Chapter 642.
Chapter 642 – Insight
In the last line of contact with the paper ship, Lucrecia tried her best to control it to land towards the Lost Country ship that was flying over the forest.
The Lost Country ship also noticed the small ship that was swaying in the sky and was about to crash, and accelerated steeply once in mid-air, the huge ship’s body was as light as a gust of wind in its spirit state, and almost in the blink of an eye, it arrived below Lucrecia and the others.
The torn paper boat was like an out-of-control cloud, and after several thrilling reorientations it finally crashed crookedly onto the deck of the Lost Country.
Shirley and Dog fell out of the paper boat almost as if they were rolling, and rolled several times on the deck before finally stabilizing themselves, and then a tall figure appeared in front of them – Duncan bent down and reached out to yank the dazed Shirley, who had fallen, up, and then yanked Nina, who had also rolled over.
Shirley seemed to still be a bit confused, after standing up and shaking her head vigorously her eyes finally gradually regained focus, she saw the situation around her, and only then was completely relieved: “Damn finally survived …… I thought I was dead this time… …”
“Uncle Duncan!” Nina, on the other hand, gave a happy cheer and jumped directly onto Duncan.
Duncan smiled and patted Nina’s hair, hugged her gently, and looked up to a short distance away.
Maurice was standing firmly on the deck, propping up his cane in one hand and holding a delicate mechanism that looked like a gyroscope in the other, and was looking over with a smile on his face, while Lucrecia landed lightly from a nearby mast – she flew out of the paper ship one step ahead of time just as it was about to crash onto the deck and out.
Then just now she was hung on the mast.
“Looks like you’re all in pretty good shape,” Duncan smiled and nodded at them, “but seriously, it does seem a bit risky to fly into the burning skies in a little paper-folded boat.”
Lucrecia, who was heading this way, had a flash of embarrassment on her face, “…… There is indeed room for improvement in this spell.”
Nina, on the other hand, immediately tugged on Duncan’s arm and raised her hand to point at the curtain of light in the sky above that seemed to separate the two worlds, “Uncle, look up there-“
Duncan gently nodded, “I can already see it.”
A layer of brilliant light, as if cast from sunlight, was covering the sky between the two worlds, like a low-hanging “shell”, enveloping the yellow sand-strewn continent.
The height of the Lost Country ship was gradually increasing, and had already reached the limit over the forest, and that layer of brilliant sunlight barrier was almost rubbing the top of the highest mast of the Lost Country ship, and a layer of faint ripples swirled around from the top of the mast, which looked gentle and harmless.
“Vanna may be trapped over there,” Morris said with a grave look on his face as he walked over, “The barrier is the power of the ‘Creeping Sun Wheel’, and the constructor of the barrier is coming at the one Vanna mentioned as the ‘sun’, and that’s the barrier we just ran into ……”
Duncan nodded, “I know – the barrier tried to keep me out.”
“So what do we do now?” Nina looked up curiously, “Can we just smash our way in?”
Duncan gave her a somewhat helpless look, “You’re being brought down by Shirley – girls shouldn’t always be full of smashing around and thinking of such crude ways.”
As he said this, he looked up at the magnificent “Sunshine Curtain” that was floating over the Lost Country.
In the next second, a slight creaking sound came from the depths of the Lost Country ship, and immediately afterward, the ghost ship burning with a blazing spirit fire violently raised its altitude for a moment, and then directly rushed towards the undulating and burning sea of light.
The gravitational flip occurred – the moment the flip occurred, the Lost Country violently performed a roll in the curtain of light in response to the shifting direction of gravity after crossing the tipping point between the two worlds.
By the time Shirley rose dizzily from the deck once more, she realized that the Lost Country was sailing on the surface of the hot, undulating curtain of light, beneath which was the vague desert land, while the familiar forest, and Silantis, which had almost been reduced to wreckage, were hanging upside down above her head.
The “curtain of sunlight” separating the two worlds reacted almost immediately, just as it did when the paper boat approached it not long ago, the hot sunlight turned into raging flames in the blink of an eye, and began to surge in waves towards the uninvited guests sailing on the surface of the curtain of light – flames! like mountains, rushing in, whistling and boiling away!
However, every light flame that approached the Lost Country ship was tinted with an eerie green color almost in the blink of an eye, turning into a gentle spirit fire that surrounded the Lost Country ship.
In the next second, these ethereal green flames began to spread across the barrier, like pollution that gradually spreads out, covering a larger and larger area and spreading faster and faster.
This seemingly brilliant and magnificent barrier was being burned and melted through at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Nina’s eyes widened as she watched the golden curtain of light beyond the ship’s side turn into a spreading sea of ghostly green fire in almost the blink of an eye, and she couldn’t help but let out a soft exclamation, “Ooooh-“
Duncan didn’t say anything, he was still quietly staring at the “demarcation line” between the two worlds, his face gradually showing a contemplative look.
He was still recalling the phenomenon he had observed at the moment when the gravity flipped.
The direction of gravity changed instantly – there was no “equilibrium point” between the two worlds where the gravitational force was zero, and he did not feel the “gradual change process” of gravity gradually weakening and changing direction as he approached the demarcation line. “.
This further shows that the “collision” of the two worlds is not a purely physical process, not a contact between two celestial bodies on the physical level – they are already so close to each other at this moment, but the gravity of the two lands are still distinctly independent of each other, as if they were in contact. As if ……
incompatible. At the same time as this “incompatible” state appeared, a strange “erosion” phenomenon appeared in the two worlds of the forest and the desert at the same time, everything was distorted, and unnamable things grew out of the shadows, and Silentis began to collapse and spontaneous combustion before the inverted desert even approached. Even before the inverted desert approached, the Silentis began to collapse and spontaneous combustion, which gave the feeling ……
It was like “spiritual pollution” on the world level.
Two worlds that are completely uninterpretable, untenable and incompatible with each other were simultaneously distorted in their proximity.
Duncan raised his head and looked at Silantis, which was hanging upside down in the sky and collapsing in flames. The World Tree was already completely disintegrated, and in the midst of its collapse, the Elf’s home world was gradually appearing to be completely eroded by the darkness and dissolving in the chaos.
The unique characteristics of the elves constructed this strange dimension called the “Dream of the Nameless”, where Silentis was trapped in an eternal nightmare, and the scene in front of her was the deepest part of the nightmare.
The scene before us is the deepest part of the nightmare. This is the moment before the beginning of the Age of the Deep, and the Great Annihilation is taking place.
The essence of the great annihilation …… is the collision of two worlds.
Duncan suddenly frowned.
Two worlds? Were there really only two worlds?
He suddenly remembered the “warrior” that turned into living metal, the world of swords and magic that disintegrated in the twilight, the “moon” of his hometown, and the endless mists beyond his own apartment, as well as what remained in the city-states today. Those contradictory historical records, the countless bizarre legends recorded in the scrolls of the Dark Ages, those ancient civilizations that cannot be verified, those unexplained historical relics that do not belong to any known civilization, and the …… strong contamination carried by those relics.
Certain historical relics, whose very existence is “poisonous” to the world, distort and contaminate everything around them just by being placed there.
And there are other things, they are not even allowed to appear in reality, there is no way to shelter or harmless, the first time to destroy is the only safe means of disposal, they are scrupulously called …… “blasphemous archetypes”.
Duncan stood silently on the deck of the Lost Country, in the narrow gap between two worlds that were destroying each other, before the end of the day when all things were silent, he finally gained insight into the truth of the Great Annihilation.
Lucrecia suddenly sensed something.
It was as if an invisible wind was drumming on the deck, and a suffocatingly heavy pressure was molding around her.
In a panic, she looked in the direction where the heavy pressure was coming from.
A bright starlight was standing quietly not far from her, the starlight outlined into a hazy human form – this starlight seemed to be standing right in front of her, but also seemed to be standing in the infinite distance at the same time, it didn’t look very tall, yet it gave a strange feeling of endless immensity and never being able to accurately see its boundaries.
Lucrecia remembered that she had seen this starlight before, during her first reunion with her father not long ago, in a dangerous moment, in a glimpse, she had seen some of the “truth” behind her father’s body.
But this time the situation was different.
All the laws of optics and visual perception seemed to fail in front of the starlight, and Lucrecia was shocked to realize that her vision was distorting in the starlight, and all kinds of “logic” that she could not understand was brewing in the starlight, and she tried to avert her eyes, but she found that she could not do it at all-… -She tried to look away, but found it impossible to do so.
It was as if her gaze had become part of the starlight.
However, in the next second, just when she thought that her sanity was going to be completely consumed and assimilated by the starlight giant, all the starlight faded away.
A broad palm blocked her eyes.
Lucrecia froze for a moment before reacting – it was her father’s palm.
She froze and grasped the hand, carefully pushing it away to look at the spot where the bright starlight had just been.
The starlight had collapsed back into Duncan’s form.
“Don’t be afraid,” she heard her father say to her gently, “I’m still here.”
“What just happened?” Lucrecia blinked, relieved to hear Duncan’s voice, but the “burn” from the bright starlight still seemed to be seared into her mind, “You just …… “
“Nothing,” Duncan said softly, “just a sudden understanding of something.”
