When Wu Chen and the female mutant walked out of the unknown cave where they were camping, a dark elf's Harrow Dagger spaceship was quickly de-invisible.
Storm has superb aircraft piloting skills. Although there is definitely no brain assistance from New Hong Kong in this memory chain, it does not affect the plot. But in Wu Chen's recovered memory, there seems to be no information about the dark elf's home planet.
After everyone boarded the ship, Storm immediately controlled the Harrow spaceship to take off on the spot and re-enter the invisible state.
Walking through the jagged and gloomy mountains. Psylocke, who possesses telepathy, guides the spacecraft to avoid patrol posts along the way and arrives at its destination silently. An ancient building hidden within a solitary peak, integrated with the mountain peak and only revealing the towering spire. This is what the female mutants call the Temple of Sacrifice.
All the missing children in the nine realms were taken into the sacrificial temple. Seeing that the war was about to break out, King Asgard Bor led the nine-realm coalition to fight against the dark elves and had no time to think about anything else. So this tricky little side quest was handed over to Wu Chen, the Lord of Ximu from Snowrun City in the Skyrim Province of Tamriel. As an ally, Wu Chen has no shirk in his duty. What's more, Wu Chen was familiar with similar tasks and had already completed many of them. He also gained the trust of King Bol.
"Master." The Harrow spaceship stopped, and the female mutants naturally gathered around Wu Chen.
"Quick in and quick out to avoid a fierce battle." Wu Chen has made a plan: "As usual: Yuriko and Elizabeth will sneak in first and clear the obstacles; Ororo will guard the spaceship, and Ophelia will accompany me."
"As commanded."
Death Girl and Psylocke are a perfect combination. All the hidden whistles and traps cannot escape Psylocke's telepathy, and no matter how strong the access control is, it cannot stop the cutting claws of death. Even if there is an insurmountable natural chasm, Spirit Butterfly can transform into an energy whip and lead Death Girl across it.
Wu Chen and Ophelia arrived at the core of the temple without any hindrance.
The structure of the central temple resembles a dark shadow tree. Above the head is a huge luminous canopy, which continuously absorbs energy from the rooted abyss through the thick trunks. At the bottom of the temple, in a hollow root-shaped cage that is twisted and twisted, there are missing children sleeping in an unknown liquid.
Wu Chen tried to activate his own spiritual perspective in the memory chain of the Cursed Witch Queen.
I saw an even more terrifying scene hidden under the shadow. The weak luminous bodies huddled in the cages are experiencing never-ending nightmares. The flow of etheric particles nourished by nightmares continues to gather upwards and penetrates into the numerous fruits hanging under the canopy of the huge luminous body.
Only then did Wu Chen realize that the so-called "Tree of Shadows" was clearly a flow of crystallized ether particles that fed on the spirits of innocent children and produced nightmare fruits that were indispensable sacrificial stones for the war.
Kurse Stones are mysterious energy stones used by elite dark elves to stimulate their potential. As long as the dark elf crushes the cursed stone in his hand, the released ether power will fuse the dark elf's armor and skin into one, transforming him into a Kursed warrior with a huge size and greatly improved abilities. And uses ether particles to burn all enemies it comes into contact with. But the dark elves transformed into cursed warriors will eventually pay the price of death. And irreversible.
The plot clues of "Thor 2" also show that in the final battle with the Asgardian army, the dark elf warriors used the sacrifice stones to transform into cursed warriors. In a short time, these super soldiers nearly destroyed Asgard's army.
Therefore, Wu Chen can be sure that the purpose of the dark elves taking away the children of the Nine Realms is to make sacrificial stones.
According to the background of the Marvel plot universe, ether is a real gemstone that is one of the six infinite stones. Most of the other gems are hard solids, but ether has no fixed form. Usually an erratic liquid, it can be converted into a dark red transparent solid. and cannot be completely destroyed.
Etheric particles can literally turn one's consciousness into reality. So according to players' speculation, it is likely to be the most powerful of the six infinite rough stones. Any physical laws are meaningless in front of it. The leader of the dark elves, Malekith, wants to use it to return the universe to darkness and claim it as his own. So it followed Malekith's will, turning all objects into dark matter, and was able to find its own host and feed on the host's vitality.
Now it seems that apart from vitality, it can also absorb spiritual power. And the children of the Nine Realms with simple minds have become the best raw materials for making sacrificial stones.
"Don't move yet." Wu Chen was using his spiritual body's perspective to see through the energy circuit of the Shadow Tree: "If you are not careful, it will trigger the defense and destruction mechanism. If you remove it suddenly, it will not only fail to save the child, but will destroy all the people." The 'host' died instantly."
"It is said that the initial power of ether is not powerful compared to other infinite stones. But every time it swallows one of the nine worlds, its power will double. When it swallows the entire nine worlds, its power will be enough to return the entire universe to the long night. , there will be no more light." Lingdie could completely understand Wu Chen's mood.
"A fragment of ether can be crystallized to create a powerful cursed warrior. It is said that the power of the cursed warrior is even several times higher than that of Thor. Malekith sacrificed the children of the nine realms to make cursed stones, in order to obtain a large number of cursed stones. Cursed warriors form a powerful 'Master of the Cursed', which is also the inevitable choice of the dark elves." Ophelia remained calm as usual.
"That's right." Death Girl also has a scientist's perspective: "I'm worried that saving the children of the Nine Realms will become the trigger of the war."
"You mean, King Bol will use this as an excuse to start a war." Psylocke understood.
"Nine times out of ten." Ophelia thought so too.
"This war is inevitable." Soon, Wu Chen cracked the energy circuit of the Shadow Tree: "I will create an energy short circuit. Psylocke is ready to save people."
"Understood." Spirit Butterfly prepared to use the energy whip.
The Ω brain waves continue to increase in amplitude and invade the Tree of Shadow. Touched by the delicious food delivered to the door, the crystalline Shadow Tree suddenly turned into wriggling tentacles, as if it came to life in an instant. At the moment when his tentacles were rolled up and pounced on the prey, Wu Chen's powerful mental pulse was ready to go out.
boom--
A big explosion from the spiritual level swept through the Temple of Sacrifice. It felt as if a vital point had been hit, or as if a key point had been tapped. The entire tree of shadows twitched and shriveled, becoming dim for a moment.
"Do it." Wu Chen gave the order, and the spirit butterfly whip flew. Break the root nodules individually. Then he rolled up the child and threw it into the air.
"Save people." Death Girl and Ophelia both flew up and picked up the children.
"The master's spiritual attack is really too powerful." Lingdie said with emotion: "Especially for strange energy gems like ether. Ordinary physical attacks are simply in vain."
"Master, why don't you swallow the spirit body of the Shadow Tree directly?" Death Girl was puzzled.
"The existence of ether is too strange. I always feel as if someone is spying from behind." Wu Chen said what he was thinking: "The war is coming. It is better to do less than to do more."
"Master, look quickly." In the midst of his busy schedule, Lingdie suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
The tree of shadows that was killed by Wu Chen with a single blow was falling one after another, with numerous fruits hanging on its branches, turning into ashes in mid-air. The entire huge tree crown was also annihilated. The fragmentation spread rapidly from top to bottom. Without the support of the Shadow Tree, the entire temple began to collapse, and it was about to collapse.
"How many children are there?" Wu Chen prepared to evacuate.
"Only the last one left." Psylocke pointed to the ground, beyond reach.
"Auroroluo, come quickly for support." Wu Chen ordered.
Storm piloted the Harrow spaceship, flying down from the collapsed dome like a dagger.
Spirit Butterfly stepped on the collapsed rocks and rolled around, whipping out the whip to roll up the last child.
A tornado storm appeared out of thin air and surrounded the Harrow spaceship, throwing away all the falling rocks above. When everyone boarded the ship, it transformed into a huge tornado, exploding the entire temple in an instant, and soared into the sky like a black dragon. The Harrow spaceship swept away in the eye of the storm and roared away.
The dark elf dagger spaceships that came to intercept along the way were all blown away by the tornado. Seeing that Storm's power was exhausted, the moment the storm subsided, a colorful light pierced the sky and took away the Harrow spaceship. Disappeared into the dark sky.
