As the professional team of the Extraordinary Research Alliance set foot on this large island, they officially began their exploration in this alien space.
Various drones for detecting data and equipment for checking the surrounding environment conditions began to be deployed one by one.
With the help of powerful technology, rough data results will soon come out.
First of all, the terrain. There are only two peaks visible to the naked eye, and there is nothing special about it except for various vegetation.
Secondly, there is no starry sky here, and it is difficult to receive any electromagnetic waves from the sky. It is as if the sky here is just a sticker, which makes it more likely that this is an independent space.
Finally, the composition of the air and soil here is basically the same as that of the earth. Professionals are currently conducting more detailed research on some of the differences.
“Although once Director Hansen and his team return safely and pass the test, it can be confirmed that there shouldn’t be any major problems with the environment here.”
"But until more specific data comes out, everyone should not take off their protective clothing."
This is what the experts responsible for monitoring the air and surrounding biochemical environment data said.
Everyone nodded in cooperation.
After all, this place is suspected to be an alien space, and there may be viruses and bacteria that do not exist on Earth. Everyone understands this truth, so naturally they cooperate very well.
You have to know that the town of Reine outside has already started to establish prevention and control measures. If you oppose this chemical defense measure now, you will suffer when you get out, so it is better to cooperate throughout the process.
After seeing that everyone had basically packed up their equipment, Hansen immediately instructed the professional team around him: "The oxygen cylinders carried by the special personnel plus the air in the protective suits are only enough for all of us to move around for six hours. In order to ensure safety and security, the total time limit for our activity is four hours. We must stop exploring after two hours and immediately set off to return here."
Having said that, he ordered everyone to disperse.
The most supernatural things on this island that is located somewhere unknown are the towering trees that are several hundred meters high in the center of the island and some small floating islands in the surrounding sky.
During the limited 2 hours of exploration time, in addition to leaving some people to collect a large number of surrounding air, water, soil, and vegetation samples, the main force will naturally go to places that are more worthy of exploration.
The whole team moved forward non-stop.
Everything along the way was simply identified and collected by the accompanying staff, and photographed and recorded by a series of professionals.
In this place that seems to be an alien space, many places reveal their extraordinary qualities amidst their ordinaryness.
"The vegetation here is very interesting. I saw a lot of plants from a distance on the plane before."
“Trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns…all kinds of plants seem to be found here.”
"Although they are all normal species that I can recognize, they all grow to their heart's content regardless of the environment in which they grow, and they all bloom regardless of the season."
An expert from the team stopped in front of a tree, stroked its trunk and murmured.
"The plant is at least 20 meters tall, with grayish-white bark. The flowers are solitary and grow in the axils of leaves at the top of branches, and are red."
"This is a kapok tree. It should grow in a hot and dry climate with plenty of sunshine. But now it can grow lushly in a place where you can't even see the sun and the temperature is always constant at 23 degrees..."
The plant expert couldn't help but stroke the bark and murmur, his eyes showing not only confusion but also extreme enthusiasm.
To him, this place is simply paradise.
To ordinary people, all they see at a glance are countless different kinds of plants and beautiful flowers blooming all over the mountains.
Everything is so ordinary.
But for him as a botanist, this place is extremely valuable for research.
Seemingly ordinary and familiar plants grow and bloom here regardless of the climate. There must be something worth exploring for a lifetime.
Combined with the experience of being teleported in, the botanist's desire to explore naturally became stronger.
Seeing this, Hansen asked several subordinates in charge of security who were absolutely obedient to his orders to stay, accompany and protect the botanist, and limit his range of movement to nearby areas so that they could pick up the botanist when they returned.
Then, the entire large army continued to move forward without stopping.
Although we encountered various flowering plants along the way, we did not encounter any animals.
Except for the sound of their footsteps, everything was eerily quiet.
However, even so, the highly professional team did not let down their guard.
The accompanying fully armed security personnel looked around from time to time, ready to empty the magazines at any monster that might suddenly appear.
When passing by three floating islands of different sizes, they sent out a large number of drones they carried, and during the brief stop, they conducted a bird's-eye view exploration of the three floating islands.
The result is still nothing.
There was nothing unusual on the floating island, only ordinary vegetation all over the mountains.
This first investigation was just a rough look around, and we didn't plan to figure out everything about such a large alien space at once.
Also take into account the time limit for this exploration.
Hansen decided to put aside the reasons why these floating islands floated for the time being. The most important thing was to quickly get to the big tree in the center.
His intuition told him that there was something there.
"If the hammer in Philip's hand is really Mjolnir, then the giant tree that the rainbow bridge opens to is the legendary world tree - Yggdrasil?"
Hansen thought about this and became more determined to go to the tree immediately.
The whole team began to speed up their pace following Hansen's decision, but Philip, who was also in the team, was trying hard to suppress his shock.
Compared to the ordinary people around him, although he has not yet become a psychic, he has at least taken half a step across the threshold of psychics. In addition, he has now integrated the power of Thor in Mjolnir.
Therefore, everything he could perceive was completely different from the ordinary people around him.
In terms of spiritual perception ability alone, he can reach the level of a level 3 psychic.
From the moment you step onto the island.
Philip has always felt a very strange feeling.
From the giant tree in the middle of the island, there is a constant flow of some strange spirituality, and that feeling is really special.
If he closed his eyes, Philip would definitely mistake the tree for the secret door in the Morning Cave.
It should be described as spirituality of spatial attributes, filling every corner of the tree.
However, the power of space on his body was obviously dissipating, even Philip could feel it.
Besides this, Philip could sense a strange sense of tragedy filling the tree.
This feeling is hard to describe, Philip doesn't know how to put it exactly.
So, he controlled his emotions and quietly followed the team.
a long time.
The team has reached the tree.
This tree is very tall, at least five hundred meters high.
This was everyone's first reaction, and no other adjectives came to their minds.
Because this tree is so abnormally tall, anyone who sees it will think that this tree is definitely abnormal.
After all, for them, the tallest known tree in the world is only over a hundred meters tall.
Even Philip had only seen the two-thousand-meter-tall hibiscus tree in the headquarters cave, which was taller than the tree in front of him.
If we were asked to describe it further apart from tall, it seems that there would be no other words.
Like most trees, it has an umbrella-shaped crown and lush green leaves. Everything about it is normal except its height.
Apart from……
Densely packed character patterns on the tree trunk!
When everyone noticed the characters on the tree trunk, they all opened their mouths in unison with an expression of disbelief.
"Hey, pinch me."
An expert subconsciously said this to his colleague next to him, and that colleague, who was a very down-to-earth person, pinched him without hesitation after hearing what he said.
A cry of pain suddenly rang out.
Everyone around was awakened from their shock.
Hansen didn't look at the expert who was grimacing and covering his arm, but just swallowed his saliva.
The reason why everyone, including him, was so shocked was because everyone could understand the densely packed words on the tree trunk.
It was clearly a pattern he had never seen before, but Hansen felt that he could understand it.
Hansen tried taking photos to record the situation and found that he could still understand the text in the photos.
But when he tried to trace and write down the exact same pattern, he felt it was just a scribble and couldn't understand what it meant at all.
There is no doubt that this special kind of text is the embodiment of the extraordinary!
Perhaps, this kind of writing is the prototype of the Runic script in Norse mythology!
This is undoubtedly a big step forward for the Extraordinary Research Alliance!
Since the incident in the small town of Tromsø, their Paranormal Research Alliance, which is dedicated to searching for and studying the paranormal, has not encountered any supernatural incidents.
Even in the Tromsø incident, they only understood the existence of the extraordinary event from indirect evidence such as picture and video records, witness statements, and some traces of monster destruction.
They had never even seen the monsters themselves, and the bodies of the monsters were all taken away by that mysterious organization.
During the long period of fruitless work, Hansen once felt that everything that had happened in the town of Tromsø was an illusion.
However, the remains of the sacrificed people always serve as a reminder to him.
Until today, they finally faced the extraordinary with certainty and reality.
The hammer that can't be lifted and looks like Mjolnir, the rainbow bridge transmission, the independent different space, the special characters that look like runes...
At this moment, Hansen even wanted to cry.
Philip, who was standing aside, was naturally shocked.
In stark contrast to Hansen's shock, his was that he recognized the writing.
It is the same as the stone tablet in the headquarters cave with the words "Eternal Day" written on it and the eternal day sun pattern logo engraved on it.
Both are the same language.
The occasional mentions of Yong Zhou on the tree trunk, as well as the words that recorded a lot of information, made him feel complicated.
turn out to be……
The Organization was far greater than he knew.
…
[72nd maintenance, confirmed that [Yggdrasil]'s teleportation power has been restricted, and the disaster will be sealed forever. ]
[After two thousand years of baptism, the remaining power is not enough to continue to maintain the transmission. The seal maintenance work here is over. Salute to the pioneers. 】
This is the bottom line of text on the giant tree, and there is no other record after this.
Apparently, after that sentence ended, no one left any more messages here.
Looking from the bottom up, there are rows of records.
[The 71st maintenance, the [Yggdrasil] seal maintenance work is completed, salute to the pioneers. ]
[The 70th maintenance, the [Yggdrasil] seal maintenance work is completed, salute to the pioneers. ]
[69th maintenance, [Yggdrasil] seal maintenance work completed, salute to the pioneers. ]
…
At the top, it was not the stereotyped "Yggdrasil" seal maintenance work completed, but a sentence with a lot of information: [The stars fell from the sky, time no longer exists, the charred ground shook and sank into the turbulent seabed, and all you can see is the raging waves. At this moment, the whole world is left with only a dead silence and eternal darkness. ]
[We lost our bridgehead to the other world, and we lost countless outstanding members, but this also gave all of humanity a chance to breathe. ]
[The seal of [Yggdrasil]'s clone will be maintained for a long time under the supervision of Eternal Day, and the pioneers and enemies will be forever sealed in the other world of destruction. ]
[When your body can no longer support you, your will will lead you forward! The spiritual seal condensed by the pioneers will last forever. ]
[This is their last defense! All members of Yongri, salute the pioneers! ]
Looking at the detailed contents recorded in these texts, everyone can feel a sense of epic and tragic grandeur.
Hansen, who has always wanted to explore the truth of the world, feels that he seems to have discovered something extraordinary at this moment.
Isn't the phrase "Stars are falling from the sky..." a phrase used to describe the destroyed world in the Ragnarok event in Norse mythology? Could it be that...
The story recorded here is the true origin of the so-called Ragnarok? !
The reason why the world tree [Yggdrasil] in Norse mythology connects the nine realms in the setting is because the tree as the prototype was once the means for Everday to travel to another world? Gods like Odin and Thor are actually members of Everday? Enemies like giants and poisonous dragons are actually enemies that wanted to harm humans in the past? The so-called Ragnarok is actually a depiction of part of the war that Everday participated in? !
Hansen felt that the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became. However, the things he had seen so far, such as Thor's hammer, the Rainbow Bridge, and Yggdrasil, seemed to prove that the so-called eternal day was indeed the prototype of Norse mythology?
And when he thought about the fact that the two great powers also seemed to have discovered traces of the supernatural, Hansen felt that Eternal Day might not just be the prototype of Norse mythology.
At this moment, many other elites present had naturally thought of Norse mythology and Ragnarok.
Almost everyone present, after combining their own knowledge, figured out a story from the text written on these tree trunks.
This is the territory of an organization called Eternal Day.
This organization is probably the mysterious organization that appeared in the town of Tromsø.
It is unknown how long ago that they sent out a group of pioneers, who used [Y'k'trathil] to teleport to other worlds to fight against some kind of enemy, but this group of pioneers seemed to have died together with the enemy in that destroyed world in the end.
Even if the pioneers sacrificed their lives, they would use all their strength and spiritual will to condense the seal and hand it over to future generations for maintenance.
For two thousand years, Yong Zhou has been persistently maintaining the seal of the incarnation of [Y'k'trasil] in front of him to prevent the former enemies from returning.
The pioneers did not hesitate to sacrifice their last strength to protect humanity. Eternal Day has held out for two thousand years, just to silently protect all of humanity.
