As the top civilization, Schilling and the Star Sector had their own research and countermeasures against the Chaos Abyss. Not only did they fight against the various disasters that the Chaos Abyss produced, but they also analyzed the true form of the Chaos Abyss: passing through the Gate of the Chaos Abyss.
The Deep Submergence Project of the old Empire wasn't the first project to pass through the Gate of the Chaos Abyss. It was just the furthest and craziest project. Before the Deep Submergence Project, the old Empire had already sent probes and unmanned outposts to the Gate of the Chaos Abyss. Of course, there were also a few projects that involved people to "pass through" the Gate of the Chaos Abyss. However, the information on those projects was now missing. We still didn't know how the old Empire allowed people to safely carry out missions on the other side of the Gate of the Chaos Abyss. It was also possible that all such projects had failed. In any case, the records from back then were now untraceable.
Compared to the Empire, the Protoss's exploration of the Gate of the Chaos Abyss began much earlier and was more comprehensive. They used the special advantages of their race to explore and seal the Gate of the Chaos Abyss. (Of course, this was a method that the Empire couldn't replicate. The personal qualities of these rich second-generation heirs were too abnormal …) Of course, even for the Protoss, this was the most dangerous project. Icetis admitted that if her father found out that she had jumped in with me today, she would at least be beaten up. It was even possible that her father would chase her all over the world …
"That's why I'm going all out today. You have to be grateful," Icetis said arrogantly on the way to the work airship.
Alright, I knew that she was just trying to lighten the mood. After all, we had also sensed that there was a rather powerful gathering of energy in front of us. Such a powerful gathering of energy couldn't have been a spontaneous phenomenon in the Abyss. Something from the prime material realm had intruded into our laboratory, and it was highly likely that it was these things that had destroyed the experiment and trapped our engineering team. In the Chaos Abyss, being able to see something from the prime material plane was something to be happy about. However, this situation was an exception.
"I hope it's not those crazy bastards. They've already caused enough trouble." Sandora bit her lip with a rather unsightly expression. I knew exactly what she was referring to. Only the Fallen Apostle would be able to appear alive in the Chaos Abyss and destroy the Empire Project. And that powerful energy reaction … Although it wasn't very clear due to the Chaos Abyss, it definitely had the characteristics of psionic energy.
"I'm afraid you guessed it right … Look in front!" Icetis suddenly said and pulled us to a stop.
As if it had suddenly appeared, a gigantic black shadow appeared a few thousand meters in front of us, like a strange giant beast that had appeared out of the night sky. One of the unassuming silhouettes was the engineering ship that we had lost contact with. It didn't seem to be in a good condition. Although its shield was still there, it was at least half as dim as it was when we had first set off. Strange black patterns floated on the outer layer of the shield, a sign that it had been corrupted by the Chaos Abyss. Its shield system was currently being refreshed, but it seemed like it couldn't keep up with the rate of corruption. There were two obvious tear marks on the rear armor of the engineering ship, which should be the location of the escape tower — I still remembered Big Beardy's report mentioning that the escape tower of the engineering ship had suddenly disintegrated.
The shield was still there, but the escape tower had disintegrated. It was truly an abnormal situation.
Far away from our engineering ship was a black battleship that was shrouded in a deep mist. It was only about a dozen kilometers away from our engineering ship (this number might not be accurate. In the environment of the Chaos Abyss, it seemed like the spirit detection technique that we were so proud of had lost its accuracy. It felt a little illusory). From its shape, it was a battleship that we had never seen before. However, the black paint on it was so familiar — it was the battleship of the Fallen Apostle.
Just as the aura of the Chaos Abyss had interfered with our senses, it didn't seem like the other party had discovered us. Amidst the chaotic background noise, three small figures couldn't be identified by the ship's radar at all. However, as we gradually approached the other party, Sandora still carefully disguised herself. She released the aura of the Chaos Abyss in her body and synchronized us with the surrounding environment. In this state, she appeared to be an amalgamation of the Chaos Abyss on most energy detection radars. Tawil had conducted a series of research based on the various special abilities of the Empire's leaders — Sandora had the ability to completely conceal her aura in the Chaos Abyss.
Before today, we really hadn't thought of the use of Sandora's ability …
"It doesn't look like a battleship." Sandora observed the Fallen Apostle's spaceship that was shrouded in mist. The latter was quietly confronting the engineering ship, but we didn't notice any obvious weapon system. It looked … like a spaceship used for scientific research. "It's a very strange way of submerging. It seems like the Fallen Apostles have developed their own technology tree in the field of deep diving."
"Is it that layer of mist?" Icetis frowned. "It has the scent of the Chaos Abyss. They have highly Abyssal their spaceship, using camouflage to resist the corrosion. It's a method of quenching thirst with poison. I bet that the Abyss Shield of this spaceship will slowly destroy their own structure."
"There's no response from the engineering ship. It seems like they have shut off the communication channel and spiritual connection from the inside." Sandora's gaze shifted from the mysterious Fallen Apostle spaceship to our engineering ship. "However, I can feel that it hasn't been corroded by the Chaos Abyss. Should we get rid of the Fallen Apostle's ship first? Or should we capture it? "
"I choose the second option." I stretched my body. "Tawil will definitely like this specimen. I will go up and start the fight. Sandora, pay attention to the control. Icetis, heal me. I will count to three, two, one. Buff … activate!"
As soon as I said that, Sandora and Icetis gave me a kick at the same time. "Hurry up and go up!"
I left the cover of Sandora's Chaos Abyss and swaggered towards the Fallen Apostle's spaceship. It was obvious that I was an extra-large target. In the polluted environment, a Void 'clean zone' had suddenly appeared. It was as dazzling as Anveena in the dark night. The Fallen Apostle's spaceship immediately reacted as we had expected. It adjusted its attitude, turned around and ran. This was very normal. That thing didn't look like a main battle spaceship. Naturally, it wouldn't stay behind and wait for death. Furthermore, I felt that my image should be quite well-known among the Fallen Apostles. This was especially so for my dark and swarthy post-modern appearance that didn't have any eyes or nose. Basically, those who saw it once would be unable to forget it for the rest of their lives. Those who were cowardly would even cry in their dreams. The Fallen Apostles had been fortunate enough to get rid of a few of their spaceships while I was in my Void form on the battlefield. They knew that even an Eternal-tier colossus wouldn't be able to retaliate against a fully transformed Void Creature.
Just as the other party turned around to escape, Icetis also rushed out from her hiding spot. She raised the Holy Scripture in her hand high up. The wings on her back were spread out to their fullest under the radiance of the Holy Light. Her ankle-length silver-white hair seemed to be plated with a layer of flowing light. It danced without any wind. As her hair fluttered and the Holy Light filled the air, Icetis was so pure that it was impossible to look at her directly. Even if it was out of my conscience, I had to admit that she was extremely beautiful. Then, this pure and holy female rogue swung her arms and threw the Holy Scripture out. It smashed right into the black spaceship's engine.
That was my purpose in coming out. I wanted the black spaceship to escape and expose the location of the propulsion system. Then, Icetis would destroy its engine violently. Sandora, on the other hand, would remain hidden in the dark. If the Fallen Apostle wanted to detonate his spaceship, she would use a mental attack to kill or enslave all the crew members inside. This was the plan that the three of us had come up with in a short period of time. The brick that Icetis threw out was the most crucial step.
To capture a spaceship, the most effective method was to destroy its engine. However, when faced with a spaceship model that had never been seen before, it was impossible to determine where the weak point of its engine was, especially when it was an engine made by Schilling Technology. This kind of engine mostly produced a propulsion effect by modifying the constants of space in a certain area. Therefore, it could be installed almost anywhere in the spaceship. The only requirement was that it had to be placed in the outer layer because its energy radiation was too strong. It would affect the stability of the core equipment. As an engineering spaceship that worked in a special environment, not only did this black spaceship have a special propulsion design, it had also specially hidden its propulsion system. Sandora had no way of determining where its propulsion system was located through experience. However, this was not a problem. As long as the black spaceship was activated, its propulsion system would definitely have a flow of energy. No matter how deep that thing was hidden, it would not be able to escape the energy perception of Icetis. Furthermore, thanks to the environment of the Abyss, in this kind of place, even the spaceships of the Empire could only use the primitive continuous propulsion system. In a situation where they could not jump through space, the Fallen Apostle's spaceship would not be able to escape Icetis's 100% accurate brick. With the support of the Holy Light, I even suspected that that thing could fly at the speed of light …
The shining Holy Grimoire smashed through the Abyssal Mist surrounding the black spaceship. Then, it smashed directly into the exposed energy supply pipe of the engine. The shield and armor that could withstand powerful attacks collapsed in the face of Icetis's violent attack. The back half of the black spaceship exploded with a series of huge explosions. Broken metal components and large pieces of wreckage scattered in all directions like fireworks. Icetis's Holy Brick was extremely powerful. I had personally seen this thing smash through the armor of an expeditionary class. This little engineering spaceship was only one-tenth the size of an expeditionary class, and it was killed by Icetis on the spot in anger …
Uh, it seemed that the female pervert had used too much strength … Could the spaceship have been smashed apart by her?!
"Damn it, I might have gone overboard …" Icetis exclaimed in shock. She rushed past me, and the Holy Light on her body exploded once again, protecting the collapsing black spaceship layer by layer. However, it seemed that it was already too late. Anything that was destroyed in the environment of the Abyss would be destroyed much faster than in the physical world. The black spaceship's defense system was no longer complete. The surrounding Abyssal energy surged into the spaceship and destroyed its internal structure. Reality proved that even the Fallen Apostles who were infected by the Abyss would be damaged in the Gate of the Abyss. After all, their bodies and creations were built on the foundation of Order. Sandora also removed her disguise. She didn't have the ability to use Holy Light to protect others like Icetis, but she had the identity of an Abyssal creature. To a certain extent, she could command the secondary Abyss.
Sandora rushed into Icetis's torrent of Holy Light and pierced her black claws into the radiant barrier. The Abyssal energy that had already surged into the black spaceship immediately surged and rushed towards Sandora's giant claws, like a magnet attracting iron filings. Sandora had a disgusted expression on her face. However, she had now become the "mother" of the Abyssal energy that was trapped in the Holy Light environment. Even if she was displeased, she had to continue.
"Ah Jun, if this continues, a new storm will occur!" Sandora's mental link sounded in my mind. "This damned place magnifies all destructive actions. Icetis's brick became the fuse … We have to think of a way to calm the chaos here!"
Everyone knew that my most powerful skill in the Void was a close-range combat technique that was both simple and powerful. It had a wide range of applicability and was full of explosive power. It displayed the aesthetics of violence and simple values. However, after thinking about it, I felt that this skill might not be of use in the current situation … I tried to expand the Void Domain and put the black spaceship that was already half-disintegrated into the Void Domain. This achieved some results: the Abyssal storm was isolated and the speed at which the black spaceship was self-destructing was reduced. However, it was still self-destructing. Under the protection of Icetis's Holy Light, the purification of the Void power, and Sandora's Abyssal Drainage, it was slowly disintegrating itself. I suddenly realized something: the power of the Abyss had already cast "destruction" as a type of attribute into this spaceship. Now, the only goal of its existence was to collapse. "Continuous self-destruction" had already become one of its physical attributes!
The power of the Abyss could do whatever it wanted in its own lair. Without the order of the physical world as a buffer, chaos and destruction were the norm here. The moment a gap appeared in the defense system, the fatal corrosion would seep in through that gap … If that black spaceship had used technology similar to ours, perhaps the situation would have been better. However, the shield it was using to defend against the invasion of the Abyss actually had the same attributes of the Abyss … I didn't really understand the technology tree of the Fallen Apostle, but now it seemed that this shield was accelerating the death of this spaceship.
However, just as I was prepared to let this Fallen Apostle spaceship perish on its own, Icetis suddenly spasmed and charged forward. The Holy Light that emanated from her wings was as dazzling as a new sun. "Damn it, I'm in big trouble. If I don't save this thing today, I'm going to roast my wings for the two of you when I get back!"
I was speechless. "…" Damn it, what a strange way of swearing. Aren't you afraid that Sandora will take it seriously?
In the blink of an eye, Icetis transformed into a ball of pure light and rapidly grew into a huge ball of holy flames. I was a hundred percent sure that I had seen her body transform from a physical body into light. This was truly inconceivable … Sandora instantly pointed at the ball of holy light that Icetis had transformed into and shouted, "Ah, didn't you turn into a bean too?! You were just talking about me a while ago! "
I was once again speechless. Why was this lass still thinking about how she had failed to transform into a Pac-Man and had turned into a bean instead?
"Chen, protect me! Also, take care of your wife! " Icetis' frantic voice sounded through our mental connection. I hurriedly strengthened the stability of the Void Domain and focused my mind to prevent the surrounding Abyssal Storm from getting any closer. At the same time, I glanced at Sandora. "You can start singing 'My Sun' now."
Sandora ignored me. I felt that it was mainly because she was tone-deaf. Otherwise, she would really dare to sing …
The huge ball of holy light had already enveloped the entire black spaceship. The spaceship fragments that were continuously disintegrating were piercing everywhere within the ball of light, leaving behind a black trail of filth. However, compared to the surrounding Holy Light, this bit of filth was almost instantly purified. However, I still shuddered as I looked at it. Just how painful is this? Isn't this the equivalent of countless metal drills piercing everywhere within Icetis's body?
Even though I knew that she was a cold-blooded female gangster, I still felt slightly moved. But then Brendel heard Brendel's arrogant roar from the mental connection. Brendel's roar was even more shocking.
"F * ck! You motherf * cker! You want to compete with me in being more ruthless! I destroyed the Gate of the Abyss that was even bigger than your ancestors back then! Hurry up and scram out of this black lump of metal! Aiyo … You motherf * cker, you're still going at it! You really want to force me to use my ultimate move!? Don't think that I can't do anything to you now that you are shapeless. Have you seen a Holy Storm? Have you seen a Holy Eulogy? In the name of the motherf * cking Holy Light, I will kill you, you son of a b * tch … "
Her roar was heart-stirring and full of energy. I felt that this female gangster would definitely be energetic enough to destroy dozens of Gates of the Abyss. Instantly, the feeling in my heart dissipated. I turned to look at Sandora. The Queen covered her face with her claws and looked like she was about to collapse. She said to me in a trembling voice, "Ah Jun, I don't know this fellow. Really … Why don't we leave?"
"Leave? I have settled it!" Icetis' full of energy suddenly cut into our mental connection. Then, the powerful Holy Light in the surrounding space finally calmed down. In the afterglow of the Holy Light, I saw Sister Bing who had transformed back … Er, she probably wasn't naked at that moment … It was definitely that weird sister's body that was so exaggerated that I was hallucinating!
Alright, I still have to say that when a beautiful girl transforms, the Holy Light and whatnot is too evil. Furthermore, this time, it is the real Holy Light, the real evil …
"I only managed to save a small fragment." Icetis tossed over a small mountain of metal components. This set of components was still surging with scorching Holy Light, preventing the Abyss from further eroding it. Holy Light itself doesn't have any temperature, but its energy reaction was similar to psionic energy. It made me, who was extremely sensitive to all kinds of energy, feel an illusion of heat. This fragment seemed to be a small part of the middle section of the black spaceship. Although it wasn't big, it was more valuable than the other parts of the spaceship. The middle section of a construction spaceship was usually a storage room for sophisticated equipment and samples. I saw that Sandora's eyes had obviously lit up while Icetis was still nagging, "Tsk, how disappointing. There doesn't seem to be anyone inside. I thought that I would be able to capture a few captives. Keep this well and remember to use your Universal Love Fist to purify it. We will have a gift for the bespectacled lady when we get back. "
I stared dumbfoundedly at the energetic Bryndis. I watched as she flew to the engineering ship that was approaching us, raised her fists, and smashed them onto the deck. Then, she opened up a hole on the other deck of the engineering ship, and a bearded man crawled out. He gestured awkwardly to us, and through our mental connection, I heard him explain, "That … Can you tell her that the door is this way?"
