After traveling through so many worlds, Fang Zheng already had some experience of his own.
That is, if it is in the world of science fiction, unless it reaches the level of Synapses mentioned by the little angel, it is generally impossible to resist magic.
The same is true for this world bubble. Sidonia's technology can only be barely called advanced, but it is not to the extent of folding space, blocking dimensions, and implementing dimensionality reduction attacks. Similarly, even though Qijuzi looks a bit weird, its operating principle does not exceed this scope, so for Fang Zheng, it is much easier to deal with this thing.
Although he is unable to restore his dragon body now, it is not difficult for him to reach the core of the mass ship and obtain data.
Although Tesla and the others were worried that Fang Zheng might put himself in danger, Fang Zheng did not take it seriously, because for a mage, there was more than one way.
Just like now.
"Life is just a play. Why should we care too much about the grudges?"
Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back, humming a song as he walked forward. On both sides of his body were dark, flickering shadows, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness and burning.
That's right, Fang Zheng is not in the real world now, but in the shadow plane. Using other planes as a passage to travel is also a master skill of mages. However, in the main world, most mages will not do this, because everyone knows that there is such a trick, so there are corresponding means.
Either they sign a contract with a shadow creature to guard the door, or they release a barrier. In any case, it is impossible for you to come in this way.
But in this low-level science fiction world, there is no need to worry about this problem. People here don’t even know what the shadow plane is.
Qi Juzi certainly didn't know, so Fang Zheng used this method to board the public ship, and then walked along the passage of the shadow plane towards the core of Qi Juzi. Although vague shadows could be seen in all directions, Qi Juzi would never have thought that someone was walking in his body.
"I smile smugly and smile smugly, watching the world of mortals never grow old... huh?"
Just as they were about to reach the center of the mass transit ship, Fang Zheng suddenly froze for a moment and stopped. Then he frowned and looked forward.
In front of Fangzheng, where the center of the public ship should be, stood a huge dark castle. It seemed to be made of obsidian, suspended in the air, and locked by iron chains as big as bridges, motionless.
What's this?
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng's expression changed slightly. It's not strange that there are shadow creatures in the shadow plane. There are even gods in the shadow plane of the main world. But the problem is that the shadow plane in this world bubble should be empty, with nothing. This is a science fiction world, not a magic world. To put it bluntly, the shadow plane is actually similar to the dimensional world of the star world, but in the magic world, there are all kinds of super-dimensional creatures living in it.
But there shouldn't be any living creatures in the shadow plane of this world, let alone gods, so how could this appear... That's right!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up!
According to the previous inference, the tree of imaginary numbers was originally located in a high-dimensional plane, which is why Fang Zheng had to travel through the astral plane. For such a large Honkai beast, it is not wrong to say that it is a Herrscher. Considering that the way this world kills Qijuzi is to use the "Edge Spear" to penetrate the core and make it foam, then we can draw a conclusion. Maybe the "Edge Spear" cuts off the connection between the core and Honkai energy, causing it to lose its energy supply and then die.
After all, the Honkai beasts and Herrschers in the Honkai world are already infected and transformed by Honkai energy. However, judging from the characteristics of the Qijuzi in this world that they devour their prey and assimilate them, they are more like the collective embodiment of Honkai energy that has not yet combined with the host. Therefore, as long as the channel for transmitting Honkai energy is destroyed, the Qijuzi that loses its support will immediately disappear.
It's like when you unplug the power plug, the TV immediately goes out.
Fang Zheng had penetrated the Honkai consciousness through the core of the Herrscher before, but at that time the Herrscher itself was very weak and could not support Fang Zheng's confrontation with the Honkai consciousness. But now it is different, with such a large passage, if he goes through it, won't he be able to easily find the location of the Honkai consciousness?
I never thought that I would find a treasure! !
Fang Zheng was very excited at this moment. Although he had thought that this core would definitely give him clues, he had never thought that the channel of the consciousness of the collapse would change like this when placed in a high-dimensional plane. Now, if I can't catch you in the three-dimensional world, can I catch you in the high-dimensional world?
Hmm... Calm down, calm down, don't get excited, let's see what happens first...
Although Fang Zheng wanted to rush over directly, he knew that this kind of ghost place must not be easy to enter. In fact, he had already seen some strange robot-like things wandering in front of the castle gate. These things were all black, and their bodies looked like big clocks. Their hands and feet were also pointed and long, and they were not easy to deal with at first glance.
Of course, Fang Zheng was not afraid of not being able to defeat it, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy. After all, based on his previous experience, he already knew that the Honkai consciousness was a coward. In addition, he had tricked it before, so there was no guarantee that it would be like a frightened bird and would unplug the network cable at the slightest sign of trouble.
So…well, enter the village quietly, and don’t use guns.
If Fang Zheng had learned illusion spells, then it wouldn't be a problem to dodge these guards. But unfortunately, Fang Zheng specialized in prophecy, and the spell that restrains prophecy is illusion. But this doesn't mean that Fang Zheng can't sneak in. Even if illusion is ineffective, prophecy can also be used to sneak.
For Fang Zheng, stealth itself was not difficult. After all, he had been an assassin. He quietly climbed up the castle along the chain. Taking the opportunity when a guard turned around, Fang Zheng quickly quickened his pace and rushed directly into the hall in front of him.
Although the entire castle is called a castle, it only looks like a castle. There are no doors or windows, only empty doorways. At first glance, you have no idea where to go. However, for Fang Zheng, this is not a difficult task. Although he also doesn't know the way, but... is the prophecy wizard a vegetarian?
Simply put, rely on your intuition!
First turn left then right, first turn right then left, turn twice, take a shortcut, and then...oh, look, here we are, right?
Looking at the temple-like hall in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged.
The good thing about the prophecy wizard is that there is no need for puzzles or running around. You can find your destination just by following your intuition. You don't have to walk here and run there like the protagonist in an RPG and then open a mechanism... Forget it, thinking about these things now is meaningless.
Let’s take a look here first.
While thinking, Fang Zheng raised his head and stared at the church in front of him.
The entire temple looks quite majestic. It is a semicircular space with a high black stone platform in the center. In the center of the stone platform, a prismatic crystal is suspended, which is emitting a soft and dazzling white light. A beam of light emerges from it and shoots into the center of the semicircular dome, making it look as if it is supplying energy.
In the real world, this core obviously does not look like this. Fang Zheng can see through the shadows around him that underneath the shadows is bright red flesh and blood. Obviously, this core presents completely different forms in the real world and the shadow plane.
So the crystal is the key. Fang Zheng can also feel that the crystal is like a large data transfer station, extracting strong Honkai energy from the infinite void and transferring it to this huge Honkai beast.
As long as we take this crystal core, we can solve the problem. However...
Fang Zheng raised his head and glanced at the semicircular dome. Above the dome, he saw densely-packed spider-like jointed puppets hanging upside down with their limbs together. The entire hall was completely uncovered. If Fang Zheng walked out, he would be surrounded by them. Although Fang Zheng was definitely not afraid of this thing, as he said before, he didn't want to let that cowardly Honkai consciousness slip away when the opportunity arose.
But luckily, the wizard also has the perfect helper for opening doors, picking locks, and digging graves!
"Mage's Hand!"
Fang Zheng waved his hands, drawing a rune in the air. Then, a translucent palm appeared out of thin air and flew slowly towards the crystal in the center of the rooftop.
Fang Zheng did not dare to use his tentacles because he had used them before and was afraid that the other party would find out. In Fang Zheng's opinion, the current Honkai consciousness was like a young wife who had been raped. She must be extremely sensitive and would be scared to death by the slightest movement. So he could not do it like before...
But there are many ways to do this, just like flirting with girls, if direct attack doesn't work, can't you still sneak around?
Just like this…
Under Fang Zheng's control, the wizard's hand floated in front of the crystal, then it opened its fingers and grabbed the crystal hard! It directly pulled the crystal out of the light column!
“——!!!”
Without the crystal, the beam of light instantly changed from a beam to a scattered light. It seems that this crystal not only has the function of transmitting, but also has the function of concentrating energy. Now that the crystal is gone, the Honkai energy is suddenly out of control and scatters.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!”
At this moment, the spider-like puppets hanging on the dome were also stimulated, and they screamed piercingly and rushed towards the crystal. However, Fang Zheng had already grabbed the crystal and then drew out his greatsword.
Now that we have the stuff, all we have to do next is fight our way out!
At the same time, on the bridge, Tesla was also uneasy as he watched the motionless Volkswagen ship.
"I say, he's been gone for so long, isn't there any news?"
Tesla looked at Einstein and asked, and the latter shook his head.
"I can't monitor him. He used that... magic to completely eliminate himself from our monitoring. I heard that he entered a higher-dimensional world? I think if that's the case, we can't contact him unless he contacts us on his own initiative."
"It's so mysterious, what should I do if something goes wrong?"
Tesla stamped her feet, then she glanced at Meiya Kurosaki who was playing cards with Rodney nearby and laughing.
"Aren't you worried about him?"
"Senior? Senior, there's nothing to worry about. Senior is very powerful. If he says we don't need to worry, then we don't need to worry. Don't you think so?"
Hearing what Tesla said, Meiya Kurosaki giggled and looked at Rodney, who was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, the commander has given the order, and we just need to obey it."
"Follow orders, follow orders. You are not weapons..."
At this point, Tesla remembered that Fang Zheng seemed to have introduced to them that these ship girls were actually warships. From a certain perspective, they were indeed weapons.
"Okay, but if something goes wrong..."
"You can't help if something goes wrong."
Danzhu silently played a card.
"Don't worry too much. In our time, there were also many people who watched their loved ones go to the battlefield..."
"Who loves that bastard?"
Before Danzhu could finish his words, Tesla screamed in frustration.
"I'm not worried about his life or death. I'm just worried about what we'll do if he dies. Without him, we can't even go to the astral realm, let alone return to our own world!"
"you……"
Hearing what Tesla said, Einstein looked at her in surprise and wanted to say something, but at the same time, Tesla turned his head viciously and stared at her with a murderous look, so Einstein decisively took back what he was about to say.
At this moment, Rodney suddenly put down the cards in his hand and stood up.
"Received the commander's order, prepare to fire!!"
