Just as the two were surprised, six Beyond Grade A came forward and formed an encirclement.
The one who seemed to be the leader spoke loudly, but Han Xiao and Kasuyi couldn't understand what he was saying. He was speaking an unfamiliar language that wasn't in the database of the universal translator.
Kasuyi narrowed his eyes, used his telekinesis to communicate, and casually pulled Han Xiao into the chat channel as well.
Upon seeing this, the leader on the other side paused for a moment, seemingly puzzled, before receiving the mental communication. As soon as the connection was established, he immediately questioned:
"Who are you? Where are you from? Don't you understand Common Language?"
"Where is this?" Kasuyi asked back.
"The capital of the Dituo Province, a colony under the jurisdiction of the Koristi Civilization. I am Fariti, the captain of the Dituo Guardians. Please explain your origins and identities immediately, and why you have appeared out of nowhere above the city! Answer my questions!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao and Kasuyi exchanged a glance, both sensing each other's confusion through their mental link.
The Koristi Civilization? Never heard of it. Looking at the history of exploration so far, there seems to be no record of it. Could it be a civilization that originated and proliferated in Secondary Dimension and has never appeared in the main universe? Although I don't know what level of technology they have, with six Beyond Grade A beings stationed there, they could hold their own in the main universe.
Seeing that the two did not respond, Fariti raised his voice and shouted:
"This is a period of martial law throughout the universe. You have violated the ban of the Federation of All Stars by visiting the colonies of other civilizations without permission and displaying your power at will. According to relevant regulations, you must immediately disarm and surrender, seal your source Source Force, and accept our investigation. Otherwise, we will take coercive measures!"
They could understand each word individually, but when put together, they were completely bewildered.
Martial law across the universe? The Federation of All Stars? Source Force? What are all these things?!
Although they didn't understand the meaning of these names, they understood what the other side meant: they were being asked to give up resistance. In this unfamiliar environment, the two naturally couldn't abandon their self-defense and surrender.
Kasuyi wanted to gather more information, but Fariti, seeing that the two remained unmoved, darkened his expression, stopped talking, and took action directly.
Boom!
Suddenly, his aura exploded, and with a flash of rainbow light, Fariti charged in front of Kasuyi as if he had teleported, throwing a punch that shook the air with a thunderous sound.
"You dare to lay a hand on me?"
Kasuyi frowned, but he was faster. He reached out and placed his hand on the side of Fariti's fist. With a flow of mental energy and a slight tilt of his body, he easily deflected the powerful martial arts aura emanating from Fariti, which then disappeared into the sky as a beam of light.
Then, with a slight change in his movements, he delivered a light, forward elbow strike to Fariti's chest. The highly concentrated psychic energy, like a needle prick, was poured into his opponent's body through the point of impact, without wasting a single drop.
BOOM!!
With an immense force erupting, Fariti lost control of his body and was sent flying backward at several times the speed, crashing through tall buildings and leaving gaping holes before disappearing into the distance.
Han Xiao couldn't help but glance at him sideways, "Oh, you can fight martial artists hand-to-hand too?"
"Don't underestimate me. I've fought my way up in the Void Dimension, so close combat is one of my strengths."
Kasuyi shook his arm, his tone nonchalant.
Although he was used to squandering the Infinite mana provided by the Void Dimension, before establishing the dimensional link, his fighting style was always very meticulous, aiming to inflict maximum damage without wasting energy. As a Void creature who had been living in the Void Dimension since childhood, melee combat was not his weakness.
Moreover, he is at least a Peak Beyond Grade A, and his basic attributes alone are enough to contend with an ordinary Beyond Grade A martial artist, not to mention that he also possesses psychic power with both physical and mental attributes.
The other five Beyond Grade A seemed startled, letting out the same exclamation. Han Xiao didn't know what they were talking about. The next moment, the five of them rushed forward and launched a siege.
Meanwhile, the various weapons extending from the city also opened fire with a deafening roar, like fireworks lighting up the ground. Countless energy rays shot into the sky, and countless chains of light were flung towards the two of them.
"Oh dear, these people are so aggressive, fighting right above the city. Aren't they afraid we'll blow up their planet?"
Han Xiao made a sarcastic remark, then waved his hand, unleashing a burst of Mechanical Force. The surrounding mechanical forces quickly retaliated, simultaneously fending off attacks from ground weapons and engaging five Beyond Grade A warriors in a fierce firefight.
Han Xiao brought in the mechanical troops that had been fighting the swarm of Void Louse outside the Secondary Dimension. Although the Secondary Dimension Army Box and Dimensional Factory were currently closed and no more troops could be summoned, Master Han was not worried at all.
The mechanic makes all his own weapons. He can't use the stockpile, so he just uses whatever he needs. What's there to panic about?
Strong hands-on skills give me confidence!
The six opponents consisted of two martial artists, one magician, and three telekinetics, all of whom were ordinary Beyond Grade A beings with an energy level below 52,000 Ona. As soon as the two sides clashed, the five Beyond Grade A beings immediately fell into a disadvantageous position, struggling to resist. Even though Fariti rushed back to the battlefield, he could not reverse the predicament, and even when they joined forces, they could only hold on with difficulty.
With the attribute bonus from level 340 advancement, plus the explosive output from [Legendary Combat Technique] and [Fearless Heart], ordinary Beyond Grade A beings would be courting death by simply trying to withstand it. Moreover, there was another Peak Beyond Grade A, Kasuyi, nearby. Against these normal beings, his psychic power could finally unleash its full destructive power. With the two of them working together, beating up six ordinary Beyond Grade A was simply a piece of cake.
However, there were at least six of them. Although they were no match for Han Xiao and Kasuyi, they could hold out for a while. Besides, the two of them didn't know what the situation was like here and didn't plan to kill anyone for the time being.
While using mental needles to puncture and cause his opponent's brain to hemorrhage, Kasuyi communicated with Han Xiao through the mental channel.
"Black Star, we're not at our strongest right now. There's another Peak Beyond Grade A outside the Secondary Dimension space. If he joins the battle, things will get bad. We don't need to linger. Let's leave this place first, gather some intelligence, and then make a more careful plan."
"That's what I was thinking too. I'll get rid of them."
Han Xiao nodded. He cared a lot about the information these people revealed, and at the moment he just wanted to figure out the current situation.
With a thought, he used Mechanical Force to pull all the mechanical soldiers together.
Kerala--
The all-powerful Mechanical Deity descended once more, reaching out to grab Kasuyi and sucking him into the machine's interior. Immediately afterward, the thrusters fired in unison, propelling the massive machine into the air and rapidly approaching outer space.
Fariti shouted, seemingly telling the two not to run, and led five Beyond Grade A warriors to charge after them. Martial arts aura, psychic impacts, and magical fluctuations bombarded the Mechanical Deity, but all of them were blocked by the honeycomb structure of the Great Emperor's Robe's Psionic Energy shield.
"Still chasing them? These people have no self-awareness; they need a good beating."
Han Xiao glanced down, then reluctantly raised the Star Slaying Blade. The surging Psionic Energy condensed on the Blades along the path of Getter Wave Fist, and then he slashed down, drawing out a solid blade of light.
Scold!!
A dark blue blade of light tore through the sky, and the sound of tearing silk seemed to echo through the space.
The power of this strike caused Fariti to change their expressions drastically, and they hurriedly used their strongest defensive techniques to clash with the blade's edge.
Rumble!!
The Berserk energy shockwave shot out and spread, dispersing the surrounding atmosphere and turning it into a cloudless area.
"Ah--"
The screams quickly faded into the distance. Fariti were cleaved in two by a single blow, crashing into the ground with a deafening roar. Large swathes of high-rise buildings shattered and collapsed, appearing from outer space as if six mushroom clouds of dust had sprung up from the earth's surface.
"You didn't kill them, did you?" Kasuyi asked worriedly.
"I haven't even used my full strength yet, how could such an attack possibly kill someone?" Han Xiao said dismissively.
Kasuyi rolled his eyes.
He finally understood: Black Star had clearly made progress again, but was deliberately hiding it here. Did he think he was blind?!
The Mechanical Deity twisted and flew, traversing the starry sky, rapidly moving away from this planet.
At this moment, Fariti six companions crawled out of the ruins, all of them wounded. Watching the group of Mechanical Deity disappear from sight, they couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
That last stab had given them an extremely terrifying sense of threat to their lives; they almost thought they were about to die.
The group looked around and saw that the interstellar city they were protecting was in complete disarray, and anger welled up on each of their faces.
"What do we do now?" someone asked.
"Those two are ' Supreme Grade ' level powerhouses, beyond our capabilities," Fariti angrily. "Their appearance is too strange. I suspect they might interfere with the World Restart Plan. Immediately report this to the Federation of All Stars Superpower Security Department and request that they send out a pursuit team and issue a cosmic arrest warrant!"
Secondary Dimension All Kinds of Oddities, each with its own rules of operation. This particular Secondary Dimension is remarkably similar to the main universe, filled with countless stars that seem boundless. Even in Secondary Dimension World, this is an extremely rare occurrence.
Although this dimension is a cosmic environment, the main universe star map is not applicable here. After Han Xiao controlled the Mechanical Deity to leave the planet, he used the mechanical soldiers' parts and materials to build an astronomical observation instrument and drew a star map of the surrounding area on the spot. He found an asteroid belt and then changed course to temporarily dock there.
Soon, the asteroid belt came into view. Han Xiao had the Mechanical Deity disintegrate and revert to a mechanical army to Tu Shu the area. Then, he and Kasuyi boarded one of the asteroids to discuss their next strategy.
"... This Secondary Dimension is ridiculously large, and I don't know where it ends. I can't find the spatial walls of this dimension. What about you?" Kasuyi frowned.
"Me too, this is just like a normal universe." Han Xiao shrugged.
Kasuyi paced back and forth in thought, pondering, "Could it be that this Secondary Dimension is actually a giant wormhole, transporting us to an Unexplored Universe controlled by the Three Universal Civilizations, and the civilization we just encountered was from another corner of the universe?"
"I don't think so," Han Xiao shook his head. "The connection to the Void Dimension is broken, and my Dimensional Factory can't be opened either. This characteristic doesn't seem like returning to the main universe."
"That makes sense..." Kasuyi suddenly remembered something, "Your Dimensional Factory can't be opened? Then you can't produce the Sovereign Mecha, and we're trapped in here, aren't we?"
"No need to worry about that." Han Xiao adjusted the compression ball necklace around his neck, then showed off his bracelet, and smiled, "I'm used to carrying spare Sovereign Mecha with me. I have several here, all of which can teleport me to the outside world."
Devices like spacetime stabilizing anchors are effective against Secondary Dimension Army Box, so he naturally wouldn't be unprepared. Some of the more critical devices are made into compressed spheres and carried on his person as backup.
"Then I'm relieved." Kasuyi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to leave right now, but he was worried about having no way out. Seeing that Han Xiao was so reliable, he felt much more at ease.
"By the way, this Secondary Dimension seems to be completely isolated from the outside world. I can no longer contact my main AI through the Quantum Network Vision," Han Xiao said.
Phillip's mainframe was at the base camp, but the connection was lost after entering this Secondary Dimension. Han Xiao was unable to connect to the Explored Universe and could only switch to a portable Phillip backup sub-body to use as a local area network. At the same time, he was temporarily unable to lock onto the Dominion's clone in the outside world and could not use the Dominator's Descent to return his consciousness to the outside world.
He has now activated his Quantum Network Vision, which allows him to connect only to the quantum network within this Secondary Dimension. He had tried it during the battle and discovered that the basic compilation language of the quantum network in this dimension is different from that of the main universe. Just like the case with the Virtual Mutiny Virus, the basic code must be deciphered before one can use its various virtual means normally.
"By the way, how is your perception of the opportunity for Divine Transformation?" Han Xiao asked curiously.
"It's still there, but it's become blurry. The sensing target is the entire space; there's no precise direction anymore," Kasuyi said helplessly.
"This is not good. Without your guidance, this Secondary Dimension is so vast, where are we supposed to find anything?"
Han Xiao shook his head.
If the connection were still there, things would be much easier. We could follow the guidance to get the opportunity, and then the two of us could simply use the Sovereign's Power to escape. But now that we've lost our direction, things are much more complicated.
"We'll just have to search slowly." Kasuyi looked at Han Xiao hopefully. "You probably don't have anything else to do, right?"
"I don't have anything else to do, so I can help you look for a while, but if we don't find it after too long, I'll have to leave."
Han Xiao shrugged.
The player doesn't need to worry about his professional league; he has plenty of time. He's not only doing Kasuyi's quests, but also planning to learn some advanced techniques here. The Kunde Race's Spacetime Shearing Technology was incredibly valuable back then, and this Secondary Dimension civilization might have some kind of cutting-edge technology.
'By the way, speaking of players...'
Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He opened the forum and took a look, finding that the functions were working normally and players could still be seen posting here.
With all external communications currently down, forums have become the only reliable channel for receiving information from the outside world.
Kasuyi paced back and forth, pondering, and asked, "Black Star, what are your plans next?"
Han Xiao glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said:
"We don't yet know what this Secondary Dimension is like. I suggest treating it as another universe. We are outsiders, and our primary task is to gather intelligence."
Okay, give me some time to decipher the compiled language of this quantum network in space, and then hack into the network to collect information... Hmm, before that, we need a temporary star map, which I can draw later; the astronomical observatory can solve this problem.
Furthermore, the danger level of this space is unknown. I need to expand our current mechanical forces, find some resource planets to establish temporary bases, manufacture engineering equipment to collect various materials, and create a new mass production line for infantry...
Han Xiao gave a detailed and well-organized explanation of the plan.
Now that the Dimensional Factory is frozen, he plans to open a branch base in this Secondary Dimension, replicate a military factory, and simultaneously solve problems related to combat, logistics, detection, and concealment, essentially taking over all the work.
After listening for a while, Kasuyi finally asked, "Then what do I need to do?"
"You..." Han Xiao stroked his chin, looking Kasuyi up and down. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said firmly, "Just don't cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Kasuyi couldn't help but give a wry smile.
No wonder that among the five superpowered professions, advanced civilizations are most wary of the Mechanic Class; this is a mobile interstellar warfare system!
He couldn't help but feel grateful that he had brought a mechanic with him on this team. If he had brought a martial artist who only knew how to beat people up, they would be stuck here staring at each other now.
Pugilist Class are really lame!
Inside the mechanical room with its metal structure, a man covered in tubes slowly opened his eyes. He had two pairs of green eyes, one large and one small, symmetrically positioned on his left and right sides. A vertical scar ran across his left cheek, tearing open both eyeballs, leaving him blind on one side.
His breathing was sluggish, like an old bellows. After a while, a low murmur echoed in the room, indistinct and unclear.
"Finally, outsiders have arrived again... Hopefully, this time they'll be of some use..."
