Chapter 241 The God of Nature

It's not easy to live.

A magical fortress left in a different space, cut off from the outside world, and has no resources to sustain long-term survival inside. The storm caused by the magic tide destroyed the stasis hall and its supporting facilities. , and in the only remaining structure of the fortress, Carmel and his fellow Wardens had to plan carefully for the days ahead.

"We are participants in the 'Ghost' experiment, everyone has undergone the final stage of mutation transformation, which allows us to survive longer than ordinary humans, but lack of supplies is still a big problem. We firmly believe that the situation will have For the better, all problems will be solved one day, but first we have to live to that day - under the leadership of the Great Magister, everyone starts to save every resource and start to repair the remaining facilities in the fortress."

Carmel took Gawain and his party through a series of abandoned areas, which are close to the existing edge of the "fortress". The magic tide has destroyed many things in this area. The fragmented rooms and corridors are the most common sights here. But with a powerful magical barrier still in play, these areas are not yet unviable.

"We first restored the supply of magical energy - this fortress built in a different space has its own energy circulation system, we can directly draw energy from the external environment to maintain the operation here, and then we repaired most of the damage The interior walls and barriers to prevent the infiltration of dangerous Chaos magic energy, and finally we began to try to restart the magic door to the outside world... Attempts in this regard have failed.

"The magic tide changed the working mechanism of Might and Magic. It was not damaged, but it could not be activated. We transferred the energy of half of the fortress to Might and Magic, but it couldn't even open a small crack. In the process of continuous experimentation and research, we have less and less materials, and the health of each member has also begun to deteriorate.

"The magic tide is not completely unaffected by us. In fact, its influence is ubiquitous and subtle. As time goes by, everyone's body begins to have problems. It turns out that the transformation of 'God's Sin' cannot make us survive forever. Claude Pilling was the first to die, a rapid illness left him in the laboratory, followed by the eldest son of the Pardini family...

"Some people died in accidents. The Colden brothers and sisters were knocked off the platform by a boulder floating in space when they were trying to repair the barrier, and Shirod was killed when repairing the magic focuser. Our number has been decreasing, but we can't see the hope of leaving here for a long time - even if we can release a mage's eye,

It's good to take a look at the situation in the outside world, but unfortunately, the door is closed and can't be opened at all. "

Heidi's eyes were sad: "Then... everyone died..."

"Humans are fragile creatures, both physically and mentally," Kamel sighed with a vibrato of energy, "We failed to maintain order to the end, and in the last few decades, we had a very bad Serious...chaos, heavy pressure shattered everyone's hopes, and the Great Magister was unable to maintain it any longer, and right here, most of the people got...'liberation'."

Carmel took Gawain to a very open place. It seemed that it used to be a party hall, but the half of its extension had been completely broken. The floor, walls, and roof fragments were all messy floating in the dark space, and An energy barrier shrouded the fragmented dividing line.

There are traces of destruction by powerful spells everywhere.

"After everything was over, the survivors who calmed down realized what a stupid thing they had done. However, everything was irreversible. There were only a dozen people left alive, and none of them would survive for long."

"We quietly accepted our ending. In the end, we finally retained the last dignity of being an imperial magister."

Gawain looked at Carmel's body full of energy: "Then how did you become like this?"

Carmel was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I am the last one - I can't tell if it's lucky or unfortunate. The 'God's Sin' transformation I carried out on myself was exceptionally successful, and I became the healthiest and longest-lived one here. After everyone died, I didn't show any signs of weakening.

"I spent more than a dozen years in a hurry, and during this time, I placed the remains of all my colleagues, as you can see, and let them sit there as if they were still alive... I feel myself Crazy, maybe, but I also don't remember what a normal human mind should look like. Then I wandered around this empty fort for a few more years, continuing my work - inspecting the ancient equipment, inventorying the warehouses things, observe the changes in the external environment, keep records, occasionally do some experiments, occasionally talk to myself, and occasionally talk to those people sitting in the hall...

"But I'm not dead, my end of life seems like a long way off, and in the process, I'm seeing my own mental state getting worse.

"So, I decided to take my own life early - by a method of my own choosing."

"What method did you choose?" Tyre looked at Carmel curiously, "What method would make you... like this?"

"As I said before, this is the place where the white star fell. The god of nature fell in this place three thousand years ago, and this entire 'disobedience' fortress was built with the 'white star' as the core and foundation. This place has paid the price of my life, so I have decided to end my life with 'Him'—"

Carmel stopped, and a partition wall painted with runes and cast of some unknown metal blocked the eyes of everyone. As Carmel released some kind of spell, the runes on the partition wall were activated. Array, this heavy metal wall immediately began to vibrate, and as the runes on it lit up one by one, it rose slowly and solemnly in front of everyone.

There is a layer of translucent energy barrier outside the partition wall, and through that layer of energy barrier, the real situation outside this facility finally appeared in front of Gawain's eyes.

This is indeed not the Shadow Realm - but it is a place that is even more bizarre and chaotic than the Shadow Realm. Countless fragmented boulders float in the dark and deep space. These densely packed floating stones constitute the boundless space in this space. The "earth", and above this shattered earth is hovering a chaotic cloud that will never dissipate, and strange dark lightnings are silently raging in the sky, and in the chaotic cloud outlines various An indescribable and terrifying illusion, and in this chaotic world, there is something that deeply attracts everyone's attention.

It was a huge white giant deer like a hill. He floated between the broken boulder floating islands, countless thick chains bound his limbs, and a hazy white brilliance enveloped him. On the body of Julu, you can also see many broken metal and crystal wreckage floating in the air. Those huge metal wreckages have been seriously distorted and deformed, and their shapes are so strange that Hetty can't imagine their original appearance and appearance. What was the function, but Gawain vaguely felt that those huge metal wrecks were put together like some kind of flying device - they had a tail structure like a thruster, and extended bones like a weapon pylon. The structure is completely incomprehensible to today's Loren 6 humans!

And more importantly - the texture of those metals and crystals is like eternal slate!

Gawain felt his heart pounding, and he heard Carmel's voice coming from the side: "Look, this is the fallen white star, the god of nature that the Druids once worshiped - the giant deer Amorn! "

"God of nature!" Heidi finally couldn't help exclaiming at this moment, "My God!!"

"Don't worry, the 'barrier' will protect your minds," Kamel seemed to think that Heidi was worried about the consequences of facing the gods, so he raised his finger and pointed to the hazy energy barrier outside the metal partition wall, "This layer The barrier is the most valuable result we have found from the wreckage around the corpse of the gods. We simulated the energy fluctuations of the wreckage, and found that the magic of the same frequency can offset the damage of the power of the gods to the minds of mortals. As long as the barrier is still there, you are safe."

Gawain looked at the translucent energy barrier with shock, and through the barrier, he looked at the metal wreckage around the corpse of "Julu Amoen". He never thought that he would come into contact with the secrets of the gods so quickly. , came into contact with the relics of those "Godslayers", and when all this was truly presented in front of his eyes, in his heart, apart from accidents, there was only a shock from the bottom of his heart——

This is where the gods fell, this is the fallen god, this is the "weapon" that killed the god...

Those who built that weapon have left, but their creations remain here, and the "monitoring satellites" they left in this world are still in operation today.

Gawain retracted his gaze and looked at Carmel who was not far away: "So, is it the power of the gods that made you like this?"

"I still can't be sure whether my thoughts have been influenced by the gods at that time. Although there is this barrier, I have lived with the dead bodies of gods here for hundreds of years, and my mind can't be completely normal. "Kamel said with a self-deprecating expression, "I opened the gate and entered that unprotected space, without any protective gear and without any shielding spells, I walked to the giant deer and directed his energy to the Inside myself, hoping to kill myself this way—then the energy exploded, and my body was torn apart in the shock of divine power, and finally... became like this."

"You've become an energy creature, and you can't die anymore," Gawain wiped away Tyr's saliva beside him, and looked up at Carmel, who had been transformed into a life form, "How many years have passed since then? "

"I can't remember, after the life form was transformed, my memory was in a state of intermittent," Kamel said helplessly, and raised a finger to the armor plate on his chest, "I carved these on myself. , just to remind myself to prevent myself from becoming an unconscious monster, but if I didn’t meet you all of a sudden, I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before I become an unconscious monster…”

"When we first met, you questioned whether we were real," Hetty remembered what happened at the beginning, "what does that mean?"

"You know, before you appeared, I had 'seen' a living person appeared in front of my eyes at least seven times," Kamal's voice was full of bitterness, "I saw someone found this dusty and forgotten fortress, I saw someone open the magic door, and I saw those colleagues who were evacuated back to this place, they came to pick me up and told me that the mission was over... I was hallucinating, hallucinations again and again, at first I I thought something was wrong with my own spirit, but then I found out that it was the power of the gods that was constantly affecting me - its power would occasionally seep through the barrier and create all kinds of hallucinations in front of my eyes, so I only saw you after seeing you. I will doubt whether you are a phantom, whether there is a problem with the barrier again..."

Gawain finally figured out what happened to Carmel's strange behavior in the first place. He looked at the ancient magus before him with emotion, and felt that the other's mind could be maintained to this day - despite his own "historical history". "It is countless times older than Carmel, but he knows that it is because his life form has been mutated from the very beginning, and the person in front of him... He persisted as a human for hundreds of years before his life form was transformed. !

After a long silence, he gently sighed: "Don't worry, we are real."
