After receiving the news from the servant, Sage Sigmar walked into the depths of the underground space.
The underground space was shrouded in darkness and there was no air.
When you walk, the sound of your footsteps will echo in the space with smooth stone walls.
Go deeper along the smooth underground space.
The sage's followers can be seen checking everything in the cave.
Some servants used their own mechanical devices to drill open the incomplete stone statues and take out samples from different positions for research and comparison.
Some servants are also testing the age of the rock strata of the caves to confirm the history and origin of the caves.
Go to the deepest part of the underground space.
A mechanical priest was standing in front of a huge black wall made of unknown material.
The indicator light on the portable data detection device in his hand flickered.
The closer you get to the wall, the readings rise exponentially.
"It looks like we've found something interesting." Sage Sigma moved his heavy mechanical limbs, and his face full of biochemical implants revealed the joy of discovering a treasure.
The insect-like metal viewing mirror slowly came to Sigma's electronic eyes with the sound of mechanical gears turning, presenting the microscopic structure of the wall in her mind.
The other mechanical eye moved back and forth, scanning the special patterns on the wall.
"It's amazing. Such a perfect organization. Their understanding and skills of the warp have reached the pinnacle."
Sigma reached out and touched the wall. The voice coming from the communication array was filled with excitement and excitement.
A large number of micro-instruments have been implanted in her smooth metal fingers, allowing her to quickly analyze the material and properties of the wall.
Arm vibration is gradually reduced as the hydraulic compensator on the arm is calibrated.
Cooling steam was released from the hinge with a hissing sound as it moved.
"Can we open it?" Shar looked at the wall covered with countless special patterns and asked, "There may be something important inside."
"The secret of that power is hidden in it, the opposite of those giants who claim to be just and kind." Sigmar read the special symbols on it, combined them with the ancient text of this world, and deduced the secret of those symbols.
"It's not difficult to open it. This wall is just a shell."
The murals and symbols on the walls record secrets from the ancient times.
A group of giants who lost themselves due to the backlash of power were sealed here.
Tens of millions of years have passed.
It was an unimaginable time.
After such a long period of time, it is not impossible that the world has changed dramatically.
Information was obtained from those readings, and the sealed creature inside was still alive.
Such means and techniques are not much different from those of the space undead who have been sleeping for 60 million years.
The Necrons' technology is derived from the ancient C'tan gods.
So which ancient race did this sealing technology come from
No matter which race created these giant powers, its civilization, technology and culture have definitely reached their peak.
From the perspective of the Mechanicus, any creation that cannot be controlled is a failure.
These sealed giants are undoubtedly failed products left over from the ancient times.
However, failed products are not without value.
From a scientific research perspective, the existence of failed products makes it easier for people to reverse-engineer the secret of the giant's power.
A metal tentacle extended from Sigma Sage's huge and bloated body.
The metal tentacle stopped fifty centimeters away from the wall and released a special light.
When the light hit the wall, the wall melted like ice meeting lava.
As the wall melted away, tens of millions of failed items were sealed in front of Sage Sigma and Captain Shar.
Behind the wall is a huge cave that is polished and smooth, and has countless special patterns carved on it.
In its center is a polished stone platform, on which stand three giants turned into stone statues.
It can be seen that they are no different from the currently active Ultraman.
All three stone statues have obvious gender characteristics.
One woman and two men.
If the writing on the wall is not deceiving.
Then these stone statues are the failed products of the super ancient giant warriors.
Sealed here to avoid causing trouble.
The warriors who were supposed to harness the power of the giants were instead controlled by it, bringing out the evil in their hearts.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the empire.
Before the firewall was established, many psychics would have taken that path.
The power of the warp is not so easy to control.
It is extremely easy to encounter backlash.
The same must be true of the power of the giant.
If it is truly flawless, then how could the creator of this power disappear into the universe!
The strength of those giants should not be underestimated.
Able to fly at the speed of light in space, with high maneuverability, high defense and high output.
According to some rumors, some Ultramen are able to release beams powerful enough to destroy stars.
There is nothing special about destroying stars.
The problem is that those Ultramen are individuals, unlike the Empire's battleships which require a group of people to operate.
Once a space war breaks out, those Ultramen will be more flexible.
The Imperial fleet may not be able to gain the upper hand.
Unless we get the help of a creator who created the power of giants, like when dealing with the Undead, it will be possible to win the war easily.
The reason why the Undeads led by the Silent King failed so easily.
A big reason for this is that the Void Dragon has joined the human side.
The technology of the Undead is completely suppressed by humans.
Only then will the army suffer a crushing defeat and be unable to organize even a decent resistance.
If the Human Empire wants to defeat Ultraman, the price it will have to pay is absolutely unimaginable.
However, the civilization that created the power of Titan, or Ultraman, has now disappeared without a trace.
With such powerful technology in hand, they ended up in destruction.
This shows that the power of the giant is not invincible and there may be fatal weaknesses.
As for the speculation among the natives that the power of the giants was created by the Kingdom of Light, it is absolutely nonsense.
Ultraman from tens of millions of years ago can be found all over the earth.
The Kingdom of Light was established less than 300,000 years ago.
Did they travel back in time to teach the ancients how to use the power of giants, and then travel back again to form a perfect closed loop?
The Kingdom of Light is only a civilization that utilizes the power of giants, not a civilization that creates the power of giants.
Perhaps they don't even understand the essence of the giant's power.
Just simply use that power.
Magus Sigmar scanned the statues with his equipment.
But he found that there was an invisible barrier blocking the scanning equipment.
The barrier has existed for who knows how many years.
But it still runs.
There were no conspicuous machines to be seen.
Only the platforms where the statues stand have those special patterns carved on their surfaces.
The civilization that created this barrier not only had a deep understanding of the subspace, but also utilized it to the extreme level.
It is possible to create a sealing mechanism that can still function even if civilization has disappeared in the long river of history.
A voice came from Shar's communicator.
He listened for a few seconds, then turned to look at Sage Sigmar.
"If we don't want to start a war, we have to leave early if the natives are here."
"We have to take them away." Sage Sigma said, "They will be useful for our research."
"How do we take him away?" Shar looked at the sage, and the voice coming from under the metal grille was full of doubt.
One of Sigma Sage's mechanical arms stretched out, and in the open mechanical palm there was a rotating, glowing metal sphere.
"I have a storage ball from another dimension in my hand. It can store some non-living things. There is enough space inside to take this island away. But we don't need to take it away."
"This is the technology of those metal undead!" Shar said with a hint of disgust in his tone.
"The Holy Emperor has reached a cooperation with the Star God, and the knowledge is neutral. It doesn't belong to anyone." Sage Sigma walked towards the wall, the metal ball in his hand spinning at high speed.
I was just about to cut out the space where the three stone statues were and put it into the dimensional space.
The invisible barrier began to fluctuate slightly at this moment.
It's like being attracted by something.
"Is it the key? Is it those natives? One of them caused the seal to resonate, just like when the sensor lock senses the key, it automatically activates."
Sage Sigmar detects fluctuations in the invisible barrier.
He quickly locked onto the indigenous human who could resonate with the seal.
The other party is valuable.
It may bring unexpected results for the study of ultra-ancient civilizations.
"Let your men take this woman away. She is an important asset target." Sage Sigma said to Shar.
... ... ... ..
... ... ... .
A loud explosion sounded in the sky.
The Hiyan, which was responsible for providing high-altitude support, and the Zeus of the North American GUARD team turned into fireballs in the sky, and debris flew everywhere in the raging fire.
"Da Gu." GUTS member Lina's face turned pale and she screamed.
"Damn, the communicator can't get through." GUTS team member Xincheng pressed the communicator in his hand and said anxiously.
Seeing the destruction of the fighter plane, the faces of the members of both teams changed drastically.
The pilots of the fighter jets are their partners who they spend every day with.
Tried to contact them, but no response.
They had given up hope that the two pilots would survive.
"Damn it, those Imperials must have taken action. They know we are coming." Digjing, a member of the GUTS team, said angrily, "We must not let those guys go."
"Blood debt must be repaid with blood." A Chinese member of GUARD said word by word.
"God will not let them go." The white members of GUARD also expressed anger.
Iruma Keigang wanted to say something to boost morale, get them to regroup, and ask the headquarters to send people to support them.
The black, thick and big muzzle of the gun was pressed against her smooth forehead.
A tall and burly giant wearing armor appeared in front of where there was nothing originally.
In front of the giant, Megumi Iruma was as soft as a little girl.
The other person's armored arm alone was thicker than her entire body.
The other team members didn't have time to make any move.
Then he found that there was a gun pointed at him.
The warriors suddenly appeared beside them like ghosts.
The huge muzzle of the gun was pressing against their little heads.
The caliber of that gun is comparable to that of a cannon.
The impact alone was enough to shatter them to pieces.
"Mortal," said a giant, "do not do anything that could lead us to misunderstand you."
Captain Iruma Hui raised her hands, and her proud figure was fully displayed with her movements.
"We won't do that, please calm down."
While digging the well, Xincheng and others slowly removed their hands from the blaster bags on their waists.
The other party's gun was already pointed at them.
Even if they could find an opportunity to shoot.
Blasters may not be able to penetrate the opponent's armor.
Iruma Hui looked at those huge armored giants. She knew very well that it would not take too much effort for them to kill everyone here.
Is this the barbaric war creature created by the Empire
Just like those monsters that wantonly destroy beauty.
They must also be here to destroy people's beauty.
"Are you the so-called empire?" asked Iruma Kei.
But the other party did not answer her.
The crackling sound of electricity echoed in the communication.
They are communicating on their own channels.
A few seconds later, a stun grenade was thrown into the crowd.
Jujing, Lina, Xincheng and others all felt a buzzing in their heads, as if their souls were hit hard by something.
Everything in front of my eyes was blank.
The five senses also disappeared without a trace.
It was not until several minutes later that they were able to see again.
The giants have disappeared, and Captain Iruma Kei is also missing.
It was obvious that he was taken away by those people.
"The captain was taken away by them."
Vice Captain Zong Fang was the first to react.
"Damn it, those bastards, they killed Da Gu and now kidnapped the captain." Di Jing took out the blaster from the gun bag on his waist, "They must not have gone far, let's go search quickly."
"Lina, you are responsible for contacting the headquarters and requesting support. The rest of you, come with me to search and rescue Captain Iruma Kei.
"Jujing, Xincheng, captain." At this time, Dagu's voice came from a distance.
He also supported the pilot of the GUARD Zeus, who had injured his foot in the explosion.
"Da Gu, you're still alive." Xin Cheng shouted excitedly.
The GUARD team members were also excited that their pilot was able to survive.
Da Gu looked around but found no trace of the captain.
“Where’s Captain Iruma Kei
”
When the team members heard Dagu's question, they all sighed.
"The Imperials we were chasing just now showed up, but they pointed guns at us and we didn't dare to move. Then they all suddenly left, taking the captain with them." Xincheng said dejectedly, "We were just about to go find the captain when we heard your voice."
When Dagu heard this, he suddenly felt a little angry.
I didn't expect that the captain was taken away by those imperial people.
"Then let's go find Captain Iruma Hui as soon as possible. We must not let them take the captain away." Da Gu said firmly: "The captain is so good to us, we must not give up on her."
The other team members nodded.
"Then let us help you find Captain Iruma Kei." The white captain of the GUARD team also spoke up.
The island was not big, and the group searched it quickly.
But nothing was found.
They also found a special passage inside the volcano, entered the underground space, discovered those ultra-ancient ruins, and saw some human traces that were left not long ago.
The Imperial organization that took Captain Iruma Kei away conducted survey work here.
Some rock samples were also taken away.
But there is still no sign of Captain Iruma Kei and the Imperials.
When support arrived, they used GUTS's authority to let Nori, who stayed at the headquarters, call the satellite, but no abnormalities were found on the island.
From beginning to end, we only found footage of two teams entering the unnamed island, and no ships or planes belonging to the Empire were seen leaving.
Those mysterious imperial people and Captain Iruma Kei seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
... ... ..
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Megumi Iruma fell into a coma.
Until I was awakened by a loud buzzing sound like the chirping of insects.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a skull-shaped floating machine.
The scene in front of her made Iruma Hui feel a little scared.
That thing looked like it was made of human skull plated with silver and polished.
A red visual device and various mechanical tentacles that are connected to the nerves and vertebrae of the brain are installed inside the skull.
What kind of madman would make a good machine look like this
Her uniform had been replaced with loose-fitting clothing made of soft fabric.
The dress was very long and covered her whole body.
There's nothing inside.
He was wearing only one piece of clothing.
Even loose clothing can hardly hide her proud figure.
The slender waist and towering sexual features are faintly visible.
Looking around, she found herself in a clean, tidy, well-ventilated and well-lit place.
Everything around was spotless, and fragrant plants hung from the glossy walls.
The interior furnishings were softer than she could have dreamed of.
An invisible energy field was flickering at the door.
Iruma Kei walked to the side of the force field, and when he stretched out his hand, he felt the strength of the force field.
Even the laser cannon installed on the Feiyan may not be able to destroy this force field.
With her strength, it is impossible to do it.
She was brought here by the giants.
What do those guys want from her!
The sound of conversation came from outside the force field.
There is a cold and steady one, with the iron blood unique to a warrior.
The other one was mechanical and heartless, as if it came from a robot, without any emotion at all.
A slight hissing sound was heard, and the energy field flickered like water waves, revealing the scene behind the force field.
A giant in iron armor and a man with metal prosthetic limbs all over his body and little flesh and blood.
Even the face has been changed into a metal mask, without any human flesh and blood.
Iruma Kei subconsciously took two steps back.
She felt that this world was a little too crazy.
"I hope I didn't scare you, Captain Iruma. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a sage from the Adeptus Mechanicus. You can call me Sage Sigma. The man next to me is the third captain of the Sharknado, Shar."
"The Holy Emperor always taught us to treat the scattered branches of humanity with kindness and love, and strive to make them feel the glory of the empire and join it peacefully."
"I had no choice but to invite you here in this way. Your aggressiveness makes us feel uneasy."
Sage Sigmar introduced himself softly in the standard local language.
"You attacked my team members, and now you say we pose a threat to you?" Iruma Hui retorted angrily.
"I have no intention of continuing to argue about this matter. Doing so will not benefit our communication and will only lead us into meaningless quarrels and debates." Sage Sigma said, "I am talking to you in the hope of peace, Captain Iruma Kei. I hope that both of us can put aside our differences and work together to create a better future for mankind."
"Creating the future with lunatics like you?" Iruma Kei sneered, "Look at how you look and what you do, aren't you the source of nightmares and chaos!
”
"I can tell you very clearly that all of this is your one-sided view. We all exist for a beautiful and noble purpose. We are committed to promoting a cause that will ultimately make everyone happy." Sigma Sage said: "You don't understand this very well, so you make a wrong assessment of us."
"Killing people, inciting dictatorship, enslaving monsters, is this your business? I don't see any place that can make people happy. You only lead people into the abyss of suffering." Iruma Hui said angrily: "You even killed one of my teammates just now. He was so kind that he would cry even if he hurt others unintentionally. But you killed him mercilessly and destroyed his fighter plane, leaving no trace of his body."
"You don't understand your teammates, right?" Sage Sigma did not directly answer Iruma Hui's question, but asked another question in return.
"No, I know him very well. Every member of GUTS is my family."
"Then why do you think your team member is dead? He possesses the power of the giant, and the explosion is just a trivial trouble for him. We are responsible for the exploration mission, and we will not kill people unless it is absolutely necessary."
Sage Sigma waved his mechanical arm, opening a glowing interface in the empty air.
It shows the scenes of the explosion of the Hiyan and Zeus.
A ray of light was hidden in the dazzling fire released by the disintegration of the fighter plane.
As the camera zooms in further, it can be seen that the driver, Da Gu, is covered in light.
In the next frame, he turned into Ultraman.
"Diga!
"There was disbelief in Iruma Kei's tone.
"Yes, Tiga. This is the name you use to address this Ultraman who possesses the power of a giant."
Sigma opened another screen.
The GUTS team is surveying the island, searching for her.
"Where on earth has the captain gone
"Mongfang said sadly.
"She will be fine." Lina encouraged Zongfang.
"We will definitely find the captain."
The voice came from Daiko, whom Iruma Kei thought had been sacrificed.
Look at the images displayed in those information windows.
Iruma Hui remained silent, but felt touched.
She tried hard to control her emotions.
We can't let those imperial people find our weaknesses and loopholes.
"They are all fine," said Sage Sigma.
"I will not be persuaded by you, Imperial. I will never tolerate a dictator establishing an empire to enslave other lives. Even if they are just monsters, they have their own freedom and dignity and should not be slaves."
"So for this noble purpose, you will let your companions die." Sage Sigmar asked back, "Watching them sink into powerless despair and eventually fall into the abyss."
"What do you mean? Are you going to start a war?" Iruma Megumi stood up suddenly: "The Ultramen will not let you do what you want."
"Ultraman? Do you think they will always protect humans? Haven't the memories passed down by your ancestors awakened in your brain? Those things in the dark are coming. They have been hiding for many years, hungry. Will those so-called Ultramen really shed their last drop of blood for humans? Maybe those humans born on Earth and Mars will do that, but will those Ultramen from other places really do that?"
"Have you forgotten the previous incidents? Ultraman once declared that they would not interfere with human choices, even if humans were passive and made choices without knowing their minds. When the dark things bewitched the minds of humans and made them make wrong choices, would those Ultramen turn around and leave because they respected human choices?"
Iruma Kei was somewhat shaken.
With the arrival of the alien spacecraft, Iruma Kei has begun to awaken those ancient memories.
She knew the other party was not wrong.
In the ancient times, the Chijiehua crisis broke out, immersing all human beings in an illusory dream, unable to extricate themselves.
Those super ancient warriors did not interfere with the human's choice and chose to leave.
After the dark apocalypse, the super ancient civilization was destroyed.
Just as the other party said, Ultraman will not protect humans forever.
"What do you want from me?" asked Iruma Kei weakly.
The other party's words were like a hammer hitting her psychological defenses.
This made her question and feel confused about Ultraman's protection.
A crack appeared in her heart, and she lost the strength to fight back.
"You are very special, Captain Iruma Kei. The destroyed super ancient human civilization left some necessary means for their descendants to try to prevent you from going down the path of destruction. You are an inheritor, and the power and wisdom of your ancestors are hidden in your body."
"You can help the empire gain the power of the giants and master the principles and essence of this power."
Hear Sigma's words.
Iruma Kei looked into the other person's eyes and understood the intentions behind the Empire Organization's long-term actions.
"You want to master the power of Ultraman, but no, that is wrong. Without a kind heart, you cannot control that kind of power. Just like the ancient Ultraman Wars, you will be backfired by that power and end up killing each other."
"It seems that you have recovered the memories of your ancestors and learned some things from the ancient times." Sigma Sage's metal mask showed a hint of expectation. "It is precisely because we are worried that we cannot control that power that we invited you here, Captain Iruma Kei."
"We hope to get your help in assisting the Empire to obtain complete Titan Power technology."
"No, that's too crazy." Naruma Hui shook his head fiercely, "Why do you want to obtain those technologies!
Do you want to create an Ultraman army for your Emperor? Like the Kingdom of Light? I can't help you, you will bring destruction and war."
"No, we won't." Sage Sigma extended a mechanical arm and placed his cold metal palm in front of Iruma Hui, like a gentleman extending his hand to invite a lady. "I said that every living being in the empire is working for a great cause that, if successful, will bring happiness to all mankind. The emperor of the empire is definitely not the kind of dictator you imagine who will do anything for power. The burden borne by the Holy Emperor is unimaginable to us."
"I can reveal the truth to you, so that you will understand that everything the Empire does is for humanity itself. You will also see what sacrifices the dictator you thought made for humanity. Believe me, war and killing are not the original intention of the Empire. Only by understanding it deeply can you understand the helplessness behind all this."
Iruma Kei looked at the other party's metal palm, hesitant.
How could she be so shaken!
Being disturbed by the words of an evil-looking mechanical man began to doubt his own beliefs.
The power of Ultraman should only be in the hands of those with good hearts.
How could it be in the hands of an evil, dictatorial empire
That kind of thing is horrible.
But the other party's words are so deeply rooted in people's hearts.
He hit her soft spot again and again, making her unable to control herself and want more.
"Captain Iruma Kei, you don't want your team members and family to be swallowed by darkness!
”
Sigma Sage's last words broke down Iruma Kei's psychological defenses.
She placed her hand on the other's cold mechanical palm.
"Do not let me catch you lying to me, Imperial."
