Ancient star desert, somewhere in the barren cosmos belt, cloud magnetar.
This is one of the church settlements of the Mechanicism. The earth is yellow and black. The heavy bases with the Mechanicism style are rooted on the surface and are neatly arranged to form a ring-shaped industrial city, surrounded by open-air mines with countless hangings. Large industrial crane. The city streets stretched in all directions, all flattened gray roads, and groups of transport vehicles whizzed past, passing pedestrians wearing heavy power armor on both sides of the street.
In the center of the ring-shaped city is a mountain that rises from the ground, which is cut off from the middle and turned into a platform. There is a community of mechanical temples. There is a floating island above it, releasing a soft artificial light.
There are many members of the Mechanicum, with many internal factions, loose management, and wandering. Generally, they are centered on the great priests and various bishops, and gather a group of followers of different factions to form a fleet to search for planets in the universe and continue to migrate. . The goal is to excavate the planet's minerals and underground mechanical wreckage, hoard or sell it, so most of the planets occupied by the Mechanic Sect are only temporary strongholds, which means a bit of a wandering sect.
The number of fixed strongholds of the Mechanicum religion is not large, some are branches of different factions, some are long-term settlements of believers such as cloud magnetars, and holy places recognized by all believers.
But now, the blue-black sky of the cloud magnetar is hovering over the reloaded fleets of the three major civilizations, but the believers on the surface are not surprised.
The three major civilizations have already greeted the Mechanicism. This kind of religious loose organization has always been difficult to manage. The three major civilizations do not trust the Mechanic’s ability to execute orders, so they simply send a fleet to station and treat it as a trap node.
At this moment, on the open-air platform at the top of the Mechanical Temple, the great priest in the bishop's armor looked up at the fleet of the sky and whispered to himself.
When the priest next to him saw this, he stepped forward and asked, "Grand priest, are you worried about the fleet of the three major civilizations?"
The great priest shook his head: "We are just a civil association, abiding by the law, and we don't have much interaction with the three major civilizations. They will not do anything to us. I am glad that the three major civilizations are here."
"Happy?"
"Yeah, since the outbreak of the intelligent plague, the fanatics in the sect have been increasing day by day. They not only study the virtual mutiny virus in private, but even want to spread it out. This goes against the original intention of the Mechanicism's neutrality. Their distorted beliefs will bring the sect. Disaster, now the three major civilization fleets are here, indirectly quelling those fanatics." The Grand Priest murmured.
Looking back now, his heart is still a little heavy.
After the three major civilizations developed the three-piece antivirus, some fanatics even used the banner of "promoting the divine enlightenment", wanting to improve the virus and crack the three-piece antivirus, so as to keep the intelligent plague going, insisting that this is the case. A great smart revolution.
So he had no choice but to mobilize a team of guardians to lock up these people, but this trend of thought remained and still spread in this settlement.
"Well, maybe." The priest paused and said doubtfully: "I still don't understand what the three major civilizations are doing temporarily requisitioning our settlement."
"It seems to be about the operation of the intelligent plague, I'm not particularly clear..." The great priest shook his head.
Before he finished speaking, the armor's built-in radar suddenly responded.
"Detected anomalies in the planet's magnetic field, resulting in eddy currents, coordinates..."
The great priest was stunned for a moment, and turned his head with his companions, looking in the direction of the magnetic field vortex.
The magnetic field of the cloud magnetar is very special. The armor of the Mechanicists here has a special monitor for the magnetic field. At this time, everyone heard the radar report, and pedestrians on the street stopped one after another and looked in the same direction.
Everyone switched to the electromagnetic induction field of vision, the flow of the magnetic field was clearly visible, and the electromagnetic field seemed to form a tornado in the distant sky, and a dazzling arc was born out of thin air, which was rapidly forming an energy field.
And at this moment, the mutation suddenly occurred!
rumbling—
I saw one after another dazzling meteors flew out from the three major civilization fleets in outer space and quickly fell to the direction of the electromagnetic field vortex.
Although these meteors are not big, they all exude amazing energy fluctuations, dragging out dazzling electro-optical trajectories.
"what is that?!"
Including the great priest, the Mechanicists of Yun Magneto were in shock.
At this moment, this batch of meteors had reached the position of the electromagnetic field eddy current, and they all stopped, dispersing all the firelight, revealing the appearance of the mechanical body, all of which are the master clones of each Transcendent A Grade mechanic.
Manison, who was headed by him, moved the fastest. I saw him raising his eyes and staring, and the electromagnetic eddy current stopped for a moment. Then he raised his hand and grabbed it. in the triangular container.
In the next moment, the abnormal electromagnetic eddy current phenomenon disappeared, as if the wind and the rain stopped and the sky was clear, as if the electromagnetic tornado just now was just an illusion.
"Those are the dominion clones of Transcendent A Grade mechanics?!"
Seeing this scene, although I don't know what happened, the Mechanicists were instantly excited.
In their eyes, the appearance of so many Transcendent A Grade mechanics is no less than the arrival of gods.
However, before they could be pleasantly surprised, the situation on the field changed drastically again.
I saw other Transcendent A Grade master clones who were one step behind, and shot Manison at the same time, raising his hand was a backstab.
Bang bang bang! !
The light exploded in mid-air, reflecting in the eyes of countless Mechanicists.
The next second, Manison's dominion clone flew out of the explosion, and was then surrounded by everyone and confronted each other.
Seeing this, a look of amazement flashed across the pupils of every believer.
Are these Transcendent A Grade mechanics going to fight here? So are we not involved in a "war of gods"? !
…
Rewind time by ten seconds.
Among the three major civilization fleets in the outer space of Yun Magneto, there are mechanical troops of different mechanics suspended, and some of the mechanical troops are guarding their respective master clones.
At the moment when the virus core was separated from the quantum network, the dominant consciousness of everyone chased after him, and the eyes of a mechanical body suddenly lit up.
"Target locked!"
As soon as Han Xiao arrived, the sound of the detection radar sounded in his ears.
At the same time, a black shadow fell rapidly not far away. It was Manison's clone, and the entity that rushed to the core of the virus took the lead.
"Old things are so fast!"
This thought flashed through his mind with the electric light and flint. Han Xiao was about to use the skills, but found that the flashing abilities such as Void Shift were all unavailable.
His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly understood something. Without delay, he immediately followed him and fell to the ground, followed by a succession of meteors, all of which were clones or troops of other people.
boom!
A group of people passed through the atmosphere back and forth, flying at high speed and rubbing a coat of flames.
Han Xiao stared closely at the target, the electromagnetic eddy current rapidly enlarged in his sight, and the distance was shortened in an instant.
The core of the virus has just separated from the quantum network, and is mobilizing the magnetic field to gather electromagnetic energy to shape the body. At this time, it finds a group of super-a-level master clones approaching, it will immediately give up its materialization, and re-enter the field of quantum network to escape.
However, in an instant, Manison's eyes spurted a strong electric light, and he activated the [Supreme Virtual] first!
hum! !
The virtual soul at the core of the virus was instantly stunned, unable to escape from the shell that was not yet fully formed.
Manison moved smoothly without any pause. He quickly took out a special containment device and sucked the core of the virus into it.
This kind of container is specially designed to contain the virus core, which can achieve perfect containment. As long as it is caught, the virus core will never escape.
"Old Maitou succeeded!"
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed.
But at the next moment, the other dominion clones that followed, launched an attack at the same time, and a highly concentrated beam of light brushed his body and went straight to Manison's back.
Bang bang bang bang!
Manison had long expected that layers of shields appeared, blocking everyone's concentrated fire, and a violent explosion suddenly occurred.
With the help of this thrust, he quickly opened the distance, and turned to face the crowd, holding the container containing the virus core in his hand.
The crowd gathered around and confronted Manison.
"Be careful, if you destroy the container, I'll be wasting my time."
Manison was not angry at all, said lightly.
The direct descendant of the Radiance Federation, the guardian Rama said in a deep voice: "Manison, hand in the virus core, you know very well that this kind of thing cannot be spread."
The remote projections of Sidruen and other leaders were generated next to them, with a serious tone: "Yes, Your Excellency Tool Nation, you are a sensible person, our three major civilizations will definitely reward you for capturing the core of the virus, but this thing, It is absolutely not allowed to remain in the hands of others.”
"Hehe, don't be so nervous. When I finish my research, I will not only hand in the virus core, but also share the technology I analyzed."
Manison is very casual and unhurried.
Han Xiao didn't speak, looked around, nodded secretly, and had expected the current situation.
Someone in the previous life intercepted the core of the virus, and they should have succeeded quietly, but the current situation is completely different. The core of the virus is a hot potato. No matter which mechanic succeeds, it will immediately face difficulties and be targeted by other mechanics. At the same time, three A great civilization is bound to demand it in public.
Battleships are not helpful for capturing the core of the virus. Why did the three major civilizations deploy fleets at trap nodes? Obviously, this is not used to deal with the core of the virus, but to deal with their Transcendent A Grade mechanics!
The dominion clones present basically have short-range leap capabilities, and Han Xiao even has Void Flash, but no one uses it. It is precisely because the fleet has activated the space-time anchor at the trap node early, prohibiting the leap and preventing anyone from running away.
It is precisely because the time and space around the cloud magnetar has been imprisoned that Manison will stay here to make a fuss, otherwise he will run away in a leap the moment he succeeds.
If you want to leave with the virus core... you can only fight it out!
However, although the three major civilizations and other mechanics tried to take away the core of the virus, they were worried about destroying the container, so they were more restrained even if they attacked.
The three major civilizations prefer to take back the core of the virus from Manison by negotiation, and they are even prepared for the other party to sit on the ground and raise prices.
"Tool Nation, the virtual mutiny virus is a strategic weapon technology that can threaten the entire universe. Only when the three major civilizations control it will there be no hidden dangers. We do not allow any risks to exist, so today no matter what, we must get the core of the virus, you The seriousness of the problem should be understood."
The head of the supervisor of Ethereal Religion has a firm tone.
Manison did not respond immediately, but glanced at the clones of other mechanics and slowly said:
"Did you see that whoever gets the core of the virus has to face such a situation, do you still want to continue to snatch it?"
"To be honest, I'm not that interested in the core of the virus. After all, I'm not a virtual mechanic... But well, I don't mind using this chip in exchange for more good things." Kant smiled.
"Don't look at me, as long as I get the core of the virus, I can regain my freedom, and now I stand on the side of the ethereal." Mechanical disaster Francisco said.
"As long as there is a chance, we must strive for it with all our strength... Teacher, this is what you taught me." The Mechanical Queen Mornisa said calmly.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Although the reasons were different, they all expressed their determination to win.
In the end, Manison's gaze stayed on Han Xiao.
"Black Star, what about you?"
Han Xiao did not answer directly, but raised his tone and played with his taste: "You asked around, not just chatting casually, are you procrastinating, or are you trying to find an ally temporarily?"
Hearing this, Manison suddenly smiled.
"Black Star, you still understand me...
Yes, I need an ally to accompany me to deal with this difficult situation. You and I both understand the situation of Transcendent A Grade. We are on the same front. I study virtual mutiny virus technology, not just for pure technical pursuits , but also to secure a guarantee for Transcendent A Grade. If you are willing to help me, I don't mind you and me to study this technology together. "
The voice fell, and everyone's eyes turned to Han Xiao, curious, vigilant, and joking.
Han Xiao was indifferent and said casually:
"Sounds good, but I think you'll break your promise."
"Hehe, you may not believe me, but I need one person to accompany me to take this risk. It is in my interests that two people control this technology, so I won't break my promise this time."
"Tsk tsk, empty words are useless, no matter how nice they are."
"Then how do you want me to prove it?"
Han Xiao pointed to the container in Manison's hand, and smiled softly:
"Since you are willing to study together, then it is the same for us who take the virus core. You give me the device, I will take the risk, and you will help me break through, so that I will trust your sincerity, otherwise you are deceiving my feelings. ."
"I have no problem, but when the thing is in your hands, are you willing to study it together? How can I be sure that you will not break the contract?" Manison asked back.
"As you said just now, a person is too big to attract wind, and I also need a shield." Han Xiao spread his hands.
Manison was silent for a few seconds, and when the atmosphere became more condensed, he spoke slowly, and his attitude suddenly surprised everyone.
"If that's the case... why not leave it to you?"
