Chapter 684
It's easy to guess that the prisoner in a special cell a thousand meters underground is the Devourer of Planets himself. With a bunch of Cosmic Elders personally guarding over them, and security measures so tight that they were almost unnecessary, Richard couldn't think of anyone else who deserved such special treatment.
The design of the underground prison is said to be a reference to the most famous prison in the universe, Fort Cairn, which is now guarded by the Nova Legion. Rumor has it that the prison is home to two felon-level cosmic gods, two of the first to be born at the dawn of the universe, who are also considered heretics among the gods.
Richard, the blueprint of Fort Cairn, had seen it from the Nova Legion, and he knew every secret door, every pipe, every trap level, and every safety facility in the prison. If the current prison was also designed with Fort Cairn in mind, it might have been convenient for him.
Teleportation is shielded, and quantized penetration also triggers sirens. And the entire prison is cut off from the outside world, with no ventilation pipes, no wiring, no passages, not even a single door between the metal and the soil at a depth of more than 1,000 meters. The only thing that can enter and exit the prison is the portal in Gao Tianzun's room.
And even if he managed to avoid all the alarms and sneak into his room while Gao Tianzun himself was away, no one but him would be able to activate the portal.
Fortunately, Richard has another trick, and there is another, and possibly the only way, for him.
That's the data channel.
Although the servers in the underground cells are separate from the outside, there are still three minutes a day when they are connected to the external network for security checks and data synchronization.
That's his chance.
At this point, Richard's doppelganger had quietly infiltrated the room where the server was placed. He clung his body to the wall in a void and transparent state, and used the tricks Ganata had taught him to suppress the energy fluctuations in his body and hide his aura.
The next thing to do is wait.
It wasn't until Richard himself lay on the soft bed and patiently watched two full episodes of the show, which was tantamount to rookies pecking at each other, that the doppelganger finally gave back the signal.
Today's server sync began.
Richard immediately confirmed the time. According to Saka star time, it is now half past nine in the evening.
In other words, is the server sync time at half past nine every night?
Richard started the timer, and at the same time controlled his doppelganger to quantize and transform into a data form, and drilled down the server.
The underground prison is a completely separate system, but it involves a lot of security facilities, a lot of routine checks on a daily basis, and a huge amount of data to synchronize.
The doppelganger of Richard's quantized state was mixed in with the massive amount of data, like a trickle mixed in the boiling water.
But he only borrowed this data transmission channel, and once he flooded the local server inside the prison with the data stream, the security system inside would quickly detect his "heretic" and trigger an alarm.
That's why he has to de-digitize between entering the server.
A beam of golden light particles detached from the trillions of data streams, returned to a life-sized silver Ultraman form, and landed on the pitch-black and cold ground half-crouching.
He came in.
Richard stood up and quickly looked left and right, taking in his surroundings.
He was in a cramped room, with dark walls, except for a dark door in front of him, and a complex electronic lock plate next to it.
Richard tried to use Super Vision, which as surprisingly didn't work. Everything and all the materials in this space are shielded from any rays, and no matter what frequency you switch to, you can't see through it.
Theoretically he only had three minutes, and he had to hold on.
What is needed to unlock this layer of lock is the cosmic energy of Gao Tianzun himself.
Richard does not have the cosmic energy of Gao Tianzun, but fortunately, his specialty is that he can imitate the energy of any frequency and any attribute. When he met Gao Tianzun before, he had already written down the energy frequency of the other party, and it should be able to simulate.
There were no surprises here. The doppelganger's Nexus injected a shot of cosmic energy into the lock disk, and after a few moments, the lock disk successfully recognized the energy signature, and made a friendly electronic sound of welcome.
But the next few levels are a little more troublesome.
Probably considering the possibility that someone might have simulated their own cosmic energy, the next few levels will not be automatically closed just because they recognize Gao Tianzun himself. The next series of traps must be turned off by someone on the main console outside with the prison and the external network interconnected.
Richard didn't have that kind of guilt, but that didn't matter. If the prison really mimicked the design of Fort Cairn, then he knew what to do.
The first level is the Energy Mist. Countless particles of energy permeate a single channel, and if anyone touches even a particle in space, an alarm will be triggered.
Richard's super brain was running at full speed, observing and recording the properties and composition of these energy particles in the shortest possible time, and successfully disintegrated and scattered his clones into photons within thirty seconds, and transformed each photon into the same form as those particles, blending into them and floating past without realizing it.
The second level is a super-dense energy barrier. This barrier resembles the shield of an interstellar battleship, and even the density transformation ability of a vision cannot penetrate it.
It's not impossible to break the barrier, but if you do, you'll inevitably trigger an alarm and stealthy infiltration will fail.
However, Richard has already studied this.
Thanks to Ant-Man and Wasp for inspiring him. The Nexus clone shrunk directly in place, down to the molecular level, to the atomic level, until it shrank to a size similar to the energy particles that make up this barrier.
He then unleashed the Crossstorm directly, forcibly blasting a gap in the barrier just enough for his body to pass through.
Because it was an atomic-sized explosion, no alarms were triggered. The Nexus clone managed to fly through the barrier through the small rift, and then became huge again.
There are several levels ahead, including kinetic capture, cosmic energy turrets, and drones, all of which are skillfully managed by Nexus clones with their diverse abilities.
At two minutes and thirty-nine seconds, he finally managed to reach the deepest part of the prison and saw the only large man imprisoned there.
Ganata's father, Galatus the Devourer of Planets.
