Chapter Forty-Eight: Mechanical Souls

The ultimate goal of the Cult of the Mechanicus is to build an empire of *******.

And to achieve this, it is not possible to rely on the spread of faith alone, so they have prepared a small means, which is to implant a little information in the depths of everyone's mind through spiritual suggestion.

This was a common thing in the past.

In the chaotic era thousands of years ago, many powerful psionic warlords used mental brainwashing to dominate a region, a country, or even a planet.

The Psychic Harmony Device beneath the Golden Palace also has the same function.

Of course, that's not what it really does.

After the failure of the psionic ascension, all the people of the Empire had to rely on the Psychic Inhibition Barrier in order to live normally, and the Psychic Inhibition Barrier was nothing more than the outer layer of the Psychic Harmony Device. Although one of the original purposes of this device was to allow the emperor of the empire to easily control others with his mind in the event of a rebellion, in fact, this part of the function has not been used once so far.

Not only because the royal family has a bottom line, but also because there is a certain price to pay for doing so, after all, it is an invasion of the minds of millions of people.

Behind him was an exploding fire.

He carried Empress Isabella and broke through the front line of defense, and rushed into the enemy's encirclement in the electromagnetic beam in the sky.

- "Gun of the Sun!" ”

A thunder spear completely constructed of golden lightning pierced the air, and in the explosion of the wild dancing electric snake, Su Ziyu's pupils directly turned into a dazzling golden light, and the light visible to the naked eye crossed the front, after directly evaporating a knight of the mechanical church, he stomped his feet violently, and the burst of telekinesis instantly overturned the passage above his head, and one by one the boulders fell, and before burying everyone, his figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

Thundered.

Most of the passage collapsed, and Su Ziyu had just stopped his figure, and suddenly reached out and pushed away Empress Isabella in his arms.

A faint ray of light streaked through.

In the darkness, a slender figure seemed to emerge, accompanied by a flash of ghostly light, Su Ziyu's spiritual protective force field shattered instantly, and a wisp of blood appeared on his abdomen.

Da-da-da-da.

A slender figure that does not look like a normal person appeared in the dark, look carefully, and see a pair of electronic eyes that emit a dark red shimmer, its appearance and outline look like a woman, but that's just an image, its whole person is made of metal, the legs are sharp blades, the hands are also extending out of the dark light blades, the diameter of the arms and thighs is no more than five centimeters, and the whole person is slender like a metal bracket.

"It's the Punisher." Empress Isabella whispered, "The reformers of the Church Inquisition. ”

"They are semi-finished products of mechanical ascension."

The air shuddered.

The electronic eyes of the punisher in front of him flickered, and the figure disappeared in place in an instant, the speed was a little too fast to catch, the completely mechanical structure had allowed it to easily surpass the limits of human beings, and even the brain had been completely replaced by memory chips, it did not hesitate at all, and instantly chose the best way to attack, and the figure leaped up and attacked from three directions at the same time.

After the complete mechanical ascension, humans no longer need to communicate with sound, electronic signals are sufficient.

"You don't have to do it." Su Ziyu raised his hand slightly to stop Empress Isabella beside him, and said, "I can solve it." ”

"You can't break my seal yet."

Empress Isabella's gradually increasing spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly stopped, and a lightning bolt slashed across Su Ziyu's palm, and the whole person instantly turned into an explosive light and shadow, directly hitting the punisher in front of him.

- "Field [Lightning]! ”

For a while, the entire passage was filled with electric snakes dancing wildly, and everyone's vision was completely obscured.

Wait until everything settles down.

Su Ziyu's figure stood in front of him, and beneath his feet was a completely damaged mechanical corpse with wisps of electric sparks coming from the slender brain position.

Completely mechanized is strong.

Really strong.

Completely beyond the limits of human beings, even legendary professionals can't match them, but they also have a fatal weakness, that is, if the mechanical parts that make up their body consciousness can't withstand the huge voltage, then they may be killed directly when facing Su Ziyu.

It's unfortunate.

The Punisher in front of him may be able to withstand a normal electric shock, but within the burst range of the lightning field, the memory chip inside its brain is directly burned.

"Let's go." Su Ziyu turned around and said.

The passage ahead has become much quieter, and it seems that inside the mechanical church, there are not many transformers who have been half-mechanical ascending.

Soon.

They came to an empty hall, in front of them was a dark blue ghost energy barrier, and in the line of sight were men and women dressed as bishops, the most central is the picture that Su Ziyu had seen, the next heir of the empire, Prince William, is now naked in a completely enclosed crystal jar, silver-white metal wires connect all parts of his brain, and then extend to a diamond-shaped crystal cluster above, At the top is an incomparably large piece of dark blue crystal circuits and electronic components, like a brain-like mechanical tissue.

Is this the heart of the mind?

Su Ziyu felt that his spiritual energy was being amplified in an instant, even if he had just entered here, his mental fluctuations were already a little unstable, and the debris scattered around him was directly suspended.

Over here.

Even the lowest-level psionic can easily burst out with great power.

"It's a super psionic amp!" Su Ziyu muttered.

Inside the dark blue barrier, more than a dozen bishops of the Mechanical Church are sitting around Prince William with their eyes closed, and at the front is an old man in bronze robes, he is the archbishop of the Mechanical Church-Dan Davant, but at this moment he did not get up, nor did he open his eyes, he still sat motionless like a puppet.

"Let William go!" Empress Isabella still cared a little about this nephew, and she raised her hand to break through the ghost energy protection force field in front of her.

Su Ziyu instantly stretched out his hand to stop her, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive!" ”

"Look closely!"

After speaking, a spiritual light flashed through his fingertips, directly lifting the seal on Empress Isabella's body, and at the same time blessing her with a layer of spiritual vision.

Within line of sight.

Directly above them, three meters in front of Prince William's body, a humanoid silhouette composed entirely of countless delicate mechanical components gradually emerged, with a slender body and a pair of metal wings spread out behind it, although it was a mechanical body, but it appeared in the form of a spiritual body.

- "Machine Spirit! [Projection of the God of Machines] [Coming]"

Cult of the Mechanica.

They believe that all machines have souls in them, and they worship the god of machines, who obviously walks the road of materialism, but overtakes in the detour of idealism, and goes farther and farther.
