The old bird walked up to a spider-like robot that only had a head and a leg left.

A mechanical tentacle attached to the spine extended and picked up the spider's head.

A data probe is inserted into the mechanical skull to read the robots' data and obtain intelligence.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

“Let’s go, the answer might be inside.” Caul looked into the depths of the ruins shrouded in darkness.

According to the blueprints left behind by Lava City, they are already very close to the core area, and it will take them at most half an hour to arrive.

Several more battles were fought along the way.

The enemies are all modified servants and androids.

There are various beast-like robots and deformed combat automatons.

There are also humanoid killing machines dressed in mimicry disguises.

A palm-sized drone that can fire lasers

A worm-like machine that is several tens of centimeters tall but has sharp limbs.

They kept pouring out, trying to stop the players' progress.

Unfortunately, they all failed.

The players stepped over the wreckage and debris and arrived at the core of Lava City.

However, the place was not a ruin as they had imagined; instead, it was rebuilt by some force.

After climbing through a corridor piled with metal debris,

A metal city built underground appears before the player.

The roar of geothermal engines echoed from deep within the city.

You can see a surging flow of energy flowing through the pipes, emitting a bright glow that illuminates the dark underground.

"How come there's a city here?" the veteran asked, sounding somewhat surprised. "Wasn't Lava City destroyed during the Horus Rebellion?"

"I don't know either!!" Caul's otherwise pale, metallic face showed a look of bewilderment.

“Let’s go, the answer might be in the city,” Wu Mou said.

"There may be a fierce and bloody battle."

"Come on, who is the final boss? I'm itching to find out."

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Charge! Charge!"

"........."

Filled with excitement, the players stepped into the underground city.

The magnificent buildings remained deathly silent; every single one was empty.

The deeper they went, the more confused they became. What exactly was going on?

Why is there a city in the core of the lava city, which should be ruins?

Why are these modified servants and androids here?

Players will explore and occasionally encounter omnipotent machines and modified servants, engaging in battles with them.

But veterans and others always manage to win easily.

After another battle, they arrived at the center of the city.

A magnificent hemispherical building appeared before them.

As they stepped inside, they were stunned by what they saw.

A dense network of cables hangs from the spherical dome, intricately intertwined to form a large net.

At the heart of this large net is a glowing metal sphere.

"What the hell is this?" the veteran exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Don't tell me this is the Akashic Reader."

Kaul initiated a scan, performing a comprehensive analysis of the sphere.

"This sphere appears to be the Akashic Reader, but it's combined with something else."

The Great Sage walked over and stood on a data node.

He then pulled a data cable out of his body.

At the end of the cable, countless silver threads extended, spread, and twisted.

Kaul placed the data cable on the metal control panel.

The silver thread at the end then grows automatically, connects to the data node, and begins reading information.

He first replaced the bullets in the bomb gun, and then guarded the Great Sage together with his servant.

Veteran players and the reckless ones stared at Kaul in astonishment.

As expected of a great sage, he has many methods.

The metallic sphere changed; its smooth surface disappeared, revealing countless interlocking gears in operation.

At the same time, it extends tentacles equipped with interface pillars and molecular collectors, absorbing basic elements and information from the air.

Just as the players were marveling at the unusual state of the original metal,

The dull sound of footsteps came from the darkness, drawing the players' attention back.

Five massive fighter soldiers appeared and issued a warning, demanding that the intruders leave immediately.

"Is this the BOSS?"

"Judging from this design, it looks like a Domita-type intelligent machine soldier."

"I heard that Peturabo's Iron Ring Robot was built based on the Domita-type intelligent mechanical soldier."

"Scatter, scatter."

"Watch out for its beams and missiles."

The players naturally wouldn't obediently leave.

They immediately sprang into action, scattering and taking cover behind bunkers.

Fire at the androids to protect the Great Sage from harm while he reads the data.

Domita-type mechs were assault-type mechs introduced by the Mechanicus during the later stages of the Great Expedition.

It possesses a frame system that can both absorb impact and incorporate internal armor.

This allows it to rampage through enemy lines like a tank, easily crushing ordinary people.

It also possesses a gravity hammer directly connected to the reactor; the destructive force of this weapon can easily destroy enemy tanks.

Even the fearless could only manage a draw when facing them.

However, as these intelligent mechanical soldiers enter service...

Other factions within the empire grew wary of the Mechanicus.

Production of this series of omnipotent units ceased after the Horus Rebellion.

I just don't know why there are five of them here!

The combat capability of the five Domita mechs is beyond doubt.

Peturabo's modified iron ring robots, based on these prototypes, can even suppress the originals.

These five Domita mechs cooperated very well, possessed intelligence comparable to humans, and fought with fearlessness.

Normally, they would be sufficient to deal with any creature that enters this area.

Even the Astartes would suffer heavy casualties.

Unfortunately, they encountered players—a group that finds pleasure in war and death and frequently resorts to self-destruction.

After a series of brutal battles, the players were either dead or wounded.

In the end, seven players sacrificed themselves to completely destroy the five Domita mechs, blasting them into pieces.

At this time, Kaul also finished reading the data.

They learned why this city was located here, and the identity of the metallic sphere.

“This thing,” Caul pointed to the metallic sphere, “is a fusion of the Akashic Reader and the Myriad Thoughts.”

Veteran: "…………"

Wu Mou: "…………"

What kind of weird combination is this?

How could the Akashic Reader, powered by psionic energy, and the soulless omnipotent machine, the Myriad Thoughts, be fused together?

The Ever-Changing Mindset is a technological masterpiece of humanity's golden age, an incredibly advanced artificial intelligence system.

A cold and computationally sophisticated logic engine that constantly absorbs, strengthens, and replicates anything in its path.

The Book of Changes was discovered by Primarch Ferrus Manus in the central region of the Limitless Starfield during the Great Crusade, and was subsequently handed over to the Mechanicus for management.

This thing is so advanced that if you threw it in front of the Tau people, those blue-skinned people would weep bitterly, feeling that their AI was like primitive Tau that had never evolved.

"This is a long story, it begins with the Horus Rebellion..."

Kaul began to recount the whole story.

………………

A secluded mansion in Terra.

Former Minister of the Interior – Iltu Hitmon.

Former Pope Bardo Sleist,

Former navigator family representative – Jora Rama,

In addition, there is the current Minister of Justice, Avilisa Drakma.

Field Marshal Moore A. Shalil

Admiral Mereday Perez

The master assassin – Fadix.

These were all people who once stood at the highest point of the imperial power system.

Now, they gather together in various forms, such as in real people or through holographic projections.

"We can't wait any longer; the sage is constantly shrinking our space."

"We can no longer sit idly by and wait for our demise. Reforms must stop, or everything will fall into an abyss."

Iltu Simotern spoke first.

Qin Yun's series of actions made him realize that his original plan was completely collapsing.

Guilliman intended to gain prestige by cracking down on cults, thereby undermining Guilliman's administrative foundations and restoring Terra to its former state.

But the other party's ability to act was stronger than he had imagined.

Things are starting to get out of control.

“What should we do?” Baldo Sleist asked.

“Take control of the situation on Terra and restore everything to its original state,” Iltu Simotern said. “The Minotaur Chapter will obey our orders, and many families are also on our side. This is a powerful force.”

"If we cannot save Terra, then let Terra burn."

"Only a raging fire can cleanse all sin and depravity."

"Only by returning to the old political model can the empire survive."

"You want us to start a rebellion?" Drachmar frowned.

"Failure is called betrayal; success is called revolution."

"It's either resist or die; we have no other choice."

Iltu Simotern spoke with a firm tone, his eyes flashing with madness, revealing an ambitious look.
