The End of the Earth

"Team One has reached the optimal observation point. Good luck, Commander."

"Roger that. Alert to the situation in the air, guys. The rest of the teams, follow me into the base and proceed."

The elevator shaft is a hundred meters deep. Although he can't use the cushioning device to land safely like them wearing power armor, he can use the power of wind magic to support himself. Xiang San, who is obsessed with magic, is very skilled in this application.

This elevator shaft is connected to the living area of ​​the base. The tragedy in this area is far beyond everyone's expectations. There are all kinds of ways to die.

A dried corpse was leaning on the dining table with its mouth covered. A team member pulled the corpse's hands apart and found that a fork had gone directly into its mouth and killed it.

"Commander, it seems something happened that caught these men off guard and killed them suddenly."

"Yes, you see, all of them are in the same posture as before they died. Although the way they died was different, they were almost all eating normally before they died, and some were even holding cutlery in their hands."

He dug up a dead body lying on the dining table. Due to the long-term adhesion to the metal table, the skin of the dried corpse had stuck to the table. Xiang Sanyi tore off a large piece of human skin with force. They were glad that they were wearing power armor, otherwise the smell would definitely make them unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

What has always puzzled Xiang San is that after the big guy broke through the surface and tore open the outer structure of the base, there was no sign of invasion at the entrance?

No matter how much he calculated and analyzed, he could not come to any conclusion.

Tracking and analyzing the obvious tear marks on the surface, he knew that the target creature must be much larger than he expected. How could it start well but then end up with nothing?

Since he was wearing an improved anti-radiation suit that could not drive the ultrafine nanoparticles in his body to flow out of the body, he could only use the ultrafine nanoparticle clusters stored in a small external pocket to manipulate the data transmission network that invaded the base. Surprisingly, the entire base's intelligent system had completely lost response. Even if the data module of the main program was removed, the auxiliary program should still be there.

There is only one explanation for the current situation, that is, the intelligent system servers of this base have been completely occupied and covered, and now it is the backup power that supports the operation of all facilities.

"Giant tears on the outside of the base, and the corrupted intelligence systems inside... Who the hell is this?"

Thinking of this, San's biological senses had already sensed a hint of danger, but the more so, the more he couldn't help but explore forward.

The New World Super Material R&D Base is right at his doorstep. If he doesn't make a fortune, it would be inconsistent with his biological characteristics as a greedy earthling.

"Spread out and search."

Everyone dispersed towards the various passages. With the protection of power armor, they could easily deal with any danger.

In terms of base structure, the scale of this base is far beyond the comparison of the base in Jia City, so they have searched for a long time without any results, and some sporadic discoveries are of no value.

"Commander, a mobile terminal has been discovered."

Xiang San rushed over after hearing the news. It turned out to be a senior executive's private terminal. No one knew how he had avoided security checks and brought the equipment into the base.

Xiang San hacked into the terminal and found a large amount of file data. In addition to some conventional theoretical research reports, most of them were related to a project plan called Quantitative Skeleton.

His Creator Brain worked at high speed to analyze, and the result was that the Quantitative Skeleton Project was highly compatible with the Creator Plan and was likely a related subsidiary project.

"This is the case at the Jia City Base, and it's also the case at the Dekru City Base. What exactly is New World planning?"

This doubt has been lingering in his mind since the beginning of Jia City. The main directions involved in the biological base and the material research and development base are all centered around the Creator Plan. Xiang San now even suspects that he is just one link in the Creator Plan and it has not really ended.

As for the content of the plan, it was obviously beyond his expectations.

Through another elevator shaft, he explored towards a more core area. Although there were route maps everywhere in the base, according to his calculations and analysis, there was a high possibility that some undivided blank areas contained hidden spaces. The need to conduct research while concealing it from insiders largely confirmed his view that the apparent turmoil of the Creator Project might just be a decoy.

"Commander, survivors found.

Hey, don't run!"

There was a burst of noise coming from the communication channel.

"Be careful and take away everything you can, whether it's people or things."

There was also some progress on his side. The alloy metal wall in front of him was turning into a glass wall.

Xiang San took out an identification card and a shriveled human eyeball from the outer pocket of his radiation protection suit. These were spare ones he had picked out from a dried corpse.

A blue light flashed on the wall, projecting a light wave that scanned the identification card and eyeball in Xiang San's hand. A crack appeared in the middle of the wall and slowly opened like a double door.

After entering, he was surprised by the suddenly wide space, because he estimated that the hidden space inside would not be too large, at least it should not be the same as what he saw before his eyes.

"Hallucination?"

He hesitated for a moment and took off the helmet of his radiation protection suit. The fresh air made him feel very comfortable, going directly from his nasal cavity to his lungs. This quality of air could probably only be felt in the countryside.

Tests inside the anti-radiation suit showed that the oxygen content in this space was very consistent with human breathing standards, and there were no life-threatening rays.

The only thing that surprised him was that there was nothing superfluous in the entire interior space, not even a button or switch. Looking around 360°, the building materials of this space were all black mirror-like materials that looked like metal and crystal. His electronic eyes could not scan out any results.

"Hello?~"

Looking at his own reflection under his feet, he shouted to himself as if possessed by a ghost.

I saw my projection in the mirror under my feet disappear!

Countless particles in the center of the mirror space began to construct a human body, slowly from the skeleton to the human skin. The mirror material on the ground climbed onto it like a living being. Finally, a person who looked very familiar to Xiang San appeared in front of him.

he himself.

"Number two?"

Xiang San tried to ask the person opposite him who had the characteristics of the magic hand and looked exactly like him.

Although he looks like himself, his entire body is covered with a substance similar to this mirror space, so it is hard to say whether he is a friend or an enemy.

"Hello, other me, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Number Two opened his eyes, and the active data stream in his blue pupils indicated that he was analyzing Item Three.

Xiang San could not hear any kindness in his tone.

"Number Two? Is that you? You don't look friendly."

Number Two smiled, opened his arms, and said jokingly, "I have to say your genes are very strong. They have given me the power I have now. My future is much better than yours."

Xiang San remained silent, and Number Two looked weird.

“You know, the thing I dislike most about you is that when I became another you, your personality was also attached to me.

It makes me feel like a garbage can.”

Xiang San was about to speak when Number Two interrupted him, saying, "I know what nonsense you want to say.

In fact, you and I are like two positive and negative ions. Although we can coexist peacefully, we will still react in the end.

Only one of us can survive, and although our encounter happened a little sooner than I expected, it also allows me to finish you off sooner."

After saying that, he flattened his right palm with the tip pointing at Xiang San. His whole body was tense like a giant python ready to strike. The mirror material on his body began to spread to his right arm, and his entire right arm condensed into the shape of a mirror spike.

"Come on! My Self, let's test the power of the black crystal, a cutting-edge material left behind in the world of spirit bones."

Danger!

Xiang San's senses sensed a fatal crisis, the pores of his body suddenly exploded, and the tingling of his nerves prompted him to make an urgent physical reaction. Unfortunately, as a human being, although his physical condition has been enhanced to a certain extent, it has not yet reached the level of transcending the mortal body.

After rolling over to avoid the spear attack from No. 2, Xiang San was already sweating all over. The extreme evasive action just now had already made his adrenaline surge. If he had the bloodthirsty clan's source stone on him at this moment, he would definitely not hesitate to swallow it directly.

However, there are no ifs in the world. If he cannot come up with a way to deal with it, he will definitely die because he cannot use this extreme human evasive action frequently.

Hiss~

There was a tear in his radiation suit, with blood splattering out. The long-lost nerve pain feedback made him subconsciously choose to shut down his senses.

"Do you feel like you can't mobilize your magic power? This base is not just researching nano black crystals."

After saying this, Number Two smiled strangely, and his attack became more and more fierce.

Xiang San's magic power was completely unusable. He understood what No. 2 meant. He didn't expect that this material research and development base also had research on anti-magic materials.

The New World is truly a New World.

With a turn and a roll, Xiang San No. 2 caught Xiang San's movement trajectory, paused with a braking method that was difficult for the human body to accomplish, turned around and stabbed.

The black crystal gun hit Xiang San's abdomen, pushing him against the mirrored black crystal wall. The place where he was hit was exactly the legendary object, the Heart of the World.

"Huh? What is this?"

Xiang San No. 2 found that the black crystal spear in his right arm hit Xiang San's abdomen and encountered some hard substance, and he could not move forward to kill the other party completely.

Number Two gathered all his strength into the black crystal gun, which began to emit a stream of heat, and the dark mirror-like black crystal became brighter and brighter.

"Die peacefully! I am more suited to this world than you!"

Click~

Xiang San looked at his abdomen in shock as the black crystal spear slowly sank into his body. He could feel the heart of the world shattering.

The legendary object from the Tower of Miracles was actually destroyed in such a simple way. One can imagine how terrifying the black crystal on Xiang San No. 2's body is.

The heart of the world shattered and turned into endless light dust.

"Let this end, it's a kind way for you.

Go away, other me."

Number Two was about to say a few more words to express his pleasure of being himself, but he found that the light dust floating from the abdomen of his original self was sticking to his black crystal gun arm.

His eyes widened. These light dust substances were taking over the control of his body. As an experimental subject of the Creator's plan, his body was more mechanized than his original self. His entire body, including the electronic brain, was completely covered by the Matrix Creator System.

Without any warning, Xiang Saner No. 2 suddenly lost consciousness, and at the New World Headquarters on the other side of the Earth, a man opened his eyes. The dark pupil in his left eye declared his abnormality.

“Fate always chooses to favor you, Self.

We'll see you again, with other versions of you."

The face of No. 2 is exactly the same as Xiang San's, but it turns out that the real person of No. 2 is not in Molva.

At this time, Xiang San was so weak due to the severe injuries he suffered that he could not control his movements stably even if he forcibly closed his senses. He looked at the huge wound on his abdomen. According to the normal human endurance limit, he should be dead by now.

He looked at Number Two who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, thinking about something.

“He can’t be number two… who could it be?

What do you mean by the other me?

Xiang San had a lot of questions in his mind. The other party's wording and speaking habits were very different from those of No. 2. He didn't think that No. 2 was remotely controlling the clone. In other words, it should not be No. 2 who was controlling the clone.

There were many doubts, he had some opinions, but he couldn't be sure.

The Heart of the World has been destroyed, but the power of the Heart of the World was also released at once during the destruction, madly eroding the remaining copies of No. 2.

The entire mirror space began to collapse and shrink, and the black crystals on the mirror became like pectin and gathered towards Xiang San No. 2's body. All the nano-black crystal matter condensed into a black crystal ball with a diameter of two meters, which was very strange.

Without the anti-magic suppression power of the nano black crystals, Xiang San resumed the use of magic. For this group of nano black crystals that had transformed, Xiang San could feel that he had gained control over it?

From a functional point of view, this is simply for him, no, it should be a module that serves the Creator system.

The No. 2 he faced was just a replica built using a material base, used to seize control of the technologically advanced nano-black crystal.

The disadvantage also lies in this point. Because it is only a replica with partial computing power, it takes a very long time for the replica to fully analyze and control the nano black crystals. Unexpectedly, Xiang San intercepted it and took away the fruit, and the cooked duck fell into someone else's mouth.

Xiang San was unable to separate a portion of computing power for remote intrusion like the fake No. 2. He was indeed a failure in terms of the purpose of the Creator's Plan.

This is his weakness but his advantage is also very obvious. Xiang San has all the computing power for any data activity and is a very terrifying existence in the electronic network, like a living super terminal.

"Why are these nano-black crystals so easy to manipulate? If it's because of the Heart of the World, how does it have this function?"

He couldn't figure it out. According to his data analysis, it would take at least two months to gradually gain control of the nano black crystal balls. You have to know that the fake No. 2 has been staying here for a very long time, which can be seen from the degree of decay of those corpses.

By controlling the nano black crystal balls, he finally no longer had to drive ultra-fine nano particle flows as a means of attack. These were all substances that maintained the core of the Creator System. He currently had no way to produce them if he used less of them.

Black crystal, a substance the human world cannot fully define. Is it organic? Yes, it is. Is it not? That's also true.

A substance that does not exist in human civilization, it can accompany life, machinery and even liquids.

He slowly controlled the black crystals to build patches on the damaged parts of the anti-radiation suit to stop the continued damage to his body from the outside world. Nano black crystals have almost unlimited active ingredients.

The nano black crystals, created by combining human technology and the lost technology of the Spirit Skeleton World, are also the culprit for the extinction of the native species of the Spirit Skeleton World. Xiang San naturally doesn't know this, and precisely because of this, the existence of the black crystals will bring him power while also bringing him endless disasters.
