Chapter 280 Time Worm (please subscribe)

On the surface of another nameless planet, a twisted space-time rift appeared, and Dante staggered out of it.

When passing through the distorted space, Dante felt a nauseating feeling. His senses were distorted, and the disordered information caused the brain to become unbalanced, causing him to feel like vomiting. This feeling came and disappeared very quickly. In just an instant, it disappeared without a trace. Only the nausea remained, which made him resist time travel.

The steel combat boots stepped on the hard black mountain rocks, making a crisp and dull impact sound.

Fresh, cold air with a slightly earthy smell flowed into his respiratory system along the purification system.

The helmet panel shows that the oxygen content and temperature in this place are far below human survival standards. Although there are no local flora and viruses, normal people still need to wear a helmet at all times to maintain breathing and constant temperature systems to survive.

However, Dante has received reinforcements, and he can survive in such a harsh environment without a helmet.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Wingate also walked out of the twisted crack. He looked much more relaxed than Dante. After all, he has a special physique and has been traveling in time for many years. He is already familiar with this kind of thing. .

Wingate had also put on a transparent helmet, and the tattered robe was still on his body, making him look like a homeless man in ruins.

He stood next to a huge stone and took out a pointer, a map, a pocket watch, and a dagger engraved with complicated runes.

Dante walked over and took a look. The map was very obscure and consisted of countless runes that he couldn't understand. Wingate opened a data interface in the air, recorded the data of the compass and pocket watch, and then placed his finger on the map. Moving up, as if looking for something.

Dante looked at it for a while and then gave up. He didn't understand this. The empire was a huge organization, and there were people responsible for every field. No one except the God-Emperor could understand everything. They were just screws in the empire.

Dante looked around and saw that they were now on a steep and rocky snowy peak.

This mountain peak is very huge, and it is submerged in the clouds at this time. The rolling clouds make them feel as if they are above the nine heavens.

It was not because the clouds were low, but because this mountain peak was incredibly high. The demon hunting armor scanned the nearby environment at an extremely fast speed and outlined the nearby terrain.

The two of them were on a mountain range tens of thousands of meters high. Dante had been to many planets, but this was the first time he had seen such a high ridge.

At such a high altitude, the temperature is also very low. It is covered with snow and ice all year round, and only some places have exposed black rocks.

The cold wind whistled between the rocks, like countless ghosts screaming.

Looking up, you can see the rolling clouds and mist, as well as the sun rising from the sea of ​​clouds. It is very beautiful. It is the beauty that those artists dream of. If Dante had photographed it and brought it back, it would have definitely caused those artists to go crazy. sought after.

However, Dante ignored the beautiful scenery that was enough to drive countless artists crazy. He turned around and looked at Wingate and Wingate who were not far away, holding maps, compasses, and pocket watches, and calculating the location of the next node.

"Where is this place?"

"I don't know." Wingate shook his head and did not look up at Dante. He kept looking down at the map, comparing it with the compass from time to time to confirm his position and time.

Dante was speechless for a while, "You don't know why you brought me here? You said you would send me back, did you just send me back without knowing anything?"

This time, Wingate raised his head, looked at Dante and explained seriously, "I didn't bring you here, but the ocean currents in subspace brought us here. This is a transit point for us to return to the future. ."

Dante scratched his head, "Why don't we just go back! As time travelers, shouldn't you have some kind of time machine? Just set the time, and then you can go back to my original point in time."

"Watch less movies," Wingate said. "Time travel is not that simple. The time we perceive is linear, but in fact it is multidimensional."

"What does this mean? Help from Time Agent No. 9527?" Dante asked in confusion.

"Have you ever seen a map? It's a flat, two-dimensional planet map without high dimensions. Normal people always think that the distance between two points should be the shortest. This is correct in theory, but in reality there are many Unexpected. The two-dimensional map does not show those mountains and cliffs, or even canyons, swamps and other insurmountable places. Human beings look at time like looking at a two-dimensional map. Going directly from the past to the future is the closest, but there are The risk is enough to swallow us up. We may even get lost and fall into the deepest part of the subspace. We must follow the ocean current, that is the safest way to reach the target point safely."

"Okay." Dante finally decided not to interfere too much. People are professionals in time travel.

"We have to walk a few kilometers to get to the next node."

Wingate calculated the answer, put away his map and compass, and moved forward.

Dante looked around, and there was nothing around him except the white snow.

There were only two of them in the vast world. He could only keep up with Wingate. He didn't know much about time travel. If he wanted to return to the battlefield and return to his familiar companions, he could only rely on the help of time agent No. 9527.

They crossed steep cliffs and jagged rocks. The wind in the mountains howled like a ghost, and it also carried intermittent rain, which wet their bodies.

Wingate and Dante are both wearing auxiliary armor, so this place is not a big challenge for them.

"What's your name?" Dante asked as he turned over a boulder.

"The court is on duty at time 9527," Wingate said.

"I meant my real name."

Wingate stopped and looked at Dante, "I can't tell you your real name, as that might interfere with your future destiny. I think you should travel quietly, don't do too much, and don't dwell on the details. More Don’t be curious to find the truth. The universe operates in a way that we think is reasonable. If the universe goes awry, we will go awry too.”

"Okay." Dante shrugged.

"Let's go, I will take you back as soon as possible, Demon Hunter King." Wingate said, "Let you be promoted as destiny planned."

"What do you know?" Dante asked. "Do you see my future in time? What is it like?"

"The God-Emperor has made arrangements," Wingate said. "You don't need to know what will happen in the future, you just need to complete your responsibilities. The maintenance of time is ours, not yours."

"Are you all such Riddlers?"

"You standing here are part of the answer, but you don't know how to see it yet. As for us who dabble in this way, we have already understood the arrangement of the God Emperor. A clever plan and a carefully planned result may happen in the future. More similar things, the past will be intertwined with the future, weaving into traps." "You told me these things, but you didn't intend to tell me the details."

"Of course I can't tell you."

"Okay, I knew it."

The two were having a boring conversation to pass the time on this boring trip. After they crossed the ridge, they saw an endless, weathered plateau. There was also a huge stone building with an infinite geometric structure on the plateau. maze.

"Are those cities built by alien races? Are there enemies here?" Dante glanced at it and judged immediately that the building did not belong to humans. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to fight at any time.

Wingate also took a look at the maze of majestic megalithic buildings, "Probably not. This is a place of death. There is no breath of life in the ether wind. It may just be the remains of a city left by an alien civilization. Target point Somewhere in the city, let’s go, be careful.”

The megalithic buildings extended in all directions until the end of the horizon. The two walked down the ridge, entered the plateau, and walked towards the magnificent city, just like two ants crawling towards the giant city built by the Titans in ancient Greece.

Wingate's guess was correct. This was just the remains of a city left by a lost civilization. They did not live here. It was even possible that this race had become extinct.

The universe has been around for so long, how many races have become the gods and the food of the past, and how many civilizations have been put on the table as cakes.

While traveling in the galaxy, we can often see the relics of those races. They are floating in the vast void and are the last ashes of those once glorious civilizations.

The two crossed a majestic, mountain-like black wall and entered the interior of the city. The buildings inside were completely different from human-style buildings. They were generally made of huge stones of original black slate, granite or sandstone.

Many buildings vary in size, including numerous huge honeycomb-shaped buildings, individual small buildings, cones, pointed cones or terrace-like steps, as well as perfect columns, cubes, cube groups and other structures.

The builders used various dome structures familiarly to make it look very grand and tall.

Buildings in many places have collapsed, but the overall structure is still intact.

"This civilization must have been prosperous before." Dante commented while looking at the city model outlined in the battle armor scan data.

"No matter how prosperous it is, it has become history. Who will know what they were called," Wingate said.

"Do you think humans will be like this in the future? Only the ruins of the hive cities are left all over the galaxy, empty and dilapidated. And we have long been extinct. No one knows our story, and no one cares about what we have done. What."

"I don't know. If we work harder and keep the empire strong, we may be able to avoid this fate. If we fail, destruction is the inevitable fate."

They witnessed the last remnants of a civilization, an unknown race that had been burned away over the ages, and only these megalithic structures remained. When these megalithic buildings were bulldozed by latecomers or the city's stones were excavated to build their own cities, the last traces of that race left in this universe would have disappeared, and no one would remember them anymore.

Just as Wingate finished speaking, a strange howling sound suddenly came from everywhere. This sound made the time traveler's face suddenly freeze, "How come it comes so fast!!"

Dante also heard the sound. He drew his sword and prepared for battle. He looked around vigilantly and asked Wingate in a low voice, "What is coming."

"Our enemies." Wingate said, "There are many time creatures wandering in the long river of time. They are organisms in another form. They are not real creatures, nor monsters in subspace, but they are equally powerful. Run. , Lord of Demon Hunting, we have to hide as soon as possible."

Wingate ran towards the place pointed by the compass. He had to leave before those monsters arrived, otherwise he would be hunted down.

Dante scanned the surroundings again and didn't see any enemies, but seeing Wingate's nervous look, he still chose to believe it and ran with him.

boom! !

As soon as Dante ran away, a huge tentacle appeared where he was, causing gravel to fly on the ground.

Then a monster appeared from the twisted sky and clung to a majestic building. It looked like a huge worm, with dense tentacles growing under its body. Its two eyes were large and protruding, and even its mouthparts were Countless small tentacles also stretched out from the position, dancing wildly.

It moved quickly through the ruins of the city, chasing Dante and Wingate. The buildings along the way were knocked down by its body, making a rumbling collapse sound. The ruins of those buildings caused countless smoke and dust to billow and rise, covering the place. A ruined city.

The monster is huge, but its moving speed is not slow at all. On the contrary, it is surprisingly fast. With its brutal strength, it crushes the buildings blocking the road, constantly closes the distance with Dante and Wingate, and continues to run like this. Come down, they will be caught sooner or later.

"What kind of monster is that?!" Dante's face became solemn.

"Those bugs I told you about," Wingate replied as he ran.

"Bug??" Dante turned back and compared the size of the monster with his own size. Who is so creative and calls such a big guy a bug? Is it because he is afraid that people will be too vigilant and the other party will not be able to catch it? ? ? "We can't keep running. We have to kill it and prepare for battle in advance. It is better than rushing to fight after being caught up."

"Keep running. It's stupid. You can get rid of it with a little skill. There's no need to fight."

"Wouldn't it be better to kill it?"

"If you don't want to be chased by time worms on this journey, don't have that thought. There are countless them, and killing one is like provoking a group of them like poking a hornet's nest."

The tentacles danced in the air, and the huge sound of breaking through the air made Dante's heart sink. When he turned around, he saw that the opponent had already caught up with him, and the huge tentacles were slamming towards him.

He chose to change direction urgently and speed up, avoiding the tentacle's attack.

boom! The rocks on the ground shattered, countless rubbles flew out, and smoke and dust billowed. Just a casual blow was so powerful that it could turn a heavy levitating tank into a discus.

The time worm stretched out its tentacles again, knocking down the building in front of the two of them, forcing them to stop. Another tentacle also attacked at this time, heading straight for their faces.

"We don't want to fight, but are you sure it will let us go??" Dante adjusted his body, jumped up, then landed firmly, drew his sword and activated it.

　The picture of the time worm is just like this.

　　I originally wanted to build a space station or a fleet, but I was busy for a long time and couldn't come up with it.
