The capital of the empire was later relocated underground.
After Queen Isabella docked the spaceship near a hidden bay, she flew towards the imperial capital in another fighter plane.
The spacecraft is too large to be completely concealed.
This fighter named Thunderbird has the most advanced optical stealth device, which is enough for them to enter the imperial capital safely. On the way, Queen Isabella also briefly told Su Ziyu and Shar about some things about the Mechanicus. In short, this is an organization that is too big to be eliminated. After the failure of psychic ascension, the emperor of the empire needed to use the power of religion to appease the hearts of the people. The Mechanicus rose at that time. They inherited some doctrines and technologies from the ruins of the ancient lost empire. In the darkest era of the empire, they quickly developed a huge number of believers and once completely controlled the power of the people.
If that were all, the Mechanicus wouldn't be a big problem, after all, the core strength of the Empire is at the top.
But later they discovered a large amount of mechanical technology in some unknown ancient ruins, and their core leaders came up with a very dangerous idea, which was the main reason for the tension between them and successive emperors of the empire.
The Mechanicus wants to build a '****' empire.
This was something that no emperor of the empire had been able to accept. Queen Isabella also rejected many of the teachings of the Mechanicus. The royal blood had a hint of madness, freedom, and bloodthirstiness in its bones.
then.
During this crisis, when Queen Isabella's life or death was unknown and the power of the Royal Knights was severely damaged, the Mechanicus decisively launched a coup to seize power.
Of course, they still supported a puppet emperor in name.
That is Queen Isabella's nephew, Prince William, a guy who likes to be free and undisciplined in his daily life.
"William has no ability to resist them." Queen Isabella shook her head and said, "Now the entire imperial capital is probably under the control of the Mechanicus."
Queen Isabella was speaking when suddenly a trace of pain appeared on her expression.
After noticing that Queen Isabella's mental fluctuations began to become unstable, Su Ziyu decisively stretched out his hand and placed it on the back of her head. He then activated his ability of mental connection and used his spiritual will to help her calm her mind.
Nothing must happen to Queen Isabella at this time.
The mind was in a trance for a moment.
Then a piercing pain was transmitted to Su Ziyu's body along the mental connection, but this piercing pain did not come from Queen Isabella, because she was also a passively connected being.
"Save...save me...save me!..."
"Aunt Isabella! ..."
"Help me! I am in so much pain!"
A mental consciousness that was so painful that it was trembling and even speechless was transmitted to him. Su Ziyu's vision blurred for a moment, and then his senses shared everything that Queen Isabella saw.
It was an extremely magnificent golden palace.
There are hundreds of white marble steps leading up to the main hall. In front of the hall are marble columns with a diameter of several meters. It looks like the temple where ancient gods live. In front of the empty hall is an exquisitely carved golden throne. Every pattern is full of peculiar rhythm, as if it is the masterpiece of some master.
But at this moment, there was no one on the huge golden throne.
Su Ziyu's sight passed through the thick wall and entered a special secret room at the back of the hall.
A canned crystal with a diameter of more than five meters appeared in front of him. Around it, more than a dozen people wearing metal masks were busy in front of various instruments. Silver-white metal tubes were connected to the crystal in front, and many wavy patterns were projected in front of a large number of instruments.
"The Emperor's mind is unstable."
"Give him a sedative immediately!"
"Doctor ready."
"If the mind fluctuations are still unstable, just implant it into the artificial brain!..." "The power of the mind suppression barrier has reached 65%!..."
"Increase the frequency of mind synchronization!..."
Amidst the chaotic sounds, Su Ziyu's sight passed through the crystal jar in front of him, and then he saw a naked young man who was completely sealed inside, his whole body submerged in a light blue liquid.
He has a handsome appearance, and his features vaguely resemble those of Queen Isabella.
There are about thirty silver-white metal tubes inserted into various parts of his body. At the same time, a very small incision was made in his brain, near the cervical spine. Through the wound, one can see a tiny bit of white brain structure. The shallow wounds on both sides have been healed through nano-repair technology, but the shaved hair has not grown out yet. On both sides, an extremely sophisticated chip is implanted. Some kind of nano-neural bundle device directly penetrates into the brain, and is emitting very, very weak electromagnetic signals.
"William..." Queen Isabella growled in pain.
Without a doubt.
The young man trapped in the sealed jar was her nephew, Prince William, or the current Emperor of the Empire.
Royal family members all have extraordinary psychic talents in their blood.
Prince William seemed to be in extreme pain, and his psychic energy produced a certain burst, transmitting his mental fluctuations.
"What is that?"
"What are they doing?" Su Ziyu asked in a deep voice after the illusion in front of him disappeared.
This is simply a real puppet emperor.
The extreme pain transmitted by the mental fluctuations made Su Ziyu feel somewhat empathetic. He more or less knew what the people of the Mechanicus had done to the current Emperor of the Empire. Just by looking at the wounds on the outside, he could tell that Prince William's head had been opened and studied.
“Those damned rebels!” Queen Isabella’s emotions were close to being out of control, and bloodshot appeared in her pupils. With Su Ziyu’s spiritual comfort, she calmed down a little and said slowly, “It’s a telepathic device.”
"William's psychic energy cannot fully activate the psychic synchronization device."
"They want to transform William into a humanoid telepathic wave transmitter!..."
Real*Mind Launcher*Fake*Emperor of the Empire.
The aftereffects of the failure of psychic ascension are still affecting the people of the Empire, so the Mechanicus has remained silent for so many years because they cannot replace the royal family members and activate the mind-synchronization device to calm the minds of the people of the entire Empire.
The mind suppression barrier is only the outermost layer of the mind synchronization device. Without the comfort of the mind synchronization device, all imperial people will quickly fall into mental frenzy.
When Queen Isabella was in power, the Mechanicus certainly did not dare to take action.
But now Queen Isabella's life and death is unknown, and even her body cannot be found on the battlefield. This gives the Mechanicus an opportunity, an opportunity to completely control the royal family members and control the mind synchronization device. They quickly launched a coup and controlled Prince William, then sent people to take over the mind synchronization center under the Golden Palace, and then began to study a device that can stably and continuously emit mind-soothing waves.
And the core of this device is Prince William.
The current emperor of the empire.
"They will implant the Anles chip in William." Queen Isabella's voice was a little low and indignant, and she murmured: "Replace his brain with an artificial brain, simplify his thoughts, and make it a stable device that continuously emits joyful and happy mind waves."
“Damn it!”
"It's too late for us!..."
