Chapter 647: The Temple Cage
Lehman nodded and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. These analyses did make sense.
There was a lot of information he didn't know, including Lloyd's actions and the news about the Thunder Armor.
However, Morgan told him everything.
"Lloyd is really amazing. The problem with the Thunder Armor's cloak is because the Empire's intelligence system doesn't know about it. The destruction of the Abyss Research Institute has nothing to do with him." Lehman thought carefully, and then was shocked:
"This decoy operation failed, but he, the supreme commander, did not take any responsibility. So..."
"What else do you think?" Morgan glanced at him. "If nothing unexpected happens, he is the one who sits on the throne of the Emperor. If he is defeated so easily, it would be too disappointing."
Lehman curled his lips slightly, obviously not convinced.
Of course he knew this truth, but he just felt unwilling to accept it.
"Shaen pursued another path, which naturally reduced an obstacle for you." Mogan said in a sad tone:
"Although you are nominally the third heir, in reality you are the second heir. This is luckier than most people in the history of the empire."
"You still have a long time to fight for it, don't be impatient."
Lehman nodded slowly, suppressing the emotions floating in his heart.
However, at this moment, Lehman's smart terminal suddenly sounded a prompt, and a holographic screen popped up. A man in a formal military uniform hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the manifestation of the temple... has a problem."
The two people who were originally calm changed their expressions when they heard this. Lehman couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?!"
Any attack on the alien camp is still uncertain and may not even occur.
But if something goes wrong with the manifestation of the Titan Temple, it will be troublesome.
"I...I can't explain it clearly. You can take a look for yourself." The general directly shared the detection signal.
The holographic screen enlarged, presenting a strange scene in front of the two people.
The original temple gate has completely disappeared, replaced by a huge structure.
The information fed back by the detector showed that it was a cube structure similar to a cage, and was visually translucent as a whole.
The reason why it is said in a visual sense is that it appears to be translucent, but in fact nothing useful can be detected. The diameter is over 100,000 kilometers.
According to the display, the information state was originally constructing the Titan Temple, but after the construction of the Titan Temple was completed, the materialization did not end.
Instead, a cage-like thing was built outside the Titan Temple.
"What is this?" Lehman asked.
"We don't know either. We can't detect anything from it." The general said with difficulty.
"Launch a tentative attack. Since the Titan Temple is inside, open it!" Lehman gave the order decisively without thinking too much.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the general understood what was going on and left immediately.
Lehman also said goodbye to Morgan, hurriedly left the room, and prepared to go and see for himself.
…
A dazzling beam of light rose from the distant horizon and pierced into the deep space.
A moment later, a ball of flame as bright as the sun appeared in the dark universe.
The main gun began to cool down and the intelligent system's prompt sounded.
"The attack is over, the weapon system is loaded normally, the extent of damage to the target is unknown, and no signs of counterattack have been found."
Lehman had a gloomy expression. More than ten hours had passed since this inexplicable cage was completely materialized.
However, they tried every possible means to open this strange cage.
He didn't expect things to stop at this point - he couldn't even see the door.
Internal analysts have been studying it for a long time, and the only conclusion they came to is that this thing is too hard.
We can't blame them, because their detection system can't obtain any useful parameters and is difficult to analyze.
The investigators they sent out landed on the cage without any effort.
However, the information sent back only gave people a superficial understanding of its structure, which was similar to a cage structure, with the gap in the middle blocked by an invisible force.
Apart from the prisms, the entire structure is very smooth, with no mechanical protrusions or functional structures found, no muzzles, no engines, no antennas, and not even any entrances and exits.
This huge cage is even larger than an interstellar fortress and brings an unparalleled sense of oppression.
Another attack order, tens of millions of energy torrents instantly illuminated the originally dark space as bright and dazzling as the surface of a star.
The cage, which was already shining with light, was now even more eye-catching as if it was illuminated by a spotlight.
The attack was so massive that even though no sound could be heard, the explosion instantly filled the sky with flames. Seeing all this, the soldiers could imagine the bustling scene of the target exploding.
But the attack was still ineffective, and the huge amount of energy disappeared without a trace before it could fully explode.
No one knows where this energy is released.
"Just in time..." In a corner of this star field, Li Yu had already disguised himself and sneaked into a fleet.
This is almost effortless for him now.
"Is this thing a defensive measure made by the Life Titan to prevent the tomb from being robbed?" Li Yu looked at the huge cage with a thoughtful look.
It seems to be quite hard. I'm afraid that after opening this cage, what will be waiting for the Star Empire will be those powerful life forms.
He had a general understanding of the specific forces dispatched by the Star Empire. The fleet here alone was no less than tens of millions.
Several surrounding galaxies have been completely blocked by them, making it difficult to open dimensional cracks or space channels.
As for the advanced life forms hiding in the dark, Li Yu has not discovered them yet.
Using the force from before to peek into the future wouldn't yield much useful information.
Without taking into account the influence of system items, he couldn't hold on for long and was killed by a guy who looked very young.
According to the information provided by Lloyd, the young-looking guy is the ruler of the Morgan family.
The opponent must be at least a powerful life form comparable to the third pioneer level, so he can crush him now.
"Morgan..." Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the young man next to Lehman from a long distance.
The force dispatched by the Star Empire this time is very powerful. Although it is impossible for them to come out in full force, after all, they can't abandon their homes for the Titan Temple.
But it has also reached a certain scale, and all those that appear here are elite fleets.
Under such circumstances, the situation was quite unfavorable for Li Yu.
However, the good thing is that a large number of "tomb keepers" are imprisoned in the Temple of Life Titan, and the Star Empire is unaware of this.
"Stop attacking. " Morgan came to Lehman's side, looked at his anxious expression, and said, "It should be the information state defense. It is difficult to break through with a simple energy attack."
"Notify Thorn Star and activate 'Dusk'. The best way to break the information state defense is to use an information state attack. However, in this situation, we can only try 'Dusk'."
Morgan stared at the cage and said in a deep voice.
The alloy crust on the surface of the interstellar fortress was shaking slightly, and a low humming sound echoed in the air.
A huge crack appeared on the metal shell of the interstellar fortress, and red light shone through the crack, casting a sunset-like glow on the translucent energy shield in the sky.
Rolling heat waves surged in from the direction of the crack, which was thermal radiation that could almost melt ordinary steel instantly.
As the metal shell vibrated, the red cracks slowly closed, and the heat waves and high-energy beams beyond the horizon disappeared from sight at the same time.
This is the fortress of the Thorn Legion belonging to the Morgan family. The big crack that suddenly appeared and then slowly closed was actually its weapon launch slot.
And that beam of light is the most powerful main gun on the "Star of Thorns" - Dusk!
Through energy superposition technology, it can stack the energy of hundreds of fortress main guns into a line.
Therefore, the penetrating power of this monster is so great that it can almost instantly break through any kind of defense, even a thousand-kilometer-thick battleship alloy.
However, it has a slow charging time and cannot hit higher-level life forms that can run, which is also its shortcoming.
However, the cage in front of him could obviously only passively withstand attacks.
The crimson light was as gorgeous as the sunset, like a blood-red flower exploding above the cage.
Under Lehman's expectant eyes, the energy was not swallowed after all. The huge cage began to tremble, and fine cracks appeared on the surface, as if it was about to split.
"Success!" Lehman said excitedly.
"Be careful, this Titan Temple is a little different. Previous Titan Temples did not have external defenses, but I don't know why this one does." Morgan warned.
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge cage completely collapsed, and the seemingly solid walls turned into flowing light and dissipated into the starry sky.
"Warning, the shield has been penetrated, the internal structure group is completely lost... the artificial gravity is chaotic, the material leakage index exceeds 20%, and the engine reactor output is insufficient..."
The afterglow of the explosion came from an area closer to the cage.
Without any signs, the huge warship was shaking violently at this moment, as if it was being grabbed by a pair of giant hands and shaken violently.
“Haha… I finally got out of this damn cage!”
"I'm going to destroy everything, stupid Titan!"
“…”
A series of violent and chaotic mental waves swept across, and the destructive parts of them were intercepted by the battleship's mental defense device.
Morgan's face changed drastically. He had keenly noticed that a large number of life forms emitting powerful energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in the cage.
"There are so many people here, are you welcoming me!?" A life form emitting red steam all over its body smashed through a large number of warships, laughing wildly amid a series of artillery fire.
"Four-armed Titan? No, it has six arms!" Lehman's pupils shrank as he stared at the brutal life form.
"I smell the scent of offspring. It's too impure. What did those Titans add?!"
The enormous energy was like an ocean sweeping across the universe, causing the imperial fleet present to sound a shrill alarm.
A gigantic life form was roaring in the starry sky. Its skin was dark blue and it had two heads, both of which were roaring angrily.
Morgan's face was tense, and he squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Two-headed troll!"
"Dragon-patterned mantis, ancient star spirit, siren sea monster!"
"They are all races that only exist in records!"
Morgan has already sensed that among this group of guys, there are no less than ten top-level life forms at the A5 level.
As for lower-level life forms, they are too numerous to count.
"This cage is not meant to protect the Titan Temple, but to imprison these guys!" Morgan came to this conclusion with an extremely ugly look on his face.
"Woohaha!" The black smoke surged, and wherever it passed, all the warships were corroded beyond recognition, and the soldiers inside disappeared completely!
These guys have been imprisoned for too long and are venting their brutality without restraint .
"Get out of the way, everyone!" The mantis arm of the dragon-patterned mantis was golden in color, with patterns on it that looked like a swimming dragon, like a gorgeous and precious noble sword.
The sword of energy that was tens of thousands of kilometers long had incredible destructive power.
The Siren looks like a merman, but its body is covered with blue scales that sparkle with a strange glow.
She didn't seem to have committed any large-scale killings, but wherever she passed, everything turned into a dark sea of death.
"No, they seem to be leaving here?" Lehman frowned, and then gave an urgent order: "All warships, make way, don't stop them from leaving!"
Morgan's eyes narrowed, his expression cold.
Just as Lehman expected, this large group of powerful life forms had no intention of staying to fight, but instead wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
After they cleared the road, casualties dropped significantly.
This made Lehman feel relieved. He said, "They don't seem to know that Titan has been destroyed. Are they afraid of being captured again?"
Morgan shook his head slowly, his pupils deep: "No... this behavior is more like..."
"...avoiding more powerful life forms..." Li Yu murmured in a low voice. Just now, an unfamiliar life form left the vicinity.
The life form was not strong, and Li Yu could clearly feel an emotion called panic from him.
That is by no means a panic towards the Star Empire.
