Chapter 4144 The Burning Black Sun
They were just about to leave, thinking it would take at least a day or two, when an unexpected incident occurred.
Has anything unexpected happened to the inheritance of the [Infinite Race] before?
Lucia wasn't quite sure; at least she had never heard of it since she first set foot in the [Infinite Race].
Perhaps because nothing like this had ever happened before, the clergy in the hall remained dumbfounded for quite some time.
"Quickly... quickly repair the teleportation device and find out what happened in the Pool of Inheritance!" Bishop Harold was the first to react. "Summon Harnett immediately!"
A priest rushed out, and only then did the hall begin to commotion as people began to inspect the damage to the teleportation device.
Miss Nan lowered her voice and asked, "Who is this Harnett?"
Lucia stared intently at the dome. "He is the only mechanical master of the [Infinite Race]. With him on board, it should be fixed quickly."
Miss Nan sensed the worry in the Princess's tone, but didn't say anything more. There was no use in being anxious now; she should just wait and see what happened next.
Just then, a beam of light fell upon the throne on the steps.
"Lord Gulev!"
The boy on the throne waved his hand, glanced at the dome, and said calmly, "I understand. Repair the device as soon as possible. With Tristan here, the situation won't be too bad."
Soon, an elderly man with a white mustache, wearing goggles and overalls, carrying a large wrench, was pulled into the main hall by the clergyman who had just left.
Master Hanit was about to meet Gulev, the current leader of the Infinite Race.
Gulev waved his hand. "Let's take a look at the teleportation device first."
Master Hanit did not dare to hesitate. As the only remaining mechanical master in the City of Infinity, he and his students were responsible for the daily maintenance of the teleportation device. Well... he watched his students complete it.
Master Hanite was intimately familiar with every component of the teleportation device. After a brief inspection, he concluded, "How did you manage to operate it? With damage to this extent, it can't be repaired simply by replacing one or two parts... It will take at least two hours."
Gulev said in a deep voice, "Call all your students and shorten the time as quickly as possible."
Master Hanite nodded and silently began the restoration work, while someone went to summon his students... At this moment, Master Hanite's grumbling could be heard.
Miss Nan listened for a while, and then she was immediately delighted.
She discovered something interesting: this Master Hanite didn't seem to know much about repairing this thing—he even took out the documents on-site to look them up.
That's it?
The only master mechanic?
See Weizhi book.
It seems that since the Infinite Race severed ties with the scientific side and retreated to the world of Tania, they have lost many skills over the long years…
—Hey, was that guy named Gulev spying on me again just now...?
……
Outside the temple lies the city of [Infinity].
Today is the day of awakening, but it has not affected the daily lives of the city's residents—except for families with children participating in the awakening, who may feel nervous.
"Huh, are you the followers of the Hero's descendants? I don't think I've seen you in the city before."
In front of a snack shop on a bustling street.
A black-haired youth and a blonde, blue-eyed woman.
The black-haired youth smiled slightly and said, "We came in from outside... Is this a local specialty snack?"
Since they were from out of town, they naturally didn't have any local currency. The owner of the snack shop was also a very hospitable and enthusiastic person. "Come, come, have a taste! You can't get this anywhere else, it's on you!"
"Thank you," the black-haired youth said softly. "I wish you happiness."
"You're welcome!" the proprietress said with a smile. "If you'd like to visit, you can go to the central square! There's a performance today!"
The black-haired youth thanked him again.
He accepted the snacks from the kind proprietress, and then strolled through the streets of the ancient city with the blonde, blue-eyed woman.
The proprietress watched the departing young couple with a hint of envy... They were probably deeply in love, weren't they?
Youth is truly enviable, the proprietress couldn't help but reminisce about her own youth... but her sigh was quickly dispelled by the things on her mind.
Today is the great day that her youngest son enters the temple to participate in the awakening.
"Adams should be inside by now... He definitely will!"
I trust my own child.
……
……
……
……
Small island.
"Oh no, how could this be..."
In the center of the island, looking at the teleportation device that had completely stopped responding, [Li Long] felt a headache coming on. One bad thing after another was happening, leaving him overwhelmed.
“Someone has infiltrated the team!” Tristan’s voice suddenly turned serious.
Li Long frowned instantly. Tristan's disheveled appearance was clearly the result of some kind of attack before his arrival.
Who will attack Tristan?
The young prodigies of the [Infinite Race] obviously wouldn't, as they had lived in [Tania] since childhood, and awakening was the most sacred thing for them.
Then there is only one possibility: they are "outsiders".
The quotas obtained by the royal family are for "outsiders"!
[Li Long] subconsciously looked at the silver-haired boy who was being held by [Power Fighter] - wasn't this boy suspicious?
No, this boy has awakened the royal crest. [Li Long] subconsciously dismissed the silver-haired boy's suspicion—after all, this child was with him when Tristan was attacked.
Despite his many thoughts, it was only for a fleeting moment.
"Lord Tristan, did you see who it was?" [Li Long] asked in a deep voice.
Tristan's face darkened. "They're too cunning!"
How could he possibly talk about the details of his sneak attack... Doesn't the former Grand Master of the Royal Knights have any pride?
Tristan has spent half his life on the battlefield. In his youth, he was so badly attacked that he had to use the Life Bank to revive. But the sneak attack just now... was really too much to bear!
That's outrageous! That's shameless!
That's simply not the behavior of a strong person!
“I understand.” [Li Long] took a deep breath. “It seems the other side is indeed quite cunning. Their surprise attack on you was only to destroy the teleportation device… Could their goal be to trap us here?”
"Um, big brother inside, could you put me down? I can't breathe..." the silver-haired boy mumbled inappropriately.
Li Long silently made Quan Doushi release his hand. He hesitated, wanting to ask about the child's background, but the timing was not right.
Could this child really have been secretly sent in by his own father?
"Uncle, here you go!" The silver-haired boy... Young Master [Wild] turned the subspace bracelet on his wrist and took out a set of clothes. "These are my spare clothes, you can wear them for now! Ah, they're so small..."
Tristan's eye twitched slightly. He did look terrible; his armor had exploded, leaving him completely naked.
"No need!" Tristan's body flashed with light, and he was covered in a layer of black battle armor.
The inner armor of the pilot of the [Godslayer Armor] possesses defensive capabilities comparable to the top-tier light combat armor manufactured by the Empire.
The silver-white battle armor he was wearing earlier actually had only average defensive capabilities. It was a creation of the [Infinite Temple], good-looking but useless, and more symbolic than practical.
"Lord Tristan, the most important thing right now is to repair the teleportation device as soon as possible!"
Li Long emerged from the ranks of the "Power Fighters"... He was indeed excited about the current wave of "Microstar," but he couldn't withstand it for long.
Since its inception, the Pool of Inheritance has never seen the extinction of any "Micro Stars." No one knows exactly how many "Micro Stars" exist in the deep sea... Powerful "Micro Stars" are comparable to "Radiant Moon" level immortals, and those things have already begun to appear!
“No need to worry, the temple should find out soon, and I believe we'll be able to make contact quickly.” Tristan pondered, “Let's tighten the defensive perimeter first. The big guy is about to appear, and this group of qualified individuals can't handle it. Your Highness, why not deploy [Divine Martial]?”
He glanced at [Power Fighter], frowned, and thought to himself, "What time is it? You're still just standing around doing nothing?"
Li Long couldn't help but chuckle wryly. He glanced at the seemingly harmless silver-haired youth, hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Tristan, [Shenwu] is currently in a phase of autonomous evolution..."
It's not that it can't be started, but starting it would very likely interrupt this autonomous evolution...
Tristan remained silent for a moment, then said, "Understood."
He uttered a sentence, and the inner armor's thrusters instantly shot out, rising into the sky. Then, the [Godslayer Armor - Battle Axe] streaked across the sky like a meteor, instantly catching Tristan within it.
Having a driver and not having a driver are two different concepts for the [Godslayer Armor].
The teleportation device has been destroyed, so there's no point in guarding it anymore.
Tristan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If he hadn't been so greedy for the [Microstar] wave, and had instead activated the teleportation the moment the crisis occurred...
Now that things have come to this, all we can do is try our best to protect these qualified individuals.
"What's your name?"
Li Long quickly looked at the silver-haired boy.
"shortage!"
Li Long nodded. "Can you pilot a mecha?"
Young Master Huang quickly replied, "Yes, my teacher is Brother Hiro!"
“Hiro?” [Li Long] was taken aback. “You mean…Hiro Yul?”
"Ah! That's right, my older brother! Isn't he amazing!" Young Master [Huang] said with a proud expression.
“Listen carefully, Huang, I have many questions for you, but unfortunately now is not the right time.” [Li Long]’s expression grew increasingly strange. “This is for you to use. Try to protect yourself.”
After saying that, Li Long threw out a badge.
This is also Li Long's backup unit, but it's only a "hero unit"... a unit that will only be activated in the worst-case scenario.
However, as one of the most outstanding geniuses of the royal family, even the backup [Hero Mech] is the highest grade model.
Young Master [Huang] immediately showed excitement, "Big brother, you're so kind! Unlike my uncle! I begged him for so long, and he still wouldn't give me one! He's so stingy!"
Actually, it wasn't that King Atesliu was reluctant to part with a Hero Mech; it was simply that he had no intention of letting Ara enter the Pool of Inheritance!
You already have the emblem, so why bother going in? Just sneakily get a set of [Godslayer Armor] – since you're not going into the Pool of Inheritance, what danger could there be? I might as well not bother preparing.
But King Atesliya never considered that this great nephew was completely uncontrollable.
This was the second time he had mentioned his father... After giving the silver-haired boy a deep look, Li Long boarded the [Power Fighter] board.
Further discussion is pointless; dealing with the current crisis is the priority.
"Raphael's machine..."
Switching back to the [Power Fighter's] view of the battlefield, [Li Long] quickly noticed [Exusiai's] direction again... [Exusiai's] combat style was very sophisticated, clearly showing her rich combat experience.
"It seems this young lady has gone through a lot before her return..."
……
"A perfect opportunity! Quickly, swallow this star of light!"
Inside the cockpit of Exia, Ms. Nan's voice rang out once again.
"...Um, Godmother, could you please keep an eye on Exusiai's energy reserves?"
"That's why I had you swallow the Star of Light to strengthen your mental power!" Miss Nan said irritably. "Otherwise, what would I need a giant battery like you for? If you don't get stronger soon, who knows if we'll see your grandma standing there... that brat is too cunning!"
Who are you talking about?
Xie Nan was too lazy to explain. She had just used a clone to enter... so she didn't bring anything with her. Even a skilled cook like Miss Nan, who has many un-unlocked poses, can't cook without rice!
Just then, a green beam of light suddenly shot into the sky.
Xie Nan was startled and subconsciously looked at the place where the pillar of light appeared, only to find that it was released from a young man of the [Infinite Race].
"Another one has successfully awakened?"
……
"I...I did it!"
An excited voice rang out, belonging to the tall [Infinite Race] youth... The serrated markings on his cheeks began to flash, and even his pupils turned emerald green!
Everything was different. The tall boy instantly felt that the whole world had changed in his eyes!
MSI's movements slowed down, and the dynamics of the battlefield were being presented in his mind with unparalleled clarity in every aspect!
"Did you see that, Adams! I did it! I really did it!"
"You...you're too reckless. What if you fail..."
"I couldn't resist, I acted impulsively... Hahaha!! I'm lucky!" The tall boy licked his lips. "Whatever!"
The blank-plate machine instantly unleashed formidable combat power.
Adams was greatly shocked to see his companion's awakening succeed... He subconsciously looked at the light star in his hand. Facing the wave of [Micro Stars], although the drop rate was low, it was still easy to collect 10 marks.
Adams' heart was pounding.
—I…maybe I can too…
"I...I succeeded too?!"
Before Adams could make a decision, another companion called out in surprise and delight.
Adams watched in disbelief as the second member of his tribe successfully awakened, and he began to question the meaning of life... What was wrong with this awakening ceremony?
When did awakening become so easy?
Is today a wholesale day?
What happened to the promised spiritual pollution?
This isn't how they teach in the temple's advanced training program, is it?
Adams wasn't the only one with the same doubts... Tristan shared the same questions!
[Li Long] and Raphael are one thing, they are rare geniuses of the royal family who awakened on their own - apart from these two, so many emblems appeared all at once after entering the Pool of Inheritance.
This is no longer a surprise, it's a shock!
So weird!
"Damn, why did they awaken so easily...?"
As if stimulated, a royal youth in one of the [Heroic Mechs] suddenly fused a newly acquired Star of Light with himself!
At this moment, all of His Highness Li Long's instructions had been forgotten. As long as he successfully awakened, he would instantly become a superior person among the royal family!
"I...I felt it, this power!"
A light green emblem began to appear above the young man's brow, and the entire cockpit glowed with a faint green light!
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
A burst of wild laughter instantly filled the sky.
"No...no!! Stop! Stop—!!!"
But the laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by the terrified screams of the royal youth!
Inside the cockpit, the royal youth's body instantly withered, only his head continued to swell abnormally... The emblem between his brows grew brighter and brighter... BOOM—!!
Blood and brain matter splattered onto the screen instantly.
The out-of-control [Hero Mech] crashed wildly in the sky before finally plunging into the gray deep sea.
The failed awakening of the royal youth was like a bucket of ice water, instantly chilling the hearts and backs of several restless royal candidates.
……
"There really are two lucky people..."
Inside the cockpit of the Heroic Mech given to him by Li Long, Young Master Huang winked with amusement. On the screen were the two newly awakened Infinite Race youths.
In all honesty, the awakening of these two [Infinite Race] youths really had nothing to do with him.
"but……"
"Their good luck means I'm lucky too!"
The royal crest once again bloomed between the eyebrows of Young Master [Wild]—if anyone familiar with the royal crest saw it, they would be instantly surprised... even horrified!
Because this is the fourth stage of heraldic display!
The green beam of light shot into the sky once more.
A communication message from [Li Long] appeared on the screen in an instant: "Huang, what are you doing! Contain the power of your emblem, this will only attract more...you?! The fourth stage?!"
"Ah... I don't know what's going on..." Young Master [Wild] looked bewildered. "After those two [Infinite Race] elder brothers awakened, this thing seems to have become uncontrollable. How do I stop it?"
“You…” [Li Long] opened his mouth, then his expression changed drastically.
Because he discovered that his royal crest seemed to be... also becoming uncontrollable!
As if it were a chain reaction... In [Exusiai], Raphael felt an intense burning sensation between his brows.
"Mommy, I'm so hot..."
"I go……"
Miss Nan's heart sank. She stared in horror at the distant, gray sea, and inwardly cried out: What the hell is that thing...?
From the perspective of Dark Souls.
It was a blazing black sun.
A terrifying soul... is awakening.
