Nightmare s CallNightmare s Call
On the upper right wall, there was a small flashing green light which seemed to remind Lin Sheng that something was still silently running here.
He walked forward, and just across the door he could feel a faint hint of chilliness behind it.
As if a different world existed behind the door.
“So the ritual went awry?” Lin Sheng speculated. He then stepped forward and pushed his hand gently against the door.
Hiss….
The sound of metal being ripped apart slowly rang out as a massive hole was torn in the middle of the gate.
From the gap, a surge of thick black mist rolled and streamed out.
“This is… the mist of the Blacktide!” Lin Sheng grimaced. He had fought against the Blacktide for so long now, there was no mistaking it!
Raising his alertness, he slowly walked into the torn hole.
The dense grey-black mist was forcibly pushed aside and soon he gradually got a grasp of the lightning in his surrounding.
Behind the gate was another vast passageway and a sea of corpses lay all over the passage.
The sound of the instrument still rang in his ears, but it seemed to have been weakened and were no longer clear.
“This place…was probably destroyed by the Blacktide…”
Lin Sheng sighed and moved along.
He did not speed up, but instead moved forward slowly with extreme caution.
After all, anything can happen in the Blacktide.
After a short walk, the passageway began to bend.
Lin Sheng let out a Ward of Distortion out, and started to probe the area before him.
This would allow him to avoid any traps that may be hidden.
But the deeper he goes in, there were fewer and fewer corpses around.
But the monsters Lin Sheng had expected did not appear, and it seemed like this place was safer than the previous Central Command zone.
Lin Sheng slowly sped up, and looked at the signs as he hurried towards the area where the ritual was held.
If he was not wrong, the dream would disconnect any time soon. After all, his sleeping hours was not long.
And soon, he rushed out of the exit, and entered a huge cylindrical space.
The area he was in was so high that he could not see the ceiling, it was at least a kilometer upwards and its width was at least several hundred meters.
On the surrounding walls, there were many black openings of the same size, and in the air was pieces of debris of destroyed machines.
Lin Sheng looked up and over.
Something was seemingly creeping within the debris there.
As if it was a shadow of something.
Before he could see what it was, a harsh scream blasted out as a large amount of humanoid shadows rushed out from the debris.
All of these black shadows were the same as the one before the Resource Archive.
They were extremely fast, without shape or form, and soon they traversed the distance of hundreds of meters as they pounced at Lin Sheng from all directions.
“Light.”
Lin Sheng thought.
The holy light within his body suddenly burst forth, as it blasted out into a halo.
In an instant, all of the pouncing shadows were consumed by the holy light as the torrent of light rapidly purified them.
And it was extremely effective.
At least hundreds of black shadows were completely purified and disappeared.
Following that, over hundreds of fragments of soul powers quickly fell from the air and flew towards Lin Sheng.
These were pure soul power and were noy blocked by the holy power.
Lin Sheng looked up as he absorbed all of them. A torrent of memories quickly poured into his mind.
The various pieces of memories about the ship appeared and flashed across his mind.
With his current strength, he no longer needed to be afraid like he was used to.
A moment later, he found the piece of memory he wanted from his memory.
Opening his eyes, Lin Sheng tipped his toes as he flew upwards.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
During the lift-off, countless of black shadows continued to appear from the surrounding mist as they rushed at him in a frenzy.
All of the shadows were continuously purified by the holy light around Lin Sheng before being turned into pure black soul lines that flew into his chest.
Lin Sheng was impassive as he flew straight towards the top.
With more and more information emerging within his memory, Lin Sheng became more and more aware of what had happened here.
And soon, he had finally flew to the top of the area.
There was a giant robot made out of metal hanging upside down on the ceiling.
The giant was covered in countless of black spikes, looking like a hedgehog with steel spikes growing out of its body.
Its face had a man-made nose and mouth, but with only one eye.
The turquoise eye was open, with a dark green liquid rippled within. Within the liquid was a tiny infant curling up within it. The infant’s eyes were closed and was sleeping quietly.
Lin Sheng paused and looked quietly at the giant robot.
This was part of results of Operation Mishv in this starship.
Curled within the single eye was a child named ‘Raccoon’.
And this child was a semi-finished product of the not-completely-successful Operation Mishv.
“What a bunch of brazen people.” Lin Sheng’s eyes narrowed. This was very different from his initial guess.
The top echelon of this starship was not looking for salvation from God, rather, they were trying to artificially create God!
And this little one here, was probably part of the product from this attempt.
“Through the ritual, they would summon the power of the gods, before combining it with technology and creating the most powerful man-made god… What monumental foolishness!”
Lin Sheng raised his rihgt hand and aimed towards the giant robot silently.
“Trying to master a power beyond one’s mortal body itself is a road to self-destruction.”
A magnificent white light began to gather in his palm.
Countless of bright light orbs condensed into an orb the size of a human head.
“Go.”
He pushed gently.
The ball of light flew silently toward the giant robot.
BAMM!!
In an instant, a dazzling light blasted out, and engulfed everything within it.
The giant robot had just moved its head when it was struck with the full force of the condensed holy light.
A massive torrent of overwhelming holy power instantly purified its entire body. This was a Legendary-level holy power.
The limit of holy power was Legendary-level, and divinity was the innate ability of the soul, and was another type of power.
The only difference was that any divine being would be able to unleash his Legendary-level holy power at a rate many times stronger than normal.
This was like a fruit knife in the hand of an ordinary person and a powerful divine being, the killing efficiency was on a completely two different levels.
Lin Sheng stared at the robot as the light had dispersed. He was not particularly interested with this defective product of a machine god.
What he was really interested in, was the mysterious ritual that could sommon the gods.
And that so-called Catastrophean Gods…
So what Anselia had been searching so hard for, was it not God?
