The Death Knell

Su Ming knew that the Shi'ar Empire possessed star gate technology, which could directly connect planetary systems without having to make any jumps or conventional advancements to cross the blank areas between galaxies.

The so-called blanks are actually patches of gravel, meaningless areas.

The advantage of the Stargate is that it can build a transportation network within the empire, which means that many space vehicles in the Shi'ar Empire do not need to be equipped with jump engines, which can save a lot of costs.

You don't need a jump engine to run domestic cargo or visit relatives and friends. Ordinary people can afford these cheap spaceships.

Drive a spaceship to the star gate of your planet system, queue up, get in, and be automatically 'launched' by the star gate to another star gate in the destination galaxy, just like two people playing a game of throwing and catching a ball.

There are hundreds of such star gates in the Shi'ar Empire, as well as some small ones. They have a portable star gate that can teleport army units.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Just like during the previous civil war, due to some unknown principles, there is only one giant star gate in each planetary system. Once the original star gate is blocked, regular traffic will be cut off, and it is very easy to form a separatist confrontation. situation.

Of course, except for the battleships in this case, the Shi'ar Empire has the largest fleet in the universe. At the same time, their transition technology is also diverse, and even the battleships of different member states are different.

The miniature star gate in front of everyone now does not know where it leads, but it seems to be relatively stable, and the flesh of carbon-based organisms can withstand space travel.

Su Ming was not polite and walked over. This was a different feeling than passing through the magic portal.

There are many types of magic portals, including the stable version like Karma Taj, the disgusting version like Faltin, and of course the different tentacle versions of Mysterio and the Upside Down, as well as all kinds of demon portals, etc. .

But this is technology, and the user does not need to have any superb physical fitness or ability. As long as the previous generations have built this door, future generations can use it even as a baby. This is the advantage of technology.

The star gate seems to be a space energy vortex, but when you pass through it, you feel nothing. It is as easy as leaving the bathroom after going to the bathroom.

Everyone and a dog came to the surface of a desolate planet. To be precise, it was the surface of a destroyed planet. If everyone could not breathe in the universe, this would really not be a good place.

He flew upwards and then landed quickly. Under his night vision, everywhere he looked were craters with pits and pits, one inside another. Maybe this place had been completely bombed a long, long time ago.

Not far away is the huge pink gem, sitting on a high platform made of blue metal, emitting a strange light.

"Is your royal family getting married here?" Su Ming turned his head left and right and looked around. It was really a barren land, not to mention hairy, it didn't even have an atmosphere: "It's quite troublesome to arrange it every time."

Lilandra smiled, and she led everyone towards the crystal: "Master, can you guess where this is?"

"Of course, this should be the McCallan home planet, the civilization of the previous owner of the crystal, and the Death Star that was destroyed by the Shi'ar Empire." Deathstroke kicked the ground with his foot, and the black gelatin was scratched off After one layer, the glassy structure below was revealed: "It seems that before you bombed the sun of this planetary system to cause a supernova explosion, you also conducted a fleet bombardment here."

The eldest princess shook her head innocently. She walked up the steps. The collision between the metal and the soles of her shoes did not make any sound:

"It's not me. I love peace. Even if my ancestors did do that, I don't know why. But as you can see, such destructive power did not affect the crystal. It is still intact."

"You mean this?"

Su Ming walked to the crystal, glanced at it for a few times, and then pressed it with a sudden palm.

This action shocked Daisy. After all, she had heard about the consequences of contact with crystals before. It was like Russian roulette.

She was not mentally prepared for Deathstroke's sudden attack. Should she touch it too?

But the bad outcome she expected didn't happen.

From Deathstroke himself to the entire crystal and even the nearby universe, there was still no change after more than ten seconds of silence. Only this faint pink light remained the same in the darkness.

The crystal as huge as a tennis court was still there, and in the light, Deathstroke had a smile on his face and slowly turned his head to look at the eldest princess.

Lilandra showed admiration in her eyes. Deathstroke was worthy of the title of Supreme Mage, regardless of his wisdom or courage.

Without waiting for the other party to ask questions, she took the initiative and put her hand on the pink crystal: "Of course, I said before, this is just a wedding venue, and this crystal is also fake."

"I know, since you said the crystal is in the 'world', then here, on the McCarran Death Star, which still exists in the universe, the crystal on it cannot be real."

Su Ming was not surprised at all. Maybe ordinary people would immediately believe it when they saw a gem that matched their imagination. But Deathstroke was a patient with late-stage Gotham Syndrome. How could he trust others so easily?

"When getting married, newlyweds have to swear an oath to a crystal, and there are many relatives and friends around to attend the wedding. If someone accidentally touches a real crystal, the happy event may turn into a funeral. This has really happened in the past. , the emperor and the empress both died suddenly at the wedding ceremony, and the country was in trouble or something."

Lilandra picked up the key in her hand again, shook it, smiled at Deathstroke and others, and then quickly walked around behind the fake crystal:

"So since then, royal weddings have been replaced by this high imitation. It's good for everyone. Tradition is tradition, but no one says we can't change it."

"It's a very smart idea. Please continue to the next step. I think the next step should be the real thing, and you should leave with Dujian. You can't interfere with what happens next."

Su Ming nodded calmly and let Lilandra continue her performance.

"Ready." She didn't hesitate. As she spoke, she inserted the key into the gap between the inconspicuous gem and the high platform, and twisted it.

And the next second, this fake gem bloomed like a lotus. It was still emitting light, and the whole body was deformed, forming a new star gate.

"Is it the real thing this time?"

Daisy held Cosmo with some vigilance, gently placing it in the space in front of her and letting it float.

After passing through the new star gate, three people and one dog came to a very strange space. There is no concept of heaven and earth here, and there is no reference object to choose from. But as long as you look up, you can see the distant space. Dots of starlight are like bright spots on his sword at night.

Su Ming glanced at the sky and said to Daisy and Qin beside him: "A bright spot is a single universe. This is the right place. As long as the special 'world' is right, then the crystal is right."

"Can you find any trace of anyone coming here?"

Jean Gray was floating aside, her eyes now showing a bright red color perhaps because of the light of the pink gem not far away.

"Ah, there is no ground or other interactive objects here. If you want clues, you still have to look for them on the crystal, right?"

Su Ming smiled slightly, and the black and yellow mask instantly rose, covering up all emotions. At the same time, the tentacles formed by strangulation also swarmed towards the crystal.
