Light Fortress-Chapter 1576 - 265: Bloodstained Feast

Alf pushed open the second bronze door.

The snowfield faded away, the scene simulation dissipated, revealing the true interior of the massive vessel.

"This is the gravity training room, this is the starship deck, and this is the meditation room."

As Alf passed by, the ice and snow melted away, revealing the true face of the Initial Vessel, which was obstructed by air walls.

However, Gu Shen preferred to call it the Ice Sea Ruins.

Along the way, he observed the traces left by this "ancient civilization" six hundred years ago... Although the exact age is unknown, it can be confirmed that this Initial Vessel has been dormant under the Ice Sea for longer than the history of the Five Continents.

There are many life pods storing bamboo armor robots.

There are countless backup robots here.

Gu Shen was quite nervous, if all these robots were to awaken, it would be a terrifying disaster.

"Don’t worry."

Alf seemed to be able to penetrate the human heart, controlling the entire Initial Vessel, constantly monitoring every corner of this place, even the subtle changes in Gu Shen’s expression were within his awareness.

"Not all these robots are ’combat types’, and besides, with your abilities, exterminating them all is not impossible... right?"

Alf looked back meaningfully.

Gu Shen fell into a brief silence, in fact, he did not know why Alf would give him such a high evaluation.

After the awakening of the Ice Sea.

His strength indeed increased greatly.

With the support of two Great Achievement Domains, he had already joined the ranks of titled strong warriors.

However, if all the robots in these [Ice Sea Ruins] were to awaken, it would be truly difficult for him to eliminate them all...

Perhaps these robots have fatal weaknesses.

In Alf’s simulation calculations, would he find weaknesses in such combat situations?

Gu Shen stopped pondering further.

He asked, "So all these years, was the Initial Vessel just you alone?"

Alf calmly replied, "I’m glad you’re willing to see me as ’human’, but from any angle... I can’t be considered human, I’m just a strand of spirit, or perhaps a program."

Gu Shen had already realized this.

Alf’s existence... was somewhat similar to Chu Ling. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This was just a fragment of thought sealed deep within the Ice Sea, possessing clear self-awareness, able to converse with humans without barriers.

However, there is no life.

Gu Shen asked again, "I mean, all these years... has the Initial Vessel had no one else?"

"..."

Facing this question, Alfred chose silence.

"What about the master of the Initial Vessel?"

"Where are the people who built this starship and other lives?"

"Why do you know the etiquette of ’Changye’?"

No matter how Gu Shen asked, Alf no longer answered.

He just walked slowly in the front.

Finally, he led Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman to a grand bronze hall.

"Here is the end of the starship; in six hundred years, you are the only ’foreigners’ to have come here. If you want to know the answers to those questions, just push open the door."

"The answers are all behind the door."

The bamboo armor man bowed.

After saying this, the red light in his eyes dissipated, and the robot’s posture changed from supple to rigid, as if the soul was instantly extracted and removed.

Gu Shen knew that this was Alf withdrawing his spirit.

He held his breath and placed one hand on the gigantic door of the bronze hall.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by a rumbling thunder, the gigantic door of the bronze hall slowly opened.

...

...

"Lord Osmond, we’re about to reach the [Ice Sea Ruins], the fleets of Light City and the Source Tower still refuse to communicate."

"Refuse to communicate? Then don’t communicate! What’s there to say to these idiots!"

The Source Energy Boat Fleet of Central City was gliding over the Ice Sea.

Eye of the Third Army, Osmond, sat in the main control room of Central City’s fleet, lounged casually before the central screen, his spiritual power spreading out, establishing solid connections between all thirty-five source energy boats and the main ship. This was an unprecedented grand expedition in human history.

Five Continents! A total of seventy-one source energy boats, sailed out from the Northwest Frontier and Upper City ports, crossing the inner sea, passing the Holy City, and reaching the skies above the Ice Sea!

Mighty and majestic.

However, it’s worth mentioning...

After the World Conference, the Storm Church’s source energy boat quota didn’t expand at all, this seemingly pessimistic conference result had no significant impact on the Holy City.

Because they ultimately sent only one source energy boat, an old product from the Scarlet War period.

The commander stationed on this source energy boat was an obscure archbishop from the Holy City seats, named Anila.

This move by the Storm Church, although unexpected by many, was not unreasonable.

In such a large-scale southern "plunder" operation.

Sending ten source energy boats or one source energy boat, effectively made no difference.

Light City and Source Tower had already formed an alliance, and Central City and Changye had completed their merger... they were the true plunderers.

On the other hand, the Storm Church, being the weakest party, could only be plundered.

The most they could do was take advantage of the benefits brought by preemptive occupation.

With seventy-one source energy boats, clear faction divisions existed, and the situation between the two alliances was increasingly hostile. This [Ice Sea Ruins] exploration was even more tense, and the peace at the World Conference was merely a facade... once they left the jurisdiction of Five Continents law, the two sides completely severed communication.
