The Tower of the Sky was a gigantic building made of advanced composite materials. Its height exceeded the largest building that an ordinary civilization could build. A vertical height of more than thirty kilometers was absolutely shocking for a building. If the builder wasn't a giant but a creature similar in size to a human, then this height would be even more shocking.
Of course, the Xiling Empire had built many gigantic objects. We had built planetary ecological controllers that were several kilometers tall, battleships that were more than ten kilometers long, heavy aircraft carriers that were tens of kilometers long, and even planetary fortresses. There was also an even crazier military product: the Psionic Death Star. Each of these things was more exaggerated than the last, to the point that it was difficult to describe them with size. The last time a Psionic Death Star's coronal mass ejection was more than a thousand kilometers high. However, we had never built a single building that was too exaggerated. There was no need to. For a building on the surface of a planet, a height of dozens of kilometers was unnecessary, and it was a waste of energy. Not only that, it would be vulnerable to heavy fire.
I didn't know why the builders of the Tower of the Sky had built such a gigantic tower, and I didn't know what level of civilization they had developed to. What surprised me was that when Sandora scanned the Tower of the Sky, she sensed an energy barrier inside. The strength of the barrier was strong enough to affect part of Sandora's radar. Of course, for a Schilling Emperor, it would be easy to break through such a barrier. However, Sandora was worried that forcefully breaking through the barrier would activate some sensitive equipment in the Tower of the Sky, so she didn't act rashly.
"There's an entrance at the bottom of the tower, but it seems that we have to deal with it first …" Sandora pointed at the bottom of the tower in the distance. Her words were interrupted by an explosion that was just inches away from us. * Boom! * The explosion stirred up a scorching heat wave that distorted the air in a certain area. However, it was impossible to break through the energy barrier around us. Sona and Sona were protected inside the energy barrier. When they saw the distorted, scorching air around them, their expressions changed. And this was just the beginning. In just one or two seconds, deafening explosions engulfed the space that everyone was in.
"Taking care of some unfriendly guards." Sandora shrugged and looked at the colossi that were rising from the ground in the distance.
When we got close to the Sky Tower, the guard system was activated. Sona and Sona had told us from the beginning that there were dangerous ancient guards here, so we weren't too surprised. However, the design of the ancient guards was quite impressive. They were colossi made of silver-white metal, and their average height was about ten meters. Their bodies were covered in metal rings, or they were made of rings of metal. From head to toe, they were covered in parallel circular folds. This layer of metal was both their skin and their armor. Other than that, we couldn't see any other armor or clothing on them. These silver-white metal colossi didn't have facial features or any sexual characteristics. They only had a thick humanoid structure. Their faces were covered in a smooth trapezoidal mirror that shone brightly under the sunlight. After locking onto us intruders, all the colossi immediately launched a ferocious attack. What surprised me was that they all used long-range attacks. The colossi's hands were some kind of cannon launcher. With the help of the circular metal structure, their entire palms could instantly shrink into their wrists, leaving behind a round black cannon muzzle. The golden-red high-temperature spheres that flew out at high speed would instantly explode when they touched the ground. This attack was extremely fast, almost like a machine gun. In an instant, we were surrounded by a barrage of bullets. As for the power of these golden-red spheres …
Well, we had a group of Commander-tier guys with a combined shield, and Elson, the professional MT, had activated Deflecting Aura. Who knew how powerful these golden-red spheres were? We only knew that there was something special about this plaza, or that the attacks of the colossi could automatically distinguish between friend and foe. Under such a powerful bombardment, not a single crack appeared on the gray stone ground around us.
Since the existence of the Sky Tower itself had already exceeded our expectations, everyone was quite curious about the guard system here. When more than a hundred metal colossi rose from the ground, my sister and I held down Pandora and Visca, who were about to rush out. We wanted to see how strong the guard system was. Sandora activated her backup radar array and began to measure the attack power of each of the metal colossi. She frowned deeply.
"The outer layer of these golden-red light balls is arcane energy, and the core has an unstable mass collapse point. The arcane energy layer is used for area of effect damage, and the mass collapse point at the core is obviously used to destroy physical armor. This kind of ammunition structure … doesn't seem to be used to deal with ordinary intruders. They are more suitable to attack objects equipped with shields and heavy armor, such as … the ground assault vehicles of interstellar civilizations."
Sandora looked up at the colossi. The mindless guards were still unwavering in their saturation bombardment of the intruders. When they realized that their firepower did not achieve the desired effect, they changed their formation. The colossi formed into groups of three, taking turns to cover the front and back. In each group of three, there was a colossus with a slightly special appearance. The smooth trapezoidal metal plate on their faces constantly refreshed with complex magic runes, like a display screen. This kind of colossus was probably an elite unit similar to the squad leader.
I was a little stunned by this point. I looked at Sandora in disbelief. "You said … I can understand the arcane energy layer, but you said that there is a mass collapse point inside these light balls? Such a high-end thing? "
Why did it sound like I had jumped from Middle Earth to Battlestar in an instant?!
"Their attack power is almost equivalent to the elite Empire soldiers. If they have other means of attack, they may even be on par with the basic commanders — not including the situation where the Empire soldiers can summon super dimensional firepower," Sandora said calmly.
Just as I was about to confirm whether Sandora had made a mistake, I finally heard a frantic shout from beside me. "Hey! I said! Now is not the time to discuss the problem calmly! We are being attacked! We are being bombarded by hundreds of ancient colossi! This is a bombardment that can instantly vaporize the entire knight group! Hurry up and think of a way to do something! "
I turned my head and saw Sakina's frantic expression. Sona next to her was looking nervously at the big explosion outside the shield. The shock wave produced by the golden-red arcane energy ball would not produce too much smoke, so she could see more colossi approaching through the distorted air. Although Sona remained silent and calm, her tail was slapping the ground at a rate of three times per second. Sakina was even worse. She had curled her tail up and hugged it in her arms. This was her subconscious habit when she was seriously insecure.
"Woo — at least get rid of the colossi here first, okay?" Sakina's scales were turning green. She said with a bitter face.
Sandora shrugged and gestured that I could let Pandora out. I loosened my grip on her little head. Before the girl rushed out, I said worriedly, "Try to leave one or two intact corpses. We still want to study them."
Pandora paused and nodded aggrievedly. According to her idea, she definitely wanted to cut those colossi into sections, and each section could not exceed 1.2 meters in height. But now it seemed that this idea could only be put aside.
When Pandora and Visca rushed out, it caused a burst of exclamation from the half-dragon girl duo. They might have subconsciously thought that the two short (!) little ones were too dangerous to rush out. It was too dangerous for the little ones to rush out, but they soon remembered that there were examples like Maddy and Lin at the scene, so they calmed down in an instant — until they saw the two short wintermelons facing the swarm of colossi and pulling out two huge cannons of almost the same caliber as their height. I suddenly felt that letting these two little lunatics out was a huge mistake. Did they really have the concept of leaving their corpses intact? Especially when they were facing a group of huge humanoid objects that were more than eight times their height. But it was too late to say anything now: there was a loud roar of cannons coming from outside the shield.
The loud sound of the explosion had swept through the entire area, and there was a distorted halo and the harsh sound of metal tearing everywhere. The combat power of the metal colossi was said to be equal to that of elite soldiers or low-level commanders of the Empire, which was already quite amazing power. But they were very unlucky to have encountered a group of people who could already be classified as outside the standard. The mass-collapse bombs they threw could not break through the already chaotic and indescribable joint shield around us (you can imagine how complex the composition of this shield is. The four major Protoss and all the leaders of Schilling are inside to charge the shield). Naturally, the layer of arcane energy outside the bombs did not play any role. Pandora and Visca's cannons were specially prepared to destroy heavy targets. They were called anti-ship cannons. Small warships could be pierced from head to tail by those cannons without a problem. The colossi exploded one by one under the bombardment of these cannons like flies being swatted. I noticed a detail: when they were attacked, a crystal clear shield would instantly appear on their bodies. Although this shield could not stop the cannons at all, its existence in itself increased the strategic value of these colossi in my mind. Perhaps not only did they possess the offensive capabilities of the Empire's elite soldiers, their defensive capabilities weren't weak either?
Even though these guardians were considered small fries in front of Pandora and the others, they were still very concerned to see a group of ancient colossi that could rival the Empire's soldiers in a place like this.
In less than a minute, the world was quiet again. The colossi were not slow, and they were even as agile as humans, but no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the Pandora sisters' radar. Under the concentrated attack of the two naval cannons and a group of floating cannons that joined the battle later, all the defenders on the square held on for a total of forty-six seconds.
Sekina stared at the potholes in the square after the smoke dissipated. (The potholes were caused by Pandora and Pandora. Although the two sisters had carefully limited the firepower, the resulting explosion still shattered the nearby boulders, and the colossi's attack didn't hurt the square at all. This was really amazing.) After a long while, she finally recovered from the shock. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I reckoned that she had never seen so many explosions appearing around her at the same time in her life. It was already a performance of this girl's strong will that her legs didn't go soft. Little Crow was also frightened. Although the bird's power when she fluttered was definitely not any less than this, she was only a month old after all and had not seen such a big scene. Silly Bird looked around, opened her arms and flapped twice, making a "Quack" sound. Then, she burrowed into her sister's arms.
"Brother, the whole corpse you wanted," Pandora ran over, raised her small hand, and pointed to a place not far away.
I looked up and found that Pandora and Veska had actually remembered to leave a research sample: there was a Colossus that had not been smashed by them, but had been put to the ground. Veska was carrying a huge cannon, using the muzzle as a hammer, and was beating the hapless Colossus that was lying on its back. The colossus obviously had not stopped running. It moved its slightly deformed limbs and tried to stand up again, while Visca used super-fast space jumps to flash around nearby. As long as part of the colossus' body was raised to a height of more than 1.2 meters, the girl immediately smashed the barrel down. The cat-eyed loli, who was wielding the huge barrel, flashed around in mid-air, hitting Jingle Dang, and smashing happily. The air echoed with a burst of loud metal knocking sounds and Visca's cheerful cheers – this naughty child really knew how to play!
The colossus was also very tenacious. Its hands and feet were smashed flat, but it still persisted in trying to stand up. It was not as smart as Uncle B. At least when Uncle B saw Pandora and her sister, his first reaction was to squat down, but this guy still wanted to stand up!
"Okay, okay, calm down for a while." I asked Liliana to fix the colossus firmly to the ground with vines, and reached out to press Visca's little head. The cat-eyed loli was still jumping up under my hand, "Brother, brother, I'll hit it two more times, I'll hit it two more times!"
"If you hit it again, it will be all flat." I gave her a light smack on the head, and the little girl finally calmed down. Sandora squatted down and knocked on the metal statue that was tied up but still struggling angrily. A hollow metal echo came from the place where she knocked.
"It's empty inside." One of Sandora's fingers turned into a blue needle and stabbed into the chest of the metal colossus. She then cut it vertically, cutting off the metal ring structure on the colossus' body, forming a one-foot-long crack. "It's a very strong shell, the strength is comparable to the armor plate of a starship, and it has a charging structure. Inside … it's like this. "
She tore open the strong metal shell with her bare hands. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of alloy tearing, the chest of the colossus was cut open, revealing the hollow inside. There were no mechanical structures in sight, nor were there any flesh, internal organs or other similar organs. The interior of the colossus was empty, and there was only a halo of constantly changing colors flowing in the hollow like water. This halo had a texture that was almost palpable, and contained an extremely powerful energy reaction. I felt that it was similar to the energy reaction on Raven's body. Of course, it was just that the "mysterious" nature of this energy gave people a similar feeling. The colossus didn't have any psionic energy reaction, it seemed to be powered by arcane magic.
Even though its body was cut open, the vitality of the colossus didn't weaken at all. It was still violently shaking, and the crack on its chest was slowly closing up. This thing actually had a very strong self-regenerating ability.
"Fortunately, it was us. If the colossus had fought against the same number of Empire soldiers, then it would have been a tough battle." Sandora couldn't help but say after seeing that the colossus had such a high self-regenerating ability.
Of course, this little bit of self-regenerating ability couldn't keep up with Sandora's dissection speed. Soon, the colossus' weapon was displayed in front of us. Sandora had cut off one of its arms, cutting off the structure that could shrink into the wrist and form a cannon. What appeared in front of us were complex runes and energy arrays, as well as a circular crystal structure. However, even though there was no lack of knowledgeable people here, and the technology required for this thing in front of us wasn't low (it wasn't hard to imagine such a high combat power), no one could tell how it was powered.
There was no one in the Empire's mystical side. Furthermore, Icetis didn't seem to be an expert in this field either.
Eh, wait a minute, it seems that the mystical side isn't completely empty, I seem to have one with me all the time!
"Alaya, what's the principle behind this … Eh, why is this fellow asleep again!" I called out to a certain sleepy angel in my mental world, but the only response I got was a gentle snoring sound. I focused my mental power and discovered that a certain silly cat was currently hugging little Beautiful Crystal and sleeping soundly. I had no choice but to increase the intensity of my mental call. "Alaya, sleepy, lazy cat, hurry up and wake up! You've been sleeping for almost twenty hours already, and you still haven't slept enough!? "
After calling out to her for a long time, I finally heard Alaya's lazy and soft moans in my mind. It wasn't easy to wake my angel sister up from her sleep, but she finally woke up. I had everyone move aside, and in the next second, Holy Light gathered in the empty space in front of everyone. The Holy Light swiftly took form and transformed into a pure, snow-white figure. Alaya was wearing a long white dress and was barefooted. She landed lightly on the ground and stretched her body. During this process, she slapped away Jingle, who had come over to her for some unknown reason. Alaya then opened her eyes and looked around at everyone with confusion in her golden pupils.
"Wow! What's this!? "Sayana finally exclaimed in surprise.
I thought for a moment and explained, "Do you still remember little Beautiful Crystal? This is little Beautiful Crystal's mother — just understand it that way, or else it would be too complicated to explain. "
Sona looked at me strangely and whispered, "Do you have the habit of keeping your wife and child inside your body?"
I replied, "… Let's talk about something lighter."
Alaya blinked in confusion. Her golden eyes finally landed on the metal colossus that was making clanking noises next to her, and she furrowed her eyebrows.
As though she had recalled something, she whispered uncertainly, "Gundam colossus?"
