“Sizzle, sizzle…”
Sparks were still coming out of the broken cuts on the wall, and in the corridor illuminated by the light tubes, several damaged autonomous defense robots were lying on the ground.
The hard sound of boots stepping on the steel grid floor made a clear sound, but other than that, the air was extremely quiet.
Xing held a makeshift broadsword in his hand, with some blue coolant still on it. He stopped in front of a closed circular door.
A heavy, teeth-grinding chopping sound was heard.
He held the knife and chopped it down again and again, making small cracks in the thick door. The special metal inside rolled out and made a sharp sound when it scratched the blade.
The originally straight blade was deformed and curled with each chop, forcing him to stop and stroke the blade with his hand.
Where his fingers touched, the blade gradually turned red and softened, then he slowly straightened it, and then chopped it again and again.
Just like that, more than ten minutes later, a hideous and torn gap appeared on the door in front of him, and a hint of cold air faintly emanated from the inside.
Looking at the scenery behind the door that was about to appear, he stopped, then gathered his strength and kicked out with a dull sound.
The gap in the door was torn an inch larger. Seeing that it worked, he repeated it again. After several times, he finally tore a gap that was wide enough for him to pass through.
Looking at the lights that lit up one after another behind the door, and the weapons that were vaguely visible in his peripheral vision, Xing couldn't help but frown, and then stopped for a moment.
With his strength, it is not difficult to defeat these autonomous machines that have been covered in dust for thousands of years and are mostly broken. However, based on previous experience, such a battle will also cause great damage, and now he is very close to the core area.
Let's wait a moment.
Thinking of this, he stepped back for the moment and found a place to sit down.
While recovering his strength and magic power, he clicked on the communication device next to his ear.
"How are things going over there?"
Then, a hoarse electric sound flashed by, followed by Mo Hu's distorted reply.
"I've almost cracked it, wait a moment, how about you?"
"I've arrived at the outer gate of the core area, but there are quite a few defense units inside. If a fight breaks out, the consequences are unpredictable, so I'm asking about your situation."
"Very good. It's rare that you can be so cautious and calm. Wait a moment. I have found a lot of amazing information. I will tell you later. I'm hanging up now." The voice then disappeared, leaving only a faint sound of electricity.
"What a surprise." Xing muttered to himself, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
This is the space inside the Throne of God. After approaching here several months ago, their spaceship was shot down by the automatic defense system as soon as it got close. Fortunately, both of them were not ordinary people, and many of the defense systems here had been shut down due to lack of maintenance, so they survived the hail of bullets.
Later, the two of them wandered around the periphery looking for opportunities. It took them three months, and finally Lelila relied on a small internal loophole and disguised herself as a small transport ship carrying supplies to enter the interior of the Star Crown.
But the problems began after entering. Compared with other places, this place is too big. The facilities inside the entire throne are larger than the entire continent, and countless facilities are spread throughout it. If you can't steal the internal information, you have no idea where the core area is and where you can really access the operating point of the Star Crown.
So, the two of them split up into two groups. Lelila accessed the system inside the throne, looking for opportunities to gain authority, while Xing headed towards the main trunk based on the structure of the facilities, looking for possible locations.
More than half a year passed like this, and the two would only contact each other occasionally to report each other's location and progress.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a few hours, Xing heard the paging sound of electricity again in his ears.
"Where are you? I'll come over. I've already cracked a basic identity."
"I'm in area b2n47, you can find me here."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Then the voice hung up.
An hour later, a golden-haired figure with golden wings flew at high speed, passing through long and dim corridors, and finally arrived at this narrow entrance.
"Oh, is this the place? It seems you did a good job." Lelila folded her wings, squatted down, and checked the scrapped machines at her feet. Although many of them were damaged, judging from the thick gun barrels and strong structural materials, such Lepton Sequence mechanical bodies had combat power no less than Sequence 8, and there were quite a few of them.
"The core area is inside." Xing stood up and pointed his knife at the gap on the gate next to him.
"Yes and no." Lelila shook her head.
"This is just the outer ring of the core A3 area. There are three more layers inside, and each one is more heavily guarded than the last. There's even a Sequence 9 Spirit Sequence machine sleeping inside."
"If the situation becomes critical, these high-level mechanical life forms will even gather around important 'cornerstones' and forcibly detach from the throne, then leave."
"They have the power. Hundreds of Sequence 9 mechanical lifeforms are enough to carve a large hole in the throne and escape with the important 'cornerstone'."
"Hundreds? Are you sure?" Xing frowned.
Lelila turned her head, her golden-brown eyes looking at the scarred and dusty man in front of her, and nodded slightly.
"Indeed, this is actually my conservative estimate. If this were the era before the Fall of the Transcendents, there would have been two Sequence 10 Apostles guarding this place. You have to understand the importance of this place as a culmination of civilization. Human civilization at the time valued this place very highly."
