In the palace, King Ghidorah was lying on the throne, with three heads looking at the hall boredly.
The main hall is still the same main hall, with red granite walls, a dome hundreds of meters high, the dome is inlaid with luminous gems, and the floor is paved with smooth stone slabs.
But King Ghidorah felt empty - not empty in the physical sense, but "empty" in the visual sense. The walls were too clean, and several tapestries were gone.
The dome was too dull, with nothing but glowing gems. The ground was too spacious, with nothing but his throne and himself.
So he took out the treasures he got from Apekus from the sixth era space device and placed them on the ground one by one.
The space device is a small silver-white thing that was passed over from Apekus. It is as big as a palm, and there is a space hidden inside that is enough to accommodate the entire coast.
He collected a lot of treasures at that time, but later he kept throwing them away without caring about them.
The first thing thrown out was the giant piece of Kobep Crystal, more than ten meters in diameter, with a pale golden color and a galaxy-like stream of light flowing inside.
When he took it out from the space device, the crystal almost slipped from the tip of the claw (after all, there was only one "finger"). He hooked the edge with the tip of the other claw and stabilized it with some effort.
King Ghidorah pushed the crystal to the corner of the hall. When the crystal rolled on the ground, it made a dull, heavy sound, like a boulder weighing hundreds of tons rolling on the stone floor.
He stopped in the corner, took a few steps back, and tilted his head to look. No, it wasn't bright enough. He pushed it forward again, pushing it to the center of the lampstands on both sides of the hall.
The core of Chaos Beasts King is a giant bead that is several meters in diameter and as black as ink. The surface is wrapped with black mist, and there is a faint roar of a ferocious beast in the mist.
King Ghidorah When he took it out from the space device, the core vibrated slightly at the tip of his claws, like a still beating heart.
King Ghidorah casually placed it next to the crystal. The black and golden light intertwined and reflected on the red granite wall, forming a strange, flowing, aurora-like light and shadow.
Two luminous things served as light bulbs. King Ghidorah nodded with satisfaction.
He took out the giant mecha called "God of War" from the space device.
This is a war-killing weapon built by a certain Civilization in the Fifth Era with all the efforts of the whole country. It is a hundred meters high, and its body is dark gold. The joints are inlaid with red magic cores, and the surface is engraved with ancient magic lines.
King Ghidorah placed it on the right side of the throne. The mecha was kneeling on one knee, with two arms hanging by its sides and its head slightly lowered, like a giant knight swearing allegiance to the emperor on the throne.
Giant figure, nice.
The rest - King Ghidorah poured out all the contents of the space device. Crash - a hill instantly appeared on the ground of the hall.
Objects of various shapes are piled together, some are glowing, some are dimming, and some are quietly used as decorations.
Those little things were all priceless treasures that could drive humans crazy throughout the ages, but in King Ghidorah's opinion, they were "small", not compared to humans, but compared to the tips of their own claws.
King Ghidorah's three heads came closer, and the tips of their claws dug a few times into the pile of objects.
A palm-sized luminous thing, I don't know what it is. The material is like glass or crystal, with a layer of light, flowing fluorescence on the surface.
King Ghidorah picked it up, turned it on the tip of its claw, and threw it back.
A gold vessel inlaid with a bunch of precious stones, about the same size as a human basin.
The surface of the vessel is engraved with exquisite patterns, and the gaps between the patterns are filled with gems of various colors - red, blue, green, and purple.
It sparkled in the light of gems. King Ghidorah took one look at it and threw it back.
There is also a scepter made by an unknown craftsman from which era, which race, and whose top is inlaid with a fist-sized, jet-black gem.
King Ghidorah picked it up and weighed it, and felt that it felt ok, so he leaned it on the armrest of the throne.
In King Ghidorah's eyes, these gadgets combined are not as big as one of his scales. They are probably not important gadgets and can be displayed casually.
Apekus This guy has a lot of treasures in his collection, but most of them are "human treasures" - to humans they are priceless rare treasures, but to him they are just a bunch of junk that takes up space.
He left a few pretty things for decoration, and let Sangis sort out the rest.
King Ghidorah moved the core piece of Chaos Beasts King away from the crystal and changed its position. He rolled the black giant bead from one end of the hall to the other, and then back from the other end.
He found a position that he found pleasing to the eye and placed the core there. The black mist slowly seeped out from the surface of the core and twisted in the air, as if stretching, and then retracted.
Buzz.
A weak, low buzz, as if coming from a far away place, came from inside the core. It was not continuous, but intermittently, like something turning over in a deep sleep, emitting vague, unconscious murmurs.
King Ghidorah didn't care.
He thought it was a normal reaction of Chaos Beast King Core. After all, that thing was the energy crystal of Chaos Beasts King and had a history of tens of thousands of years. It was normal for it to make some noise.
He continued to pull away the pile of debris.
In a place far, far away. Not Vagrian, not Karelia, not within the territory of any known country.
A desolate land that is not marked on the map and has been forgotten by all the countries in the mainland. Even Silence Society's database only has a few lines of rough description.
The ground is gray-black, not soil or gravel, but like unknown rock powder that has been burned many times by fire, flooded many times, and finally weathered into pieces by time.
There was no grass, no trees, no insects, no living things. There was only wind, gray-black wind swirling on the ground, rolling up gray-black powder.
On the ground, something was buzzing. It was not the faint sound made by the Chaos Beast King Core in the King Ghidorah hall, but a steady buzz, like a machine that was started and never turned off again, still running after tens of thousands of years.
The buzzing sound came from deep underground, through the unknown thick layers of rock and soil, and when it reached the ground it was so weak that it was almost inaudible. But the buzzing sound is still there, and it has always been there.
The gray-black powder was vibrated slightly by the buzzing sound, like countless tiny, lifeless marbles that were just mechanically executing the laws of physics.
