Chapter 365 Metropolis

"This is... another world?"

It must be the same as entering the projection of another world. The process of smuggling into another world is almost unimaginable.There was no moment of memory resonance that lasted for an unknown length of time, nor was there any process of stepping forward in a void of space. After entering the magic circle, rich divine power filled the body. Then the next moment, the divine power faded, and the scene in front of him had already changed. Completely changed.

Although the duration was short, the impression left on the shadow chasers was absolutely profound, because the seven of them were probably the only mortals in the world who were lucky enough to be immersed in the divine power.

Priests do deal with the divine power every day, and they can also use the divine power to introduce it into the body for self-strengthening. However, there is an essential difference between drinking water every day and soaking the whole body in water. Being wrapped in the sacred power, one can feel the vastness. Under such majesty, the sense of existence of mortals is extremely small, almost always hovering on the edge of assimilation.

It turns out that this is power, this is real energy. In contrast, all the golden masters and legendary masters are as small as dust in the face of real power. Sure enough, only by witnessing greatness with your own eyes can you understand your own insignificance, and Understanding your own insignificance is the necessary prerequisite to get closer to greatness.

"Phew, I seem to understand what the opportunity that Lord Simon said is." Although they had already appeared in another world, the shadow chasers were stunned for a long time before waking up from the shock of divine power. Mia He kept his eyes closed all the time, as if he was still reminiscing about the feeling just now, "Even if I didn't encounter any opportunities, the experience just now is already worth the money. Huh, it turns out that this is the case. Many people cannot understand true greatness and true power.”

"I feel that the current situation is not suitable to reflect on the aftertaste of just now." Shuer smiled bitterly and pointed around, "It's better to take a look at these first."

It was only then that everyone really woke up from the shock and sluggishness. Of course, this was also because before the ceremony started, the God of Echo had confirmed that he would choose an absolutely safe place to land, and for a period of time after landing, the remaining divine power would The inner and outer sides will also be isolated in the form of a shield until a balance point between the rules of the two worlds is gradually reached and the existence of seven people can be maintained with the least amount of divine power. Only then will the shield be released.Therefore, with the protection of divinity, the seven people dared to immerse themselves in the insights they just had without any warning.

After coming back to consciousness and looking around, everyone realized why Xiure reacted so strangely.

In alien projection adventures, everyone is used to appearing in deserted wilderness. Well, alien projections are deserted everywhere, but at least they are in the wilderness. But this time it is completely different. This time everyone appears directly in a city. , and it is a big city with a large flow of people.

Well, if everything in front of me could be considered a city.

There are indeed artificial buildings around, but they are completely different from the style of Parvatiga.

On one side of the line of sight, the buildings are extremely tall and occupy a small area, but each one towers into the sky, even taller than the pioneer-style mage tower. Each one is at least three to forty meters high, and the buildings are extremely dense. The distance between the nearest buildings in sight is actually only seven or eight meters. Such tall buildings are so close together, making the city look chaotic and crowded.

Most of the building's exterior walls are made of thick glass, and you can vaguely see the facilities inside. Even those opaque exterior walls are not made of stones, but some kind of strange material, without any gaps or fillings between them. Traces of objects, the whole building is integrated.

Through the glass, you can see the inside of the building. The rooms inside are small and closed, and each room is like a small grid. It is simply worse than the prison in Parvatiga.It is hard for shadow chasers to imagine how cramped they would feel if they lived in such a room. However, from the light-transmitting rooms, you can occasionally see shaking figures. From this point of view, these rooms are indeed for daily use. , I can only say that the human beings in this world are really pitiful, at least in terms of living conditions.

On the other side of the line of sight, there is another scene. The buildings are much lower, often only more than ten meters high, similar to the large buildings in Parvatiga, and the area is much larger than the tall buildings. It is not uncommon for a building to occupy several thousand square meters.Moreover, compared to those towering buildings, the exterior decoration of the buildings on the other side is magnificent, and the lights between the buildings are brilliant, even the night sky is as bright as day.

Many buildings also have huge display screens, which are taller than the sum of several people. The shadow chasers can clearly see the images on them even from hundreds of meters away. Various bright colors Images flickered around on the screen, and a large amount of light and shadow information was poured into the brain like brainwashing.

On the street between the buildings, the surging crowds are overwhelming. The people in this world are at least identical in appearance to the humans in Parvatiga, except that their skin color is slightly browner. They are more like humans in the western countries. There are a lot of beautiful and bright humans. Traveling through the brightly lit city, wearing fragrant clothes and having a happy life.Of course, the streets in the high-rise building area at the other end are not lonely either. Although the lights there are sparse and dim, there are still people moving around from time to time. The figures in the darkness flicker and appear like ghosts, and occasionally there are strange gasps. The sound came from the darkness.

The shadow chasers appeared at the junction of the two areas. Although there were relatively few people here, they were still crowded. Although the shadow chasers appeared suddenly, the people around them seemed to have not seen them at all and passed by them. When we were nearby, we happened to avoid them for various reasons. Everyone saw with our own eyes that a pedestrian was about to walk over and hit him. Suddenly, several people rushed out from the side and grabbed him in the corner and beat him up. By coincidence, he avoided them. .

"Eh? Where are the plants? There are no similar plants here." Moria widened her beautiful eyes and protested dissatisfied, "This is discrimination against our plants. I want to sue them."

As for Saff?She was about to faint. Even if the knot in her heart was untied and the situation improved slightly, it would still require a slow recovery process. Seeing so many people at once would still be too much of an impact on the poor swordswoman. .

"There are plants." Shuer pointed to the distance. Well, there are indeed green plants in the city, but they are very rare. Moreover, whether they are lawns or trees, they are all fenced and carefully protected. Obviously, at least in this city, In the city, plants are very precious. "Look, your kind is protected so well, you should be envious."

"Why are there so many people?" Miridi frowned tightly. Due to professional reasons, necromancers don't like to have too much contact with living beings. Seeing too many people will inevitably make them feel uncomfortable. "The most lively place I have ever seen. There are not so many people in the city."

"Well, you can tell from the architecture." Shuer pointed to the high-rise buildings. "I guess the places with the most people are entertainment districts and commercial districts, and most of the people here are residential. It should be a residential area. They have already divided the residential areas into residential areas. The space has been compressed to an abnormal degree. It is conceivable that the city’s population has seriously exceeded its carrying capacity, so how can there be less people.”

"Haha, after so many adventures, this is the first time I have encountered such a peaceful world." The dwarf Moback waved his huge battle ax and laughed, "With such a large population, it must be a safe city, haha, It’s rare that I can take a vacation this time.”

"Peace? I'm afraid not necessarily." Mia sneered, "Look there."

The building Mia was referring to was also a building in a commercial district. There was no window at the door, so you couldn't see what was sold inside. But instead of the window, there was a large screen showing dynamic images.The image is of a human being wrapped in a metal humanoid. The humanoid is at least half a body taller than an ordinary human being. He is holding a thermal weapon that is too large for ordinary humans in his hands. The weapon spits out tongues of fire and shoots at different targets crazily. of strafing.At the same time, the metal humanoid is also running and jumping flexibly, and the image will freeze from time to time. When frozen, a large number of parameters will be displayed on one side of the humanoid as an explanation.The targets on the opposite side have been replaced many times, but the flexibility and speed of the metal humanoid have not decreased at all, which is enough to illustrate its performance.

At the end of the image, the human figure finally took off his helmet, revealing a masculine and handsome face. The man held a weapon in one hand and gave a thumbs up to the screen. A few lines of text appeared behind him: Maximilian Company, tailor-made for you. Your own personal deuterium-powered combat armor from Maximilian Corporation, the best choice to protect you and your family.

"Eh? It's actually the same text as Parvatiga's?" Mobak's focus was obviously wrong, and he said in surprise, "This is so unexpected, and what is deuterium power?"

"Well, the words are different. We can understand them. It's Lord Osor's power." Shuer raised his hand, "Look there."

The other side that Shuer pointed to was more obvious. It was a wide building with transparent display windows on the outer walls. In the display windows, various thermal weapons were neatly arranged. The small ones were only the size of a palm, and the large ones were taller than a person. , although it was not used, but just looking at it from a distance, it seemed that one could smell the smell of oil and gunpowder smoke emanating from the weapon.

"If a city or a country openly sells weapons to urban residents, there are only two possibilities. One is that the regime is extremely confident in itself, including its state machinery and its ability to control the people, and thinks that it will not There will be chaos, and the other is an extremely unstable environment. Residents will face danger at any time and must hold weapons to protect themselves. The regime is unable to control it and can only allow civilian weapons to proliferate." Shuer said strangely to Moback. He smiled and said, "Although there will be subtle differences, generally speaking there are only these two reasons. Guess which city it will be?"
