American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

"Can't stop it."

The metallic sound's answer chilled the blond man's newly excited heart, but the next moment, the metallic sound's addition restored some of his blood color.

"But it can be delayed."

"The seed of nightmare is closely related to a certain power of the Lord, and is the product of this power. If you cannot break through a certain limit, you cannot get rid of its influence.

This is the price for harnessing the power of the Nightmare Seed! It is a price that cannot be stopped or avoided!

The only thing I can do to help you is to delay the arrival of this disaster. and mitigate this cost as much as possible. As long as you can carefully maintain a balance with it and not break it, then you will have relatively plenty of time.

Of course, you can also shelve it. But this is just a luxury. I don’t think those researchers can resist the temptation of nightmare seeds, and the characteristic of nightmare seeds is that once they capture this thirst for knowledge and mystery, they will spontaneously integrate and influence. This process is irreversible. Unless it is completely bound and sealed. "

The metallic sound made the blond man's emotions fluctuate, but soon he forced himself not to think about the problems that were troubling him.

These issues should be left to the empire's senior officials and top researchers to discuss and determine. What he can and must do is to bring back this nightmare seed that has been recorded in his information library. Whether it's him, his sister, or a servant, they all play the role of tool in this mission.

They can't decide anything.

And the tasks they can do have been planned and set before. Their autonomy is limited to the circle in which they accomplish their tasks. After returning, they still need to semi-publicly upload the information about this experience in their memory database.

"You are very smart." The metallic voice captured the blond man's psychological fluctuations almost instantly, and there seemed to be a bit more smile in the rigid voice.

"Why are you telling me this? I'm even a little doubtful now. You gave us the coordinates of this universe, and used various information to subtly guide us on this journey at all costs, not to repair your own. The body, but wants us to bring back the nightmare seeds here." The blond man looked at the warehouse door that was easily cracked and then opened, and said softly with a complicated mood.

"You're very perceptive." The metallic voice answered, making the blond man's face turn a bit paler in an instant. This answer almost confirmed the blond man's suspicion.

"Don't be nervous, your mood swings are so obvious that it makes me a little uncomfortable." The metallic voice reminded.

"I have no ill will towards you, and I can still say that now. I am just trying my best to meet your wishes and requirements. If you don't want to be a substitute for civilization, but you also want to improve your civilization quickly and almost explosively. With the accumulation of level and knowledge, the Nightmare Seed is the most suitable for you."

"You said you could help us delay and reduce the costs associated with using it?" The blond man entered the warehouse and glanced at the items neatly arranged on both sides.

"The altar of knowledge/truth. A device that replaces life and becomes the host, or the center."

"It sounds a bit like the naming style of the Magic Empire that plays with energy and mysterious civilizations."

"It does involve some knowledge systems and power applications in that area." "What is its role?"

"As an alternative host, I will bear the cost of life loss for you. Within the scope covered by the operation of the altar, you can obtain bonuses in inspiration and wisdom."

"What's the price? Since it's an altar, what do we need to give as a sacrifice?"

"emotion!"

"emotion?"

"Yes, the spark of life and the fluctuation of emotions will automatically collect a kind of energy with supporting facilities, and this spiritual and emotional power can be used as a sacrifice and become the energy source for the smooth operation of the knowledge/truth altar. You guys How much energy is collected can make the altar function accordingly."

"Sounds like a good deal." The blond man pondered for a moment, making a judgment in his mind. He knew that there must be some unknown hidden dangers, but this transformation of spreading individual burdens to group responsibilities undoubtedly alleviated those so-called losses and burdens. Compared with life, the price of emotion is not heavy. And those top researchers do not need to sacrifice their lives to obtain inspiration in pursuit of knowledge and the future.

"Where are the hidden dangers?" the blond man asked bluntly.

"Except for some chaos and the emergence of extreme people, there are no hidden dangers. At least until the final day comes, all hidden dangers can be borne by you and can be mitigated and suppressed." Metal Sound also gave an answer without any concealment. .

"The final day? Does it mean the destruction of civilization?" the blond man asked.

"It's more terrifying than that. You can think of it as the swansong of civilization, the end of the universe. You will attract unspeakable forces to watch. I think what you need to know is that all the costs are mitigated and delayed, just to make them explode. The time is just delayed. And as you gain more and more abundant time, the disasters that accumulate little by little and are just waiting for an outbreak will become larger and more intense.

If you go step by step, the only thing that may be destroyed is your civilization. But if you use an altar, the final destruction will include the universe where your civilization is located. "

"How specific? The disaster you are talking about, is it invisible? Or tangible? Can it be described? Or is it indescribable? Is it some kind of conceptual natural disaster? Or..."

"I've said enough. Knowing too much is not good for you now. On the contrary, it will attract the prying eyes and attention of those things earlier."

"Those things? In other words, are they entities? Or..."

"No need to guess. Those things are conceptual creatures, the breeding ground of some kind of power. They have no good or evil, but it is obvious that the impact when it appears will be regarded as evil by all civilizations. They are all A noble collection of creatures, but also a despicable fusion of all life. They are generally called evil gods.

Until you are promoted enough to escape the influence of the Nightmare Seeds, no matter what stage your skills reach, you will not be able to face them. Being unable to face it also means being unable to resist. Your civilization will not be wiped out by some force in an instant, but will move towards darkness and collapse step by step under your despair and powerlessness. Like an ember in the darkness. Either walk out of the darkness and into the light. Or burn everything and become the dying ember of civilization. "(End of chapter)
