Chapter 82: The Leader
"His people respectfully call him 'the leader.'"
Leader......
Ruler of otherworldly creatures?!
Strunm screamed, hugged Fermat, and didn't let go. Fermat complained, "You're a little slower!" It's a shame too! However, his trembling legs betrayed him, and his reprimand was completely unfounded.
The two looked at Leibniz in awe - His Majesty actually knew the leader? And the leader also has an impression of His Majesty?
"You must be curious, what is the relationship between me and the leader? It doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
Leibniz spoke in a dreamy tone.
…………
It was the battlefield of the "Doomsday Confrontation".
The battle has reached a fever pitch. The Eternal Emperor took the lead and single-handedly faced the two kings from the other world. Because the logistics were almost exhausted, Leibniz, as the logistics chief, was finally able to get out of the heavy task and go to the battlefield to fight against the unafraid Otherworldly vanguard with his comrades.
Suddenly, on the edge of the battlefield, a space-time wormhole opened, and a cloud of white light floated out. Its arrival caused a tsunami of cheers from otherworldly creatures, a treatment that even the prince could not enjoy.
The Eternal Emperor roared, "That's the leader! Offensive! Victory lies ahead! ”
The necromantic army also emitted cascading whistling, colliding violently with the waves of otherworldly creatures.
Leibniz didn't think much about it, and at the sound of an order, he stood at the top of the tower and carried his exclusive weapon, the magic cannon "Cry of the Dead!! Driven by the Necromantic King, the Dark Elemental Magic Bullet splashed wantonly, like a chain of black pearls, spanning a distance of hundreds of meters in mid-air, and flung towards the floating leader! Sub-artifact-level lethality, it can definitely cause damage to the leader!
As a result, the chain of magic passed directly through the leader's body, as if the leader did not exist in this world at all, or was just an illusion, and no one could interfere. Is it the "voice of the dead" that is not lethal? No, all the otherworldly creatures that were swept away were killed on the spot, how could the leader be unharmed?!
There was no room for hesitation on the battlefield, Leibniz was not discouraged, and the core of the magic cannon accumulated energy, ready to release [Death Ripple: Ruthless Heart]. As long as the leader is killed, the war can be over.
Then another wormhole appeared in front of the leader.
Leibniz, who was squinting at the aim, lowered the barrel in surprise. He saw a man standing in the wormhole, with the same color as him as silver and gray as metal, with the same face as he had a slightly thin face, as strong as him, and like him, with neatly combed hair. If there is any difference, it is that the other party has taken off his military uniform, and there is no sharpness in his eyes, and there is only wordless indifference.
It was a strange self.
Why...... Will you see another self?
The other Leibniz glanced at this side and began to talk to the leader, who seemed to respond. Because the battlefield was too chaotic, the soul force field was not evenly covered, and Leibniz couldn't hear the conversation between the two men at all. He thought it was ridiculous. He did stand here, confronting otherworldly creatures, so who was talking to the leader?
"Kill it." He gritted his teeth.
Under his command, Immaculate Hate forcibly used his body to break a gap in the waves, and approached the wormhole with difficulty. Such an onslaught was not Leibniz's style of command, not to mention the wide range of uses that the Flawless Hate really shouldn't be wasted in white-knuckle combat, but Leibniz had no big picture in mind. He must solve the mystery, and even the Emperor cannot stop him.
The new wormhole was quickly closed, and the leader turned and flew away, returning to the Atlas from the original wormhole. After the leader left, the otherworldly creatures began to retreat, so Leibniz was able to get to the right place (it looks like his charge worked). Above the corpse, a small mechanism reflects the light, and when it is picked up, it reads "Empire of Twilight • Fermat".
The campaign ended inexplicably. No, it's not just the battle, after a few sporadic skirmishes, the entire "doomsday encounter" has come to an end, as if the otherworldly creatures are running out of stamina. Although everyone thought it was the work of the necromantic creatures, Leibniz knew that it was not. It was the leaders who decided to cease the war.
Why did the leaders stop fighting?
His purpose was achieved.
What is his purpose?
His goal was to come to the world of Qiankun, and then open a wormhole to meet another Leibniz.
Thinking of this, Leibniz was almost in despair after that. In order to prove that this was just his illusion, he privately asked two friends to confirm, and found that because of the angle, everyone could only see the leader opening the wormhole, but they couldn't see what the leader was doing. Leibniz could only conceal the truth and torment his soul with this secret. He felt that the "Otherworldly Confrontation" was a conspiracy, and the Qiankun World was only a part of the conspiracy, and everyone was used. Does war still make sense? If the fight continues, will the Qiankun world get freedom, or death?
The inability to share the pain with others was so great that it snowballed and crushed Leibniz. He reported to the Eternal Emperor that he had lost the will to fight and was no longer worthy to be the Necromantic King. The Eternal Emperor expressed his understanding and relieved Leibniz of his military power, but did not deprive him of his royal power, but only let him go to the rear to rest and strive to adjust his mood as soon as possible.
Soon after Leibniz left the front, he learned that the "Doomsday Confrontation" was over, and he thought to himself, since the world is at peace, why don't you concentrate on the mystery, maybe you can find something? He left his homeland with a tired soul and went into hiding to do research. When he saw the light of day again, he found that the Eternal Emperor had fallen under siege by the rest of the gods, and the necromantic camp no longer existed.
He became alone.
He fell into deep self-remorse. How nice it would have been if he hadn't left! At least he can die next to his comrades! At least he will be worthy of his soul until the last moment of his life, and he can say in a loud voice: "I died to defend my gods, and my soul is glorious and glorious!" ”
Open your eyes and the world changes dramatically. Everything became yesterday, but the wish did not come true. I still want to see my parents, and I want to walk on the beach; I still want to see that person again, and there is still a question left in my heart. Come back, I don't believe things have changed......
…………
The far-reaching memories made the two of them like worms in amber, and even their souls fell into sorrow and could not move.
"When he opened the portal just now, did you see the other side of the door?"
"No, Your Majesty."
"yes...... There were no witnesses other than me, and it was as if I had imagined it. Thankfully, I have proof. I picked up a gadget that day, and even though I didn't have it with me, I drew a diagram of its structure. ”
Leibniz pulled a squarely folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Fermat. When Fermat opened it, he exclaimed, "This is indeed a miniature power furnace I designed!" Hey, what about me, it was still there just now, nerd, did you see it? ”
"It has fallen in the past and was picked up by my previous self. It's a clue, so I've been keeping an eye on the Twilight Empire. Truth be told, the reason why I invited you to Steel City is not because of your skills, but because of the relationship between you and the leaders. As you can see, the leader appears to you and takes the Teleporter. ”
"Ah, that's right." When Fermat heard the truth, he didn't get angry or show embarrassment, but scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "I'll just say, my skill level is so low, why did you invite me!" Now I'm comforted. Your Majesty's vision can't be so bad. ”
(Strom: "It's 'peace of mind,' not 'comfort.'") ”)
"In fact, during the time I have been in contact with you, I have gradually discovered that you are a material that can be made, and you are also qualified to come to the steel city. But that's all a side story, so let's get back to the topic. The leader took the brand new 'teleporter', he could have taken it and left, why would he give you a tattered one? I think there's a clue to that. ”
"You mean, fix it?"
"Yes, I suspect there's a set point in time. As long as you go to that point in time, the truth will come out. ”
The three of them hurried back to Lab 02.
Tim frowned, "Isn't the meeting over?" The rest of the time should be at my disposal! ”
"Don't worry, you won't be wasting your time. You see. Leibniz handed over the "teleporter".
"It's only been a few minutes, how did you toss? It's almost in tatters, and it's clear that its useful life will end at any moment, so I might as well make a new one instead of repairing it! ”
Seeing that Tim Mason was about to roll up his sleeves and fix it, Leibniz immediately stopped: "You use isotope analysis first and see how long it lasts." ”
"I only made it yesterday, how could I not know how long it would last?"
Complaining and complaining, Taim still put the "teleporter" into the machine to scan, and after seeing the results, he looked up in amazement: "Ten million...... Eighty-six million years, exactly? …… The machine is broken? ”
Without waiting for Leibniz to respond, he hurriedly picked up the things at hand, scanned them one by one, and then his head was covered with sweat, and his speech was out of voice: "The machine ...... The machine is not faulty! Eighty-six million years indeed!! Tell me, did it work successfully and then teleport to the past?! ”
"Looks like so."
"Ahh Banzai! Banzai! My research was a success! Tyme jumped up and tore at his clothes, ecstatic.
"Slow down, Tem, calm down. The Teleporter is a return to the past, but no one knows if we can change the past through it. If you can only jump to the timeline of a parallel world and not interfere with the timeline of this world, then it is pointless, isn't it? ”
"Yes, you're right, otherwise, I would have seen me from the future. I'll calm down. Whew, whew! Tame took a few deep breaths, but his eyes were still hot, and he took Leibniz's hand: "Tell me, how did you find it?" ”
Soon, Tim understood what had happened, and he muttered for a while, "According to you, the leader has been back and forth between two points in time, which shows that he can interfere with the timeline. ”
But he said, 'history cannot be changed'. He appeared in the first 'Doomsday Encounter', but he knew that the second 'Doomsday Encounter' was definitely from the future, and he couldn't interfere with the timeline. ”
"Maybe it's just a pretext. After all, every time I apply for funding, you have a lot of excuses. ”
"Ahem, let's speed up the progress and continue the research."
