Civilization Guardian Front

"It's amazing, even if you're almost dead, you can still have an A-rank. This guy was probably close to an S-rank when he was in his prime, right?"

"That's right."

Athena nodded slightly, not taking the other party's seemingly casual attitude seriously.

""Dark Soul" was only one step away from the S-rank in the heyday of the Age of Fire. However, there are fatal flaws in the laws of the world that make it up, which leads to its inevitable decline over time. Now it is the end of the road, and we can only Stay alive by eating other worlds."

As soon as the allusion of the fantasy world that threatened the hinterland of the legion was revealed, the eyes of the executors in the hall suddenly changed.

"Excuse me, it turned out to be..."

"Going to that oppressive place full of stinking corpses... well, just thinking about it makes my stomach churn..."

Unlike Aurelia, who was interested in finding a worthy opponent, Sarah directly expressed her physical discomfort by covering her stomach with her hands.

On the third pillar of the apostle, Maria Bell turned her face to look at her colleague with a bad complexion.

"You should be thankful that at least it didn't come from "Bloodborne Curse" from a similar fantasy source, otherwise you might have to bring a psychiatrist to work with you."

Renn on the side also responded with a smile:

"Do you want Ren to teach you the method of independent schizophrenia? It can effectively protect the personality, big sister~"

"Both of you stop talking..."

Sarah said with a bitter face.

Seeing that the companions on the opposite side still have room to tease each other, Tifa deeply felt the gap in combat experience between the two sides.

Turning his head to confirm the status of his partner, he found that the young man was stuck in place, his face was stiff, and he was not as calm and indifferent as usual.

She whispered to the other party worriedly:

"Chios?"

"..."

Is this... so serious...

Is the boyfriend the type who is afraid of mummies and mummies?But it doesn't look like it...

Indeed, whether it is a chopped body or a dissected donor soaked in formalin, for Chios, who double majored in law and medicine at university, and followed the media to the scene of the murder during his internship, It can be said that it is not surprising.

Even if it was a walking mummy, he would never have such a reaction.

What really made him shudder was some kind of power lurking in the dark.

I still remember that the fox who was dispatched to the battlefield as a quartermaster once told himself that bullying her would attract a real salary king...

The result became a truth.

It is still fulfilled together with the flag-planting speech of the witch Iron Tooth of Vita a few days ago...

Is this to be blamed on simple bad luck?

Although he suspected that someone was embarrassing himself, Chios also knew that being suspicious was not good for his mental health, and would instead make his sanity go to zero, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on military affairs.

He nodded to Tifa to indicate that he was fine, then consciously connected to the coat of arms and asked to speak.

After receiving permission, Chios took a step forward.

"Alliance..."

"Well, go ahead."

"What is our main mission? Is there a source of soldiers in the eroded territory that can provide us with assistance?"

"To answer your first question first..."

Soon, Athena gave an answer that shocked everyone:

"Unfortunately, there will be no clear missions for you this time. The reason is that "Dark Soul" is not like the mission world you have experienced before, which is just a simple cycle of fate, but a continuous spiral downward until everything burnt to death, and finally to a dead world."

"The ending of its decline cannot be reversed by changing the fate of many important plot characters, but that its own structure is flawed. If the lack of operating rules cannot be repaired, even the Legion has no other way. Destroy it before dragging you into the abyss."

! ?

Unable to remain silent any longer, the Maiden of the Spear stood up.

"Master, that kind of thing..."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was stopped by the head of the army raising his hand.

"Back then, the commander of the Ninth Army used the only method he knew...to destroy the world to break the false myths that bound us when his own strength was insufficient, and he dedicated everything to the survival of the front line."

"Because of its sacrifice, let us avoid many detours. Today's Legion has sufficient strength and knowledge to bear the consequences of destroying the world."

Hearing this, Chios frowned slightly.

The story from Athena's mouth is obviously different from the information about the commander of the Ninth Army that he saw when he went to the big library to inquire about the power of the world in the past.

Ninth Legion...

What mysteries are still hidden?

"Of course, destruction is only a last resort..."

On the throne, Athena quietly calmed down the inner turmoil caused by mentioning the past, and continued:

"Because I have not completely given up hope, I am sending you to that dying world to find a chance to save it."

Chapter 790 ?

"The eroded Nightingale Cantilever NZW-0025172 Dominion, the source of the allusion to the world of "Sword Art Online", has requested support from the Seventh Legion at 10:54 today."

The projection screen in the center of the hall moves, focusing on the blue stars next to the red celestial body.

The dotted line extending from the core to the side space expands the translucent information interface up and down, displaying the world's important information concisely and efficiently with floodlight text.

Regardless of whether they have heard or come into contact with the allusions, the performers present can quickly understand the world structure.

"Tsk, the strength is too bad!"

After reading the description under the sub-column of world level, Xia Li couldn't help being speechless.

"A low-mystery world that touches the edge of D-level at most, and the extra technology is all in virtual reality. It is impossible to expect decent local soldiers to assist. Do you want them to drop nuclear bombs on the initial furnace and launch fighters to fight dragons?"

"No, there won't be that chance..." Vita closed her folding fan, pointing to the information about the basic abilities of local humans.

The condensed and undissipated blue light circled the focus with her movements.

"The residents in the Dominion don't even have a concept of resistance. The curse of the undead will only turn into a corpse faster than that of "Black Soul". Once the laws of the world really erode, they will immediately paralyze all countries. In the abyss that erupted in the middle, within a month it will be reduced to a hell where only living corpses and mutated monsters remain."

As if that wasn't enough of a headache...

"And..." Ryan shook his head, sighed and added:

"Under the pressure of the "Dark Soul" system where the soul determines the strength, it is hard to say whether weapons such as tanks, fighter planes, and missiles that lack the support of higher-level concepts can work normally. It's trash."

The world works in different ways, and while many physical properties may appear to be the same at first glance, they may be the result of convergence formed by the development of completely different laws.The metal also called "iron", in the two worlds with huge differences in laws, may have a world of difference in toughness and hardness because of the different basic elements.

The same is true for energy. Things that can be used as fuel in one world may be just a sticky useless sludge in another worldview.

Dark Souls and Sword Art Online are ready-made examples of brutality.

Therefore, there is no need to expect technological weapons to play a role in this battle...

In the case of completely crushing opponents in the weight class, the erosion of the world is destined to end with the strong overriding the law of the weak one-sidedly.

"In other words, we can only rely on us to fight..."

"Fighting on the enemy's home field, there is no local source of troops to recruit, and we have to find out the flaws in the laws of the world to solve the problem..."

"Oh, there are not enough people."

Seeing that the directions of her elite executors were becoming increasingly pessimistic, Athena tapped the armrest of the throne with her fingertips.

hum...

The sound of vibration like a tuning fork cut off the conversation and echoed in everyone's ear canal.

The executors in the hall stopped discussing immediately.

"Don't jump to conclusions, the Dominion is not useless. It is indeed weak, but after the development of virtual reality technology to the extreme, it has created a subsidiary world with a complete ecosystem, which is about to give birth to its own will."

The projected image cooperates with the words of the head of the legion, zooming in to the junction of the red and blue worlds.

Until this moment, the executors finally realized that there was an extremely inconspicuous Tao there, like a scar or a crack in the middle.

Looking deep into the crack, one can see a dim star.

Although the brightness and size are much smaller than the other light clusters in the cantilever, it is undoubtedly a "world".

Countless thin threads resembling blood vessels and tentacles protrude from the red celestial body representing "Dark Soul", piercing its scarred body, as if to completely suck it dry, and stain it with dark red blood from then on...

"As you can see, the world of "Sword Art Online" used the only bait in its hands to let "Dark Soul" devour the new subsidiary world before its own homeland was eroded, and it did not fall directly."

Athena went on to explain how the whole thing unfolded...

If there is no external force to intervene, the attached world will be devoured within a day, at best it is just a trick to survive and delay the death.

The will of the world belonging to "Sword Art Online" certainly understands this.

Therefore, it decisively handed over the jurisdiction of the subsidiary world to the Legion.

After the Seventh Legion took over the theater, it invested a lot of world power to reinforce it, which finally slowed down the fierce erosion of the law.

As long as the affiliated world is not completely swallowed and merged, the "Sword Art Online" homeland can be guaranteed to be safe and sound.

In other words...

"I made that subsidiary world into a cage to temporarily imprison "Dark Soul", and at the same time, it is also the main battlefield for you to go to."

I see...

Under the originally established fate, most of the important plots of "Sword Art Online" took place in the virtual world, so that the stage itself has a considerable degree of world and the power of destiny, which can almost be regarded as another world.

No matter what the innate deficiency of "Dark Soul" is, in order to continue its own existence, it must devour the power of the world as much as possible...

Therefore, by thickening the invisible "eggshell" on the outermost layer of the subsidiary world's invisible barrier, and increasing the nutrients contained in the "egg white and egg yolk" inside, the Legion kept the hungry and dying "Dark Soul" busy Devour it to achieve the purpose of trapping it.

After sorting out the known information in his mind, Chios began to deduce...

With the shrewdness of the direct superior, the power supply of the world inside the shell should be equal to the power decay rate of "Dark Soul" itself, maintaining a balance line that neither starves to death nor restores vitality.

But that doesn't mean the pressure is off.

First of all, it is impossible for the legion to constantly mobilize the power of other territories within the jurisdiction to satisfy the appetite of the invaders' bottomless pit; secondly, even if the rate of erosion slows down, sooner or later the laws of the subsidiary world will be fully covered.

Therefore, the period before the "eggshell" breaks is the time limit for the executors to find out the structural flaws of "Dark Soul".

If there is still no way to save the three worlds at the same time...

Athena will take action to wipe out all the existences assimilated by the laws of "Dark Soul", including the subsidiary world.

Chios wasn't the only one who came to this conclusion.

"Alliance..."

The seventh pillar of the apostles finished his contemplation, opened his eyes again, and asked:

"How much time do we have?"

"150 standard days, 5 years in the mission world."

Athena answered.

She turned her head to look at Chios, and there was a hint of guilt in her calm eyes.

"I have a hunch that in that world full of despair and darkness, you will find an opportunity to restore your origin...So sorry, your vacation will be postponed."

"Just give me more money when you come back."

"good."

Nodding his head in agreement, the commander of the Seventh Army stood up from the throne and waved his hand to order:

"Here grants the apostle the authority to use the "Palace of Heaven" and its bound destiny wonders: "Treasure of the Sky", "Treasure of Illusion"..."

"[Body Devouring Snake] The second, third, and seventh pillars of the apostle, the executors NO.O, NO.III, NO.VII, NO.IX, NO.XV, NO.XVI, NO.XVII, [Iron Fleet] Team members "Super Speed", "Fortitude", and "Magic Bow" were immediately dispatched to the Dominion No. NZW-0025172. "

""yes! ""
