Chapter 134 What?
Chapter 134 What?
Daedalus, the previous angel of Synapses, has a high level of technology, even reaching the limits of technology in some areas. Her dream technology allows people to experience life in different identities, which is incredible. Facing such technological power, direct confrontation is not feasible. Fortunately, Lu Chen also has an omnipotent little god - the Origin Spirit.
In the realm of Samsara Paradise, Mio is the master and can change the rules of the neighboring realm at will. Therefore, Mio easily separated Daedalus's consciousness from Jianyue Chuyuan's body and tracked her location. As a result, Daedalus woke up in chaos, with a chaotic mind and no idea of the situation. She only saw Lu Chen greeting her.
Daedalus was a little panicked. People on the ground shouldn't have known about Synapses' existence. She carefully checked the situation below, and was even more shocked to find that Jianyue Chuyuan was safe and sound, sitting on the swing like a statue, and time seemed to stand still. Jianyue's house and the surrounding area turned black and white, and time and space were locked. Flying birds, falling leaves, and even the swing in the air were suspended in the air. Only Lu Chen and a few girls were moving, and it looked like colorful characters broke into the black and white picture.
Passersby seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality here and turned a blind eye to what happened in the Jianyue family. Because of Mio's obstruction spell, the townspeople could only see a few older sisters playing with Xiao Chuyuan.
"Hi, Daedalus? Are you awake? Did Mio burn your brain when she pushed you out?" Lu Chen waved at her on the screen.
"How can this be possible?" Mio pouted, tugged at Lu Chen's clothes, and complained, "Everything is obviously normal!"
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." Lu Chen touched Mio's head. The girl smiled sweetly. It turns out that a brain in love is really easy to coax.
Daedalus was confused. She put her hands on her head and scratched it, making her long blue hair even more messy. This man not only knew her name, but also knew Synapses! What was even more bizarre was that he knew her incarnation was Jianyue Chuyuan, and he had somehow bounced her back! This was simply unbelievable.
Lu Chen seemed to know more about Synapse than Synapse itself. As for the magic used by the silver-haired girl, she also couldn't understand it. Synapse was a technological civilization and knew nothing about magic. If it was in the heyday of Synapse, perhaps it could still analyze the abilities of the original elves through technology, but now it is just a decadent and fallen empire. Mio is an alien in their eyes.
After thinking for a while, Daedalus asked the three most concerned questions to the screen: "Who are you? What do you want to do? How did you find me?"
"My name is Lu Chen. I come from another world. You can call me an alien." Lu Chen replied with a smile.
"The way to contact you is actually very simple. We are a space civilization and have the corresponding communication equipment. After Mio finds you, it will not be difficult to establish communication." Daedalus' image was clearly visible on the holographic screen in front of him. The four-winged angel looked exhausted.
"As for what I want to do... Daedalus, I have a deal to discuss with you." Lu Chen thought for a moment, then continued, "You should be trapped in a temple in Synapse now, right? If I'm not mistaken, Ikaros is also there with you. You want to put her down one day and rescue her with the help of the Queen of the Sky, right? Just like the human child who used Ikaros to fight back against Synapse, you hope someone can hear your call and save you together with Ikaros, right?"
Because she was familiar with the plot of "Heaven's Lost Property", Lu Chen fully understood Daedalus's motives. She kept appearing in Sakurai Tomoki's dreams, telling him that she was "caught by the sky" in the hope that he and Ikaros would one day gather strength to fight back against Synapses and rescue her. However, Lu Chen appeared too early, and Daedalus had not yet chosen a candidate, nor had he started to send dreams.
“!!!” Daedalus shuddered. She was terrified by how well this human knew her. This was beyond the technical level, he even knew her thoughts!
"You... why do you know all this? What exactly do you want to do?" Daedalus took a deep breath and asked tremblingly.
"I can rescue you." Lu Chen replied concisely, "But in exchange, I need Ikaros and the manufacturing technology of the Universal Angel."
After using information advantage to intimidate the other party and gain an advantageous position, we start negotiating terms.
Daedalus was silent for a while. "I know nothing about you." Lu Chen projected the hyperdimensional star map, pointed to his own position, then pointed to their current position, and briefly explained the concept of the multiverse.
"!!!" She was stunned by these few words. As the greatest scientist in Synapse, her IQ, knowledge and technology far surpassed those corrupt colleagues. It was not difficult to understand what Lu Chen meant. But in the heyday of Synapse, even if they reached the Genesis level, they had never seen the world outside the universe. No matter how omnipotent the wish monument is, it cannot enforce the law across the universe. No matter how much trouble the Synapse people make in this main universe, it is just a trivial matter in a small universe.
Daedalus suddenly felt enlightened. If the Synapsians back then could have discovered that there were countless different worlds outside the universe, history might have changed. They would not have lost hope in life after material satisfaction and self-destructed one after another. Perhaps, like the adventurers of the Age of Exploration, they would have organized expeditions and explorations to other worlds and established a super civilization spanning the universe. But it was too late now. The technology of the Synaps pioneers had been lost, and what was left was just a bunch of trash enjoying themselves under the care of the omnipotent angels.
"Let me remind you first that this is my ability. Even a civilization with more powerful technology than yours cannot penetrate the barrier of the multiverse."
Lu Chen cleared his throat. "Ability? Is it like superpower? If you had met me earlier..."
“If you’re in Synapse, we…”
Daedalus was stunned and muttered to himself.
"It's not too late now." Lu Chen coughed, "As long as you agree to use the Universal Angel Technology in exchange, we can rescue you."
"I can also offer you a job in another world. I value your research ability very much. The salary is generous, and there will be opportunities to travel to other worlds in the future."
Daedalus closed his eyes and pondered for a while. For a scientist, seeing the real scenery of another world is indeed very attractive. Moreover, she is under house arrest now and can't do anything. Someone coming to rescue her is undoubtedly a timely help.
"Sounds like I have no reason to refuse?"
"Then I'll take it as your consent?"
Lu Chen raised his chin. "Yes, but Synapse is always in the sky. Ordinary aircraft cannot get close to here. You..."
Seeing that the five of them had nothing in their hands, Daedalus was filled with worry.
"Do you want me to drop Ikaros? She can bring one person up."
"Don't worry about Fei Tian."
Lu Chen snapped his fingers. "Wait for me at Synapse, get clean and wait for me."
During the creation process, the character's name remained unchanged. As Lu Chen gave the order, Thor instantly turned back to her original form - a huge green dragon.
The starship was too big and too conspicuous, and could easily be spotted by Synapse. The dragon lady's body was more suitable for using invisibility. Thor lowered his head and let Lu Chen and the others climb up.
"Commander, this is your first time riding me." She exhaled hot air with excitement, almost burning the nearby woods.
"That's right." Lu Chen sat steadily on Thor's neck. It felt very novel to ride on such a fantasy creature. He hugged Beifa and Kuang San, while Mio hugged him gently from behind. There was a soft touch from front to back, and a faint fragrance could be smelled in his nose.
"Befa, Commander, don't show your ship equipment when flying, otherwise I will be crushed by you." Thor said in a muffled voice.
"I know - do you think we are stupid?" The head maid tapped the scales on Thor's back.
"Thor Aviation! Take off!" Dragon Lady roared, spread her wings, slowly rose into the air, and flew straight into the sky.
According to Mio's positioning just now, they have roughly determined the direction of Synapse. This floating island usually uses advanced optical camouflage technology to float in the sky not far from Soumei Town, and it is difficult to detect by ordinary radar.
Now that they had established contact with Daedalus, it would not be difficult to locate her. At this moment, they were still communicating with Daedalus.
In Synaps, Daedalus stared at the screen, speechless with amazement. Right before her eyes, a girl transformed from a human into a dragon, and then they flew towards her on the dragon!
For a super-technological civilization, this is not a question of whether it can be done, but that it does not conform to their cognition at all. The advanced people of Synapse may be able to create dragons through genetic technology, and the wishing stone tablet can also generate various dragons. But this blatant transformation is obviously in the field of magic.
Some magic can be reproduced through technology, such as the Type-Moon magic, while others are a completely incomprehensible mixture, such as the ship girls Brie and Dragon Girl in Magic Route.
"Which world of swords and magic are you from?" Daedalus couldn't help but complain.
"Thor is from there, but we are not. We are from three different places." Lu Chen hugged Befa tightly in his arms and answered casually. Befa was obviously not used to this way of flying. She held on to the barbs on Thor's back tightly. Her silver hair fluttered in the wind, making her face itchy.
“Three?!”
“Which three?!” Daedalus found that the more he asked, the more confused he became.
Every answer from this man came with a message that she couldn't understand.
"We'll talk about that later. First, tell me your exact location."
“Oh oh oh——”
Daedalus hurriedly sent Lu Chen the map of Synapses.
Mio put her hands on Thor's back, and her spiritual power swept over gently, and the figures of several people immediately disappeared in the air.
Synapse's technology far surpasses that of humans, but it does not have a 24/7 monitoring system. Perhaps out of arrogance, the Lord of the Sky does not believe that humans are capable of ascending to the sky, and even the almighty angels patrolling the surrounding area are rare.
Not long after, Lu Chen and his companions rode Thor through the clouds, braving the strong winds at high altitudes.
"Commander, there's something ahead." Thor whispered.
All the naked eye could see was the endless sea of clouds, the blue sky, and the sun in the distance. There was nothing wrong with the radar equipment, and the observation equipment could not detect any problems. But Lu Chen discovered that the readings of the gravitational waves had changed, and the space ahead was distorted. Something was hidden there.
"It's a very advanced concealment method." He looked down at his feet. In fact, he was not far from Kongmei Town. When he just landed, Dabo did not scan Synaps.
As they were flying, suddenly, after passing through a barrier, a huge floating island appeared before their eyes.
In the center of the island is a large main island surrounded by several small islands. The total area is estimated to be about 50 to 60 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of France. The layout of the island is very open, and the overall architectural style is similar to ancient Greece, with temples, squares and other scattered buildings.
Lu Chen noticed that there stood a tall black stone tablet in the center of the main island, and not far away was a huge temple-like building.
"Is that the wishing stone?"
He couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was rumored that this stone tablet could fulfill any wish, even create the universe.
It is the pinnacle of Synapse technology, but also the source of the decline of Synapse civilization.
"If you just want gold, jewels or magic power, Lukoa, Mio and I can do it." Thor said in a deep voice.
"But creating the world is going too far..."
"I think it's different from what you imagined." Lu Chen looked at the stone tablet and shook his head.
If the wishing stone tablet could really fulfill all wishes unconditionally, how could Synapse be so decadent? And how could the Lord of the Sky become mentally twisted in the long loneliness?
They could have wished to restore Synapse to its former glory and rule the world as a super civilization. With the wisdom of the Synapse people, it might not be that they were unwilling to do it, but that they could not do it.
There were few people on the floating island, and Lu Chen did not see any Synaps. Most of them were trapped in the dream device created by Daedalus, indulging in experiencing human life. Only a few almighty angels with white wings and tights were patrolling around, and they did not notice the invisible Thor.
Following the map provided by Daedalus, Thor bypassed the main island and landed on a remote small floating island.
"Thor Aviation, smooth landing, hehe!"
The dragon lady turned back into human form and acted cute to Lu Chen. Lu Chen patted her head lovingly and looked around.
The floating island was empty except for a temple-like building. After taking a few steps, Thor bumped into a translucent barrier with a click, causing ripples.
“What the hell?!”
Dragon Lady sat on the ground rubbing her head. At a glance, the entire small floating island was covered by a faint barrier.
“I’m trapped here, no one can come in, no one can go out.”
