Chapter 1116: Land of Steel

"Zero Point, there is only one world that is most suitable for you to train, and that is the Type-Moon world called 'TYPE-MOON'."

Under Zero Point's calm gaze, Chu Xuan did not even use the Conferred God List, and said without hesitation: "Whether it is the 'Twisted Demon Eye' and 'Clairvoyance' you exchanged in this reincarnation, or the 'Death Eye' you exchanged in the last reincarnation, they all come from this world. In the two lives, the cause and effect line on you has long been entangled with this world."

"So, if you want to further tap your potential, in addition to going deeper in the path of cultivation, you should go to the world to pursue your own 'roots'..."

"——That is, the power from the deepest part of your heart, the light of the soul."

...

Slowly waking up from the not-so-distant memories, Zero Point still tightly grasped the sniper rifle that he had never let go even in his sleep. He spit out the sand in his mouth and slowly opened his eyes.

——There is a certain smell in the air.

It is the smell of blood, and it is also the smell that Zero Point is most familiar with, the smell of "battlefield".

"Awake?" A young man who seemed young but could not help but feel tired came from the side: "Come and change shifts if you wake up... I want to sleep for a while."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Responding to the words of his comrades, Lingdian greeted them in a calm tone as always: "How many angels attacked last night?"

"About a dozen waves, never let me calm down for a moment..."

Like Lingdian, the man who was holding a black sniper rifle without any other colors in his hand yawned loudly, and his face was full of sleepiness: "I don't know what happened. It may be because "Judgment" was defeated... These guys knew that this kind of attack would not work, but they would attack like moths to a flame."

As he said, the man pointed behind him, and saw leaves falling to the forest floor and countless angels' bodies piled up layer by layer.

Although it is not a mythical existence, it is also a female body with bird wings on its back and a human-shaped body. Because the body is also shaped very beautifully, this creature is called an angel.

Behind the forest, there is a colorless land without a trace of color. Even the sea in the distance has no color, but it is not pure white, but the color of steel, like a machine.

Although it is indeed the "Type-Moon World", the world where Zero Point is located is by no means a world suitable for human survival. It is a world that has mysteriously retreated due to an accident, the great source has dried up, and even the planet itself has fallen into death.

Everything originated from an astronomical disaster a hundred years ago. A huge meteorite fragment from an unknown wandering star pierced the core of the earth at an unimaginable speed and took the life of the planet. Resulting in the current apocalyptic scene - the barren land with no grass is cracked due to the long drought, and deep cracks are like scars all over the earth.

The once turbulent ocean has long dried up, revealing the barren seabed. The sky was covered by dark gray clouds, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness, without a single ray of light. The clouds were filled with poisonous particles from the dead star cores, or cosmic dust SIN, which could be called "true ether", slowly spreading outward, as if the breath of death permeated every inch of air, corroding all life on the planet.

——The end of the world, the land of steel.

——Although the death of the planet was not caused by humans themselves, different paths still led to the same ending.

In this extremely harsh environment, all species are on the verge of extinction in the ruthless pollution. However, life will always find a way out, and there are still a few humans who have adapted to the world today.

Some survivors completely accepted the erosion of cosmic dust, allowing these true ether particles to crystallize in their bodies, forming new bones, and then constructing unique energy organs and circuits. The most powerful among them are called "Knights", who can even condense cosmic dust into "magic swords" with powerful superpowers.

Others are mostly descendants of ancient magician families. In the old days, they were called "bacteria keepers", and now they are called "descendants of God". These people have an ancient fungal infection in their bodies, and therefore carry genetic factors passed down from the Age of Gods. Unexpectedly, the cosmic dust not only did not make these fungi wither, but made them reproduce wildly. The host that has achieved symbiosis with the fungi can use its own blood as a medium to reproduce the power of the gods of the Age of Gods at will.

Others are the alchemists of the Atlas Academy. Rather than calling them "magicians", it is more appropriate to call them "scientists". Long before the doomsday catastrophe came, they observed the arrival of this catastrophe through the spirit particle calculation device, so they built a shelter in the cave base in the Atlas Mountains.

These alchemists recorded all the history, culture and gene maps of the old human civilization and stored them in the Second Library of Alexandria that emerged due to the drying up of the Atlantic Ocean. Using this as a base, they further explored and discovered the ruins of the legendary ancient civilization Atlantis. Combining modern technology with alchemy, they revived many lost technologies including the divine nanomachine Ambrosia... It was in this forgotten ruin of civilization that they waited for the opportunity to rekindle the fire of civilization with these data and technologies, and to establish a new human civilization that would not perish in natural disasters again.

- Then, the end of mankind came.

Those are eight beings called "Aristotle" by humans. They possess power far beyond the reach of humans. They control angels at will and take the destruction of humans as their own mission, just like what appears in religious legends when the doomsday comes. Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. And their arrival has also brought mankind into a countdown to complete destruction.

"Are there any more cigarettes?"

Looking at a dozen angels whose foreheads were punched through and transformed into corpses, the man holding a black sniper rifle suddenly looked at Zero Point, with unstoppable desire in his voice: "Give me one."

"There aren't many left." Ling Dian glanced at the entire warehouse of cigarettes in the storage bag, and threw a pack to the man: "Save some smoke."

"Thank you...ah, I'm alive."

Looking at the full pack of cigarettes in his hand, even the tired man showed an excited look: "Sure enough, cigarettes are the hard currency at this time. It was the same hundreds of years ago and it will be the same hundreds of years later... Are you really here?" Is there a position in Atlas Academy? Or do you have friends there?”

"Correction." Lingdian said: "I only have a cooperative relationship with Atlas Academy, not one of them."

"Yes, yes, a cooperative relationship... a cooperative relationship with me, a guy no one wants, to collect materials and sell them to those group of alchemists."

But the expression of the man in front of him clearly didn't believe what Ling Dian said. As he lit the cigarette, he muttered: "Except for the group of 'knights' who hold magic swords and have eyes above their heads, I have never seen anyone who can cooperate with them on an equal footing."

"After all, they are strong men who can kill monsters like Aristotle, who have no concept of 'death' at all."

"There's nothing that can't be killed." Lingdian calmly corrected the contradiction in the man's words: "Since it can be killed, it means it can be killed. It's a simple reason."

"...But that comes at the cost of an entire continent."

The man's tone paused, and he unconsciously touched his pitch-black sniper rifle, and responded with a wry smile: "It is true that 'Slashing the Emperor' can kill Aristotle, but the problem is, our earth is still How many times can it withstand the magic power of slashing the emperor?"

"I don't want to spend all day soaking in the water, or change my race into an aquatic creature..."

"No, what I said was purely literal. You are thinking too much."

Ling Dian shook his head and stopped the man's thoughts from diverging: "There is no 'death' in the conceptual sense. Then use the power to explode the planet and completely crush it physically. If cells are not good, then molecules will be used. If molecules are not good, then molecules will be used." Atoms, if atoms still don't work, then completely obliterate them from the aspects of time, space, matter, and energy... There will always be a way."

"... He said terrible things in a serious manner."

The man stared blankly at Zero Point, and after a while, he looked away awkwardly: "Although I have also heard that those guys at the Atlas Institute proposed the concept of 'crushing cells at the atomic level to ignore death. 'This hypothesis, but it is always an unproven hypothesis. The statement you are making now..."

Halfway through, the man got stuck. He seemed to be organizing his words, but until the end, he could only hold back one sentence: "...It's as if he has practiced it himself or even seen it with his own eyes."

"I have never practiced it myself." Lingdian said calmly.

"...Don't deny the latter sentence?"

"Well, I-"

Before Ling Dian finished speaking, a piercing siren sounded in the air. The man was so shocked that he stopped smoking and jumped up from the ground, looking around with vigilance... And Ling Dian was His pupils narrowed slightly and he looked towards the sky.

——There, there are six figures that are not monsters or aliens, but mimic existences that resemble witches in fairy tales, and they are flying rapidly in this direction.

"...Finally I can't sit still anymore."

Looking at the six figures clearly coming towards him, Ling Dian murmured to himself. He hung the sniper rifle back on his shoulder and patted the shoulder of the man next to him, forcing him to calm down in a panic.

"What are you going to do?" The man known as the "Gun God" was suddenly startled, but Ling Dian's hand was like a mountain, suppressing him unable to move. He could only ask anxiously: "The highest alert is Yali The signal of Stoudet's attack, it's very dangerous here now..."

"No problem." Ling Dian interrupted the other party with an unquestionable attitude: "I am the 'savior'."

"ha?"

--Savior.

A name that resonates loudly.

Although the name sounds quite shameful, the rune calculation method based on the cultivation system and the zero point of rune technology are no less than a sudden savior for mankind at the end of the world.

Zero Point, whose scientific research ability ranks only fourth among the Central Continent team, can already be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow in this desolate world. In a few months, he not only constructed a new grand magic that relied on the free energy and basic laws of the universe, but also prevented humans from having to transform themselves due to changes in the world's environment, and transformed into a new next-generation magic called "Ali Hundred Species". Humanity even used the technology of the Red Alert World 2 and the Pacific Rim World to rebuild the most basic cities on the ruins, retaining the fire of human civilization.

Of course, the purpose of Ling Dian's trip is not simply to do charity, nor is it to bask in the admiration of everyone and play the so-called cool hero. Everything he does is to gather the resources and knowledge of this world to improve himself.

Although he has been following Qi Tengyi to study space-related rune technology, Zero Point has never actually been considered an orthodox cultivator. This is not to say that there are any flaws in his techniques or calculation methods, but that he has never pursued "Cultivation to achieve reality" is the ultimate goal.

Just like the difference between "magicians" and "magic users" in this world, for Zero Point, all power is just a means of fighting. In addition, his cultivation foundation is not as stable as Qi Tengyi's. If he completes the foundation building, condenses the golden elixir, and shapes the Nascent Soul in a down-to-earth manner like Qi Tengyi, I don't know how much time it will take. Therefore, he is ready to create a path unique to himself by combining the mysteries of this world to prepare for the upcoming final battle.

Relying on the help of the alchemists of the Atlas Institute, Lingdian combined the technology of the Xingyue World and refined a Philosopher's Stone as magnificent as a bright star in his own body, and entered the "Golden Pill" in cultivation. Expect".

And with the help of the increase in computing power it brought, Zero Point not only completely refined the magic weapon called "Void Yuji Disk", completely absorbed the power of the space Yuji in it, but also reproduced this plane based on it. The "second method" of manipulating the multi-dimensional twisting phenomenon.

Afterwards, Zero Point completed all-round strengthening of the physical body and energy circuits. His main combat effectiveness has always come from his powerful magic eyes and the weapons and equipment in his hands. Apart from that, he can only rely on the internal strength condensed by cultivation techniques. Although as a sniper, he does not need to be as versatile as Zheng Zha and Yang Yun, but this partiality is too obvious and will undoubtedly become a fatal weakness in high-intensity confrontations.

Therefore, this time, he used the alchemy of Atlas Academy to inject cosmic dust and nanomachines into every cell of his body, completely transforming his body.

Now, the true ether transformed from the life force of the planet is flowing in his nerves, and the death miasma crystals released by the dead body of the planet are filled in every bone of his limbs. Even the heart and blood vessels have been absorbed by the planet at the same time. The blood of the pure-blooded ancient dragon that was born was filled and turned into a Holy Grail-level magic core, replacing the true essence of a normal cultivator. This new set of energy cycles is perfectly compatible with the magic circuits in his magic eyes, and with a little coordination, they are completely connected.

"Don't do anything stupid!"

Even though he was a little shocked by the true identity of the guy next to him who had been with him day and night for a while, the "Gun God" who also concealed his identity still reacted in the shortest time, and now he can also clearly see the six people in mid-air. A figure in black robe came hand in hand: "Even you can't deal with six 'Aristotles' at the same time——"

"Okay, this is my mission when I came to this world... and it is also my test."

Zero point let go of the "Gun God"'s shoulder and took the pitch-black sniper rifle from his hand. A magnificent light flashed in his left and right eyes at the same time: "When everything is over, I will ask the captain to restore the world." ecological environment and rejuvenate the earth.”

As he spoke, Zero Point, holding the "Titan Strike" in his left hand and the "Black Spear" in his right hand, looked directly at the six strongest life species on each planet standing in the void like a knight using a double sword style. (Ultimate ONE): "But before that, I have to kill the will of the planets in front of me..."

"By the way, save this world." (End of chapter)
