Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 43: 【Void Walker’s Any Door】
It is no exaggeration to say that the monsters in the plane passage are like flash floods that burst the embankment, and Laboratory Zero is the closest place to the void, and the monsters are even denser.
Su Lun rushed forward and was in danger several times.
This is because he has many treasures and space means at his side. If it were an ordinary person, he would be afraid that even sixth- and seventh-level professionals would die here.
He plunged into Laboratory Zero. The place had changed drastically from before. When he entered the underground, many of the isolation doors and walls disappeared. Su Lun didn’t know where he was being attacked by that [Void Two Directions] The insects] were digested by dimensionality reduction.
Su Lun also became more cautious. The black crow was exploring the way forward, and the pupil of the omniscient eye swept all the way, without taking anything lightly.
There are still very violent space energy fluctuations in the laboratory area, and the battle between Dean Mason and the weird seems to be fierce.
Su Lun got the information from Marfa's people and knew why they came here to release the monsters.
The information did contain a lot of misleading words. It sounded like a genius who was persecuted and suppressed by the college bureaucracy and died here in depression. Just like Su Lun himself discovered the note in the library for the first time, it can incite people's feelings of injustice.
However,
The plot is meaningless now.
The most important thing is that the "bait" is very real.
That "Herbert Hilbery" said that he hid many of his research results that could change the course of civilization in the "T11 Experimental Area".
The most important of them are the various treasures he has collected while traveling in the void plane, as well as all the research materials for the [Void Gene Potion] project that he has completed.
The kind of super potion that allows people to directly obtain void talents without any hidden dangers is a temptation that no one, especially the big forces, can resist.
This is also the most important reason for the outbreak of "Void Invasion".
Su Lun feels that the bait in this information is most likely true. After all, he speculated that Herbert might have been a top professional during his lifetime, and the era he lived in at that time was at a certain stage of the dawn of alchemy, which was extremely glorious. The possibility of having a god-level alchemist in the "Talkulu Empire" is very high, and mere lies have no value in front of that kind of existence.
However, none of that matters now.
Su Lun cares more about other things.
That is, since Herbert, who has been transformed into a [two-dimensional insect], will set up such a trap, then the intelligence of the monster will be very high, even higher than the average human intelligence!
Su Lun had previously observed some signs of this void invasion and confirmed that the conjecture in Herbert's notes was correct, that is, the "mother worm theory".
Su Lun killed countless monsters along the way before reaching the depths of the laboratory.
But while walking, he suddenly stopped.
He looked at the energy barrier identified in the distance and muttered: "The bottom floor of the laboratory is sealed by a space barrier."
Su Lun knew that this fight would take a long time, and originally wanted to go directly to "Area T11" to see the situation, but now all roads were blocked.
The Dean Mason used a space-isolating spell to confine him and the [Two-Dimensional Insect] to a fixed area. Probably thinking of trying to seal the monster again?
Su Lun turned his eyes and thought: "I'm afraid I fell into that monster's plan. If we drag it on any longer, this passage will definitely be eaten away and collapse."
He cannot enter the barrier in front of him, and the possibility of breaking it by force is extremely low. And in this situation, the old dean is the biggest helper and cannot be offended.
Thinking about it, he shouted directly towards the barrier: "Dean Mason, monsters from the void seal outside have penetrated into the college area. A large number of void zerg are eating the rune restrictions of the plane passage. They are not Ordinary worms are controlled by a highly intelligent 'mother worm'"
Before he said this, Su Lun suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a sense of crisis, as if he was secretly coveted by a poisonous snake, instantly hit his heart.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand towards his back, and from the black hole in his palm, a domineering sword energy slashed through the air with a "swish".
The sword energy passed by, and a stream of blue blood suddenly shot out from the originally empty tunnel, and a transparent monster corpse cut in half fell to the ground with a crash. Upon inspection, it turned out to be a fourth-level gold weirdo.
This is the "mother insect" controlling the minions to be wiped out.
At the same time, through soul perception, Su Lun discovered that very dense soul fluctuations instantly poured into the corridor. The chaotic frequency of the air vibration made it easy to guess that a wave of monsters came from the ground and poured down.
Su Lun was just about to open fire with all his strength to protect himself, but at this moment, the space barrier in front of him expanded in an instant, including him directly.
Those void monsters hit the barrier "dong", "dong" and "dong", unable to show off their ferocity.
In this situation, the old dean naturally took action.
Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he dared to return to Laboratory Zero was because the void invasion in history had been terminated.
He expected that the old dean must have some trump card to suppress this [two-dimensional insect], or at least be undefeated.
At this time, he continued what he had just finished, saying: "Dean Mason, if I am not mistaken, the monster that Mr. Herbert transformed into is trying to delay you here, deliberately letting you I thought I could seal it. Then I secretly controlled the Void Zerg’s destruction plane passage.”
Before, he didn't understand why the Void Zerg could find the weak point of the restriction and go directly to the academy area even though the space passage was closed.
The actions of insects are more based on instinct, rather than having high enough "intelligence" like humans, and it is impossible to understand such complex restrictions.
Obviously, these bugs are organized, regular and premeditated.
Later, Su Lun realized that the places where those bugs were attacking were the restricted nodes in the academy.
Herbert's notes contain the following words: "Many void bugs cannot be counted as individuals alone, but a group of thousands of them can be considered an 'individual' unit. And the 'mother bug' 'It's the brain of this unit."
Herbert is the vice-president of the college and knows a lot about the various situations of the college and plane passages.
So, it is not difficult to guess that it is the "brain" of the Zerg.
Su Lun expressed his guess. At this time, the familiar "black line" also appeared in the space corridor.
The two-dimensional monster came to silence him personally.
Su Lun didn't panic anymore when he saw this.
The old dean has been able to stand firm for so long, so he naturally has a way to deal with it.
Sure enough, when the monster appeared, an old figure teleported faster and appeared in the corridor.
No matter how many times he watched it, Su Lun felt that Dean Mason's teleportation technique was a hundred times better than his.
The old man looked at Su Lun with a very complicated expression.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of the "Investigation Team" were the culprit of this accident, but the man in front of him did not want to escape, but came back.
Dean Mason doesn’t know how to evaluate it.
When he thought carefully about what he just said, he felt like he had a sudden realization.
No wonder he clearly felt that the [Two-Way Insect] had been sealed for many years. It was obviously stronger than before, but it had been performing poorly, making him feel that there was a chance to seal it again. It turned out that the monster was deliberately showing weakness and delaying the attack.
And the changes in reality also prove this.
The moment Su Lun revealed this plan, the bugs outside suddenly went crazy. Not only Experiment Zero, but the entire plane channel was violently shaking, and many times more void monsters were poured in than before.
The plan failed, and he probably wanted to kill the old dean as soon as possible by relying on the insect sea tactics.
Through the space barrier, Su Lun felt the madness of those insects. There was also solemnity in his eyes.
Just because he changed the direction of the plot a little, the void invasion directly entered the third stage from the first stage.
It's fine now, I can't get out at all.
We can only bet on the ability of the old dean to turn the tide.
This is also the biggest danger Su Lun assessed when considering this plan before.
Moreover, not only is it not going out, the [Two-Way Insect] is even more crazy now. This is the most direct and fatal threat.
Before, Su Lun thought that this monster was not very fast and had some shortcomings, and it could still survive for a while.
But now, it is no longer performed.
Su Lun disrupted its plan, and the monster would naturally want to kill him.
At this moment, the black crow next to Su Lun screamed, warning of a fatal crisis.
Su Lun and Black Crow had a tacit understanding and teleported towards the old dean without hesitation.
Looking back from the corner of his eye, he saw that the ground where he was standing had been reduced to a two-dimensional pattern, and he narrowly avoided a fatal murderous attack.
They are not opponents of the same level at all.
Su Lun could not think of any way to kill this monster.
Dean Mason looked at Su Lun's spatial teleportation method and sighed with a complicated tone: "Your method is not weak."
He did not let the monster continue to show off its evil, and used the spell again to control the monster, and then strangled it into pieces. [Two-dimensional Insect] The remaining body is reorganized, and there will be a short respite.
Now is not the time to delay. Every moment you delay, the plane channel is more likely to collapse.
The old dean also knew that this monster must not be allowed to leave Laboratory Zero, and he himself could not leave.
Reality did not allow him to hesitate any longer. He took out a bronze clockwork ball and threw it out, handed it to Su Lun, and said: "You should know the function of this thing. I will find a way to kill this monster. I'll leave it to you later. Just be careful."
He determined that Su Lun was a spy from the imperial capital. Now he had no choice but to trust.
Su Lun took the things, and after listening to these tuogu-like words, he guessed that the old man really had a trump card. He also had no ink stains, so he responded: "Okay!"
Preventing the invasion of the void is currently the best option for him to leave the cursed space alive.
And he must deal with this big wave of SS before he has a chance to get the treasure in the laboratory.
Looking at the [Restricted Clockwork] being taken out, the monster became even more crazy. The main body of its body emerged from the depths of the ground, and those black lines poured over it like a flood. This kind of ranged attack gives people no chance to evade. As long as the space barrier is not released, everything in the laboratory will be submerged.
Looking at the "wave of black bugs" that made his scalp numb in front of him, Su Lun felt the crisis of death that he had not experienced in a long time.
As soon as he pinched the surgeon's seal, a dark golden runic luster appeared on the surface of his body.
At the same time, Dean Mason pushed Su Lun out with a gentle push. An extremely mysterious nine-pointed star formation lit up at the old man's feet.
With the condensation of this technique, a mysterious stone door carved with ancient runes appeared behind the old man.
The rune stone door lit up with a dazzling light, and looking around, it seemed like it led to an abyss-like world behind the door.
The old dean’s face was neither happy nor worried, and his clothes were windless and automatic. He was like a true **** descending, with a domineering and fearless look in his eyes that looked down upon the world. The whole person's aura suddenly changed, as if enveloped in a layer of indescribable brilliance. He raised his hands and feet as if he had activated the power of the vast starry sky.
The more the technique condenses, the more surging it becomes. The violent fluctuations in the laws of space are like a sign before a volcanic eruption, giving people a feeling like the end of the world.
The old man moved his hands forward, and a low groan came from somewhere: "Divinity: World Exile!"
Looking at the start of the technique, Su Lun knew it was not simple, but when his eyes recognized the grade of the technique, he was also surprised.
I didn’t expect it to be a magical skill?
Even if this old man was not a god-level powerhouse back then, he was at least a demigod.
But because of the cursed space, the spells in front of me only have some shapes, rather than the power of real divine spells.
But even so, Su Lun was shocked when he saw it.
And obviously, the cost of performing this technique is definitely not small. Su Lun only glanced at it and saw that the old man's originally rosy skin had become as dry as firewood to the naked eye.
Faced with a monster that couldn't be killed or sealed, Dean Mason didn't use this trick before, but he did it now. It obviously came at a huge cost.
However, Su Lun had no intention of caring about the old dean. At this moment, he was excluded by the barrier. He was surrounded by all kinds of endless void monsters, and he was also in danger.
"Attendant Flame Emperor!"
Su Lun looked at the gravel-like void insect, and blazing flames surged around his body.
The black umbrella spirit in his hand was released, and countless threads spread out from the cross above his head, wrapping him up.
The corpses of void bugs fell down in large swaths.
You can't escape by running away. If you go out now, the situation outside will be even worse. His only hope was to hold on until the old man killed the [Two-Way Insect].
Fortunately, the space in this passage is limited, Su Lun does not have to deal with enemies from all directions, he only has to deal with the monsters coming from the direction of the entrance.
He used various one-handed pinching techniques to achieve the ultimate defense; with the other hand, a black hole condensed, and everyone in the Dawn Group moved towards the hole.
Sword energy, fist strength, guns, bullets and artillery are as dense as a storm. He spits out exaggerated tongues of fire several meters long from his palms. Those void monsters that come into close contact are already brittle and almost all end up being wiped out in ashes
Fortunately, I got the [Void Channel Forbidden Clockwork] in my hand. The passive effect of this thing is to stabilize the void within a certain range. Su Lun did not tear apart the space due to violent energy fluctuations, and was immune to those ranged space shock injuries.
But this intensity of firepower can last for a while, but it will never last.
While fighting, Su Lun paid attention to the battle in the barrier with his peripheral vision.
At this moment, Dean Mason was like a god. White magic light condensed in his hands, and he actually grabbed the body of the mud monster with his bare hands. Instead of being reduced in dimension, he pushed the monster's body into the rune stone door behind him like a tug of war.
[Two-dimensional Insect] is like a poisonous snake caught in the gate of life, its head has been stuffed in, and the body is still outside the stone door. It is constantly being pricked with needles, trying its best to resist and not want to enter the unknown world.
Seeing this, Su Lun roughly understood the principle of this magic. The old man seemed to want to banish the monster to another world?
It can't be killed or sealed, so this seems to be the only option.
Su Lun was thinking in his mind, when a long tentacle came out and penetrated his rune-gold body with a "snap". Under the flesh and blood, all the rune bones were visible. The space shock not only injured his flesh, but also caused a sharp tremor in his heart. He couldn't help but utter a fishy throat, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
Su Lun ignored his injuries and saw the monster a hundred meters away. Without hesitation, he drew out his black sickle and slashed at it with a few knives.
The fourth-order lord-level tentacle monster was cut into several pieces.
The attacks of the monster wave became more and more fierce. There were still blood stains on the corners of Su Lun's mouth, but a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.
He made the right bet, the situation for the old dean has been decided!
In a time that disappeared into history, the teachers and students of Toxt Alchemy Academy stopped the void invasion at a tragic cost.
Now that it has become a cursed space, the plot should be similar. Su Lun killed Mafa's "variables" and exposed the [Insect Mother]'s conspiracy in advance. In theory, it will only be more powerful.
A few minutes later.
Dean Mason has stuffed most of the body of the [Two-Way Insect] into the rune stone door, and the monster is unable to recover.
However, the old man's condition was also very bad. His body was like burnt soot, disintegrating bit by bit into the endless void.
"This magic consumed his life?"
Su Lun understood.
At this time, the old dean with a golden face threw the two-dimensional insect into the void gate, and his body completely collapsed.
At the last moment, he looked back at Su Lun, with a look of entrustment in his eyes.
Su Lun also understood and nodded.
Across time and space, he paid tribute to the great alchemist who lived countless thousands of years ago.
No matter what, this kind of person deserves respect.
[Two-Way Insect] was exiled to an unknown location, and Dean Mason also died on the spot.
Without the leadership of the "Insect Mother", the void monsters in the laboratory that had been attacking madly just now suddenly collapsed into a piece of loose sand.
Without instructions and goals, they instinctively sensed that the human in front of them was not easy to deal with, and they immediately collapsed.
Nine out of ten monsters in the corridor were eliminated, and Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, a thought came to his mind: "Did I end the main plot of this cursed space early?"
Under normal circumstances, the void invasion will last for three days.
But no one has ever come out of this tunnel alive before, and no one knows what happened.
The current situation is that the ultimate wave of SS has been killed, and the Void Zerg has completely become a mess without the [mother worm]. There is a high probability that they will not organize any large-scale attacks again.
The cursed space has been cracked?
No.
Apparently not.
The main will of this space is definitely not a "monster", but "Herbert Hilbery".
Su Lun turned his eyes and felt that the remaining will of that guy should be in Laboratory Zero.
There are plots to discover later.
As soon as the old dean died, the space barrier also disappeared.
When Su Lun wanted to harvest the "grey mist" of the great alchemist, he found that there was nothing where his body was scattered.
This kind of thing often happens in the cursed space. After all, it is someone else's memory scene, not the main will, they are all supporting roles. It’s hard to say what can be saved.
Just when he felt extremely regretful, a simple rune stone gate slowly condensed out of the void.
From a distance, one can feel a strong mysterious aura.
【Void Walker's Any Door】

Curse characteristics: You can use this alchemy object to shuttle between the current coordinates and the fixed marked coordinates. The transmission distance is affected by energy and law understanding; solidify the divine spell [World Exile], you can use it to travel between planes ; If you have not mastered the use of space laws, or have forcibly traveled beyond the leap distance beyond your ability, the void will tear your soul and body apart; when using this magic, the space displacement will be converted into an equivalent amount of time, and the corresponding life span will be reduced;

Su Lun was overjoyed and felt shocked.
"Hey, is this the cursed stone door that the old dean used before?"
When he saw the identified information, he realized that the magic [World Exile] was actually attached to the cursed object?
As for the coordinates, they are probably the alien plane where the monster was exiled.
When he saw the words "can be used as advanced material", Su Lun became a little jealous.
This time he came to venture into the secret realm to find professional advancement materials related to void abilities.
Isn’t this good?
Not just good, it’s simply great!
It has a large void ability bonus, and can also directional coordinate displacement and ultra-long distance teleportation.
It was far beyond his expectations.
However, the quality of this item was too high, and the 1% success rate made him frown.
"Not enough space affinity?"
Su Lun’s first reaction was the [Void Gene Potion].
The affinity is not enough, so I need to use potions.
The information I got before said that there happens to be one in "T11 Area"?
Now that the tide of monsters in this laboratory has subsided, and the danger is much less than before, he must go and have a look.
