·Combat meeting minutes from Qiluo app·
Aurus: After infiltrating Meteor City, you cannot use any supernatural power other than the Heaven Returning Technique. Remember, don’t even use the Impermanence rune.
Gongsun Ce: Is it a mechanism similar to Superbia’s Shadow Mist?
Aurus: Meteor City's urban defense system is called the "Northern Cross Stardust Array". Strictly speaking, its technological content is inferior to that of Shadow Mist City. It cannot hide the battles in the inner world, nor can it suppress the activity of supernatural forces. The requirements for writing spells are too high. It has only two simple effects, mark and destroy.
Arlandia: Using impermanence or superpowers in Meteor City without permission will attract the attention of the "Northern Star Soul". A "star soul" symbolizing the life of the intruder will be generated in the sky of Meteor City. Indicate the location of the intruder. Under the highest alert level, single-target meteors will fall to kill intruders accurately, and official pursuers will rush to the scene as soon as possible to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign. This procedure will be strictly followed until the intruder is confirmed dead.
Gongsun Ce: What the hell do you call this an urban defense system? Do you Ultimis know how to spell the word "defense"?
Orus: Perhaps we have a deeper understanding of Common Language than you do, and we understand that destroying the enemy is the best protection. Now listen carefully, unactivated psychic weapons will not be immediately detected by this defense system. This is the key to this combat plan...

The so-called brilliant light refers to the ubiquitous yellow flash in the local area. Wherever the brilliant light appears, inanimate matter will undergo unpredictable changes. Therefore, the city-states and terrain here are always as complex and changeable as phantoms.
It is said that when imperial scholars discussed the translation more than a thousand years ago, they originally planned to use the word "yellow light" as an intuitive reflection of the local area. However, they were strongly opposed by the Optimis family, the ruler of Meteor City at the time. The old nobles of the Northern Continent boasted and glared at the Imperial people, saying that our Ultimus family was the most powerful and that our territory was the most fertile and fertile land in the Northern Continent. The family's army would soon unify the Northern Continent and become an equal to the Imperial Emperor. How can a monarch of a great country be called by such a shallow name as "Huang Guang"!
The imperial scholars quickly changed their narrative and said that your idea was indeed reasonable. We decided to replace it with "brilliant light", which means the divine power of the brilliance and the brilliance of the world. The old noble was overjoyed after hearing this and rewarded the scholars with a large amount of precious metals and jewelry. The scholars were very happy to have completed this official errand. Anyway, the bright lights and yellow lights all sounded the same, and the foreign devils did not understand the imperial language and were confused.
From this incident, we can see the deep-rooted character traits of the ancient bloodline of Optimis. They are often extremely confident, think highly of themselves, and have the ambition to dominate the world. The Optimis always feel that everything in this world will come under their rule, and all the family has to do is to knock down the chickens and dogs and take back the territory that belongs to them. They were almost successful during the Ancient Ustus Empire, when three emperors came from the State of Glory. But the Ancient Ustus Empire finally fell. In the troubled times when all the heroes came together, they sat in the Meteor City to recharge their batteries. They only waited for the right time to strike out and dominate the world - and then they were crushed again by the Saint who came out of thin air. dreamed.
Fortunately, the Optimis were arrogant but not stupid, and they made concessions when they saw they were outmatched. In the end, the people were unified under the saint's tour, and they also retained a lot of power. In the following thousand years, Optimis was active in both the bright and dark sides of the United States. On the surface, they were entrepreneurs, politicians and nobles, but the Optimis of the other world found another path that suited them...
"Arms dealer?"
"Ultimus is the world's largest arms manufacturing company. They use the battlefield as their shopping mall, and they often produce and sell their own products." Shigure said with a smile, "Guess who instigates power conflicts, who triggers ideological conflicts, And who had the biggest laugh during Secret Wars?"
"This family has written 'I am the mastermind' on their faces since two thousand years ago." Qiluo complained, "What kind of will drives them to cause riots again and again..."
"The so-called sense of responsibility of a noble family and that nonsense of destiny values, I guess." Gongsun Ce said, "Get it together, girls, we are going to the hotel."
The people in the car adjusted themselves one after another. In order to make the infiltration perfect this time, they not only changed cars, but also didn't even bring them with them. Disguising their identities allowed them to sneak into Meteor City temporarily, but if the traveling Harveys ran to various secret locations as soon as they arrived in the capital, even a fool would become suspicious. Therefore, Gongsun Ce carefully prepared a travel plan for cover. The first item of this plan stated that after landing, he would take a nap before thinking about anything else.
The hotel selected in the travel plan is not far from the subway entrance and meets the Harvey family's consumption level. It hides in the shadow of high-rise buildings, like a poor worm oppressed by the metropolis. The front desk of the hotel wrote in conspicuous red letters "Excellent equipment and anti-change attitude to protect your privacy and security". The waiter did not forget to give polite compliments when completing the procedures.
"Your little son is so cute."
"Hurry up and say thank you to sister." Gongsun Ce touched Qin Qianbai's head. The latter blew two syllables of "puff" on his flute and dragged his luggage ahead without paying attention, looking rebellious.
The room was booked on the fifth floor. Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai, disguised as father and son, lived in the same room, while three ladies lived next door to them. After entering the door, Gongsun Ce immediately put down his luggage and opened the curtains. There is a faint crack in the ever-changing buildings outside the window. As far as the eye can see, there is a patch of green grass. The majestic dark black building is located in the middle of the grass. Its temperament is completely different from this happy and ever-changing city. Different, like a sinister statue of a bird of prey overlooking a mirage.
This location happened to be able to observe the headquarters of the Ultimus family, which was another reason why everyone chose the hotel to stay.
"Dad, what are you looking at?"
Gongsun Ce shuddered, turned around and said, "Miss, please don't use this name in private. I look so perverted!"
Qin Qianbai took off his peaked cap and stretched. The sound of the bones moving was like a string of popping beans. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a rebellious child of 1.4 meters to a slender girl of 1.7 meters, with a well-proportioned figure and a graceful figure. The dress she was wearing as a child suddenly became shorter, exposing her fair belly. She held Gongsun Ce's neck and whispered, "Dad~"
Gongsun Ce was all excited: "Stop!"
"Ace is excited. A big pervert."
"To be fair, is it my fault?" Gongsun Ce stepped aside, "Let's use your magical warrior intuition."
Qin Qianbai took a look from a distance and closed the curtains.
"There's something in that building. It's a totem."
"Very good." Gongsun Ce whistled, "The first task is completed."

Honorwell: The main goal of this infiltration operation is to interrupt Gaius's plan to ascend to God. We know that his plan is to use the civilized front to become the totem of the United States. In order to do this, he must meet three conditions. 1. Become the president of the United States as a symbol of civilization. 2. Win the admiration and support of the people. 3. Control civilization. The core totem of the battle line. We cannot change the minds of the people, but we can make them not meet the conditions themselves. If the president's election is interrupted, or if he loses control of the core totem, the entire plan will fail.
Aurus: The core of Meteor City's defense array is the totem of the Ultimis family. I speculate that it is also an important part of the front line in the capital. Unfortunately, I have never seen the totem with my own eyes. You need to confirm its activity location in person.
Gongsun Ce: This is simple, just take a look.
Aurus: ...What are you talking about?
Qin Qianbai: Yeah. You'll understand at a glance.

Miss Qin has fallen into a strange state since she separated her superpower a few days ago. She still practices martial arts every day and interacts with everyone normally, but she is always struggling with some strange problems. She caught Shigure Rei and asked "How to make a microsecond longer" for half an hour, which annoyed Huanyuezun; she strongly asked Qiluo to describe in detail the feeling of information invisibility, forcing Qiluo to be at a loss for words. Luo escaped by becoming invisible; she asked Alandia and Yan Qi "what does Henli look like", and finally asked Gongsun Ce "what is the color of telekinesis".
"Miss, please take it easy." Gongsun Ce said, "You are expected to surpass Qin Ming."
"Well……"
But Baby Curious has also undergone new changes. For example, her intuition has become extremely sharp and she has become an unreasonable thing. Now Qin Qianbai could sense the totem aura in the building just by looking at it from thousands of miles away. No divination reasoning could apply to the "strong" feeling at this time. Although Gongsun Ce was happy, he was also a little worried, because this showed that the totem of the Optimis family was very strong, and it might not be that easy to attack it directly.
"Miss, you can sense things from such a long distance, so if the champion is here, will he notice us?" Gongsun Ce thought of another possibility.
"Perception is not as useful as radar. With Qiluo covering everyone and taking the initiative to restrain their aura, even the champion cannot detect it out of thin air." Qin Qianbai said, "But if we encounter it by chance on the road, there is nothing we can do. In that case, I It will be discovered and the conflict will begin immediately."
"Try to avoid encounters as much as possible. There is no other way." Gongsun Ce took out the travel plan and said, "Adjust your state. Dear son, our first two stops in the afternoon are popular tourist spots for disguise, and the third stop is for dinner. Passing by the Shenxing Disaster Relief Memorial Hall.”
"Go watch the disaster record?"
"Go check the old case from 15 years ago in the name of disaster."
·
At the same time, Shenxing Disaster Relief Memorial Hall.
The memorial hall is an oval-shaped gray building. Gaius, who was walking inside, did not know that his enemies were sitting and resting in a small hotel two streets away, just as Gongsun Ce did not know that if he had set off two hours earlier, Just in time to meet the Vice President, they almost passed each other in this giant city.
Maybe there was someone who knew about it, but she didn't say anything. The shadow is leaning on a load-bearing pillar, looking at a blurry photo taken by a satellite: several terrifying crater-like depressions appear all over Meteor City. The largest crater is located in the north of Meteor City, which is now The location of the headquarters of the Ultimus family.
"Hmm... um!" Xuying looked at it and said with a smile, "This is not the fault of Experiment 52! This experiment should be harmless to living things."
"In fact, every year, citizens are killed or injured due to the geological changes caused by the light." Gaius said.
"There is nothing you can do. Life in this era is too fragile. Even the fragile life before King Pingping became a Taoist is stronger than yours!" Xuying looked at him with interest, "Obviously, it only lasts for two years, but for you, The words are extremely long... How did you survive? How did you develop today's civilization?"
"With wisdom and courage!" Klein added angrily, "Have you finished your troubles from about four o'clock in the morning to now? You immortal thing doesn't care about the passage of time. Our time is very precious. , if there is nothing to do, we will leave first and you can play slowly."
Gaius was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to go back and slap his old friend in the face and say, please, don't talk so much that it will harm my life and my plans. On the other hand, he also wanted to applaud his old friend and say good job. Swear more. Fortunately, Xuying had an unusually good temper and was not angry at all. She jumped onto the glass cabinet with a smile and sat on top of the restored model.
"I forgot, time is a precious resource for you! Then... um..." Xuying curled his hair and raised his eyebrows, "Let's do this! Tell me all the causes and consequences of this matter. , how about I agree to your request?"
Gaius immediately began to narrate the past, and he told it in great detail, including the beginning and end of the entire incident, the reactions of the various participants, and the ending that was completed by his own hands.
"That's it!" Xuying clasped his hands and looked into his eyes. She suddenly laughed, and her laughter was like thousands of people singing in unison.
"You are very unwilling, right? There is nothing you can do about it, right? You feel your own powerlessness and limits, so you become a 'Brother Killer' - How many times have you looked back on this past event? You remember it so clearly that you don't want to It only takes thinking to tell it to me.”
Gaius responded with silence, and the shadow seemed to find it boring and jumped down from the glass cabinet.
"This is truly a man who has chosen a boring path."
As the meeting came to an end, Gaius actually felt a strong sense of relief, because he would not see the king again from now on. But at this moment, a crisp sound of hitting suddenly sounded, echoing in the empty memorial hall. The sound came from a pure black cane, and there was no unrelated dark gentleman standing at the entrance, taking off his hat to salute the three people.
"Long time no see, Ms. Shadow." Another man's voice came from Jing Lian's mouth, "I'm glad to see little Gaius has fulfilled his wish. It happens that you and I are free at this time, so we might as well talk about our original relationship. A deal?"
"Hmm...?" Xuying patted his head, "Ah! It seems that something like this happened. This body is not bad, what do you want to know?"
"I want to know the origin of the Permanent Law." Jinglian said, "I want to know for what reason and for what purpose you created this amazing technology."
"You have always been a child with a strong thirst for knowledge!" Xuying laughed loudly, "I will tell you when I see the end of this struggle. Until then, just wait with expectation, wait until the end Time for the fun to begin!”
The shadow left leisurely. Jinglian circled the staff in a circle and sighed: "Look, little Gaius. She is really an existence that can never be predicted."
"Sorry, you two, wait a moment." Klein knocked on his neck, "If I understand correctly, her appearance was caused by your grandfather, right?"
Jinglian shrugged and began to shirk responsibility skillfully: "Celeste did it, it's none of my business..."
Klein didn't want to say a word to the shadow. Gaius was not touched after hearing this. Qing Hongyi's plan was always better than the handiwork of the Wuxiang God. He said goodbye and left first. When he reached the exit, he heard Jinglian asking questions.
"As Mr. Purification and not as a shadow, I would like to ask you a personal question... What negotiations did you have with the shadow, Gaius Optimis?"
"I took her to visit Meteor City in exchange for a promise." Gaius said, "I asked her not to get involved in the battle that was going to happen. I didn't want to see her on the enemy's side, and I couldn't afford her help. .”
Jinglian watched him go away and said to himself: "When you were a child, you would try your best to ask her for help... Children are always like this, and they change if you don't pay attention."
