Chapter 1105 - Secret of the Black Slate (2/2)
Ssss———!
Not only Manny, but the two soldiers also came to a halt immediately. They intended to rescue Professor Manny from the young lady because no matter what, Manny was a high-ranking supervisor and target of protection. But after witnessing the powerful punch from Mini Bubble Gum, they froze to the spot… not even their nanosuit could tolerate a punch like that!
“Speak the truth! Don’t come up with any tricks! You can forget about anyone rescuing you because the control system of this base is in Big Sister Erin’s grasp already!”
“I-I will speak!”
Researchers were not dauntless people. If the three young ladies were ferocious-looking monsters, perhaps Manny might struggle to survive. But the three young ladies were beautiful and had rescued them from monsters. Even though they seemed fiercer now, at least they could be communicated with, unlike the monsters from before! Thereafter, Manny ‘came clean’ to them about the ‘ins and outs’ of the black slate.
That was a really, really long story.
It all began half a century ago. Back then, during an archaeological excavation in the Americas Region, archaeologists uncovered a mysterious, ancient architecture. Even though the ancient architecture seemed like a product of civilization from a long time ago, it recorded extremely advanced civilization and knowledge. After research by archaeologists, they unanimously came to the conclusion that it was a product of extraterrestrial civilization and that made them ecstatic. Not only that, but also in the records of the ruins, they discovered an important detail. The buildings in the extraterrestrial civilization building hid some very important things on the moon. If they were able to find them, it would be crucial for the development of human civilization and technological progress!
But it was due to this that the information was treated as a top secret and concealed by the government. In fact, Manny’s father was the main person in charge of the plan. Back then, when regions were divided on the moon, the reason why the North American government had chosen this region was for the convenience of mining the products of alien civilization. Of course, on the surface, their reason was to understand the mystery of human civilization. As for the true reason… they hoped to uncover some secret and illegal technologies to regain their position as the boss of the world… and this was, in fact, an open secret.
Thereafter, according to the information recorded on the ruins, researchers of the Americas Region successfully excavated black slates that contained strange powers in those places. That made them full of confidence as they began to research. Of course, as mentioned earlier, it wasn’t easy to decipher the black slates. Up until now, they knew nothing apart from the fact that there was resonance between the black slates and it would send faint signals into deep space.
“It seems more like the story development of Alien and StarCraft. I don’t like it… I pretty much prefer Raiders of the Lost Ark and Tomb Raider…”
After hearing Manny’s narration, Mini Bubble Gum was apparently dissatisfied. She crossed her arms and soliloquized. After hearing her grumbles, Manny and the two soldiers didn’t say a word. As of now, they had left the lab and entered the drawing room. Manny initially decided to drag time for the guards to arrive and detain the three young ladies. However, there was no sign of them or any siren even after he finished narrating the story. It seemed like it was just as the young lady said. The entire system of the base had fallen into the hands of that young lady named Erin.
But now, Canary knitted her brows. After pondering for a while, she turned to Erin who was casually sipping the red tea.
“Your Highness Erin, you said the black slates contained the power of Chaos and Order, right? But why do they keep summoning only Chaos Beasts?”
“Hmm? Come to think of it, you’re right…”
Upon hearing Canary’s words, Mini Bubble Gum was taken aback. When they touched the two black slates earlier, they erupted a strange energy and summoned a bunch of Chaos Beasts. Maybe ordinary people might not know where the Chaos Beasts came from, but Mini Bubble Gum clearly knew that they were monsters of the Chaos world that lived within Chaos. Even in the game, Chaos Beasts would only show up in the Order world after being summoned by people. They weren’t in the Dragon Soul Continent now. Erin also told them that the rate of recovery for her strength was somewhat slow. Of course, she was the representative of the ‘moon’ rule, fortunately, and would replenish her strength to a certain degree as long as the moon was there. Besides, unlike the Creator Dragons who abandoned their power and transmigrated in their souls, Erin transmigrated in her true self. There were no Creator Gods like the five Creator Dragons in this world, so even if rules existed, they couldn’t possibly be grasped by anyone. Perhaps after Erin stayed here for several more years, she would become the ‘moon goddess’ in name and reality.
But Erin also mentioned that even though there was the presence of Chaos here, the presence of Order and Chaos wasn’t too obvious. This was also why Erin kept believing that this place was the nest of Chaos Beings after she transmigrated. In the Dragon Soul Continent, Order and Chaos were like water and fire; completely separated. Order was Order and Chaos was Chaos. In here, Order and Chaos had no distinct, opposing standpoint. It was no wonder Erin made such a judgment.
Even though Erin wasn’t aware of it, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary knew that nothing as strange as Chaos Beasts existed in this world. So then, where did they come from? Summoned from the black slates? Did it mean that… the black slates could open channels of Chaos?
