Stray Chapter 3: Voluntary principle

"Well, let's not talk about that, they're here..."

Slightly glanced sideways, Xia Ran waved her hand and did not continue to talk about this topic.

Some things are better than throwing them all in one go, but it is easy to make him lose the initiative. He is just throwing a piece of advice now, let Hades understand that he has such an idea and is an ally who can win...

Then that's enough.

It doesn't make sense to say more, Hades will observe patiently next, if he thinks it's feasible, then there is no need for Xia Ran to do anything, the Hades will cooperate. On the other hand, if the other party thinks that it is not feasible, even if Xia Ran speaks eloquently, it is absolutely impossible to convince the other party by words alone.

All in all, it takes its own hard work to strike the iron.

As long as he shows enough power to make people believe that he can tear apart the entire Olympus pantheon and destroy the countless time and space, all the universes illuminated by the glory of the supreme mountain, then everything will naturally follow. .

As for why he wants to support the second generation of gods like Perseus, the reasons are similar to what he said before.

The super-primitive **** with the head of a human, a bull and a lion is an ineffable existence that transcends the monads of the mind and cannot be described. Therefore, there is no record and cannot be recorded. , above all things, existed before the beginning, creating chaos and order and everything.

This is also the one who is forever, the one who can do whatever, the one who knows everything.

This great **** doesn't seem to care about anything, but after all, he can't deny one thing, that is, he is the real source of Greek mythology, so——

Cronus overthrew his father Uranus, completely dismembered the body of the first generation of **** kings, turned it into the "sky" of the great Greek world, and scattered the universe of countless galaxies...

Cronus, who successfully replaced him and became the second-generation **** king, eventually repeated the same mistakes and was overthrown and replaced by Zeus, and his body was completely imprisoned in Tartaros in hell.

The three successive generations of authority changes did not seem to attract the three-headed **** to take another look. It seems that whether it is Uranus, Cronus or Zeus, whoever leads the Olympus pantheon as the **** king It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who dies in the struggle.

Even if it is the pinnacle of gods who run through the diversity of ancient and modern times and respect the infinite world, in their eyes, maybe they are not fundamentally different from the soil under their feet. Those who win will win, and those who die will die. , Dynasty bacteria do not know the dark and new moon, crickets do not know the spring and autumn, there is nothing worth caring about.

But...

Those vying for power, intrigue, no matter what, the results are all rotten in the pot...

Xia Ran doesn't dare to gamble. If he played a bigger game, for example, if he personally entered the Olympus pantheon and became the king of the gods, the great **** would still not care about such a situation. , did not take any action, so he was determined to add fuel to the flames.

Anyway, the purpose is to throw this divine universe into chaos, so that he can take advantage of it, not really want to make a splash, preach in Greek mythology or something... He distinguishes between ends and means. very clear.

Besides—

It may be better to encourage Zeus' son, and his brother, to riot.

Because I don't have a legitimate right of inheritance, if I want to do this, it will inevitably attract the opposition of everyone in the entire Olympus pantheon... But these people have the right to inherit, even if they refer to the history before this pantheon, They are both able to effectively split the power of Olympus.

Well, that's it.

…………

"Thank you, thank you... thank you."

Returning to the sea and putting down the comatose relatives, Perseus sighed long, then turned to look at the magician, and stammered his thanks. He had no idea what to do. What to say, such a great god, how can I repay myself?

After all, it is right next to it, and the separated sea water boundary is still very conspicuous.

Hundreds of meters high water wall, standing steadily, has been infinitely extended to the end of the line of sight and the sea and sky, the deepest point may have reached the depth of thousands of meters, but still can't escape The fate of being split in two.

The invisible power is so terrifying that it understates the sea.

And until now, there is no plan to recover, which makes Perseus look shocked. Isn't this **** afraid of offending the majesty of the sea king Poseidon? Wait, let's just say...he is actually Aquaman himself, otherwise, how could he do such a thing?

At this moment, Perseus felt that he had guessed the truth.

"No thanks." Xia Ran glanced at him, then glanced at the lost person beside him, three women and two men, all wearing a full set of nano lightweight combat uniforms, with a cool sci-fi appearance. Especially on the two women, it also highlights their well-proportioned exquisite curves and slender figures.

Nano "muscles" and "exoskeletons" can make the wearer extremely powerful. The special materials are also strong and flexible. As long as they are not bullets of anti-material firearms, they can basically be defended, and the micropores can filter the air. It has the function of breathing underwater, and can also automatically shut down to defend against biological and chemical warfare agents...

It also has chameleon-like camouflage performance, optical stealth mode...

Pretty good equipment, the only pity is that the price is not high.

Xia Ran had never contacted or exchanged such equipment before, but it did not prevent him from seeing all the parameters of these combat uniforms at a glance. And it can also be seen how the bodies of the five people have been modified under the combat uniform.

Beneath the bionic skin is either a half-human, half-mechanical hybrid, or a fully mechanized body.

The battle skeleton of the super alloy, the ark reactor, the magnetic field generating device, etc., etc., are basically the embodiment of the so-called "man's romance". Everyone, regardless of gender, can be said to be a pair of pairs. A living, self-aware superhuman mech.

A lost team that is completely inclined towards technology-side enhancement and evolution? Life forms are basically separated from the original race...

Xia Ran was thoughtful.

"Predecessor, senior..." Under his line of sight, several people shrank somewhat, bowing and saluting cautiously.

Unable to detect...

Although there is no rude thing to do to investigate the boss, their current form of perception determines that the passive detection scanning mode is always on, from electromagnetic waves to infrared, scanning in various wavelengths, including Matter and energy reactions.

To put it bluntly, they can count the number of mites on an average person's face in an instant.

However, it was not detected-

Only the purest visual image can see the person in front of me, and no other detection methods can capture the existence of this person.

They even have to think if it's a ghost of nothingness, or an elaborate hologram.

However, behind this one, the heroic girl swordsman with blond hair and blue eyes, and the maid with silver hair and red eyes with low eyebrows and straight eyes like a puppet, are another extreme. In the detection mode of , the rapid red alarm is constantly lit.

"Warning! Warning!..."

"Huge mass reaction detected!..."

"Please leave immediately! You are approaching the gravitational potential well of an unknown celestial body!..."

It is probably because energy and mass are closely related, so in the judgment of the detection mode, there are not two girls in the direction over there, but two extremely dangerous and huge super-mass fields.

Like a massive celestial body, it exerts a force on the surrounding space-time, similar to the feeling of space-time curvature. , almost two wars—

If their bodies had already eliminated the fragile flesh and nerves, and replaced the functions of bones, flesh and nervous systems with various materials, devices or technologies such as superalloys, liquid metal tissues, and quantum signal transmission, it would have There will be low-level stress physiological reactions again, so I am afraid that my legs will be weak now.

It is like an ordinary person facing up close to a super-giant star that is burning violently, releasing endless high-energy radiation of light and heat, so huge that it occupies the entire field of vision and all perception. I feel the shock and my own smallness and fear from the heart.

But then again, if their transformation wasn't as thorough, the detection technology wasn't as advanced and sensitive, and the naked eye was mortal, perhaps they wouldn't be able to feel the truth, and naturally they wouldn't be so frightened.

"Well, how are you... What a coincidence, it seems that our arrival seems to have disrupted your original plan, I'm really sorry..."

Xia Ran said casually, looking at several people one by one. He didn't show any special emotions, but it made them even more uneasy. Hearing such words, they felt that their thinking had become stagnant. stand up.

Let's not talk about the terrifying battle that is taking place over there, the collision of the boundless wind and thunder that shatters everything and the miasma of death that erodes everything.

Just the entourage and maid behind the opponent is enough to prove that this is the real superior.

God and devil...

The existence that they didn't even dare to think about, actually met like this?

"No, no... we... we..." The man headed opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but he became more and more nervous. What should be done.

"Don't worry, I have no other intentions..." The magician also saw their nervousness and discomfort, so he explained very seriously, "Speaking of which, I disturbed your original good, so I Some compensation can be given."

Compensation?

Several people looked at each other.

"Well, I took a look at your strengthening direction. It's really rare. After all, the advantages of the technology side are more concentrated in the early stage, whether it is convenience or effect, or cost performance and wide universality. It is impeccable, after all, you are only users in the early stage, there is no need to substitute into the perspective of producers or researchers..."

Xia Ran showed a strange smile:

"When it comes to the back, it's not as simple as building a workshop production line and making some bullets. If it all depends on exchange, even if it is only the drawings and not the physical objects, it is an expense that ordinary people can't support. If you rely on your own research to advance and unlock advanced technologies, the time, energy and resources consumed are astronomical..."

The faces of several people changed slightly, and at the same time showed a bit of bitterness.

They are a typical example of embarking on a path of no return. Thanks to the convenience of the start, they did not think too much, and invested too much resources in this area. The first few worlds did pass smoothly. Others still rely on the basic melee skills that are stretched thin, and when low-level spell skills are difficult to push the map——

They have already invested in various individual equipment, using various vehicles, drones, cloned biochemical warriors and other technologies, with various advanced battlefield concepts, and they have come and gone in low-level mission dungeons. .

But the good times didn't last long, and soon they found out what the problem was, but they were powerless to change. Because the investment in the early stage cannot be wasted, if they turn to strengthening other aspects of ability specialization, they will not be able to achieve results in a short period of time, nor will they reach the current height.

Distributed resources, but did not get any improvement, it is even more difficult to deal with the more dangerous and advanced quest dungeons.

The result was that he could only grit his teeth, choose a path to go to the dark, and then sign a contract to become a peripheral member of some large teams. After receiving assistance, he persisted until now.

"Come, tell me, do you desire power?"

Xia Ran said with a smile.

At the same time, the maid behind him took a step forward with an expressionless face, held up a scroll that he did not know when to take it out, and unfolded with a clatter, the scroll fell like a waterfall, and it was filled with dense graphics and text. , let a few people look at the past subconsciously.

Then their faces changed drastically.

…………

——Bioproliferation gene injection...

——The complete process flow of Edman alloy...

——Storm Crimson (with a full set of mecha hunter technical information)...

——Transformers Tinder Source (built-in Cybertron Lifeform Database)...

——The first EVA machine (with complete technical drawings of the human completion plan)...

…………

Long lists, fantastic gems, almost overflowing by the end.

Not only did they see the blueprints of a certain technology that they had been waiting for for a long time, but there were also many, many exchange options that they had never thought of before.

It's basically a category of machines, mechas, biotechnology, etc., but it seems to be somewhat subtly detached from this category.

“…”

“…”

For a while of silence, it was very difficult for them to regain their ability to think, and their voices became stagnant: "Senior, this, this... Can we all choose the things above?"

"All right." The magician replied peacefully.

"That... what price do we have to pay?" The leader forced himself to calm down, reminding himself over and over that there was no free lunch in the world, but he still inevitably felt his blood rushing up, and he almost fainted.

Is it really that simple?

As long as you make a choice, you can even consecrate the gods right away?

"This, of course there is a price to pay..." Xia Ran blinked, "But I can provide interest-free loan business here, and isn't there a large team behind you? It's okay for them to help pay off the debt together, of course, it's all voluntary..."

Stepping down to the roots and then returning, he linked the Akashic records and touched infinite knowledge.

And when he has reached such a height, he also has the authority to create everything, and can directly create anything unconditionally... Naturally, he can incarnate into the main **** space and provide unlimited exchange and strengthening services.

It's a pity that it's too late to set up a super-dimensional adventure platform temporarily. After thinking about it, he thinks it's better to pull people directly from the existing platform.

……

……

White space, a long established team area.

The huge space is divided into multiple areas, which looks a bit intricate at first glance. The feeling of future sci-fi and mysterious magic is subtly intertwined.

On the opposite side of the Wizard's Tower is the modern experimental building with a sign. The suspended locomotive runs quietly on the maglev track; the towering tree in the center seems to be the tree of the world, with stretched branches and dense branches and leaves covering everything ;In the weapon testing ground that can be divided, there are huge railguns being tested again and again, and huge power armors are neatly listed...

High-tech machinery, bizarre biochemical reproductive equipment, and the mysterious style of scrolls, talismans and staffs, it seems that all elements can be found in this huge team space.

However, this is also reasonable. With collective efforts and long-term operation, any large team in the corresponding space area is an unimaginable behemoth.

The team space has become a small world to show their heritage under the long-term operation.

This style of painting is actually not surprising at all.

"Recently, the income has been much less. Those nasty guys rushed to buy anything good. Why can't the space control the market..."

In a certain room, a man wearing glasses and a white coat carefully calculated the income and expenditure for this quarter, and couldn't help complaining.

Ding——

At this moment, a crisp prompt sounded, an interface appeared in the air, and the corresponding information was quickly displayed.

"Huh?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then excited. He quickly called out Taring, checked it, and confirmed that the information was correct. Then he looked at the team that sent the call for help, and found that it was a peripheral team that had just joined not long ago.

"Ha, it really is a lucky general, I know... have I finally found a suitable plane of colonization and hunting? Now the financial situation of the club can be improved."

He burst out laughing and issued a series of commands through the local area network in the team space.

The entire large team was quickly brought into combat readiness and functioning efficiently.
