Chapter 171 Meteor falls from the sky! The dragon is coming!
Abyss City.
Xiao En put on a black cloak, took out a gas mask and put it on, and walked out of the Devil's Tower in the Secret Area.
He needed to take a few steps to relax. The information he received today was too huge, far beyond his past cognition. Especially when he was studying the Great Prophecy Technique, some of the broken futures that Xiao En spied had a great impact on him. He finally understood why there were not many mages of the prophecy school in the Weird Country, because he wanted to If you study this thing and move the time of the prophecy a little further, it may be related to the indescribable past, and the final result will be to go crazy and die.
Take the crisis in the ringed city as an example. If you notice someone casting a prophecy spell, it will directly anchor three high-level existences, a fallen demigod of death - the Tomb King, and an awakened gloomy one. The God of Cold Bones, and a crazy wind elemental monster sealed in the Pot of Greed.
There is a certain law of cause and effect in prophecy spells. Based on all the current information, you can deduce countless possibilities in the future. Your own strength is not enough. It is best not to predict things that are related to god-level existences, otherwise it will attract their attention. You The end will be quite miserable.
If you want to use great prophecy to predict the future of the weird country, you will almost inevitably see many apocalyptic scenes. Even if your ability is strong enough, you can also see a certain moment in the future. The old pillars of awakening.
You see them, and they see you, even in prophecy.
Ms. Hecate and Eamon are both demigods who are good at prophecy, but they have never taught Xiao En any high-level prophecy spells.
However, the Time Dragons from the Time and Space Center are different from the Guardians of Time and Space. They are originally secret existences that spy on the timeline, especially for timelines that may occur in the future. They will try their best to find the best among countless possibilities. A hopeful possibility.
Therefore, the guardian of time and space taught Xiao En a nine-ring great prophecy technique - 'predicting the future'. Xiao En just looked at it and got a glimpse of a terrible disaster that might happen a few years later.
The Time Dragon told him that with ten years as a time span, if he used the Great Prophecy at any point in time, he would see a desperate scene of doomsday. Just like the broken plane of the catastrophic setting sun, in a certain period of time, for hundreds of years, anyone who casts a prophecy spell will see the world gradually heading towards destruction.
This kind of visible end of the world even drove some ancient sorcerers crazy. (PS: Spellcasters in the catastrophic setting sun plane extract the life force of the entire planet to cast spells. It is also a country where ancient evil things are rampant. There is also a country where primordial vampires extinguish the sun, called Dark Sky, which is considered the most powerful place for DND crystal wall vampires. The powerful Tianyu. )
And in the weird country, if you try to predict what will happen decades later, you will almost inevitably glimpse the awakening of the past, and the gradual fragmentation and destruction of the entire world.
Put it another way.
You are a prophecy mage in the plane of Faerûn. You want to peek into the future. As long as you cast a spell, the anchored future will point to the god of murder - Cyric, the god of tyranny - Bane, the goddess of the night - Shar, etc. existence, they either want to destroy the world, or they are going to fight and destroy the main material plane with holes.
Every prophecy master sees the future differently. In the great prophecy technique performed by Xiao En, he saw the entire planet being torn into two halves.
The scene is like cutting an egg.
A round egg, cut in half from the middle, the yolk inside, which is the core of the planet, has been riddled with holes like flesh-and-blood worms. However, in the final scene of Xiao En peeking into the future, he did not see the world being completely destroyed and the entire planet turned into dust.
Because the remaining half of the planet continues to rotate. Yes, half of the planet still exists, and the atmosphere of Holy Terra is intact.
The last scene Xiao En saw was of the more distant future.
He saw thousands of interstellar battleships, which were continuously delivering supplies. Many of these resources came from other planets and elemental planes. Millions of spellcasters were constantly repairing these resources. It was as if they were performing the most spectacular surgical operation on it, and on the other half of the planet that was removed, they ignited the 'eternal fire' from the fire elemental plane, and burned the matter from the earth elemental plane. Turned into the core of the earth, the outer layer is connected to the element channel, and countless steel fortresses are built on the surface. Each majestic steel fortress stands on the surface of the planet.
Xiao En saw that half of the lost planet of Holy Terra was connected in outer space. Countless interstellar battleships and floating cities dragged a huge metal shell, installed as if it were a mechanical prosthetic limb. On the broken body of this planet.
Half is the original planet, and half is a space fortress made of steel.
Xiao En didn’t know if this was a prophecy of the end of the world, after all, the entire planet was shattered, but the future he saw using the Great Prophecy seemed to be different from everyone else’s.
"This is why we took the initiative to find you."
The whisper of the time dragon sounded: "In all future timelines we predict, your existence will interfere with the causal laws of other timelines."
“The fate and luck of Eamon have been transferred to you.”
There has always been a saying about the son of the plane. There are many characters with luck in history. For example, Elminster, Cyric, Vecna, etc. Although it is not said that all great figures rely on luck to rise, there is no doubt that people with luck are more likely to stand up. There are only a very small number of people in the crystal wall system who can rise without any luck. Such existences are often Very powerful. If your strength reaches a certain level, luck will automatically come to you.
To put it even more unpleasantly, when you are strong enough, misfortune will not dare to come to you, but will only dare to find your enemies.
This is why many people pray to Goddess of Luck for her favor while secretly calling her a lucky bitch.
“Before Sigil City opens the door to a distant country, we can’t give you much help.”
The guardian of time and space said slowly: “We don’t have the ability. Interfering with Ms. Pain’s decision, I can only wait for the opportunity secretly, but before that, there is no problem in providing you with a little help.”
“Soon, there will be a time dragon. Pass through the phlogiston sea and enter the crystal wall system of the distant universe, and he will take the initiative to find you when the time comes."
Xiao En's figure walked out of the secret area.
Because of the awakening of the swamp master Mondor, the entire weird country is shrouded in a faint poisonous fog, which is most serious at dawn and dusk. Many pedestrians on the road wear gas masks. It is a small strange object that can Increases resistance to toxins. Those who do not wear gas masks are basically extraordinary beings who have transformed into non-human races. For example, demons, demons, and purgatory creatures do not need to worry about poison gas. Snake-men and lizard-men have high toxin resistance, and dwarves with strong physiques also No big problem.
The poisonous gas of the Swamp Lord has been dispersed throughout the planet and has been diluted a lot, but if he is not eliminated for a day, mortals will not be able to set foot in the weird kingdom.
“Now the composition of the atmosphere in the material plane is almost the same as that of Pandora. A mortal will die suddenly if he breathes the air for at most ten minutes.”
Abyss City is under the protection of the Mystery Lock. The problem It's not particularly serious.
Even after Eamon left, the progress of the crusade against the swamp master was delayed. Before Ms. Hecate took action, Xiao En really couldn't think of anyone who would take the initiative to challenge the old one.
Phantom Corner Alley.
This is the thieves area of Abyss City. The active people are mainly rogues. From demons to humans, there are all kinds of races. Occasionally, you can see snake people. In order to adapt to the harsh environment of the weird country, extraordinary people All the survival talents in the environment are maxed out.
It is normal to stop being a human being. It is strange that you are still a human being.
Xiao En pushed open a secret door and entered the underground passage. In front of him was a cunning little devil. It may not have been transformed from a human, because Eamon had already tried to transform fresh souls into devil form. .
Such a demon may be the soul of the deceased that has been transformed in the blood pool.
Eamon has tried many times to open the evolutionary gene tree of the tanar'ri demon, which means that it started to transform from a soul worm into a demon.
Xiao En entered the underground network of Abyss City expressionlessly. After turning a corner and entering a dark hall, he said to the male dark elf in front of him: "Intelligence trading."
"I need all the locations where the Pillar of Flesh is active within a thousand kilometers around Abyss City."
Behind the counter was a tall and thin dark elf. His lazy eyes glanced at Xiao En, his expression instantly Solemnly, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Okay. I'll be fine soon."
One minute later.
The dark elf took out a map drawn by adventurers, from the surface world to the underground world. It couldn't be more detailed. Abyss City has been actively developing outside these years. He handed it over respectfully and said: "Sir, this is what you need. The map.”
The invisible hand took it.
Xiao En raised his head and said: "How much?"
The dark elf looked a little stunned, shook his head and said: "No need, Sir Xiao En."
He knew himself .
Xiao En nodded lightly, put away his things, turned around and left.
Before leaving, the tall and thin dark elf whispered: "If you need manpower, you can inform us at any time."
"We are one of the shadow guards affiliated with Abyss City ."
People of the Seven Evil Guards.
I just don’t know who their leader is.
Xiao En nodded to show his understanding and turned around to leave the Thieves Area. There are still many forces loyal to Amon in Abyss City. These people's camp is biased towards Xiao En, but it may take some time to completely conquer them.
When returning to the Devil's Tower, Xiao En noticed that there were very few dead people on the street and almost no undead activity.
“The teacher doesn’t care about Abyss City.”
Xiao En frowned slightly and said secretly: “She only controls Abyss City in name only and has fully taken over the Mysterious Lock Zone, but Other areas are not involved at all.”
Ms. Hecate’s behavior feels like she is taking charge of Abyss City.
Everything here is business as usual.
Under Ms. Hecate, there are still seven evil guards who command many forces. However, one of the seven evil guards died, leaving a large area with a vacancy in power.
Xiao En wiped the Ring of the Witch King on his hand.
If Ms. Hecate has no intention of wasting too much energy in Abyss City, he may take over everything in Abyss City. After all, he has Eamon's real name and holds one of the seven Witch King's Rings. . Astrology platform.
Xiao En closed his eyes and meditated, gradually sealing up all the pictures he saw through the prophecy technique. Those pictures made his mind turbulent, and he stored this memory in the deepest part of his brain. This way he won't inadvertently recall those indescribable old days.
The hub of time and space, the time dragon, and the powerful guardians of time and space.
As far as Xiao En knows, all the guardians of time and space are strong in spellcasting. They are selected from many crystal wall systems for promotion. They are currently trying to find ways to win over a star world leader named Demon Duncan. Mage, but unfortunately that guy is nowhere to be found, and he also has an artifact key that can cross the crystal wall passage, so it is difficult for even the Time Dragon and the Guardians of Time and Space to find him.
There are rumors that Demon-Duncan has gone to Earth and Tianyu, but no one knows whether it is true or not.
There is more than one place in the multiverse called Earth. Unfortunately, it is not the Earth that Xiao En knows, it is just an existence with the same name.
The Time Dragon has been tracking his traces. It is known that the crystal wall systems he has explored include the Savage Sky, the Stars Sky, the Hero Sky, the Fairy Sky, the Calamity Kingdom, etc. This guy has been wandering around the multiverse for hundreds of years. I don't know what I'm looking for.
The feeling given to Xiao En when he came into contact with the Guardian of Time and Space this time is hard to describe. If we use the metaphor in the game, he is a well-known high-level mage in the Eastern Kingdom or Goldsmith Town, and he is still exploring Azer. The continent of Rath has just finished fighting the raging monsters and came into contact with a clue of the ancient gods. The guardians of time and space, like Medivh, have begun to explore the entire interstellar universe, and have even visited many worlds destroyed by the Burning Legion. The distance between them is also one Dalaran.
The level of concern of the Star Mage has exceeded the imagination of ordinary spellcasters, and roaming other galaxies is just an ordinary day for them.
According to the Time Dragon, the minimum threshold for promotion to the Guardian of Time and Space is spellcasting level 35. To have the strength to suppress ancient hatred alone, you must at least be able to defeat an adult Time Dragon.
The Center of Time and Space only serves the Lord of Time. Even the Pantheon that believes in gods is only on the same level as them. Because the Lord of Time has disappeared for tens of thousands of years, they have no superiors.
This organization is as old as the Pantheon.
Usually a small group of time dragons, working with a time and space guardian, to monitor the situation of multiple crystal wall systems. They do not interfere in the disputes between the gods and believe in the gods, and only target ancient hatred and those who may come from Threats from other universes.
The distant universe where the Weird Kingdom is located is one of the biggest threats they say.
"Eamon still succeeded."
Xiao En stood up slowly, and when he raised his hand, the crystal ball on the table automatically floated in front of him, reflecting some prophetic images on it, wasn't it? The future, but the past, is what has happened. Xiao En does not intend to peek into the future because the future is full of variables, but he can use prophecy magic to peek into the past and gain more information.
"The strong men of other crystal wall universes have noticed this place."
"The Center of Space and Time has paid attention to the distant universe."
"What about the Pantheon?"
" Can those high-ranking gods perceive the threat of another universe? "
"As long as Sigil City opens the door."
"The first batch of divine ascendants will soon enter this universe."
Most of the known divine ascendants in the multiverse are legendary powerhouses with a transcendent level of 30 or above. It's said that they can kill each other through the bottomless abyss, but there should be no problem in going to the lower plane to stir up chaos. These gods are not peaceful masters. As soon as they arrive in the weird country, they will immediately go on a killing spree.
“Has Eamon arrived at Sigil City?”
Xiao En looked at the countless stars in the sky and murmured: “What will happen to this world after Sigil City opens its doors? What kind of change?”
Meeting stars streaked across the sky.
Xiao En looked up in shock. He didn't know when a meteor shower actually fell under the distant starry sky. Arcs of light streaked through the clouds. When he held the crystal ball in his hand, with the blessing of the prophecy spell, some blur appeared on the crystal ball. In the picture, you can vaguely see the outline of a human figure.
Shaun's prophecy spell cannot anchor them.
“No!”
“It’s not just humans! There are other things!”
Xiao En stood up in shock, and his figure flashed in an instant, appearing hundreds of meters away In mid-air, he saw some oval-shaped eggs, covered with hard scales, with different colors on their surfaces, red, blue, green, and black. Eggs of ten colors turned into meteors and fell down.
"Dragon egg?!" Xiao En's expression was a little uncertain.
However, in the legend, the original dragon fell from space, and countless dragon eggs fell to the material plane along with the meteorites, eventually evolving into a multiverse dragon race.
Now, among the meteors in the sky, he saw dragon eggs falling like meteorites.
These dragon eggs are very large.
Xiao En has never seen such a large dragon egg in any arcane book, and this scene has not appeared in any prophecy spells. This means that what is happening in front of him is not at all in the future that prophecy can peek into. Among them, there is an unpredictable existence that interferes with all this.
"Tiamat, the Queen of Five Colors?"
"Platinum Dragon God-Bahamut?"
"No."
"They are simply impossible If they work together to break the laws of space, they will most likely fight."
Xiao En looked solemn and murmured: "Nine-faced Dragon God-Io?"
"Are these dragon eggs from the space dragons of the ancient gods?"
Legend has it that the first dragon eggs were bred in the wilderness (space), and the nine-faced dragon god sprinkled them across the multiverse. There are traces of dragon group activities in the crystal wall system. These dragon eggs were definitely not bred from ordinary dragons. Regular dragon eggs would not be able to withstand such a terrible impact.
Would you like to grab one?
Xiao En's figure flew out in an instant, chasing the meteors streaking across the sky. This sudden meteor shower most likely means that Eamon has opened the door in Sigil City. The Law of Pathways.
He saw a stunned necromancer on the opposite spire. He was standing in front of the astrologer, seemingly studying astrological spells, because the light curtain on the astrologer reflected the phases of the stars.
But none of these astrology masters seemed to have predicted the appearance of this meteor shower.
The necromancer looked like a half-dead mummy. His figure also rose into the air, and he chased after him and said: "Your Excellency Xiao En. Wait a minute."
"The incident happened suddenly. Why don't you and I work together?"
Xiao En's figure stopped in mid-air and turned to look at the undead wizard who turned into a streak of black smoke and chased after him.
He is holding a white bone staff forged from the spine. The inside of the dark robe is a dark golden blood. He wears the Lich Ring and the Amulet of the Undead on his fingers. Sealed like a shroud, he nodded slightly and said: "The path of death, chief disciple. Sandro."
Xiao En was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and he immediately felt that this guy must be a very powerful necromancer.
Sandro summoned two skeletal horses that could gallop in the air, and the faint soul fire shone. These were undead creatures specially resurrected. The remains should be the legendary Pegasus. Because of the wings of bones, he He said in a deep voice: "Save mana, I'm afraid this movement has alarmed many people."
Xiao En pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Then let's act together."
Countless meteorites transformed into Meteors fell to the earth, and colorful and huge dragon eggs were mixed among them. They were extremely hard, and some even showed signs of hatching under the high temperature.
These dragon eggs are definitely the work of a certain god from the dragon god system, because it is impossible for other existences to have so many dragon eggs.
All prophetic spells began to fail.
More and more unpredictable beings are beginning to interfere with the fate of this crazy country.
………………
(——Io, the Nine-faced Dragon God, the Dragon of Harmony, the Eternal Wheel, whose supremely glorious form exists in all realms and He is content to move silently among the crystal walls, through the ether and the debris of the world.
