The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Neither Li He nor Dalia answered, so Soshyan had to choose for himself whether to trust this unknown abomination intelligence or reject it to avoid further risks.

At least, judging from what happened on Xerxes, things that come to you may eventually require a heavier price, no matter how beautiful the prospects are depicted. The Multitude Gathered is still a creation whose thoughts cannot be fathomed, and it is now subservient to an even more unpredictable star god.

The situation of this Dark Maze trip exceeded Soshyan's previous expectations, and he did not get the key information he expected. Well, although there were some gains, what Soshyan urgently wanted to know now was the secret about the star gods, but not only did he not get this, he always felt that the Void Dragon had done something he didn't know.

Did the mortal call him to see the Void Dragon, or was there another purpose?

It's not that Soshyan is naturally suspicious, but with so many things, so many people, and so many schemes, his life has become like looking at flowers in the fog, so unreal. He can no longer trust anyone easily, not even the throne he swore to serve.

The next moment, he made a sudden move.

With a gloomy expression, Soshyan slammed his right hand on the head of the battle robot like lightning and activated the Grey Matter.

Subsequently, his whole person fell into an infinite-dimensional space, where there was no scenery, no sky, no distance, only circuits and gears intertwined, and electric currents constantly shuttling through the air.

Soshyan's consciousness seemed to have entered a space completely ruled by logic and science. Each circuit and gear possessed infinite possibilities, assigned to the roles they should play, striving for a concise and precise goal. There was no emotion here, only absolute rationality, a rationality derived from unfathomable mathematical principles and scientific formulas, sufficient to govern the operation of the entire world.

In this space, it seemed that time and space had lost their original meaning. A second here might seem infinitely long, and a tiny space could hide the entire universe, and then they were constantly combined into geometric shapes, each geometric surface flashing with blue light, constantly intersecting lines and currents. At the same time, the space was filled with an unspeakable sound, a symphony containing mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Soshyan wasn't sure if he had entered an ordinary machine or a super AI, but the senses that Grey Matter brought him were so peculiar.

Cold mathematical logic dominated what he saw, as if the existence of this space needed no explanation. It was both an extension of machinery and circuits, the ultimate in science, and the ultimate in rationality.

Even in endless time, it was impossible to reach its end. This was a world that was constantly being perfected and optimized, a bizarre treasure trove of cold mathematical logic.

Suddenly, this world accelerated its operation. Small gears drove larger parts to rotate together, and a rough voice sounded:

"The origin is hidden in time and space."

"Without beginning or end, unable to escape, never destroyed."

Soshyan's expression at that moment was very complicated, perhaps he was tired of the endless riddles of the gears, or perhaps something mixed deep in his memory was being excavated little by little with the rotation of the gears.

"Without beginning or end, unable to escape, never destroyed."

The illusion of the gears transformed into gloom.

"That place with the ancient name, and that thing that is permanently cursed."

The thing that is permanently cursed.

The next moment, he remembered, or rather, he saw it.

In the lightless space, filled with a chaotic color, it was surrounded by countless huge chains engraved with runes, like a Dyson sphere.

Salanoga.

This was what the Void Dragon really wanted to tell him. In order to avoid the "guardians" and "watchers," it deliberately conveyed it in this way. This was perhaps a gamble, betting that Soshyan would make such a move.

A complete, insane star god, perhaps also the ultimate means to unravel the secret of the Undying Starfall.

Or perhaps, it was his ultimate trump card to get rid of the control of certain forces.

Whatever it was, the Void Dragon very definitely wanted to tell him, and also let him know its location, located in a lightless area in the southern Milky Way far from the Astronomican, and the closest to that was the Storm Nebula.

Instantly, everything around disappeared.

However, Soshyan did not immediately return to the real world. Instead, the psychedelic mechanical space around him collapsed, and then his feet landed on the ground.

"This is—"

Soshyan found himself in a magnificent world. Strange buildings and neon lights constituted the main part of his vision. Towering buildings flashed with red, green, and blue lights, occasionally bursting out with dazzling flashes, as if breaking the balance of this silent world.

Beyond the distant skyline, huge pyramid-shaped buildings stood, awe-inspiring.

The most amazing thing was that all the buildings were suspended in the air. They had no base and no support. Connecting them were black roads, and flying vehicles shaped like various animals constantly flew over the higher levels of the buildings. Soshyan was on a street, and he could see flashing subtitles in glowing fonts in every direction. These subtitles changed from time to time and were in a language that he seemed to recognize but didn't, like High Gothic but even more unique.

For some reason, Soshyan realized that this should be a human city, but the colorful neon lights inlaid on the streets and the buildings full of unknown sensations seemed to lead to another world, and were far from the human civilization in his mind.

Walking here, it was as if he were a sleepwalker, experiencing another world.

Suddenly, something floated past him. Soshyan took a closer look and saw that it was a butterfly with electronic circuits on its wings.

Blinking, Soshyan suddenly turned around and followed it. Everything that appeared here would never be meaningless.

After walking a few steps, the electronic butterfly flew into a halo located on the edge of the street. Soshyan also walked in, and instantly he was teleported to a place.

This looked like a messy bedroom. The furniture seemed to be made of metal. The walls were covered with colorful female paintings? The bookshelves didn't hold books, but various holographic images and sculptures of strangely and revealingly dressed women.

"Whew, finished."

A voice attracted Soshyan's attention. It was a fat figure stuck in a chair. He seemed to be facing a huge frameless screen. On his left and right were two floating circular metal objects, each with three metal tentacles, seemingly operating something on the table.

Then, the chair turned around, and Soshyan's cheeks twitched.

A human, or rather, a fat, bloated, approximately twenty-year-old adult male, wearing glasses, his skin seemed very unhealthy due to long-term sleep deprivation, with many pimples and very oily, constantly stuffing puffed food into his mouth. He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, with a red-haired female with pointy ears resembling an Eldar printed in the middle of the shirt, and the two metal balls on his left and right also turned around. Their fronts were large circular displays, simulating very human-like expressions, like a metal monster with a huge single eye, their metal tentacles swaying gently in the air.

The human-like virtual faces they simulated made Soshyan think of Mu Hu for some reason. These two might be the former forms of Mu Hu's type, or the early forms of the Stone Men? Only later did they have human-like bodies?

"Finally developed it. With Lina-chan, I don't have to work so hard in Vatite! She will be the most perfect auxiliary system! A system with built-in learning simulation and anti-detection capabilities! It can also protect my account from third-party attacks! It's just too perfect!"

Saying that, the male raised a small instrument in his hand.

"Activate!"

A flash of white light passed, and a beautiful girl with a short skirt on her lower body, a very childish red and yellow jacket in Soshyan's eyes, wearing headphones, and long yellow hair tied into pigtails almost dragging on the ground appeared in mid-air, and slowly opened her eyes, turning her head to look at Soshyan.
