Warlord 5

by Chen Ran

Berrien walked towards Arendt: "Second thing, you always think that I don't dare to kill you, right? Actually, you made a mistake. It's not that I don't dare to kill you, it's just that I don't want to waste my strength. But now you have done something stupid, you know why father sent Anna away. Filthy of the family? Don't joke around, Father only did it for you, you idiot with the right to formal inheritance. "

  While speaking, Berrien reached out and grabbed Arendt's arm.

  Berrien revealed a cruel smile, "If you go to hell, remember to apologize to Anna!"

  In the next moment, over a million volts of electricity rushed into Arendt's body, and Arendt's shrill scream instantly sounded out in the room. The originally dark house suddenly lit up with lights from all the windows. Then came the disorderly sound of footsteps, which disturbed the peace of the night.

  The night was long and short. Time is fair, not to be transferred by human will. In the night, the joyous ones hope to arrive late in the day; the painful ones wish for the night to end early. There was only time, only time. It persevered on its own path, taking seconds as a unit to take the next step with fairness. The night turned into day, announcing the arrival of yet another day.

  It was still early in the morning, and the Asgard was quiet. After last night's hubbub, even the most prosperous city would feel an inexplicable sense of emptiness. The first rays of sunlight fell on the graveyard on the eastern outskirts of the city as the holographic electronic panels in the sky calculated the rising sun.

  The Hero's Graveyard was a cemetery planned by the Asgard. It was used as a memorial to the heroes who had made great contributions to the city, allowing them to own a holy land of quiet and deep sleep.

  In this cemetery, rows of metal tombstones were erected. The tombstone was carved with great names in Gothic English, names that might have been soldiers or generals. Regardless of their identity, without exception, they had sacrificed everything, including their lives, for the city of Asgard!

  It was still early in the morning when a faint figure appeared on the smooth path of the cemetery. He held a bouquet of wildflowers in his hand, and his eyes swept over the gravestones. In the end, he stopped and divided the flowers into three bunches and placed them in front of the three tombstones.

  Three tombstones, three names, from left to right were Johnny, Agatha, and Ma Pei.

  He sat down, looked at the tombstone and said, "Are you used to your new home? "My friends."

  Sunlight shone on Zero's handsome face. With a smile as light as smoke, he said, "I'm really sorry. I almost had to accompany you. But I did come back, and forgive my selfishness, but I felt that living could do more than dying. So let me live a little longer, and let me do something more meaningful. When that day comes, we'll meet you guys again. "

  Just like this, Zero sat in front of the three tombstones and softly told them some things. He talked about a lot of things, from last night's banquet to his dream, as if he could tell Agatha and the others about him if he were to talk about it.

  "Dreams. Do you still remember, Agatha, that night in the wilderness, you asked me what my dream was? I told you I wanted to destroy the world. Only by destroying this world could the rules be reformulated. Now that I think about it, I'm too extreme. So I made some changes. I wanted to change the world. It allows the wife to be at ease while waiting for the husband to return, the child to live happily with his or her family members, the elderly to not have to work hard to allow their children to support themselves, and the men to not have to fight against metamorph s in order to gain the necessary survival … " Zero smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, then my dream is a bit wrong, and I seem to have overestimated my own abilities. "But I'm willing to try, even if I fail in the end. I want to try and create this world."

  "This is not only my dream, it is also the dream of most people. "This way, the burden on your shoulders will be a bit heavy." He looked at the sky and felt a lot more relaxed after telling Agatha and the others everything that had happened.

  He suddenly had a thought and a smile naturally appeared on his face.

  "If it's a heavy burden, why don't we find a few more people to carry it with us?"

  Feng's candid voice sounded from behind Ling Xiao, who did not turn back, and a moment later, Feng was seated beside him. Su also came, she was dressed in the Apocalypse Hammer's uniform, it was no longer as charming as the night before when he was wearing the formal attire, but instead had an additional valiance.

  Su also gathered some flowers and placed them in front of Agatha and the other two's tombstones.

  Feng looked at the tombstone and said, "Let those who are dead rest, those of us who are still alive, naturally need to find work. If you don't mind, we are willing to share the burden on captain's shoulders, but it's not free labor. "

  Su's ears trembled, she turned and cursed: "Vulgar."

  Feng laughed and said: "You don't need money to pick up girls to eat, this is called living, Su, do you understand?"

  Su scoffed, "You are just a slut waiting to die, and yet you still have the nerve to call it a life. I feel embarrassed for you."

  Feng did not mind, he just rolled his eyes and said: "As expected, we are people from two different worlds."

  He looked at Zero, saying, "Those words are back. What does the captain plan to do next?"

  "Prepare funds, talents, resources. Then we'll start a company, and we'll go our separate ways. Once the company has money, we can develop into a no-man's-land in the wilderness. "In short, exploring, occupying and reexploring!" Zero briefly explained his idea, and then said, "But before that, I have something I want to say to you. Let's go, I have already arranged for Eva to meet at her house for lunch, and also asked me to tell you guys some things. "

  "Perhaps, these things can help you avoid detours on the road of evolution." Zero said with a mysterious smile.

  On the holographic board, when the noon sun rose high up in the sky, the few of them appeared in Eva's house in the outskirts. Eva's house could not be considered small, it was just that the hall was not that spacious after four people were inside.

  On the small table in the living room, there was water everywhere. Eva was not like Biansi, who could casually entertain guests with wine that was hidden away. In turbulent times, fine wine was one of the most expensive luxury goods that not just anyone could bring out.

  The weather was hot, and Eva was wearing hot pants on her back. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, her bright and clean long legs making Feng stare at her courteously. However, Eva seemed to not have noticed at all, and lazily said to Su Yun: "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it, I'm really fast."

  During Eva's time on the expedition, she stayed in the laboratory to help Victor. This woman was extremely interested in the rebirth plan, and wholeheartedly focused on gene and biochemical research. She had a similar feeling to Victor. Today, he was called out for a meeting, but he was a bit absent-minded and seemed to be a bit impatient.

  Looking at the three people in the hall, he couldn't help but sigh. It was a small gain to think that he had come all the way here alone and now had his own companions, a laboratory and a "career" that was still being planned.

  He took a deep breath and looked at these three comrades who would be the core members of his team. He asked, "What do you think is the origin of the world? Or perhaps the universe itself?"

  This question, even the absent-minded Eva began to seriously consider it. Feng scratched her head and said: "This is kind of philosophical, to be honest, this is not my strong point."

  Su rolled his eyes and asked: "Do you have strong points?"

  Feng immediately jumped up and proudly said while trying his best to straighten his waist: "All the beauties that have slept with me know where my strength lies!"

  The comrade-in-arms in Zero's heart immediately disappeared. He shook his head with a headache and said, "I think we should be more serious."

  At this time, Eva said in a serious tone, "Sou
rce energy, do you mean energy?"

  With just one sentence, it caused Feng, whose face was full of arrogance, and even Su, who was grinding her teeth, to quieten down.

  Zero nodded, and said, "That's right, the universe's source is energy. The wind blows, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the waves rise, all of them are manifestations of energy activity. "

  Chapter 362 - Rule (I)

  "Captain, where did you learn of these things? Reading books? Or is it the central brain's database? " Feng asked.

  Su Yun shook her head: "That's not it, the one who told me was Agladis."

  "Agladis? Never heard of you, celebrity? " Feng was confused.

  It was not only Feng, but Su and Eva obviously didn't know who Agladis was either.

  "He's not famous, but almost everyone will know about him." After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let's put it this way. He can't be considered as a person, but rather as a projection of his will."

  Zero tapped the ground with his toe. "The will of this planet, yes, we prefer to call it Earth. Agladis, that's just his real name. "

  The living room was very quiet. Not only did Feng have a dumbstruck expression, even the other two women had their eyes wide open. They did not dare imagine that Zero had actually communicated with the will of the planet.

  "He was the one who told me about the origin of the universe, right inside Jodtenheim." The zero vision gradually became more profound, the thoughts returned to a certain moment.

  In Jodtenheim's world, when Zero Frequency died, Agladis used the restraint of having zero hearts to summon his will to live. But when she was about to leave, Agladis said to him, "Don't be in such a hurry. The time axis between the The World of Consciousness and the real world is different. You've been here for a hundred years and a thousand years, and in the real world you've done it in the blink of an eye. So first listen to me, and then I'll tell you the secrets of the universe. "

  Looking at the blank Zero, Agladis shook his head: "With your current state, even if you were to go back, you are still not Prometheus's opponent for that toy. I can awaken all the potential in your body, but you, who understand the origin of the universe, are still unable to control the power of light. So you, let me give you a theoretical lesson first. "

  With a wave of his hand, a resplendent galaxy appeared within the The World of Consciousness, and a painting of the boundless universe appeared in front of Zero's eyes. The sight of countless planets forming together had deeply shaken Zero's mind. In this huge space of the universe, Zero could no longer see where Earth was. It was as if what was happening above it was no longer important.

  It was just like humans and ants. No matter how important an event occurred in the country of ants, it was completely beneath the contempt of humans.

  "I very much appreciate the philosophy of the Orientals. They will describe what you are thinking in terms of a drop in the ocean." Agladis stood between the stars of the universe and said, "Just like what you can see now, the universe is so vast, it almost has no boundaries. And you humans have long proposed the theory of a pluralistic universe, which represents an infinite world. "

  "But …" Agladis waved her hand, and the scene in front of her eyes started to recede.

  The stars that filled the universe continued to converge at one point and eventually disappeared into nothingness, so that all that remained before the eyes of zero was darkness.

  Endless darkness.

  "What you saw just now was the post-universe era, and now, it's the dark period of the universe, also known as the pre-universe era." Following Agladis's words, a ball of light appeared in the darkness. The light began to dissipate again, as if it was bound by something. It could only extend to a certain extent before stopping, forming an oval-shaped cloud.

  "Tell me, Zero, what are these things?" Agladis asked softly.

  Using all of his thoughts to sense it, he suddenly felt an active energy. They were brimming with vitality, and each second, they would undergo a sudden burst of energy that exceeded that of a nuclear explosion. Without a doubt, this was a mass of terrifying explosive energy. At the same time, it was also an energy filled with vitality.

  "Is it energy?" Zero blurted out.

  Agladis nodded, "That's right. The first form of the universe is energy. Remember, zero, energy is the source of everything. And the physical forms of planets, and even life, sand, trees, mountains, rivers, these are all just another manifestation of energy. "

  These words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Zero's ears and echoed for a long time. He had a feeling that Aglandis was trying to say something, but he could not figure out what it was. He only had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Zero knew that when this feeling became clear, his understanding of the world would reach a different level.

  Pointing at the light cloud, Agladis said, "Zero, you have to remember another thing. There is no eternity in this world, and the universe also has no eternity. Everything was changing. Every minute and every second was different. It was like a leaf, seemingly unchanged, but the molecules within the leaf were constantly changing. Do not be fooled by the appearance of things, find the law of change and master it, you will be invincible. "

  Zero suddenly jolted, feeling ecstatic in his heart. Agladis's words opened the door to another palace for him. In his career, an outstanding sniper would need to grasp every single change his opponent made, and calculate it accordingly. However, Agladis's words carried a higher meaning. The change was no longer limited to the opponent, but concerned the environment, the light rays and even the most fundamental laws.

  A change in energy!

  Following Agladis's words, the oval shaped light cloud in the universe began to change. Within the uniform cloud of light, a little bit of bright light exploded. Pointing to the light, Agladis said: "Did you see that? That is the change in the universe. In the pre-universe era, all the energy was bound together. But energy is always in flux, and when one of these singularities has changed as explosively as it is now, the balance will break, just like this. "

  In the eyes of zero, it was a replay of the Big Bang he had seen in the Star Pattern Diagram. Only when Agladis started explaining, did Zero understand the true meaning of it.

  "After the explosion, the energy expanded infinitely and looked for a more stable form in the void. Thus, matter is produced, which is the planet. " Agladis waved her hand, and the nebula diagram of the Milky Way appeared in front of Zero. One of the sky-blue stars was particularly eye-catching, because it was the Earth.

  The image was suddenly caught up in a deep sea. The sea was undergoing great evolution, from the appearance of a single cell organism to the appearance of a first generation sea creature. The evolution did not stop, meaning that energy never stopped for a moment.

  "What is the pinnacle of matter? As you can see, zero is life! " Agladis said solemnly, "Life is a miracle in the entire universe. It is another sublimation of energy turning into matter. And you, who have a higher level of intelligence than animals, and a sense of independence. "Humans, are the matter of the planet's ascension again."

  "Zero, you are unique. Even if there are other intelligent beings in the wide universe, you are the only ones who can be called humans in the entire multiverse. You are fragile and sometimes filthy. However, it cannot be denied that you are a race that is good at miracles. Within your race, there are many people who possess a brilliance that radiates light and heat. It is precisely because of the existence of such people that humans can persist until today, and not be eliminated by time like other species. " Agladis said in a serious tone, "You could even be called the most outstanding creations. The pace of evolution has never stopped. Even though civilization has changed, you all still work hard to survive. You all represent the highest level of material form. "

  "But every species has a natural enemy. Zero, have you ever thought about whether planets also have natural enemies? "

  "A natural enemy?" Zero was at a loss. What would
the planet's natural enemy be?

  Suddenly, he thought of the beast he had seen in the Star Pattern Sacred Array.

  Just like a gigantic darkness, Star Beast s that eat the energy of planets!

  "Yes, that's it. Prometheus, the mortal enemy of the planet and even the entire universe. "

  Agladis spoke lightly, her tone filled with deep sorrow. Behind him, the scene once again zoomed in, returning to the endless void of the universe. In the depths of the void appeared a dark, cloud-like darkness. It approached from afar, allowing Zero to see its entirety.

  It was like a changing thundercloud, with red snakes crisscrossing each other in the clouds. The edges of the cloud split into countless squirming black pillars, like the tentacles of the Star Beast. In the middle of the cloud, there were six fan-shaped, rhombus-shaped red lights that looked like the eyes of Star Beast s. These six star eyes were filled with a berserk and destructive aura, causing Zero to tremble with fear.

  It was pure brutality, no hate, no anger, no emotion in it. It simply destroys all the planets it sees, all the planets it passes through.

  Painting changed again and again, and in front of Zero, countless images began to intersect. In every single image, there was the scene of Prometheus wreaking havoc on a certain planet, with all sorts of strange lifeforms that one had never seen before using different methods to fight against this guest from outside this world. And all the planets that Prometheus had visited, had all become dust in the universe.

  "Prometheus, we only know that it came from an extremely distant nebula. However, we have no idea how it was formed or how much will it has. When it was discovered, several galaxies had already been destroyed by it. " Agladis's eyes were filled with helplessness, "We are a substance formed from energy, but Prometheus is the complete opposite. All we can say is that it was a mistake in the evolutionary chain, a loophole in the universe. It is a life form that exists in pure energy form, but it can reduce all matter to energy and feed it food, thus obtaining the nourishment for survival and the energy for evolution. "
