"Damn!"
Liang Bing's eyes widened.
Her mind felt a little foggy. In an instant, she realized that she and Yan had probably clashed once within their consciousness just now.
During that exchange, someone had tampered with her memories.
"That little brat!" A flash of anger crossed Liang Bing's face.
However, judging by the other woman's expression, she clearly had not fared much better either. Only then did Liang Bing feel somewhat relieved.
"Hmph..."
One was an angel, the other a demon. Even without memories of each other, Liang Bing and Yan still found each other irritating.
"Angel Yan... let's continue our discussion. First of all, I'm glad Blue Star has received the angels' support. But our communications link has not yet been established, so we can't contact headquarters. For now, I can only gather the remaining forces and head toward Juxia City. If we could use the angels' communication system, things would be much easier."
"Unfortunately, that's impossible."
Yan sighed. "Queen Keisha has fallen, and angel communications have also... suffered some damage."
"Also?"
"That's right. I need to return to Meru Heavenly Court. After the Queen's fall, they need me more. But you needn't worry. By then, more angels should be heading to North Star to support you."
"That works too..." Qiang Wei looked at Yan, gratitude appearing in her eyes. "I hope everything goes smoothly for you."
"Thank you. The same to you."
With that, Yan spread her wings and flew away.
At this moment, within the Nether River Star System.
"So that's how it is... What fascinating technology."
Carl stared intently at the Light Screen before her.
"So this is the Gabriel Armor... Such a powerful creation truly exists in the universe. I even lent part of the Big Clock's power to Liang Bing, yet Yan still managed to fight her to a draw."
Carl had indeed granted Liang Bing access to part of the Big Clock's computational power, but she had also kept something in reserve.
Using the authority she had granted Liang Bing, Carl had secretly monitored Liang Bing's wavelength as well.
The instant Liang Bing and Yan clashed within their consciousness, the Big Clock clearly captured the wavelength Yan emitted... No, to be precise, it captured the wavelength emitted by the Gabriel Armor.
Afterward, Carl began analyzing that wavelength without pause.
The conclusion left Carl utterly shocked!
"This data is truly interesting! If my guess is correct, this technology absolutely never existed in the Known Universe!"
"The Unknown Universe... Whether those Zerg, the Gabriel Armor, or even the Immortal Qin Empire, they truly are civilizations from the Unknown Universe!"
"No... I had already suspected as much. That alone is nothing worth being pleased about."
But.
The corners of Carl's lips still curled into a strange arc.
According to her calculations.
The Archangel Gabriel Armor did not belong to the Void!
That was what made things interesting.
Ji Lan of the God River Civilization founded the Super God Academy through her own efforts and created the Big Clock.
Later, the God River Civilization was destroyed, and the Angel Civilization became the most powerful civilization ruling the entire Known Universe.
At the same time, Carl had never stopped exploring the Void and researching the unknown.
It could be said that the technology of the Known Universe had reached an unprecedented peak!
Yet the God River Civilization had been destroyed by Ultimate Fear, while the Angel Civilization refused to acknowledge the Void.
Over the long years, only Carl had explored the Void and researched that so-called Ultimate Fear.
Carl firmly believed that only the Void was the next direction for technology. Only by thoroughly understanding the Void could a new era of transformation arrive.
And now.
The Immortal Qin Empire, along with the things displayed by this sudden Ranking List, proved that another path existed.
How could that not unsettle her?
"Immortal Qin Empire Civilization, for people who have mastered the Void, just how powerful are you? And how did you survive Ultimate Fear?"
"No... When all is said and done, have you truly mastered the Void? Or are you, too, among those who merely peer into it?"
"I am Death God Karl, with endless knowledge and an endless thirst for learning. Immortal Qin Empire, Immortal Qin Emperor... Heh, I truly wish to speak with you."
Carl muttered to herself, a flash of ambition passing through her eyes.
"My God, a message has arrived from the flagship. He has come."
Sino bowed respectfully.
"Hmm?"
Carl turned her head slightly. "Pan Zhen has truly gone to the Solar System?"
Sino hurriedly replied, "My God Karl, you once instructed me to report to you the moment Pan Zhen went to the Solar System. I confirmed it again. This information should be accurate."
"I understand." Carl took a deep breath. "It seems the Liesun Civilization has also begun to bare its fangs at Blue Star..."
"And how is Shi Hao's recovery progressing?"
"My God Karl, following your orders, we went to the Barren Star System once more and indeed found a fragment of recorded memory footage. It has already been brought back as you instructed."
"Record the data. Install the new generation Void Engine."
"Install... it?" Sino looked confused.
"Let Shi Hao receive her new body."
"A body with consciousness, one comparable to a divine body, that never grows tired, and that can gain knowledge and experience without learning or inheritance."
"Don't you think such a body is the most perfect vessel for an intelligent lifeform?"
Sino's eyes widened. "You mean those experimental Cybernetic Mechanical Bodies..."
"Correct."
Carl spread her arms as though embracing the entire universe.
Her eyes widened, as if she could see the Immortal Qin Empire Civilization across countless light-years.
"Now, the Age of Divine Authority has officially come to a complete end."
"Next will be the era in which Sub-Creatures rule the entire universe."
Immortal Qin Starfield, Cosmic Corridor.
"Your Excellency, were these Zerg truly a disaster that once appeared in this starfield?"
Holy Keisha stared blankly at the Light Screen.
"It was merely one battle from the past."
Ye Chen said this calmly. "The Immortal Qin Empire has experienced battles like this countless times over the past several hundred years."
Countless times?
Keisha's breathing stopped for an instant.
Even one such event would have been a disaster powerful enough to destroy the universe!
Yet according to Immortal Qin Emperor Ye Chen, the Immortal Qin Empire had experienced countless wars like this?
She found it difficult to imagine what kind of existence could stand on equal footing with the Zerg Scourge.
"The grandeur of the universe is far beyond what you imagine."
Ye Chen looked directly at Keisha and extended his right hand, grasping at her from afar.
Keisha felt an endlessly pure and immense divine might completely envelop her.
When Holy Keisha came back to her senses, she discovered that a suit of armor covered her entire body, even her cheeks.
"This... this is?"
"A complete set of Archangel Gabriel Armor."
"Huh!?"
