The Control System of the Statues

While the MDT conducted the investigation in the air, Hao Ren observed the movements of the "statue corps." The actions of the black statues lay perfectly before him, like pieces on a chessboard. In the process of observation, Hao Ren found one thing.

The ancient city was full of temples, large and small. There was an army of stone figures outside almost every temple, except for one. The grand temple in the middle of the city remained calm. And the colossi, massed from the other side of the city, seemingly bypassed the grand temple in the middle of the city as they moved toward Hao Ren. They did not even lay a foot on the giant stone steps that led to the grand temple.

Was the grand temple some kind of forbidden place for the colossi?

They did not know if the stone soldiers would continue to obey the ban after the invaders broke into the temple, but at least for now, the grand temple was the only safe place around the entire ancient city.
