Chapter 245: Walking in the Gap of History
"Your body?"
Hearing this, Rod couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and asked curiously. In the face of Rod's inquiry, Alice nodded slightly, and then continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty. When chaos was raging, I moved the library to the source of the fire, barely escaping the erosion of chaos. But I'm not sure if the Tinder Source at that time was capable of withstanding the attack of Chaos. In order to ensure that my strength would not be eroded or even assimilated by chaos, I separated my soul from my body, and hid my body in the gap of history. In front of you, my soul has only a small fraction of the power. In this way, even if the source of the fire is breached, I am sure that I will survive. But ..............."
At this, Alice paused.
ββ¦β¦β¦ However, due to uncertain factors, I had to expend too much effort in the declaration of my real name. As a result, my connection with my body has gradually weakened, and even if I want to return to my body now, it is not as fast as before. Moreover, your majesty, history is a process of accumulation, and the gap between my body has long been buried in the depths of the past through the accumulation of history, and there is no way to find my body in a short period of time with my strength alone. β
"What can I do?"
Hearing Alice's words, Rod couldn't help but ask. It's not that he couldn't understand what Alice meant. For example, Alice's body has an important password, which she writes down on a newspaper and stuffs it into a pile of newspapers to avoid detection. But time was advancing, and as the days passed, newspapers filled the room, which made Alice a little unable to find the newspaper she needed in the first place. But......... Rhodes didn't think he could do anything about it.
"Your Majesty, you are the Dragon of the Void, and you have a sense of us as dependents. Therefore, I want to use your strength to re-enter the gap in history and find my body. Now I don't even have the strength to fight, so I have to ask for your strength. β
"No problem."
Hearing Alice's words, Rod nodded without hesitation. Rhodes had no doubts about her request, and he didn't need to hesitate. Since this is a necessary step, then Rhodes will not say anything more, for the commission of Alice, one of the six pillar demon gods, in Rhodes's opinion, is also a task, and as a player, is there a reason to turn a blind eye to the task at hand? There may be some problems in the mission, but it's good to be flexible when the time comes. Hasn't this been how you've been here all along?
"So, what do I need to do?"
Hearing Rod's hearty answer, Alice opened her eyes slightly with surprise and curiosity, glanced at Rod, and then quickly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, but soon regained her original calm.
"It's simple, Your Majesty."
said. Alice held out her hand.
"I'll look for an approximate period of time in history, and you'll need to sense my soul fluctuations from it. And find my body. After that, my soul will remerge with my body and awaken. In this way, I will be able to regain my original intact strength. β
Hearing Alice's answer, Rhodes nodded. Then he took Alice's outstretched hand.
"The last thing to remind you is that Your Majesty, history is something that has already existed and has happened, and we can peep into it. Hidden in it, but never changeable. No matter how tragic it was, it was something that already existed and was decided. What we have built up through countless pasts is our reality........."
That's the end of Alice's words.
The next moment, the things in front of Rhodes' eyes changed drastically, the heavy library that was originally in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by boundless darkness, and floating in the darkness, layers of light curtains, looking carefully, those light curtains were like images with too much brightness, and only a figure could be vaguely seen flickering on the bright light curtain, but it was not clear what the impact was. Obviously there was no movement, and countless light curtains flashed past him like shooting stars, as if sitting on a high-speed train and watching the scenery flashing from both sides. Soon, the surrounding points of light merged to form a dazzling white glowβββ and in the next moment, the scene suddenly changed.
The air was filled with the smell of anxiety and blood, and Rhodes stood on the metal wall, in front of him the scorched earth, and as far as the eye could see, there were people desperately fleeing, and the sky in the distance took on an unpleasant, distorted and muddy color. At the same time, a roar erupted.
Rhodes looked up and saw several beams of iridescent light pierce the sky, bursting out of the city wall not far behind him, blasting into the disgusting twist in the distance. Soon, a dazzling white light erupted, as if forcibly changing the color of the entire world. For a moment, even Rod's eyes were left with a white glow. But it was only an illusion, and in an instant the white glow vanished, and then everything seemed to calm down here. However, looking up, it can be seen that the originally distorted existence in the distance seems to have suffered a lot of damage as a result, and it has begun to gradually retreat. At the same time, a voice that Rhodes was no longer familiar with sounded.
"Hurry up, the evacuation of the crowd can no longer be delayed!"
Celia?
Hearing this voice, Rod looked into the air curiously, and sure enough, he saw the figure of the war angel in the sky, and Celia, who appeared next to Rhodes on weekdays, was suspended there at the moment, loudly commanding her soldiers to arrange the evacuation of those who had taken refuge, she held the holy sword of light in one hand, and looked vigilantly ahead. Not far ahead, many people could still be seen running towards the city behind Rhodes in a panic. And Rhodes could clearly see that not far behind these people, a pitch-black, muddy-like existence was slowly and hard moving forward. When I looked up, I could see that the sky was starting to twist and distort like a tattered plastic sheet. Exhibits unsettling qualities.
This is the battle between the Void Realm and Chaos before?
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rhodes's eyes widened with curiosity, to be honest, he had a lot of questions about the previous battle. For example, the combat power of Chaos, this is a point that Rhodes has always been very puzzled about, because according to his own personal experience. In the middle of the game, hundreds of layers of chaos descended into the bottomless abyss, and they were not able to do anything. If it were these demon gods, I'm afraid it would be even more so. But even they were either injured or died tragically in this battle, which really made Rhodes's understanding of Chaos' combat power skewed. But now, Rhodes finally has the opportunity to see the power of Chaos with his own eyes.
But alas, it's too late.
Looking at the fleeing people, Rhodes shook his head, although the chaos behind them seemed slow, but it was just a look, the overwhelming black mud was dozens of meters high. Almost half of the sky was covered, and in this state, the escape of those men was nothing more than a pointless last resistance.
"It's too late, close the drawbridge!"
Celia also seemed to understand this very well, and after frowning and glancing at the people not far away, the War Angel waved the lightsaber in his hand and gave the order. And with her command. White steam erupted, and the metal bridge that had been used to connect the city to the land began to slowly recycle. And see this scene. The people became more and more frightened, they cried and ran forward, the mother with the child raised in her hand, and the old man pulled his children and grandchildren, desperately trying to squeeze onto the bridge. But even so, the shrinking metal bridge has no intention of stopping at all. At the same time. The city, which had been suspended above the ground, began to rise gradually. Those who didn't have time to enter the city stood on the shrinking bridge, clinging to the only pillar they had in front of them. But even so, accompanied by screams and shouts, people still fell from the sky from time to time, at the same time. The chaos that came from all directions was like an endless tsunami, completely engulfing the people who stood still, looking desperately at the city that had already flown up.
"The 13th War Zone has completely fallen, and the second set of plans has been launched!"
Celia's voice sounded in Rod's ears again, and the battle angel did not have the slightest expression on her face at this moment, she didn't even glance in the direction where the tens of thousands of dead people were, but quickly gave the order. With her command, the metal walls began to tremble, and a metal turret, the size of a three-story building, stretched out from it, aiming at the Sea of Chaos below.
"Fire!"
Once again, a deafening roar mixed with snow-white dazzling brilliance tore through the entire world in front of Rod's eyes.
That's chaos?
Everything that had happened before was completely gone, replaced by a return to the emptiness and darkness that had existed before. But Rod did not come back to his senses immediately, on the contrary, he frowned. Thinking carefully and comparing the chaos I saw, to be honest, it looked like it was no different from the chaos I encountered as a player. I couldn't see any difference at all, but I didn't know what Lu Dao was, and while seeing the darkness, Rod felt very uncomfortable. Just by seeing it, there is an illusion that your body is being eroded everywhere. It's a feeling I've never felt like I've ever felt as a player. It is not a visual stimulation of the senses through a disgusting form, or some unacceptable appearance, but an impulse that comes from the depths of the heart, backwards from the senses.
Moreover, although both sides are disasters of the "natural disaster" level, compared to what he is in front of, Rhodes feels that the chaotic attack he encounters in the game is only a tsunami at bestβββ it may not be able to resist, but it is not completely unresistible. If you run fast enough to evacuate to a place like a mountain, it's not a dead end. But compared to it, the chaos I saw before was more like a natural disaster that was swallowed by a black hole and the entire planet was about to be destroyed. It was the most terrifying disaster you couldn't escape no matter where you hid.
Just as Rod was thinking, the landscape in front of him changed again. (To be continued......)
