Chapter 584: Chapter 428: Blasphemous Artifact_1 Chapter 584: Chapter 428: Blasphemous Artifact_1 Actually, by now, Duanmu Huai has almost guessed what the cause of the incidents in this place is.
If he is not mistaken, there should be a Blasphemous Artifact here!
The so-called Blasphemous Artifact isn’t an artifact corrupted and twisted by the Evil God. Strictly speaking, its origin is more like… a relic.
As ntioned before, in the aftermath of the Black Hole Project, to weaken the potential followers of the Evil Gods, surviving humans carried out the second phase of the God Creation Movent. This led to the ergence of many different deities across the universe. Admittedly, these deities were not as strong as the Four Great Evil Gods, but objectively, as long as they existed, they would compete with the Four Great Evil Gods, who were trying to regain their power, for believers and souls. They were, in effect, obstacles in the way of the Four Great Evil Gods.
Given the scale of this God Creation Movent, there must be tens of thousands of gods scattered throughout the Milky Way. It goes without saying that they certainly wouldn’t live in harmony. Holy wars were bound to break out. Among these clashes, there were, of course, losers, whose only outco could be death.
Which brings up the question.
Would a grand deity willingly accept its demise?
Of course not.
Even if it was weak enough to be obliterated, it was still a deity. When Eywa of Pandora Planet was killed by Duanmu Huai, almost all creatures on Pandora Planet went mad, with heavy casualties. This also shows that even a dead god’s residual power is incomparable to humans.
Just as many ghost stories describe, things left behind by resentful dead people may also possess curse-like effects. The relics left by the gods would also embody similar power.
Hence the relics with the resentnt power of the dying deities are referred as Blasphemous Artifacts by players.
It was the residual energy imprinted by a deity in this man’s brain that triggered Duanmu Huai’s Fearful Aura from the God of Destruction. A reason for Duanmu Huai to be certain that a Blasphemous Artifact was behind all of this is very simple. Any ordinary parahuman ability would have no resistance against such divine power. However, given that this residual energy still had an effect under his Fearful Aura, it must have been left by a god.
No wonder there was a Fragnted World here.
Upon realizing this, Duanmu Huai mostly understood why the Planet Dissolution Ship was haunted. Clearly, these unfortunate miners stumbled upon a Blasphemous Artifact and triggered its power, leading to their downfall. Similarly to the souls killed by Duanmu Huai being drawn into the Obliteration Domain, these people’s souls will naturally be drawn into the Divine Realm of the god that killed them.
As the god was already dead and the leftover power was rely an illusion without consciousness, this resulted in the formation of a Fragnted World.
All these thoughts flashed through Duanmu Huai’s mind, and he quickly grasped the core of this Fragnted World.
Obviously, to completely eliminate all the problems here, one must fine and destroy the Blasphemous Artifact!
So, Duanmu Huai swiftly stretched out his hand and grabbed the adjutant next to him.
“I hereby take over this ship in the na of the Tribunal! All cabins are to be sealed imdiately and no one is to act recklessly without my orders! Report promptly if there are any problems…”
“———————!!!”
However, before Duanmu Huai could finish his sentence, suddenly, everything turned pitch-black. The previously brightly illuminated dical room was completely dark, then a mont later, a red light appeared along with the frantic sound of an alarm.
“Head to the bridge imdiately!”
Duanmu Huai’s face turned grave.
It seed… the situation was a bit out of his expectation.
anwhile, on the bridge, Captain Murphy was covered in cold sweat.
“What’s happening? What happened?”
“Report, report! Just now, so kind of interference wave suddenly erupted from the planet shards…”
“From the shards?”
“Yes, the exact situation is unclear, but so communication and connection lines have failed due to the interference…”
“Get in touch with the mining team imdiately, ask what on earth is going on?”
“Yes! Report, there is no response!”
Damn it.
On hearing this, the captain frowned even more.
“Dispatch a defense team to the shards. See what is happening there!”
“Yes!”
Soon, upon receiving the order, a nearby defense team set off imdiately, taking a transport ship departing the Planet Dissolution Ship to the planet shards not far below pulled up by the gravity rope.
“Captain, what do you think those miners are up to?”
“I don’t know, but we should stay on our guard.”
Looking at the increasingly large planet shards before him, the captain shook his head and then turned to the co-pilot.
“Have you located the mining platform?”
“Strange, it should be around here…Ah, there it is, but it’s strange, they haven’t turned on the lights.”
While speaking, the co-pilot activated the searchlight, and soon, under the illumination, they saw the platform on the surface of the shards not far away. However, typically, the navigational lights that direct the transport ship should be turned on here, but now it was all dark. Not only the landing platform, but even the nearby mining equipnt and industrial areas were enshrouded in darkness.
“Contact the mining team again.”
The defense team leader gave the order, and the co-pilot nodded, then opened the communication line.
“Mining Team One, this is Steel Hamr No.23 Defense Team, please respond if you hear this.”
“……Crackling……”
“Mining Team One, this is Steel Hamr No.23 Defense Team, please respond if you hear this.”
“……”
However, no matter how much the co-pilot called, there was no response, making the atmosphere inside the transport ship tense. Just as this was happening…
“Cracking……Crackling……”
Suddenly, static ca from the communication device, followed by the clear voice of a little girl that abruptly rang out.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky…”
The girl’s voice was clear and pleasant, but the mbers of the defense team who heard this song could only stretch out their hands in anguish, covering their ears. To them, this sound was akin to the noise of fingernails scratching on a blackboard, like a dull blade, piercing into the depths of their brains!!
“Ugh… Ahhhh…!!”
The pilot also discarded the walkie-talkie he was holding. He looked up to the front. In the dark universe, little sparkles were flickering before his eyes. However, at this mont, what the driver saw seed to be brilliant eyes, like those of insects. It was as if the entire universe was an extrely large, terrifying creature that was staring at him!
“No no no no no Aaaaaahhhhh!!!”
At this mont, the pilot’s sanity completely collapsed. He scread as he grabbed the steering wheel, but soon, the transport plane suddenly accelerated and headed straight towards the ground!
“Boom!!!”
A flash of fire suddenly appeared and then disappeared into the darkness.
Yet, no one knew about all of this.
“Pfft—————!”
Accompanied by the sound of air escaping, the hatch opened, and Duanmu Huai led the girls into the bridge at a brisk pace. Seeing Duanmu Huai, the captain who was standing on the bridge also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Judge Sir!”
“Report the situation! What happened?”
“I don’t know, there seem to be issues with the planetary fragnts, the mining team is not responding, I’ve sent the defense team to investigate…”
“What about the report?”
“Ah, oh! Yes! Establish communications with the defense team and inquire about the situation!”
“Understood!”
Hearing the captain’s order, the crew quickly took action.
“This is Steel Hamr, calling Defense Team No.23! Please respond if you hear this.”
“…………”
However, no matter how much they called, there was no response.
“Re, report… it seems…”
“Buzzbuzz…”
However, just at this mont, noise ca from the speakers, and then… the girl’s singing started again.
“Twinkle twinkle little star, all over the sky. Hanging in the sky, shining brightly, as though many little eyes…”
“Ugh… Ahhhh…!!”
Accompanied by the singing, everyone on the bridge also covered their ears and trembled in pain. Even Ann and Greiya frowned, looking bitter.
“So… this voice … it’s so uncomfortable…”
“It’s disgusting…”
Compared to Ann and Greiya, Ogis and Lani had no reaction. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly stepped forward, removed his helt, and snorted coldly!
“Humph!!!”
With this cold snort, a fearso aura erupted from Duanmu Huai. In a blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire warship. At this mont, everyone, including the captain, felt as if their hearts had been heavily hamred, and Duanmu Huai’s cold and terrifying face appeared before their eyes. The terror and shiver from the depths of their souls imdiately dispelled the song that seed to be drilling straight into their brains.
“Pant … Haah!!!”
A mont later, everyone was soaked in sweat, coming back to their senses. It felt as if they had just erged from the water, gasping for air, right at the mont before drowning. It was a sensation of being reborn.
“Sir Knight, what on earth is…”
“It should be so type of psychic attack. Ogis, Lani, did you hear anything?”
“No, master.”
“I didn’t hear anything, either.”
Hearing the responses of the two, Duanmu Huai was not surprised. Ogis was essentially still a puppet, and Lani was now in a puppet body too. Strictly speaking, neither of them were life forms. If this power specifically targeted life forms, then they would definitely not be affected.
“Si, sir… what just happened…”
The captain was also flustered. He approached and looked at Duanmu Huai anxiously.
“The Tribunal will handle the rest. Now, I issue an order in the na of the Great Judge: the entire ship must be locked down from now on, and everyone must stay where they are. Under no circumstances can the blockade be lifted, regardless of the reason.”
Duanmu Huai issued the order coldly, then looked beside him.
“Greiya, you and Lani stay on the bridge and contact if anything happens. Ann, you go with and Ogis.”
“Sure.”
“Understood.”
The girls nodded one after another, and then Duanmu Huai turned to the captain.
“Other than the transport plane, is there any other way to get there?”
“There… there’s an elevator that transports raw materials. As long as it’s turned on…”
“Take there.”
Duanmu Huai said this and took out the war hamr.
“Next, it’s the Tribunal’s job.”
