Chapter 29: Ruin Island
Besides touring the zoo, the girls also visited many other places on campus.
For example, there was the botanical garden, arranged and maintained by the students, the grand auditorium used for conferences, a small hill where one could overlook the entire sea of clouds, and the small cafeteria that Su Ling highly recommended for everyone to eat at~~
Although these things were not famous attractions, after this trip, everyone truly felt a sense of atmosphere—the weight of history.
Because many things on the island had been left behind from a thousand years ago. In a corner of the island, Lonnis even saw a cannon that had been abandoned for hundreds of years!
With a 620mm caliber, the cannonball alone weighed several tons! It seemed that no matter how terrifying a monster arrived, it would be blown away with one shot.
However…
It had also been eliminated by the times, hadn’t it?
Because in the current world, manufacturing cannonballs of this scale not only requires massive machine tools but also a huge amount of gunpowder. With a projectile of the same explosive power, if magic gemstones were used as the core, it would be much lighter.
So, everything had become history.
But that didn’t stop modern people from admiring the crystallization of ancient wisdom and protecting it.
…
…
And during the tour, Lonnis also had a small question:
“Your Highness Loli God Alice, may I ask you something?”
“Mm, please do.”
“I know… the history we are currently in is the history of victory. Everything has been preserved, so that means, in the real main world, all of this has already been destroyed?”
“Mm…”
Because it was a rather heavy topic, Alice also restrained her smile and sighed, “Actually, compared to ordinary people, that battle wasn’t that terrifying.”
“Eh?”
“Everyone didn’t even know the news of their defeat; they all perished overnight—because the culprit of everything was the ‘Homogenizer’ from a high-level civilization.”
“Homogenizer…”
“Mm, at that time, monsters from the Yixiu civilization had almost spread across our entire planet, breaking through the defense lines of various human civilizations. Therefore, the Supreme Civilization believed that Earth was no longer pure and had been completely polluted by the Yixiu civilization, so they activated the Homogenizer, transforming all liquid and solid matter into carbon elements.”
“What?!”
“The Supreme Beings indeed had such power. That’s why, in the scene you saw at the time, the entire world was completely desolate. Ordinary people had completely disappeared without even feeling any pain.”
“This kind of thing is too excessive!”
Although Lonnis was somewhat relieved to hear that no one suffered, the fact that everyone had turned into carbon crystals overnight was too insulting.
It was simply…
Completely treating human civilization as mere data and directly deleting it!
The girls also appeared very indignant, completely unable to agree with the actions of the Supreme Beings.
“Damn it, when I go back to the past, I will definitely eliminate them!!!”
“Su Ling too, we will never forgive those who hurt our companions!”
“Mm, at that time, I will also do my best with everyone and fight together. Everyone, let’s do our best.”
…
…
This was not just a journey to save the world, but also a journey to save oneself.
Therefore, they planned to stay on Academy Island for three days. This was not only for rest but also to take this opportunity to learn knowledge, otherwise, many things might be too late when they returned.
…
Lonnis was no exception. She also wanted to improve herself, at least to elevate her strength.
So, the silver-haired girl told Elusilla about her thoughts.
But she did not expect…
When Elusilla heard her request, she actually showed a mischievous smile:
“Mm… Little idiot wants to improve herself? I didn’t expect you to be so proactive now.”
“Uwa?”
“Since you’re preparing to improve yourself, you must be ready to be bullied, right?”
…
Hearing Elusilla say this, Lonnis realized what she had chosen.
Since she had chosen a weak setting, in terms of growth,
She would definitely become stronger the more she was bullied—and Elusilla’s mischievous smile indicated that she could no longer wait to play with her.
So…
“Wuwu, Elusilla, can you go easy on me?”
“Hmph, begging me is useless. Because I also don’t know which ancient relic is more suitable for you.”
“Eh?”
“But there are so many on Ruin Island, there must be some that are worthy of use, right? Hmph hmph, let’s try them one by one.”
…
…
Don’t forget, when she first enrolled, Lonnis studied at the Ancient Academy and had even been bullied by ancient relics.
However, the ancient relics at that time were all relics with lower prestige. The truly dangerous relics were sealed on Ruin Island—which was also the location of the Temple of Clarity, so outsiders were completely prohibited from entering.
But now, Lonnis was not what she used to be.
The Sun Loli Goddess had breakfast with her, so going to Ruin Island would definitely not be a problem.
So, after submitting their application, Lonnis and Elusilla were granted permission and boarded a ship together to Ruin Island.
…
…
“Ladies, this is the map of Ruin Island. Although you can do whatever you want, please try not to activate too many relics at the same time, otherwise it might affect other students.”
“Mm, thank you. Teacher Suzuki.”
…
…
On Ruin Island, there were basically no permanent residents. Most of the order was maintained by mechanical puppets similar to the past Bai Ye.
Therefore, walking here, Lonnis felt somewhat like “strolling in an amusement park.” Different sealed rooms contained different entertainment projects.
And Elusilla also smiled slightly and said, “Mm, Little idiot, which relic do you want to try first? I think these electric white stockings seem like a good thing?”
“Electric white stockings? How can there be such strange things!”
…
Lonnis looked at the map and realized that Elusilla was teasing her.
That was not electric white stockings, but something called electric bandages—this was an A-level relic. As long as it was wrapped around the skin, no matter how severe the injury, it would be healed, but the price was that the entire body would be subjected to electric shocks, and it would feel very painful.
…
“Th-this kind of thing is too strange, isn’t it?”
“So, doesn’t Little idiot want to use it?”
“Mm… at least let’s test it? If it’s really useful, we can also take it to give to others. After all, if someone gets injured, pain is better than death.”
“Mm, then let’s use it in conjunction with this mimic armor later.”
“Mimic armor? What is this thing?!”
“It’s metal armor, you know? But if the armor is all metal, it would be very uncomfortable to wear and would also hurt the skin, so the inside of the mimic armor is filled with many fleshy linings. It feels like lying on fur when you wear it.”
“Isn’t that cursed equipment, then? It’s even stranger!”
“Hmph, it’s supposed to be strange. I can’t wait to see our young girl hero, Lonnis, practicing in full battle gear?”
“Wuwu, Elusilla, I won’t lose…”
…
Although a little scared, Lonnis still mustered her courage and walked towards the relic storage area with Elusilla.
