Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 263 The Past of the World·Part [-]

The heavy rain and strong wind blew the unstable gravel and debris in the ruins, and the rain and mud mixed together, roaring at the two figures sitting in the heavy rain.

"First, there's the war."

An infectious voice that seemed to carry special magic sounded from under the mask of Zhizi Yingyin. The man in a tuxedo propped his arm on the coffee table and raised a finger.

"Yes, war, war that affected the whole world."

"I believe you all already know what impact the dark rain two years ago had on the world, right?"

As Zhizi Yingyin spoke, he looked at a scene to the side and said with a smile.

Xin Lailai followed the other person's gaze and saw a huge stone monument with only half of it standing there, letting the wind and rain blow.

"Dark steel?"

"That's right, that's it. It's called the miracle metal given by the gods - dark steel."

"I don't know its origin or origin. It's just like the gust of wind mentioned in the Bible. It just came and brought changes to the world."

"People praise it, use it to build high buildings and city walls, embed it like jewels into the bodies of warriors and children, and use it to defend against evil beasts that devour the world."

"Land, population, resources... When Anbao Steel appeared on this land, people began to regain everything they had lost materially."

"Army, soldiers, weapons... Under the power of dark steel, the once terrifying monsters were like wild beasts with their claws pulled out. Just like when humans picked up stone spears thousands of years ago, they once again grabbed To land that was never really theirs."

"The Second Gastrea War, the battle to revive the world, although its current name has become the Day of the Devil's Arrival, people at that time actually called this war that way."

"Composed of 87 dark steel armed forces, 24 special legions of the Cursed Sons, and a total of 14 registered pairs of policemen from all over the world, a total of 122 million people have fought since the advent of the gastrea. The largest military operation ever conducted officially broke out at 2031:10 pm on October 28, 14 in this world."

"Fifteen million, although it is an incomplete statistical number, the number of gastrula destroyed in that battle should not be lower than this number."

"Every day, tens of thousands of humans die, but at the same time, millions of gasterozoans are exterminated. With the weapons made by Anbaogang, it only took 6 days for humans to succeed. More than 7% of the lost territory was recovered, and a total of [-] Zodiacs were killed."

"Don't you think this is incredible? Mr. Performer, history is like a gradually accelerating wave. In the past, it took humans thousands of years to occupy the entire world, but it only took the gastrea animals a short time. Take it away in ten years.”

"And when Anchao Steel appeared, it took only half a year for people to successfully take back some land from the gasterozoans."

"Everything seems to be developing in a faster and more abrupt direction. Whenever I think about it, I feel as if I am standing next to a dam that is about to burst. I wonder, Mr. Performer, do you have this kind of experience? Feel?"

Zhizi Yingyin spoke in a bard-like tone, couldn't help but look at the sky and sighed.

"Unfortunately, no. All I can see is a ruin that was washed away by the flood."

Xin Lailai glanced at the dim sky with thunder and lightning, lowered his head to take the tea handed over by Ling Yuzi, sipped the tea, and replied in a calm tone.

"Really, that's such a shame, I would have thought our views on this would be as similar as our dress sense?"

"Then let's continue the story."

As Zhizi Yingyin spoke, he looked at Xin Lailai in front of him, staring into the other person's dark eyes that showed no emotion, and said slowly in a sinister voice:

"Mr. Showman, have you ever seen the end of the world?"

"Unfortunately, I've seen it."

Xin Lailai's voice sounded, causing Zhizi Yingyin to pause for a moment, obviously not expecting Xin Lailai to say such a sudden thing.

"Then, what happened after that?"

Xin Lailai put down the tea cup gently, looked at Zhizi Yingyin in front of him, and said.

"Nothing, it's just the end of one war and the beginning of another."

Zhizi Yingyin smiled and said in a somewhat frivolous tone, with a faint light flashing in his pupils.

"After spending six days wiping out all the zodiac signs except Cancer, the soldiers with high momentum gathered together and launched a general attack on the last zodiac sign."

"In the end, after 7 hours and 45 minutes, under the leadership of the Leviathan Archon, Satomi Rentaro, mankind succeeded in killing the strongest zodiac sign, Cancer, at the cost of 13 casualties."

"It was at that moment that a new war came without warning."

"When Cancer's body turned into a sea of ​​fire under the gunfire, burning and sinking to the bottom of the sea, dark rain suddenly fell from the sky."

"People immersed in the joy of victory raised their heads and looked at the ominous rain, witnessing together the process of new despair coming to the world."

“2031年11月4日下午4时16分，大裂渊出现在了太平洋南部区域。”

“2031年11月4日下午4时17分，比阶段Ⅴ更加恐怖的，十一只史无前例的原肠动物降临。”

“2031年11月4日下午4时22分，俄罗斯地区所率领的奥尔加錵钢武装军与受诅之子特殊部队全军覆没。”

“2031年11月4日下午4时24分，澳洲地区所率领的方尖碑武装军与特殊部队，巴别塔全军覆没。”

“2031年11月4日下午4时28分，美洲地区……”

Zhizi Yingyin was like a cold reporting machine, spitting out heavy battle reports one after another, and finally:
“2031年11月4日下午4时46分，历时30分钟，以阵亡278543人为代价，世界联合军成功掩护海上要塞利维坦撤离主战场。”

"At 2031:11 pm on November 4, 4, a large number of gastrula were observed to emerge from the Great Rift Abyss. At the same time, what emerged from the Great Rift Abyss was named Sagittarius in the new zodiac. Shooting down an orbiting satellite over the Pacific Ocean caused a complete paralysis of Australia's regional communication network."

“2031年11月4日下午5时0分，海上要塞利维坦向全世界通告避难信息。”

“At 2031:11 pm on November 11, 6, the last land city of mankind, the Winter Fortress, fell. Since then, it took humans half a year to regain the territory, and it only took seven days to return it all to the hands of the gastrea. "

"How about this story? Do you think you are satisfied with it?"

After the words fell, Zhizi Yingyin finished speaking and looked at Xin Lailai in front of him with the white smiling mask, as if observing his reaction.

"It's not bad, so, are there any stories about the Great Rift?"

Xin Lailai spoke calmly, took a sip of tea, and felt the tea flow into his lips along the slits of the mask. He did not look at Zhizi Yingyin, but stared at the tea leaves swirling in the teacup.

"Unfortunately, no more. Until now, probably no one in this world can explain how the Great Rift appeared in this world."

"Really? So, what do Mr. Zhizi Yingyin think about the eleven new zodiac signs?"

"Of course I can't really talk about my opinion. I just have a little suggestion."

"What is it?"

"Before arriving at Leviathan, I sincerely hope that you will try not to fight against them. After all, if all of you from outside the world die unfortunately, I, as a guide, will be very sad."

Zhizi Yingyin took out a white handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a sincere tone. "Really? Then thank you Mr. Zhizi Yingyin for the reminder."

"You're welcome. Just treat it as a reward for Mr. Performer inviting me to drink tea. After all, this is my first time tasting tea from outside the world."

"Then, please forgive me for taking my leave first. I wish you all a pleasant journey."

As Zhizi Yingyin spoke, he gently held the edge of the top hat with his right hand, tiptoed a little, floated backwards, and then suddenly disappeared in place.

This... is this gone?
After Quan Momo finished reading the story, Zhizi Yingyin, who left immediately, blinked.

She thought that the other party would definitely have a fight with Xin Lailai in the end. It turned out that it was just a plot introduction, wasn't it a pre-war CG?
In the sky, the heavy rain stopped without knowing when, and the faint smell of earth was mixed with the humid air. The ruins in front of them did not become brand new because of the washing of the rain, but became more dilapidated than before.

"That... Mr. Performer, is what he just said really true?"

Quan Momo looked at Xin Lailai who had put all the coffee tables and cups into the storage space, and asked curiously.

"Although it's just a story, what he told is everything that really happened."

Xin Lailai glanced at Quan Momo and explained.

Is it all true?
"That guy is quite honest. I thought he must be the kind of hidden boss who lies all the time?"

"Although it is true, what he told is not the whole story."

Quan Momo murmured in a low voice, but Xin Lailai's words continued to come, making the little miner slightly stunned.

"He skipped some crucial information, so even if what he told was true, it would have been nice to just listen to it as a story."

After saying that, Xin Lailai walked to the edge of the big pit that he had made before, and looked at the wreckage that was submerged in the turbid rain. After being silent for a while, he raised his hand, and a faint khaki light bloomed.

Rocks create magic and earthquakes.

Although his current magic attribute is wind attribute, just like he can use some simple wind attribute magic with rock attribute magic, with up to 40 points of elemental affinity, it is no longer impossible to release magic across attributes. .

Hum rumble——!
There was a slight tremor on the ground, and the earth and rocks in front of me surged and slowly flowed into the pit, filling the bottom of the pit bit by bit to form a medium-sized bag of earth.

The opponent's body was too badly damaged, and with the log left by Karen, it was better to just let the opponent be buried here instead of wasting his soul load on transforming a zombie that was of little practical use.

During the previous battle, Xin Lailai also discovered that the summoned objects of undead magic not only need to have sufficient soul strength, but also have great requirements on soul load.

If he were just an ordinary undead mage, it would naturally have no effect, and the load would be full. However, with the skill of Elf Assimilation, which requires extremely high soul load, he must be very careful in choosing the target of his transformation.

Otherwise, if the assimilation time between him and Ling Yuzi's elves is greatly shortened because of summoning too many zombie bosses, then it will really be more of a loss than a gain.

"Woooooooooooooo!"

The zombie's long cry sounded from the right, and the huge zombie manta fish was slowly swimming towards the three of them from the sky under the control of Ling Yuzi.

In the previous battle, the zombie's right update was completely useless. This was not because Xin Lailai didn't want to use it, but the speed of the zombie's right update was still too slow compared to him and the experimental girl, and they couldn't participate at all. .

"Come... Mr. Performer, are we going to find that place called Leviathan?"

Quan Momo looked at the zombie worms and zombies parked in front of him, put on a gas mask, and asked in a buzzing voice.

"If nothing else, it should be."

After burying the experimental subject, Xin Lailai didn't stop too much. He directly asked Ling Yuzi to take Quan Momo with him. He jumped lightly to the small cabin behind the zombie worm, and then took out the crystal ball-shaped star pointer. Activate it.

The bright starlight began to gather in the crystal ball and turned into an arrow. After spinning for a few times, it stopped.

——This time, the starlight pointer no longer points to the completely collapsed tower behind them, but to the wilderness in the distance.

Moreover, under the observation of the psychic field, the arrow of the star pointer is moving at an almost negligible amplitude.

According to the information obtained from the Tower of Babel and Zizi Yingyin's description, in order to avoid the eleven new zodiac signs that patrol the entire world, the last fortress of mankind, the sea fortress Leviathan, has always been in a state of movement.

Combining this information, it can almost be concluded that the Star Pointer's destination this time is the maritime fortress, Leviathan, where the last survivors of this world are gathered, and where the protagonist in the original work, Satomi Rentaro, serves as the governor.

"So... So, are we going to fly there directly this time?"

"Almost, but before that, there are two things to do."

Xin Lailai said calmly and glanced at an item in the storage space:
[Multifunctional Industrial Alchemy Machinery Type II]

This alchemy machine cost him 200 million paradise points to buy. Because he didn't understand the general situation of the world before, he never had time to make full use of the value of this machine.

Now that the general route is clear and time is not as tight as before, the priority now has naturally changed from urgent exploration to taking advantage of the right update and the alchemy machinery to clean up the potions and treasure chests.

Although taking potions is shameful, it is more useful. With enough potion support, he can rely on his mobility advantage and use the potion's recovery to infinitely consume the opponent with spells and magic.

A master who can only release one large spell and a master who can release large spells repeatedly are not at the same level in terms of threat.

As for the second thing, it's relatively simple.

boom!
There was a soft sound, and two treasure boxes with dark golden light appeared in front of the three people.

"Legendary treasure chest!"

"I...I'm not...dreaming...right?!"

Quan Momo looked at the two treasure boxes in front of him, his eyes widened suddenly, and he was so excited that he couldn't even finish his words.

This was her first time to observe the unboxing process of a legendary treasure chest at such a close distance!
"Then...well, should I make some preparations or something? Wouldn't it be better to have a sense of ceremony?!"

"No need, just two legendary treasure chests from the second to last level."

Xin Lailai said in an indifferent tone, but his eyes inevitably showed a touch of heat. He stretched out his hand and pressed on the treasure box, and opened the two treasure boxes in sequence.

Dazzling dark golden light bloomed from the eyes of the three people.

[Treasure chest opened·Legendary level (5%)]

[Treasure chest opened·Legendary level (10%)]

……

　PS: I haven’t thought about the contents of the treasure box yet…
