It was a tracked tank in the shape of Apocalypse, with a pair of arms on each side that were as big as those of Giant Overlord, diligently hoeing the ground with two pieces of rusty reactive armor.
Upon noticing Thousand Faces approaching, Tank immediately stopped what it was doing.
The turret rotated ninety degrees, and the two dark cannon muzzles were pointed at Thousand Faces's forehead.
"Military mission in progress; unauthorized personnel are prohibited from approaching."
The sound of the tank was cold and icy, full of warning.
Thousand Faces calmly waved his cane, and the tank guy instantly stood at attention.
" The Conqueror obey your commands."
The level of intelligence among Intelligent Brain life forms is generally not high.
Even after being preached to, they will not act on their own, but will completely obey the commands of the Thousand Faces.
Thousand Faces eagerly jumped into the commander's seat. "Great, now we have land, sea, and air forces all together."
The Dharma King asked in confusion, "Did I miss an episode? Where is the navy?"
Thousand Faces pointed to the trash can next to him. "Isn't that it?"
His Dharma King: "How does it resemble a navy?"
Thousand Faces scoffed, "Let me tell you, can it even float on the sea?"
The Dharma King was speechless.
Thousand Faces the Little Eagle: "Mark all Intelligent Brain life forms within range."
The Little Eagle's high-frequency radar immediately activated. "Forty-eight Intelligent Brain life forms have been marked."
A smile played on Thousand Faces's lips, "Let's go, we'll visit them one by one!"
The tank slowly started moving, with the trash can following closely behind on its short legs, while Little Eagle continued to serve as the " Eagle Eye " in the sky.
The success of his first sermon greatly excited Thousand Faces, and he began to call out the names of each Intelligent Brain life form he encountered along the way.
In just over an hour, the army of Thousand Faces had expanded to nearly fifty men.
A bicycle hopping on one leg, a tractor with a machine on one side and rotting flesh on the other, a refrigerator that talks nonsense, a traffic light that only displays red and jumps higher than a rabbit, and there's even a three-story villa...
A large and imposing force, led by Tank Commander Thousand Faces, headed towards the location of Unit Zero, and its size continued to grow as it advanced.
Thousand Faces leaned halfway out of the tank. "I love it here! Now I have an NPC I can control!"
The clones on the Local Area Network were very envious.
I really want a team of aliens like that.
"What did I say before? There's no future in playing jungle with the Captain."
"You bastard, you were crying and begging for mercy back then, you almost knelt down before me, and now you're cursing me after you've had your fill, huh?"
"Hey~ isn't this Captain Hook? How many monsters did you kill today? I heard you went to raid an SS-rank monster the other day, and your ship was almost destroyed."
"Bullshit! That's called a strategic retreat!"
"..."
Tank Commander Thousand Faces was quite pleased with himself. " The Son of the Version will always be the Son of the Version!"
Although the marching column grew larger and larger, they still chose to take a detour when they encountered the Thousand Faces of Wandering Corpse.
After all, this is the opponent's home turf, and with the gray fog, it's an endless cycle.
While preaching to the Intelligent Brain life forms along the way, Thousand Faces asked Little Eagle, "Are there any cows here?"
He had not forgotten his main purpose for coming here.
Seeing Unit-01 was just a side trip; he had to find Niuniu and complete his job change before the gray fog completely Corruption.
Little Eagle replied, "Conventional carbon-based life forms cannot survive in the gray fog. Occasionally, living creatures may fall in, but they are quickly transformed into Wandering Corpse."
"So, operator, your memory is too small. I'm very sorry, but cows are not a living being here."
Thousand Faces his own ID. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm not talking about ordinary cows, I'm talking about a very special kind of cow, you know?"
Little Eagle: "... The database did not find any particularly impressive related information."
Thousand Faces explained, "The ox I'm talking about has probably lived through countless Chaos days; it's the kind that can't die."
The tank beneath him suddenly spoke, "Operator, your memory is too small. I think I know which kind of bull you're talking about."
Because the Little Eagle called Thousand Faces that, all the Intelligent Brain life forms started calling it that too.
Upon hearing this, Thousand Faces's eyes lit up; finally, someone with a brain was using it.
"Tell me about it."
The tank replied, "I Chaos 15,800 days ago, and I have involvement in all areas except the core of the Gray Fog."
"I can confirm that there are no cows outside the core area; that life form only exists within the core area."
Thousand Faces was overjoyed, finally seeing hope that the job change ceremony would be completed.
Is the core area on the way to where I'm going?
Tank said, "The crater where Unit Zero is located is situated on the Sidelines the core area."
The Magician grumbled, "He always seems to get all the good things in the world."
Thousand Faces couldn't help but smile, "Do you even understand the value of Son of the Version '?"
The Little Eagle then stated, "The concentration of gray fog in the core area is extremely high, and it increases the deeper you go. Intelligent Brain life form that enters will be immediately Corruption."
Thousand Faces waved his hand. "I'm different from you. I'm the protagonist, the answer to this version."
"Even the heavens can't take me, let alone mere gray fog."
Qin Ze said earnestly, "Don't set your goals too early."
The Dharma King said, "With these words spoken, it's likely that Thousand Faces will never return."
Thousand Faces disagreed. "The true Son of the Version is the one who can defy fate!"
When the number of Intelligent Brain in the marching formation approached one hundred, Thousand Faces felt a sense of fatigue, as if someone was constantly hammering his head with a sledgehammer.
Although he really wanted to continue catching Pokémon, his physical condition prevented him from doing so, so he had to Thousand Faces up.
Little Eagle issued a warning. "We are approaching the sinkhole."
Because the Little Eagle didn't fly high enough, Thousand Faces didn't make any discoveries, but there were quite a few more Intelligent Brain life forms nearby, all heading in the same direction.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold swept over Thousand Faces' body, and the Son of the Version couldn't help but shiver.
"This feeling is..."
Qin Ze said in a deep voice over the Local Area Network, " Chaos, the Realm of Gray Mist is indeed connected to Chaos."
This feeling of being frozen is exactly the same as that of Chaos.
Clearly, the power of Chaos leaked into this place through a spatial channel-like structure.
Little Eagle reported, "We are approaching the Sidelines of the core area."
Thousand Faces felt his fingertips gradually losing sensation, and the further he went, the stronger the power of Chaos became.
The long marching column came to a sudden stop, as did the tanks beneath it.
When Thousand Faces came to his senses, he found that there was a cliff directly in front of him.
He switched to the Little Eagle's overhead view and immediately gasped.
Instead of a precipice, there was a deep pit tens of kilometers in diameter, the bottom of which was nowhere in sight.
A giant stands in the center of the deep pit; only his upper body can be seen by Thousand Faces.
The giant had half a skull hanging down, and his right arm was missing halfway.
Countless broken mechanical gears and various colored optical fibers are exposed on the surface.
White bone was visible at the wound and the cut surface of the severed arm, and Flesh and Blood tissue were clearly visible in the chest, lower abdomen, and some joint areas.
Through the open ribcage, one could even faintly see a beating heart.
Little Eagle alerted. "We've reached the sinkhole."
