That place was built in the depths of the sea where even light could not enter, making people think of an eternal prison. The lowest level of the stone door was at the bottom of the sea, about 220 meters below the surface of the sea.
The cone-shaped outer wall was built to withstand high water pressure, and the atmosphere was somewhat similar to the mythical Tower of Babel.
It could tune the links extending from the four artificial base islands with steel wires to control the vibration of the entire island, making it harmless.
The steel wires that connected to the door were all tied to the lowest pillar. The diameter of the connecting wire formed by about 65,000 steel wires was about 1,650 millimeters. An outrageously large coiling machine controlled them with a motor that rivaled the power of a power plant.
The overwhelming quality of steel and the pressure of the driving mechanism that contained explosive power. Coupled with the strong water pressure that surrounded the entire building. These environmental factors transformed the atmosphere floating in this layer into a viscous and dense gas.
The lowest airtight compartment was being pried open with a mournful sound. The thing that easily tore apart the 70-centimeter-thick armor wall was a human-shaped pet that was shining with rainbow light.
In the center of the pet's chest, the figure of the host trapped inside could be seen. It was a young girl with long blue hair and light blue eyes, the artificial life form Astarut.
A strong man wrapped in a robe appeared behind her. Rotalingia's Rudolph the Destroyer. Eustaha was looking at the bottom of the stone door with a sigh.
"The order is complete. Confirm the target with your eyes." Astarut informed him as if he was still in his pet's body.
The voice, which originally lacked cadence, had now completely lost its emotions.
A pet beast was originally a Summoned Beast from another world. In order to materialize it, the host must reduce his lifespan. Although it also depended on the type of pet, if it was an ordinary human, it was said that just a moment of summoning would cause them to lose all their lifespan. The host's life was nothing more than a simple sacrifice to the pet.
Even if the host was an artificial life form, there would be no exceptions. Astarut, who had been adjusted to coexist with the beasts, was given a longer lifespan than ordinary humans. However, there weren't many of them left. In order to attack the central stone door, he had used too much of his pet beast's power.
However, Eustaha didn't even spare Astarut a glance. He just kept walking towards the center of the lowest floor.
It was the end of the four steel wires that extended from the four foundations of the artificial island. The anchor blocks that fixed all the headstock were small inverted pyramid shaped metal foundation stones.
A pillar, like a wooden stake, pierced through the anchor block and fixed it there. It was less than a meter in diameter. However, in order to connect to the Flux God Island, it had to bear several hundred tons of weight until today.
It was a translucent stone pillar with a texture similar to obsidian-the central stone.
" Oh... oh oh..." A voice of sorrow and joy came out of Eustaha's mouth.
Trembling intensely. Trembling, he knelt on the spot. Looking up at the stone pillar, his eyes were filled with tears. In the end, his sorrow and joy turned into wild laughter.
"The undying body that was stolen from the Holy Church of Rotalingia…I have been waiting for it to return to the hands of our believers for a long time! Astarut! There's nothing stopping us anymore. Pull out that hateful wedge and bring the punishment to this decadent island!”Eustaha let out a high-pitched laugh and gave the order to the artificial life form of the servant.
But Astarut did not move. However, he was still wrapped in the armor of the materialized pet beast. He said in an emotionless voice,"Command recognition. However, there was an error in the prerequisites, so he requested to select a new command.”
"What?" Holding his giant battle axe, Eustaha stood up. Because he also noticed the reason why Astarut refused the order. Who was standing on the anchor block that was fixed as the central stone?
It was a young man in uniform and holding a silver long sword. The girl with the gun.
"I'm sorry. Cancel the order just now. " Your target is the body of the saint who once served the 'God' of the Western European Church…" In the translucent stone, a certain person's 'arm' floated.
It was a mummified, tiny arm. There were scars on his wrists, as if he had been tortured. These were the remains of martyrs who had suffered for their beliefs and lost their lives.
At the same time, it was also the object by which God's holiness appeared in the present world, so it would become the object of people's faith. It was said that a corpse with a strong holy nature would never rot and could trigger all kinds of miracles.
A part of the body of such a saint was sealed in this stone pillar.
"Since this thing is so important, why don't you send more high-end people to protect it? Well, perhaps they had their reasons.”
As a huge man-made city, the flux god island was supported by the 'miracle' triggered by the holy relic.
"The city you call the Flux God Island was designed about forty years ago.”Eustaha spoke in a low and dignified voice. His tone had a dignified atmosphere that was consistent with the teachings of a large number of believers.
"The spirit vein is called the dragon vein in the East. On the sea where they cross, build an artificial floating island and build a new city. This was considered an epoch-making plan at that time. Everyone thought that the spiritual power flowing in from the dragon vein would become the vitality of the citizens and lead the city to prosperity. However, building it was a difficult problem because the exposed power of the dragon vein floating on the ocean far exceeded people's imagination.”The reason why the Flux God Island was built so far away from the mainland was that it was not a big deal. That was the dragon vein, which was the existence of the huge spiritual energy path flowing on the surface of the earth.
The land built on the dragon vein would be filled with spiritual power. Just by doing so, he could perform more powerful spiritual spells or magic experiments than usual. It was an ideal condition for demons 'special zone to carry out demons' research. Building a city on the dragon vein was a must for the artificial island plan.
"The designer of the city, the flux god Qian *, is quite good. The artificial islands that were divided into four parts were selected as the four gods in Feng Shui, and then they were combined to control the dragon vein. However, there was still a problem that couldn't be solved.”
"The strength of the central stone, huh…"
"Just as you said. According to the design of the Flux God Qian Luo, the leader of the four gods, Huang…The dragon was the central stone that was the key to the connection. However, with the technology at that time, it was impossible to make building materials that could withstand such a heavy load. Thus, he violated the forbidden evil method.”
" Sacrifice building materials..." This time, he moaned weakly. It was the snow vegetables. In order to solve the problem of the construction of the flux god island, the designer had relied on the spell Human Pillar.
In order to increase the strength of the building, he thought of the evil method of sacrificing living humans. However, dragon veins referred to the flow of qi in nature. The surging power would place an excessive burden on the artificial island's connection. And if he wanted to use a central stone that could withstand its weight, ordinary curses would not be able to do so. One must have the power to rival the miracles of the gods. So...
" The sacrifice he chose to support the city was the body of the noble saint he usurped from our Holy Church. As the demons were rampant. Trampling on the foundation of the island and trampling on our beliefs is absolutely intolerable.”Eustaha quietly declared with a voice that echoed in his heart as he raised his battle axe.
It meant that he had finished speaking. The Queen of Eustakha's goal was to reclaim the Holy Relic. There was no reason to fight them. That was why he answered such a question.
It was at the same time a proof of his justice-of his rightness. To the current him, any persuasion was useless. There was no way to overturn his determination.
"Well said, and the reason is very good. But I refuse! One of my favorite things is to say NO to those who think they are right!”
Today is my twentieth birthday, and there are many people in my family.）
