Chapter 1022 There Is Always a Way, Even Though It Is Not Very Appropriate

"Where are the saints?" Bai Huo looked around, looking for the figures, or remains, of the eleven saints who should be here.

There are thirteen demon hunter saints in total. Bedolis has been confirmed to have died in the banquet hall, while the first saint never left his secluded cell. According to the information provided by Claude, there should be There are eleven more saints.

However, there is not even a body here.

Lily immediately opened her eyes wide and sniffed, searching carefully, and soon found something: "Are these...left by them?"

She found a very dim gray-white mark on the edge of the rune circle in the corner of the hall, and a few strands of black cloth could be seen next to this mark.

"...It's ashes." Hao Ren came to the gray-white mark and stretched out his hand to wipe it. His fingertips were stained with some fine powder, and he also found some hard particles between the black pieces of cloth, "and Fragments of their clothes and masks.”

Bai Huo judged the location of these traces in the room, and immediately ran to other corners of the ritual ceremony hall: "There are them here too! And here."

Soon she found all the traces: there were eleven ashes left on the floor of the ritual ceremony hall. Most of these ashes had probably been scattered by the wind and swallowed up by the energy vortex in the hall, leaving only a gray-white patch on the spot. Light marks. These traces are symmetrically distributed like the numbers on a dial, with only one gap - that should be the position where Saint Bedolis stayed during the ceremony.

"Sure enough, they are all dead," Hao Ren thought of the traces left behind by Saint Bedolis after his death. "The death situation was the same, turned into ashes and smoke, and the people who stayed in the ceremony hall were obviously more miserable."

"When did they die?" Lily's mind suddenly became clearer. "Did they die as soon as the ceremony began, or not long ago?"

The data terminal detected the information remaining in the ashes: "...the passage of time here does not follow common sense, so there is no way to determine the time of their death, but it is certain that they were destroyed not long after the ceremony began. The energy remaining in the ashes You can prove it.”

Hao Ren immediately noticed something suspicious: "They died right after the ceremony started?! Who was giving the orders during the entire demon hunter civil war after that?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Claude. The young attendant also had a look of astonishment, but he seemed to have some ideas: "The instructions of the saints have been coming from the hall - conveyed through secret techniques, we I didn’t feel anything strange at that time. But indeed, they didn’t show up during the whole process, so no one can be sure whether the saints were still alive at that time.”

A kind of chill gradually spread in the hearts of Bai Huo and Tutan. They realized one thing with horror: except for Bedolis, eleven of the twelve saints in charge had already happened before the mutation happened. He had died before, so who was directing the war that took place in Corpus space after that? !

This sword? Or is it the "monster" attached to this sword?

"Terminal, check again to see if there is any intelligent activity here!" Hao Ren said loudly, and at the same time, he quickly took out various things from his pocket and placed them around the black sword - from various explosives There are energy suppressors available for general use. In fact, he didn't know how to stop the magic charging process in the hall, not even the data terminal, but he thought that if it really got out of control later, blowing up the tower in advance might at least avoid Corpus. chain reaction of other energy nodes.

Yzaks has begun to imprint demonic runes into the original rune array in the ritual ceremony hall. This is an extremely risky operation, just like reaching out to take out a nail from two high-speed rotating fans of knives. If you are not careful, It would lead to the collapse of the entire compound reaction and detonate the contaminated mysterious energy in advance. However, the old devil relied on his powerful power control ability and rich experience to operate, doing his best to reduce the operating efficiency of these rune arrays. .

Although the magic reaction in the ceremony hall has reached this stage, the influence of the rune circle on it is no longer so important.

The data terminal turned on all its sensors and searched for information fluctuations of all suspected intelligent activities nearby. If there really is an intelligent "monster" entrenched here and controlling everything, then only by strangling the monster's identity can the problem be solved.

However, after some searching, the data terminal gave a disappointing answer: "No, all the intelligent activities here come from you."

"How could it be..." Bai Huo couldn't figure it out at all, "In the past half month, something in this hall has issued hundreds of orders to the Presbyterian Order in the name of the saints!"

"But 'it' really doesn't exist - unless 'it' has run away," a scream from the data terminal interrupted Bai Huo's words, "Now all that's left here is an evil weapon and a group of things that are about to get out of control." Energy, we need to focus on the crisis at hand.”

Just as the data terminal finished speaking, a light suddenly lit up in the dark sky outside the Spirit Realm Clock Tower. The light expanded into a portal, and a silver-white battleship slowly poked its head out of the portal. Hao Ren received a communication from Nolan in his mind: "The Giant Turtle Yantai has entered the battlefield and is waiting for the next instruction."

Nolan entered the "battlefield" - in the previous battle, because all the weapons of this ship were too powerful, in order to prevent the psionic artillery from destroying everything indiscriminately (at the same time, the powerful radiation produced by the ship when it fired would also Causing terrible damage to friendly forces on the battlefield), Hao Ren always asked Nolan to wait in the rear, but now the time has come when she has to appear, so what can this ship do?

Hao Ren's simplest and crudest idea is to let the secondary guns of the Giant Turtle Yantai fire at the Spirit Realm Clock Tower. The psionic energy will completely destroy everything within the range, including matter and energy, including time and space, and out-of-control energy. The group may be wiped out before it explodes.

But the God-killing Sword and most of the spiritual clock tower will also be annihilated at the same time.

Hao Ren quickly dismissed the idea of ​​​​exploding in his mind. At the same time, the energy mass above the God-killing Sword was further expanding. It enveloped the sky above the ceremony hall like a dark vortex that devoured all things, and passed through various The connection between temples is also rapidly contaminating all energy nodes in Corpus.

At this time, the data terminal suddenly shouted: "Partner, this machine found something!"

Hao Ren and Yzaks said in unison: "What?"

"The key to the magic structure in the hall is not the sword, but the energy vortex above the sword," the data terminal said quickly. The holographic projection showed the magic connection between the God-killing Sword and the surrounding environment. "The sword is just an inspiration point. ', but the key to maintaining the entire reaction process lies in that group of energy. It has grown so powerful that even if it loses the supply of the spiritual clock tower, it can continue to maintain the reaction process. If this can be The energy vortex is cut off... maybe everything can stop."

"Cut it off?" Hao Ren looked up at the black mass above the hall. Now the indescribable mass had spread to the entire dome, surging like dark mercury, and a bright blue electric light burst from the mass. It came out, constantly smashing the surrounding building structures and metal objects floating towards it, and in the center of the mass, some tiny light spots were rippling, as if a crack had opened leading to the starry sky of the universe.

But Hao Ren knew that it was not a space crack, but an optical phenomenon similar to the surface of the God-Killing Sword, or... the God-Killing Sword was assimilating this energy into something the same as itself!

A bold idea suddenly came to me.

He asked the data terminal in a hurried tone: "Can you teleport out with this ball of energy?"

"The transmission system of this machine is designed for small-scale personnel transfers. The power of personal data terminals cannot cope with this high-density energy group."

"Then can my portable space bear this thing?"

The data terminal guessed Hao Ren's thoughts in an instant, but it still analyzed it dutifully: "...Theoretically it is possible, but it is very dangerous. If it breaks out in your portable space, the security protocol will immediately cut off you and the portable space. Your brain will be severely damaged by this hard cutoff of the mental connection between you. This machine estimates that it will explode after leaving this hall for at most twenty seconds."

"I will throw it out before then," Hao Ren said quickly, and then contacted Nolan, "How long will it take you to get from Corpus to the deep space of the outer world? The farther away you are from the inhabited galaxy. The better.”

"Fastest?" Nolan also understood Hao Ren's thoughts, "The space channel was still open when I came in, but opposite the space channel is the Kuiper Station... Oh, by the way, I have set up gravity near a star. Anchor point, you can jump from Kuiper Station to the vicinity of the anchor point in a few seconds."

"Is there anyone around that star?"

"No, it's a lifeless area."

"Okay," Hao Ren nodded vigorously, staring at the dark energy above the hall, "wait for my order, I will put this thing into the portable space, and then you immediately take me away from the earth, the farther away the better - we will Throw this thing into space."
