Chapter 282: The Storm of the Skuru Empire (4)
The light was dim underground, and Johnny's hands burst into flames, illuminating the space.
The Skrull turned his head in surprise, nodded without saying anything, and motioned to follow him.
Not long after turning left and right, the guy came to an iron door and twisted it open.
A cool breeze blows in, and behind the iron gate is a neon-filled underground city, under which a floating boat is parked.
Li Mo jumped up without saying a word, and just as Captain America and the others hesitated, there seemed to be a rumbling vibration in the distance.
"Hurry up, the guards may conduct a large-scale search at any time!" The Skrull hurriedly reminded.
The crowd no longer hesitated and jumped up, but when the stone man jumped up as well, the float lost its center of gravity and whirled against the wall.
"Holy!"
Li Mo's doppelganger has extraordinary qualities, so he was the first to jump out and pick up the wall. Then came the thunderbolts that flew out, the elongated Reed, the skilled American team, and even the somewhat bulky Luke Cage stuck his arms against the wall to stabilize his body.
The stone man was stunned and fell with the airship down the brightly lit underground city, and smashed through several protruding eaves before stopping...
The Skrull seemed a little dumbfounded, and only after Li Mo's repeated reminders did he quickly use the communicator to contact his organization.
The energy of this mysterious organization seems to be not small, and almost instantaneously another airship was mobilized, and there was a special person in charge of salvaging the stone people, and there were also guards in charge of cover.
The new airship carried Li Mo and they flew deeper into the dungeon, through lively and chaotic areas, and finally came to a place that resembled a homeless relief center.
It's an underground-vaulted hall guarded by shabby-clad but calm-eyed Skruls.
"Welcome, Venerable Interstellar Powerhouse Mr. Li Mo, my name is Dores." A woman slowly turned.
She has a completely different appearance from the Skrulls, with pink skin, golden pupils, and two antennae on her forehead.
"The Kotati people..."Li Mo was a little strange, "Aren't you already extinct?" ”
No wonder Li Mo was surprised, this race was involved in the grudge between Skrull and the Kree Empire.
Long ago, when the Cree were natives of the Great Magellanic system, the Skrulls had built a vast empire.
At the time, the Skrulls were far less aggressive than they are today, trying to nurture a civilization from the Big Magellanic system that they could be friends with.
They picked two races on the planet Hara at the time, the Kree and the Kotati, and held a trial.
The situation at that time was not known to outsiders due to its age, except that in the end, Skuru chose the Kotati.
Enraged, the Kree wiped out the Kotati overnight, and when the Skuru came again, the Kree attacked them.
At that time, the Skrulls were not very martial, and they were all wiped out on the spot. The Kree were given the spaceship and used it as an opportunity to begin learning about the Skuru civilization.
The Skuru parent didn't know about it, thinking that the team had been shipwrecked. It wasn't until many years later that the Kree had also built up a large force and began to attack the Skrull Empire with some intention in mind, so a protracted battle broke out between the two sides.
By now, it has become a complete mess.
"Looks like you know a lot." The Kotathi woman smiled and said, "The wise Emperor Dorec helped us find the last trace of blood out of guilt, and then we served the royal family for generations. ”
"I'm not interested in the affairs of your race." Li Mo shook his head, "What do you want us to do?" ”
"Cooperation!"
Dores replied, "You have come all the way to save your companions, we know the location, and the same people who are holding us there. ”
"This reason is insincere." Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, "Although I am very grateful for your warning, we must find out who you want to save and make it clear who you are!" ”
Doris hesitated for a moment and closed his mouth, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little frozen.
"I'll tell you."
A tall, muscular Skrul walked through the doorway, and it was none other than Karthus, the warlord.
"I'm a super Skrull named Kaltus who has been genetically modified from your Earth." Carter said as he shifted several of the Fantastic Four's abilities.
"Susan!" Reed exclaimed and tried to rush up.
Li Mo stopped him and shook his head, then looked at Carter and motioned to continue.
"Our organization is called the Dawn Star, and they are descendants of the royal guards. After the destruction of the imperial capital of Tanakos by the Devourer of Planets, the entire Skrull Empire fell into chaos. Our goal is to find the royal bloodline and put an end to the turmoil in the Skuru Empire. ”
Carter looked at the crowd and continued, "Your friend is being held in the Academy of Sciences in the Golden Crown Plains, and we have been informed that the last vestige of royal blood is hidden there. ”
"The Golden Crown Plains is the heart of the Duke of Brent's family, and the defenses there are unprecedentedly strong, so we need your strength."
Li Mo touched his chin, looked at Doris and Carter with sincere faces, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I agree to cooperate." ”
"Good." A smile finally appeared on Carter's serious face, "Here's my plan..."
With Carter's explanation, Li Mo and the others finally have a certain understanding of this planet.
The warlord alliance formed by Duke Brent is not monolithic, and some of them have already joined the Dawn Star with royal hearts in mind.
Carter's plan is to launch a raid on the Golden Crown Plains in a day's time, when the warlords belonging to the Dawn Star will create chaos on the planet's periphery to hold the starfleet in tow, and there will be large-scale conflicts around the globe.
Li Mo and Carter wanted to break through the defenses of the Golden Crown Plains as quickly as possible and enter the underground academy to save people.
As soon as the people are rescued, the Dawn Star will quickly issue an accusation against Duke Brende to the entire empire, and evacuate them safely...
After discussing the details of the operation in detail, Li Mo and his party entered the lounge under Dores's arrangement.
"Do you trust these guys?"
Black Widow Natasha asked Li Mo as soon as she entered the door.
Li Mo didn't answer immediately, first scanned the surroundings with a nano terminal and found no monitors, and then pouted and said, "Part of it is true, but they definitely hide the most important information." ”
"A royal bloodline that has been imprisoned for an unknown number of years may have multiplied for countless generations. Why do they believe that by rescuing people, they can end the turmoil in a galaxy? ”
Captain America Steve frowned, "Then are we still going to follow their plan?" ”
"Why not?" Li Mo smiled, "Don't we also have the same hiding, they don't know that Lao Tzu is a soft-footed shrimp now." Moreover, the magic array that my two mages have built in advance, as long as they rescue Susan and them, they will immediately slap their butts and leave. ”
The others looked at each other and didn't say anything more, in this situation of being trapped in the enemy camp, it seemed that only Li Mo's method was the safest.
"Hope everything goes well." Thunderbolt Johnny couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest.
…
A day later,
Runal seemed to be as calm as ever.
After dinner, it is the traditional time for the Skrulls to pray at the temple.
This ancient empire had a fanatical religious atmosphere, and the teachings of the gods were full of tyranny and aggression, abandoning all cultural entertainment, and the only group activity was bloody gladiatorial fighting.
Religious activities have been deeply embedded in the blood of ordinary people, and every day after dinner there is a long prayer service, and the star-studded temples are so crowded that even the many guards dare not miss the prayers.
In a temple, many devotees were turning their hearts to the sky, their foreheads pressed to the ground, and their mouths were quickly reciting prayers. Just as they were fully engaged, a small cylinder-like thing suddenly rolled out of one person's arms, and then a large amount of green hypnotic gas erupted, and a large number of people staggered and fell.
When there were accidents in temples everywhere, many military factories suddenly exploded, and all kinds of robots that arrived were completely paralyzed by electromagnetic bombs, so a large number of security personnel were embarrassed.
At the same time, a large number of super-electromagnetic shockwave bombs were suddenly sprayed from the planet and several interstellar fortresses on the outskirts of the galaxy, and before the other fleet personnel could react, blue ripples spread to the entire fleet.
All the electronic systems failed, and the shock wave even caused the explosion of many spacecraft power furnaces. Red sirens sounded everywhere, and the entire fleet was paralyzed.
Not far from the Golden Crown Plain, Carter turned off the communicator and said to Li Mo: "This is the limit of what we can do, soon the Duke's subordinates will be able to restore order, and then all those who are exposed will face a brutal purge, and we only have half an hour." ”
At this time, the Golden Crown Plain has completely changed its appearance, a large number of green vegetation automatically lifted, countless robots more than 20 meters high, armed to the teeth, stood up, and at the same time from the lake rose a huge automatic laser railgun, the entire plain underground is actually full of superb mechanical structure.
"It's up to you now." Carter said to Li Mo: "Only absolute strength can break through this defense, your battle video gives me confidence, use that terrifying tentacle quickly!" ”
Li Mo shook his head, "I don't need to make a move in this kind of small scene." ”
Carter was stunned when he heard this, it's such a time, what kind of strong demeanor do you play?
As soon as he was about to say something, he saw Li Mo say to a girl next to him, "Skye, it's up to you." ”
Skye nodded, took a deep breath and walked up.
Carter's pupils shrank, could it be that this girl is also an interstellar powerhouse?
Skye first took out a strong pill given by Li Mo and put it in his mouth, and then made a full posture and stretched out his hands to the front.
Seeing that Skye was ready, Li Mo's eyes suddenly turned into a black starry sky, slowly spinning, and the speed became faster and faster.
A powerful soul power resonated with Skye's soul, and the scene in front of Skye suddenly changed, countless rays of light formed a wonderful trajectory that made people have a headache, and the plains in front of him also became innumerable, layered and unsightly...
It turns out that the evolved Li Mo is currently in a state of semi-high-dimensional creature, and he can already make this semi-possessed state like some dimensional demon gods, allowing Skye to share a high-dimensional sight.
But even with the resonance of Li Mo's soul power, Skye couldn't bear it anymore, and gritted his teeth in pain.
"Relax and observe the world with your soul." Li Mo's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "Just like I told you last night, although the mechanical technology of the Skrulls is unparalleled in the world, it belongs to the material level after all, and if you find a vulnerable node, you can use the shock wave to destroy everything in front of you." ”
Under Li Mo's guidance, Skayden felt different, and although everything in front of him seemed solid, there was always a sense of incoherence and mystery.
"That's it." Li Mo's voice sounded again, "Use the power of your soul to attach to the shock wave, firmly believe that nothing is unchangeable, release it, and at the same time follow me..."
"Merge Skill: Wave of Annihilation!"
Skye had reached his limit at this time, and the muscles and bones of his body were shaking and shattering, but the effect of the powerful pill was constantly repairing his body.
When this pain of life worse than death reached its climax, the little girl finally let out a heart-rending roar:
"I don't want to be with you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a red, translucent vibration wave was released from her hands, expanding outward at an incredible speed.
In the eyes of everyone in disbelief, wherever this red vibration wave went, those seemingly powerful robots and railguns all broke and scattered to the ground like rags. The lake was boiling and splashing, cracks appeared in the ground, and even the duke's castle collapsed in half...
The others couldn't see what Li Mo was doing secretly, and they immediately looked at Skye.
Skye slowly withdrew her hands, although her eyes were already black at this time, and she was about to faint, but she still gritted her teeth and held on.
Because Li Mo was an empty shell that couldn't use energy, she had to hold on as a deterrent no matter what.
Carter didn't feel that something was wrong, because the ultimate goal was ahead, and the road ahead was smooth.
"Howling ——!"
After years of painful repression finally exploded, Carthus roared in anger, and his whole body burst into flames, and flew in the wildest form towards the pyramid building where the Academy of Sciences was located.
When Thunderbolt Johnny saw it, he quickly turned into a fire man and followed, while the others hurriedly got on the airship and followed.
Carthus flew higher and higher, turning into a burning meteorite above the pyramid building and falling hard, because the building was also shaken out by Skye, so Carthus directly opened a passage deep into the ground.
Li Mo and the others also quickly caught up, jumped directly from the entrance of the passage, and after 200 meters underground, the surrounding buildings gradually appeared in good condition, and some robots that had just been shattered by Carter began to appear along the way.
Carter seemed to know where to look, and blasted holes in the wall as he sped away.
Li Mo and the others ran quickly after them, but gradually they all realized that something was wrong, why were there only guard robots here, and not a single Skrull?
Captain America and Black Widow, who were the first to notice, glanced at each other, and a haze flashed through their hearts.
Soon around the corner, Carthus stopped, pointed to a passageway, and said, "I have seen them push your friends into the innermost rooms, each of them to save people, and then meet here. ”
After saying that, he casually knocked down a wall and continued to rush inside.
Li Mo and the others did not hesitate, and found a warehouse with a spiral door in the direction pointed by Carter, and the stone man directly stepped forward and collapsed the door, and everyone rushed in.
Rows of sleeping pods were neatly placed in the warehouse, and anxious Reed and Luke Cage hurriedly stepped forward to check, but when they looked through the transparent top floor, they were empty...
