The first impression the L 'Haronneans had of these metal monsters, the Gorgonian Demons, was that they were ancient weapons that had gone out of control, and one that was technologically advanced. At the same time, they had very distinct characteristics, such as … they had the structural characteristics of a carbon-based lifeform.
Even though the behemoths were made out of alloy, the alloy components still formed distinct muscles, bones, and organs, and every structure had a very logical function. They were also very similar to animals in appearance, with manta rays and giant worms being the distinctive characteristics, and when he walked into the body of one of the behemoths, this strange 'bionic' feeling was even more obvious.
As Hao Ren walked through the passageways inside the Gorgon Lord, he felt as if he was walking inside the body of a wriggling giant creature. Through the gaps between the pipes and cables, he could see a large number of glowing red mechanical devices operating in the cavities, and at the same time, there were splits moving through the transparent pipes. The disturbing mechanical roars sounded like the wriggling organs of the creature, and the flowing grease and electricity in the pipes and cables were the blood and hormones of the creature.
He did not find any spacious corridors prepared for normal movement of people, but only narrow single-person passageways. At the same time, he did not find any cabins or control equipment prepared for humans. Instead, he found a large number of ancient machines that seemed to be operating automatically at first glance.
"All signs point to this thing being completely automatic," the MDT floated beside Hao Ren's head as it examined the energy and information flow in the nearby pipes. "These passageways are probably prepared for technicians to use for maintenance under special circumstances, and other than these technicians, this thing should not be controlled by humans." "That's true.
The Gorgon's Abyss has existed in this world for thousands of years, and it's hard to imagine that every Gorgon Demon has a bunch of pilots hidden inside, and the L 'Haronneans have not discovered it after so long. "Hao Ren nodded as he followed the MDT's directions deeper, and at the same time, he paid attention to the observation windows by the side of the passageway to observe the operation of the complex mechanical structure inside the behemoth's body. There was one observation window every ten meters, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be for technicians to use during maintenance." But these passageways are enough … Since it's for maintenance, then it must be able to connect to any corner of this big guy's body. "
He looked through the small window at the mechanical compartment on the other side of the passageway, and in the compartment, there was a set of complex transmission equipment in operation, and a freshly assembled air-to-surface missile was being sent into the launch window, and below the 'loader' were several turbine-like devices, and the electrical currents they emitted lit up the magical runes nearby, and the runes absorbed the energy to release a massive energy field, and according to the MDT's analysis, it was this energy field that kept the behemoth afloat.
Hao Ren now had the ability to directly incapacitate the Gorgon Lord, and all he needed to do was to cut a hole in the nearby passageway and toss a graviton bomb into any of the ammunition storage, anti-gravity generator or energy core, and that would be enough to deal heavy damage to it, but he had no intention of doing that.
While the mechanical monster was still hurling missiles and bombs at the surface, but with Rheia's divine barrier there, as long as Charlemagne and the rest did not die, they would not be in danger for the time being, and Vivian and Lily could completely protect themselves in this level of battle, and if not for the sake of buying Hao Ren 'research time', the two of them just had to put in a little more effort to take down the Gorgon Lord.
After all … Vivian was able to tear the world apart with her bare hands during the mythological era, and Lily's Doggoblast was even more divine, and that thing's power was no weaker than the Gorgon Lord's main cannon.
So Hao Ren did not have to worry about the battle outside, and what he needed to do now was to gather as much information as he could on the Gorgon Lord before it was destroyed.
"We are now in the middle of this thing, and any further ahead is the 'command module' where all the signals converge," the MDT projected the route map as it pointed out the various signals it had scanned, "Below us is a device connected to the main power line, but it is currently not turned on."
Connected to the main power line, that meant it was a device that consumed a lot of energy, but if it was not turned on in this intense battle … then what was it for?
Hao Ren's curiosity was piqued, and he found the nearest observation window and took it down before poking his head out to look below.
In the mechanical compartment below, there was a large ellipsoidal device, and the device was connected to a large number of pipelines and auxiliary equipment, as faint lights flickered on its surface, and around the device were neat symbols and markings, but they were all unimportant information.
"What is that?" Hao Ren raised an eyebrow as he asked curiously.
The MDT's surface flashed in blue light, "Hold on, analyzing … Based on its internal structure and a few key components, I think it is highly likely to be a warp space generator."
Hao Ren frowned, "A part of the warp engine? That means … these Gorgon Lords have the ability to warp? "
"But this ability is locked," the MDT said, "Because they are now trapped in a very narrow universe, and cannot even leave this planet. Probably to conserve energy, the warp engine and its auxiliary equipment are currently shut down."
Hao Ren suppressed his thoughts as he looked away, "Record the scan results, we will continue forward."
Not long after, he finally reached the destination marked out by the MDT.
"The temperature here is very high …" Standing in front of a hatch, Hao Ren looked around at the glowing alloy cabin and mumbled, "Looks like the control mechanism of the Gorgon Lord requires a high temperature environment to operate … or this thing is the heat generator of the entire machine."
The MDT replied him matter-of-factly, "I'm leaning towards the former, based on our observations, this big guy's technology is very advanced, and should have a matching cooling system, and the only reason for the high temperature here is because it requires it."
Hao Ren nodded as he pulled out the Godslayer, and easily used physical means to crack the locking mechanism of the hatch before him.
A not very wide hemispherical cabin appeared before him.
Just as expected, there was no pilot's seat or control terminal in the hemispherical cabin. Its internal structure was extremely simple. The inverted hemispherical cabin walls were distributed with several protruding structures, and the tip of each protruding structure projected the scene of the battlefield outside. In the center of the cabin was a small slightly sunken ground, and in the air, there was an egg-like silver-white metal object that was about the height of a person.
Hao Ren curiously approached the metallic object, and he circled around it before noticing a few strings of characters on one side of the metallic egg, and after translation, it was a short message including a serial number:
E326-K7-75, Fist of Gorgon Army, Immortal Heroes, Eli Gneer.
You have returned from hell, may the stars be with you, as you are with me, and I am with you — Beloved, Will Croce.
The MDT circled the few strings of characters twice, "The front part looks like the serial number, affiliation, honorary title, and name, but the last part looks like a message left behind by someone."
Hao Ren did not say a word, but under some kind of intuition, he reached out and touched the surface of the metallic 'egg'.
A soft grinding sound came from the bottom of the egg, and the layer of alloy shell instantly folded and shrunk to a third, revealing the transparent container inside.
There was no Eli Gneer in the container, only a mass of chaotic darkness, and the darkness was like thick ink wriggling in the unknown liquid in the container, looking blind and disorderly.
Then, the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest disturbed the 'dark matter'.
Hao Ren thought he heard a piercing scream, but in fact he did not hear anything. He only saw the dark matter suddenly start to sway and shrink, like an electrified muscle twisting into all sorts of indescribable postures, and then a series of roars came from all directions, and the already vibrating behemoth's insides were suddenly turned upside down, and everywhere was shaking as ear-piercing explosions rang out everywhere, and shrill alarms rang through every passageway and mechanical compartment!
The MDT issued a shrill alarm, "Energy readings are rising everywhere! This big guy is going to self-destruct! "
"Holy moly, why is this guy so angry?" Hao Ren's hair stood on end. "Just one look and he's going to explode?!"
"Can you stop fooling around at this critical moment?" The MDT's surface glowed blue. "Stand still and don't move, we're teleporting out —"
"Wait! We can't just leave like this! " In the midst of the chaos, Hao Ren shouted. "Hurry up and find something we can take out — information recording device, hurry up and find something that can record data and bring it out!"
The MDT quickly circled the entire cabin and came back, smashing the brick on Hao Ren's head. "What the f * ck are you looking for? Even if this thing in front of you is not a memory, it's the most important thing! Just take it away — Holy moly, holy moly, hurry up! It's going to explode, explode, explode … "
Hao Ren raised his hand and put the metal 'egg' into his Dimensional Pocket. At the same time, he shouted, "Are you kidding me? There's nothing in this world that can blow me up —"
Before his voice trailed off, the MDT had already activated a teleportation, and in a flash of white light, the man and the brick were gone.
And in the blink of an eye, the Gorgon Lord was engulfed by the flames of self-destruction.
Just like what Hao Ren had said, a big bomb does not die from a small bomb.
