Chapter 624 Flower of Blood and Bone·Eyeballs and Statues
[Crown Blessing·Moebius Strip! 】
【Crown Blessing·Rolling Stone of Destiny! ! 】
[Crown Blessing-Wanwu·Vector Authority! ! ! 】
Three halos like mutton-fat white jade appeared behind Xia Xiu. The pure light of the halo made his figure look sacred and solemn.
These three halos are not only a symbol of strength, but also the manifestation of the magnificent [Crown Element] and [Myth Factor] in his body.
In the gray and white time-stop world, the light emitted by these haloes is particularly dazzling, in sharp contrast with the monotonous tones around them.
With the appearance of the halo, these powers began to cover [Sisyphus], making this incarnation even more terrifying and powerful.
[Sisyphus]'s body, illuminated by the halo, exudes a heart-stopping pressure.
His fists were clenched, and a symbol that was constantly distorting space suddenly appeared on the front of his fists - [∞], which is the [Mobius strip].
This [Mobius strip] is formed in the front part of the fist, emitting a force that distorts space.
The space inside the ring began to twist and deform, and the laws of the entire world were rewritten at this moment.
The surrounding space began to ripple with the movements of [Sisyphus]'s fists, and the ripples spread, rippling in the gray world like water waves.
As [Sisyphus] waved his fists, the ripples gradually became stronger.
The air collapsed in front of his fist, forming a rotating column of air.
This air column is like a huge drill, formed in the front of [Sisyphus]'s hands with the power of distorting space.
The air drill rotates extremely fast, and the surrounding air is torn and twisted, making a low buzzing sound.
Buzzing -
The rotating air column is like an indestructible sharp blade, cutting a deep crack into the gray time-stop world.
The dust in the air flew around under the rotation of the drill bit, forming tiny vortices that continued to spread as the air column rotated.
[Crown Blessing: [Destiny] + [All Things] + [Space]——]
The purple-gold incarnation exudes terrifying deterrence, while Xia Xiu, who expanded the [Triple Crown], waved his hand to signal himself The avatar launches a fierce attack and rushes towards the statue.
His hand fell quickly, and [Sisyphus] followed his movements and launched an attack.
[Elements unlocked: Tianyuan Breakthrough·Vector Impact Drill! ! ! 】
In the gray time-stop world, [Sisyphus] waved the rotating air drill with his fists, approaching the green skeleton statue.
The statue floats quietly in the air, hugging its knees tightly, exuding an eerie and peaceful atmosphere.
Its silent posture is in sharp contrast to the still world around it.
[Sisyphus]'s fists were on the left and right, closing towards the statue, with precise and powerful movements.
Buzz buzz buzz————
The air drill keeps rotating at the front of the fist, and the twisted space makes a low buzz around it.
As [Sisyphus]'s fist gradually approached the statue, the harsh friction sound in the air became increasingly clear.
Bah, bah, bah, bah—
The sound is as harsh as nails scraping against a blackboard, making people feel uncomfortable and disgusted involuntarily.
The irregular waveform and sharp volume changes seem to hit the most sensitive nerves of human beings, making it unbearable.
At this moment, the air drill and the statue collided in the gray time-stop world.
Poof!
Pfft! !
Pfft! ! !
The air drill rotates extremely fast, and the surrounding space is torn and twisted.
However, unexpectedly, the statue is more indestructible than imagined.
The drill left only a thin, imperceptible white mark on one part of the statue, which was barely noticeable.
The statue is still sitting firmly in place, as if it is not affected in any way.
At the same time, fifteen seconds have passed in the time-stop world, and the ticking countdown that represents the end of time-stop quietly sounded.
Tick tock, tick tock——
Every countdown sounds like a reminder to Xia Xiu that the flow of time is about to resume, and the tense atmosphere becomes increasingly intense.
Xia Xiu's current [Time Slot] can be fixed for about twenty seconds.
If you encounter the existence of high-level observations, the pause time will be shortened.
After the time stop for more than 20 seconds, he needed to let [Vashak] take a few breaths before he could activate the time stop again.
This is also considered skill CD time.
Although the CD of these few breaths does not seem to be long, in the high-intensity thaumaturgic confrontation and abnormal confrontation, the CD of several breaths is still too long.
The twenty-second pause was still too short.
呲呲呲岲岲——
The collision sound of the air drill and the statue is mixed with the harsh friction sound, which seems particularly harsh and uncoordinated in this gray time-stop world.
The indestructibility of the statue made Xia Xiu frown slightly. At the same time, his body had already quickly distanced itself from the statue.
In the gray world, he looked calm, his blond hair fluttering slightly in the still air, and there was a hint of thinking in his eyes.
In the time-stopped world, Xia Xiu's mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing the situation in front of him.
“The statue of an unknown figure is placed in a room with high-intensity lights, and the lights must continue to illuminate it. There is an independent backup power supply in the room to ensure that the lights will not go out at any time, so The abnormal ability is probably related to the visual range.
However, what is counter-intuitive is that it is built into special reflective coating glass, which only allows people from the outside to observe, while the coating inside the statue is. The outside cannot be observed.
If the statue is alive or has special functions, one thing can be basically concluded: it can sense the perspective and have a constant perspective.”
"...What exactly is the setting of the reflective coating glass used to obscure containment workers like me?"
While the thoughts in his mind were spinning, he quickly looked at everything in the compartment just now with the corner of his eyes, and his next move was quickly calculated in his mind.
The death of Chimera No. 1 just now was because he was holding the statue with his claws, and at the same time, the eyes of all parts of his body were not looking at the statue. That is, the constant perspective disappeared, triggering the statue mechanism.
“Mechanism speculation 1: If there is no intelligent creature staring at the statue, it will disappear within 15-20 seconds, and then appear next to the creature that has seen it before, and that creature will suddenly die at the same time.”< br>
His body squatted down again, and the five fingers of his right hand were pressed against the cold floor. Following this movement, the [Seal of Ion] on the back of his hand flashed like a bright red brand, emitting a faint red light.
『Chimera Structure——』
The bright red mark gradually became brighter, as if alive, and bright red flesh slowly spread out from the palm.
There is a mechanism for rapid structural proliferation, just like life, crawling and rapidly expanding on the ground.
The flesh twisted and stretched, as if weaving a complex network.
As time went by, flesh and blood began to rapidly take shape, forming the prototypes of miniature chimeras.
The bodies of these Chimeras quickly took shape on the ground. First, the outline of the bones appeared. The bones were slender and tough, as if they were made up of countless tiny bone fragments.
Then, the muscles and skin quickly covered the bones. The muscle lines were tight and powerful, and the surface of the skin was covered with fine blood vessels, giving off a faint red light.
Chimera’s head gradually became clearer, and its three pairs of eyes shone with strange light, full of ominous atmosphere.
Their mouths open, revealing sharp teeth, and they make a low growling sound.
The process of the squirming flesh spreading from the palm is full of visual impact. The blood flows on the ground, forming a blood-red ocean.
Chimera's body gradually emerged from the sea of blood, looking particularly terrifying and ominous.
"Roar——"
"Roar——"
"Roar——"
The three-headed miniature Chimera is back in the world like this! ! !
The upper body is like a lion, the middle is like a goat, and the lower body is like a poisonous snake.
One head is better than three heads. When one head is used up, you can get three more heads.
Three heads and nine angles, staring closely at the stopped statue.
Xia Xiu stood up, looked at the slightly funny scene in front of him, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
The three-headed chimera stands particularly like a Shiba Inu. They are grinning and staring at the statue with their three heads and nine eyes wide open. The picture looks absurd.
The cub-like movements and the majestic posture formed a sharp contrast, making it difficult for people to connect the scene with the tense atmosphere.
Xia Xiu suppressed the slightly raised corners of his mouth, pressed the top hat on his head, and walked towards the cubicle with a [Mobius strip] under his feet.
He always felt that there was something detailed hidden in this compartment.
『Buzz——』
The roar sounded again, the gray world faded like a tide, and time resumed its flow.
Color quickly fills every inch of space, and paint spreads out on the canvas.
The cold metal walls reflected the dazzling light, and the light inside the compartment became extremely dazzling again.
The light of each sodium iodide spotlight is like a sharp sword, penetrating the air and illuminating the entire room.
When——
After the pause ended, a sound of "clang" sounded first, breaking the moment of silence.
Xia Xiu looked away from the Chimera and turned to the statue.
The statue that had been suspended in mid-air had fallen to the ground, and its base shook slightly on the ground, making a harsh friction sound.
Finally, it stood firmly on the ground and entered an 'inert state'.
The base of the statue stands firmly on the ground, as if it has never moved.
The Chimera still stared at the statue with wide eyes, a low roar echoing in the air.
Xia Xiu’s body entered the compartment, but the statue was left outside the compartment.
Call out [Vashak] again and wait until the opponent is ready for the next round.
At the same time, he asked [Sisyphus] to lift the [Vector Impact Drill] that had not dispersed, change some of its internal parameters, and start destroying the surrounding buildings.
[Tianyuan Breakthrough·Vector solid impact drill bit! 】
Peng——
Peng——
Peng——
The terrifying purple-gold incarnation wields the air drill, causing silent destruction to the surroundings.
Every time [Sisyphus] swings his fists, the objects in contact will quickly compress and crack.
There is no sound of collision or friction, just a slight touch, and the object disappears into the air instantly as if the [delete key] has been pressed.
The wall collapsed at the moment of contact, and the concrete and steel structure seemed to have never existed before, quickly disappearing into nothingness.
The floor was lightly touched, and a large hole opened, revealing the internal structure.
The lights went out instantly when the fists came into contact, and the light bulbs and circuits were torn apart by invisible forces.
The ceiling also had nowhere to hide, it collapsed and turned into dust at the first touch.
Xia Xiu was like a God-view game character controlling the mouse, calmly directing [Sisyphus] to carry out systematic elimination operations.
Every instruction allows [Sisyphus] to accurately eliminate various parts of the building.
Walls, floors, lights, ceilings... everything quickly disintegrated in the hands of this purple-gold incarnation, as if the entire room was being [delete with one click] in the modeling system.
Peng——
In this room that was destroyed as if it had just been modeled, Xia Xiu finally saw what he was looking for.
A thing hidden inside the steel skeleton - a small square box of only fifteen cubic centimeters.
It was hidden deep within the walls, and would have been difficult to detect were it not for this systematic destruction.
A bright smile appeared on the face of the blond young man.
"Finally found you."
As he finished saying this, he saw the box begin to tremble.
The lid at the top of the box was pushed open by something inside, and an eyeball measuring only 7.24 cubic centimeters flew out.
The shape of this eyeball is very similar to a normal human eyeball. The iris shows a deep black color and the pupil shrinks slightly to observe everything around it.
The surface of the eyeball is as smooth as jade, reflecting faint light under strong light.
There is a pair of fleshy wings filled with white feathers on the back. These wings form a strong contrast with the eyeballs. The feathers are fine and white, with clear roots, shining softly in the light.
Buzz! !
Buzz! !
At this moment, the eyeball is flapping its wings, eager to escape from here like a bee.
Its wings vibrate rapidly, each flapping brings a slight breeze, and there is a subtle rustling sound among the feathers.
At this moment, the trajectory of the eyeballs flying in the air seemed a bit chaotic, sometimes rising and sometimes turning sharply, as if they were looking for a way to escape.
Xia Xiu looked at the scene in front of him, the smile on his lips did not diminish, but became brighter.
“Sure enough, there are other abnormal mechanisms to cooperate.”
People on this land always have more and more fun activities.
Xia Xiu looked at the eyeballs jumping around, and just slightly raised his right hand to make a take-down gesture.
[Sisyphus] Like a courtier under orders, he quickly put away the drill in his hand, stepped on the [Mobius strip], and appeared behind the eyeball in an instant.
咻——
The purple-gold incarnation stretched out its right palm, and a twisted space cage formed in the air, trapping the eyeballs.
The structure of the cage is constantly changing, like the superposition of multiple spaces, leaving the eye with nowhere to escape.
Eyeball flapped its wings crazily in the cage, trying to find any possibility of escape.
Its only eye was full of fear, looking around through the gap in the cage, as if looking for a chance to save its life.
Poof——
Every flapping caused the cage to vibrate slightly, but these vibrations were quickly calmed down by the distortion of space.
The eyeball hit the cage and was directly rebounded.
Then spinning in place dizzily.
After catching the eye, [Sisyphus] stepped on the [Mobius Strip] and teleported to Xia Xiu's side.
[Sisyphus] came to Xia Xiu and raised his trapped eyeball.
Xia Xiu looked at this little strange creature curiously, his eyes waving the pair of white fleshy wings desperately, staring at Xia Xiu with fear.
The flapping of its wings made a subtle buzzing sound, and the pupils of its eyeballs contracted violently. Uneasiness and panic were clearly evident in its only organ.
Xia Xiu's eyes were calm and sharp, and he was silently evaluating the characteristics of his eyeballs.
"There is no perceptual fluctuation curve,"
Xia Xiu thought to himself, the curiosity in his eyes gradually turned into cold analysis.
“The concealment effect is even more powerful than the [Presence Weakening] under my blessing. Even if I am looking at it now, within the detection range of spirituality and perception, there is still only a mass of air in front of it.”
The eyeballs trembled more and more violently, and the wings beat faster and faster, but they could not break free from the shackles of [Sisyphus].
"What an interesting little thing. It seems that your existence is of great value."
[Sisyphus] brought his eyeballs closer, Xia Xiu stretched out his fingers and gently Touched the surface of the eyeball.
The cold and smooth touch is exactly the same as when it is in normal contact with the eyeballs.
The eyeballs trembled slightly under his fingertips, and the wings drooped feebly, as if they had given up struggling.
Seeing this, Xia Xiu retracted his hand and at the same time stretched his hand into the nearby void.
The tiny feathers on the wings were shaking weakly, as if they were pleading silently.
Seeing this, Xia Xiu retracted his hand calmly, with a trace of scrutiny and thinking in his eyes.
His hand immediately stretched out into the nearby void, and along with his movements, subtle ripples appeared in the surrounding air.
『Your Majesty——』
"Private customization·extraction of events!" 』
He used the [Private Customization] ability of the noble son with the second authority of [Vashak] to project a regular item from the past time tape.
The ripples spread out, rippling in the air like water waves.
Subsequently, a polaroid camera appeared out of thin air in his hand.
He raised the Polaroid and pressed the shutter against the eyeball in front of him.
Click—
With a soft sound, the light in the lens condensed in an instant, just like the fear that captured the eyeballs at the moment.
The pupils of the eyeballs contracted violently, and the black pupils seemed to be frozen in fear.
In the instant camera in Xia Xiu's hand, the film after shooting was slowly squeezed out from the slit on the top of the camera.
He carefully pulled out the film, shook it gently, and waited for the image to appear.
The film swayed in the air, gradually revealing the shot.
The surrounding light focuses on the photo, and in the gradually clearer image, all the scenery appears particularly vivid and vivid.
Xia Xiu stared at the film, waiting to capture the strange eyeball.
However, as the image fully emerged, there was no trace of the eyeball in the scene in the photo.
In the photo, the shooting background and surrounding environment are shown one by one, and all the details are vivid: the cold and slippery floor, the heavy metal wall, the dazzling light of high-intensity sodium iodide spotlights.
However, the strange eyeball that was supposed to be frozen in the frame did not appear in the photo at all.
It is as if the eyeball never existed in this scene, and its figure disappeared without a trace in the photo.
Everything in the photo was clearly recorded, except for the eyeball.
It makes people feel as if it lives in another dimension, or exists in a different coating, which cannot be captured and recorded by ordinary means.
“Conventional means cannot capture its existence. Even the spirituality and perception of the crowned person cannot capture its existence. It can only be anchored through the perspective of the naked eye.”
Xia Xiu casually dismissed the Polaroid projection in his hand, and at the same time, he already understood most of the abnormal properties of the eyeball in front of him.
He asked [Sisyphus] to come to the statue with his eyeballs.
Five minutes have passed now.
The statue's killing mechanism was not triggered.
In other words, Xia Xiu's guess was correct.
"So, the key point of the compartment's containment just now was not the reflective coating, but the eyeball."
Xia Xiu also understood the insidiousness of the compartment designer at this moment.
If the person who comes to steal the statue thinks that the statue is a living thing, it is assumed that the perspective mechanism is on the object, thinking that the statue can be contained by blocking the perspective of the living thing.
Then you will definitely be tortured to death.
At this moment, Xia Xiu mentally summarized other related mechanisms of the statue.
"The killing mechanism of the statue is based on the principle of proximity, and there is no forced sequence. It has a special teleportation mechanism, and it can only be activated by contacting the victim after teleportation. The cause of death currently triggered is ruptured internal organs."
" When observing the statue, you must ensure that most of the opponent's figure is completely observed. The bright light in the compartment is designed for this."
While thinking, he looked at the other three-headed Chimeras blinking. eyes.
“This kind of observation is not absolutely mandatory. Actions such as blinking are allowed. In addition, there is a triggering pre-swing of fifteen seconds, so the space for control is even greater.”
Xia Xiu already roughly understood the mechanism of the statue. He squatted down and picked up the statue.
The statue is about 30 centimeters tall and shows a skeletal human figure sitting and hugging his knees.
The surface of the statue is covered with delicate carving lines, and it seems that every skeletal detail has been finely carved.
The green material glows with a faint luster under the strong light, making it look particularly weird.
Xia Xiu's fingers gently touched the surface of the statue and felt a cold and hard touch, as if touching a cold ice stone.
The surface of the statue is smooth with a slight roughness, which makes people wonder whether its material has some special ingredients.
He raised the statue to his eyes, carefully observed the fine carving lines, and felt a vague ancient power emanating from it.
Deep in the statue's eye sockets, he seemed to feel an invisible gaze, as if some mysterious being was peering at him through the statue.
Although the statue itself was still, Xia Xiu felt a subtle pressure from it.
Xia Xiu slid his fingers along the edge of the statue and felt the delicate carving lines running across his fingertips, bringing a cold and strange touch.
He could feel that this statue was not just a simple object, but contained some powerful power and secret.
Xia Xiu held the statue in his hands and slowly turned it over to the bottom.
His eyes were fixed on the base of the statue, and he noticed that there were several lines of ancient Terran text carved using micro-carving technology.
These words are fine and dense, with smooth lines, as if they were carved stroke by stroke with the finest carving knife.
The carving craftsmanship of the text is extremely exquisite, and every letter is clearly legible, showing the superb skill and patience of the carver.
The color of the text is slightly different from the green of the statue itself, with a faint metallic luster, and seems to be inlaid with some special alloy.
The following words are engraved inside the statue:
[In the beginning, the world was divided into three parts.
Before people knew Olympus, before the giants became extinct, before the ocean completely faded away, the world was divided into three parts.
Three big cities divide the world into three.
Mamjul and Korar, two dark fortresses guard the jungles of the subcontinent.
The magician and the warlock Nawab united to fight against the terror in the forest, and made a contract with some ancient thing.
The Daevite Covenant was thus born, and those who manipulated humans were given the first magic - the magic of life and death.
It is the largest empire, the most powerful empire. In the years to come, other newcomers will eat its plates and flesh.
*****
Inner Temple, rebelled by a charismatic slave who promised wealth.
The secular preachers of freedom and power turned to his aid.
Together they cast off their chains, slew their oppressors with new spells, and rebuilt their crumbling cities, all in the name of Arch Warlock Ion.
The Nlka (Sarkic) Empire liberated the second kind of magic - flesh magic, the magic of flesh.
*****
█Mani-███, the first great ███ of the Mekhan Empire, spread like wildfire from the desert.
The shining city rises from the sand dunes - a center of knowledge, science, and reason that the world has never seen before. It is the third magic - the fire of reason.
The machine's magic is known throughout the world, and its passion is for a new god who will elevate humanity, not terrify it.
****
In the glorious era, people from three great countries started a war to destroy the world.
They created Terra's eternal prison. 】
