curse, and all the news about themselves and the crisis were destroyed, and only in exchange for the precious ending...

"

The demise of the mysterious marine civilization empire, and was lost in all historical documents. During the same period, the mainland civilization also had many primitive religious groups, but they were also strangled and cleaned up by the Church of the Holy Spirit. They exchanged destruction for peace and temporarily ignored all massacres and oppression.

If you say so, this is appeasement, self-destruction, and a last resort.

So this operation led by Mr. Rhodes finally awakened the "existence" that had been sleeping until now, and will the disaster of that year be repeated again?

So this time, what kind of ending is needed to save it?

Recalling what I saw in my dream, as well as what Professor Craven said and did back then, I have reason to believe that in addition to Ptolemy under General Morden, there is another group of people who are actively looking for this place, and they were even attacked in the process.

The unknown inspiration formed an existence similar to a secret sect, actively trying to awaken "existence".

But what is expanding in the sky is not the "door of truth" as Professor Craven calls it, but a "cancer of the universe", which is destined to be destroyed the moment it is opened.

What is the connection between this thing that can corrupt the universe and the "cosmic sore" I saw in my dream?

"Marcus, it's too late now."

Kai smiled bitterly, the light disappeared from his eyes, he disconnected his spiritual connection and returned to human thinking, leaning against the corner dejectedly.

Then, without any warning, there was a whooshing sound, accompanied by a drum-like sound, and finally evolved into a thunderous sound, and the long-disconnected psychic transmission was finally restored.

[Now that you have finished chatting, please listen to a few words from me.]

Old Yorkson's voice suddenly sounded, as if it had been brewing for a long time.

"Did you hear everything just now? Is it really hopeless?"

[Although the ancient maritime empire was powerful, it was not omnipotent. They were proud of their powerful civilization and believed that others could not do what they could not do even with the power of the planet. But they missed many things, such as greatness

The disappearance of the city is a typical example]

Indeed, who would have thought that a built city would still run away.

[The warning they wanted to leave to their descendants was not delivered, but turned into a hard search by the Voyager Alliance. After I learned about this from old Kai, I started investigating everything. 】

Yes, compared with the "great nation" that failed to deal with the unknown existence, the old miners have dealt with the "ultimate disaster" before, and the scope of control is dense and the destructive impact is small, even stronger than the "deep sea" in the parallel world.

"catastrophe" action.
