Chapter 406: Suppression and Supply

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"This is the high-ranking demon?"

The group, with the exception of Yao Yuan, stood about 100 meters away from this demon by the name of Mecha G.o.d Granzon. They didn't dare to stand too close to it. Yao Yuan shrugged. Compared to the others, he hadn't seen the demonic form of the robot, so he wasn't afraid of it.

Then Yao Yuan turned to ZERO and said, "What now? This hall is the central control, but I do not think we humans with our current technology can fathom how to even control it. Those green vines are the technology of the level 8 s.p.a.ce civilization, right? This reminds me, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is in the form of a giant tree, so is this high tier s.p.a.ce civilization a plant-based civilization? In any case, how can I gain control of this illusory s.p.a.ce?"

ZERO shrugged and said, "Normally, you wouldn't have been able to take control of this illusory s.p.a.ce. Even though mechanical s.p.a.ce civilizations are the most common and weakest among G.o.d-tier s.p.a.ce civilizations, it is still a G.o.d-tier s.p.a.ce civilization. The fact that it is holding a high-ranking demon means that most of its defenses and functions are down, which is why a high-tier s.p.a.ce civilization was able to activate and slightly control it. Of course, that is under normal circ.u.mstances

"But for now, it's quite simple. You'll need to suppress this high-ranking demon, and then however much energy, supplies, or programs are released by this illusory s.p.a.ce will be yours to use. Since this is an ownerless illusory s.p.a.ce, it will serve whoever saves it. Saving it is something not even high tier s.p.a.ce civilizations can do but you can!

"For normal civilizations, they could only rely on the vines of this level 8 s.p.a.ce civilization to control this illusory s.p.a.ce."

Yao Yuan looked unaffected on the surface, but internally, he was greatly excited. If ZERO was not lying then this time humanity had truly found itself a great reward!

"Then, how shall I go about suppressing it?!" Yao Yuan realized how shaky he sounded, but he didn't mind.

ZERO pointed at the robot and said, "Get close to him, touch him. Since you're an Immortal, you're different from us; therefore, you'll have to approach him to see beyond its physical facade to its demonic form. That way, you'll be able to exist in the same dimension as he does That is a dimension occupied only by G.o.d-tier s.p.a.ce civilizations and high-ranking demons, the ionic soul layer. If you manage to suppress him at that level, then its physical form will be suppressed as well. It's that simple."

It sounded simple enough. In fact, along the way, there was no combat or battle of any sorts. The adventure had been more surprising than dangerous, so much so that Yao Yuan wondered if this was a bit too easy.

So it looked like the real danger came from the suppression of this high-ranking demon. After all, this was a high-ranking demon, and even though Yao Yuan had no idea what kind of existence that represented, a high-ranking demon was a force powerful enough to rival G.o.d-tier s.p.a.ce civilizations. This was not something a normal s.p.a.ce civilization could even understand, much less suppress, and yet now he had to do it!

"Okay, I understand" Yao Yuan looked at the robot for a long time before suddenly saying, "If I die Jay Wales, should you wake up after leaving this illusory s.p.a.ce, then I name you as the vice-captain of the Black Star Unit to a.s.sist Guang Zhen in building up humanity. If you are unable to wake up Ming Ji Jie, relay my words to Guang Zhen. He will a.s.sume my position as the Chancellor of the human government and all my military responsibilitoes. Liu Bai will take over his original responsibility over."

After Yao Yuan said that, he didn't feel as worried, because the s.p.a.ce armor would record them as 3D images. That would be a strong enough evidence to enable his last order to be carried out on the Hope. Whether or not humanity would be able to survive his loss, he had complete faith in Guang Zhen's ability. He knew Guang Zhen would be a fair ruler, and that was enough.

In reality, his wish was for Guang Zhen to take over his Chancellor role and Ying to replace Guang Zhen as the vice-caption of Black Star Troopers and the commander of Defense Unit, but that was no longer possible

"Okay, wish me luck."

Yao Yuan strode towards the giant robot. Jay, Ji Jie, and ZERO watched on as he approached the giant robot and laid his hand on it.

At that moment, Yao Yuan felt his surroundings fall away, revealing a state of emptiness.

He could not see anything around him, it was not darkness nor light, it was not physical nor metaphysical. It was a state of nothingness beyond the dimensions of physicality and even time. Yes, he had lost count of even time itself. He was unable to tell how long it had been, was it a minute, a hour, a day, a year, or even an immortality.

Suddenly, a glowing explosion occurred in the state of nothingness. It grew rapidly, reminding Yao Yuan of the Genesis, creating something out of nothing.

Yao Yuan felt his head spin as he watched this unfold. He almost fainted from the incredible amount of information that surged into his mind. However, if he tried to focus on this information, it would simply disappear out of his reach. When he opened his eyes again, he had found himself back in the hall. However, when he looked before him, there was no longer a robot but a living mecha okay, that sounded weird, but it was as if life had been injected into the robot. He was "looking" at Yao Yuan. There was a noticeable lack of emotion in his gaze, but there was something deeper. It felt like he was trying to communicate with Yao Yuan.

"Do you have something to tell me? Or is there anything that we can share between us?" Yao Yuan said immediately. For some reason, he felt like this demon's form was somewhat fake, or rather, the feeling this living robot gave him was just one of falsehood; it made Yao Yuan feel like he was dreaming.

In fact, many people should have experienced this before, the knowledge of a lucid dream. The experience where one knew one was dreaming and could sometimes even control the dream in ways that one wished.

That was exactly what Yao Yuan felt like at the time. He felt like this living robot was very dreamlike. He didn't feel afraid like ZERO and the rest of his group had felt. It was as if should he wish for it, the living robot would turn back to an immobile one instantly.

After a while, Yao Yuan didn't feel anything different, he didn't even see anything like the bright explosion anymore. In fact, he started to get impatient. Finally, with a full-body s.h.i.+ver, like one would get in a nightmare, Yao Yuan realized that the living robot had returned to its physical state.

After that, the trio, who had been standing far away, quickly rushed towards him. Before anyone could say anything, Jay roared, "You scared me, Yao Yuan. Aren't you tired after standing there for 7 to 8 hours straight? Also, the robot changed back to its demon form, and then to a ball of shadow, and then it came alive. In fact, it tried to attack you at several times, but it would always stop at the very last moment, and now he has reverted back to a robot."

"7 to 8 hours?" Yao Yuan was startled. To his mind, he had merely stood there for several seconds, at most several minutes, but it had been 7 to 8 hours?

Before he could say anything, suddenly, the gears on the wall, the ceiling, the ground, and even the tower that had been parted into two began to move. As they turned, they emitted a glow that slowly gathered. Finally, the whole hall was swallowed by a bright light that forced the group to close their eyes.

"You did it! You've suppressed the high-ranking demon. Now we will see to what degree you have done the suppression. The greater the suppression, the more power you can gain from the illusory s.p.a.ce!" ZERO yelled excitedly in the bright light.

Then Yao Yuan received the information that the illusory s.p.a.ce transferred directly into his mind. The amount of illusory s.p.a.ce energy he could use was 0.00007 percent

He didn't know how to feel about this number that also represented his ability to suppress the high-ranking demon. To be fair, he didn't even know how to suppress the demon, this was a knowledge that he would have to acc.u.mulate over time. With the increase in human technology and the acc.u.mulation of s.p.a.ce information, he would find out more about the true ident.i.ty of the Immortal and eventually learn how to completely suppress this high-ranking demon. When that day comes, this illusory s.p.a.ce

In the eyes of the remaining three, when the strong glow disappeared, they saw Yao Yuan being surrounded by a convoluted mess of shadowy gears. Their combination kept on changing and they didn't have a constant shape. They only congregated around Yao Yuan because the rest of them didn't have any gears around them.

"Then, firstly"

The method to operate the shadow gears naturally appeared in Yao Yuan's mind. When he pressed one of the gears, the four of them instantly disappeared from the hall and appeared back in the Hope. They had been teleported across such a long distance.

"After that"
