Chapter 2202 The Final Test

2203: The Final Test

The Infinity super aircraft carrier actually brought the pyramids here!

Seeing this scene, everyone was speechless.

Huang Yehao pointed at the plastic pyramid and said, "So, this is the method they found? To pack up an entire relic and bring it here? It seems that I should be thankful that we don't have the ability to move planets, otherwise I bet that what is being sent here must be an entire planet of Rafa V."

Shepard rubbed his temple and sighed, "I hope this helps."

When the Infinity's acting captain brought Dr. Yaco-Vesti from the Saru research team to the bridge of the Titan battleship Aegis, he didn't even bother to admire the grandeur and magnificence of the Titan battleship. Instead, he pointed at Shepard's nose and angrily cursed, "Is it you! Is it you! Bitch! It was you who was behind the scenes and made them dismantle the plastic pyramid! Is it? Is it!"

Shepard acted quickly, grabbed the finger that Yako was pointing at her, and gently twisted it, and Yako-Vesti squatted down with a scream.

She deadpanned, "I'm sorry, but the Mind Harp must now be used to defeat Mnggal-Mnggal."

"Do you know that you are destroying a brilliant civilization? The civilization of the Salu people once spread all over the galaxy! They were great, glorious, and prosperous! The Mind Harp contains all the knowledge and memories of the Salu people! And you use this artifact as a disposable weapon!?" Yaco-Vesti said loudly, "The Mind Harp is the hope for the Salu people to revive. You are destroying a race with your own hands!"

Shepard said calmly: "I'm sorry about this. If there is still a chance, I am willing to do my best to help the Saru people rebuild their civilization. But now, I can only say sorry... because there are more races in the galaxy that need to be saved. I can't let Mnggal-Mnggal wreak havoc in this galaxy."

"You are committing a crime!" Jaco Vesti squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

"Criminal?" Shepard suddenly felt a surge of anger. "You said I was committing a crime? Ah? Okay! Then I'll show you what a crime is!!"

She dragged Dr. Yako up from the ground, roaring, "I'll show you what crime is!!" She dragged him all the way and onto the Normandy.

Shepard patted Jeff Morrow, who was napping in the cockpit, and said, "Joker, go to the nearest planet!"

Jeff Morrow understood what was going on when he saw this. He straightened his cap that had just been patted aside and said, "Okay, Boss, you have the final say!"

The spacecraft flew directly to the planet closest to Krakuul that was swallowed by Mnggal-Mnggal. The Normandy entered the atmosphere directly. Shepard dragged Yakko-Vesdi from the shuttle and landed him on the ground.

Dr. Yaco got up and looked ahead, only to see a destroyed city. This city might have been so prosperous and well-developed, but now, only a gray ruin was left.

In the city, you can see countless silts flowing, and a large number of mummies wrapped in silts swaying. Upon noticing their arrival, these mummies and silts roared and rushed towards them.

Seeing such a horrific scene, Yaco-Vesti, who was making a lot of noise just now, was frightened. He hugged Shepard's thigh tightly and shouted, "Go! Go! Get out of here, get out of here!! Monsters... those monsters are coming!"

"Monsters?" Shepard sneered. She grabbed Yakko-Vesti and said, "They were once living people! They created their own cities, their own homes, their own countries, and their own civilizations! But now? Look at what this is! This is Mnggal-Mnggal, the God of Decay!! Look at what he has turned these brilliant civilizations into! Into mud! Into monsters! Into zombies!!!"

She became more and more excited, and at the end she almost roared, "Now tell me, what is a crime!!!? What, it's a fucking crime!!!"

Yaco-Vesti fell to the ground, looking at the mud and mummies coming in like a tsunami. His crotch was getting wet. "Go... Go... Help..."

The silt in the distance once again gathered into a hideous skull, which looked at this side coldly and said in a terrifying voice: "Hahahaha, is this a gift for me? A frightened human being... Hehe, this is not fun at all. In fact, what I care more about is your soul that wants to struggle even in despair... I have thought of at least ten thousand ways. I will torture you slowly for ten years... twenty years... fifty years... hahahahaha."

Seeing this huge skull, Yaco-Vesti was so scared that he peed and shit himself. But Shepard ignored the skull and waited until the mummies were about to rush in front of her before she took Dr. Yaco to the shuttle and returned to the Normandy.

Looking at the trembling archaeologist, Shepard has calmed down and said calmly: "Mnggal-Mnggal has destroyed countless civilizations and killed countless lives. Once infected by Mnggal-Mnggal, all living things on the planet, including birds in the sky and insects on the trees, will not be spared. And now, the Mind Harp is the only way I can think of... If we can't stop Mnggal-Mnggal, and let this disaster spread to the Milky Way, I think it won't be long before the entire Milky Way becomes what you see now."

Dr. Yako lowered his head and said nothing, still trembling.

Shepard grabbed his shoulders, turned him around, looked him in the eyes seriously, and said word by word: "Now tell me, how do I activate the Mind Harp?"

……

"In a nutshell, this largest plastic pyramid is an energy conversion device. And the Mind Harp is an energy focusing and amplifying device. Through methods unknown to us, the plastic pyramid transmits huge amounts of energy to the Mind Harp, which then dissipates it in some form. And I don't know what will happen next." Back on the Titan battleship God's Envoy, Dr. Yaco still looked a little listless, but at least he was not as resistant and angry as before.

"Your specious theory is meaningless. In short, just tell me, can you activate the Mind Harp?" Huang Yehao said.

Dr. Yako nodded. "I already know basically how to operate it. Also, the last time the Mind Harp was activated it was not complete, so there should still be some energy left in it. We can conduct an experiment."

"But what about after the experiment? How to recharge?" Shepard asked.

"This entire plastic pyramid is just an energy conversion device and does not contain any energy supply system. I also did a lot of research at the time and confirmed that from an altitude of 3000 meters downwards, there are only energy transmission pipelines and nothing else. The Mind Harp is built on a huge geothermal power station. Therefore, if we want to use it now, we can only get electricity from this Infinity-class super aircraft carrier." Dr. Yako said.

"What are the consequences?" Shepard asked again.

"The consequence is that once charging begins, the energy output of the Infinity will be very weak, which means that the combat effectiveness of this battleship will be greatly reduced." Dr. Yaco said.

"We can complete the charging in advance. The Mind Harp can store energy anyway."

"Original energy, yes. But I'm not sure if the energy transmitted from Infinity will work... I can only try."

Shepard frowned and said, "Anyway, now let's go inside the plastic pyramid and complete the experiment."

While they were talking, several scientists from Dr. Yako's team had already commanded the engineering spacecraft to fly over and install the mind harp on the top of the plastic pyramid.

The Infinity super aircraft carrier is now hovering over a desert on the planet Krakul, and the spacecraft has turned around and stood upright, making the plastic pyramid also stand upright.

Under the flexible control of the engineering spacecraft's robotic arm, the ever-changing mind harp was placed in the slot at the top of the pyramid, fitting perfectly without any error.

  However, at the moment when the Mind Harp returned to its place, before Dr. Yako could issue any order, a shock of energy instantly emanated from the Mind Harp at such an incredible speed that there was no time to react!

Immediately afterwards, the communication between the Titan battleship "God's Envoy" and the ground was completely cut off! !
