Outside the gate of time and space, in a foreign land, the broken city - Arcana.
This was once one of the three most important cities under the rule of the Church of the Moon God, and a holy place for worshiping the god.
But at this moment, this once prosperous holy land has long been reduced to ruins. Collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere. The sacred and magnificent cathedral was cut off from the middle by an inexplicable force. It is beyond recognition. There were some transformed undead souls, and the air was filled with a stench and a smell of decay.
This is a forbidden place for living things, a paradise for the dead...
[Arch Lich] Cecil, guarded by a group of bone reapers, floated to a huge altar made of human bones and animal bones. The haggard mouth with only bones, leather and teeth left moved up and down, chanting The words of the soul were hoarse and difficult to pronounce.
Under the surge of magic power, the stacked skeleton altar suddenly glowed with blue fluorescence, and then the light became more and more intense until it condensed into a beam of light rising into the sky...
At the same time, all the advanced undead within a radius of dozens of kilometers sensed this call and began to spontaneously move towards the altar.
The undead knights wearing iron armor galloping in the desolate wilderness, the suture monsters made of flesh and corpses, the never-quiet screaming banshees, and a large number of high priests and advanced professionals who were transformed into undead.
Not long after, deafening roars resounded in the boundless darkness, and hundreds of ferocious skeletal dragons fell from the sky, accompanied by countless enslaved ghosts...
The undead in the Broken City soon gathered more and more, exceeding millions in just one hour. This was only the number of high-level undead in this area.
The army of the undead gathered together occupied the entire city. Although they had different shapes and twisted appearances, the same thing was that their eyes were burning with the fire of the soul, and they were constantly shouting the name in the language of the soul, the name of the undead. Lord - Danatus!
These shouts gathered together and formed, and an unpredictable existence arrived. Strong pressure enveloped the entire city, and a biting chill emerged in the void.
"The great Lord of the Undead, the enemy of all living things... Cecil salutes you!" The great lich lowered his head and spoke in a trembling and respectful tone.
"You did a good job, Cecil. When I take complete control of this divine realm, you will get the reward you want!" A gloomy and cold voice sounded over the entire city, as if the wind was roaring.
[Arch Lich] Cecil was immediately overjoyed, but he did not show it and hurriedly reported what he had discovered during this period.
"My Lord, I guess that the Moon God has probably fallen. We have slaughtered almost every city in this plane, but we have not encountered any decent resistance at all. The priests who believe in the Moon God have also All have lost the ability to perform divine magic.”
Previously assigned as the vanguard to invade this plane, [Arch Lich] Cecil refused. Even though his strength had already reached the peak of legend, as a pawn in the divine war, it was dangerous to go deep into the realm of a true god. The sex can be imagined.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a death mission, because the Moon God can easily crush himself to death with just one finger.
However, when he actually arrived in this world, Cecil was pleasantly surprised to find that this did not seem to be a death mission, but an almost free effort.
The enemy's resistance was much weaker than expected. At first, Cecil was a little worried about whether this would be a trap, so he acted very carefully and spent more than ten years planning the layout. The results proved that he Thinking too much, the undead army pushed forward all the way, but the Moon God never appeared at all.
"It's also possible that she took the initiative to leave and abandon this plane..." The gloomy and cold voice sounded again. Chaos was constantly surging on the altar built from bones, and a vague shadow appeared in it.
Cecil felt that his soul fire was strongly touched after just one glance, and he quickly lowered his head again.
God is invisible, unfathomable, and unknowable…
This is the iron law of the main world. Even though he has reached the peak of the legendary level, he does not dare to look at the divine body for a long time. The gap between the two sides is still as big as the sky.
What surprised him even more was the words of the Lord of the Dead.
He couldn't imagine what kind of situation could make a god voluntarily give up his own divine domain - this was the foundation of the power of gods.
"I have noticed that the magic of this world is dissipating and the quality is losing..." The cold words of the Lord of the Dead echoed in the empty void. "Diana must have found a new dimension!"
When Diana, the God of the Moon, suddenly chose to separate the divine domain from the main world, it can be said that the gods were surprised.
Some people suspected that the Moon God chose to flee in a panic because he was launching a war against a certain hostile god.
Some people also suspected that Diana had discovered a new plane, and at least a medium-sized plane, to allow the Moon God to make such a desperate move.
Danatus believed in the latter more, so he spent time and effort locating the location of Diana's domain, and made great efforts to open the space-time door linking the two places.
Now that she has guessed that the Moon God has given up on this divine realm, she is more and more certain of her guess. She even thinks that Diana may have discovered a perfect large-scale plane, so she did such a thing. Act of.
Because the opponent's divine domain has been marked with the mark of the main world, even if it leaves, Diana's power cannot remove this mark.
If you can find it yourself, the other gods can naturally do it too, it's just a matter of time.
Then Diana has only one choice left, which is to completely abandon this divine realm, bring most of her power to the other side, and then break the connection between the two worlds.
Since there is a way to pull the plane into the main world, there is also a way to separate it. Especially now that the plane has not been completely integrated into the main world, it is not difficult to completely break this connection.
Once the opponent succeeds in doing this, it will be difficult for them to find the coordinates of this plane.
If there are no coordinates and no precise positioning, it is like finding a fish swimming in the vast sea. It depends on luck and is almost impossible.
Even if they were lucky enough to find it there, Diana would have already completely integrated that large plane and gained even more power.
"Find me the portal connecting that new dimension as quickly as possible, Cecil, and I will see the result within a month!" the Lord of the Dead roared.
Before, he wanted to wait until he was completely integrated into this divine realm, and it would not be too late to search for it, but now he has become a little eager.
Because this divine realm is probably just a bait thrown by the other party, a discard to delay their progress.
The value of a large plane, the Lord of the Dead, Danatus, is extremely clear. Once he can turn it into a divine realm, he will be able to become a being with great divine power, and he can even start to consider forming his own god. Tie……
No god can endure such temptation, and the Lord of the Dead is no exception. The fluctuating emotions have shrouded the entire Broken City in an unspeakable oppression.
Even though there are only a bunch of advanced undead souls left in the Broken City whose hearts are filled with coldness and killing, they are still trembling under such oppression, and the soul fire in their eyes seems to be extinguished.
Cecil's forehead broke out in cold sweat. The Moon God's domain was not small at all. Even though he had an army of hundreds of millions of undead in his hands, he still wanted to find a few that had been deliberately hidden within a month. Time and space nodes are not an easy task either.
"If you can successfully complete this mission, find the location leading to the new plane, and lead my warriors to seize it, then this divine realm will be rewarded to you!" Danatus, the Lord of the Undead, said seductively.
Cecil's face immediately showed a look of ecstasy. Although the loss of quality in this divine realm is very serious, it is still a plane after all. If it can be integrated, it will definitely be able to break through the realm of legend and become that mysterious and invincible realm. The great existence of testing.
Even the weakest god, and a slave god who needs to be bound by the Lord of the Dead, is still a god!
"I have determined the direction of one of the doors, which is southwest of you. Follow the movement of the magic power and find it!"
The voice of the Lord of the Dead finally resounded in the Broken City, and then fell into nothingness...
After a long while, Cecil raised his head slightly tremblingly. When he saw that the bones on the altar had turned into powder, and there was no trace of the Lord of the Undead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look. The colleagues gathered around the altar gave orders.
"Collen, lead your undead knights and skeleton attendants, starting from this broken city, and conduct a blanket search in the southwest direction. Don't miss any place."
The legendary undead knight Coren, who was wrapped in rune armor, held the rune sword high and without any nonsense, he directly led the undead under his command to carry out the mission.
Immediately afterwards, Cecil turned his attention to the corpse witches and asked them to immediately start to arrange the magic circle to sense the flow of magic power. Finally, they came to the huge skeleton dragons.
"Don't order me, Cecil, I will find the space-time gate before you do." [Dragon of Winter] Warlock let out a shocking roar, and then vibrated his wings, leading hundreds of giant skeletons. The dragon and countless ghosts flew to the southwest.
"Varok..." Cecil looked at the group of skeletal dragons retreating in the distance, his expression extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.
[Dragon of Winter] Varok's power is not weaker than his own, but his brain is a bit awkward, so he succumbs to him.
Cecil could only pour his inner anger onto the rest of the undead, roaring loudly.
"Move it, everyone move it for me. There must be more than one space-time gate. You all must find it immediately. Even if you dig up every piece of land in God's Domain, you must find it for me!"
Cecil's voice was full of extremely powerful magic. Driven by the necromancy technique [Soul Whiplash], millions of high-level undead and countless low-level undead gathered in the Broken City and immediately began to I had to dig three feet into the ground to find a door.
…
According to this, a hundred kilometers away, there is a halfling settlement.
Raphael, Yolande, Ivina, Tik and others formed a circle and stared at the vacuum field. Two spheres with a size and mass that were more than a hundred times different fell freely from high altitude and hit the ground at the same time.
"It seems that the law of free fall is also valid in foreign lands!" Raphael nodded with great satisfaction, and Alok also said in surprise.
"Speaker Raphael, according to our calculations, the gravitational acceleration of this plane is about 5 meters per second, which is only about 60% of the Eternal Star."
According to the variation of the gravity formula given by Speaker Lynn, and knowing the gravitational acceleration and gravitational constant, they can deduce the relative mass of this plane.
"It's not completely certain yet. According to the latest information from the Parliament when people were exchanged last time, it is not impossible for those gods to completely control a planet or plane, and to arrange a gravity array that covers the entire world in the entire divine domain. …”
Raphael said very rigorously, if you want to get the most accurate value, it is best to measure the circumference, volume and other data of this plane.
Thinking of this, Raphael was a little confused. Without the convenient light difference method, it was not easy to 'weigh' a plane or planet.
While a few people were thinking, the halflings in the settlement were also staring at the two fallen spheres and whispering.
Two things with a volume hundreds of times different fell to the ground from a high altitude at the same time. This counterintuitive visual effect is very amazing.
The most important thing is that this is not the first strange thing these outsiders have done. Yesterday they also made a rotating roller and shined it with a beam, saying they wanted to see how fast the light in this world is.
Maka really couldn't understand the other party's brain circuit, and he even suspected that these people were performing some kind of weird magical ritual.
"Can you tell us what they are doing?" The halfling named Maka looked at Darren aside and couldn't help but ask.
"This is measuring the gravitational constant and gravitational acceleration of your world. With these data, you will know how big and heavy this world is!" Darren said proudly.
"Calculate the size of the world..." Maka's expression was very strange. "In this small cave?"
"What do you know?" Darren glanced at this fellow halfling, his eyes full of contempt. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the pool beside him.
"For example, if you want to know how much the water in the pool weighs, you don't need to lift it all up and weigh it. You just need to scoop out a basin of water, weigh it, and then calculate the volume of the pool. Then you can accurately know the weight of the water in the entire pool. It’s too heavy.”
"But...but, so what if we figure it out?" Maka asked reluctantly.
"It's very useful!" Darren raised his voice a bit, "Knowledge is power! For example, Speaker Lin En relied on his in-depth research on elements to create a sun!"
