My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1559 1556. Right where it starts, right where it ends

When embarking on this truly one-way journey, Murphy was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his brave little players.

And the moment he really rushed into the Lightless Sea, Murphy almost stopped thinking. It’s not that he turned into some ultimate creature, it’s purely because all the rules of this damn place are completely different from those of the outside world, and all creatures that enter it have to undergo an "existential transformation."

This time can be long or short. Of course, there is no need to talk about time in the place where all things originate, because there is no continuous flow of time here at all, and according to the Sentinel Corps, anything can happen in this damn place.

For example, when Murphy came to his senses, he even saw an identical Scarlet Dawn coming towards him from another direction through the bridge observation window.

That's definitely not an illusion.
Perhaps he saw the future with his own eyes, and at the moment when the two starships passed each other, Murphy saw a figure standing at the lookout window opposite him.

Not him, but Tris.

Tris from the future seemed to have seen him, and kept waving her hands to try to let Murphy see her, but there was no sadness or despair on Tris's face, only curiosity and experimentation when she saw something interesting.

This made Murphy feel relieved again.

Although it was most likely just some strange phenomenon caused by the special rules of the Lightless Sea, it at least showed that he did not encounter an outrageous ending on the opposite ship.

Murphy watched another Scarlet Dawn disappear in the waves of the Sunless Sea. He turned around and looked at the people in the bridge. Except for him, everyone else was still experiencing the "rule transformation". Not only Tris and Adele, but even Shani remained motionless, with a kind of beauty as if time had stopped.

Well, if Murphy is really a sex-hungry maniac, then he will definitely take action now.

Sadly, he is not.

He walked quickly to the starship's control panel and tried to wake up the starship program, but the system program seemed to be undergoing the same transformation, including his own Eden program, which was in an unresponsive state.

Murphy didn't know how long this transformation would take, but he knew he had to prepare now for what was next.

So he left the bridge and returned to his cabin, where he put on the "Lightless Sea Protector" that Ms. Fendil had made specifically for him.

This set of protective gear does not have any combat enhancement. It is a protective device made based on the records of the internal environment of the Lightless Sea left by the Creator. It can be regarded as a special space suit. After putting it on, Murphy can move freely in the environment of the Lightless Sea even without the protection of the constant system in the starship.

But the forger said it very clearly, this suit is only for protection, not immunity. It can hold out for a while outside the Lightless Sea, but once it enters the core of the Lightless Sea, this suit will be quickly eroded by the source of chaos.

This means that after arriving at the core area, Murphy does not have much time to act.

Fortunately, the craftsmanship of the forger is absolutely worthy of recognition. She did not make this protective suit bloated, but just a close-fitting shape similar to that of a starship pilot, and it also has a super classic fish tank head helmet.

Murphy had a lot of complaints about the appearance of the helmet, but it was too late to change it now.

He left the cabin with his helmet in one hand and the briefcase of the "Entropy Converter" in the other, ready to go to the bridge again, but after he came out and turned a corner, he saw Erza standing on the observation deck beside the corridor.

This guy should still be in the suppression device. It seems that the suppression device failed after entering the Lightless Sea, allowing Erza to be free. Because of the difference in life form, she is probably the crew member who completed the rule transformation the fastest except Murphy.

The good news is, she's showing no signs of going crazy yet.

At this moment, the captain standing on the observation deck was filled with a strange calmness. She was staring at the scene outside the cabin in a trance and didn't even notice Murphy approaching.

"What are you looking at?"

Murphy asked, but Erza didn't look back. She just gestured for Murphy to go up to the observation deck as well. Then he looked in the direction Erza was going, and saw the various debris floating in the strange invisible "sea water" ahead.

There were not only the remains of simple pavilions and towers that had been washed away by time, but also a city hanging upside down in a weird posture above the broken and fallen half of a starship. Below the wreckage of the starship there was a mammoth skeleton and several broken spears floating in the air.

This scene really looked like an entire history that had been disrupted and randomly arranged together, and everything in Murphy's eyes was covered with a filter that was difficult to describe.

It was a faded khaki filter, as if these unrelated things in front of us had been forgotten in the real history.

"Is this an illusion? Or is it an 'easter egg' left behind by the Creator after he created the universe?"

Murphy asked. Erza next to him obviously had her own conclusion. She spoke after a few seconds:

“It’s all true!
Perhaps it was caused by the "mass extinction", but it could also be the reflection of the real world in the lightless sea. There is no distinction between real and false in this place. Anything can happen here, but everything that happens here will not have any impact on the outside world.

Its existence is above the material universe and even above the subspace.

Also, I don't know if you have thought about it ahead of time, but after entering here, the transformation experienced by everyone on this ship is actually a sign of the transformation of material life into subspace creatures.

Mortals are not allowed to set foot here, and the moment we come in means that we will be bound to this place forever.

You see, the energy flowing here is very primitive, with no attribute difference. Theoretically, you can leave the starship now and bathe in this power of origin, which will rapidly improve your strength. "

"But what's the point?"

Murphy waved his hand and said:
"You can't take anything away from here. The more water of power you drink here, the deeper your bond with this place will be. However, we don't plan to stay here forever, so the most sensible thing to do right now is not to touch anything in the Lightless Sea."

"Lower your head!"

Erza suddenly interrupted Murphy and lowered her head to look out the window, but Murphy did not lower his head or close his eyes as she said.

He looked out the observation window, and the next moment, a terrifying shadow enveloped the starship, like the scene after the light was taken away. In the boundless darkness, an eel-like creature leisurely circled the Scarlet Dawn twice.

As its sticky body covered with dull sea sand passed over the observation tower, an eyeball shining with purple-red light suddenly turned out from its flesh and blood, just in time to look into the eyes of Murphy behind the window.

The eyeball rotated, and its pupil finally locked onto Murphy. At that moment, Murphy felt his hair stand on end, but it did not stay for too long, as if he had seen something that was not worth noting.

After a few seconds of darkness, light returned to the place once again.

The giant creature just now was like a dream. It was as strange as it appeared and disappeared without any sound.

"A Chaos Shadow. Its energy level is not much weaker than that of Tao. It is really hard to imagine. It seems that the number of Chaos Shadows in the Lightless Sea is much greater than we imagined."

Murphy whispered:
"As long as a creature like it leaves here, it can obtain the fundamental symbol of the material universe."

“But it will not leave, just like the shadows sleeping in the depths of the Lightless Sea. They have no desire to dominate, and have no interest in the war between Chaos and Order.

Just like they have no interest in everything, even their own existence, they are only satisfied to live here according to the flash of inspiration when they were born, and live until the moment when the whole universe is destroyed, then they may take action.

It is even more likely that they will continue to maintain their "carefree" attitude when destruction comes. You can call it blindness and stupidity, but in their eyes, there is no meaning of everything, and even their own existence may not be given too much meaning.

Tao and Shou are just two of these terrifying but harmless beings that have taken the initiative to jump out of the 'fish tank' to find the meaning of their existence."

Erza whispered:

"Even if the Order camp really gains an overwhelming advantage in the future, the Chaos camp will not be extinct. Once these terrifying things that exist here are disturbed and they are forced out of this state of 'nothingness', the end of the world will come in an instant. No wonder those ancient warp shadows are only sleeping in the shallow layer of the Lightless Sea. I can't even imagine what kind of terrifying existence is sleeping in the real deep layer."

"Perhaps the Sunless Sea itself?"

Murphy thought about it and guessed:
"The Creator took the original seed of the Lightless Sea from other great beings and placed it here as the driving force for the advancement of the universe. In my opinion, such a transcendent existence cannot be an eternal and unchanging dead object.

Perhaps this area itself has its own thoughts and it has never actively expanded.

Even the outer warp is merely an energy entity that symbolically extends from this area.

The origin of all things is truly worthy of its reputation. The secrets here should perhaps never be revealed, but unfortunately, we now have to dive deeper.

Can you locate the source of the Omega signal?"

“Yes, but only intermittently.”

Erza rubbed her forehead and said in some pain:
"I can only give a rough direction, but the problem is that all the rules here are very primitive and close to true chaos. The previous three signal positionings came from different areas, which means I can't determine the true location of the Omega through triangulation."

“You also said that this is a symbolic space.”

Murphy waved his hand and said:
"As long as there is a signal, as long as we make the action of 'going', the symbolism of this action itself will bring us closer to the Omega. In an area full of metaphysics, we can only keep moving forward in a metaphysical way.

Now to the bridge!
The quicker we get to the Omega, the better. I don't want to see the Scarlet Dawn return to the material world with a shipload of Warp creatures in the future."

"Then you are really optimistic, Murphy."

Erza sighed, patted the hull in front of her, and said:

"Not only us, but also this ship will be affected. It will become a true 'subspace creature' when it leaves here. I don't know how you will deal with these problems in the future, but fortunately, we don't need to consider them.

This is where I end up. I chose this path for myself.”

"Go to the Omega, Erza. Your self-destructive tendencies are dangerous right now."

Murphy advised:
"Perhaps you can find a way to cure you there. At the very least, you should go and see your 'sister'. Ms. Lingke is still alive. I think this is why you must embark on this journey, right?"

"You are very perceptive."

Erza glanced at Murphy and felt that the Scarlet Lord was a little too nosy.

But she said no more, and followed Murphy to the bridge.

A few minutes after the two left the observation tower, the lights here dimmed strangely. In the flickering darkness, a slimy creature stretched its eel-like body in this mechanical place, and finally chose a comfortable posture to lie down.

It seems like he has found a new "nest" for himself.

After a few seconds, the lights came back on. There was no change here compared to before. Just stepping in would give you a unique sense of "slipperiness".

Well, that's really uncomfortable.
-
"The Star Giant can no longer hold on! Retreat! Retreat to where the Star Seed is! Everyone, everyone who can still move, take action!"

Happy Stick's hoarse roar echoed in all the communication channels of the seven levels above and below the Star Giant.

But to be honest, the soldiers who were able to receive the news and evacuate at this time can already be regarded as the real "lucky fish". Being able to survive at this point in the battle is definitely not a problem that can be solved by combat skills or tactics.

Nearly 60,000 players stationed here were wiped out, all the sentinel warriors of the Daughter of Glory were wiped out, and even the hunting patrol ship itself had entered the stage of material reconstruction on the battlefield.

All the new recruits of the Astra Militarum were wiped out, and the casualty rate of the veterans from General Maxim down reached 86%. The situation on the Astra Militarum Rangers' side was similar.

Even the six golden gods that the Callum people came to support and the machines that Murphy moved from the creation engine were beyond repair and could not fight. They collapsed on the broken walls of the star giant like metal tombstones. Of all the soldiers of the Callum East China Sea Navy that were brought to the star realm, less than one-tenth were still able to move.

Even more than half of Sim's mind flayers were killed, and all the lords of the astral wolf pack led by Eris were buried here. The blood left by the demigods who had just been promoted to astral gods could almost drown the astral giants.

They fought here for a full six hours, blocking the endless Chaos Army for six hours, allowing the maturity of the Star Seed to reach 55%. Only the last 5% was left to complete the reshaping of the Star Realm.

But I can’t hold on any longer!

The Mother Goddess of Earth lent her power of mountains and rivers to Wam to die, but the price was that the Mother Goddess had transformed into a "warrior monk" and was able to crush the crazy Chaos Demons to death with her bare hands.

Well, speaking of the top-level Chaos Demons, most of the Chaos Demons under the command of Tao, Shou and Original Sin have already died.

Judging from the casualties at the elite level alone, it is really difficult to say which side has gained the real advantage.

"Go and guard the defense line outside the Star Seed!"

Happy Stick pushed away Commodore Fraser who wanted to help him. He calmly turned on the detonation switch of the digital rate torpedoes that had been placed beside him, and said to Fraser in a very casual manner:

"I am the commander here! My brothers and sisters never retreated a step until their death. I don't want to embarrass them and be criticized for the rest of my life. I will stay here, and you guys can go back.

Oh, by the way, Ms. Miriam is the most perfect partner you, a fool, can ever find in your life. When you return to the material world alive, you must get her no matter what.
Okay, that's all, see you in three days."

The tired Happy Stick leaned on the pile of dangerous digital rate torpedoes, flicked off the mask of the damaged Phoenix Warrior power armor, lit a cigar for himself, watched Fraser jump onto the shuttle behind with tears in his eyes, and when several embarrassed Chaos Demons pounced on him, he punched the switch beside him hard.

A dazzling black halo erupted on the highest command platform of the Star Giant, sucking in everything around it. The glorious and majestic Star Giant also collapsed like a washed away sand castle.

The incomparably sturdy city wall was shattered, and the chaotic current surged into the star realm like a tsunami.

The maturity of the Star Seed has reached 56% at this moment, with only the last 4% left!

In the material world, Lao Qin in the Sunset Continent defense line looked at the special instrument in his hand with red eyes. The total reserve manpower displayed on it had dropped to less than 20,000 people. This was the upper limit of the relay that the instrument could withstand after Murphy left the material world and bound the signal relay to the Land of Creation.

At present, chaos invasions comparable to endless insect plagues have broken out in all parts of the material world. The alien warriors are fearless and have become the most steadfast source of confidence on this battlefield. As long as they are still fighting, the Aztecs will not collapse.

However, manpower issues limited these foreign soldiers.

"Master Murphy, hurry up!"

Old Qin stared at the decreasing number. He clenched his fists and entered the Scarlet Son's divine descent state while whispering:

"We will certainly fight to the death here, but the time for victory has come. Now it's up to you."
