In the ancient star desert, somewhere in the barren cosmic belt, there is a cloud magnet star.

This is one of the church settlements of the Mechanicus. The earth is yellow and black. Heavy bases with Mechanicum style are rooted in the surface and arranged neatly, forming a ring-shaped industrial city. Surrounded by open-pit mines, there are countless hanging

Large industrial cranes. The city streets extend in all directions, and are all flattened gray roads. Groups of transport vehicles roar past, passing by pedestrians wearing heavy power armor on both sides of the street.

In the center of the ring city is a mountain peak that rises from the ground. It is cut off in the middle and turned into a platform. There is a community of mechanical temples, and a floating island floats directly above it, emitting soft artificial light.

The Cult of Mechanicus has many believers, many internal factions, loose management, and is also wandering. Generally, with the high priests and various bishops as the core, a group of believers from different factions are gathered to form a fleet to search for planets in the universe and continue to migrate.

The goal is to excavate the planet's minerals and underground mechanical debris, hoard or sell them, so most of the planets occupied by the Mechanicus are just temporary strongholds, a bit like a wandering sect.

There are not many fixed strongholds of the Mechanicum. Some are branches of different factions, some are long-term settlement places for believers like Yun Magnet Star, and are holy places recognized by all believers.

But now, the heavily armored fleets of the three major civilizations are hovering in the blue-black sky of Yun Magnet. However, the believers on the surface are not surprised. They occasionally look up and glance down, then lower their heads and continue to do what they are supposed to do.

The three major civilizations have already said hello to the Mechanicus. This kind of loose religious organization has always been difficult to manage. The three major civilizations do not trust the Mechanicus' ability to execute orders, so they simply dispatched fleets to station them and treat them as

Trap node.

At this moment, on the open-air platform at the top of the Mechanical Temple, the great priest wearing bishop armor looked up at the fleet in the sky and whispered to himself.

Seeing this, the priest next to him stepped forward and asked: "Great Priest, are you worried about the fleets of the three major civilizations?"

The high priest shook his head: "We are just a folk association, abiding by laws and regulations, and have little interaction with the three major civilizations. They will not do anything to us. I am just glad that the three major civilizations are here."

"Happy?"

"Yes, since the outbreak of the intelligent plague, the number of fanatics in the sect has increased day by day. They not only study the virtual rebellion virus privately, but even want to spread it. This goes against the original intention of the Mechanicum's neutrality. Their twisted beliefs will bring harm to the sect.

Disaster, now the three major civilization fleets have arrived, indirectly suppressing those fanatics." The great priest murmured.

Looking back now, he still felt a little heavy in his heart.

After the three major civilizations developed the three-piece antivirus suite, some fanatics even took the banner of "promoting divine enlightenment" and wanted to improve the virus and crack the three-piece antivirus suite, so as to continue to maintain the intelligent plague. They insisted that this was

A great intelligent revolution.

So he had no choice but to dispatch a protective regiment and imprison these people, but this trend of thought remained and was still spreading in this settlement.

"Well, maybe." The priest paused and said doubtfully: "I still don't understand why the three major civilizations temporarily expropriated our settlement."

"It seems to be about the actions of the intelligent plague. I'm not particularly sure..." The high priest shook his head.

Before he could finish his words, the armor's built-in radar suddenly reacted.

"Anomalies in the planet's magnetic field were detected, causing eddy currents. The coordinates..."

The high priest was stunned, and turned his head together with his companions next to him, looking in the direction of the magnetic field vortex.

The magnetic field of Yun Magnetar is very special. The armor of the Mechanicus believers here has special monitors for the magnetic field. At this time, everyone heard the radar report, and pedestrians on the street stopped one after another and looked in the same direction.

Everyone switched to the electromagnetic induction vision, and the flow of the magnetic field was clearly visible. In the distant sky, the electromagnetic field seemed to have formed a tornado, and bright arcs were born out of thin air, rapidly forming an energy field.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Rumble——

I saw dazzling meteors flying out from the three major civilization fleets in outer space, falling rapidly towards the direction of the electromagnetic field vortex.

Although these meteors are not big in size, they all emit astonishing energy fluctuations, dragging out dazzling electric light trails that linger in the retina for a long time, creating a roar of thunder, as if the sky is collapsing.

"what is that?!"

Including the high priest, the Mechanicum believers in Yunmagnetic Star were all shocked and confused.

At this moment, this batch of meteors had reached the position of the electromagnetic field vortex, and they all stopped, dissipating their fire, revealing the appearance of mechanical bodies, all of which were the master clones of various Transcendent A Grade mechanics.

Manison, the leader, moved the fastest. He raised his eyes and glared, and the electromagnetic vortex stopped for a moment. Then he raised his hand and grabbed it. The arc field in the center was captured by him from a distance, and all of it was submerged into a head-sized miniature.

in a triangular container.

The next moment, the abnormal electromagnetic vortex phenomenon disappeared, as if the wind and rain had stopped, and the sky was clear, as if the electromagnetic tornado just now was just an illusion.

"Those are the master clones of Transcendent A Grade Mechanics?!"

Seeing this scene, even though they didn't know what happened, the Mechanicum believers instantly became excited.

In their eyes, the appearance of so many Transcendent A Grade mechanics is no less than the arrival of gods.

However, before they could be surprised, the situation on the field changed drastically again.

I saw other Transcendent A Grade Dominator clones that were one step behind, taking action against Manison at the same time, raising their hands and stabbing each other in the back.

Bang bang bang!!

The light exploded in mid-air, shining in the eyes of countless Mechanicus followers.

The next second, Manison's master clone flew out of the explosion, and was surrounded by everyone, confronting each other.

Seeing this, a look of surprise and astonishment flashed through the eyes of each believer.

Are these Transcendent A Grade mechanics going to fight here? Then aren’t we involved in a “war of gods”?!

…

Time goes back ten seconds.

Among the three major civilized fleets in the outer space of Yun Magnet Star, there are mechanical troops of different mechanics suspended, and some of the mechanical troops guard their respective master clones.

The moment the core of the virus broke away from the quantum network, everyone's dominant consciousness chased after it, and the eyes of a mechanical body suddenly lit up.

"Target locked!"

As soon as Han Xiao arrived, the sound of the detection radar sounded in his ears.

At the same time, a black shadow fell rapidly not far away. It was Manison's clone, leading the way towards the entity at the core of the virus.

"Old guy is so fast!"

This thought flashed through his mind. Han Xiao was about to use skills, but found that flash abilities such as void jump were all unusable.

His eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood something. Without any delay, he immediately fell to the ground, followed by a series of meteors, all of which were clones or troops of other people.

boom!

The group of people passed through the atmosphere back and forth, flying at high speed and creating a coat of flames.

Han Xiao stared closely at the target, the electromagnetic vortex rapidly amplified in his sight, and the distance was shortened in an instant.

The core of the virus had just left the quantum network and was inducing a magnetic field to gather electromagnetic energy to shape its body. At this time, it found a group of Transcendent A Grade master clones approaching. It was about to give up its materialization and escape into the quantum network's field of vision again.

However, in an instant, Manison's eyes erupted with intense lightning, and he activated [Supreme Virtuality] first!

Buzz!!

The virtual soul at the core of the virus was instantly suppressed and unable to break away from its incomplete body.

Manison moved smoothly without any pause. He quickly took out a special containment device and sucked the virus core in.

This kind of container is specially designed to specifically contain the ability of the virus core and can achieve perfect containment. As long as it is caught, the virus core will never be able to escape.

"Old Maitou succeeded!"

Han Xiao's eyes shrank.

But at the next moment, other master clones followed closely and launched attacks at the same time, with highly concentrated beams of light grazing past his body and heading straight for Manison's back.

Bang bang bang bang!

Manison had already expected that layers of shields appeared, blocking everyone's concentrated fire, and a violent explosion immediately occurred.

He used this thrust to quickly distance himself, and turned to face the crowd, still holding the container containing the virus core in his hand.

Everyone gathered around and confronted Manison.

"Be careful. If you destroy the container, my efforts will be in vain."

Manison was not angry at all and said calmly.

A direct descendant of the Federation of Radiance, Guardian Rama said in a deep voice: "Manison, hand over the core of the virus. You know very well that this kind of thing cannot be spread."

The remote projection of Sidrun and other leaders was generated nearby, with a serious tone: "Yes, Your Excellency Tool Nation, you are a sensible person. Our three major civilizations will definitely reward you for your first contribution to capturing the core of the virus, but this thing,

It is absolutely not allowed to be left in the hands of others."

"Haha, don't be so nervous. When I finish my research, I will not only hand over the virus core, but also share the technology I analyzed."

Manison is very casual and unhurried.

Han Xiao said nothing, looked around, and nodded secretly, having already anticipated the current situation.

In the past life, someone cut off the virus core and succeeded quietly, but the current situation is completely different. The virus core is a hot potato. No matter which mechanic succeeds, he will immediately face difficulties and be targeted by other mechanics. At the same time, the three

A great civilization will inevitably ask for it in public.

Warships are not helpful in capturing virus cores, so why do the three major civilizations deploy fleets at trap nodes? Obviously, this is not used to deal with virus cores, but to deal with Transcendent A Grade mechanics like them!

Most of the master clones present had short-range jump capabilities. Han Xiao even had Void Flash, but no one used it. This was precisely because the fleet had activated the time and space anchor at the trap node early, prohibiting jump flash to prevent anyone from escaping.

It is precisely because the space and time around Yun Magneto Star has been imprisoned that Manison would stay here to talk, otherwise he would jump and disappear the moment he succeeded.

If you want to leave with the virus core... you can only fight out!

However, although the three major civilizations and other mechanics tried to take away the virus core, they were worried about damaging the container, so they were more restrained even in sneak attacks.
To be continued...
