Sword of Dawn

But what Gao Wen had to do had already been done.

The complex and meaningless historical fragments surged out around him, turning into turbulent currents that ordinary human minds could not handle, washing away everything around them. The expansion speed of this turbulent current even surpassed Magnum's Psychic Storm, surpassed The lights that run through the city and the world—

These are historical fragments that have never appeared in No. [-] sandbox. They are strange data that have never been processed by the entire spiritual network, and even some... are "knowledge" and "concepts" that the eternal sleepers who created the spiritual network have never heard of. .

They are vicious bugs to the whole world.

The whole city shakes, the whole desert shakes, and finally, even the whole space shakes——

In the depths of the desert far away from Nim Sandro, standing on the top of the mountain in the yellow sand like an upside-down jointed limb, Duarte tried his best to maintain his balance in the constantly oscillating space. He watched the desert and the distant city-state quickly It fell apart, exposing the real world covered by this layer of illusion—a world ruins that had withered and ended, and his old face was full of astonishment: "How did he find out...how did he do it...these are incomprehensible What exactly is..."

As Duarte muttered in astonishment, Naritel, who had been sitting on the ground looking at the stars, seemed to wake up from a dream. She stood up suddenly and stared blankly at the city-state of Nim Sandro in the distance. In the dark night sky, a round of silvery white light was reflected in the clear emerald green eyes.

"So beautiful... Big Star."

Duarte followed Naritil's line of sight and saw the strange celestial body hanging in the sky.

It is clear and bright, brighter than any star, but colder and smaller than the sun, it casts a flawless light, and under its light, the "false veil" covering the surface of this world moves at an even more astonishing speed. disintegrating—

"What it is?"

……

"What it is!"

Magnum looked in shock at the strange celestial body that suddenly appeared in the sky, at the silver disk that was many times smaller than the sun but still able to illuminate the night sky, and saw that the sky around the silver disk was quickly covered with cracks, It was as if the whole world was cracking around him, and he was at a loss for a while.

"It's called 'the moon'," Gao Wen said with a smile, "it doesn't exist in this world."

Gao Wen didn't use the word "month" that already existed in this world, but directly used the language he knew in his previous life to pronouncing it sounded strange to Magnum.

There is no celestial body named "moon" in this world. If we have to look for similar concepts, there is only the "moon position" conceived by magicians when they hold ceremonies, which symbolizes the position of the goddess of magic, and the calendar used to distinguish one The word "month" for the six phases of the year.

These two words have nothing to do with "moon" at all. It was Gao Wen who translated them into "moon" in his mind.

But in the real world, he looked up at the night sky countless times, and all he saw was a moonless and strange starry sky.

Thanks to this sandbox world that is false and genuine, he has bathed in the moonlight for the first time in countless years - although this moonlight is fake, it is even a fatal bug for this sandbox world.

Yuri watched in horror as Gawain smiled happily under the illumination of the strange celestial body, and there was only one thought in his mind——

The terrible extraterrestrial wanderer summoned a certain celestial body in his hometown by virtue of a loophole in the rules, and this celestial body obviously possessed terrible power, and its mere existence was enough to tear the world apart——the extraterrestrial wanderer and his hometown , It was really scary.

Then he was extremely rejoicing: Fortunately, this is only a sandbox world, and wanderers outside the domain can only summon a projection...

At this moment, the shock and disintegration of the entire world finally gradually stopped.

The sandbox system barely recovered its balance under the impact of this terrible bug. As Gao Wen expected, the torrent of erroneous data he created alone was not enough to destroy the entire "world", but he had achieved what he wanted. Effect--

Destroy the "veil" that covers the real world.

Selena looked around and found that everything had changed.

The deserted city-state Nim Sandro in the desert has disappeared, and even the entire desert has become a piece of dry and cracked wasteland. The previous lights and spiders have dissipated like a dream, replaced by Numerous ruined city walls, fortresses with disorderly heights, unbalanced mountains and rivers, city ruins layer upon layer, these things are randomly piled up on the endless plain like abandoned models, piled up to the end of sight, stacked up to the borders of the world.

The world was abandoned, and the things that once made everything became a jumbled heap of garbage, left to rot slowly on the ruins of the world.

"It's..." Magnum muttered softly.

"After the end of the world," Yuri frowned, "is this... the real sandbox?"

"On this real world, there is a false veil covered. The previous exploration team failed to see through this veil, and was gradually eroded in the endless battle with the phantom. The scene of "battle" is probably the wrong memory instilled in them by the curtain," Gao Wen said slowly, his eyes gradually moved up, and fell on the huge shadow in the distance, "The most critical issue now is that the upper storytelling By……"

The earth bulges in the distance, forming a structure that looks like a spiral tower and a cone-shaped hill, and an extremely huge body is quietly crawling on its half waist.

It was a black spider, or some kind of "creature" similar to a spider. It...or its scale has surpassed human comprehension, almost as huge as a hill, with countless indistinct patterns covering its carapace and arthropods. , Those patterns seem to have life, and they are still moving.

And the cold moonlight shone down from the sky, sprinkled on the body of the huge spider, which made this huge "monster" not scary, but had a sense of sacredness and stalwart.

And the spider lay prone quietly in the moonlight, as if it had been dead for a century.

A weak and ubiquitous rancid smell filled the space between the heaven and the earth, lingering on the plain after the end of the world.

The god is dead and decayed.

Magnum glanced into the distance, and his eyes fell on the giant spider. In the next second, he felt that his soul was about to be ripped out of his body, and every cell in his body seemed to be about to mutate, and a kind of being robbed The feeling of being wrapped in layers of invisible silk quickly overwhelmed his perception, as if trying to control his thinking and block his thoughts of shouting.

The red-haired archbishop instantly realized what had happened—he was polluted by the upper-level narrator!

"Damn it!" Magnum struggled against the erosion from the spirit, diverted his gaze from the giant spider with all his strength, and then quickly dispersed the "foreign spirit" that had begun to modify his consciousness at various levels. Said laboriously, "Beware of pollution!"

A clear and warm light lit up next to it, quickly weakening the pressure on Magnum and Yuri, and Selina Geer, who was holding a lantern, took a step forward, blocking the influence of the upper-level narrator, while subconsciously watching Xiang Gaowen: "Wanderer outside the territory, that is..."

"It is indeed the upper-level narrator." Gawain's eyes fell on the huge divine spider in the distance, and his tone was indescribably complicated, "It seems that he has been dead for a long time..."

"Dead, really dead..." Magnum put enough mental protection on himself, but still didn't dare to directly observe the huge corpse of the god, and muttered in an unbelievable tone, "Really dead Already?!"

"At least it seems so," Gao Wen frowned, "and it seems... He is really a god."

The spider lying prone on the hillside already possessed some of the characteristics of a god—powerful spiritual erosion, cannot be directly looked at, cannot be touched, even if it has turned into a corpse, approaching rashly without protection is still extremely dangerous, even Even a high-ranking powerhouse like Magnum was almost deeply polluted when he came into contact with it for the first time.

Even though there may still be a difference between the upper-level narrators and the real gods in terms of specific "pollution intensity", Gawain has reason to believe that the huge spider has indeed walked on the road of gods.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally confirmed some of his guesses about the gods...

As for Gao Wen himself, as expected before, the pollution of the upper narrator is also ineffective on him.

This allowed him to calmly observe the huge spider in the distance for a long time before taking his eyes back slowly.

"Can you still hold on?"

"I've slowed down," Magnum took a long breath, "I suppressed part of my spiritual power to prevent it from unconsciously attracting external pollution, and I still remember this—"

While talking, he stretched out his hand and sketched out complex rune lines in mid-air. The lines were crooked and had the breath of the deep sea. It was the "Siren Rune" that Gawain gave to the Eternal Sleepers as a gift. .

"The pollution came too fast just now, I don't have time to build runes," Magnum said with a wry smile, and made the rune culture into a fixed light and shadow, rubbing it on his clothes, forming a special "mental protection layer" , "... Phew, I feel better now. When are we going to dig... No, it's nothing."

Yuri and Selena also constructed the siren rune and formed a mental protective layer around them. The former shook his head after doing all this, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face: "Is this just looking directly at the gods?" ... Mortals are really fragile, and they almost died casually."

"Gods are also going to die," Gawain pointed to the giant spider under the moonlight in the distance, "and he's already dead."

Magnum carefully glanced at the cone-shaped hill in the distance, and after confirming that the siren rune can indeed help him resist the spiritual pollution of the upper-level narrator, he dared to move his gaze up: "We are going...to the side of that thing ?”

Gao Wen nodded as a matter of course, turned around and walked towards the hill: "Of course, isn't that why we came here?"

Magnum smacked his lips and shook his head. While following Gawain's footsteps, he muttered to Yuri from behind: "Damn it... Maybe I should ask you to borrow a pen and paper before I leave..."

Chapter 0813 The God After Rot

The moonlight that should not have appeared shined into the dark and sunken plain. In the center of the world that had long since ended, the upper-level narrator quietly lay prone on the spiral hill, with divine joints still clinging tightly to those A mountain rock condensed from historical fragments, the clear moonlight covers this divine creature like a veil, and the bright moon hangs high above the hill.

Gawain raised his head and looked at the huge spider.

He seemed to have died chasing the moonlight.

Of course, what he was chasing couldn't be the moonlight. This sandbox world doesn't have a "moon" just like the reality outside, but the posture of him clinging to the hillside to die... really seems to be chasing something.

Magnum raised his head, the limbs of the upper narrator blocked the moonlight, casting a huge shadow around him, the irritable red-haired bishop narrowed his eyes slightly: "Cough...it's really spectacular..."

"We have come to the real side of this world...but what should we do next?" Yuri couldn't help asking, "The upper-level narrator is dead, should he be resurrected and killed again?"

"His body is indeed here, but think of the 'veil' that deceived us all, think of those spiders that attacked us," Gawain said unhurriedly, "the life and death of a god is a matter of far greater importance than The complex concepts of mortals, he may be dead, but in a certain dimension, at a certain level, his influence is still alive..."

Gao Wen was very vague because he was not sure about some things, but he did have some guesses about the "life and death of the gods" - the gods in the real world also "died", and the battle of the god-killing fleet The records and the corpses of gods in the deep sea and in disobedient fortresses are even more untrue. However, the gods still return time and time again, answering the prayers of believers time and time again, which is enough to illustrate one thing:

Even if a god is dead and the body is right in front of your eyes, he is still alive in some way.

Selena also raised her head, cautiously observing the huge spider carcass, frowning slightly: "He seemed to be protecting something before he died."

Gawain looked up following Selena's line of sight, and he saw that there were extraordinarily thick spider webs entangled between the limbs of the upper narrator, and there seemed to be something vaguely present between the gaps in the spider webs.

It seems to be several "cocoons" made of spider silk.

The upper-level narrator seems to be protecting those "cocoons", and part of the joints are tightly contracted under the body.

"It is indeed protecting something..." Gawain frowned, and walked forward, "Perhaps those things protected by him are the key."

However, just as he was walking towards the spiral hill, an invisible wind suddenly blew across the barren plain, amidst the dust and debris blown up by the wind, Gawain and the others subconsciously stopped, waiting until this time The gust of wind subsided, and a figure stood not far in front of him at some point.

It was an old man in an old robe, tall and tall, with white beard and hair, holding a dilapidated lantern that seemed to have been used for a long time in his hand.

Duarte, who claims to be the Priest of the High Narrator.

The expressions of Yuri and Magnum became serious in an instant, and at the same time they noticed that the white-haired girl named "Naritel" didn't seem to be beside the old man on the ground at the moment.

Duarte came out of the wind, and his eyes fell on Gao Wen immediately.

"I'm surprised," he said looking at Gawain, his voice was no longer as kind and friendly as it was at the beginning, but had a sharp hoarse tremor, as if his throat had long been rotten, and the voice resonated from the fragmented flesh and blood Generally, "I've never met an individual like you... The information you bring almost pollutes the entire story."

Gao Wen didn't make any response, he just took a step forward, and a long sword with dark red in black suddenly appeared in his hand, and he took another step forward, and he put on this body to fight on the battlefield 700 years ago The heavy armor he once wore.

"Also, this way of 'talking' is more direct."

Duarte, who was dressed in shabby clothes, calmly looked at Gawain who drew his sword and stepped forward without saying a word. He said in a calm tone, and then threw away the lantern in his hand calmly.

The fire in the lantern was extinguished in an instant, but at the moment when the fire was extinguished, countless rising shadows suddenly escaped from Duarte's old body. It turned into a huge spider composed of ash, smoke, shadow and dark red patterns, exactly the same as the dead upper narrator on the spiral hill!

A strange roar sounded from the smoke, and the black spider covered with divine patterns raised a jointed limb, blocking the fiery long sword in Gawain's hand, sparks scattered and burst between the blade and the jointed limb, and Duarte was no longer alive. A human-like voice came from inside the spider: "Unfortunately, your sword blade, which originated from reality, is no match for endless nightmares..."

Gawain held the long sword tightly, and calmly looked at the dark red eyes shining in the smoke, a little illusory glimmer spread on his blade: "What a coincidence, I am also somewhat proficient in dreams. ..."

Illusory flames rose from the surface of the Pioneer Sword, and the spider limbs that seemed indestructible just a moment ago were instantly cut into two pieces. The huge body of "Duwart" moved sideways in an inconceivably flexible way, avoiding the high Wen's next attack, and let out a series of chaotic and inexplicable roars.

Gawain turned his wrist, and the long sword drew a semicircle beside him, and he held the sword up again in the next second, and asked at the same time, "Are you the upper-level narrator? Or his incarnation? Projection?

"What is that girl named Naritil?

"The god is dead... then where does the lingering breath come from?"

Facing Gawain's storm-like attack, the spider-like "Duwart" kept dodging and counterattacking, while whispering with muddy noises: "Outsider...you really have a lot of problems...

"Unfortunately, there are no answers in the nightmare!"

A layer of thick fog suddenly descended on the plain, and the thick fog blocked everyone's senses in an instant. In the darkness, only phantoms like giant spiders could be seen moving quickly in the fog. Yuri opened his hands, constantly Outlining the golden runes strengthens everyone's minds, while Magnum sets off a powerful spiritual storm, constantly dispelling the spiritual pollution that is approaching, Selena holds a lantern, and watches the changes in the fog vigilantly. In the direction of Gao Wen.

Gawain held the long sword tightly in one hand, his eyes slowly swept across the thick fog in front of him, a huge phantom spider flashed in front of him, but he just calmly stepped back half a step, and said without looking back: "You Here, Magnum, you return to the real world."

……

Deep in the underground palace of the headquarters of the Eternal Sleepers, the containment area on the ground floor was silent, as if the entire palace had been shrouded in a deep sleep.

In a separate containment room close to the assembly hall on the ground floor, "Spiritual Song" Wendy, who has a soft face and a quiet temperament, is sitting quietly on her bed, watching a nearly transparent white spider that came from nowhere. , watching it work hard in the corner, watching it running around on the ground.

Wendy's face was calm and her eyes were as silent as water. It seemed that she had been staring like this for a century, and she planned to continue staring like this.

Suddenly, she blinked and raised her head as if awakened from a dream.

On the opposite side of the bed, the siren runes carved with magic materials are quietly emitting a faint light, emitting a strange power that makes one's mind clear and sharp.

Wendy frowned suddenly.

Spiders... why are there spiders in a containment area with a strict control and cleaning regime?

The archbishop stood up and subconsciously came to the spider that was spinning a web in the corner of the wall. The latter was disturbed by her. His long legs danced quickly, and he quickly climbed up the wall. Disappeared in front of Wendy.

Wendy's expression instantly became serious.

She walked quickly to the iron door and slapped on the door twice: "Mr. Guard, how is the situation outside?"

After a delay of one or two seconds, a muffled voice of a spirit knight came from outside the door: "Everything is normal outside, Archbishop Wendy."

Wendy frowned, and quietly opened the spiritual vision. In the hazy vision brought by the spiritual vision, through the heavy metal door, she saw the spirit knight wearing a heavy helmet and armor standing in the corridor outside. guard.

Although she is not a person who is good at fighting, Wendy can be regarded as a priest at the archbishop level. These protective doors and walls in the containment area cannot completely block her prying eyes.

"Mr. Guard," Wendy said in a soft voice with a bit of strength while watching the figure in the corridor outside the door with a slight light in her eyes, "Is everything really normal outside?"

"Everything is normal outside, Archbishop Wendy."

The guard in the heavy armor spoke in a muffled voice, but in Wendy's mind vision, she clearly saw that the other party slowly raised his right hand, with his palm placed horizontally in front of his chest, with the palm facing down!

Pollution from upper storytellers? !when? !

Wendy, who thought she was the first "spiritual song" to be contained after being polluted by the upper-level narrator, suddenly widened her eyes, and vaguely realized that everyone had been deceived by some kind of illusion. On the cold metal door, his eyes quickly froze.

It only took two seconds to think.

In the next moment, she turned around, her body leaned against the wall by the door, her eyes were fixed on the rune with magical power that could purify mental pollution on the opposite wall, and she said in a clear voice:

"To the upper narrator, to our all-knowing and all-powerful Lord—"

In the corridor outside the door, there was the sound of the guard's armor colliding and rubbing slightly, as if they were listening attentively.

"Compatriots, open the door," Wendy said calmly, controlling her heartbeat and breathing, "It's time for the Lord to come."

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and Wendy waited in this unbearable calm, and finally, she heard the voice of the Spirit Knight guard: "I understand, wait a moment. Compatriots, this is really good news." information."
