City of Auroville, in the power room deep in the underground city.
"I have an ominous premonition..."
The shadow of the troubadour emerged from the magic lamp, looking up at the darkness above, frowning slightly.
Just now, he suddenly felt an unwarranted creepiness from the sky. This somewhat familiar feeling reminded him of the fear of being dominated by the God-Eating Beast.
"That direction... is the place of oblivion..."
The bard pondered to himself, could it be that in the land of oblivion, what happened?
It's a pity that he is now responsible for monitoring the situation of the heir of order at all times, and is temporarily unable to investigate.
The bard sighed and turned to look at the figure in the distance.
At this time, Mu You was lying on the ground motionless with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly. However, from his skin, which was as red as lava and sometimes dark, you could tell what kind of pain he was going through. Under such pain, it was impossible for a person to fall asleep peacefully.
At the beginning of the fusion, Mu You was indeed shaking violently in pain, and every organ in his body was struggling instinctively.
However, this situation only lasted less than two days.
Starting from the third day, Mu You suddenly became quiet. His trembling stopped and he became motionless. He now looked like he was sleeping, so quiet that it was scary.
The bard was also startled at first, thinking that the pain was beyond his ability to bear, causing the fusion to go astray and that the fusion was about to fail.
As a result, after his inspection, he found that Mu You's physical signs were all normal, the fusion was still going smoothly, and the situation was actually quite good, and the progress was even faster than expected.
What the bard didn't know was that Mu You certainly couldn't feel pain at this time, because his consciousness had been transferred from his body to a familiar causal line.
Of course, he did not actively control his consciousness to escape. During the fusion process, his consciousness would be forcibly kept in an awake state. Under the huge pain interference, it was impossible to open his mind's eye.
But at a certain moment on the third day, Mu You suddenly felt a call. Before Mu You could figure out what it was, he felt his consciousness relaxed and was automatically brought into the causal line by some force.
At the moment when consciousness left the body, another consciousness rushed towards him at the other end of the causal line, and it was too late for Mu You to dodge.
Fortunately, this consciousness was not malicious. Instead, it transmitted a large amount of information to him at the moment of contact.
It was a fragmented picture, showing many familiar urban scenes on Earth. There was no reason or explanation, and it just played in a loop in Mu You's consciousness so abruptly.
However, the earth in the picture showed scenes of devastation. There were strange phenomena in the sky, which were completely different from the sky he was familiar with. Countless people on the ground were screaming and running away. Behind the crowd, there were strange giants. The beast is chasing residents across the city, wreaking havoc crazily.
As the monsters continue to influx, city streets one after another are reduced to rubble...
"Is this a dream? Or reality?"
Mu You couldn't understand it at first.
Until as the pictures continued to play and more and more scenes were displayed in front of him, he finally gradually understood the meaning of these pictures.
Unexpectedly, during the time when he was fusing the divine bones, the earth would encounter such a huge change!
"Chantian... So this is 'Chantian'..."
Mu You immediately remembered the warning left by Fuya's ancestor. At that time, he thought it was just a simple message, but he did not expect that the so-called change in the sky would be such a serious situation.
And the information he received now was also sent to him by a certain 'administrator', with the purpose of allowing him to understand what happened on the earth in time. After he finished fusing the divine bones, he needed to rush in as soon as possible. Return to Earth and help solve this incident.
In fact, Mu You is not sure whether the power of the God of Order can have an effect on those 'holes' in the sky, but since these administrators trust him so much, it should be said that after he returns, he should at least be able to effectively alleviate the current crisis.
In this regard, Mu You can only try to speed up the fusion, but no matter how fast it is, the fusion process cannot be less than six days.
In other words, before he returns, humans will need to survive on their own for at least three days!
Fortunately, according to the latest pictures, the current situation of mankind is not bad. Especially after the belief system was launched, players gathered together and began to actively hunt monsters. The range of activities of these strange beasts was being destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Players cannibalize.
However, Mu You knows that this is only temporary, because the real difficulty has not yet appeared.
Giants, this is what humans really need to fear.
Not only the existence of the God-Eating Beast, but the power of the giant itself is also a threat that is enough to destroy mankind.
If human beings only regard giants as larger monsters and continue to fight giants with the same casual attitude of hunting strange beasts, they will definitely suffer a big loss!
…
At this moment, under the black hole of the Pacific Ocean, countless players are feverishly chasing monsters.
From their faces, there was basically no fear, but only greed and expectation for the spoils.
In the black hole battlefields of other countries, the spoils of war must be collected uniformly and then distributed according to merit, but in the ocean far away from human gathering places, it is too difficult to do this because there is no manpower to supervise such details. s things.
Therefore, for the two black holes located in the deep sea, the rules for the spoils were made very clear from the beginning: there is no need to wait for centralized distribution afterwards, whoever gets it belongs to whom.
This is also the reason why many individual players are willing to travel thousands of miles to come to the Pacific Ocean. Nowadays, this place is not only the place with the highest density of monsters, but also the place with the lowest control. It is an ideal battlefield for many people to become rich in a wave of wealth.
After the belief system was opened, the value of both divine crystals and behemoth materials has been greatly increased. For a long time to come, these two things will be scarce strategic resources, especially divine crystals, which enhance belief. They all need magic and magic. Now every time they grab another crystal, their strength can be enhanced by one point on the spot.
It is under this kind of continuous positive feedback that many players forget about the danger and start to indulge in hunting monsters. Sometimes different teams will even start a fight over the ownership of a monster.
As for the detailed information about the God-Eating Beast and the Giant, within a day after Lin Xue announced it, some rumors were gradually released to ordinary people.
The argument of the end of the world has indeed caused some panic, but fortunately, the top management of mankind has already come up with a way to deal with it, and the good news of consecutive battles on the front lines of several black holes continues to come back, fully demonstrating the power of mankind after acquiring a belief system. This Only then was this part of the panic naturally suppressed.
The increased confidence brought about by divine magic, coupled with the fact that players fighting on the front lines showed off their trophies on forums, finally made many ordinary people in safe areas unable to sit still.
A large number of people who were originally hidden in the backpack space gradually came out of the safe zone and began to try to join the ranks of besieging monsters and competing for loot.
Of course, the people in charge of each area welcome this, but considering that the giant may come at any time, before these people join the front line, they still take some precautionary measures: everyone who is near the black hole may be Players who directly fight the giants are required to sign an agreement and wear a special positioning bracelet.
The positioning accuracy of this kind of bracelet can reach within 0.1 meters, and there is almost no delay. It also has a supporting AI algorithm system that can monitor the position of each player's bracelet in real time.
Once a giant invades any black hole, the bracelet will instantly turn red for anyone who comes within ten meters of the giant or suspected parasite, and will issue a warning to the wearer to withdraw from the battlefield and go to a safe place. The area isolates itself.
Using this method, it is possible to completely cut off the parasitic pathways of the Divine Devouring Beast.
At the same time, once the system detects that a person at risk of parasitism takes off his or her bracelet or fails to heed the warning, it will be automatically determined to have been parasitized, and modern firepower facilities such as missile groups deployed near each black hole will automatically Track and strike and eliminate them as soon as possible.
These large-scale technological weapons are not easy to use against giant beasts, but they are easy to use to harvest human lives.
However, even under such harsh conditions, there are still many people who cannot stand the temptation of divine crystals and choose to sign the agreement, voluntarily wear the bracelets, and rush to the front line to join the team that hunts exotic beasts.
In this enthusiastic enthusiasm to participate in the war, the black hole front lines in various places have evolved into a situation of more wolves and less meat in the blink of an eye. As the monsters obviously began to be insufficient, complaints on the forum quickly increased.
"There aren't enough monsters..."
"Damn it, please don't let any more people come here from the Pacific Ocean. The people are really full..."
"Damn, this is going to be involuntarily involved. Fighting over a monster is like fighting over food in a cafeteria..."
"It's really not enough. Can't there be more monsters?"
"I'm still one crystal short of becoming a fanatical believer. Can any kind-hearted person give me one..."
…
There was a relaxed atmosphere on the forum, and many people even started leaving messages, calling for the Silence Order and the dark clouds under each black hole to be removed to increase the number of monsters.
There are some who are even more outrageous, and even start to look forward to the giants landing quickly, saying that they want to let the giants experience the "power of mankind", and what they are even more looking forward to is the trophies after killing the giants.
As soon as this kind of remarks appeared, they were immediately met with stern warnings led by the official media of various countries. Only then did the direction of public opinion gradually change, and similar remarks were quickly suppressed.
This incident has gradually caused some senior officials to become worried: the emergence of the belief system and the current good situation seem to have caused many people to have misconceptions about their own strength and have begun to breed some arrogance.
There is no good way for the top management to deal with this. After all, many people have never seen a real giant, let alone experienced the oppression brought by a giant. No matter how much you tell them, you can't make them understand.
In this generally relaxed atmosphere, humans spent another two days without incident.
It wasn't until the third day, when most people began to think that this crisis would pass like this, that a sudden change occurred!
It is still the black hole in the Pacific Ocean. At the edge of the picture where the black hole is located, a new giant quietly steps out of the fog.
"The giant is coming!"
The person in charge of the testing relayed the news immediately, but there was no panic in his tone, but a sense of surprise.
Under the Pacific Black Hole, many players were refreshed after receiving the news.
I have been ravenously grabbing monsters for two days, and now I finally have the first boss!
Many people are already gearing up and can't wait to fight with the giants, so that the giants can also experience the power of their magic.
However, when everyone immediately looked up to the sky to see what the giant looked like, the scene they saw made everyone's smiles freeze and they were stunned on the spot.
At this moment, a strange giant did appear high in the sky, but in the mist behind the giant, more giants followed closely and walked out quietly.
One, two, three...
Densely packed giant figures continue to emerge from the fog in all directions, walking towards the black hole in the center of the picture.
Just a few minutes later, at least thousands of giants appeared on the screen, and they were still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Soon, the entire scene was occupied by a large number of giant figures. The giants all over the mountains and plains, each holding a variety of weapons that had never been seen before, were rapidly approaching the central black hole.
Below the black hole, countless players stared at this scene in stunned silence, too frightened to speak.
The occasional arrogance and complacency in the past, hoping that the giant would come soon, all collapsed at this moment: the reason why they expected the giant to appear was based on the premise of siege, and they expected a giant to come and let them deal with it like they did before. Like a movie god, you can experience the pleasure of defeating a god with more hits and less pain, but no one has ever expected so many giants to come to him at once!
"The total number of giants in the current screen: 7352, and it continues to increase..."
From the communicator in the emperor's hand, the sound of the scouts trembling with fear came.
"I said, this joke is a bit too much..."
The Blood Emperor also stared at the sky with his eyes wide open and swallowed involuntarily.
"..."
Next to him, the emperor sighed, speechless and could only smile bitterly.
He had already expected that after beating the previous giant away, sooner or later a giant would come to investigate again, and he had made sufficient preparations for this. For example, the tens of thousands of elite players gathering in the Pacific Ocean at this moment were actually caused by him. , I want to attract as many masters as possible here in advance to survive the next crisis of the coming giant.
But the emperor never expected that so many giants would come at once...
With more than 7,000 giants, this can be considered a huge army!
"How could this happen? Is that guy still the son of some giant emperor? After beating him, he brought his troops to find trouble?" The Blood Emperor looked incredulous. Is he so unlucky?
"Anyway, let's prepare for battle first..."
The Emperor shook his head and sighed, took out the communicator and issued an order: "Everyone, please stay as far away from the black hole as possible, hide yourself, and wait for orders..."
"Didi..."
Before the emperor could finish speaking, another piercing alarm sound suddenly came from the communicator.
"What happened again?" The Blood Emperor's eyelids twitched.
The emperor clicked on the communicator, and a voice immediately came out: "Report, traces of giants were found near black hole No. 1!"
"No. 1...the black hole in City V?" The Blood Emperor was shocked. Giants actually appeared in the country, and just in time when the giant army was approaching, it was hard not to suspect that the two sides were connected.
"Are they a group? Attacking from both sides?" The Blood Emperor frowned.
"No, it shouldn't be..."
The emperor quickly browsed the latest information received in the communicator, and quickly shook his head: "Only one giant appeared over there in V City, and judging from the action, it was not going straight to the black hole, but executing I happened to pass by during some kind of collection work and happened to discover the existence of black holes..."
"Is it a coincidence..."
The Blood Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Speaking of which, we have no time to control other places now. Our place is the most dangerous..."
The emperor didn't reply. He still looked up at the sky, but his brows gradually furrowed.
The Blood Emperor subconsciously looked up and was stunned: "Huh? Why did the giants stop?"
At this time, in the image in the sky, countless giant armies were approaching thousands of meters away from the black hole, and automatically stopped and stopped approaching.
This gave the Blood Emperor a glimmer of hope: Maybe these giants weren't here to cause trouble for them?
"No, they are not stopping, but are preparing to send the vanguard down to explore the road..." The emperor sighed.
This is the most correct approach, and it is also the one that scares the emperor the most, because it shows that not only has a civilization been formed among the God-devouring beasts, but most of the giants are also rational enough, even when faced with these insignificant bugs below, there is no trace of them. The arrogance and arrogance that belongs exclusively to gods choose the safest action instead. Such a race is the most terrifying!
Sure enough, not long after the group of giants stopped, four giants separated from the giant team and rushed towards the black hole quickly.
After approaching the black hole, the four giants jumped out of the black hole one after another without hesitation.
"Everyone, take cover!"
The emperor hurriedly issued the order through the communicator.
For the current plan, a head-on confrontation is absolutely unrealistic. We can only hide everyone first and try to delay the discovery of the giant for as long as possible to buy him time to think of countermeasures.
The four giants crashed onto the water, but did not sink. Instead, they floated on the water like weightless feathers.
Three of the giants glanced around first, and then immediately took action, forming a triangular position and guarding the fourth giant in the middle.
The fourth giant was a giant with obvious female characteristics. The female giant sat down on the spot and closed her eyes.
At the same time, a strange aura suddenly spread out around the giant with the giant as the center, quickly passing through the nearby ocean and sweeping farther away.
The moment the breath passed by, the emperor and the blood emperor who were hiding in the distance shrank their pupils suddenly and looked at each other, both seeing the despair in each other's eyes.
"Oh no, this giant is a sensory type. It is detecting the location and strength of all surrounding creatures!"
