"It can't be cracked?"
In the president's office, Bader received the detailed report from the research station and read it with a frown. He could not hide the shock in his eyes.
He had never doubted the technological prowess of the Radiant Federation. He originally thought that cracking the seal of the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter would be a piece of cake, but he did not expect the research station to give him such a 'surprise'.
"A special substance at the level of a Space Wonder. It seems to be a frozen spacetime with abnormal physical constants …" Bader carefully read the report from the beginning as he muttered to himself.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed as he thought of something. He logged into the intranet and pulled up a set of confidential information. On the cover was the file number and a 'Level 16' icon. This was the confidential level of the information. In the Radiant Federation, internal information was divided into Levels 1 to 20.
Levels 1 to 5 were classified as information that could be made public, such as financial reports over the years. Levels 6 to 10 were classified as ordinary secrets, and most government officials could access them, but it was only limited to information related to their own positions. Levels 11 to 15 were classified as high-level secrets, and all traces of access were recorded. Furthermore, based on the reader's resume and reading authority, there would be appropriate erasures in the information to hide some details. Levels 16 to 19 were classified as top secrets, and basically, only high-ranking officials with real power could access them. Levels 20 to 20 were classified as special information, and no one was allowed to take the initiative to access them. It was almost never made public.
"Verifying identity … Welcome, Your Excellency President. You have Level 19.5 reading authority. You have the right to view the complete information. Removing smears … Removal complete."
Bader tapped the virtual screen with his finger and flipped the page. The title page was the title of the information.
"Spacetime Freezer's Files"!
This Primordial One had once served the Radiant Federation during the exploration era. The Radiant Federation kept his file, and it contained information that was countless times more detailed than the outside world, including the records and analysis of his Esper Ability. After Bader finished reading the research report on the Spacetime Amber, he immediately thought of this Primordial One, whose ability was somewhat similar.
The leaders of Universal Civilizations had all undergone special training. They knew the history, confidential information, and technology of their own civilization like the back of their hand, and they formed a Memory Palace to store it. These were all compulsory courses, which was why Bader could immediately recall the existence of the Spacetime Freezer.
"[Spacetime Freezer] Frogo has the ability to freeze spacetime. This ability is listed in the 'Super High Risk Esper Ability List'. It can freeze the time and space of a specific area or target, and it can greatly affect Beyond Grade As. Its effect far exceeds the spacetime spells of the Mage class. He once froze an entire planet [See Appendix B-004 for details]. He has also frozen enemy fleets many times on the battlefield, causing the enemy to be unable to fight back, allowing our fleet to nibble away at the enemy. This ability has reversed hundreds of local wars [See Appendix B-027 for details] …
According to our investigations, Frogo has to continuously consume energy to maintain the spacetime freezing effect in an area [See Appendix A-001 for details]. If the energy supply is cut off, the freezing effect will quickly disappear. The usage of this ability can be fine-tuned. Frogo once used the method of freezing the space around him to defend himself. It has the best defense against physical objects and most forms of energy, but it is not immune to psychic attacks that directly affect the mind. Subsequent tests have shown that although this ability can imprison souls, it is unable to stop the consciousness of souls. This is the flaw of Frogo's Esper Ability, proving that his' Spacetime Freeze 'is not perfect …
Frogo sacrificed himself in the battle of Planet Millennium [See Appendix B-1940 for details]. His body disappeared without a trace.
Bader frowned and pondered. "It is indeed very similar. Could there be a connection between the two … But even Frogo himself does not have the ability to materialize frozen spacetime. What is this …"
Naturally, he did not know that the Spacetime Amber had wandered the universe for many years and absorbed all kinds of cosmic radiation. It had already mutated. Esper Abilities were the product of genetic mutation. Frogo's ability was flawed. Although he could freeze spacetime, he could not defend against psychic attacks. However, the Spacetime Amber no longer had this flaw after it mutated. Even psychic attacks could not penetrate the amber it created.
After thinking about it, Bader sent this information to the head of the research department, hoping that it would be of help to his research. After completing this task, Bader rubbed his forehead in frustration and helplessness.
The difficulty of deciphering the Spacetime Amber was beyond his expectations. Bader was now a little uncomfortable. He thought that he had taken the trump card of the Arcane Church, but he could only look at it and could not use it. It was just a decoration.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that even if the Arcane Church took it back, Ethereal would not be able to decipher this thing.
This should have been a headache for the Arcane Church, but now it was their turn to have a headache. They even offended the Arcane Church because of this and only took back something that no one could use …
So what was the point of us taking this thing back?!
Being the oriole behind the mantis seemed to be a huge loss!
Bader was very annoyed.
Black Star, this b * stard … No, I'm the president. I can't use vulgarities … This Black Star is really despicable!
"No wonder Manison thought that I would send someone to meet Black Star. He also discovered the strangeness of this thing … Looks like I really need to find a chance to contact Black Star in private."
Bader shook his head. He was not willing to guard the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter but not be able to use it.
It just so happens that the descendants of the Spacetime Freezer can be the emissary. Maybe they can find some clues and see if the Universal Treasure in Black Star's hands is really related to their ancestor, the Spacetime Freezer … Bader thought to himself.
…
On the other side, the Arcane Church had the same problem.
After negotiations, the Red Empire had agreed to let the Arcane Church redeem one Beyond Grade A first. After paying a huge price, the Arcane Church got Dylan back from the dynasty. Actually, they wanted to get 'Photon' Sagman back, but the dynasty did not agree. After all, according to normal logic, the first to be returned would be the weakest.
However, the seal on Dylan's Spacetime Amber had not been unsealed. The dynasty expressed that they would let the Arcane Church deal with it themselves. This was mainly to verify Han Xiao's words and see if the Spacetime Amber was as troublesome as he said.
On the other hand, the Red Empire still did not know that the Radiant Federation had stolen the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter. Therefore, Uranril's idea was that if Dylan ran out alive one day, it would indirectly prove that the Arcane Church had unsealed the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter, so they would not be caught off guard one day.
The dynasty did not allow them to unseal the Spacetime Amber, using the excuse that Black Star was in seclusion and did not want to disturb him. What else could the Arcane Church do? They could only do it themselves and let the researchers try to unseal Dylan.
The result was the same as the Radiant Federation. They could not do anything about the Spacetime Amber for the time being.
The Arcane Church was also annoyed, but other than that, they were actually a little relieved.
They were annoyed because the dynasty had tricked them again and they had to pay a higher price to ask the Red Empire to unseal the Spacetime Amber. They were relieved because the Radiant Federation was most likely in the same situation as them and could not do anything about the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter's seal.
Although their Universal Treasure had been taken away by the Radiance – Backstab King – Federation, the silver lining was that the Radiant Federation could only look at it through a layer of protective film. They could not use it even if they wanted to. It was like their wife had fallen into the hands of a criminal, but the criminal was powerless to do anything about it.
This was very comforting.
If it weren't for the fact that they had a grudge against Black Star, the Arcane Church would almost praise him.
Therefore, the Radiant Federation and the Arcane Church paid close attention to each other's research. They wanted to see what progress each other had made. It was like two deskmates stretching their necks to secretly peek at each other's answers during an exam.
With the Arcane Church indirectly admitting defeat, the conflict between the two sides was no longer as intense. The soldiers exerting pressure at the border were also gradually withdrawn. The galactic organizations that were paying attention to this matter all heaved a sigh of relief. As the overlord organizations, the conflict between these two organizations had not completely erupted. Only then would they have a good life.
After a small fluctuation in the overall galactic situation of the explored universe, it gradually calmed down.
The Radiant Federation and the Arcane Church temporarily ceased all activities. The Supercluster civilizations that took advantage of the loopholes also kept a low profile. No one wanted to continue provoking the Red Empire at this time. They were all waiting for the storm to completely pass.
…
The Black Star Corps fleet carrying a large number of black star troopers arrived at the Star System where the Gulal Civilization was located.
The outpost planet of the Pioneer Party was in sight. Under the guidance of the ground personnel, the Black Star Corps fleet landed in batches. From the thousand-meter-long black battleships, army members swarmed out like a tide and gathered at every port.
Other than the proper army warriors, there were also millions of army players participating. War employment was a huge collective event, and it was more interesting than exploring the Flickering World. Thus, the majority of them accepted this Grade S mission and came to participate in the civil war of a Star System civilization as mercenaries.
Half a month ago, the Pioneer Party announced that they would be joining forces with the Black Star Corps. Just the news of the Black Star Corps joining in caused huge waves within the Gulal Civilization. The Ancient Emperor Party and the Descendant Party were shocked, and the party fell into a short period of internal strife. A portion of the upper echelons either fled or joined the Pioneer Party. The remaining hardline members decided to strike first, and the two parties joined forces to attack the territory of the Pioneer Party from different directions.
The three parties did not need to prepare in advance for a war because the long period of division had made the three parties constantly on alert. The three parties divided the territory of the Gulal Civilization and formed three factions in this Star System. They each had their own military fleets at the edge of their territory. After a long period of confrontation, the foreman would be able to start the war with just a shout.
Thus, the Black Star Corps joined in at the exact moment when the three parties were fighting.
After the officers of the Pioneer Party negotiated with the commander of the Black Star Corps fleet, the star map and mission list of the millions of army players were updated.
The Pioneer Party provided the military star map, marking the detailed distribution of the forces of the other two parties in the nine Star Zones of the local Star System.
The majority of the Black Star Corps had returned to the Flickering World to explore, and the rest still had to guard the various bases. Thus, they did not send many mercenaries, and they did not have an overwhelming advantage. Thus, this civil war would not end in a short period of time. The main goal was to wipe out the enemy and reclaim the enemy's colonial planets.
Every colonial planet, resource planet, and military base that had yet to be reclaimed were all battlefield missions for the players to choose from. Thus, there were many opportunities for ground battles. After all, this was a civil war, and they would not choose to bombard the colonial planets. This gave the players a chance to use their skills. With over a million Grade B players, their specialty was ground battles!
After reading the mission introduction, the players were all excited. They had experienced many things so far and instantly knew that this was the most comfortable type of mission. Fighting with spaceships was very troublesome, and the players liked to fight monsters on the ground the most. In this battlefield employment, their role was clearly to clear the ground troops. There was no need to think about anything else; they just had to enjoy the battle to their heart's content.
The size and level of the enemies on every colonial planet were clearly indicated, and the players could choose according to their discretion. The level of the enemies was also very clear. With the current strength of the players, the enemies could be roughly divided into unparalleled ordinary soldiers, Grade C high-level monsters, Grade B elite monsters, Grade B mini bosses, and some famous Calamity Grade bosses.
The players were very satisfied with this mission. They were important participants in the war this time, and they could fight to their heart's content.
Finally, they were not watching a cutscene!
