356. Protocol Terminals

Among the many abilities of the assassination angel Garobella, it should be related to time and space, which should be the "Veil of Separation from the World".

The Gironz and Serenti, whom he mentioned earlier, have mastered the abilities of space and gravity, as well as the abilities of time and evolution, respectively.

Gironz used his abilities to create the Star Palace Barrier, which is now the inner starry sky, the outer starry sky, and the star filter - these three can be regarded as the largest black hole in the constellation Rodtip on the scientific side.

Between the inner and outer starry sky, Serenti has created an insurmountable time gap. The time difference of thousands of years between inside and outside is enough to annihilate the vast majority of living beings.

At first glance, compared with Gironz and Serenti, the "Veil of Separation from the World" of assassinating angels seems to be a bit out of the table.

But!

Li Nuo doesn't think so.

Why are the star gods awesome?

One is because it can traverse, and the other is because it can make imitations of the gods.

Although the Assassination Angel cannot be crossed, his "Veil of Otherworldliness" is somewhat imaginary with the replication ability of the Star God.

From this point of view, the assassination of angels can be regarded as a "shrunken" version of the star god.

Li Nuo even believes that the star god's ability to copy the gods was learned from assassinating angels.

After all, didn't the other party also say just now, the star god has mastered the ability to copy the gods through acquired study and research.

Replication, or "time and space transport", is the essence of the "Veil of Separation from the World".

Li Nuo communicated with the assassination angel, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

He gave the Spirit of the Rock an order to dig a vertical passage.

The clatter of excavation was drowned out by the Veil of Otherworldhood, and the splashes of dirt and rubble disappeared into invisibility.

Several high-level war spirit patrols flew over Li Nuo's head, unaware of the construction site that was in full swing below.

Li Nuo let go of his arms and worked hard, and simply summoned three more rock spirits.

There were four rock summons in front and behind, slamming into the hard ground.

In just half an hour, a vertical passage with a diameter of more than one meter appeared on the ground.

Standing at the mouth of the passage and looking down, about two hundred meters below, the energy pipeline made of dark green fluorite was flashing with a moving ghostly light.

The light spread upwards along the passage, and upon entering the surface, it was erased by the Veil of Otherworldhood.

Even the energy fluctuations that escaped from the energy pipeline were smoothed out by the "Veil of Separation from the World".

Leno grabbed the wand and swung it in front of him, aiming at the four rock spirits such as rock energy.

The rock spirits merge into one and become a rock giant that is more than ten meters tall.

Li Nuo cast a "death flight" and jumped down from the entrance of the passage.

After the owner left, the rock giant pounced on the entrance of the passage.

In a brief change of light and shadow, the rock giant transformed from a humanoid form into a disc-shaped manhole cover, sealing the entire passage without leaving a single gap.

Li Nuo flew down the passage, and soon approached the pipe of the energy surge.

Looking at the pipe in front of him that flashed with a faint green light, Li Nuo asked in his heart:

"Your Excellency, can the Veil of Otherworldhood adjust the energy monitor at the hub of the pipe network?"

When the soul energy of the pipeline is leaked, the flow data on the energy monitor at the center of the pipeline network will inevitably decline.

This is similar to normal pipeline monitoring.

Assassination Angel Response:

"Once you've found the pipeline hub, touch it with the palm of your hand, and I'll be able to cover up the anomalies in the monitoring data with the Veil of Otherworldhood."

Li Nuo nodded, squinting his eyes at a high platform in the distance.

This underground pipe network is housed in a vast space with a height of no more than three meters.

Apart from the straight pipes, only the high platform stands out.

Li Nuo threw out a deconstruction technique as he flew towards the high platform.

Well, he guessed it right, the platform was one of the many hubs of the network, equipped with magical instruments to monitor the flow of energy.

As a result, the network hub was named "Hub 15" by the system.

That is, there are at least 14 more hubs like this underground.

A network hub that monitors the flow of energy over a small area.

The energy flow is continuous, and the energy anomaly here will appear on another pipe network hub.

It is not enough for Li Nuo to cover up the monitoring data of a network hub.

He had to interfere with all the network hubs to ensure that what he was doing underground wouldn't leak out.

In addition, absorbing the soul energy stored in the pyramid will also cause the data of the network hub to be abnormal.

So from that point of view, it is necessary for Li Nuo to visit all the hubs.

"It's a big project..."

Li Nuo muttered to himself, and turned to contact Nolin, asking the other party to share a part of the computing power to help him.

Noreen readily agreed.

More than a dozen flying machine spirits flew out of Li Nuo's magic pocket and scattered along the pipe network, looking for traces of other pipe network hubs.

Taking advantage of Norein's search for a hub, Li Nuo plans to test the power of "soul absorption".

He took out the Sword of Silence from his magic pocket and infused it with Silence Mana, using its spell-breaking properties to cut through the outer walls of the pipes protected by the Guardian Demon Pattern.

With the Silent Mana, the Guardian Emblem has no effect, neither sending an energy blast at the intruders nor alerting the patrols.

When Li Nuo withdrew the "Sword of Silence" from the pipe, a rift flowing with soul energy came into view.

Gray soul energy spurted out of the rift like a trickle, diffusing between the pipe networks.

Li Nuo sketched a blueprint of the spell in his mind and cast a "soul drain".

The gray energy around them was invisibly attracted and rushed towards Li Nuo.

For a while, a gray energy cyclone appeared on Li Nuo's body, and he was the eye of the energy cyclone.

The system sent a reminder that his soul energy inventory was rapidly rising at a rate of 100 points per minute.

Li Nuo's "Soul Absorb" is only 20% complete.

For every 100 points absorbed, 400 points will escape...

But that's not the point, anyway, it's the soul energy of the Necromancy Sect that is wasted, and Li Nuo is not distressed.

He looked at the pipe network hub in the form of a raised platform.

The energy monitoring device of the hub is a bony palm that holds a black heart.

The tighter the grip of the bone, the more energy flows through the pipe.

After Li Nuo began to absorb soul energy, the bone palm slowly loosened, and the black heart it held became red.

As you can imagine, when the palm of the bone is completely released and the heart is red, the alarm will be triggered.

Li Nuo figured out how the energy monitoring device worked, nodded slightly, and raised his hand to hold down the black heart.

The "Veil of Otherworldliness" spread from his body to the device.

The bones clasped their palms together and clenched the black heart again.

The red glow of the heart fades and turns back to a dark appearance.

Leno drew the Sword of Silence and stabbed it into the pipe, creating a new rift.

The two cracks spewed soul energy in unison, and all of them were absorbed by Li Nuo.

The black heart and bones of the palm are not moving.

"Veil of the World", cow!

With a wave of his hand, Li Nuo used his rock and earth wand to shoot out the earth-brown light, sealing the crack in the pipe.

The soul energy outside the tube gradually dissipated, and no more energy escaped.

It's not a good time to suck big and suck yet.

When all the network hubs are adjusted with the "Veil of Otherworlds", it is the time to suck in the soul energy.

Li Nuo waited quietly for a moment.

Five minutes later, Noreen brought the intel.

"Sir, counting the one in front of you, I have found a total of 35 energy hubs."

Noreen said as she used a psychic spell to transmit the magical image she had drawn.

Li Nuo glanced at the energy hub marked on the image and smiled with satisfaction:

"Very well, Noreen, thank you for your hard work."

"That's what I should, sir." Norin manipulated a mechanical spirit to come to Li Nuo, pointed the head of the mechanical spirit into the distance and said:

"However, there is an energy hub guarded by the Necromantic Sect, and there it is. That's the most important energy hub, and it's supposed to be the energy hub of the entire network. ”

Li Nuo Says:

"It's okay, that's what I expected. I'll settle them. Anything else in particular? ”

"Yes, sir." Noreen still pointed in the direction of the center with her mech:

"The group of necromancers guarding the center seem to be doing some kind of magic experiment. You should probably stop by and have a look soon. I seem to have seen their experiments somewhere. ”

"Do a magic experiment...", Leno looked in confusion in the direction Noreen was pointing.

He consulted with the Assassin Angel and handed it over to Noreen to set up the "Veil of Otherworldhood" on the pipeline hub.

Of course, Noreen was unaware of the existence of the Veil of Otherworldhood.

Lino simply told her to manipulate the machine to stay close to each pipeline hub for at least 10 seconds.

Noreen had all the doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask too much, and began to seriously carry out Li Nuo's orders.

Li Nuo turned and flew towards the center of the pipeline.

After a while, he saw what Noreen had called necromancy and experiments.

It was a magical laboratory built on a high underground platform, the necromantic kind, imbued with an obsession with misery and despair.

The necromancer in charge of conducting magical experiments is a tall stitched creature covered in sutures, oozing dark green slurry from the stitches.

Deconstruction has revealed that this necromancy is called a suture doctor, who specializes in limb research and necromantic modification.

They are five big and three coarse, have a brutal demeanor, and occasionally spill the rotten liquid in their bodies to the ground, but it does not affect the test subjects in the slightest.

Because the test subjects were withered metal skeletons, pure iron lumps, hard and corrosion-resistant.

A group of metal skeletons alone would certainly not attract Noreen's attention.

Li Nuo observed carefully for a few seconds and found something unusual.

These metal skeletons... Why are you wearing?

Not a beggar's outfit full of holes, but a set of uniforms that look like they have a specific connotation.

The style of the uniform is very strange, like a straitjacket formed by coils wrapped around the body.

For example, Li Nuo felt that this costume was very similar to the "mummy", except that the strip of cloth of the mummy was replaced with a coil made of metal.

Li Nuo just wanted to throw out the deconstruction technique to see why, and the assassination angel said:

"That's the Dead Steel Assaulter of the Dead World."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and launched a deconstruction technique.

The solution is no different from what the assassination angel said.

Name: Dead Steel Assaulter

【Type】Death science and technology products

[Level] cannot be measured at this time

Status: Waiting for activation

After receiving 1000 Soul Energy, the target will revive and begin to execute commands.

【Features】

1. Death Protocol

This target is protected by the Death Protocol of the Dead City.

Until the protocol terminal is breached, it will execute commands according to the protocol content and be constantly reborn with the help of the protocol's power.

2. Servant of the Terminal (not activated)

This target will only obey the commands of a specific protocol terminal.

3. Dead Steel Will

Cold, ruthless, slaughtering, loyal.

[Skill] Omit for the time being

【Weaknesses】

1. Destroying its soul can delay the resurrection time

2. Eliminate the protocol terminal, which can paralyze it

3. Use the "Great Forge of the Dead" to destroy it completely

While Li Nuo read the solution result, the assassination angel also introduced what he knew in his ear, which was generally consistent with the solution result.

Does Noreen think Dead Steel Assault looks familiar?

That's inevitable.

The Metal Creation Group's cargo fleet is the primary target of robbery in the Dead City.

Noreen and Noreen's predecessor, the synth DKP-15, must have spent time in the group even if they hadn't seen the Deathsteel Assault in action.

It's just that what Noreen didn't expect was that she would actually see the dead steel soldiers in the inner starry sky.

And there were even more things she couldn't have imagined.

The Dead Steel Assaulter in front of him, who was being manipulated by the suture doctor, was not the full power that the Dead World had sent into the inner starry sky.

Arriving here with them, there is also the "Protocol Terminal".

"The combat units of the Dead World are calculated according to the protocol terminal. A single D-Class Protocol terminal can control 10 Dead Steel Assault Troopers. 100 for C grade, 1,000 for B grade, and so on. ”

Assassination Angel says:

"The Dead Steel Assault we see now is no more, no less, just 100, which means that the C-Class Protocol terminal responsible for controlling them is the one in charge. In the Dead Capital, such teams are generally used for infiltration and reconnaissance missions. ”

Li Nuo's gaze swept over the high platform and asked:

"And what does the protocol terminal look like?"

As soon as Li Nuo's words fell, a suture doctor came to the high platform from the shadows behind the high platform.

It has a metal skeleton in its hand that resembles the Dead Steel Assaulter.

The metal skeleton wears a certain crown on its head, which resembles a black cauldron with blades stuck in it.

Assassination Angel says:

"That's the protocol end of this Dead Steel Assault team, a C-class Dead Steel Soldier Captain."

Li Nuo pondered and asked:

"What now? Do you want to grab that protocol terminal and study it? Maybe there's some command book hidden in the protocol terminal. ”

Li Nuo had this question because he had encountered an embarrassing problem.

In a way, the Dead Steel Soldiers produced by Dead Steel Tek resemble the synths of the Metal Creation Syndicate.

Li Nuo was unable to use deconstruction to obtain information on its internal parts.

For example, now, when Li Nuo deconstructs the protocol terminal, he can only get the overall panel data.

And if he wants to point to what command the other party is about to execute, he must deconstruct the "protocol file" in the protocol terminal in a targeted manner.

I have to say that this data isolation mode is quite fatal to the plug-in of deconstruction.

Assassination Angel says:

"Let's observe here for a while, there's still plenty of time. If I'm not mistaken, this Deathsteel Commando is supposed to be here to cooperate with the Necromantic Sect to open up the Pollution Realm. If you can find an opportunity to annihilate them, you can also delay the opening of the polluted field. (End of chapter)
