Chapter 260: 740,000 Miles Between the Earth and the Moon

Mikael looked at everything in front of him in ecstasy, watching the dim light and shadow slowly flow along with the fine dust and sand in the sound of "rustling".

He had the illusion that he had stopped again for hundreds of thousands of years or even longer, as if the world had gone through reincarnation every time he blinked.

He turned to look at Alicia. The power of consciousness could not interpret any of her thoughts, and Mikael could only see a blank.

He could do nothing but secretly hold her cold hand, letting her feel a touch of warmth in the eternal cold and loneliness.

Mikael turned to look at Mei again. Under the power of knowledge, every thought of Mei was presented to him, but she was answering every bit of her confusion at an alarming speed:

"Why is there the God's Key here?" - Because this is the place where humans will fight the final battle, and the warriors of the pre-civilization also used the God's Key to fight the final battle here.

"Why is there an unknown God's Key?" - Maybe it's a God's Key made of three Herrscher cores that haven't appeared yet.

"Why are there identical Keys of God?" - Those identical long swords should be the Tenth Herrscher mentioned by Mikael. Because there are a thousand individuals, the same number of Keys of God are left...

But there are multiple pieces of the rest of the God's Keys, such as the unknown cross, the Black Abyss White Flower, and the Heavenly Fire Holy Seal, so there is only one possibility - they are the same God's Keys from different eras. .

But why are there exactly the same God Keys in different eras? Even the power of the Herrscher has not changed much?

"There is also the 'I' who left the inscription 250,000 years ago, the Kevin and Prometheus mentioned in the inscription...and..."

She is not questioning the possibility of older civilizations, or even the existence of multiple such civilizations. But this is obviously contrary to the current archaeological results of the earth——

It's not that these civilizations didn't leave traces on the earth, which can be explained by the eventual destruction of everything.

But whether it was 250,000 years ago or 1.2 million years ago, there are complete traces of ape-man activities on the earth. This leads to the intersection of timelines. Could it be that the earth had both modern civilization and modern civilization at the same stage? Ape man? That's obviously impossible.

Moreover, the words on the inscription belong to the late Homo sapiens system, but where did late Homo sapiens come from 250,000 years ago?

She had already had her doubts, and she had vaguely grasped a thought, but it wasn't until she saw these divine keys with her own eyes that she could conclusively answer her doubts with an inference.

"Perhaps time does not flow forward in a straight line, but in a..."

Her thoughts were transformed into small bubbles by the power of consciousness, and now, the words in the bubbles changed and stayed on the word that Mikael also captured -

"Reincarnation."

But what's remarkable about Mei is that she didn't hesitate because of these thoughts, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she asked with a bit of expectation:

"Mikael, that cross and that Chinese-style long sword, can they be analyzed in advance?"

She had previously seen the tragedy of restraint in the future that Mikael told her. If Mikael could analyze the power of restraint in advance, there would be more ways and more possibilities to break the so-called restraint barrier.

After all, Mei has thought about it more than once these days. Even though she knew the solution in advance, she still couldn't come up with a better battle plan——

Even if we can skip the step of relying on a large number of sacrifices for reconnaissance to summarize the characteristics of the barrier, in order to break the barrier in the end, we still need to continuously fill in all the fusion warriors to create a blow for Kevin and Mikael. A sure-kill opportunity.

But if Mikael can master the power of restraint in advance, he will also deploy the restraint barrier, use the same power to neutralize the Herrscher's barrier, and finally the two will offset each other. In theory, this can be done.

However, can the God Key in front of him allow Mikael to analyze the power in advance? Even Mei herself didn't believe that she would have such good luck.

Sure enough, Mikael shook his head.

"I've just tried it, and the space in this place is not stable. No, it's more about time than space."

He motioned for Mei and Alicia to stand still, and he walked alone into the wilderness in front of him.

His footsteps left deep imprints on the dust and sand, leading all the way to a cross, which was the eleventh key to God and the oath of Judas.

Mikael stretched out his hand towards the shining core of the cross, continued to stretch his hand forward, and grasped the core position——

Not surprisingly, just like Mikael had tried countless times before, there was no feeling of holding anything in his palm.

It is also not surprising that whether it is from Mikael's sight or from the perspective of a third party, that is, from the perspective of Mei and Ellie, all the God Keys that originally existed here have disappeared.

Disappeared out of thin air, and even the depression in the sand surface that should have existed at its original location no longer existed.

Mei lowered her head to look for the footsteps that Mikael had walked along the way, but they also disappeared without a trace.

"Look, that's it. As soon as I try to get close to these divine keys, space and time will flow at the most critical moment."

"That's it..."

Mei shook her head regretfully.

But then Mikael's voice sounded in her mind:

"Don't worry. Regarding Herrscher of Restraint, I have already made several blueprints of combat plans and am just waiting for it to appear. Don't worry, we won't let such huge casualties happen."

The dim light distorted Mikael's smile a little, and he seemed to wink at Alicia.

"Okay, now I can only see these things. But I think, as a simple detection, the harvest is already quite a lot, right?"

Whether it is a "tangible" substance like soul steel, or an intangible thing like reincarnation, but a knowledge that is closer to the "truth" of the world, it is undoubtedly a huge gain.

Now that we have harvested enough, it is time to return to Earth, right?

Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head. Although she felt that she could hold on for a while, it seemed that Mikael would not allow it. What's more, she herself also understands her importance to mankind at this stage. At least for now, it is not the time for her to "risk herself".

But just when she wanted to respond, a dazzling light came from beside her. She turned her head in horror, only to see Ally pointing the pink arrow at Mikael.

"Alicia!"

There was no time to stop her, and Mei was powerless to stop her. The moment before her cry came out, the arrow was shot out and flew forward irreversibly.

There was also surprise in Mikael's eyes, but it was just surprise, and there was only a trace of it.

His reaction was half a minute slower, but it didn't matter. From his perspective, the arrow was not aimed at him, but whizzed past his ear and plunged into the dark ocean.

"Bang!"

There was a crisp sound in the darkness. It was the sound of the crystal arrow hitting a hard object and then bursting into countless fragments.

"Hey! Mikael, are you too careless?"

Ellie seemed to have finally escaped from that fugue state, and even noticed the abnormality earlier than Mikael.

But maybe, her wandering mind was actually exploring something.

"You protect Mei and leave the fighting to me."

He took half a step back with his right foot, turned around unhurriedly, and faced the darkness further away.

"Really, it's never my turn every time we fight!"

While saying the words of complaint, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his toes tapped the ground gently. The pink crystal fell from the sky and turned into a large bowl, and Mei and Ai Li were placed upside down in it.

"roar--"

Along with a low roar, a pair of blood-red eyes emerged from the darkness.

"Oh? Isn't it small in size? Emperor level... no, judgment level?"

In the blink of an eye, the Honkai energy that had been hiding itself with the help of the turbulence of time and space was sensed by Mikael, but this energy fluctuation happened to be stuck on the dividing line between the Emperor level and the Judgment level. According to the principle of leniency when predicting the enemy, , Mikael finally gave him a trial-level classification.

"roar--"

Honkaimon kept barking, looking very much like a dog that couldn't bite.

It was obviously frightened by the two Herrschers in front of it.

"Tsk!"

It is hidden in multiple times and spaces that are constantly reincarnating. In order to prevent accidents, Mikael originally wanted to lure it to attack and then find an opportunity to kill it with one strike, but unfortunately this Honkai Beast was too cautious.

"Although I have never won a bet...but because of this, I am lucky once in a while, right?"

Mikael prayed silently in his heart, but he had already reminded Ellie:

"Alicia, prepare to be sucked into the space turbulence!"

The next moment, golden light burst out. Even from Ellie's perspective, she could only see something leaving a long golden trail in the sky.

Honkaimon fell silent instantly.

"Is this... the end?"

Although I knew it would be easier for Mikael to deal with the Judgment-level Honkaimon, but to be so relaxed is somewhat exaggerated...

Not to mention Mei, even Alicia found it a bit incredible. But she was more sensitive to power. She failed to see Mikael's offensive clearly at the first time, but based on the few traces left in the space, she judged that Mikael probably combined the power of space and the power of consciousness. Together.

The Archon Spear is inherently difficult to defend against, and once it is hit, it will be strangled by the powerful space force, and there is no option other than death or serious injury on the spot.

And if coupled with the power of consciousness, the opponent's consciousness will be severely damaged at the same time as the hit...

This is almost an unsolvable surefire move.

Mikael stood there and waited for a moment. There was not even a sound of struggle in the darkness in front of him. To be on the safe side, he continued to let Alicia and Mei stay where they were while he went deeper into the direction covered by the turbulence of time and space.

His back quickly disappeared into the darkness, but he himself knew nothing and was unaware of it. He just felt the position of the Archon Spear he had just shot, and continued to move straight forward.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally felt something abnormal - except that the distance between him and the Archon Spear shortened a little at first, and then the distance between the two remained the same.

Every time he took a step forward, the position of Archon's Spear was delayed by one step.

Is Honkaimon still alive?

But this is impossible, the feedback of the hit is real, and Mikael is confident that the Judgment-level Honkai Beast cannot survive the blow just now.

What's more, he has been moving in a straight line. With his speed, it is not impossible to travel hundreds of kilometers in this time. Previous observations from the upper part of the crater showed that the widest part of the crater is only a little over 20 kilometers.

There is no tendency for the pit wall to be concave, which means that if everything was normal, Mikael would have hit the pit wall long ago.

It was like walking into a cave or something, but when I looked up, the light spot the size of an elm pod was still hanging above my head, unchanged.

Looking down and thinking, Mikael stopped unconsciously. When he stopped, he felt that the Spear of the Sub-Sky was not far away from him.

"Is that so? I'm really unlucky..."

If the Honkai Beast was still alive, it would probably be impossible to keep the same distance from him. After he stopped, it should move away quickly.

So there was only one possibility left - the space he was in had not changed from a certain moment to the end.

"Does the space here form a closed loop?"

Mikael's first reaction was to use the power of space to force a breakthrough, but this option was quickly abandoned for a simple reason - it couldn't be done.

"Hmm... Can't even the power of the Herrscher break it? No, the power of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast is not enough to construct a space that the power of the Sky cannot destroy. Is it the End..."

If it was the power of the Herrscher of the End that caused all this, then it would make sense.

But the End is a more "superior" power after all. As its "inferior" power of the Sky, can it really...

Of course it can!

If you don't even have the courage to face the turbulence of time and space left by the end of at least 50,000 years ago, then aren't you even worse than Padu?

There are no unsolvable problems in the world, but there are only a lack of solutions to them——

"No, a truly closed loop, the Mobius Ring cannot exist in three-dimensional reality. The space structure in front of you is just a ring, and the connection is just inconspicuous, but it does not mean that there are no flaws!

"What we need to do next... find this flaw, and then adjust the position of the Sub-Sky Spear to overlap it, and then open the flaw from the inside! ”

Thinking and doing, the power of space spread like water and fog, completely covering the entire ring-shaped space.

Under the exploration of the authority of the Herrscher, Mikael soon discovered that... the expected joint did not exist, at least he did not find it at the first time.

Could it be that the End really constructed the Mobius ring with the absolute power of time and space?

Mikael closed his eyes silently, his mind racing.

“No, if time still has the possibility of reincarnation and reversal, but that is also based on three-dimensional movement. Since the End can exist in the three-dimensional world, it must be impossible to break the laws of this dimension and build something that only the two-dimensional world can have, unless He turns the entire world into two-dimensional.

“The flaw must exist, but I have to be more careful and narrow the scope to focus on searching...”

Is it the place where the power of space is already weak?

No, if the flaw exists there, it will only be more obvious and easier for Mikael to notice.

The answer was obvious - just like a patch on a piece of clothing, it is because there is a flaw in one place that it needs to be reinforced there.

So the flaw must exist where the spatial force is most accumulated!

The dark red gears turned rapidly in his eyes. After determining the range, Mikael located the flaw in almost the blink of an eye -

"It's there!"

He turned into a blue light and moved forward, feeling that the position of the Sub-Sky Spear completely overlapped with the flaw in the ring-shaped space, and then -

A golden light suddenly flashed in the darkness.

"Boom!"

"What happened!"

The violent vibration made Mei almost unable to stand, and even Alicia beside her could only insert the flying flowers into the dust to keep her body stable.

She held Mei with one hand, and did not forget to explain the situation to her, but her tone was more like talking to herself than explaining:

"The golden light just now should be the product of activating the power of space. What happened? Did the previous attack fail to kill the Honkai beast?"

Although her face was full of worry, she always protected Mei - compared to acting rashly when she knew nothing about the battlefield situation, perhaps providing some insignificant help to Mikael, trusting him and protecting the unarmed Mei according to his instructions was obviously a more correct decision.

So, although a large amount of Honkai energy rushed towards the darkness, and finally swirled and entangled under the turbulence of time and space, interweaving into a huge blue-black energy ball, Alicia stood still, always guarding Mei, and constantly thickening the crystal barrier to isolate a large amount of Honkai energy from the outside.

"After all, this level of fighting is nothing to Mikael!"

But the next scene made her and Mei open their mouths and let out a "Ah--"

The blue-black energy ball quickly collapsed inward, from a huge monster with a diameter of more than 20 meters to a tiny blue light spot.

The extreme collapse must be followed by an extreme explosion, and the blue light was strong, but the explosion facing the surroundings did not happen-an invisible force formed a gun barrel, or a track, limiting the power of the energy ball explosion to only one direction.

So, this ball of energy, like the gunpowder that has been ignited in the flintlock, turned into a huge blue light column, shot out along the predetermined trajectory, and pushed the "lead" that was still unknown to the elm pod-sized light above her head.

"Mikael!"

Ellie couldn't stand it anymore. She even forgot that she had the ability to remove the crystal barrier. Of course, it was also possible that she didn't want to waste even 0.1 seconds.

She chose the most violent method - she smashed the crystal barrier with her shoulder and fist, and rushed towards the blue light column, leaving Mei, who was unable to stop her, standing there at a loss.

However, as if teasing her, when she reached out and touched the pillar of light, just like when Mikael tried to touch Judas's oath not long ago, her hand stretched forward without any hindrance, and originally covered the entire The pillar of light that completely illuminated the crater disappeared.

She turned around in a daze, surrounded by broken Divine Keys, and a clear trail that spread from Mei's position behind her to a Key of Restraint.

"Beep beep! beep beep!"

"Buzz buzz-"

In Mei's hand, Prometheus's mobile terminal emitted intensive and harsh beeps while vibrating violently.

The vibration came so suddenly that Mei couldn't hold on to the terminal and let it fall into the sand.

The three-dimensional projection of Prometheus appeared on its own without any instructions. Coupled with the previous double alarm sound, the meaning was very obvious - urgent!

"Doctor, there is a communication from the headquarters base..."

Before Prometheus could explain the situation, he was interrupted by Kevin who forcibly accessed the communication.

"Mei! Ah - you're okay...that's great, that's great..."

The moment he saw Mei, Kevin was so excited that a numbness suddenly spread from his fingertips to his heart, shoulders, and even his neck, so that he almost suffocated - even though he no longer needed to breathe.

The blood rushes to the brain urgently, and he feels that his head is extremely heavy. For a moment, he forgets what to say to Mei. He just pats his chest and keeps repeating "That's great..."

"Don't be anxious, tell me carefully, what happened?"

"It's...the moon...it's been detected that the moon has...a high concentration of Honkai energy reaction..."

"I know this, what next?"

"It's coming to Earth!"

Earth?

Mei and Alicia, who had hurried back, suddenly raised their heads when they heard this. This was the back side of the moon. Their heads should have been facing the deep universe, but through the elm-like hole, they could clearly see a star. A gray planet.

"It's too late to intercept. The planned landing point is: 142 degrees east longitude 11.5... It's... it's Atla! It's the Eye of the Abyss!"

"puff--"

"Gululu..."

An ordinary rifle bullet is shot into the water, but it can continue to move forward for less than one meter. But if the weight of the bullet is increased to the weight of an adult man, and the barrel is extended to a length of 384,000 kilometers, the bullet can travel at least 6,100 meters when it is shot into the water - Mikael Personal test.

Yes, although its essence is probably some kind of imaginary space jump technology, similar to phase shuttle, when the distance is stretched so far... In short, from the perspective of real numbers, Mikael did move in less than a minute. Completed the distance of 740,000 miles between the earth and the moon.

It wasn't until he groggyly choked on his water and smashed countless castle-like buildings along the way that he realized he was back on Earth. However, due to the influence of huge inertia, he felt that his... brain was still there. Moon.

The location is exactly the Eye of the Abyss, which has been away for a week, but now it has a new name - Atla, the underwater city that was accidentally dropped when the continent of Mu was involuted into the world bubble (that is, De... The ruins of Moana Kino.

Fortunately, no one can imagine living underwater.

Until he climbed up while holding on to the blue-pink wall, Mikael's head was still a little dizzy. There was gray dust floating in the sea water in front of him. With his size, he shouldn't be able to cause such a big damage...right?

He used ocean currents to sweep away the dust and discovered that half of Atla's buildings had been crushed, and the culprit was... the Honkai beast he had killed earlier.

"Like a skeleton? Tlaloc? It doesn't feel like..."

There was no time to pay more attention to the poor Honkai Beast. The seawater in front of him rippled. It was obviously the spatial fluctuation that he was all too familiar with.

As expected, a spatial rift opened there. He was about to say an awkward greeting, but unexpectedly he felt a... strange feeling of heat and cold...

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first——

"Sage of Heavenly Fire!"

"Kai Kai Kai Kevin, show mercy! It's me!"
