Chapter 439 Despair
A flash of light.
A wave of waves reverberated through the multidimensional space.
Invisible ripples spread out in all directions with Xiyiqi as the center.
A paradox disappears.
Duke Gil was sitting in the cockpit. When the wave oscillated, he saw through his sensor vision a pillar of white light rising into the sky from the Eternal Palace . The world was shaking in an instant.
This was a small noise on the established path. He couldn't help but murmur: "But even if it is a noise that no one remembers, it has a moment of brilliance."
…
…
The crisis was suddenly resolved.
"These sentinels are a little strange." Guard Captain Felice said.
The tide is turning.
Before their eyes, the sentinels that had been attacking fiercely suddenly stopped. They stopped devouring the surrounding matter and at the same time became somewhat listless and even began to retreat.
Although they had received help from the Mudin people, the front line led by the queen still suffered huge losses.
The sentinels suddenly stopped attacking. In the previous second, they were still frantically decomposing and devouring all the matter they touched. In the next second, they seemed weak and collapsed under the heavy bombardment, no longer condensing or repairing.
Weird, very weird.
The queen knew very well what the sentinels meant. But at this moment, this group of terrifying enemies that were enough to destroy Xiyiqi suddenly lost their will to fight. Could it be that there really was some miracle in the dark?
She knew that everything happened for a reason. But now she knew too little.
Too many mysteries, too many questions.
Do you know something, Alsiel... The queen glanced at the bunch of flowers on her breastplate. Now it was in tatters, with only a few petals left.
"It looks like Xiyiqi is going to be rescued." A voice came from behind her. It was Zhang Fei from the Ganus, one of the alien tourists who saved her by coincidence and acted with her.
His two brothers were horrified when they heard this. Guan Yu went up and covered Zhang Fei's mouth, "Third brother, stop talking!"
“It really seems like the sentinels have lost their aggressiveness,” Ms. Fee said.
"This is so strange." Yin Ran stared at the scanning screen in his hand, "Their signal is disappearing."
The communication projection flashed before everyone's eyes.
"Mother, those sentinels are suddenly vulnerable." Princess Alji's image flickered, but it could be seen that her face was full of joy. "Did we succeed in repelling them?"
"Don't let your guard down," the Queen said.
"yes!"
"Continue to clear all suspicious targets."
"Yes, sir!"
"For the Queen!! For Xiyiqi!"
"For the Endless Ocean! For Sadie!"
"Kill the Black Box Society!!"
The roar of artillery fire filled the sky.
The sentinels lost their ability to move.
This is what all the frontline soldiers see.
Many people regarded this reversal of the situation as a miracle brought about by the Queen's return. Their hearts were filled with joy and their blood was boiling. Some people even couldn't help but kneel down in the direction of the Queen and pray silently.
But there were also a few people who remained calm and full of doubts in this miracle.
Rites frowned, watching the images on the monitor. The outside world was in ruins, and the fortress's walls looked like squished butter. Most of the heavy artillery batteries had been completely destroyed, like flattened metal foil. More high-intensity weapons - laser turret arrays, plasma turrets, etc. had been dismantled by the sentinels. More infantry guards and heavy mechanical cavalry had disappeared.
They were already doomed to fail, but the sentinels on the opposite side suddenly turned into lambs with no power to fight back, and were defeated step by step.
What exactly happened?
Rites never believed in miracles beyond common sense.
Then he noticed a strange phenomenon.
The monitors did not show any life signals, nor did they identify any suspicious targets, but he could feel something sticky flowing and spreading among those weak-looking sentinels. He did not know what it was, it was floating mist, it was a white noise that was not of the normal frequency, it was a smell that could not distinguish information, it was a twisting ghost, it was a chemical reaction generated in the brain that could not be understood.
He was staring, he was sensing, and yet he seemed to feel nothing.
Is it because of the insanity caused by long-term battles? Or is there another reason?
Rites held the weapon at the door at his waist tightly.
He subconsciously looked at the queen.
Her Majesty's perception is far superior to his, and she must be able to detect abnormalities more keenly than him.
The queen suddenly said, "Retreat! Activate the protective shield!"
A piercing storm of static raged across the communications network.
In an instant, all the sentinels turned into black beasts.
The flash filled all surveillance screens and sensor fields of view.
The huge impact knocked Rites over. For a moment, he was dizzy and his limbs were broken. He opened his eyes with great effort. Blood splattered in the air. A guard in front of him had been torn in half.
There were screams everywhere.
Chitin fragments flew in front of his eyes.
The fortress wall in the monitor was dissolved directly. All the armored troops arranged behind the wall were gone. How many soldiers lost their lives in this instant? A trick, a trick that the black box would make us let down our guard.
He heard Liu Bei beside him muttering some dirty words that he couldn't understand.
The Queen's bitter but calm voice echoed in the channel, but at this moment it made people almost desperate, "Activate the shield! ! Activate the shield! ! Something has happened to the Sentinel."
The light spot was erased.
Liu Xingquan just felt his eyes getting hot. He wiped his face and looked at the world below him.
The moment the light spot disappeared, all the spots stopped spreading, just like the capillaries in the network reversed and contracted. The sentinel of the tide was receding.
"It was the big star who saved the world!" he shouted.
His voice spread in the void, as if a thousand mouths were repeating his words, "Save the world", "Save the world", "Save the world"...
The endless tide of sentinels stagnated.
However, this miraculous freeze only lasted a brief moment.
On this grey continent, some dark shadows suddenly overlapped and formed, like flowing, curling black ink. In the instant Liu Xingquan blinked, the black tide permeated everything.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xingquan murmured.
"The paradox was resolved, but the Necradrake infected the Sentinels," said Poncho.
Liu Xingquan asked: "What are you talking about?"
"Yan Zhu is a chess piece set up by the Black Box, a variable of probability, a sleight of hand to divert attention. The current route is still within the script it has set. It is the omniscient and omnipotent being at the moment. The erasure of the paradox has been calculated."
“…”
"As far as the ripples of the Paradox were concerned, the final defense resolution was activated. The Necradrake, the most successful virus created by the Forerunners, invaded the Think Tank's defense system at the moment the defense resolution was activated. Although there was only one outer key, it was enough for it to rewrite the root area of the security system tree. It infected the Sentinels and redefined their thinking neural units."
Liu Xingquan just felt that everything in front of his eyes was dark.
"you mean?"
“Every step is calculated.”
"Was the big star's sacrifice in vain?" Liu Xingquan said quietly.
"His sacrifice was not in vain. If Yan Zhu hadn't left, the world would still be an unstable bubble that would burst at the slightest poke. Now that he's gone, the world has returned to stability." Cape Kitten said, "But this world is about to fall into the clutches of the Necra Dragon."
Liu Xingquan clenched his fists, and he felt cold anger burning in his heart.
"We have Mr. Cat. Mr. Cat will definitely be able to defeat the Necralisk, right?"
Cape Kitten said: "I just felt it, my original form is gone."
"What did you say?!" Liu Xingquan asked, "What do you mean by gone?"
"It's just gone." The cloaked kitten raised his head, and there was no sadness in his voice. "I am the only lower branch left in this world."
"..." Liu Xingquan's eyes wandered helplessly.
Something must have gone wrong, he thought. Whether it was Mr. Air or Mr. Cat, they were both incomprehensibly powerful, high-dimensional beings that were almost like gods.
He personally observed those incredible actions of Mr. Air, and he also witnessed Mr. Air completely sealing the Necromancer when he was in a state of weakness. If he understood correctly, Mr. Cat was even more powerful and perfect, and he was invincible, so how could he lose to the Necromancer?
Something must have gone wrong .
Countless shining runes and diagrams appeared in front of the cloaked kitten, forming a rotating mathematical model. These models were connected to each other and performed calculations in unimaginable ways. Liu Xingquan took a few glances and despairingly determined that he was just a primitive ape who knew nothing .
The kitten told Liu Xingquan that over a long period of time, the black box would collect a large amount of intelligent life consciousness, and use these consciousnesses to encode through the mathematical model of thinking, and use a large number of distributed nodes to create a quantum computing program with amazing computing power. After waking up, the Necromancer has become entangled with this huge quantum computing program.
Now it is the master of trillions of souls, the omniscient and omnipotent cyber king, and it is the shadow that hangs over the world.
It can see through everything, calculate everything, and current developments are under its control.
Maybe Mr. Cat was the one who could have stopped it, but Mr. Cat is gone.
Liu Xingquan breathed in despair. No, we should still have a chance. We are definitely not at the end of our rope like we are now...
There must be some other way.
If it's Yan Zhen...
There was a rumble of thunder from overhead.
His heart was pounding.
A hole was torn in the void curtain, and black mist poured out from the crack. They roared like crazy laughter , and were as unstoppable as a tsunami.
A light flashed in the black fog, revealing a pair of malicious eyes.
Then a figure appeared.
"finally found you."
Liu Xingquan felt cold all over, and fear and anger overwhelmed him at the same time. He saw the outline of the person in front of him clearly, including the cold and greedy smile on his face.
"This time, there won't be any smart-assed guy to help you with ideas." The dark shadow opposite smiled sinisterly.
That was the enemy he and his best friend had faced together that summer a year ago.
He is a shadow driven by the Necradrake.
He was the forgotten nightmare.
Liu Xingquan whispered, "Neri Gabawa."
