Chapter 506 Swallowing Thunderclouds
night.
The sky was quickly covered by a curtain of darkness, the dead silence in the sky disappeared, and the celestial bodies and galaxies began to flow with time.
Only by looking up at the sky at night can you feel the passage of time.
The power city is brightly lit.
Even at this time, lightning would occasionally fall from the darkness above.
Each time it falls, it lights up the surrounding sky and emits a deafening roar of thunder.
Apparently, the residents here seem to have become accustomed to falling asleep to the sound of thunder at night.
The thunder will not affect the quality of sleep.
I heard that those people in the Power City who were supporting the World Scars were not able to sleep well without the thunder every night, so they voluntarily moved their resting places to the dormitories where the snoring was very loud.
However, in the Power City, the energy from the lightning that falls into the Lightning Tower is also supplied to the large and small light bulbs around the city.
These bulbs emit light under the supply of energy, illuminating the streets and some alleys, as well as the ports that are in operation all the time.
The Sound of Dawn, a strange and eye-catching ship, quietly docked in a corner of the harbor, just in the darkness where no light could reach.
At this time, Alka and others had already returned to the ship.
Not only Arka, but everyone else has also returned one after another. After all, the size of the Power Branch City is only that small. It is just a city that almost fills the entire island.
Apart from the city's structure, architectural style and interesting human geography, there is nothing special about it.
After the initial novelty, you will start to feel the boredom of this city.
On the deck, everyone was sitting casually.
Under their buttocks is a seat made of vines, and the specially made vines are extremely comfortable to lie on.
Although the places where people were lying and sitting were scattered all over the deck, the sound of talking could still be heard.
"What do you think about the Power City asking for our help?" Alka asked.
Just now while eating, he told everyone that the pastor of the Holy Machine Church had asked for their help.
Juanlu said: "We also met a councilor from the City of Power today. He took us to visit the Julei Tower and also asked for help from us."
After hearing this, everyone probably understood.
"It's very interesting, but the other party's attitude is indeed humble enough. To be honest, I am willing to provide help." Jason said.
Xiadaiti lay next to Alka, their seats joined together in the style of a recliner.
Looking up at the dark clouds in the middle of the night, they are already a little unclear, but if there is moonlight and starlight passing from behind them, you can slightly see the outline of the dark clouds.
"This matter is not that simple. If it is just a simple matter of dispelling the dark clouds, I don't believe that the Holy Machine Church does not have additional power to help."
After all, the City of Power is nominally a powerful city-state affiliated with the Holy Machine Church.
Moreover, whether it is the city’s atmosphere, construction or development, it is very much in line with the aesthetics of the Holy Machine Church.
To be honest, if you come here for the first time, you will think for a moment that this city was controlled and developed by the Holy Machine Church.
The similarity is too high.
"That's right, the elemental parameters here are wrong. The dark clouds above our heads are definitely not ordinary dark clouds." Simon said.
At this time, Lucilia, who was lying on Xia Deti's chest, said, "After leaving the church, I went to the city's record library on purpose. I learned about the situation in this city."
“The dark cloud above us was the reason why this city was founded, 630 years ago.
Of course, at that time it could only be considered a small village at best, and it was only after subsequent development that it became what it is today.
According to the above records, the dark cloud above the head appeared about 310 years ago, and it is said that it was built by the original builders. It is obviously a human-made thing, not a natural formation. "
After Lucilia finished speaking, Alka continued, "The problem is not the size of the dark cloud, but what is hidden in the dark cloud. The lightning elements gathered there have long since transformed into something even more outrageous."
"So what's your suggestion?"
"Of course I helped. I had to help because it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's still a good thing for me."
Alka said with a smile.
…
The next day dawned.
The eternal dead day sheds its sunlight.
This gives this steel city an old metallic luster.
Another flash of lightning struck, and the rumbling thunder seemed to herald the arrival of daylight.
Alka and his companions had already left the port, and this time they were directly invited to the town council.
A building about seven or eight meters high, this is where the city-state parliament is located.
I was led all the way to the top floor.
Push the door and enter.
In addition to the priest whom Alka and the others had seen before, there was also Fitz, who was acquainted with Juanlu and the others.
In addition, there were several members of parliament wearing clothes of various colors.
There are men and women, old and young.
Now it seems that Fitz is actually the youngest among them.
"You must be the members of the famous Compass Eye, right? Thank you for coming." The oldest old man, wearing a pair of metal-rimmed glasses, walked over with a cane, supported by the female councillor next to him, and said in an old and hoarse voice.
Alka nodded and said directly: "We are willing to provide assistance to your request and help you clear the dark cloud above your head."
Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but smile. Obviously, this dark cloud had been weighing on their heads for too long.
"Thank you very much. If there is anything we can do to help, please let me know."
Half of the top floor has skylights, and you can see the dark clouds above your head directly through the transparent glass, and the view is directly facing the tower that gathers lightning.
Alka walked over and looked at the tower and the dark clouds above his head that were still striking with lightning.
"This dark cloud is not an ordinary dark cloud. It has lightning elements gathered inside it and has formed a solid state. How did this thing form?" Alka asked.
Hearing this, the elder sighed.
Instead, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking elegant stepped forward and explained to everyone.
"The original builder of the city was a saint from the Holy Machine Church. He used his knowledge at the time to build this Lightning Tower and the dark cloud above his head. This also led to the subsequent prosperity of the Power City.
According to the remaining information, the dark cloud was formed by the builder through the means of element aggregation and the attraction of a strong energy element core.
It is for this reason that, after such a long time, we can no longer dispel the dark cloud and can only pray for external help. "
Although he didn't say anything clearly, Alka probably understood and nodded.
He said bluntly: "Let me be frank. There are already lightning elemental life forms in that dark cloud. To be honest, if you leave this dark cloud for dozens or hundreds of years, there will definitely be a colony of elemental life forms in it."
"Ah!" The elegant young man couldn't help but let out a sound in surprise.
He didn't realize the problem would be so serious.
I couldn't help but push the eyes on my nose and asked, "What should I do now?"
The lightning element is one of the most violent in elemental theory.
They are the kind of beings that even the signed contracts may backfire on the host to some extent, and violence is their nature.
Just like the Lava Elemental, destruction is in their nature.
If an elemental settlement really appeared, then their city would be marked as doomed, and the only solution would be escape.
"It's not that bad. It's just still gathering, and it hasn't really produced the lightning element."
"I'm here to ask for your help on behalf of this city." The old man walked over, bowed, and said solemnly.
Alka waved his hand and said, "No need to do that. This is not a difficult task for us, but we do need your help."
"First, evacuate everyone from the area 1 kilometer away from the Julei Tower.
It is also best to take away all valuables, because all the buildings in this area will no longer exist. For safety reasons, I advise you to evacuate 2 kilometers or even 3 kilometers away. "
"The consequences are just like I said. The central Lightning Tower will definitely not be saved. The surrounding buildings are also various energy pipelines and transmission routes. You'd better block and relocate them.
Once you have finished these, please inform us and we will be waiting at the port."
"Thank you, no problem. Just give us one day and we can do it." Feizhi stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, Alka looked at him in surprise and said, "Then your efficiency is really good."
After discussing some details, Alka and the others left.
Back on the Voice of Dawn.
When I came back, I could already see the whole city taking action.
Obviously, the parliament has much more control over the entire city than they thought. These residents are just complaining at most, and have not caused any resistance or protest movement.
It seems that the leadership of this city is not bad.
Back on the deck, Alka began to explain the process of the operation to everyone.
"I plan to use the small world to swallow up all the dark clouds and even the lightning elements inside in one go." When Alka said this, everyone showed an expression of "as expected" on their faces.
For this kind of problem, the small world annexation function is really useful.
After all, it's a desolate world inside, so you can create it at will.
"You are attracted by the thing that gathers the element of lightning in the dark clouds." Xia Daiti narrowed his eyes and looked at Alka and said with a smile.
"Haha, that's exactly what I mean."
"You think since there are already residents of the earth element in my small world, it wouldn't be a big deal if there were another thunder element, right?
To be honest, if I had the chance, I would like to gather a tribe of all the fire elements, water elements, ice elements, and wind elements into my world."
As Alka spoke, the six elemental cards floated out beside him, and his meaning was self-evident.
"It seems that your knowledge of elemental theory has reached a higher level?" Lucilia said while sitting on Alka's shoulder.
Alka nodded, but didn't explain anything.
As his attainments became more and more advanced and he explained it, people still couldn't quite understand what it meant. After all, everyone has their own expertise.
Just like when Simon was explaining his theories on materials and energy structure to everyone, no one understood him at all.
It's enough to understand Alka's general meaning.
"It's not that easy, is it?" Juanlu said.
If it was so easy, Alka would have eaten it on the spot and would not have asked them to evacuate some of the residents.
Alka nodded: “Yes, although that is what I said, it is after all an abnormally violent lightning element.
Opening up the space will definitely cause the lightning element to go wild. Although it has not yet fully aggregated to produce life, the lightning element in the dark cloud has already shown a certain degree of intelligence.
I will force them to swallow it up with the crack in space, which will definitely trigger their instinctive counterattack. But at that time, I will use the lightning element to control it and suppress its counterattack within a certain range. "
After all, this damn dark cloud has almost covered the entire city and even spread outside the island.
If he really lets down lightning recklessly, this city will be lost and the casualties will be unpredictable.
However, concentrating the attacks from such a large area into the center of 1 km is already Alka's limit.
He also had to use the lightning element to control and deal with the attacks of this element. After all, he would definitely be the biggest target at that time, so he needed the Lightning Tower there.
By then, he was going to eat the Lightning Tower into the space, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Urulius and said, “I will need your help then. When we are about to eat, use your ability to condense the dark clouds into a ball in the center. The smaller the better.
The lightning elements here are already accustomed to the dark clouds, and with my control over lightning attraction, the two of us can definitely shrink it to the smallest range with our combined efforts."
After thinking for a while, he said, "It would be better to let Jason merge with you at that time. This should make it easier."
After hearing this, the two nodded. This was no problem. After all, it was a dark cloud. At first, Urulius thought she would be solely responsible for dispelling it.
After discussion and sorting out the procedures, and conducting a more detailed survey of the dark clouds overhead, the next step was to wait for the operation across the city to be completed.
As a result, it didn't take a whole day. By midnight, everything that needed to be done had been completed. Alka and his team rested for a night and arrived at the central area early the next morning.
Almost all the important people came.
Residents can be seen gathered outside to watch, while the city’s security guards are trying to disperse and prevent those brave enough to go in.
It has been clearly stated that it is easy to be struck by lightning once entering, otherwise, no one knows how many people who are not afraid of death would drill in.
People have been dispersed 3 kilometers away, and all houses within 1 kilometer are basically completely vacant.
Alka observed that the transportation pipelines connected to the Ju Lei Tower below had almost been directly closed without any relocation or demolition.
Really decisive.
After preparation is almost complete.
Alka looked at the people behind him and said, "Let's get ready."
The words fell.
Arka Jason, Urulius and the other two drank the liquid in their hands together. This was the amplifying medicinal wine from Matlisa.
Julia then began to play and sing, blessing the three of them.
The three of them even ate a simple snack on the spot, which was cooked by Juanlu.
After one set, the benefits of the three people are basically maximized.
Urulius and Jason instantly merged into a giant dragon beast that appeared in the sky.
The residents outside and the surrounding parliamentarians couldn't help but exclaim.
Because the moment the dragon beast came out, the pressure from the life level made them feel a little breathless.
After all, this is just a small city-state, and the strongest person is only at the fifth stage.
Alka followed closely behind.
Lightning cards appeared directly around him, wrapping his whole body in lightning, and then Alka stood directly on the top of the Lightning Tower.
There was a flash of lightning in his eyes.
He raised his hands high and began to control it as best he could.
In the dark clouds, thunder and lightning began to spread continuously.
Until the energy of the lightning above Alka's head began to overflow, causing the entire cloud to begin to emit electric light.
Taking this opportunity, the huge dragon beast began to fly in circles, and one could see with the naked eye that the dark clouds were slowly shrinking towards the center.
The thunder element inside finally discovered something was wrong. How come the house was robbed?
“Boom!”
Lightning as thick as a column of water fell.
