Chapter 4145 What if we can't repay so much light?
The grey deep sea, a moment ago.
"The thirtieth star..."
【Kuros】satisfiedly put away the thirtieth star he had collected.
He could be said to have exceeded expectations on this mission, but the greed in his eyes did not disappear; on the contrary, it became even stronger... It was like picking up money!
Mr. Fuzao's return on this investment is simply too high!
However, [Kuros] was not completely blinded by the fruits of victory, because the strength of [Microstar] was getting stronger and stronger... which made him feel troubled.
Let's fight five more... no, ten more Stars of Light, and then we'll leave—because Justin looked quite listless and seemed unlikely to last much longer.
But strangely, the coat of arms that Justin displayed became increasingly distinct.
"Could...could you let me leave...?"
Justin let out a weak cry, as if all his strength had been drained from his body. If he hadn't been carried by [Kuros] the whole time, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"Hang in there a little longer," [Kuros] said calmly. "Remember, you got paid."
Justin was furious. Taking money is one thing, but you can't treat people like dirt!
Just then, the surrounding silver flames flickered, and [Kuros] felt uneasy, staring intently into the darkness deep within the trench!
Justin felt a faint tremor coming from the seabed... and with the tremor, rocks on both sides of the trench began to peel off and fall.
"not good!"
[Kuros] cried out in alarm, and the silver flames he had released were extinguished in an instant—without any hesitation, [Kuros] grabbed Justin by the collar and retreated at breakneck speed!
This retreat was almost an all-out effort from [Kuros]!
However, at that moment, a huge black shadow pressed down from above, and [Kuros] immediately gasped.
MSI!
A super-large MSI!
A jellyfish-shaped creature, as large as a starship and radiating a dark bluish light, instantly extended its countless tentacles toward [Kuros]!
At the same time, the instant he was struck by that dark blue light, [Kuros] felt excruciating mental pain, his entire body as if injected with a neurotoxin, becoming numb and sluggish...
Kuros was shocked. He had long forgotten about the idea of taking down more stars... He quickly glanced at Justin in his hand, and then threw Justin away without hesitation!
For MSI, Justin is like a lighthouse!
The moment he was thrown, Justin understood [Kuros]'s intention, "[Kuros], I'll fuck you..."
But his voice couldn't get out at all; the water from the deep sea had already filled his mouth... The tentacles of the colossal [Micro Star] instantly wrapped around his body!
A strange gray light flashed across [Kuros]'s body, and then he disappeared into the deep sea... leaving only a silver coin engraved with a seven-pointed star, slowly falling into the water.
Justin was filled with despair. His body, wrapped up by the tentacles, had completely lost the ability to move... He could only let this oversized [Micro Star] drag him into the deeper part of the seabed.
Justin felt like he was about to die, but the royal crest continued to shine—the only source of light in the deep sea.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Justin felt as if he could breathe again... He suddenly shuddered, a chill running from his feet all the way to the top of his head.
[Microstar]... An endless stream of [Microstars]!
There were countless creatures of all sizes, and even a few that were much larger than the super-sized [MSI] that had grabbed them!
The smaller Microstar was curled up in the trenches on the seabed, like an egg... while the larger one seemed to be swimming aimlessly in the trenches.
Finally, Justin saw an incredibly massive "mountain range!"
More micro-stars were now hanging on this "mountain range," with the largest micro-stars coiled at the very top of the "mountain range."
Have I been taken to MSI's headquarters?
The oversized Microstar was currently carrying Justin, rapidly approaching the largest Microstars on the "mountain".
Justin suddenly had a feeling that he was like food about to be offered up.
He was unwilling to accept it, but it was too late.
The process of waiting for death was too painful—just then, the royal crest between his eyebrows bloomed again, and the emerald green light illuminated most of the trench in an instant!
Countless micro-stars instantly became restless, and countless bubbles rose from the seabed... The seawater seemed to be boiling!
The largest micro-stars on the "mountain range" suddenly moved, as if startled, and countless thick tentacles, several kilometers long, extended out and frantically plunged into the seabed!
Justin noticed that the "mountain range" seemed to be shaking!
Meanwhile, the various sizes of micro-stars hanging above the "mountain range" also extended their tentacles and plunged into the seabed... seemingly to stabilize themselves.
The scene was so breathtaking that Justin was stunned—finally, the efforts of the Microstars had paid off, and the shaking of the "mountain" had stopped.
Justin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then realized what he was doing and smiled bitterly to himself. He was already in this state, about to be eaten by some [Micro Star], and he was actually worried about these things?
Just then, a tentacle embedded in the seabed suddenly broke off!
The "mountain range" shook again... No, this "mountain range" actually began to rise!
The Microstar hanging on the "mountain" was in complete panic, but the upward trend of the "mountain" could no longer be suppressed - the huge underwater trench suddenly cracked open!
A crack that stretches for hundreds of kilometers!
Panicked, the micro-stars began to peel away from the "mountain range" and flee—like a large school of fish storm in the ocean!
Justin found himself able to move again and caught up with his oversized [Micro Star], which was also trying to escape!
Suddenly, a terrifying suction force emanated from the enormous deep-sea fissure.
The Microstars that were trying to escape were all swallowed into the deep-sea crevice by this suction force, and even the largest Microstars could not escape!
Justin was not spared either. The next moment, Justin entered a pitch-black space—he felt as if his body was floating, but he had completely lost his sense of direction.
Only the royal crest between his brows continued to radiate its light silently, but it was confined to his side, less than half a foot away.
Suddenly, a crimson light shone on Justin.
He trembled.
This crimson glow originated from four enormous red light sources that suddenly appeared in the darkness—they were arranged symmetrically.
Just like... just like two enormous red eyes!
"shortage……"
A loud voice echoed in the dark space, and Justin instantly bled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth...
……
……
The City of Infinity.
City square...open-air theater.
This is a performance similar to Nuo dance, with the members of the [Infinite Clan] wearing special costumes and specially made masks.
Most of the onlookers were children. As for the adults, this was a show they had obviously seen countless times, so they were not very interested. If it weren't for bringing their children...
The performance tells a story similar to a hero fighting a dragon.
The story of a legendary hero who completed a series of trials and finally successfully piloted the legendary [Holy Machine God], saving the world on the day of destruction.
Day of Destruction... No, Day of Destruction is not the name of a particular day, but rather the name of the calamity that destroyed the Infinite Race.
"In accordance with the ancient covenant, I hereby answer the call of the Golden Clan, and face the enemy of the Infinite Clan, risking my life to fight them..."
"I need your strength..."
He spoke in an extremely tragic voice, playing the role of a hero.
"Go for it! Brave big brother, defeat [Destruction Day]!!! Waaaaah..."
The children cried and immediately raised their hands, crying that they wanted to lend their power to the brave older brother, for he was their only light!
They are so innocent, so this is really heartbreaking. Who hasn't had a childhood where they believed in the light?
The children raised their hands, and the parents had no choice but to raise their hands as well... but the scene was still very impressive because of the special effects.
Indeed, light shone from the children's hands and then converged on the hero on the theater stage.
“I have felt your kindness, and I am now full of strength.”
The maid picked up a small ball that looked like a fried meatball with a small stick and brought it to Mr. Luo's mouth. After Mr. Luo ate it, a drink with a straw was immediately handed to him.
Boss Luo suddenly remembered a joke he had seen a long time ago, so he turned to look at the maid and said, "What if we can't repay all this favor?"
The maid, in a manner that pleased Boss Luo, blinked and, playing along with his quirky humor, asked in a cute, innocent way, "Jail?"
Boss Luo also used a small stick to pick out a fried meatball and fed it to the maid. He was quite satisfied as he looked at the maid's slightly puffed-up cheeks.
His gaze fell once again on the hero who possessed "light".
"An ancient pact..."
……
……
Inside the Infinite Temple.
The only master mechanic, Hanite, was still hammering away, surrounded by his dozen or so best students—the hall was eerily quiet at this moment.
Only the sounds of Master Hanite's discussion with his students continued to ring out.
Miss Nan has confirmed one thing... The Infinite Race is hiding in the world of Tania, and they have indeed lost a great deal of their skills over their long history.
For some unknown reason, the lifespan of the Infinite Race is very short, generally not exceeding eighty years... Moreover, the members of the Infinite Race are in a state of knowing what to do, but not knowing why to do it.
Miss Nan narrowed her eyes, keenly sensing something deeper.
The Infinite Race seems to have lost both creativity and the ability to learn... They can only keep living off their past achievements, but generation after generation, they are almost unable to even live off their past achievements.
The fact that only one master mechanic remained in the entire city of "Infinity" speaks volumes.
"Quick, the energy tank!"
Master Hanite suddenly shouted!
Upon hearing this, Bishop Lockhart immediately perked up. He was already about to reinstall the energy tank. Did this mean that the teleportation device had been successfully repaired?
Judging by the time, it should be about time.
He quickly glanced at Lord Gulev... The young man on the throne had been very composed, resting with his eyes closed, but he opened them at this moment.
"Hanett, is it fixed?" Bishop Lockhart asked hurriedly.
"It's fixed here." Master Hanit breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat... This had really exhausted him, mainly mentally. It was his first time trying to repair a teleportation device; he usually only did maintenance.
Fortunately, the surviving "knowledge" included instructions on how to perform the repairs. Following those instructions... it was impossible to go wrong. The "knowledge" of our predecessors was indeed the truth, and sure enough, there were no mistakes.
“What does this mean?” Bishop Lockhart immediately realized the problem.
Master Hannet hesitated before saying, "During the repair process, I discovered that the receiver on the other end seems to have automatically shut down..."
"What?!" Bishop Lockhart was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "What on earth is Tristan doing?! Hanette, what do we do now?"
Master Hannet thought for a moment and said, "We could try increasing the power of the device to force open the passage, but I'm not sure about the consequences... It might completely destroy the teleportation device. I can't say whether it can be repaired in the future..."
“This…” Bishop Lockhart frowned immediately and subconsciously looked at Gulev.
Gulev did not hesitate and said directly, "Hanet, open the passage. I need to find out what happened over there as soon as possible."
Bishop Lockhart hurriedly said, "Lord Gulev, what if Hannet can't repair the device in the future? Wouldn't we then be unable to..."
Gulev simply waved his hand. "That's just a possibility. Our people will always be the most important."
Bishop Lockhart stopped insisting. Now that things had come to this, and the leader had spoken, any further insistence would only bring him infamy. "Harnett, you must be careful and live up to your reputation as the only master mechanic!"
——TM!
Master Hanite cursed inwardly, but still instructed his students to get to work.
While they were discussing, Princess Lucia and the royal uncle from the clan association remained silent, their expressions shifting between tension and relaxation.
Miss Nan narrowed her eyes again. Were these members of the [Abriel] royal family used to being subservient?
Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—!
The device does not require a long debugging period.
When Master Hanit restarted it, an energy storm instantly spread out from the device in the dome, followed by a huge beam of light shooting straight up from the sky!
It was as if the mirror of the world had been shattered.
The sky was instantly dyed, and a huge honeycomb-shaped surface immediately unfolded horizontally...
……
"what happened?"
People subconsciously stopped their daily routines, and the city's residents all looked in the direction of the temple.
"I do not know……"
Inside the theater in the city square.
The older hero, who was relentlessly beating up [Destruction Sun], stopped in a daze.
He stared in astonishment at the unusual sight in the sky, then suddenly shuddered.
[Destruction Day] Suddenly pushed the hero brother away.
"You jerk, you stepped on my hair!"
"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
The person in charge quickly came out, "Everyone, don't panic, it's alright... The performance is temporarily suspended, parents, please take your children and leave first..."
Boss Luo and his maid also left with the flow of people, somewhat regretting that they hadn't seen the whole performance.
……
……
In a small hall beneath the temple of [Infinity].
Inside the rest room, the space trembled strangely, and then a figure stumbled out... [Kuros]!
"call……"
[Kuros] breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both thrilled and somewhat relieved.
He frowned, feeling little remorse for abandoning Justin—even though Mr. Fukuzo had asked him to take good care of him before he left.
However, given the circumstances, it's essential to protect oneself. Mr. Fukuzo wouldn't blame him, since he had received an excessive amount of Light Stars.
Next, all that's left is to wait to leave the ancestral land; then this mission will be complete.
"Quick! Something seems to have happened! Come out and see!"
There was a commotion outside, and [Kuros] frowned. He quickly pretended to be alarmed and ran out. Outside, a large number of his followers had been alerted and were looking up at the sky above the temple!
"It feels like something is gushing out... What is that?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it before..."
Kuros's expression changed slightly at this moment.
Within the honeycomb-shaped cross-section of the sky, one could only see familiar figures flying out—he knew them all too well, they were [Micro Star]!
