Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 243 The Fourth Wall
He stared at the dignified girl in front of him.

Although he was in a bright environment, the surrounding atmosphere still made Otto feel creepy.
The Temple of Time and the Insect of Time, from these keywords alone, it is easy to see that this is a temple dedicated to the Insect of Time.

The people who established it were undoubtedly members of the Ashes Alliance. After briefly sorting out the known information, Otto asked the question he was most concerned about with the help of the clones.

"I wonder where I can find the remaining survivors of the Ash Alliance."

Hearing this question, Vanessa smiled sheepishly, and then shook her head calmly.

"Sorry, my system module does not include the answer to this question. According to the recorder, 7763 standard years have passed since the Temple of Time was last awakened. This server does not have records of relevant content. Maybe you You can go to other temples and check with the relevant person in charge.”

Yes, although she looks so lifelike, the girl named Vanessa in front of her is actually just an artificial intelligence formed by holographic projection. Otto immediately noticed this not long after entering the temple.

While thinking, he cast his gaze behind the other person again, and saw a girl with the same appearance as the AI ​​in the center of the huge crystal tree.

Her flesh has not rotted, and the random clusters of crystals have completely penetrated her body, and some have emerged from her body.

Although it is somewhat unbelievable, the intertwined crystal stones that were huge enough to support the entire temple seemed to have grown directly from the girl's body. The whole process must have been full of torture.

What is even more shocking is that there is more than one similar crystal stone.
And without exception, these people still maintained a pious posture until death came, as if they were praying for some kind of miracle to come.

He was curious about what happened here. He couldn't figure out what purpose made these young girls willing to become martyrs.

Not surprisingly, these martyrs are also members of the Ashes Alliance.

After regaining his composure, Otto continued to ask the AI ​​in front of him.

"You mean there's more than one building like this?"

"Yes, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, the Advent Sect built a total of five sanctuaries in the galactic space code-named 72."

"Ritual? What kind of ceremony?"

When he said this, Otto's tone became obviously excited, and he didn't know why he was like this.

It was an unexplainable anger, as if he was puzzled by the stupid behavior in front of him.

"The purpose of the ritual is to re-establish contact with the [Invisible God]."

Hearing this, Otto made a tentative inquiry with an indescribable mood.

"Could it be that the invisible god is referring to the [player]?"

Then, he got an answer he didn't really want to hear.

"You are right. With its ever-changing characteristics and omnipotent power, it is a well-deserved invisible god. Since it lost contact with the Alliance, we have been trying to find the connection with [ Players] chance to get in touch again.”

"The Advent sect was established at this time."

Sure enough, it was like this. At this moment, Otto really couldn't figure out why these guys left the role of [player] and became like this. What kind of truth is there. Because in his opinion, all this was just a game he played in his spare time, but when he learned that all this had become a reality, and witnessed with his own eyes what these people endured in order to attract his attention, After such suffering and what a heavy price was paid.

At this moment, an inexplicable feeling of guilt could not help but fill his heart, and what was even more profound than this was a deep sense of powerlessness. After a slight silence for a period of time, Otto continued to ask helplessly. .

"Can you tell me what the so-called Advent sect is? And what are these crystals about?"

"no problem."

"The Advent Sect was first born in the confused era of declining technology and loss of guidance. It gave the Alliance another direction to explore the world, and it was precisely relying on the self-dedication of millions of devout believers that the Alliance was able to temporarily emerge from the The dilemma at hand.”

Vanessa couldn't help but raise her voice when asked, as if she was completely proud of it, even though she was just an AI.

"With the help of the remaining energy in the ether engine, we successfully opened the passage to another world and escaped the prison where the Creator once imprisoned us. In order to adapt to the new environment, Azuna, the seventeenth leader of the Advent sect, communicated with the Time An agreement was reached through the communication between the insects, and the believers will take the lead in guiding the arrival of the insects through noble dedication and sacrifice, and then use the power of the insects to gain [the player]'s attention."

Not long after the other party finished speaking, Gray Feng, who was listening on the other side of the screen, suddenly made a confused sound.

"Wait. Azuna?"

"Isn't that the captain of the [Time Bug]?"

Time Bug? The scientist who was responsible for studying the Worm of Time incident? Such a big news happened because of receiving the signal from the time bug?

In other words, this matter has been from beginning to end. In order to get my help again, you did not hesitate to sacrifice and torture yourself and tried every means to drag me into this cesspool where you are? ? ?

I have to say that this thing was outrageous from beginning to end.
[What a bunch of pitiful and hateful idiots.]

Then, Vanessa continued to speak.

"As for what exists in the sanctuary now, it is a substance called soul crystal. They are the key to supporting the Temple of Time. Only in this way can these sanctuaries be able to survive through time. It will permanently exist in the time rift torn by the insect, and continue to spread the power of the insect of time, thereby ensuring that [the player] will come again one day in the future."

When he heard this, Otto, who was completely speechless, just wanted to be quiet, but now he had one last question to ask.

"Those square characters, where did you know them?"

Otto was referring to the common Chinese characters that had previously appeared on the stone gate. Obviously, that was unlikely to be the official language of the Ashes Alliance.

Vanessa answered this question like this.

"That is the holy word used by high-dimensional gods."

“We have been fortunate enough to peer into the world where [players] live through the fourth wall. Through long-term research, we have successfully deciphered some of the meanings in those languages, so that one day in the future when we face the invisible God, we will You can use God’s language to communicate with each other.”

"That would be a great blessing for us."
