Chapter 7 Plague Attack on 6200
The other end of time and space.
Bloody battles in the Galaxy, the territory of the Amos royal court.
Although there is no night and day in the void, according to the traditional customs of the Amos people in various major star fields, this time is the time to rest.
After a long period of planning and preparation, Mycrov temporarily lurked Krell and Elma, a friend of Amos, are now ready to start their exploration of Amos Royal Court. Although this matter has nothing to do with the original goal of the two, any intelligent creature always has a curiosity that can kill him. This is the case with Krell and Elma. They sincerely want to explore the truth behind the abnormal situation of the Royal Court.
After all, behind them, there was a kind and kind God of Steel watching them.
"Are you ready, Kreller."
Compared to the tentacle alien, Elma, who looked more like a tall human woman, was trimming at the front port of the void warship. It can be seen that her body was filled with substantial life energy, and she interacted with the battleship host port. Behind her, the black-haired human young man touched his clothes with a discomfort, and then reluctantly said: "It's ready... uh, so we just drove the warship directly... to be precise, are you going out for a walk in the circle with your body?"
Krell now knows the specific lifestyle of the Amos people... In the Amos court, most of the people who are responsible for physical labor are modulated "flesh and blood servants", a strange semi-biological semi-mechanical artificial living body. The Amos people who have experienced the "Divine Light Trial" (magic radiation exposure) are generally divided into three categories: "war", "thinking" and "universal use", dealing with combat, scientific research, various cultures, production and finishing.
The Amos who think about the category are generally concentrated in several artificial star fields that are strictly protected, and Emperor Amos himself descends his power to guard it. The Amos who are in the war category and the Amos who are in the universal category have evolved to the point where they can enter and exit the void. Only when they reach this level can they hold citizenship and speak out on various topics. Among them, the three 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.
In other words, it is a large biological warship.
When he knew this, Krell 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 warship under his feet was the body of "Elma". However, soon, he accepted the setting of the mage tower and tower spirit, weapons and weapon spirit. What's so strange about a ship having a ship spirit? Understand it?
What really made Kreller feel uncomfortable was actually the clothes on him: this clothes are actually part of Elma's body, the active substance secreted by the other party in front of him... It is a tool for living, to communicate with him in real time and detecting his physical condition. To be honest, as a young man in his early twenties, while seeing Elma's tall and beautiful human appearance, while wearing such a "clothes", Kreller really felt embarrassed.
But it is obvious that Elma, a friend of Alien International, did not have this consciousness. She answered for granted: "I am a high-level individual with the authority of 'Commander'. I have the authority to enter and exit major confidential facilities. As long as I am willing, 95% of the secrets are not secrets to me."
"However, the abnormal situation of the royal court this time is exactly five percent that I don't know. Going to the upstream database of the star field and forcibly cracking and obtaining information is the last method. Before that, I want to observe the surrounding situation and see if there are any gains."
With a very reasonable logic of action, Krell himself had no intention of objection. In this way, the two of them began to slowly start from Elma's private void anchor point and began to navigate in the star field.
The calm void is like a sea without undercurrents, and the warship is like a giant beast in the sea, swimming slowly.
The star field where Elma is now located is located in a border area where the Blood Battle Star River is more biased. The royal court has not strictly controlled the place, so Elma can secretly prepare for the plan to escape from the control of the royal court and hoard material for it. Of course, despite this, there is also a complete community in this star field, with a large number of Amos living here.
At this moment, most of the civilians in this star field are late at night, but for combat individuals, they do not need to sleep to adjust and rest themselves, so they can see that there are many teams of void warships in the star field patrol and blockade the main roads.
Elma's body is an anti-detection warship that can completely stealth, with a specific style of a fusiform whole and a detection tentacle that can be derived from both sides. Although Elma can start a hidden posture action, this time she showed her complete form in an extremely high-profile manner, swimming in the void in a translucent posture flashing with fluorescence.
Clayle was naturally a little nervous about this, but he knew the reason. As a member of the royal court, Elma naturally knew the various rules and unspoken rules within the royal court. As an individual who held the commander's authority (the peak of the extreme intention), her entry and exit would not be the attention of most patrol teams. She would only be questioned when entering and leaving important facilities, which is a privilege.
In fact, as expected, those patrol spacecraft holding black shells that looked like an inverted iron fist stopped when they noticed Elma's body and sent out a good signal respectfully. The occasionally patrol captain (the larger trapezoidal pyramid spacecraft) just sent an inquiry signal and routine, while Elma did not reply to the former signal, and the latter dealt with it casually, and then, naturally, continued to wander in the void.
"The martial law inside the star field is very serious. Usually, there are some wandering individuals even in the middle of the night. But now, the entire star field and more than a dozen worlds can only see patrol teams and some military staff with authority."
Inside the warship, Elma's human-shaped incarnation expression was serious: "When he confronted the Annihilation Clan on the front line, the frontier star domain was not as martial as it was. I am afraid that only the control during the full-scale war could be compared with Krell. 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 the World-Eater', but things are probably not that simple. What do you think?"
Elma knew very clearly that although his knowledge was broad, it was likely to be limited by the social characteristics of the Amos. Although Krell could not be called a wise man, at least there was another race's perspective and light point to learn from.
"My opinion." After hearing the inquiry, Kreller paused for a moment. After all, he was also the elite Mycrov who had received the captain's education. He thought for a moment and then replied: "This situation is a bit like the plague that was spreading by cultists during the 'crazy dragon disaster' back then. Martial law was imposed within the empire. Every household must be independent. Only knights and patrols patrol to avoid the spread of the plague."
"Of course, it's a bit like some extremely powerful monster or cultists appeared. They lurked into the city, so they had to be martial law and find the other party's traces."
When he said this, Krell couldn't help but feel absurd in his heart. What kind of plague can spread across the void? What monsters can make the entire huge galaxy empire martial law?
And it's not one, but two. The Takur Annihilation Clan has been like this recently. Two huge xenophobic void forces are so ready. How can a mere plague and monsters do this?
It's impossible.
The star field where Elma is located is not big, and the void situation is not complicated. Soon, most areas were detected, and there was no abnormality except martial law. The internal news and various notifications of the royal court were considered normal.
At this point, Krell did feel the specialness of Elma. This Amos man had suspicion and action ability far beyond the ordinary Amos man. She only relied on a little metaphysical "feeling" and "guessment" to find some wrongs in the seemingly normal star domain.
"The Xinba family lives in this void settlement, but the fluctuations in time show that the settlement has been in and out for more than ten days and nights."
Inside the spacecraft, Elma thoughtfully restored the trajectory of the time and space on the light curtain. She imitated the serious Kreller on the side, bit her lip and said softly: "I suspect something might have happened to the Xinba family... I must find an opportunity to see what happened inside this settlement."
"Sneak into the exploration, just leave it to me. Your goal is too big to stay around this area for a long time."
At this moment, Krell also knew that it was time for him to perform. The black-haired young man stood up. He pressed his hand straight on the black and golden belt around his waist and whispered: "Crisis handling system, start!"
"Load the extraordinary plugin Shadow Gold!"
【Closed areyouready?】
"Putting armor!"
The rapid and short communication passed in a moment, accompanied by subtle mechanical vibrations, with the belt around Kreller's waist as the source, large clusters of black dust fog gushed out, surrounded by golden lines, like lightning, completely wrapped Kreller. The next moment, all the dust and golden lightning suddenly contracted, and then turned into a strange full-coverage armor of black and gold, completely wrapped Kreller. You can see that an immortal dim flame was burning on the top of his head and shoulders, and at its core, there were golden sparks flashing.
He is quite handsome, even with the Amos aesthetics. Elma, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but have such a thought flashed through his mind.
[The special installation version of Qiao's system is started... Link to the crisis processing system, and start modular processing... The full state of the extraordinary armored gold flame is turned on]
[Landing, raiding, cutting weeds and roots, we are all in the shadows!]
"Start, 'Shadow Path'!"
Without any hesitation, Krell, who activated the extraordinary armor, immediately used the most core "Shadow Path" among the extraordinary abilities that the armor had! It can be seen that a knife that seemed to appear completely from the shadow suddenly appeared in his hand. Krell did not hesitate and threw the knife in the right direction with the assistance of Elma.
Then you can see a black stream of light flashing away, sank directly into the void settlement not far away.
The path of shadow!
The shadow power obtained from the sixth abyss demon Goliath, combined with the material control ability of the legendary warrior Radcliffe, is powerful and consistent with extraordinary abilities!
[Make a shadow knife and throw it in any direction to form a shadow path. As long as the user is within the range of the shadow path, he can penetrate almost all time and space barriers, energy defense, material walls and stand shields.]
[The results of the 37th experiment on the power of shadows were quite effective, but Goliath looked very unhappy... ‘I’m not here to be an experimental animal!’, what does this sentence mean?]
【Researcher Radcliffe, who did not want to name him】
He nodded slightly to Elma on the side, and Krell ran directly along the Shadow Path. It seemed that a long distance could be crossed in just a moment. Even the detection organs that Elma deliberately prepared did not see how Krell passed through this Shadow Path.
“It’s like a leap!”
At this moment, Krell had entered the interior of the Void Settlements, but Elma's voice could still be heard because the clothes on his body were part of the other party's body... But Krell had no time to care about what Elma said at this moment, because in his spirit, the warning from the crisis handling system was straight and harsh.
[Warning! Abnormal biomass was detected!]
[Warning! Perceived erosion of alien substances!]
[Warning! Large-scale extremely micro-living bodies are approaching!]
What the hell?!
Even though he was mentally prepared for the very dangerous inside the Void Settlement, Krell did not expect the danger to come so quickly and was so unusual. He had just raised his head and glanced at the walls and halls that seemed to be nothing unusual, and was attacked by strange things that were invisible at all!
"Damn it, can you only use this?!"
As a last resort, Krell could only use the second extraordinary ability of the extraordinary armor, Ghost Gold Flame [Shadow Desolation].
According to the previous few activations of the extraordinary armor, Elma and Kreller knew that the Netherworld Flame has four powerful extraordinary abilities, [Shadow Path] [Shadow Barren] [Sunfire Refraction] and [Embers Arrival]
Among them, [Shadow Path] is to move and hide. You can throw it out and move it for a long distance, and throw it under your feet to hide yourself in the shadow. [Sunfire Refraction] can create a small ball of steel mist around you. It is a complete stealth method, which can completely remove all traces such as Kreller's breath, energy fluctuations, etc., and can also turn into a shield in times of crisis to offset and rebound some non-enterprise energy damage.
As for [Embers Arrival], it is a complete life-saving skill, with a very long cooldown time, but the effect is very great. When the equipment is in a fatal danger, the crisis handling system will force the entire power of Shadow Gold and issue a legendary blow. At the same time, whether the equipment is dead or not (it is extremely likely to die on the spot), ** will be burned into ashes. The soul and the core of Shadow Gold will be teleported to aside a part of Shadow Gold fragments cut out in advance, and then regeneration and recovery.
In addition to special skills, armor can also greatly improve the physical fitness and reaction speed of equipment, and there are also various auxiliary combat systems. It can be said to be an all-around amplifier. Even if an old lady in her seventies is equipped with it, she may be able to defeat ordinary extraordinary professions that are not proficient in combat.
[Shadow Barren] is the only attack method of the entire Shadow Gold Flame Armor with 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 steel force in the space. It is the most perfect combat method of attack and defense, except that it cannot be long-range. However, in addition, there is also a disadvantage that is not a disadvantage. Since Shadow Barren is too powerful, it may accidentally injure teammates or absorb teammates' attacks, so it cannot be deployed when there are many friends. Only when infiltrating and being surrounded by many enemies, the user is ready to break through or wipe out witnesses can it maximize its power.
As the shadow was desolate, a dark shadow appeared on the surface of Kreller's body. As soon as it appeared, it immediately made dark golden flames ignite in the seemingly empty space, and continued to spread in all directions. Kreller looked around in shock. Of course, he knew that this was a vision of the invisible existence in the air being eroded by the power of steel, but he had not yet figured out what was attacking him.
"...Krell, go find the...corpse of the Xinba family."
Elma, who witnessed all this in real time with a black-haired young man, first realized that the "universal logistics personnel" living here, the Xinba family, which she is quite familiar with, may have encountered an accident, but sadness and anger cannot make her hesitate for a moment. Elma guided: "The Xinba family is not big. They are a professional logistics family. While living in this void settlement, they are also responsible for maintaining the bodies and machinery of passing patrol personnel and combatants. Most of the time, they should be around the maintenance room on the lower side of the settlement."
"OK."
Clayle naturally had no objection. He raised his head and looked around the hall... I have to say that the Amos's body size is not comparable to that of humans. The other party's ordinary door looked as huge as the Arc de Triomphe in the capital of the Far South Kingdom, and he was like a villain entering the Giant Kingdom. However, with the support of extraordinary armor and the guidance of Elma, he quickly passed through the corridors and came to the surroundings of the maintenance room on the middle and lower level of the Void Base.
Along the way, Krell encountered several invisible and qualitative attacks, but they were all solved by Krell using the shadow desolation. Soon, Krell encountered his first target.
A huge corpse of creature that looks like a snail.
The corpse is forty meters long, twenty-five meters high, and has an astonishingly twenty meters wide. Its main body is a huge alloy metal volute, and the one supporting this metal shell is a carbon fiber soft column that seems to be the bones in front of the creature like a network.
There was no flesh and blood on the corpse, and there was no pus on the ground. The whole corpse was clean. Even if Krell used the shadow to approach the desolate, he did not sense any invisible danger. The corpse was empty, nothing was left, nothing was left.
"What kind of creature is this..."
Krell was naturally surprised. He stared at the corpse that was as huge as a building, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the Amos? Your body is so huge, even the logistics staff have such an amazing body!"
"wrong!"
But Krell heard Elma's solemn voice: "No! The corpse of Simba's family is not like this... What they chose to evolve was the specialized "brain" information processing system evolution! They don't have as much cumbersome as shells. They usually soak in the nutritional solution in the maintenance room to deal with material transportation and maintenance logistics issues!"
"Go and see somewhere else, this may be the bodies of other Amos."
Clayle 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. In just less than ten minutes, he walked all over the entire Void Settlement.
In the process, including the first one, he found five corpses, one with a huge snail shell, one with a strong bone wing, one without a specific image, only a scattered skeleton, and one left only the crystals that should be the crystals of the eyes.
The strangest thing is that the last corpse also grew a huge metal shell, but there were two huge jet ports behind the shell. If nothing wrong, the inside of this jet port should have been linked to two flesh and blood engines so that it can accelerate the advancement.
"...The five corpses are the population of the Xinba family...the eldest son who conducts engineering manufacturing, the mother who transports materials, the second daughter who regulates machinery, the second man who is responsible for observation, and the father who is responsible for maintaining the void warship."
Elma murmured: "Although this corpse is completely different, it leaves obvious characteristics... and these shapes feel very familiar..."
Soon, she suddenly remembered her familiar feeling: "Wait, aren't these shapes special abilities and special individual prototypes evolved from our Amos generations?!"
"This is an attraction mutation!"
Just as Elma, who was walking back and forth around the star fields, recalled where the familiar feeling came from, Kreller suddenly received a prompt that the "crisis handling system" feedbacked an important message.
【Extreme microbial ontology has been successfully identified: molecular-level self-disciplined biological forced evolution (temporary name: extreme virus)】
[Effect: Forced evolution of the host, consumes a lot of energy, 100% unlocks the host potential, and randomly evolves it to a certain level of extreme state]
[Tip: Infection of this evolution by non-extreme level will irreversibly encounter the collapse of the essence of life. In the case of insufficient energy, one hundred billion may evolve into the limit state. In the case of sufficient energy, one million may evolve into the limit state. The loser will consume all the energy that can be consumed, including but not limited to fat, muscle fiber, blood...]
[Final conclusion: Super dangerous extraordinary virus!]
[Suggested handling measures: completely eliminated!]
[Prevention means: Completely isolate the infected substance, put the infected substance into the star, or roast it at high temperatures of more than 12,000 degrees for twenty seconds, destroying its shell and completely inactivate the virus!]
