Chapter 465 Emperor's Dream

"Ah, this..." Russell somewhat unexpectedly extended his senses in the direction of Mars.

This red planet did not suffer any blow from the outside world. It was cracked from the inside. To be precise, it was exploded.

Powerful shock waves and unimaginable ultra-high energy levels erupted from the ancient pathways extending in all directions under the Mars underground, causing the rust-red mechanical planet to be split in half like a watermelon split open with bare hands, and circled in the orbit of Mars. The ring of steel on the ship also collapsed in this big explosion, along with Caul's newly built shipyard.

"Is it chaos?... No, no, I didn't feel any suspicious subspace fluctuations or traces of chaos pollution that crossed the critical value there. This is not a psychic explosion, but a simple material reaction."

Mars simply exploded, and a large number of fleets were also affected on the shipping lanes between Mars and Terra. For a time, the ecliptic plane of the solar system was covered with metal fragments and mechanical debris.

The solar system suddenly fell into chaos, and ‘enemy attack! ’, ‘There’s a shitty enemy attack...’ and other random shouts, the solar system defense fleet that was blown to pieces relied on its strict discipline to quickly reorganize and sail in the direction of Mars.

At this time, the scanning result of the tachyon sensor came out: "It's an antimatter explosion."

Gray Wind said calmly: "The physical properties of the liquid core of Mars were reversed in an instant. To put it simply, it turned into a pot of antimatter soup. The outer wall of the core was in contact with the mantle of Mars. The huge explosion destroyed this The planet was blown to pieces."

"But this is wrong..." Russell frowned: "If the liquid core of Mars was really converted into antimatter, then the explosion just now should not have only this power."

Antimatter annihilation is the material reaction with the highest mass-to-energy conversion efficiency known to mankind. It is currently the only one. To be precise, its mass-to-energy conversion efficiency is 100%.

For reference, the mass-to-energy conversion efficiency of nuclear fusion reactions is about 0.7%, which means that out of 1,000 grams of material participating in nuclear fusion reactions, about 7 grams will be converted into energy.

The value of antimatter annihilation is 100%. Among 1000 grams of matter participating in the reaction, these 1000 grams of matter will be completely converted into energy without any loss. If it is true, as Gray Feng said, that the entire liquid core of Mars was transformed into antimatter by inverting its physical properties, then the explosion just now was definitely more than this scale.

Not only Mars, but Terra will be blown to pieces.

"Because it is only the thin outer wall of the outermost layer of the core that triggers the annihilation of antimatter." Hui Feng explained: "The inversion state of the Martian core only lasted a short moment, and only the thin outer wall of the star core triggered the annihilation reaction. It's just a thin layer of matter, and after the big explosion just now, the core turned back into normal matter..."

How strange.

In other words, the core of Mars was temporarily reversed in physical properties by external interference. The duration of this interference was very short, but it was enough to completely blow up the ancient red planet.

So, who has the ability to interfere with the underlying structure of matter to this extent?

Russell already had the answer in his mind.

As Gray Wind spoke, the Sun Fleet rushing to the wreckage of Mars exploded one after another. The indestructible golden keel twisted and curled like kelp that had been squeezed out of its moisture, and was completely destroyed. Among the red ruins, the Dragon of the Void roared with his silver living metal body. , suddenly awakening from the mechanical debris in the sky.

【Void Dragon Mag'la droth】

He is a powerful star god who controls the most basic properties of matter. He is also the Dragon of Mars who has appeared in the dreams of countless Martian tech-priests. In ancient times, the young human emperor defeated the Void Dragon and sealed him in the eternal labyrinth underground on Mars. , until now.

"How did this thing escape..." Russell was a little confused for a moment. Is the Eternal sent by the Emperor to guard the Mars Labyrinth dead?

...Okay, maybe he is really dead. The void dragon has the ability to directly interfere with the properties of matter.

Russell shook his head, stood up from the chair, and stretched lazily towards the Sun Fleet that evaporated in the sea of ​​fire: "I just said that Mars will explode sooner or later. The Emperor sealed the Void Dragon under the ground of Mars. What’s the difference between hiding a hedgehog in your crotch? If it doesn’t hurt now, it will hurt sooner or later.”

After speaking, he stretched his body, and tiny currents circled Russell's fingertips: "Come on, let's wipe the emperor's butt."

But before Russell finished speaking, in the Terra Palace below the fleet, the towering star torch suddenly shone with light gold, and with the golden throne as the center, green flames spread.

"Well, the emperor may be shy, he decided to wipe his own butt." Russell, who had just stood up, sat down again.

The people of Terra, who were in chaos amid huge panic, suddenly saw a golden shadow appearing in the sky above Terra. It was a magnificent golden ship, with the fluttering eagle as its bow, the Emperor's Will is her skeleton, the gold and marble harvested from Terra are her flesh and blood, its hull carries magnificent statues and magnificent cities, the Emperor's war temples are spread across it, and engines from the Dark Age of Technology The group flashed with a cold blue light.

She pierced the atmosphere of Terra like a spear and hung high above the palace.

This is the vehicle of the Emperor of Mankind, which only appears in the classics of the state religion and myths and legends, the Imperator Somnium. Since the Horus Heresy, this golden ship has not appeared in public in front of the people of the Empire for 10,000 years.

And today, when Mars was destroyed by an unknown enemy, the Imperator Somnium appeared again.

Everyone on Terra cried bitterly and knelt down to pray. The guards guarding the palace discovered the movement of the golden throne. Then, a tall figure slowly stood up from the throne, took a step, and ascended to the sky.

It was just one step, and the god-like figure shrouded in golden light came to the bow of the Imperator Somnium.

Then, the Imperator Somnium dragged a dark blue stream of light across the sky of Terra, and the golden spear of the Emperor of Mankind stabbed the Void Dragon raging in the wreckage of Mars.

Trillions of imperial people on Terra witnessed the advent of the Emperor's miracle, and countless people fell into an incomparable faith fanaticism. Even the usually calm imperial guards were moved.

Seeing this scene, Russell's attitude could not help but become subtle.

He quietly leaned over and whispered to Gray Wind: "Gray Wind, do you feel anything strange?"

Gray Wind nodded: "I think the escape of the Void Dragon and the split of Mars seem to be directed and acted by the Emperor himself."

"That's not the case. Mars is too important. The Emperor will not destroy it personally. That would be a loss." Russell shook his head: "The Emperor may just take advantage of the opportunity of the Void Dragon's awakening to find a step down from the throne. As for the awakening of the Void Dragon itself, it should not be planned by Him personally."

"There are other reasons."
