Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kant had a dream.

A horrible, horrible nightmare.

He dreamed that one day in the future, he would finally disperse the white fog surrounding the community. When he returned home with excitement and joy, he found despair after despair.

The outside world is also empty.

There is only one human left in the entire earth.

His body twitched suddenly, and he opened his eyes in fear.

His body was soaked in cold sweat.

There are icy stones under him, and what he can see is the top of the cave emitting light, a completely unfamiliar landscape, and he does not know where he is.

Kant immediately rolled to the side, squatted up, and drew a short knife from his waist.

There is no one around.

The huge underground space, the radiant stone walls and the ground, he looked at these glowing words and murals, but he couldn't understand them, but it made him feel a touch of kindness and... sadness.

"where is this place…"

He shouted: "A gorilla! Old Dai! Pigeon!"

No one responded to him.

He shook his head and remembered what had happened before. Tina was captured by the animals. He went to contact people in another world. The natives ambush him, yelled at him, used knives and guns, and almost killed him. He, so it started fighting, and then Tina was shining and she did something...

So he understood the language of another world.

And some changes have taken place in the body...

He looked at the knife in his hand subconsciously, and was suddenly startled.

After calming down, he noticed a difference in the world.

The knife seems to be... different.

No, it's not that the knife has become different, it seems to be himself...

This knife was found in the prohibited items storage room of the police station. It is a controlled knife, sharp, with a blood groove, forged with modern steel, extremely sharp and extremely lethal.

He looked at Ling Lie's blade, and his thoughts spread out involuntarily. He felt that his thoughts were expanding like vines, like a snare, covering the sharp blade. He felt that he "recognized" this sharp blade. As usual, he spit out words that he felt unfamiliar.

"Elements...extraction..."

The hard and sharp blade turned into a star.

Under Kant's astonished gaze, the blade of the knife continued to disintegrate out of thin air until it disappeared without a trace, as if it had completely disappeared from this world.

Instead, there are clumps of light of various colors.

Some are big or small, some are clear and some are blurry. These floating light clusters stay where the blade is. They are entangled with each other and interact with each other, but they also exist independently.

Looking at these light clusters, an unfamiliar foreign word flashed in Kant's mind.

He murmured: "Elements..."

He slowly stretched out his hand to the collection of light clusters that were constantly circling. He reached out to the brightest and most conspicuous one, which was the largest and the slowest one.

touch.

The white light group touched Kant's fingertips, and then drilled into his body. Kant instantly felt a sharp sting, and lost the check and balance of this light group, and those entangled light spheres also It quickly dissipated and drifted between heaven and earth.

Kant looked at his left hand.

He could feel that the light group absorbed by him was floating in the flesh and blood in the palm of his hand.

This "element"...

He said to himself: "Feng Rui..."

As if inspired by God, he raised the hilt of his right hand.

- Only the steel blade disappeared.

He pressed the tip of the index finger of his left hand on the handle of the knife, wiped it, and the absorbed light mass flowed out.

A metallic coldness was attached to the cloth-wrapped handle.

Kant was thoughtful, he took the handle of the knife and made a light stroke in the palm of his left hand.

A slight tingling sensation, just a slight cut, the skin of the palm of the hand was scratched.

His strong body, reinforced by the black beast crystal, was easily cut by the cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife and used to absorb sweat.

Kant grabbed the hilt of the knife and cut a cut on the tactical vest.

Broken thread ends and clear cuts can be easily seen.

He pulled out the fire axe.

Axe blade to handle.

There was a harsh clang of metal rubbing against each other.

He saw a small gap in the sturdy fire axe blade. Immediately, the handle shattered, as if it had been smashed by a sledgehammer. It had reached the limit of its carrying capacity.

Kant was sluggish for a moment, threw the axe aside, and took a nail from his pocket.

Nails for a nail gun.

Concentrate the mind, cast the snare, attach to it, and extract the elements.

The steel nails disintegrated, and the number of smaller light clusters was reduced when the blade was disassembled.

And several of the light clusters are very familiar and very similar.

He held his breath and selected one of the groups.

"pierce…"

After thinking about it, he took the fire axe, and with his fingernails hard, a small wooden thorn was deducted from the handle of the axe.

The fingers are wiped, and the elements are attached.

He pinched the wooden thorn, squatted down, and stabbed to the ground.

With a bang, the thorn shattered, but Kant saw that the pointed end of the thorn had broken into the solid stone and pierced into the ground.

He murmured: "It works, but the hardness is not enough..."

hardness.

The second nail, element extraction.

A ball of light similar to a steel knife.

element, steel.

The third nail is extracted again.

Elements, pierced.

The two groups of elements, in turn, are attached to another thorn.

Kant tried again, and this time, the brittle wooden thorns were embedded in the ground like nails.

Then disintegrate.

"The material of the material..." Kant said to himself, "Ordinary wood, small in size, is difficult to carry two element reinforcements..."

He didn't realize it himself, there was an inexplicable seriousness... and joy in his tone.

It's a feeling of having power.

He didn't stop trying.

Ripped a piece of fabric from the body, uncorked the Molotov cocktail, and poured out a little liquid.

ignite.

The flames leaped, illuminating his face.

"Things can be disintegrated, and the fire of nothingness..."

Spiritual extension.

A throbbing in my heart.

He gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the soaring flames.

It worked.

The spiritual beam shrouded this group of firelight, the fiery flame gradually extinguished, the elements were flying, and there were many, but just like the solar system, the small elements were just revolving planets, and the central star had the greatest light and heat, the most Conspicuous and clear.

element, flame...

Crimson light poured into Kant's body.

He took out the fourth nail.

When the elements are attached, the steel nails change color, as if there is a red light flowing in them.

Only half of it was used this time... He carefully felt the upper limit of the steel nails.

After all, this nail is just the most common mass-produced product under the modern industrial system, and the material is inferior.

If only there were better steels and better production processes...

He loaded the nail into the nail gun and fired.

The red blazing light flew out, like a small line of fire, shooting into the distance.

Kant took out the Swiss Army knife on his body again, and the other half of the flame element flowed into the folding knife, cut the flashlight, and with a single stroke, the plastic casing melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He froze for a while.

"What is this?" he muttered to himself, even laughing, "enchanted?"

Just like the enchanting skills in western games and western fantasy novels, it attaches the power of magic to ordinary objects to make them have more powerful performance and more magical functions.

Is that so?

He instinctively felt that it was not so simple.

After waking up, he found that everything in his eyes seemed to be different.

Become simpler, become clearer, become more… fragile.

He took out his cell phone.

If this thing is extracted, what elements will it have?

The spirit emanates a net, covering this modern scientific and technological product of human beings.

"…Uh."

Then he was a little dizzy. Kant felt that his spiritual power was wrapping the casing of the mobile phone. When he went deep in, he came into contact with a large number of electronic components and exotic materials, not only that, those were only related to matter, and even more something more illusory.

He has a hunch that even if this mysterious power is forcibly activated, the mobile phone will only disintegrate into an extremely complex mixture of elements, even thousands of them, which cannot be absorbed and recognized at all.

Too many elements.

Later... maybe?

But how?

as well as…

Objects and even flames can be extracted, so...what about living things?

- What will be extracted?

Thinking divergence and this, Kant suddenly shuddered.

This "extraction" is not a gentle method. The extraction of an element is based on the disintegration of the extract... That is to say, if it is a human...

and many more.

disintegrate.

Disintegrating and invisible.

Kant stood up suddenly, and his body shuddered suddenly.

outside the cave.

The sky has dimmed, and the animals are still guarding here.

The knight advised: "Your Highness, otherwise, please go back to the camp to rest first."

Tina shook her head stubbornly: "Please forgive me for being stubborn, we are camping here, and I want to make sure that Mr. Kant can see him as soon as he comes out to show our sincerity."

The knight frowned: "But..."

He swallowed the words that came to his lips, because of the princess' eyes.

"...as you wish."

He looked at the entrance of the cave: "That Aurora... how long will the ceremony last?"

"It depends on each person's aptitude and the nature of inheritance."

The princess replied: "The awakening ceremony will theoretically last for three days, but in practice it will not be so long. Every ancient hero's inheritance of power is an understanding of the laws of the world. After accepting the inheritance, the enlightened will fall asleep until The laws of this world are recognized, and then he wakes up... Usually, when he wakes up, the inheritance is over."

The knight grasped a word keenly.

His Highness always speaks very carefully.

"usually?"

"Yeah, usually."

Tina nodded and said: "There are still special circumstances. Generally speaking, when the enlightened person wakes up, it means that the power of the corresponding law in this world has recognized him. This procedure has been completed, and there is no benefit in staying any longer, but The inheritance ceremony will still last for three days, which means…”

Seeing the confused look in the knight's eyes, she shook her head and smiled: "Let me give an example."

"The human hero of Terra's era, the abyss walker Stella, after he accepted the heroic inheritance and was recognized by the killing law of this plane, he immediately opened the abyss portal, rushed into the demon world, and continued his heroic inheritance in the endless slaughter. "

"Because the inheritance ceremony lasts for three days, the enlightened person can resonate with the power of the world during this period, so Stella has also been recognized by the killing law of the abyss plane, that is to say, he has two sets of killing law power, two The confluence of supreme powers has produced a terrifying mutation..."

She said, "So, do you understand?"

"understood."

The knight nodded.

But this is meaningless.

In a strange way, he suddenly said: "This kind of example has nothing to do with that Aurora."

"I said before, how can there be a hero altar in this forbidden land sealed by the gods?"

"Even if there is, it is the gods who pity Goethe. It is this Aurora who hit the big luck. Moreover, in this desolate and sealed dead place, even if there is a hero altar, it will not be a very powerful ancient hero. Let alone. What another world, how can the gate of another world be so easy to see."

The knight spoke like a barrage of cannons.

"Furthermore, that Aurora looked ordinary, how could he wake up so quickly? Most of the time he would sleep for three days, barely accepting the inheritance, even if he took ten thousand steps back, he really woke up, really There is an alien plane portal, which is mostly a weak plane, how can it be compared with the abyss plane that kills everywhere and is eternally crazy? Even if it can really be recognized by the second set of laws, it will not be too strong. "

The princess looked at the chattering knight in surprise, and then suddenly she laughed.

"Knight, why do you say such a thing?" she said with a smile, "could it be that you actually hope..."

Cleveland turned his head and gritted his teeth: "Hmph, those ridiculous rumors about me... are absolutely unbelievable!"

PS1: Hmph, I didn’t guess all of them, they all said they were golden fingers, how could it be so simple. (disdain)

PS2: So the infinite possibilities and room for improvement represented by this golden finger, and what does it have to do with the title of "fire thief", can you guess right now? (laugh)
