At the top of the tall fortress, Yuri's flag had been taken down and replaced by the golden dragon flag representing the Shenzhou Empire.
And in the deepest part of the fortress, Ning Qingxuan finally saw the big bald man whom she had only heard of before.
Just like the image in the game in his previous life, he was wearing a military uniform, with no hair or eyebrows on his bald head, but there was a strange mark between his eyebrows.
This man, who was so cruel as to tamper with his own brain, raised his head when he heard the footsteps. His gray eyes turned and his gaze fell on Ning Qingxuan.
He wore mental power limiters developed by the Imperial Academy of Sciences around his neck, wrists and waist, and even his entire head was covered in a special transparent glass cover that looked like a space suit helmet.
The members of the Storm Shadow Assassin who were responsible for guarding him were all wearing mental power blockers.
Among all the people, only Ning Qingxuan had no protection on her body and was directly exposed to Youli.
——Because he doesn't need it.
There are always some certain people in the world who have talents that others do not have.
Just like Omega Yuriko, whether in the game setting of Red Alert 3 in her previous life or in this real world, she is an extremely powerful telekinetic superpower user who can overturn main battle tanks with her own strength and fight against a fully armed army alone.
Ning Qingxuan discovered that after his reincarnation, he could rely on his personal will to influence the electromagnetic force within a certain range.
Just like the famous A Certain Scientific Railgun Misaka Mikoto can resist the mind-controlling ability of Shokuhou Misaki, Ning Qingxuan is inherently immune to Yuri's psychic power.
In fact, even the experts at the Imperial Academy of Sciences were inspired by Crown Prince Ning Qingxuan to develop technology to counter Yuri's mental power.
With the appearance of Ning Qingxuan, the imperial soldiers around him, even Omega Yuriko, looked at him with fanatical eyes.
A burst of sneer suddenly rang out.
Under the glares of the people around him, Yuri spoke up: "People always say that I am a devil who controls people's hearts, but look at the way these people around you are looking at you, the crown prince of the Eastern Empire, it seems that you have also controlled their hearts."
"I'm different from you, Yuri." Ning Qingxuan was not angry because of Yuri's provocation. He just shook his head slightly and said softly, "You rely on external forces to distort other people's minds, but I rely on my personal ability to win their loyalty."
Yuri didn't comment, but just smiled weirdly at Ning Qingxuan.
"So, you won—you think so?"
"You thought you were immune to my power, so you showed up here in broad daylight. Your Highness Dongfang, are you overconfident?"
Ning Qingxuan looked down at Yuri and suddenly laughed.
"Is your trump card this entire fortress that has been transformed into a time-space machine?"
This time, Yuri's expression finally changed.
"Let me guess."
With his hands behind his back, Ning Qingxuan walked around Yuri and finally stopped in front of him.
"Just like when the Red Alliance collapsed, their senior officers tried to use the unfinished time machine to go back to the past and change history. You tried to do the same, right? You didn't think I wasn't prepared for this, did you?"
Ning Qingxuan shook her head when she said this.
There is absolutely no one in this world who knows better than him what these people will do when they are desperate.
After all, in the previous Red Alert game series, the script of changing history by using a time machine has been played out countless times.
Yuri's expression changed several times, and finally slowly lost its luster.
Seeing this, Ning Qingxuan turned around and waved his hand, and immediately a soldier came forward to take Yuri away.
However, no one noticed that Yuri, who was lifted up by the soldiers, had a creepy smile in his gray eyes as he lowered his head.
Ning Qingxuan, who was about to walk out of the room, paused.
His ability allowed him to keenly sense that the electromagnetic field in the surrounding environment was undergoing abnormal changes.
"not good--!"
Ning Qingxuan screamed and turned around suddenly, staring at Yuri's back.
The next moment, the whole earth suddenly shook.
"Do you think that this is the only fortress that has been transformed into a time machine?"
Yuri didn't turn around, but his hoarse voice reached the ears of everyone present.
"In fact, what has been transformed into a time-space machine is the land beneath the feet of you and me..."
"Your Highness, please leave!!!"
Omega Yuriko rushed over immediately and grabbed Ning Qingxuan's arm. Using her telekinesis, Yuriko and Ning Qingxuan broke through the wall and flew into the sky.
As soon as Ning Qingxuan was taken out of the fortress by Yuriko, she looked up and found a huge plasma-like energy cloud that had gathered in the sky.
That was a sign that the time machine had started.
"Is Yuri crazy? Such a huge space-time transmission will take away the surrounding imperial troops! Even if he travels through time and space, where can he go? "
Ning Qingxuan frowned and grabbed Yuriko's shoulders.
"Yuriko, I can't leave. Once I leave, none of the soldiers here will be able to stay!"
"Your Highness——!"
"This is an order! I still have a way!"
Ning Qingxuan closed her eyes.
Gradually, blue arcs flashed around his body, and the surrounding electromagnetic force field began to distort under his personal will.
The distorted electromagnetic field began to collide with the force field caused by the operation of the space-time machine, causing the surrounding light to flicker.
——Light is essentially an electromagnetic wave.
Ning Qingxuan's forehead was covered with large patches of sweat, and on this frozen plain with temperatures dozens of degrees below zero, his entire back was soaked with sweat.
"It's no use."
In the fortress, Yuri Sen's cold voice rang out.
"I have studied you carefully. The power generated after the complete time-space machine is activated is not something you can contend with."
"Then I'll shoot you first--!"
A soldier of the Dragon Flame Army nearby raised his gun and pointed it at Yuri. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a deafening thunder suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.
With the entire fortress as the center, time and space within a radius of dozens of miles began to distort.
Yuri opened his arms and let out a raspy laugh.
At the same time, in the sky, Ning Qingxuan was trying his best to fight against the force field generated by the activation of the space-time machine.
The powerful electromagnetic force and the lightning storm formed with him as the center forced Yuriko to retreat.
Yuriko, who was originally worried that her highness would fall from the sky, was surprised to find that Ning Qingxuan was floating abnormally in the air.
Then, above Ning Qingxuan's head, a black crack appeared in the sky, surrounded by thunder.
A purple figure flashed out from the crack and collided heavily with Ning Qingxuan...
