Head... so painful...
What happened?
I felt as if my head was a complete ss, with all sorts of chaotic stuff thrown together, making it impossible to find the information I wanted.
This situation lasted for over ten minutes before I finally began to regain control of my thoughts.
Ah! Right! I rember! The events before I lost consciousness—at that ti, Qianqian and I were standing at the school gate, and a student from the opposing school was bullying one of our classmates. It looked like they were about to fight. Not wanting to cause trouble, Qianqian and I were prepared to leave quickly, and then?
I was about to find a brick... oh, scratch that plan. I tried to kill that rich kid with a glare instead, thinking how wonderful the world would be if I could just punch him.
And then...
Suddenly, everything ca back to clearly. The sound of the mysterious "Skytop Remote Strike System" countdown seed to echo once more.
"Qianqian! Run!" I shouted, sitting up abruptly, only to find myself no longer at the school gate.
"Where is this... that dream?" I looked around, noticing those gray tal buildings from the dream. Without a doubt, after losing consciousness, I had returned to this strange place.
Rubbing my forehead, I surveyed the surroundings and suddenly realized that sothing seed off. It was too dark.
So I looked up...
The next second, I felt my heart skip a few beats!
The massive tal sphere in the sky was already so close to the ground, almost within reach. The giant sphere covered nearly half of the sky, pressing down like another land. I could clearly see the complex tal structure on its surface. So parts resembled towers, others were missile silos, and still others looked like communication equipnt protruding. It was mainly dense, black cannon muzzles like a forest. Among these tal facilities, there were also large circular depressions that seed to be so kind of landing platform or energy gathering facility. This terrifying steel jungle moved slowly in the sky, silently instilling a sense of impending doom in beneath it.
Squeak, squeak, creak, the deep sound echoed. I couldn't be certain if it was coming from the steel sky above or my own neck—most likely, it was my neck.
What on earth is this thing!? This scene is way too sci-fi!
No matter how I mocked it in my heart, it wouldn't change the fate of being crushed by this airborne fortress as large as a small asteroid—although it was descending too slowly to see any motion, my intuition told that this gigantic celestial fortress was still·descending!
In this dream, my intuition was usually frighteningly accurate. Just as now, I sensed that even though this was a dream, whatever happened in this world would surely affect in the real world.
So what now? Run? Just kidding, do you know how big this tal sphere is? I estimated its radius to be over a thousand kiloters! No matter how slowly it descended, it could squash into dumpling filling before I could escape—pure at filling, with a nylon bag directly on the outside, printed with the school emblem of City Second Middle School...
The priority now was to stay calm, calm! This tal sphere was descending very slowly, so it wouldn't crush imdiately. Before that, I had to find a shelter strong enough to withstand this gigantic asteroid of a fortress...
Finding such a strong place would be harder than running a thousand kiloters!
Wait a minute, I seed to have forgotten sothing.
Right, the other two tal spheres! Originally, there were three tal spheres in the sky, but now I could only see one. Were the other two hiding behind this one that was almost touching the ground?
...At a ti like this, how could I be thinking about such things? One celestial fortress was enough to turn into dumpling filling. Adding two more would just spread the filling more evenly.
But in that flash, I had a mont of clarity amidst my confused thoughts. I recalled the voice that had echoed in my mind when that energy pillar appeared at the school gate.
Whatever it was, whether a supernatural phenonon or superpower, it seed I could influence that energy and its associated Skytop Remote Strike System to so extent. Or rather, it looked like I had activated the strike system in the first place. Now, it seed there had to be so connection between this dream world and the strike system, which ant that I could influence the things in this dream world?
I knew my current situation was probably a desperate attempt to clutch at straws. Such a disconnected thought would never co together under normal circumstances, but there were no other possibilities now—I had to imagine myself as so hidden master, then co up with a big move to save the world. For instance, negotiating with that big tal ball in the sky to make it go back...
That's how it sounded, but whether I could succeed was another story. At this point, I no longer considered this world to be just an ordinary strange dream. This peculiar dream had already exceeded the scope of regular dreams, almost rising to the level of a paranormal event. Who knew if I was dreaming or had been swallowed into so illusion?
Trying my best to calm down, I began to focus my spirit, attempting to control the celestial fortress in the sky that was about to bring disaster upon .
This was very difficult since I had no idea where to start. All I could do was repeatedly think about making this giant sphere move away from the ground.
Dozens of minutes passed, with no movent. In the silent world, I could only hear my increasingly heavy breathing. The massive fortress in the sky had clearly descended closer to the ground, and the previously blurry tal protrusions were now distinctly visible.
Just when I was about to give up, a sensation of sothing being connected ca from deep within my spirit.
That's it!
I felt a surge of joy in my heart and imdiately focused my attention, trying to convey my thoughts as accurately as possible.
Finally, a chanical voice echoed from deep within my mind: "External command set received... Permission confird... Fuzzy command analysis... Command will alter the operation mode of the World Arbitration Agency, please confirm you possess sufficient permissions... Confirm again, altering the orbit of World Arbitration Agency No. 2, Gaia..."
As the chanical voice finished, the gigantic sphere in the sky began to emit a low rumbling sound, slowly rising upward. With the deep rumbling, the silent world suddenly underwent a dramatic transformation!
The voice that resonated every ti I left this world resounded once more, but for the first ti, it carried a sense of joy: "Found it..."
Then, the monotonous world regained its color!
The ashen sky lit up like a display screen, quickly donning a new bluish garnt. The clearer-than-clear, pure blue hue, unlike anything this steel world should have, was more beautiful than any sky I had ever seen. In the distance, the blurred mountains were rapidly covered in green from top to base, releasing an intense life force felt even from a thousand kiloters away. Around , the cold tal buildings regained their vitality, a pale blue glow erging on their surfaces, flickering lights lighting up one by one, centered on , resembling a blossoming firework from high above. The massive fortress in the sky also changed, with streams of blue and white light flowing through the tal grooves on its surface, adding a sense of mystique to the colossal airborne fortress.
In just a dozen seconds, this desolate world transford into a vibrant, magical realm. The beautiful natural scenery and surreal futuristic landscape showcased a magnificent beauty. I stood dumbfounded in the transford tal city, almost forgetting to breathe.
"What... is this..." I muttered.
A pleasant yet emotionless female voice suddenly spoke in my ear: "This is the Imperial Capital Planet, one of the Mother Stars of the Xyrin Empire."
The sudden voice startled , and I imdiately jumped to the side, finally seeing what the "person" who appeared next to looked like.
A light blue, semi-transparent girl floated there, her inorganic eyes turning towards .
Ghost? Or a holographic image?
Given the developnt of the plot, I guessed the latter.
"Hello," I said, putting on a strange expression (hoping she could interpret this severely distorted expression as a smile), "My na is Chen Jun. Um... what brings you here?"
"Hello," the girl opposite bowed slightly and said, "I am World Arbitration Agency No. 2, Gaia. It is a pleasure to et you, Your Majesty."
