Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 864: Failed Embryo, "Apostle" above the ocean.

The research vessel silently adjusted the posture of its propulsion engine. Circles of blue and white ion ripples spread out at the tail, dragging soft light tracks like wings, gradually entering a sinking posture from a stable orbit.

Xia Xiu stood in front of the holographic projection of the main control cabin, staring at the planet in front of him.

He raised his hand slightly.

"Entering penetration mode, low pressure down track."

he ordered.

[Executing——Entering the rarefied atmosphere]

When the thrusters emitted the last blue-white tail flame, the research ship slowly landed at the edge of the atmosphere of the gray-blue planet, and the hull slid into the clouds like a silver osprey.

The clouds were thick and milky white in color, as if they were not water vapor but some kind of high-density gas mixed with ether dust.

The entire planet is like a silent egg, hanging alone in the depths of the starry sky. It is silent and still, yet reveals a strange rhythm of life.

At this moment, in the cockpit, the [Genealogy] interface in front of Xia Xiu quietly unfolded, countless cursors jumped automatically, and the shell scanner and deep scanning probe were fired at the same time, starting to analyze the structure of the planet.

At this moment, in the cockpit, the [Genealogy] interface in front of Xia Xiu quietly unfolded, countless cursors jumped automatically, and the shell scanner and deep scanning probe were fired at the same time, starting to analyze the structure of the planet.

"Begin the data analysis for the lowering orbit." Xia Xiu said calmly.

【Access successful——】

[Gravity parameters are being tested...]

[Astral body type: etheric projection/quasi-entity]

[Crust depth: 11km (there is fluctuation, weak stability)]

[Atmospheric density: 1.12kg/m/Main components: Hydrogen and oxygen complex, trace ammonia, inert gas]

Xia Xiu stood in front of the porthole on the side of the cockpit, looking out through the smart porthole. It was the first time he truly gazed at the entire picture of the planet with his naked eyes.

This asteroid-sized planet silently floats in the deep projection of the star world - it is not as clear and powerful as a planet in the conventional sense, but like a translucent dream, reflecting a strange light in the dark blue sea of ​​stars.

The entire surface of the planet has an almost "wet" luster, as if it were wrapped in a layer of water vapor that never evaporates.

Thick clouds hover over the polar circle, with colors intertwined between deep blue and gray-purple, rotating in an extremely slow but continuous manner.

The whole planet seems to be breathing like some kind of living being.

During the descent, as the clouds thinned, the view began to become clear.

This is a planet ruled by oceans.

There are no continents, no cities, no mountains or rivers.

There is only an endless sea.

The entire planet is like a liquid sapphire, floating on the mirror of deep space.

The water surface was affected by the energy of the astral world, showing unstable electromagnetic reflections. Sometimes it was azure, sometimes it was crimson purple, and occasionally there was even a flash of golden ripples emerging from the depths of the water, as if some huge entity was turning over underwater.

There is often a veil-like auroral fog band floating above the ocean. These auroras do not come from stellar radiation, but are consciousness fluctuations released by the planet itself, which interfere with the astral etheric layer and form strange visual disturbances.

As the research ship penetrated the atmosphere and approached the sea surface, Xia Xiu clearly saw the true horror of this planet:
It has no wind, but it has tides.

It has no life, yet it is always flowing.

The research vessel hovered steadily above the ocean planet, and several gravity chains were deployed under the belly of the ship, fixing the entire ship firmly above this "Dead Sea" that seemed to never surge.

Xia Xiu stood at the cabin door, his eyes piercing through the void as he looked at the boundless, mirror-like calm deep blue ocean beneath his feet. Strange lights that flickered on and off floated on the water like wandering ghosts, and a damp and decayed smell surged up with the wind.

He raised his hand and flicked his fingertips.

"Come out."

The words have not yet fallen.

hum-

[Black Seal], like a pupil born from the void, slowly rose and hovered above his fingertips.

At the same time, an ancient parchment covered with unknown runes and bloodstains crawled out from the void. It seemed to have crawled into the world from some unspeakable abyss. It slowly rotated around the black seal, and the air was compressed tightly.

This is the Sarkic Spectrum that has not appeared for a long time.

But unlike in the past, this time the appearance of Sarkic flesh looks a bit "crazy".

It was dripping with blood and emitting a foul stench, floating next to the [Black Seal] like a token of sacrifice.

And at the moment this parchment appeared——

[Fragments of the Six Sarkic Archons detected——]

[The Fourth Archon, Elios——]

[Starting to connect to the temporary channel... failed. ]

[Sea of ​​Completion: Failure]

[Throne of the Witch King: No Response]

Xia Xiu felt a burning sensation in his right hand. He frowned and raised his right hand.

The [Mark of Ion] is spinning.

【………………】

The next moment, the bloody words on the ancient parchment began to "come alive"!

Lines of blood-written words twist on the paper like worms, tearing the original runes and making noises that tear reality apart, as if they can't wait to crawl from the paper into your mind, whispering, gnawing, and tempting repeatedly.

That's the Sarkic lineage going mad.

"I knew there was something wrong with the so-called perfect embryo of the Four Monarchs."

Xia Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

If the words of the Four Sovereigns could be believed, even sows could climb trees.

Of course, he was not naive enough to think that as soon as he arrived, the perfect embryo would obediently go back with him.

Although the four monarchs boasted very nicely, saying that they had fifty perfect embryos.

But they themselves cannot guarantee how many of these fifty embryos are... "normal".

Moreover, Xia Xiu now has a little understanding of the meaning of the perfect embryo mentioned by the Four Sovereigns as a "miracle carrier".

These four bastards!!
They must have found the fragment of the Sixth Archon of the Sarkic Lineage.

The so-called perfect embryo is probably a modified version of the related fragments of the Six Commanders.

The Six Archons are the key to completing the Sarkic lineage.

Based on the instinct to complete the lineage, the think tank of the Sarkic lineage [Yaldabaoth] will definitely go crazy.

【warn!warn!warn! 】

[The Sarkic Spectrum is trying to temporarily connect to the personal terminal! ]

【Information stability failed! 】

[Forcibly connecting to the individual thinking core——]

The insane Sarkic lineage even tried to control Xia Xiu's body.

Faced with the crazy genealogical instinct, he could only summon the [Triple Crown] and suppress it with the status of the [Crown]!
[Connection failed——]

[Think Tank Yadabaoth is online...]

The second boss makes a long-awaited appearance!
However, the second boss was a little irrational this time and was quite "dissatisfied" with Xia Xiu, an excellent employee.

The familiar mechanical broadcasting voice did not appear. Instead, a low, hoarse whisper like a drowned person in the deep sea sounded in Xia Xiu's ears, like a tongue licking the cochlea:

[Eat it————eat it————]

【Eat him...】

[Fragment of the Fourth Archon... make him a part of yourself...! ]

The entire ship vibrated slightly.

The Sarkic genealogy that turned into blood-stained paper overwhelmed the ship's logical system. A series of crazy data jumped on the console and exploded like an electronic booby trap.

Outside the hatch, ripples began to appear on the sea surface. A strange "call" rose from the bottom of the sea.

【Please start the Sarkic Completion Project——】

Bloody words appeared on the genealogy, urging his employees to act quickly.

hurry up……

Eat it!!!
Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes and slowly raised his head, looking at the only interface between the vast sky and the dead ocean. His pupils glowed with golden light, and three halos like white jade were spinning behind him.

The sea was shaking.

No, it is the "consciousness" of the entire ocean planet that is vibrating.

After the connection between the [Black Seal] and the Sarkic Spectrum was completed and the whisper of [Yaldabaoth] landed, a crack suddenly appeared on the silent sea surface without any warning.

"Boom--!"

A low, heartbeat-like vibration came from the bottom of the sea.

Then, the sea began to surge with wind and clouds, as if some huge creature had awakened from the depths of the sea.

boom--!
The violent shock wave swept across the entire boundary between the sea and the sky. At that moment, the dead water in the star realm boiled like a living thing!

Under Xia Xiu's gaze, the silent deep sea suddenly formed a vortex with a diameter of several thousand meters!
The center of the vortex seemed to be connected to a deeper "sea of ​​completion"——

An arm covered in rotten water and wrapped in a mixed structure of flesh, blood and metal broke through the waves from the bottom of the sea and tightly clung to the edge of the whirlpool.

Boom!

It was a huge creature that was not of human scale, slowly rising from the bottom of the sea.

Its body was covered in thick dark grey skin, and every inch of its texture was like the remnant shell of a divine fetus that had been abandoned by the gods and had slept on the seafloor for tens of millions of years. The skin was slightly agitated with moisture, with the moisture of a newborn, but also with a chilling sense of vicissitudes and oppression.

——It is "alive", but it also seems like it "should have died long ago".

It stood up.

Two twisted leg bones stepped straight into the wreckage of the planet's structure, the knees bent in the opposite direction, the soles of the feet cracked into the shape of deer hooves, and every step caused cracks to appear on the coastline.

"Kakaka..."

Its arm seemed to have the structure of some ancient war machine, with white bones covering it, like armor or an unfinished biological weapon. And between each joint and vein, there was a faint blue light that kept beating, as if the remaining instructions left over from the civilized era were still struggling in its body.

What really makes people unable to look away is that "face"——

That's not a complete face.

Instead, it was a skull mask that could never be closed, firmly embedded in its bionic flesh and blood, like a prison nailed into the soul.

There were no pupils in its eye sockets, only two balls of blue-white light burning with biological nerve pulses.

And at this moment, it slowly raised its head——

Facing Xia Xiu.

"..."

It seemed to be identifying, as if waiting.

The next moment, the skull mask suddenly opened - and let out a roar that completely tore apart the soul!

"ah----!!!"

Miserable, painful, crazy...that was the sound of backlash when some ancient will was forcibly dragged into reality.

But in the Crown's decoding logic system, this sound wave was accurately translated.

--【Father……】

"H-I don't remember ever having a child this big."

At the cabin door, Xia Xiu stretched out his hand and rubbed his fluffy blond hair, saying in distress.

The light behind him, at this moment, quietly collapsed the boundaries of reality.

boom!
Three halos as white as mutton-fat jade instantly unfolded behind him, and as they spun, they exuded a holiness and oppression that could not be described in words.

They are no longer entities.

They are the orbits of time, the coordinates of divinity, and the axis of meaning of all things.

Immediately, instructions appeared under his feet like feathers:

——『Universal Vector Authority──』

——『Particle reflection and vacuum creation (free space)!』

——『Heart Engine·Full Power Mode——』

——『Fantasy particles·Vacuum zero-point energy!』

[[Myth Factor] Full Frequency Mode·Activate——]

[Metatron: Third Form Release (Total Annihilation Form)——]

——[Judgment of Ten Thousand Armies].

The angel of the end, and this moment...

Come.

Buzz————!
The sky began to crack.

No, it was as if the entire void collapsed inward for a moment.

On the torn ceiling, an indescribable huge figure was cast.

An angel that transcended the scale of life slowly looked down from the sky, and His figure illuminated the clouds and sea surface of the entire planet.

Its body is woven of starlight, shining like gold, as if thousands of civilizations have been turned into yarn and sewn stitch by stitch in the hands of God.

The most terrifying thing was the thirty-six wings behind it spread out in the air, covering the entire sky like the announcement of the Book of Revelation.

These are not wings.

This is a sky curtain.

Among the thirty-six wings that were lined up like a forest and blazed with light, three hundred and sixty-five thousand eyes appeared!
They are either closed or open, and every time they open, it is like a galaxy coming into being out of nothing.

Every time it closes, a world sinks into the River Styx forgotten by the gods.

These eyes are more than just organs of vision.

They are the medium by which truth is observed; the law by which sin is judged.

hum!
It has thirty-six wings on its back, three hundred and sixty-five thousand eyes, and its face is like the sun.

The next moment, he stared at the "perfect embryo" that was slowly rising from the sea.

——The [Father’s] gaze fell on the [Child].

Boom!

Thirty-six wings began to flap!
That was not the vibration of the air, but the resonance of the entire ocean planet itself!
Thunder rose from the sea horizon, and lightning intertwined like a punishment from heaven, pouring down towards the earth!

At this moment, divinity completely covered the earth.

All things, living things, waves, storms, gravity, all began to kneel down before the angelic form.

The terrifying sun was staring at the creature wriggling and struggling in the sea, listening to it shouting at the top of its lungs... "Father".

The voice was desolate, painful, yet mixed with...

——An ecstatic sense of belonging.

At this moment, the light of the Judgment of Ten Thousand Armies has illuminated everything.

And the first judgment of the sun is about to fall.

Two terrifying monsters unfold here——

The war between sea and sky!
