Chapter 212 Information and Energy
After listening to Geza's narration, Russell disconnected from his consciousness.
"I have to say, you guys are really lucky." Russell said.
Geza said he couldn't understand it at all. Hive B-211 was invaded by such a terrifying extra-dimensional monster. The fleet in orbit evaporated out of thin air. The ground troops suffered heavy casualties. Even the Chaos Demons were hunted down. According to the star bomber, Is this actually good luck? That would be too absurd.
"It's indeed good, compared to other planets visited by boundary breakers."
Russell returned the power sword in his hand to Gaza, shook his head and said: "Listen, the Boundary Breakers generally do not send ground troops to land on the planet. They feed on energy and can use matter decomposers to distort the laws of physics and transform matter. For edible energy - this is why your fleet will disappear out of thin air, they will be decomposed and swallowed.
To the Boundary Breaker, the armor on the ship, the stones on the ground, the flesh and blood of organic life... are actually no different in fundamental nature. Do you understand what this means? This means that the Boundary Breaker fleet does not actually need to conduct any landing operations at all. They only need to stay in space to decompose the entire planet's material and eat up a world. "
Geza gasped weakly: "If it is true as you said, why did the Breakers send ground troops to the B-211? We no longer have space power. They only need to stay outside the orbit to disintegrate the planet. Is not it?"
"You are right, but boundary breakers feed on energy. Matter itself is not their food. If there is ready food, cooking is always the second option." Russell said, turning and leaving the mine where Geza was hiding. , leaving him slumped there and confused.
"Energy?" Geza recalled the words of the star bomber, and suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind:
"chaos……"
Relying on his powerful spiritual power, Russell pushed the performance of the Baptist armor to the limit, running rampant in the poisonous exhaust gas without any concealment, completely ignoring the ruins of lava flowing in the rift valley and the empire hiding in the dilapidated position. Soldier.
"Did you see it? Something just passed by?"
"...No, I can't open my eyes. Do you think if I die here, will my soul be accepted by the Golden Throne?"
"It will definitely happen. The Emperor loves everyone in the universe equally."
"But I couldn't even kill a single enemy, my death was worthless..."
An Imperial Guardsman, missing his left hand and half of his face, lay in a trench, trying to keep his last blind eye open. Life was the emperor's currency, but he failed to make good use of it. Even because he was blind, he couldn't even do things like conduct reconnaissance for his comrades.
Then there was a boom, and he could detect without using his eyes.
That was the sound of the Baptist mobile armor crashing through the wall from one mine into another. Time was running out, so Russell chose to take a shortcut.
Even without using any weapons, based on the mass and molecular density of the zero-element armor, once the speed increases, it can have a terrifying lethality that is not inferior to any thermal weapons, and can easily smash rocks and steel fortresses. If you take the regular route, it will take an extra 20 minutes.
On the way forward, Russell did not activate the detector that came with the Baptist. The extra things would interfere with his vision. The eyes of the Star Bomber were real eyes that could see through many obstacles.
He could see that the threads originally entangled in B-211 were quickly dissolving. The knotted fate had not been untied, nor would it be untied, but was forcibly cut off by another extraordinary force. There is no doubt that that is the boundary breaker, the visitor from outside.
"Eating so fast. In the time it took to talk to Geza, there were almost no traces of demons in the Great Rift Valley. Even the machines infected with Geza's Iron Plague were completely eaten... Only the 863 in front There are still a few remaining threads of chaos in the mine."
"It's really pitiful. The chaotic demon who used to be wanton and indulgent has now become a roadless lamb blocked by the Boundary Breaker and trembling in the corner."
It's close, the last thread of chaos is already in front of you.
Russell stopped his inner murmur, used the psychic spell taught to him by Magnus to hide the traces of the Baptist armor, and cautiously approached Mine No. 863, which was devastated by armor firepower. An abandoned drilling rig could still be seen next to it.
"Warm" magma flowed at the bottom of the dark mine pit. The lack of light did not affect Russell's vision. He leaned next to an abandoned drilling rig and looked down. He saw a creature with a single horn and a body covered with parasitic abscesses. The Plaguebringer, armed with Nurgle flies, huddled at the bottom of the pit.
A strong, fiery-skinned Khorne gladiator hugged the Plague Bearer. One of the horns on its head had been broken off, and the horse's hooves on its lower body were bleeding. The rumbling chain saw battle ax fell on the ground. Next to him, this Khorne gladiator no longer had any courage to pick up the weapon.
Because in front of these two demons, near the bottom of the pit, was a bunch of hopping chaos.
It is literal garbled code, a meaningless geometric block of color put together, beating randomly and irregularly. It does not emit light or reflect light and has no physical properties at all, but it can be seen by the naked eyes of both demons and mortals. Actually "see" it.
The brains of intelligent creatures cannot understand its existence. It is a high-dimensional life that exists in the form of information. It is a boundary breaker.
The Nurgle Plaguebearer and the Khorne Gladiator screamed, scratched, trembled and hugged each other crying, but the Plaguebearer shed pus and the Gladiator shed flames. They were so embarrassed that they didn't have the courage to resist.
"Why is there only one Boundary Breaker? Have the other Boundary Breakers eaten and left?"
Russell squatted outside the No. 863 mine with interest, watching this scene. He didn't intend to expose himself to interfere in this hunt.
Although squatting outside and peeping at people eating seems to be a bit of a pervert, there are not many opportunities to observe the process of Boundary Breakers devouring Chaos Demons at close range, and perhaps some useful information can be collected.
"Boundary Breakers are high-dimensional creatures that exist in the form of information. They feed on energy to maintain their existence..." Russell watched coldly as the group of humanoid garbled code moved vaguely to the front of the gladiator's horse hoof and began to decompose its red flesh in some unknown way.
"According to my understanding of the warp, each demon of the Four Gods is a fragment of the corresponding evil god. The demon's body cannot actually come to the real universe. The power of the Supreme Heaven can only be displayed in places where reality and illusion overlap, such as the Eye of Terror or the Great Whirlpool."
"Similarly, because demons do not come to the real universe with their real bodies, they cannot be killed by conventional means. Only by piercing the veil and damaging their warp essence can they be truly killed, such as the Emperor's flame and the anti-psychic nature of the Untouchables..."
In the No. 863 pit, the humanoid garbled code has spread from the gladiator's horse hoof to the abscess on the plague bearer.
"The warp is an abyssal dimension composed of pure energy. The evil god is a spiritual entity formed by the gathering of a huge amount of emotional energy. The demon is also a single concept that exists in the form of energy, but it is only one level lower...High-dimensional creatures that exist in the form of information naturally restrain demons, but why don't they run away if they can't beat them?"
Russell looked at the plague bearer and the gladiator struggling and wailing desperately at the bottom of the pit, and being swallowed without any resistance, and felt a little strange.
Demons should be able to return to the subspace at any time. How can they stay still and be eaten when they encounter their natural enemies?
"Could it be that these demons were scared silly when they saw the Boundary Breaker for the first time? Or is it that they don't want to, but... can't? They can't return to the subspace at all?"
A flash of inspiration flashed through Russell's mind, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped the truth.
At the bottom of the pit, the fiery red gladiator and the rotten green plague bearer had disappeared, only a faint human-shaped color block remained in place, and the two demons had become food to maintain the existence of this information.
The group exploded, and the threshold for new groups is high.
