Alien Paradise.

Chapter 453: Their respective futures

Chaoyang could not see this scene, he had to go deep into the underground palace to detonate the bomb in order to avoid contamination of the bomb by the other party's kingdom of God. Now this goal has been achieved - at the moment when the light comparable to the sun burst out, his body was vaporized, followed by the flesh and soil under his body, and hundreds of war machines that drilled out of the follicles to defend the God of All Machines.

Most of the energy generated by annihilation was converted into light and heat. The temperature at the center of the explosion instantly reached hundreds of millions of degrees. The extremely high heat caused the air to expand violently, eventually triggering a super-large-scale explosion!

With a thunderous roar, the foundation of the entire royal city was lifted up, and the streets, shops, residential buildings... all buildings were blown into the sky as the ground rose rapidly. The melted rocks and soil turned into scarlet magma, which gushed out from the cracks in the ground, like a living fire melting the city.

This gushing flame further stirred up more smoke and dust, and a huge black cloud rose from the ground and rushed straight into the sky, eventually forming a giant smoke column more than ten kilometers high.

A large pit formed below the smoke column, large enough to cover the inner city area!
The mechanical birds that were originally hovering over the city fell like raindrops and merged with the lava lake in the pit.

The fire caused by the explosion burned for three days before it was extinguished, and then black rain fell for two days in a row. A large amount of floating smoke fell to the ground with the rain, soaking the scorching ground inch by inch.

It was not until the fifth day that peace finally returned to the royal city area.

But the city of Sancia, which had been in business for hundreds of years, no longer existed. All wooden houses had turned into ashes in the fertile soil, and brick buildings had all collapsed. Almost none of them survived the explosion. Only some crooked rock walls in the outer city area could still show the size of the city.

The first people to set foot on the ruins were the villagers living in the outer suburbs. Because the explosion was underground, the shock wave did not reach the suburbs outside the royal city. These people carefully entered the scorched earth city area, wanting to see if they could pick up any treasures left behind. When they approached the inner city, they were shocked to find that the ground here was mixed with a large number of crystals, which refracted colorful light under the sun.

This is even more true around the big pit. The entire pit wall looks almost like it is made of glass, and the color is purer, almost a uniform dark green.

It is a unique landform formed by the re-condensation and cooling of sand melted by high temperature.

The villagers were not aware of this; they only knew that in the face of such a shocking explosion, it was impossible for anyone to survive.

In other words, as long as they can pick up the treasure, it will definitely belong to them.

"Brother, what kind of thing is considered a treasure?"

"Golden, do I need to teach you this? Real gold is not afraid of fire!"

"Go look for it down there. This used to be a royal palace, so there must be some good stuff there."

Such conversations continued among the villagers.

Just as they were excitedly preparing to plunder, a pile of earth next to the big pit suddenly moved.

I saw the solidified soil clods falling down, revealing a charred stone door.

Then the door was slowly pushed open, making a dull friction sound.

Everyone looked at each other, and fear suddenly surged in their hearts! It was impossible for people to survive such a tragic explosion and fire, so what could still move now? Either a machine or a monster! In less than a second, they made a choice and screamed and fled from the edge of the pit. After all, life is more important than wealth.

The villagers did not see the slender figure walking out from behind the door.

"The palace...has turned out to be like this..."

Bi Fei murmured as she looked at the dark earth.

"Are you sad?" That gentle voice follows me like a shadow.

She thought for a moment and shook her head slightly. "Although I grew up here, I didn't feel like I had to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life. And... you didn't protect those enemies, did you?"

"That's right."

"So... they are all dead." Bi Fei squatted down and picked up a handful of black soil. The colorful glass mixed in it seemed to be the souls of the enemies. "Is this your plan, Miss Clara?"

"This is the most convenient way... because your enemies are not only the Longjiu family, but also those nobles who are willing to be fence-sitters, and even the servants of the Laurel family. Now... your patience has been rewarded."

Bi Fei nodded and closed her eyes with relief, "Thank you."

As if she was praying to someone, she was silent for a moment and then whispered, "Your name is not Clara, right?"

"..." For the first time, the other party did not answer.

"Because I am also a member of the Laurel family. Miss Clara abandoned the entire family, so there is no reason for her to take care of me alone. But it doesn't matter. As long as you wish, I will continue to call you that... because at that most desperate time, only you answered my prayers."

"You've grown a lot."

"Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now." Bi Fei smiled and sprinkled the black soil in her hand onto the pit, "But in this way, my goal has been achieved." "No, this is just the first step." A woman's silhouette appeared in front of her and spoke to her for the first time, "Didn't I say it? The Longjiu family is just your shackles, and you will eventually get everything I promised - become the new queen."

……

Earth.

A week after the machine rebellion was quelled.

Chaoyang leaned against the window in the living room and looked out at a sweeping robot walking in circles on the community lawn on a leash, while a child was running beside the dog, looking very happy.

The rebellion was quelled, but the world was changed forever.

All the war machines created by the God of All Machines were turned into scrap metal, but the infected local machines did not return to their original appearance. Now the word "machine soul" has become the most discussed topic on the Internet. Every day, you can see news reports about which washing machine has gone on strike, and people in a certain place smashed machines just to protest the propaganda that machines are also intelligent life.

Chaoyang can easily distinguish these "awakened" machines through the Cyber ​​Eye - although they are also connected to the Internet, they appear as an elusive black box in the cyber vision, which means that his abilities can no longer easily invade or control them.

From this perspective, they can indeed be considered another kind of life form.

Perhaps Cosmos' wish had come true.

When it fell, all machines were free.

As for what human society will look like in the future, and whether it can coexist smoothly with these machines with machine souls, no one knows the answer. People always discuss what the future will look like, and now the future has arrived.

"It's time to eat!"

"Come here, I'm so hungry!"

"Wow... Miss Elodie's lunch is so sumptuous! It seems to be better than Miss Lovisia's!"

"Be careful or I'll beat you up."

Chaoyang turned around and saw the angel waving at him. Her smile was still lively and charming, and she looked very cute in her kitchen apron.

This is Elodie's first official trip to Chu City.

"Excuse me, I should still treat you to a meal at the restaurant..."

"What's the matter? I like cooking anyway... and I asked for a long vacation from the Skeleton Hand this time. If you find something delicious, you can take me there later."

"Okay," Chaoyang smiled and sat down at the dining table, "This is a preview of the days ahead."

After saying this, he saw Elodie's cheeks turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But just when the angel seemed to want to force an explanation, the phone in his pocket rang.

She picked up the phone, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her expression quickly calmed down. Then she looked at Chaoyang, "It's Mr. K calling. The whereabouts of the devil have been found."

"Why at this time?" Chaoyang couldn't help but complain.

He knew that Elodie would definitely not put down her work.

The discovery of Susas's whereabouts also means that the angels can use the other party's breath to go to the world where the other party is hiding - although they don't know what is waiting for them there, it will surely not be a peaceful journey.

"He is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries around the world." Elodie said righteously, "We can postpone the trip. If we can't arrest him soon, I suspect he will plot another shocking crime."

"Okay, okay, anyway, if we use Paradise World as a springboard, we can reach K's manor in one minute." Chaoyang said helplessly, "We'll set off after dinner."

"Understood!" Resk and Lovisia said in unison.

"I knew you wouldn't just sit there and do nothing." Elodie smiled at him and then mouthed, "Thank you... I'll continue to rely on you in the future."

Finish.
