Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 145 Iron Man’s Secret ([-])
As the ceasefire signal from the Word Bearers arrived, Elaine and his team, driving the Land Raider, immediately broke through the airtight fire net, facing the tide of the Iron Man army and heading straight towards the only entrance to the tower. Rush.

After they passed through the thick smoke, they entered the interior of the giant mechanical tower - and those iron men were mercilessly crushed by the Land Raiders like unarmed civilians. The wide tracks were crushed into fragmented parts, and the weak body materials and structure made it impossible for them to stop the Land Raiders' progress.

But even so, the iron men still surged forward like living corpses who knew nothing about life and death, being crushed like wheat by the iron cavalry.

Gradually, the roaring and roaring sound of the engine began to disappear, symbolizing that Elaine and his party were gradually getting deeper into it.At the same time, the external firepower network has once again returned to its previous level.

As for the scene inside the giant mechanical tower... it probably fully conforms to Elaine's conjecture.

Although most of the view inside the mechanical tower was blocked due to the Iron Man army, and only some iconic buildings could be seen, Elaine was still able to analyze the many energy readings returned by the auspicious device. A general view of the interior of the huge building.

There is no doubt that this is the building she saw in the subspace that day. The terrain inside is like a ruined castle in the Middle Ages, as well as the mechanical zombies slowly climbing up all over the mountains and plains. All of them are the same as what she saw at that time. The scene corresponds completely.

When the Land Raider ran over the tide of Iron Man corpses all over the mountains and plains, its tracks covered with wear and tear finally touched the ground. It was the sandy landform that can often be seen in Colchis, or in other words, it was simply this tower. The desert where it originally stood.

"Wait...so this building doesn't have a foundation at all?"

"Or...are we in another dimension? Is this what the inside of this giant tower looks like?"

Looking at the endless desert in front of him through the porthole, Kahn said with some doubts.

The scene in front of them did not match any elements of [the interior of the giant tower]. Rather than saying that they had entered the interior of the building, it was as if they had fallen headlong into subspace.

You must know that any huge building needs a solid enough foundation to survive. If it is replaced by a hive city with a similar size, then I am afraid that the entire plate will be transformed into a foundation that can bear the huge hive city, and Original landform?Not a single stone or grain of sand from the original landform will be left behind.

Obviously, what he saw was beyond Kahn's imagination.

"…Do not."

In response to Kahn's doubts, Elaine slowly shook her head, her eyes extremely solemn.

My guess was indeed mostly correct...

But it's almost the worst result.

"Here is the interior of this building..."

"No, it's better to say -"

"The inside of that thing's [projection]."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the end of the horizon.

It was a dilapidated, dilapidated, and even somewhat weird mechanical tower.

There was no doubt that it was the mechanical tower she had seen before, but the huge eyeball on it had long since disappeared, leaving only a hollow mark.

At this moment, Elaine finally understood why the giant tower outside always made her feel familiar. There was no doubt that the shape and outline of the giant tower outside were all magnified in proportion to the mechanical tower in front of her. product.

It's not so much a copy as it is a [projection].Only the statement of projection can be consistent with the results they observed, and can also explain why all the weapons of the Human Empire are ineffective against it.

There is no doubt that the giant tower outside is just a projection from beginning to end - no attack from the real universe can affect it, which means that its existence far exceeds the dimension that humans can understand.

And Elaine also vaguely remembered the information about [Iron Man Rebellion].

In that ancient, dark era filled with madness, the mutual attacks between Iron Man and humans acted on both the real universe and the subspace dimension.

The reason may be to destroy each other most completely, or it may be to interrupt each other's thoughts of escaping from the battlefield, but when Elaine saw this scene, a simple, yet creepy idea seemed to emerge in her mind. .

What if... just because it is impossible to attack in the dimensions of subspace and the real universe at the same time, any attack will be ineffective?
This also means that if you want to fight against these civilizations with countless ancient technologies, even if they are completely destroyed from the planetary level, it is meaningless.

The dark age of technology is always so shocking.

And this is enough to show how terrifying the Iron Man rebellion that took place in the dark technological age was. Just a glimpse of that dilapidated era is enough to make the current human empire feel at a loss what to do about it.

Moreover, from this weird technology that projects in the real universe and subspace almost simultaneously, it can be seen that the disputes in the dark technological age have spread to unimaginable levels.

However, there were some things that surprised her.

First of all, this mechanical tower is definitely not a subspace creation.

On the contrary, Elaine even believed that it could even isolate the influence of subspace - the moment she entered this building, she clearly felt that the strength of the spiritual connection between herself and her descendants had been weakened a lot by being invisible, not so much It was like entering a building, or rather, it was like entering the body of an [untouchable person].

Wait...untouchables...?
Thinking of this, Elaine frowned.

Logically speaking, the Iron Man created by the Stone Man should have no soul at all and even be completely isolated from the subspace. However, the core of the Iron Man's omnic that he saw before was contaminated by the subspace and even became a demon. Became a great demon of Tzeentch.

This is strange.

Since the Iron Men have no soul at all, they have no projection at all in the subspace, and naturally cannot be corroded or corrupted - you know, even the [machine soul] often mentioned by the mechanical priests, to some extent It is also the projection of the soul of the steel creation in the subspace.

It can be said that, except for some extremely rare untouchables, everything in the real universe has a close connection with the subspace at its root.

However, the iron men created by the stone men are among the rare races that are "isolated from the subspace".

So, who was the iron man I saw earlier...?
While Elaine was still deep in thought, a sudden change interrupted her thinking.

An iron man stopped the Land Raider's advance with his body.

　To be honest, when I was writing the last paragraph, I suddenly thought of the scene in FGO 2.2 when Xigo overturned the Chaldean car when he first appeared. The Land Raider also happened to be an iron box (
