When the command center was silent for a few seconds, Sandora called again: "Engineering team, return immediately, your mission has been completed, repeat, return immediately, this is an order."
A few seconds passed, and there was still no response. The people at the scene looked at each other: something happened
Tavel, who was in charge of on-site dispatch, immediately judged that the situation might not be good. The signal of the working ship had been completely lost on the communicator, and every member of the first engineering team had disconnected from the mental network. This made the situation worse in an instant. The joy of completion turns into sudden disaster. After another failed call, Tavel turned to her assistant team: "Emergency support team, check all channels immediately, the obelisk increases the output power and prepares to forcefully enter the gate, the second engineering team is ready to pick up the ship, your ship is the only one now I can still enter the gate..." Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by a report from the lower console: "Chief technician, the stability of the gate of the abyss is declining rapidly! The output of the obelisk is about to reach its limit!"
"What!?" Tavel looked at the monitoring data in shock. If she had learned cursing, she must have scolded by this time. "What's going on? Why did the stability of the gate suddenly drop?"
A senior assistant technician quickly checked the data and instrument logs, and reported loudly: "The reason is unknown, but we must have caused too much information exchange between the abyss domain and the material world... This is illogical. When the deep dive started, the gate ’s stability didn’t drop that much. And this time we only sent a few databases…”
"Okay, we will analyze the accident later, and now we must find a way to rescue the engineering team!" Sandora suddenly interrupted the assistant technician's analysis. "Tavier, what can we do in this situation?"
Tavel is paying close attention to the readings of the gate of the abyss, frowning: "Almost nothing can be done. The gate has begun to collapse, and now we have activated all the obelisks to suppress this process. Only in this way can it support the nearby The garrison troops evacuated the scene, but there was nothing more that could be done. The abyss gate that began to collapse would first transform from a phenomenon into a semi-entity, and the black surface had shown a tendency to assimilate with the material world, and soon this The black surface of the layer will crack, and when it cracks to penetrate the entire plane, it will be a big eruption. The door must be destroyed before that. Anything passing through the door now will cause the crack to grow. Once it is in the material world and the abyss realm If there is a large enough hole between them, the collapse speed of the gate will increase dozens of times... We can send some people into the gate. Or a small boat, but the upper limit is only this, and the penetration behavior of a larger volume will completely shatter it its."
My sister and Lin Xue all looked nervous, but they didn't know what to do. Although they are powerful now, they lack experience after all. They don't know how to help in this situation, but they quickly Switched the personality. Started to manipulate her powerful time power, although Qianqian under Li personality has a bad personality, it is undeniable that she is more... um, smarter than Biao personality. She looked at the gate of the abyss, which was rippled in a large area, and clenched her fists: "I delay its time... as much as I can."
"Can you do it?" I asked uncomfortably. Now what we have to face is not as simple as an army, but an abyss door that is about to explode. This thing... can it really be delayed by the stillness of time
Qianqian looked at her hand and showed a satisfied smile: "I am becoming stronger every day, and it is no longer what it used to be. It is a pity that I have no chance to try its power. Now this is a good opportunity to test it. I'd like to see what kind of power I've got. Besides—" She gave me a look, "it's not a good habit to question your partner."
I have long been accustomed to Qianqian's sudden transformation into the blackened second girl, so I just sent a more careful look, and after she stepped onto the transmitter, I turned my gaze to Tavel: "Now we may have some more time—but not It's too long. Now you take people out of this world, take away all the things that can be taken away, and then let the garden of death focus all the energy in this universe. I want them to banish this world into the void in the shortest time Go. Sandora, please help me pay attention to the subsequent spread of the abyss. Now this world is still mounted on the macro world network, and it must not be polluted to other universes. Sis, Qianqian will be sure to use the big move later She needs someone to take care of her, take care of her, and hold down that impulsive girl by the way. Lin Xue, tell me a fortune now... "
"This is a terrible trip, if you dare to go and I will beat you!" Lin Xue stared at me unceremoniously, rubbed her eyes after staring for half a minute, "I can't figure out what happened after passing through the gate of the abyss, at least on the other side of the gate. I can't figure it out on the side, unless you're going to let me follow."
"That's impossible." I flatly refused.
Lin Xue had already seen my plan, and Bingtis just looked at this side bluffing at this time: "Wait... You don't plan to jump in, do you? Damn, are you crazy? This is not your swimming pool! "
"I didn't even intend to go in for a swim," I slowly released my power, feeling the void filling my body—everything around me became ethereal, as if I had moved away from the way of perception of the material world, and turned to a higher perspective Come to analyze all the feelings that the material world gives me, the form of the void, and now I seem to be getting used to this wonderful sensory journey, "Look, the form of the void, the abyss cannot pollute the void, it can only dissipate in front of the void. It is the iron law, I am the natural enemy of that thing."
"But do you know how many times that thing is bigger than you?" Bingtis looked a little angry, "You are not yet fully mature, you are in the void, and you can't hold on to this form for too long in your own territory..."
"Tavier, how long will it take to evacuate all the people?" I gestured to Bingtis to be calm, and then looked at Tavel, who replied after a little thought: "Five minutes, everything They have all entered the transmission sequence. Your Majesty, this subordinate has no right to interfere with any of your decisions, but from the perspective of a scientific researcher, this subordinate thinks your decision is very risky."
"It's just the shallow area of the abyss, and it's very close to the gate," I knew there were still five minutes left, so I hurriedly moved my body. It doesn't make much sense, but it seems to give yourself a little psychological effect: Tell yourself that you are ready, "Um. Actually, I'm hiding something from you - when I was training how to purify the pollution of the abyss, I secretly got in touch with the abyssal primarch. It’s the kind of two-dimensional pattern that is fixed in the psionic field, there’s nothing wrong with it, really, otherwise you think I’m having a fever today?”
As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop five degrees directly, and Sandora's gnashing voice came over: "We have to have a good talk when we come back..."
When I turned my head, I found that Sandora was sharpening her claws: one side of her body had been shrouded in black mist, and one arm had turned into a huge black claw, which was in the form of an abyss. "What are you doing? You don't intend to use this to scratch people, do you?!" I asked in a cold sweat.
"I'll go with you." Sandora said as a matter of course, and then glanced at the time, "Okay, there is no time to waste, ready to go."
Before I had time to say anything, Sandora had already made her decision, and then she grinned at me: "You forgot one thing: you are not afraid to jump into the gate of the abyss, and I am even less afraid: I have already jumped once. I have 100% I'm sure you're safe there."
"Okay, okay, it seems that one more must be added," Bingtis stretched, the black wings on his back spread out in an instant, and a pale golden mist of holy light filled his surroundings. "I also have the experience of fighting against the gate of the abyss, and the one present seems to be relatively strong, right?"
Sandora glanced at Bingtis, as if she wanted to stop her, but found that she couldn't refute Bingtis's reasons from her own point of view, so she could only nod in acquiescence.
It seems that no one can change the minds of these two. A queen and a female hooligan are both hardliners in character. I smiled and nodded to my sister who was still worried, and then looked at Lin Xue: "Don't bother, just see how my luck is today."
"It's not bad, except for the possibility of being beaten by my wife." Lin Xuebai glanced at me and said angrily, I don't know if she counted herself in the ranks of beating people.
Except for a few commanders who need to stay at the end and Lin Xue and others who want to stay alive (oh, and also counting Qianqian who is maintaining the time freeze near the gate of the abyss), the staff in the test site quickly After being evacuated, only some unattended workstations remained in this universe, and three guys who planned to jump the gate. We teleported directly to the gate of the abyss and stood on a psionic obelisk closest to the gate. The gate had begun to expand before it collapsed, and the obelisk under the feet of the three of them, which hadn't touched the gate, was now located in an area shrouded in black mist. A hundred meters away from the feet is the gate of the abyss surging like a river. The obelisk that originally suppressed the gate now seemed to be an isolated island on the black ocean. The blue barrier released was barely connected to other nearby obelisks, trying to prevent the gate from collapsing. I knew the strange spatial phenomenon of the Abyss Gate before: no matter from which angle you look at the gate, what you see is always a black round face facing you, which is obviously a virtual space in the three-dimensional world. Dimensional Phenomena: Transcending dimensions and forming a system of its own. The function of the psionic obelisk is to use the psionic energy that can also take effect in all dimensions at the same time to bind the gate of the abyss, so that it can be solidified in the material world, thus forming a fixed plane. Now the gate in front of us seems to be about to break free from this dimensional lock, because when we turn our gaze to other angles, the gate of the abyss we see is already a black disc that is gradually standing up.
"Well, it's a familiar feeling." Bingtis covered her nose, as if she could really smell it in this environment, "I just remembered that the bearded man reported that his work boat was polluted , and then he suddenly hung up the communication, right? Maybe he realized that the situation was not good at that time, and he was ready not to return to the voyage—by the way, he also specifically reminded you not to send a second engineering team down, it was definitely discovered Something terrible is coming, but he doesn't have time to report it."
"I thought about it too," Sandora sighed, "There are many such guys among the emperor's mistresses. Their loyalty is commendable, but there are some guys who will cause headaches because of it."
Bingtis glanced at me and Sandora, and suddenly laughed: "For a working ship and a group of engineers. The head of the empire jumped into the gate of the abyss himself. Chen would make such a move because of his character. So, what about you? Sandora, I remember that you are a calmer queen. Infected with blood factor by your partner?"
"It's just his blood," Sandora said bluntly and scratched me by the way: using the one-meter-long claws, "I'm really sure that I will be fine: I have the breath of the abyss on me. The fog in the gate will not take the initiative Attack a signal source that is similar in nature to itself. This is the characteristic of the abyss, and it does not destroy things that have already been destroyed."
"Oh. I found a vortex, which may be the breakthrough point mentioned by Tavel—" Bingtis suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, we stopped here for a few minutes, just to find a more suitable time to jump in, Bingtis Tees's eyes seemed to be more pretentious, "The Goddess of Darkness gave me red eyes, so that I can find darker things in the dark abyss door... oh, it doesn't rhyme..."
Sandora and I: "... stop talking nonsense! Jump now!"
It only takes a few seconds to fall into the gate of the abyss under the gravity of the red giant star. When I walked through the so-called gate, I didn't seem to have any special feeling. I felt that I was just passing through a layer of undulating water. Maybe there was some "soft" touch? It may also be just our own psychological effects. After all, when we jumped down, the shape of the gate of the abyss was already like a spring.
"This is it?" I murmured to myself, opened my eyes, and the red sea of flames surging in the storm of the red giant star had disappeared. Just like the shattered illusion before, there is only endless darkness in front of you.
The surroundings are full of indescribable sense of disobedience. As a void creature, I don't feel any harm to my body from the abyss. But the ubiquitous rejection and some kind of feeling of "imminent crisis" still makes me quite uncomfortable. This kind of feeling is like covering your eyes and ears, and then setting up wild beasts around you. You can't see them or hear them, but some kind of vague breath makes your hair stand on end. The beasts in the cage can't hurt people, but your keen spirit will tell you: danger is imminent.
It's such an uncomfortable atmosphere, but fortunately, I don't seem to feel that the abyss can erode my body. It seems that even a high-intensity polluted environment like the gate of the abyss can't face the gap in the level of "void". It is impossible to overcome qualitative changes with quantitative changes.
First of all, find a way to restore "sight". No matter what method you use, you must be able to perceive the surrounding environment. I recalled the method Sandora told me to release the spiritual power to look for "tracks where the order was destroyed" and at the same time look for physical targets: that was the thing sent in from the opposite side of the gate, including the work ship, and Shan Dora and Bingtis. This novel way of "seeing" things is much more troublesome to use than eyes, but years of tempering my own spirit have given me some skills. Soon, a cloudy fog appeared in my "vision", spinning rapidly, The indescribable storm, the turbulence that does not conform to any common sense of physics, and the turbulence that changes the trajectory wantonly, and Sandora and Bingtis who followed me down, they were by my side, and it was really scary when they suddenly emerged from the darkness I jumped up by myself.
Sandora noticed the change in my expression, wrinkled her nose, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you have adapted, how do you feel?"
"Not good, quite bad, I feel like the whole environment is trying to kill me," I curled my lips, "but it's better than expected, I don't feel that anything is destroying my body, or simply put, nothing at all The feeling of touching the abyss."
"Because they took the initiative to retreat," Bingtis stretched out her wings, and a golden holy light full of disobedience floated on the huge black wings, which looked like black cotton... Keke, she breathed a sigh of relief Looking at me with great interest, "I and Sandora are ready to fight, but after you opened the void domain, the abyss began to recede, and now they are all hovering around the periphery of your 'halo', Didn't you notice? Those fogs detour around a spherical area. Well, you'd better keep this state, Qie Shen and Sandora are now protected in your halo."
Bingtis said, laughing and laughing: "Mother, my mother is sometimes protected by men!"
Sandora immediately added seriously: "It's my man, I will collect the rent after more than an hour."
"Ahem," I coughed dryly, and at the same time secretly thanked myself that I didn't blush now, and then looked around, "I can't see where the workboat is. How far can we see in this environment?"
"It's not much farther than the sight of ordinary people," Bingtis took out his holy book, tore off a page, and the page turned into spots of light and diffused out, "They can expand your perception range in the abyss environment, we Protoss will occasionally enter the gate of the abyss to perform tasks, you have your own probe technology, and we have similar things—although the lifespan is relatively short, just one minute."
"Is that the gate of the abyss? Where we came in?" I looked around, and found that obliquely above me (maybe it was above? Now I can only judge up, down, left, and right from my own angle) there is a huge invisible edge. The vortex group, countless large and small vortex patterns floating in the dark background, exuding off-white luster, combined into a roughly circular array as a whole, the vortexes are constantly colliding, devouring each other, and then hitting the edge of the array, From these vortexes, I vaguely felt the familiar breath of the material world: this feeling is inexplicable, but it is like being locked in a completely sealed box, and suddenly there is an opening in a place, even with eyes closed , can also feel the fresh air is pouring in from there.
"It seems to be... Originally it should be a static gray-white mirror, but now it has become like this... It should be the reason why the gate collapsed. Something disturbed the calm, and it was on the side of the gate." Bing Di Si analyzed professionally. In this regard, it seems that she has more knowledge than Sandora: the exaggerated lifespan and experience of the Protoss are full of superiority at this time.
Sandora reminded: "Don't go too far, once we can't see these vortexes or feel them, we can never go back—unless we can find another abyss gate before our strength is exhausted. "
"It's such a big lump, it's a long way to go to the invisible distance," Bingtis laughed, and then suddenly froze, "Um, I found the work boat...but there are other things around it!"
