The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 457: Splitting the Star God Fragments! Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors! Chain of Suspicion!

In the field of psychic energy, the Universe Corporation has Amon and Kerrigan, two gods from the void plane, in charge, so it should not be difficult to suppress the Void Dragon.

But Song Zhaomei was not sure about the power level of the Void Dragon, so she still needed the Emperor to come and help.

If Amon and Kerrigan could control the Void Dragons, and contain them using some Warp-powered device, then the Cosmic Enterprise would no longer need the Emperor's help.

Otherwise, the Emperor needs to sort out the fragments of the Void Dragon first, and then find a way to contain it.

As long as the Void Dragon fragment can be placed in a safe and controllable universe, even if it escapes, it will sooner or later be captured by the giant enterprise's fleet. After all, there are no other star god fragments in other universes.

"Just keep it in mind. If you have any problems, I will always help you." The emperor nodded.

The power of the Star God fragments is indeed extraordinary, but compared to the God Emperors walking on earth, the Void Dragon is still inferior, unless it is a Star God who has gathered all the fragments.

Roar--! !

As time went by, Paul and the others didn't know how far they had walked in the secret realm. At first, they would stop and pause in the illusion for a while, but then they gradually got used to the illusion and developed resistance to it.

"Here we are."

At this time, the Emperor and Malcador, who were walking in front, stopped at the same time, but Paul and others clearly saw that there was still a road ahead, so how could this be the place where the Void Dragon was imprisoned.

"We're here already? That can't be right." Xu Shiming looked at the surrounding environment and felt that there was no change here from when he first came in. Where was the Void Dragon?

"Have you heard of the Möbius strip? This secret place has no end or beginning. There are only a few hundred joints connecting the real world, the virtual world, and the area where the Void Dragon is imprisoned."

“If someone accidentally breaks in here without permission, he will just keep wandering around in the secret realm and will never be able to get out.”

Makado patiently explained to everyone.

Hearing this, Xu Shiming nodded thoughtfully. The ghost wall in traditional Chinese stories might be based on a similar principle. He didn't expect that the emperor had such a skill.

Immediately, the emperor skillfully found a wall and made a gesture. The originally hard and thick wall suddenly became soft, and ripples appeared like the surface of a lake.

"Follow me." The emperor said and walked in first.

The others followed closely behind, and as soon as they came in, they saw a huge dragon hovering in the void. The dragon's body seemed to be covered with a layer of special substance, which seemed to be made up of scales that were glowing with a faint light.

In addition, the Void Dragon is surrounded by an energy halo, showing a variety of colors such as blue, purple, red, and dark green. Coupled with its slender and powerful appearance, the Void Dragon looks particularly oppressive.

This space, independent of the real universe, is where the Void Dragon is sealed. In this dark and empty alien space, dazzling visions constantly flash.

Here, there is no reference point to allow people to feel the scale of time and space. The distorted and changing unreal scenes make people feel as if they are in a dream.

Even though Xu Shiming was standing more than ten kilometers away from the Void Dragon, he could still feel the Void Dragon's breathing and the noise coming from its body while it was sleeping.

In fact, there are quite a few dragon-like creatures in the Universe Corporation, but this is the first time they have seen a dragon as huge as the Void Dragon.

Not to mention that this dragon is a "god"!

"Malcador, you stay here and protect them. I'll go wake it up."

After saying this, the Emperor flew up from the spot and flew towards the Void Dragon that was sealed in the sky. He whispered a spell, and the words immediately turned into tangible power, awakening the Void Dragon with runes glowing with golden light.

At that moment, the Void Dragon opened its huge pupils and let out an angry roar. The roar was so loud that it almost shattered the space, and thunder and lightning continued to explode on its body.

Malcador raised the staff in his hand with a solemn expression and summoned an energy shield to block the residual energy emitted by the Void Dragon.

Zizzi——!
Dense thunder and lightning struck down, covering every corner of the space, and dazzling white light continued to explode on the shield held up by Makado.

"This is the core of the Eternal Night Labyrinth. Ten thousand years ago, the Emperor sealed the Void Dragon here. After so many years, it is still so noisy."

Makado joked, then glanced at the people from the global giants to see their reactions.

Surprisingly, the senior executives of the giant company, including Song Zhaomei, did not show any panic. They seemed to have been accustomed to it and were used to this scene.

This gave Machado a new understanding of Song Zhaomei, Xu Shiming and others. These people are not simple.

Here, the Emperor ignored the arcs of lightning that were striking him and flew slowly towards the Void Dragon.

At this moment, the Void Dragon is still restricted to its original position. It must be here that the seal imposed on it by the Emperor is located. Looking at the human in front of it who is countless times smaller than itself, the Void Dragon's eyes are full of fear.

The scene of being sealed by the Emperor is still vivid in the Void Dragon's mind. He doesn't know what the Emperor wants to do this time.

"It's you again. It's not enough that you have imprisoned me in this shabby place. What are you planning to do now? Have you found another way to kill me? Haha, you don't have that ability."

The language of the Void Dragon is a cacophony of syllables and screeches, but the Emperor understands its words.

The Emperor ignored the Void Dragon and raised his hand, and the Void Dragon floated uncontrollably into the sky. In the deepest part of this eternal night maze, a crack appeared out of nowhere, and the light from outside poured down.

Seeing this, the Void Dragon immediately realized that the Emperor was planning to take it out, and it struggled hard, trying to break free from the Emperor's control, but this move was doomed to be futile.

"Don't you want to be free? Now I'll give you a chance."

The Emperor originally thought that the Void Dragon would try every means to escape from the Eternal Night Labyrinth, but the situation was just the opposite. It would rather stay here than go out again.

It seems that being a stay-at-home is addictive. Even the Void Dragon doesn't want to go out easily after sleeping in the maze for too long.

The Void Dragon struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but it could not get rid of the psychic seal placed on it by the Emperor. With a strong push from the Emperor, the Void Dragon flew out of the maze and headed straight for Mars.

At the same time, Malcador, Paul and others immediately took the airship to leave the maze. In a star field somewhere on Mars, a star gate had already been opened, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Emperor and others.

Soon, the Void Dragon was thrown into the Star Gate by the Emperor. The sages of the Mechanicus of Mars felt something during this period, but because the time was too short, they did not understand where this vague feeling came from.

At this moment, the Emperor and the Megacorp scientific expedition team have passed through the star gate and arrived at the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe!
half a month later.

After a period of device adjustment and improvement, the fragments of the Void Dragon were divided into different parts by the Universal Corporation using Xeelee night fighters and the help of the Emperor.

Each part of the Void Dragon fragments represents their own knowledge and technological power, related to the biological field, the space field, the time field...

It is too troublesome and energy-consuming to directly build a device that can imprison the fragments of the Void Dragon. It will be much simpler after splitting it.

At this moment, the small fragments of the Void Dragon, which were imprisoned in 12 different stasis field prisons, each roared with impotence.

The original fragment of the Void Dragon was originally part of a complete body, and now it has been cut into twelve pieces by the Universal Corporation, which makes the small fragments weaker and easier to control.

But even so, the Void Dragon fragments still show a bad temper and are difficult to communicate with. These fragments have their own personalities, but their attitudes towards humans are all very bad and they refuse to cooperate.

"Damn you humans! Do you think you can make us surrender by doing this? If you have the guts, keep cutting."

One of the Void Dragon fragments roared angrily and kept screaming at Song Zhaomei.

Thanks to the language analysis of the Infinite Divine Machine AI, the Universal Corporation completely mastered the language of the Star God Clan in just three hours, and the two sides were able to communicate normally.

Faced with the Void Dragon's uncooperative behavior, Song Zhaomei was not anxious. She was not afraid of the Void Dragon getting angry, but she was afraid that the Void Dragon would remain silent and not even want to speak.

Now that the Void Dragon Fragment still has the energy to curse, it means there is a chance for communication.

"Void Dragon No. 3, the place you are in now is no longer the original universe. Whether you believe it or not, you cannot change the fact that you have been captured by the giant enterprise."

Song Zhaomei first explained to the Void Dragon its current situation, which made the grief-stricken Void Dragon gradually calm down, and it began to re-examine its environment.

The stasis force field built by the Universal Corporation for it was just a ten-square-meter special cage, which was undoubtedly a very cramped and depressing environment for the Void Dragon, which was used to flying in the clouds and swallowing the stars. It couldn't even stretch its muscles freely. Facing this indestructible cage, Void Dragon Fragment No. 3 felt extremely aggrieved, but helpless.

People are the butchers and it is the fish.

"The glory of the Star God family can no longer be restored. You should have been a defective product buried in the long river of time. However, your knowledge can still be of some help to us, so I came here to talk to you face to face."

Song Zhaomei looked coldly at Void Dragon No. 3 who was restless in the stasis field, and said, "If you actively cooperate with our work, we can consider moving you to a more comfortable place."

"Otherwise, you will have to stay here forever, existing as a backup power bank for the giant company. If you don't want to be drained of energy and disappear out of thin air, you'd better be honest."

Song Zhaomei's words immediately angered Void Dragon No. 3. What do you mean by moving to a more comfortable place? Can't you just let it go?

"Don't even think about it. I will never cooperate with you!"

Void Dragon No. 3 roared, looking stubborn.

Seeing this, Song Zhaomei didn't waste any words and immediately left with her assistant and headed to the area where other void dragons were.

Void Dragon No. 3 was stunned. He was leaving just now? Shouldn't he make new conditions and continue the negotiation? This was different from what he expected.

Deng!
The door of Stasis Field Prison No. 3 was closed, leaving the confused Void Dragon once again trapped in endless darkness.

On the other hand, the other eleven Void Dragon fragments also encountered persuasion from the executives of the giant company, including the Emperor himself who personally participated in the communication with the Void Dragon.

But without exception, these Void Dragon fragments refused to cooperate. As star gods, even small fragments had endless life.

Even if the world's giant corporations wanted to drain their energy, it would take thousands of years, and at worst they would be drained.

However, the executives of the giant company do not intend to do so. The giant company already has enough power plants and there will be no shortage of energy.

There is no point in squeezing out all the Void Dragon fragments.

What they want is each other's knowledge and all the scientific and technological information.

In order to get the result as soon as possible, Xu Shiming proposed the strategy of "two peaches kill three warriors", and told all the Void Dragon fragments that whoever provides useful knowledge and valuable information to the Universal Giant Enterprise first will get the points first.

When the points value reaches a certain level, the Void Dragon fragment will receive corresponding rewards.

For example, a larger stasis field cage, a certain amount of space for movement, regaining freedom, devouring other star god fragments, until being completely free and able to move freely in the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe.

As long as the facilities and buildings of the giant company are not destroyed, the Void Dragon can go wherever it wants, provided that it is limited to the 003 universe.

This strategy is extremely cruel.

This is equivalent to whoever speaks out what he knows first and says the most, will become the Void Dragon individual that remains. No one wants to fall behind and become the one to be devoured.

Therefore, once the chain of suspicion is formed, all resistance will be completely disintegrated in an instant, and freedom will be reorganized into a single Void Dragon. This is naturally a great temptation for the twelve Void Dragon fragments.

At first, most of the Void Dragons showed disdain, thinking that other Void Dragon fragments would not be so easily fooled, but there were always some Void Dragons who wanted to test the authenticity.

After Song Zhaomei conveyed the images of the coordination of the other Void Dragon fragments to the silent Void Dragon, a coordinated action of exposing knowledge and rushing to cooperate could no longer be controlled.

In order to be the first to leave the prison, the twelve Void Dragon fragments desperately provided the known knowledge and technology points to the employees of the giant company.

"I have talked to the Void Dragon countless times, but I have never seen it reveal so much information. I think you have a way."

The emperor saw this scene from the surveillance footage and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He really didn't know how the executives of the world's giant companies had developed such skills that they could take down such a tough bone in just half a day.

"This is also inseparable from your help. If we hadn't cut the Void Dragon into twelve pieces first, it would have been difficult for us to deal with a single Void Dragon."

Song Zhaomei responded modestly, but when she talked about how she developed these skills, Li Ang's image involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Who else could it be? It could only be their Governor Leon who taught him personally.

After successfully obtaining the fragments of the Void Dragon, the Emperor did not rush back to the Warhammer universe, but stayed in the 003 Edge of Tomorrow universe to continue his previously unfinished visit.

"Director Song Zhaomei, can we speed up the visit? I want to meet your Supreme Governor as soon as possible."

The emperor requested sincerely that he had long wanted to meet this legendary figure, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to have a detailed face-to-face conversation with him.

Just when the emperor thought Song Zhaomei would nod and agree to his request, the other party replied uncharacteristically: "I'm sorry, our consul never accepts meetings with strangers."

Stranger? He had communicated so much with the world's giants, so could he still be considered a stranger?

The emperor was puzzled at first, wondering why Song Zhaomei suddenly did this, but he soon realized the key point, which was that he had not yet officially joined the giant company!

Only by joining the camp of a giant enterprise can you become a part of it and not be considered a stranger.

If it were someone else, they would probably get angry on the spot after hearing what Song Zhaomei said, but the emperor only paused for a second before reacting.

"Manager Song, what else do I need to do for the giant company before you are willing to let me officially join the giant company?"

The emperor knew that he had to make some kind of token of his loyalty before he could join the giant corporation. All his previous dealings with the corporation were based on the exchange of resources.

Resource exchange is not the same as a pledge of allegiance.

What comes next is the real test!

"Your Excellency the Emperor, you are very smart. Since we are all smart people, I will not hide it from you. I came here with a mission this time."

Song Zhaomei simply went straight to the point and told the emperor the plan arranged by Li Ang.

"Thanks to the space-time technology provided by the AI ​​Iron Man of the Golden Age, we have filled in the key gaps in the theory of time and can open up the 'parallel universe' of the same universe through the star gate."

Song Zhaomei inexplicably brought up something about the parallel universe, which made the emperor feel a little confused and puzzled. Weren't they talking about the next mission and the letter of surrender?

What does this have to do with parallel universes?

What's more, with the strength of the giant cosmic enterprise, even if it opens more parallel universes of the same universe, it is just a small matter, and what it gets is nothing more than more territory.

Could it be that the governor of the Universal Corporation intends to let him take over a universe on his own as a token of his joining the corporation? But is it really meaningful to do so?

"Manager Song, I don't understand what you mean by telling me about the parallel universe. Does it have anything to do with the next mission?" The emperor couldn't help but ask.

"of course."

Song Zhaomei nodded and patiently explained to the Emperor: "We decided to open a parallel universe in the Warhammer universe and find a way to completely solve the subspace problem."

Prior to this, the head of the scientific hub of the Universal Corporation had proposed the idea of ​​using the ether phase engine to evacuate the subspace, but with the current technical experience, it is too early to build an ether phase engine.

Moreover, even if the subspace was emptied, it would likely cause other more serious disasters.

After so many times of unification of the universe, both Le Ang and other executives of giant companies have gradually realized that each universe has its own "balance mechanism".

The binary opposition between good and evil, and the balanced equilibrium between the positive and negative sides, can bring the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

Therefore, blowing up the subspace and directly emptying out the demons in the subspace is obviously an unrealistic approach.
