anwhile.
Su Ziyu, who had already flown out of the equator’s range and reached the airspace above an ocean, suddenly received an alert from the Space-Ti Inspector.
"Receiving unknown space-ti signal!..."
"Signal from the Space-Ti Guardian! ... Converting!..."
Su Ziyu stood up with a sowhat excited expression, connecting his mind to this space-ti signal, and soon a piece of conscious information was transmitted: "Hang in there."
"Reinforcents are arriving soon."
Have I really connected?
At this mont, Su Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief because he had always been fighting alone, but now it was a bit different since he had finally found an organization. The enemies faced by the Space-Ti Inspector were all very strong and terrifying; it shouldn’t just be him. The inspector’s duties are more akin to patrolling various Crystal Wall Elents, looking for sources of pollution, and there should be others responsible for assisting in eliminating the source of pollution.
Hmm.
Just as Su Ziyu was invigorated by receiving the signal from reinforcents, a low whisper erged from the virtual pod, and soon the door was opened, the mind alert sounded, followed by Empress Isabella rushing out, solemnly asking him, "Where did you find this virtual pod?"
The opponent did not launch an attack, so Su Ziyu rely backed half a step cautiously, replying in a deep voice, "The rebel army bought it from a Star Realm rchant."
"Does it have any issues?"
Empress Isabella’s complexion was rather grave as her gaze lowered to the Scepter of the Mind in Su Ziyu’s hand; her brows furrowed, revealing a hint of restraint and patience in her expression, and she slowly said, "Inside a ga, its protagonist is nad Edward."
"My ancestor."
"That monster turned disaster, he’s also nad Edward."
At this point, Empress Isabella paused, her voice slightly trembling as she said in a deep tone, "I’ve been killed three tis by a clown inside."
"The clown’s mask, I’ve seen an identical one in my ancestor’s storage room."
What?
Empress Isabella’s words made Su Ziyu’s expression change; he recalled slightly, incredulously asking, "Are you saying the ga’s protagonist? Is your ancestor? Edward I?"
"Yes." Empress Isabella softly nodded, adjusting her clothing slightly to cover a white spot on her chest, her expression filled with a hint of anger as she asked, "Did you undress ?"
Only after awakening did she notice that the clothes were strange.
"Let’s say I took my spoils of war." Su Ziyu’s expression was calm as he looked at Empress Isabella, saying, "Including you as a trophy."
—"Static Field."
Tiny arcs of electricity danced weakly on Su Ziyu’s body.
After resting in the virtual pod, the spiritual fluctuations on Empress Isabella temporarily recovered; people of the Empire all have a ntal threshold, which determines their activity ti in the external world. It seed Empress Isabella had recovered part of her spirit, allowing her to resist the external mind whispers temporarily.
"Level 10 Spiritualist!?" Empress Isabella retreated half a step with a solemn expression, frowning and saying, "Is it you?"
"Are you with the rebel army?"
Su Ziyu shook his head, saying, "Not exactly. I’m strictly speaking just a traveler passing by."
"But I’ve caused a bit of trouble here."
Currently, Empress Isabella was not his opponent because Su Ziyu had dismantled her Spiritual Amplification Device, and without the Interstellar Warrior Armor and the Nanomaterial Combat Suit, her physical condition was nothing more than a normal Demon Hunter, nowhere near his level.
Of course, if it really ca to a fight, damage would be inevitable, and this pod would likely not survive.
Empress Isabella’s face showed increasing anger, her spiritual fluctuations becoming faintly visible. However, while suppressing her anger with a deep breath and unintentionally undoing a button, her expression gradually cald significantly; she buttoned it back up expressionlessly, watching Su Ziyu, suddenly asking, "Did you suppress my ntal backlash?"
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded.
Empress Isabella’s expression revealed a hint of deliberately concealed joy, further questioning, "How did you manage to do it?"
"Secret." Su Ziyu shook his head, saying, "Moreover, I’m rely temporarily suppressing your mind pollution. You have the mark of Spiritual Ascension on you, which cannot be removed by conventional ans."
Empress Isabella sharply asked, "What about unconventional ans?"
"Still a secret." Su Ziyu shrugged.
He thought for a mont and said, "I suggest you don’t act rashly. If you do, the mind waves will break the seal I placed, and you’ll be tornted by those eerie whispers again."
"Another ti, and I might not be able to save you; you’ll probably turn into a mad lost one."
"Isn’t it better to just be a quiet captive?"
"I just want you to help find sothing; I won’t harm you."
Empress Isabella looked Su Ziyu up and down, seemingly probing for his true identity, and after a mont, she said with an arrogant posture, "What do you want?"
"I am the Empress of the Empire."
"As long as you are willing to pledge allegiance to !"
"No matter what you want, whether money, status, beauty, or sothing else, I can give you."
Did she really want to bow and submit?
Your presence isn’t enough yet!
Su Ziyu almost laughed at the woman before him; he gently raised a hand, causing Empress Isabella to groan softly, her expression slightly pained from hearing those eerie void whispers again. Su Ziyu calmly said, "I am not interested in any of those things you ntioned."
"I just want to find an interstellar spaceship."
"Once it’s in hand."
"I’ll let you go."
Since the target was not a source of pollution, Su Ziyu did not plan to make it too difficult for her.
However, the interstellar spaceship was definitely a must-have. He had finally arrived at a high Civilization Level plane, and needed to prepare adequately, as it would also provide a ans to retreat should anything go wrong.
Interstellar spaceship?
Upon hearing Su Ziyu’s words, Empress Isabella’s expression changed slightly, continuing with a mocking smile, "Interstellar spaceship?"
"All ships capable of interstellar navigation are within the Imperial Capital."
"Without the Imperial Family’s genetic imprint, no one can start them."
"Even if I dare to give you one, would you dare to take it from there?"
"Moreover, a single person can’t control an interstellar spaceship."
Su Ziyu observed her expression, using mind-reading to determine the truth of her statents. Mind-reading senses the outer layer of thoughts, but human thoughts are actually very diffusive, aning mind-reading can’t fully penetrate a person’s mind, especially with spiritualists.
"Of course I dare." Su Ziyu nodded, saying, "As for whether I can take off, that’s my concern."
The opponent isn’t lying.
The Empire holds extrely unique genetic coding technologies; so Empire Knight’s light blades are genetically locked, so interstellar spaceships likely have similar genetic coding.
"Then it’s a deal." Empress Isabella’s eyes again fell on the Scepter of the Mind in Su Ziyu’s hand; she gazed at the scepter deeply, slowly saying, "What price must I pay to redeem this scepter?"
She still wants to reclaim the Scepter of the Mind?
Empress Isabella didn’t seem to care about the Interstellar Warrior Armor stripped by Su Ziyu, but she cared very much about the Scepter of the Mind, having continuously focused her gaze on it multiple tis.
"This one?" Su Ziyu hesitated briefly before saying slowly, "I intend to keep this trophy."
"Of course."
"If you offer sothing of equal value, I’m open to considering it."
Empress Isabella’s anger grew more pronounced, but reminding herself internally that she was a captive allowed her expression to calm quite a bit. The Empire still practiced slavery, with so feudal customs retained, and she calmly said, "Very well."
"I will definitely pay a ransom that satisfies you."
As the Empress of the Empire, even after being captured, she still maintained her pride.
But she seed to forget one point.
That before she decided to execute this operation, she had already designated an heir to the throne.
A coup had quietly begun.
