Chapter 707 Exploring the Floating City
Chapter 707 Exploring the Floating City
The spaceship slowly drifted to the edge of the floating city like a fallen leaf, and then stopped without making any rash moves.
The spaceship they were riding on was already very large, enough to accommodate three normal combat formations. It had almost all the commonly used rooms and lounges inside when on duty, which was enough to meet normal living needs. It could even stay afloat for several years. It was called an aerospace fortress, but now compared with the floating city in front of them, it was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.
But at this moment, the elephant of the floating city was surrounded by a chilling aura of death, and all the living things inside had been consumed by the wind of destruction.
The Dark King carefully observed the floating city through the window.
The surface of the floating city is always surrounded by a special force field, which is similar to the barrier produced by their force field generator. It is a means of isolating the inside and the outside. Moreover, both the physical defense capability and the energy defense capability are amazing. With their current level of technology, it is almost impossible to destroy it. This is also the pride of the wizards.
However, no matter how powerful the force field is, it cannot resist the ripples of world destruction.
The barrier that they had tried their best to break was now in pieces. A gray-black aura enveloped it and passed through the floating city unimpeded.
Their surveying instruments can also play their role.
"There's no life force fluctuations above, and the magic fluctuations are very even. There's only one magic gathering node in the lower middle part of the floating city, which should be the energy core."
The senior leaders of the scientific research department tested various equipment on the aerospace fortress and presented the results to King Anmie.
"Also, Your Majesty, the world is disintegrating faster than we imagined. We may need to readjust our plans."
The destruction of the world is a process. From the time they give up restrictions to their final demise, there may be decades in between. Although it is only a short moment compared to the world, it is a very long time for them, the Annihilators.
But now, because of their plan, the model that originally calculated the progress of the world's destruction shows that the progress of the world's destruction has been accelerated.
"How much time is left?" asked the Dark King calmly.
"I guess it's half the time."
"I remember that when you were evaluating the plan, the estimated results you gave me didn't seem to be like this."
The senior members of the Research Department immediately knelt and said in panic, "Your Majesty, please calm down. There are many variables in the destruction of the world, and errors in model estimates are inevitable. We are currently more focused on determining progress based on phenomena."
"You're worrying too much. I'm well aware of this, and I won't punish you." King Darkness glanced at them and said, "Send the exploration robot in first to see what's going on inside. If there's no problem, you'll be ready to lead your men in and attempt to take over the floating city. As the head of the research department, you naturally have to shoulder the responsibility."
"This..." The senior executive of the Research Department hesitated slightly and said, "Of course it's possible. However, while the detection robots won't be targeted by the Wind of Destruction, they will still be affected. I'm afraid the information they transmit back will be distorted. Moreover, these robots are new research products, so their specific effectiveness is probably difficult to determine."
"Should we still...wait."
The senior executives of the scientific research department wailed in their hearts: Although they will not be punished, they will be the first batch of personnel to receive them. Once they go up, the wind of destruction will still remain. With their cultivation level, it will be difficult for them to completely digest it.
King Anmie's eyes were icy: "Are you questioning my decision?"
The senior executives of the research department immediately knelt down, their heads pounding like garlic: "Your Highness dare not."
The other senior executives around were watching closely, their faces expressionless, and even their breathing slowed down, for fear of getting into trouble.
King Anmie broke the silence and said, "I am not a cold-blooded king. I have made every possible preparation for letting you take over. You see."
As the Dark King finished speaking, the gray-black mist and corrupt wind that enveloped the floating city stopped spreading and began to gradually shrink.
The senior executives of the scientific research department stood up upon hearing this and happened to see this scene.
"How is that possible? We, we haven't developed the equipment to control the wind of destruction yet..."
The senior executives of the Research Department were filled with shock, but a possibility that they didn't want to think about came to mind: Could it be...
King Anmie said, "Since you are curious, why not go and take a look."
The Minister of Scientific Research, one of the senior figures, crawled to the window and looked down through the window.
Under the End City, in the cracks, layers of white cocoons were revealed.
They are like the foundation, and can be clearly seen in the cracks, being closely arranged one after another.
The Minister of Research collapsed to the ground: "This is the evil method of the previous dynasty..."
The Dark King said calmly, "No, this is the way to save the world."
The previous generation of King Anmie was a genius and a legend.
When he took over, his father left him a mess.
His father wanted to study a way to cross the world, so he mobilized the entire country to focus on research. Unfortunately, before he could get any feasible results, he was assassinated and died.
No one was surprised.
The consumption of resources was too rapid. The world was weak, energy was scarce, and resources were poor. Because the policy of research priority was over-implemented and heavy taxes were everywhere, the survival of the Anmie people was even a problem. The people of the Anmie Dynasty were in turmoil and had their own calculations.
However, at the critical moment, the previous generation of Dark King took over.
He developed a unique technique.
Through meditation, one can deepen one's connection with the world, and through practice, one can absorb the aura of destruction that continuously gushes out from the depths of the world.
This method is painful, but the destructive aura it absorbs and contains is terrifyingly strong. Once attached to the body, it can break anything. More importantly, when the world is weakening and the power of various techniques is unstable or even degenerating, only this technique is increasing in power day by day due to the changes in the world.
Not only that, anyone who practices the exercises can sense that after absorbing the aura of destruction, the pace of the world's destruction is slightly delayed.
Although it's only a tiny amount, when more people practice it, the slowing effect becomes more obvious. If everyone practices this technique, then we can buy more time...
Therefore, relying on this technique, the previous generation of Dark King reunited the Dark Dynasty from the brink of collapse.
And the martial arts will be promoted nationwide, not for fighting, but to save the world.
The geniuses of the world were gathered in the City of the End, using their wisdom to deduce this technique together.
Everything was going smoothly and getting better, but the good times didn't last long.
The current King Anmie, who is also the younger brother of the previous King Anmie, was suddenly abducted to the palace on a rainy night and announced as the successor to the throne.
His brother, who was once regarded as the hope of saving the world, was accused of being a murderer who killed many lives.
Batches of people were transferred from the satellite cities. Without exception, after learning new skills, they were used as cocoon bricks to fill the space under the End City.
The essence of this technique is a sealing effect.
Everyone who practices the exercises is subtly changing his or her physique so that he or she can withstand and accommodate the aura of destruction.
They absorbed the aura of destruction and used it to suppress it. With enough of them, they actually opened up the End City, a pure land free from the aura of destruction.
However, if this cruel method is used, something bad will happen one day.
Rumors are everywhere that the previous King Anmie was cruel and bloodthirsty, killing tens of thousands of people every day and burying their corpses underground to consolidate his rule.
The previous King Anmie was assassinated and died in the same appearance as his father.
And his younger brother, the current King Anmie, took over.
"After I took over, I investigated the truth behind my father and brother's deaths until I discovered a secret."
"My father wasn't the useless person who hadn't researched anything, as the records say. He succeeded. He successfully found the coordinates of another world and connected the two coordinates."
The high-level officials present were unable to remain calm and looked at the Dark King in horror.
"Could it be that……"
"These wizards are..."
A mocking smile appeared on the face of the Dark King. "That's right, these wizards followed the traces left by my father to find him. My father's death was not the result of an assassination by someone close to him, but the result of the wizards' actions."
"My brother was the same, the God-killing Butcher, the Blood-robed Emperor, but those people clearly sacrificed themselves voluntarily for the sake of the world."
"These are the work of wizards."
"They didn't want us to escape, and they also wanted the world to be destroyed, so my father and my brother died one after another."
The higher-ups below couldn't help but ask, "But what good would it be to destroy the world?"
The Dark Lord said, "The best benefit is this rare experience of observing the destruction of a world. As for us, we are just insects that we cultivated for the sake of convenience. They could have crushed us long ago. They just want to see if we can perform any amazing feats under the pressure of the end of the world."
King Anmie made shocking remarks.
The senior executives present were all a little confused. They had never expected that things would turn out like this.
This untalented king actually discovered another world.
And the slandered God of Death actually had another hidden story.
Of course, there are also senior executives who stand by and watch coldly.
In the final analysis, these things are all one-sided words from the Dark King. What's more, his father and brother are already dead. There is no point in dwelling on these things. Since he wants to put all the blame on the wizard, that's fine.
"Your Majesty's words are truly enlightening. The wizards' assassination of two kings is an unforgivable crime. If we allow them to succeed, we will also be doomed. We are doing this as a last ditch effort; there is no other way."
The Dark Extinguisher said, "It would be best if you agree. We are explaining this to you because we want to tell you that if you want to preserve the Dark Extinguisher heritage, this is our only chance."
"The floating city before us is the wizarding world's way of controlling our world. We don't have much time. We gave up the End City just for the coordinates above. If we don't succeed, you, me, and everyone else will die."
The Dark King's gaze swept over everyone.
"Of course, I will also land on the floating city with you."
As he spoke, the gray-black mist was absorbed by the black cocoon bricks under the End City.
The original gray-black destructive aura was actually cut off and absorbed, disappearing completely.
However, the color of the black cocoons below became increasingly darker, and many of them began to tremble, obviously unable to hold on for long.
A leak is like a hole in the dam.
Although it was temporarily filled, the gap still existed and it was only a matter of time before it was broken open again.
Countless small robots of the aerospace fortress spread out, attached themselves to the floating city, and began to scrape and chisel along the cracks in the floating city. Soon, one breach after another appeared on it.
These small robots were all equipped with short white blades imbued with a destructive aura. Even the alloy defenses of the floating city could hardly withstand these short white blades under the rules of this world.
Soon, the robots explored several areas near the floating city.
There were no living creatures present, and from the furnishings it could be seen that many wizards had been blown away by the wind of destruction while resting or fighting.
The hatch in front of King Darkness opened.
The Minister of Scientific Research smiled flatteringly and immediately walked in through the gap with his men.
In the floating city, magical rules are everywhere.
However, the top leaders of Anmie have already completed their metamorphosis and integrated their control over magic power.
Previously, those Butterfly Annihilators with remaining wings and antennae were only semi-finished products. To truly metamorphose, they did not need to devour other people. They needed pure magic power as the nurturing energy to transform into them, who were no different from ordinary wizards.
Of course, the function of the wings did not disappear, but was used as a spell model and fell into the sea of consciousness like a normal wizard.
If King Anmie and the others didn't say anything at this moment, everyone would think that they were wizards and there would be no problem.
The Minister of Scientific Research and his men entered the floating city.
The furnishings inside are all sophisticated runes. In addition to the normal equipment controls, the locks between areas are also rune structures.
Fortunately, the Minister of Scientific Research has also done relevant research and is very familiar with runes, or at least he is not completely ignorant of them. This is also the basis for them to try to obtain spatial coordinates and world jump technology.
Of course, he had no intention of wasting time on the door lock. He directly pierced the door lock with the white bone blade that was attached with the aura of destruction. He walked all the way to the center and saw a towering wizard tower.
If there was any possible place for the information, it could only be the Wizard Tower. According to his understanding, wizards rested and studied in the Wizard Tower on a daily basis.
The Minister of Research stopped and sent a message to the Dark King behind him: "Safe."
Then he picked up the sword in his hand and began to pick the lock to enter the wizard tower.
The floating city is now a treasure, and their future lies in it.
