Due to the fact that the awakened space necrons had long since left, the underworld structure that had been left behind to watch over the expedition fleet did not pose much of a substantial threat to the expedition fleet.

With the help of the Quasidimensional Mapper, the Mecha was able to deploy military forces at multiple entrances and invade the interior of the pyramid in a coordinated manner, and the steel torrent of the God of All Machines flooded the dark tombs, and the occupation of the central main pyramid was steadily advanced.

The head of research had proposed that the remaining dozens of Cyberlux warbodies be put into the battlefield to assist in the battle, but his offer was politely rejected by one of the high-level technical priests who led the team.

The oil guy would refuse the assistance of the Titans, and it was the new equipment that had been modified by the Order of Truth...... It was really the sun hitting the west side of the Holy Terra and coming out.

The refusal of the scientific director did not think much of this, he was a technical nerd who did not know much about human feelings, and deployed the combat body troops to the outer pyramid to recover some of the fixed machinery left by the space necrons, and then continued to bury his head in analyzing the data transmitted by Alvons when the mechanical machine would use the quasi-dimensional mapper.

What the preachers failed to notice was that when the mechanized troops composed of automaton and fighter servants entered the pyramid, under the huge momentum, squads of Space Marines ranging in size from a few to a dozen people also quietly infiltrated the pyramid with deafening artillery fire.

The total number of these Space Marines is about 500 or so, and they are uniformly dressed in bronze power armor, and if Alexei were here, he would have recognized them at a glance - they were the warriors of the Death Stalkers, a subgroup of the Dark Angels.

The death stalkers pursued a target and disappeared into the shadows.

Meanwhile, Alphonse and his teammates are climbing the spiral staircase in a separate space inside the pyramid to investigate the broken cage above.

"This tetrahedral cage structure is very interesting."

Alphons, who had just finished scanning the foundation of the broken cage, sat on the back seat of the hoverbike and said: "The outer structure of this cage is equipped with an energy transmission network and an ether energy field generator to bind the space-time structure inside the cage. ”

Imprisoning Time and Space...... Should it be said to be a space necromancer? Listia felt that she had become a little numb to the power and sophistication of necromantic technological creations.

"But I've walked around the cage a few times, and I don't see any external devices to power the energy field generator." Alphonse continued: "Instead, inside the cage, I found a total of 15 regular, delicate structures that were presumed to be energy extraction. ”

"If your speculation is true, then this cage ......," Listia understood what he meant by "interesting".

Alphonse nodded, giving his conclusion: "I believe that this cage is imprisoned by one or more powerful beings with vast amounts of energy, and that the space necrons use the devices inside the cage to draw energy from it, which is used to maintain the aetheric energy field that envelops the cage, and imprison this creature until death, if they are going to die. ”

He spoke with great seriousness, but his words were a little lacking, and this was the first time that Alphons, who had been raised by the Order of Truth since childhood, had expressed his opinion on a matter and given his own conclusions.

Alphonse was not confident in his own abilities.

But when he thought that even someone like Lystia could be left in the Order, his heart was filled with hope for life.

"Use the power of a prisoner to imprison a prisoner...... Interesting statement, and very credible. ”

A middle-aged preacher with a modest face touched the short stubble on his chin and finally said, "According to you, if the prisoner's body runs out of energy, the cage will unravel itself—it is clear that the cage does not unravel itself, but is broken from the inside out, and even breaks through the spire of the pyramid." ”

"That's true......" Alphonse nodded yes.

Just as the red-eyed Mechanic Order was fighting with the grave structure in the tomb, the preacher and his party held a small seminar on the phenomenon in the cage. This is the fine tradition of the Truth Order, which is ready to discuss everything that can be discussed, and to exchange information and ideas with each other in a timely manner.

After a not-so-heated debate, Alphonse tried to come up with a timeline with the help of the crowd:

Approximately 100-150 years ago, the Starbomber detonated the system's binary star system to annihilate the swarm. The stellar eruption gave rise to a destructive flare that engulfed the entire galaxy and affected the planet.

"According to our calculations, there has been a large change in the orbit of the stellar rotation of the carbonized crystalline planet, which binds the pyramid group to near orbit. To put it simply, the planet, which was supposed to orbit a little further inward in the galaxy, was probably forced to 'push' some distance outward by the impact of the Big Bang. ”

The middle-aged preacher who spoke showed Alphonse a mathematical model and explained: "If you rewind time to before the star exploded, the original orbit of this carbonized planet would be here." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on one of the celestial models along the tip of the pen in his hand, and suddenly, everyone's expressions became subtle, some puzzled, some relieved.

There is nothing wrong with this location, but it is reasonable to say that a planet of this size should be orbiting in this orbit.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that the coordinates exactly coincide with the location of the pyramid group.

"When Bernatita first discovered the pyramid complex, he observed a flickering phase shift." He finally said: "Combined with the advanced dimensional technology of the necromancy, it is not difficult to come out: this pyramid group was originally hidden inside the planet by the phase shift technology of the space necromancy, but after the planet itself was pushed away by the destructive flare, the pyramid itself did not move together, but was exposed to space. ”

"This tetrahedral cage also malfunctioned at that time, and the contents broke through the seal and escaped, and the awakened space necrons disappeared as well."

Alphonse nodded, a statement that could explain many of the original doubts.

Awakened space necrons poured out in pursuit of escaped prisoners, driving away almost all of the ships in the catacombs, removing most of the munitions and facilities, leaving behind only about 2,000 irrational skinners and a large number of underworld structures.

That makes sense, but ......

"Space necrons, with advanced technology that can be called miracles, need to mobilize so many people to hunt down a prisoner." Lystia said with some surprise:

"What kind of prisoner is that?"
