Extraordinary pedigree

Unknown region·Callista.

On top of a vast ice ocean, surrounded by endless snow-capped ice fields.

The surface of the ice ocean is as smooth as a mirror, occasionally broken by deep cracks and crevices in the ice. A deep and mysterious azure light shines through the cracks.

And above the icy ocean, a majestic ship, like a floating castle made of steel, sailed in the harsh environment of Callisto.

Composed of countless steam pipes, valves and spokes, it looks extremely strong and covers the surface of the ship. It seems to be specially designed to conquer this frozen world.

Wuwuwu——

Each steam eruption from the ship is accompanied by a roar that contrasts sharply with Callisto's icy silence.

Just as the [Icefield Walker] slowly passed through the low altitude of the satellite, its huge body cast a dark shadow on the ice ocean.

The ship's thrusters sprayed out hot streams of heat that battled with the icy air above Callisto, causing snow particles to billow around it.

In the ship's command room.

The internal command room is the nerve center of [Ice Source Walker], a perfect fusion of technology and functionality in one room.

Under dim lighting, multi-screen workstations glow with a soft blue glow and are densely covered with charts and 3D modeling showing the flow of data. In the center, a huge holographic projector is operating, which converts radar scan data into vivid three-dimensional images.

In this calm technological environment, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes brought a different color.

He sat leisurely on an automatically swinging rocking chair. The rocking chair rotated back and forth with a calculated amplitude, as if echoing the rhythm of the ship and the silence of the outer starry sky. His slender fingers caressed a cat with gray fur and emerald green eyes. It lay lazily on his lap, enjoying the favor of its owner.

Inside the ship sailing on the desolate moon Callisto, the fourth swordsman in heaven was caressing his cat leisurely.

In front of him, there was an exquisite holographic projection disk, with changing light and shadow, showing a virtual card game.

In the game, the cards flutter and rotate in the air with special effects, as if they really have weight and texture. The game scenes are lifelike and vivid, and every attack action is accompanied by brilliant light and shocking sound effects.

On the other side of the blond young man, a girl with purple hair and purple eyes was as small as a keychain, and her figure was like an elf jumping out of a fantasy story.

At this moment, she was puffing out her cheeks, frowning, and a hint of mischief and dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

On the projection disk, her camp had just suffered a tragic defeat. The soldiers were scattered all over the place with their armor removed. This scene was obviously unacceptable to her.

"Why, why can a profession that represents the Holy Light steal other people's cards!"

Little Hope, who had returned from a long sleep, was raising his little fist angrily and knocking on the card machine box in front of him that was made by Xia Xiu through the authority of [Broken Fire].

She is now suing the game's producer and game planner to express her dissatisfaction.

The mechanics of this broken game are not fair at all!

"The more you practice, the more you practice. Besides, no one is as good at playing cards as you are. You are always stacking armor. In reality, you can do this until you vomit. In the game, you are still stacking armor. How boring is that? .”

The corner of the golden retriever's mouth curved into a teasing arc, which made Hope, who finally woke up fully charged, harden her fist.

Who knows this feeling?

Finally full of "electricity", I woke up happily thinking that I could see Terra's beautiful customs and customs. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I saw that a certain golden retriever social animal had already started inter-planetary business.

Terra turned into Callisto, and the joy in her heart suddenly disappeared.

Her full expectations eventually turned into accompanying him on the ship to play a card game he made.

The game is quite fun, but there is no mousse cake, so the positives and negatives offset each other, which means there is no happiness.

In addition, the other party has been using the mechanical deck to disgust me. Now not only is the happiness gone, but there is also a lot of anger in the stomach.

Do you want to fly over and give your head a blow? Hope is thinking about whether to teach the blond young man in front of me a "lesson" at this moment.

She sat on the edge of the console, her legs wobbly, and a pair of deep purple eyes locked on the forehead of the blond young man.

Xia Xiu looked at Hope's strange eyes and immediately guessed what the other party was thinking. This guy was so understanding.

Moreover, the timing of her awakening was quite coincidental. She happened to have some questions that she needed to learn from the other party.

"You've been sleeping for a long time during this period. Is there anything going on on Jupiter?"

Xia Xiu asked Hope.

"Situation? It's not a serious situation. He is still staying quietly on Jupiter, looking at the starry sky. My body is still digesting the authority of 'Father' on Jupiter."

Hope put her index finger on her chin, recalled the situation briefly, and she was not stupid. Naturally, she knew that what Xia Xiu wanted to ask was whether she and [Stag] had noticed the disappearance of Callisto.

"Well, if you want to ask about the situation of Callisto, I can only say that its disappearance should have happened a long time ago, at least when we were still in the deductive war, Callisto had disappeared. And The false moon currently orbiting Jupiter also existed a long time ago. When I woke up, I had already touched the earth's veins. It has been at least a hundred years since Callisto left the main universe of Terra."

Hope's eyes narrowed slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and her entire expression looked extremely focused. The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and her fingers unconsciously tapped the edge of the console, making a small sound.

This meditative posture adds a bit of seriousness and wisdom to her usually innocent and lively image.

"A hundred years..." Xia Xiu's golden eyes lowered slightly.

For a hundred years, for a big country like Iberia, their senior officials really didn't notice anything wrong with the early reincarnated humans after the [Great Race of Yis] seized their bodies.

According to the information he got about the Yith race from Pedro and the [Migelset] clan, when humans experience the consciousness transfer of the [Great Race of Yis], these "reincarnated humans" usually show a certain A series of significant physical, psychological and sociological characteristics.

In terms of physiological characteristics, early reincarnated humans need to face physical discomfort and sensory abnormalities for a week: such as poor muscle coordination, slow reflexes, or feeling unaccustomed to their body proportions and movement patterns. They may have significant changes in their perception of light, sound, and temperature, such as being abnormally sensitive to sunlight or having changes in their frequency perception of sound.

Generally, in this case, the family members of reincarnated humans will notice the abnormality. In this case, the risk of exposure to reincarnated humans is the highest. Although the Yis race has been spiritually consistent with the original group after reincarnation, using the ancient method [ Demon Possession Detection] cannot detect anything, but due to their inability to adapt to their new bodies, their walking, gestures, and facial expressions may appear clumsy or abnormal.

Such anomalies would greatly deepen their exposure.

Furthermore, reincarnated humans appear aloof or inappropriate in their relationships because their emotional responses differ from conventional human responses. Due to their weird behaviors and psychological confusion, reincarnated humans are generally marginalized by society and find it difficult to integrate into regular social activities.

In addition, cultural customs and social norms are unfamiliar, and reincarnated humans often even encounter things that normal people find misunderstood.

Of course, accidents cannot be ruled out, such as reincarnated humans falling in love with Terran people, or some beautiful stories like the ancient stories about the death of a vicious family member who "reformed" and took care of the family after their body was taken away.

On the land of Terra, weird things happen.

He still clearly remembered his first official assignment while studying abroad in Luyuan. At that time, he was dealing with a love story between a sarkic creature and a containment researcher.

"Meow----"

Suddenly, the gray cat sitting on Xia Xiu's lap stood up and jumped to the metal console in front of him.

Didi didi——

A slight electronic buzz suddenly sounded in the command room, the sound of radar transmitting and receiving signals.

"It seems that we have found the storage place for the second soul fragment."

Xia Xiu stood up from the rocking chair and came to Hui Feng. Hope also floated up and sat on his shoulders skillfully.

As Xia Xiu approached, a curtain with rolling data appeared in front of him.

A holographic projection emerged in the center of the command room, revealing a complex structure sealed by ice.

As the data was gradually refined, the structure began to unfold layer by layer, revealing each of its passages, each room, and even the supporting structure within the walls.

Kaitos, where the second soul fragment is stored. Xia Xiu looked at the location shown on the holographic projection.

After reporting the [Great Race of Yis] and the reincarnated humans to the Kingdom of Heaven, he rode the [Ice Source Walker] non-stop along the remaining two-thirds separated by Pedro and [Migelset] The place where soul fragments are stored.

According to the two, they split their souls into three in order to prevent them from being detected by some existence that could cause fundamental collapse, and these three broken souls hide all the truth about the affairs of the Country of Sea of ​​Mist.

At present, Xia Xiu has only found the [Great Race of Yis] and deciphered the truth about the [New Lisbon Island Hub] and the [Sea of ​​Monsters] where countless monsters are lurking. As for the secrets hidden behind the [Electronic Channel], and Ped He has not yet investigated clearly what happened between Luo and the [Migelset] clan.

[Ding--]

[You have an email from Eden, please check it——]

Just when Xia Xiu discovered the storage location of [Kaitos], which represents the desire part of the soul, [Adam]'s prompt sounded at the right time. He subconsciously opened the email, and when he saw the content on the email, he His eyes were fixed on the screen for a moment, and those eyes that were supposed to be familiar and peaceful suddenly showed a trace of wavering.

The news in the email is like autumn fruits struck by frost, unexpected and shocking, revealing the consistent style of behavior of the Kingdom of Heaven - decisive and radical.

Xia Xiu couldn't completely hide his surprise, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The Kingdom of Heaven actually sent the Angel of Death to attack Iberia in an air strike, and the Kingdom of Heaven's first sword-bearer and Quetzalcoatl, two gods that mortals regarded as miraculous existences, openly clashed over Iberia.

This kind of news was a bit beyond his expectations.

This kind of action by the Kingdom of Heaven is undoubtedly radical, and even goes beyond Eden's usual routine procedures.

Did Eden notice any unusual signs?

Or is this Eden's plan to balance the Terran forces and take this opportunity to intervene in Iberia's internal affairs?

"It seems that our actions are going to speed up."

Xia Xiu looked away from the mail, and then he controlled the [Ice Source Walker] to start exploring the location where the soul fragments were stored.

On the icy surface of Europa, the [Ice Source Rambler] descended on the surface of the ice sheet and slowly stretched out its huge ice shovel.

With each precise and powerful movement of the robotic arm, the ice shovel penetrates deeply into the skin of the planet's ancient ice.

Dong dong dong——

The ship's engine made a low and firm roar, echoing on this silent celestial body, as if it was challenging the cold world.

As the ice shovel continues to operate, blocks of ice are cut with precision and lifted into the air, revealing the secrets hidden beneath.

Soon a massive structure began to reveal its outlines.

This is a frozen ruin, an ancient experimental building. Its metal surface reflects the dim light of the ship's lights under the ice.

The metal walls of these buildings stand upright in the eternal cold and have long been covered with thick ice. The ice and snow have become witnesses of their time.

[Ice Source Walker] continues its excavation work, unveiling the mystery of this ruin bit by bit.

The surface of the metal is weathered to the point of being blurry, but some structures can still be discerned: concave and convex door leaves, solid pillars, and window frames. Their existence illustrates the glory of these experimental buildings.
