Chapter 206 The Forerunners (two chapters in one)

Deep in the dark space, in the vast void, a huge oval battleship is slowly moving forward.

This battleship is extremely huge and looks like it is made of shimmering crystals. The outside is covered with a thick layer of metal-like armor, and in the center is an energy well that spurts out light and flames. It stands tall and towering like a mountain.

.The lines on the hull are criss-crossed, and electric light is constantly lighting up the sky.

Above the ship, a huge black energy crystal is suspended.

Thick chains that require dozens of people to hug are wrapped around the suspended black energy crystals, and the ends are tightly welded to the dark armor of the battleship. When moving in the void, the black energy crystals buzz above the energy well.

It buzzed and vibrated, and hundreds of chains wrapped around it also made clattering sounds at the same time, and a dull and solemn atmosphere seemed to be rushing towards my face.

Inside the battleship.

The navigator of the Fire Spirit Tribe is passing through the augury.

Although the fire spirit's space navigation technology is very mature, traveling in the void is still accompanied by various dangers.

Changes in physical rules caused by subspace, nameless monsters lurking in the darkness, and high-heat materials ejected by stars... every crisis is enough to make this expensive Storm-class battleship perish in a sea of ​​fire.

"Didi!"

The buzzing sound from the oriole attracted the navigator's attention.

The navigator looked towards the three-dimensional projection of the auspicious device, and the destination of the trip, Planet Mine No. 3, appeared in front of him.

Planet Mine No. 3 is as desolate and dead as ever, with a thick atmosphere covering the red star, and beneath the atmosphere are vast deserts and huge canyons.

but…

This time, compare it with the recorded data.

There are obviously some unexpected changes on the planet Mine No. 3.

"This is... a city?"

The navigator rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the picture on the auspicious device to make sure he had seen it correctly.

After thinking about it, he passed the news to General Salles, the commander-in-chief of the battleship. General Salles needed to make detailed arrangements for the follow-up plan.

Dodge, cooperate, kill...

When dealing with a new civilization, there are nothing more than these three options.

Fire elves have the power to devour memories, knowledge and bloodline talents. It is precisely because of this talent that fire elves are called space man-eating sharks by some races.

In past experiences, the probability of fire spirits making the third choice is far greater than the first two choices combined.

Moreover, judging from the scenes transmitted back by the auspicious omen, the traces of civilization on Planet Mine 3 seem to be underdeveloped.

The navigators seemed to have anticipated the cruel fate of those lower civilizations.

He couldn't help but smile.

Navigating for a long time in the universe is a boring thing, and you need to be mentally tense at all times. There are countless unlucky people who have gone crazy due to long-term depression during the voyage.

For a low-level fire spirit like him, a cruel and crazy killing is a good way to relieve stress.

Boom, boom, boom!

Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, the figure of General Cyrus appeared behind the iron gate.

It took less than ten minutes from the time when the auspicious device conveyed the information to when General Cyrus arrived in person. It was obvious that the general took this matter very seriously.

"Show me those pictures." Cyrus' deep voice sounded.

Ordinary fire spirits are between 1.8 and 2 meters tall, while General Cyrus is close to 3 meters tall. He is also covered in heavy iron armor, with only his head exposed.

An invisible sense of oppression emanated from General Salles.

The navigator felt a chill running down his spine. He did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly operated the auspicious device to display the previously captured images.

General Cyrus looked at the picture on the auspicious device and did not speak for a long time.

Until there is a tick.

The navigator lowered his head and looked down, only to see the general's saliva dripping on the iron floor, and there was a faint sound of corrosion.

"They are not the natives of Planet Mine 3, but outsiders." General Sellers asked: "A civilization with a low level of development can sail across the stars. Do you know what this means?

?"

"This means they can have strong subspace affinity?" the navigator replied tremblingly.

"That's right!"

General Cyrus wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said greedily: "Such a race is very delicious to us fire spirits... If we can complete this strength and talent from their blood, then we will become

The hero of the entire fire elf tribe."

"Turn around and move forward at full speed!"

General Sellers gave the order, then turned and left the small navigation room.

…

Noland world.

After being comforted by the goddess Ergani, Kratos's anxious thoughts finally calmed down a little.

The goddess showed Kratos a path, but Kratos did not move forward immediately. Even though he is no longer the God King in the Olympus pantheon, Kratos is still the top new god.

Possessing powerful strength and nearly infinite life.

Time is not a precious thing to Kratos.

He first left the ice sheet and spent some time traveling around the Eastern Continent, and then returned to his hometown across the ocean.

Thousands of years have passed.

The Othebes River still flows across the vast land, and the river water is as fast and surging as ever. But the scenery along the river bank is no longer what Kratos remembered.

Those ancient city-states and even the Olympian gods were buried in history.

Strolling through my hometown.

Kratos feels like a ghost from ancient times... He is a god, but he grew up as a human. This contradiction has accompanied his growth, until now it has been completely detonated.

Putting Kratos into unprecedented confusion.

"This is no longer my hometown." Kratos finally sighed.

He tore apart the space barrier in front of him and entered the subspace.

In the boundless subspace of chaos, under the crimson sky, a road burning with golden flames was born from the world of Noland, spreading toward the depths of the void until it reached the end beyond Kratos's perception.

"Is this the path to sainthood?"

Kratos descends upon the burning flames.

The great primordial fire once used his will to reshape Kratos's body, and now Kratos has the same blood as the Dragonborn flowing in his body.

Standing on the Saint's Way, flames burning his hairy chest.

These flames full of ancient power did not bring him any pain. Instead, they made Kratos feel like he was bathing in a hot spring, and his whole body seemed to be washed from body to soul.

"I have heard about the deeds of the forerunners. The first forerunner was the current dragon-born king Abijah. I didn't expect that he could control his power to such an extent. It is really amazing."

Kratos is also a very arrogant person.

But after feeling the power contained in the path of saints, there was a sense of admiration in his voice.

Thousands of years ago, he also practiced hard for a period of time under the guidance of Achilles, the leader of the Academy at the time, and knew that this road was full of ups and downs after reaching the peak.

Every step forward was accompanied by great terror.

For a mortal to be able to step into the realm of the Forerunners, to some extent, it is enough to be called a god.

Of course, Abijah's talent and perseverance are the key factors for his current achievements.

But it was also because he stood on the shoulders of giants, and the experience accumulated by practitioners over the past thousand years provided important help to Abijah's success.

And behind this incident, Kratos also noticed some plans of the goddess and Quetzalcoatl.

in a sense.

Kratos is actually considered a member of the gods in the Dragonborn system.

The goddess once mentioned to Kratos that if he wanted to, she would not mind sharing the faith of mortals with him. He could become the God of War in the current Dragonborn mythology system.

In the universe, peace is always as short-lived as a flash in the pan.

And war is the eternal theme of the universe.

If he is willing to become the God of War, the faith Kratos will gain will definitely be quite expensive, and his own strength will also be able to achieve breakthroughs through it.

However, although Kratos respected the goddess's wisdom and was grateful for the goddess's help over the years, Kratos did not think that the goddess and Quetzalcoatl were walking on the right path.

He believed that the power dug from the treasures of the flesh was not necessarily weaker than the power obtained from faith.

Even weak mortals can rely on hard work to become pioneers in their short lives.

As a half-human, half-god existence, Kratos believes that he can reach a higher level. More importantly, Kratos has been living as a human since his birth.
