Chapter 36: The Wormhole
"My lord, what do you think happened to the Faith?" Seeing Alex and the others frantically shuttling between the wreckage to search for survivors, Huo Biao leaned over to Qin Lun and asked softly.
Because it was just reconnaissance, Qin Lun only brought three squads out this time, and the only companions were Huo Biao and Bowei.
The wreckage of the Faith in this star field is widely distributed, but with the ability of the soldier mecha, as long as you take a cursory look, you can know that there are no living people here, Alex and the others just can't accept it psychologically and don't want to give up.
"I don't know, the gospel world is different from our previous mission world, and there are too many unforeseen accidents." Qin Lun shook his head with a solemn expression, "The only thing that can be judged is that this is not the work of the Heathmails. ”
"Well, judging from the traces left by the wreckage of the Faith, it should have suffered an accident after the jump, like hitting a planet head-on, and it fell apart before it even had time to avoid it, followed by the continuous explosion of various parts of the hull." Bowei nodded in agreement, he had observed very carefully just now, and had come up with a number of useful suggestions.
"Then there shouldn't be no survivors, the rest of the Guise are either captured, or are they......" Bowei didn't say any more in the middle of his words, wanting the battle scene to be handled so cleanly, and there was also a possibility that the survivors were all swallowed by some kind of object.
The three apostles looked at each other, and they remembered the cosmic octopus.
"It's a long way from the galaxy where the cosmic octopus is located, but with a cosmic creature of this size, perhaps the distance in our eyes is just a difference between reaching and walking two more steps." Huo Biao said with a deep groan, his face a little ugly.
"It won't be a cosmic octopus, the space required by that creature is too big, and there won't be a second one in this star field, otherwise, we would have discovered it a long time ago!" Qin Lun's eyes flickered, and he asked thoughtfully, "Captain Márquez's last message to the Attack mentioned the Hesmael warship, but don't you think it's strange that the Gigus Zerg that should have appeared first has not shown up until now!" ”
"My lord, do you think the Zerg did it?" Bowei asked cautiously.
"I'm not sure! The combat power of the Faith is not trivial, if it is really a zerg, then it needs to be dispatched. Qin Lun frowned, his eyes looked deep into the depths of the universe, "There must be something we don't know about happening, after the fall of the Faith, two of the four apostle teams have become rootless duckweed, and soon we will have to fight for survival." ”
……
"My lord, hard work!" Blake glanced at the head of the man he was holding in Ganro's hand and stepped forward with a smile on his face, "You must have enjoyed this battle!" ”
"Phew, so-so!" Ganro spat on the ground, the corrosive saliva mothing a small hole in the battleship's floor.
After transforming into a blade mantis, the Chaos Apostle is affected by the Zerg instinct. As a martial artist with keen perception, Gan Luo's reaction is particularly violent, and under the influence of psychology, he will feel the rejection of bodily fluids from time to time.
"The opponent fought with someone before he met me, and he should have used some forbidden moves, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy!" Gan Luo fiddled with the human head in his hand and threw it directly into the hatching pool, floating and sinking in the thick and turbid blood.
"My lord, who is he?" Blake tilted his head to look at the handsome face floating in the hatchery.
"Wolf Miller, the deputy head of the Overlord Light team, is known as the 'Space Manipulator' or 'Puppet Dancer'." Gan Luo showed a smile on his face, "Actually, his combat profession is just to restrain a martial artist in close combat, I'm afraid he didn't expect to be defeated in my hands!" ”
"The deputy head of a large team?" Blake raised an eyebrow, "My lord, will this leave the tail of the hand?" ”
"Haha, the Apostles have their own destiny in the mission world, how can there be so many rules, the Holy Light team will not provoke a team battle for him. Let alone...... This guy isn't dead yet! Gan Luo grinned and glanced at the pale and bloodless face, "What about the rest of the Holy Light team?" ”
"Two died, and the others lost their ability to resist." Blake replied respectfully, "It's just not clear which team they fought against?" ”
"I'll figure it out!" Ganro looked at Wolf's head and said meaningfully, "Let's go, talk to the guests first, they got on the boat, but they haven't bought tickets yet?" ”
After Gan Luo and Blake went out, the hatching pool had long been devoid of the breath of life, and suddenly his eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of golden pupils.
……
"Junko, did you say that Mizuma-sama had anticipated the current situation a long time ago?" Looking at the slender girl not far away, a big man with five big and three thick, with a body of two normal human thicknesses, pulled the girl in martial arts uniform and asked.
"This ...... Perhaps! Junzi smiled bitterly, although she had been following Qin Mei for so long, she had never been able to see through that girl's thoughts, recalling the young man who also couldn't understand before, she now somewhat believed that they were brothers and sisters.
At the beginning of the Hismael's Cube battleship encountering the Faith, everyone persuaded Qin Mei that there was no need to gnaw to the death, after all, the actual combat power of the two warships was about the same, and the outcome of the fight to the death was unpredictable.
However, Qin Mei didn't know what she had in mind, so she had to chase the Faith to the death, even if the opponent entered the superluminal jump, she actually chased after it.
Her actions eventually aroused the opposition of the Heathmails, but just as the Rubik's Cube battleship was about to turn around, they saw an astonishing scene.
"It's beautiful!" Qin Mei stood outside the window of the battleship, looking at the blister-like sphere in the starry sky that looked like a rainbow of light shining under the sun.
It's a cosmic wormhole the size of a star!
In a normal sense, a wormhole is a narrow tunnel connecting two different time and space, and scientists believe that it is possible to carry out instantaneous space transfer or time travel through the wormhole.
The space-time orbit of the space warship carrying out the faster-than-light transition is actually an application of the wormhole theory, and the faster-than-light transition can be considered as a low-dimensional simulation of the wormhole. The apostle's portal from the shattered starry sky to different worlds in different time and space is another form of wormhole in a higher dimension.
The wormhole in front of Qin Mei now is the culprit who destroyed the Miè Faith, and it is also a very unstable folding wormhole. Its position in the universe will drift frequently, especially if the warship makes a faster-than-light jump near it, and it may be involved.
When the Faith crashed headlong into the folded wormhole under the chase of the Rubik's Cube battleship, it had little to no resistance.
The only fortunate thing is that although this wormhole repels non-living objects, intelligent life can pass through it completely unaffected, and the very few Giss who did not die in the explosion reached the other side of the wormhole.
After this, the wormhole subsided the folding phenomenon and disappeared from the scene of the disaster, with only the Rubik's Cube battleship following and observing. This is also the reason why Attack failed to see a wormhole near the wreckage of Faith.
When Qin Lun and the others were analyzing the main quest, most of their inferences were correct. However, their analysis of why Starry Sky placed the convergence point of the four regiments on the body surface of the cosmic octopus was wrong.
After calculating the broken starry sky, it is natural to calculate the unpredictable danger of this star field, that is, the wormhole in front of us.
However, given the point in time and space that the Apostle is currently entering, it cannot interfere with or change the location of the battle between the four intelligent races, and can only use some hints to make the four races concentrate near the cosmic octopus when they are fighting. Because the cosmic octopus is the only powerful life in the star field that is not affected by wormholes, it gives the apostles a stable foothold.
Qin Lun has always been puzzled by the purpose of breaking the starry sky and letting them enter the gospel world, which is actually related to the wormhole, to be precise, related to the things on the other side of the wormhole.
Starry Sky arranged the original main quest of the apostles very cleverly, but it was deliberately destroyed by someone. This man is ostensibly Wolf, as he caused Jannamer to alarm the cosmic octopus, and as a result, the Holy Light and the Ranger team scuffle, and the Chaos team profited.
In fact, the movement of the cosmic octopus was only a small matter, although it made the scene of the battle between the four regiments a little more complicated, but the essence of the matter did not deviate from the orbit controlled by the starry sky, until the Faith was destroyed by the wormhole.
The person who really disturbed the main line of the starry sky was Qin Mei, who took the cosmic octopus as the center, and the star field positions of Heather and Worm Star as the wheel axis, and actually deduced the approximate route of the four major races converging to the edge of the second cantilever of the Scorpio Galaxy, thus intercepting the Faith halfway.
"Lord Qin Mei, it's incredible, your inference really happened!" Just as Qin Mei was observing the wormhole, a person like smoke and a ghost appeared beside her, this was a real Heathmail.
"Now you believe it?" Qin Meijiao asked with a smile.
"Yes, but the other Excellencies still can't confirm your other inference!" The illusory figure smiled and said, "Is the other side of the wormhole really the remnant civilization of the Gise Angels?" ”
"I don't know, it's a corollary from your old prophecy. However, since most of the first three prophecies have been confirmed, it may be worth a try! Qin Mei blinked slyly and said noncommittally.
The illusory figure fell silent, and the ancient prophecy of the Hesmael had four main parts. The first three parts have appeared, the wormhole itself referred to by the golden gate, the powerful guard should be the cosmic octopus, and the war is estimated to be the war of the four major races this time.
Even the calamities mentioned in it seem to have occurred, and the Gies are also part of the angelic lineage, and the destruction of the Faith can also be regarded as part of the angelic prophecy.
"If you want to get it, you have to pay first!" Qin Mei stared at the figure and said meaningfully, "If you don't take a look, you'll never know if there is an angel gospel on the other side of the wormhole!" ”
