Sword of Daybreaker

That cluster of small lights disintegrated in the sea of ​​fiery and eternally burning stars, and the ensuing chain reaction formed a storm that lasted 7.6 seconds on the surface of "Ao", a huge explosion of magic power stirred the surface of the star The high-energy example of the jet, the flames of amazing scale spewed out from the sea of ​​​​plasma fire. During this brief flash, the level of energy radiation released by the entire star oscillated by less than 2%. After that, everything Gradually return to calm.

The stars burn forever, as always.

At the critical observation point near "Ao", there are only the last two tracking and observation units controlled by Omega. The two scarred aircraft are still struggling to maintain their positions, but the surface of their thermal shields has appeared. With countless tiny cracks and peeling scars, half of their observation devices have been completely burned out by the star's brilliance, but the remaining observation devices are still watching the surface of the star, watching the direction in which the flame disappeared.

Until the last moment, Omega tried to call out to the flame, but the latter never responded.

Now that the mission of the tracking unit is complete, a part of Omega's thread is quietly flowing through the control system in their background, and he knows that he should recover the two aircraft, although they are badly damaged, they still have the power to fly back to base. , even if there is no possibility of repair, the materials in their bodies still have some recycling value, but for some reason, he never issued a recycling order. After thinking quietly for a long time, he instead controlled the two aircraft to turn the engine nozzles. Let them fall straight into the sea of ​​fire on the surface of "Ao".

In the data link, I sensed that the two tracking units quickly fell to the surface of the star, felt their shields were burned by flames, and the structure was torn and vaporized a little bit. Omega was briefly confused, and his server array Buzzing, some old experience data were called out, but they were quickly excluded. He thought about the meaning of what he did, and why the streamer falling to the stars would make his mind This unexpected fluctuation occurred, and after an unknown period of time, he finally found the corresponding answer from some materials from his hometown and from his creator: this kind of behavior is called "burial".

Omega felt that he had learned something useful again. Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of this "new knowledge", he still engraved this new knowledge into his mental data quite solemnly.

At the same time, on the planet of Loren, in the territory of the Ogre Tribe, the low humming sound echoing on the Ancestral Plain is gradually returning to silence.

The huge magic power extracted from the inside of the planet is gradually calming down, and the load of the vibrating focus is also falling from its peak value. Miermina sat quietly in the observer's secret room, feeling the engineering beast gradually relax. The body finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After sitting here for so long, she is now completely accustomed to the feeling of integrating her perception with the magic tide observation device. When her spirit spreads out along the magic veins on the plain, the The steel giant structure in the plain seemed to be an extension of her body. When the huge sensor array began to scan the starry sky, she even felt that her perception was also being projected into the depths of the starry sky. This incredible "sympathy" originally had It made her quite nervous, but now she has unconsciously indulged in it.

The intelligence gathered from various information channels began to pour into the observer's secret room. After the accurate upload of the magic tide observation data, all the subsequent effects began to gradually appear:

The first is the parent star barrier control center in the Tarash Plain, where huge data deductions and model building have begun, and the ancient Ophelia Matrix is ​​importing the magic tide parameters into the parent star barrier control system, although The "hardware" part of the sky station has not yet been completed, but at least at the data level, the Ophelia Matrix has begun the final stage of preparation;

Followed by the feedback from the Empire's Magic Energy Technology Department, scholars have received the parameters of the magic tide fluctuations, and mortals will take this opportunity to take a crucial step and start from the height of "source" and "truth". Understanding the world in which they live is the first time that all beings in this world can use truly accurate data instead of myths to calculate and measure the magic tide in the sky above their heads. It is a disaster that can destroy civilization, but it is also the most accurate, The purest "ruler", and now, mortals finally got this ruler;

At the same time, the Sorin command center also sent feedback. The synchronous observation of Noi and Loren has been successfully completed, and the Noi people have also obtained the latest data on their planet. Now the super-light communication system between the two planets It is operating at full power, and the huge observation data is sent to the opposite side of the star sea, and is solved by the respective parent star barrier/mental unification field device of the two planets. The alien data and local data will be merged and reorganized to become the activation barrier. final key...

The data channel is busy, and the computing centers and control systems around the world are sending and receiving a large amount of data in a tense and orderly manner. Miermina can feel that these data are stimulated in the magic field when they flow from the magic network center tower at the top of the holy mountain. The ripples appeared, but at the moment she herself was at ease. The crucial observation mission was over, and there was nothing to control here. The computing center and servo brain array in the holy mountain will automatically complete the follow-up tasks. There are also dedicated personnel to connect and handle work in other areas, and judging from the feedback from each channel port, the leaders of other units should not have much free time to pay attention to their own side... When you are free, what can you do?

After a moment of hesitation, Miermina connected to the magic net terminal next to the throne, the anti-divine barrier started running spontaneously, and the holographic projection above the terminal appeared a clear and stable picture after a few seconds of flickering standby. Going up, a silly deer head (in Miermina's perspective) appeared in the center of the screen: "Milmina? Are you busy over there? Everything went well?"

"I'm done, everything is going well," Miermina sighed. She wanted to introduce her work process to the other side and explain the current situation, but she swallowed her words just as she was about to speak, "...in short, it was successful. Now, the Magic Tide defense plan will proceed as scheduled."

Amoen in the communication screen seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "...Did you omit a lot of things just now? Why do I feel offended?"

"Illusion," Miermina said casually, "Besides, I just explained the workflow of the magic tide observation device and the mother star barrier in detail to you, can you understand?"

"Then you still omit it! How do you know that I don't understand it?" Ammon's eyes suddenly widened, but then he shook his head again, and the conversation changed, "Of course, I myself am not interested in this. I'm not interested...then your work is done, can you come back early? Now that the correct parameters of the magic tide have been obtained, do you still need to keep an eye on the observation device?"

"I want to rest now," Miermina thought for a while, and shook her head regretfully, "but everything has not been settled yet, and before the tide of magic really passes, it is not certain whether there will be any more. An accident happens, to be safe, the observation device here is best not to stop, I have to continue to work here until the world is truly safe."

Amoen in the communication screen nodded: "Oh..."

"Where's yours?" Miermina suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. Although she couldn't tell where the weirdness was, she subconsciously searched for the topic, "What are you doing over there now? How do I feel? There's a lot of excitement around you?"

In the depths of the disobedient courtyard, under the golden oak tree emitting endless radiance, Amoen raised his head from the magic net terminal, he glanced at the situation in the assembly hall not far away, and his tone became serious and solemn: "Today is Last lesson, and their last rally here."

Perhaps it was some kind of coincidence, when the light from Noi collided with "Ao", when the two planets finally obtained the key to resist the magic tide in the synchronized observation, in the courtyard deep in the shadow world. , which also happens to be the last assembly of the Loren gods.

The shimmering light from the golden oak trees illuminated the edge of the courtyard, and the high-power magic spar lamps illuminated the large barren wilderness outside the courtyard. The figures gathered together again, and on a high platform surrounded by these stalwart figures, Rebecca's figure was extraordinarily small.

But this small figure is the focus of all the eyes of the gods, the center of the assembly hall.

"Actually, I don't have much to teach you today," Rebecca sat down on the stage. After getting along for so long, she had already adapted to the special features of this "classroom" and to being with a classmate. The huge pressure of helping the gods talk face to face, she knows that these scary-looking "big men" are actually very friendly and friendly, and they trust herself like friends, so her attitude in front of them is also very casual, "all the ones that can be used. I taught you all the knowledge and things that might come in handy, and you completed all the paper and hands-on tests, setting up blasting points, storing explosives, detonating, self-protecting... that's all."

As she spoke, she slowly looked around, and she saw Danmo, the blood god, sitting on a boulder and watching her. This majestic and scary old man was actually very kind and approachable. Li and the goddess of the curse, Jizina, are sitting together. These two goddesses who are incapable of fighting each other in terms of clergy and personality do not know when they became friends. The three sisters of abundance are not far away, and they are smiling here. , Bitter Winter and the God of Mountains and Forests are standing on the other side, talking in a low voice with the God of Wine and Fire beside him...

They are called "the gods", but since then, Rebecca has completely forgotten these glorious titles they bear, and she is here to impart knowledge from mortals to these great beings, just like She taught her assistants in the laboratory, and established a subversive master-apprentice relationship between mortals and gods in the face of those students who came to study at Imperial College, but for the parties, everything seemed to be a matter of course. .

And now, this short-lived master-apprentice relationship has come to an end.

"Today is your last time to come here for a meeting," Rebecca said, "As of yesterday's Midsummer Festival, the explosives stored in the kingdom of the gods have all reached the expected equivalent, and according to our previously agreed plan, after this Sacrifice activities in various places will continue until the official arrival of the magic tide and the official launch of the mother star barrier. This additional explosive reserve will maximize the success rate of the Ragnarok plan.

"At the same time, the meeting place here will be temporarily closed to further reduce the chance of the 'divine half body' being vigilant. Unless there is an unexpected situation that makes a temporary call, we will no longer be in contact."

After Rebecca's voice fell, the assembly hall fell into silence for a while. The gods who came to participate in the assembly today actually knew about this arrangement. After all, it was part of the plan, but as emotional "human half-body", they were still at the moment. It is inevitable that the heart will be touched.

After an unknown amount of time, the silence was finally broken. Blood God Dan Mo was the first to stand up. He came to the high platform and stared at the little mortal **** the high platform with a very solemn expression. His voice was low: "I would like to express my gratitude to you. Although the time together is short, according to the rules of the world, I should still call you a teacher."

"Don't, don't! Don't be so polite!" Rebecca was startled and waved her hands quickly, "I just taught you some basic things, but I don't dare to call myself a teacher, let alone thank you. If you have to say it, you have sheltered this world for so many years..."

"Just accept it, our 'teacher of the gods'," Gaia, the goddess of the earth, came over with a smile, "Dummer is very sensible in this regard, and he is the most disciplined."

"Ah this... After I go back, Lord Ancestor will definitely talk about me," Rebecca scratched her head, but she laughed after a while, "Well, I'll accept this title, but it's only in name, it's normal. You can call me Rebecca anyway."

Blood God Dan Mo finally showed a smile, the majestic old man nodded lightly: "Of course."

Rebecca laughed, and then she looked around at the figures in her sight again. After hesitating a few times, she finally couldn't help but say: "That...and..."

She opened her mouth and held it for a few more seconds before finally saying, "You must come back alive..."

"Since this is the request of the 'teacher'," the earth goddess smiled, deliberately emphasizing the word "teacher", "then of course we will come back alive."

Rebecca knew that it was time to say goodbye.

She took a light breath and waved at these stalwart figures: "Okay, I'll be here today, after class, you can go back."

But after her voice fell, the figures around the high platform did not leave. These beings who were dubbed "Gods" by the world seemed to still have something to say. They exchanged glances with each other. God Nefali took a step forward: "We have a gift for you."

Rebecca was stunned for a moment: "Ah... a gift?"

"It's a graduation commemoration, don't mortals talk about this?" Nefali said, and at the same time she reached out and placed an object on the high platform where Rebecca was standing. It was as small as a pebble in her hand, but But Rebecca saw that it was actually a ceremonial shield inlaid with many gems, shells, and feathers as decoration, "This was given to me by my followers a long time ago. At that time, The priestess would dance on the shield to bless the warriors of the tribe... Later this custom slowly evolved into the 'wind dance' in the western part of the continent. I give it to you, and I hope it will bless you too."

"I don't have anything good, I took this ivory from the throne," Faule, the **** of winter and the forest, also stood up, and he put an ivory as long as Rebecca on the high platform He made a "dong" sound, "Anyway, the place is going to blow up, and this thing is left as a souvenir for you."

Flora, the goddess of spring, also came to the high platform, and she placed a wreath in front of Rebecca. The wreath was woven from unknown flowers and vines, maintaining the vitality as if it was still growing on the ground: "This is Our sisters made it by hand, you can… ah, it might be a little big for you, but it’s also good for living room decoration…”

Rebecca watched the gods put the same gifts on the high platform. From the beginning, she became a little helpless, and then she subconsciously shouted: "Hey, don't be so polite... It's alright, oh my family. The ancestors said, you can't take people or things casually, and why are you acting like you are always ready to plan to fail and die, this atmosphere is not right!"

When Rebecca shouted, the goddess of the curse, Kizina, who was standing on the edge without saying a word, hurried forward: "Don't say that, it's unlucky, we're just giving gifts as a souvenir, not a last word..."

Before the cursed goddess finished speaking, all the gods nearby said in unison, "Shut up!"
