Xiao Ran stayed in the study and looked at what Naza and Fardes sent back, a detailed video record and thick analysis materials.
The extremely huge black sphere in the video occupies a corner of the universe. It is a black sphere that has swallowed everything and cannot see any light. It is like a black hole but will not swallow anything.
On the periphery is Spatial Rift, with extremely wide space turbulence, and on the further periphery is dense Debris Belt, like a land of death.
There are also many things noted in the analysis data. It is not sure what the black sphere is. First of all, it is speculated to be some kind of protective barrier. The key point is that it is uncertain. It cannot be determined whether this thing is a special black hole or a barrier, because it cannot be reflected from the existing data and cannot be determined with the naked eye.
If it is a barrier, then whether this barrier protects Solar System or seals Solar System is debatable.
The second uncertainty is whether Solar System exists in this land of death. The sent reconnaissance drones will be destroyed if they cannot get close. The powerful space turbulence and the torn space traces make it impossible for the unmanned reconnaissance drones to get close. At least they cannot find a way to go deeper. Even with the current ability of the Burning Legion, it is very, very, very difficult to go deep.
Two uncertainties: Xiao Ran is relieved and Xiao Ran is worried. Whether Solar System exists in Real Universe cannot be confirmed. Determined, in short, there is now a huge obstacle blocking the possibility of continuing the investigation, and the difference between that star field and the current Star Map in each territory is also very big, at least 95% or more.
Based on this, there is a second preliminary analysis of the sphere, which is that the star field represents nothingness. What nothingness means is space that does not exist. It is like a cake missing a small piece from the inside. It is also under the universe, but that place is actually the missing piece.
But Xiao Ran knows that there is actually a third problem, which is also a complicated problem.
There is an existence similar to Prometheus on the earth. It may not be as powerful as Prometheus in terms of ability, but it definitely has the same ability as Prometheus.
It is not impossible that the special system called eternity sealed the earth and created such a barrier.
Also due to the same situation, the earth where Xiao Ran is located is facing the invasion of countless other worlds. So what is going on in those other worlds? Does that type of invasion only exist in that area of the earth? Is the earth actually a separate world?
Xiao Ran thought about the situation when he returned to Earth. The whole process was normal, but now that he thought about it, the whole process was abnormal.
The most abnormal thing is the time.
The fact that Naza and Fardes left and sent back the message did not clarify the situation in the area where the earth should be, but it pointed out to Xiao Ran the major problem of time conflict.
The internal time flows of Real Universe and Prometheus are different. This is something that Xiao Ran has known before, but that kind of knowledge is very one-sided. It just thinks that Prometheus has the ability to control time and is omnipotent, but even if it is omnipotent, it cannot cause such a thing as time.
That is to say, if two participants return to Real Universe at the same time, one of them leaves first and has experienced a lot of Mission World. After returning to Real Universe again, it will be countless tasks later. But after countless tasks, will he meet the second participant who has not yet completed the task?
And when the second participant meets the first participant back in the real world, and the second participant also chooses to return to Prometheus and perform the task, will he meet the first participant in Prometheus who has not performed countless tasks yet?
This is just an argument between two participants, but the more participants there are, the bigger the argument will become, so it is absolutely impossible to completely affect time, even if there are certain rules for dealing with territory, let alone Real Universe.
This shows that Prometheus still has certain limitations on the control of time. However, Xiao Ran stayed on Earth for several years, and only one day passed after returning. How to explain this situation?
Now through the proof of S-class Pilot, the time between Prometheus and Real Universe actually continues to flow at a certain ratio. It will not happen that decades or hundreds of years have passed since the participant returned. Only one day has passed since returning to Prometheus. This ratio is not small. It is probably more than ten days for Real Universe and one day for Prometheus.
But there is really no way to explain the situation that Xiao Ran encountered. When Xiao Ran returned home and returned to Prometheus, it felt a little similar to the situation that occurs during regular missions. The most likely possibility of this situation is that the earth and Real Universe are not in the same place, or there is no direct connection, so this situation occurs.
Thinking further, even if the earth may be connected with Real Universe, which is the black ball now discovered, then maybe this black ball will completely separate the earth and Real Universe into two different worlds.
The process of Xiao Ran returning to the earth is actually returning to Real Universe first, and then entering the earth from Real Universe. Unknown to Xiao Ran There is an additional relay point in the middle. In fact, the years that passed after Xiao Ran returned to Earth were probably just a moment for Outside World, so that all the situations can be explained clearly.
"What is going on here? Is the Earth really so special?"
Xiao Ran frowned slightly, speculation was just speculation. He was not really sure what all this was about. There were only two ways to get the answer. The first was to find out from the protector of the earth, and the second was to find out from Prometheus.
The former requires Xiao Ran to return to Earth, but Xiao Ran cannot return freely and must wait until Prometheus gives a prompt. So far, Xiao Ran has only returned once to become S-class Pilot. The second type may have to wait until Prometheus is fully controlled.
But the current situation can at least reassure Xiao Ran. Even Burning Legion cannot be sure that the star field is difficult to penetrate, so other legions should not even think about finding out the situation there. And even if Real Universe really becomes chaotic because of Prometheus, there is no need to worry about what impact it will have on the earth.
Next comes the fourth mission of this mission cycle, which is Special Mission. Now Normal Mission is already very small to the meaning of Xiao Ran, but Special Mission is different. It can enter some worlds that are also special to Real Zone.
The mission cycle this time passed extremely fast. The first mission was Unicorn, the second mission was jumped away, and the third mission was Legion Wars. In the blink of an eye, it was already the fourth mission.
Originally Xiao Ran was not going to continue the mission, but this Special Mission made Xiao Ran very excited. If he was lucky, he could enter the chaotic world, such as the world of Super Robot Wars, or enter the world of Fantasy type, and maybe enter the world of Gunpla.
Xiao Ran feels that such a mission is still a bit overwhelming. Now that S-class Pilot of the legion has been dispatched, Special Mission, who is carrying out a legion-scale mission, is obviously not suitable. He is leading the team alone to carry out a wave of things, but gave up the mission and chose to stay. Xiao Ran is still struggling a little.
Regarding the mission, Xiao Ran hopes to go to a world that will bring greater help to the Burning Legion, or a world that is very interesting and fun. For Mecha Wars Z, Xiao Ran finds it very interesting, especially the gem Xiao Ran of this world, which is also quite interesting. Now he has one of that world in his hand, but there are more gems waiting for Xiao Ran.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ran decided to continue to persevere. He shamefully succumbed to the threat of Prometheus and chose to continue to persevere. There will be opportunities for Baoyu and others in the future. Once he controls Prometheus, he can go to whichever world he wants. For now, it is better to be stable for the time being. Besides, it is not necessarily the world he enters that is Mecha Wars Z.
And even if he enters Mecha Wars Z, Xiao Ran feels that he might be arranged to be a big BOSS. If you really think about it, he also has the ability to create Dimensional Beast, and he might become the big boss behind all the forces in that world. If Prometheus doesn't deliberately target him, there are still many choices.
But the water in that world is a bit deep. Xiao Ran feels that if there is a chance to go to that world together, it would be better to wait until everyone is around before going. The current situation is really not suitable.
Since Xiao Ran has decided to go back to Prometheus, they are not ready to return to Prometheus, but Cruze and the others have already begun to prepare for the special. The time of Special Mission this time is a bit coincidental, it happens to be the first mission of the legions after being integrated, and it is also when all S-class Pilot are not there.
This makes the forces of each legion somewhat weak and deficient. Cruze and the "local" pilots of the Burning Legion must also shoulder the responsibility of assisting these legions to successfully survive this mission. Even A-Class Pilot, who is directly connected to the Burning Legion, will also have certain tasks.
Everyone will enter the same mission in the name of the Burning Legion. As for Xiao Ran, that is definitely not necessary. Xiao Ran estimates that if he really brings a team into the mission, there is a high possibility that it will be thrown into a very difficult world. There is no need to let those participants who were beaten to the ground and just got up to take risks with him. The senior pilot configuration of this mission is already very tight.
Although there are so many legions, all of them are affiliated legions of the Burning Legion, which is essentially one legion, so there are no unachievable conditions for doing Special Mission together. Without Xiao Ran, the mission difficulty should be the same as the current situation.
Soon, it was time to start the task. Many participants left Faction Territory one after another. The territory seemed to become quiet again, leaving Xiao Ran alone at home to take care of the children. Nothing happened that day.
After a day of leisure, Cruze and the others returned safely and brought back many good things to the legion.
The complete Geta technical information, this is a set of technical information that completely supplemented the technical information of the Demon God, as well as some messy and useless stuff, and then had a fight with King of Ruin in that world. King of Ruin's younger brother was killed, but the real King of Ruin escaped and was sealed again.
The process was bumpy but the ending was good. The main reason for the so-so harvest was that everyone got a certain amount of Special Evaluation.
The Geta Tower has always been an embarrassing thing inside the Burning Legion. Although it is used for research, it has only been studied in a limited manner. Apart from the derived Guardians series, it basically has no use. Xiao Ran has never allowed Technology Department to conduct in-depth research on the energy source of the Geta Tower. That thing seems a bit disgusting to Xiao Ran.
However, with the complete follow-up technical data on the Get Tower, some restrictions on Get Tower research can be slightly relaxed, and a suitable territory can be found to start further research and development to create the Get Tower series belonging to the Burning Legion version.
For example, Gaetasaurus, Getter Emperor?
The information on the Demon God is to be supplemented, and there is also some research on the Demon God Burning Legion. After all, there is Photon Power Research Institute in Mecha Wars J. The understanding of the Demon God is much better than the understanding of Geta. Some supplements are actually insignificant.
However, the development like the battle with King of Ruin is a bit interesting. From the perspective of Xiao Ran, the biggest gain is only the technical aspect of building the tower. As the legion has more territories and develops larger, the real gains that can be obtained in Mission World will definitely become smaller and smaller. After all, there is no meaning in getting things once, and the limitations of Mission World also determine this.
This mission is led by the Burning Legion, which at least allows those legions who have just climbed up to straighten their backs a little, and the harvest can also allow them to strengthen themselves again. Burning Legion leads the team to carry out this mission, which is necessary due to the situation, but there is no need to continue.
The progress on the Real Universe side is not fast. After all, the time difference is too short compared to the time difference in Mission World. There is no way to see too many results in these times. Only the action speed on the Cang side is very fast. It gathered the power of all participants and directly slaughtered Royal Family, and also wiped out Zhou's forces.
Then they use the influence of their respective families to control the entire empire. It will take about half a year to completely calm down and deal with it according to Cang's estimation, and then two participants will have to be left to stabilize the situation in the empire.
