Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 295 Giant Elephant = Deterrence Value Printing Machine (4K)

Walking through the intricate personnel passages, Falin still couldn't figure out what was happening here.

At this moment, the old and frail professor suffering from a genetic disease was chasing him at an alarming speed. His strange posture of crawling on all fours and the metal skeleton exposed in front of his chest all proved that he was a synthetic human disguised by the Sermon Protocol.

The people of the Ashes Alliance were right. It turned out that those things had already infiltrated the Earth Federation society a long time ago. It was a pity that before that, the golden man members of the Earth Federation Parliament regarded the warning from the Hymn Girls as a joke.

Listening to the footsteps approaching rapidly and becoming heavier from behind, Falin's physical strength had already reached its limit. At the same time, the central AI in the base continued to provide wrong routes, trying to prevent her from moving towards the safe house for refuge.

The AI ​​that was originally set to never betray humans has now launched a full-scale rebellion. There is no doubt that all this is related to the [Rectification Protocol]. As a civilization that is highly dependent on AI technology, if nothing unexpected happens, the entire Earth Federation is probably in chaos.
While thinking, he looked ahead at the dark passage that was dark due to power outage. The safe house for temporary shelter was right in front of him. However, just before he was about to touch the electronic door lock, Falin seemed to realize something and stopped in a hurry.

Almost at the same time, a bloody mechanical arm suddenly broke through the wall and stretched out from the other end. The sudden situation frightened Falin and she fell to the ground.

Looking at the mechanical arm that suddenly locked tightly, the frightened Falin couldn't help but reach out and touch her neck. If she hadn't stopped in time, her spine would have been broken by that thing.

"What exactly is going on"

And all this was just because the image of himself being torn to pieces by mechanical claws flashed through his mind just now. This situation made Falin, a dimensional scholar, more convinced that the memories that had previously emerged in his mind were by no means as simple as dreams.

There is a high probability that I have fallen into some kind of irreversible cycle. Someone has deliberately intercepted the dimensional space in which I am currently located. But why would the other party do this?
Seeing that the attack had no results, a Supremacy mecha over four meters tall cut through the metal plate on the wall with the sound of cracking metal, walked out of the already occupied shelter and stood in front of Falin like a wall. At the same time, the previous pursuers had appeared behind them.

Like a hound, the synthetic man in human skin was the first to move and pounced towards Falin. However, just as the creature's front feet took off,
【Squat down.】

For some reason, these three words suddenly appeared on the electronic screen beside the corridor. Just as Farin lowered her head, there was a flash of fluorescent light at the end of the tunnel. The next second, several laser beams wrapped in electric arcs penetrated the body of the synthetic man from behind at a height close to the scalp.

The blazing lasers hit multiple vital parts simultaneously, and the deadly electric arcs scorched the electronic components within the synthetic human body, destroying it in the blink of an eye into a pile of scrap copper and iron with no recycling value at all.

Realizing that the situation had changed, the Supremacy mecha immediately switched its target and fired several powerful plasma balls in the direction of the light beam. When the light ball exploded, the strong light burst out instantly lit up the tunnel in the distance.

It was also in that light that a team of intelligent robots holding energy shields and lined up in the middle of the passage suddenly caught Faline's attention. The reactive armor made of pure black alloy made them look like heavy knights from ancient times.

That's not a ground unit.
Who are they? Could it be that there is also civil strife among AIs?

However, before she could come to her senses, the two forces started fighting without any explanation, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, Falin was caught in the battle zone between the two sides. As arc plasma and phase shells specially designed to penetrate shields continued to explode around her, she was like a fallen leaf caught in a storm.

There was nothing she could do at this moment except whispering her lover's name and curling up in the corner with her hands on her head like a hedgehog.

"Nyos"

As time went by, just when Falin thought she would die in the battle, the next moment, in the dazzling light caused by the explosion, she vaguely saw a blurry figure appear in front of her.

The moment the other party appeared, Falin was surprised to find that the scenes around her began to become confusing. At the same time, the figure that seemed to come from another dimension was gradually approaching her. In contrast, the sounds of the explosions were becoming more and more distant, as if there was a force dragging her to quickly escape from here.

Until one moment, everything returned to silence again. When Falin opened her eyes again, the figure that was like an imaginary spirit had already brought her to a space where there was nothing.

In a state of complete ignorance, a young man's voice was heard coming from the mouth of the phantom.

"Neos, I want to know what kind of relationship you have with this person."

The sound echoed in the silent and empty imaginary space, as if it was made by a thousand people at the same time.

As if possessing some special magical power, the moment she heard the voice, Falin, whose head was swollen as if she had a hangover, answered the question in a low voice without realizing it.

"He is my love."

"spouse?"

Hearing such an answer, the phantom felt a little surprised at first, and then uttered such a puzzling sentence in a monologue tone.

"Could it really be that old guy's?"

"Could it be that Trazyn did this on purpose?"

As they were talking, Falin noticed that the other person had a photo in his hand. It was a photo of herself and Neos. At this moment, the other person's eyes were fixed on the long-haired young man with a melancholy expression in the photo.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but as his spirit recovered, after roughly observing the surrounding environment, the researcher Falin first stood up from the ground, and then observed the strange ghost-like guy in front of him with a nervous face.

"Are you the one who trapped us in that dimensional maze?"

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. If you promise to answer my questions seriously, I can release you from this maze. Of course, I can also send you back at any time to repeat this time and space cycle until the next millennium. The specific choice is up to you."

As he spoke, the shadow first put away the photo of "Neos" and the woman in his hand, and looked at it carefully as if he had seen some extraordinary treasure.

Hearing this, Falin knew that it was meaningless to resist an unknown force that possessed such technology, so it was better to cooperate with the other party for the time being.
"I promise you."

"As long as I can regain my freedom, I can promise you anything"

It seemed that this answer aroused his interest.

"anything?"

As the words fell, the surrounding environment changed again.

"This is what you said, I hope you won't break your promise"

Then she heard the voice close to her ear, saying these words in a tone that could hardly conceal its joy.

"Welcome to the 42nd Millennium."

*
*
It felt like falling into an abyss.

As the voice came, Falin, who felt weak all over, felt her legs go limp.

The subsequent transformation of space and dimension made Falin feel her stomach churning.

After a moment, when the blurry image in front of her eyes began to take shape again, she stared at the crystal deck in front of her with both hands. Only then did she notice that she was already in a hall decorated with crystals and in a religious style.

At this moment, a man in a black robe was standing in front of him, staring at him along with many people in strange costumes around him.

Although separated by a mask, Falin could still clearly feel the other party's curious gaze.

Among these many people, a familiar face caught her attention.

"Clara? Is it really you?" The woman's tone could not hide her surprise. Being able to see a familiar person in this situation was obviously a blessing.

Having said that, according to Clara herself, the two had only met once, and all this happened tens of thousands of years ago. Although for Farin, who was trapped in the dimensional maze and experienced billions of cycles, everything seemed like yesterday, it is clear that the other party has not realized this cruel fact until now.

About half an hour later.

Sitting around the round table in the prayer hall.

"The 42nd millennium?"

"How can this be!"

It was only then that Farin finally understood what had happened to her after hearing the stories told by Clara and Otto.

The once glorious civilization had been destroyed, and he was one of the few survivors who had "luckily" survived for tens of thousands of years because of the existence of the dimensional maze, plunging headfirst from the enviable golden age into the giant cesspool of the Indomitable Crusade period.

But having said that, I have to say that Huangpizi has a pretty good eye.
Looking at the young woman in front of him who exudes a scholarly temperament and has an intellectual beauty, Otto couldn't help but look at her a few more times when he thought of her special identity. It was not until Huifeng poked his arm with his finger that Otto withdrew his attention from some strange directions.

"You mean to say that the Iron Man rebellion started by Su Zheng was the main reason for the destruction of the Earth Alliance?"

The other person's eyes were so terrified, it was exactly the same as Otto's when he first learned that he had entered the Warhammer universe by squatting on the toilet.

"Could it be that they were not able to successfully clean up the rectification host?"

When he said this, Falin paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then continued with a desperate look.

"That's right. Those people have been busy dealing with the so-called separatist crisis from the beginning to the end. They didn't pay any attention to the alarm we issued, and they didn't care about the technology donated by the Alliance."

Correct the host?

Hearing this, Otto couldn't help but look at Huifeng beside him.

If the exact location of the core can be locked, then the rest of the things will become extremely simple, which will obviously alleviate a lot of trouble.

Realizing that this was a key clue, Clara on the side hurriedly continued to ask.

"So you managed to trace the location of the Suzheng mainframe on your own?"

"where is it?"

Seeing the other person's serious expression, the woman named Falin was obviously frightened by this scene. In the end, she had no choice but to honestly confess everything she knew like a prisoner being interrogated.

"Based on our tracing of the ghost signal within the galaxy, the host is most likely located within the territory of the Aida Empire."

Within the territory of the ancient Eldar Empire?

When Otto heard the news, he felt like he was on a roller coaster.

Because nowadays the old imperial people generally call that place like this.

——The Eye of Terror.

broken
It seems that my previous guess was completely correct.

Now that thing, along with the entire mechanical planet it was on, had completely fallen into the hands of Chaos.

This means that if Otto wants to solve such a threat right now, it seems that there are only two options left for him.

First, gather an army and launch an expedition into the subspace.

Or maybe the other
I tried to overturn everyone's table.
While he was thinking, several lines of text on the system panel appeared in front of Otto.

According to his assignment, Gabriel had read the STC template previously obtained from Farin.

[There is now a new research option available: Colossus]

[A powerful star destroyer system that can completely wipe out a planet with just the push of a button. ]

[Ship Star Destroyer Parts: Earth-shattering Star (Unlocked)]

Thinking of this, Otto switched the content menu of the system console panel again.

[Switch to the Deterrence Value Panel]

[Current natural disaster level: small threat]

[Current Deterrence: 570]

[When the deterrence reaches 1000 points, the stage can be upgraded to cannot be ignored. ]

It will take a full thousand points of deterrence to raise the level of the natural disaster.

At present, the fastest way to gain deterrence besides annihilating hostile forces and conquering designated targets is.
[Destroy hostile planets: Increase deterrence by 100 at one time]

After roughly estimating the current output of various resources in the territory, Otto immediately issued such instructions to Gray Wind beside him through the brain wave device installed on his temple.

——Inform Haven’s shipyard to raise the Colossus’ dock to the highest priority.

Soon after the order was issued, Otto once again looked at the woman named Farin with a scrutinizing gaze.

I didn't expect that there was such a great gift hidden in the maze given by Trazyn.
If Gabriel and William had not taken the initiative to ask, I might not have noticed these things in a short period of time.

A complete set of well-preserved tech templates for the Colossus and its supporting components.

Information about the exact location of the main core of the rectification.

and an anthropologist from the Golden Age.

Although it is still unknown what that thing can be used for, Otto still wants to say something to an old comrade named Neos when he thinks of this.

"don’t worry"

"I will take care of your wife and children."
