Cole's Deeply Hidden Secret!

Armor energy replenishment complete. Database model construction directive continuing.

Ten percent!

Twenty percent!

Fifty percent!

...One hundred percent. Data organization complete. Model established. Please name it.

"Call it Yuan's Knowledge Base." Yuan could not be bothered to think of another name.

Once he established his own Dark Dimension and transferred the knowledge base into it, he could give it a resounding name.

"Naming complete!" Hearing that the database was complete, Yuan finally felt a little more confident.

"Qiming, maintain the knowledge base connection. Begin secretly infiltrating the battleship's central system database. See whether there is any hidden data under the highest authority." This was Yuan's greatest purpose for coming here.

"Command received. Qiming activated. Knowledge base connection maintained. The external armor is transmitting photon signals and beginning infiltration of the battleship's central database."

Qiming was an incomplete Supercomputer, and it was even the Supercomputer built into Yuan's armor. It had no ability to manipulate the Dark Dimension, and Yuan's Divine Body had yet to load a Dark Information scanning plugin.

Therefore, Qiming currently could not infiltrate the battleship's central database by scanning Dark Information or the Dark Dimension.

Fortunately, the armor already carried a photon signal receiver connected to the battleship. Through photon signals, Qiming could launch a reverse intrusion.

As long as Qiming was fast enough, it could directly conceal the source of the photon signals and the traces of its access.

Originally, Yuan had planned to manually connect to the database through physical means, but after considering it, he gave up on the idea.

First, it would easily leave traces. Second, he did not want the database to detect changes in the physical interface and hide what he wanted to know even more deeply.

A moment later.

Central system database firewall detected. Knowledge base data retrieval complete.
Taotie Civilization photon signal simulation, Taotie Civilization database coding standards, Taotie Civilization photon signal firewall general settings...

"Fuck, fuck, fuck Dead Song Academy! Where did the Fusion Material I just moved go? Adjutant, Adjutant! This battleship is haunted! It's haunted!"

The Taotie soldier transporting supplies realized something was wrong and immediately started shouting. Bruis did not think much of it, but Cole's expression changed drastically.

Having noticed the anomaly, he quickly opened the computing center of his armor and began interfacing with the battleship's central system database. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Beginning full-scale infiltration. Five percent, twenty percent, fifty percent.
Hidden firewall detected. Beginning photon signal simulation.

Knowledge base retrieval complete. Thirty-seven valid photon signals found.
Beginning photon data bombardment. Thirty percent, seventy percent, one hundred percent. Simulation complete.

"It worked!" Yuan could not help clenching his fist in delight, then hurriedly reminded Qiming to remain discreet.

"Qiming, hide the access route. Once the infiltration is complete, repair the firewall immediately. Leave only one loophole."

Command received. Qiming is deleting access traces. Deletion complete.
Repairing firewall. Fifty percent, one hundred percent. Repair complete. Loophole retained.

Accessing hidden database. Beginning data comparison. Retrieval complete.

Ding! Alert. Qiming has detected photon signal communication from the central system database. Beginning target information detection. Connecting to the knowledge base and comparing photon signal frequencies.

Detection complete. Target confirmed: Supreme Commander—Cole.

"Heh, a commander was still a commander. He wasn't stupid at all. He reacted so quickly to such a slight change in supplies."

After checking the database information in the battleship's supply deck, Cole's tense expression eased.

Still, he was not entirely reassured and cautioned everyone.

"You continue sorting things here. I'll go up and check on Your Excellency."

"Yes, sir."

After saying that, Cole quickly rushed toward the command center. Knowing that Cole was suspicious, Yuan swiftly brought up the data.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

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

Then, full of anticipation, he opened the hidden database and carefully examined the information within.

Before his eyes appeared two entirely black spears. The projection rotated left and right with Yuan's hands, as though allowing him to admire them properly.

God-Slaying Spears, one-use God-Slaying Weapons. They were lost from Angel City ten thousand years ago, then later bestowed upon the Taotie Civilization by Dead Song Academy as a reward for the death they created.

God-Slaying Weapons carry a small amount of God-Slaying Power. Through God-Slaying Power, they can produce the Anti-Dark Singularity Effect. They are extremely threatening and exceed the defensive capabilities of Super Genes.

Supplement: Because one-use God-Slaying Weapons contain too little God-Slaying Power, they cannot deliver a fatal blow to gods. They can effectively impede a Divine Body's movements, after which a high-yield Fierce Tide or other weapons may be used for an effective strike.

"Heh, just as I thought. So this was what they had waiting for me. They were afraid the Taotie would not know how to use them, so they even included an instruction manual." An indescribable smile appeared on Yuan's face.

"Grandma, you were right. One must always be wary of others."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Yuan hurriedly began shutting down the system. All projections and data vanished.

"Qiming, confirm again. Erase all traces of the intrusion."

"Command received. All traces have been completely erased, Master."

"Enter hibernation."

"Command received. Qiming system entering hibernation."

Afterward, the hall returned to its deathly silence.

As for Yuan, he did as he had planned before, bringing up the central data system. Using his understanding of Dark Energy, he established an experimental model within the central database and began unlimited simulations.

When Cole rushed into the command center, he found it enveloped in blue spheres of light.

At the center of those spheres, Yuan continuously directed models resembling molecules and atoms as they simulated material data.

Seeing this, Cole let out a long breath of relief. However, to be safe, he still slowly entered Yuan's experimental area.

"Your Excellency, are you conducting some kind of experiment? The Stellar Furnace's Fusion Material is being consumed rapidly. The soldiers thought the place was haunted and carried all the supplies away."

"Huh? An Astral Civilization like yours still believes in ghosts?"

"Heh, you said it yourself. Who could explain all the gods and ghosts in this world? There are so many gods in the known universe. If some ghost god actually appeared, it would not be strange."

Blue light reflected in Cole's eyes. Seeing that he was still watching him, Yuan merely shrugged indifferently.

"Nothing much. Just some conjectures about Dark Energy materials. I'm comparing them with the Dark Iron material we obtained to see whether I can find some inspiration."

"After leaving the Styx Galaxy, if we want to enter the ranks of God-making civilizations, these materials will be indispensable. By the way, do you have any?"

After saying that, Yuan looked expectantly at Cole.

"No, no, no. How could we have something like that? Dark Iron and other Dark Energy materials are forbidden zones in the Styx Galaxy. Besides, we do not understand such things. Even if we found them, we would only treat them as useless junk and throw them away."

"Ah, what a pity!"

"Yes, what a pity!"

(Ah! This is too hard! o(╥﹏╥)o! Zero eggs ┭┮﹏┭┮)
