Fear, despair, darkness, exhaustion, and…
dry.
"Are you awake?" A young male voice sounded in Ellie's ear.
Ellie instinctively tried to lift her heavy eyelids, and then immediately felt a faint stinging pain in her head, dizziness and stiffness followed one after another, and then she felt the aches and severe pain throughout her body. , as if the body had just been hit by a shark.
Ellie opened her eyes a little and adjusted to the soft light, staring at the young man standing next to her in a daze. Her expression didn't seem to understand what was going on at all, and she remained in this state at a loss.
After more than ten seconds, she suddenly struggled heavily and tried to sit up from the hospital bed, but in vain, but her expression became more and more clearly showing panic and despair.
"Father, Atlantis..." she murmured softly.
it's all over.
Endless sea creatures emerged from the ground and swallowed up every inch of sea water in the blink of an eye. Like bloodthirsty piranhas, they pounced on the Atlanteans who could see and harm them, and launched a bloody and terrifying massacre. , countless soldiers and civilians died tragically.
Cities fell, temples shattered, good kings fought hard, and her father, imprisoned, could not survive.
In the face of a real disaster, all her efforts and ideas turned into a joke.
Ma En, the "young man" standing beside the bed, said softly:
"I also saw that scene. If you want, I can let you rest alone."
Ellie raised her head and looked at Ma En with a sad expression, and asked with her last fantasy:
"My father, have you seen..."
Ma En shook his head slightly and said:
"You almost died there. If it weren't for the protective magic that Milod cast on you, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to survive until the teleportation took effect. You should have retreated as soon as possible. "
Ellie said lonely:
"I want to save him..."
But in that case, it was impossible for her to come into contact with any high-level items alive. Even if she came into contact with it, she might not have a chance to return to the Abnormality Control Bureau alive. And even if she did all these things...
Her father is probably dead long ago.
Ma En believed that she knew this truth deep down in her heart, but she didn't seem to think of it at all at the time, and still headed towards the treasure house of Atlantis regardless, as if there was hope there, but He could also understand why Ellie did what she did.
Because if she gives up, she won't have any chance to save it.
"Can I still go back?" Ellie asked, staring at him sadly.
Mahn replied:
"If you don't leave here, you can still go back to the location where you teleported, which is Atlantis, but if you don't want to kill yourself, I don't recommend you go back in a short time."
Ellie lowered her eyes and whispered to herself:
"Why is this happening..."
Looking at her dazed eyes, Ma En said:
"I might know what's going on."
She suddenly raised her head, looked at Ma En expressionlessly and asked:
"you know?"
Ma En nodded:
"I suspect that what caused this scene was the Sun God who helped you some time ago. He initially joined forces with you not because he was worried that the Sea Tribe would bring disaster to the world. As far as I know, what they want to do may actually bring disaster to the world. The world is being dragged into disaster."
"Where are they?" Ellie asked immediately.
She no longer even had the energy to consider whether what Ma En said might not be the truth.
Ma En said:
"No matter where they are, there is nothing you can do. Gods are dangerous creatures that cannot be killed. There may be only one person in this world who can deal with them, but she is now in federal prison.
"And aren't you protected by the ocean itself?"
After hearing this question, Ellie also realized this:
"I don't know, but I didn't see her power, and the temple didn't activate. Maybe it was because it was destroyed, but..."
But how did they sneak in here? In the past, when the Sea Tribe had a large-scale attack, Poseidon would give them a warning. The entire seabed was her body, and she also had the ability to sense far beyond ordinary people. Logically speaking, she should be able to attack in time. It’s only right to discover this.
Moreover, her body is everywhere around the temple. Normally, Poseidon should give a warning in time before it is destroyed, and Poseidon obviously has many ways to help them during the battle, but Ellie has nothing. see.
There are also artifacts and towers. They are supposed to show the terrifying power of the ocean itself, but during the time when she was pushed away by Milod and drifted away, no changes were seen at all. It was as if she fell into a deep sleep, or... …
Ma En said:
"Why does your wise king trust the Sun God?"
Ellie said with resistance:
"because……
"She is a friend of our gods."
Ma En nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, and if I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be a simple matter to hide the influence of the sea people in the trench from your gods, so that they can suddenly attack and successfully destroy Atlantis at this time.
"At least they shouldn't have caused such a big disturbance so soon after the showdown with the Federation, and maybe you don't know...
"The Sun God can only maintain a very weak power after leaving the Southern Federation."
Ellie fell silent after hearing this, but Ma En believed that she would accept his idea.
No matter how you say it, Ocean is an abnormal entity that is stronger than the current Sun God, not to mention that he will definitely not be able to fully exert his power on the bottom of the sea. Ma En does not think that he can hide Ocean so easily and destroy the city she built.
And since the ocean has always existed, there is no doubt that she has no understanding of the Sun God. However, she told the Three Wise Kings that the Sun God is a friend who can be trusted. This is very suspicious no matter how you look at it.
Of course, he speculated this way more because of Shenxiao's "Two Gods Conspiracy" prophecy.
Now that everything has been said, it is definitely not the two southern gods who are leading the conspiracy. The other god either refers to the holy religion or the sea god worshiped by Atlantis.
Moreover, Marn initially thought that the two gods referred to the Destined Returner and the Sun God, because they both stood in the Atlantis camp and fought a duel with the Federation. Yin Fanni, who represented the Holy Religion, was also defeated by him personally.
At that time, Ma En was just wondering why the blood of Shenxiao had not changed, but now after combining these things, a rather scary and bad possibility slowly emerged in his mind.
Maybe this is the meaning of that duel, and my own judgment is also the result of the Sun God's deliberate misleading. The purpose of the Sun God is to make him mistakenly regard the "Conspiracy of the Two Gods" as that duel, so that he will have enough time. Realized the real purpose.
And if this is the case, it means that the Sun God may have been able to infer Shen Xiao's prophecy to some extent, and may even have some methods to counter her prophecy, or the power of Shen Xiao's blood is inherently Not strong enough.
But no matter what, he somehow made the Blood of Shenxiao ignore something, so he came up with the prophecy of "The Conspiracy of the Two Gods".
The remaining power of the blood of Shenxiao predicted the destruction of Atlantis, but did not see the duel between the two gods, and may not have accurately predicted who the two gods were. This resulted in the Sun God being able to use That duel confused my judgment.
Compared with the lack of power of Shenxiao's blood, Ma En is more inclined to think that the Sun God really has some way to fight against Shenxiao. After all, Zhao Guanwu has mastered the same thing, and since Shenxiao is imprisoned If a wrong judgment is made at the time, it may be difficult to prevent future changes.
The emergence of the second "counterprophet" will definitely be far simpler than the first one, that is
It’s not surprising that the Sun God can do this. After all, he was once a powerful creature beyond the level, and as an ancient strongman and Shenxiao’s opponent, he must also have a high degree of research on Shenxiao’s power—and After she was imprisoned, the Sun God could study her power unscrupulously.
The negative impact of this defeat on Shenxiao is probably incalculable.
And since the Sun God has found a way to compete with Shen Xiao's prophecy ability, it also means that Shen Xiao's predictions are likely to no longer come true as smoothly as before. After all, the Sun God counterattacked this prophecy.
Then it is only reasonable that he should be able to successfully defeat this prophecy.
And even if he really saw through the Sun God's conspiracy, on the premise that he was already on guard against Shen Xiao, it would be difficult for him to do anything in front of such a top-level ability user.
For example, even if I knew about the destruction of Atlantis in advance, I'm afraid it would be difficult to really do anything unless I had the consciousness of death to reveal that I was secretly connected with Shenxiao, but that outcome would be very harmful to Shenxiao. Saying it might not be any better.
But it's hard to say whether it's exactly what he thought. Unless he can see Shenxiao, there may be no chance to truly determine who has the upper hand in this level of fighting.
And this is what Ma En is going to do - he plans to meet Shen Xiao.
This was a disaster that could endanger the whole world, but there was still a chance for him. He happened to join the Federation and was about to be assigned to the department responsible for Shenxiao. If the purpose of the Sun God was really as he had speculated, If it's Shen Xiao...
Then it is very likely that he will meet Shenxiao. Even if the federation does not arrange it this way, he will still have a high possibility of getting the opportunity.
By then his questions will be answered, and there will probably be some other little "surprises."
At this time, Ellie gradually accepted the facts he mentioned:
"You think this has something to do with our gods."
Mahn replied:
"I'm not saying that she was the culprit who destroyed Atlantis, but that she might have known about it and didn't tell you. The information you submitted also said that she was able to communicate directly with the Three Wise Kings in the temple. Yes, you can also notify the priest at any time.
"But I know this point of view may be difficult for you to accept. You can..."
"No need." Ellie shook her head gently, "There's only one thing I can't accept."
She was about to betray Atlantis for her father. Under this premise, knowing the news did not particularly stimulate her. If she really had any faith in the ocean itself, she would not have those thoughts.
At an early age, her father taught her a completely different way of thinking from other Atlanteans.
Thinking of this, Ellie suddenly thought of something:
"I didn't see the power of the artifacts when I was in Atlantis, and there were several artifacts that could be seen throughout Atlantis as long as they were used. When I was pushed away, the secret Lord has obviously arrived at the treasure house.
"And when I teleported, he and the other wise kings must have obtained the artifacts. Logically speaking, with these powerful weapons, they should be able to successfully stop the sea tribe's offensive, but if she abandons us... …”
Ma En said:
"These are just our speculations. Maybe the situation will turn around, but I think you can't go back to the bottom of the sea directly. If you want to stay here, we can arrange a job for you.
"And if you want to leave all this behind, we can also let you go to land, and you can continue to live in some remote areas. After all, in the face of this kind of war that is close to a natural disaster, many times we can only choose to accept it.
"When you leave, I will also erase your memories of us. If you want, I can also imitate your other memories.
"Do you have any ideas, or do you want to think about it again?"
Although Ma En said this, he actually already knew how Ellie would answer.
"No," Ellie said firmly.
She won't choose any of them.
Ma En showed a puzzled look:
"No?"
Ellie shook her head resolutely:
"I want to return to Atlantis and see my father's body with my own eyes before I can make any other decisions. Of course, I'm not a madman. I know very well that returning there now can only lead to death, but I know the value of a first-class item. Location.
"A super weapon that won't be reduced to scrap just because Poseidon abandons it."
Ma En showed a curious look:
"So you want to use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for the opportunity to see your father's body."
She said with some worry:
"Yes, but this weapon called the Blood Sea Scepter is actually very weak in its level, and it can only fully exert itself in the ocean. It is not very powerful, because its main function and power are not used. Not for fighting, but for shielding the ocean itself from prying eyes.
"If you don't plan to be an enemy of the ocean, then the value of this weapon to you is probably very low. But in fact, this thing may also have some meaning to you. After all, the ocean itself is a level according to you. biology.
"Of course, I understand if you are unwilling to take risks for this. In that case, you can also send me back to Atlantis again after a while. I still don't want to give up my father."
She spoke as if she was afraid that Ma En, who represented the Abnormality Control Bureau, would look down on this ordinary level item.
Ma En showed a thoughtful expression:
"I will convey your message back. If you are willing to wait, I can give you an answer after some time."
The main reason why Ma En said this is that he has no way to go back there now and obtain that level weapon - even it is too dangerous for the entire Abnormality Control Bureau.
Then he showed a curious expression:
"You said that the ocean itself is a Tier anomalous entity, but I heard that she is a Tier one."
Ellie is not surprised by this:
"We also thought so, but then we realized that it was just because she was gentle. The ocean itself could easily destroy civilization on land today, but that didn't mean that this was her power.
"For her, doing that is equivalent to a level 1 ability person turning over - the kind that doesn't use any abilities.
"She created life on this planet.
"So I also believe you said that she is just watching, because she has no reason to destroy us. This does not require the sea clan at all to her. To the sea, doing so is like a super-level ability user moving his fingers."
Ma En nodded:
"Very good, I will bring you the news as soon as possible. You can rest here during this time."
Even though Atlantis was a chaotic and dangerous place that he could not go to at the moment, Ma En could not let go of this opportunity no matter what. The conspiracy of the two gods bypassed Shenxiao to take effect, but it also happened to give him a chance. A shortcut.
He already has a plan.
