Cole's Deeply Hidden Secret!

"Battle Armor energy replenishment complete. Database model construction directive continues.

Ten percent!

Twenty percent!

Fifty percent!

...One hundred percent. Data sorted, model established. Please name it, Master."

"Call it Yuan's Knowledge Base," Yuan said, too lazy to think of anything else.

He'd give it a more impressive name later, after he established his own Dark Dimension and transferred the Knowledge Base into it.

"Naming complete!" Hearing the database's completion, Yuan felt a sliver of confidence.

"Qiming, maintain the Knowledge Base connection. Begin a covert infiltration of the Warship's central system database. Search for any hidden data under the highest authority." This was Yuan's primary objective for this trip.

"Instruction received. Qiming activating, Knowledge Base connection maintained. External Battle Armor commencing photon signal transmission, initiating infiltration of the Warship's central database."

Qiming was an incomplete Supercomputer, even the built-in Supercomputer of Yuan's Battle Armor. It lacked the ability to manipulate the Dark Dimension, and Yuan's Divine Body hadn't yet installed the dark information scanning plugin.

Therefore, Qiming couldn't infiltrate the Warship's central database by scanning dark information or the Dark Dimension at this time.

Fortunately, the Battle Armor was equipped with a photon signal receiver that could connect to the Warship. Through photon signals, Qiming could perform a reverse infiltration.

As long as Qiming was fast enough, it could directly mask the source of the photon signal and any traces of access.

Originally, Yuan had planned to connect to the database physically and manually, but he abandoned the idea after some thought.

Firstly, it would be easy to leave traces. Secondly, it might cause the database to detect the physical interface change and hide the information he wanted to know even deeper.

A moment later.

"Central system database firewall detected. Knowledge Base data call complete.

Taotie Civilization photon signal simulation, Taotie Civilization database writing specifications, Taotie Civilization photon signal firewall general settings..."

"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell, Dead Song Academy! Where did the Fusion Material I just moved go? Where did it go? Adjutant, Adjutant! This Warship is haunted, it's haunted!"

A Taotie soldier moving materials noticed something was wrong and immediately shouted. Bruis didn't think much of it, but Cole's expression changed drastically.

Sensing the anomaly, he quickly accessed his Battle Armor's computing center and began to interface with the Warship's central system database, but it was too late.

"Initiating full-scale invasion, five percent, twenty percent, fifty percent.

Hidden firewall detected, initiating photon signal simulation. Knowledge Base call complete, a total of 37 valid photon signals queried.

Initiating photon data bombardment, thirty percent, seventy percent, one hundred percent. Simulation complete."

"Success!" Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists in joy, then quickly reminded Qiming to be discreet.

"Qiming, be careful to hide the access path. When the invasion is complete, repair the firewall promptly, leaving just one vulnerability."

"Instruction received. Qiming is deleting access traces. Deletion complete.

Repairing firewall, fifty percent, one hundred percent. Repair complete, vulnerability left.

Accessing hidden database, initiating data comparison, call complete."

"Ding! Alert. Qiming detected photon signal communication from the central system database. Initiating target information detection. Interfacing with Knowledge Base, initiating photon signal frequency band comparison.

Detection complete, target confirmed: Supreme Commander - Cole."

"Heh, the Commander is still the Commander, after all. Not stupid at all. Reacted to a minor change in supplies so quickly."

Cole, who was still in the Warship's supply section, relaxed his tense expression after checking the database information.

However, still uneasy, he cautioned everyone:

"You all continue organizing here. I'm going to check on Your Excellency."

"Yes, Officer."

With that, Cole quickly rushed towards the command center. Yuan, knowing Cole's suspicions, quickly began to retrieve data.

"Faster, faster!"

"Let me see what good stuff you've hidden!" Yuan rubbed his hands excitedly.

Then, he eagerly opened the hidden database and began to carefully review the information within.

The first thing that caught his eye were two completely black spears. The projection rotated left and right with Yuan's hands, as if inviting him to admire them.

"God-Slaying Spear, a one-time God-Slaying Weapon. Lost from Angel City ten thousand years ago, later bestowed upon the Taotie Civilization by Dead Song Academy as a reward for the death they wrought.

God-Slaying Weapon, carrying a small amount of God-Slaying Power. It can generate an Anti-Dark Singularity Effect through God-Slaying Power, posing a significant threat, exceeding the defense range of Super Genes.

Addendum: Due to the limited God-Slaying Power, one-time God-Slaying Weapons cannot deliver a fatal blow to a god. They can effectively impede a Divine Body's actions, after which a large-yield Fierce Tide or other weapons can be used for effective strikes."

"Heh, as expected, waiting for me here. They're afraid the Taotie won't know how to use it, so they even included the manual." Yuan's face showed an indescribable smile.

"Grandma, you were so right. It's always good to be wary of others."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Yuan quickly began to shut down the system. All projections and data disappeared.

"Qiming, confirm again, erase all invasion traces."

"Instruction received. Traces have been completely erased, Master."

"Go into hibernation!"

"Instruction received, Qiming system entering hibernation."

Following that, the hall returned to a deathly silence once more.

As for Yuan? He did as he had planned earlier, bringing up the central data system. Leveraging his understanding of dark energy, he established an experimental model within the central database and began unlimited simulations.

When Cole ran into the command center, he found it enveloped in a blue sphere of light.

Yuan was at the center of the sphere, continuously directing models resembling molecules and atoms to simulate material data.

Seeing this, Cole let out a long sigh of relief. However, just to be safe, he slowly walked into Yuan's experimental area.

"Your Excellency, are you conducting some kind of experiment? The Stellar Furnace's fusion materials are being consumed at a rapid rate. The soldiers thought it was haunted and moved all the materials away."

"Huh? You guys, an Astral Civilization, still believe in ghosts?"

"Hey! You said it. In this world, with all its gods and spirits, who can say for sure? There are so many gods in the known universe, it wouldn't be strange if a ghost or spirit actually appeared."

The blue light reflected in Cole's eyes. Seeing that he was still staring at him, Yuan shrugged indifferently.

"It's nothing, just some speculation about dark energy matter. I'm comparing it with the dark iron material we obtained, to see if I can get some inspiration."

"After leaving the Styx Galaxy, if we want to advance towards becoming a god-making civilization, these materials are an essential step. By the way, do you have any?"

Having said that, Yuan looked at Cole with a hint of anticipation.

"No, no, no, how could we have that stuff? Dark iron or any other dark energy matter are forbidden zones in the Styx Galaxy. Besides, we don't understand these things. Even if we found them, we'd just discard them as useless waste."

"Ah, what a pity!"

"Yeah, it's such a pity!"

(Sigh! This is too hard! o(╥﹏╥)o! Zero Egg ┭┮﹏┭┮)
