Chapter 425 The Hand of the Queen

Chapter 425 The Hand of the Queen

One minute later.

The galaxy where the city planet was previously located.

Near the stars in the galaxy, there is an asteroid that sits on the same table as Pluto, not even a planet.

Next to the asteroid, a large amount of sand suddenly appeared in the void and quickly gathered.

It formed a space station that had lost more than half of its structure, but seemed to have managed to repair the gaps.

Inside the space station, two nano-robots, Zhou Bo and Nano, were standing together in the main control room of the space station that was torn apart by Chen Ming's scarlet power.

The nano here is just as Chen Ming guessed before, it is a part of nano that was left before leaving the space station, or earlier, and returned to the original state after self-repair.

Although there were only the two of them, all the survivors throughout the space station were watching this scene in the main control room.

When the space station completely left the dimension built by Shining Civilization.

Nami was the first to speak: "Confirm that that part of my body has completely lost contact."

"The last news that came through was that Chen Ming used the psychic effect of the scarlet dimension to destroy his consciousness, and he failed to self-destruct."

"Chen Ming's psychic effect is indeed limited, but a lot of information will definitely be leaked, and there should be monitors left by Chen Ming in the galaxy. We must hurry up."

"We have already lost many companions, and we cannot continue to lose any more."

"Yes."

Zhou Bo now no longer has the confidence to question Nami before, and he has returned the authority to Nami.

The reason why he still stayed here instead of watching like the other survivors was just to prove that Nami was right.

Of course, the survivors still put business first.

As soon as they finished speaking, the space station sent a special communication signal towards the planet.

And this signal was responded to almost instantly.

I saw that the surface layer at the two magnetic poles of the asteroid suddenly began to collapse, as if it was affected by a sudden gravitational force at the core of the asteroid.

No, not a collapse, but a collapse.

The surface soil and underground rock layers are collapsing toward the interior of the asteroid due to the sudden gravity.

When the soil and rocks were swallowed by the force of collapse, a giant structure with an overall appearance like an oil lamp was exposed inside the asteroid.

The umbrella rib structure at the top droops slightly, semi-protecting the open structure in the middle. At the same time, this structure can also allow it to be completely covered by the structure of the asteroid itself.

After the rocks and soil were almost completely removed, something familiar to Chen Ming was revealed inside the structure.

A singularity.

It is releasing a huge gravitational force that will completely wipe out everything remaining on the asteroid.

Soon, the umbrella structure at the top of this giant structure opened up, and light pollution with concentrated energy appeared on the surface. The attraction of the singularity gradually became stronger, and it seemed that it would be able to pass through it soon.

Arrive at the unknown location behind.

"So this is the special star gate you were talking about?"

Chen Ming's voice sounded on the super body.

At this time, the super body is hovering not too far away from the star gate in the asteroid.

The surface of the super body is covered by a layer of nanorobots, which has a dual invisibility effect on both the physical and spiritual levels.

What helped construct this layer of nanorobot covering was the part of nanometers controlled by Chen Ming's psychic energy.

Nami immediately said after Chen Ming asked this question: "Yes, by connecting the coordinates of the star gate here and the destination, we can reach a new dimension we built ourselves from here."

"This new dimension is different from the one we used when escaping from the space station. It is more...private."

"Hide there and be unable to come out until the Queen recovers. This is the only way out when I face you."

"The other me has definitely regained control of the space station and is advancing this plan."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and said: "Because of your words, I changed my mind about starting directly from the dimension where your space station passes. I hope that the situation later will be worthy of my doing so."

"I can't say whether it's worth it, but this is definitely an opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you."

Chen Ming was noncommittal about this.

He glanced at the space station outside, which was extremely slow due to the time acceleration of the super body, and took advantage of this moment to ask: "So how strong is the Queen?"

"I don't know."

"I only know that she is the most powerful psyker in our shining civilization, and no one knows how powerful she is."

"I suggest you really prepare yourself before you do it..."

"Coming."

Nami was interrupted by Chen Ming before she finished speaking.

Because at this time, the singularity in the special star gate has been completely stabilized. The space station also started to move, and the speed was quite fast, and it would soon enter the star gate.

Chen Ming wanted to try to follow, but he didn't.

He just once again relied on the acceleration effect of the super body's time flow core to accelerate spiritual energy, and distributed his mental power between the space station and the star gate based on the acceleration effect of the time flow core.

The space was torn apart again, bringing Scarlet back into the normal universe, enveloping the space station.

This time the survivors' goal is right in front of them, and they can no longer avoid Chen Ming's tracking by escaping to that dimension.

But at the moment when the crack completely opened.

At the top of the special star gate frame outside the singularity that had just been stabilized, a presence that made Chen Ming feel extremely dangerous appeared.

In his mental perception, what gave him such a sense of danger was an obviously feminine nanomechanical severed arm.

Not even a complete person.

Chen Ming's face was serious, but he was not surprised. He knew what it was.

This is what Nami said, a countermeasure left by their queen before she fell into sleep, used to protect the survivors when necessary.

This is what remains of the most powerful psykers who ruled a powerful civilization.

This is the hand of the Queen.

It's Chen Ming's reason for doing this.

Chen Ming wanted to make a bigger bet.

Although the value of the survivors has been squeezed out through nanotechnology, as long as the remaining survivors are placed in this galaxy, more value can be squeezed out.

The Hand of the Queen is a counter-weapon left behind by the Shining Queen, and only the master of the Relic space station has the authority to awaken it.

And Chen Ming's spiritual power has the possibility to control it.

As soon as the Queen's Hand appeared, she stretched out her index finger and pointed it in the direction of the space station.

It seems to be targeting people who are hostile to the survivors.

The moment he locked the target on those scarlet cracks.

The Queen's hand opened its slender fingers that shone with metallic color, and held them in the air towards the direction of the space station.

A giant phantom hand made of psychic energy also completely grasped the area torn apart by the scarlet rift at this moment.

Like holding a piece of paper, Scarlet crumpled into a mess.

The space station separated by scarlet was not affected by this force at all.

He even moved towards the special star gate at a faster speed while the Queen's Hand was taking effect.

The scarlet crack held in the palm of the hand by the phantom created by the Queen's hand was not directly crushed.

The power of scarlet is being continuously released into the normal universe from another dimension. A heartbeat sounded in the palm of the Queen's hand.

The hand that was held in vain could not help but loosen.

But the next moment, the Queen's hand clenched again as if she was offended, completely crushing the scarlet power back to the scarlet dimension.

Chen Ming's scarlet mechanical heart cracked under the backlash of this force.

But Chen Ming's attention is not on Scarlet at this time.

His attention has been entirely focused on the Queen's Hand.

The super body he controls is also lurking in the shadows and approaching the star gate.

When the Scarlet Mechanical Heart was repulsed by the Queen, the Queen's power acted most powerfully on the giant phantom hand.

Chen Ming broke away from the super body, relying on the aftermath of the time-accelerating psychic effect brought by the time flow core, rushed towards the Queen's hand, and just touched it.

But just when Chen Ming wanted to rely on his own spiritual power to control the Queen's hand.

"What?"

Chen Ming's spiritual energy penetrated the Queen's hand, but failed to exert its power on it.

The Queen's hands were still able to move freely, and she also noticed Chen Ming's presence.

The giant hand that was originally clenched on the scarlet crack disappeared, and the power returned to the Queen's hand.

The queen's hand just made a slight slap and directly shattered the biological armor on Chen Ming's body.

Even the psychic shield he maintained around his body was penetrated by this powerful force.

It directly shattered most of the internal organs and bones in his body.

Chen Ming spat out a mouthful of blood filled with organs.

He quickly used psychic energy to repair his injured body.

During this process, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Queen's hand, thinking constantly.

In the past, Chen Ming also had situations where his psychic powers were unable to control certain mechanical equipment.

For example, when facing the mechanical tribe.

When he was still very weak, he was unable to use his spiritual energy to directly control the mechanical tribes in their psychic hive mind network.

Because psionic energy would hinder the development of his power, and the psionic strength of the psionic hive mind network far exceeded what he once had.

In fact, what the survivors had speculated before was correct. Psychic energy would indeed affect Chen Ming's use of psionic energy.

But it must be a spiritual power that far exceeds Chen Ming's strength.

So now Chen Ming has always thought that nothing in the world can stop his spiritual power.

But the Queen's Hand appeared in front of him when he was extremely proud.

He had no way to control this mechanical being whose psychic power far exceeded his own.

But...

His power also still left traces of scarlet infection on the Queen's Hand's arm.

The hand seemed to be studying the scarlet-affected wound for a moment.

But it doesn't do anything about it.

It just once again pointed its finger at the scarlet crack that had just been released but began to expand again.

This time, what appeared at the edge of the scarlet rift was no longer a giant hand, but a humanoid shadow that contained all the psychic power left by the Queen's hand.

The shadow's eyes were dull, but it stayed very purposefully near the space station for a moment, and then rushed into the scarlet rift at the next moment, completely sealing the scarlet rift.

The surrounding space has also been forcibly smoothed and stabilized, and there is no longer the possibility of reopening the cracks in a short period of time.

Before Chen Ming could see what would happen in Scarlet, he saw that the Queen's hand, which was originally suspended near the star gate, had lost the psychic power stored in it and turned into an ordinary nano-mechanical arm.

And it was still being crazily corroded by the scarlet it had just stained.

Chen Ming quickly controlled the nano-mechanical arm that had lost its power, erasing the influence of the scarlet power on it.

Then he looked elsewhere and saw that the space station had also disappeared from its previous position, leaving only some residual space fluctuations on the special star gate.

The star gate is still there, but the singularity has been extinguished at this time, and it seems that it can no longer open a passage to another dimension.

Chen Ming reached out to touch the star gate with some disbelief and controlled the star gate.

However, he discovered that the way this star gate was activated was extremely special.

He cannot activate it on its own.

Even if Chen Ming's spiritual power is there, there is no way to change this design problem.

If you want to use it, you must open another special star gate corresponding to it.

And the location of the other special star gate...is only in the new dimension that Nano said.

The nanorobot left on Chen Ming's body suddenly said: "Without the information of the closed dimension, the star gate cannot be oriented. Even if you want to determine the coordinates on the other side of the star gate by studying the star gate, it will be useless."

"'My' goal has been achieved, and you have seen the Queen's power. Do you still have the confidence to win?"

Chen Ming's heart sank when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that the queen of the survivors would have such power.

Just one arm left behind could block his power.

But after all, she was the queen of the Shining Civilization, a civilization that was extremely prosperous compared to the empire.

She should have such power.

So Chen Ming had nothing to say.

His power has also not reached its peak.

His capital ship is still parked in the giant shipyard.

"Just the Queen."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Star Gate and then at the nano-mechanical arm in his hand, feeling that he was not too discouraged.

After all, he had already thought clearly before doing this, and the value he could obtain from the survivors had already been completely obtained from Nano.

All he was doing at the moment was gambling.

Everyone is happy when the bet is won.

If he loses the bet, he just lets go of some survivors who are not very powerful, so that they can report his power to the Queen.

But what they knew about his power was one-sided.

And even if all of them are left behind, when the queen of the survivors wakes up, she will be wary of the outside world because there is no one to greet her.

It may even be possible to be more alert than to be aware of the misconception.

So no matter what the outcome is, it won't make much difference to future development.

"The survivors? Just the lost dogs."

"As long as the star gate is still here, sooner or later I will have people research the method to that dimension, and sooner or later this star gate will be activated."

"The survivors must submit or perish."
