"The Adeptus Mechanicus always likes to place themselves in the trash."
Looking at the oil stains and messy cables all around, Veronica frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the dirty ground here, so she levitated the height of a finger and walked through the air like this. At that time, we had already guessed that this mysterious lady was probably an Alpha-level psyker. Everyone in the center, even the machines, had probably fallen into her psychic control.
Passing through the hall, the huge door slowly opened to both sides on huge bearings coated with a large amount of lubricant. The door itself is three meters thick and can basically resist all vehicles except the main gun of heavy tanks.
The three of them walked through the door and then walked in the wide and winding corridors. Because the entire building is generally circular, they are also circular corridors. Each corridor is bright and dust-free. There are many technical priests, data engineers and people wearing clothes. Robed apprentices crowded the rooms on either side of the corridor, each working at the silver workbench in front of the Contemplator.
Veronica smiled and walked through a series of locked doors again, finally reaching the core of the mechanical palace.
Unlike the antechamber, there are no technical staff in this hall, as only a limited number of people have access to this part of the facility.
In front of the gate of the Mechanical Hall, four fighter servants turned to face the three men, the terrible weapons whirring as they pre-triggered.
"Identify!"
The nearest fighter servitor made a sound that was no different from that of an ordinary human being, but without a trace of emotion or life.
Sorge was suddenly a little nervous. Could it be that there was something wrong with the lady's psychic ability, but the servitor immediately judged that there was an authorized presence in front of him, and the weapon returned to idle.
The door slowly opened and the three of them stepped past the fighter servitor.
As the main control hall of the power generation center, it seems to be the same as usual at this time. Everyone is immersed in work, while the sage in charge here stands blankly in his position. Behind him is a huge scheduling stack until the maintenance Ronika came over and he seemed to have some reaction.
Then, Veronica gave orders to the standing sage like a master.
"Increase transmission power to the maximum."
"yes"
The sage nodded mechanically, and the sage used his authorization key to modify the transmission power of the power center. However, this alone would not cause the void shield generator to overload and short-circuit, because they all had protection mechanisms.
Sorge's heart skipped a beat. Having followed Khayon for many years, he had seen all kinds of psychics and witchcraft. Of course, many wizards were also very good at controlling the miserable mortal from a distance, but they could only do it in one pair. First, he had only seen the power of controlling many people's minds at the same time in his former master, Kayon. In other words, only psykers who had reached Kayon's level could do this.
However, even Khayon cannot control everyone in a huge building so easily, especially these mechanical sages. They have very complete protection for themselves and usually have anti-psionic and anti-control devices installed. Heart device.
Therefore, Veronica easily controlled an entire power center's servitors, skitarii, technical priests and even sages, which surprised Sorge and reminded him of a monster he encountered while following Khayon. ——
A slave to the heart.
This is a pure subspace creature, but it does not belong to the category of demons. It appears in the form of a barrel or sphere in the physical universe. It is about 2 meters tall. It has tough skin, usually showing a leathery brown color. There is a large red, pink or orange sensory organ at the top of the body, and a cluster of pale white or pink tentacles surround the upper part of the body.
They feed on the psychic energy of physical cosmic creatures. Through this mind control, they can silently take over other sentient minds and can control multiple lives, but the victims of this mind control are even under the control of slaves. , are also able to retain all of their basic abilities, knowledge, and physical attributes, but will become puppets in order to fulfill the will of their alien masters, even executing the orders of the most self-destructive behaviors such as suicide without hesitation.
Although a bit rude, this series of characteristics is too similar to the power Veronica is displaying at this time.
Suddenly, Veronica turned her head to look at him.
"Except for a few powerful individuals, the control range of most mind slaves is only 50 meters, and they can only control creatures with complete minds. Semi-machines like servitors that have removed most of their brain lobes cannot be controlled by them. In fact, they can't control them. It didn't control them, it just made them fall into the illusion of Lilith's Moon, making us look like superiors that he must obey in his eyes. This is an illusion rather than a mind control technique, so it will not stay in their minds. Traces, they’ll just be confused afterwards.”
Sorge took a step back. He almost forgot that the other party had the terrifying mind-reading ability, so he lowered his head to eliminate distracting thoughts.
"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Veronica."
"I can read minds, but it's not what you think. I know what you think because Kayon gave me the 'brand' before he left."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and a spinning black symbol floated out of her palm.
"Besides, he asked me to tell you that you will never have anything to do with him from now on."
Sorge was stunned. He didn't expect that Khayon actually left this last hand on him, but then he felt a little empty. After all, he was his creator.
"Why?"
"I don't know either. Maybe you are no longer useful to him, or maybe he is worried that he will not be able to come back."
"Where has the master gone?"
"I don't know either. You may be able to look for this problem yourself later, but right now I have other things to do."
Veronica walked to the dispatch stack, which was connected to all void shield generators, closed her eyes and stretched out her hand.
The next moment, as excessive current rushed towards the void shield generator in the center of the mechanical city, huge spiritual energy suddenly burst out, causing the huge current to stagnate for a few seconds and then suddenly crashed into the core structure of the void shield with unprecedented intensity, directly destroying the core structure of the void shield. Core components burned.
The intensity of this psychic energy was so great that all the instruments and meditators in the entire power center exploded with sparks and fell into a brief state of paralysis.
However, this was not the end. At the same time as the void shield generator was short-circuited, the hidden teleportation beacons were activated one after another. Dozens of teleportation beams shone down from the orbit. Veronica used the void shield spire as a fulcrum to prop up a The huge psychic guidance network accurately guides those transmission beams to the transmission beacons on the ground.
In the Mechanical Temple, Sorge watched all this happening in surprise, and became more and more curious about the origin of this Eldar lady. Although he had not had much contact with this kind of alien, he expected that a psyker of this strength should not be either. There will be more.
On the ground, Quintanilla's defenders didn't even realize what was happening. The void shield in the center of the city suddenly disappeared, and then a rain of fire fell from the sky——
The judgment of the empire has arrived.
