Space-time Traveler Chapter 44: Puppet Emperor
The capital of the empire was later relocated and established underground.
After Queen Isabella docked the spaceship near a hidden bay, she re-piloted a fighter plane and took them to the imperial capital.
The spacecraft is too large to be completely concealed.
This fighter named'Thunderbird' has the top optical stealth device, which is enough for them to enter the imperial capital safely. On the way, Queen Isabella also briefly told Su Ziyu and Shar about some things about the mechanical gods. In short, this is an organization with a big tail. After the failure of the psionic soaring, the Empire’s The emperor needs to use the power of religion to appease the people’s minds. The Mechatronics religion emerged at that time. They inherited part of the doctrine and technology from the ruins of the ancient lost empire, and developed a huge scale in the darkest era of the empire. The believers once completely controlled the power of the people.
If only this is the case, the mechanical gods are not a big problem, after all, the core power of the empire is at the top.
But later they did not know which ancient ruins discovered a large amount of mechanical technology, and the core high-level people gave birth to a very dangerous thought. This thought was an important reason for the tension between them and the previous emperors.
Mechanical God Cult wants to build an empire of ‘****’.
This is something that no previous imperial emperor can accept. Empress Isabella also rejects many doctrines of Mechanical God. The blood of the royal family has a trace of madness, freedom and bloodthirsty in its bones.
So.
In this crisis, when Queen Isabella did not know whether she was alive or dead, and the power of the Royal Knights was also severely damaged, the Mechanical Cult decisively launched a coup to seize power.
Of course, they still supported a puppet emperor in name.
That is, Queen Isabella's nephew, Prince William, a guy who likes to be free.
"William has no ability to resist them." Queen Isabella shook her head and said: "Now the entire emperor is probably under the control of the mechanical church."
Queen Isabella was talking, and suddenly there was a trace of pain in her expression.
After noticing that Queen Isabella’s mental fluctuations began to become unstable, Su Ziyu decisively stretched out his palm and placed it on the back of the opponent’s head. Spiritual will helps her soothe her mind.
Queen Isabella must not have an accident at this time.
The spirit was in a trance for a moment.
Then a biting pain was transmitted to Su Ziyu's body along the spiritual connection, but this tingling sensation did not come from Queen Isabella, because she was also a passive connection.
"Help...help me...help me!..."
"Aunt Isabella!..."
"Help me!...I'm so uncomfortable!..."
An extremely painful trembling, even a voiceless mental consciousness passed over, Su Ziyu's vision was blurred for an instant, and then his senses shared everything that Queen Isabella had seen.
It was an extremely magnificent golden palace.
Hundreds of white jade-like steps climbed up the stairs. The main hall directly in front was filled with marble columns several meters in diameter. It looked like a temple where ancient gods lived. In front of the empty hall was a The finely crafted golden throne, every pattern is full of peculiar rhythms, as if it is a masterpiece of a certain master.
But there is no one on the huge golden throne at this time.
Su Ziyu's line of sight passed through the thick wall and entered a special secret room behind the main hall.
A canned crystal with a diameter of more than five meters appeared in front of you. Around a dozen people wearing metal masks were constantly busy in front of various instruments, silver-white metal tubes. Connected to the front crystal, many corrugated patterns are projected in front of a large number of instruments.
"The emperor's mind fluctuates."
"Sedate him immediately!..."
"Doctor prepares."
"If the mental fluctuation is still unstable, implant the artificial brain directly!..."
"The power of the mind suppression barrier reaches 65%!..."
"Turn up the frequency of mind synchronization!..."
In a mess of sound, Su Ziyu's gaze passed through the crystal jar in front of him, and then he saw a naked young man completely sealed inside and submerged in a light blue liquid. .
His looks are relatively handsome, and his eyes are vaguely similar to Queen Isabella.
About 30 silver-white metal tubes were inserted into his body. At the same time, at the position of his brain, near the cervical spine, a small opening was opened. Through the wound, I saw a little white part of the brain structure, and a circle of shallow wounds on both sides, which have been healed by nano-repair technology, but the shaved hair has not grown yet, and a very sophisticated chip is implanted on both sides. , A certain nano-nerve bundle device directly penetrated into the brain, and at this time it was sending out very, very weak electromagnetic signals.
"William..." Empress Isabella let out a painful low growl.
There is no doubt.
The young man locked in the airtight jar is her nephew, Prince William, or the current emperor.
All members of the royal family have good psionic talents in their bloodlines.
Prince William seemed to be in extreme pain, and his psychic energy had a certain burst of energy, which transmitted his own spiritual fluctuations.
"What is that?"
"What are they doing?" Su Ziyu asked in a deep voice after the illusion in front of him disappeared.
This is simply the real puppet emperor.
The extreme pain from the mental fluctuations made Su Ziyu a little bit empathetic. He could more or less know what the mechanical gods did on the current imperial emperor, just looking at the wounds outside. It can be judged that Prince William's head has been opened for research.
"The **** group of rebels!" Empress Isabella's emotions were nearly out of control, with bloodshot eyes appearing in her pupils. Under the comfort of Su Ziyu's spirit, she calmed down a little bit and said slowly: "Yes. Psychic homology device."
"William's psionic energy cannot fully activate the psionic coordinating device."
"They want to transform William into a human-shaped mind-stabilizing wave transmitter!..."
True*Mind Launcher*Fake*Imperial Emperor.
The sequelae of the failure of Psionic Ascension still affect the people of the empire, so the mechanical gods have been unbearable for so many years, because they cannot replace the royal family members and activate the psychic coordinating device to soothe the minds of the people of the entire empire.
The mental restraint barrier is only the outermost design of the psychic homology device. Without the pacification of the psychic homology device, all empires will soon fall into mental frenzy.
When Queen Isabella was on the throne, the mechanical gods certainly did not dare to do anything.
But now the life and death of Queen Isabella is unknown, and even her body cannot be found on the battlefield. This gives the people of the mechanical cult a chance to completely control the royal family members and control the psychic homology device. . They quickly launched a coup d'etat and took control of Prince William, and then sent people to take over the coordinating center under the Golden Palace, and then began to study a device that can steadily and continuously send out waves of psychic comfort.
The core of this device is Prince William.
The current imperial emperor.
"They will implant an Axe chip into William." Queen Isabella's voice was a little low and indignant, and murmured: "Replace his brain with an artificial brain, simplify his thoughts and become a stable A device that continuously sends out waves of joy and happiness."
"Damn it!"
"We are too late!..."
