In the free competition zone, in another Star Cluster, the Radiant Federation's territory.
A fleet was hovering in space. There were about two million battleships, and the largest flagship was an Eternal Light. Around the fleet, there were two large mechanical metal rings that encircled the entire fleet, one horizontal and one vertical, perpendicular to each other.
These two super-large mechanical rings, which were even larger than stargates, were the strategic Universal Treasures of the Radiant Federation, the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device.
The components of the mechanical rings were very precise, and a large number of engineering ships were connected to each section of the rings for debugging and maintenance.
At the same time, on the bridge of the flagship, the gathered Beyond Grade As of the Radiant Federation stood in a row in front of the porthole, looking out at the scene outside.
"They actually used such strategic equipment. It seems like the upper echelons of the federation are really taking this operation very seriously." A muscular, bald, green-skinned man with a purple rune scarf wrapped around his head sighed.
This person was Womre, nicknamed 'Aura'. He was a Beyond Grade A Pugilist from the Radiance Federation, and he was extremely good at energy attacks. He was a mutated descendant of a Beyond Grade A race and had superior Pugilist talent. He stood with his hands behind his back, giving off the aura of a grandmaster.
"This is related to the unsealing of the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. It's worth investing a huge amount of resources to activate the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device," Hades said. "Ethereal will definitely make a move. When they take action and stall Black Star's doppelganger, we'll directly use the teleportation device to cut into the battlefield."
"That's right. The fleet brought another set of Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device. As long as we get Hella and teleport back, the battle plan will be completed."
The fleet commander standing by the side said.
The Radiant Federation was different from the Arcane Church. Their goal was to capture Hella alive and force Black Star to unseal the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. Because of the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device, the Radiance had a natural advantage. As long as they succeeded, they could quickly escape from the battle.
The Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device could send people away but would not be able to bring them back. Therefore, this fleet had brought along a second set of Transportation Devices and was equipped with a self-destruct device. As long as the transportation was completed, it would self-destruct to prevent others from taking it for research.
If they could unseal the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter, paying the price of a Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device was acceptable to the Radiance. Although it was expensive, a Universal Civilization did not lack money. With this technology, it would not be difficult to build one. There were countless sets of Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Devices in the warehouse, which gave the Radiance a terrifying strategic deterrent.
"It's easy to say. Although the fleet has brought another set of teleporters, it takes a lot of time to set them up, guide them, and recharge them. There will definitely be interference during this period." This person was called Jackornitz, a Beyond Grade A Mechanical Pugilist from the Radiant Federation.
"That's why we brought a fleet with us. Many of them are unmanned ships. On one hand, it's to speed up the deployment of the teleportation device. On the other hand, it's to protect the teleportation device from being interfered with. We also have Her Excellency Mornisa's Mech Legion. It's enough to cover our retreat," Hades said.
"Hmm." The robot on the side nodded. This was the Lord's Avatar of Mornisa, the Beyond Grade A Mechanic from the Radiance. She had brought a mechanical army with her, which was the best choice to cover their retreat.
"Also, don't forget that Black Star is a Virtual Mechanic. He can invade our fleet."
"Romo and I will provide remote virtual defense assistance. The main artificial intelligence of the Radiance will also invest a large amount of computing power to strengthen the firewall. Although Black Star is a peak Beyond Grade A, he won't be able to break through our blockade while fighting while he's distracted," Mornisa said.
The Romo she mentioned was another Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic from the Radiance. He guarded the quantum network all year round and protected the main artificial intelligence database of the Radiance. He did not participate in the operation, but he would provide remote virtual assistance.
"It's a pity that His Excellency the Mecha Empire won't participate in the operation. Otherwise, with him here, we wouldn't have to worry about Black Star's Virtual Intrusion at all." Hades sighed.
This time, Sierron, who was standing in the middle, snorted and coldly said, "Humph, Manison isn't coming, and Oulou is far away in the Central Galaxy, so I'll lead the team this time. I don't care about anything else. Leave Black Star to me. If Ethereal wants to stop us, I'll deal with the strongest one."
'Star Crusher' Sierron, a peak Beyond Grade A Pugilist, was the leader of the Radiance's operation this time, a member of the Ancient Ones.
On the other side, a multi-pronged crystal floated in the air. It was deep blue and emitted psychic waves. "Leave the mission of capturing Hella to me."
This was a crystal life form called 'Crystal Soul', a Beyond Grade A Psychic of the Radiance.
The Radiance had mobilized seven Beyond Grade As this time — 'Energy Soul' Womre, 'Lone Ranger' Jackornitz, 'Mechanical Queen' Mornisa, Hades, 'Star Crusher' Sierron, and 'Defender' Romo, who would provide remote assistance.
This lineup was very strong, and they had one more combatant than Ethereal.
…
In a certain branch of the Limitless Financial Group in the Garu Star Cluster of the Flickering World, Sorokin's manifestation stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office on the top floor, looking at the dense meteors in the distance. These were all hyperdrive trails left behind by spaceships.
This was an interstellar trade transit station, located in the territory of the Black Star Corps. Not far away was one of the stargate hubs. It was very prosperous and could lead to the vicinity of Black Star Palace.
"A good show should start soon."
Sorokin narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
As the middleman who delivered information to the Radiance and Ethereal, he knew very well how Hella's information would cause the two Universal Civilizations to react. In his guess, Ethereal and Radiance would have a very high chance of taking action.
While looking at the scenery, he secretly calculated the possible scenarios in his mind.
"The Radiance has the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device, so they have the initiative. They'll most likely wait patiently for Ethereal to make the first move. The Mecha Empire will most likely not participate, so Sierron is the most likely to take action. As for Ethereal, whether it's Kasuyi or Sun Hunter leading the team, they'll probably do nothing … Heh, the Meeting of the Gods really affected quite a few people, Black Star. "
Just as he was deep in thought, a magic portal suddenly appeared in the room. A figure walked out and stood behind Sorokin. With a wave of his hand, he extinguished the portal.
Sensing the magic wave, Sorokin turned around and looked at this person with a fake smile on his face.
"You're here, Your Excellency Traveler."
The newcomer was a humanoid creature with gray skin and no nose. His eyes were crystal yellow, and he had demonic vertical pupils. He had messy gray hair and wore a golden headband. He only had three fingers on his hand, and he held a staff that looked like a twisted branch. He wore a brown hooded robe and looked travel-worn.
Traveler, a Beyond Grade A Mage, spent most of his time in the secondary dimensions and rarely appeared in the outside world. On the surface, he was a neutral Beyond Grade A, but in reality, he maintained an unclear relationship with many Supercluster Civilizations. He had also been present during the Meeting of the Gods, but he was very quiet and did not have much of a presence.
"The Supercluster Alliance hired me to help you." Traveler tapped his staff and stared at Sorokin with interest. "Interesting. What kind of deal did you make with the Supercluster Alliance? You actually want me to take the initiative to challenge Black Star?"
"Some things are happening. If I'm not wrong, Radiance and Ethereal will attack Hella soon. At that time, I hope you can go to Black Star Palace and challenge Black Star." Sorokin smiled faintly.
He had secretly contacted the Supercluster Alliance, revealed some information, and made a new deal. He was prepared to interfere.
"Oh, you mean …"
"That's right. If Black Star accepts your challenge, even if he can divert his attention to use his Lord's Avatar, the strength of his avatar will be severely reduced, and he won't be able to take care of Hella. If he doesn't accept the challenge, it means that his main body might not be in his headquarters. You'll have to fight Dragon Emperor Ames. From what I know, he's very close to Ames. This way, Black Star will have one more place to support him … No matter what, you'll be able to restrain Black Star. "
Traveler listened silently before slowly saying, "You seem to want to make the operation between the two Universal Civilizations succeed. What's in it for you?"
"Hella's existence is a threat. I believe most Beyond Grade As don't want to see someone like her alive." Sorokin chuckled. "Furthermore, even if she joins a civilization, she'll choose the dynasty. To your Supercluster Civilization, she's even more of a threat."
"That's not all," Traveler said. "You definitely have a bigger goal for dragging the Supercluster Civilization into this."
"Hehe, that's fine. There's no harm in telling you." Sorokin narrowed his eyes. "Do you think the upper echelons of Radiance and Ethereal are only doing this for Hella? No, no, Hella is only one of the reasons. The other important reason is the recent Meeting of the Gods. "
"Oh?" Traveler's eyes flickered.
"Think about it. Radiance and Ethereal sent out Beyond Grade As to do something like this. If they succeed, how will Black Star react? The other reason Radiance and Ethereal did this is to incite internal strife among the Beyond Grade As. If they succeed, the Meeting of the Gods will only exist in name … "Sorokin's lips curled up." I even have a bold guess that Radiance and Ethereal would rather leave one or two of their Beyond Grade A allies alive in this operation, using the hatred between the Beyond Grade As to prevent them from uniting. "
Traveler frowned. "That can't be. The situation isn't that bad."
"Heh, who knows? I've learned something from my long life … Don't think that you're irreplaceable in the eyes of the advanced civilizations."
Sorokin did not comment.
Traveler stared at him and slowly said, "What about you? You're also a Beyond Grade A, but you're not on their side."
"Aren't you the same?"
"I'm pardonable, but you're a neutral guy."
"Hehe, if I have to say something, I don't like the idea of individual strength being supreme. I'm a businessman. I believe in the collective. I believe in the market."
Sorokin smiled faintly. "No matter how strong a Beyond Grade A is, they're just individuals. Only a diverse civilization can make the cold universe prosperous. Civilization is the cornerstone of society, the protagonist of the universe. Individuals like us who are outside the norm are just dispensable parts of the galactic society. Without us, the world might be more peaceful and prosperous.
The privileges that Beyond Grade As have are already great enough. If we don't know how to be content and insist on reaching our hands into areas we shouldn't touch, it will only cause new chaos in the universe. I don't want that to happen. The fewer Beyond Grade As there are in the universe, the better. "
Traveler was a little surprised. "I thought you only cared about making money. I didn't expect you to have such a side to you."
"You can think of me as the guardian of the balance of the universe."
Sorokin turned around, suddenly paused, and added, "Of course, I still have to make money.
Of course, I still have to make money. "
…
Somewhere in the Emerald Star Cluster, in the machinery workshop of Han Xiao's hidden spaceship …
"Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy carrier, seventeenth test."
A silver and red mechanical body stood on the test platform. The cylindrical container containing the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was fixed above the mechanical body by four mechanical arms. Dense transmission wires connected the container to the carrier.
Philip sat on Han Xiao's shoulder and reported, "Carrier self-test complete, hum … excellent condition. The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy is obedient. Connection activated. Begin energy conversion."
Han Xiao nodded. "Begin."
As soon as he said that, the device was activated. The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy in the container became active and quickly flowed into the mechanical carrier through the transmission wires.
Hum!
The mechanical carrier shook. Its eyes suddenly lit up with a red light, becoming more and more dazzling. The body was vibrating at a high frequency, bearing the burden of the Primal Esper Ability Entities.
Han Xiao stared at the mechanical carrier and fully released his Mechanical Sense, observing every detail of the test.
In his eyes, the violent Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was gradually restrained by the carrier and started to merge with the special conversion parts in the body. The function of these parts was similar to the host's cells, used to contain and refine the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy.
After a long time, the last bit of Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy also merged with the carrier.
Hu!
The carrier suddenly released a bunch of red shockwaves, stirring up a gust of wind in the room.
"Fusion complete, hum … Synchronization rate seventy-two percent, compatibility seventy-five percent, load of the carrier at forty-one percent …" Philip reported a bunch of parameters.
"Finally succeeded." Han Xiao was overjoyed.
Previously, the carrier could not even complete the first step of fusion. Now, it had finally merged with the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy. Although it still needed to be optimized, it was already a good start and could be put into battle.
Creating a mechanical carrier for the Primal Esper Ability was different from creating other mechanical soldiers. The technical requirements were very precise. Not only did it have to fuse with the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy, but it also had to prevent it from seizing control of the body.
Thankfully, Han Xiao had obtained Evans' cell sample, so he did not have to take ninety-nine percent of the wrong path.
