Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 97 The Scale of the Time Insect (Second Update)

It was a disembodied voice.

When consciousness gradually returned, that was the first voice heard by Otto who was in a hazy state, only three short words.

【I love you】

For a moment, as the vision in front of him gradually brightened, the voice began to become clearer.

[I have been deeply attracted to your civilization since its first birth. 】

[I have witnessed your past, present and future with my own eyes. 】

[No, they are not the only ones I love. 】

【And the one in front of the screen. 】

In a daze, through the light curtain that blocked his vision, Otto seemed to see a huge figure imprisoned in the blue crystal palace. At the same time, he only heard the voice continue to speak.

【Come to me, I need your help.】

  After an unknown amount of time, as the voice completely disappeared from his mind, Otto finally opened his eyes again.

As the vision in front of him gradually became clearer, he saw the girl named Gray Feng sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him eagerly.

In order to reassure the other person, Otto stretched out a hand and grasped the other person's small hand that was lying beside the bed. The skin made of nanomachines was delicate and slightly cool, and it felt like holding a piece of soft material. Jade.

Realizing that the other party had woken up, Hui Feng impatiently moved his body over the next second and asked in surprise.

"Master, are you okay?"

Otto did not answer this question in time, but sat up from the bed with the help of Gray Feng. At this time, he only felt that his body was so strange, and the connection between soul and body seemed to be Become extremely unstable.

After trying to raise his hands and making a few movements to ensure that his body was basically fine, he recalled the scenes he had seen in the illusion before, and first asked Gray Feng on the side what happened just now.

"The moment you came into contact with that white light, you quickly lost consciousness."

After hearing this answer, Otto immediately confirmed further.

"Did I say anything during this period?"

He still remembered that he seemed to have had a brief communication with a certain existence in the illusion.

Faced with Otto's inquiry, Gray Feng hesitated for a moment.

"During this period, you did mention the name of the Worm of Time several times, but I was not able to hear the more specific content."

The worm of time.
  Could it be that those illusions are all real?
  Just when Otto was still trying to recall the scenes he had seen in his dream, the panel in front of him suddenly reacted.

As a large number of reminders continued to pop up, it was seen that most of the equipment and accessories on the ship, including the destroyer's hull, had been unlocked at this moment.

It has to be said that the results of this trip were quite fruitful.

This should have been a happy thing, but at this time, Otto was still not able to wake up completely from the previous illusion, and soon he set his sights on Gray Feng again.

"I just learned the news that the Worm of Time also followed us here. The white light surrounding the equipment is his power."

Gray Feng was obviously a little surprised by this news.

As a hot topic within the Ashes Alliance, it was not like she had not learned about the Worm of Time.

It is said that it is a mysterious existence from a higher latitude. It has the powerful ability to control the laws of time. To a certain extent, it is an existence that can be ranked as a god alongside the "player" who is the will of the stars. Immediately afterwards, recalling the content that was gradually becoming blurry, Otto was telling Gray Wind everything he had heard as quickly as possible, trying to retain as much information as possible.

"I had a brief conversation with Him. Because some beings in the current universe reject and exclude outsiders like us, the Ashes Alliance that was supposed to arrive intact was torn to pieces because of this. Most of them Some members are blocked from this universe."

"This is also the reason why you cannot create certain devices based only on the contents of the database, because before we have officially recovered them, their concepts are not accepted by this universe. Those existences in subspace will Try your best to stop us.”

Soon, after thinking for a moment, Gray Feng asked slightly confusedly.

"Where was the worm then? Where is he now?"

To this, Otto replied like this.

"Something imprisons Him and limits most of His power."

Having said this, Otto let go of Gray Feng's little hand and continued to speak while standing up.

"But even so, He can still help us in other ways, such as helping us recycle those scattered star creations and recycle the concepts in them."

"The Worm of Time locks the entropy in the space around those devices, allowing them to be frozen in place and unable to be touched by others."

As Otto's words fell, Gray Wind, who had been completely attracted by these contents, immediately asked a new question.

"Then if we rescue him, will the other people in the Ashes Alliance who are trapped outside the dimension be able to reach this universe smoothly?"

"Maybe that's true but right now we can't do that."

"why?"

"Because the place where he is imprisoned is called the Crystal Maze. It is the territory of a certain supreme god."

This conversation did not last long, but the content made both Gray Wind and Otto feel overwhelmed.

"Right? How's the situation over there with Val?"

Soon, just when Otto was about to temporarily concentrate on dealing with the things in front of him, the moment he stood up from the bed, he heard a crisp sound suddenly coming from the ground the next second.

Under Gray Wind's gaze, something seemed to fall from Otto's body and rolled several times on the metal floor.

"what is this?"

He saw that it was a strange object that reflected colorful light. Otto did not remember that he had ever carried such an object on his body. When he bent down and picked it up in the palm of his hand, he looked closer and it seemed to be some kind of object. The scales of a creature?

The scales with strange texture showed a translucent shape, as if they did not exist completely in reality. There was a certain residual temperature on the surface, and a strange buzzing sound seemed to be vaguely heard.

At this moment, after carefully observing the appearance of the scanned object, Hui Feng suddenly heard her muttering somewhat uncertainly.

"Is that the Scale of the Time Insect?"

And not long after the words fell.

[The legacy effect is currently enabled: the points required to unlock all technologies are reduced. 】

It seems that Gray Wind is right.

Watch the latest content pop up in the panel.

If nothing else, this should be a gift from the Worm of Time.
  A precious meeting gift.
