Mysterious beings, terrifying anomalies, and a magnificent, colorful world undergoing change~ Who stands out in the impact of an otherworldly invasion? An ancient swindler organization tells you th...
One day later in the alternate world, the ultra-large-scale ritual formation located in the capital of the Gunningsen Empire had been completed.
The palace square, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, was engraved with mysterious magic patterns. In the following hours, these magic patterns, powered by the magic power of the Holy Spirit, used the ground and the continuously added plastic materials as media, and continued to grow outward automatically, finally stopping at the entire imperial city.
Many mysterious magic symbols extend beyond the imperial city. Now the imperial capital can emit light as bright as day even at night.
For the people of this era who have never seen the world, this strange world is considered a miracle in their minds.
The originally panicked people in the imperial capital quickly calmed down, and those nobles who were not prepared to flee or did not have time to flee the imperial capital were all glad for their choice or waiting.
A rumor that was circulating among the people but which the imperial authorities had no intention of denying was spreading throughout the imperial capital:
The evil demon came to the mortal world and wanted to destroy the world. The war situation ahead was not optimistic. Coupled with the sporadic monsters that had begun to appear before, many northern countries were in danger, and many armies and cities of Gunningsen had been destroyed by the demons before.
However, the Gunningsen Empire had much better luck than the northern countries. The Protestantism defined as heresy by the Church of Light was actually the original orthodoxy of the true Church of Light. It possessed magical powers and called upon "Heaven" in this critical moment.
The huge magic circle in the Imperial Palace is proof that the messengers from heaven have come to help. Based on this, the true power of heaven is summoned here to fight against the demons.
The people living south of the occupied area of the Gunningsen Empire were naturally happy, but the opposite was true for those living north of it.
Although the demons' route was temporarily blocked by the locust swarm, in fact, when the locust swarm first came into contact with the demons, the demons had already spread a considerable distance around.
The seemingly terrifying number of the insect swarm has a limit after all. It is impossible for them to really surround the demon, and even if they do, they cannot stop it. So they can only resort to the second best and form a dense insect swarm in the main area of one side of the fan.
Even so, after almost two days of consumption, the locust swarm still looked boundless and terrifying. In fact, nearly half of the native locusts had died. The number of dead insects was not simply tens of thousands, but over tens of billions.
This was the effect of the "catastrophic famine" that had fermented for so long, after eating up all the greenery and some stored food in half of the Kingdom of Lensoget and a small portion of the land in the two neighboring kingdoms, as well as the flesh and blood of some unfortunate creatures.
The strategic delaying effect was definitely achieved, but some military analysts and commentators on Earth still believed that such consumption was indeed a waste of resources. After all, as a Chinese military expert joked, it would be more beneficial to make these locusts into food than to consume them in this way.
Of course, the military also acted very quickly, and major powers around the world have already drawn their elite troops from the front lines to assemble and stand by.
However, many people in the scientific community, including Academician Jin, are very interested in the locusts that have eaten the devil's meat.
Some locusts died from the erosion reaction shortly after eating the demon meat, but many survived in the end, and the entire swarm of insects fought fiercely for the corpses that had digested the demon meat. This information was sent directly back to the earth by the Holy Spirit.
…
Earth, a research base codenamed "The Demonic Cave".
The surviving thunder beasts had already returned a day ago through the magic array carved by the Holy Spirit.
At this moment, the rest of the thunder beasts are still undergoing treatment mainly with surgery and supplemented by special drugs. The less seriously injured Claw No. 1 and Claw No. 16 have already followed the two evolved officers to their new "dormitory".
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”…
There was a continuous sound of low and heavy footsteps.
The two thunder beasts are quite different in size, but even a huge one like Claw 1 can still move freely in this huge corridor.
A huge underground square is about to be reached ahead. The two thunder beasts are now very excited, and the data in their bodies are constantly flowing on the supercomputer of the institute's detection and monitoring center.
Although the main material of the corridor is still alloy, the spray painting in some places has changed from the common cold tones to warm tones, and there are also some cartoon-colored paint surfaces.
There are also some simple green plants on the side, some of which are potted plants, and some are big trees with roots in the soil, with some tempting fruits on them.
Soothing classical music was playing in the corridor.
This feeling made the two thunder beasts very happy. The "devils" really kept their promise. After they became "soldiers", their treatment was greatly improved.
"Number 1, number 16."
The leading human officer turned his head and revealed a profile.
“Yes!” “Yes!”
The two sounds were so loud as roars that another officer in front couldn't help but pick his ears.
"Relax, this is your dormitory area. What I want to say is that since you are the first batch of advanced Thunder Beasts and have successfully become privates, I can tell you some secrets. It does not violate military regulations."
Faced with two monsters whose sizes were countless times larger than their own, the two officers did not feel nervous at all. Although it was because there were checks and balances in the bodies of the thunder beasts, it was also because they were confident in their own strength.
"Do you know that there is a hidden military rule in the Thunder Beast community? We need to pay attention to those special Thunder Beasts. Um, do you know what 'sinking' is?"
'Sink!'
The two thunder beasts were a little terrified. They were monsters that were sucked in from the outside world, not the remnants of the fallen world. Originally, they did not know about falling, but they had some contact with it during the time in the research institute and knew the horror and irreversibility of falling.
The officer smiled when he saw the movement of the Thunder Beast's facial muscles.
"I think you have guessed it. Yes, some individuals in the Thunder Beast group are infected with the Depravity. Although the area of their souls is not very large, you know that these guys are actually unstable factors among the Thunder Beasts. The higher-ups have been hesitant about whether to give them the opportunity to be promoted."
"But now you are the highest-ranking among the Thunder Beasts. The higher-ups think that you should be allowed to participate in the formulation of the promotion system to determine the hidden promotion qualifications of some Thunder Beasts. If you think it's okay, the chances of promotion will naturally be higher. If you think it's not right, um, for some dangerous parts of the mission, you will receive corresponding tactical training as a commander. Do you understand what I mean?"
The two thunder beasts breathed heavily and spurted out a large stream of hot liquid.
In just a few words, they not only feared the prospect of sinking, but also felt a great sense of accomplishment and anticipation.
Participate in the formulation of the Ultralisk promotion rules! Get the opportunity to be promoted and understand the commander's authority better!
This is a noble privilege unique to ordinary thunder beasts!
They have already obtained the authority, so naturally they hope that when their peers obtain advanced authority, it will be... a little more difficult!
We kept walking and talking, and suddenly the view in front of us opened up and we had arrived at the square.
This square, which is more than 50,000 square meters, is surrounded by a circle of huge cage chambers that are not too far apart from each other. Two of the adjacent cage chambers have light signs on.
The eyes of the two thunder beasts began to shine, and their pace quickened a lot. They soon reached the edge of the cage and looked inside through the alloy fence and transparent shield.
"Instructions for use of the officer-level Ultralisk dormitory: equipped with high-standard indoor infrastructure, able to connect to the local area network, and able to use entertainment facilities..."
Following the introduction of the electronic sound above, Leishou gradually understood the functions here.
The cage is a thousand square meters in size and has a comfortable bedding nest inside. You can choose cork, artificial leather or various artificial velvets. It is equipped with controllable lighting, huge projection video equipment and music equipment.
What excites Thunder Beast the most is that food is available 24 hours a day, and the food is finally no longer the disgusting metal-injected nutrients, but mixed meal packages, and even more delicious nutrients with seasonings. It is great to be able to add seasonings to the nutrients!
To Lei Shou, the various devices inside are just like a digital addict who has just bought a new game console, a new mobile phone, or a new high-end computer. He can't wait to go in and touch them.
Even the cartoon patterns sprayed on the alloy fence outside are so cute.
"Well, after moving into the new dormitory, if you want to go out for some fresh air in the square, uh, just to have some fun in the square, you can directly apply to the higher-ups through the implanted device, and you can do so at any time!"
"Also, the regulations for soldiers are similar to those for humans. In principle, you cannot leave the barracks without a mission or approval from your superiors, but you can go to other barracks squares through the three central corridors. However, your living and entertainment conditions are much better than those of most human soldiers!"
After saying this, two scanning lights flashed outside the "dormitory" where Claw 1 and 16 were standing.
"Authorization confirmed. The owner of the barracks dormitory is Private Claw 1."
"Authorization confirmed. The owner of the barracks dormitory is Private Claw No. 16."
The transparent shield and alloy fence of the gate rose up, and the two thunder beasts rushed in excitedly but carefully. They first rolled towards the inside of the nest. Although there was a loud rumbling noise, the quality of the nest was good and nothing happened.
The space is "vast", no longer a metal box where limbs are fixed, no longer a food syringe that keeps stabbing into the stomach, but also entertainment facilities...
The TV program was turned on, and it was controlled by the intelligent AI inside the room at the instruction of the military officer.
"I thought you might be interested in this!"
The two thunder beasts took one look and were attracted, and didn't even notice that the outer metal fence had fallen down again and the officer had left.
The video is a live broadcast.
…
In a certain laboratory, Academician Jin pushed his old-fashioned glasses frame which was slipping a little, and looked at the two low-level demons and one medium-level demon who were fixed on the laboratory table in front of him with a smile, and the corpse of the high-level demon was also fixed next to them.
Since their size is not exaggerated, all four of them can fit into a large laboratory, but they are all separated by isolation covers.
Ignoring the roars of the demons in the soundproof enclosure, the large and small mechanical arms around the experimental table have been turned on, and various mechanical equipment are glowing with cold light, making the two thunder beasts watching the live broadcast excited but also shivering.
