"It's a coefficient type bonus, huh? The range is quite impressive."
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
The bonus from this talent had undoubtedly reached the level of a template.
Not to mention the ten percent increase in Intelligence, with his current Intelligence base, this was a few thousand attribute points. With the Mechanical Force and Machinery Efficiency bonuses working together, his machinery combat ability had increased by a large margin. He would probably be able to fight against high-level Beyond Grade As with just one Apostle Weapon.
From the interface's notification, the difficulty of awakening Unique Talents was getting higher and higher, but the effects were also stronger. Old Manison had both a single bonus talent like [Virtual Technology Innovation] and a wide range bonus talent like [Billion Mecha Empire]. Clearly, the latter was the final product of Old Manison's many Unique Talents, but Han Xiao had taken it away directly.
"Sigh, Old Manison, Old Manison, you've suffered too much …"
Han Xiao sighed and laughed.
Since the mechanism was getting stronger and stronger, he was not dissatisfied with his first Unique Talent. It was just that he did not know when the next Unique Talent would be.
He also did not know if Old Manison had any other talents that could increase his awakening rate.
Han Xiao subconsciously licked his lips. His hands were itching.
Thinking back, he had to admit that Old Manison's foundation was indeed very rich. It was a pity that they were now on the same side, so he did not dare to make a move. Otherwise, he would have really wanted to go and destroy Old Manison's database. After all, to a Mechanic, the database of others was too tempting.
Han Xiao shook off this impulsive thought and looked at the interface again. The name and remarks of the talent were still waiting to be filled in. He could not help but feel a headache coming on.
As someone who had trouble coming up with names, he had a high degree of confidence in his ability to come up with names.
"What should I call it? I have to give it a proper name this time. Otherwise, if the players use a Character Summon Card to draw it, won't I be in trouble?"
Han Xiao pondered for a while before carefully writing down a name that he felt was reliable.
After confirming the name, the content of the talent on the interface refreshed. The blank box for filling in the content disappeared, and the name could no longer be changed.
[Emperor of War- Han Xiao]
Remarks: Born for war.
"It's a fighting ability. This should be a normal name."
Han Xiao felt that there was no problem, but he wasn't too sure about his own aesthetics. However, since he had already decided on the name, he didn't feel too conflicted.
He was about to turn around and leave the research institute to find a barren planet nearby to try his hand, but at this moment, his communicator suddenly beeped, and a communication request came in.
He took it out and saw that it was the reclusive Lord of the Kingdom of Four Gods, the old man whom he had once beaten up, the Arcana Sorcerer, Joey Tarryn.
The screen connected and Joey's figure appeared on the screen.
"What? You suddenly contacted me. Have you figured it out? "Han Xiao sounded interested.
Joey's expression was somewhat helpless. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "We agree to join the Beyond Grade A Association, but we hope to retain our original freedom. Furthermore, the coordinates of the Four God Nations must be kept a secret, and the other members must not know about it. We will attend the regular meetings normally, and if there are any important matters, we will provide assistance, but we will not be forced … Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao smiled.
These four b * stards had finally made up their minds. This was probably their bottom line.
"Okay, this is a good start. With you joining, the strength of the association will be even stronger. I will not disclose your secondary dimension coordinates, and the association will not force the members, but I will announce that you are reclusive Beyond Grade As, and you will need to be present when you join the association. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay." Joey nodded and hesitated. "Then about the Sanctum Revival …"
"Don't worry, once you join the association, you will be one of us. If you die, I will revive you."
"That's good …"
"Okay, send me all your information later. I will help you register the association's authority and arrange your entrance ceremony."
After chatting for a while, Han Xiao hung up. Ten seconds later, he received the personal information of Joey and the other three. He then asked Philip to handle the entrance procedures.
He thought for a while and called Oathkeeper. He had already discussed with some of the Holy Covenant members, and they would come out when the time was right. Since Joey and the others had joined, he might as well arrange a time for them to join the association together.
Very soon, Oathkeeper appeared on the screen.
"Black Star, what's the matter?"
"Hmm, regarding the entrance ceremony of the new batch of Holy Covenant members, I have already made arrangements. They can come to the Flickering World now …" Han Xiao instructed.
"I will inform them." Oathkeeper nodded, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "Black Star, I have something to inform you. The second set of Sanctum Keys is about to be collected."
"… So fast?"
Han Xiao was stunned.
This matter was handled by Oathkeeper, and he did not pay much attention to it. He thought that the Holy Covenant would take at least a few years to collect the second set of keys. He did not expect the efficiency to be so high.
"Yes, in the list of resources provided by the Supercluster Alliance, there are many materials for the Sanctum Keys. It is very difficult to buy them in the outside world, but these advanced civilizations have them in stock. There are also some more sensitive materials that the civilizations have prohibited from circulating on the market. Some black market warehouses actually have them in stock, and you have transferred them over, greatly speeding up our progress."
Oathkeeper explained.
"I see." Han Xiao understood and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that an invisible burden had been lifted.
Only by obtaining the second set of Sanctum Keys would he truly have the confidence to deal with the cleansing. He would no longer have to scare the three Universal Civilizations.
"Which Sanctum key are you about to collect?" Han Xiao was curious.
"The First Sanctum this time."
Han Xiao was immediately energized.
The last time he entered the Third Sanctum, it contained mostly knowledge of creatures, genes, Esper Abilities, and so on. Although he gained something, it did not match his class well. The First Sanctum seemed to be closely related to mechanical technology. If he could go in, he would probably obtain the most suitable technology for Mechanics. That would be the most profitable.
Coincidentally, his authority in the First Sanctum was also very high, even higher than the Third Sanctum. Currently, he had a total of seven fragments, which was equivalent to seven levels of authority. As long as he entered the First Sanctum, he would be able to obtain another fragment and reach level eight. By then, he would be able to do more things in the Sanctum.
"How is the collection of the other Sanctum keys?"
"Let me show you …" Oathkeeper sent a string of data.
The Holy Covenant had digitized the search progress of the various Sanctum keys. At this time, other than the First Sanctum key with 92% progress, the second highest was the Third Sanctum key with 67% progress. The search progress of the other Sanctum keys was around 40%. Only the Sixth Sanctum was the most arrogant, with only 7% progress.
Han Xiao looked at the progress, then looked at the list of materials for the various Sanctum keys. He encouraged, "I'll try my best to pay attention to these materials. Keep up the good work …"
"Hmm, you do a good job too. The organization won't mistreat you." Oathkeeper said before Han Xiao could reply. He felt comfortable all over and hung up the communication without waiting for Han Xiao's reply.
Han Xiao put down the communicator, scratched his head, and had a strange expression.
Usually, it was him who spoke to Oathkeeper like this. He did not expect Oathkeeper to suddenly change to this tone, which caught him off guard.
Interesting. Is he not satisfied with being ordered around all the time, so he wants to turn the tables and take advantage of me verbally?
Humph, childish …
Next time, I'll definitely speak faster than you!
Han Xiao curled his lips and decided not to lower himself to Oathkeeper's level. After all, everyone knew who was the boss who made the decisions.
"The second set of keys is almost complete. I can consider finding an opportunity to have a showdown with the three Universal Civilizations …"
Han Xiao calmed down and pondered.
According to his judgment of the situation, one of the effective ways to resolve the stalemate between the three Universal Civilizations and the association was to seek peace through war. Let the three Universal Civilizations launch a cleanup, and the two sides would fight to their hearts' content. When the association suffered heavy casualties, they would revive all the members and show the truth that there was no limit to the number of Sanctum Revivals.
This way, while the three Universal Civilizations would learn a painful lesson, they would also know that they could not stop the Beyond Grade As. There was a high chance that they would give up their current strategy, stop doing these useless things, and focus on studying the Sanctums. This way, they would be able to achieve a new round of checks and balances, which should last for a long time.
However, although this method would only cause limited damage to the Beyond Grade A Association, it would deal a heavy blow to the three Universal Civilizations. After all, the fleets, armies, and soldiers that were destroyed could not be revived through the Sanctum. If the direct descendants of the three Universal Civilizations died in this war, even if the Sanctum Revival could revive them, Han Xiao would not let them revive in the same batch as the association members. It would definitely be delayed.
He had two goals. One was to deal with the World Tree, and the other was to protect the Beyond Grade As and not walk the same path as the Celestial Star Alliance. The former was a higher priority.
"Before the World Tree war breaks out, try not to cause too much damage to the military forces of the explored universe. Therefore, we still have to continue controlling the intensity. The association will not take the initiative to start a war and try to maintain the original state. The second Sanctum Revival is just a protective talisman. Only when the three Universal Civilizations take the initiative to start a cleanup will this plan be implemented …"
Han Xiao exhaled.
If he thought about it from another perspective, it was possible that they would not start a war. When that time came, in order to prevent damage to their forces, he might have to go against his original intention and reveal information about the World Tree Civilization in advance, causing the war to break out earlier …
However, whether the three Universal Civilizations would believe him or not was another matter.
"I hope the three Universal Civilizations don't play with fire. It's already good enough that they can maintain the current state …"
…
On the other side, somewhere in the desolate universe belt of the Primeval Star River.
Behind a gray planet, a spherical galactic fortress floated. It looked like an enlarged metal brain. This was a Super Range Virtual Brainwave Amplifier. On its surface, there was a matrix of intrusive quantum network base stations, which could hide the data packets sent out to a certain extent and increase the strength of the Virtual Intrusion.
Around it were two circular mechanical devices, one horizontally and one vertically encircling the Virtual Brainwave Amplifier like two star rings. This was the Radiant Federation's Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device. Outside the teleportation device, there were high-level concealment devices floating like buoys, providing multi-frequency shielding for this area, blocking all kinds of detection, including prophecy abilities.
At this moment, Mornisa and the doppelgangers of several Beyond Grade A Mechanics were inside the Virtual Brainwave Amplifier, sitting in their respective positions. They were all direct members of the three Universal Civilizations.
After two to three months of preparation, the three Universal Civilizations finally agreed to this cooperation project. Those participating in this operation were all direct Beyond Grade A Mechanics, led by Mornisa and assisted by the three Universal Civilizations. They came to the Primeval Star River to invade Manison's database.
The three Universal Civilizations took out a lot of cutting-edge equipment and even agreed to share the computing power of their main artificial intelligences to help with the invasion. This was all for the sake of successfully destroying Manison's database and catching him off guard.
"The Virtual Brainwave Amplifier and intrusive quantum network base stations are operating at full power. The Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device is in the preheating stage. The Radiant Federation, Red Empire, and Arcane Church's main artificial intelligences have been allocated computing power. The invasion path has been calibrated, and the preparation is complete. Please give further instructions."
The artificial intelligence's emotionless voice sounded in the room.
Mornisa glanced at her teammates, and a red light flashed in her mechanical doppelganger's eyes. She said firmly, "Don't worry.
"Everyone, let's do it!"
