Chapter 397: The Game of Kings
No matter how long the corridor is, there will be an end to it, although it doesn't seem like a very long corridor and they walked for more than ten minutes.
While lamenting how awesome the owner here is, Barrett finds what they have been looking for.
In the center of the circular hall, a corpse lies on the marble floor.
It was also this corpse that exuded energy fluctuations.
This kind of wave cannot be detected at all, it is like a special signal wave, and only a special person or thing can find it.
"This thing is your own kind?" Barrett didn't rush to approach the headless corpse, he asked.
Kama didn't answer, because she was in a very strange state.
It can't be analyzed, it can't be calculated, and all the transformation tools actually stuck to it like iron filings from a magnet after touching this corpse.
"Don't touch it!" Ace saw that something was wrong, and she found that she couldn't control the transformation tools on her body.
In just an instant, one of Hanyu's arms was gone, and not only that, but the control of the tool was also lost in an instant!
Seeing that the loss of control was getting bigger and bigger, the collapse of the tool soon spread to Hanyu's shoulders.
At this moment, there was a flash of white light, and Barrett's fingers cut off half of Hanyu's shoulder and arm.
It was indeed cut, and it was forcibly cut using energy radiation.
He also realized that something was wrong, even he couldn't control Hanyu's body, let alone reconstitute it, and he couldn't even do basic repairs.
"It's like a virus, so don't touch it." He picked up Hanyu, who had lost half of his body, and retreated into the distance.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the rest of Hanyu's body did not continue to be infected.
"I don't know why, the transformation tool can't continue to work, you guys be careful." Kama's analysis report came, the corpse was not dead, and even it had very strong life energy.
But she couldn't find any matching information, so she could only judge that she should never approach it.
It's not normal to be able to make a tool fail, and it's not normal that it actively attracts a retrofit tool.
As the core, the last thing Kama wants to encounter is the existence that can compete with her for control of the tools.
The danger of this thing is really great, and Barrett is a little tempted to back down.
Until now, it seems that they have gained a very large amount of power, even technology that is simply beyond the reach of humans.
However, these powers are all based on the core of Kama's tool, and if something goes wrong with her, everything, even Hanyu and Ace, will disappear immediately.
So there was a trace of fear in his heart.
In case of............
After cautious observation for a while, all three of them found that although the corpse was very dangerous, fortunately it showed no signs of launching a main attack.
At this moment, the microrobot that had been released by Hanyu to explore its way from the right appeared at the opposite entrance.
Its body was covered in what looked like slime.
"I guess there's some container in between." Hanyu was finally able to stand up, her shoulder finally repaired, and the speed that could be seen with the naked eye was growing.
As the swift robot spread its four mechanical claws and ran as it was about to pass near the corpse, it gradually stopped.
Its mechanical claws seemed to be wrapped in something, and it became harder and harder to open.
After a few more steps, it fell to the ground, and then was reduced to the most basic tool like the previous transformation tool, and the subject was absorbed by the corpse.
The slime attached to the robot was also absorbed.
A series of warning sounds sounded in Barrett's head.
The energy level of the corpse that had absorbed the slime suddenly increased a lot, and Karma suddenly lost her connection to several people in the ring.
Barrett tries to catch Hanyu and Ace, only to find that they can't even guarantee their basic form.
"Let's go! ......Before he finished speaking, Hanyu disappeared like green smoke.
Her body was like dust blown by the wind, and it disappeared in an instant.
Ace only took a few more steps, and she was not spared.
Although he knew in his heart that the two of them could recreate countless of them as long as they had materials, this completely undefensible attack made his face pale.
Like a shockwave, a wave of energy reached Barrett.
At this moment, a white light flashed on Barrett's body, which was the strongest energy level defense that Kama was able to achieve......
Trying to send a high level of energy to Barrett, Karma was doing her best to risk being found by this energy.
Unfortunately, this defense did not work at all, and it was broken through in just two seconds.
Barrett felt a very large amount of energy invade his limbs, and gradually he lost the sensation of his hands and feet, and this energy deprived him of control of his body.
Got off the ............ One last thought flashed through my mind............
Zila............ Zizizi......
There was a faint sound of electricity in my ears.
I don't know how long it took, but Barrett woke up.
Already dead? Looks like I'm back in time.
Sitting up in a daze, he looked around.
There are no familiar images, no cats in sight, only very faint light around.
The cold touch under the hand, this is not a time rift.
The temperature of the marble quickly brought him back to his senses.
"Why is there no light?" Struggling to stand up, Barrett noticed a problem, almost all of the tools in his body were drained.
Thanks to his night vision, which hasn't completely disappeared, he is still able to grope his way forward even if his vision is not very good.
This is the circular hall from before.
There was something hot in his chest, and Barrett noticed a faint glow on his chest.
It's a red blazing phoenix, and it's not being pumped together.
"I don't know why, but you're a lucky little guy." Reaching out and touching the warmth of the armor.
The red armor flickered a faint red light as if it could feel his praise, and then transformed into a half-body armor that reached the knees.
He finally reached the middle of the circular hall, and sure enough, just as he thought, everything was made by the corpse.
It's not here anymore.
"So many tools............ Barrett raised his left hand, the black marks on it were gone.
Tools of this order of magnitude are so huge that they can be completely unleashed and can even fill the space directly.
But all of these tools are gone.
What is the origin of the corpse? Why can it control this tool that is not at all on earth?
I tried to contact Kama, but sure enough, there was no response at all.
She must have been very far away by now, right? Fortunately, there was a little preparation at that time, as long as the corpse didn't catch up with her, everything was not too bad.
Near the periphery, there was a faint sound of electricity, and Barrett followed it.
The place where the sound came from was the same library where the core and books were stored.
The storage cores on the walls have been completely dereposited, and there are flashes of electric sparks in many places.
It looks like someone read the storage cores and then destroyed them.
The glass container in the middle has been shattered, and the brain of Queen Sassou in the middle is no longer there.
That body is Sasu?? No, it's not.
Barrett remembered that the sign of the heart was clearly written, only the internal organs were sealed.
And it didn't see any internal organs missing from the previous corpse, all it lacked was a skull.
"It's useless for a headless corpse to take someone else's brain, right?" Although it was just a guess, Barrett had roughly understood what the guy was going to do.
Walking down the hallway in the direction he came, Barrett noticed that many things along the way had disappeared.
The armor and sword placed in the hallway were nowhere to be found, especially the cabinet where the bracelet was placed was shattered to pieces, and it seemed that it was furious that it had not found the bracelet.
The display case that originally held the heart was broken, and the heart in the middle was not among them.
Apparently it had indeed gone to collect Queen Sassou's entrails, and Barrett sped towards the exit.
Although it was a pity to lose the Black Plague and the Ghost, it was not too bad to save Karma and the two of them.
Walking down to the hall, Barrett finally felt a lot more relieved, because the passage that came here before was not destroyed, which meant that the guy didn't chase Karma.
Just as he was about to leave, Barrett heard the sound of glass shattering.
Left? Walking into the darkness, Barrett found that the wall to the left of the hall they had come from had been destroyed.
That guy is right in front? Barrett hesitated.
Do you want to keep up? Just as he hesitated, his chest emitted a very bright white light as if he sensed something.
Kama? In just an instant, Barrett dismissed this speculation, and Karma's energy was white with a slight blue light, after all, her energy came from nuclear fission.
After thinking for a moment, he realized that he had left the ground, and then a sharp pain came from his throat.
A hand grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air!
"Uh............" struggled to break the hand that was grabbing his throat, only to find a hand grabbing directly at the white light emitted from his chest......
Just as it touched his chest, the white light in his chest trembled, and something spread outward.
The hand stopped, and flew out like a lightning strike.
Barrett was also blown away by the force of the shock when it flew out!
Holding back the pain in his throat, Barrett coughed twice and spat out the blood in his throat.
"Thanks to this thing, this guy is an angel??" He didn't know what was going on, but he noticed that the guy didn't seem to be able to do anything to him.
Resonant Cycle Shield, which can kill its kind, that is, even angels can kill.
Barrett actually had a plan, no matter what this guy was, as long as this shield could have an effect, he would have a chance to take out it.
It's not impossible to snatch back tool plugins.
Standing up and chasing in the direction the guy had fallen, Barrett knew it was best not to give it time to recover.
Inside the destroyed walls, no figure of the guy was found.
But it's not that clues haven't been found, at least the guy is injured.
The trail of water on the ground stretched inside, and it was bleeding.
He fled!
Barrett sped forward.
I saw a blue shadow flashing in front of me, and a figure in a blue cloak ran towards the other side of the corridor.
There was blood on the ground, and Barrett knew that the guy in front of him was the one who had just attacked him.
Rushing out of the hallway, he finally found the cloaked figure.
I saw it sitting on a huge throne, facing Barrett.
It sat there without a head, but Barrett could feel the same sensation as his gaze.
Although the guy tried to hide his arm, Barrett found that his arm was gone.
The elbows and the entire forearm plus the palm of the hand have disappeared.
Although it seems that it is not lightly injured, Barrett is not careless, because this guy not only has the ability to control tools, but also absorbs a large number of tools.
What are the guys in there, and it's not so difficult to repair the body.
But this guy is still a living thing, and it doesn't seem like a non-creature being like Hanyu and them.
Walking towards the throne, Barrett saw the entrails placed in his armor.
It turned out that it was used to house Queen Sassou's entrails.
The heart in the armor's chest was still beating, but the liver and brain were still useless.
The closer she got, Ballet finally saw what was in the middle of the armor, and the liquid-like transformation tools filled the gaps between the internal organs.
It actually used tools to try to resurrect Queen Sassou.
"Who the hell are you?" Barrett asked, looking at the man on the throne.
The headless guy didn't answer, .................. changed his position, and still turned his body at Barrett, as if it was still staring at him.
Unfortunately, tools don't have the means to create a body that can live in symbiosis with living beings, so Sasu doesn't come back to life.
Nothing but the beating heart.
"Looks like your plan has failed." Barrett knelt down on one knee to check the situation in his armor, turned to look at the man on the throne and said.
"............" still did not answer.
At that moment, it raised its remaining hand and pointed its finger at the opposite wall.
There is no sound, but the meaning is very simple, what is on the other side.
Turning and walking that way, Barrett had nothing to worry about now that he knew his plan had failed.
After all, it couldn't do anything about him.
It was a room similar to the previous throne hall, with a large space but no furnishings.
In the hall below the throne, more than a dozen pieces of armor fell to the ground.
Walking in and taking a look, Barrett found that these were just armor, and the bones inside had disappeared due to the passage of time.
The armor surrounds a half-kneeling body of armor.
The armor was propped up on the ground with a two-handed greatsword so that it did not fall.
Maybe it was the shock from Barrett walking in, and the head of the armor fell off.
At this moment, a mental fluctuation rushed into Barrett's mind.
