I had always been curious as to how the prison built by the Xiling Empire would look like. For such a powerful civilization, the prisoners of war they locked up would definitely not be ordinary characters. They might even be dangerous existences that the powerful Shiring Apostles would not be able to defeat on their own. To keep such an unstable element in their cells, I believe I don't need to say it out loud. Thus, in my imagination, this prison that Sandora described as the most unbreakable apart from the Prison of the Gods would definitely be filled with a terrifying number of elite Schilling Sentinels. It would also be filled with powerful warning cannons, and the interior would be covered with shockingly thick armor. And in between all of these, the most dangerous criminals in the entire universe would be locked up …
In conclusion, this prison should be a terrifying place from the inside out, from head to toe.
But I was wrong …
When I passed through the teleportation door on the outer wall of the prison and entered this mysterious prison, all I saw was a vast expanse of white fog.
"This is the interior of the Schilling Prison?"
Looking at the boundless fog around me, I expressed my astonishment.
"What did you think this place would look like?"
Sandora's voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw her floating sideways from my side.
"Don't look so surprised." Sandora adjusted her posture so that her head was facing upwards and her feet were facing downwards like mine. "There's no distinction between up and down, left and right in this space. There's also no concept of height or front or back. When you teleport in, your position and posture are completely random. It's even possible for you to enter upside down."
Shallow Shallow's giggling voice came from not far away. "It's just like space in space? Haha, this is so fun! "
I looked towards the source of the voice and saw Shallow Shallow slowly floating towards me in the boundless fog with a standard doggy paddle.
… This lass only knew this one posture after learning how to swim for four years …
But then again, Shallow Shallow's rather unsightly swimming posture was quite cute in my eyes …
"You can say that. Of course, this isn't space but an independent space filled with abnormal laws. After all, no matter how tight the security is, there's always the possibility of a powerful force breaking through it. Compared to the conventional way of guarding a prison that's full of variables, it's much easier to use an independent space to lock up prisoners."
I had to admit that in terms of reliability, such a spatial cage was far more reliable than any security force of any scale. Looking at the vast expanse of white 'mist' around us, there was no doubt that without any guidance, any creature that recklessly intruded would be forever lost in this space. I had no idea if there were any other traps hidden in this' lost space ', but when I thought of a certain irascible loli's nature, I felt that it would be an insult to Bubble's intelligence if she didn't place hundreds of traps in this place.
We stood in this empty space for about ten seconds until a gentle female voice suddenly echoed in the space around us. "Authorization verified. Chaos barrier removed."
The omnipresent white fog disappeared like a sudden awakening from a dream. We found ourselves in a circular hall. A ball of light that was about a meter in diameter was quietly floating in the middle of the hall. Strings of complicated data flowed between the ball of light and the ground, and a low but gentle buzzing sound filled the entire circular hall.
"Hello everyone, I am God," the ball of light said in a mechanical voice.
We were speechless.
Pandora took a few steps forward, before leaping up and kicking sideways.
The entire space reverberated with a soul-stirring "Bang — —"
I thought that the ball of light didn't have a physical body.
"… Hiss … Hello, leaders, I am the main control computer of this prison … Hiss …" The ball of light sucked in a cold breath as it spoke in a trembling tone. Although it was still the same androgynous voice, it sounded much more emotional this time.
I looked curiously at Sandora, who let out a long sigh. "Ever since it came to Qidian, this computer has changed itself into this."
I was embarrassed, but very powerful.
"Send us to the area where Valimasas is being held." I tried my best to ignore the 'limitless' atmosphere that this unique computer had created around us, and spoke as calmly as I could.
Pandora's kick earlier was very effective. This time, the ball of light didn't do anything funny, but obediently carried out the order. "Understood. Connect to D-15E Space Cage."
Before I could react, the scene in front of me changed. The hall and the computer that was addicted to cosplaying as God had disappeared. In front of us was a huge demon suspended in midair, bound by dozens of blue energy chains. Through some simple data, I knew that the energy chains didn't have any actual strength, but they had a strong suppressive effect. The evil energy in Valimasas' body had been suppressed to the lowest level of a demon's life force under the effect of the chains. Now, this robust monster didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.
Under normal circumstances, prisoners imprisoned in the Space Cage did not need any form of shackles. This Space Nesting System, which was so complicated that it could only be activated by the main control computer, was the most reliable shackle. But now, Vali Masasi was shackled with so many chains. Wasn't it a bit wasteful?
Could it be that because he was the only prisoner in the entire prison, a certain extremely bored main control computer had to use this method to have some fun? Could it be that before we arrived, this unlucky old demon had already been tortured by a certain computer over and over again? Could it be that the ball of light earlier was actually a fellow with a personality as vile as Lin Xue?
Of course, that couldn't be the case. Soon, I understood why Valimasas was bound by so many energy shackles in this prison that was completely impossible to escape from. Beside this six-meter-tall demon, a few inconspicuous figures were busy working. When I got closer, I saw that it was a small team of Schilling technicians who were obviously in a state of excitement.
"What are you doing?" I grabbed a technician who was completely immersed in his work.
"Ah! It's His Majesty the Emperor! " The technician was slightly displeased at the sudden interruption of his work. But after seeing the large group of leaders behind him, his displeasure immediately turned into excitement and agitation. "You really came to inspect our research! This really makes me excited! I must admit that our research has not made the greatest progress, but just what we have now is already enough to be called a great victory — a scientific victory! You should take a look at this … "
The mad scientist … cough cough, we passionate scientists were completely immersed in our own world and didn't notice the astonishment and bewilderment on my current expression. This expression was as though a beggar who was suddenly given a copy of The Buddha's Palm by a dirty old beggar covered in flies and entrusted with the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace.
"Necromancy, demonic limbs, and silicon-based life technology …" The excited scientist danced around as he said, "So many messy things can actually fuse together so perfectly. The body and most of the internal organs of this test subject have been turned into a half-dead state by necromancy, allowing them to perfectly fuse with the mechanical components without any rejection. The equipment and limbs from the Schilling War Puppets are powered by demonic energy, allowing this test subject to have the ability to release magic and fire cannons at the same time without being torn apart by the energy shockwaves. And this …"
As the minor scientist spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a tubular object installed on Valimasas' thigh. Then, he exerted force and actually pulled this sturdy device off the old demon's body!
"Look, this is an energy probe. The life forms of the demons are really strange. They use the extremely corrosive shadow energy, but their bodies are able to resist this kind of corrosion. This energy probe was used by the Fallen Apostles to absorb the shadow energy from the bodies of the demons and provide energy for their entire mechanical body. I have never seen it before …"
"Stop!" I shouted decisively, temporarily suppressing the excited mad scientist. Then, I tried my best to put on a friendly expression. "Your research is very meaningful, but I have some questions to ask this demon, so …"
"Of course, your will is the only meaning of our lives!" The other party didn't seem to be unhappy that his work had been stopped. Instead, he revealed a rather happy expression because his work had been affirmed. Then, he casually inserted the metal tube that seemed to be tens of centimeters long into Valimasas' thigh.
"Pfft!" Green blood spurted out for half a meter.
… As expected, mad scientists were the scariest living beings.
"Kill me …"
After the few respectable but even scarier scientists finally disappeared in the light of teleportation, Valimasas' half-dead voice rang out beside me.
