777 The Gift of the Void

"B...World Line?"

Looking at the bronze machinery, Jiang Chen murmured.

To his surprise, the opposite seemed to be able to hear his voice.

There was no real sound in the empty enclosure. The metal-like friction sound seemed to be directly communicated to his mind. This kind of communication across dimension was surreal, too surreal to be described by words.

But Jiang Chen knew was that when he stood there, he could heard and be heard.

As simple as that.

"Yes, B World Line." The frictions of the metal made that voice sound cold, but he couldn't hear the emotions in that voice. "If we define our past time as A, then you are B, and there are hundreds of thousands of C, D, E... Parallel lines that never intersect now connected together because of a failed voyage, and it made us into a non-existent but ubiquitous specter."

"Is this codebook your masterpiece? ... If you can see what I have in my hand," Jiang Chen took out the codebook from the storage space.

"I said, we are everywhere. From the perspective of the void to the three-dimensional world, everything here is like writings on paper," the voice said.

"...The void is at which dimension?"

"The void is not a universe in which matter exists. It is neither positive nor negative. It is a destabilizing factor in the gap. Therefore, we do not have the concept of dimensions."

There is no concept of dimensions?

Jiang Chen felt overwhelmed with the concept. It was enough to make him understand the concept of dimensions. Now this man... The specter in this quantum state told him that he did not have the concept of dimensions.

"Then...how can I refer you?"

"You can call me Nothing, you can call me Ghost, or Specter."

"Then I will refer you as Specter," Jiang Chen collected his thoughts, and asked the question boggling in his mind. "I want to know why you broadcasted Klein particles to Earth. Do you have any purpose?"

"Of course there is a purpose," Specter replied with a dull voice. "We choose a spokesperson to guide civilization in the right direction, welcome the final battle on doomsday, and finally defeat the heresy. This is our purpose."

"The heresy...you mean..."

Jiang Chen had an enlightenment. All the clues were strung together by a rope and finally completed the puzzle. These Remnants of the Void spent countless effort to transform and guide the history of the world. They used the lure called the Golden Apple to shake the wings of the butterfly...

"The neighbor 20.5 lightyears away had started the journey with us at the same time, but met a completely different fate." Specter replied softly, confirming Jiang Chen's speculation.

However, what still puzzled him was their motives for doing so.

"But why?" he asked his confusion. "If you have been imprisoned in the void and has interfered with what happened in the three-dimensional universe, what's in it for you?"

According to Lin Lin's point of view, they were locked up in the void and it was unknown to the outside world. Where there was no concept of time, they had long since become non-physical specters. And since they became this form, the connection to the real world should also be broken.

"If you ask for motives, then we may have to disappoint you." The bronze machine was like a pair of eyes that peep out of the void, staring at the small person in front of him with no grief and dismay. "Without any reason, it is just because when we died, we died as pure human. If you fade away, the significance of us as specters will also dissipate, so we hope that you will survive."

"We have selected a dictator. In our opinion, only the dictatorial regime has the determination to battle with the heresy."

"However, regrettably, the plan failed. The technology we gifted to them did not reverse the course of the war. The gap between the electric age and the atomic age is not only reflected in physics, but also reflected in scientific thinking. The manufacturing process of the atomic bomb was given to them, but until the last moment, they only completed the enrichment of uranium."

As Specter was saying this, Jiang Chen remembered the U-boat found in the New Zealand trenches and the suitcases inside. If the Third Reich completed it one year earlier, even if it had completed this "miracle weapon" half a year earlier, history would probably have taken a different course in the other direction.

"If we have not guessed wrong, you should already know what happened later."

When Jiang Chen heard this sentence, he could feel that eyes were looking at him through the bronze machine. Gulping, he slowly nodded and replied.

"Yes."

Silence lasted two seconds and a slight tremor came from the ceiling. Jiang Chen suddenly looked up, and some dust fell, causing him subconsciously to take two steps back.

From the sound of this explosion, there was a battle outside, but who could it be?

"There is not much time left to us. The Klein particles in the void is becoming too thin. Sometimes unilaterally speaking is really helpless, but the good thing is that you found here. Although I don't know why, but you can hear every note that I say, without the help of the Golden Apple." The metal tone whispered the final words. "Then, since you are the only one who can find here, we should gift you the last hope."

"The last hope? What are you planning to give me?" Jiang Chen glanced at the ceiling. Large chunks began to fall from above. It seems that the battle above was turning more fierce.

"A special gift; it weighs about one gram. We used half a century of time to send it from the void to the reality."

The searchlight on the top of the machine was lit and the light scattered in the basement. An old fashion looking suitcase appeared. However, Jiang Chen did not have any doubt that what is contained inside would be incredible

"We call it anti-matter."

...

The battle on the surface was extremely intense. Whoever said the group may have back-up certainly jinxed it. This group of unknown armed forces really had reinforcements.

Although they were not better equipped than the Sea Lions, the weapons in the group were also elite. Not only were the rifles suited to the snowy conditions, but also various grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and mortars were available.

They were caught off guard and by surprise, and the squad that tried to flank the wing was attacked and had lost contact. A soldier who was at the door was shot in the head and killed. In desperation, Garrett had to order to retreat the defense and pull back into the tunnel.

The old German equipment stacked on the side entrance became handy. The tank with the iron cross emblem was dragged out. Although the machine gun was no longer functional, it was more than enough to serve as a cover.

"Sh*t! Are they on crack or cocaine!" Blood was on his forehead. Garrett gnashed his teeth and reloaded a clip behind the tank. He leaned out and fired back.

They started the battle with ten people, there were now only five left. Leone's whereabouts was unknown, and Keynes took two soldiers to defend the wing and their fate was most likely a tragic one. The opposite soldiers seemed to be endless. At least ten people had fallen under his gun, but the other party did not intend to withdraw at all.

Thinking about his brothers who had fallen, Garrett's pupils shone with anger.

There was no doubt that they had been forced to a dead end.

Just then, they suddenly heard footsteps that echoed from the tunnel they were protecting.

The footsteps were heavy and powerful, accompanied by the impact of steel.

Looking at what was coming out of the shadows, Garrett's eyes widened. Not only him, but other soldiers also stared at the figure deep in the tunnel and became speechless.

"Don't look at me like that, I found this inside."

It was the power armor!

Garrett knew because he received relevant training.

How could a power armor appear here?

There was no explanation, or the need for an explanation.

Jiang Chen waved his arm to his back before he deployed the minigun equpped on his right arm. The flying bullets only left shallow white marks on his front armor that did not cause any damage. After taking a glance at the wounded soldier behind cover, he looked at the raging fire coming from the tunnel entrance, then a menancing smile appeared appeared on his face.

"The game is just now starting."
