Blood tax

Chapter 514 God War: Colossus
The panic, despair and depression that filled the space were swept away by the silver light bombardment, and the noisy babbling and dim vision no longer existed.

Griffith, who rushed to support, seemed to have walked into a quiet forest. Tarkin and the umbral he summoned were wiped out, and he couldn't even feel a trace of breath?

"Did you kill him?" Griffith asked, leaning towards Galadia.However, just taking a small step, he felt a burst of abnormality.

The greaves glowed green, a fine layer of moss ran from heel to knee, and the boots split open to reveal a cluster of brightly colored mushrooms.

"No, don't come here yet."

Miss Elf shook her hand at him.On her white and slender wrist, a round of fiery red leaves was impressively bound.The silver morning light fell down, unexpectedly illuminating the swaying flower buds and green grass all over the ground.

The silver arcs of light dissipated, and the cool wind from nowhere blew the ivy branches and leaves. The hazy emerald green gave people a sense of prosperity, and even the white stone ground, walls and sculptures of this underground palace grew tender Buds and buds, keep growing.

Galadia's psychic energy is transforming her surroundings into a plant world.

“冷却，冷却……”她深深吸了一口气，“总之先冷静下来，首先先数质数。2、3、5、7、11、13……”

Griffith heard a small counting sound.

The turbulent tide of spiritual energy gradually subsided, and the plants stopped growing and withered piece by piece.

"Griffith, are you alright?" Galadia looked at the knight, "Every god's hand must carry the power of the gods, and sooner or later the body and spirit will be overwhelmed, and they will mutate constantly out of control and become dangerous." The presence."

Griffith looked down at his hands.During this period of time, it is true that there is often a feeling that the psionic energy is soaring to the point of exploding, but the feeling of losing control is not obvious.

"It's strange, you don't seem to be the same as us," Galadia also realized, "Aaron, Tarkin, and Naira, like me, are all hovering on the verge of losing control. The power of the Chosen One is indeed powerful, but The price is also very tragic. The pursuit of miracles seems to be our only salvation."

"This may be related to the superior existence of our Extraordinary pathway," Griffith said, "I will continue to go deeper to see if Tarkin has been eliminated, and what is hidden underground here."

"Well, I'll go with you."

"But your body."

"Let it go," Galadia brushed back her loose long hair, "Let it go."

……

Canaan's secrets are close at hand.

Gemstone-like crystals have appeared on the left and right of the steps that go deep into the ground, and the bright shimmer is beautiful, as if you are in a fairy tale.

However, Griffith knew that behind this beauty, there was a particularly cruel radiation hidden.Even with the protection of the shield, there is still a slight needle-like pain on the skin.

"Psychic crushing device detected," Bone Ring Minos reminded, "Warning, a level 7 psionic ripple has been detected."

Level 7? !Griffith froze for a moment.

The psionic power of the demigod is only level 6...

"Griffith, don't stop the shield?" Galadia asked softly, "The psychic radiation here is astonishingly high, ordinary people staying here for more than half a minute will be in danger of life."

Suddenly, she stopped.Griffith, who was following behind, also suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It was a feeling of extreme agitation, as if something was staring at him from nowhere.

In this deep underground, the space above the head has become extremely empty at some point, even surpassing the scale of the temple on the ground; the depth under the steps is indescribably deep, as if it can reach the center of the earth.

In the dim light of the crystal, one can vaguely see that there are very strange devices floating in the air nearby——

Each of them is two or three meters high, with an oval-shaped upper part and three-legged lower limbs, like a group of upright squids.Huge crystals are inlaid on their bodies, rippling with ominous light.

These strange devices are lined up like an army, solemn and majestic.

"Is this the weapon they said?" Galadia took Griffith's hand, "I can't feel the breath of life. If this is some kind of puppet that can be manipulated, Tarkin can form a An army to suppress half-elves and humans. The Senate may want to suppress the rebellion and restore order in this way."

"Is this possible? An army, which requires psionic and spiritual power beyond the limits of all living things."

"Unless it transcends creatures," Galadia said, "Canaan has long been researching the mixture of flesh and spirit, and they may have found some way to create an ultimate creature that surpasses common sense, not only to suppress rebellion, but also Solve the pain caused by my people due to the exhaustion of magic power and loss of control.

"Perhaps, the miracle of the Sacrifice of the Chosen One gave just such a possibility.

"You see, social problems are mysteriously solved."

She took out a wand and chanted the spell:

"Let me create a little light and see the whole picture here. Griffith, you can't stay here indefinitely, it's too dangerous."

"After grasping the general situation, I will find a way to escape, and I can leave safely when I return to the ground," Griffith replied, "I will prepare an army to rescue you."

"To tear down our broken forest and then take me away?" Miss Elf smiled, "You know the situation on the edge of Canaan, if a few elite Extraordinary led by Chaofan might be able to break through barely, the army of the brigade will surely Caught in the trap of rules and disintegrated in chaos."

"I will deal with this kind of thing." Griffith squeezed Galadia's hand tightly, "You have to promise me, stick to it."

The two talked in a low voice, and went down the steps that could not see the bottom.The Light Charm rises from the tip of the wand, forming a bright ball of light that floats in the air, illuminating the world around it.

"Tarkin, a God's Hand, won't be defeated so easily," Galadia said. "He's not in good shape, and he didn't fight with all his strength, probably because he put most of... What is it? A wall?"

The blurry darkness gradually reveals its original shape in the light.

This thing is very close, the close one is right in front of you.close enough to prevent other objects from being seen.

Griffith and Galadia gasped.They thought they would see a bottomless hole or a vault full of sealed items, but the sight before them made them hold their breath.

Even with the strength of a Sequence 6 transcendent, there is a kind of trembling with weak legs.

The huge and indescribable object surpassed all objects in the world, and even caused physiological confusion in people's vision and consciousness.

It filled the entire field of vision, making all creatures ridiculously small.The strange shape, the ferocious appearance, beyond all reason and experience, made it unrecognizable for a while.

Gradually, when the senses are flooded, the chaotic information frantically twists together...

Galadia saw a murderous head, like some kind of squid, with no top, no neck, whose body was hidden in the dark depths that could not be seen.

The huge size of this head surpassed the mountain peak, the surface was covered with weird scales, and there were disgusting tentacles hanging from the mouthparts, hanging there, just looking at it, there was an indescribable horror and strong physical discomfort. come.

Griffith almost instinctively came up with a word from the bottom of his heart:

Colossus!

Every inch of this giant buried deep in the ground seems to exist for the purpose of crazy slaughter. Looking at it will arouse some kind of terrifying horror rooted in human instinct, and the frenzied wailing and screams fill the mind. Illusory, yet real and depressing.

"Tarkin is activating the Eradicator deep underground..."

Galadia whispered almost dreamily.

"This, this is the war colossus that Canaan sealed up in ancient times, a huge three-legged protoplasmic life form, with heavy armor and shields, equipped with proton cannon arrays that look like tentacles. The huge size can crush war elephants... …I heard a few snippets, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

With a strong aura of destruction and almost chaotic nothingness, this colossus is like rocks and mountains, silent in the ground.

The mere moment of looking at it traumatized the mind.

Griffith and Galadia heard two illusory sounds of dice at the same time.A rift opened in their sanity, and chaos, evil, fear, and anger poured forth.

Rationality is being lost.At the same time, they learned some mystical knowledge——

"Colossus: Neutron Extermination, used to incinerate all organisms on a planet.

"(Gene Ascensionism Unable to Activate)"

"..."

"..."

As if the language had been deprived, Griffith and Galadia turned around at the same time and fled back along the steps.

Behind them, an earth-shattering momentum crushed them.The Colossus woke up.It roared like a dragon elephant from the deep underground, and steps, walls, domes, everything was collapsing.

The breath of Tarkin Amon, who disappeared not long ago, resurfaced again, and seemed to merge with the colossus.

"Tarkin, is that you?" Galadia yelled as she ran, "Stop it, it's going to ruin everything!"

Tarkin's whisper lingered in his ears:

"It's time to let go of the flesh and blood that imprisons our minds and souls.

"By transferring our consciousness into synthetic vessels, we will evolve into entirely new life forms.

"Galradia, the end is coming, and we will all be swallowed up.

"Abandoning the original characteristics of our race is the only salvation.

"I, the Colossus."
