Secondary Dimension space is a bizarre and fantastical world composed of various planes. The physical rules of many Secondary Dimension are vastly different from those of the main universe, and most are unsuitable for life in the main universe. Some are naturally formed, while others are the result of the collapse and imagination of high-level mages.
The main universe is like the branches and roots of a tree, and these Secondary Dimension are like the leaves and fruits, connected to each other through nourishment (energy).
Researchers in the universe have created a worldview model for Secondary Dimension spaces, which resembles a world formed by countless stacked bubbles, with each bubble representing a Secondary Dimension. The spatial walls are much thinner than those of the main universe, allowing for frequent jumps and traversals.
Advanced civilizations have always been keen to explore Secondary Dimension, which not only allow them to obtain special resources, but also enable them to develop various new technologies by studying the phenomena of different Secondary Dimension. The Three Universal Civilizations have achieved fruitful results in this area, and their unparalleled technological power in the universe largely stems from this.
Therefore, the Three Universal Civilizations set up numerous outposts, research stations, and resource collection stations in the Secondary Dimension, and stationed legions there to protect scholars and workers, and most of the time they were dealing with attacks from Secondary Dimension creatures.
Outpost A000 is the Empire's largest Secondary Dimension military camp, located in a habitable Secondary Dimension. The Empire has completed its exploration of the area, fully controlling and transforming this Secondary Dimension, stockpiling a large number of troops there, using it as the Empire's main base for its Secondary Dimension military and as a gateway for the Empire to enter the Secondary Dimension World.
As soon as Clottey stepped into this place, a magnificent sight came into view.
This Secondary Dimension separated heaven and earth, with reddish-brown land stretching to the horizon without any bends. A continuous cluster of imperial bases sat here, like a forest forged of steel, also seemingly without end.
There were no stars in the sky, only gradually changing colors, like the blood-red glow of the setting sun. Magnificent solitary rays of light, like wind and clouds, flowed through the sky, scattering a misty, luminous scene that formed different shapes. Meanwhile, in the distant horizon, it seemed as if some invisible light source was hanging, creating the Tyndall effect and radiating hazy, dreamlike paths of light.
Clottey was familiar with this dreamlike scene, but hadn't seen it in many years, and couldn't help but stop to admire it.
Just then, a thunderous, hearty laugh suddenly echoed through the surrounding space:
"Haha, Clottey, you're finally on vacation?"
Before the words were finished, a bolt of blue-green lightning shot out from the ground base complex and stopped in front of Clottey in the blink of an eye, revealing a burly figure wearing the uniform of a high-ranking Imperial officer.
Upon seeing this person, even Clottey, who was usually stern and unsmiling, couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"Guzar, it's been a long time."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to come see me as soon as you took a vacation. You're a true brother!" the burly figure laughed.
This person is a hybrid of the Imperial human race and the Silver Spirit People, but his appearance doesn't show much of the Silver Spirit People's elegance. He has a rough and masculine appearance, with a wild beard and braid, and a striking presence. If Han Xiao were here, he would definitely mistake him for Zhang Fei.
"Thunder" Guzar, a direct descendant of the Empire Beyond Grade A, is a superhuman whose ability is to manipulate plasma currents. He has served Guardian of the Secondary Dimension legion for many years.
The two had similar qualifications; Clottey and Guzar enlisted less than five years apart and had known each other since they were young, maintaining a close relationship.
Clottey shook her head. "I'm not here on vacation; I have a mission."
"No wonder you're not serving as the Führer's personal guard for the time being." Guzar nodded, then asked curiously, "Is this a secret order from the Führer? What does she want you to do?"
"The first target in the hunt for Beyond Grade A is a guy hiding in Secondary Dimension called the Traveler. He's suspected of being involved in the war that Shattered World not long ago, you know about that, right?"
"Haha, of course I know. There's not much entertainment here. I read every issue of the Imperial News. I heard that Black Star fought off twelve Beyond Grade A, including Kasuyi and Seraon. That's really impressive. I'd love to spar with such a strong person, but unfortunately I haven't seen him in person yet."
Guzar's tone was tinged with regret; he was stationed in the Secondary Dimension and could not leave his post.
"There will be other opportunities," Clottey comforted her.
Guzar didn't dwell on it and laughed, "Black Star is a great lad. Once you retire, he'll probably be the one to take your place and intimidate the Stars."
"It's a pity he's not a direct descendant of the Empire." Clottey remained noncommittal, changing the subject, and said, "The Secondary Dimension is your territory; I need your help to track down the Traveler."
"No problem." A sharp glint flashed in Guzar's eyes. "In recent years, the number of rats hiding in the Secondary Dimension has been increasing. It's time to teach them a lesson."
In a Secondary Dimension, Traveler enveloped in magical light flew like shooting stars.
Suddenly, he stopped, a look of hesitation on his face.
"Strange, why do I suddenly feel so uneasy..."
Magicians don't ignore intuition, so the Traveler stopped, took out a crystal ball, and cast a divination spell.
Holding the crystal ball in his hands, tiny specks of light emanated from his palms and merged into the crystal ball. Soon, ripples appeared on the crystal ball, displaying images as beautiful as reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water.
Clottey's face appeared quickly, then vanished just as quickly.
"The Dark Emperor? How could he have had a relationship with me?"
The Traveler's expression changed slightly.
His actions during the Hila Rescue Battle were merely a pretense of a friendly exchange to exert indirect pressure; he did not directly participate in the siege.
In his view, even if the Black Star Army suspected him, he could simply hide in Secondary Dimension for refuge, and they wouldn't waste their energy on a major conflict. However, he never expected the Empire to unleash its ultimate weapon, the Dark Emperor. It felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut... In front of the Dark Emperor, he had to admit that he was just a chicken.
"If I were to encounter the Dark Emperor, I would be no match for him."
The Traveler's mood was heavy. Even with his mastery of Fel Energy Aggregation, he didn't believe he could defeat the Dark Emperor. The Golden Ring Emperor Peak Beyond Grade A being who controlled dark energy and dark matter. Even Oulu, who once controlled Secondary Dimension, had narrowly lost to the Dark Emperor. He didn't think he was stronger Oulu.
After a moment's thought, the Traveler's eyes flashed.
"I've demonstrated Fel Energy Aggregation, and the Empire will definitely use this as a clue to track me down. If I don't show up, they'll definitely do something about the Fel Energy Aggregation... It seems I have no choice but to find some helpers and ambush the Dark Emperor."
He didn't waste his years in the Secondary Dimension; he not only maintained good relationships with powerful beings in the Secondary Dimension, but also knew many Beyond Grade A Secondary Dimension residing there...
Some of these individuals aren't even on the list of Beyond Grade A individuals recorded in the main universe!
Meanwhile, in a hidden Secondary Dimension, a portal suddenly appeared, and several small warships flew out. Their outer armor had no faction markings, and they were top-of-the-line high-warp spaceships equipped with a full set of components for Secondary Dimension travel, so they looked somewhat bulky and heavy.
Inside the main ship's command center, numerous operators were diligently working at their respective positions, each dressed in full suits of armor, obscuring their appearance.
In front of the porthole stood two figures, hooded and robed, their faces obscured by special equipment. Only their body types were visible: a man and a woman, the man short and stocky, the woman tall and slender.
These two men were the commanders of this mission, belonging to the same organization, and were on a special mission.
"Your Excellency Luo, Your Excellency Fei, we have arrived at our destination. Please provide instructions for the next steps," an operator who appeared to be in charge reported to the two.
The two were called "Luo" and "Fei," which were not their real names, but code names used within the organization.
The short, stocky man was Luo. He nodded and slowly said, "Proceed according to plan. Divination indicates that Black Star will soon enter the Secondary Dimension with Chaos Mysterious Energy. Activate the life-form Cross-Plane Detection Radar in all secret Secondary Dimension outposts, maximize the detection range, and set the target's life strength to Peak Beyond Grade A."
Fei's cool voice rang out at the opportune moment. "The Secondary Dimension are our home turf. Our mission is to seize the Chaos Mysterious Energy. Black Star is very powerful, and we need to avoid Head-On Conflict. Our leader has entrusted us with many technological products, enough to temporarily trap Black Star."
After saying that, she paused, then added:
"If conventional detection methods fail to locate it, the leader allows us to use the Child of Destiny One ability once."
In the Black Star Palace, in the combat training room, Han Xiao called Ames into the room.
"Busy man, you finally have time?" Ames raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing.
"I'm tied up with official duties, there's no other way." Han Xiao chuckled, took out a compressed sphere and tossed it to Ames, saying, "This is a specially made mecha suitable for survival in Secondary Dimension. I personally crafted it. Try it on."
Zi--
With a surge of Mechanical Force, the compressed sphere unfolded into a jet-black mecha suit, which clung to Ames's body, its design lightweight and form-fitting.
She moved around a bit, her movements were smooth and without any discomfort, and clicked her tongue, saying, "It fits perfectly. It seems you know my figure very well; you have a keen eye."
That's because I touched it... Han Xiao coughed.
Besides, it clearly has Nano Transformation capabilities, perfectly fitting any body shape, so what's the big deal...?
While mentally complaining, he didn't slow down and Mysterious Energy Envoy.
"Black Star, are you ready to set off?" Seeing this formation, Chaos Mysterious Energy became excited and couldn't wait to meet up with his old buddy.
Han Xiao nodded and explained to Ames, "The Chaos Mysterious Energy has the ability to travel through Secondary Dimension. With him leading the way, we can save a lot of energy."
Of the five major professional systems, only mages and mechanics can reliably enter and exit the Secondary Dimension World, using different technical systems to step into the sub-plane.
While superhuman abilities are a random factor, the dimensional travel capabilities inherent in Chaos Mysterious Energy are much more convenient, and it is also needed to find Holy Light Particle.
This wasn't Ames's first time venturing into Secondary Dimension. The normal process was quite complicated, but with the help of Chaos Mysterious Energy and Black Star, things were much simpler. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, where will we go first?"
"The Empire has many outposts in the Secondary Dimension, but I don't want to disturb them. Since you also have Void Blood, let's go in from the Void Dimension."
Han Xiao reached out and grabbed the Mysterious Energy Envoy's arm, signaling Ames to do as he was told.
"Okay." Ames had no objection, but instead of grabbing the Mysterious Energy Envoy, she put her hand on Han Xiao's shoulder.
Normal people need to make thorough preparations to go to Secondary Dimension, but these two are Beyond Grade A, so they basically don't need to prepare anything. After all, travel is all about the feeling of just packing up and going.
The next moment, the Chaos Mysterious Energy activated, and red energy surged out, enveloping the two of them along their arms.
Brush!
A flash of light, and the three vanished without a trace.
With a slight blur in their vision, the scene before them had completely changed. They were no longer in the Black Star Palace, but had arrived in a familiar Void Dimension.
"That was fast," Ames exclaimed in surprise.
"This is its innate ability. For it, returning to the Secondary Dimension is like going home, as easy and natural as a fish in water," Han Xiao smiled.
The Mysterious Energy Envoy him a formidable combatant, and he also possesses a variety of convenient special effects, making him a truly useful support character.
Ames took a deep breath of void energy, feeling the elation in her cells, which lifted her spirits considerably. She chuckled and asked, "Do you have any travel plans?"
"Let's take care of business first, then we'll have plenty of time to wander around."
After Han Xiao finished speaking, he turned and tapped the Mysterious Energy Envoy, asking:
Do you know what the Secondary Dimension where the Holy Light Particle reside is called?
"I don't know what you outsiders call it, but I recognize its energy fluctuations and can track them," Chaos Mysterious Energy explained.
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao nodded. Based on the description of the Chaos Mysterious Energy, he had previously checked the Empire's records of exploration of Secondary Dimension, but had not found any similar Secondary Dimension, which meant that the location of the Holy Light Particle should not have been discovered yet.
Come to think of it, if their home base is destroyed by an advanced civilization, the Holy Light Particle won't be able to comfortably live as recluses anymore. So for now, they can only rely on Chaos Mysterious Energy to guide them.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait to teach it a lesson."
The Chaos Mysterious Energy was eager to try, and instead urged it on its own. It could not control the carrier itself and needed Han Xiao's approval.
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but laugh; he probably felt like the Holy Light Particle were about to tear his old buddy apart.
--So it was you who led the enemy here?
Han Xiao shook his head with a smile, about to speak, when suddenly his expression changed slightly.
Rumble--
Just then, a sudden change occurred, and the surrounding void energy suddenly surged violently.
Ames sensed it too, suddenly narrowing her eyes, gazing into the distance, her tone slightly somber:
"Something seems to be coming!"
