This … … should be the edge of the defensive perimeter.
The disc-shaped 'Lurker' slowly flew through the void of space before slowly coming to a stop.
Hundreds of kilometers in front of it was a huge black metal island. There were only a dozen 100-meter-wide defensive blocks around the island.
Although the defensive perimeter appeared thin, it was actually quite dense. As long as one opened their eyes, they would be able to see it.
In the void of space 10 metres in front of them, there were many … … detection spheres.
This was very similar to the ones Lin had encountered before. They were only about one centimetre in size. They were scattered all over the void of space and were constantly moving, probing their surroundings.
In the past, even if Lin used something very small, she would still be unable to get past these detection spheres because their scanning ability was quite powerful. But now … … would this Lurker be able to get past them?
Looking at the Star Bus in the distance that was still under attack, Lin felt that she should speed up.
But she still needed to be cautious. First, a small hole opened up on the surface of the Lurker and a stone-like object was thrown out from the hole.
This stone … … flew into the area where the detection spheres were concentrated.
Countless detection spheres flew past the stone, but none of them reacted to the stone. Even when one of them was hit by the stone, it did not move.
… … It seems she succeeded.
Lin's previous disguise was to find a way to disguise herself as something they thought was harmless. But no matter how harmless the object was, once it moved, it would be very suspicious.
If she disguised herself as one of their companions, she would be able to move freely.
But now. Lin already knew. No matter how small the black metal machines were … … with the exception of those controlled by the crystal lizards. These machines were all operated by Brainiacs.
These Brain Spirits might not be the same species as normal Brain Spirits. They might be a 'subspecies' that had been separated from the normal Brain Spirits. Just like the prison guards, their intelligence was relatively low. Normally, they were responsible for repetitive tasks.
The same was true for the brain spirits that controlled the detection spheres. They were similar to prison guards. Lin only needed to use a certain method to make them think that Lin's Lurker was of the same species.
Lin thought. The Lurker began to slowly move forward. This 30-metre-wide disc flew into the area where a large number of detection spheres were located. Many of the detection spheres hit the disc's outer shell, creating a 'pi pi pa pa' sound.
Every time a ball hit the disc, Lin would simulate the sound of it hitting the disc, and at the same time determine how many balls were around.
Although they were knocked around, they didn't have any complaints about the lurker. That was because … of the dream.
As long as they were thought to be things in the dream, they would not be discovered.
As for Lin, she only needed to make the Lurker's outer shell release some … dream energy. And this method of release was to install a special brain inside.
After the previous research on Mechanical Atlan. Lin could use this brain to simulate a feeling of dream energy, although she could distinguish the difference between the brainwaves and real dream energy. However … it seemed that these detection balls were unable to sense anything.
This was because their intelligence was not high, and they could only distinguish objects from the outside world, not objects in the dream world.
Slowly flying through the large number of detection orbs, Lin noticed that a … huge cube had appeared before her.
This cube was about a hundred meters in size, and it was a common warship among black metal. This cube did not move, but Lin felt that it was best not to approach it. The Lurker circled around from a few hundred meters away.
The Lurker itself also had a general concealment ability. It could use methods such as changing color to prevent normal detection methods from seeing it, but Lin still did not know how these large cubes detected it.
However, she could definitely confirm that it had vision.
After circling around the cube … Lin saw the huge target in front of her, the floating island in the void.
There were no defenses around it, and the huge cubes were scattered, so the Lurker easily approached it. When she observed it from a very close distance, Lin noticed that the surface of the island was covered in complex structures, but there did not seem to be any entrances or exits. The Lurker was now flying over the surface of the island, and Lin wanted to find a way in.
If the disguise was successful, Lin could enter the island without any hindrance, and then she would have to find the place where the teleportation energy was stored.
'Bang!'
Just as Lin was thinking this, a pillar of light suddenly gushed out like a fountain in front of her. It shone tens of meters away from the Lurker, and then quickly dissipated …
This … what was going on?
'Bang!' Next to the Lurker, a similar fountain of light gushed out. It was only a few meters away from the Lurker, and although it was in the void, Lin could still feel its scorching heat …
At the same time, she could also hear the sound of it exploding, and it felt quite similar to a real fountain …
'Bang!'
This time, the sound came from below the Lurker. The Lurker instantly moved to the side, dodging the spray of light.
These light balls were very similar to the ones the Black Metal used to attack, but Lin felt that they were not the same type. However, they all had the characteristic of high temperature, and if she was hit …
But why would it do this? Was it attacking something? Or had it discovered Lin? But that did not seem to be the case …
'Bang!'
Just as Lin was thinking, her field of vision was suddenly covered by an intense light.
The Lurker could see the entire surface of the island was emitting a dazzling light. At the same time, countless light balls scattered from the surface of the island like raindrops.
Could this be … Could it have sensed that something had sneaked in, but it was unable to pinpoint its exact location, so it used this kind of large-scale attack?
Due to the size of the island, its attack range instantly enveloped everything around it, and the Lurker had nowhere to run … But Lin noticed that even though the light balls were so dense, there were still many gaps.
Although those gaps were smaller than the Lurker's body size, they had to be … scattered.
'Crack!'
Before it was hit by the countless light balls, the Lurker instantly split into many small pieces. They scattered and hid in the gaps of the light balls, and the light balls flew past them, flying into the void …
As expected, the ability to split was necessary, but so was the body size.
Looking at the large number of light balls scattered into the void like raindrops, the many small pieces once again gathered together to form the Lurker's original appearance.
Only with a large enough body could it do certain things …
Lin had now discovered the entrance to the island. Floating Astronomy.
