After boarding the mothership, the girl Gray Wind collapsed into countless nanobots and returned to her body, leaving Russell alone to hurry through the corridor and go deeper into the hull.

At such a normal time, Gray Wind would probably smile and say: Marshal, you came in too deep~, but it is not in this mood now.

After listening to Russell talk about the process of the Iron Man Rebellion, Grey Wind has already understood that even a micromechanical gestalt intelligence like himself can be corrupted by chaos and consumed by infection.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but as Russell gets closer and closer to the cabin where Zelo's soul stone is stored, his mental state also begins to quietly undergo some kind of change. It's hard to say whether the change was positive or negative, and Russell only felt distraught.

As he continued to move forward, the haggard complexion and dark circles on his face that had become increasingly haggard due to staying up all night were gradually disappearing.

By the time Russell finally arrived at the door of the cabin where the Zelo crystals were kept, his energy was already immense, his dry, rough skin had become rosy and smooth, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, both physically and mentally, everything was at its best.

Frankly, he's never been in better shape in 24 years.

Russell was uneasy with the change, and the door opened with a squirming sound of metal.

Unlike the huge cavern behind the imprisoning worms and the hall that housed the Cyberlux Arsenal, the room in front of it was much smaller, smaller than Russell's bedroom in the Doge's Palace, and it was empty.

In the center of the room is an altar-like ring structure, and in the center of the circle floats a beautiful blue-purple crystal.

Zelo Soul Stone.

As the name suggests, it is a stone that carries the soul of the Zelo people.

The size of this relic is small, and Russell can easily pick it up with one hand. The crystal was filled with a hazy smoke, eerie and eerie, as if you could look at it for a little longer and be taken away by its presence.

As Russell stepped into the room, a tired voice that seemed to span endless years came to his ears:

"For humans, sleep debt is against your physiological rules, it can damage your bodily functions, and I don't advocate doing that."

In the center of the room, the smoke in the soul stone was still circulating, and its words continued:

"But if you have psionic powers, it's a different story."

The speech of the good god stick...... Russell took a deep breath and looked down at his hands, well, not turning into tentacles.

Lifting the hem of his clothes again to look at his abdomen, there was no crack and sharp teeth growing, his chest was still the appearance of an ordinary human male, and there was no weird smile on his face.

It is not to be taken lightly, the fourth natural disaster.

Russell admonished himself in his heart and kept walking.

"There is doubt and fear in your heart...... There was also an emotion that I couldn't read. The voice in the soul stone said faintly, "I haven't seen a being like you for a long time. ”

Russell struggled to suppress his thoughts from reacting too clearly to his words, and said, "Jabacti, evangelical hope, the last Zero, I need you to answer me a few questions. ”

"Huh?"

The smoke circulating in the soul stone was noticeably sluggish for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal, and the voice was still tired and vicissitudes: "I'm happy." ”

Jabacti's momentary reaction did not escape Russell's eyes, and Russell put a hand to his chest to slow down his breathing rate, and continued:

"Humans in this universe lack all kinds of faster-than-light technology, including faster-than-light communication and cross-galaxy navigation, all of which need to resort to subspace, that is, the Void. However, there is no peace in the subspace. ”

"The chaotic-dominated subspace has become a shackle around the neck of the human empire, their communications have been disrupted for many years, and it is difficult to navigate across galaxies, like crossing the ocean in a bathtub, walking between life and death."

The erosion of the real universe by the evil gods has made it impossible for human beings to make any new inventions and creations, and they can only rely on archaeology to achieve regressive development. Without a reliable way to physically exceed the speed of light, we can only be subject to God. ”

The smoke in the soul stone flowed slowly, like a kind old man, quietly and gently listening to Russell's words, without interrupting.

"I'm going to break this shackle."

Russell's palm on his chest was slowly clenched into a fist, and his eyes were firm:

"Grey Wind's database contains at least four means of faster-than-light travel that don't require subspace: the Jump Engine, the Measuring Bullet Bow, the Stargate, and the L-Gate."

"During the time I'm talking to you, Grey Wind has completed data backup, as soon as I give an order, or if there is any sign of subspace erosion on my body, it will immediately completely disintegrate into a Grey Gu Storm at the cost of its own consciousness extinction, launching a saturated random jump to the entire galactic range."

"As long as even one of the Gray Gu ships survives and is discovered by the Human Empire, these 4 faster-than-light technologies will be delivered to the human race, and the chains that the evil god tied to the empire's neck will no longer exist."

After speaking, Russell lowered his hands and looked at the Zeluo Soul Stone in front of him, his eyes calm.

"What do you think?"

There was a long silence in the room.

After a long time, the tired voice sounded again: "It turns out that you are testing me, testing whether I have become a fan of Chaos. But...... Why not? ”

"Huh?" Russell was stunned.

"You're only now seeing ......"

"Hmm." Jabakti graciously admits: "The suggestion and metaphor of human language are more difficult things for me to understand. ”

Russell held his forehead with one hand: "You are very slow to react, not at all like a prophet or a wise man." ”

"I have never been a wise man, much less a prophet." Jabakti sighed, "I'm just a poor man who carries the lives and expectations of his people and has to destroy other people. ”

Russell was silent, which was a bit out of line with his intended script, in the mechanics of the stars, Jabaksti's spirit could provide guidance to the leader of the empire on all matters, and was undoubtedly the image of an "ancient wise man".

Now this situation is a bit of a strange incongruity.

"I didn't know that the intelligent beings here were trapped at the speed of light, and if they had to borrow from that hellish dimension to navigate the universe, huh...... That's a pitiful thing indeed. ”

Jabakti's voice seemed a little lonely, and even the light on the soul stone dimmed slightly: "When I first arrived here, I could only see a calamity when I looked at the Milky Way in the darkness beyond the abyss. ”

"The imaginary realm of this universe is not as pure and fascinating as my hometown. The subspace is filled with endless misery and chaos, and I tried to communicate with the psionic energy here, but I foresaw the danger of death...... Why is this happening? Can you tell me? ”
