Meanwhile.
A great angel in a blue robe, with striking eyes and silver hair, flew through the sky outside the Celestial Laboratory.
She wore royal attire, her silver hair white as snow, and exuded an aura of sacred majesty. She was none other than the founder of Merlot Heavenly Court, the Sky Base King, Hexi!
As Hexi flew past the Celestial Laboratory, she suddenly paused, a slight frown appearing on her cold, beautiful face.
Why hadn't the Celestial Laboratory's defenses activated?
Hadn't they been set to remain active at all times?
Could there have been a malfunction?
Curious, Hexi flew toward the Celestial Laboratory. After landing, she headed deeper inside.
At the entrance, she saw that the Space-Time Shield she had personally constructed had been shattered into glass-like fragments scattered across the floor.
How could this be?!
Hexi's heart tightened.
This was a Space-Time Barrier. Anyone who touched it would be trapped in an endless time-space loop, let alone break through it!
Who could have silently broken the restriction?!
A bad feeling arose in Hexi's heart. At her level, any premonition could be information warning her.
Her expression shifted slightly as her long legs moved swiftly, quickening her pace toward the Celestial Computer Laboratory.
She wanted to see who had the nerve to trespass into such an important Angel stronghold!
Soon, Hexi pushed open the doors to the Celestial Computer Laboratory.
The moment she entered, she saw no one. But after taking a few steps toward the center of the laboratory, she spotted the figure of a human man.
What a man. He actually dared to steal this king's Celestial Computer data!
But the Celestial Computer technology was encrypted. Even if it were placed right before him, he surely wouldn't be able to calculate it!
A chill flashed through Hexi's eyes. With a flick of her right hand, brilliant white light gathered in her palm, forming a sharp and magnificent King's Sword!
"In the name of the Sky Base King, I sentence you to..."
Hexi raised the King's Sword high, streaks of white light blooming from its tip.
But halfway through her words, Lin Ye happened to turn around, allowing Hexi to see the sphere of light in his palm.
The instant she saw it, a familiar sensation surged through Hexi's heart.
That familiar feeling... Could the thing in that man's hand be a Celestial Computer?!
And it had been built using the computational principles of the Celestial Computer she had personally updated!
That meant he had even cracked the firewall she had set up for the Celestial Computer!
At that thought, Hexi was shocked again. Her movements unconsciously slowed as her silver eyes fixed on the sphere of light in Lin Ye's hand.
But why was the Celestial Computer he had created so tiny?
Judging from its size, it was extremely close to the most microscopic particles in the primary biological world.
Not only had it been equipped with the computational laws of a Celestial Computer, it had also used microscopic particles to solve the Celestial Computer's bulky size, effectively resolving its only flaw!
He had combined the hard-to-detect, portable nature of microscopic particles with the computational assistance of a Celestial Computer.
The two together were simply perfect!
In an instant, Hexi understood all the information. Her expression became somewhat complicated as she looked at Lin Ye.
This wasn't theft at all. This was clearly perfect scientific research!
At that moment, the Concept Rewrite Engine's prompt rang out beside Lin Ye's ear.
"Target compilation complete. Type: Micro Celestial Computer." "Its function can assist calculations and increase the Concept Rewrite Engine's calculation speed by 50%."
Lin Ye stared intently at the Sophon in his hand. A fifty percent increase in calculation speed? That would do.
He nodded in satisfaction and controlled the Sophon, invisible to the naked eye, merging it into his body.
Ding! The host's act of handcrafting a Sophon has shocked the Sky Base King, Hexi. The Second Generation Divine Body has been further strengthened.
As the system notification ended, Lin Ye's body trembled. Heat surged through every part of him, and a blazing warmth rose throughout his body.
His Divine Body had been strengthened again?
Lin Ye froze for a moment before clearly seeing the contents of the system prompt.
Handcrafting a Sophon had shocked the Sky Base King, Hexi?
Could it be...
Lin Ye turned around and met Hexi's snow-silver eyes.
Damn. He had been too focused on creating the Sophon.
He hadn't noticed when Hexi had appeared at all.
"Listen—"
Lin Ye raised his hand, just about to explain that he meant no harm.
But Hexi's expression changed drastically. As if facing a great enemy, she raised the King's Sword in her hand. In her eyes, Lin Ye was a human who had silently infiltrated the Celestial Computer Laboratory.
What was more, he had created a Celestial Computer on the microscopic level.
An opponent like this was definitely not as simple as he appeared!
Thus, Hexi spread the five fingers of her right hand and waved them at Lin Ye. Instantly, the sound of a massive object rotating rang out from outside the laboratory!
The rotating sound drew closer and closer. With a bang, the laboratory ceiling was violently smashed open, and dust billowed everywhere.
The gusts kicked up by the unknown object filled the laboratory with smoke and dust, obscuring Lin Ye's vision.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
Lin Ye's gaze sharpened as he sensed a lethal threat approaching from ahead.
Suddenly.
A rapidly spinning Golden Cross burst from the smoke, releasing rings of airwaves. It moved so fast that it dragged a golden afterimage behind it as it flew straight toward him!
Star Fate!
A super weapon capable of spatial jumps through the Wormhole Algorithm.
Even within Holy Kaisha's armory, it was considered a powerful weapon.
Though it appeared late in the animation, its record was outstanding. In Hexi's hands, it became a major killing weapon, and after being given to Lena, who controlled the Wormhole Algorithm, it shone brilliantly once more.
Lin Ye instantly realized the severity of the situation. If his Second Generation Divine Body so much as touched Star Fate, its impact would likely shatter him.
To deal with Star Fate, he had to get serious!
With a thought, Lin Ye said, "Activate the Concept Rewrite Engine. Sophon-enhanced algorithm. Crack Star Fate at full power!"
The next second.
"Concept Rewrite Engine activated. Celestial Computer enhancement received. Calculation efficiency increased by 50%." "Target: Angel Hexi's invention, Star Fate." "Beginning decomposition. 1s, 2s..."
At the same time, Lin Ye raised both hands and pulled hard at Star Fate.
Buzz!
The advancing Golden Cross spinning at high speed suddenly halted, as though it had been affected by an invisible magnetic force and could no longer move forward an inch!
In the void invisible to the naked eye, two computational domains, one black and one blue, unfolded between Lin Ye and Hexi!
At that moment, the black computational domain representing Lin Ye was as deep as night, rapidly devouring Hexi's blue domain!
With the Concept Rewrite Engine and the Sophon's enhancement, Lin Ye's analysis speed completely surpassed Hexi's!
The two fought for control of Star Fate for roughly ten seconds.
It ended with Lin Ye's victory.
"I told you to calm down. I'm not a bad person."
Lin Ye smiled calmly and lightly beckoned to Star Fate.
The spinning mechanical cross flew over like an obedient little bird, hovering at Lin Ye's right side.
Star Fate has been cracked. Obtained 100 Decomposition Value. You have obtained knowledge related to Star Fate, as well as control authority.
At that moment, Star Fate belonged to Lin Ye.
But then.
"You think cracking through one layer of Star Fate's defenses means you can control it?
You're just like those frogs at the bottom of a well on Earth—naive to the point of being adorable."
A cold smile appeared on Hexi's beautiful face.
She had set five layers of defense around Star Fate. Breaking through one layer only granted twenty percent control.
And she still had four entire layers of defense remaining!
"Now that Star Fate is by your side, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."
What Hexi wanted was for Lin Ye to believe he had defeated his opponent. In reality, leaving Star Fate beside him was merely Hexi's trap.
She had succeeded.
A smile appeared in Hexi's wise eyes as she reached toward Star Fate beside Lin Ye.
However.
"..."
Following Hexi's movement, Star Fate beside Lin Ye showed no reaction whatsoever. It merely spun slowly, as though responding to Hexi's words.
Hexi was slightly stunned. No, why wasn't Star Fate reacting?
At that moment.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. You said Star Fate was beside me, and then what?"
Lin Ye smiled indifferently, his palm stroking Star Fate's cold, broad blade.
The more Hexi looked at his smug expression, the angrier she became. Gritting her silver teeth, she shouted, "Star Fate, return!"
She frantically tried to communicate with Star Fate in her mind, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response at all.
A possibility gradually emerged in her mind.
Could it be... No, impossible!
A look of astonishment flashed through Hexi's eyes. Had Star Fate truly been controlled by Lin Ye?
But how was that possible? There were five firewalls. They couldn't possibly be broken just like that!
But the reality was exactly as Hexi feared. Lin Ye had indeed taken control of Star Fate.
In just a few seconds, Hexi quickly accepted reality.
"You've taken control of Star Fate. What exactly do you want?"
Realizing that Star Fate was out of her control, Hexi's face turned cold as frost as she stared gravely at Lin Ye.
It had been many years since she had felt someone suppress her in terms of engine computing power.
What was more, Lin Ye had even taken away her control over Star Fate.
It could be said that the enemy before her was far more powerful than she had imagined!
