Chapter 4149 [Day of Doom] (2)
During wartime.
A corner of the city of infinity.
Where Bishop Lockhart's mech crashed, the [Godslayer Armor] smashed directly into a residential house. The damage wasn't too severe, but the hatch had been violently ripped open, and blood splattered inside.
Shortly afterward, a stealthy miniature spaceship flashed by.
At this time, the City of Infinity was in a state of chaos, with not only the Guardian Forces, but also the Clan Association, Lucia, and the troops brought by Li Long's own spaceship.
The appearance of this miniature spacecraft did not attract any attention.
"Is this really okay?"
On the stealth spaceship, Bishop Lockhart's face was somewhat pale. This was not an act; his body had deteriorated to such an extent that driving the [Godslayer Armor] into battle was truly a desperate effort.
“Lord Lockhart, trust us, we are professionals at doing this kind of thing.” A middle-aged officer said solemnly, “Please rest assured.”
Lohat nodded, his heart filled with uncertainty.
He was unwilling to face death, but the lifespan of the [Infinite] race was limited... He had only become a temple bishop five years ago, and only in the final stage of his life had he tasted the power.
Lockhart's fear of death even made him willing to become a member of the [Guardian] Knights... even if it meant becoming a [tool].
However, the requirements to become a [Guardian] Knight are too high.
Therefore, when Ferreira secretly approached him, he, who had dedicated his life to the Infinite race, hesitated... Ferreira's allure to him was irresistible.
Cloning technology, memory replication, even the Life Bank... When Bishop Lockhart is presented with various paths that could potentially break through the lifespan limitations of the Infinite race, what he needs to give up is the knowledge of the Infinite race.
The Fletcher... no, the Abriere royal family has clearly done this before.
Because of his contact with Ferreche, Bishop Lockhart was certain that before him, countless people had been doing this: stealing knowledge and gaining new life.
Break the limits of lifespan, leave the barren world of Tania, and stop worrying about the struggle against the Limit Clan... Enjoy the wonderful world outside.
Once Lockhart secretly entered the "Treasury of Knowledge" and brought out some of the "knowledge," there was no turning back... He felt uneasy, nervous, and expectant.
As for which side of the Abrieel royal family Fletcher represented, Bishop Lockhart didn't care, nor was he afraid that Fletcher would betray him after using him, because in the outside world, only he could open the stolen knowledge text.
Even those clansmen who had already run away were not allowed to leave.
He wouldn't hand over all the knowledge immediately, but would reveal it to Ferrece little by little—after the other party met his various demands.
Yes, just like the pact the [Golden] race made back then.
boom--!
The spaceship suddenly experienced a violent jolt, causing Bishop Lockhart, who was already on edge, to change his expression drastically. "What happened?"
The middle-aged officer frowned and said, "You bumped into [Microstar]... It should just be an accident. Don't worry, we will definitely escort you away safely."
Bishop Lockhart's face darkened slightly. As someone who was committing treason, the slightest disturbance would cause him great unease.
Through the spaceship's screen, he could already see the [microplanet] in front of him... It was just a small [microplanet]. If he could take action, he could easily crush a [microplanet] of this level.
At this time, the city of [Infinity] was ravaged by the [Microstar] swarm, so Lockhart subconsciously believed that this was just an accident.
"Oh no, the engine is damaged!"
"what?!"
After a dizzying spin, the miniature spaceship, along with the [Micro Star] that was entangled around it, crashed into the city—BOOM!!
An explosion occurred, and flames shot into the sky.
But such explosions are now commonplace throughout the city of [Infinity].
A protective capsule was launched from the explosion point and landed in a residential building that had long been deserted... The hatch opened, and Bishop Lockhart crawled out with a gloomy face, coughing incessantly.
"That Ferrece guy, what's wrong with him... cough cough cough..."
Bishop Ferrece shakily took out a bottle of medicine and hurriedly swallowed it—he was utterly fed up with the torment of this illness.
Fire, thick smoke, coughing, a listless spirit, and a heart full of fear and anxiety prevented Bishop Lockhart from even noticing a faint gray mist gathering behind him not far away!
In an instant, the gray mist rushed directly towards Bishop Lockhart, completely "swallowing" him!
Within the gray fog, Bishop Lockhart suddenly felt a chill and looked up in horror, only to see a colossal [Micro Star] appearing before him!
Like a jellyfish, the [Micro Star], like a giant umbrella blotting out the sky, brought darkness... Bishop Lockhart's fear had reached its limit, and his reason seemed to collapse, causing him to slump to the ground.
He felt utterly powerless and suffocated, and could only watch in despair as the colossal [Microplanet] extended its tentacles toward him...
Roll it up!
The tentacles of [Microstar] instantly wrapped around his entire body, and the next moment, endless darkness completely sealed his consciousness!
I'm not reconciled...
Just one step away...
The outside world...
"Lord Lockhart! Lord Lockhart!"
Like the first breath of air after drowning, Bishop Lockhart took a deep breath and opened his eyes in surprise and uncertainty. There stood the middle-aged officer in front of him... The middle-aged officer looked unwell and was injured, with one arm hanging down.
“Just now…” Bishop Lockhart opened his mouth in confusion.
The middle-aged officer pointed to the corpse of a [Microplanet] nearby, "It's alright now, don't say anything more, I've already arranged for a new ship to come and pick you up..."
[MSI] Corpse...
Bishop Lockhart glanced over instinctively; it was merely a low-level [Micro Star]. The corpse had begun to disperse, but no mark had yet materialized.
Isn't it supposed to be a super-large MSI...?
Bishop Lockhart was bewildered, wondering if his mental pollution was too severe, coupled with the worsening of his condition, which was causing the hallucinations.
He was suddenly startled and subconsciously touched the [Knowledge] text hidden on his body... Thankfully, the text was still there.
Seeing Bishop Lockhart looking distraught, the middle-aged officer gritted his teeth and carried him on his back.
Everything went smoothly after that. Although the "Day of Doom" suddenly appeared during the process, causing even greater panic, it also allowed the middle-aged officer to safely send Bishop Lockhart into the Clan's spaceship.
……
……
【Ryujinmaru】knelt on the ground, his hand moving to the cockpit. Then the cockpit door opened, and with a simple A, Miss Nan, with her long legs, stepped out.
Landing.
Miss Nan casually stored the [Dragon God Maru] into the mecha's crystal, which used a small-scale space folding technology... From now on, the [Dragon God Maru] will probably be her "dedicated" mecha.
The Red King's squad has secretly returned to her Star Creation Realm. This Star Creation squad of God Destroyer Armor has fired many sniper shots on the battlefield, collected a lot of marks, and also obtained many stars.
Inside the temple, a strategic meeting is currently being held to address the crisis of "Day of Destruction".
The main hall was no longer the original one, but in a different location—when Miss Nan arrived, Raphael quickly waved to her.
Miss Nan quietly walked up to Raphael.
“Miss Nan, where have you been?” Raphael asked in a low voice.
Miss Nan didn't say anything, but instead directly stuffed a Star of Light into Raphael's hand... Raphael immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and then quickly put the Star of Light away.
Lucia witnessed this scene... and the princess looked at the witch with even greater caution.
On the enormous conference table, surveillance footage of the "Day of Destruction" was being projected.
Wherever its enormous body passed, it resembled the aftermath of an earthquake... Countless villages were destroyed along the way.
The City of Infinity is the main place where the Infinity race lives, but there are still villages of all sizes scattered throughout the Infinity race's territory.
At this moment, the leaders of the [Infinite] race, headed by Gulev, almost all had dark faces... The meeting was extremely oppressive.
Raphael then leaned close to Miss Nan's ear, "They speculate that [Day of Destruction] might venture deeper and eventually reach the territory of the [Limit Race]..."
Miss Nan nodded, then quietly pricked up her ears to listen.
On the royal side, there are mainly Lucia, [Li Long], and Ferreche – among them, Lucia is the most prominent.
"...Although the [Day of Annihilation] is very likely to enter the [Limitless Race], we cannot do nothing!" a vice-bishop said in a deep voice. "Once the [Day of Annihilation] breaches the border between the two sides, the [Limitless Race] will probably not let this opportunity pass..."
"Hmph! We can't handle the [Day of Annihilation], but do you think the [Limit Race] can? The two sides have been locked in a stalemate for so many years, fighting since their ancestors! For them, the [Day of Annihilation] is also their day of annihilation!"
Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall! If the balance at the boundary is broken, what if the [Extreme Tribe] comes over regardless of the cost?
"Lord Gulev, we should prepare for the worst... I suggest we move the [Treasury of Knowledge] and the ancestral [Artifacts] as soon as possible!"
An adjutant then offered a suggestion.
Miss Nan glanced quickly at the vice-bishop... Did this old darling just secretly glance at the seated Uncle Ferrece?
"I suggest we gather all the descendants of the hero Klüb!" A middle-aged vice-bishop stood up, placed his hands on the table, and said in a deep voice, "For so many years, our clan has supported the [Abriel] royal family with numerous [God-Slaying Armors]. Now is the time for the royal family to repay the [Infinite Race]! By gathering the strength of the [Abriel] Empire, we may very well be able to fight against [Destruction Sun]!"
Li Long's brows furrowed slightly.
He was almost certain that the [Destruction Sun] was some kind of cosmic behemoth of the [Sun] class... How much would the Empire have to sacrifice to fight it?
I'm afraid no matter how many there are, it won't be enough to fill them all.
The archdeacon continued, "We can fight a protracted war!"
Upon hearing this, even the Imperial Uncle Ferreche lost his composure and coldly said, "A war of attrition? Your Excellency, are you planning to wear down the [Abriel] Empire?"
"The lower-class [scientific side] lowly people, they're dead, they're dead," the vice-bishop said indifferently. "Back then, Klub was able to create an empire after receiving the gifts of my people, and if it's gone, we'll just create another one."
Royal Uncle Ferreche couldn't help but sneer, "I think all of you here have been sitting in this temple for far too long, and you really think of yourselves as gods! It's true that King Klub obtained the power of the Infinite Race, but the creation of an empire and the development of its civilization, can you really expect it to appear immediately just because you say you can recreate it?"
"Feleche, watch your attitude!" The vice-bishop's face immediately turned cold. "Don't forget, we can take back all the [Godslayer Armor] we gave you at any time!"
“Then take it back!” Ferreche’s attitude was extremely firm: “Even if the Empire loses the God-Slaying Armor, it will not fall easily! If you want to take back the God-Slaying Armor, we can cut off our supply to you! Let’s see whether Tania or Abriel will perish faster!”
"you……"
Ferreche scoffed, "Even if the [Abriel] Empire is gone, our royal family won't necessarily disappear! We can give up the empire, but we can still dominate a region! What about you? At most, you'll live for a hundred or two hundred years... Oh, and you might not even survive this time!"
"You're going to break the contract with Klüb?!" The archdeacon roared in fury.
Ferreche suddenly calmed down and said indifferently, "The two parties to the contract are equal. Over the years, the Empire has never violated the contents of the contract. What, are you [Infinite Race] people so noble, while the lives of my Empire's citizens are not lives?"
"Feleche!!"
Ferreche suddenly stood up, and a terrifyingly sharp glint flashed in the eyes of this seemingly kind-hearted royal uncle. "Lord Gulev, as the leader, are you just going to let this guy, who's clearly out of his mind, shout nonsense at such an important meeting?"
Gulev then waved his hand dismissively, "Vice Archbishop Guernyi, you may leave now. Your current emotional state is not suitable for this meeting."
"grown ups!"
Gulev shook his head. "The heroes are our allies, and the [Abrial] Empire has always done a good job."
The Archdeacon of Guernica immediately turned and left.
Gulev then looked at Flecce, "Flecce, I hope you understand that Vice-Bishop Guerni is just too anxious because he is focused on the [Infinite Race]."
Ferreche replied, "Lord Gulev, the world of Tania is too small. If the Infinite Race is willing, the Empire is willing to prepare a more prosperous planet for you to live on."
Gulev shook his head decisively, “The Infinite Race will not leave Tania, much less return to the Science Side.”
Ferreche did not insist. The suggestion to bring the Infinite Race back to the scientific side was not the first time the Abrial royal family had mentioned it over the years, but the answer was always the same.
“Lord Gulev,” Lucia finally spoke, “you should know the situation of the Empire. Currently, too many people have gathered on the Empire’s ancestral planet, Marindo… therefore, we cannot withdraw too many high-end combat forces.”
Gulev remained expressionless.
Lucia remembered this and said, "I can send one of my legions into Tania."
The vast empire has countless armies, but these armies are not idle; truly "free" legions are few and far between... The deployment of each legion involves a massive flow of resources and personnel arrangements.
After all, the scientific side is not limited to the empire of Abria.
They must defend against the cosmic behemoths, fight against the Void Primal Demons, guard against the military actions of the other two empires, and even constantly explore new worlds.
Li Long had no choice but to declare, "I will lead a portion of the Royal Knights to assist in the battle."
Li Long is the vice-commander of the Imperial Royal Knights, and has the authority to command a portion of the knights in battle... This is high-end combat power.
Flecce remained silent at this point.
Gulev said, "These are all too slow. I have decided to fully open the [Land of the Machine God]. The Pool of Inheritance has been sealed, but we have also obtained a large number of Stars of Light this time... Let's have a collective awakening. [Day of Destruction] will enter the [Limit Race], and it is already unstoppable. Perhaps by combining the power of the two races this time, we can truly solve the problem of [Day of Destruction]."
The exact number of stars collected this time has not yet been fully tallied, but it is certainly considerable.
Conduct a nationwide awakening—perhaps not everyone needs to undergo emblem awakening, but only eligible members of the [Infinite Race] need to increase their chances of being compatible with the [Godslayer Armor].
How many units of the "Godslayer Armor" will be compatible with this nationwide awakening?
As Miss Nan listened, she couldn't help but admire Gulev's boldness... Was he planning to achieve his goal in one fell swoop?
"grown ups?!"
The vicar general conference was alarmed.
Gulev took a deep breath. "I've made my decision. This time, not only will the [Land of the Machine God] be fully opened, and the entire population awakened, but all the [Divine Artifacts] will also be activated. In addition, I will also attempt to summon the [Holy Machine God]..."
……
……
"You were... from this morning..."
In the city of [Infinity], in front of a small eatery, the proprietress, who was dejectedly tidying up her shop that had not survived the disaster, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Looking at the worried-looking proprietress, Boss Luo said, "When the disaster struck, the Guardian Force protected us, so we wanted to do something too."
As he spoke, Boss Luo took the initiative to help clean up the collapsed debris.
The proprietress didn't refuse. The city was in chaos at the moment, and everyone was helping each other out... She had only delivered a small snack that morning.
"You are such kind people." The proprietress smiled.
Today was a terrible day, but feeling the kindness around me makes it seem less bad.
"mom!"
A short-haired boy appeared in front of the snack shop, looking flustered and panting.
"Adams!"
Overcome with excitement, the proprietress hugged her youngest son.
