Chapter 873 An Old Acquaintance in the Dimensional Rift
[Importing the copy——]
Located on the edge of the Milky Way, Earth has a history of immense upheaval. The interstellar war that occurred approximately 60 years ago, the first contact war with aliens, brought Earth to the brink of destruction...
During the war, heroes and warriors emerged from all sides, demonstrating a high degree of unity and a united front against external threats. They overcame immense pressure to defeat various enemies from other star systems and even other planes. Furthermore, the multi-dimensional technological integration and leapfrog development promoted by the war enabled Earthlings to successfully spread the species of "Earthlings" to all parts of the galaxy in the short span of half a century that followed.
However, the removal of external threats also meant the re-emergence of internal troubles. The ambitious individuals who had distinguished themselves in the external wars began to show their fangs to their former compatriots. In addition, Earth was originally a place where humans from multiple dimensions were forcibly united, which caused the New Earth Federation government to disintegrate again in less than half a year. All judicial, executive, and legislative powers were returned to their respective secondary administrative units.
Earth has returned to the old era.
Those beings that have been eyeing Earth and humanity have also begun to stir.
And it was at this very special juncture of time that you arrived in this world—
Unlike in the past, this time Cheng Tian and the others received the teleportation light while waiting inside the Lieyang, so the silver beam of light directly enveloped the entire ship, rather than being summoned separately.
Compared to past instances that were either unsuitable in theme or insufficient in scale, the mecha instance can be completely accommodated.
This teleportation light also shows that, although it wasn't a major expedition mission, the Blazing Sun was considered an indispensable part of Cheng Tian's camp and was teleported together.
Having done everything he could to prepare, Cheng Tian sat in the captain's seat, quietly watching the dungeon import prompt pop up in front of him.
But at this very moment, an unprecedented anomaly occurred—
Before all the spatial notifications that should have appeared had finished displaying, Cheng Tian felt a jolt throughout his body. The entire hull of the Lieyang ship shook violently as if it had struck something, followed by a crisp sound of glass shattering.
The next second, Cheng Tian, who was sitting steadily in the captain's seat, was shocked to find that he could actually move!
Cheng Tian's eyes immediately swept over the people around him. Eileen, Bazett, and Smart Head, who were either sitting in their original positions or slumped on the ground, all moved, their faces showing visible surprise and uncertainty.
Moreover, it wasn't just them; Utan's projection communication and the Martian Roots' mental link call were also sent over almost at the same time... Not only could their fellow players move, but even those who were pure servants and faction NPCs could move. This situation was far too unusual!
"Utan! Feng Shui Engine confirmed!"
"Brother Gen! Project the external image!"
"Department heads, conduct a full headcount!"
"Everyone else, stay at your posts and do not act without my orders!"
A series of orders were issued directly from Cheng Tian. Although he was not clear about the current situation, Cheng Tian began to calmly issue the instructions that best suited the situation.
Gen's mental projection appeared before Cheng Tian immediately. This mental scan, which should have included the surrounding scene, was pitch black and empty, as if there was nothing there.
But after a brief moment of shock and regrouping, Cheng Tian keenly realized that the space he and the entire Blazing Sun were in was extremely similar in form to the "phase space" that needed to be traversed when using teleportation to move from one point to another! "Phase space? Subspace? Or... a dimensional rift!?"
Several words that fit the current situation flashed through Cheng Tian's mind like lightning, but at the same time, a big question arose simultaneously.
Cheng Tian had already experienced the power of the Chosen Space countless times. In his opinion, the rules of the space had definitely reached the level of creating a world. Therefore, Cheng Tian did not believe that the current situation of the Blazing Sun was some kind of accident within the space.
He is more inclined to believe that this is some kind of special opening associated with the copy itself.
Considering that mech battles are inherently a fusion of multiple worlds and dimensions, with the bizarre worldviews of enemies constantly being refreshed from other dimensions, the current situation is highly likely to be a dimensional rift-like event.
Thinking of this, Cheng Tian immediately tested his own panel and had Eileen and the others test it as well.
The fact that the personal panel, equipment slots, and inventory are all in good condition is enough to prove that this space is still under the control of the Chosen Space.
As for the information after the dungeon tutorial, it still hadn't been refreshed, and everyone present felt the same way.
"Ok?"
At the edge of Cheng Tian's Dominator Perception Radar, the existence of humanoid units was suddenly detected... and they were both human and machine-like.
However, this is only perceptible. To the mental scan, the current space is like a lump of asphalt that has not yet solidified. While it is not entirely impossible for mental energy to penetrate through it, it is still quite difficult, let alone complete a full scan.
After exchanging a few words with Gen, the massive Blazing Sun immediately moved closer to the humanoid units.
In this bizarre and unique setting, no crucial moment can be overlooked.
As the Blazing Sun approached, the details Cheng Tian sensed became increasingly clear... After confirming the specific scan results of the target, Cheng Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This was something that Cheng was very familiar with—all the humanoid units on the Blazing Sun that were swaying in what appeared to be spatial rifts.
A large number of incomplete mass-produced Gates units, and a relatively complete black machine, the "Warlock 3," with the unconscious Azrael clearly visible in the half-broken cockpit of the Warlock 3!
It's the Principality of Leia's army from "Armored Warriors"!
However, this was not the end. Along with these machine fragments floating in the void, there were also quite a few limb fragments resembling lizards and dinosaurs, mixed among crystal fragments that emitted a strange, colorful glow.
"It's a fragment of a dimensional beast..."
Cheng Tian's expression immediately turned serious.
But at that very moment, centered on the dimensional beast fragments and the remains of the Principality of Leia's army that Cheng Tian had mentioned, a phenomenon resembling the shattering of a mirror suddenly appeared. Then, a huge suction force pulled these remains, along with the nearby Blazing Sun, into the vortex.
