Chapter 363 - Rule (II) (2/2)
In the darkness of the world, light suddenly appeared. Zero saw the leaping earthfire. They were burning magma. Magma flowed, thousands of miles away in the center of the earth, in a special kind of structure, as if it were some kind of energy loop. In the middle of the energy circuit was a black coloured beast. It exuded a pitch-black aura, and its six black wings drooped powerlessly. As if it had sensed the existence of zero, it raised its head towards it and let out a soundless roar.
“Prometheus, this is its main body. I imprisoned it in the earth’s core and used special energy lines to form a prison. It will be trapped for tens of thousands of years. ” Agladis said blandly. Even though her tone was calm, it was enough to let Ling Ming understand that in order to trap this Star Beast that could rule the universe, Earth had paid a heavy price of a civilization ending.
Agladis said helplessly: “I had thought that I could still trap Prometheus for more time. This way, perhaps through communicating with other wills, I would find a way to completely eliminate it. It will also give you more time to grow. Zero, you who are now living and reproducing on Earth are the organisms that I created using the cells left behind in the Atlantis. I only used the most basic of cell fragments, and took the inheritance of the Atlantis. Even with the technology of the Atlantis, you guys are unable to deal with Prometheus. My original intention was to let you guys develop freely and see if you can develop different civilizations. But in the end, you are following the same path as the Atlantis, and the level of technology is even higher than theirs by several levels. ”
“Your usage of energy can only be described as crude, but even so, I do not wish to interfere. I still have hope, but that meteor shower that changed the entire planet also changed my decision. ” Agladis’s tone carried a hint of regret as he said: “The arrival of the great calamity, the impact of the meteor shower, had caused a change in the planet’s physical environment. Although Prometheus was still in the cell, he was missing a corner of the cell. This allowed it to spread a fragment of its cells through the hole, and caused a crazy change to animals and plants. By the time I found out, it was already too late. ”
Su Ming’s eyes widened as she cried out involuntarily: “Are you saying that all the metamorph were affected by Prometheus?”
“That’s right. Otherwise, why would the gentlest animal become a berserk beast after it mutated?” It was the memory imprint he inherited from Prometheus. In Prometheus’s life, destruction was the only theme. Other than this, nothing else is allowed! ”
Agladis continued to speak: “Prometheus’s objective is very simple. It is to create intelligent life’s bodies other than humans, so that it can resist the people I create. Then, it will establish a power that can save it from its prison. See that King of living corpse outside? They are called True King. There are six monsters like them other than Lilith. ”
“In order to stop Prometheus, I had no choice but to intervene. “Why would a capable person appear?” Agladis pointed at herself and said, “I was the one who untied the shackles on your bodies. Otherwise, you all would not have been able to fight against Prometheus’s great army of monsters.”
The appearance of those who were capable had always been a mystery to the academic world. It was as if they had suddenly appeared in a night’s time. Although the first few capable people only touched upon the basics, it was precisely because of their appearance that there were now so many high rank powerhouse s. However, no one knew where the ability came from. Although scholars had obtained the genetic specimens of the first generation espers, they found that the gene fragments that belonged to them didn’t have any inheritance at all. It was as if they had suddenly appeared, like a gift from heaven.
And now, from Agladis’s words, Zero finally knew the truth.
At the end of the day, the competition between the ability users and metamorph, or even the foreign races with intelligence, was the competition between Agladis and her. As for who the final victor was, that was still an unknown.
“But then again, although the Atlantis was destroyed, they still left behind a very rich heritage. One of them is the existence you humans call god. ” Agladis said: “In the later stages of the war, in order to deal with Prometheus, the scholars in the Atlantis decided to invent a perfect weapon, that is, a god. After leaving behind countless failures, the god who was infinitely close to completion didn’t even have time to start before the war ended. The destruction of civilization, the fall of the floating islands and the City of the Sun, buried the gods in the abyss. Until you found out that the current you are not as good at science and technology as the Atlantis, but are good at exploration and discovery. You may not be able to fully activate God, but you have found a way to split it up and plant it in humans, allowing it to inherit some of its abilities. That’s you, the origin of the thirteen artificial gods’ plans. ”
“Zero, your Right Eye of God is one of the most valuable things in this inheritance. The creators of the most advanced technology in Atlantis possess the ability that would even shock me. It’s just that you are still unable to unlock the shackles of your ability. Now, I will unlock all of your shackles and let you understand the power that will be generated after the combination of the God’s right eye and my power. ” Agladis paused for a while, before continuing: “But before that, you must remember the third thing. The origin of the universe was energy, and the highest level of manifestation of energy … It’s the rules! ”
