From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"Beep...beep..."

In the cold, damp, and invisible underground space, you can clearly hear the sound of water droplets falling on the stone bricks.

"Tap...tap, tap!"

However, the footsteps of humans approaching from far away broke the tranquility here.

Light also came here with humans, illuminating the entire underground space.

It is flat on all sides, almost the size of two standard football fields, about fifteen meters high, and extremely spacious.

The ceiling, walls, and passages are all made of granite bricks with moss growing between the gaps, and the load-bearing granite pillars require three adults to hold them together.

To the left and right here, and at the end opposite the entrance and exit passage, are numerous "door frames" with a length, width and height of fourteen meters.

A small square that looks like a sacrificial platform is located in the center, and there are four giant statues with vague appearance, which seem to be deliberately wrapped in soil, standing on the four corners of the platform.

"Tap!"

The U.S. Army led by Lieutenant Clausa was the first to break out of the passage.

The soldiers quickly dispersed, relying on stone pillars as shelters, and relying on the vision provided by shoulder lamps to advance steadily, with the mercenaries belonging to Atlas following closely behind.

Soon, a group of soldiers completed the investigation and confirmed that everything was normal here and there was no danger for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of people poured into this underground space, opened their accompanying equipment boxes, and began to set up high-power lighting equipment, as well as some professional measurement and research instruments.

But Sui Yang walked straight to the center, stepped up the seven steps and climbed onto the sacrificial platform.

Looking around, apart from the four statues, what caught Sui Yang's attention was the platform composed of nine giant floor tiles, engraved with an alternative "symbol"——

It is the head of a human skeleton.

【Blood...blood...】

"."

Hearing this, Sui Yang frowned slightly, considering whether to continue to follow those cold words.

Because he has read countless movies, he always feels that everything at this moment points to opening a seal in a horror adventure movie and releasing some kind of extremely evil thing.

But the skull symbol in front of him seemed familiar to Sui Yang?

Not only Sui Yang, but also the personnel affiliated with Atlas were highly nervous, and the mercenaries were even more on alert to ensure that they could respond to emergencies as soon as possible.

Although the US troops were also on alert, they were more confused.

They belong to the 10th Combat Group of the U.S. Army Special Forces and are stationed at a base in South Africa. On June 3, they received orders from their superiors to provide full protection for an important figure and rushed to Ghana in West Africa.

On June 4, the Atlas cargo ship arrived at the Port of Accra. After completing the rendezvous, it took a short rest and then went deep into the primeval forest of Komoe.

At first, this group of American soldiers only regarded this operation as a regular "bodyguard" mission.

However, before entering the ruins, Sui Yang said to them: "Children, you are the warriors chosen by me...especially you, Second Lieutenant Jack Krausa."

Those words, coupled with the current situation, inevitably made all the soldiers wonder, was Sui Yang going to sacrifice them?

After all, they have been influenced by movies, TV, comics and other media since they were young, and they believe that superheroes and super villains in this world are born and formed naturally.

Due to obeying orders and not receiving any substantial threats, relative peace was maintained.

On the other hand, Sui Yang, who had been mistaken for having the potential of a supervillain by Jack Clausa and other US troops, finally decided to take a gamble after pondering for a few seconds. He pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist with his right hand and slashed the palm of his left hand.

The bright red blood couldn't stop falling downwards.

"Tick tock!"

The moment the blood beads hit the brick surface, they splashed around like they exploded.

More and more blood dripped, pooled, and gradually flowed into the gaps of the engraving.

Immediately afterwards, Sui Yang noticed a suction force, which immediately caused the palm of his left hand to bleed profusely.

Moreover, the blood flowing out of the body is no longer affected by gravity, but flows directly into the gap consciously. In the blink of an eye, a bloody skull appeared in front of Sui Yang.

boom! !

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from the gap in the engraving.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The stone pillars that were originally covered with moss were wrapped in golden flames, making the underground space as bright as day without the need for high-power lighting equipment.

"Ka...ka!!"

Then, the soil wrapping the statue fell off like glass cracking, revealing its original appearance...

It looks like a giant wearing futuristic but very rough and retro power armor, holding a giant sword with a chain, or holding a gun-caliber rifle.

! ! !

Sui Yang had no time to be surprised when he saw the golden light emitted by the skull carvings instantly focused on him.

"Forehead!"

At this time, he was in extreme pain. His skin felt like it was being crushed hard by an electrified ironing board, burning and stinging, and the blood in his body was about to "boil."

Fortunately, the severe pain is fleeting, and once it subsides a little...

On the contrary, Sui Yang felt refreshed and extremely comfortable. His hearing, vision and other senses were further strengthened, and he could even vaguely sense the emotional fluctuations around him?

Sui Yang, who had completely stabilized his mind, looked at the giant statues around him, combined with the skull symbol, and the changes in his body...

‘This damn thing isn’t psychic! ’

The reason why he cursed in his heart was because Sui Yang judged that his time travel was inseparable from the monsters of "Warhammer 40k"!

Isn’t the giant statue on the altar the Astartes, who is known as the "Angel"?

The skull is also the symbol of the human empire, and Sui Yang also believes that the source of the cold and ruthless voice in his mind is most likely the human emperor who "only loves the whole, not the individual"!

Could it be that he was chosen by the emperor to travel to this parallel world mixed with American TV series, game characters and settings?

Sui Yang didn't know, but he knew that once it was related to "Warhammer 40k", it meant that demons, subspace, Chaos evil gods and other weird things also existed.

"..."

He was speechless.

To be honest, the idea of ​​​​playing badly almost prevailed, but more of it was that they had survived for more than a hundred years, and there was still a little time left?

Moreover, in theory, when he traveled to a world involving subspace knowledge, he would be immediately targeted by the evil god, but he was still safe and sound.

"Mr. Sui! The door is really open!"

The sudden reminder interrupted Sui Yang's brief distraction.

Hearing the sound and looking over, he found that the 14 x 14 meter threshold in front of him had been transformed from granite to liquid metal like mercury.

Seeing this, and based on the "door to other worlds will open" and "it's up to you to decide whether humans can survive" in his mind, it shows that he has a lot of room for maneuver.

The current priority is to explore the world on the other side of the first door, and try to let Atlas "learn from its strengths and weaknesses" to obtain cross-era weapons and equipment.

After having an absolute technological advantage, it is to solve the so-called "superhuman" hidden dangers in this world and ensure that Atlas is the only one.
