1269, Halo War (29)

Unknown location.
The huge meteorite carried the three "people" all the way to the unknown destination, pulling the stars on both sides into a slender streamer.
This kind of scene through the "Mass Effect Channel" is familiar to everyone, but the strange thing is that they have just been in the ground, and they still dug the pit with their own hands.
"This is [subspace]." While Kaos and Kdorie were still looking left and right in confusion, Naia came to a conclusion first.
"Don't be funny, haven't any of us used [Subspace]? That's not what it looks like there," Kelly pouted, "Even if the scenery is different from one landing site to another, it's impossible to have a normal way of moving through space like a 'Mass Effect Tunnel'." β
"Therefore, this is not an ordinary [subspace], but a [private subspace] that belongs to that giant worm, in other words, you may be able to understand: [Annihilation Realm], [Fleeting Illusion] and [Inherent Enchantment]." Naia said, shaking her hair.
"To put it simply, we're trapped in some kind of real fantasy by that big guy, right?" Kaos concluded: "Will you play? Three strikes and one can be counter-killed. β
"This wave of self-blackening is full of marks." Victory gave him a thumbs up.
"In terms of combat effectiveness, it is certainly not our opponent, and it is impossible to shake our will, but this time it has directly 'wrapped' us with its huge will, and ordinary means really can't get out."
"What then? I don't know about the two of you, but I've been in subspace for a long time, and my body will directly coma and become vegetative. At this point, Kaos realized that he hadn't heard the girls who were close to [that] for a long timeβNaia didn't count.
"Hmm...... If nothing else, you should be able to go back after reading the 'past' displayed here," Naia smug face: "If it were an ordinary person, if you didn't see the scenery here, you would probably be crazy, and the human will is really fragile." β
"So you can't let this guy wake up...... Wait, you say 'past'? Kaos turned his head to look in the direction of the meteorite.
"Because the intensity of mental pollution is too high, the content is not important, so it's really unprofessional to leave its past experience here, if it were me-"
"I don't want to hear what kind of illusion you're trying to create!"
As Kaos decisively interrupted Naia to talk about her thoughts, the light of the Mass Effect tunnel began to appear in front of her approaching destination.
ββββ
Buzz - boom boom -
Theoretically, there is no sound out of the Mass Effect channel, but whoever makes this a fantasy for someone else, it thinks there is, then there is.
"This ...... Where did aliens come from so boring? Kaos looked at what appeared in front of him, momentarily surprised.
It was a bare galaxy with no planetary moons or asteroid belts, just nine massive, ring-shaped artifacts in orbit around the stars.
As Kaos began to ponder the significance of the construction of these rings, the meteorite beneath his feet cracked.
No, it should be said that it is "stretched" open.
What he "underfoot" was not a meteorite at all, but a giant sand demon worm curled up in a ball, its skin had turned to gray-white rock, and it looked somewhat like a centipede.
It stretched its body as it adjusted its stance and flew towards the nearest annular artificial object.
In the process, Kaos, Naia, and Kodory kept their distance from the giant worm at all times, and even though the place under their feet was severely deformed, they did not shake in the slightest.
Obviously, they only have consciousness here, and can and can only observe what is happening here.
"If our ratio to this guy is correct, then it has grown a lot in the years since." Naia looked at the giant insect that was becoming more and more hideous "under her feet", thoughtfully.
"The image here is supposed to be a scene of its infancy, and we may be able to find its weaknesses in it." Kaos began to look the giant worm's torso up and down.
"It's useless to see it, who knows how it has changed over the years," Kerry looked at the annular objects from afar: "No, this is not a real space, and the owner of the space can't see it clearly if he doesn't show us something." β
"So we ...... Uh-oh! The otherwise stable "Meteorite Giant Bug" swayed and landed on the nearest ring, and Kaos spread his hand to keep his balance for a moment, only to realize that he had no signs of falling.
"Wow, who built the zoo here?" Kerry didn't pay attention to Kaos, just staring at the giant ring that was close at hand.
Its outer layer is a metal structure, but the inner layer is a lithosphere with an entire ecosystem, and at least hundreds of strange animals live on it.
"Maybe it's the prototype of 'Planet Gaia'?" Naia guessed, "I think we can see it get to the lizard aliens here." β
Boom Boom!
With flames piercing through the atmosphere, the giant insect landed on the inside of the ring in a posture that did not know whether it landed or fell.
What happened next was like a documentary being fast-forwarded.
The "Meteorite Giant Bug" quickly occupied a place in the ring with its size and combat effectiveness, and then began to reproduce offspring and expand its territory.
Their cries were shrill and piercing, and the rough sounds of "Kaz~Kaz~" were subsequently named "Kaz" by Naia, and Kaos highly suspected that Naia had done it on purpose, but there was no evidence for the time being.
Just as he began to wonder if the "Mother Kaz" had gone to conquer the universe because she had taken over all these rings and had nowhere to develop, the sand devils evolved intelligence.
They began to dress themselves, burrow into herd-friendly caves, and even elected leaders who resembled tribal chiefs, as if they were about to move towards civilization.
But the next moment, those "exoskeleton lizardmen" appeared on a battleship, and they did not hesitate to kill all the "Kaz", no matter how big or small.
Eventually, the Kaz Motherworm, who had fallen back into a slumber due to the success of her family, awoke in anger and engaged in a fierce and brief battle with the exoskeleton lizardmen.
The battle was inconclusive, and when the two sides were deadlocked, the exoskeleton lizardmen fled in a hurry, and the Kaz mother chased after her in anger, chasing her all the way to a Mass Effect repeater.
Just as the new battle was about to begin, the nine giant rings simultaneously sparked crimson lightning bolts, which connected to each other and spread all the way to the mass repeater, and the exoskeleton lizardmen fleet panicked and forcibly started jumping, and the Kaz mother worm naturally had to interfere with all its might.
Eventually, the crimson lightning swept by, and the lizardman fleet, the Kaz motherworm, and the mass effect repeater were all shrouded in it, and the final image in the illusion was that the lightning activated the mass effect repeater, and teleported the lizardman fleet and the Kaz mother worm together before almost completely destroying it, the lizardman fleet did not know how, and the Kaz mother worm plunged headlong into the ground of a new Gaia planet with a lot of scars.

The illusion ends, and Kaos, Kdorry, and Naia reappear in the underground passages.
"Hmm...... Are we bullying the lonely elderly? Kaos scratched his head.
"Anyway, it didn't drive us crazy, it has already lost, so let it continue to sleep in its own dreams." Kerry said viciously.
