Chapter 1021 Sword
The heavy and ancient metal door was slowly pushed open, and the loud noise when the door moved seemed to come from the ancient abyss of time and space. When the door opened, the scene in the ritual ceremony hall fell into Hao Ren's eyes.
There are no ferocious "monsters" inside, nor are there more than a dozen saints attacking madly, but the things in the hall are more dangerous than all of them——
A huge rune array is still operating in the ritual ceremony hall. Countless shining mysterious symbols are slowly moving on the ground and in mid-air. The huge energy filled in it is almost ready to burst out at any time, and the energy in the rune array is At the focal point, a pitch-black sword is suspended in mid-air. Its material is as dark and deep as the universe itself, and the sword is "embedded" with bright light spots like stars.
The black sword floats weightlessly under the support of the rune array, like a crack leading to the depths of the universe. A few meters above the sword, a huge mass of dark energy is developing and growing. It is as black as ink, shaped like a black water mass with countless ripples on its surface. Its size has reached more than ten meters in width, and it is still growing. This liquid-like thing is constantly twisting, surging, and changing its shape. When it surges, it is like a heart. Something terrifying is about to burst out of this heart. It pulses powerfully—plop, plop. …
"...Terminal, call the battleship, we may need some technical support."
"Nolan has been connected and is transferring her to this space through time and space displacement, but this may cause instability in Corpus..."
"We already have the most unstable thing in the world in front of us - let her enter immediately!"
"Time and space are changing, and the battleship will enter in five minutes." Waves of blue light flashed on the surface of the data terminal, and various symbols and lines slid quickly on its casing. "But the battleship's main gun cannot solve this kind of problem. We rashly An attack could cause the balance to collapse and the energy in this hall to be released."
"But we at least need the power of the Giant Turtle Yantai. Whether it is a battleship shield or a destructive weapon, it is stronger than what we have on hand," Hao Ren said quickly, and while he was speaking, in the ritual ceremony hall, The magical reaction was still continuing, and a feeling like a slight needle prick spread from everyone's skin. Hao Ren found that there were tiny sparks jumping between his hairs. At the same time, he also began to hear There are some messy noises, and the sounds are as if they are ringing directly in the brain. Even if you cover your ears, they have no effect. "Everyone wear life-sustaining collars! Electromagnetic barriers and radiation barriers can alleviate the impact of energy fields!"
Everyone at the scene immediately put on the life-sustaining collars they carried with them - after following Hao Ren around and challenging various extreme environments many times, this collar has become a daily item carried by everyone in the family. Hao Ren took out several spare collars from his pocket and quickly fastened them around the necks of Claude, Bai Huo and Tutanin.
These life-sustaining collars themselves are not special equipment to block mental interference, but their protective function against the strong electromagnetic and strong radiation environment in the universe itself has a certain psychic barrier effect, and the energy entrenched in the hall is not a real psychic attack. It is simply a powerful energy field that happens to have a mental effect on those within its range. Therefore, after the life-sustaining collar was activated, everyone's condition was immediately relieved, and the visual and auditory hallucinations quickly faded away.
Bai Huo subconsciously touched the collar that was suddenly fastened around her neck. She had no time to ask what it was, but she knew that the metal hoop helped her block the frightening atmosphere in the hall. She looked at the black sword floating not far away in shock: "What on earth is that!?"
"Weapon, the worst and most troublesome weapon in the universe!" Hao Ren said quickly while letting the data terminal detect the surrounding energy readings. "I originally hoped to recover this terrible thing under more stable conditions, but Your saints not only activated it, but also extracted energy from this thing! They have no idea what they extracted!"
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
The black energy mass suspended above the long sword suddenly made an unsettling crackling sound. Purple-black electric light leaked from the energy mass, bouncing around in the air, and all the metal products in the hall suddenly got rid of gravity. The restraints slowly floated into the air, and were drawn by some invisible force towards the ball of energy. Metal ritual objects, enchanted swords, silver vessels and candlesticks, all of these things are floating up and turning into powder in mid-air, being mercilessly devoured by the energy - even though these ritual objects may have incomparable power. Powerful power, even if those enchanted swords may have severely damaged "gods" as powerful as Odin and Zeus in Ragnarok thousands of years ago, in front of that powerful energy, they are as fragile as made of sand!
And between the black energy and the God-killing sword, wisps of shadow lines are already visible to the naked eye.
"Its reaction speed has accelerated!" the data terminal shouted, "This machine has detected a catalytic reaction... There is something here that is catalyzing the entire charging process! It must be what we just brought in!"
"Is there something irritating that sword?" Hao Ren was shocked, "Find the source quickly!"
The data terminal quickly processed all the data it could collect. Countless dazzling data and symbols were refreshed and wandered around it. Finally, it suddenly rushed to Vivian: "Vivian is the catalyst!"
All eyes immediately focused on Vivian, who was stunned for a moment and suddenly reacted: "The mission of this sword is to kill the god..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly disintegrated into a large number of small bats and rushed out of the hall like a whirlwind.
Hao Ren immediately looked at his right hand: "Will the divine blood in my body have the same effect?"
The data terminal quickly recalculated the data: "...the reaction speed has returned to normal. It seems that the divine blood you carry is not enough to activate this sword. It only responds to the more primitive divine blood carried by Vivian. But it has been advanced. The reaction progress cannot be reversed, and the balance will be broken in thirty minutes."
At this time, Vivian's voice came through the communicator: "I'm in the passage outside the hall now. How is the situation over there?"
"The good news is that it has stabilized again. The bad news is that we only have thirty minutes to stop this thing from blowing up the Spirit World Clock Tower."
"Correction, blow up the entire Corpus." The data terminal suddenly inserted into the communication channel. It opened a new set of holographic projections, which showed the clock towers of the spiritual world and the floating temples in the Corpus space. In the connection diagram, a huge energy field is being formed between all these buildings, and it is surging with a certain frequency, like a heart. "I would like to correct one thing: the black thing in the air does not come from the God-killing Sword." The saints did not draw anything out of that sword.”
Hao Ren was stunned: "It's not the power of the sword? What is that?"
"The source of that energy is the spirit world clock tower itself - the 'mysterious power' that Claude mentioned before," the data terminal made a loud whistle, "but it is contaminated, and the source of the pollution is the God-killing Sword. , and now this pollution is spreading to the entire space. This sword is an unprecedented 'virus vector', which can not only erode the will of the demon hunter - it is polluting the entire ancient energy system of Corpus."
Almost at the same time as the data terminal's words fell, Yzaks suddenly frowned: "La Nina just sent a message. The frontline soldiers reported that the energy nodes that had been blown up were being relit one by one. In those nodes The rune stones must have been destroyed, but their energy cores are being activated out of thin air."
Tutanin is still a little unclear about the situation, but he only knows things about those energy nodes: "The rune stones are just something we set up later. Those energy nodes can originally operate on their own. It's just that in the past few thousand years, they have They were never actively activated, so we had to use external force to activate them.”
"That is to say..." Hao Ren looked at the God-Killing Sword, "Because of this sword, all the ruins of Corpus are truly waking up."
Cold sweat broke out on Lily's forehead: "And it was contaminated just after waking up... No wonder the temple of the Goddess of Creation was broken by a group of mortals!"
Bai Huo's eyes wandered around the ceremony hall. Even in this situation, she still remained calm and suddenly asked a question: "Where are the saints?"
