Chapter 560: Attending the Meeting
Eric left the watchtower and groped his way through the dark consciousness in his mind, finding his destination in less than half an hour.
As an intruder, the Apocalypse were arrogant enough, and if the two strongholds Eric had found earlier were low-key, then their new base was very ostentatious—they were hiding in a warehouse in the Metropolitan Harbor. The Metropolitan Port has a large number of abandoned warehouses that have long been a favourite among criminals.
However, as alien invaders, they naturally have to be different from the rookie criminals on Earth. They seem to have installed a lot of sensing equipment on the periphery of this warehouse, and even a single insect within a radius of dozens of meters can sense them. At the same time, the outer layer of the cargo compartment is wrapped in an invisible barrier, at least it has the defense of a tank gun.
But for Eric, it wasn't worth mentioning. He landed right outside the warehouse, and after groping around outside the transparent barrier for a while, he lifted his fist and slammed it down, mixed with tyrannical energy, even when the barrier structure was shattered, the reticulated fragments quickly crawled all over the barrier at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was only in an instant that it exploded.
Eric strode towards the gate, and only two steps before a large number of dark shadows burst out of the shadows around him, swarming in front of him to block his path. Eric stopped and saw that there were ugly-looking monsters in front of him, all with scarlet eyes, fangs, and huge yellow fleshy wings spread out behind them, and the image was hideous and terrifying.
Demonoids, a biological weapon made by the captives captured by Darkseid, the ruler of the Apocalypse, from the planets of the universe, are the endless weapons of aggression of the Apocalypse, and the demonic army feared by most civilizations in the universe. They have no mind, no free will, and exist only to carry out Darkseid's orders, and the danger is extremely high.
One of the demons took the lead in shouting, flapping its wings and flying up, and the large group of demons behind it also responded and flew up with it. Eric's face did not change at all, watching this group of ugly creatures rush in front of him, retreating half a step, the golden divine sword suddenly in his hand, an incomparable golden light slashed horizontally, and the waves of qi were churning, threatening to sweep the heavens and the earth. The row of demons that rushed to the front couldn't avoid it at all, and they were engulfed by the sword qi on the spot and crushed into pieces in the golden light.
With just one sword shot, the Endless Divine Power has completely shocked a large number of demons. Although these demons do not think on their own, they still have a little bit of biological instinct, and when they realize that the enemy's strength is very different from their own, they all can't help but pause, showing a little fear, and they only keep their distance from Eric, and roar like a demonstration. Eric sneered and stepped forward, the sword volleyed into the air, and the demons in a circle were immediately frightened and took a few steps back and kept their distance from him.
"Hah, it's amazing!"
The door of the warehouse slowly rose on its own. The kind grandmother, hunched over and cloaked, walked out slowly, with a false smile on her face, and couldn't stop applauding and praised: "My girls say that you are very good, and I still have doubts, so it seems that it is indeed not an exaggeration. No wonder the great Darkseid pays so much attention to you, and there is some truth to it. ”
The moment the old lady appeared, the pressure of the dark aura in Eric's head suddenly increased several times, almost breaking his will. But he forced himself to be calm, his face was unmoved, and he said flatly: "I am flattered that even the great Darkseid pays so much attention to me. I'm just a small, insignificant stupid human being, who deserves the care of the big men of the New Protoss? ”
"Modesty, I like it." Grandma Xiang smiled and waved back, "Come in with me, we've been waiting for a while." ”
Seeing such an attitude from his superiors, the demons on both sides naturally didn't dare to embarrass Eric anymore, so they honestly retreated to the side and settled down. Now that you've come here, you might as well go in and find out what the enemy is all about. Eric thought so, but didn't ink, and strode after him.
The structure inside is indistinguishable from the underground factory that Eric had seen earlier, still full of yellow columns encapsulating the tied humans, and even the smallest structure is exactly the same, as if the entire underground space has been moved here, but is it possible to do such a thing?
As if seeing the doubts in Eric's heart, the kind grandmother explained with a smile: "Yes, we have transferred the entire base here, thanks to the 'mother box'. ”
Eric understood. He also knows that the mother box is a space tool manufactured by Apocalypse Star Technology, which can open the "burst channel" to achieve a jump between any two points in space, and is a more famous artifact in the DC universe. With this technology, it doesn't sound strange to be able to teleport the entire base.
Eric followed Grandma Kindly through most of the warehouse until he stopped in front of a large, strange-looking machine. Two huge crescent-shaped metal parts stand on both sides, as if enclosing a door, and the base is filled with various strangely shaped parts, and the structure is extremely complex. Eric used X's vision to check inside and out, only to feel that the technological content of this thing far exceeded the level of earth technology, although he didn't know what function it had, but he was secretly thinking about whether to forcibly destroy it.
"This is the 'door' made by the applied mother box technology." Without waiting for him to ask, Grandma Kindness had already taken the initiative to explain, "Once activated, it will be able to open an unprecedentedly large pop channel and connect directly to the Apocalypse Star. At that time, our endless army of the Apocalypse will slaughter the earth, and according to calculations, the earth will fall completely in just three days! ”
Eric frowned slightly, and said, "Then I assume that you deliberately invited me here to thwart your great plan?" ”
"Oh, no, no," said Grandma Kindness, shaking her fingers, "you are here because of the will of the great Darkseid. Darkseid's own order - the most important task in this attack on Earth, in addition to conquering, is to make sure that you are under his command. ”
Eric chuckled, "Really? That's admitted, but he's so confident, so why are you so sure I'll join you? ”
The kind grandmother also smiled: "That's naturally because of ...... You don't have a choice. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a strong sense of crisis had already hit. As soon as Eric was alert, he was about to make a move, but his brain sank violently, and his consciousness seemed to be torn apart. The movement was only slight, and the four cables of light had shot from one direction each, binding him up again.
Naturally, it was the four goddesses of vengeance of the apocalypse, and the four of them had already divided the four corners and bound Eric with a rope of light.
Pain hit him, and Eric nearly fainted. He tried to raise his head, and finally remembered that he saw the kind grandmother squatting in front of him with a wicked smile, and said, "It will pass soon, boy, everything will be fine...... Stop thinking and leave everything to the great Darkseid. That way, you'll get the ...... you've been waiting for Salvation. ”
