"Oh? Should I give you a medal first, then?"
Zhang Ge, who unknowingly missed a chance to die, tightened his grip on the gun handle several times, but finally gave up the tempting idea of shooting this guy to death in a fit of emotion.
"I have too many of those things already. If you want to thank me more practically, then aim at my lenses and fire a shot. At least, I don't want to die in the hands of those... hmph, it's meaningless to say this to you."
Unexpectedly, this bastard is actually quite gentle? He's tough on the surface, but in fact, he even considered that touching the secret between the Dark Angels and the Fallen Angels would involve Zhang Ge, and didn't say what he originally wanted to say.
How did this kind of person become a Fallen Angel?
However, Zhang Ge did not intend to fulfill the other party's wish. He was not a Dark Angel, and keeping this person might have future troubles, so why not keep him?
"If you can prove to me that this device can really generate the so-called 'small black hole,' then I will let you go."
"I have heard similar promises countless times, and I have endured similar betrayals countless times. Mortal, if you don't even have the courage to fire a shot, then get lost."
Seeing that he didn't seem to intend to continue speaking, Zhang Ge didn't care. After having a few people keep an eye on him, he walked towards the control panel himself.
Seeing this scene, the other party instead had the intention to speak, mocking:
"That device has strict Authorization Protocol. You can't possibly..."
Before he could finish speaking, a rumble like thunder resounded from the huge instrument. If someone had exposed skin at this moment, they would be able to directly feel a slight static electricity lingering after the sound, which was the secondary effect caused by the activation of the energy array.
Surging energy converged into the core of the machine from all directions, and countless gears and parts meshed together in a cry to be awakened. The countless sounds converged and eventually formed a vague tone like a dull Choral Resonance.
Unlike the vague tone that others heard, Zhang Ge, who was in it, really heard the sound... or even a device manual and usage tutorial.
In short, this thing is indeed a Singularity Generator, but not a gravitational singularity, but a Temporal Singularity.
It is a Chronal Reversion Device from the Golden Age.
That's right, the so-called "generating a small black hole" is just a peripheral product caused by the operation of the device.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not difficult to guess... This thing caused a storm when it was dormant. The effect of starting it is just to amplify this "storm" in the dormant state countless times?
This is like a computer generating waste heat in sleep mode. After it is turned on, you tell me that its function is to make it generate more waste heat? Isn't that pure nonsense?
The reason why no one discovered the true purpose of this device before... is just like what the Fallen Angel said.
The Authorization Protocol is too strict.
To the extent that what they did before was just wake up the machine, and then they couldn't get in when it came to the password input stage... It's just that they didn't realize this, and instead happily regarded "generating more waste heat" after the screen lit up as the true purpose of the instrument.
Approximately the high-end version of sharpening a chip and using it as a spearhead.
Oh, no, a more vivid image would be to let a heat-resistant king notebook heat itself to thousands of degrees Celsius, and then swing it up and use it as a fire-enchanted brick to hit people?
But the question is, what use does he have for this thing? Saying it's a time machine, no one would believe it. Without external cooperation to obtain various parameters such as coordinate data, doesn't the role of this thing tend to zero infinitely?
What's more...
Looking up at the instrument that was happily lighting up, although he didn't quite understand why it was activated because of him, Zhang Ge silently said sorry: Perhaps I will have to betray your expectations.
Before figuring out how this thing will have a negative effect, let's pretend it's a relic and seal it first.
After notifying the Adeptus Mechanicus later, they shouldn't mind helping Zhang Ge transport this fortress-sized thing away root and branch. Then it must be placed in the most heavily guarded shrine, put on layers of protection, and people should be sent to worship it every day.
What else? It's already very difficult to court death now, and if this thing is added, what would happen?
Zhang Ge was speechless.
Why does all the bad luck happen to him?
It's also thanks to the fact that this thing is not like ordinary equipment, so there is room for maneuver, otherwise his dreams next time he sleeps would all be of Vigil Keep.
After making a decision, Zhang Ge just let this instrument restrain the external storm, without further other operations.
Even so, he didn't know if it was because it had been silent for too long or what, this thing still looked very excited, with various Energy Conduits surging, actively executing this only command.
After finishing this matter, Zhang Ge turned his head.
?
Why are you all kneeling? Only Amilia is still standing.
Wait, why does the vision seem a little blurry?
With doubts and an ominous feeling in his heart, Zhang Ge took a short distance forward until he was out of the blurry vision, before looking back at the device.
What entered his eyes was the rolling and surging tide of violent energy. Accompanied by the faint Choral Resonance, they sometimes overlapped into a brilliant starmap like the galaxy, and sometimes transformed into countless stacked faceless heads. Each change was like a great creation expressing its emotions.
However, what Zhang Ge didn't notice was that it wasn't just sound and light effects, but also an inexplicable sense of oppression like a mountain. It was as if he was alone in space facing a huge battleship, or witnessing a planet passing by him, the oppression accompanied by fear diffused throughout the room.
For others, the various unexplainable situations were intertwined and all pointed to the only explanation:
Divine Manifestation.
As for whether it was the Emperor, the Omnissiah, or something else? That would change with what they truly believed in their hearts.
But Zhang Ge didn't have much feeling other than the initial shock. After looking at everyone's appearance, he suddenly felt that he could take advantage of it.
He looked at the Fallen Angel who was staring blankly at the wonders in front of him, walked in front of him, and deliberately said in a low voice:
"Because of your actions, He has pardoned your sins. So, are you willing to join my team?"
That's right, the loss must be stopped in time. If he took the opportunity to keep this Fallen Angel by his side now, would he still worry about being slaughtered by the Dark Angels when he went out? Plan successful.
After Zhang Ge's words fell, the other party did not answer this question immediately, but said in a trembling voice:
"By the Emperor..."
That ending sound was like trembling, but also like letting go of some heavy burden.
After this long sigh, he seemed to sort out his emotions for a while before answering Zhang Ge:
"You... okay, I'll join."
He seemed to want to ask Zhang Ge something at first, but he finally gave up. After agreeing, he stood up.
Stood up?
Zhang Ge was dumbfounded.
No, what about your injuries?
