Soul of Burning Steel

The other end of time and space.

The **** battle galaxy, the territory of the royal court of Amos.

Although it is said that there is no night and day in the void, according to the traditional customs of the Amos people in the major star regions, this time is now the time to rest.

After a long period of planning and preparation, Mycroft’s temporary lurking Kreler and Alien International’s friend Elma are now ready to start an exploration of the Royal Court of Amos—seriously, although this matter and the two Man’s original goal has nothing to do with it, but as long as an intelligent creature, there is always curiosity that can kill him. This is the case with Kreler and Elma today. They sincerely want to explore the abnormal situation of the royal court. The truth behind.

After all, behind them, there is a gracious steel **** watching them.

"Are you ready, Kreller."

Compared to the tentacles alien, she looks more like a tall human female Elma at this time. She is repairing at the front port of the void battleship. It can be seen that her body is filled with substantial life energy, and the battleship host The port was used for information exchange, and behind her, the black-haired human youth touched his clothes uncomfortably, and then reluctantly said: "Ready...Uh, so we just drove the warship directly. …To be precise, do you use your body to go out shopping?"

Kreler now also knows the specific life patterns of the Amos...In the Royal Amos court, most of the manual laborers are prepared'flesh machine servants', a peculiar semi-biological and semi-mechanical man-made Living bodies, and Amos who have gone through the'Trial of Divine Light' (irradiation of magical energy) are generally divided into three categories:'war, thinking' and'universal', dealing with combat, scientific research, each Class culture, production and finishing fields.

Amos in the thinking category are generally concentrated in several closely-protected artificial star fields, and the Amos the Great will personally drop the power to guard them. The Amos in the war category and the Amos in the universal category are both It has evolved to the point where it can go in and out of the void. Only when it reaches this point can it hold citizenship and be able to speak up on various topics. The three categories can be interchanged, and Elma is a typical example. She has experienced all three categories, and her body naturally possesses the ability to enter and exit the void.

In other words, it is a large biological battleship.

When he knew this, Kreler was still shocked and inexplicable. It was difficult for him to understand that the human figure in front of him was just an interactive terminal, and the battleship under his feet was the body of'Elma', but soon he accepted this. Setting-the mage tower also has a tower spirit, weapons and a weapon spirit, what's weird about having a ship spirit on a ship, understand.

What really makes Kreler feel uncomfortable is actually the clothes on his body: this clothes is actually a part of Elma's body, it is the active substance secreted by the other party in front of him... It is alive and used to communicate with him in real time. Tools for communication and detection of physical conditions. To be honest, as a young man in his early twenties, Kreler really felt embarrassed when he saw Elman's tall and beautiful human appearance while still wearing such a ‘clothes’.

But obviously, Elma, a friend of Alien International, did not have this self-consciousness. She replied naturally: "I am a high-level individual with the authority of a'commander'. I originally have the authority to enter and exit the major secret facilities. I am willing. Ninety-five percent of the secrets are not secrets to me."

"However, this time the King Court’s abnormality is exactly the five percent that I don’t know. It’s the last resort to go to the Star Territory uplink database and forcefully crack to obtain the information. Before that, I would like to observe the surrounding situation and see See if there are any gains."

There was a reasonable logic of action, and Kreler himself had no intention of opposing it. In this way, the two began to slowly set off from Elma's private void anchor point and began to sail in the star field.

The calm void is like a sea without an undercurrent, and the battleship is like a giant beast in the sea, swimming slowly.

The star field where Elma is now located is in a more biased frontier area of ​​the Bloody Battle Galaxy. The royal court does not have strict control over here, so Elma can secretly prepare for the plan to escape from the royal court's control, and hoard materials for this, of course, Even so, there is also a complete community in this star field, where a large number of Amos live and thrive.

At this moment, it is late at night for most of the civilians in this star field, but for combat individuals, they do not need to sleep to adjust and rest, so they can see many groups of void warships patrolling in the star field. Block the main road.

The body of Elma is an anti-detection warship that can fully sneak, and the specific style is a fusiform whole, and probe tentacles that can be derived from both sides. Although it was said that Elma could start the concealed posture action, this time she showed her full form in an unusually high-profile manner, cruising in the void in a translucent posture that flashes with fluorescent light.

Kreler is naturally a little nervous about this, but he knows why. As a member of the royal court, Elma naturally knows the various rules and unspoken rules within the royal court. As an individual with commander authority (the pinnacle of extreme intentions), her entry and exit will not be affected by most patrols. Attention, being asked only when entering or leaving important facilities, is a kind of privilege.

In fact, as expected, those patrol ships with black shells that looked like an inverted iron-fisted patrol spacecraft stopped when they noticed the body of Elma, respectfully sent out a good signal, and occasionally appeared. The captain of the patrol team (the larger one’s trapezoidal pyramid spacecraft) also just sent an inquiry signal, routinely, but Elma did not reply to the former’s signal, the latter also dealt with it casually, and then just like this, naturally continue in the void Wandering.

"The martial law in the star field is very serious. Even in the middle of the night, there will be some wandering individuals. But now, the entire star field and more than a dozen worlds can only see the patrol team and some military staff with authority. "

Inside the battleship, the humanoid avatar of Elma looked serious: "When confronted with the Annihilation Order on the front line, the border star field did not have such a level of martial law. I am afraid that only the control intensity during the total war can be compared with the present-Clay Le, as an individual of the Royal Court of Amos, I can only think of "The Royal Court is preparing for war" or "The Royal Court is defending against the World Swallowers". But things are probably not that simple. What do you have? view?"

Elma clearly knows that although her knowledge is broad, it is likely to be limited due to the social characteristics of the Amos. Although Creel is not a wise man, she has at least the perspective and light of another race. Point can learn from.

"My opinion." Hearing the question, he paused for a moment. After all, Kreler was also an elite Mycrof who had received captain education. He thought for a moment, and then replied: "This situation is a bit like back then.' During the ‘Crazy Dragon’s Disaster’, the cultists spread the plague, the empire is under martial law, and every household must be independent. Only knights and patrols can patrol to avoid the spread of the plague caused by population movements.

"Of course, it's also a bit like some extremely dynamic monsters or cultists appearing, they are lurking into the city, so they must be under martial law and find the trace of the other party."

When talking about this, Creel couldn't help feeling a little absurd in his heart-what plague can spread across the void? What monsters of monsters can make an entire galaxy empire be martial arts for this?

And it's not one, but two. Thakur Annihilation Order has also been the case recently. Two huge xenophobic void forces are waiting in such a tight array. How can the mere plague and monsters do this.

It's impossible.

The star field where Elma is located is not large, and the state of the void is not complicated. Very quickly, most of the area is detected, except for the martial law, there is nothing unusual. Wang Ting’s internal news and various notifications can also be counted. Is normal.

At this point, Creel did feel the speciality of Elma. This Amos has a skepticism and action ability that far exceeds that of ordinary Amos. She just relies on a little metaphysical'feeling' and 'Guess', just a few things were found in the seemingly normal star field.

"The NWFB family lives in this void settlement, but time and space fluctuations show that there have been no individuals in this settlement for more than ten days and nights."

Inside the spacecraft, Elma thoughtfully restored the afterimage of the space-time trajectory on the light curtain. She imitated the serious Kreller on the side, bit her lip, and whispered: "I suspect that the NWFB family may have had an accident. ...We must find an opportunity to see what is happening inside this settlement."

"Dive into the exploration, leave it to me, your goal is too big to stay around here for a long time."

At this moment, Kreler also knew that it was time to play by himself-the black-haired young man stood up, put his hand on the black and gold belt on his waist straightforwardly, and whispered: "The crisis management system, activate! "

"Loading Extraordinary Plug-ins-Shadows of Gold!"

[Loading finished——Are·you·ready? 】

"Again!"

A quick and short communication passed by, accompanied by subtle mechanical vibrations. Taking the belt of Kreler's waist as the source, a large cloud of black dust sprayed out, surrounded by golden lines, like lightning. Completely envelop Kreller-and the next moment, all the dust and golden lightning shrank suddenly, and then turned into a peculiar black and gold full-covered armor, completely wrapped Kreller, you can see the top of his head and shoulders There was an inextinguishable dim flame burning, and in its core, there was a golden spark flickering.

It's pretty handsome, even with the Amos aesthetic. Aside, Elma couldn't help flashing such a thought in her mind watching this scene.

[The special installation version of Joe’s system is launched...link to the crisis management system and start modular processing...the extraordinary armor and the flames of the golden flames are all open]

[Hidden, raid, cut the weeds and roots, we are all the inflammation in the shadows! 】

"Activate,'Shadow Path'!"

Without any hesitation, Kreller, who activated the extraordinary armor, immediately used the core of the extraordinary abilities of the armor, the ‘Shadow Path’! I could see that a knife appeared in his hand that seemed to appear completely from the shadows. Creel didn't hesitate to throw the knife in the right direction with the assistance of Elma.

Then you could see that a black stream of light flashed away and went straight into the void settlement not far away.

Shadow Path!

Obtained from the shadow power of the sixth abyss demon king Goliath, combined with the material control ability of the legendary warrior Radcliffe, the generated power meets the extraordinary ability!

[Create a shadow knife and throw it in any direction to form a shadow path. As long as the user is within the range of the shadow path, it can penetrate almost all time and space barriers, energy defenses, material walls, and positions Shield. 】

[The results of the thirty-seventh experiment on the power of shadows were quite effective, but Goliath looked very unhappy... ‘I’m not here to be an experimental animal! ',What does it mean? 】

[——Mr. Radcliffe, a researcher who did not want to be named]

Slightly nodded to Elma who was on the side, Kreler galloped directly along the path of shadows. The seemingly long distance is only something that can be crossed in an instant. Even the detection organs that Elma deliberately prepared I didn't see how Creel crossed this shadow path.

"It's like a leap!"

At this moment, Creel has entered the void settlement, but Elma’s voice can still be heard, because the clothes on his body are part of the opponent’s body... But Creel has no time to care about Elma at this moment. What was said, because in the spirit, the warning from the crisis management system pierced the eardrums.

【caveat! Abnormal biomass detected! 】

【caveat! Perceive the erosion of alien substances! 】

【caveat! Large-scale extremely micro life forms are approaching! 】

What the hell? !

Even if he was mentally prepared for the dangers inside the void settlements, Kreler never expected that the danger would come so quickly and so unusual-he just raised his head and glanced at nothing that seemed unusual. The walls and hall were attacked by strange things that were invisible at all!

"Damn, can I only use this?!"

As a last resort, Kreyl could only use the second extraordinary ability of the extraordinary armor·Nether-Gold Flame [Ghost Desolation].

According to the previous activations of the extraordinary armor, Elma and Kreller knew that the Golden Flame has four powerful extraordinary abilities, [Shadow Path] [Ghost Desolation] [Sun Flame Refraction] and [Ember Fall]

Among them, the [Shadow Path] is to move and hide. It can be thrown out for long-distance displacement, or it can be thrown under the feet to hide itself in the shadows. [Yangyan Refraction] It can create a small cloud of steel mist around the body. It is a completely sneaky method that can completely remove all traces of Kreler's breath, energy fluctuations, etc., and can also be turned into a shield in times of crisis , Offset and rebound part of the non-physical energy damage.

As for [Embers Coming], it is a complete life-saving skill. The cooling time is extremely long, but the effect is great-when the wearer encounters a fatal danger, the crisis management system will force the full power of the shadow gold to erupt. A legendary blow is issued, and at the same time, no matter whether the wearer is dead or not (most likely to die on the spot), the body will be burnt to ashes, and the soul and the core of the ghost gold will be transmitted to the previously cut part of the ghost. Next to the shadow of gold fragments, and then regenerate and restore.

In addition to special skills, armor can also greatly improve the physical fitness and reaction speed of the wearer, as well as various auxiliary combat systems, which can be described as an all-around booster, even if a grandmother in her seventies is equipped with it. I'm afraid they can defeat ordinary and extraordinary professions that are not proficient in combat.

And [Ghost Desolation] is the only attack method of the entire Youjin Flame Armor-using the surface of the armor as the origin to create a layer of black body space, all the material energy that hits the space will be destroyed by the steel in the space. Force decomposition and crushing are the most perfect combat method for offense and defense, except that it cannot be long-range. But in addition, there is another shortcoming that is not considered a shortcoming. Because the power of Shadow Desolation is too great, it is likely to accidentally injure teammates or absorb attacks from teammates, so it cannot be deployed when there are more friends, only When infiltrating and surrounded by many enemies, when the user is ready to break through or wipe out witnesses, it can exert its power to the greatest extent.

With the start of the desolation of the shadow, a bleak shadow appeared on the surface of Kreller's body. As soon as it appeared, it immediately caused a group of dark golden flames to ignite in the seemingly empty space around, and continue to move towards As it spread in all directions, Kreler looked around in shock. Of course he knew that this was a vision of an invisible existence in the air being corroded by the power of steel, but he still didn't understand what it was that was attacking him.

"...Kreller, look for the... corpses from the NWFB family."

Elma, who witnessed all this in real time with the black-haired youth, was the first to react. She soon knew that the "universal logistics staff" living here, the family of New Bus, which she is quite familiar with, may have encountered an accident, but sad and sad. The anger did not make her hesitate for a moment. Elma instructed: "The NWFB family is not big. They are a professional logistics family. While living in this void settlement, they are also responsible for maintaining the security of the passing patrols and combatants. Body and machinery. Most of the time, they should be around the maintenance room on the lower side of the settlement."

"Ok."

Kreler naturally had no objection. He raised his head and looked around the hall... I have to say that the size of the Amos is not comparable to that of humans. The ordinary door of the other party looks like a triumphal arch in the capital of the Far South Kingdom. It was as huge, and he was like a villain who had entered the kingdom of giants. However, with the support of the extraordinary armor and the guidance of Elma, he quickly passed through the corridors and came to the periphery of the maintenance room in the middle and lower levels of the void base.

Along the way, Creel encountered several invisible and intangible existential attacks, but they were all resolved by Creel using Shadow Desolation. Soon, Creel encountered his first target.

A huge, snail-like corpse.

This corpse is 40 meters long, 25 meters high, and 20 meters wide. Its main body is a huge alloy metal volute, and the metal shell is supported. A soft column of carbon fiber like a network-that seems to be the bone in front of this creature.

There is no flesh and blood on the corpse, no pus or carrion on the ground, and the entire corpse is clean. Even if Kreler uses the shadow and desolation to approach, he did not perceive the existence of invisible danger-the corpse is empty. , Nothing, nothing left.

"What kind of creature is this..."

Kreler was naturally surprised. He stared at the huge corpse lying on a building, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the Amos? Your body is really huge, even the logistics staff. Such an amazing body!"

"wrong!"

But Kreler heard Elma's solemn voice: "No! The Simba's corpse is not like this... They chose to evolve, it is the evolution of the information processing system specialized in the'brain'! They are not as burdensome as a shell at all. Things are usually soaked in the nutrient solution in the maintenance room to deal with the problem of material transfer and maintenance logistics!"

"Go and look elsewhere, this may be the corpse of another Amos."

Creel naturally didn’t care. With the help of Shadow Path, the various walls and blocked gates of the Void Settlement were of no effect to him. In less than ten minutes, he walked the entire Void Settlement. Every corner.

In the process, including the first one, he found a total of five corpses-one with a huge snail shell, one with strong bone wings, one without a specific image, only a mass of fragments remained. The scattered skeleton, a crystal that should only be the crystal of the eye is left.

And the strangest thing is the last corpse-he also grew a huge metal shell, but two huge jets appeared behind this shell. If there is no mistake, the inside of this jet should have been connected to the two. A flesh-and-blood engine, so that it can accelerate.

"...The five bones are the population of the NWFB family... the eldest son who carried out engineering manufacturing, the mother who moved materials, the second daughter who controlled machinery, the second boy who was in charge of observation, and the father who was in charge of the maintenance of the Void Warship."

Elma murmured: "Although this corpse is completely different, it leaves obvious features... and these shapes feel very familiar..."

Soon, she suddenly remembered her familiar feelings: "Wait, aren't these shapes the special abilities and special individual prototypes that we Amos have evolved through the ages?!"

"This is a reversion mutation!"

And when Elma, who was walking back and forth in the surrounding starfields, recalled where the familiar feeling came from, Kreller suddenly received a reminder that the'crisis management system' sent back an important message.
