Bab 1219 [Kebolehan Esper-Pembahyang]
Laporan Philip mengganggu kerjanya. Han Xiao memikirkannya dan memutuskan untuk beristirahat sejenak. Dia meninggalkan workshop, masuk ke lounge pribadi, dan duduk di sofa. Dia menggerakkan tangannya agar asisten mekaniknya membawa makanan ringan dan minuman, lalu membrol ke berita terkini di jaringan kuantum.
Selama versi diupdate, forum terdingin beku, sehingga Han Xiao kehilangan satu bentuk hiburan utama. Di waktu luarnya, selain teleport ke Pulau Naga Terbalik untuk menyertai Ames, semuanya dia hanya melihat berita online.
Memandang situasi Perang Berdegaman, Han Xiao berpikir, Yo, sudah di tahap ini. Aliansi Bintang Bintang hampir kehilangan kendalinya. Ternyata mereka tidak bisa mengubah nasib sendiri. Akhir perang akan segera datang.
Karena efek kehangatan yang dia menyebabkan, Han Xiao tidak bisa memprediksi tepat kapan Perang Berdegaman akan berakhir. Namun, berdasarkan kondisi saat ini, debu mungkin akan menimbus dalam tiga tahun. Aliansi Bintang Bintang tidak akan bisa bertahan lama lagi.
Perang Berdegaman bermula pada Tahun Galaksi 732. Enam tahun sudah berlalu. Ini sangat dekat dengan predikasinya. Dia merasa perang akan berlangsung minimal tiga hingga lima tahun, dan paling banyak hingga sepuluh hingga dua puluh tahun.
Meskipun Penyakit Kecerdasan terjadi lebih awal, memberikan waktu tambahan bagi Aliansi Bintang Bintang, masih banyak faktor yang membuat mereka memiliki keadaan tidak menguntungkan. Aliansi Bintang Bintang sedang berjuang perang defensif. Pertempuran berada jauh dari wilayah mereka, mereka dikelilingi musuh seperti di pulau. Pada tahun-tahun terakhir, tiga Peradaban Universal telah memotong rute pasokan rahasia musuh mereka, menyebabkan Aliansi Bintang Bintang semakin kurang dukungan eksternal. Kondisi mereka semakin buruk setiap hari. Satu-satunya cara untuk keluar dari situasi ini adalah melalui cara eksternal, mengirim tentara dari wilayah rumah dan menciptakan zona perang baru di dimensi lain. Namun, jika mereka melakukan itu, sifat perang akan berubah secara total. Hukum antara peradaban canggih akan pecah, dan skala perang akan naik beberapa level. Perang akan menjadi jauh lebih intens.
Mereka hanya sedang memasang undian kecil. Tidak ada yang bisa menanggung konsekuensi menginjak balik meja yang diputar total.
Han Xiao menggigit wangkulat dan berkata, "Saat perang selesai, Dinasti Crimson dan Federasi Cahaya akan memiliki pemimpin yang berbeda. Masa keberanian Urranrell akan berakhir, dan dia akan pensiun. Pemerintah baru... tsk, orang yang sulit."
Dia tidak yakin apakah efek kehangatannya akan mengubah siapa pemimpin baru, namun peluang itu rendah. Oleh karena itu, tentu saja dia tahu siapa pemimpin baru.
Meskipun kadang-kadang dia bermasalah dengan Urranrell, persaingan itu cukup menyenangkan. Namun, pemimpin berikutnya adalah seseorang dari fракasi elang yang memiliki cara berbeda. Di masa lalu, Kekacauan Super dan Pasukan Revolusi Silver terjadi selama masa pemerintahan pemimpin baru tersebut. Pemimpin baru juga adalah orang yang paling familiar bagi para pemain dalam kehidupan sebelumnya.
Pemimpin ini tidak terlalu lembut terhadap Super. Justru inilah alasan mengapa Kekacauan Super terjadi. Presiden Federasi Cahaya juga bukan orang yang enak. "Saat pemimpin baru mengambil alih, dia pasti akan menghubungi semua ally Grade A di atas. Saya berharap hal-hal bisa tetap sama."
Han Xiao mengangguk. Setiap kali pemimpin menggantikan lama, banyak masalah muncul.
Dia memindahkan pikirannya dan melihat antarmuka. Saat ini, (God’s Trait Transformation Machinery]-nya sudah di tahap ke-12. Dia menyelesaikan semua misi prasyarat dengan Kartu Penyelesaian Misi, jadi dia hanya menghabiskan total tujuh poin God’s Trait Transformation.
Biaya untuk naik ke tahap ke-13 adalah delapan poin dengan tiga misi prasyarat. Ini berarti harus minimal empat poin God’s Trait Transformation.
Harta karun teknologi dari Jayz terdiri dari blueprint emas. Ini adalah gunung emas yang harus dimakan perlahan. Han Xiao hanya mempelajari sebagian dalam tahun-tahun lalu, dan dia sudah merasa inventarisnya menjadi lebih kaya.
Jika dia mengumpulkan Poin Kontribusi dan menukar blueprint emas dari tiga Peradaban Universal, dia tahu kapan dia akan mendapatkan pengetahuan ini.
Han Xiao melihat teknologi sebagai kartu truk akhirnya dan belum pernah menampilkannya di depan orang lain. Dia percaya bahwa ketika dia menggunakannya di depan orang lain, berbagai peradaban dan Beyond Grade As lainnya akan gemetar, dan dia akan menghadapi banyak masalah. Oleh karena itu, lebih baik dia belajar perlahan dulu.
Lebih dari dua bulan kemudian, armada dinasti tiba di Istana Bintang Hitam, membawa elit dynasti untuk menerima proses evolusi dari Kubus Evolusi.
Pesawat spas di mana-mana mendarat di deret pelabuhan luar basis Istana Bintang Hitam satu per satu. Lidah terbuka, elit dari berbagai departemen keluar, berkumpul di lantai. Sebagai satu-satunya Beyond Grade A, Gaud secara alami menjadi pemimpin. Sejak ia melangkah ke deretan, seorang perwarna langsung mendengarkan. Seorang perwarna perwarna mendampinginya langsung.
Mereka cepat sampai ke persimpangan.
Ini kali, perwarna berhenti, menoleh ke Gaud, dan berkata, "Andal, Tuan Gaud, komandan pasukan ingin ngobrol dengan Anda. Silakan ikuti saya."
Perwarna memimpin lalu massa mengikuti di belakang.
Mereka cepat sampai ke ruangan privat. Lidah terbuka, pintu dibuka, dan mereka berjalan ke depan. Gaud langsung melihat Han Xiao yang berdiri di depan jendela, menoleh menjauh. Pria itu tinggi, otot tebal, bahu lebar, memberikan vibranse pria di seluruh tubuhnya. Dia terlihat seperti pungil.
Mendengar suara pintu membuka, Han Xiao menoleh, tersenyum ramah, dan menunjuk kursi dengan gerakan tangan.
"Anda pasti Gaud. Dinasti baru mendapatkan anggota Beyond Grade A langsung, selamat. Cepat, silakan duduk." "Kita bertemu lagi. Kamu masih ingat aku?" Gaud duduk, nada santai. "Tentu, kita bertemu sekali saat perang Race Kunde."
Han Xiao duduk di depannya, secara diam-diam menilai. Dia benar-benar yakin orang ini tidak pernah ada dalam kehidupan sebelumnya. Dia bertanya-tanya dari mana dia berasal.
Gaud mengangguk, tersenyum tipis, dan berkata, "Ya, maka kamu pasti ingat apa yang kubicarakan tadi. Aku katakan kita pasti akan menjadi rekan kerja suatu hari nanti, dan sekarang itu benar-benar terjadi."
"Saya suka kepercayaanmu. Saya suka berteman dengan orang yang punya potensi banyak." Han Xiao mengangguk tetapi secara diam-diam memikirkan di kepalanya.
Secara visual, pria ini tampak seperti orang yang sangat percaya diri. Bahkan saat berbicara dengannya, dia santai dan tidak merasa lebih rendah... Ini sangat umum di antara Beyond Grade As baru. Hanya terasa sombong tapi tidak aneh pun seperti itu.
Dalam database dinasti, informasi tentang Beyond Grade A langsung disimpan rahasia. Meskipun dengan izin aliyanya sebagai ally, dia hanya dapat menemukan beberapa informasi dasar, dan latar belakang Gaud sangat bersih. Dia terlihat seperti perwarna militer biasa dari dinasti.
Han Xiao hanya bingung karena pria ini tidak ada dalam kehidupan sebelumnya. Dia tidak punya dugaan lain untuk sekarang.
Gaud adalah anggota langsung dinasti, jadi Han Xiao tidak dalam posisi untuk memaksa dia. Tentu saja, dia tidak akan membuat masalah dengan rekan kerja hanya untuk memenuhi rasa penasaran.
Setelah itu, mereka berchat santai dan santai.
Setelah sebentar, Han Xiao merasa waktunya tiba dan berkata dengan senyum, "Aku sedikit penasaran dengan kebolehanmu. Apakah boleh kamu ceritakan?"
"Dunia akan tahu kebolehanku lebih cepat atau lambat. Tapi sebelum itu, biarkan aku menyembunyikannya sebentar. Ini juga yang diminta dinasti." Gaud tersenyum dan menolak.
Melihat ini, Han Xiao tidak melanjutkan untuk mencuba, tetapi juga tidak meninggalkan dia. Dia memutuskan untuk menyengatnya kemudian.
Mereka berbicara lebih lama. Gaud secara aktif menghentikan percakapan dan berkata dengan senyum, "Istana Bintang, mari hentikan percakapan seketika. Orang lain masih menunggu. Saya ingin segera melalui proses evolusi." "Karena kamu kesibukan, aku tidak akan menunggu kamu. Mari kita tetaplah berhubungan di masa depan."
Kemudian, kedua mereka keluar dari ruangan berdampingan dan datang ke ruang di mana elit dinasti berkumpul. Semua yang bersandar menunggu di sana.
Han Xiao berbicara beberapa kata pemberdayaan dan mengangkat tangannya. Kubus Evolusi berputar di depannya.
Dia memasukkan kode untuk mengaktifkannya. Energi Evolusi Hitam mengalir dan menyapu semua orang seperti ompat. Lalu energi berkondisi dan kakrekar hitam muncul di ruangan. Gaud berada di salah satu kakrekar.
Ruangan menjadi sunyi instan. Hanya Han Xiao yang bisa berjalan di sekitar itu.
Hehe, anak, kamu tidak bisa bergerak sekarang, kan?
Han Xiao tertawa, menyimpan Kubus Evolusi. Lalu dia mengontrol nanopartikel untuk membentuk jarum dan menusuk kakrekar Gaud.
Dia tahu rasanya seperti melalui proses evolusi. Mereka akan merasakan gatal yang meluas di seluruh tubuh. Sensasi di dalam tubuh mereka akan ditingkatkan, dan sensasi dunia luar akan menjadi pudar.
Meskipun Gaud menemukan ini, dia tidak khawatir. Setelah semua, dia bisa mudah mencari alasan.
Informasi pertempuran muncul di antarmuka, dan Han Xiao membrolnya dengan hati-hati. "Gaud, level... oh, 240? Dia punya banyak potensi, levelnya sama dengan saat aku menjadi Beyond Grade A... Wah, kebolehan ini memang ada. Benar-benar ada. Tidak heran dia sangat rahasia."
Han Xiao terdiam dengan penasaran. Di balik ini, dia menemukan hal-hal yang lebih mencurigakan. Dia melihat ke atribut Gaud. Tiba-tiba, matanya membidik satu talento Gaud dan dia menemukan anomali lain.
("Kebolehan Esper-Pembahyang:[] Tubuhmu telah dilahirkan ulang. Jiwamu masih kuat. Kamu telah mewariskan sebahagian INT dan MYS dari sebelumnya.")
Ini...
Matanya langsung melengkung ke bawah.
Dia bisa berpikir banyak hal hanya dari nama talenta ini.
Benar ada sesuatu yang aneh!
Pria ini mungkin hanya Beyond Grade A baru. Rahasia-rasanya tampak lebih mengejutkan dari yang saya pikirkan!
Phillip’s report interrupted his work. Han Xiao thought about it and decided to rest a while. He left the workshop, entered his personal lounge, and sat on the couch. He waved his hand to have the mechanical assistant bring some snacks and drinks, then browsed the recent news on the quantum network.
During the version upgrade, the forums were frozen, so Han Xiao lost a major form of entertainment. In his free time, other than teleporting to Floating Dragon Island to accompany Ames, all he did was look at the news online.
Looking at the situation of the Flickering War, Han Xiao thought, Yo, it’s already at this stage. The Super Star Cluster Alliance is almost going to lose grip. Looks like they couldn’t change their fate. The ending of the war is near.
Due to the butterfly effect he caused, Han Xiao could not accurately predict which exact day the Flickering War would end. However, judging from the current situation, the dust would probably settle within three years. The Super Star Cluster Alliance would not be able to last much longer.
The Flickering War broke out in Galaxy Calendar Year 732. Six years had already passed. This was close to what he predicted. He felt that the war would last at least three to five years, and at most ten to twenty years.
Although the Intelligent Plague broke out in advance, causing the Super Star Cluster Alliance to have more time to prepare, there were still way too many factors that caused them to have disadvantages. The Super Star Cluster Alliance were fighting a defensive war. The battlefield was far from their territory, they were surrounded by enemies like an island. In the past years, the three Universal Civilizations cut off tons of secret supply routes of the enemy, causing the Super Star Cluster Alliance to have less and less external support. Their situation was becoming worse every day. The only way for the Super Star Cluster Alliance to get out of this situation was through external means, dispatching soldiers from their home territory and making new battle zones in other Star Fields. However, if they did that, the nature of the war would become completely different. The laws between advanced civilizations would break, and the scale of the war would jump multiple levels. The war would become much more intense.
They were just putting down a small bet. No one could take the consequences of flipping the table completely.
Han Xiao rubbed his chin and said, “When the war is over, the Crimson Dynasty and the Federation of Light are both going to have different leaders. Urranrell’s term will end, and she’ll retire. The new ruler... tsk, a troublesome person.”
He was not sure if the butterfly effect he caused would change who the next ruler was, but the chance of that was not high. Hence, of course, he knew who the new ruler was.
Although he occasionally had trouble with Urranrell, the partnership was quite pleasant. However, the next ruler was someone in the hawk faction who had different ways of doing things. In his previous life, the Calamity of the Supers and the Silver Revolutionary Army both happened during the term of the new ruler. The next ruler was also the ruler the players were most familiar with in his previous life.
The ruler was not as lenient toward the Supers, which was also one of the reasons the Calamity of the Supers broke out. The next president of the Federation of Light was also not the nicest person.
“When the new ruler takes office, he’ll definitely make contact with all the Beyond Grade A allies. I hope things can stay the same.”
Han Xiao shook his head. Throughout history, every time the new took over the old, a lot of problems would come up.
He put this thought behind him and looked at the interface. Currently, his (God’s Trait Transformation Machinery] was already at the twelfth stage. He settled all the prerequisite missions with Mission Completion Cards, so he only spent a total of seven God’s Trait Transformation Points.
The cost of leveling up to the thirteenth stage was eight points with three prerequisite missions. This meant that it would at least require five God’s Trait Transformation Points.
The technology treasure trove from Jayz consisted of Gold blueprints. This was a gold mountain that needed to be digested slowly. Han Xiao only studied part of it in the past years, and he already felt that his inventory had become richer.
If he was to accumulate Contribution Points and exchange Gold blueprints from the three Universal Civilizations, God knew when he would be able to obtain this much knowledge.
Han Xiao considered the technology as his final trump card and had yet to display any of it. He believed that once he used it in front of others, the various civilizations and the other Beyond Grade As would probably be in an uproar, and he would face tons of trouble. Hence, it was better to slowly study them for now.
More than two months later, a dynasty fleet arrived at Black Star Palace, carrying the new batch of dynasty elites there to receive the evolution process from the Evolution Cube.
Spaceships rode into the dock at the exterior base of Black Star Palace one after another. The hatches opened, and the elites from the various departments of the dynasty swarmed out, gathering on the platform. As the only Beyond Grade A, Gaud naturally became the leader. As soon as he stepped onto the dock, a few army receptionists approached him directly.
“Elites of the dynasty, welcome to the Black Star Army. The army commander has been waiting. Please follow me.”
Then, the receptionist led the way ahead, and the crowd followed behind.
They quickly came to an intersection.
This time, the receptionist stopped, turned to Gaud, and said, “Your Excellency Gaud, the army commander would like to chat with you. Please follow me to see the army commander. As for the rest of you, my colleague will bring you to the hall to wait for the evolution
process.”
This was the army’s territory. The two sides had been partners for many years, so the dynasty elites had no objections. Black Star’s love for networking spread across the entire universe; no one found this strange. “Lead the way then.”
Gaud nodded with a calm expression.
The crowd split into two and went different directions. Gaud followed the receptionist. The footsteps of the others soon faded.
The two of them came to a private guest room, opened the door, and walked in. Gaud immediately saw Han Xiao, who was standing in front of the window, facing away from him. The stars were shining brightly outside the window. The person in front of the window was tall, muscular, and had wide shoulders, giving off a manly vibe all over his body. He looked like a Pugilist.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Han Xiao turned around, gave a friendly smile, and pointed at the seat with a hand gesture.
“You must be Gaud. The dynasty got another direct Beyond Grade A member, congratulations. Quick, please sit.” “We meet again. Do you still remember me?” Gaud sat down, his tone casual. “Of course, we met once during the Kunde Race war.”
Han Xiao sat opposite Gaud, secretly sizing him up. He was now completely certain this person never existed in his previous life. He wondered where he came from.
Gaud nodded, smiled faintly, and said, “Yes, then you definitely remember what I said back then. I said we’ll surely become colleagues one day, and now it has come true.”
“I like your confidence. I love to make friends with people who have a lot of potential.” Han Xiao nodded but was secretly pondering in his mind.
From how it looked, this guy was someone who had extreme confidence. Even when speaking with him, he was casual and did not put himself in a lower position... This was very common among the new Beyond Grade As. It only felt arrogant but nothing strange other than that.
In the database of the dynasty, the information of the direct Beyond Grade As was all kept secret. Even with Han Xiao’s authorization as an ally, he could only find some of the basic information, and Gaud’s past was very clean. He looked like a regular military man of the dynasty.
Han Xiao was only curious because this person did not exist in his previous life. He did not have any other suspicions for now.
Gaud was a direct member of the dynasty, so Han Xiao was in no position to question him. Of course, he was not going to cause trouble with a colleague just to satisfy his curiosity.
Afterward, they had a casual and pleasant chat.
After a while, Han Xiao felt it was time and said with a smile, “I’m a little curious as to what your ability is. Is it ok to tell me?”
“The world will know my ability sooner or later. But before that, let me keep it a secret for some time. This is what the dynasty requested too.” Gaud grinned and refused.
Seeing this, Han Xiao did not continue to push him but neither did he give up-he decided to sting him later.
They chatted for a while longer. Gaud actively stopped their chat and said with a smile, “Black Star, let’s stop chatting for now. The others are still waiting. I want to go through the evolution process as soon as possible. I still have to visit Planet Finn and request to join the Beyond Grade A Association.”
“Oh, that’s easy. I’m the vice president. I’ll handle the procedures needed.” Han Xiao stood up. “Since you’re in a hurry, I won’t keep you. Let’s keep in contact in the future.”
Then, the two of them walked out of the room side by side and came to the hall where the dynasty elites gathered. They were all waiting there.
Han Xiao said a few words of encouragement and raised his hand. The Evolution Cube hovered and spun in front of him.
He entered the secret code to activate it. Black Evolution Energy gushed out and swept past everyone like a tide. Then energy solidified and black cocoons appeared in the hall. Gaud was in one of them.
The place became silent instantly. Only Han Xiao was able to walk around.
Hehe, kid, you can’t move now, can you?
Han Xiao giggled, stowing the Evolution Cube. Then, he controlled the nanoparticles to form a needle and poked it into the black cocoon Gaud was in.
He knew how it felt to go through the evolution process. They would feel an overwhelming itch all over their body. The senses inside their body would be enhanced, and their senses of the outside world would become dull.
Even if Gaud discovered he did this, he was not worried. After all, he could easily find an excuse for it.
The combat information popped up on the interface, and Han Xiao browsed through it carefully. “Gaud, level... oh, 240? He’s got a lot of potential, his level is the same as mine when I became a Beyond Grade A... Woah, this guy’s ability is Energy Control! This is the top tier ability among the Super High Risk Esper Abilities. It actually really exists. No wonder he’s so secretive about it. This ability almost counters all classes...”
Han Xiao was secretly shocked.
There were stronger and weaker Super High Risk Esper Abilities too, and Energy Control was undoubtedly top tier. It only existed in theory before, but now it really appeared. Gaud was probably the first ever person to possess this ability.
His ability was outrageously powerful, and his potential was also very high. If he continued training, becoming a peak Beyond Grade A would only be a matter of time. It was no wonder the dynasty poured so many resources into training him and kept him a highly confidential secret. This kid got a golden future!
In the battle of Beyond Grade As, one’s Esper Ability was a decisive factor too. If Gaud reached the same level as Clotti, Gaud would have a more than ninety-percent chance of beating Clotti. This was the advantage his Esper Ability had.
Energy Control countered almost all Supers. Be it psychic, magic, psionic, or dark energy, they were all included in the energy this ability could control. The only restriction was the user’s strength, which decided the limits of his control.
It would not be an exaggeration to say when Gaud reached his peak, he would be absolutely qualified to compete for the spot of the strongest individual in the entire explored universe.
