Chapter 1051 The Shadow of Light
"Why have I never heard of this before?"
Wochi asked in shock. It had been by Horilogi's side since birth and could never imagine that there were things in the Clockwork Realm that it did not recognize.
Horilogi couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, I've had this thing for a long time, it's much older than you."
"What? He's older than me?"
Wojci was even more shocked.
"Yes, this mechanical structure is too complex. I don't even know how it works. What I can confirm now is that it contains elements of light and darkness, as well as some others."
"The Clock Trial Officers used it to create their clocks, which is probably why they disappeared."
Horilogi said slowly.
As the two were talking, the clockwork mechanism expanded and contracted at an increasingly faster rate until it was fully activated, and the soaring energy enveloped them.
Fortunately, Horilogi was not a researcher who was completely incapable of fighting. Gears appeared behind him, and as they turned, they protected him and Wochi behind him.
However, it turned out that Horilogi was only better than the average researcher, and still couldn't compare to the civilian official of a certain M87. The price of blocking this attack was that he overdrawn all his energy, and it was only a matter of time before he fell into a coma.
After releasing this energy, the remaining complex energy of the Clockwork Machine became clearly distinct, consisting of supernatural and holy energy.
The super-powerful and light-based energies were stored in the central clock, while the holy spirit and shadow powers transformed into two clouds, one gold and one purple, that enveloped the clock.
Then, like a fine hunting dog, Disbord came running after smelling the scent.
Horilogi couldn't help but ask Disbord again about the origin and details of the clockwork mechanism.
Disbord still claimed ignorance, so Horilogi had no choice but to settle for second best, asking Disbord to help him restore the disturbed clock collection on the grounds that he had brought the clock-breaking machine.
"The clock collection has four clocks. You just need to restore them to their original state, but turning the hands requires considerable strength. Please help me..."
As soon as Horilogi finished speaking, he fainted without warning.
Disbord smiled helplessly, but what could he do when he had gotten himself into this mess? He had no choice but to try to restore the four clocks in the clock collection.
After some time, Horilogie recovered, and Disbord successfully restored the clock collection to its original state, and the two resumed their discussions.
"Now that things have come to this, I can't hide it any longer, so I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I don't know anything either."
Horilogi was speechless.
"Simply put, you currently know nothing about the origin of this machine, the reason for its sudden startup, or the content displayed inside it!"
"Don't look so serious. I'll tell you, okay? I really didn't expect this machine to work. I thought someone was lying to me."
“I’m not entirely sure about the origin of the machine, but I have no objection to your claim that it was created by a more advanced civilization using more sophisticated technology.”
"As for why it suddenly started, I think it was because someone or something appeared and it started."
Disbord had a bold guess in his mind.
"What has appeared?"
"Look at what's displayed on the machine."
"What does light and darkness have to do with each other? There have to be two people."
"Yes, I did mention Shinra to you, didn't I? Perhaps the God of Light, who corresponds to the God of Night, has descended."
Suddenly, the two noticed that the clockwork mechanism, which had been incredibly active just moments before, seemed to gradually stop.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Driven by their intense curiosity about the unknown, Horilogie and Disbord were eager to restart it.
After a detailed discussion, Disbold concluded that the clock mechanism must have run out of power.
The method to drive the clockwork mechanism is likely to inject more light and dark energy, since these energies already exist in the clockwork mechanism.
Horilogi was initially hesitant, but eventually agreed after being persuaded by Disbord.
Although neither of them are light-type or shadow-type spirits, as researchers, they have no shortage of various energies.
After the two of them poured all their light and shadow energies into the clock, the dormant clock started running again.
This time, the operation was far more intense than the last, with the forces of light and darkness swirling within a vortex of a storm.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the two vaguely saw two blurry silhouettes, one black and one white, one male and one female, one righteous and one evil.
"I can see it now, and it's becoming clearer and clearer."
Disbord and Horilogie exclaimed in unison, but before they could take a closer look, wisps of black smoke billowed out from inside the clock mechanism.
With a deafening roar, the clockwork mechanism, like a young man who had wandered into a widow's village, completely broke down.
Because the process was so fast, neither of them saw clearly what had just happened, and it was unlikely that they could repair the clock and extinguish the machine.
Fortunately, Disbord has a way to recall past scenes through meditation.
Through meditation, Disbord clearly saw the image that the clock had just projected.
Besides the two silhouettes, one black and one white, countless dense words emerged from them.
After some analysis, Disbold arrived at the following four words:
"Slaying the Order of Gods", "God of Light", "Endless Reincarnation", "Battle of Light and Darkness" - but if you're careful, you can also get "King of the Limitless Stars".
Unfortunately, even with just these few words, the two were still completely baffled. Just as Disbord was about to take the clockwork away, Horilogi suddenly noticed that a few lines of small text had appeared on it, seemingly only after it was activated.
The clock-based detection method detects things outside the "world".
The two were overjoyed and hoped to find a way to repair the clock mechanism, but luck did not smile on them this time.
Although the small print is still there, it says that the clockwork mechanism needs to be activated by injecting equal amounts of light and dark power, and that the clockwork mechanism will be completely destroyed if the amounts are not equal.
Horilogi and Disbord had to give up for the time being, but they were still trying to find other ways to fix the clock.
Some time later, Disbord noticed that someone had touched the Kuremus he had sealed away. Before saying goodbye to Horilogi, he promised to tell the other person everything he knew later.
……
In the Linger Galaxy, there is an area shrouded in holy light, where a colossal temple stands.
The temple is a huge dome, with white as the main color and gold as the secondary color, and is surrounded by pillars that pierce the sky.
At the center of the temple stands an altar engraved with intricate patterns, with two staircases extending from below to the central altar.
This place is called Eternal Radiance, and it is clearly the territory of the Light faction.
