Although he didn't understand Beria's sudden attitude, Soshiyan nodded after a brief moment of surprise.
"Thanks."
Half an hour later, a huge entrance and exit was created by Rogris. He scanned the dark interior with a searchlight for a while. After confirming that there were no enemies in ambush, the Terminators walked in one by one.
As soon as he entered, Soshiyan felt the obvious inclination of the floor beneath his feet, and the angle might be close to 45°, which shows that the mechanical ark is not horizontal, but is embedded in the scrap ship inclined.
The original appearance of the waste ship is now completely unseen, everything has been twisted into weird appearances, including murals and statues.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Soshiyang felt that there were too many gold products in it, which surpassed the aesthetic of the Holy Blood Angel that he was familiar with.
According to the scan of the bird-drawn instrument, they are probably located at the stern. According to the general structure of the ark provided by the mechanical sages, the STC template is generally stored in the encrypted isolation cabin in the middle of the hull.
"The blood of San Gilles!"
Santo Joel seemed very excited when he entered the Mechanical Ark, and when he saw a statue of the Gene Origin had been twisted into some blasphemy, fire almost erupted in his eyes.
"The filth must be removed!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Soshiyang's ears.
"There is a very powerful demon here. I just ran into it, no matter how close it is, but I feel very familiar. Be careful, I'm coordinating a ceremony that will pass later."
Hearing Kayang's words, Soshiyang suddenly felt a bell in his heart.
What can make this demon expert say the word "powerful" will never be a simple thing.
The team then began to move along the main road near the keel. As the largest starship in the empire, the inside of the Mechanical Ark Blood Red is equivalent to a small nest. Fortunately, the road is very straight and spacious, and there are tracks on the ground. Obviously, its main internal personnel and materials were transported by orbit.
But now, it is like a tomb.
After about twenty minutes of walking, they finally encountered a real enemy for the first time.
“These are—”
Soshiyan tightened his palms and easily crushed the monster's chin in his hand.
Its upper jaw was broken and its face was squeezed into a twisted slender shape.
Even so, it struggled in his tight grip, trying to break free from its neck.
Soshiyang then smashed the thing to the ground with force.
Around him, the Terminator of the Star Knights, the Dead Wing Terminator, and the main force of the Blood Knight were shooting at enemies that were rushing out of the hatch and pipes.
At first Soshiyan thought they were long-lost gene stealers, but then he discovered that these aliens were completely different from before.
Their bodies become soft, their skin shows a translucent state, with tentacles and hoses wrapped around them, and their long faces are more like a mask covering the twisted skin.
As they ran and moved, all kinds of disgusting liquid slowly flowed out of their mouths and buttocks, and the dirty tissue fluid quickly spread over the ground.
"Gene stealers who are contaminated by subspace?"
With some speculation, Soshiyan grabbed the closest strange creature, overturned it to the ground, and then smashed it heavily into the ground.
After careful observation, there was almost nothing on its face, as if it was just clayed by a sculptor.
However, its muscle tissue is like the gene stealer I saw before, with wrinkled white scars spreading across its back and chest, part of which is very similar to the chaotic eight-pointed symbol.
Soshiyang squinted his eyes and thought about the terrible factors implied in it—
But these problems are not the main ones, and they still have to move forward now.
"Don't stop, keep moving."
With the help of fierce firepower, the team quickly arrived at the first large cabin while destroying the enemy.
This seemed to be a freight transit station, where Soshiyang actually saw several normal gene stealers. These creatures with exoskeletons were crowded in the corner. When Soshiyang approached, he hurriedly escaped from him.
It's like a terrified refugee.
In the cabin next to him, Soshiyan saw some gene stealers lying in a pile of garbage and rags, covered in filth, eyes and tongue dug out, and there was a golden statue that was twisted so hard that it was almost unrecognizable.
Mast-like pillars rose from both sides of the golden statue, and a body hung on each of them, which Soshiyan could see were all gene stealers without mutations.
Their skin is a strange purple-red color, and their faces, or the place where they once were - were covered with melted gold, one of which was hollowed out, the other burned with flames in the skull, and the others were still alive, but leaning against their heads as if they had not noticed the surroundings.
One even had a cluster of underdeveloped heads protruding from his stomach, and another had vivid patterns on his skin with curved corners.
Soshiyang was horrified that these polluted aliens were offering sacrifices to the gods in the sub-space with tributes—there were torn raw meat, broken nuggets, bones, weapons, and organs in glass jars.
Some parts of this area are trapped in darkness, coldness, or extreme heat, and there are gene stealers with mental disorders and confusing thinking in each corner. The madness and mutation in them are already wandering on the boundary between reality and illusion.
"...The biological sages have always concluded that the Tyran Zerg will not be contaminated by subspace."
Belia shook the pus stained from the sword, then walked to Soshyang and stared at the weird statue of the god.
"They proved wrong, and there are always exceptions for everything."
Then he looked at Soshiyan.
"The great mentor Ezekiel just told me that there might be a very powerful demon here."
Soshiyan nodded. Since Kayan could feel it, there was no reason Ezekiel could not feel it.
"We will destroy it, the Mechanical Ark is the most precious property of the Empire, and we cannot make a final decision unless we have to."
Beria nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The team did not stay in this blasphemy place for a long time and continued to move forward. The chaotic singing along the way became louder and louder, but fortunately they were blocked by the think tanks.
Soon, they arrived at a core area of the warship—
church.
The huge bronze door of the church was open and the Space Marines walked straight in.
Accompanied by the dazzling searchlights, Soshiyan saw that in the church covered with countless centuries of filth, there were still believers praying.
They sing broken hymns in a chaotic and wordless voice, and a figure that looks like a human on the pulpit.
When chanting with believers, it shakes its body due to fanaticism.
