『Time Slot·Start——』
『Time Distortion·Pause! 』
In a world where time has stopped, Xia Xiu stood quietly.
At the moment when the flow of time suddenly stops, the surrounding world instantly loses its original color and becomes like an old-fashioned black and white movie. This transformation is both rapid and complete, shrouding the entire scene in a quiet and dreamy atmosphere.
Every detail of the surrounding environment - from the mini version of the [Shimaria Shield] rock body to the huge outline of the mechanical city-state in the distance - is covered by a gray curtain.
The disappearance of color makes everything look sharper and clearer, and every contour and line is emphasized by cold light and shadow.
The ice-covered ground, the bodies of the stone beasts, and even the snowflakes floating in the air are all fixed by this colorless static.
The Time Demon, wearing an inverted triangular skull mask on his head, floated quietly behind Xia Xiu. The edge of the triangular skull was as sharp as a sharp blade, depicting an awe-inspiring beauty.
The mask covered its face, only exposing the lower jaw, but the deep purple eyes penetrated the shadows, and the light penetrated the stagnant time and space. They were like explorers traveling through the abyss of the universe. Bright and unfathomable.
Huhuhu——
[Vashak] exhaled a breath like white smoke. Under the skull mask that looked like an inverted triangle, cold air spread like mist rising from the abyss, and the surrounding air changed. It was freezing cold.
The snowflakes floating in the air-conditioning seem to be captured by the magic of time, suspended in the air, and solidified into eternal crystal.
『Legion Deployment·Hound of Tindalos——』
Under Xia Xiu, the shadows began to stretch continuously, as if they were devouring the surrounding light. Growing and extending in the cold light, like a sinking sea of darkness.
In this undercurrent of shadow, countless twisted stalkers are squeezing each other. They are prisoners who escaped from the shadow kingdom. Their existence is a provocation to the laws of nature. In the ever-expanding shadow, hidden There are countless hounds of Tindalos, their existence is so unstable that it is difficult for mortal eyes to grasp their true form.
Their shapes are unstable and distorted beyond comprehension, like monsters in the deep sea that have never seen light.
They roar hoarsely in this kingdom, the sound is so harsh, like a curse from another world.
The legions in the Shadow Kingdom continued to spread, and soon six hundred and sixty-six hunting legions were extending towards the stopped stone beasts at Xia Xiu's feet.
These hounds are monsters released from the shadow kingdom. Their bodies are twisted and their shapes are vague, as if they are ghosts escaping from the depths of a nightmare.
Soon the hounds began to swell like dark clouds before a storm, their hunger indescribable.
When the hounds swell, their bodies seem to be stretched by invisible forces, their muscles swell and their skin twists. Their bodies are now more like monsters stitched together by darkness and madness. Each expansion was accompanied by their painful howls, which echoed across the empty ice sheet like appeals from the depths of hell.
"Roar——"
Their teeth are as sharp as knives, shining with a cold sheen. They launched a fierce attack on the stone beast, and their teeth tore through the hard shell of the stone beast like sharp blades penetrating fragile cloth. In this bite, the shell of the stone beast shattered, revealing the dry internal organs inside. The eyes of the hounds flashed with enthusiasm and hunger, and they greedily sucked everything from the stone beasts.
Their teeth seemed to be the sharpest blades in the night, penetrating the hard surface of the stone beasts. They began to suck greedily, like a gluttonous feast. In silence, the existence of the stone beasts was eliminated bit by bit.
The stone body of the mini version of [Shimalia's Shield] became fragile in front of these monsters. They were unable to resist and could only be torn apart by the hounds.
The cracking sound of stone beasts and the howling of hounds intertwined to form the last elegy of this world.
As a witness to this hunt, Xia Xiu stood on the ice field, with expanding shadows under his feet.
His golden eyes reflected every detail of this atrocity, and then he moved forward slowly, with a steady and firm pace.
In the stagnant world, he is the only being who can move freely.
Everything around him seemed extremely silent under the sound of his footsteps.
As he advanced, he quickly walked out of the shooting range of the force field cannon launched by the stone beasts.
Behind him, the hounds of Tindalos were engaged in their furious hunting.
These amorphous creatures tear apart the bodies of the stone beasts with astonishing speed and ferocious power.
Their attacks are full of brutal efficiency, each bite is partially exerting its own characteristics, and the pollutant source of Meme escapes from their bodies.
Click, click, click -
A sharp and harsh chewing sound came from their mouths, and the hounds chewed crazily the "energy" trapped in the still moment.
Some hounds still have fragments of stone beast bodies emitting sparks and arcs in their mouths, as if they are enjoying a terrifying feast.
This display of violence, although staged in still time, actually lasted less than seven seconds.
When the blond young man came to the furnace of the huge city-state, a huge bell suddenly resounded throughout the world.
Hum——
This sound seems to be a call from another dimension, announcing the re-flow of time.
At this moment, time begins to flow again.
As the bell rang, the frozen world began to slowly wake up.
The world that lost its color gradually began to regain its original color, just like a black and white painting being gradually painted with bright colors.
The force field cannons launched by the mini version of the Shield of Himaria, which were originally hovering, began to slowly accelerate in the air. As time passed, they finally landed on the ground under the influence of inertia, making a violent roar. , as if announcing the return of some great power.
Boom——
In this exploding energy storm, Xia Xiu was already standing in front of the furnace of the Mechanical City State, as calm as a mountain.
The robe he was wearing fluttered slightly in the wind, and his golden hair danced in the air, unshaken by the explosion behind him
He did not look back to see the spectacular explosion scene behind him.
At this moment, he has walked out of the explosion range, and these explosions are not as good-looking as he used to make. Compared with the "travel mark" he left on Callisto, the explosions behind him are really nothing to see.
At Xia Xiu’s feet, the shadow kingdom began to change quietly.
The originally stretched shadow gradually shrank, like a dark ocean slowly ebbing.
Those terrifying hounds of Tindalos, wild beasts that once roamed the shadow kingdom, now pour into the shrinking shadow one after another, as if being swallowed into another dimension. Their shapes twisted, changing from terrifying beasts to flowing shadows, and finally completely blended into the feet of the blond young man.
As the last hound disappeared, the shadow of the blond young man became calm and small again. Now, instead of a hideout for a terrifying creature, beneath his feet was an ordinary shadow, proportional to his body.
At the same time, he was holding a dismembered mini version of the [Shimaria Shield] body in his hand, which was emitting electric sparks and arcs.
Obviously, these mini-versions of the [Himalian Shield] are imitations, and they are different from the giant structures [Himalian Shield] that walk on the surface of Callisto.
They are made of machinery, and those giant structures walking on the surface of the desolate planet are special creations that are neither biological nor mechanical.
Xia Xiu carefully and spiritually scanned the severed arm in his hand, and soon he found a tiny electronic device silicon chip.
It integrates a large number of electronic components, transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc., and they are flashing crazily, proving that even if they are disabled at the moment, they are still performing various complex electronic tasks, from basic data processing to complex calculations and calculations. control functions.
"Sure enough, Iberia's spear fighting skills come from the same source..."
Xia Xiu stretched out his right index finger, and a small amount of data fire appeared on it, He tapped lightly on a certain part of the limb with his index finger.
Dong dong dong——
As if receiving some supreme command, the metal on the broken mechanical arm began to be covered with blue geometric lines, and the arm began to disintegrate into small pieces. Cubes, these small cubes were suspended quietly in mid-air, and soon, the metal structure wrapping the chip was completely decomposed, revealing the integrated circuit inside.
That's a chip that's only 0.5 mm.
Xia Xiu took off the chip and then threw away the robotic arm.
“It has a built-in micro quantum computer, which is far more integrated than traditional chips. The chip has built-in adaptive lineage functions and can seamlessly connect to various lineage networks. Moreover, it uses biocompatible materials and can be safely implanted into the human body. Or integrated with biological tissue."
Xia Xiu played with the chip in his hand, and the chip rotated in the index finger and thumb of his right hand.
“A perfect product, what a pity...”
With his touch, the chip began to pulse faintly, like a cursed heart.
This pulsation is not a physical vibration, but a spiritual fluctuation that quietly penetrates into the depths of his consciousness. The blond young man felt that an invisible pollution was overflowing from the chip. This was a suffocating pollution, an evil force that could weaken people's reason and drive people into madness.
This pollution is like an invisible black mist, slowly spreading to the outside.
It carries indescribable fear and pain, and the dark sides hidden deep in human consciousness are gradually awakened.
This kind of pollution can make ordinary people's thinking begin to become confused, and past memories and perceptions of reality are intertwined to form a terrifying illusion.
And Xia Xiu quietly felt the formation of the illusion.
He seemed to see ancient and evil beings awakening from the darkness, possessing unimaginable power and forms.
The tentacles of these ancient beings stretch beyond time and space, manipulating the fate of the universe.
He felt like he was trapped in a huge spider web.
As the power of pollution continues to increase, the pollution that causes people's sanity to gradually collapse also begins to increase.
"It's a pity that this thing is not designed for humans."
The index finger and thumb of his right hand clamped the chip tightly, as if he was controlling a dangerous beast.
A small handful of blue flames emerged from his hand. This flame was not an ordinary thing, but a special manifestation of energy. It exuded a blue light, beautiful and mysterious.
The flame seemed to be alive. It slowly stretched out, covering the chip exuding horrific pollution in layers. This is not just a physical coverage, but more like advanced data processing, an invisible battle.
As the fire of data covered it, the chip began to make a shrill scream, like a trapped beast struggling.
The sound was sharp and harsh, as if from another dimension, full of pain and fear. However, although the sound was unsettling, the blond young man's expression was unusually calm. His eyes were focused on the chip, completely unaffected by the surrounding environment.
The fire of data continues to burn, and its light gradually becomes stronger, as if it wants to burn out all pollution and terror.
Under the illumination of this flame, the pollution on the chip began to disappear quickly. First, the contamination at the edges becomes blurry, and then gradually fades away. Finally, the entire chip is cleaned, as if it has never been touched by evil forces.
As the pollution disappeared, the shrill screams gradually weakened and eventually disappeared into the air.
“Hu——”
The blond young man gently blew out the data fire in his hand. The chip lay quietly in his palm, losing its previous terrifying aura. He stared at the chip as if thinking about something.
The surrounding world returned to calm again, leaving only the lonely figure of the blond young man and the purified biochip in his hand.
Xia Xiu gently raised the chip in his hand, and the small object began to show amazing changes in his palm.
The chip that originally seemed hard and unchanging now began to extend and squirm continuously, like a living metal worm.
This change happens quietly, but it is full of mysterious power.
The surface of the chip began to ripple subtly, as if the molecules inside were rearranging.
Its edges gradually become blurred, and then slowly stretch out, slender and soft, like tentacles exploring the world around them.
These metal tentacles dance slowly in the air, reflecting the light and shadow of the surrounding environment, shining with a breathtaking light.
With curiosity and scrutiny shining in his eyes, he seemed to be silently observing every detail of this strange phenomenon.
The chip continued to deform in his hands, and its central part became more swollen, as if there was some kind of life force gestating in it. And its surface, the areas engraved with strange symbols, are now clearer, and each symbol seems to be alive, shining with mysterious brilliance.
As time passed, the metallic worm-like chip became more and more active.
Its movement is no longer a simple peristalsis, but begins to expand and contract rhythmically, just like breathing. During this process, the gloss of the chip surface is also constantly changing, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if it is communicating with the outside world in its own way.
“Is this a cybernetic parasite?”
Xianyu is guilty. Lately, he has been doing code writing on the spot later and later (the tooth hurts too much. I will continue to take anti-inflammatory drips today. Completely dizzy), so there are more and more mistakes and repetitions, so it can only be issued as an anti-theft stamp.
However, today’s web crawlers are very powerful and can crawl many things accurately. Some people have learned python specifically for this purpose...
This is very subtle, but generally they don't crawl the author's words and pictures, and they probably can't see this paragraph, and crawlers don't care about "after-sales service."
