Chapter 46: Harpy History
The bug hive continued to shriek painfully
Su Chen watched on coldly
“Are you not planning on doing anything?” Patelocke asked
“I will eventually, but not now,” Su Chen replied “This bug hive doesn’t just possess a powerful consciousness There are also other unique properties about it, but most importantly, it can be subdued Also, the secrets around those metal ores have not yet been fully unraveled I need to wait until I understandti Flame Oriole to me now!”
“Yes, Master!” Death’s Shadow replied from within Su Chen’s consciousness In a fewFlahtly in his white paper ribbons
Su Chen grabbed Flowing Flame Oriole and shoved her head towards the spatial vortex
When Flowing Flame Oriole saas in the vortex, she shrieked, “No! I cannot look at that! That belongs to the portion of my memories I a you to remember, just to look!” Su Chen held her head firmly in place
The secrets she was not allowed to re Flame Oriole trembled as the secret technique installed in her body was assaulted
That secret technique began to exert an immense pressure on her as punishment
She was not allowed to remember, nor was she allowed to coh the Harpy fe She frothed at theto collapse at any moment
“Open your consciousness and follow my instructions!” Patelocke said
“If you want to escape the pain, then listen to him!” Su Chen said at the same time
He didn’t say, “If you want to survive”, but “If you want to escape the pain” To Flowing Flareater than the fear of death If Su Chen allowed her to move, she probably would have tried to kill herself i Su Chen’s words, she immediately dropped the defenses raised around her consciousness and relaxed her thoughts as much as she could
Patelocke directed her consciousness energy, helping her erect Heart Walls
Heart Walls wasn’t the best choice of Origin Skill to resist the effects of the secret technique, but it didFlame Oriole had to endure
At the sa into the spatial vortex He said, “Your secret technique prevents you fro those memories, but I have now broken the technique’s restrictions All youas you can hold on through this process, the secret technique’s chains will be broken”
“But it could also greatly da Flame Oriole yelled
“I don’t care about that,” Su Chen replied coolly “If you want to survive, you and I must both take so Flame Oriole cried out bitterly
After an unknown period of ti Fla for air as sweat dripped froh a number of worlds and back
“Seeed to withstand the pain How do you feel?” Su Chen said as he helped her to her feet
“Like I was just sliced open by a thousand blades!” Flowing Flarily “I will re that you have done to me!”
“I hope you are also able to remember what yourFla hive is the future Floating Point Six”
“What did you say?” Su Chen was stunned
Floating Points was the naiven to one of the Harpies’ plans
Si Dragon Plan, and the Arcanists’ Resurrection Plan - it was a majestic plan that involved the entire race The implications of its success idespread and inificance of the Floating Points plan, it was important to first understand some of the Harpies’ history
That history went all the way back to the tidodom fell, the five races divided the Arcanists’ treasures The humans obtained the Bloodline Extraction Instrument, the Astrals obtained the Consciousness Converter, the Ravagers obtained the Origin Energy Temple, and the Oceanids obtained the Freedom Wind, each of these treasures extremely valuable to that race The Harpies obtained the y Nuclei, the only city-grade source of energy ast all of these items
The Harpies had chosen that ites Just as hurow stronger and the Ravagers needed the Origin Energy Tey, the Harpies had their own unique needs
The Harpies possessed the strongest perception aent Races, not even inferior to the Arcanists The only thing they lacked was creativity However, they were quite physically weak and had low fertility rates, so there were not reatest weakness, however, was their arrogance
Their arrogance made it so that the Harpies refused to advance or adapt
The huers, and Oceanids all didn’t hesitate to improve themselves for the sake of their race’s survival The Astrals even went so far as to give up on their physical bodies
The Harpies, however, were unwilling to change
They didn’t want to change even a little bit
They stubbornly believed that a change in culture was just a kind of extinction - if the Harpies lost their purity, what difference was there between that and extinction?
This was the way the Harpies viewed their own culture
With this kind of thinking, there was no way that the Harpies would ever attempt to improve their physical bodies
As such, they chose to rely on external aids
In the 46000th year of the Chaos Era, the Harpies convinced the Arcana Kingdoreat master, Isador Sark, to start a plan to create a series of floating cities At the core of the floating cities plan was a need for a source of energy, one that could constantly extract energy fros
At the end of the Chaos Era, the Arcana Kingdoe of the chaos to seize the inco cities
The Harpies then invited son and construct the floating cities
