"First of all, the lowest rituals. Causally speaking, it is clear that the ritual in the lower level was successfully activated and something was summoned to the main power room, triggering a change in the middle area. But—this is obviously a subspace, and when Geller's position fails, why does a ritual need for a demon manifesting here?

"Why is the worst part of chaos pollution starting with plasma reactors? If you really want to take control of your ship, why not start with the main console and engine it? Where does all the energy that is missing go? Why is the route of the Chaos Invasion divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower? The Emperor's Son leading the corresponding forces of Chaos to attack the Iron Hand can be explained as a bad fate, but what do the Tzeentch demons wandering the edge want from it-

"—The answer is that everything that is happening on this ship at the moment is part of a larger ritual."

As she trotted all the way back to the command room, Rika Fujimaru quickly explained to Phyllos:

"Tzeentch provided the core structure for this new ritual, which was given to the Prince of Darkness and his men to use against the Iron Hand. For these lustful Chaos Gangs and demons, the invasion of the Iron Hand's ships is a reward in itself, and Tzeentch will test the effects of this new ritual. ”

"I thought...... The Lord of Change is the source of all kinds of witchcraft. Frewstone paused for a moment, but after all, he still didn't dare to call a certain subspace power by his name like Fujimaru Rika, "Even if it's a great demon, you should have a good idea of what effect the spell you use will have, right?" ”

"Because it's ...... It's too cumbersome to explain, you just think he's working on something very new. "The ritual on the lower level did not 'summon' the 'goalkeeper' in the main power room on the middle level, but specifically 'made' it for the larger ritual and made it swallow the plasma reactor, so that no one would wonder where the energy in it went." However, the reactor itself is not demonized, and the 'goalkeeper' himself can naturally absorb energy from the waves of subspace, showing no signs of being different from ordinary demonic entities - then the energy that disappears can only go to the upper level through the link of the ritual. ”

"But there's only one demon in the upper echelons? What does the demon want the electricity output from the plasma reactor to do? ”

"This is the 'very new thing': the 'ether' converted from electricity, with a sufficiently fine shell, can allow subspace entities to circumvent the rejection of the 'veil' and stay in the physical universe, even before the energy is exhausted, allowing it to exert almost the same strength as in subspace."

This is Chaldean technology, that is, technology that does not originally exist in this universe. Even if Tzeentch's claim that he is "the source of all spells in the universe" is true, then he can't immediately control this technique imported from another world—not to mention, the "ether" in Fujimaru Rika's mouth is also a new concept to this universe.

Although in this universe, the energy of the subspace, the basis of the formation of demons, and even the phenomena caused by psionic energy are also dependent on the concept of "ether". However, in the magical education that Fujimaru Rika received, if there is a strict division, all the "ethers" in this world belong to the "true ether" (the fifth element of truth) - and the energy she uses to perform all magic in her own world is the kind of "ether" (the fifth element of space) that can be converted from the electricity of Chaldeans, which she is more familiar with.

In the history known to Rika Fujimaru, the prosperity of mankind has crowded out the living space of the "mysterious", the god generation has faded, and the "true ether" that originally filled the planet and the earth has also been wiped out. After that, the "Aether" appeared as an alternative energy source to the "True Aether", barely maintaining the existence of the Demon Dao during the period of mysterious fading. In other words, from the perspective of causality, the matter of "the disappearance of the gods" is the prerequisite for the emergence of the "ether" (the fifth overhead element), and in this universe where the gods arbitrarily interfere in reality, the fifth overhead element does not have the soil for the creation of the fifth overhead element at all, and since the thing itself does not exist, the corresponding concept naturally does not exist: there is only one kind of energy called "aether" in this world.

That all changed when Rika Fujimaru arrived, strengthened the Curse Bondage with Chaldean techniques, and even recast Conrad Coetze's body. The new technology is confirmed in this universe, and Tzeentch naturally wants to hold it in his own hands—even if he doesn't fail to see the hidden dangers behind it, but his Godhead itself forces him to do so.

"Besides, I don't think the thing at the top should be very strong in theory." Rika Fujimaru added, "Otherwise, there would be no need for the whole ritual to adopt this kind of upper, middle and lower three-layer structure that mimics the 'food chain pyramid' to establish a predatory relationship between subspace entities. This shows that the designers of the whole ritual felt that if Tezcatlipoca had not blocked the upper level, the demon in the upper level might have been eaten by the 'goalkeepers' in the middle level. ”

Feros was a little puzzled: "If you can cast a demon into the physical universe without weakening the veil, shouldn't you choose the strongest demon possible?" ”

"Because this is not a formal military operation, it is just an experiment." Rika Fujimaru replied, "The demons who entered the upper levels participated in the ritual as 'experimental objects'. Even the unpredictable Chaos Gods would not do anything to treat their beloved champion warriors as 'experiments'. A more reasonable guess is that the one at the top is a demon who is so weak that he has little choice left, who is for some reason rejected by the power of Chaos, and who desperately needs to prove himself again. Considering how silently it descended on its own to the upper echelons of the ship, perhaps it had some unusual affinity with the Iron Hand Warband, which allowed it to be able to locate itself accurately in such a weak situation. ”

Ferus fell silent for a moment.

"I may know of such a demon who qualifies." A kind of bitter and unwilling anger could be heard in his voice that seemed to be mechanically synthesized. Rika Fujimaru could hear these subtle emotions, but she knew that she didn't need to care too much about these emotional issues.

"Fought against? Did you win? She asked only briefly, and watched as Ferros nodded in agreement with her.

So she also nodded to the other party: "Win again." ”

"Of course." The Iron Father also replied simply.

The strategic goals have been established, so there is no need for more conversations between the two sides. As soon as they arrived at the temporary command room, the two men began to deploy their troops separately: Fellos confirmed and fine-tuned his previously prepared combat forces for the last time, and began a brief and rapid pre-war mobilization in the data link; Fujimaru Rika threw down the Midnight Lords (including the Primordials) who were still in the corner, and decided to attack the main power chamber with only Enkidu and the Iron Hands in place—if the reactor's energy supply to the upper demons could not be stopped, the whole thing would be endless.

While the two teams were rapidly moving out, the entire ship inexplicably squeaked and shook. Everyone at this time simultaneously felt an unbearable, as if they were being squeezed, a negative feeling-

The Claw of Destruction leapt out of subspace at this moment.

A chapter set of nonsense.

Yes. Six.
