Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 576
Chapter 574, Protozoan Riot
Anton Dubo knew without observation that to forcibly control him, to pin him to the ground, even though he could almost reach the level of a Titan with his own strength, could only be achieved by a neurozoan of the strength of an Alpha-class psychic.
But… why?
Weren’t the neurozoans well controlled?
How could they suddenly break free?
He had indeed stepped down from the control console, but that merely meant temporarily abandoning the control and utilization of the neurozoan’s power. This meant he had lost the ability to engage Gu Hang’s psychic power in space, allowing Gu Hang to do as he pleased.
This didn’t mean the neurozoan had been freed.
Before the war, he, the fleet commander-in-chief and the highest-ranking of the seven main-business sages, certainly wouldn’t remain in the protozoan room constantly, accompanying the worm.
During non-wartime, his visits here were few and far between.
Normally, the neurozoans were well controlled. This protozoan chamber, constructed with the full technical prowess of the Alfonzoan Order, was specifically designed to securely contain the neurozoan.
Theoretically, even if it were unmanned, with only the equipment operating, it shouldn’t be able to escape.
Furthermore, it wasn’t unmanned yet.
He had left the control console, but six Archbishops were still operating the restraints and control equipment.
How could it be…
wait a minute?
Without him controlling the neurozoan’s power, Gu Hang was left unstoppable?
Was it Gu Hang?
But how could he have accurately projected his psychic energy here?
The distance between them, even measured in tens of thousands of kilometers, exceeded the diameters of several planets. Using psychic energy to breach a ship’s void shield was within comprehension, as there were precedents. But to precisely locate a compartment within a ship, inject power through the void shield, and precisely release the neurozoan’s restraints, rather than simply destroying it…
was this something a psychic could achieve? Is this something a human could do?
Was I really fighting a demon?
Du Bo’s doubts were unanswered.
Martins wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Although he felt a tremor from the neurozoan that broke free behind Du Bo, he didn’t feel any restraint. The neurozoan hadn’t targeted him. He
didn’t know why, but seizing this opportunity to kill it was crucial.
But just as he was about to attack, Gu Hang’s voice echoed in his mind.
“Your mission is accomplished. Gather your battle brothers and prepare to evacuate.”
Martins was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
The neurozoan wouldn’t let the mechanical sage go.
Although it seemed to be controlled by some force, its mechanical body was undeniably strong.
He might still have a chance to break free, and a fierce battle between the two would be a possibility.
But for Martins, both were enemies, and the best thing would be to beat them to a pulp.
If he didn’t retreat now, what was he waiting for?
So, Martins silently crawled out through the ‘dog hole’ in the alloy door that had been burned through by seven or eight melta bombs.
No one stopped him.
The neurozoan obviously didn’t target him, and he escaped smoothly.
Outside, the few people who were fighting with the Skitarii and guarding the ‘dog hole’ couldn’t help but turn their heads.
“?”
The Chapter Master’s crawling back looked a little funny…
but that wasn’t the point!
Larsen couldn’t help but say, “Chapter Master, what happened in there? I sense a very terrifying psychic power…”
“The neurozoan has broken free. Our mission is accomplished. Assemble the troops and prepare for evacuation. You must also prepare to teleport back to the Hippogriff.”
“As expected of you, Chapter Master!” Larsen praised. “You can even break the seal on that neurozoan!”
“Uh…” Martins felt a little embarrassed, thinking, “I didn’t do anything, I just slipped in and out through a dog hole…”
But that was just a thought in his mind; there was no time for further discussion right now!
Larsen reported another situation: “The distance is too great, and the psychic interference is severe…”
As he spoke, they felt the alloy gate behind them tremble violently. The gate wasn’t broken, but a flame could be seen through the ‘dog hole’.
“…That’s why I can’t complete the positioning.”
“Don’t worry, just prepare yourself. The Governor will handle it.”
At this, Larsen felt relieved.
The team that had assaulted the alloy gate once again took action. This time, their sole purpose was to reunite their brothers caught in the action.
A Terminator accompanying Martins held aloft a battle flag.
This was a prominent sign, facilitating the gathering of his fellow warriors.
Time to assemble was limited.
Gu Hang, completely unleashed, was already tearing apart the void shields on Alfonzo II.
Once the shields shattered, the fleet’s barrage would follow.
The War Ark’s armor was certainly thick, but relying solely on armor for protection was clearly insufficient.
The War Ark would likely be destroyed soon.
Martins didn’t want his own chapter to be buried with it.
Furthermore, with time running out, the Neurozoa behind the alloy gate wouldn’t take long to slay Anton Dubo. The alloy gate likely wouldn’t be able to contain this top-tier Zerg Tyrant for much longer.
It was likely to burst forth soon.
By then, it was uncertain how much damage this powerful Zerg beast would wreak, and whether the Phoenixes would be affected.
Therefore, after about ten minutes, the Space Marines had reached the point where they had to evacuate.
There were only less than 500 warriors gathered in this wave. However, they successfully joined the team guarding the seriously injured.
Larsen led a group of people and carried out a wave of psychic teleportation.
The target was located on the Alliance aircraft carrier “Hippogriff” that had been left in advance, but the distance was too far, and even Larsen could only sense it vaguely.
Such strength was 100% not enough for psychic teleportation. Forcing it would only send these 500 people to an unknown place.
However, out of trust in the Governor, Larsen gritted his teeth and started the teleportation.
The feeling of weightlessness during the psychic teleportation quickly came, and when the senses recovered, many Phoenix warriors opened their eyes nervously.
This was exactly where they set out.
The psychic teleportation was successful, and they returned to the Hippogriff.
Safe.
