Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 613 Restricted Area
The next day, Absolute Fortress.

Boom, boom, boom——!!

The sound of heavy footsteps rang out from the ruined fortress. On the old road full of bricks and rubble, the cobalt blue mecha, which had been transformed into a humanoid form, moved its huge body and advanced step by step along the road.

"Lily, come on, hold this thing."

In the cockpit, Ling Yuzi placed a rune-like object in the hand of Saint Xiaobai and activated it under her curious gaze. After watching the soul-returning mark that took her half a night to condense merge into Saint Xiaobai's body, he nodded with satisfaction and touched Saint Xiaobai's head affectionately.

Om!

Outside the mecha, a somewhat dull buzzing sound was heard, and the cobalt blue mecha had arrived in front of a huge pull rod that was more than ten meters long. It grabbed the chain on the pull rod with both arms and pulled it back heavily. With a loud bang, it bent the pull rod in front of it to another position.

Rumble——! !

A deafening roar sounded, and as the lever fell, the heavy metal door in front of them, which was more than a thousand meters high, began to vibrate slowly. A large amount of rubble and bones rolled down, and the door in front of them opened little by little amid the trembling of the earth, revealing the scene behind it:

Looking around, the entire scene in front of me seemed to be covered by a dark red filter. Scarlet flowers grew from the ruins of the buildings, covering everything in sight.

Dark red light descended from the sky, and an extremely strong smell of corruption gathered into a strong wind, sweeping through the deserted world, blowing up layers of 'waves' on the land covered with scarlet flowers.

Restricted area, here we are.

[Warning: Pioneer has been detected to have entered an ultra-high-risk area. Current area danger level: LV.40. It is recommended to evacuate immediately! ! ]

A harsh warning sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. He looked at the scene in front of him with a slightly fixed gaze. After expanding the Star Luo Domain to explore a distance into the distance, he controlled the cobalt blue mecha to step forward, spread its wings in mid-air, and flew through the gate with a bang and into the air.

[Warning: The pollution erosion concentration in the current area is extremely high. If you move in an exposed environment for a long time, the pollution erosion value will accumulate significantly.]

Another warning sounded, but Xin Lailai ignored the details and instead controlled the cobalt blue mecha to lower his head, looking forward along the ground full of scarlet flowers beneath his feet. Finally, a solemn look flashed across his pupils.

"how."

"There aren't any enemies."

Xin Lailai glanced at the radar map on the cobalt blue mecha and replied. Upon hearing this, Yamu looked at the picture displayed on the screen and fell silent.

There are no enemies.

Under normal circumstances, they should be happy about this sentence, which means that they no longer have to face endless siege by filthy creatures in order to reach their destination.

But it is another matter entirely to not see a single trace of filthy creature in an extremely high-risk area where the filthy power is so dense that even an ordinary second or third-level contractor can die after taking two breaths of air.

You know, according to the memory of the Black Knight, before the guardians rushed out of the restricted area, they had encountered at least ten waves of filthy armies. Otherwise, there would be no need for Akarent Aileen, who was the second guardian at the time, to stay here alone to cover their retreat.

“Maybe this area was cleared just before we arrived.”

"Lily has seen the memories of the Pale Witch. According to her memories, the last time the fortress was attacked by filthy creatures from the restricted area was ten years ago."

Xin Lailai replied. Upon hearing this, Yamu fell silent and looked at the red and somewhat creepy scene on the screen without saying a word.

"It's still a long way from here to where the White Saint is. We'll be able to determine the exact situation once we confirm the situation on the road."

Finally, Xin Lailai spoke and controlled the cobalt blue mecha to enter full speed.

Peng——! !

Gloomy blue flames gushed out from behind the cobalt blue mecha's thrusters, illuminating half of the sky in light blue, forming a sharp contrast with the scarlet color of the earth.

One minute...three minutes...five minutes...

Time passed by bit by bit, and the ruins of one town after another passed by the edge of the screen. As the former site of the White Kingdom, even though nearly a thousand years have passed, some traces of the past can still be seen in the restricted area before one's eyes.

Ancient towns, collapsed walls, bell towers covered with vines, long-abandoned teleportation arrays, dried-up artificial lakes...

One scene after another recorded in the history books of the White Kingdom passed by Xin Lailai and others under the camera of the cobalt blue mecha, as if telling them about the past that had happened on this land.

Inside the cockpit, Ling Yuzi and the Death Bearer were meditating quietly, seemingly uninterested in the outside world. Saint Xiaobai was observing the scene on the ground very seriously, as if she wanted to remember it all in her mind.

Yamu, who should have found a comfortable position to sleep at this time, changed his behavior for some reason. Instead of lying down to rest, he kept staring at the scenes passing by on the ground with a complicated look.

An unusually quiet atmosphere quietly flowed through the cockpit, and when the time at the edge of the screen passed about an hour, Yamu, who had been staring at the scene on the screen, suddenly spoke:

"Brother Black Sword, what did you learn about my past from 04296?"

past?

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai turned his head slightly to look at Yamu, then looked at the scene in front of him, lowered his eyes slightly, and said:

"If you mean your experiences before entering Paradise, not much."

"I guess so. After all, when he first met us, it was after those things happened." Yamu said, and smiled as if he was mocking himself. He stared at the ruins on the screen, his eyes moved slightly, and he said:

"Brother Black Sword, are you interested in hearing a story?"

"explain."

"You are really direct. But this is not bad either."

Yamu looked at Xinlailai's impolite look, smiled, then lay down on his seat, looked up at the ceiling of the cockpit that was emitting soft light, a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and murmured:
"Let me think, where should I start? Hmm... to make it easier to understand, let's start from here."

"A long, long time ago, in an inconspicuous corner of the native world layer, there was once a relatively prosperous seventh-order native world."

"In that world, there is a kingdom that is very similar to this planet. There is a great king who is very similar to the person recorded in those heroic epics. There are tens of thousands of people who are full of hope for that country and full of trust in that king."

"The king worked hard to govern the world, and led his subordinates to explore all kinds of things in his world. He conquered mountains, overturned oceans, broke through the constraints of the sky, and established all kinds of extremely perfect systems. He led the civilization of that world to gradually develop to an extremely prosperous stage, and even made several surrounding worlds actively choose to attach themselves to it, hoping that their world would receive protection from the world led by that king."

"Then, when the king and the world he led reached a certain limit, he had a new ideal, which was to lead the entire world to complete the sublimation of the rank, and to promote his own world from the original world layer of the seventh-order world to a higher rank."

"After clarifying this goal, the king began to actively take various measures. His civilization became stronger and stronger, and the power system of their world became more and more perfect. The number of strong people who broke through the upper limit and reached the eighth level in the entire civilization continued to increase, and the number of worlds incorporated into their civilization map also increased. Everything is developing in the best direction."

"Until one day, he discovered a very special world."

"Unlike the normal world, that world is filled with extraordinary energies of various extreme characteristics. The power system of the entire world is also strange and powerful, and the history of the world is much older than their world."

"So, the king began to gather his men to explore that world, and began to investigate the various documents that existed in that world. He began to learn about various shocking past events, and learned that the area where his world was located was actually a large world community. He learned that this world community had suffered a devastating disaster in the past, and he also learned that the core of the disaster has not left until now, but has been hiding in various worlds."

"He began to investigate, research, and explore. Then, they finally found the source of the disaster recorded by the destroyed civilization, and at that moment, they were destroyed."

"No one knows the specific reason why the disaster occurred. The only thing people can see is that those people around them who they once trusted very much suddenly betrayed them. Lovers, friends, and the most trusted subordinates... It was as if a certain mechanism was triggered, and all the worlds in that world community ushered in similar turmoil at the same time."

"Dark power began to gush out from the cracks in space, and the world community where that world was located was destroyed along with hundreds of millions of lives. The king who had experienced all of this fought to the end with his remaining normal people. He did not make any mistakes and never gave up from beginning to end. He almost lost everything he had, but even so, he still did not stop fighting, and still firmly led the remaining people to find a way out in the world without sunlight."

"Then, the source of the disaster appeared. It told the king the truth about everything, what it had done along the way, and why it had been able to persist until now."

"Unusual trait, loyalty."

"This is the name of the anomaly that appeared in the disaster. Those people whose temperaments suddenly changed were just being true to their unknown side. Those who seemed normal were just being true to their normal side. The king who never gave up from beginning to end was just being true to his ideals, and those who firmly followed him were just being true to their beliefs."

"Beautiful, vulgar, great, despicable... In the end, everything that happened in the world was just a game under the abnormal property called 'loyalty'. The incarnation of this abnormal property, which was an embodiment of extraordinary wisdom, did those things just for the sake of momentary fun."

"That's the whole story, Brother Black Sword, is there anything else you want to hear?"

In the cockpit, Yamu looked at the scene in front of him and said to Xin Lailai beside him. Xin Lailai listened to Yamu's story without saying anything, but just stared at the front quietly. After a long time, he spoke:

"At the end of that world, did anyone survive?"

"Yes, and there are two more. At the most critical moment, a group of pioneers from the outside world successfully entered that world, ended everything, and saved the king's six-year-old daughter and a useless guy."

Yamu spoke, his voice sounding a little low. He stared at the scene in the distance, with golden arcs dancing in his pupils, and muttered:
"That good-for-nothing clings to the man who saved him and joins the same system as him. He works as a trainee in the transit station for ten years, becomes the editor-in-chief of Paradise Express, and finally becomes a pioneer."

"However, no matter what the outcome, he never forgot the oath he made to protect the king's daughter, and..."

"We must...wipe out all the abyssal creatures in this world."

Calm voices echoed from the cockpit. Xin Lailai listened to the voices echoing in his ears, stared at the dilapidated ruins of civilization in the distance, and said:

"It's a very good ideal. It coincides with the idea of ​​someone I learned from Brother Ritian."

"Really? I thought you, Brother Black Sword, would stand up and say that this ideal is too emotional or something?"

Upon hearing this, Yamu smiled frivolously, his eyes vaguely sweeping between Xin Lailai and the corner of the screen.

"By the way, how long will it take to reach our destination?"

"Thanks to Brother Yamu's story, after a while, I think it will be... OK, it's time."

Xin Lailai opened his mouth, but halfway through his words his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the scene on the screen and changed his words.

In the cockpit, Saint Xiaobai, who was blinking and thinking about the content of the conversation between Xin Lailai and Yamu, looked at the picture on the screen and stood up from her seat with a bang.

Sitting in the seat, the Death Master, who had ended his meditation state at some point, no longer remained silent. Instead, he took out the weapon from the storage space, and wisps of death began to rise from his dark blue pupils.

In the scene observed by the cobalt blue mecha, a pale color suddenly appeared on the scarlet earth. Clusters of crystal clear white crystals clustered together and piled up into high mountains.

At the foot of the Crystal Mountain, a transparent crystal coffin was quietly located there. Inside the coffin, a long-haired woman in a white dress was lying with her eyes closed. Her beautiful face, which was completely consistent with the intelligence provided by several people, and the white crystal in her hand, all explained the identity of the long-haired woman to Xin Lailai and others:
The Last White Saint - Anna Hugh
