Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 624: Flower of Blood and Bone: Eyeball and Statue

[Crown Blessing·Mobius Strip! ]

【Crown Blessing·Destiny Rolling Stone!!】

[Crown Blessing-Universal Vector Authority!!!]

Three halos as white as mutton-fat jade appeared behind Xia Xiu, and the pure light of the halos made his figure look sacred and solemn.

These three halos are not only a symbol of strength, but also a manifestation of the magnificent [Crown Element] and [Myth Factor] in his body.

In the gray and white world of time stop, the light emitted by these halos is particularly dazzling, forming a sharp contrast with the monotonous tones of the surroundings.

With the appearance of the halo, these powers began to cover the body of Sisyphus, making this incarnation appear more terrifying and powerful.

Under the illumination of the halo, the body of [Sisyphus] exudes a heart-pounding pressure.

He clenched his fists, and suddenly a symbol that was constantly distorting space appeared in front of his fists - [∞], which is the [Mobius strip].

This [Mobius Strip] formed at the front of the fist, emitting a force that distorted space.

The space inside the ring began to twist and deform, and the laws of the entire world were rewritten at this moment.

The surrounding space began to ripple as Sisyphus' fists moved. The ripples spread out, rippling in the gray and white world like water waves.

As Sisyphus swung his fists, the ripples gradually became stronger.

The air collapsed in front of his fist, forming a rotating column of air.

This air column was like a huge drill, with the power to distort space, and formed in front of Sisyphus's hands.

The air drill rotates at an extremely fast speed, and the surrounding air is torn and twisted, making a low buzzing sound.

buzzing-

The rotating air column was like an indestructible blade, cutting a deep crack in the gray and white world of time stop.

The dust in the air flew around as the drill bit rotated, forming tiny vortices that continued to spread as the air column rotated.

[Crown Blessing: [Destiny] + [Universe] + [Space]——]

The purple-gold incarnation exuded a terrifying deterrent force, and Xia Xiu, who had extended the [Triple Crown], waved his hand to signal his incarnation to launch a fierce attack towards the statue.

His hand dropped quickly, and [Sisyphus] followed his movement and attacked.

[Element unlocked: Gurren Lagann Toppa Vector Impact Drill!!!]

In the gray and white world where time has stopped, Sisyphus waved his fists with rotating air drills and approached the green skeleton statue.

The statue floats quietly in the air, hugging its knees tightly, exuding an eerie and peaceful atmosphere.

Its silent posture contrasts sharply with the still world around it.

Sisyphus raised his fists, one on the left and one on the right, and approached the statue with precise and powerful movements.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz————

The air drill kept spinning at the front of the fist, and the distorted space made a low humming sound around it.

As Sisyphus' fist gradually approached the statue, the harsh friction sound in the air became clearer and clearer.

呲呲呲呲岲——

The sound was as harsh as nails scratching on a blackboard, making people feel uncomfortable and disgusted involuntarily.

The irregular waveform and rapid volume changes seemed to strike the most sensitive nerves of human beings, making them unbearable.

At this moment, the air drill and the statue collided in the gray and white time-stopped world.

puff!

puff! !
Poof! ! !

The air drill rotates at an extremely fast speed, and the surrounding space is torn and distorted.

However, surprisingly, the statue was more indestructible than expected.

The drill left only a barely perceptible white mark on one part of the statue, almost invisible.

The statue still sat firmly in its place, as if unaffected by anything.

At the same time, fifteen seconds have passed in the world where time has stopped, and the ticking countdown indicating that the time stop is about to end quietly sounds.

tick, tick-

Every countdown seemed to remind Xia Xiu that the flow of time was about to resume, and the tense atmosphere became more and more intense.

Xia Xiu's current [Time Slot] can only hold time for about twenty seconds.

If there is a high-level observation, the time of this time stop will be shortened.

After the time stop of more than twenty seconds ended, he needed to let Vashak catch his breath for a few seconds before he could activate the time stop again.

This is also considered the skill CD time.

Although the CD of these breaths does not seem long, but in high-intensity magic confrontation and abnormal confrontation, the CD of a few breaths is still too long.

A twenty-second time stop is still too short.

呲呲呲呲岲——

The collision sound of the air drill and the statue mixed with the harsh friction sound seemed particularly harsh and discordant in this gray and white time-stopped world.

The indestructibility of the statue made Xia Xiu frown slightly. At the same time, his body had already quickly distanced itself from the statue.

In the gray world, he looked calm, his blond hair fluttering slightly in the still air, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes.

In the world where time stopped, Xia Xiu's mind was turning rapidly, analyzing the situation in front of him.

"The statue of an unknown person is placed in a room with high-intensity lights, and the light must be continuously shining on it. There is an independent backup power supply in the room to ensure that the light will not go out at any time, so the abnormal ability is most likely related to the visual range.

However, counterintuitively, it is built into special reflective-coated glass, which means that only people on the outside can observe it, while the coating inside the statue cannot be observed from the outside.

If the statue is alive, or has special functions, we can basically conclude one thing, that is, it can perceive the perspective, and the perspective exists constantly. "

"…What's the purpose of the reflective glass? To blur the appearance of containment workers like me?"

While his mind was racing, he quickly took in everything in the cubicle out of the corner of his eye, and his mind was rapidly calculating his next move.

The death of Chimera No. 1 just now was because his claws were grabbing the statue, and at the same time, the eyes of various parts of his body were not looking at the statue, that is, the constant perspective disappeared, triggering the statue mechanism.

"Mechanism hypothesis 15: If no intelligent creature is staring at the statue, it will disappear within 20- seconds and then reappear next to the creature that had seen it before, and that creature will suddenly die at the same time."

He squatted down again, with the five fingers of his right hand touching the cold floor. With this movement, the Seal of Ion on the back of his hand flashed like a bright red brand, emitting a faint red light.

"Chimaera Structure——"

The bright red mark gradually became brighter, as if it came alive, and bright red flesh and blood slowly spread out from the palm of the hand.

It has a mechanism for rapid structure and proliferation, and it wriggles like a living thing, rapidly expanding on the ground.

The flesh and blood twisted and stretched, as if weaving a complex network.

As time went on, the flesh and blood began to rapidly take shape, forming the prototypes of miniature chimeras.

The bodies of these chimeras quickly took shape on the ground. First, the outline of bones appeared. The bones were slender and tough, as if they were made up of countless tiny bone pieces.

Then, muscles and skin quickly covered the bones. The muscle lines were tight and strong, and the surface of the skin was covered with fine blood vessels, emitting a faint red light.

The Chimera's head gradually became clear, with three pairs of eyes flashing with strange light, full of an ominous aura.

Their mouths opened, revealing sharp teeth, and they let out a low growl.

The process of the squirming flesh and blood spreading from the palm was full of visual impact, and the blood flowed on the ground, forming a blood-red ocean.

Chimera's body gradually emerged from the sea of ​​blood, looking particularly terrifying and ominous.

"Roar--"

"Roar--"

"Roar--"

The three-headed micro-chimera has returned to the world!!!

The upper body is like a lion, the middle is like a goat, and the lower body is like a poisonous snake.

One is better than three. When one is used up, you can get three more.

Three heads and nine perspectives, staring closely at the statue in time stop.

Xia Xiu stood up and looked at the slightly funny scene in front of him, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The standing postures of these three Chimeras are particularly similar to Shiba Inus. They are grinning and staring at the statue with their three heads and nine eyes wide open. The scene looks extremely absurd.

The contrast between the animal-like movements and the pretentious majestic posture made it difficult to associate this scene with the tense atmosphere.

Xia Xiu suppressed the slightly raised corners of his mouth, pressed the top hat on his head, and walked towards the compartment on the [Mobius Strip].

He always felt that there was something detailed hidden in this compartment.

"Buzz——"

The roar sounded again, the gray world receded like the tide, and time resumed its flow.

Colors quickly filled every inch of space, and paint spread across the canvas.

The cold metal walls reflected the blinding light, and the lights inside the compartment became blindingly bright again.

The light from each sodium iodide spotlight is like a sharp sword, piercing through the air and illuminating the entire room.

when--

After the time stop ended, a "clang" sound was heard first, breaking the silence for a moment.

Xia Xiu shifted his gaze from the Chimera to the statue.

The statue that had just been suspended in mid-air had fallen to the ground. Its base was shaking slightly on the ground, making a harsh friction sound.

Finally, it stood firmly on the ground and entered an 'inert state'.

The base of the statue stands firmly on the ground, as if it has never moved.

The Chimera still stared at the statue with wide eyes, and a low roar echoed in the air.

Xia Xiu's body entered the compartment, while the statue was left outside the compartment.

Summon [Vashak] again and wait for the opponent to be ready for the next round of time stop.

At the same time, he asked [Sisyphus] to lift up the [Vector Impact Drill] that had not yet dissipated, change some of its internal parameters, and begin to destroy the surrounding buildings.

[Gurren Lagann·Vector Solid Impact Drill! ]

Peng——

Peng——

Peng——

The terrifying purple-gold incarnation wielded an air drill, silently destroying the surroundings.

Every time Sisyphus swung his fists, the objects they touched would be quickly compressed and broken apart.

There was no sound of collision or friction, just a slight touch, and the object disappeared into the air in an instant as if the [Delete key] was pressed.

The wall collapsed the moment it made contact, the concrete and steel structure quickly turning into nothingness as if it had never existed.

The floor was lightly touched, and a large hole appeared, revealing the internal structure.

The lights went out the moment the fists made contact, and the bulbs and wires were torn apart by an invisible force.

The ceiling was equally exposed, crumbling into dust at the slightest touch.

Xia Xiu was like a character in a game from a God's perspective controlling the mouse, calmly directing [Sisyphus] to carry out the systematic elimination operation.

Each instruction allowed Sisyphus to accurately eliminate each part of the building.

Walls, floors, lights, ceilings... everything quickly disintegrated in the hands of this purple-gold incarnation, as if the entire room was being [deleted with one click] in the modeling system.

Peng——

In this room that was destroyed as if it had just been remodeled, Xia Xiu finally saw what he was looking for.

Something hidden inside the steel frame - a small square box of only fifteen cubic centimeters.

It was hidden deep within the wall and would have been difficult to find if it had not been for this systematic destruction.

A brilliant smile appeared on the face of the blond young man.

"finally found you."

As he finished speaking, he saw the box begin to tremble.

The lid on the top of the box was pushed open by something inside, and an eyeball of only 7.24 cubic centimeters flew out.

The shape of this eyeball is very similar to that of a normal human eyeball. The iris is a deep black and the pupil is slightly contracted, observing everything around it.

The surface of the eyeball is as smooth as jade, and reflects a faint light under strong light.

There is a pair of fleshy wings full of white feathers on its back, which form a strong contrast with the eyeballs. The feathers are delicate and white, each one is clearly visible, and they sparkle with a soft glow under the light.

Buzz! !
Buzz! !
At this moment, the eyeball was flapping its wings, trying to escape from here like a bee.

Its wings vibrated rapidly, and each flap created a slight breeze and a subtle rustling sound among its feathers.

At this moment, the trajectory of the eyeball flying in the air seemed a little flustered, sometimes rising, sometimes turning sharply, as if looking for a way to escape.

Xia Xiu looked at the scene in front of him, the smile on his face did not diminish, but became even brighter.

"Sure enough, there are other abnormal mechanisms involved."

The people of this land always have a lot of tricks to play.

Xia Xiu looked at the eyeballs jumping around and just raised his right hand slightly to make a gesture of taking them down.

[Sisyphus] was like a subject who received an order. He quickly put away the drill in his hand, stepped on the [Mobius Strip], and instantly appeared behind the eyeball.

call out--

The purple-gold incarnation stretched out his right palm, and a twisted space cage formed in the air, trapping the eyeball.

The structure of the cage keeps changing, like the superposition of multiple spaces, leaving the eyes nowhere to escape.

The eyeball flapped its wings frantically in the cage, trying to find a chance of escape.

Its only eye was filled with fear, and it looked around through the crack in the cage, as if looking for a chance to save its life.

puff--

Every flap caused the cage to vibrate slightly, but these vibrations were quickly calmed by the distortion of space.

The eyeball hit the cage and was bounced back directly.

Then he spun around in a daze.

After catching the eye, [Sisyphus] stepped on the [Mobius Strip] and instantly appeared beside Xia Xiu.

[Sisyphus] came in front of Xia Xiu and raised his trapped eyeball.

Xia Xiu looked at this small and strange creature curiously. Its eyeballs were desperately waving its pair of white fleshy wings, staring at Xia Xiu with fear.

The flapping of its wings made a slight buzzing sound, and the pupils of its eyes contracted violently, anxiety and panic clearly revealed in its only organ.

Xia Xiu's eyes were calm and sharp, and he was silently evaluating the characteristics of his eyeballs.

"There is no perceptible fluctuation curve,"

Xia Xiu thought to himself, and the curiosity in his eyes gradually turned into cold analysis.

"It has a more powerful concealment effect than the [Weakened Presence] I cast. Even though I am looking directly at it, within the range of my spirituality and perception, there is still only a mass of air in front of me."

The trembling of the eyeballs became more violent, and the flapping frequency of the wings became faster and faster, but it could not break free from the restraints of [Sisyphus].

"What an interesting little thing. It seems that your existence is of great value."

[Sisyphus] moved the eyeball closer and Xia Xiu stretched out his finger and gently touched the surface of the eyeball.

The cold and smooth touch is exactly the same as the normal touch of the eyeball.

Her eyeballs trembled slightly under his fingertips, and her wings drooped weakly, as if she had given up the struggle.

Seeing this, Xia Xiu withdrew his hand and reached out to the nearby void.

The tiny feathers on the wings were trembling weakly, as if begging silently.

Seeing this, Xia Xiu calmly withdrew his hand, with a look of scrutiny and thought in his eyes.

His hand then stretched out towards the nearby void, and as he moved, tiny ripples appeared in the surrounding air.

"My dear son—"

"Personal customization·Extraction of events!"

He used the [Personal Customization] ability of the noble son of Vashak, the second-in-command, to project a regular item from the past time tape.

The ripples spread out, rippling in the air like water waves.

Then, a Polaroid camera appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He raised the Polaroid camera and pressed the shutter button at the eyeball in front of him.

Click—

With a slight sound, the light in the lens condensed in an instant, as if capturing the fear in the moment of the eyeball.

The pupil of the eye contracted violently, and the black pupil seemed to be frozen in fear.

In the Polaroid camera in Xia Xiu's hand, the film was slowly squeezed out from the narrow slit on the top of the camera.

He carefully pulled out the film, shook it gently, and waited for the image to appear.

The film sways in the air, and the captured images gradually emerge.

The surrounding light is focused on the photo, and all the scenery appears particularly clear and vivid in the gradually clear image.

Xia Xiu stared at the film, waiting to catch a glimpse of that strange eyeball.

However, as the image fully emerged, the scene in the photograph contained no trace of an eyeball.

The background and surrounding environment are vividly displayed in the photos: the cold and slippery floor, the heavy metal walls, and the dazzling light of the high-intensity sodium iodide spotlights.

However, the strange eyeball that should have been frozen in the picture did not appear in the photo at all.

It was as if the eyeball had never existed in the scene, and its figure disappeared without a trace in the photo.

Everything in the photo was clearly recorded, except for the eyeball.

It feels as if it lives in another dimension, or exists in a different coating that cannot be captured and recorded by ordinary means.

"Its existence cannot be captured by conventional means. Even the spirituality and perception of the Crown cannot capture its existence. It can only be anchored through the perspective of the naked eye."

Xia Xiu casually dispersed the Polaroid projection in his hand, and at the same time, he already had a great understanding of the abnormal nature of the eyeball in front of him.

He asked Sisyphus to come to the statue with his eyeball.

Five minutes have now passed.

The statue's killing mechanism was not triggered.

In other words, Xia Xiu's guess was correct.

"So, the key point of the containment in the compartment just now is not the reflective coating, but the eyeball."

At this moment, Xia Xiu also understood the insidiousness of the person who designed the partition.

If someone who came to steal the statue believed that the statue was a living thing, and assumed that the perspective mechanism was on the object, they would think that by blocking the perspective of the living thing, they could contain the statue.

Then you will definitely be tortured to death.

At this moment, Xia Xiu was summarizing other relevant mechanisms of the statue in his mind.

"The statue's killing mechanism is based on the principle of proximity, with no mandatory order. It has a special teleportation mechanism, and can only be activated when it comes into contact with the victim after teleportation. The current cause of death is internal organ rupture."

"When observing a statue, you must ensure that you can fully observe most of the other person's figure. The strong light in the compartment is designed for this purpose."

As he thought about it, he looked at the other three chimeras' blinking eyes.

"This kind of observation is not absolutely mandatory. Actions such as blinking are allowed. Plus, there is a 15-second pre-trigger shake, so there is more room for manipulation."

Xia Xiu already had a general understanding of the mechanism of the statue. He squatted down and picked up the statue.

The statue is about 30 centimeters tall and shows a skeletal figure sitting and hugging his knees.

The surface of the statue is covered with delicate carved lines, and it seems that every bone detail has been carefully carved.

The green material glows faintly under the strong light, looking particularly strange.

Xia Xiu's fingers gently touched the surface of the statue and felt a cold and hard touch, as if he was touching a piece of cold ice.

The surface of the statue is smooth yet slightly rough, which makes people wonder whether its material is made of some special component.

He held the statue up to his eyes, carefully observing the fine carved lines, and felt a vague ancient power emanating from it.

Deep in the statue's eye sockets, he seemed to be able to feel an invisible gaze, as if some mysterious existence was spying on him through the statue.

Although the statue itself was still, Xia Xiu felt a subtle sense of pressure from it.

Xia Xiu slid his fingers along the edge of the statue, feeling the delicate carved lines passing through his fingertips, bringing a cold and strange touch.

He could feel that this statue was not just a simple object, but contained some powerful power and secrets.

Xia Xiu held the statue in his hands and slowly turned it over to the bottom.

His eyes were fixed on the base of the statue, noting that there were several lines of ancient Terran writing carved there using the technique of microcarving.

These characters are fine and dense, with smooth lines, as if they were carved stroke by stroke with the finest chisel.
The carving of the characters is extremely exquisite, and each letter is clearly visible, showing the carver's superb skills and patience.

The color of the text is slightly different from the green of the statue itself, with a faint metallic luster, as if it was inlaid with some special alloy.

The following words are engraved inside the statue:
[In the beginning, the world was divided into three parts.]

Before Olympus was known, before the giants became extinct, before the oceans completely receded, the world was divided into three parts.

Three great cities divide the world into three.

Mamjul and Korar, two dark fortresses, are stationed in the jungles of the subcontinent.

Magicians and sorcerer-nawabs banded together to resist the horrors of the forest, and made a pact with some ancient entity.

Thus was born the Daevite Covenant, and those who enslaved humanity were gifted the first kind of magic - the magic of life and death.

It was the largest and most powerful empire. In the years that followed, other latecomers shared its plates and flesh.

*****
The inner sanctum is in rebellion by a charismatic slave who promises riches.

The secular preachers of freedom and power turned against him and assisted him.

Together they cast off their chains, slew their oppressors with new magics, and rebuilt their shattered city, all in the name of Grand Karcist Ion.

The Nlka (Sarkic) Empire unleashed a second kind of magic - carnomancy, the magic of flesh.

*****
█Mani-███, the first great ███ of the Mekhanite Empire, spread like wildfire from the desert.

A great, shining city rose from the sand dunes—a center of knowledge, science, and reason, the like of which the world had never seen. It was the third kind of magic—the fire of reason.

The magic of the machines is renowned, and they are devoted to a new god who will lift up humanity rather than make it fear him.

****
In the glorious era, people from three great nations started a war that destroyed the world.

They created Terra's eternal prison. 】
