Inside the military base.
Su Ziyu and his group returned to the base's control center. After regaining their resolve, Empress Isabella's thoughts beca much clearer. Leading the way, she said, "There is a Thunderbird-class spaceship within the base, which was refurbished from vessels of the Ancient Lost Empire, possessing complete invisibility capabilities."
"It can help us evade the detection systems of the chanical Church."
"However, this spaceship is not equipped with a warp engine and currently lacks interstellar travel capabilities. Using it to fly out of this star system may take over a month."
Su Ziyu smiled calmly without saying anything, sensing a hint of unease in Empress Isabella's heart.
Though she was once the exalted empress, everything she had was bestowed upon her from birth. Now, having lost everything, including her imperial status, it's only natural for her to feel anxious.
Constant probing is aningless.
"We need to help you reclaim the throne." Su Ziyu glanced at the hibernation pods before him and asked, "Is there anything in this base that could be useful to us? Let's take it along!"
"Yes." Empress Isabella nodded, saying, "Aside from the void batteries."
"There are interstellar warrior armors preserved by the Empire within the base, enough to arm a formation of one hundred and twenty personnel."
"But only three suits of interstellar armor can reach the strength of Holy Blood Angels."
The Holy Blood Angel armor is the one worn by Empress Isabella, and the one Su Ziyu stripped off earlier also counts, belonging to the highest tier of interstellar armor within the Empire, generally reserved for imperial family mbers and high-ranking nobles.
"How about weapons?" Su Ziyu asked.
Empress Isabella thought for a mont and said, "This military base doesn't have any large-scale destructive weapons."
"The most powerful should be the Doomsday Rocket Cannon."
"Oh, right."
"Follow , I've just rembered sothing."
After saying this, Empress Isabella excitedly walked into a specific compartnt, returning a short while later carrying a silver-white sealed box and presented it to Su Ziyu as if offering a treasure, saying, "Look at this. It was found in the Ancient Lost Empire relics."
—— "Anti-Particle Bullet [High Tier Legendary]."
Before Su Ziyu's eyes were silver-gray bullets, slightly larger than standard ones, with a diater of about three centiters. Beside them was a peculiar firearm with a silver-white sheen flowing over it. The firearm had an unknown translucent crystal at its head, and the body was quite hefty, seemingly requiring shoulder support to fire.
"System."
"Scan it." Su Ziyu leaned in with keen interest.
Shortly thereafter.
Accompanied by a stream of data, so analytical information gradually surfaced.
—— "Crystal Bomb Gun [High Tier Artifact]: A peculiar firearm researched by the Ancient Lost Empire, requiring Spiritual Energy for operation. The internal energy crystal can enhance the firearm's power and offers various bullet options. Attributes: Range Damage, Armor Piercing, Penetration."
—— "Anti-Particle Bullet [High Tier Legendary]: One of the pinnacle creations of the Ancient Lost Empire, manufactured by advanced interstellar civilization, the anti-particle bullet causes catastrophic damage upon firing. Attributes: Annihilation."
One, two, three, four, five...
There are a total of six silver-gray bullets inside, appearing unified. Su Ziyu picked one up for a closer look, surprisingly finding it sowhat heavy, not knowing what material it was made from.
"Wow?"
"Didn't expect to find artifacts from a Level Five Civilization here." The golden angel, having wandered the base due to her interest in everything there, also glanced at the corpses of interstellar warriors.
She then approached, raised her eyebrows at the anti-particle bullets before her, and said, "Weapons made of annihilation material?"
"Lord Stephen is quite fond of such weapons."
Su Ziyu turned to look at this stern-faced blonde angel, curiously asking, "Lord Stephen. That Space-Ti Guardian. Can you tell about him?"
"Him?" The blonde angel mused for a mont, chuckled with a hint of helplessness, and said, "He's quite the lazy fellow now."
"But he was once a legend."
"Leading a powerful team, assisting Saint—Void Master in defeating the Ancient Evil that nearly incarnated into an Evil God—the Star of Death On."
"Unfortunately, since then, he's beco quite the recluse in the Floating City."
"I have no idea what he does all day."
"Aside from the rare occasions when the maids host banquets, most tis one sees him during events."
It's sowhat different from how I'd imagined.
"Banquets?" Su Ziyu asked in disbelief.
"Yes." The blonde angel picked up an anti-particle bullet for a look, set it down, and said, "He often says he wants to take a long vacation. If not for the increasing severity of issues in the Space-Ti Hub, he probably wouldn't even want to be the Space-Ti Guardian anymore."
"He's a person with no interest in power."
Su Ziyu hadn't expected this answer and hesitated, saying, "Then he must be soone who follows his heart."
"Quite the opposite." The blonde angel shook her head and said, "He's sotis strict to the point of harshness with himself."
The topic ended there.
Because Empress Isabella had already initiated the spaceship remotely, the pair ceased their conversation and entered the opened cabin door together.
"Since you've chosen the Spiritual Energy path," the golden angel paused as she entered the spaceship, and slowly said, "why not specialize in mind control?"
"With your current level of Spiritual Energy."
"Not to ntion controlling an entire planet's populace, but controlling the majority of a planet's population shouldn't be an issue."
"Is it due to ethical considerations holding you back?"
Mind control?
Su Ziyu hesitated for a mont and then answered, "What you are asking, I'm afraid I can't manage at the mont."
"Hmm?" The blonde angel's eyes flickered with a glimr of light, hesitating, "You've accumulated quite a bit of divinity. Haven't you specialized in researching mind control?"
"No." Su Ziyu replied bluntly, "In fact, I just ascended not long ago."
"This isn't right." The blonde angel asked with an expression of surprise, "Hmm..."
"I want to ask."
"How long did it take you to ascend from an ordinary person, or let's say an ordinary professional, to a demigod?"
Su Ziyu recalled slightly and softly said, "About a year and a half."
Calculating the cumulative ti spent on all the planes, it's about a year and a half or just a little more.
Sizzle.
The blonde angel lifted her head in shock, then shook it with a smile, "You're just like them. The power enhancent speed of the Space-Ti Hub people is indeed terrifying!"
"You might be lacking a bit of foundation now."
"I suggest not rushing to ascend to higher realms; instead, focus on consolidating your groundwork."
"Alright."
"According to the teachings of Lord Stephen, if you haven't mastered specialized techniques like Legendary Spell Instant Cast, Legendary Spell Penetration, and High-Level Spell Matrix, then what kind of legendary spellcaster are you?"
This made Su Ziyu sowhat embarrassed, but in reality, his skill tree is just that extensive, entirely accumulated from world to world.
As of now, he's mastered everything he could.
"Lord Stephen's Tower Spirit records so caster techniques." The blonde angel thought for a mont and softly said, "Perhaps you can try transforming them yourself."
The spaceship starts.
After starting the spaceship, Empress Isabella ca over and glanced at Su Ziyu, softly saying, "Shall we head directly to the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded, solemnly replying, "Ti is running out for us."
He then gestured for Empress Isabella to continue piloting the spaceship and nodded towards the blonde angel, "I'll give it a try."
Closing his eyes.
Su Ziyu's consciousness sank into the Space-Ti Monitor System's recorded database, and sure enough, he found many specialized abilities for casters within it, although they were primarily from the Arcane Mage line, which greatly differed from the spiritual energy he wielded. Upon an initial review, Su Ziyu saw an enormous number of specialties and specialized abilities such as Spell Penetration, Spell Maximization, and Magic Reshaping. Although not in the sa system as his abilities, many techniques were quite intriguing.
Ti ticked by.
As Su Ziyu imrsed himself in the vast database, diligently learning the knowledge within, transforming it bit by bit into abilities useful to him.
Suddenly, the data stream in the Space-Ti Monitor System began to change.
"Converting and analyzing."
"Relevant abilities are being parsed!... Parse progress 10%. 20%. 30%..."
"Spell Penetration [Spiritual Energy] added to the skill tree!..."
"Mind Penetration [Specialty] added to the skill tree!..."
"High Tier Spell Penetration [Spiritual Energy] added to the skill tree!..."
"Legendary Spell Penetration [Spiritual Energy] added to the skill tree!..."
"Spell Maximization [Spiritual Energy] added to the skill tree!..."
"Spiritual Energy Reshaping [Specialty] added to the skill tree!..."
A large stream of data surged and gradually transford into knowledge that Su Ziyu could understand, saved into the Space-Ti Monitor System's database.
Su Ziyu has always lacked so very crucial elents.
That is, in the worlds he has experienced, most were primarily technology-driven ones, with occasional entry into magic planes, those were of relatively low energy levels, hence he never received systematic learning. An individual's accumulation cannot compare to a civilization's accumulation; his own gradual exploration has barely allowed him to reach the current level.
In Eastern terms, the information recorded in the Tower Spirit could be considered the entire comprehensive doctrine of a magic civilization, painstakingly perfected over several thousand years and across dozens of generations.
"There once was a powerful Mind Flayer Empire in the Multiverse."
"They advanced their mind control abilities to a very high level, and Lord Stephen holds so of their information." The blonde angel's voice ca softly, "Perhaps you can ask him about it in the future."
"We're about to enter the atmosphere."
The spaceship shook slightly.
Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes and said to the blonde angel, facing him, "Hmm. I will."
"Thank you."
After receiving the prompt, the Space-Ti Monitor System's skill tree expanded by over a dozen passive abilities, of which he planned to selectively strengthen a few initially.
Indeed.
As pointed out, Su Ziyu's foundation isn't rich enough. After thoroughly reading the materials from the Tower Spirit, he found himself severely lacking in specialized abilities. A qualified legendary spellcaster needs to master at least a dozen passive specialties and more than three legendary specialties; all these are not active abilities but long-term passive talents.
Yet, Su Ziyu currently actually has not even one legendary specialty; he possesses only a strong spiritual energy but doesn't truly know how to use it effectively.
