“It’s just a bit over a day till the occasion is over. What ought to we do now?” Princess Leah requested in slight annoyance.

As a matter of reality, it was not simply heralmost each first-rate Participant who managed to get inside Metal Earth have been left in a troubling limbo.

Certainly, they have been caught.

After Edward’s celebration had destroyed Iron Commandment, the Boss of the fourth stratum, the teapot automatons reverted to impartial models (with Xi Wei taking management of the stratum). The truth is, when Gamers entered chosen buildings, they might follow providing their companies, making the fourth stratum a spot to relaxation for the Gamers as nicely.

However that was additionally the rationale why the Gamers misplaced the clue to proceed into the fifth stratum.

At first, there have been Gamers who had advised that the clue should be hidden someplace within the metropolis and subsequently strolled randomly round, however even they have been turning into determined now that issues had come to this.

Within the cross-shaped constructing on the heart of the fourth stratum, Edward’s celebration was buying and selling appears with different prime Gamers contained in the room of heavy-metal fairytales.

They supposed to debate any clues or details about Everlasting Archives—the fifth archive.

Nevertheless, with everybody current showing to haven’t any intention of talking out, it appeared that none of them is aware of what to do now.

“We shouldn’t have destroyed Iron Commandment identical to that again then…” Edward couldn’t assist sighing feebly, feeling considerably regretful.

Nonetheless, there was an opportunity that Iron Commandment knew nothing concerning the Everlasting Archives, to not point out that it clearly caught some critical bug to the purpose that it couldn’t talk. However as ordinary with folks and their mindset that prefers all kinds of flukes, they might solely ever favor the highway not taken, therefore believing that ‘it could have been so a lot better if I did that as a substitute of what I did.’

“It’s ineffective to say that now, and everybody had agreed to destroy Iron Commandment anyway.” Princess Leah promptly stood out to easy issues out because the air within the room turned miserable. “As a substitute of regretting, let’s strive our greatest to suppose whether or not we’ve missed some tiny element all the best way from the Faint Crystal Stratum to this place.” Whereas the Gamers didn’t assert equality, the System mainly saved everybody in the identical standing however with few exceptions.

Princess Leah was one such Participant, and whereas she didn’t often present it, her rank was kind of fairly excessive amongst the Gamers, which was why she was one of the best individual to easy issues over.

“You’re proper.” Edward slapped himself firmly to muster his spirit. “The God of Video games wouldn’t put up an unsolvable puzzle —the reply should be hidden in entrance of us!”

Whilst he spoke, everybody turned to stare on the lake that depicted all of Metal Earth and racked their brains.

Xi Wei, who noticed that sight with Divine Eye was left between laughter and tears.

If he actually did have any clues about Everlasting Archives, he would have been high-quality telling the Gamers about it straight since they have been his believers and his staff within the first place.

The issue was that Xi Wei himself didn’t know a factor concerning the Everlasting Archives.

Sure, though he had assumed management over the fourth stratum of the Elven Synchronized Mind Nation (SIN) and analyzed many of the weapon, he nonetheless had not the faintest concept concerning the Everlasting Archives.

The truth is, the Everlasting Archives was solely talked about as soon as within the information of the Fourth Stratum management terminal, and there have been no helpful clues.

On the similar time, Xi Wei was sure that the Everlasting Archives existed.

As talked about earlier than, after having realized concerning the earlier strata of Faint Crystal, Deep Wall, Darkish Sky and Metal Earth, Edward discovered {that a} small half, or certainly essentially the most very important a part of SIN know-how was hidden even after he had studied most of SIN itself. Due to this fact, that a part of the data will need to have been recorded within the Everlasting Archives.

Furthermore, after taking management of the Fourth Stratum, Xi Wei sensed that there was one thing irregular concerning the Elven SIN. Whereas SIN itself was like an exquisitely made machine, it appeared unable to work usually as if it was lacking a couple of gears and bearings.

However regardless of how Xi Wei scrounged round, he couldn’t discover the lacking components.

And now, Xi Wei may solely pin his hopes on the Gamers, wishing that they might discover a flaw within the excessive elves’ designs to uncover the Everlasting Archives.

As such, he can be high-quality spending some divine energy to assist them within the ensuing effort.

“Hmmm?”

And but, whereas Xi Wei saved most of his consideration on the Gamers in Metal Earth, the small portion of his consideration that he diverted elsewhere caught on to one thing uncommon. “Was that an earthquake? No… that’s…”

Shortly turning away and assigning a third-rate Participant within the neighborhood of the phenomenon, Xi Wei’s sight discovered the epicenter together with the Gamers’ motion.

It was a metal large of huge proportions!

When it got here to dimension, the tortoise colossus that carried a small mountain was already large sufficient. This large, nonetheless, was 3 times taller than the tortoise colossus when it stood up straight!

Moreover, it was holding what gave the impression to be a greatsword—however from the appears of the magical inscription and runes over it, it was apparent that it was a daunting gigantic magitek weapon.

“Tch. That factor strikes in a short time… it could attain Crookes inside 4 hours at most if it continued on like this.” Xi Wei’s ball wrinkled, feeling that this 12 months had actually been inauspicious.

If they will’t activate the Elven SIN—that was, the tortoise colossus itself, the enormous would possibly straight minimize off the tortoise’s head!

Ought to he evacuate all of the Gamers away from the Elven Sin and assign them a brand new quest towards the brand new foe?Xi Wei was left in a dilemma proper then.

Even so, that was when Edward, who had saved his eyes glued to the lake reflection appeared up, and his face all of a sudden erupted in delight.

“I’ve bought it! The solar! It’s the solar!” He exclaimed excitedly. “This stratum is clearly Metal Earth, and but there’s a solar up within the sky! There’s undoubtedly one thing bizarre about it!”

“The solar…” The opposite gamers stirred, with all of them wanting as much as the sky as nicely.

On the similar time, Edward, who had considered it first had already summoned his black hearth dragon and streaked into the air…

“Solar? What solar?” In his divine kingdom, Xi Wei did a double take. He adjusted the angles of his God Eye a number of instances, however he couldn’t discover the solar that the Gamers have been speaking about.

Quickly, he understood.

May the excessive elves had intentionally developed some bounded subject or magitek coating, simply to cease the gods from peeking into the core of their weapon?!
