"If he is not stopped, theoretically speaking, Prometheus would not stop growing. It would eventually destroy the entire universe, then break through the dimensions and head for the entire multiverse. At that time, Prometheus will become the supreme, top-notch life form, just like the legendary gods in Northern Europe. " Agladis said heavily, "Prometheus will become the terminator of this multiverse. It will end his life and his future. End, everything! "
Chapter 363 - Rule (II)
"It is a form of life that exists in the form of energy. Although our will can penetrate into outer space, we are unable to attack it. "Until an accident happens …" Agladis closed her eyes and said, "On this planet, there were many civilizations. In the fourth generation of civilization, which was a technological civilization represented by the Atlantis, this planet was able to give off an incomparable life force. Technology, life, culture and art have all reached unprecedented heights. "
"Zero, you can't imagine that the Atlantis could discover the secrets of energy faster than you."
A blue ocean appeared before Zero's eyes. The golden sun slowly rose above the sea level. Against the blue sky and white clouds, a floating island on the sea level seemed so spectacular. As the screen zoomed in, it was as if Zero was standing in the clouds. The floating island had mountains suspended in the air, and waterfalls flowed down from the mountains, creating rainbow-colored bridges as the water energy surged in the air.
But on the main island, there were countless magnificent cities. One of the largest cities was located in the center of the island. It had towering palaces and a variety of ancient buildings that were distributed around the island for the first time. In the middle of the city stood a tall statue of a warrior. The statue held up a perfect hexagonal crystal that flickered with energy and was constantly being transported to all parts of the city.
From the air, one could see that the city was covered with a clear energy network, but the entire city didn't have any buildings that resembled power stations. All the energy on this floating island comes from nature.
"This is?" Zero asked, but he had already guessed the answer.
"The main city of Atlantis, the Sun Capital." With a wave of his hand, the scene zoomed in. On this vast expanse of land were parked the six-winged ships that Zero had seen in the great crevices.
Agladis said, "They are undoubtedly fortunate to be human beings of this civilization. After discovering the mysteries of energy, the Atlantis separated the energy from the light source and applied it to various domains. They themselves had evolved to a point where they were only one step away from perfection. This allowed the Atlantis to have the ability and conditions to explore the mysteries of the universe. However, during the exploration, one of the flying ships caught Prometheus's attention. After traversing billions of light years of distance, Prometheus came to the Milky Way where we are and accurately headed towards Earth. "
The scene changed again. Countless Six-Winged Boats were rising into the sky. There were also countless small flying ships, the Atlantis had gathered all their elites and welcomed them in the sky. Above the sky, the blue sky disappeared. What replaced it was a seemingly endless darkness, a cloud pillar that was continuously spinning like a drill, thrusting towards the ground from outer space. Every cloud pillar was surrounded by numerous star like explosion spots, it was the Atlantis warriors who were facing the huge threat from outer space!
This was a magnificent war, hundreds of millions against one. However, the larger side didn't have an overwhelming advantage. Prometheus split out from his body a floating battleship sized energy bug, they rushed towards the Atlantis warriors. Every minute and every second, there would be balls of fire exploding in the sky, and what followed were either the wrecked airships or the constantly disappearing energy bugs.
However, the floating ship was limited, the energy bugs were limitless in Prometheus's eyes. Thus, as time passed, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Prometheus who was like an alien demon.
The scene suddenly disappeared, leaving him gasping for breath. That indescribably valiant battle caused him to feel a deep shock, from his soul to his body. Su Yun looked at Agladis and asked, "What was the result?"
"Isn't it obvious that you're still standing here?" Even though Agladis was smiling, his smile was filled with grief. "At the end of the war, even though we won, we paid a terrible price. In this war, Prometheus made two mistakes. One is that it underestimates the technology and determination of the Atlantis. I have to say, they are the most outstanding special forces that I have ever seen. Smart, brave, strong and unafraid of sacrifice. In order for the life forms to continue, they had sacrificed the entire civilization, forcing Prometheus into a desperate situation. In desperation, Prometheus had descended onto this planet and planned to use his main body's absolute advantage to destroy the Atlantis in one go. This was the second mistake he made. "
Agladis said proudly, "Its arrival gave me a chance to fight. Even if Prometheus swept across the universe for billions of years, he would still have to stay in the prison that I specially built for it, from the last civilization until now. "
In the darkness of the world, light suddenly appeared. Zero saw the leaping earthfire. They were burning magma. Magma flowed, thousands of miles away in the center of the earth, in a special kind of structure, as if it were some kind of energy loop. In the middle of the energy circuit was a black coloured beast. It exuded a pitch-black aura, and its six black wings drooped powerlessly. As if it had sensed the existence of zero, it raised its head towards it and let out a soundless roar.
"Prometheus, this is its main body. I imprisoned it in the earth's core and used special energy lines to form a prison. It will be trapped for tens of thousands of years. " Agladis said blandly. Even though her tone was calm, it was enough to let Ling Ming understand that in order to trap this Star Beast that could rule the universe, Earth had paid a heavy price of a civilization ending.
Agladis said helplessly: "I had thought that I could still trap Prometheus for more time. This way, perhaps through communicating with other wills, I would find a way to completely eliminate it. It will also give you more time to grow. Zero, you who are now living and reproducing on Earth are the organisms that I created using the cells left behind in the Atlantis. I only used the most basic of cell fragments, and took the inheritance of the Atlantis. Even with the technology of the Atlantis, you guys are unable to deal with Prometheus. My original intention was to let you guys develop freely and see if you can develop different civilizations. But in the end, you are following the same path as the Atlantis, and the level of technology is even higher than theirs by several levels. "
"Your usage of energy can only be described as crude, but even so, I do not wish to interfere. I still have hope, but that meteor shower that changed the entire planet also changed my decision. " Agladis's tone carried a hint of regret as he said: "The arrival of the great calamity, the impact of the meteor shower, had caused a change in the planet's physical environment. Although Prometheus was still in the cell, he was missing a corner of the cell. This allowed it to spread a fragment of its cells through the hole, and caused a crazy change to animals and plants. By the time I found out, it was already too late. "
Su Ming's eyes widened as she cried out involuntarily: "Are you saying that all the metamorph were affected by Prometheus?"
"That's right. Otherwise, why would the gentlest animal become a berserk beast after it mutated?" It was the memory imprint he inherited from Prometheus. In Prometheus's life, destruction was the only theme. Other than this, nothing else is allowed! "
Agladis continued to speak: "Prometheus's objective is very simple. It is to create intelligent life's bodies other than humans, so that it can resist the people I create. Then, it will establish a power that can save it from its prison. See that King of living corpse outside? They are called True King. There are six monsters like them other than Lilith. "
"In order to stop Prometheus, I had no
choice but to intervene. "Why would a capable person appear?" Agladis pointed at herself and said, "I was the one who untied the shackles on your bodies. Otherwise, you all would not have been able to fight against Prometheus's great army of monsters."
The appearance of those who were capable had always been a mystery to the academic world. It was as if they had suddenly appeared in a night's time. Although the first few capable people only touched upon the basics, it was precisely because of their appearance that there were now so many high rank powerhouse s. However, no one knew where the ability came from. Although scholars had obtained the genetic specimens of the first generation espers, they found that the gene fragments that belonged to them didn't have any inheritance at all. It was as if they had suddenly appeared, like a gift from heaven.
And now, from Agladis's words, Zero finally knew the truth.
At the end of the day, the competition between the ability users and metamorph, or even the foreign races with intelligence, was the competition between Agladis and her. As for who the final victor was, that was still an unknown.
"But then again, although the Atlantis was destroyed, they still left behind a very rich heritage. One of them is the existence you humans call god. " Agladis said: "In the later stages of the war, in order to deal with Prometheus, the scholars in the Atlantis decided to invent a perfect weapon, that is, a god. After leaving behind countless failures, the god who was infinitely close to completion didn't even have time to start before the war ended. The destruction of civilization, the fall of the floating islands and the City of the Sun, buried the gods in the abyss. Until you found out that the current you are not as good at science and technology as the Atlantis, but are good at exploration and discovery. You may not be able to fully activate God, but you have found a way to split it up and plant it in humans, allowing it to inherit some of its abilities. That's you, the origin of the thirteen artificial gods' plans. "
"Zero, your Right Eye of God is one of the most valuable things in this inheritance. The creators of the most advanced technology in Atlantis possess the ability that would even shock me. It's just that you are still unable to unlock the shackles of your ability. Now, I will unlock all of your shackles and let you understand the power that will be generated after the combination of the God's right eye and my power. " Agladis paused for a while, before continuing: "But before that, you must remember the third thing. The origin of the universe was energy, and the highest level of manifestation of energy … It's the rules! "
Chapter 364 - Positions
"Water flows low, the sun rises from the east, and the deer live in the water. Even the national legal family rules are the embodiment of these rules. " Agladis spoke in a sincere tone, "Prometheus has descended to this planet. However, what it doesn't know is that this planet is my home ground, and nothing is not the manifestation of the law. I had a chance to trap it, within the rules I had specifically set for it. Where the rules came from, they also came from energy. "You have to understand that the source of energy in the universe is energy, but only by knowing how to make rules can you truly say that you have learned how to use energy."
"If the energy is a stone axe, then the rule is a high speed heavy artillery, or even a particle cannon or a satellite cannon. They were both weapons, but in terms of power, they were clearly superior. I can't tell you how to grasp the rules, because you can only truly grasp the power of the rules by relying on yourself to explore and search for them. " After Agladis said this, she smiled and said, "Alright, the theory class is over. "Next up, I'll give you another practice lesson."
With that, Agladis turned and left.
Zero called out to him, "You... Who exactly is it? "
Agladis smiled and said: "I am me, I am Agladis, that is my name. Of course, you all are more used to calling me Earth. "
He had already guessed that Agladis would not be an ordinary will, but he had never thought that he would actually be talking to the will of the planet that lived on it.
The living room of Eva's house was silent, only the sound of zero could be heard.
"That's right, Agladis told me that the origin of energy in the universe is energy, and the highest level of energy is rules. This is what I want to tell you as well. Hopefully, it will allow you to take less detours on the road of evolution. " With these words as her conclusion, she looked at the other three.
Eva was the first to break the silence: "So that's how it is, although I can't immediately comprehend it, but at least I know the direction of evolution. This was also the reason why experts with pseudo-domain were able to far surpass experts of the same cultivation level. It was because they had mastered the rules. Although it was an incomplete rule, the rule was still the rule. If we are to fight in the home ground of someone who possesses the ability to follow the rules, it is not unexplainable for us to be unable to defeat them. "
Su nodded her head, she also agreed with Eva's words. As someone who was proficient in Fighting Domain, Su was a swordsman who preferred close-combat. The high level job of Berserker was the Destroyer, and Su had already reached the critical point of levelling up. But even before today, she still believed that regardless of whether it was the Berserker or the Destroyer, everything was based on power. Now she understood that power was also a type of energy.
Human resources were sometimes poor, but they could never be exhausted.
Feng sat cross-legged on the sofa and said, "You just said that Agladis is the will of Earth, and he emphasized that it was his name. If that was the case, Prometheus was also the will of a certain planet, then in the universe, did he have the will of a few other planets? If there is, we think we have the planet and the world. However, there was actually another, larger world beyond this one. "In the eyes of these planets, everything we do now is like an ant to a human, but it has no meaning at all."
Su Yun looked at Feng surprisingly. This guy rarely said such words that saved his life. Yes, there is a world beyond the world, and a universe beyond the universe. Planets have their own will, so it's hard to guarantee that the universe won't have the same will. Thinking about it this way, the human race had truly become minuscule.
Just as Feng had said, in the eyes of these great wills, what humans were doing right now was no different from ants.
Then, what was the point in struggling?
Zero shook his head, as if he was trying to throw these thoughts out of his mind. At this time, Su spoke up from the side: "How can there be no meaning? In the eyes of those great wills, we may be nothing more than a farce. But we are humans, not those huge wills, so for us, survival is the meaning of everything! "
Eva added: "The people of the East have a philosophy that allows them to live in the present. Simply put, it was useless to think too high and too far. Just like the Summer Bug, the frog at the bottom of the well did not know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. But even so, the cicada uses its own life to sing for a whole summer and strives to leave its mark on the path of life. That is the meaning. "
Feng rubbed his nose, pointed at himself and asked: "Then am I a Xia Bug or a frog in the well?"
"You are neither." Su rolled her eyes and said, "To you, reproducing an animal that uses its lower body to think is the real meaning of your life right?"
Feng immediately jumped up to argue, while Su Yun and Eva turned their faces to the other side and snickered. In this small living room, it was filled with the sincerity of a comrade. Only in front of these people who could entrust their backs to each other could they laugh at each other without fear.
"So what do you plan to do next, Zero?" After a senseless argument with Feng, Su asked with a straight face. She was very grateful that Zero did not hide anything, it was not only Agladis's idea of the universe's origin and rules. More importantly, Zero did not hide his other identity from her.
God of Manmade!
These four words represented a taboo plan, and every single artificial god was a living legacy of civilization. To rev
eal his identity, that was undoubtedly the manifestation of trusting Su.
"We have many enemies. Eva once said that there's someone searching for us in the artificial god, in order to complete his so-called perfect plan. That man does not have the power of thirteen parts of his heart. He wants to be the perfect god of the world. But even so, he is still not our true enemy. " "Our real enemy is Prometheus. As long as we live on Earth, it will become the greatest enemy of all mankind. Of course, with our current power, we are not strong enough to resist planet-level wills. For us, starting with a company is a bit more practical. "
"Company? "What kind of company?" Eva asked.
Zero spread out his hands and said, "My idea is to set up a technology company. The early stages of the business will only involve weapon manufacturing. For now, in terms of starting funds and talent, because of the partnership between Black Rose Family, I don't think there will be much of a problem. The problem is, we have to find a foothold. What good idea do you have? "
The few of them started to discuss among themselves. Eva suddenly snapped her fingers and said: "Speaking of the stronghold, I feel that the two-tier base of the Cossack Empire is not bad. It was the living area of the former military base, and the facilities were generally well-built. And I know a few small generating sets that can function as usual with energy replenishment. Of course, if we want to use that place, there will be a lot of necessary modifications. "
Chapter 365 - The Will of the Planet
In the gigantic biochemical research facility under the Asgard, in Dr. Rafiel's room, the fat doctor was wearing a helmet that was filled with sensors. He, who was connected to the central brain, was staring at the countless of data on the screen. Dr. Rafiel's neural field was already thirty-five percent developed. In the old era, Dr. Rafiel was no different from a genius.
