I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 937: The Barrier of Heaven

Inside a control room of a tower above the wreckage,
A masquerade is going on:
The 'members' wearing white masks each remain mysterious and calm.

however,
When a member suddenly felt that he had completely lost contact with the [Projection Ruins], including Lesionton located in [Border: Wall of Hercules], in the supernova explosion that just happened,

An atmosphere of uneasiness quickly spread.

A man hiding uncontrollable anxiety under his mask finally couldn't hold back his inner emotions.

He recalled the shocking scene of the supernova explosion:
In the wreckage that was briefly illuminated by a bright light.

They witnessed the destruction and rebirth of stars, but also witnessed the fragility of countless precision instruments under the impact of extreme energy.
And the helplessness of seeing the defense systems that were supposed to be as solid as a rock collapse in an instant.

Those scenes were deeply engraved in his mind like a brand, causing him to have unprecedented doubts about everything before his eyes.

then,

He even said angrily:

“Everything has completely gotten out of control!
I confess that by now I was quite uncertain as to what old Constance was trying to accomplish by means of this Wall of Hercules.

We must activate the [Ultimate Weapon] immediately!"

Hearing this proposal,

Siming's usually calm female voice also had a rare hint of sarcasm:

"Marcel, wake up.

[The Ultimate Weapon] has not yet been fully debugged, and its performance and stability are still unknown.

What's more, that was a mass-produced means we prepared to fight against the Lord of the Abyss. If we use it hastily now,
Are you sure this is a wise move?"

at the same time,

Another voice followed.

That was a more stable man, who tried to calm down the sudden dispute:
“Calm down.

No matter how critical the situation is, we still have options.

Although the main systems of the Silver Mechanical Ring, including all control modules, had been destroyed by the supernova explosion,
But the border gate remains stable.
We can still use it to return to the real world.

Reassess the situation and find a more reasonable response strategy. We cannot take such aggressive measures, otherwise we may lose more. "

just,

When I heard him say this,
Marcel took a deep breath.

He scanned the eyes of each of his companions hidden behind their pale masks, and knew that he had to convey the urgency of the current situation with an unquestionable firmness:
“Dear allies,
I understand your worries and anxieties, but we must be clear-headed and realize that time is more precious to us than any other resource.

The supernova explosion not only destroyed the core system of the Silver Mechanical Ring, but also likely caused a chain reaction in the surrounding star fields.

Those galaxies that we once viewed as buffer zones,

Now it may be rapidly becoming the wrong bridgehead for a sudden change in the rhythm of civilization.
not to mention,
The data of Lord Hades has also been completely cleared.

Due to the absolute data blockade by Constance and [Zhongmen-Alexios], we still know very little about what happened during the Kuroshio crisis in Manila, Philippines.

Even now, the communication system is completely paralyzed, and information delays and interference are becoming increasingly serious, which means that our contact with the outside world may be cut off at any time."

He paused.
Let these words sink into everyone's mind and ensure that everyone fully understands the severity of the situation.

“As for the Ultimate Weapon v6 Epsilon Distortion Destroyer.

...I admit,

That's an option we never thought to enable easily.

It represents a last resort and carries enormous risks.

But we must face reality. If we do not make a decision here and now, it may be too late for us to activate it when the destructive factors of the Third Age or even the Fourth Age completely block all escape routes.

[The Great Library] is too gentle in its attitude towards the crisis.

We can no longer allow those fools who hold the wait-and-see theory to drag the Fifth Era into the abyss.

For this reason, whether it is the [Eternal Dawn] or [Twilight Constellation] that revived the Third Age,

Even on this basis, the starry sea wonders of some ruins are completely reproduced,

This is a [ritual] that must be performed.”

Marcel's tone revealed an unquestionable determination. He began to analyze everyone's doubts one by one, using data and logic to break them down one by one.

Even at the end,
He only said one sentence:

"If there is any problem with the ultimate weapon, I am willing to be the next test subject!"

And when he saw his determination, Siming finally said nothing more.

The members of the Masquerade do not have such deep connections with each other.

Therefore,
The only thing that could bring them together was

Only [faith].

If he said that he was willing to be the next experimental subject, then others would have no reason to stop him.

In a solemn atmosphere,

All the white masks slowly lowered their heads.

Marcel was the only one left on the empty tower. He walked to the top and pressed the huge red button firmly and decisively.
instantly,

The entire depths of the Wall of Hercules seemed to be shaken by an invisible force.

Near Su Wen's huge deep blue energy well, the underground shelter that was originally as silent as a stone began to experience an unprecedented turmoil:
The wall was no longer a solid shelter, but turned into a small boat in the rough sea, accompanied by a low and powerful roar.

They begin to tremble!
distortion!

It seemed as if every inch of brick and stone was telling of the impending disaster.

Inside the shelter, the originally intricate network of steel pipes and the roar of steam engines were suddenly joined by countless discordant vibrations.

Many huge steel beams supporting the ceiling and the ground began to swing slowly and powerfully, as if they were gently moved by an invisible hand.

The lights in the shelter began to flicker, and the pressure in the steam pipes suddenly increased, making a sharp whistling sound, as if protesting against this sudden intrusion.

The refugees were terrified.
They were originally huddled on their narrow beds or busy in the simple kitchen, but now they were running around like frightened birds.

The old men stumbled forward with their canes;
Children cried out for their parents;

The young mother hugged her baby tightly, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

In the corridors of the shelter, people pushed and shoved each other, trying to find a safer place to hide, but every vibration seemed to mock their futility.

The little girl whose pollution from the abyss had just been suppressed by Su Wen, was struggling to walk out of a narrow tunnel with her transformed father.

Her face was covered in sweat and dirt, and her eyes were shining with a mixture of determination and despair.

just,

She had almost completely exhausted her vitality in pursuit of revenge.

So at this moment, facing this sudden disaster, her body finally couldn't bear the burden, and with a faint "thump",
The little girl fell to the ground helplessly.
But she still held her father's clothes tightly with both hands, unwilling to let go.

Endless falling rocks were about to hit her, and she knew that she would eventually die like this.

But at this moment of despair!

A warm voice suddenly sounded in her ears:

"Don't worry, I'm still here."

That was Su Wen’s promise!
In an instant, an endless pale golden barrier appeared above her sky!
It seems like,

The ramparts of heaven.
