The other side of time and space.

The Bloody Galaxy, the realm of the Amos Court.

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

After a long period of planning and preparation, McCrove temporarily infiltrated Creeler and his alien international friend Elma are now ready to start an exploration of the Amos court - seriously, although this matter has nothing to do with the original goal of the two, but any intelligent creature always has a curiosity that can kill him, and this is the case with Kreller and Elma now, they really want to explore the truth behind the strange situation in the royal court.

After all, behind them, there is a kind and kind god of steel watching over them.

"Are you ready, Kreller?"

Elma, who looked more like a tall human woman than the tentacle alien, was repairing at the front port of the Void Battleship at this time, and could see that her body was full of materialized life energy, interacting with the main port of the battleship, and behind her, the black-haired human youth touched the clothes on her body with an uncomfortable face, and then reluctantly said: "Ready...... Uh, so let's just drive the battleship like that...... To be precise, to go out for a walk with your body? ”

Krellor now knows the exact pattern of life of the Amos...... In the court of Amos, most of the people in charge of manual labor were the concocted 'flesh and blood servants', a strange half-biological and semi-mechanical artificial lifeform, while the Amos who had experienced the 'Divine Light Trial' (magical energy radiation exposure) were generally divided into three categories: 'war', 'thinking' and 'universal', dealing with combat, scientific research, various cultures, production and refinement.

Amos in the thinking category are generally concentrated in a few closely guarded artificial star fields, guarded by the power of Amos the Great himself, and the Amos of the war category and the Amos of the universal category have evolved to the point where they can enter and exit the Void, and only by reaching this point can they hold citizenship rights and speak out on all kinds of topics. Three of these categories can be converted into each other, and Elma is a typical example, she has experienced all three categories, and her ontology naturally holds the ability to enter and exit the void.

That is, a large biological warship.

When he knew this, Klerler was still shocked, it was difficult for him to understand that the human form in front of him was just an interactive terminal, and the battleship under his feet was the body of 'Elma', but soon, he also accepted this setting - the mage tower and the tower spirit, the weapon and the machine spirit, what is strange about the ship having a ship spirit, understand and understand.

What really made Klerer uncomfortable was actually the clothes on his body: they were actually part of Elma's body, the active substances secreted by the other party in front of him...... It is a living tool used to communicate with him in real time and detect his physical condition. Seriously, as a young man in his early twenties, it was embarrassing to see Elma's tall and dignified human appearance while still wearing such a 'dress'.

But obviously, Elma, a friend of Alien International, did not have this self-awareness, and she replied as a matter of course: "I am a high-level individual with the authority of 'Commander', and I already have access to major secret facilities, as long as I want, 95% of the secrets are not secrets to me." ”

"However, this time the abnormality of the royal court is exactly the five percent that I don't know, going to the star field upstream database and forcibly cracking it to obtain information is the last resort, before that, I want to observe the surrounding situation and see if there is any gain."

It was a very reasonable logic of action, and Klerler himself had no intention of objecting, and in this way, the two of them, in a tremor, began to slowly set off from Elma's private void anchor and began to sail in the star field.

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

The star field where Elma is now located is located in a relatively biased frontier area of the Blood War Galaxy, and the royal court does not have strict control over here, so Elma can secretly prepare a plan to break away from the control of the royal court, and hoard materials for this, of course, even so, there is also a complete community in this star field, and there are a large number of Amos people who live here.

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

Elma's body is a fully stealthy anti-detection warship, with a fusiform monolithic shape and detection tentacles that can be derived from both sides. Although Elma was able to initiate Operation Stealth Posture, this time she showed her full form in an unusually high-profile manner, cruising in the void in a translucent posture that shimmered with fluorescens.

Naturally, Kreller was a little nervous about this, but he knew why. As a member of the royal court, Elma naturally knows the various rules and unspoken rules within the royal court, and as an individual with the authority of the commander (the pinnacle of extreme will), her entry and exit will not be noticed by most of the patrols, and she will only be questioned when entering and exiting important facilities, which is a kind of privilege.

In fact, as expected, the patrol ship with a black shell that looked like an inverted iron fist stopped and respectfully signaled when they noticed Elma's body, and the occasional patrol captain (the larger trapezoidal pyramid ship) only sent an interrogation signal, routinely, and Elma did not reply to the former's signal, and the latter also dealt with it casually, and then just like that, naturally continued to wander in the void.

"The martial law inside the star field is very serious, and even if it is late at night, there will be some wandering individuals, but now, the entire star field, more than a dozen worlds, can only see patrols and some military staff with permission."

Inside the battleship, Elma's humanoid avatar had a serious expression: "When I confronted the Annihilation Order on the front line, the Frontier Star Domain was not under martial law to such a point, I'm afraid that only the control level during the all-out war can be compared to the current one-Kreel, as an individual of the Amos Royal Court, I can only think of the two possibilities of 'the Royal Court is preparing for war' or 'The Royal Court is defending against the World Eaters', but I'm afraid things are not so simple, what do you think?" ”

Elma is well aware that although her knowledge is extensive, it is likely to be limited by the characteristics of the social formation of the Amos, and although Clarer is not a wise man, he has at least another race's perspective and light point to draw on.

"My opinion." Hearing the inquiry, he paused for a moment, after all, Klerler was also a Microf elite who had received the captain's education, he thought for a moment, and then replied: "This situation is a bit like the 'Dragon Plague' back then, when the cultists spread the plague, martial law within the empire, every household had to be independent, and only knights and patrols patrolled to avoid the spread of the plague caused by the flow of people." ”

"Of course, it's also a bit like some extremely powerful monster or cultist, they are lurking in the city, so martial law must be imposed to find each other's traces."

When he said this, Kreller couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in his heart - what plague can spread across the void? And what Warcraft monster can put an entire vast galaxy empire under martial law?

And it's not one, it's two, the Takur Annihilation Order has been the same recently, two huge xenophobic void forces are so prepared, how can just plagues and monsters do this.

Impossible.

The star field where Elma is located is not large, and the situation in the void is not complicated, and soon, most of the areas have been detected, except for martial law, there is nothing unusual to see, and the internal news and various notices of the royal court are also normal.

In this regard, Kreller did feel the specialness of Elma, this Amos has a skepticism and ability to act far beyond the average Amos, and she just relied on a little metaphysical 'feeling' and 'guess' to find a few things wrong in the seemingly normal star field.

"The NWFB family lives in this Void Settlement, but the fluctuations in time and space show that no individuals have entered or exited this settlement for more than ten days and nights."

Inside the spaceship, Elma thoughtfully recreated the afterimage of the space-time trajectory on the light curtain, she imitated the serious-looking Creeller on the side, bit her lip, and said softly: "I suspect that something may have happened to the NWFB family...... There had to be a chance to see what was going on inside the settlement. ”

"Dive in and explore, leave it to me, your goal is too big to stay around here for long."

At this moment, Klerler also knew that it was time for him to play - the black-haired young man stood up, he straightly pressed one hand on the black and gold belt around his waist, and whispered: "Crisis management system, activate!" ”

"Load the Extraordinary Plug-in - Shadow Gold!"

[Loaded - Are·you·ready?] 】

"Armor!"

A quick and short exchange of words passed, accompanied by a subtle mechanical vibration, with the belt around Kler's waist as the source, a large cloud of black dust and mist erupted, surrounded by golden lines, like lightning, completely enveloping Kreller - and the next moment, all the dust and golden lightning shrank violently, and then turned into a strange black and gold full-coverage armor, completely enveloping Kreler, and it could be seen that there was an unquenchable dim flame burning above his head and on both shoulders, at its core, There were golden sparks flickering.

It's handsome, even with the Amos aesthetic. On the side, Elma, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but have such a thought in her heart.

【Qiao's system special installation version start...... Linking the crisis management system and starting a modular approach...... Extraordinary Armor: Flame of Shadow Gold is fully open]

[Latent, raiding, cutting grass and eradicating roots, we are all the flames in the shadows! ] 】

"Activate, Shadow Path!"

Without any hesitation, Kreel, who activated the extraordinary armor, immediately used the core of the armor's extraordinary abilities, the 'Shadow Path'! As you can see, a knife that seems to appear completely out of shadow suddenly appears in his hand, and Creller does not hesitate to throw the knife in the right direction with the assistance of Elma.

Then you can see that a black streamer of light flashes away, and it goes straight into the interior of the Void settlement not far away.

Shadow Path!

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

[Creates a Shadow Knife and throws it in any direction to form a Shadow Path, which can penetrate almost all space-time barriers, energy defenses, matter walls, and stance shields as long as the user is within range of the Shadow Path.] 】

[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 a test animal!' What does this mean? 】

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

Nodding slightly to Elma on the side, Creller sped directly along the Shadow Path, which seemed to be a long distance that could be crossed in an instant, and even the detection organ specially prepared by Elma didn't see how Creller crossed this Shadow Path.

"It's like a migration!"

At this moment, Kreller had entered the interior of the Void Settlement, but Elma's voice could still be heard, because the clothes on his body were part of the other party's body...... However, Kreller didn't have time to care about what Elma said at the moment, because in his spirit, the warning from the crisis management system pierced his eardrums.

【Warning! Anomalous biomass detected! 】

【Warning! Feel the erosion of alien matter! 】

【Warning! Massive microscopic lifeforms are approaching! 】

What the heck?!

Even if he was mentally prepared for the danger inside the Void Settlement, Klerler didn't expect the danger to come so quickly and so unusually—he had just raised his head and glanced at the walls and halls that didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, when he was attacked by something strange that he couldn't see at all!

"Damn, is this all there is to us?!"

As a last resort, Clarer can only use the second transcendent ability of the Extraordinary Armor Flame of Darkness [Shadow Desolation].

Based on the previous activation of the Transcendent Armor, Elma and Kreller know that the Flame of Darkness has four powerful transcendent abilities, [Shadow Path], [Shadow Desolation], [Sun Refraction] and [Ember Descending]

Among them, [Shadow Path] is to move and hide, you can either throw it out for long-distance displacement, or throw it at your feet to hide yourself in the shadows. [Sun Refraction] can create a small cloud of steel mist around the body, which is a complete stealth method, which can completely eliminate all traces of Kler's breath, energy fluctuations, etc., and can also be turned into a shield in times of crisis, canceling and rebounding some non-physical energy damage.

As for [Ember Arrival], it is a complete life-saving skill, with an extremely long cooldown, but the effect is very great - when the wearer encounters mortal danger, the crisis management system will forcibly burst out the full power of the Shadow Gold, delivering a legendary blow, and at the same time, regardless of whether the wearer dies or not (most likely dies on the spot), the flesh will be burned to ashes, and the soul and the core of the Shadow Gold will be teleported to the side of a part of the Shadow Gold fragments cut out in advance, and then regenerate and recover.

In addition to special skills, armor can also greatly improve the physical fitness and reaction speed of the equipper, as well as a variety of auxiliary combat systems, it can be described as an all-round amplifier, even if a seventy-year-old grandmother is equipped with it, I am afraid that it can defeat the extraordinary profession that is not proficient in combat.

And [Phantom Desolation] is the only means of attack of the entire Phantom Golden 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 decomposed and shattered by the power of steel in the space, which is the most perfect means of attack and defense, except that it cannot be long-ranged. But in addition, there is another disadvantage that is not a disadvantage, because the power of the Phantom Desolation is too great, it is likely to accidentally injure teammates, or absorb the attacks of teammates, so it can't be deployed when there are many allies, and only when infiltrating and being surrounded by many enemies, when the user is ready to break through or kill witnesses, can it maximize its power.

With the activation of the shadow desolation, a layer of dim shadow appeared on the surface of Kler's body, as soon as it appeared, it immediately ignited a cloud of dark golden flames in the seemingly empty space around it, and continued to spread in all directions, Kreller looked around in shock, of course he knew that this was a vision of an invisible existence in the air being eroded by the power of steel, but he still hadn't figured out what was attacking him.

“…… Creeler, go find the NWFB family...... Corpse. ”

Elma, who witnessed all this in real time with the black-haired youth, was the first to react, and she soon knew that the 'universal logistics personnel' who lived here, and the NWFB family, which she was quite familiar with, might have encountered an accident, but sadness and anger did not make her hesitate for a moment, Elma guided: "The NWFB family is not large, they are a professional logistics family, and while living in this void settlement, they are also responsible for maintaining the bodies and machinery of passing patrols and combatants. Most of the time, they should be around the maintenance room on the lower middle side of the settlement. ”

"Okay."

Naturally, Kreller had no objections, 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, and the ordinary doors of the other party look as huge as the triumphal arch in the capital of the Far South Kingdom, and they are like villains who have entered the giant country. However, with the support of the transcendent armor and the guidance of Elma, he quickly passed through the corridors and came to the periphery of the maintenance room on the middle and lower levels of the Void Base.

Along the way, Klerer encounters several more formless and insubstantial existence attacks, but they are all solved by Kreller using the Shadow Desolation, and soon, Kreller encounters his first target.

The remains of a massive, snail-like creature.

The skeleton was forty meters long, twenty-five meters high, and an astonishing twenty meters wide, and its main body was a large, alloyed metal volute, supported by a network of carbon fiber columns, which appeared to be the skeleton in front of the creature.

On the corpse, there was no flesh and blood, there was no pus on the ground, the existence of rotting flesh, the whole corpse was clean, even if Klerler used the shadow to get closer, he did not perceive the existence of invisible danger - this corpse was empty, nothing, nothing left.

"What kind of creature is this......"

Naturally, Kreyler was surprised, he looked at the huge corpse that was enough to lie on the side of a building, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the Amos? You're huge, even the support staff have such amazing bodies! ”

"That's not right!"

But Klerler heard Elma's solemn voice: "No! The corpses of the Simba family are not like this...... What they chose to evolve is the evolution of the information processing system of the specialized 'brain'! They don't have such a cumbersome thing as a shell at all, and they usually soak in the nutrient solution in the maintenance room to deal with the problem of material transfer and maintenance logistics! ”

"Go look elsewhere, it's probably the corpses of other Amos."

Kreller naturally didn't care, with the help of the Shadow Path, the various walls and blocked gates of the Void Settlement were useless to him, and in less than ten minutes, he had walked through every corner of the entire Void Settlement.

And in the process, counting 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 fragmented skeleton, and one left only the crystals that should be the crystals of the eyes.

And the strangest thing is that the last corpse - he also grows a huge metal shell, but behind this shell there are two huge jets, which, if I am not mistaken, should be linked to two flesh engines, allowing them to speed up.

“…… Five corpses is the population of the NWFB family...... The eldest son who is engaged in engineering and manufacturing, the mother who carries materials, the second daughter who controls machinery, the second male who is in charge of observation, and the father who is responsible for the maintenance of the Void Battleship. ”

Elma muttered, "Although this corpse is completely different, it has left a distinct character...... And these shapes feel very familiar......"

Soon, she suddenly remembered her familiar feeling: "Wait, aren't these shapes the prototypes of the special abilities and special individuals that we Amos have evolved over the years?!" ”

"It's an atavistic mutation!"

And just as Elma, who was walking back and forth in the surrounding star fields, recalled where the familiar feeling came from, Klerer suddenly received a prompt, and the 'crisis management system' returned an important message.

[Polar microbial ontology has been successfully identified: molecular-level autonomic biological forced evolution (tentative name: extreme virus)]

[Effect: Forced evolution of the host, consuming a lot of energy, 100% opening up the host's potential, and randomly evolving it to a certain level of limit state]

[Hint: If the non-polar level is infected with the evolutionary, it will irreversibly encounter the collapse of the essence of life, in the case of insufficient energy, there is a possibility of 1 in 100 billion successfully evolving into the limit state, and in the case of sufficient energy, there is a possibility that 1 in a million may successfully evolve into the limit state, and the loser will consume all the energy that can be consumed, including but not limited to fat, muscle fibers, blood, ......]
