A journey into an infinite dimension

boom! !

A powerful energy wave exploded on the moon. At this moment, there were still 1 hour and 26 minutes before Anti-Entropy and Tianming's group set off.

Chapter 71: Meteorite Falls

"Activate the internal control system and the countdown begins"

"—Return control, ready."

"Guidance and control, ready"

"Flight dynamics control, ready"

"17 seconds left to transfer to internal control"

"15..."

"11..."

"7..."

"3..."

Sitting in the control cabin of Alahatona, which had been transformed from a two-seater to a five-seater cabin, Einstein's communication voice echoed in his ears, and no one spoke.

Theresa held the Oath of Judas and turned to look at the window next to her, but the view outside the window was just pitch black.

She knew it was a matter of course.

Because at this moment, Alahato is in a closed rocket.

This approach can speed up the flight and reduce Alahato's fuel consumption. Most of the more than one hour of preparation time was used to load Alahato into the rocket.

After all, it is such a large robot. Although it cannot be seen from the outside, there are countless weapons installed inside its body. The weight alone is enough to easily crush a person into a meat patty. It is a huge project to send it into the rocket while maintaining silence.

Even Theresa, who had no knowledge of this, could understand this.

Rather, it is true that the doctors of Anti-Entropy were able to achieve this in just over an hour, which really makes one marvel at the technology of Anti-Entropy.

"....emission!"

Along with the command, a slight vibration was heard. Theresa knew that the rocket had taken off, which also meant that they had officially embarked on a journey with an unknown future.

The thrust of the rocket engine developed by Anti-Entropy was extraordinary. At a speed of dozens of times the speed of sound, the rocket carrying Alahato quickly soared to an unknown height of several meters.

"Reaching target altitude, booster engines preparing to disengage...disengagement normal"

"The rocket fairing falls off and the Alahato power engine ignites"

The tremors became more and more intense, but everyone present was not an ordinary person. Faced with this situation, their performance was even better than that of the most genuine astronauts, and no one showed any symptoms of discomfort.

Theresa watched the scenery outside the window change from the empty darkness to the brilliant starry sky, and then a beautiful blue planet came into her sight.

This was the first time she had seen the Earth with her own eyes, or it could be said that it was the first time for most of the people present to see it. After all, normally no one would have nothing better to do than deal with the collapse and instead run to space to admire the Earth.

At the first sight, a throbbing feeling filled Theresa's heart.

Maybe it was excitement, maybe it was touching, or maybe it was fear.

When people see this majestic, beautiful and mysterious planet with their own eyes rather than through photos and videos, they often realize how insignificant they are.

But at the same time as realizing this, a raging fire will involuntarily ignite in your heart.

Perhaps, everyone's reasons are different, but without exception, the root of this fire is the instinct dormant deep within the human soul, including but not limited to the instinct of aggression.

The vibration soon disappeared, and the main screen began to output the scene outside. At the same time, Einstein's voice sounded from the communication channel.

"We have entered Earth's orbit. Wish you... a safe journey."

Clap, clap.

Suddenly, she felt someone patting her shoulder. She turned around and saw Cecilia wearing a special combat uniform and her usual smile on her face.

"Theresa, are you feeling melancholy?"

At this moment, perhaps healed by her smile, the subtle emotions in Theresa's heart returned to calmness.

"Nothing, just a bit of a shock."

Smiling and shaking her head, Theresa turned to look at the blue planet outside the window again and smiled slightly.

"The planet where we were born is truly beautiful. This is the first time I've seen something so beautiful, so I was captivated by it."

"Yes, it's beautiful."

Cecilia smiled and nodded, and looked at the scenery outside the window with Theresa, her eyes gradually becoming blurred.

"I don't know which direction our home is."

"Even with our eyesight enhanced by Honkai energy, we can't see it."

Siegfried, who was sitting in the front seat, turned around and said without any interest.

Then Cecilia slapped him on the back of the head.

"I really don't know how Cecilia fell in love with a grasshopper like you with no emotional intelligence."

Theresa glanced contemptuously at Siegfried, who was holding his head and grinning, and her words made Fu Hua and Walter Yang nod their heads continuously.

This is simply a typical case of "a flower stuck in cow dung".

"Well, don't say that, dear, you're really handsome when you're fighting."

Covering her mouth with her hands and smiling softly, Cecilia said as Siegfried looked at her with emotion.

"Only occasionally."

"Goooo!"

The finishing blow and critical hit from his wife caused Siegfried to slam his head against the nearby bulkhead, unable to get up again.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Thanks to this little interaction, the atmosphere in the control cabin quietly became much more relaxed, and the expressions of the five people also relaxed to varying degrees.

In this atmosphere, everyone started chatting about their own interesting stories and past, not for any reason, but just to relieve the boredom of the journey a little bit - and temporarily forget the pressure brought by the unknown future.

......It should have been like this, but the scene happening before their eyes interrupted their thoughts.

meteor.

There were six of them, and judging from their trajectories, they should have been meteors from the moon, or meteorites that quietly passed by Arahato. The impact they carried caused the entire Arahato mecha to shake constantly, and the inside was shaking even more violently. Fortunately, Fu Hua and Walter Yang reacted quickly. The former immediately pushed Siegfried away and grasped the control stick in front, while the latter began to operate the various instruments and equipment in front of them. The two did not communicate, but their division of labor was very clear and tacit.

Soon, Arahato, which was pushed off its original orbit by the meteorite, returned to its orbit, avoiding the increased fuel consumption due to the deviation of the route, and eventually avoiding the fate of becoming a space junk due to insufficient power to move forward.

But at this moment, the five people in the control cabin did not feel any joy or relief at all. Instead, they gathered in front of the window on one side and watched the six meteorites fall in different locations on the earth.

Visible shock waves spread across the surface of the Earth. They could all imagine how many people would die and their families would be destroyed by the impact of these six meteorites.

"Damn it!"

Siegfried pounded the bulkhead hard, and a growl like a wounded beast burst out of his throat, mixed with tremendous rage.

It is impossible for a meteorite to fall without warning, but they had not received any relevant news before. Especially when the source of the meteorite is the moon, once this feature is added, anyone who knows the situation will be able to find out the cause in an instant.

"It's the power of the Second Herrscher. The worst thing has happened."

While adjusting the main screen to receive the outside world, Walter Yang said solemnly.

"She could have dropped meteorites long ago, but never did. I suspect it's because both Herrschers retain a trace of conscience. But now it seems they're simply waiting for those of us with the ability to resist to leave Earth. This round of meteorites is just the beginning."

Just as the words fell, twelve flames appeared on the screen, and this time, even Alahato was enveloped in the falling trajectory.

“I’ll go out and stop it!”

Siegfried and Walter Young spoke at the same time.

Then the two of them looked at each other without paying attention to the reactions of the other three.

"You can't. You have no fighting power at all in a space suit, and you don't have the ability to stop the meteorite."

Walter Yang said calmly and cruelly.

"I......"

Siegfried wanted to say that he had the ability, but when he thought of the price of doing so, he could only open his mouth but could not make any sound.

"Among us, I am the only one who is not affected by the vacuum environment, and I also have the ability to shatter all meteorites. So, Ms. Fu Hua, please control Alahato and try to avoid the meteorite fragments."

"give it to me."

Knowing the determination of the person in front of her, Fu Hua did not say anything to stop him, but nodded solemnly.

At this time, any words of dissuasion would be a stain on his consciousness.

Looking at Walter Yang's back as he left the control cabin, the remaining four people remained silent for a long time.

Just as Walter Yang said, none of them had the ability to stop the meteorite, whether it was Theresa's "Oath of Judas", Cecilia's "Black Abyss White Flower", or Fu Hua's "Feather Dust".

The Oath of Judah is a bond of restraint. It has the ability to invalidate Honkai energy and weaken other forms of energy to varying degrees. It is a natural enemy against beings with Honkai energy, but it has no effect on "ordinary things" such as meteorites.

The Black Abyss and White Flower are the keys to creation. Divided into two parts, the 'Black Abyss' and the 'White Flower', they possess the ability to decompose and create respectively. The White Flower's ability to create can only work on living things, and it is the ability to repair damage; while the Black Abyss's ability to decompose can automatically deconstruct all targets from the inside out, but the prerequisite is that they must be stabbed.

However, the kinetic energy contained in the surface of the meteorite is not something to be underestimated. Moreover, even if one can get close to it, the Black Abyss is only so big. Facing these meteorites, the smallest of which is tens of meters in size, is basically like poking a giant with a toothpick, and it is a one-on-twelve situation.

Feather Dust is the key to consciousness, capable of manipulating brain signals and causing anyone who sees the feather to fall into the illusion created by the holder of the Feather Dust, however, meteorites have no brains.

Siegfried said that the Heavenly Fire Judgment, the Key of Destruction, he possessed would have the power to shatter meteorites. By utilizing its 'Zeroth Rated Power', he could unleash the full power of his Herrscher core and unleash a full-strength attack comparable to that of a Herrscher.

The power is enough to instantly vaporize an emperor-level Honkai beast, but the user will also be covered in the range of the attack, and the outcome is obvious.

Moreover, being able to smash meteorites is one thing, but being able to smash "all" meteorites is another. In addition, these meteorites that require one's desperate efforts to smash are simply a few stones thrown by the opponent. There is no point in smashing only a few of them. This is why Siegfried hesitated.

Chapter 72 Walter in the Sky: FFF

Still... too weak.

Siegfried sat dejectedly in his seat, his hands clenched tightly involuntarily.

The Second and Third Herrschers could continue to drop more meteorites at any time. Therefore, facing 12+ meteorites in space alone, even the First Herrscher would not necessarily be able to escape unscathed. In the worst case, he would be trapped here forever.

If I could be stronger——

Siegfried couldn't help but think.

If he could fully control the power of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, then at least he could fight alongside Walter Young, instead of staying here helplessly and watching his companions fight alone like he is now.

Just when his mind was filled with complicated thoughts, a warm and soft touch came quietly from his tightly clenched right hand, and at the same time, the gentle words of his beloved rang in his ears.

"My dear, if you want to fight too, I can help you."

Siegfried raised his head, and his wife's gentle and peaceful smile met his eyes, her blue eyes still showing support for him as always.

If you think it is the right thing to do, then do it. If you can't do it alone, then I will do it with you.

Although it was not spoken, Siegfried could know what his lover was thinking.

Because they have always supported each other in this way.

"As long as I use the White Flower's creative power, I can save you, my dear, before you are devoured by the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire. However, the pain in the process is unavoidable."

Smiling, Cecilia said softly.

"It's okay. If I can't even bear this little pain, what kind of man am I?"

Originally, Siegfried should have given a thumbs-up, grinned, and said this, then set out to the battlefield outside with Cecilia, but——

"..."

At this moment, he could only remain silent.

He knew that the Black Abyss White Flower's ability could indeed pull him back from the brink of death after releasing the Holy Judgment of Skyfire. At the same time, he also knew that the characteristic of the Black Abyss White Flower was that the more serious the injury, the more Honkai energy and physical strength the user needed to consume. Even though he had not experienced the injuries caused by releasing the Holy Judgment of Skyfire, he could infer from the fate of every successive head of the Kaslana family who had used this ability that it was absolutely fatal, and the kind that was fatal in an instant - after all, the human body was not as good as the Emperor-level Honkai beast, even with the special physique of the Kaslana family.

Therefore, with Cecilia's physical strength, it is still a question how many times she can repair such fatal injuries. What's more, the power of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire is difficult to control, and Cecilia may also be affected and injured. In addition, even if it is assumed that one liberation can destroy three meteorites, there are twelve in number. Even after sharing it with Walter Yang, there are still six. A total of two liberations are needed, which will increase the energy and consumption of both of them exponentially.

As mentioned before, the two Herrschers can continue to drop more meteorites at any time, and the only outcome will be that they will be exhausted to death.

Even if Alahato could successfully land on the moon by then, how would the only remaining Fu Hua and Theresa fight against two Herrschers plus a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, or even the large number of Honkai Beasts that might exist?

So no matter from which perspective, now is not the time for Siegfried to act like a hero just for his own selfish reasons.

"Honey......"

As Siegfried fell silent, Cecilia also fell silent.
