Chapter 10: Answering the Call
In the dark and silent universe, the silver-blue pillar of psionic light was like a sharp sword, tearing apart the galaxy and darkness, and the huge and vast flow of light ran through time and space, reaching behind the curtain of the void, leading to the arrival of the existence on the other side.
Now, most of the ritual has been completed, and the pillar of light that condenses all the intelligent life psionic energy on a planet has completely submerged into the void along the ritual platform of the holy mountain, which makes the space at the end of the pillar of light ripple, turning into a distorted eye like a vortex, and the space-time changes caused by the huge force can be clearly observed even in another galaxy. On the other hand, whether it is the defensive firepower on the Atrium Star or the group of warships in the universe, they all nervously turn their guns and lock on the Void Gate that is gradually taking shape - even if they exhaust all civilizations, they still can't guarantee that the summoned Void Existence is a monster or an intelligent life, and it will not be crazy to be uncontrollable.
And most of the civilians also held their breath and watched this scene nervously. The Atrium People are a race of sapients purified by psionic plants, and their life forms retain some of the characteristics of plants: extreme longevity. Although it is extremely difficult for the Atriumphants to reproduce, it takes about eighty years for an Atriumphant to obtain new offspring by exchanging genetic information with each other, but their lifespan can be called endless, and a considerable number of the Atriumphants who are now watching the psionic live broadcast have witnessed the crystal insects slaughtering the Leaf Garden, so they are all neutral about restarting the Void Gate Ritual, because fear still resides in their hearts.
The super lifeforms that hit from afar are of course imminent destruction and disaster, but who knows if the ones they summoned this time will be equally terrifying? Although they still firmly believe in the existence of the Void Sage—rather, it is precisely because of these terrifying and evil Void Chaos that their faith in the Sage is deeper—but who knows if the Sage still remembers that he once awakened a group of wisdom plants that were still in confusion on this obscure star more than a thousand years ago?
But no matter what, as time passed, the Eye of Distortion gradually stabilized, and a huge silver-blue crack began to grow gradually with the support of an almost materialized pillar of psionic light, tearing through the cosmic space, penetrating time and space, causing the world to be torn out of a crack, and the aura from the other side of the curtain began to overflow from it, relieving the hearts of all those in the Atrium who sensed it.
"The ceremony was a success."
"It doesn't seem like a big problem, as long as you maintain good psionic infusion and don't talk about control, at least there is no problem with summoning."
"Holy Soul, may your light shine on us day after day like a blazing sun......"
The first step that almost all the people in the Atrium, including the fleet commander and others, found the most difficult, the successful completion of the construction of the Void Gate, and the next step was to guide the other side of the existence to descend without any difficulty, and control the other party with the power of huge psionic energy.
But only Mill Habs knows that the problem is big!
Because of him, he has completely lost control of the ritual!
"There's a huge will beyond the Void that has taken over my control, and the ritual has gone berserk!"
Standing on the top of the mountain, in the center of the pillar of psionic light, the miserable Supreme Archon, who was washed by the endless flow of psionic energy on the entire planet, was stiff at this time, and he felt that his whole person had now become a marionette, manipulated at will by the powerful will of the distant side - it came from nowhere, there was no emotion, there was no wavering, only the mechanical cold will completely evaded his control in silence, and began to automatically run the subsequent opening of the Void Gate Ceremony, Mir Habs could only feel, Under the control of that great will, another massive being is rapidly approaching from the other side of time and space.
That being, as hot as a star, but not a gas like a star, strong enough to outperform all mortal steel, but also full of life vitality and power to destroy everything, he had come from the far reaches of the void, at the beckon, and was about to descend here.
The silver-blue crack flickered with a light and dark light, it shook for a moment, and then expanded again, this void door slowly unfolded, and now it has reached the point where it is thousands of meters long and hundreds of meters wide, even a space warship can easily enter and exit from it, many old atrium people who have seen the Void Gate ceremony back then were shocked to find that this time the Void Gate was bigger than when the crystal insect came, does this mean that the existence of this advent is bigger than the crystal insect?!
You must know that the command ship of the [Forerunner class] is only 2,400 meters long, and the crystal insect back then, the normal body alone was 300 meters long, although this comparison seems obvious, but the former is a fighting machine that requires thousands of people to control, and the latter is just a single super life form - the comparison of combat power between the two is completely impossible to calculate by conventional methods.
However, it is rumored that in the deepest part of the starry sky, there are ancient empires that have been dormant for a long time, and the warships they have forged with unimaginably advanced technology are ten kilometers long, so huge that they are unimaginable, and a ship is an ecosphere that can suppress a civilization, but that is just a rumor, and the people of the Atrium have only heard of it once or twice in a thousand years.
- Now, I can't even forcibly destroy the Void Gate...... It was the side of the Sage who could only pray for it, not those strange Void Behemoths.
Although his heart has been cold due to various accidents, Mir Habs, who has lost his self-control, has allowed the last glimmer of hope - although the huge will is cold and ruthless, it operates in an extremely orderly manner, as if it is some kind of mechanical will that has no emotions and only operates on its own because of certain conditions, there is a huge gap between it and the chaotic mind of the Void Beast that is almost completely incomprehensible, and most importantly, the psionic light pillar of the Void Gate has not gone wrong so far, and it is still proceeding in an orderly manner. Everything is still to be discussed.
"It's coming out."
In the bridge of the Forerunner, the flagship of the Central Fleet in the atrium, the tall but tangled fleet commander silently watched the silver-blue space-time gate slowly expand, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Tarquinn had fought in that battle thousands of years ago. At that time, it was just a small soldier in the Central Fleet, but it had directly engaged the rampaging crystal insects, as the only survivor of its detachment, Taquinn knew what the aura of chaos was, and this time, it was relieved to realize that there was no aura of chaos on the other side of the Void Gate, but instead there was a blazing heat wave that was obviously incomparable, burning like the sun, and it was a huge life fluctuation that suffocated ordinary life, which made him feel at ease at the same time, but also raised new worries:
- Who knows, that huge fluctuation, will be a new enemy?
But no matter what he thought, the fact was not transferred by the will of intelligent life, as the silver-blue space-time crack stopped expanding, frozen in place, the huge psionic light flow lost the base point of transmission, and the surging tide of psionic energy caused a huge energy tsunami in the dark cosmic space, spreading towards the surrounding stars, and just when the aftermath of the tsunami was still spreading, the door of the void was truly opened.
"The whole army is on alert!"
Suddenly, in the bridge of the Precursor, a roar sounded violently, Taquin's eyes widened, and he commanded the officers around him in his loudest voice, while the others were still a little unable to react, but then, a chill surged into their hearts, and at this moment, endless panic, cringe, and cowardice surged from the darkest corners of their hearts, and the trembling aura spread, making the courage dissipate, and the blood turned into nothing, except for a small number of people in the atrium who were more excited by this breath, Most of the fleet warships surrounding the Void Gate were in a brief panic.
It can be seen that around the space-time rift, the psionic tsunami that is surging towards the surrounding stars, most of the waves have been eroded by a wave of black-red strange power overflowing from the void door, and the incomparable coercion is accompanied by the power that shocks and fears all life, spreading towards the outside world.
Originally, his strength was not like this, especially since he himself was deliberately suppressed, but the power of the incomparably unowned psionic energy increased this power a thousand times, raising this threat to an infinite limit, and in the next moment, a huge giant hand that seemed to be made of molten iron poked out of the silver-blue void door and pressed into this world.
Compared with the huge planets and psionic light pillars, this hand is actually very small, and it can even be said to be a small point that has been ignored in the universe, but as soon as it appeared, it easily grabbed everyone's attention, Mill Habs, Taquin, all the Atrium government and priest high-level officials, and all the ordinary Atrium people who were watching the psionic broadcast The audience held their breath, watching this scene, their hearts were shocked, fearful, expectant, wary, doubtful and incredulous and other emotions flashed in turn, and down, It's the other, the third, the fourth—
"The Void Existence has descended! Naval guns are critically ready and ready to fire at any time! ”
With Taquin's extremely vigilant order, the door was completely opened, and with the huge power fluctuations that changed the color of thousands of miles of psionic light, the giant god who descended from the other side of the void appeared in front of the people of the atrium.
- Whew. In the vacuum, a strong wind of energy blows.
It was a four-armed steel giant wrapped in flames, more than four hundred meters high, behind him there was a light wheel that was slowly rotating, penetrated by a straight line, far beyond the energy fluctuations of the core of the battleship's engine running around his body, he came to this new world, opened his four arms, as if he was stretching his body, and the flashing silver-blue door also because of his arrival, and quickly closed and disappeared, and finally turned into an insignificant wave of spiritual energy.
"Energy fluctuations are 760 million! Three times the size of the Forerunner's main engine! This is just the energy fluctuations of the other party's normal state, and the peak of full strength cannot be estimated! ”
"In the midst of sharp fluctuations in quality...... Unpredictable! The mass of the other party fluctuates with the fluctuation of energy, and the current observed limit mass fluctuation is 9 million tons! ”
"The other party holds a huge energy fluctuation of similar psionic energy! Its quality and quantity are more than 100 times higher than that of Omega-level psionics! The other party is a Void Super Life, which cannot be calculated with the existing system! ”
"Oh my God! He has observation organs - he's watching us! ”
In the Atrium Star and the Space Station, countless scientific researchers who were observing in real time hurriedly reported their findings, and they were shocked to realize that the four-armed steel giant that descended this time was more powerful than the crystal insect that descended last time, and the magnitude of the power was not a little bit, but crushing in all aspects, this terrifying power was unimaginable to the people of the Atrium, because even the most powerful omega-level psionic in their civilization was only to the point of controlling the weather and rain in an area with all their might, If it weren't for the power of all the psionics on the entire planet, they wouldn't have been able to tear through time and space anyway.
And at the moment when they noticed that the iron giant was also observing them, many scientific researchers who looked at each other through various observation lenses instantly felt that the thinking core in their bodies was down, and the overly powerful emotional fluctuations overloaded the thinking center of these plant life, and they simply fell into a coma, as if they were aware of this, the huge giant opened his mouth to speak, but because the sound could not be transmitted in the vacuum, he could only see black and red energy fluctuations spreading from his mouth and turning into energy rings.
The giant noticed this, he didn't speak, but instead used a special silver light to communicate with the pillar of psionic light, wanting to communicate with the intelligent beings around him, seeing this scene, many captains of warships thought it was a precursor to the other party's attack, and were so frightened that they almost ordered to fight back, but in the end they were all stopped by the fleet commander who was frowning and paying attention, Taquinn keenly noticed that the chaos caused by the giant was not his deliberate, but just a natural phenomenon caused by his own existence and strength, and he vaguely felt in his heart, The other person is an intelligent being who can communicate.
But along with the dark starry sky, a silver star lit up, and a mighty stream of light surged towards the steel giant with unparalleled destructive power, and the particle light spear that was accelerated to the sub-light speed level carried the heat that was heated to a million degrees or more, and in an instant, it passed through the cosmic space and came to the giant's body.
There were still people who fired naval guns out of fear or for other reasons.
"Who is it?!" Taquinn immediately roared angrily, this is not only a violation of his order, but it is also very likely to anger this void existence that seems to be able to communicate, at the moment when the Atrium civilization is on the verge of destruction, this is equivalent to completely destroying all the hopes of the Atrium people in the future, not only him, but also the command center and the supreme government located on the Atrium Star are in anger and panic, they immediately ordered to authorize the search for who issued the order to fire, but everyone's spirit is still condensed on the other side of the starry sky.
In the face of the incoming particle light spear, the iron giant seemed to have expected it, for this is enough to penetrate the asteroid and completely evaporate a city The main gun of the battleship directly hits, he raised his right hand a second in advance - countless psionic particles gathered at the speed of light towards the opponent's palm, and then condensed into a huge silver light sword in an instant, and then the giant used this spare time to swing the giant sword, and the particle light spear easily slashed down.
"Chaos lurks among you."
The silver light was transmitted to the minds of all the atriums through the amplification of the psionic light pillar, and the giant was not annoyed by the attack on himself, but said in a calm tone, "I have helped you get rid of them. ”
And in the cluster of warships in the distance, inside several warships, dozens of battleship executives were burned to ashes by the flames that came from nowhere in the miserable howl, and their bodies were emitted with rancid and poisonous smoke, but in the end they were all burned out by the black and red flames, not only that, but each battleship also left a chaotic eroded atrium man unconscious in place, used to provide intelligence, instead of being burned to ashes.
And the next moment, the huge black giant - because the golden-red appearance has cooled - turned around, he followed the guidance of the silver-blue psionic light pillar, and slowly landed towards the Atrium Star, countless empty artillery and missile defense nets locked on this Void Super Life that still did not know whether it was good or evil, but without the instructions of the highest level, all the controls did not dare to move even if they were covered in cold sweat, they could only watch nervously as the terrifying existence slowly passed through the atmosphere, and then gradually compressed and became smaller in mid-air, In the end, he took on the form of a human.
"The other party has the ability to compress and change itself!"
"The energy fluctuation has shrunk rapidly, and the current amplitude is 230 million, which is equivalent to the core of the battleship engine!"
"There is a huge loss of quality! A subspace reaction has been detected! The other party has transferred most of its own body to subspace to achieve miniaturization and humanization! At present, the quality fluctuates between 150,000 tons and 200,000 tons! ”
"The existence of the codename Void Giant has obvious intelligence, activate plan C!"
In this series of information transmissions and tense analysis, the giant who had become the size of an ordinary human being, carrying a giant sword and a giant axe, was about to descend to the top of the holy mountain, he had black hair, and eyes like flames, in the eyes of the Supreme Archon, Mir Habs, who had just been freed from the pillar of psionic light, this Void Being, which was very similar to the appearance of the Void Sage left behind back then, landed on the solemn platform, he paused for a moment, and then turned to look at himself, to be precise, It was the water in the Amber Pillar in his hand.
"The breath of a sage."
Confirming this, the black-haired humanoid approached Milhabs, he reached out and pulled the Supreme Archon from the ground who was unable to stand up due to the overload, which detonated the researchers of the analysis center again in an instant, this is a clear and incomparable wisdom, a manifestation of communicative goodwill, and Milhabs could only stand up with the help of the other party in a daze, but then, it sensed a silver light poured into its thinking center, a seed-shaped 'brain' composed of countless ganglia in the atrium human body.
"Excuse me, did you activate the credentials left by the sages and summon me?" The black-haired figure said calmly, and Mill Habs was shocked to find that he could actually understand the other party's unknown language, for which he paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "...... Yes. ”
"What problems did you have with using this ritual?"
The black-haired humanoid was concise and to the point, and Mill Habs was the supreme leader of the planet after all, so it reacted quickly, and then immediately replied, "Void Behemoth! The Folby have fled, and we must face a direct attack from the Void Being! ”
"I see, Chaos Invasion, isn't it?"
Nodding, the black-haired humanoid laughed, his appearance was very different from the atrium, but it seemed that because he had the same cultural origin, Mill Habs instinctively knew that the other party was laughing, it originally wanted to reprimand the other party angrily, but the current situation was not the time to laugh, but at this moment, he vaguely saw a huge giant god half of the body flashing behind the other party, and the eyes that flashed with silver light contained the most fiery killing intent and battle intent.
"Then, sign a contract, and in the name of the sages, I will fight chaos with you."
The smile quickly faded, and the black figure stood on a solemn platform that felt familiar to him, and he reached out and pressed it against the pillar of amber that Mill Habs held in his hand, and he said calmly, "I am Joshua van Radcliffe, the Ones of Chaos, who have been summoned. ”
"This power can be used by you."
