The capital of the empire was later relocated and built underground.
After Queen Isabella docked the spaceship near a hidden bay, she piloted a fighter plane again and took the group of them towards the imperial capital.
The spacecraft is too large to be completely concealed.
This fighter named 'Thunderbird' has the most advanced optical stealth device, which is enough for them to safely enter the imperial capital. On the way, Queen Isabella also briefly told Su Ziyu and Shar some things about the Mechanicus. Simply put, this is an organization that cannot be eliminated. After the failure of psychic ascension, the empire's The emperor needed to use the power of religion to appease the hearts of the people. The Cult of Mechanicus emerged at that time. They inherited part of the teachings and technology from the ruins of the ancient lost empire, and rapidly developed a huge empire in the darkest years of the empire. The believers once completely controlled the power of the people.
If it were just like this, the Mechanicum would not be a big problem. After all, the core power of the empire was at the top.
But later, they discovered a large amount of mechanical technology from unknown ancient ruins, and a very dangerous idea was born among its core executives. This idea was an important reason for the tense relationship between them and the previous emperors.
The Adeptus Mechanicus wants to build a '****' empire.
This was something that no previous emperor could accept. Queen Isabella also rejected many of the teachings of the Mechanicum. The blood of the royal family had a trace of madness, freedom and bloodlust in its bones.
then.
In this crisis, when the life and death of Queen Isabella was unknown and the power of the Royal Knights was severely damaged, the Mechanicus decisively launched a coup to seize power.
Of course, they still supported a puppet emperor in name only.
That is Queen Isabella's nephew, Prince William, a guy who usually likes to be free and undisciplined.
"William has no ability to resist them." Queen Isabella shook her head and said: "Now the entire imperial capital is estimated to be under the control of the Mechanical Church."
Queen Isabella was speaking, and suddenly her expression showed a hint of pain.
After noticing that Queen Isabella's mental fluctuations began to become unstable, Su Ziyu decisively stretched out his palm and placed it on the back of the opponent's head, and then activated his ability to connect with his mind, using his spiritual will to help She soothes the mind.
Nothing can happen to Queen Isabella at this time.
There was a moment of trance in the mind.
Then a biting pain was transmitted to Su Ziyu's body along the spiritual connection, but this stinging feeling did not come from Queen Isabella, because she was also a passively connected being.
"Help...save me...save me!..."
"Aunt Isabella!..."
"Help me!... I feel so uncomfortable!... "
A mental consciousness that was so painful that it trembled and even lost its voice was transmitted. Su Ziyu's vision blurred for a moment, and then his senses shared everything that Queen Isabella saw.
It was an extremely magnificent golden palace.
There are hundreds of white jade-like steps going up. In the main hall directly in front are marble columns with a diameter of several meters. They look like temples where ancient gods live. In front of the empty main hall is a finely carved The carved golden throne, each pattern is full of peculiar rhythm, as if it is the masterpiece of a certain master.
But at this time, there was no one on the huge golden throne.
Su Ziyu's sight passed through the thick wall and entered a special secret room at the back of the hall.
A canned crystal with a diameter of more than five meters appeared in front of him. There were more than a dozen people wearing metal masks around him who were busy in front of various instruments. Silver-white metal tubes were connected to the front. Within the crystal, many corrugated patterns were projected in front of a large number of instruments.
"His Majesty the Emperor's mind is unstable."
“Inject him with sedatives immediately!…”
"Doctor prepare."
"If the mind fluctuations are still unstable, just implant the artificial brain directly!..."
"The power of the mind suppression barrier reaches 65%!..."
“Turn up the frequency of mind synchronization!…”
Amidst the chaos, Su Ziyu's sight passed through the crystal jar in front of him, and then he saw a naked young man who was completely sealed inside, his whole body submerged in a light blue liquid.
He looks relatively handsome, and his eyebrows are vaguely similar to Queen Isabella.
There were about thirty silver-white metal tubes inserted into various parts of his body. At the same time, a small hole was made in his brain near the cervical spine. A small hole could be seen through the wound. A tiny white part of the brain structure, and a circle of shallow wounds on both sides, have been healed through nano-repair technology, but the shaved hair has not yet grown back, and an extremely precise chip has been implanted on both sides, some kind of The nano-nerve bundle device penetrates directly into the brain and is emitting very, very weak electromagnetic signals.
"William..." Queen Isabella growled in pain.
no doubt.
The young man locked in the sealed jar is her nephew, Prince William, or the current emperor.
The royal family members all have considerable psychic talents in their blood.
Prince William seemed to be in extreme pain, and his spiritual energy exploded to a certain extent, transmitting his own spiritual fluctuations.
"what is that?"
"What are they doing?" Su Ziyu asked in a deep voice after the illusion in front of him disappeared.
This is simply a real puppet emperor.
The extreme pain caused by the fluctuations in the mind made Su Ziyu feel a little bit the same. He could more or less know what the people of the Mechanicus had done to the current emperor. He could tell just by looking at the wounds on the outside. Prince William's head has been opened and studied.
"Those damn rebels!" Queen Isabella's emotions were on the verge of losing control, with wisps of blood appearing in her pupils. Under Su Ziyu's spiritual comfort, she calmed down a little and said slowly: "It's a psychic synchronization device. ”
"William's psionic energy cannot fully activate the psionic attunement device."
"They want to transform William into a humanoid psychically stable wave transmitter!..."
Real*Psychic Transmitter*Fake*Imperial Emperor.
The sequelae of the failed psychic ascension are still affecting the people of the Empire. Therefore, the Mechanicum has held back for so many years because they cannot replace the members of the royal family and activate the psychic attunement device to appease the minds of the people of the entire empire.
The psychic suppression barrier is only the outermost design of the psychic attunement device. Without the comfort of the psychic attunement device, all Imperial people will quickly fall into mental madness.
When Queen Isabella was on the throne, the people of the Mechanicus certainly did not dare to take action.
But now the life and death of Queen Isabella is unknown, and even her body cannot be found on the battlefield. This gives the people of the Mechanicum an opportunity to completely control the royal family and control the telepathy device. They quickly launched a coup and took control of Prince William, then sent people to take over the psychic attunement center under the Golden Palace, and then began to research a device that could stably and continuously emit psychic soothing waves.
And at the heart of this installation is Prince William.
The current emperor of the empire.
"They will implant an Ames chip in William." Queen Isabella's voice was a little low and indignant as she murmured: "Replace his brain with an artificial brain, simplify his thoughts, and become a stable and continuous place. A device that emits spiritual waves of joy.”
"Damn it!"
“We are too late!…”
