Blood trickled down the metal ground into a few snaking red snakes, converging into a pool of blood.

Niga was lying on the ground, covered in bruises and blood, and beneath him was a huge mechanical suction cup of equal triangular shape, glowing with a faint blue light, and the huge gravity and traction dragged him to death. The hands and torsos are bound by black heavy alloy rings - this is a special mechanical shackle with a strong energy interference field, and it also uses subspace transformation technology to transfer the energy released by the target, which has a certain forbidden effect on the mage.

At the same time, four pipes protruded from the metal ground on the left and right sides of Niga and inserted into his spine, injecting nanoworms, interfering with his qi flow internally, and causing his nerves to be disordered, affecting his body control.

Niga could barely crane his neck, his blurred vision parallel to the ground, and as far as his eyes could see, the lower limbs of mechanical materials were densely packed around him.

The two sides are now on the surface of a steel fortress, a fortress of mechanical warfare brought by the Machine, which is now littered with battle marks and broken mechanical parts.

The surrounding space coefficient was forced to be constant by the stability instrument of the machine country, and he also arranged a magic jammer to make Niga's teleportation technique ineffective, and Niga had no way to retreat but to fight.

However, in addition to the doppelganger of the "Arrival of the Dominator" of this long-range mechanical force, there are also four apostle weapons, and Niga is not the opponent of this long-range mechanical force, and he is ...... cough, he was seriously injured in the group fight, and at this time, the scepter of the gods had fallen into the hands of the machine country.

"I waited for you to use the Scepter of the Gods, but you never used it, so that's what happened......"

The doppelganger of the Robot Kingdom held the amber that sealed the scepter of the gods, and stroked it carefully, feeling the special energy insulation of the amber material of time and space, and was amazed.

"The Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods dares to rob it, McNison, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Ethereal Spirit Sect?!" Nica gritted his teeth.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in the Scepter of the Gods, just a small favor for the Radiant Federation."

He glanced at Niga and beckoned to the side.

A bright silver mechanical life apostle weapon walked over, its whole body as smooth as a mirror, without any mechanical structure lines.

The apostle's weapon crouched, his fingers turned into spikes, and he inserted it into Niga's back, and then his whole body turned into a liquid state and flowed, and his whole body was injected into Niga's body along the wound.

The next moment, the machine country untied Niga's body, however, the apostle weapon in Niga's body also inhibited his ability to control his body, and he could only glare at the machine country.

"What do you want to do to me?"

"The Radiance Federation asked me to kill you and destroy the evidence, but your body is still useful to me."

The machine throws a compression ball into a bondage pod and locks Niga inside.

Confirming that Niga could not escape, the Robot Kingdom turned around and continued to observe the amber that sealed the Scepter of the Gods, and became very interested.

"Well, this is a very special new material, since Blackstar has the manufacturing method...... I'm going to look for an opportunity to get in touch with it in the future. ”

……

"Lost? Explain to me, what does it mean to be out of touch?! ”

The higher-ups of the Ethereal Spirit Sect soon received the news that Niga, who was supposed to return to the Central Star Sea through the Star Gate, had lost contact not long ago!

This took the bishops by surprise, and they thought that the Niga was out of danger and could bring back the Scepter of the Gods, but they did not expect that there would be an accident when the dust was about to settle.

Now that Niga cannot be contacted, the worst outcome is that he is attacked and killed.

But even if it was attacked, Niga wouldn't even be unable to get the news back, and the Star Gate Monitoring Station of the Ethereal Spirit Sect didn't report anything unusual.

There is only one explanation for this situation...... That is, the attackers had the presence of virtual mechanics, tampering with the data and blocking the communication connection.

The Bishopric immediately thought of the most suspicious Black Star.

However, Han Xiao had only visited the Star Pupil Protoss not long ago, and was on his way back to the headquarters at this time, with an alibi...... However, it is not ruled out that Han Xiao can complete the attack with the help of long-range troops.

"If Black Star is the murderer, is there a mandate from the Red Empire behind it? The empire has already captured the four of us and forced Sisko to apologize publicly, and they are still not satisfied? "Some people wondered.

"The possibility is not high, our two sides are in the process of ransom negotiations, and a preliminary intention has been reached, the empire knows very well that it may not be beneficial to continue to chase and fight, if we take away the scepter of the gods, it will force us to turn the table and turn our faces, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses for them."

"Then could it be that the Black Star is plotting against the Scepter of the Gods, acting privately......"

"Hmm...... If you think about it, this will do more harm than good to Black Star, he has gained a lot this time, there is no need to risk taking the Scepter of the Gods. Even if he took it away, he wouldn't dare to use it, and it would cause trouble if he held it in his hand, and the only way was to hand it over to the empire...... But so far, Blackstar's personality shows that he is not an adventurous person, and his cooperation with the empire is still in the honeymoon period, and he will not risk such things behind the empire's back. ”

The Bishopric's brow furrowed, and by all indications, it was not like the Empire and the Black Star.

Could it be those forces that are eyeing in the shadows fishing in troubled waters?

To be able to intercept Niga, two prerequisites need to be met, one is to have a strong intelligence network in the Shattered Star Ring, so that Niga's whereabouts can be locked, and the other is to have super A-level combat power and super A-level virtual mechanics, so that they can defeat Niga quietly.

After thinking about it, another goal that satisfies these two conditions comes to mind.

The bishopric was taken aback.

"Could it be...... Radiant Federation?! ”

The Shattered Star Ring is the territory of the Radiant Federation, and it seems that the Radiant Federation is not interested in this star field, but the intelligence network secretly arranged is definitely not to be underestimated, and it has been operating here for many years, although it is not obvious, but the intelligence ability is likely to exceed that of the Red Empire, which has not been in the field for many years.

The Red Empire didn't find Niga's whereabouts, but the Radiant Federation did, so it makes sense.

The bishopric's face turned pale, and the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they felt the Radiant Federation.

When they lent the high-dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter, the group of Sun thieves had the purpose of fishing in troubled waters.

With this defeat, their Ethereal Spirit Sect's super A-level combat power has been damaged a lot, and the relationship with the Red Empire is also tense, which is an excellent opportunity for the Radiant Federation.

Only then did the Bishops' Order realize that the troops they had sent out this time had been completely wiped out, and a mouthful of old blood was blocked in his throat and almost spurted out.

Radiant Federation, your uncle's!

At this moment, the virtual screen of the conference table appeared, showing the Leader's command:

"Stabilize the Red Empire first and redeem the Super A-level allies...... After that, we will negotiate with the Radiant Federation. ”

The bishopric looked at each other, their eyes revealing helplessness and depression.

Yesterday they thought that the Scepter of the Gods was coming back, but today they received bad news, and this sense of falling from heaven to hell made them uncomfortable.

It's a failure.

Without evidence, the Radiant Federation will not recognize it, and the other party is also a force at the same level, and people will not be threatened, let alone be afraid of toughness......

Now it can only be like this, after stabilizing the empire, I will come back to fight with the Radiant Federation.

……

Radiant Federation home star.

President Badr put down his communicator and smiled at the elders in the room.

"McNison has succeeded, and the Scepter of the Gods is ours."

Hearing this, everyone present showed a smug smile of the successful people.

The Chief Elder paused for his crutches and exclaimed, "As one of the strongest Ancients, the Nation of Machines is as reliable as ever. ”

Badr nodded with a smile, the Weapon Country has always been his valued ally, not only because of the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Weapon Country, but also because the long-range troops of the Machinery Country are elusive and can get rid of surveillance and complete many secret operations.

"The Ethereal Sect may be suspicious of the Empire, or they may guess that we did it, but they have no evidence, and besides, they will not tell the outside world about the theft of the Scepter of the Gods."

"According to the intelligence, the way to use the Pantheon Scepter is very simple, but we don't have the corresponding technical repair, but it can also be used as a hole card with a limited number of uses, and it has lethal power against Super A-level...... Ahem, as long as you don't use it in front of the Black Star. ”

"Although it may have angered the Ethereal Spirit Sect, but this time we got the Wanshen Scepter, we made a lot of money, not only took away the Ethereal Spirit Sect's killer weapon to deal with the super A-level, but this is also a bargaining chip for the interests of the Ethereal Spirit Sect."

Many of the council elders were smiling and gossiping.

"The machine country said that the Wanshen Scepter was sealed with a special material, and when he returns, I will let the scientific research institute crack it."

Badr smiled calmly in his tone, not taking the so-called seal to heart.
