Shadow of the Beautiful World

Praise the Machine Soul!

On the rainy night grassland, a female mechanical priest just finished praying.

Holding a metal scripture in her hand, she spread her arms and recited the greatness of the Machine Soul.

The thick robe was soaked by the raindrops, and slipped from the arms of the mechanical priest. In the flash of the sky, the light reflected from the silver-white metal arms could be vaguely seen.

And in front of her eyes, in the pouring rain, dozens of primitive omnics who had just been activated by the energy of the fire source half-kneeled on the ground.

There is nothing in their newly revived brains. They don't know why they were born, just like newborn children who know nothing about the world but are full of curiosity.

They looked at the mechanical priest in front of them and listened to the advice of the mechanical god.

In the thought circuit that has just been activated, the special soul code of the Mechanicus is also being transformed silently.

In the hoarse and solemn chanting of the female priest, these newborn primitive omnics also began to shout the name of the machine soul.

It is easiest to draw on a blank sheet of paper.

The Mechanic Teachings, which have been perfected over the months, explain the meaning of Man of Steel and Soul.

Although that does not seem to conform to the logical thinking of human beings, for these newborn robots, it is undoubtedly regarded as the light of enlightenment wisdom.

Under the guidance of the mechanical priest, they stood up and followed her to the dark red door standing in the rain.

In this cold, desolate rainy night, mechanical priests in black robes walked forward, holding shining lanterns in their hands, just like guiding lights in the dark night.

They walked in the rain with a group of bewildered omnics, much like the missionaries in those religious stories.

wow

A bolt of lightning lit up in the sky, illuminating the dark earth.

In that fleeting light, Waller, who was holding an umbrella, could see the marching robots, awakened from different metal creations, with strange appearances.

Their figures were projected in the arc light at the location of the rainy night. In the constantly swaying raindrops, Waller watched them walk into the dark red door leading to the unknown under the leadership of the mechanical priest.

Two mechanical priests are maintaining the door, with weird runes shining on their arms, and lingering mist swaying outside their bodies, making the halo flow, swirling light door seem to be filled with There was a sense of evil ritual.

Is that the gate to hell?

Waller asked Magneto who was also silent beside him:

Are they going to take these omnics to hell?

I have no idea.

Magneto said calmly:

I'm not a magician, but there is no doubt that the place where this door leads is the place where the smart tower migrated before. The Mechanicus has found a place to stay outside this world.

Waller nodded, and she looked back to the other side. At the end of her sight, the light shining from the ground was still beating, and waves of energy shock waves visible to the naked eye were spreading outward.

In that splash of energy, a steady stream of primitive omnics was awakened.

It's like an invisible, oversized omnic workshop.

And Hope stood alone on the hill only tens of meters away from the energy core of the fire source. The mechanical sage who liked to joke stood in the pouring rain, holding a lantern and scriptures, like a sculpture.

I suddenly feel a little regretful.

Waller looked at Hope's back, and she said to Magneto beside her:

Mr. Eric, maybe I shouldn't have promised Mechanicus to handle the affairs of the Numbani contaminated area before, maybe I should let you destroy these newborn omnics in situ.

You are scared.

Magneto had a fleeting smile on his old face, and he said:

You think the Mechanicus will come back and cause the Omnic Crisis, and then sweep the world, don't you?

Um.

Waller nodded frankly. She held an umbrella in one hand and put one hand in her pocket. She said:

Look at these brainwashed omnics. Icarus only needs a little transformation, and she has hundreds of thousands of mechanical warriors who are not afraid of death overnight... If they really accumulate strength in Outland and make a comeback, It's hard for us to stop.

Worrying!

Magneto snorted and said:

Don't underestimate the power of self-protection in this world. The Mechanic Cult going far away proves that even a robot that is not afraid of death will be afraid of the warriors born in this world.

Besides, I can probably guess who the Mechanic God is protecting. That guy is not someone who will let the Mechanic God do whatever he wants.

Old Eric said a word without beginning or end.

He took one last look at the door standing in the rainy night, raised his wrist, checked the time, and said to Waller:

I have nothing to do here, I'm leaving.

Let's go together.

Waller sighed as she turned and followed Magneto beyond the contaminated area, where a helicopter was waiting for them.

Mr. Eric, are you going back to New York? Or to Utopia Island?

In the cabin, Waller held her mobile phone and turned to look at Magneto. She said:

I can arrange a flight for you.

Need not.

Magneto waved his hand, the old man closed his eyes and rested, he said:

Just drop me at the nearest airport and my daughter will pick me up.

Having said that, old Eric had a sincere smile on his face, and he said:

Don't bother me for the next few days, I want to have a good Christmas with my family.

Magneto's words made Waller stunned for a moment.

She's been so busy lately that she's forgotten that Christmas is only a few days away.

But the holiday doesn't hold much special significance for Waller either.

She was unmarried, had no children, her parents were in a nursing home, and she didn't have many friends. Waller was truly alone.

But think about it again, she is seriously ill, if there is no accident, this is very likely to be the last Christmas in her life.

Want to live alone?

Amid the sound of the plane's propeller spinning, Waller hesitated.

She picked up the phone, and after a little hesitation, she still sent a text message.

Alice, want to spend your first Christmas together?

———————————

In the end, Waller still failed to spend Christmas with Agent Alice peacefully.

Just the day before Christmas, five days after the fifth attack on the source of fire, a very bad news was discovered by the monitoring personnel of the Sky Eye Society.

Siberia, Volskaya Industrial Zone.

This omnic industrial park built in the middle of nowhere was shut down by the Russian government a few months ago.

But because of the impact of the fire source, it was temporarily activated to contain the newly born primitive omnics.

In the past 5 days, more than 1.6 million primitive omnics have been transferred to the industrial park from several lightly and heavily polluted areas in West Lia.

This is the content of the omnic plan, and it is also one of the most important tasks of the industrial zone.

Everything was going very smoothly, but in the early morning of this morning, a group of armed thugs suddenly attacked the Volskaya Industrial Zone.

But not human.

But a robot!

To be precise, it was a group of Cybertronians who came out of nowhere.

boom

A silver-gray fighter flew roaring through the cold sky of Siberia. Its flight trajectory was very strange, almost flying against the ground, extremely fast and very flexible.

When approaching the defense line of the garrison troops in the Volskaya Industrial Zone, several precision-guided missiles flew out of the launchers, roaring down and smashing down on the heads of the human troops resisting the invasion.

The flames shot up into the sky, and several buildings serving as a banquet for troops exploded from the center. Flying bricks and collapsed buildings were pressed to the ground, and several large biped mechas that were suppressing fire were crushed in the ruins.

Holes immediately appeared in the intertwined firepower net.

Amidst the roaring sound full of mechanical sound quality, amidst the interlacing of gunpowder smoke and flames lingering on the ground, a group of tall Cybertronians with bodies full of sci-fi atmosphere brandished weapons and rushed over in an extremely arrogant manner.

They all have a common emblem on their arms.

It's like a robot head made of geometric shapes, and it's like an icon of a beast.

Humans! Weak!

The fastest rushing robot has black wheels on its feet. It looks like a young man playing roller skating. While his legs are sliding, it rushes over against the firepower of the defense line, and raises its arms while grinning.

Its fingers change rapidly to form a hand cannon with three barrels connected together.

In the high-speed rotating turbine, the scorching energy will tear apart the defense line in front of him in the next moment, and kill the human soldiers in the defense line together.

It is a Decepticon, it advocates conquest, it will like this feeling of slaughter.

Go away! Dirty robot!

But just before the guy fired, a roar sounded from behind the line of defense, and a muscular woman in blue power armor with a white heavy weapon in both hands stood up from her hiding place.

She has short pink hair and looks imposing.

The moment she jumped out, she aimed at the target, raised the muzzle of the heavy weapon she held in both hands, blue light burst out, and a shell like an electromagnetic ball was fired.

Under the horrified gaze of the Decepticon soldiers, the shell hit its chest, and in the next second, a huge magnetic field erupted, trapping the robot in place.

Get rid of it!

The strong woman yelled, and soon soldiers who were looking at the anti-tank rockets rushed up.

After a short aim, blast the head of the Decepticon droid with a high-explosive missile, sending it into droid hell...

Ugh, if there's a hell of a thing about robots.

The standby mech is activated! Hold the gap for me! Support will be here soon!

The powerful female colonel was not immersed in the excitement of killing the enemy. She held the heavy cannon in her hands with both hands, and gave orders while bombarding the Decepticons who were trying to break through the defense line.

Unity is strength, comrades!

The female colonel cheered up the morale loudly in the communicator, and she shouted:

Motherland is watching us! Do anything! Stop them!

boom

Another diminutive Decepticon was decapitated by the colonel, and the soldiers on the defensive line cheered for this brilliant kill.

This is an unusual force for going head-to-head with a group of Decepticons.

They are the garrison force specially prepared by the Russian government for the Volskaya Industrial Zone. They are the elite of the elite and have received special training from the mechanical combat department of s..l.d.

From the establishment of the industrial zone to the present, they have been guarding this important industrial zone.

And the female colonel with a cross scar on her forehead, named Alexandra Charianova, was the commander of the garrison.

In a sense, she can also be regarded as Merlin's student.

Merlin was personally responsible for the first training subject of mechanical combat.

Among the students are not only Colonel Zarya, but also General Borich, the commander of the German Mechanical Crusade, and so on.

For Zarya and her soldiers, these menacing Decepticon miscellaneous soldiers in front of them are not difficult to deal with. They look fierce and have a large number of people, but their combat effectiveness is not much higher than the soldiers' biped robots.

In front of the target, the pulse heavy artillery is ready! Listen to my order!

Zarya, wearing blue power armor, stood at the gap in the defense line, clutching her heavy cannon.

Behind her, the main guns of three 4-meter-high black bipedal combat mechs had already begun to charge.

And in front of her eyes, there were 5 Decepticons launching a group charge.

Zarya's combat assistance terminal accurately calculated the running speed of those guys, and when they crossed an invisible line, the powerful female colonel roared and pulled the trigger.

A ball of black magnetic bullets broke out from her heavy cannon and hit the feet of the five Decepticons. The chaotic magnetic force spread, and it seemed like countless hands suddenly closed.

In the burst of magnetic force, the five running Decepticons were held in place by the sudden magnetic force in a strange posture.

They struggled, and the parts flew around, but they couldn't break free at all.

Fire!

The female colonel with eyes full of anger gave an order, and the main guns of the three battle mechs behind her fired simultaneously.

Three scorching blue beams of light staggered and bombarded the bodies of the Decepticon soldiers who couldn't dodge in front.

In the violent explosion and the flames soaring into the sky, the corpses of five Cybertronians fell to the ground as twisted parts flew around.

The soldiers on the defensive line once again cheered Ula Ula, but this excellent kill also caused trouble for Colonel Zarya.

The Cybertronians are not idiots, they also know the truth of catching the thief first.

Amid the roar of the plane, the three flying Decepticons changed their shapes in the air and hit the female colonel in a falling attack, launching the most explosive attack involuntarily.

Zarya activated the power armor's energy matrix, but after barely blocking the first wave of attacks, she herself was held in the hands of the brute-force high-level Decepticons, and slammed on the ground like a ball.

This shot made the female colonel dizzy.

She struggled to get up, and saw a surprisingly large muzzle aimed at her, and in that muzzle, there was a fast-rotating turbine.

The breath of death came so suddenly that even the bravest soldier would have an indescribable sense of suffocation.

At this moment of life and death, the dark red light shone like flying thunder and lightning. Amid the sound of gears colliding, the mechanical sage in armor jumped out of the light and landed on the grinning Decepticon's head.

Flames spurted out, and the ferocious mechanical war hammer hit the Decepticon's head.

In the flames where the head of the Decepticon exploded and parts flew randomly, more flying Mechanicus warriors flew out from the dark red light curtain and joined the battlefield between robots and humans.

Unexpected support is here!
