When Soshyan was forced to swallow the bitter pill of failure, in the dark and deep underground passages, Garmozej was chatting and laughing with the Chaos Lords in a Spartan assault tank.
"Thanks to your plan to attract the Astral Knights by besieging the White Temple, we have a chance to break through the Dark Angel's blockade."
Drum Korda rarely praised someone, but this time he was spared no words for the Lord of the Red Pirates.
The disgraced Erquisos sat across from them, looking very unhappy, but he still glanced at Garmozejie and said in a sullen voice:
"I owe you once. I will remember it. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
Garmo Zejie just smiled.
Kranon, who was sitting next to him, tilted his head and asked curiously:
"I asked, how are you sure that the Astral Knights will choose to support the White Templar first, not the Dark Angels?"
"This -"
Garmo Zejie paused for a while, pretending to be mysterious, and then said with a smile:
"Because some people have selfish motives..."
The resurrected Zagshin the Destroyer has traces of war all over his body, and there is an obvious sword mark on his helmet, but this does not seem to affect him at all.
Only his shoulders and neck would twitch from time to time.
Hearing Garmo Zejie's words, he turned his head and asked playfully:
"You seem to know him very well."
"who?"
"Who else could it be, Soshyan."
Garmo Zejie blinked.
"I can't say I'm very familiar with him, but I'm more familiar with him than you are."
"What do you think of them?"
Garmo Zejie smiled coldly.
"hypocrite."
At this time, Kranon also slapped his knees suddenly and said loudly:
"They are all hypocrites, they are all the same thing!"
Zagsin did not pay attention to the Heartless, but looked at Garmo Zejie for a while, and then nodded slightly.
"We have to have a chat when we have time..."
And deeper in this secret tunnel, two human figures also found their target in the dark cave——
"It should be right here."
Thor raised his head and used the night vision function of his helmet to see clearly the huge metal ring with a diameter of more than a kilometer in front of him.
In the center of the metal circle is a bronze sphere that fits perfectly within the frame.
Looking at the metal ring, yt-001 stepped forward and started rolling the bronze sphere.
Thor was watching from the side, and he probably guessed that this might be some kind of combination lock.
After rolling for about a minute, a seamless panel slid open at the curve of the ring in front of him, revealing the strangely angled steps, night-black marble decorated with sapphire lines.
Yt-001 said nothing and walked in minding his own business, and Thor followed him immediately.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he immediately realized that this was not some kind of physical passage——
This is actually a portal!
The moment he was enveloped by the halo, Thor felt an extremely torturous sense of dislocation, as if he had crashed directly from the vast ocean in an interstellar spacecraft.
The adaptive system of the power armor sizzled due to static electricity. It tried hard to deliver a complete image to Thor, but the malfunction nearly distorted every one of his senses.
In order not to be overwhelmed by this sudden dizziness, Thor had no choice but to hold on to his sword and take a deep breath.
"Just take a moment to balance your senses."
Yt-001's dry voice sounded, and Thor just nodded, because he felt that he would definitely act like a fool if he spoke in this situation.
Before fully opening his eyes, Thor sank his mind into a lower state of mind and slowly relaxed.
Then, when he really opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of a glass platform.
This glass platform floated in the sky above countless crystal stairs that unfolded in extra dimensions and overlapped and floated at incredible angles. He couldn't help but hold his breath.
Suddenly, he seemed to see figures in the distance tirelessly climbing up the endless steps. The slanted angles and dazzling reflections quickly blurred their outlines, but when he looked more carefully, those figures were... Disappeared.
This sight made Sol feel a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't think he was hallucinating.
He then turned his attention to his own situation.
This translucent nine-sided platform has a strange creation standing on each side. They are made of silver metal and black rock, with a lion-like body and falcon-like wings, and a head with a There are characteristics of birds and beasts, there are nine of them in total, and their positions form the symbol of the nine-pointed star.
When he focused on their heads, he found that they seemed to be the same, but in fact they were not the same. Each forehead was embedded with a shining silver mark like a unique brand. At the same time, their eyes were also very special. One is silver and one is black.
And what's even weirder, Thor noticed that there was burning energy in every head.
But this was not psychic, and he could see no sign of subspace energy flowing within them, another force that existed in the physical universe.
"The winged beast——"
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, these "stone sculptures" moved together and turned their heads in the direction of Thor.
At a certain moment, he seemed to be aware of the emotion called "anger", so he subconsciously pulled out his sword.
"Don't touch your sword."
yt-001 indifferently stopped him from taking any further actions.
"Otherwise the guardians will tear you apart. Even if you are the champion swordsman of the Third Legion, there is no chance of survival. After all, the purpose of their creation... is to fight against the body."
With that said, yt-001 stepped forward and spoke a language that Thor could not understand, and then the stone sculptures returned to their original state.
"what are they?"
"Surush."
"I mean what it is."
"You don't need to know so much. Only he is qualified to know this."
Thor took a deep look at the cyborg and gave up the idea of questioning.
"What's next?"
"Let's go."
Following yt-001 and looking towards the edge of the platform, Thor saw huge moving stairs rising in front of him. Each step condensed the moment he watched into eternity.
Different from the surrounding steps that are arranged in an orderly manner to form a chessboard, these stairs climb straight up to an altitude of more than 100 meters, leading directly to a magnificent palace, where there are many towers, = silver arcs as huge as mountains are integrated into one. , in the center is a dark door, with some stone sculptures and statues majestically standing at both ends.
"What's this?"
Sol asked again. The styles of those buildings were very foreign, but there were still some human art styles in them.
"The ghost of destroyed Ctesiphon..."
When yt-001 said these words, there was a rare emotion and a trace of sadness.
"...The final entrance is up there, and it contains what we're looking for."
Thor walked up the stairs beside the cyborg, trying to uncover the mysteries of the strange buildings below the platform, but at this moment he could not see anything except countless changing stairs and the looming palace dome.
He immediately realized what the other party meant by "ghost".
There is a high probability that these buildings are not entities, but he can feel that they are obviously some kind of existence that transcends the laws of physics and is both real and illusory, but they do not have the instability and chaos of subspace.
Creating such a miracle requires the investment of indescribable power. Thor spent some time speculating on its possible creator, but he had no clue.
