Chapter 1301: God-level Life Horror
Spirituality comes from the true spirit, and the true spirit is a mystery that even the Creator does not know very well.
Where did it come from, and how did it come to be?
High-dimensional?
Just as darkness breeds light, the essence born from nothingness when matter is brewing?
These questions have been in Kane's mind for some time.
From a wish point of view, he hoped to get some answers at Gradius.
Because the Warhammer 40K universe is special, and Gradius is the more special one in the Warhammer 40K universe.
The special feature of the Warhammer 40K universe lies in the relationship between the subspace and the physical universe.
If the universe is a set of Windows-like operating systems, then most of the creatures in the universe live in the foreground, even on the desktop. The laws of the universe are mostly running back to Taiwan. This includes many of the most common phenomena of mass-energy conversion.
In Warhammer 40K, the phenomenon of mass-energy conversion is more exposed, as if the main body is completed, but the details, especially the human-machine interface, have not yet been developed, so that ordinary people can theoretically understand and participate in this operation.
Kane felt that perhaps the Warhammer 40K universe was a microcosm, not only a microcosm of the interaction between the physical universe representing mass and the subspace representing energy, but also a microcosm of the relationship between nothingness and reality.
In the Warhammer 40K universe, the people who know the mysteries of the universe the most are probably the ancient saints. Star gods and evil gods, although they were born earlier and existed long enough, Nurgle is still a super scholar who has studied poisonous plague tirelessly for millions of years with his hobby, but in Kane's eyes, he has such and such fatal shortcomings, and he is not a fellow believer in analyzing all things and seeking true transcendence.
The local gods are still like this, and they have brought out some of the gods' terrifying monsters from the mother's womb, which is naturally even more disdainful.
The Horror Monster is very interested in Kane's creation, the Wizard of Order.
In fact, the soul of the wizard of order is not nourished. Because there is no spirituality.
Its mimic soul is specially developed by Kane, a combination of technology and transcendence, a kind of quantum life, or spirit body.
For a long time, Kane was accustomed to making puppets in one piece.
For example, his war insect series is to breed war insects through culture tanks or insect eggs, and their spirit and flesh are blended from the moment they are born, the so-called original goods.
But nowadays, Kane prefers to use assembled goods.
This is because with the improvement of microscopic technology, he has the ability to create more delicately from the perspective of spirit and flesh.
He said a long time ago that the body is but the first tool of the soul.
But at that time, the only one who could carry out various enhancements and cultivation according to this concept was himself.
Now, he has moved away from the realm of being alone and can radiate to the surrounding area.
It is in this context that the Wizard of Order was born.
The shell is a vessel in which the spirit is made by the transcendent, and knowledge and personality are acquired through information indoctrination. Finally, in the way of snatching away, the spirit enters the body, and after the deployment, it is the wizard of order.
In the eyes of the frightened monsters, the souls of the wizards of order are unusually bright, they don't know that it is actually a 'plastic fruit', which looks good, and it is definitely not fragrant or nutritious to eat.
They are like a group of gourmets who have discovered private delicacies, and just looking at them makes their mouths come to their mouths.
And they are also instinctively interested in the shells of the wizards of order, because of the mystical elements within.
Immediately, a subspace-style predatory war began.
Some of the frightened monsters are running on the ground, some are flying in the sky, howling and initiating the group to the fullest, if there is a dense phobia, then the dark clouds of frightened monsters can definitely make the illness attack.
The wizards of order, who took advantage of the truce to take an emergency break, did not assemble to meet the battle, but activated the rapid-fire cannon array of the energy fortress.
This is a typical bullying with the technique of using a high club.
The owner of the First Order is a powerful energy production equipment that ordinary people can hardly estimate and imagine. Therefore, the application of Lida brick flying can be seen everywhere.
Like this energy fortress, it is to build nodes with flying intelligent magic weapons, thus forming a pyramid-shaped energy barrier.
The rapid-fire cannon of the magic circle, its firing device, looks like a magic circle on the top of the energy barrier, the outer circle and the inner square, like an enlarged copper coin.
These circles are made up of glowing energy lines, and the square hole in the center of them is the muzzle.
And it is not flat, but according to the thickness of the energy barrier, it has a recessed tubular depth, and by adjusting this tubular depth, the firing angle can be changed.
This design makes the energy barrier like a super firepower station with a gun barrel like a hedgehog needle, which can attack in all directions.
The forces of the First Order rested in it, and only a handful of ghosts roamed outside.
The frightened monsters do not have the consciousness of normal army combat, or rather, although they are making trouble, they are doing their own thing, not listening to the orders of the orcs at all, and even regardless of the situation in front of them.
Sensing the presence of plastic apples through their special subspatial perception, they begin to assemble at their own rhythm and then launch an offensive.
They look like a group of social creatures who are always accustomed to acting together in large groups, but in Kane's eyes, they are simply a god, breaking themselves into tens of thousands of parts, and when they are put together, they are a whole.
And that's just the result from the point of view of their existential attributes. From the perspective of consciousness, it is already a group of independent individuals.
It is equivalent to each individual being split into two at intervals, and then their respective experiences and cognitions never share the same affiliation, although from the perspective of attributes, the sum is complete, but it is really combined, even if the consciousness does not collapse, it is by no means the original.
The Horror Monster relied on this split to solve the side effects of soul devouring. At the same time, it reduces hunger and thirst and reduces self-consumption.
Of course, this is actually a kind of self-deception, and the act of separatism itself is a huge consumption, and this consumption is a huge deficit whether it falls on the separating or the separated. And after being divided into two, some of the original single expenses have completely become double portions, as if they were living separately, originally sharing a 100L refrigerator, but now they are using two 75L refrigerators, and the total amount is higher.
Therefore, it is only necessary to look at the number of a horde of horrors to know how crazy and thirsty they are, and the group in front of them, according to Miranda's statistics, numbered more than thirty thousand.
Kane couldn't figure out how the orcs managed to get the hordes onto the ship and live in peace.
And the truth is actually not difficult to guess, sacrifice. With a large amount of blood food, it temporarily calmed the eternal hunger and thirst of the frightened monster.
Engage in the Cassus as a secret weapon. Although the timing of its appearance is somewhat inopportune, Gazo still has unfamiliar confidence in it.
Moreover, the timing of the appearance of the horror monster is not right, and the Gazus is also quite responsible.
It had thought it was good, the two sides paused the exchange of fire to recuperate, and then the Horror raided, and after the orcs recuperated, a wave of cover-up followed.
It's a pity that it still suffers from the underestimation of the opponent's strength. If it is replaced by a human commander, most of them will think through the last confrontation between the two sides that since the ship technology of the First Order is so high, it must not be much worse in other aspects, and the ceasefire and recuperation must be properly arranged for logistics items, and the opponent will not easily take advantage of the loophole.
But the orcs, even if their intelligence supports such depth and open-mindedness, basically do not have such habits of thinking.
In addition, the Horror Monster is not the kind of troops that can be quickly deployed after giving orders, but needs to be lured into the battlefield through a fishing-style method, which is not only costly, but also does not guarantee how long it will take for the fish to take the bait, and it is impossible to break free from the hook in the process of fishing.
As a result, the timing of the Horror Monster's entry was delayed, and the energy barrier on the side of the First Order was quickly constructed, and at this time, it was impossible to arrange the Horror Monster to find another fighter, and the Horror Monster went its own way, gathered almost all of its kind, and began to charge.
Due to the huge number of troublemakers, soon after the combat power of the First Order entered, they divided their forces to fight. The one attacked by the Horrors was the largest in number and the most domineering in its route, obviously the one that was going to kill from the stern to the bow of the ship, with more than 180 wizards of order, and even more Wraith and Starship paratroopers. There are also engineering units that are several times larger than the combat units.
Of course, even so, the total number is only more than 3,500, and the horror monster is 30,000+.
The First Order has proven in previous battles that more numbers does not equal more chances of winning. This time is the same, the firepower of the rapid-fire cannon is dense and accurate, and the power is also great, especially after entering the range of 200 meters, all kinds of war machines piloted by the starship paratroopers have also joined the battle sequence, and the firepower and accuracy have reached a peak, so the death zone appears.
The horrors in the air were torn apart and rained down, and the ground was covered with corpses, forming a pile of corpses.
However, the overall propulsion effect of the Horror does not end with the inability of the individual to cross the death zone.
This is because, in addition to being able to split, they are also able to fuse to stop losses after being injured. And this kind of fusion is not a deliberate operation of individual consciousness, but a kind of life instinct.
As a result, I saw that in the corpse wall formed by the death zone, there were constantly deformed combination monsters that were difficult to describe in words, they were not the kind of monsters that slowly wriggled and looked like ooze monsters, but after birth, they were like beasts out of the gate, and the pig suddenly advanced and had extraordinary momentum.
Moreover, after fusion, their divine radiation ability has also been greatly increased, and they already have the characteristics of gods or ozarzi creatures.
The creatures of Ozachi, like the Old Dominators, are beings born of the Void.
Just as the ordinary universe gave birth to primordial gods, the void that contains countless universes also has super lifeforms born, and when they were born, they were life-like beings on the stage of the multiverse, and the reason why the Old Dominator and the Ozarzi are remembered by more intelligent life is because both are predators.
Herbivores fear carnivores, and in many worlds, this is the instinct of life, and even if they have never seen it, they will still know that it is their natural enemy at first sight. This applies to the feeling of life towards the old ruler and the ozarci.
In the Magic universe, the domineering nature of the Ozaki creatures is vividly demonstrated through a special ability, 'Annihilation', which targets not only the living beings, but also the environment and energy that the living beings depend on, such as mountains and rivers.
The horrors in front of them, after fusion, have similar characteristics, they forcibly absorb energy from their surroundings in an unreasonable way, and this forcible ingestion includes breaking the basic rules of the universe, causing the molecular bonds of matter to disintegrate, and causing nuclear fusion or nuclear fission of atoms.
Intuitively speaking, it is to convert mass and energy out of thin air, pump out air, dig a large pit in the ground, and then turn it into energy and be absorbed by it.
Moreover, they can also tear through the subtle subspace holes, which are more subtle than the holes, and can even be said to be the basic way for the physical universe to interact with the subspace, and even this can be used, which means that the Horror Monster has the ability to blur the two realms anytime and anywhere, creating chaotic areas. It's just that in the area of Gradius, it's cheaper to do so.
In short, the frightened monster after the fusion is basically the ultimate terrifying existence that ordinary people can imagine in their nightmares, and if you take a step further, you will enter the ranks of the indescribable.
This kind of existence is already equivalent to the secondary clone of the old Dominator in terms of force, and it can use some abilities that are envied by the evil gods.
For example, they can classify and cast subspace energy, much like the magical eight winds of the medieval warhammer. This is equivalent to the Warhammer 40K Transcendent Edition of crude oil refining classification technology, which is a subject that the evil gods are working on to study and thus generalize.
The Horror Monster has this ability because of the instinct of the innate gods.
Being able to be regarded by Kane as an existence at the same level as the star god is naturally extraordinary, even if it is not yet complete, it also shows extraordinary characteristics that are different from usual.
Kane saw the scene of the fused horror monster through visual sharing, frowned, and ordered, "Let's evacuate for the time being!"
Naturally, you can fight.
But the First Order wasn't ready to tear the gods apart. This includes how to ensure that combat intelligence is not leaked.
Kane is now not so secretive about battles of a general nature, and even deliberately shows off his muscles.
But the means of god-level combat, although he has a way to completely abuse this level of gods, but this is a red line, once crossed, it is difficult not to be noticed by the evil god and demon.
It's like in the DND universe, legends are red lines, and all mortals are underneath, and even legends are just stronger ants, but if it's just legends++, there may be a great arcanist who has developed a great arcanist like Casas's divine art, and with the ability to threaten God, this can't be called an ant.
The difference between gods and mortals is here. Technology, magic, no matter how ingenious and novel and sharp, God can laugh at it. But if there is a god-level means, the nature will be different.
Therefore, it can be used, and Kane wants to be able to keep it secret. After all, since I came to the Warhammer 40K universe to the present, because I didn't provoke the evil god early, and I have been condescending to abuse the dish, it is also quite cool. Naturally, he didn't want to be attacked by the evil god without preparation, although most of the time he couldn't kill him, but he discovered his true strength, and the next thing was an endless war.
Once he falls into that mode, even if he wins in the end, he will feel very unhappy. After all, that's equivalent to being pressed all the time, one person can't unite many people, and in the end most of the losses are because the hole cards are exhausted, there is really no card to play, he can finally counterattack, but the opponent is exhausted, and there is nothing left for him.
What's more, this retreat is only to avoid the edge of the frightened beast, and it will not affect the overall situation. The momentum of the Troublemaker's advance has been successfully blocked, and the progress of the other scattered branch warbands is also very good, a large number of the living combat power on the Troublemaker has been killed, and the engineering regiment has followed up effectively, capturing one place and occupying one place.
Therefore, at present, it is nothing more than a thorough understanding of this dispute with the orcs, and it takes a little more time, such a small twist and turn, he will not be unable to tolerate it.
The First Order naturally does not discount Kane's orders at all, and there is no need for Kane to elaborate on why he can still fight but withdraw.
In the force field environment created by the energy barrier, the teleporter is not disturbed by the subspace energy on the troublemaker, and can operate more stably.
So the personnel of the first order were evacuated in an orderly manner. The last to leave was a powerful wizard of order.
The Sorcerer of Order has a resemblance to the Astarte Monks, with the centurion, or company commander, being an officer.
This centurion collected the key magic weapon that supported the energy barrier, and then left through the portal before the barrier collapsed, leaving behind a complete destruction, just like a gas bomb, the entire energy barrier inside and outside, due to the time and space of the force field energy, produced an atomic-level reaction, turned into a plasma fireball, and ended in less than 1 second, and there was nothing left on the scene except the scorched pit.
And the Horrors, who have spent a lot of money, but don't get what they want, where are they going to get it back......?
