“Huh? There’s no one here? A full-intelligence system – how’s that possible?”
When Bellio’s group stepped into the empire-level warship, their eyes were filled with astonishment. In the enormous empire-level warship, no one who was controlling the ship for it was a full-intelligence system.
“Any questions?”
An unfamiliar voice spoke, following which they watched as a young man with eyes abstruse eyes walked out from the warship, staring at them serenely.
Everyone exchanged a nce. Of course, they had questions, major ones at that. ording to their understanding, even the dimension-level warship had not been fully automated. After all, a warship was not just operating an engine. There were the cannon system, the life system, the navigation system, and so on, even the ability to traverse space.
Therefore, intelligent systems were always only able to assist but not fully control the warship. All the warships of the An civilization that Merlin saw were still controlled by Ans.
“A full-intelligence warship – we’ve never seen one before. Can it be the army’s newest technological breakthrough? If that’s the case, howe you’re controlling it?”
Bellio’s expression was aloof but his voice was unusually steady.
Merlin’s heart leaped. He had overlooked this issue. He had always relied on the Matrix to control the empire-level warship. Previously, he did not think much of it, even feeling that it was ordinary. However, now that he was interrogated by Bellio, he felt that the Matrix was unusual indeed. It was no longer amon intelligent system as it was able to control such a huge warship.
Although he was caught off guard, Merlin soon thought of a response, saying softly, “You’re the Rebellion Army, so do you know that the army is recently advocating for war?”
“Of course we do. The army’s influence had swelled because they imed that they could lead us out of this dimension, entering the vast Void Zone. This incessant war had caused countless deaths. This isn’t what we want so we rebel against the army, the Senate, and the An Federation!”
Bellio and the rest of the Rebellion Army seemed to turn proud at this moment as if they were carrying out an iparably sacred duty.
In truth, the Rebellion Army felt this way. What they were undertaking was a sacred endeavor, opposing the military presence in the Void Zone, opposing the war.
‘I didn’t expect that the An civilization would be internally divided... However, it’s not that surprising. Even the Spell Caster civilization, at the start, had parties who wanted to reconcile with the An civilization. Only the three Great Arcane Wizards knew that this was impossible. So, they did not bother. However, these people have established a Rebellion Army. I can use them to conceal my identity!’
Many thoughts shed in Merlin’s mind but he quickly responded, “Since you know of the army’s wicked acts, they’re not necessarily unrivaled in the Void Zone. Otherwise, there won’t be so many deaths. I’m one of those who entered the Void Zone. The Void Zone is too formidable. There are tyrannical forces that can easily wipe out thousands of warships. The dimension-level warships that we think are the strongest aren’t even worth mentioning before those overwhelming forces. The army has run into trouble. You must’ve received reports that the army has gathered more warshipstely?”
Bellio and the rest were shocked, their faces shifting uncertainly. Following that, he nodded. “That’s right. We’ve received such news indeed. The army has mobilized warships on a wide scaletely, even starting to expand their forces. This time, we came here to investigate what’s happening in the Federation – we didn’t expect they’d been defeated in the Void Zone. Humph, this foolish army and the passive Senate that are suppressed by the army. That army sees only war. Once they have the authority, they would surely start arge-scale war. Our dimension has been destroyed by war.”
The Rebellion Army was opposed to war and marching into the Void Zone. Even if they marched in, it must be in a peaceful manner, not starting a war.
Merlin silently disapproved of this. The Rebellion Army was so na?ve, it was almost cute. Although the Void Zone wasrge, which area was not upied by foreign civilizations? If a new civilization rose, it would surely cause a war. Back when the Spell Caster civilization rose, they had wiped out countless weak civilizations as well before finally expanding to their current glorious state.
Merlin did not care how the Rebellion Army had acted. Now, he needed to earn their trust, and must thus justify this “intelligent system” issue.
“Since they ran into problems in the Void Zone, the army brought some iplete technology, which is this full-intelligence system. As to how I operate this warship to return to the An Dimension, I believe this is none of your concern, eh?”
“Hehe, indeed it’s not our business. Still, you drove this warship back to the An Dimension on your own, a deserter through and through in the eyes of the army. You also destroyed three city-level warships. By now, you’ve be the Federation’s enemy. Where can you go? Why don’t you follow us back to the Rebellion Army? We can protect you. Simrly, you can enhance our Rebellion Army’s strength. There’lle a day when we’ll overthrow the army and the Senate, establishing a peaceful, just world!”
Bellio’s words made everyone’s eyes shone. Nheless, Merlin shook his head helplessly. These people were idealists. After they survived in the Void Zone for a while, they would change their minds.
“Join your Rebellion Army? Your Rebellion Army has always been suppressed by the Federation. What future is there in joining you?”
Merlin would not agree at once, which might arouse suspicion. After all, the Federation’s power was still the greatest in the An civilization, and it was aplete institution. Joining the Rebellion Army, in the eyes of many, was rather insane.
Most who joined the Rebellion Army were criminals, rogues or perhaps adventurers and idealists, and so on. A Rebellion Army like this would not aplish much.
Unless there was a miracle.
“Miracle? Am I not the bringer of miracles to them?”
A smirk flitted over Merlin’s lips as he stared evenly at Bellio and the rest.
Still, Bellio was able to recognize reality,ying things out orderly. “Our Rebellion Army is indeed somewhat disorganized now, and we’re rather weak in power. However, it’s the only ce that can protect you. After all, you steering such a massive warship is too easily noticed. If you’re blocked, I’m afraid you’d be greeted with dimension-level warships.”
As if he was considering Bellio’s words, Merlin finally spoke with “great reluctance”, “Alright, then I shall follow you to take a look at the Rebellion Army first, and see how it’s like?”
“Haha, you’ll grow to like the ce.”
Bellio and the rest cheered. Although they had encountered danger, they had roped in an empire-level warship, one equipped with the army’s secretly researched, full-intelligence system. Such an advanced warship was undoubtedly the number one asset even in the Rebellion Army.
The Rebellion Army had only one dimension-level warship. This was the fundamental reason the Rebellion Army could survive up until now. As for the other warships, they were too rare. Even city-level warships were few, much less empire-level warships. Mostly, they only had armed spaceships that were modified.
Nevertheless, against the Federation’s warships, these were useless.
Following that, everyone sat in the warship, flying toward the Rebellion Army. On the way, the members of the Rebellion Army seemed curious about this empire-level warship. They were not high-level members of the Rebellion Army. Otherwise, they would not be sent to such a hazardous investigation mission. It was their first time setting foot in an empire-level warship.
Meanwhile, Merlin stood by one side, finding out about the An civilization, especially the major issues. Currently, Merlin still had some reservations such as the void-level warship. It definitely could not be easily created in the Void Zone, and must be manufactured in advance in the An Dimension, so where was this ce? It must be the biggest secret. Only a few people would know, and Merlin was using his inquiries to specte about some possible locations.
Other than the void-level warship which made Merlin apprehensive, Merlin’s mind was lingering over a stubborn uneasiness. Ever since he entered the An Dimension, this uneasiness had stayed with him.
After some consideration, he realized that the An Dimension was left behind by the Vestigial Tribe. Its most mystical aspect was its ability to cut off the natural order. What did the Vestigial Tribe use to cut off the natural order?
This was something Merlin had to find out urgently. Only after resolving both of these inquiries to a reasonable extent would Merlin act with swift tremendous force to annihte the An civilization.
Only after he had an absolute guarantee would Merlin act.
“Merlin, I’m awake. These people are so weak. Why don’t you act? I’m rather ravenous now. This ce is filled with energy, it’s wonderful...”
The ck cat Didimoss had woken up. He stared at the starships beyond the warship, and the Dimension Core below, his eyes gleaming with desire.
Due to the Dimension Core left by the Vestigial Tribe, this ce was filled with energy everywhere. This was where Didimoss had the best advantage. Moreover, without the natural order, could Didimoss break past the critical point?
In that case, the ck cat Didimoss would forever be unable to leave the An Dimension. Otherwise, if he went out, he would suffer the onught of the Void Zone’s natural order.
“These people are weak indeed but they ultimately received arge part of knowledge and technology left by the Vestigial Tribe. The Vestigial Tribe could even kill powerful beings like the Thirty-six Emperors. Didimoss, we’d better be careful, and only act when we’re certain of sess.”
Merlin pacified the ck cat Didimoss. Merlin dared not underestimate the Vestigial Tribe in the slightest.
“Beep. Danger alert. A few small spaceships are approaching from the front. Destroy them?”
After an unknown period, the piercing warning rang out, startling awake everyone in the warship.
