Chapter 2444 Do Something
"How did no one notice it already...?" Rean couldn't help but ask.
Kentucky looked at him and saw his weird expression. Without being able to hide his curiosity, Kentucky also spread his Divine Sense to the same distance as Rean. Only then did he see what Rean was talking about. "What is that? Some kind of metallic giant race?"
Rean shook his head. "It's not a living being. That's what you would call a robot, a very, very big one. It's over twenty kilometers underground. However, considering this planet's technology, it is hard to believe no one noticed this thing underground until now."
"Robots?" Kentucky remembered the robots back in the Ruins of Stars and even the robots on this planet. "That one down there is pretty different, don't you think? It's not only the size. Its body structure is completely different."
"That's because of its size," Rean explained. "If you used the same materials and structure to make a robot this big, it would crumble under its own weight. This big guy seems extremely advanced, far more advanced than the technology here on Earth could create. There are plenty of metals I've never seen before, but there are also components I saw back in the Ruins of Stars."
"I see..." Kentucky nodded. "Well, one thing is sure: he looks extremely delicious."
Rean's mouth twitched. Kentucky often eath rare metals in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm since it also helped with his body development. This robot seemed to carry many high energy and rare metals in its composition, so it was normal for Kentucky to want to eat it. "Don't do that. I want to analyze this thing later. There are many circuitry formation runes in this guy that came from outside the Universe, from what I can see. Don't mess with it."
"Hum?" Suddenly, Rean noticed something. "Is that some kind of barrier?" It was very, very faint, so Rean didn't notice it straight away. But now that he was paying more attention, he did notice something enveloping the space where the robot was located.
Kentucky also paid attention but shook his head. "Doesn't seem to be a barrier. It is not separating the outside from the inside at all."
Rean nodded and finally decided. "Alright, let's go down."
Kentucky and Rean immediately drilled themselves into the ground after finding a calm corner. The hole quickly closed behind them, not leaving any clues behind. It didn't take more than a few tens of seconds for Rean and Kentucky to reach the area before they touched that thing Rean thought to be a barrier. Yet, their bodies passed right through, not receiving any kind of damage or pushing them out.
However, Rean did feel some electrical currents when he did it. "I see... It is a barrier, but not a physical one. It is most likely a barrier that prevents any searching equipment from seeing what is down here. No wonder no one found such a huge space right below the city after so many years."
*Crack!*
*Crumble!*
Rean and Kentucky then left the soil, breaking into the space where the robot was located. Surprisingly, the wall behind them quickly began to rebuild itself, just like it happened in the Ruins of the Stars. "There is no doubt that this place was built with the same kind of technology as the Ruins of Stars. This place has to be related to my father."
Rean spread his Divine Sense once again, and only now did he see just how big this place was. "This is a huge facility... It is around twenty kilometers in size from what I can see in my Divine Sense. And..."
Suddenly, several small robots appeared in this distance, all rushing straight at Rean and Kentucky. Rean obviously had noticed it. "It has the same self-defense system as the Ruins of Stars. Careful, Kentucky. They all have Divine Origin Energy Cores, and they seem to be pretty full. Don't forget they like to explode once they are put out of combat."
Kentucky smiled. "It's fine. We already know how to deal with them."
Rean and Kentucky moved like lighting, hitting the robots at specific points and isolating the Divine Origin Energy Cores from the rest of the robot's system. The robots all began to fall on the ground one after another without having a chance to self-destruct. They were all turned OFF, having lost their connection with the source of energy.
Tanxan had given Rean a very good explanation about these things and how to deal with them, which Rean obviously taught the others as well during their time in the Ruins of Stars. In the end, it became useful many years after the Ruins of Stars left this Universe.
Rean and Kentucky also had to deal with several weapons that kept appearing on the walls, but their numbers were many times lower than the ones they found back in the Ruins of the Stars.
Yet, although the waves of robots and attacks were not as intense as in the Ruins of the Stars, they were constant and seemingly never-ending. "Rean, we will run out of Divine Energy if we continue like this," said Kentucky after dodging another laser and getting rid of another robot.
Rean pondered a bit about it. This facility didn't have anything that prevented them from running away. Kentucky and Rean could simply drill themselves out of this place, and the robots and defense equipment wouldn't be an issue anymore. Yet, he wasn't sure if, with his actions, the facility wouldn't suddenly attack the world above.
"Oh, right!"
Rean quickly reached one of the several terminals around and spoke to Kentucky. "Kentucky, hold them off for a few seconds."
Kentucky nodded and spread his domain, this time bearing the power of the attacks instead of dodging.
Rean then accessed the system and spoke to the terminal. "Rean Larks, ID 340184527812, Authority Level A12, requesting integration into all defense systems."
The terminal flashed with countless words in a split second when, suddenly, the facility changed. All robots stopped their charge against Rean and Kentucky while a robotic voice echoed.
-ID and authority level confirmed. Welcome, Rean Larks.-
