Alien Knights

Meredith looked at Todd who was sitting blankly on the ground, and asked amusedly, "How is the training going?"

Todd, in the tyrant form, glanced at Meredith, and pointed to his feet in frustration.

The latter looked intently and couldn't help laughing out loud.

There is a pile of 2B pencils at Todd's feet, the same style and the same size.

Meredith picked up a pencil and asked with a smile, "It seems that you are very interested in this kind of stick."

"It's not a matter of interest at all!" Todd spread his hands, and said helplessly: "At first, I thought that it would be enough to just squeeze out the things in my soul space according to the shape with the power of the soul, but the matter is fundamental. It's not that simple!"

"You not only need to know the shape of things, but also understand the structure of objects, and even be familiar with the molecular formulas that make up matter, so that you can use dark matter to reshape objects!" Todd picked up a pencil with his fingers and held it in front of him, He said dumbfoundingly: "Moreover, the concretization of soul power is also related to the user's mental ability. The stronger the ability, the greater the mass of the materialized object and the more complex the composition; the worse the ability, the opposite."

Todd threw the pencil under his feet and sighed: "After a long time of trouble, with my current ability, I can only make a few 2B pencils at most."

Meredith shook her head lightly and encouraged him: "Do you know how many people have really learned the ability of the soul since I came to the land of shadows?"

Seeing the doubts on Todd's face, Meredith raised a finger and waved it in front of Todd's eyes.

"only one person?!"

Meredith tapped Todd's arm: "That's right, you're the only one... To be honest, I'm very jealous of you, I've been with the master for so long, and she never mentioned that she wants to teach me this ability .But I only met you a few times, but I decided to teach you everything."

Seeing Todd's dazed look, Meredith said angrily: "If the soul has the ability to embody, there are restrictions on the weight and structure of objects. You can't try to create something small in size, light in weight, simple in structure but useful Is it a big thing? Like this kind of useless little stick, no matter how many you make, it can only be used as a fire!"

Meredith's words made Todd's eyes shine.

The latter rested his chin on his hands, and said to himself: "There is something that is small in size, light in weight, uncomplicated in structure, and the molecular formula is familiar to me... Wait! It seems that there is indeed, isn't it just... "

"Todd."

Scathach's voice woke Todd up from his contemplation.

The latter looked at the purple-haired shadow queen, walked towards him slowly, and stood up from the ground unconsciously.

Scathach walked up to Todd, looked up at the tyrant's golden beast eyes, and asked quietly, "Do you remember how long you've been here?"

Todd replied with some uncertainty: "One month?"

Meredith rolled her eyes and said loudly, "It's been almost half a year!"

Todd's eyes widened: "It's been so long?"

Skaha shook his head and said with a smile: "Is half a year long? Let me tell you a fact, in half a year, you learned something that other trainees couldn't learn in their lifetime."

Todd looked at Scathach in disbelief: "So, is it...?"

"Yes, I have nothing more to teach you."

Lifting the tyrant's iron claws, Todd looked at his whole body, and then said to Scathach: "The training is complete?"

The Queen of Shadows closed her eyes, smiled and shook her head: "No, your training is only half done... Follow me."

Scathach walked in front, and Todd followed her, still the dilapidated corridor, still the spiral downward staircase.

Following the little green light of the radioactive ore, Todd returned to the original place - the ceremony hall under the Kingdom of Shadows.

With a short body, looking at the stone slab under his feet, Todd said to Scathach: "I seem to have guessed who you want me to meet next..."

Scathach looked at Todd, nodded and said: "Among all the forerunners, Leviathan was once a passionate and upright individual. He invested too many hopes and dreams in human beings... But, Humanity has failed him time and time again."

"Todd, remember my words, Leviathan may not want to help humans anymore, but he will not refuse hope."

Looking into Scathach's eyes, Todd nodded slowly and said, "I see."

Scathach put his hands on the stone pillar in the middle of the ceremony hall, the whole hall turned slowly, and the whole space made a rumbling sound of friction.

The stone slab on the ground slowly opened, and a bottomless black hole appeared on the ground.

As the roaring sound became louder and louder, the surging sea water slowly rose up like a rising tide, filling the entire giant hole.

Todd glanced at the sea under his feet, took a deep breath, nodded to Scathach, and then jumped into the sea recklessly.

Although there is no pull of the maelstrom, the body in the form of a tyrant is as free and comfortable as a fish when swimming in the sea water.

Passing through the shallow layer of the sea, the deeper you dive, the darker the surrounding color will be, and the greater the pressure of the sea water will be.

Just when there was no light around, Todd heard a dull thunder.

Here comes the Leviathan.

The creature, which was about the size of a town and covered with tentacles, came to Todd's side, opened its huge eyes, and looked at the visitor.

Todd was just about to communicate with Leviathan when a deafening question caught his attention.

"Self-interest and altruism, in your opinion, which one contributes more to the species?"

After careful consideration, Todd gave his own answer: "Pure self-interest and altruism cannot make correct contributions to the development of species. The greatest role of self-interest is to trigger the motivation of individuals to pursue interests. The most basic element of previous development. And altruism is more like a mediator between individuals, it can seek a peaceful solution when conflicts arise, instead of blindly going to the same end. Therefore, I think that altruism and self-interest The contribution made is equally important to the species."

Leviathan was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Should the Creator interfere with the world of creation?"

On this question, Todd was a little confused.

Leviathan is obviously asking whether Jing Su's behavior is correct.

But this question involves too many premises to be answered simply.

Todd hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I can't give you an accurate answer. But I can give you an example. In my world, when conducting experiments, the temperature and oxygen of the experimental environment will be adjusted at different stages. , pressure and other indicators to observe the changes of the samples. But there is another iron law in the laboratory, which is absolutely forbidden to directly touch the samples, because this practice will contaminate the samples and cause distortion of the experimental results.”

"But..." Todd took a deep breath: "I stand as a researcher, but the relationship between God and the people is far more than that simple, so I can't answer the second question."

Compared with the first question, Leviathan was silent for a longer time this time.

After a long time, Leviathan asked Todd his final question: "Answer me, are you still human?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Todd blurted out: "No matter what shape I become, I am still a human being."

Leviathan's huge body trembled slightly, and he only said one sentence: "Interesting."

Todd's soul was pulled out of his body immediately and entered an unknown space.

Todd, who was floating in the air, looked down at the world below. A huge iron-clad monster rose from the bottom of the sea. Countless humans in flying armor took off from the back deck of the monster, generating flames, frost, and lightning in their hands, venting war to the earth. anger.

On the other hand, the warring parties on the other side, the army composed of different species, retreated steadily under the offensive of human beings and broke into an army.

"The era you're seeing is called the 'Era of Extinction'." Leviathan's voice came from the sky: "In this battle, human beings finally wiped out other races by virtue of their absolute superiority."

Hearing Leviathan's words, Todd looked at the fighting humans in surprise, and soon he saw some problems: "These humans don't look much like us."

"Humans before the extinction era were far stronger than today's humans in terms of personal ability and racial talent. After other races became extinct one after another, human beings began to focus on pleasure and infighting, their abilities gradually weakened, their talents began to degenerate, and eventually became what it is today.”

Todd asked curiously: "Human beings in the past were stronger than they are now?"

Leviathan turned the screen around, and the scene turned into a huge steel temple.

Dozens of human researchers gathered together to tie a blue-skinned, pointed-eared alien into a huge glass jar.

With a sharp cry, countless metal drills pierced the alien's body. In an instant, the alien race was decomposed and only a skeleton remained.

"What are they doing?!"

Todd watched this scene in horror, his whole body was cold.

"Humans call this process 'assimilation'. In short, it is to decompose the flesh of other races, and then analyze the excellent genetic formula contained in their bodies. Finally, extract these substances for their own use."

Todd lowered his head and said slowly: "Anyway, this is too..."

"With this method, human beings have accumulated more and more advantages in the war, and gradually grasped the initiative of the situation." Leviathan's voice gradually became colder: "So, I like to call human beings locust."

Todd sighed dejectedly: "I can understand how you feel."

"I have lost my last hope for human beings, but Scathach is different. She still hopes to find a balance between races, so she recommended you to me."

Todd looked at the sky, and his words were full of helplessness: "To be honest, I really don't know if I can do what you expect. In the original world, I can only be regarded as an ordinary person, and I was even classified as a failure." By."

"In the dictionary of the pioneers, the definition of success and failure is not determined by wealth and status. The reason we value you is because of your inner self."

As soon as the picture went black, Todd's soul returned to his body in the sea water.

Leviathan turned his eyes to Todd, and a thunderous voice resounded in the latter's mind: "I will unlock part of the "assimilation factor" in your body to increase your strength... maybe just like Si As Kaja said, somewhere in my heart, there is still a glimmer of hope."

A scorching force penetrated into Todd's body, tearing apart every cell in his body.

Todd twisted his body in pain, and the tyrant's body underwent drastic changes.

The tyrant originally had a head and a tail, and his body length of ten meters was extended again, growing to a length of twenty-four meters; the neck began to elongate, and gradually became thicker, and became able to rotate freely and flexibly; the scales on his body began to layer and Arranged, it looks more patchwork; the lizard-like head protrudes sharp and strong horns obliquely backwards, and grows angular folds; the lower limbs become thicker and more powerful, while the upper limbs stretch forward. It looks slightly smaller in size; a pair of huge bat-like wings grew out of its back.

Leviathan watched Todd's changes, and left a sentence: "Go, use your method, change the world, and seek the final answer."

After saying this, Leviathan closed his eyes and sank his body into the bottom of the sea.
