On the Void Dragon, the spirit of the Supreme Prophet Salazar collapsed along with the Ark.

"Wrong, wrong! Everything is wrong. It was wrong from the beginning!"

"We shouldn't have summoned the Ark. We shouldn't have come here! We shouldn't have, we shouldn't have - I shouldn't have believed in the existence of the so-called Pure Land!"

"It's over. Hope is gone. The Pure Land is out of reach. We... No, I am a sinner. I am the only sinner, only me. I am a sinner, I am a sinner..."

"I am a sinner, I am a sinner..."

Salazar danced, cried, laughed, and acted like a madman.

All the Fordlan warriors fell into madness at the same moment, and the void continued to expand, and it would not stop until it swallowed up the entire Craft World.

The Russell of the past would never have been able to achieve such a large-scale subspace stripping, but now, he can do it.

The "Void" at this time is much more powerful than during the Faya Orc War. As time goes by, it continues to suck the endless energy of the Sea of ​​Souls, constantly expanding itself, and growing faster and faster.

To explain this expansion in a more abstract way:

The void is a sphere that is constantly expanding. The larger its volume expands, the larger the surface area of ​​the sphere - that is, the area in contact with the subspace - becomes. The speed at which it expands by sucking energy from the Sea of ​​Souls becomes faster and faster.

In short, the expansion of the void is an acceleration.

On the Moon of War, Russell could only create a psychic restricted area within the scope of the Throne Room, but now this range has reached the celestial level, enough to completely engulf the entire Ark World of Fordlan.

The Warrior Temple, the Crystal Jungle, the Prophet's Council Hall... After losing the support of energy and spiritual energy fields, the forbidden areas in the Ark collapsed one after another, and countless important facilities stopped operating one after another.

When the world collapsed, almost all of the Eldar population was conscripted to the front lines, leaving only a few technicians such as Bonesingers and Soul Prophets inside the Ark. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not repair even a single piece of spirit bone, and there was no way to save this collapse that had come from nowhere.

The good news is, there is no need to redeem it.

After the world shield of the Fordlan Arkworld dissipated and all defense and isolation measures were paralyzed, Russell called the teleportation beacon again and teleported himself back to the Colossus.

At the same time, the fully charged Colossus weapon: the Intelligence Reduction Beam, began to fire.

The surging light poured down like a waterfall, spreading from the top of the Ark downwards. Even though Russell had left, the emptied sea of ​​souls and the collapsed order were not so easy to recover. As the intelligence-reducing beam swept across the Ark World of Fordola, the Gray Gu mothership, which had been hiding outside the battle line, activated a short-distance jump and arrived next to the Colossus.

The activation of the weapon means the failure of the cloaking field. Grey Wind needs to be responsible for protecting the safety of Colossus and Russell after the target of the weapon launch is exposed - well, no protection is needed.

While the Eldar fleet was desperately rushing towards its collapsing homeland, the Zerg controlled by Russell also mobilized all its forces. The Zerg battle formations that covered the sky and the earth continued to overwhelm the frenzied Fordlan warriors, dragging them into the abyss of despair with decomposition fluid and tentacles.

Using Colossus weapons to destroy a planet is a long process. In addition, the structure of the Ark world is several orders of magnitude more complex than that of an ordinary planet, so the time required is even more terrifying.

Fortunately, there were not many Eldar left on the Fódlan Craft World at this time, and they were all gathered together. The Mind Reduction Beam easily swept across the entire Craft World, locking and engulfing them. Grey Wind cooperated with the Zerg to annihilate the remaining Eldar escort fleet.

The beam of light that enveloped the entire Ark gradually went out, and the Colossus returned to standby mode. The calm space was no longer scarlet, and the remains of the spirit bones floating around explained a fact:

The Eldar of the Ark of Fordlan have been destroyed and the war is over.

Countless Zerg living warships landed on the dead Ark World, and tides of Zerg poured into this collapsed death world from every direction, recovering the usable resources and some special items on it for Russell, and most importantly - those Eldar individuals who were forced to degenerate into unintelligent species by the dementia beams.

The teleportation light lit up again, and after a short absence, Russell arrived at the Ark World again.

The nano armor covering his body still showed no sign of detaching. Grey Wind assisted him in his movements as he walked forward surrounded by the Zerg combat units, and asked, "Marshal, have you found the dangerous device that the Eldar wanted to activate?"

"Of course it's in there," Russell said with certainty.

In front of him, countless hideous insects were crawling back and forth on the corpse of the Ark World. These swarms of insects were not controlled by Coronia. The supreme consciousness that commanded them was Russell himself. Therefore, every individual in the swarm was an extension of Russell's consciousness.

After the Zerg went deep into the interior of the Ark World, he found the dangerous device that even the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark felt was extremely uncontrollable.

The insects that came one after another used their sharp claws and fangs to open a path for Russell in the ruins, and he walked in. The place he was going to was deep in the heart of the Ark World. Even though he used teleportation spells several times to shorten the distance, it took Russell nearly an hour to reach his destination.

Finally, Russell came to a triangular cave formed by a collapsed spirit bone frame.

"There used to be a very powerful spiritual energy here. The world soul of the Ark world set up multiple layers of seals here, and there are special war witches to guard it." Russell said, bending down and crawling into the triangular hole in front of him: "Does it look familiar to you?"

"This level of strictness is almost as strict as my blockade of the Core of Rectification." Huifeng still had lingering fears.

"Of course. The Eldar once wanted to rely on a device in here to get rid of the Zerg and re-isolate the miniature galaxy from this universe. No matter how you look at it, that thing is definitely not a simple thing." Russell's tone was relaxed. Under the guidance of a Hive Tyrant, he slowly passed through the tunnel dug by the Zerg and entered the forbidden area that had been blocked by the Eldar.

"Let's see what the Eldar are counting on to turn the tables. Is it some forbidden artifact from the ancient Eldar Empire? Or a legacy from the Old Saints? Or - what the hell."

When Russell actually saw the "device" for the first time, he was so shocked that he spoke in his hometown dialect.

Because it was not some forbidden artifact created by the ancient elves, and it had nothing to do with psychic power or spirit. Even the most basic style of painting was incompatible with this ark world built of spirit bones.

In the center of the forbidden area, several Eldar soul prophets who had fallen into coma due to the intelligence-reducing beams, dozens of bone chanters, scholars and other technical personnel were lying or crouching in all directions, all surrounding three broken transparent crystal clusters.

Imprisoned within the crystal cluster was a precision instrument about 3.14 meters tall and in the shape of a ring. It looked very much like a particle accelerator model, or a micro collider? And underneath the ring-shaped instrument was a completely transparent cubic device with a side length of a little over 3 meters.

This is not a technological creation of the Eldar at all, and has nothing to do with the Ancient Saints.

Because this thing belongs to human beings.

The Hive Tyrant brought an unconscious Eldar scholar to Russell. Russell took a deep breath to calm himself down and began to read the scholar's deep memories. The brain structure of the intelligent creature that was forcibly degenerated by the intelligence-reducing beam was not destroyed, so it was possible to be upgraded again.

Through the memories of the Eldar scholars, Russell learned the name and origin of this human device.

Chapter 103 The Lost Man

When moving the creations of the Star Technology Tree to this universe, Russell always used excuses like "legacy of the technological dark ages" to fool the Mechanical Society, forcing himself to give it rationality.

And now, he had truly found a human legacy from the technological dark ages.

"This is an extremely powerful and extremely dangerous weapon. It was originally installed on the war flagship of ancient humans as the main weapon." Russell exhaled the air he had inhaled before, and looked away from the ring-shaped instrument and cast his eyes on the transparent cube connected to the bottom of the instrument: "And this is the AI ​​artificial intelligence core that controls the war flagship and the main weapon."

The connection between the ring instrument and the transparent cube was very crude and sloppy. Russell understood the reason. It was because the Eldar failed to understand the overly powerful and mysterious technology of the Dark Ages of Humanity.

He walked forward, stood under the broken crystal cluster, stared at the silent AI core, and explained to Grey Wind:

"The Eldar Empire had many contacts and conflicts with the ancient humans during the Dark Age of Technology, and even several wars broke out."

"And in the greatest conflict ever recorded in Eldar history, the Eldar Empire paid a heavy price and narrowly missed destroying a very precious war flagship of the human race."

"After the war, the Eldar dismantled the ship's main weapon and artificial intelligence core, trying to study and decipher the incredible time technology."

Yes, the purpose of this weapon is to interfere with time.

"Did the elves of the Fordlan Ark intend to rely on this thing to break through the impasse just now?" Gray Wind was a little confused.

"Yes, because it is a time weapon."

Russell looked up at the ring-shaped machine mounted on the crystal cluster and said:

"Humans in the Dark Age of Technology are particularly good at time technology. They are good at using the technology of manipulating time to counter the Eldar's ability to predict the future. The function of this weapon is to rewind time on a large scale."

"The Eldar Empire failed to crack the secrets of human time technology until its own collapse. The authority to activate the weapon was also in the hands of the AI, but they still developed a rather crude way to use this weapon - connecting the weapon to the artificial intelligence core and then overloading the system, forcibly activating it at the cost of the weapon's own structural collapse."

"The Eldar intend to use this method to reverse the time of the entire Lost Dreams Cluster, restoring the miniature galaxy to its intact state. They themselves can then ride the tide of time with the Craft World and enter the new universe within the miniature galaxy, gaining freedom from then on."

At this point, Russell felt a little scared.

Fortunately, he acted quickly, otherwise if the Eldar had successfully activated the time weapon, even he would have entered the miniature galaxy along with this group of cowardly bean sprouts.

"No wonder you said before that once the Eldar successfully activate a certain dangerous device, the entire Lost Dream Nebula and us will no longer exist in this universe." Gray Wind suddenly realized: "So this is what you meant?"

Then, Gray Wind said, "I wonder if this weapon can be used by us?"

The power of the time weapon is so strong that no one would miss the opportunity to use it, and Russell is no exception.

"The control of the time weapon belongs to this former battleship AI. We can start from here." Russell clapped his hands lightly: "Before that, we should leave."

Two powerful Hive Tyrants walked from behind him to the crystal cluster cage, and the two insects carried the ring-shaped time weapon and the transparent cube-shaped artificial intelligence core respectively.

Russell left the Arkworld of Fordlan with two human relics from the Dark Ages of Technology.

After Russell left, a huge Zerg biological mothership emerged from the nebula and docked above the corpse of the Ark World. The Zerg was still doing the dismantling work. The bodies of the Eldar and Zerg who died in the previous war were all recycled as biomass raw materials without any waste.

The Eldar individuals whose intelligence had been reduced to unintelligent species, as well as the few Fordlan warriors who were lucky enough to survive the serious injuries, were also swallowed into the flesh of the biological mothership and trained according to Russell's plan. Compared to exhausting the pond and burning it to dust, these Eldar could provide Russell with more and greater benefits after being tamed.

After finishing the war on his own, Russell also learned about the war situation in other areas on his way back:

Thanks to the timely reinforcement, the Imperial Army commanded by Alexi was able to temporarily suppress the two-pronged attack of the Eldar offensive force with a not-so-good casualty ratio. It was said temporarily because in the end they were still unable to suppress it.

A battered Eldar destroyer finally broke through the Imperial defenses and launched a suicide attack on the main gate of the L-Gate in Faya. After being teleported to Faya through the stargate, it detonated the singularity reactor in the core of the destroyer without hesitation, blowing its body and the left hand of the Guide Statue into pieces.

Even though the Order of Truth, prepared for the worst, successfully repaired the main gate in the first place using the nanorobots left to them by Grey Wind, the failed battle in which the Emperor's statue was not defended was still considered a great humiliation by the Imperial Army, and countless Ecclesiarch priests collapsed and cried on the battlefield.

The commander of the Crimson Upstarts fell into a state of madness because of this. He led his personal guards into the enemy camp and hacked indiscriminately. He was almost trapped and died. In the end, it was the Iron Wanderers who drove interceptors to rescue them at all costs.

"They failed to defend it... It's a pity, but it's not their fault. I provided the Iron Wanderer with many advanced fighters, but they are just a drop in the bucket on a battlefield of this level. It's a miracle that they were able to keep the Star Gate for so long in the hands of the Eldar with their strange actions."

Russell shook his head and asked another question that concerned him more: "What about Miraak? The Flame of Repentance Regiment should also be participating in the battle. The enemy has already reached the home planet. Even if they rest and recuperate, they will have to get up with their swords, right?"

Grey Wind shook his head. "No, Miraak is missing, along with the remaining 38 veterans of the Flame of Repentance. The Inquisition is still looking for them everywhere."

"Missing?" Russell couldn't help but say, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"Okay." Gray Wind nodded, came to sit next to Russell, and said:

"At the beginning of the war, when the Eldar launched the main attack on the two star systems of Xihe and Aurora at the same time, Miraak, the commander of the Fire of Repentance, and 38 veterans of the chapter disappeared mysteriously without any warning."

"The Mechanicus said that Miraak asked them for two light strike boats and a missile destroyer before he disappeared. Then he disappeared without a word and there has been no news since then, until now."

"Because Mirak's disappearance coincided with the time when the Eldar attacked Faya, and the Flame of Repentance had previously fired at the Wayfinder Statue, the Inquisition believed that the Flame of Repentance had deserted the battlefield and betrayed the Empire."

"There are also radical elements who have sent petitions to Alexei and the Ministry of Military Affairs, hoping to remove the heretic chapter of the Flame of Repentance from the organization and replace it with other chapters capable of protecting the Emperor to be stationed in Faya."

This situation was not very good, especially when Russell knew that Mirak was a loyal person. Russell frowned as he listened, and subconsciously clenched his fists, with doubts and worries in his heart.

Gray Wind lowered his head, held Russell's palms with both hands, straightened his clenched fingers one by one, and said softly, "You are a little nervous, Marshal, what's wrong?"

Russell then realized his mistake, so he smiled at Gray Wind and said, "I once saw that one day in the future, Mirak would give me some crucial help in a certain matter, but now he is missing..."

The situation, which had been relatively clear at first, immediately became complicated, which he had not foreseen.

"Huh?" Gray Wind blinked, his expression full of surprise: "So this is not the Marshal's rhetoric to fool them? It's actually true?"

"Of course it's true..." Russell pinched Gray Wind's face with one hand, making it look like it was crying.

It would be fine if it was really just a scam.

"Anyway, let's go back to Faya first, and then find a way to find out the reason why Mirak disappeared and where he went." Russell let go of his hand, allowing the half crying face on Gray Wind's cheek to return to its original state.

Russell couldn't help but laugh at himself as he watched himself overreact because the prophecy seemed to be wrong.

He suddenly thought of the two Primarchs who had the same ability to predict the future as himself: Sanguinius and Konrad Curze. Both of them believed in their prophecies to the point of obsession, but as a result, one of them was betrayed by Horus, and the other was turned into a space bottle.

Now I don’t seem to be much different from them, just like a clown.

Is it true that the human mind is incapable of harnessing the power of God?

Grey Wind opened his eyes wide and looked at Russell's face. He didn't quite understand. He had just defeated the Eldar of the Fordlan Ark and obtained treasures such as the time weapon and the ancient artificial intelligence core. Instead of being happy, the marshal became a little lost because of the disappearance of dozens of genetically modified people.

After thinking for a while, Gray Wind carefully held Russell's hand, placed it on his face, and pinched out half a crying face.
