Chapter 986: No Light
Just when Han Dong established himself as the leader of the uprising in the civilian area.
Pharaoh Ed. Naturally, Louis is not idle, although he has abandoned the civilian area and placed the main battlefield in the [First Ring and Pyramid Area], but there are other actions in private.
The death of one High Priest, the rebellion of the two High Priests, and the failure of the Anemo God's invasion shook Eddard's self-confidence and fostered some anxiety in his heart.
At present, the priest in charge of information gathering is reporting the situation.
"According to the information sent back by the deceased probationary priest and the head of the relevant organization in the civilian area, the civilian area is mixed with a large number of residents from that strange town, all of whom have terrifying and strange abilities.
In addition, it can be seen from the wormhole transportation report that most of the inhabitants have left the town.
We can try to get around the rear and capture their town...... It may be possible to cut off the source of energy for these strange townspeople, or find their identities and even related weaknesses in the town. β
Ed nodded.
"In the event of a sneak attack on the town, the townspeople in the civilian area will inevitably return to the defense quickly.
At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the spatial transfer of the "atavistic body...... I'm going to do a lightning raid.
Before the raid, I'll send someone to cordon off the space around the town.
Lightning raids are limited to five minutes.
When the time comes, the troops will be withdrawn immediately, regardless of the progress...... I still want to put the main battlefield in the pyramids.
After all, if they want to win the Node War, they must explore the pyramids and defeat me, and there is no need to focus on the outside,"
"Lightning raid? Who do you want to send? β
"Are the Creature Bodies ready?"
"It's been prepared as you commanded...... Pharaoh, you want to go in person? The skeleton is only connected to your consciousness, but it is still risky.
Failure to come out of consciousness before death can cause severe trauma to your proprioceptive consciousness. β
"The Creature Skeleton was made based on my template, and it can exert about 80% of its strength according to the default value...... Since it's a node war of the same level, I don't think anything can kill me instantly. β
"Pharaoh, which High Priest do you need to bring with you for a lightning raid? I'll go and notify now. β
"No, let the high priests stay in the pyramid and prepare for battle...... I'll take ten "embryonic priests" to explore the town.
As long as I can find the "data interface" of the town, I can control all the information and weaknesses of this group of townspeople. β
"Lord Pharaoh, be careful!
This town is difficult to see even by the Eye of Horus.
Able to compress the world to the size of a small town, its node holder must be a special person. β
"It's because of this that I don't want to use my core power.
Even if something happens to me in the town, it's just a biological body and ten reconstructed embryonic priests. β
About ten minutes passed.
The priest received the information before him and immediately reported it:
"Pharaoh!
The "Creature Body" and the Embryonic Priest have been sent to a safe place 200 meters from the town through an underground secret passage, and the basic debugging has been completed, so you can access it at any time. β
"Hmm."
Eddard from [Turing Modeling] is himself proficient in information transmission, although the biological neural network of Shendu has been established before Ed became a pharaoh.
But in Ed's view, these neural networks built in Shendu are a mess, and after taking the position, he spent several years rebuilding the network of Shendu.
A black metal line is immediately derived from the back of the brain, connected to the pyramid's independent network.
In the blink of an eye.
Ed. Luis has appeared on the concrete road two hundred meters from the town of Ridley, and the "biological remains" resemble a type of biological exoskeleton armor in appearance.
Because he uses Ed himself as a template, he can exert basically the same ability.
At the same time, an underground transportation facility beside Eddard transported a full ten large eggs and ten strong, carefully selected slaves.
Sensing the host's presence, the egg immediately hatched into a sleek white face-hugging worm and pounced on the slave's face.
"Alien Technology"
In addition to god-making technology, a rapid means of cultivation.
For a short period of time.
The slaves' bodies were torn open in the middle, and a humanoid white-skinned life crept out of it.
The birth is not an alien, but also a humanoid lifeform, with a detailed "human body dot line map" drawn on their body surface, like a carefully designed individual.
Each possesses the power of a "formal priest."
Most importantly, these small embryonic priests served as the pharaoh's personal nourishment.
There is a metal connector in the rear neck area, which can be accessed by Ed with a data cable to achieve energy replenishment, ultra-fast regeneration and other characteristics.
In this way, Eddard traveled to the town of Ridley with the idea of not losing a single soldier, trying to get detailed information about the townspeople in advance.
Due to the departure of [Demon Spirit-Alesa], the Silent Hill effect in Ridry Town has also been completely lifted, and there is no longer a white fog.
But one thing is still strange.
There is an artificial sun made by the Sun Temple in the Divine Capital...... At present, the sun is shining directly on the Shendu.
However, the town of Ridley was pitch black, and no light could penetrate it.
"Some kind of lightless enchantment?
Or is it that the town itself is an independent world, and there is a world system within it, so it will not be affected by the external environment......"
The pharaoh, who acted through the "biological remains", did not worry about anything, and led the embryonic priests into the town together.
Zizizi~ The street lights seem to be a little unstable and constantly flickering.
In just one step, there is a feeling of completely leaving the Divine Capital and coming to another world......
γPalm Streetγ
The streets were deserted, and all the strange auras were gone.
Thousands of metal lines grew from the pharaoh's back, and high-definition cameras were mounted at the ends, scrutinizing the buildings lining the streets.
On the one hand, they are looking to see if there are still townspeople here who have not left.
On the one hand, they are looking for any network cable interface in order to quickly get relevant information.
"Sure enough, have all the townsfolk already joined the war? Maybe the relevant materials will also be destroyed......"
That's when it happened.
The flashing street lights suddenly went out.
With the absolute darkness of the realm isolating everything, even if Ed wanted to visualize his surroundings through data simulations, all he got was darkness.
Homemade light sources, including bioluminescents, flashlights, or primitive torches, are useless, unable to reach and rejected by lightless areas.
Just when Ed was feeling uneasy and preparing to withdraw from the town for a while
Zizizi ~ when the street lights are on again.
The embryonic priest who had been with him was gone......
At the same time, the front end of Ed's gaze was directly visible, under the street lamps separated by ten lights...... With the flickering of light and shadow, a faceless man with a slender body and a straight suit could be faintly seen.
"What's that?"
Ed was about to activate the high-definition camera to enhance his vision and take a closer look at this man.
The street lights went out again.
In about five seconds, when the street lights come back on...... The lanky figure advanced some distance again, standing underneath the [ninth] lamp.
Smelling a danger he had never felt before, Ed immediately turned and fled, trying to leave the town.
Click~ The street lights went out again.
Even though Ed changed his position and ran behind him for some distance, when the street light came on again, the slender figure was still under the [eighth] street lamp directly in front.
This slow approach is like a countdown, and when the time is over, Ed's death will be pronounced.
Ed didn't dare to bet, after all, the most important thing was the war that was about to break out in the First Ring...... Resolutely abandon plans to invade the town.
However......
"Abnormal data fluctuations detected, and the connection of consciousness cannot be severed"
"What! It's my own consciousness and it's my own connection...... The absence of light here can affect the transmission at the data level?
What the hell is this!? β
As the street lights flickered, the slender figure was getting closer.
It seems that there is only a street lamp left.
Ed gritted his teeth and directly detonated the built-in bioenergy battery of the "Creature Body...... In the form of an emitting light source, completely self-destructing!
The instantaneous burst of ultra-high-order photon emission has dispelled the "lightless realm" to a certain extent.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ed succeeded in transmitting consciousness back to the subject.
Eddard's body sitting in the [Pyramid-God Eye Room] had a trace of fear flashing between his eyes, and his whole body was steaming, gasping for breath...... Order it now!
"No one is allowed to come near the town! Mainly in the event of an imminent war! β

Town of Ridley - Mayor's Office.
Holding a well-preserved skull, the mayor found an empty spot in the locker and placed it with the words "Prometheus" as a keepsake.
