Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds - Chapter 617

Chapter 617: 617
 

What’s the Use of You?

An hour after he was captured, the Island Master had a new toilet.

It was a brand new power armor with no induction transmission system. Horus’s control of its daily movement was more like a mobile high-class prison than a power armor.

All the modifications were designed to protect the life of this high-value captive. The ultimate insurance was the injection device hidden inside the nape armor. If there was an unexpected change that was extremely threatening, the Paragon Element would be instantly injected into the old man’s body. Then, the spatial beacon on the surface of the armor would open a phase gate, and the power armor controlled by Horus would instantly rush into the Mirror Image Village that was far away from the world.

There, no danger could threaten the old man’s life.

The reason why he was so concerned was that this old thing’s life was still very useful.

All his value had not been squeezed dry.

Now, the former island master was undergoing a new round of interrogation.

“How did you summon him?” Kant asked,” What I mean is, can this process be replicated? Is the location of his descent fixed, such as a magic array?”

In the previous extraction, he had gotten a good harvest from the God of the Star Palace. Although he did not know what the blue misty crystal he extracted was or what it could be used for, as long as he could snatch it from the enemy, it must be good. He was already brewing a bold idea.

That was, he would have this old thing summon a few more so-called Gods of the Star Palace. It would be best if he could control the location of their descent. He would open a Realm Gate below and wait for them. If they came down, he would capture them and capture them all into the white fog world.

However, the other party quickly shattered Kant’s delusions. The Island Master smiled bitterly.” They are high above and regard the mortal world as an evil place. Why would they listen to the noise of ants? I didn’t summon him. He was about to descend and then contacted me…Before this, I had been devoutly offering sacrifices and praying for decades, but I had never received any active response. Their voices descended or gave orders at any time, and they would never care about my thoughts.”

Kant nodded.” Tell me more about this person.”

The other party carefully said,”…” What are you talking about?”

” It’s up to you,” Kant said calmly.” What do you think of him? The first thought you have when you think of him. His name, his power, any information, any information.”

The former island master’s thoughts quickly turned.

He was now a prisoner, and a prisoner in an extremely dangerous situation. Although he had never been tortured or tortured, he had never relaxed because of this, because the person who captured and imprisoned him… It was something that he could not imagine and fathom.

Although he looked like a young man from Aurora, and according to the intelligence, he was so kind that he was almost pedantic, according to the logical system formed by the island master over the past decades, such a person would hardly become great. Even if he became famous overnight, he would sooner or later die from a conspiracy and a dagger stabbed in the back.

He had thought so.

He felt that Kant was too kind and attached too much importance to relationships. He would not have a good ending in the future. Therefore, even if the Island Master had decided to become Kant’s enemy, he was not too afraid. He knew that Kant had too many things to worry about. Even if the Forbidden Spell was invincible, there were still ways to restrain, hinder, defeat, and even kill him in a non-direct battlefield. Since ancient times, there had been such heroes.

But they were all dead.

However, such contempt and confidence had already dissipated.

The Island Master no longer judged Kant based on his decades of experience and insight.

The reason was simple.

The so-called ” Fire Stealer ” who could make the gods in the Star Palace so afraid was not something that his shallow and stupid so-called experience could estimate. This was his self-awareness and wisdom.

That was why he would not relax just because Kant was being polite to him. He also did not think that Kant would spare his life just because he could offer up a large amount of wealth, connections, resources, and private troops. He did everything he could to earn the fire thief’s forgiveness and understanding, or even to make him his own. That was why he would respond to any of Kant’s requests and answer any of his questions with all his might.

Because he would not have a second chance.

He pondered Kant’s question seriously. His brain was spinning rapidly. He recalled all the interactions between him and the enemy from beyond. His arrogant words, arrogant gaze, disdainful posture, the clues that he inadvertently revealed in his words and actions, and…First impression.

“Fake!” he blurted out.

Kant did not expect Horus to give him a valuable answer. After all, Horus had already interrogated him repeatedly.” What?” he asked curiously.

“.. Illusion!” The Island Master’s answer was a little complicated. He said in a low voice,” When he descended, I saw an illusory shadow. The fog dispersed and revealed many forms. His power was projected from the starry sky and finally became corporeal. At that time, I knelt on the ground and saw many forms walking past me and circling around me. There were voices in my ears. There were men and women, there were fierce shouts and low laughter, and every one of them was very real…”

” They questioned me, they judged me, they provoked me, they humiliated me, they cursed, they even raised their weapons and slashed. I followed the instructions left behind by my father. No matter what happened, I would kneel and wait without moving. In the end, everything disappeared. He appeared in front of me and called me a servant…”

The Island Master told him everything without any embellishment, nor did he cover up his flattery, obedience, and inferiority. Because lies were meaningless, he could not take any risk of being exposed.

Kant was unknowable.

He could not show off his ability to lie and hide in front of the unknown.

“I see.” Kant nodded.

Fog, illusions, confusion…The God of Star Palace had also used these abilities in the previous battle, but the Phoenix’s Eye was the bane of all illusions in the world. The magical support from the platform had also dispelled weapons and destroyed illusions, causing the God of Star Palace’s greatest trump card to be defeated throughout the entire battle. It was truly pitiful.

Then this thing…

Kant extended his hand. The misty blue crystal appeared in his palm and spun slowly.

Theoretically speaking, what was extracted and plundered from a living being was either an Element or an ability. However, this thing was not an Element, and it did not seem to be an Esper Ability that could be used.

“Father, perhaps we can try to infuse some magic power,” Horus suggested.

” Damn it!” Kant slapped his forehead.” I forgot about that.”

He took out his walkie-talkie and ordered,”Halsey, find a Water-type spellcaster and bring him in as a captive!”

No matter how the people of the Broken Islands viewed Kant before, they were all grateful to the Skyquaking Dragon for saving them without caring about their past grudges. However, there were still a small number of rebels who refused to accept the kingship and chose to narrow the path for themselves.

Some of the bandits who tried to stop a chariot with their mantis arms were reduced to ashes under the truth and justice, while the others chose to surrender. What awaited them was the reform of labor, the mercy of learning from past mistakes to avoid future mistakes, and the treatment of illnesses to save lives.

A pale-faced mage was pushed into the room by two Elven Magic Breakers. His hands, feet, and neck were all shackled with magic restraints. In this world, mages all possessed magical and powerful powers, but it was also because of this that there were many ways to torture mages.

Kant waved his hand.

The two elves looked at each other and bowed.

Immediately, a Spell Breaker retreated to the wall and bent his body slightly like a cheetah. His gaze was fixed on the Spell Caster’s back, and his right hand pressed on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

As long as the spellcaster made any strange movements after escaping, the Elven Sword Draw would be unsheathed in an instant, and the Magic Breaker Blade would be able to cut the spellcaster in half.

“A short-lived species.”

” I’m sorry.” Another Mage Breaker reached out to untie the human mage’s shackles.” Cherish your short life. You should cherish the kindness and trust His Highness Kant has given you more than your life.”

Then, the proud elf retreated to the side.

Kant, who had been watching the entire process, did not say a word, but his heartbeat quickened a little.

It was…a little satisfying!

F * ck, are these elves?

No wonder Tina said that even the emperor would be envious to have an experienced elf butler. It was not only because of the knowledge, experience, skills, and elegance that the elf butler had accumulated over a long period of time, but also because the pitiful short-lived humans could not tell whether the elf butler was fawning or expressing his true feelings.

It was precisely because they were noble elves that when they flattered them in a brilliant way, the pitiful short-lived species would not be able to withstand it.

Kant calmed himself down and flashed the Fogcrystal in his hand.” You, come here. Inject your mana into this place.”

” Do it well,” he said lightly.” If you do it well, I’ll add you on the next flight.”

If he was sucked dry of magic power and dried up by this strange crystal of unknown origin and died a miserable death, he would naturally not be doing well.

The mage looked at Kant in fear. He remembered the previous defeat. The fortress they were defending was hit by a series of terrifying tremors and explosions. The scale of the attack was more than twenty heavy fire explosive magic devices. Then, the God of Death, who was clad in heavy armor and had red eyes, broke through the door. They called themselves the Warriors of Destruction and were as cruel as demons from hell. Wherever they went, broken limbs flew and blood flowed.

Facing the Skyquaking Dragon, he no longer had the courage to resist or oppose it.

He gritted his teeth and slowly injected mana into the crystal surrounded by fog.

Kant’s expression suddenly changed.

“Eh…” He urged,” Increase your strength! Continue!”

The mage gritted his teeth and infused his mana. His mana surged out like a flood, and the feeling of weakness gradually spread throughout his body. The pain in his head gradually became obvious. Finally, all the mana in his body was drained, and he fell weakly to the ground.

Kant held the misty crystal in his hand. It was hazy and shrouded in clouds. It was like a dream and an illusion. After the flow of magic power was injected into it, he naturally understood the essence of this thing. As well as its usage.

The Fire Stealer’s expression was first stunned, then enlightened, and then revealed a look of joy. His face was filled with eagerness, and then, the eagerness turned into vigilance, vigilance, and finally, it turned into sanctity.

“Leave,” he said in a deep voice as he glanced at the people in the room.

The two Spell Breakers pulled the sweaty mage and dragged him away. The island master was also controlled to walk back to his cell. The moment the door closed, Kant immediately looked excited.

“Father, what is that?”

Kant didn’t answer. Instead, he poured his spiritual power into it.

The misty crystal floated in the air not far away from Kant. Then, a thick fog materialized. The mana it had absorbed earlier expanded and formed a thick fog that seemed to be solid. The fog twisted and stretched, elongated and changed color. Gradually, it turned into a crystalline white.

Kant was fully focused and his eyes were focused. This was the accumulated experience of hundreds of battles in the gaming world. In order to learn this skill, he studied sketching, makeup, and even craniofacial information outside of class. From then on, he became a legendary figure in the world of experienced drivers. People in the martial arts world called him the little tyrant of pinching people.

The expanding mist was like a ball of plasticine. Her exquisite feet could not be gripped, and her slender legs that were like icicles gradually took shape. The valley was deep, and the small depression was petite and cute. At a glance, two snowy peaks rose from the flat plains. It was a perfect reference to one’s personal taste. The altitude was getting higher and higher…

“Wonderful, wonderful!”

” That’s awesome!” Kant praised as he kneaded.” This god of the Star Palace is awesome!” With this kind of ability, you don’t have to do it yourself. You can even rehearse a small theater! This…”

As he spoke, there was a hint of sadness.

He created a beautiful snowy peak, an exquisite collarbone, a slender jade-like arm, a swan-like neck, and the most important thing was his face. Then…

“Father, my machine soul has just experienced the most intense conflict.”

“Ah?”

” Although I’m happy to see and record some harmless moments,” Horus said seriously,” as your son, I have to remind you this time. This power was taken from the God of the Star Palace. In other words, it’s very likely to be a part of his soul and essence. In other words…”

“Are you sure you want to f * ck him?” he asked.

Kant was stunned.

A moment later, he waved his hand, and the soul-stirring perfect body scattered into mist.

“.. What’s the use of this chicken break!” Kant grumbled,” He doesn’t look like he can fight. He still needs mana. His biggest advantage is that he has a physical body, but…”

If you can’t even make a physical doll that doesn’t need to be washed and doesn’t weigh much, what’s the use of having you!

“It’s still a little useful.” Horus said,” For example, creating an alibi, or playing tricks. Father, did I say something wrong?”

It seemed to have broken a sad dream–whether it was right or wrong.

” My good son,” Kant said woodenly.” It’s better than you mentioning it after I use it.”

The initial excitement had passed.

When Horus pointed out this cruel fact, things would never return to how they were before.

“Father,” Horus thought,”is this thing limited to human forms?” Is there a limit to the size? What does it have to do with?”

Kant gave it a try and answered,” It’s not limited to that. The size seems to be related to the amount of mana poured into it.” Forget it, I’ll think about its use later. At least for now, it’s useless.”

Kant stood up after retrieving the Fogstone.

” I’m going back to Distant Harbor. You’re in charge here. Inform me if anything happens.”

“Yes.”

The Realm Gate opened up in a whirl, and Kant leaped to the Far Port Airport.

The evacuation work continued in full swing. The lights were shining, and the ground was as bright as day. The noise rang out continuously, and the broadcast spread far and wide. There was no sleep in the distant harbor tonight.

Every soul was affected. Even the most ordinary laborers at the bottom were worried about the battle situation thousands of miles away. They were worried about those who had not evacuated.

This was the first time in a world where communication was lagging behind and information was blocked. Everyone in a city, regardless of their status, gender, age, could accurately know everything that was happening thousands of miles away. Everyone was showing the most genuine and sincere kindness to people who had nothing to do with them.

This scene happened quietly and truly, and it shocked all the outsiders.

The world would remember this day.

“Your Highness.”

Kant saw Hong San.

The first mayor of Distant Harbor set up a temporary office near the airport. He handled all matters with high efficiency, coordinated and commanded, and handled the complicated evacuation work in an orderly manner. Material delivery, personnel mobilization, refugee settlement, food supply, medical assistance… Everything was very busy.

Hong San quickly read through a document and raised his pen to sign it. He raised his head and said,” Something big happened again?”

“Yes.” Kant said,” Give the order. Firstly, immediately establish a biological research institute with the highest security level and gather all the Druids, ancient scholars, and historians in Distant Harbor.”

” Second, send a new notice and invitation to Sunset Moon, the Empire, and the Arcane Magic Council in my name.”

” What do you mean?” Hong San revealed a solemn expression and took out a piece of paper.

Kant pondered for a moment and read,” To the Emperor, the President, and the Phoenix King. I am Kant. Let’s get straight to the point. In short, the information about the deep-sea monster suppressed under the Broken Islands has been confirmed. This ancient messenger of destruction, which is said to have destroyed a civilization, is about to be revived. Its new mission is to cut off world maritime trade. I believe you understand the significance of maritime trade to the world better than I do.”

” Judging from the destructive power of his descendants and their huge numbers, I think he can do it. This is not an exaggeration. I suggest that you take it seriously and take immediate action.”

” This is the enemy of civilization, and it should be cut down by the Blade of Civilization. I need your assistance. First of all, experienced and knowledgeable scholars. Please mobilize spellcasters, security forces, and marine historians in related fields to come to the Far Harbor as soon as possible. There’s something here that needs their research.”

” I’ve cut off a few of its limbs. Of course, it’s probably far from complete now.”

” By the way, those tentacles taste a little like squid tentacles. If you want to eat them, I can give you some.”

At this point, Hong San raised his head in shock.

“I’m just joking.” Kant said,” No one can take anything from me for free. I hope you understand.”
