Ark of the Immortal

Under the protection of the World Barrier, the Sea of ​​the Abyss will not be able to do whatever it wants to this land. The power of the Abyss will be largely isolated.

And those parts that penetrate into the world will also be transformed from filth that cannot be understood by ordinary people and cannot be used to ownerless power under the influence of the abyss and divine words.

It's just that because it originally belonged to the abyss, it is extremely corrosive and harmful.

But at least now it can be used by us to become a power for the new generation of people.

Theresia seemed to realize something, her mouth opened slightly, and she fell into a long pause.

The doctor spoke softly and said.

This power, as it appears in the mortal world, is the Source Stone.

426. Theresia said so

From Kazdael to Agor, we tried many methods, but in the end we could only rely on the power of the First Fire and the divine writing to temporarily isolate the danger of the abyss from the world.

The Source Stone is already the power most suitable for the people of Terra to use today.

My king, now do you understand why I became your follower?

The doctor looked at Theresia in front of him and said.

Your ideal is to eliminate people's prejudice against infected people and build a country where infected people and ordinary people can coexist harmoniously. This coincides with the direction we have found for the future in this generation.

Now, you are a pioneer walking on this road, trying to let people not only see the dangers of the Origin Stone, but also the benefits brought by the Origin Stone, and eliminate people's discrimination against the power of the Origin Stone entering the body. .”

Theresia was a little confused by the truth she had just learned.

I don’t know how many years ago, everyone had the same concept in their minds.

The Source Stone is the product of natural disasters, and natural disasters are natural events that cannot be resisted or stopped.

No one can delay the coming of natural disasters. Therefore, there are so-called natural disaster messengers, which can only predict the arrival time of natural disasters to ensure that residents can successfully avoid the negative impacts of natural disasters.

But the Source Stone is actually the abyssal power that has been weakened by the world barrier, and the natural disasters are also the projection of those abyssal powers on the continent of Terra.

In other words, are the natural disasters that they have always thought to be natural phenomena actually just the surface of another power system?

Sorry...I need some time to accept this fact.

Theresia did not move forward. She leaned against the wall, lowering her head and thinking about so much information that the doctor had fed her.

The doctor also understands that this kind of news is simply something that subverts the worldview, and it is normal for Theresia to need some time.

So he was not in a hurry and just leaned against the wall like Theresa, waiting for Theresa's thoughts and questions.

So, after a brief thought, Theresia asked.

So, that mysterious underwater city is the city you built a long time ago, Doctor?

Yes.

The doctor nodded.

It is the crystallization of Kelsi, me, and the other ten children of the abyss. It is a platform built with our collective strength to carry the body of the world barrier.

So, what is the so-called world barrier?

Theresia gestured with her hands.

Like, some kind of shield?

It can be understood that it functions like a protective suit. Although it cannot achieve 100% isolation like most protective suits, it can eliminate most of the negative effects.

Theresia nodded while digesting the explanation given to her by the doctor.

Then, she seemed to have accepted the situation and explanation of the Origin Stone, and turned to pay attention to other information.

So, are we right? So many infected people in Kazdale are actually people walking on the right path?

For a long time, most infected people have a concept.

They are abandoned people who have lost the qualification to live peacefully in human society because they were infected with a virus that cannot be cured in their lifetime.

Theresia was also more or less affected in her thoughts. Although she believes that the infected people are normal people, she still shows some compassion and kindness when dealing with them.

If it's according to your understanding, then yes, the infected are the ones who really take the path of adapting to the abyss.

The doctor gave Theresia a reassurance.

If you follow Kelsey and I's naming habits, I prefer to call these infected people experimental subjects. They are the contributors who are constantly improving the body's adaptation to the system of Originium infection.

Children born from infected people will also be infected with ore disease. But it is often the children born from the intercourse of infected people who have higher Originium adaptability.

They have better control over Origin Stone skills, and they usually have more powerful Source Stone skills than normal people.

You understand that although there are many operators in the Tower of Babel who are not infected but also possess powerful Originium skills. However, such existences are called elites precisely because they are rare.

Those powerful Sarkaz mercenaries you saw, the reason why this group is feared is because of their fighting talent and adaptability to the Origin Stone passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, the higher the adaptability of the Origin Stone, the higher the dependence on the Origin Stone skills.

The more severe the dependence is, the more severe the disease will be. This is a cycle with no solution.

But at least we're starting to work on it, right?

The doctor's words successfully convinced Theresia.

Does this mean that infected people will eventually become the general trend? And in the end, we will also find a way to make infected people happy?

Theresia's eyes began to brighten.

The Source Stone will also become the power we use. Will its benefits outweigh the disadvantages in the end?

The Doctor was silent for a moment, then gave his answer.

I have no idea.

The Doctor is surprisingly honest in this regard.

Before I was the commander of the Tower of Babel, I was a scientific researcher. A scientific researcher cannot be blind to the truth.

The trend I'm seeing now is the fact that ore sickness is spreading and no one can escape it.

As oriosis spreads, we have to find a way to treat it. In fact, we did find a way to curb the lesions of ore disease, although it is just the beginning.

However, at present, I can't see how to completely cure the ore disease... except for the burning of the first fire. But the burning of the first fire is another level of events.

Originally known as the commander of evil spirits, the doctor's accomplishments in language arts cannot be underestimated.

But faced with this problem, the doctor could not deceive Theresia with some possibility.

What he said is the truest status quo.

But I think if you wanted to... maybe, it could actually happen.

The doctor changed the subject and said cautiously.

In the past, when we children of the abyss betrayed our destiny, we never imagined that there would be such a future.

We had various reasons at that time. Kelsey didn't want to see people crying because their relatives and friends lost their minds. I didn't want to let that boring world continue forever.

“We all came together with our own selfish desires and couldn’t see a way forward.”

But miracles will always happen, and those ideals that were originally out of reach are getting closer and closer to us.

I can't say that your ideal can never be realized. Maybe it is some kind of future. And this future is now in your hands.

Start towards your ideals, and the curse of the abyss will not be able to catch up with the fireworks in the eyes of idealists.

The deeper you are in the darkness, the brighter the fireworks will be.

Hats off to you.

These words echoed in Theresia's ears, and finally became deeply fixed in her mind.

Theresia looked at the doctor who bowed his head in salute in front of her, and the smile returned to her face.

I think I already have the answer in my heart, thank you.

Then let's move on. On the tenth floor, there should be only the last area left?

The doctor nodded slightly, and silence fermented in his heart.

When Theresia showed this smile that seemed to be relieved, he knew that Theresia had thought it through.

So, the two of them continued to walk forward, walking into the darkness shrouded in black mist.

...

Coming out of the last laboratory, Theresia was still communicating with the doctor.

So, Amiya is actually one of your research results?

Well, Amiya is the culmination of our research results. This embryo needs time to settle, until finally, different abyss antibodies are glued together.

The doctor and Theresia talked about Amiya again.

She can absorb any degree of Origin Stone skills, and can learn its secrets through human analysis in a short period of time.

This ability is somewhat similar to the power of the ancient king, and we got inspiration from it.

It's just that there are still limitations to Amiya's ability to learn these powers. That's why she wears a limiter to prevent those powers that haven't been absorbed from going wild.

Theresia nodded.

During the time just now, she saw the experimental facilities on the ship and the embryos in the jars.

The doctor naturally mentioned Amiya and told Theresa about Amiya’s origin.

The reason why she was able to meet you in Kazdare is because of her personality. The First Fire is attractive to everyone. Especially those who have souls and fragments of the king.

As a descendant of the king of Kazdaele, the fragment of the king contained in your bloodline is exactly what is necessary to awaken that hero. Amiya also longs for such power, and her instinct brought her here In front of you. This is accidental and inevitable in fate.

Theresia hummed.

Although it was Amiya's choice, don't overwork her. The burden will still be heavy in the future. Let her grow up happily while she is still a child.

The doctor didn't answer the question.

Theresa didn't care, but asked about another thing.

Speaking of which, what kind of person was that ancient king?

I saw his image in the room before. It seems that he should be very brave and good at fighting, right? Maybe he is also the very silent type?

Theresia became more and more interested in the legendary hero.

Speaking of the ancient king, the doctor also became energetic.

His name is Immortal, and we all know that this is just a code name. But he also bluntly said that he forgot his name, so he simply introduced himself by the name that others called him.

Actually, there is no way to investigate his achievements. After all, he was just an ancient king. The so-called Age of Fire has almost become the remnants of the era.

But the prophet still told us part of his name and his deeds.

He was the first immortal to inherit the flame, and was known as the destiny of the immortal hero. He also single-handedly broke into the territories of countless kings, and used his unrivaled power to hunt down the strong men who had the qualifications to be kings in ancient times. Therefore, he is called the nameless king explorer.

At the end of the Age of Fire, he was once again awakened by the sound of the bell, hunted and killed five salary kings who were qualified to inherit the flame, and raised the butcher knife against the ancient gods, ending that chaotic era.

When he killed the gods, he had become the last King of Xin recognized by the flames, and the last guardian of the First Fire who had gathered the power of kings of all ages, the incarnation of the King of Xin.

However, in terms of his character... it's not much different from your guess.

When the doctor said this, he looked like a groupie introducing his idol to his friends.

Theresia had never seen such a look from the doctor.

Then Theresa smiled dumbly.

Didn't you expect that doctors also have people that they admire so much? I thought you described everyone in an ordinary way.

...

After realizing that he had lost his composure, the doctor calmed down his emotions and then looked away.

Theresia walked forward while teasing the doctor about his appearance just now.

The doctor also used words to defend himself, until finally he couldn't hold it in any longer, and was forced to nod, admitting that the undead were heroes in his mind.

The two of them were just like this, on the last stretch of the corridor, talking about the past and their vision and description of the future.

Theresia's steps were brisk and the doctor's steps were heavy, but they both walked forward without looking back.

Until Thearesia's steps slowed down and she stopped in front of a wall.
