Chapter 666 Flower of Blood and Bone·Endgame II
Terra Calendar 1591.01.26.
04:30:03PM.
Antarctica on the far side of the moon-Aiken Basin- The Kingdom of Heaven's deep space base on the moon.
The back side of the moon is forever hidden from Terra's sight. It is quiet and dark here. Only the thin sunlight occasionally jumps from the distant horizon, giving this desolate land a faint silvery glow.
The South Pole-Aiken Basin, the deepest part of the moon, is like an endless black hole, swallowing up all light.
The landscape here is rugged, criss-crossed by huge craters and steep rock walls.
In this dead land, the deep space ship base stands quietly.
The surface of the base is partially hidden in the shadow of the basin, with only a few isolated buildings reflecting silver light in the faint moonlight.
These buildings are low and flat, as if they are embedded in the moon's surface. The surface is covered with smooth metal armor, exuding a cold and mysterious luster.
Their shapes are like geometrically cut crystals, with sharp edges and corners, yet perfectly integrated into this vast wilderness.
The main entrance is located in the central area of the base. It is a circular platform that quietly overlooks the surrounding lunar landscape.
A huge transparent protective shield hangs above the platform, twinkling slightly under the starry sky, as if guarding a door to the unknown universe.
Most of the base is hidden under the surface of the moon, with huge underground structures extending in the rock formations of the basin.
The underground labyrinth hundreds of meters deep is composed of countless modular buildings. Each module is a self-sufficient world, carrying the hope of human survival and exploration in this barren land.
The walls here are made of heavy metal and ceramic materials to withstand the threat of cosmic radiation and micrometeorites.
The light in the corridor is soft and warm, in stark contrast to the cold darkness on the surface, giving people the illusion of being in a quiet night on Terra.
【Didi Didi————】
【Didi Didi————】
The harsh sound echoed in the corridor, breaking the silence in the base , as if some unknown crisis is approaching, pushing this base buried deep on the back of the moon into the center of the storm.
Red warning lights flashed in every corner of the command center, and the harsh "didi" sound was like a sharp knife, cutting through the silence in the lunar base.
Nemo Yegor, who is located in the core area of the command center, wears a neat military uniform that makes his figure even more slender and straight.
As one of the six inquisitors of the Tribunal, he is also the captain of the Angel of Abomination and one of the overseeing angels of the lunar base outpost.
At this moment, Yegor was staring expressionlessly at the huge virtual projection screen in front of him.
The projection screen occupies the entire wall, and the light projected reflects on his stern face.
What was displayed on the screen was a real-time monitoring image of the Earth-Moon orbit. The orbital lines were complex and intertwined, and the meticulous marks and data were constantly refreshed in front of his eyes.
However, all eyes are focused on an anomaly in the center of the screen at this moment. It is a huge "human-shaped" anomaly celestial body located in the space between Terra and the moon, about 100 meters away from Terra. 3.8×10 kilometers.
The projected content is constantly zooming in and out, and Yegor's eyes become colder as the screen zooms in.
Initially, from an extremely distant perspective, this celestial body was just a vague outline, like an irregular shadow shrouded in the void.
As the picture zooms in, the shadow gradually becomes clearer, revealing its true appearance - a huge celestial body with an abnormal female form.
The size of this celestial body is incredibly huge. Its height reaches 3476.5 kilometers, which is almost the same as the diameter of the moon.
Her form seems to rise from the abyss of the universe, and her whole body exudes a cold and mysterious light.
Her head is tilted slightly, and her long hair seems to be composed of countless stardust, floating in the void of space with the wind.
Those eyes are deep whirlpools, swallowing up all light. Looking into them is like looking directly into the endless void.
Her facial features are exquisite, and every detail reveals indescribable beauty. However, this beauty has some kind of chilling weirdness.
"Teacher..., that, that is"
As Yegor's secretary, Mori looked at the huge nebula, and looked at the presiding judge next to him with a trembling tone and horrified eyes.
"How many times have I told you that you should address your duties when working." Yegor glared at his somewhat unsatisfied student, "And how long have you been following me, in the deep space base? If you observe the crystal sky every day, you will still be scared by that thing!"
"Yes, the presiding judge!" The clerk stood up straight and replied in an incoherent manner, "But..."
< br>This can’t be blamed on him. He has indeed seen such shocking and unbelievable scenes at the etheric level.
However, what is outside now is in this world, in basic reality! ! !
The secretary tried his best to calm down his mood, and then asked:
"What on earth is that thing?"
"Gaia." Yegor answered coldly. road.
"?" The secretary looked puzzled.
He knows that the word 'Gaia' has a very important person and symbol in the etheric realm of the word.
But, what does the huge entity in front have to do with ‘Gaia’.
"You should have studied the Gaia hypothesis, or the planetary consciousness hypothesis." Yegor continued.
“I have learned that a scholar named Lovelock from the Clock Tower in the Fog City and a green-robed wizard named Margulis from the Edici Federation once published a story in the Terra Extraordinary Academic Journal. paper - The entire surface of Terra, including all life (the biosphere), forms a self-regulating whole, which is called Gaia.
They believe that it is precisely because of the emergence of life from the past to the present. , the physical and chemical environment of Terra's surface, atmosphere and ocean became comfortable and pleasant
This hypothesis is completely contrary to the traditional view that life is constantly adapting to the Terran environment, and that the evolution of life and the evolution of Terra proceed independently. Scholars now realize that life did not make Terra habitable for its own sake.
Gaia's regulation, which made Terra more suitable for survival, was a characteristic of the entire evolutionary system including life, air, oceans and rocks.
In other words, it is a large organism. They believe that life exists because Gaia intentionally guides it.
Critics of this theory believe that the two anthropomorphized Terra as a conscious being; critics point out that this hypothesis describes Terra as a purposeful, intentional being. The entity of the picture..."
Speaking of this, the secretary seemed to react, and he looked at the projection of the virtual screen with a horrified expression.
"Isn't that what it is!?!"
"Gaia - the laws from the baseline reality, they are also called star gods." Yegor said calmly, "Now in front of you , is a star god whose destination is Terra."
"Because of the Crystal Sky, he will actually arrive in Terra approximately 360,000 years later," Yegor said.
“He has always been there?” the secretary asked, “But I have not observed him at the observation station before.”
“Yes, he has been hidden through his characteristics before.
His hair can generate a stable field covering a range of 3,000 kilometers, within which all abnormal phenomena will be permanently neutralized.
This component also has the nature of a super-Micron, which can hide the existence of the Star God and conduct real-time monitoring of the surrounding dynamics and baseline reality. In the past, only Eden could observe Him, and the monitoring results about Him would be fed back The central processing system of the deep space base is calibrated by me and other supervisory angels.
His body can form an infinite extra-dimensional space that is independent of baseline reality, and the scenes in this space are synchronized with the real world. This space is immune to any crisis sequence level doomsday scenario.
His hands can select specific targets and amplify their properties several times more. This feature can be used to enhance or weaken the power of specific entities or non-entities.
His head automatically adjusts the intensity and method of attack according to the input instructions. There are various attack methods, covering narrative, plane, concept, Mimu and other dimensions.
An energy field can also be generated around this star god, which has a meme effect, strong radiation and contagiousness.
Their sphere of influence includes Terra's lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and outer space.
This energy field will form a colorless crystal group at a certain concentration, and these crystals can induce biological ingestion. Once the amount of infection exceeds a certain threshold, the biological individual will undergo an irreversible mutation process, including direct death and complete changes in body structure, and may eventually develop into a highly aggressive abnormal entity. "
Every time the presiding judge said something in a calm tone, the clerk's eyebrows and heart began to tremble uncontrollably.
"And..."
< br>
The presiding judge's explanation continued.
“His body theory still exists as an abnormal civilization group that does not belong to baseline reality. They may have extremely high intelligence and technological levels, and their appearance is similar to some kind of deep-sea invertebrate creature. This civilization is currently in The universe is in a state of heat death, and they are trying to transfer to other universes through abnormal means."
Hearing this, the scribe thought of something, and he subconsciously said what he was thinking, "You said it. It can't be... Haiji!"
"Some of them did escape from his body." Yegor nodded, "It's just that there is more than one cause of Haiji. Listed separately as a crisis sequence, there are other complicated relationships behind it."
"Then why did he suddenly appear?" the secretary continued. Yegor replied: "Since the seventy-two hours after the crisis, two huge portals have appeared in the sky over Terra. Those things are called the Gate of Heaven and the Gate of Hell by the people in the central containment room."
"Since the two portals appeared, the Star God's condition has been very abnormal. Before the two portals appeared, the estimated time in the central containment room for the Star God to arrive on Terra was 2.27 million years After the two doors came out, it was directly reduced to 360,000 years later. According to the current situation, I think the people in the central containment room need to calculate the distance again."
"..." The secretary was silent. .
A deep sense of despair and emptiness arose in his heart.
He knew how powerful the Kingdom of Heaven was. When he was in the academy, he always thought that the Kingdom of Heaven was invincible and the most powerful in the entire world.
But as he graduated from both houses, so did he learn more about the enemies of heaven.
There was always a feeling of... powerlessness in his heart from time to time.
There is more than one enemy like that.
How can the Kingdom of Heaven resist?
How to win?
Yegor seemed to be aware of Molly's emotions. His eyes were still fixed on the screen, but his voice sounded low and powerful:
"You feel powerless."
Molly's His body shook slightly, and the loss in his eyes became more obvious.
"Yes, teacher..."
He called Yegor teacher again, but this time Yegor did not scold him.
At this time, Yegor just turned around, his eyes like cold blades, directed towards Mori, but the coldness contained a kind of burning heat.
"Molly, you should often hear the famous saying that old guy Fielden often quoted to his students; 'There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to still love after recognizing the truth of life. It. '
When he said that, he always said it to you. He and I or other old people in heaven know that the enemies we face may be stronger than we can imagine, and maybe they are more powerful than we can imagine. Power exceeds our understanding, but that doesn’t mean we should succumb to a sense of powerlessness.”
“The power of the Kingdom of Heaven lies not in our omnipotence, but in our ability to conquer whatever enemy we face. Never flinch. Every great battle in the kingdom of heaven is not because we have no fear, but because we still choose to move forward despite fear."
"Do you think the enemy is scary?"
"Yes, they are indeed scary, but it is precisely because of their strength that our struggle is more meaningful."
"Remember, victory will not come to us, we must go to victory ourselves. "
"The Kingdom of Heaven exists to contend with enemies that are difficult to defeat and to protect all that we hold dear. If you feel powerless at this moment, that is your true test. You can choose to be. Swallowed by a sense of powerlessness and becoming a prisoner of fear, you can also choose to stand up, face it, and defeat it."
"You have to understand one thing, the kingdom of heaven is not made up of undefeated warriors. We are composed of warriors who still stand up in defeat. We are not invincible, but we will keep fighting until victory belongs to us.”
The secretary lowered his head in shame, feeling guilty for his momentary timidity. Feel ashamed.
He quickly raised his head, his eyes gradually regaining their luster.
Egor turned his head with a cold expression, and his cold eyes flashed a rare warmth that Molly could not see.
But this warmth was soon covered again by coldness.
A line of red font was floating in front of him.
【Doomsday Scene·Double Moon! 】
[Resolution Assembly: You have been authorized to use the fifth house of the zodiac [Leon Palace] before the formation of the double moon, which affects Terra's tidal force, crustal stress, rotation, geomagnetic field and other related factors. , crush it! 】
[Eden: The Evangelion Legion’s projection authority has been opened——]
“Twin Moon Vision...” Yegor’s heart was full of terrifying murderous intent, and he was reading a book at the moment. Shared intelligence provided by Eden.
The reason why the Star God suddenly appeared from hiding is mentioned above - someone is pulling the Star God through some kind of [Miracle Creation].
Behind this, there is chaos adding fuel to the flames.
"If you try to use the Star God to prove the miracle, you don't have the life to enjoy this miracle."
The other side.
In a place full of snowy scenery, an ancient stone box lay tightly, engraved with complex curse patterns.
Its design is full of classical and mysterious atmosphere, which makes people feel ominous and oppressive.
Boom——
There seemed to be a huge gravitational force around the box, and this gravitational force took the box downwards and created a huge deep pit.
There was a popping sound coming from around the box. It was trembling crazily and spinning rapidly like dice.
At this moment, 2 hours and 56 minutes have passed since the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven was sealed.

The time is 24 hours forward.
Oaxaca Chichi.
For the believers of the Church of the Broken God, January 25, 1591 was destined to not be an ordinary day.
Today, the top leaders of the Orthodox Church held sacrifices for the legendary three holy sages here.
A few weeks before the sacrifice begins, pilgrims begin to pour in, and their destination will be the Sacred Arms Church located in the center of the Mechanical Parish.
In the twelfth century BC before the Glorious Era, the once prosperous empire of the Mechanicus collapsed amid internal and external troubles. The holy relics of the Broken God also disappeared into the long river of history along with the empire.
But believers still preserved the temples built by the Empire in other places in Oaxaca.
Since then, this church, which contains a large number of holy words, has been followed by various sects as the supreme holy place of the Church of the Broken God.
On January 25, 1591, the outside of the temple was crowded with pilgrims coming from all over the world. They believed in various sects: the Broken Church, the Gear Orthodoxy, or various religious beliefs that had sprung up after the Industrial Revolution. New sects emerged.
The few houses in the Mechanical Parish have already been rented, and pilgrims sleeping in the open can be seen everywhere.
Believers will take out their long-cherished gears, clocks and various mechanical items and trade them with other believers.
But those poor Orthodox believers may not be so lucky. They are penniless and have to remove the dense mechanical implants on their bodies in exchange for travel expenses on Weibo.
On the day of the sacrifice, the Orthodox priests took holy oil and came to the Holy Instrument Church to perform the anointing ceremony together with the priests of the Broken Church.
On this rare day, they did not fight or fight.
While the priests were holding a ceremony, a man in black robe suddenly appeared in the city.
Three hours later, when the believers contacted the priests and opened the temple door because the priests had not left the temple for a long time, they found...
The temple had already been filled with blood.
Three minutes after the incident, the three major knights of the Kingdom of Heaven marched straight in and attacked the city of Kirch.
Four hours after the incident, the editor of the Wandman newspaper: "Muhammad, the second sword-bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven, bloodbathed the Orthodox priests, and the three major knights captured the city of Kirch" became the headlines of the major genealogy forums in Terra.
Obviously, this is a long-planned military activity.
Some people say that this is the revenge of the Kingdom of Heaven for the seventy-two hours of crisis. Some people say that there is something hidden in the city of Kishi that makes the Kingdom of Heaven... fearful or heart-warming.
Some people discovered that on this day, there were special fluctuations in the institutions of the Kingdom of Heaven stationed across Terra.
Whether it is outside the starry sky, on land, or even in the ocean...
A large number of anomalies and angels are highly active on this day, but they are highly scattered.
It was as if something was deliberately guiding it.
