122 The Bird Out of the Cage
The Quasidimensional Mapper, an advanced decoding instrument from the Human Federation. Like any other astral creation, it was a device that Russell had thrown directly to the Church of Truth for their own research without being technologically localized.
This is tantamount to throwing a few black boxes in the past for people to open.
In Russell's conception, when will the Truth Order be able to casually open this kind of technological black box in a conversation and laughter, and the organization that he has worked so hard to pull up will be considered to have begun to take shape.
It's a pity that they don't have this ability yet, and the solution is not very clear, so it's still no problem to use it.
In the corridor of the tomb, the pitch-black gates that shimmered with light collapsed and self-destructed due to the failure of decoding, but new gates were constantly forming in the void, one after another stretching to infinitely distant places.
Tens of billions of parallel universes are born and died in an instant in the process of mapping and deduction, and if Russell was here, he would probably say "one thought of all worlds", but it is a pity that Alphonse is not as middle as him.
After 7 seconds, all the parallel universes are gone.
The countless pitch-black doors mapped by the Quasi-Dimension filled everyone's vision in an instant, and then quickly collapsed and collapsed after 7 seconds, leaving only the last two jet-black stone doors standing in the corridor of the tomb, which were the mirror image of the same door.
Then, the door opened.
Under the accumulation of countless failures, "success" broke the ground.
"It's really open...... Wow——! Before Listia's admiration could utter her admiration, a series of agile black shadows burst out from behind the door and slammed into her head.
Lystia subconsciously leaned back, flipping her spine backwards in a way that a normal human couldn't do, avoiding the first wave of attacks.
Immediately afterward, a pure gold-wrapped spirit bone blade stabbed against her belly, pinning a pitch-black mechanical beetle to the wall.
"Grave beetles—and tomb ghosts!" Listia jumped up from the ground with a carp and quickly ducked behind the soft waist of the spirit banshee who had just saved her life.
A large number of mechanical structures of insect templates poured out from the other side of the tomb door, and several technocrats skillfully lifted their red robes, revealing the large-caliber plasma weapons and various mechanical arms underneath, and poured fire on the incoming structures with teeth and claws.
Although this group of oil guys looks weird, they are really good at fighting......
"The security protocols for the tomb have been activated, and there will only be more and more underworld structures gathered here, so it's not appropriate to hold on here - let's kill them."
Alphonse turned sideways to avoid the gravitational distortion caused by the priest next to him with a special firearm, and stepped directly onto the back seat of a spirit banshee's hoverbike. He ignited the dust, allowing the psionic shield to completely envelop the entire motorcycle.
The sarcastic banshee, spear in hand, drove the Saker hovercraft and drove the shield into the gate, tearing through the enemy line with the spirit bone blade in her hand, followed by a large number of fighter minions, creating space for the armored forces in the rear.
Roaring armored personnel carriers roaring and spinning tracks drove out of the wide corridors behind them, mixed with automatons armed with heavy blasters and plasma clusters, and the armored torrent of the god of all machines celebrated the beauty of the machinery with the roar of artillery fire, and quickly engaged in fierce fire with the activated automatic defense system.
Although it is still far inferior to the frenzied Cyberlux in terms of firepower, the Mechanic Order is obviously well aware that archaeology is a dangerous job, and only by bringing a fully mechanized armored unit can you make yourself feel more at ease.
Fires like this have happened many times before when they had demolished other small pyramids, only on a smaller scale.
Graceful squads of Rage and Greed move swiftly around the battlefield, using armor's built-in psionic circuits and high-pressure melt and pulse weapons to efficiently hunt down treacherous grave ghosts that always escape artillery fire.
The Irony Banshee Squad, piloting a hoverbike, led Alphonse and other non-combatants to quickly fight through the chaotic battlefield of artillery fire, using miniature psionic stealth fields to cover themselves and stealthily stealth.
After being given a chance to breathe, they were able to distract themselves from the environment behind the door:
- Behind the door of the dimensional blockade, there is a very empty open area, a straight avenue for small warships to pass through the space inside the pyramid, and on both sides of the avenue, there are eerie tombs in a row, or the entire pyramid is a huge tomb world.
Alphonse looked around, and the dimensional blockade gate that his group had unlocked was not directly facing the main gate of the central avenue of the tomb world, but just an inconspicuous small side door.
Even the corridor they just crossed was not the path that the owner of this place, the "Space Necrons", would take, it was actually the maintenance network that the underworld beetle walked to maintain the operation of various energy facilities.
"No wonder it's so ......intricate," Alphonse snorted.
Tomb ghosts and underworld structures are converging from all directions, swarming towards the anomalously cracked gap, where the armored armies of the Order of Mechanics are exchanging fire with the intensity of demolition feng shui.
Due to the lack of ironic banshee mobility and stealth technology capable of blinding the underworld constructs, the Technopriests are temporarily unable to leave the battlefield.
The preachers had no intention of turning back to help, silently calling for ground support from the fleet anchored above the pyramids, and then took advantage of this rare opportunity to quickly run away on motorcycles and try to investigate the strange tombs that were densely packed on the side of the central avenue.
Then, as soon as their investigation began, it ended.
"The tomb is empty."
"I'm the same here, how about you? Alphonse? ”
"It makes no difference, it's all empty." Alphonse jumped out of the tomb with one hand holding a blackstone tombstone engraved with unknown characters, and said, "Perhaps it should be called a dormancy chamber rather than a tomb, I found some energy supply and maintenance facilities in it, and it was in these crypt chambers that the space necromancers were supposed to be dormant. ”
It was only less than two hundred years ago that these dormant chambers were opened, and the sleeping space necrons had awakened.
"But if that's the case...... In the past three years of peripheral investigations, the total number of 'skinners' necromancy we have encountered is less than two thousand, which is far less than the total number of dormant warehouses here. Listia frowned as she said, gesturing her finger above her head.
Alphonse and the others immediately looked up, and a large structure resembling a spiral escalator appeared in front of the preachers.
They appeared to be in the interior of a tower, with two long entangled staircases embedded in the walls of the tower, spiraling upwards.
The incalculable number of tomb dormancy chambers spread throughout the interior of the pyramid like a beehive hollow, and near the top of the tower, there is an intricate hollow structure like a "prison cage" held by a dozen intertwined living metal branches.
It's a cage, but it's actually an upside-down triangle, the side facing up is broken, the dull nest is littered with metal debris that slowly wriggles to repair itself, and the aetheric energy field that was supposed to exist has long since dissipated.
Above the broken triangular cage was the spire of the pyramid, where there was a deep crack as black as night.
Alphonse took a deep breath and whispered, "I probably already know why the space necrons have woken up, but we haven't been able to meet their large forces. ”
