Although Hao Ren did not know if Lockmarton possessed human logic, and he did not know if it had emotions such as fear and remorse that could be described as uncontrollable, there was one thing that Hao Ren was sure of, and that was that it was very surprised by what was happening.
This indestructible prison, which had been continuously corroded and weakened over the past ten thousand years but had never collapsed, had been so easily broken open by it, and this opening even led directly to the outer universe.
When the rift was torn open by the vibration, Lockmarton had already realized that something was wrong and that there was a trap waiting for him. However, the powerful suction of the rift and his momentary shock made it too late for him to correct his mistake. What made it even more difficult for him to correct his mistake was the powerful suction force after the rift opened. It was from the twenty-two large gravitational field generators in the universe. These gravitational field generators were used to capture small celestial bodies moving at high speed in the universe. One could imagine how powerful they were!
Even if Lockmarton had all sorts of magical abilities and powers that defied logic, it would still be difficult for it to break free from the restraints of these engineering devices.
If Geddon had opened a path from the start, or if someone had removed the prison barrier of the Forgotten Abyss beforehand, Lockmarton would never have fallen for it. It would have immediately sensed that it was a trap, and through its demigod intuition, it would have sensed the dangers that lurked everywhere in the outside world. If that was the case, why not just let Lockmarton open the door himself?
All Geddon and Hao Ren did was to unlock the padlock on the door and leave it unlocked.
However, Lockmarton was no fool. It would definitely not cooperate and attack the prison barrier. It had been trapped here for a very, very long time. It had tried to attack the boundary of the Nightmare World countless times, but to no avail. Therefore, it would not foolishly try to break the door unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, it needed external pressure and guidance to make it feel the urge to escape.
The attack on Spiral Hill had worn down its patience. The attacks from the wardens and Hao Ren had worn down its confidence. Most importantly, they had used the power of the goddess of creation to make it feel a sense of danger.
In fact, this sense of danger was not enough to scare Lockmarton. Hao Ren knew this very well. According to his calculations, even if the goddess of creation's power was right in front of it, Lockmarton would only tremble subconsciously. Then, it would be able to detect something and break the trap. However, in Hao Ren's plan, he only needed Lockmarton to tremble. As long as it had the urge to escape, the prison barrier would open. Before it fell into the trap, Lockmarton's demigod warning would not work!
Looking at Lockmarton falling into the spatial crack, the surrounding monsters of Chaos swayed and dissipated like the moon in the water. The Sanctum army on the ground was stunned and silent. The surviving warriors could not believe it. It's over?
Geddon, the Lord of the Mountains, landed shakily on the ground, and the other nine Wardens followed suit. They did not even have the strength to remain standing. Their bodies were riddled with ghastly wounds, and sparks and flames danced within their rocky shells. The explosion at the last moment had exhausted all their strength. Forcefully using an "Outer God's" divine artifact to imitate the goddess of creation's power had caused them to suffer a huge backlash. In fact, if Lockmarton had been the slightest bit alert and retaliated, none of the wardens would have survived.
"It's over?" Geddon raised his head and looked at the sky that was gradually clearing.
A swarm of bats formed in the air and morphed into the form of Vivian. The milky white Light of Order around her was slowly dissipating. It was a sign that the Chaos around her was fading. She looked around before her gaze landed on Hao Ren. "It's over?"
Hao Ren sighed. "Of course not."
He looked at the Sanctum army and the ten wardens who were supporting each other.
"Their battle is over, but for Lockmarton, the real battle has just begun. MDT — "
"Understood."
A beam of light flashed, and Hao Ren disappeared.
In the vast universe, a crack of light suddenly appeared out of thin air, piercing through the darkness of space.
The crack expanded rapidly, and dazzling energy arcs leaped between the cracks. On both sides of the crack, there were all sorts of strange lights and shadows, as though they contained countless profound mysteries. In the blink of an eye, the crack had expanded to a hundred kilometers wide. Then, a chaotic mass of darkness that looked like the graffiti of the craziest artist rushed out of the crack.
After being imprisoned by the goddess of creation for tens of millions of years, and then imprisoned by the wardens and prison system left behind by the goddess for a full ten thousand years, if Lockmarton was a rational mortal, he would have lamented the difficulty of breaking out of the cage, and lamented the fact that he could once again see the bright stars of the outer universe. But at this moment, his first reaction was to retract all his tentacles and use layers of protective power to completely wrap his huge body.
Compared to the First Born that had completely lost its mind, this nightmare tyrant clearly retained a more complete ability to think.
And Lockmarton's reaction was obviously wise, because as it retracted its tentacles, countless stars of light shone from all directions.
Thousands of turrets, trillions of stars — the missile array represented order, the Longsong Cannons represented glory, and within the range of the Star Orbit Cannons, every heretic would deeply understand what it meant by justice descending from the sky, and what it meant by the mighty power of the goddess!
This was what Raven 12345 said to Hao Ren when she was explaining corporate culture. No, the original words were actually a little more violent, but Hao Ren still had the mentality of caring for the healthy growth of minors, so he omitted the profanity in it …
As the space firepower network bloomed with countless brilliance, a silver-white spaceship also emerged from the darkness like a ghost. The psionic crystal at the bow of the spaceship emitted a faint blue light, and a powerful energy gradually gathered on the focusing crystal of the main cannon.
Hao Ren stood on the bridge of the Petrachelys, quietly looking at Lockmarton, who was the focus of all the firepower.
"All units, fire at will."
At that moment, it was like a dancing snake.
All kinds of physical and non-physical artillery and missiles fell on Lockmarton's layers of defense, and the huge lump of meat finally felt an unprecedented threat. It had never felt this level of threat since it was suppressed by the goddess of creation. It frantically released its own mental power, trying to use the ever-successful nightmare to reverse the situation. For countless years, many powerful but mentally weak opponents were defeated by this move, but its mental attack was like a stone in the sea, without any effect.
Because at this moment, the entire space area, except for Hao Ren, was an unmanned turret!
As the artillery fell on its body, Lockmarton realized that it had made a mistake, so the released mental power instantly shrank and turned into a variety of illusory monsters around it. These monsters from the spiritual world quickly took shape in the real world, turning into layers of guards to protect Lockmarton.
And then they were quickly destroyed by the artillery.
"Resistance is beyond calculation," Nolan's mechanical voice appeared in Hao Ren's ear. "At the same time, an unknown and unpredictable structure that cannot be destroyed by conventional firepower has been detected."
Hao Ren looked at all this with a solemn face and whispered, "Nolan, get ready to move."
Lockmarton's defense was still collapsing layer by layer. The Nightmare Legion that it summoned may be an endless army in Collow, but under the vast space firepower, it was just a slightly thicker layer of fog. As the light surged, the fog also dissipated rapidly.
The twisted, absurd, indescribable chaotic body was exposed, and the countless tentacles that formed a protective layer were also exposed.
Physical matter and energy barriers were torn apart by the endless bombardment. Lockmarton's body, which took him ten thousand years to reform, was blown into pieces by the bombardment. A large amount of black matter and indescribable mist were peeled off from his body and further purified by the bombardment.
The various recording devices that Hao Ren left nearby began to run quickly, recording every subtle change in the process of Lockmarton's disintegration.
This was an extremely powerful demigod! This was a demigod who had likely stolen part of the authority of a true god! Every process of disintegrating this demigod was worth recording in detail!
Finally, Lockmarton's black "shell" was dismantled, and a large number of shiny rune structures were exposed inside. The runes were running wildly, but there was no pattern to them.
Under the runes was a layer of pure fog, and behind the fog, there was light.
Under the saturated firepower for several minutes, Lockmarton's form underwent many changes, and layers of strange structures were exposed. But it did not die, and it could even continue to defend in an orderly manner and struggle to escape the core area of the focus of the firepower. Its tenacity had completely exceeded logic!
Finally, almost all of its body structure dissipated, but an indestructible core was exposed. This core was only a few meters in diameter, emitting a faint light, like a hazy moonlight.
The space firepower from all directions encountered obstacles in front of Lockmarton's shimmering core.
The firepower that had always been successful seemed to have lost its effectiveness. More than 90% of the attacks instantly disappeared when they approached the shimmering core. Very few of the attacks penetrated the defense and landed on the core, but they could only produce a small effect, far less than the speed of its recovery.
Conventional firepower could not destroy Lockmarton!
At this moment, Lockmarton also recovered from its passive state. It began to move, quickly leaving the area of the focus of the firepower, and rushed toward a certain direction in the vast space, which was the only place that made it feel "safe."
At this moment, its judgment, its caution, and its paranoia seemed to have all disappeared under the influence of an inexplicable force.
Along the path of its charge, everything collapsed and was obliterated. Various firepower platforms seemed to have lost their judgment due to the influence of the glimmering core, and there were frequent incidents of accidental damage and destruction. A shocking explosion outlined Lockmarton's escape route.
It fell straight into a dark and gloomy whirlpool, completely escaping the net of firepower.
