Melita had to admit that this was the most embarrassing and digging landing since she broke the shell - although her landing accident rate has always been higher among her fellow tribes due to some carelessness or occasional failure of visual components, it was really the first time that she appeared in front of Speaker Andal in such a rolling and crawling posture.

There is no doubt that this is all because of the failure of the implant, the disappearance of the omega system, which caused the shutdown of various auxiliary implants, and the discomfort caused by leaving the visual field enhancement system...

But no matter what, the embarrassment and pain caused by a failure to land disappeared in the next moment. When I saw the familiar old dragon covered with traces of implant transformation, Melita's mind was instantly filled with surprise and shock.

Speaker Andal was still alive, and even the high priest of Hragore was alive.

Three giant dragons appeared next to the huge crash pit, two of which Melita was familiar with and believed that they had died in the final battle, but Balogel did not know it - the true identity of the Dragon Blood Lord is a secret to 99% of the dragons in Tallond, even for Melita, who is a member of the review team.

...

It took a long time for Hragore, Andal and Balogel to learn about the general situation of Tallond from Melita and Dukemore, and to figure out the changes that took place on the earth after they left the planet.

"I really didn't expect... to see you come back alive," Dukemore looked at the three old friends who appeared in front of him with a complicated and inexplicable look. He was one of the few ancient dragons left in Tallond. However, when he performed the final adultery ceremony, he stayed on this planet to fight against the natural disasters caused by gods. As one of the ancient disobedients, he had no regrets about such an arrangement. However, fate has come to this point, but he still sighed, "This is a miracle among miracles."

"We didn't expect to come back, nor did we expect to see you, Dukemore, who is 'living'," Hragor said, "So... all the surviving compatriots have regained their sense of self? And Omega left Tallond after releasing the minds of all the dragons?"

"It seems like this at the moment," Dukemore lowered his huge head, and the red light in the mechanical eyes dimmed. "Although there are very few surviving compatriots, everyone woke up. As for the Omega system... we can't determine what the computing nodes buried deep underneath are like, but we have dug up some urban service lines and factory information processing stations distributed on the surface, and a small part of them can still operate. When connecting the main network through those lines, we discovered the 'disappearance' of the Omega. Judging from the few signals feedback, it seems that the computing nodes deep underground are still 'live', but the Omega system that should have been running in the nodes is gone."

Dukemore's description made Melita, who was standing by, unable to help but think of "the body is still there, but the soul has left." Then she felt that her association was a bit weird: the Omega system is a super AI, does it really... have a soul?

While Melita was thinking about it, Balogel, who was beside him, thought of their bizarre encounter in space. The ancient mechanic looked at Dukemore: "Do you know how we came back?"

Dukemore immediately said, "I just wanted to ask..."

"We were rescued by a strange... being," Balogel said in a deep voice. "He flew past our spacecraft and looked like a weird dragon made of steel. Although his figure flashed by and looked very strange in shape, I could tell that many of his characteristics came from Tallond, from our tribe..."

Andal, who was standing beside him, took the topic in a low tone: "He comes from this planet and finally disappears into the depths of the universe."

"You mean..." Dukemore's eyes widened, and he finally realized the profound meaning of the old friend's words in front of him. However, the possibility revealed by these words made him stunned, "What you met... Omega?! But this is impossible... Why... This does not conform to Omega's due behavioral logic..."

"Yes, it does not conform to his behavioral logic," Hragor said softly. "According to the instructions we initially set, he should eliminate all the dragon minds as soon as possible after the final battle is over to prevent the reconstruction of the spiritual seal. According to the instructions, he should perform a secondary clearance to prevent the reappearance of thoughts. According to the instructions, he should not take any new actions after completing this final task, but wait quietly for the system to collapse on its own... But he did not do so. He did things outside the program, and even... chose to leave this planet."

"It sounds like he has a 'heart'," Dukemore muttered to himself softly, suddenly unable to help but shake, "I feel chill."

"Quick? I don't feel this," Hragor shook his head, "I think of something else now."

Duke Moore casts a curious sight: "What else?"

"The 'variability' of Omega cannot be created out of thin air. Someone must have influenced him, and this influence occurs at the bottom of the logic library," Hragore said calmly. "The program we set for Omega is based on our understanding of the gods. In order to avoid all hidden dangers as much as possible, we pushed all conditions to the limit - but this does not mean that we have to reach this 'limit'. We are doing so extremes, just because we are afraid of failure.

"It turns out that in the final stage Omega did not reach this 'limit'. He did not eliminate all the dragon minds and even rescued the three of us, and his actions... did not lead to failure.

"We still won. Although we were ready to gamble everything, we did not really sacrifice everything in the end. It was as if there was an invisible hand, fiddling on a very, very narrow boundary of life and death, and then adjusted our overly rough and simple plan, and took back a glimmer of life and hoped for us from the originally destined ending."

Hragor said slowly. He was the oldest leader and rebel in the dragon clan, and the priest closest to and understanding the gods of Tallond. Listening to his word-by-word analysis, Andal and others were silent all the time, each showing a meditative look. Only Melita still seemed a little confused - she felt that she seemed to understand something, but she didn't fully understand what was going on.

Hragore paused, and in the twilight of the dusk, it seemed like it had been a long time before he broke the silence: "That hand... knows the god better than those of us disobedients who have thought for 1.87 million years."

Andal was silent for a long time before whispering in a hoarse voice: "Indeed, there is no existence in the world who knows God better than Him."

Melita blinked, with obvious confusion in her huge and crystal-clear eyes. She looked at the leaders and hesitated for a long time before asking carefully: "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, you will understand later. We need to pay attention to other things now," Andal looked at Melita and shook his head gently. The old dragon slowly supported his huge body and looked in the direction of Argondore in the past. "You have established a temporary shelter near Argondore, right?"

"Yes," Melita nodded quickly, "Elder Dukemore summoned the original survivors, but now the specific affairs of the camp are Calador in charge..."

"Ah, Caladol, he is still alive...I have an impression that he is outstanding," Andal said, slowly opening his huge dragon wings. "But in this situation, even the most outstanding dragon needs more help. We need to go to that temporary shelter soon and have more help, and perhaps more compatriots can survive."

"Can you still fly normally?" Dukemore glanced at Andal. "After the Omega system was offline, many implants were no longer used. Even I barely recovered the ability to move freely after undergoing surgery to remove many faulty implants - you have no less implants than me, and you have just experienced a crash."

"It's a forced landing, my old friend, that's a forced landing," Balogel said immediately, "In addition, don't ignore the basic skills of a senior mechanic - the implant on Andal's body I have adjusted, the fault and shutdown devices have been removed or blocked. I can guarantee that he can fly around Tallond for a week now."

Andal couldn't help but look at Balogel, and then suddenly showed a free and easy smile: "He said yes, then that's OK."

"Well, I believe the most outstanding mechanic of Tallond ever - although this mechanic has not been in touch with Tallond's contemporary machinery for many years," Dukemore shook his huge head and looked towards the direction of the temporary shelter. "And I don't have to surround Tallond for a week... Our camp is on the other side of that cliff."

...

"This is all we have mastered so far," said the Duke of Victoria in the holographic projection projected by the Magic Net terminal. The Duke of Victoria maintained her usual cool expression and reported to Gao Wen the latest results observed on the northern border in the past twenty-four hours. "Based on several sea and air reconnaissances as close as possible, we can confirm that the Eternal Storm has completely disappeared. Now there is still a strong circular current in the original sea area, and there are also many unstable sea cyclones moving nearby, which at the same time triggered large-scale rainfall and huge waves. These should be natural phenomena caused by the residual magic power after the Eternal Storm dissipated.

"At present, the above phenomenon is also fading rapidly. It is expected that at most half a month, all traces left by the eternal storm will disappear - of course, after this storm disappears, there will be many long-term meteorological effects, ocean currents and sea climate will change, and these 'traces' should last for a long time, or even permanent."

Gao Wen sat behind his desk, listening to Victoria's report, but the past trip to Tallond could not help but emerge in his mind, recalling everything he had experienced when he was riding through the storm on Melita's back.

He thought of the ancient battlefield hidden in the cracks of time and space at the base of the storm, those stagnant dragons, gods, and ancient "relics" located in the center of the Great Vortex.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that the eternal storm is maintained by relying on that strange stagnation and loss of time and space... Those ancient forces entrenched in that sea area, which led to the ever-dissipating walls of clouds and vortexes.

And now, this power of maintaining has obviously disappeared.

"Your Majesty, do we need to do further investigation?" Victoria's voice woke Gao Wen from his thoughts, and the duchess's face had a serious expression - of course, she had such an expression most of the time, "The Siren and Naga in North Port said they could try to approach that area from the bottom of the sea, and maybe they could find something."

"Will they help?" Gao Wen was a little surprised, but then he showed a look of surprise, "Of course it's good, we really need further investigation."

——The sea area after the storm dissipates is still very dangerous. Cecil's current ships and aircraft are still difficult to operate safely in the distant seas, but the Siren and Naga, who were originally living in the deep sea, should be able to ignore the "natural threat" after the storm dissipates. They are willing to take the initiative to help, which is of course the best.

"I get it," Victoria nodded, "then I'll make arrangements."

Gao Wen nodded, then raised his head: "Is there anything else?"

"I'm gone," said Victoria, "but there should be something else on Duke Berdevin."

Gao Wen nodded, and after finishing his communication with Victoria, he connected with Shilin City in the West. The elegant Duke of the West, Bedvin Franklin, immediately appeared in the holographic projection.

"My majesty, your majesty."

"Wuan, Grand Administrator," Gao Wen nodded to Berdevin in the projection, "What's going on with you?"

"Information from the Agure Tribe State, the magic technicians who were sent there to assist the locals in setting up the Magic Network Main Hub came some concerning situations." Bedwin Franklin said with a serious expression.

“What is worrying about?”

"Yes, Your Majesty - According to the technician's report, the project to set up the Magic Net Main Hub in the Ancestral Peak area has officially started, but since the first test Magic Obelisk was launched, the devices set up at the top of the mountain have frequently received interference signals of unknown origin. After preliminary comparisons... those interference signals are somewhat similar to those we received in the Sorin area and Winter Fort."

Gao Wen opened his eyes wide in surprise and subconsciously leaned over: "I also received the signal at the Ancestor Peak? And it was received by the test equipment?"
