Chapter 455 The Unsolvable Enemy
"It's actually them!"
"This is really... I won the lottery."
…
Looking at the golden body in the projection, Ma Liu and others felt creepy for some reason, and they were surprised to find that the expressions of Yang Hui and others became quite ugly, even with a hint of fear.
"What on earth is this?" Malu asked.
"It's called festum. It's a creature from a different dimension, between existence and nothingness. It's a silicon-based creature."
"festum..."
"From a different dimension..."
"The existence between existence and nothingness..."
They didn't know its specific abilities yet, so such a brief introduction frightened Ma Liu and others.
"What about their abilities? Is it some kind of high technology that we don't understand?" Malu asked.
"High technology, haha, it should count, if rubbing wormholes with your hands can be considered high technology."
"What!?"
Ma Liu and others were so frightened that they stood up. Although none of the people present were professional scientists, they still knew the name of the wormhole. Wormholes are also called space holes and are also called Einstein-Rosen bridges. There are also names such as boreholes, which are narrow tunnels that may exist in the universe connecting two different times and spaces.
For the current Gundam SEED world, wormholes only exist at the level of concepts, and their real existence has not been confirmed, let alone the existence of rubbing wormholes with bare hands.
"Forget it, just take a look for yourselves." Yang Hui said that the wormhole technology was indeed too advanced. He even knew a little about it and couldn't explain it. He simply pulled out some of the information saved by Promes Fortress and let them experience it with their own eyes. , then we understood what Yang Hui meant when he said he couldn't resist.
As the scene played, everyone couldn't close their mouths. It was indeed a wormhole rubbed with hands. No, Fetum didn't even use his hands. It was just a black light shining somewhere on his body, and then the spherical wormhole swallowed up the enemy.
Note that it was devoured, not destroyed. It was like being chewed by some creature. The part above the gap disappeared directly, and no one knew where it went.
Moreover, the spherical wormhole appeared without any warning at all. It could be seen that the festum lit up with black light, and the spherical wormhole suddenly swallowed the enemy, making even evasion a problem.
"Besides, this is not the scariest part of festum." Yang Hui said with a serious expression.
"Isn't this the scariest thing!?"
"Yes, the scariest thing about festum is assimilation."
"assimilation?"
"A festum is a creature that behaves in a group and has a common group consciousness. One is all and all is one. The phenomenon of assimilation turns the enemy into the same structure as them and captures the opponent's heart. This is a kind of spirit. Intrusion usually occurs when the other party asks questions. During the battle with the festum, you suddenly hear a voice asking you, "Are you there?" This is the guide for assimilation. As long as you answer the other party and pay attention to any answer, assimilation will appear. Phenomenon."
"this……"
"This is just one of the ways. There are others, such as contact between the body and the other party, mind interference and induction, forced assimilation, etc."
"Although it has not been completely assimilated and can be treated, but... we currently do not have corresponding treatment methods, and... we currently do not have defense technology to resist wormhole attacks..."
Yang Hui also had a distressed look on his face. He really didn't expect that he would encounter an enemy of Festum's level in this third world. In the world of Favna in the Sky, there was no means of resistance in the early stage. Once the assimilation phenomenon started, He can only wait for death, and there is no way to face the wormhole attack except to dodge.
It wasn't until Makabe Hongyin, or Monnier who had assimilated Makabe Hongyin, gave a large amount of technology to Ryugu Island that there was technology to treat the assimilation phenomenon and defend against spherical wormholes.
Yang Hui knew that there were different factions in Festum, including those who hoped to communicate with humans and were willing to coexist with humans, but... the mission was made so clear, the other party was the enemy, and there was definitely no possibility of communication or coexistence, and neither did he. I dare to hope that there will be a festum from the peaceful faction to send warmth.
"Damn it!" Mu punched the table hard, "Can we just wait to die!?"
"Calm down! Uncle Mu, there is still a chance. The hidden festum is still inactive. The top priority is to find it and then destroy it to prevent the coordinates of this world from being leaked."
"Wait, Yang Hui, how did you know they were in this world?" Aslan asked suddenly.
"..." Yang Hui did not answer immediately, but looked at Kira.
Kira, who was being watched, felt a thump in her heart. Thinking of the roar coming from the Marshall Islands defense line, she had a bad suspicion in her mind.
"Teacher Malchio, you should all know him."
"Could it be him!"
"...Malchio Rekwen, his real name is Orwell Navia, the second prince who mysteriously disappeared fifty years ago in the Kingdom of Scandinavia, and is also the current king Orf Navia. His biological brother, he was assimilated."
"What!?"
"How could it be? If he has been assimilated, why have we been in contact with him over the past few years and why have we not been affected?" Lux asked. Among the people present, Kira and Lux had the most contact with Teacher Malchio. Most of all, Kira's adoptive parents, Aslan's mother, Fleur and the unborn child have all had many contacts with Teacher Marchio, but they did not feel any discomfort, nor did they feel any discomfort. I have experienced mental erosion.
"He fled the Kingdom of Scandinavia as soon as the phenomenon of assimilation appeared and hid his identity. Over the years, he has relied on his willpower to suppress the erosion of the phenomenon of assimilation, and until today... he insists I can't help it anymore, and as a last resort, I can only eliminate him completely," Yang Hui said regretfully. People who can suppress the assimilation phenomenon for decades with their willpower deserve Yang Hui's respect.
"I see, that's why you asked the entire army to cut off all communications to prevent the spread of the assimilation phenomenon!" The emperor thought of the communication interruption of all the troops surrounding the Marshall Islands before, and now he had a reasonable explanation.
"It won't work if we don't cut it off. Once the assimilation phenomenon spreads, the result will be devastating." Yang Hui shook his head. This was a countermeasure he borrowed from the Battle of Valfna in the Sky. The entire team's communications were silent and no one could contact them. No matter who, in this case, if anyone hears someone asking them a question, it must be a festum.
"What should we do now?" Baji Lulu asked Yang Hui. Regardless of the true identities of Promis Fortress and Yang Hui and others, if the problem of festum is not handled well, it will be a crisis of world destruction, and the world will be destroyed. These It has nothing to do with them.
"Most of [LOGOS]'s secret research institutes and secret bases have been found out, and the remaining ones are being investigated intensively. Durandal of PLANT is our partner. He needs two months to prepare. It just so happens that we also Find all the remaining strongholds within this time, and we must not miss any place, especially where the festum is hidden in the palace, we must find out. "
"Don't worry, no matter where it is hidden, I will find it." Cruze promised. He now also knows the seriousness of the situation. Once Yang Hui and others fail in their mission, he will not care if the world is destroyed, but he cannot Following Yang Hui and the others to witness countless scenes was an outcome he could not accept.
"The only thing left is the popularization of pseudo-solar furnaces. I hope it's too late."
