Ancient star desert, somewhere in the barren cosmic belt, cloud magnetar.

This is one of the church settlements of the Mechanica, the ground is yellow-black, and the heavy bases with the style of the Mechanicus are rooted on the surface, neatly arranged, forming a circular industrial city, surrounded by open-pit mines and countless large industrial cranes. The city's streets were flattened gray in all directions, and convoys of transport vehicles whizzed by, passing the heavily armored pedestrians on both sides of the street.

In the center of the ring is a mountain that rises from the ground, truncated in the middle into a platform, and sits the cluster of mechanical temples, with a floating island floating above it, emitting a soft artificial light.

There are many mechanics cultists, many internal factions, loose management, and wandering, generally with the high priest and various bishops as the core, gathering a group of sects of different factions to form a fleet, looking for planets in the universe and constantly migrating. The goal is to excavate the planet's minerals and underground mechanical debris, hoard or sell, so most of the planets where the Mechanicus Cult is entrenched are just temporary strongholds, a bit of a wandering sect.

The number of fixed strongholds of the Cult of the Mechanicus is small, some are branches of different factions, some are long-term colonies of cultists like Magnetus, and holy places recognized by all believers.

And now, the blue-black sky dome of the cloud magnetus hovered the heavy fleets of the three major civilizations, but the cultists on the surface were not surprised, occasionally glanced up, lowered their heads and continued to do what they should do.

The three major civilizations have already greeted the Cult of the Mechanica, this kind of loose organization of a religious nature has always been difficult to manage, and the three civilizations do not trust the Cult of the Mechanica's execution of orders, so they simply send fleets to station it as a trap node.

At this moment, on the open-air platform at the top of the mechanical temple, the archpriest in the bishop's armor looked up at the fleet in the sky and whispered to himself.

Seeing this, the priest next to him stepped over and asked, "Great priest, are you worried about the fleets of the three major civilizations?" ”

The high priest shook his head: "We are just a civil association, abide by the law, and have little intersection with the three major civilizations, they will not do anything to us, I am glad that the three major civilizations are here." ”

"Rejoice?"

"Yes, since the outbreak of the intelligent plague, the fanatics in the sect have increased day by day, not only secretly studying the virtual mutiny virus, but even wanting to spread it, which goes against the original intention of the neutrality of the Cult of the Mechanical God, their distorted beliefs will bring disaster to the sect, and now the three major civilization fleets have come and indirectly suppressed those fanatics." The Grand Priest muttered.

Looking back now, his heart still weighs a little.

After the three major civilizations developed the anti-virus trio, there were even some fanatics who played the banner of "promoting divine revelation", wanting to improve the virus and crack the anti-virus trio, so as to continue to maintain the intelligent plague, insisting that this was a great intelligent revolution.

So he had no choice but to send out the Apologetics and lock them up, but the idea was still there, and it still spread in the settlement.

"Well, maybe." The priest paused, and said in confusion: "I still don't understand what the three major civilizations are doing when they temporarily expropriate our settlements. ”

"It seems to be about the operation of the intelligent plague, and I don't know much about it......" The archpriest shook his head.

Before he could finish his sentence, the radar built into the armor suddenly reacted.

"An anomaly in the planet's magnetic field was detected, resulting in eddy currents, and the coordinates were ......"

The Grand Priest was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head with his companion next to him to look in the direction of the magnetic field vortex.

The magnetic field of the cloud magnetar is very special, and the armor of the Mechanicus cultists here has a special monitor for the magnetic field, and at this time, all the radar reports are heard, and the pedestrians on the street stop and look in the same direction.

Everyone switched to the electromagnetic induction vision, the flow of the magnetic field was clearly visible, and they saw the sky in the distance, the electromagnetic field seemed to form a tornado, and a dazzling arc was born out of thin air, which was rapidly forming an energy field.

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Thundered

I saw dazzling meteors flying out of the fleets of the three major civilizations in outer space, rapidly falling towards the direction of the electromagnetic field vortex.

Although these meteors are not large, they all emit amazing energy fluctuations, dragging out dazzling electric light trails, which persist in the retina for a long time, bringing a muffled thunderous momentum, like the collapse of the canopy.

"What's that?!"

Including the Great Priest, the Mechanicus Cultists of Cloud Magnetus were all shocked.

And at this moment, this batch of meteors had already arrived at the location of the electromagnetic field vortex, and they all stopped, dissipating the firelight all over their bodies, revealing the appearance of mechanical bodies, all of which were the dominant clones of various super A-level mechanics.

The leader of the Manison moved the fastest, only to see him raise his eyes and stare at him, the electromagnetic eddy current immediately stopped for a moment, and then he raised his hand to grab it, and the central arc field was taken by him through the air, and all of it was submerged into a miniature triangular container the size of a head.

In the next moment, the abnormal electromagnetic vortex phenomenon disappeared, as if the wind and rain had disappeared and the sky was clear, as if the electromagnetic tornado just now was just an illusion.

"Those are the juggernaut clones of the super A-class mechanic?!"

Seeing this scene, although they didn't know what was happening, the mechanic god cultists were instantly excited.

In their eyes, the appearance of so many super A-level mechanics is no less than the arrival of gods.

However, before they could be pleasantly surprised, the situation on the field changed drastically again.

I saw that the other super A-level juggernaut clones who were one step behind shot at McNison at the same time, and raising their hands was a backstab.

Bang bang bang!!

The light exploded in midair, reflecting on the eyes of countless Mechanicacultists.

In the next second, McNison's juggernaut clone flew out of the explosion, and then was surrounded by everyone, confronting each other.

Seeing this, a look of surprise and surprise flashed through the pupils of each disciple.

This group of super A-class mechanics is going to fight here? Aren't we involved in a "god war"?!

……

Rewind the clock to ten seconds.

Among the three major civilization fleets in Magnetostar's outer space, there are mechanical units of different mechanics suspended, and some of them defend their respective master clones.

At the moment when the core of the virus broke away from the quantum network, everyone's dominant consciousness chased after them, and the eyes of a mechanical body suddenly lit up.

"The target is locked!"

As soon as Han Xiao arrived, the sound of the detection radar sounded in his ears.

At the same time, a black shadow fell not far away, it was McNison's doppelganger, the entity that rushed to the core of the virus.

"The old thing is so fast!"

This thought flashed through his mind with the lightning and flint, and Han Xiao was about to use the skill, but found that the Void Leap and other flash abilities were all unusable.

His eyes froze, and he immediately understood something, and without delay, he immediately followed him and fell to the ground, followed by a succession of meteors, all of which were other people's clones or troops.

Bang!

The group passed through the atmosphere back and forth, flying at high speed and rubbing a layer of flame cloak.

Han Xiao stared at the target tightly, and the electromagnetic vortex quickly magnified in his line of sight, and the distance narrowed in an instant.

As soon as the core of the virus broke away from the quantum network, it was inducing a magnetic field and converging electromagnetic energy to shape its body, when it found a group of super A-class master clones approaching, and it immediately gave up its materialization and fled back into the vision of the quantum network.

However, in an instant, McNison's eyes erupted with a strong electric light, and he preemptively launched the [Supreme Virtual]!

Airplanes!!

The virtual soul at the core of the virus was instantly suppressed, unable to get out of the shell that had not yet been fully formed.

McNison moved smoothly without the slightest pause, quickly took out the special containment device, and sucked the core of the virus in.

This container is specially made to contain the ability of the virus core to achieve perfect containment, as long as it is caught, the virus core will never be able to escape.

"Old Maitou has succeeded!"

Han Xiao's eyes shrank.

But in the next moment, the other juggernaut clones that followed him attacked at the same time, and a highly concentrated beam of light grazed his body and went straight to McNison's back.

Bang bang bang!

McNison had expected it, and layers of shields appeared, blocking everyone's fire, and suddenly there was a violent explosion.

With the help of this thrust, he quickly pulled away and turned to face the group, holding the container containing the core of the virus in his hand.

The crowd gathered around and confronted McNison.

"Be careful, if you destroy the container, then my efforts will be in vain."

McNison was not angry at all, and said lightly.

Descendant of the Radiant Federation, Rama, the town guard, said in a deep voice: "McNison, turn in the core of the virus, you know very well that this kind of thing cannot be spread. ”

The remote projection of Sid Ruon and the other responsible persons was generated next to him, and his tone was serious: "Yes, Your Excellency of the Machinery Country, you are a reasonable person, and our three major civilizations will definitely reward you for your first merit in capturing the core of the virus, but this thing is definitely not allowed to remain in the hands of others." ”

"Hehe, don't be so nervous, when I'm done researching, I will not only hand in the core of the virus, but also share the technology I have analyzed."

McNison was casual and unhurried.

Han Xiao didn't speak, looked around, and nodded secretly, he had already expected the current situation.

In the previous life, someone intercepted the virus core, which should have been quietly obtained, but the current situation is completely different, the virus core is a hot potato, no matter which mechanic succeeds, he will immediately face a dilemma, and be targeted by other mechanics, and the three major civilizations will inevitably ask for it in public.

Battleships are not helpful in capturing the core of the virus, so why do the three major civilizations deploy fleets at trap nodes? Obviously, this is not to deal with the virus core, but to deal with them super A-level mechanics!

The juggernaut clones present basically have short-range jump ability, and Han Xiao even has a void flash, but no one uses it, precisely because the fleet activated the space-time stability anchor at the trap node early, prohibiting the jump flash and preventing anyone from running away.

It is precisely because the space-time around the magnetar has been imprisoned that McNison will stay here to fight, otherwise he will jump away and disappear the moment he succeeds.

Want to leave with the core of the virus...... You can only play out!

However, although the three civilizations and other mechanics tried to take the core of the virus, they were afraid of destroying the container, so they were more restrained even if they attacked secretly.

The three major civilizations hope to get back the core of the virus from McNison through negotiations, and are even mentally prepared for the other side to sit on the ground and raise prices.

"Weapon country, the virtual mutiny virus is a strategic weapon technology that can threaten the entire universe, only the three major civilizations will control it will not be a hidden danger, we do not allow any risks to exist, so today no matter what, we have to get the core of the virus, you should understand the seriousness of this problem."

The head of the Void Spirit Sect's Inspector spoke resolutely.

McNison didn't respond immediately, but glanced at the clones of the other mechanics and spoke slowly:

"See, whoever gets the core of the virus will face such a situation, do you still want to continue to snatch it?"

"To be honest, I'm not that interested in the core of the virus, after all, I'm not a virtual mechanic...... But, I don't mind trading this chip for more goodies. Kant smiled.

"Don't look at me, as long as I get the core of the virus, I can be free again, and now I'm on the side of the ethereal spirit." Fransco said.

"Whenever you have the opportunity, you have to go for it...... Teacher, you taught me this. Mornisa, the Queen of Machines, spoke calmly.

Everyone has expressed their opinions, and although the reasons are different, they all express their determination to win.

In the end, McNison's gaze stayed on Han Xiao.

"Blackstar, what about you?"

Han Xiao didn't answer directly, but instead raised his tone and played with taste: "You asked around, it's not just a casual chat, are you stalling for time, or are you looking for an ally temporarily?" ”

Hearing this, McDison immediately smiled.

"Blackstar, you still know me......

That's right, I need an ally to accompany me to deal with this tricky situation, you and I both understand the situation of the super A-class, we are people on the same front, I research the virtual mutiny virus technology, not only because of the simple pursuit of technology, but also to fight for a guarantee for the super A-level, if you are willing to help me, I don't mind if you and I study this technology together. ”

When the words fell, everyone's eyes looked at Han Xiao, curious, vigilant, and joking.

Han Xiao was indifferent and said casually:

"Sounds good, but I think you're going to break your word."

"Hehe, you may not believe me, but I need someone to accompany me to take this risk, and it is more in my interest for two people to control this technology, so I won't break my promise this time."

"Tsk, there is no basis for empty words, no matter how nice it sounds, it is useless."

"And how do you want me to prove it?"

Han Xiao pointed to the container in McNison's hand and smiled lightly:

"Since you are willing to study together, then any of us will take the virus core the same, you give me the device, I will take the risk, and you will help me break through, so that I will believe in your sincerity, otherwise you are deceiving my feelings."

"I'm fine, it's just that when something comes into your hands, are you willing to study it together? How can I be sure you won't break the contract? McNison asked rhetorically.

"Just like you just said, one person is too big to be a big man, and I also need a shield." Han Xiao spread his hands.

McNison was silent for a few seconds, and only when the atmosphere became more and more calm did he speak slowly, and his attitude suddenly surprised everyone.

"In that case...... Why not leave it to you? ”
