Chapter 581: Khorne Consciousness
A few days later, on the outskirts of the Lesteon galaxy, the Amethyst Fleet had blockaded the entire galaxy.
At the same time, jump interception devices and space blocking devices were deployed nearby to prevent sudden intruders and avoid any unexpected situations.
Among them, the core commercial planet has basically been covered by black fog, and the surging black fog has almost replaced the atmosphere.
A large number of scientific research exploration ships traveled over the planet, carefully observing environmental variables, extending their robotic arms from time to time, and quickly collecting samples from the atmosphere.
Outside the blockade, several fleets seemed to be confronting each other.
"Unknown Fleet, we will warn you again that this place has been designated as a military blockade zone and no one is allowed to approach."
"If you don't retreat after this warning, we will launch an attack!" Jonas shouted sternly on the radio channel.
"You..." But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted. A projection appeared with a solemn expression and said, "Commander Jonas, you can leave now. I have taken over this place."
"General Lanto!" Jonas's face changed, but without hesitation, he turned around and left with his men.
This kind of thing has happened many times during this period of time.
They were all sent by various forces to collect samples. The Amethyst Civilization could not afford to offend these people, so it could only turn a blind eye and allow them to enter.
The fleet was allowed to pass, and Anthony, among them, was at ease, walking on the metal corridor, surrounded by fully armed Transformers.
He walked to the bottom floor of the battleship, rotated the handle of the heavy prison hatch, and then slowly opened it. Suddenly, noisy curses came along with the dirty air.
"Damn bastard, let us go now!"
"Do you know who I am? I am a man of blood and bones!"
"Our boss will peel off your snake skin and use it as decoration!"
“…”
Behind the simple iron cages were ragged prisoners wearing prison chains. When they saw someone coming in, they started cursing.
The translator automatically filtered out most of the unbearable content, so the only ones he could hear were the lighter ones.
Anthony didn't care and said to himself:
"Everyone, we are almost at our destination. Now it's time to carry out your mission. Whether you live or die depends entirely on your luck."
"Please, let me go."
"I can give you star coins, lots of star coins."
“…”
These prisoners vaguely sensed that something was wrong and immediately began to cry and beg for mercy.
Of course, there were some people who were still cursing. Anthony's snake heart hesitated, and a strange light flashed in his snake pupils.
He likes this kind of environment filled with chaos and fear.
"We're here now. Stop enjoying yourself, boss..." the man at the door said unhappily.
The two of them were sworn enemies, but now they have to work under each other, so there is always some resentment.
"Let Lord Sisger send someone down to collect samples first..." Anthony ordered.
"Okay..." The man closed the door and left.
The fleet has already sailed to the upper layer of the planet, and exploration ships from other forces are also secretly observing this new fleet.
"Another force has arrived..."
"Yeah, there's no sign, I don't know which force it came from..."
"Whoever can open up the purple crystal channel now must be someone very powerful."
No one underestimated this fleet. Instead, they wanted to see what methods they could learn from the other side.
I saw the large transport ship in the center hovering above the atmosphere, and then the metal plates below unfolded layer by layer.
The launch bay opened, and several white aircraft landed, beginning to rapidly descend toward the planet below.
This is a routine procedure, with the aircraft finding the way and there should be various auxiliary equipment.
What surprised everyone was that after breaking through the atmosphere, these white aircraft quickly transformed into humanoid mechanical bodies.
"Is it the Transfiguration Corps? Li Yu's people?"
Someone on the nearby exploration ship exclaimed and couldn't help but change color.
After all, that person's ability to stir up trouble is still very terrifying.
"He wants to use a transformable mechanical body to explore? It's a good idea, but unfortunately this black fog can even corrode electronic machinery..." On a warship, the commander sneered, obviously coming from a force that was not on good terms with Li Yu.
Sure enough, before the Transformers landed on the ground, electric arcs burst out from their bodies and they began to twitch uncontrollably.
The bright blue electronic eye began to change colors, blue and black interweaving, as if something was fighting for control.
"These Transformers are just so-so. I thought they were special." He sneered and turned on the radio channel.
"It's too wishful to think that a few transforming machines want to explore this place. Let Li Yu send a few more people over."
Anthony has returned to the command room, standing here with a purple-black Transformer, staring at the situation below.
Such a sentence came silently from the radio channel, which made Anthony's snake pupils shrink suddenly, appearing extremely cold.
"What force does this person belong to? Why is he so arrogant?" Anthony asked.
"The expedition mercenary corps affiliated with the Fallen City..." Some subordinates have already quickly found their origins based on the logo on the opponent's fleet.
"They are five-star mercenaries, commanded by A-level life forms."
“Zhengtu? What a third-rate organization. I’ve never heard of it…” Anthony shook his head and looked at Sisger next to him.
"Sir, please take care of this."
"Understood..." Sisger's mechanical visor fell, the smooth metal shell reflected gorgeous colors, and he turned and walked out.
At the same time, the mechanical life form that was twitching below suddenly exploded, with fragments scattering and flames billowing.
"Huh?" The commander was confused and looked at the fire below. "Why did it suddenly explode?"
"Logically speaking, the machines have already been infected, so how could they suddenly explode..."
"Maybe there is a backup program that triggered the self-destruction. " One of the men whispered.
"No..." The commander shook his head: "Do you think the scouts sent by other forces don't have self-destruct programs?"
"But the control has been tampered with. Why can these deformed mechanical bodies successfully self-destruct?"
He was a little confused, but his confusion didn't last long as it was interrupted by a sudden alarm.
"Warning, the energy barrier has been breached, please be prepared for impact..."
"Warning, damage to the ship has been detected, please repair it in time..."
The commander's face changed drastically, and he saw a purple-black light flashing on the holographic screen. A man holding a purple mechanical knife easily tore through their defenses.
The holographic screen zoomed in, and I saw that the figure looked similar to an interstellar human, but was made of machinery, and every piece of metal armor was just right.
The energy cannon on the shoulder blasted through the metal hull at an extremely fast speed.
"This is... a transformable mechanical body, it belongs to Li Yu!"
He didn't expect the other party to react so violently. He just made a few sarcastic remarks, but the other party wanted to send someone to kill him.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer, and his eyes were filled with fear. They were only here to collect samples and were not equipped with strong force.
The opponent's attack was completely devastating, leaving them no room for resistance.
His eyes blurred and a purple-black figure appeared in front of him, its mechanical pupils spinning and locking onto the target.
Before he could even open his mouth to beg for mercy, he felt the world spinning around him and saw a headless body slowly falling down.
He opened his eyes wide, but it became increasingly darker in front of him.
boom!
The huge warship exploded in mid-air, and the surrounding exploration ships suddenly became silent and moved away from the area for fear of being affected.
Anthony looked away, not caring, and pressed a button under the screen.
Afterwards, the launch cabin opened again, and this time it revealed a group of various life forms tightly wrapped in mechanical devices.
They stared at the planet below and wailed continuously, but they could not change the inevitable outcome.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
They passed through the atmosphere under the protection of mechanical devices and fell at a very fast speed, creating sparks due to friction with the atmosphere.
After reaching a certain height, the mechanical devices on their bodies will automatically pop out and turn into parachutes, allowing them to land slowly and avoid death.
While in mid-air, their bodies began to twist and become hideous, with their limbs extended and bones protruding, like some alien life form, which was terrifying.
The machine that collected samples from the surface of the atmosphere also returned and was quickly sealed to prevent leakage.
"Okay, mission accomplished, we can leave." Anthony did not stay here. He only had these few tasks, and he could leave after completing them.
Now all we need to do is send the sample back to Yuxu Palace.
However, the space here has been blocked, and the dimensional rift is difficult to open, so we can only leave this blocked area.
The people from Zijing discovered the explosion and rushed over. After asking about the details, they left in a hurry as if nothing had happened.
Are you kidding? That guy beat Zijing so badly last time that he was almost killed. How could they dare to hold him accountable? Do you want to die?
…
"What is Number Two planning? Last time he captured Iron Man, there has been no movement..." Li Yu muttered as he flipped through the system page.
So many days have passed, and No. 2 has not started any action yet, so there has been no results so far.
"Master, the black fog sample has been delivered..." Little Noisy popped up and reminded.
"Oh..." Li Yu heard this, closed the system page, and saw Anthony carrying a metal box.
"Sir, those modified bodies have been released. Here are the samples." Anthony said respectfully.
"Well, well done..." Li Yu nodded, took the metal box and opened it. There was a glass jar inside with black mist floating in it, which was extremely calm.
"That's it..." Li Yu stared at the gray mist and said according to the information synchronized from Kansa.
Living organisms that are corroded by this gray fog will undergo some inexplicable mutations. The genes in their bodies will be distorted and twisted into the same sequence.
In other words, whether it is interstellar humans, fishmen or orcs, they will all be twisted into the same creature, but with different external manifestations.
Even mechanical bodies will be affected, and the affected creatures will continuously generate black fog.
The composition of this black fog is very common, and no signs of any virus were detected.
They still haven't discovered how the black fog did it.
At present, this special black fog cannot affect A-level life forms.
But according to the speculation of some research experts, it is not that the black fog cannot do it, but that the black fog has not reached a certain level yet.
As long as the black fog continues to expand, this can be achieved sooner or later.
"Oh, right..." Anthony thought for a moment and told the story of the explosion of the transforming mechanical body again.
"Oh?" Li Yu was a little surprised. The Transformers exploded?
why is that?
Is it to resist the influence of the black fog?
These Transformers are all activated using the Spark Rune, with faith as the energy source.
No matter which procedure it was, it left a mark in their bodies that was difficult to betray.
The Black Mist is fighting for control of the body, and the individual Transformers are unable to resist.
Never betray and resist external coercive influence. When the two conflict, explosion is the only result.
Li Yu nodded, and his curiosity about the black fog grew stronger.
He then came to the closed room of the research base and slowly opened the sealed tank.
These black mists currently have little impact on A-level life forms, let alone him.
The moment the black mist appeared, it attached itself to his skin and tried to penetrate into his body.
Li Yu suppressed his body's self-resistance mechanism and actively accepted the black fog.
Then he took out the [virtual glasses], digitized his body, and started to look at the status bar.
Sure enough, I found something wrong.
[Khorne Assault: A corrosive mist from Khorne's consciousness. It will assimilate all objects it touches, making them part of Khorne's consciousness and making them difficult to escape.
Currently under suppression - due to the huge gap between it and the host, the host can get rid of this influence at any time. 】
The Assault of Khorne? The Consciousness of Khorne?
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. This was a lot of information...
This means that the entire black fog is actually a whole and has its own thoughts.
wrong……
Li Yu frowned and shook his head. This thing was just an extension of Khorne's consciousness, not the real body.
Only things that are infected and mutated by it can become part of Khorne's consciousness.
With a slight movement of his mind, golden flames suddenly burned on his skin, burning away all the black mist.
Li Yu's expression flickered. He was afraid that no one knew the specific information of the black fog except himself.
Although the name and some information about the black fog were figured out, another problem emerged.
Where did this Khorne consciousness come from?
