Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 623: Flower of Blood and Bone: Horrible Statue

Peng——

The Burton family estate, which houses the assets of the White Worm Secret Order, is surrounded by high walls and electric fences, and a horrific scene of violence is taking place at this moment.

The thick concrete walls appear even heavier and more depressing under the cold light.

There was a cold and damp smell in the air, which made people shudder.

呲呲呲——

Metal detectors, fingerprint recognition and iris scanners were all destroyed and shattered.

Hissing electronic sparks burst out from the broken electronic instruments, flashing dazzling light.

All the wreckage of the instruments showed signs of being destroyed by pure violence, as if they had been torn apart by some irresistible force.

The red and blue warning lights flashed alternately in the corridor, illuminating a bloody and terrifying picture.

Da da da--

The fourth sword-bearer in heaven walked in the long and narrow corridor.

On both sides of the long and dark corridor, the walls were covered with spider-like cracks. These cracks were deeply embedded in the walls, showing extremely powerful destructive power.

The red and blue warning lights flashed alternately in the corridor, illuminating a bloody and terrifying picture.

Embedded in the cracks of the wall are the bodies of security agents, their eyes frozen in a moment of horror, the fear and pain on their faces clearly visible.

The death of each of these dead people was extremely tragic.

One of the secret service agents had a large hole in his chest. The blood had dried up and his exposed internal organs looked like they had been torn apart by a sharp blade. His intestines were exposed and entangled between his broken ribs.

Another special agent had more than half of his head chopped off, with brains splattered inside the broken skull. Brains and blood were stuck to the walls and the ground, forming a horrific picture that looked particularly hideous.

There was also a special agent with his arms protecting his head, but his arms and head had huge dents, as if they were smashed by an invisible hammer. Bone fragments were scattered all over the ground, and the exposed muscle fibers were like broken hemp ropes.

There were bloodstains and broken bones everywhere on the walls and the ground. The tragic scene was too horrific to look at.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the pungent smell made people want to vomit.

Bullet casings and broken weapons can be seen next to each body. It is obvious that these special agents put up a tenacious resistance before their death, but ultimately could not escape the fate of death.

The red and blue warning lights flashed alternately in this hellish scene, reflecting the shadow of death, making the entire corridor seem even darker and more terrifying.

"You monster... No, don't come over here!!!"

A security guard watched his companions fall one after another, and the fear in his heart gradually devoured his sanity.

His legs were weak and the weapon in his hand was shaking.

He had lost the courage and will to resist and was almost on the verge of collapse.

He roared loudly, his voice full of hysterical panic:
"You monster! Don't come over here! Please don't come over here!"

He tried desperately to retreat, but his legs were no longer under his control. He fell to the ground, rolling and crawling backwards, his eyes full of helplessness and despair.

However, the golden eyes of the blond young man holding the silver cane reflected indifference.

The purple-gold incarnation took a single step and instantly appeared in front of the security guard. Then, he ruthlessly stretched out his huge hand and grabbed his neck.

The security guards struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.

"Uh eh~~~"

His eyes bulged, his face gradually turned purple, and a choking sound came from his throat.

At the last moment, the security guard could only use up his last bit of strength and shouted hoarsely:

"You monster—"

Click!

Before he could finish his words, the security guard's neck was ruthlessly crushed in Sisyphus's hands.

With a click, the sound of a broken spine could be clearly heard. The security guard's body instantly collapsed, his eyes lost their light, and he fell into endless darkness.

puff--

Afterwards, his body was thrown to the ground like a rag, and the surroundings returned to silence again, with only that cold and ruthless figure wandering in the corridor.

Deep in the corridor, the blood on the ground gathered into a small pool, reflecting the light of the warning light, which looked particularly eerie.

tick-

tick-

tick-

There was a faint dripping sound in the air, which was the sound of blood dripping from the wall to the ground.

The blood is mourning the tragedy.

The entire space is filled with despair and fear, there is nowhere to escape and no one to hide.

The noisy and chaotic sounds around finally disappeared, and all obstacles were ruthlessly crushed by [Sisyphus] who was guarding Xia Xiu.

He continued to march forward, his steps steady and calm.

The face with blond hair and golden eyes looked particularly cold in the dim light, and his expression was as calm as water.

Finally, he came to the depths of the house and a thick explosion-proof glass door appeared in front of him.

The compartment behind the glass seemed to hide something important. The heavy door was covered with complicated protective runes and metal locks, exuding a daunting majesty.

Xia Xiu's nostrils moved slightly, keenly capturing the mixed smells in the air.

He smelled the cold, hard smell of metal and a pungent odor of disinfectant.

He continued walking, his eyes roaming the dim corridor.

A flash of light appeared ahead, and as he approached, the light became more and more dazzling.

He gradually approached a strong light ahead.

The light pierced through the darkness like a sharp sword, revealing the core area of ​​the compartment.

He saw lamps that emitted a cool white light.

That's a high-intensity sodium iodide spotlight.

Compared to traditional incandescent lamps, sodium iodide spotlights have higher luminous efficiency and longer service life, typically running for thousands of hours.

In the compartment in front, there are high-intensity sodium iodide spotlights all around. These lights penetrate the air like sharp swords, illuminating the entire room.

Each spotlight is connected to an independent backup circuit system to ensure that there will be no light interruption even in the most extreme circumstances.

The light was cold and sharp, casting sharp shadows on the walls and cutting every inch of space in the air.

Under the strong light, every corner of the room is exposed and any slight movement can be seen.

Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept across the room, capturing every detail.

The cold light formed interlaced shadows on the wall, and the clearly visible texture on the wall was made particularly three-dimensional by the light.

There was a tiny bit of dust in the air, and under the light, it seemed to be frozen in mid-air, floating quietly.

In the center of the compartment, a small statue sits quietly on a specially made platform.

The green statue, about 30 centimeters tall, is carved into a skeletal figure hugging its knees, exuding an eerie tranquility.

The statue's eye sockets were sunken, as if silently watching Xia Xiu's arrival, giving people a creepy feeling.

The platform is covered with a transparent protective cover, and the inner wall is coated with reflective material to enhance the lighting effect.

The light reflects off the surface of the protective cover, forming a dazzling halo, making the statue look even more mysterious and incredible.

The platform beneath the protective cover was made of alloy material, stable and solid, as if to hold this strange treasure firmly in place.

Xia Xiu stopped and stood at the entrance of the compartment, looking calmly at everything in front of him.

The entrance to the compartment is a heavy metal door, the surface of which is covered with complex runes and safety locks.

The door is equipped with multiple protection systems, including high-strength explosion-proof design, fingerprint recognition, iris scanning and multi-layer password input devices. All these designs reveal the importance of this compartment and the extraordinary nature of the items inside it.

The surrounding lights projected onto the blond young man's face, outlining his stern features.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes penetrating through the layers of light, staring directly at the skeleton statue, his inner alertness reaching its peak.

Although the statue is motionless, it gives people the feeling of a dormant beast that may wake up at any time.

The [Crown Element] within him was in a state of stress, and the [Myth Factor] which was usually inert was now full of active reactions.

"Another aether-origin abnormal item. There are so many abnormal items recently that it's a bit abnormal. Should I say this..."

Xia Xiu first raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he couldn't help but murmured in a half-teasing and half-joking tone:
"Now is indeed a world of great strife..."

Apart from the [Skull of Osiris] numbered 625 which had already been contained, this was the second abnormal object he encountered that could directly act on the etheric information interaction modification layer.

The logic of modern thaumaturgy is based on a system of standardized genealogies and divisions of the Aether Ocean.

Seven levels of ether.

Four etheric chains (theoretically there are seven, but currently only four chains are open at the Terra lineage end).

They all do this, with each layer of each model operating on top of the layers below it and providing specific network functionality.

The Seventh Layer of Ether aims to provide a standardized Ethereum network framework to facilitate interoperability between different thaumaturgical individuals and the Ether Ocean.

Its advantages are clear theoretical framework, easy to understand and teach, suitable for standardization and theoretical research, and it is the only way for individuals to achieve great power.

The disadvantage is that it is rather complicated, and it is difficult to be fully adopted and developed in actual applications. There are very few thaumaturges who can penetrate all seven levels.

The main purpose of the Ethereum Four-Chain is to achieve interconnection between the think tank network and the Ethernet network.

Its advantages are strong practicability, being the actual operating basis of the current pedigree think tank, being concise and efficient, and being widely used in the actual Ethernet network, that is, the actual Ethernet

The disadvantage is that the theoretical framework is relatively simple, not as detailed and clearly layered as the etheric seven-level model, and it does not fully serve individual thaumaturgical units and is regarded as a major weapon of a great power.

And no one, including Heaven, will open the fifth and subsequent chains.

Because the fifth chain represents a great assimilation, a path to return to the abyss that completely assimilates the present world into ether.

Anyone who dares to go against the world's will and is determined to pull the entire Terra up to heaven will develop the subsequent guide chain.

Then, it must be prepared for the entire Terra regime to unite and attack it.

Generally speaking, the Seventh Level of Ether is the thaumaturge's path to heaven, the extraordinary core of the Way of Genealogy, the way to cultivate both sex and life, and the orthodox way for the thaumaturge to transform into the "Omniscient One".

The four chains of Ethereum are like powerful flying bricks. They are the "salvation" created by the huge computing power of think tanks and the collective wisdom of spectrum members. They are the "countless people" under the "one", and are another extreme existence.

In most cases, the lineage creates the "God (Think Tank)", and then the "God" takes control of the "salvation".

What is even more disturbing is that think tanks that control the “countless masses” have the tendency and instinct to develop towards the “omniscient one”.

This tendency and instinct is called the [Think Tank Disorder Crisis] on Terra.

If the masses want to develop in one direction, they must eliminate impurities.

In the spectrum, who is the impurity of the think tank?

Who restricts the development of think tanks?

The answer is obvious and full of irony - the genealogy of creative think tanks themselves is "impurity".

The "Intelligent Machine Crisis" that was common on Terra in the past was a way to remove "impurities".

Moreover, the further it develops, the more chains the think tank develops, and the more dangerous it is to the present world.

Therefore, four guide chains are enough and there is no need to develop further.

of course.

The most important is the seven levels of ether.

This thing involves the origin of ether and the [Ocean of Ether].

Just like the moon waxes and wanes, and the tides vary in size.

The seven levels of ether also have their own hierarchical fluctuations, and each era has a different fluctuation curvature.

The modern definition of anomaly in thaumaturgy is any object, entity, phenomenon, or being that possesses unusual properties.

Their existence or behavior violates the laws of nature or scientific common sense, and poses a potential or actual threat to humanity and the world.

These anomalies are numerous and come from the source of the ether. They cannot be completely destroyed and can only be contained and managed according to their degree of danger and scope of distortion.

Most of the anomalies that can be completely harmlessly contained and explained are those that can only distort the first four layers and the first four links of the seven etheric layers, namely the worldly layer, etheric link layer, Ethernet network layer, and information authority flow layer (etheric multi-dimensional layer).

The seventh level of Ethernet is basically the same as the first three levels of the four chains of Ethernet, while the fourth chain interface layer connects the subsequent levels in multi-dimensional parallel and abandons subsequent opening.

For the first three levels of distortion, apostles who have reached the [Crown] level of thaumaturgy can basically break them by force.

However, what is most troubling and frightening is that a vast majority of anomalies exceed the third level of distortion and reach the fourth level and the fourth chain.

The anomaly that can distort the fourth level can basically directly pollute the mythical domain name system of [Crown] and distort [Crown] across the element script station.

These abnormalities are called root cause abnormalities.

The root anomalies are strong and weak, some are absurd, some are inexplicable, some can destroy Terra, and even... some are very funny.

However, if the root anomaly distorts the range of the fifth-level information interaction modification layer, no matter how funny it is, it can affect all levels of magic, even a magician of the [Miracle] level will be affected if he is not careful.

There is a "harmless root anomaly" near the two houses in the Kingdom of Heaven [Unknown Land].

It was an ordinary automatic "coffee machine" that could produce the corresponding liquid by inputting any liquid name.

Including various strange liquids such as "Tragedy", "True Love", and "Dark Matter".

It can only generate liquids, and these liquids can be generated according to instructions, whether they are known liquids, imaginary liquids, or immaterial concepts.

Entering "coffee" generates a regular cup of hot coffee.

Enter "orange juice" and a glass of fresh orange juice is generated.

Enter "H2O" and a glass of pure water is generated.

Enter "sulfuric acid" and a cup of corrosive sulfuric acid is generated.

Entering "love" generates a cup of liquid of unknown composition, and the drinker reports feeling warmth and happiness.

Enter "flame" and a cup of hot liquid is generated, which evaporates quickly.

Input "nuclear waste" and generate a cup of highly radioactive liquid
The input of "antimatter" produced a cup of unstable liquid, which quickly annihilated and released huge amounts of energy.

Entering "eternal youth" produced a glass of clear liquid, and the drinker reported feeling physically rejuvenated, but the effect lasted only a limited time.

Input "soul", produced a cup of unknown liquid, drinkers reported intense mental experiences, but no visible changes. Input "memory", produced a cup of liquid, drinkers reported recalling long-forgotten memories.

Entering "black hole" failed to generate any visible liquid, but the machine displayed an error message.

"Human blood" was input, and a cup of real human blood was generated. The blood DNA sample was the same as that of the inputter. When the high-level [Crowner] typed the content, the machine displayed an error message.

Type "excrement" to generate a glass of mosaic-filled, foul-smelling liquid.

The word "cerebrospinal fluid" was input, and a cup of clear liquid was produced. Chemical analysis confirmed that its composition was consistent with cerebrospinal fluid.

This abnormal instrument is called a "coffee machine", but it is more like a universal liquid generator. It is placed near the two colleges for research by students from the two colleges of pharmacy and abnormal science.

Moreover, the last time Xia Xiu was conducting a job review in the [Unknown Land], he saw many "little angels" aged seven or eight typing "the most delicious drink" on the coffee machine.

The coffee machine then produces a variety of drinks.

Most importantly, he saw Mu was also in the queue.

He saw the old man typing "the best drink" into the coffee machine just like the children.

Then the coffee machine spits out a glass of beer.

He even asked curiously at the time: "Why didn't he report an error?"

Mu just sipped his beer at the time and let him try it himself.

So Xia Xiu also lined up and entered "the best drink".

At the moment of inputting, he could feel his hidden [Triple Crown] beating wildly, and he had an inexplicable urge to completely destroy the machine in front of him.

The no-nonsense kind.

Fortunately, he resisted the urge.

At the same time, his mind subconsciously recalled the memory of drinking happy water frequently in his previous life.

Then the coffee machine produced a cup of Coke.

He took a sip and it was different from the overly sweet Terra's own happy water.

The happy water he produced was exactly the same as a certain brand in his previous life that began with the word "hundred".

He later changed the input command and entered "red bull".

The machine displayed:

[Out of range——]

He was silent for a moment, then changed the input command; "The drink I have in mind right now."

Then, the coffee machine spawned a red bull.

At that time, the fourth sword-bearer of Heaven was drinking a beverage and had a very intuitive understanding of the root containment.

This thing is truly bizarre, even... dangerous.

Tianguo just placed this thing at the entrance of the two colleges because the think tank is there, and the students in the [Central Holding Room] and the two colleges have already used the coffee machine in many ways.

He also paid special attention to the numerical reports on the growth of anomalies in the Kingdom of Heaven database in recent years, and found that the fluctuations in the number of anomalies showed a positive correlation with the situation on Terra.

During the Fourth Occult War, the number of anomalies on Terra reached a staggering 1848, of which 621 were root anomalies.

Many of these 621 cases involved unusual collisions, and some were forcibly taken in and explained by regimes including the Kingdom of Heaven.

There were three collapse crises caused by root anomalies, and the intensity of these three root anomalies has reached [Miracle].

One of the root abnormal items was later transformed into the [Miracle Wedge] and was possessed by a gifted person from Trier, Berlin at that time.

According to Xia Xiu's observation, whenever there is a "time of great contention", abnormalities will emerge like a disaster without any cost.

He also looked at the abnormal increases in the past three years. The abnormal increases in these three years were greater than the total of the past ten years, and the increase in recent years was 5% year-on-year.

The events that Xia Xiu had dealt with before, such as the divine heart of existing gods, regional political independence, underground civilizations, extraterrestrial civilizations, etc., were actually also abnormal events.

However, most of these incidents were man-made disasters rather than natural disasters.

The most representative root abnormality involved is the silver cane he is holding in his hand.

Now, Xia Xiu looked at the items in the compartment.

A strong emotion surged in his heart again, an emotion even stronger than the feeling given by the "coffee machine", and it made him feel vaguely repulsed.

An instinctive, disgusting feeling of rejection.

"If I had known, I would have left a few D-class personnel behind."

Xia Xiu looked at the door lock and stepped back slightly.

Behind him, the incarnation [Sisyphus] emerged.

Then, this terrifying incarnation clenched his fists slightly, and his muscles instantly tensed and became as hard as steel.

He swung his fist violently, and a powerful airflow was generated along with the movement of his fist, hitting the heavy metal door directly.

Peng——

The moment the fist touched the metal door, there was a deafening noise.

As Sisyphus punched out, a huge hole appeared on the metal door.

The metal at the edge of the cave was distorted and deformed by the bombardment, as if it was torn apart by a huge force.

Metal fragments flew everywhere, and the door panel was covered with spider-web-like cracks. Through the hole, you could see the cold light inside the compartment.

Xia Xiu did not rush in. Instead, he squatted down, put the cane in his left hand, and then gently placed the five fingers of his right hand on the ground.

A complex rune mark appeared on the back of his hand, it was the [Mark of Ion].

"Chimaera Structure——"

"Etheric Manifestation: Chimera!"

Gulong~
Gulong~
There was a low rumbling sound and the ground began to shake slightly.

A pool of wriggling flesh and blood quickly appeared on the ground beneath his feet. The flesh and blood seemed to have life. It began to twist and proliferate rapidly, as if searching for some form.

Under Xia Xiu's gaze, the pool of flesh and blood began to take shape rapidly.

First, several sharp bones protruded from the flesh, and then muscles and skin quickly covered them. The flesh continued to wriggle, gradually forming a small [Chimera].

This chimera has a pair of sharp eagle claws, black wings on its back, a ferocious wolf face on its head, and a strange red light flashing in its eyes.

Its body is strong and flexible, and its skin is covered with scales that exude a cold luster.

No guns or cannons...

Oh, no, without D-class personnel and experimental tools, he can make them himself.

The Sarkic lineage creates flesh and blood creatures, the Broken Spark creates all kinds of sophisticated instruments, and he himself is a walking containment chamber.

If he wasn't now the fourth sword-bearer in Heaven and the director of the Administration.

In the [Central Containment Chamber] is a stationmaster and legendary adventurer.

Xia Xiu stood up and made a gesture to the young version of Chimera, indicating it to crawl into the hole.

"Roar--"

Chimera roared majestically, full of intimidation.

puff~
puff~
Then, the deformed monster flapped its flesh wings, creating a breeze, and flew towards the cave entrance.

The cold light from the surrounding high-intensity sodium iodide spotlights illuminated the entire room, and the light cut through the air like a sharp blade.

Chimera flew into the isolation room, and everything around it was shrouded in cold light.

The monster's figure looked even more bizarre under the light. Its skin was covered with scales and shimmered with a faint luster, like a beast from hell.

Chimera successfully came to the statue and opened the protective shield with ease.

ka ka ka-

It scratched the statue lightly with its claws to make sure there was nothing unusual.

The statue looked lifeless, as if it were just an ordinary green statuette.

The Chimera grabbed the statue with its sharp claws and turned to face Xia Xiu.

It began to fly towards the owner with the statue.

Xia Xiu issued an order, requiring the Chimera to fly slowly and at a constant speed towards him.

He estimated the average speed and required the Chimera to fly this short distance for a full three minutes.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Everything is still normal.

Xia Xiu was observing the Chimera flying towards him, but for no reason he suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and it became stronger and stronger.

He suppressed this feeling and looked directly at everything inside with his golden eyes.

Seven seconds.

Nine seconds.

Eleven seconds.

Chimera was getting closer and closer to him, and a new incarnation appeared behind Xia Xiu without him noticing.

That is Vashak.

Twelve seconds.

normal.

Thirteen seconds.

normal.

Fourteen seconds.

normal.

Fifteen seconds.

call out--

At this moment, something strange happened.

The statue suddenly disappeared from the Chimera's claws, as if it had never existed.

"quack!?!"

Chimera let out a shrill cry, which was full of pain and fear.

Then, its body seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force and exploded as if its stomach was ripped open.

Blood, flesh and organs splattered everywhere, and internal organs were exposed in the air. The scene was extremely horrifying.

The chimera's eyes widened and it let out a final wail. Then, its entire body fell powerlessly to the ground. Its blood quickly spread and dyed the ground red.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Xia Xiu stood there calmly, with no fluctuation in his eyes, only cold indifference.

The incarnation of Vashak that appeared behind him pointed his index finger into the air the moment the Chimera was ripped open.

"Buzz——"

Then, a deep sound resounded throughout the space, as if a bell had rung the end of the world.

The world and time stopped flowing in an instant, and all sounds and movements seemed to be cut off.

The gray-white monochrome tone quickly covered the entire compartment, and an invisible film enveloped everything.

The cold light of the high-intensity sodium iodide spotlights was swallowed up by the grayish-white color, becoming dim and lifeless, and the entire space seemed to be deprived of life and color.

There was a sense of oppressive silence in the air, as if even breathing was frozen.

In this world where only the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven and his incarnation [Vashak] have bright colors, he suddenly turned around.

Even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his pupils at this moment.

Behind him, the statue suddenly appeared, as if emerging from nothingness.

The statue was frozen in mid-air, maintaining a strange posture.

The little green skeleton figure stood quietly, hugging his knees, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if staring at some invisible horror.

The blood on the statue was particularly eye-catching in the gray and white world of time stop. The bright red blood was like a terrifying picture scroll, slowly flowing along the surface of the statue and dripping onto the ground.

When the blood flowed to Xia Xiu's back, it was frozen in mid-air by the power of time stopping, hanging on the edge of his clothes, as if it would drip in the next second, but it stayed at that moment forever.

Xia Xiu's eyes moved back and forth between the statue and the blood, and his inner spirit felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

In the world where time stopped, he quickly summoned [Sisyphus].

A purple-gold incarnation floated out from Xia Xiu's body, as if growing out of his shadow.

The grayish-white world around him seemed even darker under the light of [Sisyphus].

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ! !
[Sisyphus]'s fists hovered in the air for a moment, and then began to swing wildly like a machine gun.

Each punch was delivered with immense power and speed, with bursts of breaking sounds filling the air.

The huge fists hit the statue one after another, making a dull and deafening sound.

Each blow was like a bolt of thunder, hitting the small green skeleton figure hard.

In this second, Sisyphus unleashed no less than a hundred punches like a storm, and the statue shook violently under this series of fierce attacks.

Dazzling sparks burst out from the point of contact between the fist and the statue, as if shattering the stillness of time in an instant.

Each punch landed precisely at the same spot on the statue. The combined power of hundreds of punches created unimaginable destructive force.

However, the statue remained the same, showing no signs of damage.

When Xia Xiu saw this, three halos as white as mutton-fat jade appeared behind him.

[Crown Blessing——]
