Tia slowly stood up, the wreckage of the Dark Priest beneath her feet, and in her hand a slightly eerie metal plate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"That's what you're looking for?" Burke asked, the dimensional blade hung from his waist, flashing a faint blue light, there was nothing to be wary of now, all those dark mechanical things were finished, their master was dismantled by the Imperial Champion, and now he was falling at Tia's feet, and the black-armored Imperial Champion had just disappeared with a flash of light—Burke guessed it was a phase shift. It is expected to have returned to their mothership in orbit.

And once he finds that piece of STC, there is no doubt that Burke has done all he has to do here.

"Yes, while the Divine STC is still pure needs to be carefully determined, but, yes, it's what I'm here for...... Punisher Titan's weapon system STC, our deal is over, ...... from Setopia Visitor. You can go and meet your people. ”

Burke narrowed his eyes, his mind going through several turns in a short period of time before finally coming to a conclusion.

"I think I might need your help."

"Oh?" Tia tilted her head and looked at Burke, "My help?" You call these things a joke? Unfortunately, we don't understand this kind of thing. ”

"No, I'm asking you very seriously...... How much do you know about artificial intelligence? ”

Tia fell silent suddenly, then glanced around gravely, and turned her head to stare at Burke after being sure that Constantine had left to join the Inquisitor.

"Burke, you're not a subject of the Empire, so I can ignore your presumptuousness, but it's not something you and I can discuss."

"I'm not ignorant of what happened here after the Federation left the galaxy." Burke replied in the same earnest tone, "But, I'm just here to ask such a simple question...... To what extent have you mastered it? ”

"Artificial intelligence is a forbidden technology, and all machines with autonomous consciousness are illegal in the Empire. Your blind optimism about technology poses a great threat...... But if you really want to know something, I can take you to meet someone. ”

Tia's tone suddenly lowered when she said this, and then raised her head thoughtfully and looked at the sky: "The time is almost up, but you better know that once you choose to go with me to meet her, then, you will never be able to return to your country, and we will never allow the people who see our secrets to continue to be exposed to people, if it weren't for your real value, you are dead now, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

Burke smiled bitterly: "I know, but, for me, I have no choice for a long time, besides, I have a lot of confidence in the Federation." Okay, with that said, who are you going to take me to? ”

"My mentor, Master Draco, Director of the Forge of Kakab Forge World, must be one of the most outstanding of them if there is anyone in the Empire who truly understands science."

Tia said in a proud tone, and even the flat tone contained violent emotional fluctuations: "Hold my hand, we have to go to my ship, there is still a long way to go." ”

Ed lowered his head and looked Olivia into the eye, the pitch-black blade in his hand, the blade against Olivia's neck, and it only took a little more force to slice through her throat.

But even the hard-hearted faceless man has stopped now.

The surrounding governor's guards collapsed, and the sun-shooting engine shrouded the entire surrounding area in darkness, isolating it from all else, and Ed stared at Olivia.

"You know, Londinium has been saved, Olivia."

"Yes, Ed, do you call me by that name again?" Olivia likewise stared at Ed's pitch-black nanoarmor with her blue eyes, as if she wanted to see his face covered under the mask.

"Yes, Olivia...... Because you and I both know that this day will come eventually, as long as you live for the Empire. ”

"Is that the last thing you want to say to me? Ed. ”

"You and I both have choices to make, and we all have countries that we must pay for all our lives, Olivia, and we were ...... It's not rational, but we had a common goal then, but now, if you insist on following the people from the Foreign Office, then I can only let you die here. ”

"I thought you were united."

"We are indeed united, but we are not the same as the idealists at the Foreign Office and the outright majority of the Isolators in the Federation when it comes to how to solve problems, especially how to deal with your beloved empire, well, enough nonsense, now, Olivia, this is the last chance." Ed took another step forward with the blade against Olivia's neck, and a streak of blood dripped from Olivia's white neck.

Olivia smiled: "You are all respectable people, Ed, I don't know much about your internal struggles, but I feel that you are all making choices for the good of the collective and the public, not for your own selfish interests...... and then, her smile disappeared: "But, you know, I was born in the Empire, dedicated to the Empire, and shed blood for the Galaxy, it is my destiny, so...... Never. ”

"I'm sorry." Ed said so, and swung the blade in his hand.

Then, the pitch-black blade that was supposed to slice Olivia's neck stopped there, and an arc of electricity circled Olivia's body, and then burst open.

Ed was lifted into the air, barely able to control his body, but he knew the reason for it all.

Psionics!

"You're a psyker, Olivia?" Ed activated the nanoarmor's gravity unit, then hovered in the air and looked down, "When did it start?" ”

"Maybe just now? Olivia spread her hands, and the small snake of the ether wrapped around her hand, then shattered by a sharp grip, as if she was angry at the cursed power.

And the sun-shooting engine, which sucked away all the light, was also destroyed by this burst of psionic energy.

"But, Ed, it's too late if you don't leave." Olivia said. A light gradually appeared in the dark space cut off from the light, and then, a dozen Federation Space Marines in silver-gray armor rushed in, raising their weapons and pointing at Ed not far away.

"Who are you?" The Tyrell Company Commander at the head said, his Terminator armor flashing with silver: "You are not from the Empire, nor are you Chaos, who are you?" ”

Ed didn't speak, but simply raised his hand.

Then, with a burst of bright light, it disappeared in place.
