Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Knowledge Is Power (Two Updates of 10,000 Words Each, Seeking Monthly Votes)

However, He Ao’s actions did not pause, he looked up, gripping the handle of his knife, and charged toward the next warship.

Following that, another burst of light exploded in the void.

These warships entering the dome actually already possessed the capability to attack the seal, and with A02’s rationale, she couldn’t possibly control these warships to prioritize killing He Ao. Thus, once He Ao dodged, it meant that the seal would definitely be destroyed by these warships.

Therefore, he could not retreat at this moment.

The warships flying through deep space did not possess intelligence, they knew no fear, more and more of them converged in the sky above the dome, more frequent bursts of crimson light brushed past He Ao’s body as they passed.

In this extremely short time, He Ao’s body continued to ascend, the higher he went, the closer to the dome, the thinner the air became, and when he shattered the warships, the sound of the explosions he could hear diminished.

The flames burning the warships, however, didn’t change much.

It wasn’t the oxygen in the air that fueled these raging fires, but the fuel and accelerants brought by the warships themselves.

He Ao’s figure climbed higher and higher until he broke through the towering dome and entered the profound vastness of space.

At this moment, he could finally see the colossal spaceship in its entirety, his position was not at the very front of the ship, but in a compartment tightly adjacent to the front.

Bright light spilled onto the surface of the gigantic ship, the four constantly rotating cabins were like giant wheels that covered the skies.

In the depths of his current field of view, he could just make out the source of the light bathing the Navigator, an immense, blazing red orb that filled nearly the entire world.

This fiery orb loomed at the center of the universe, the grand and huge Navigator orbiting around it like a speck of dust.

He Ao’s knowledge of astronomy told him that this was most likely a red dwarf star, a red dwarf without any accompanying planets.

Nevertheless, He Ao’s gaze was not drawn to this enormous object; he had no time to appreciate the spectacle of the universe right now.

The instant he glanced at the giant fiery ball, he faintly heard some almost imperceptible whispers in his ear.

His body kept dodging the sporadic bursts of light.

In the void, the number of warships were growing, under the bright sunlight, these tightly-packed warships resembled swarms of ants, filling the entire space.

These warships quickly closed in around He Ao, this time they did not disperse their attacks but instead aimed their glowing cannons at He Ao simultaneously.

A02 had given He Ao a chance to breathe, but only to completely wipe him out in the end.

From the predicted positions of those cannons, this time, no matter where He Ao dodged, it would be a dead end.

These weapons, created by humankind to protect us, ultimately turned their barrels towards their creator.

Death seemed so near.

He Ao gripped the handle of the mechanized broadsword again, found the notch he left behind, gave it a gentle twist, a fold, and broke the reassembled handle off.

At the same time, intense flames erupted from beneath his feet, propelling him even higher up.

The cannons of the warships continued to move following his figure.

That time was brief, but it seemed to pass excruciatingly slowly.

Just as those crimson lights were about to unleash once more, a phantom train suddenly emerged from the void.

He Ao, wearing an Adam-type mech suit, maintained an extremely high speed and narrowly entered through the open doors of the train.

Immediately after, the train plunged into the void without hesitation.

The red light struck where He Ao had just been, but now there was no target to be found.

Within the brightly lit Velora, He Ao’s body collided with the wall on the opposite side of the cabin and then slid down to the floor, taking a heavy breath.

The compartment door to his left opened, bringing in a surge of fresh air.

However, the floor beneath his feet was not steady; the entire Velora was trembling violently, like a small boat in the waves.

This was the surrounding space-time being quickly distorted and mutated; A02 was activating the Navigator’s engines to disrupt space-time, trying to forcefully squeeze the Velora out of the ’tunnel.’

This disturbed space-time severely interfered with the Velora’s stable journey through space-time; one misstep could result in being torn apart by the chaotic forces, so He Ao could not initiate remote space-time travel forcefully at this point.

This was also why he had to clear the warships that entered the dome; if he had run straight away, A02 would have been released during his brief time aboard the ship.

He had to buy time for the ’exchange.’

The exoskeleton armor on He Ao’s body quickly receded, transforming into a silver metallic briefcase.

He reached out directly, tossing the briefcase in his hand through the compartment door to his left.

A hand stretched out from the dim light to catch the silver briefcase.

The young man with glasses holding the briefcase appeared behind the compartment door.

The door on the left closed again, and with the closing of the compartment door, the silver exoskeleton armor rapidly spread across the body of the young man behind the door.

Then, the bright light flooded the compartment again, and the train reappeared in the void.

The ’Hao Yi’ now clad in the exoskeleton armor turned into a beam of light as he rushed out of the train door.

...

At this moment, Zhang Yusi and the others were sitting in the dining car at the tail of the Velora, the windows around them were pitch black, seeming to be sealed off by this car’s power.

After a brief tremor, bright brilliance poured into the carriage.

The tightly shut windows seemed to have been opened.

"Look at that."

Yuan Guo, sitting next to Zhang Yusi, pointed outside the window.

The stars twinkled outside the window, and the densely arranged spaceships were reflected in the pupils of the two.

The warships that had just lost their target did not panic but quickly shifted their target, flying toward the dome below, with their crimson light aimed at the hall arranged with seals.

At the same time, a portion of the warships discovered the reemerged Velora and aimed their cannons at it.

"Is this... Star Wars or something?"

Shu Gui stammered, watching all this unfold.

"What should we... do?"

Yasia stared blankly at this scene, thinking one spaceship just now was terrifying enough, not to mention, there were so many of them here.

Zhang Yusi did not answer his question, nor did the other companions.

Because the answer to the question had already appeared before them.

A silver figure burst out from the direction of the Velora, rushing towards the seemingly boundless warships, with a pitch-black thin sword tightly grasped in his hand.

Zhang Yusi didn’t know how to describe what he was seeing: that figure was so tiny compared to the majestic warships.

He was like a mortal drawing his sword against the sky, charging at the insurmountable.

Beams of crimson brilliance emerged from the barrels of the warships.

At this moment, in another carriage, He Ao slowly grasped the Miracle Wand at his waist.

Upon entering the Navigator, the Mountain Collapse Tsunami’s progress bar was at 8/5. After killing Ivier, it increased by three, making it 11/5. He had just used it once against David, bringing it down to 6/5. After killing David, it rose by two, going back to 8/5.

So He Ao still had one chance to use the Mountain Collapse Tsunami skill.

He didn’t hesitate and directly activated the skill.

Mountain Collapse Tsunami!

In the depths of space, with no land or breeze, Mountain Collapse Tsunami manifested the most authentic, fundamental power of this ability.

Rending!

The rending that destroys everything.

In the silent vacuum, as ’Hao Yi’ in the Exoskeleton Armor swiftly approached, one after another, the warships were suddenly torn apart by this grand force and exploded into fierce flames.

Meanwhile, He Ao, controlling the Hao Yi clone, plunged headlong into the burning flames, and his Shadowless Sword, like a phantom, flew out of his hands.

As this sword’s illusion and ’Hao Yi’ passed through the flames, whenever they encountered warships that had not been ripped apart by Mountain Collapse Tsunami, the illusion would suddenly condense into a solid form, piercing through the ship, igniting a new burst of fire in the sky.

Standing inside the spaceship, Zhang Yusi and others watched this scene in a daze.

A brilliant display of fireworks that filled their entire field of vision was unfolding in this silent universe.

At that moment, He Ao in another carriage withdrew his gaze.

He was very clear that his current suppression of those warships was only temporary. A02 should now be trying to deploy even more powerful mechanical weapons into the battle.

This super artificial intelligence, contaminated and originating from the relics, could not only control those mutated flesh and mechanical monsters but also the machinery of this ship.

The stars in the sky twinkled, the engines of the Navigator were constantly distorting space-time.

By now, He Ao also understood that this ancient AI could almost marshal all the power of this colossal entity within his sight.

To be enemies with A02 was, in fact, to be at war with this ship.

In a sense, fighting against such an enemy was like drawing one’s sword against the world.

As the war with A02 continued, the scales of victory were almost undoubtedly tilting back toward A02’s side.

He Ao took out the brooch adorned with emerald petals from his pocket, and then he staggered to his feet, walking to the window.

As ’Hao Yi’ confronted the ships, the Velora once again sailed into the dark ’tunnel’.

Long-distance space-time travel was not possible, but short-distance traversal was still achievable.

Upon entering the tunnel, the whole Velora once again began to shake violently.

He Ao took out The Forged Pages of Knowledge.

The actual effect of this page was to steal knowledge. It could answer three questions relating to C-level knowledge.

He Ao stroked the Lucky Brooch in his hand.

The Lucky Brooch had two abilities: one passive, one active.

The passive ability was that upon wearing the brooch, one would naturally enter into a state of luck, which the wearer could subjectively control to continue indefinitely, but the longer the continuation, the stronger the misfortune that would come after the lucky state ended.

He Ao had just used this passive skill when dealing with Ivier,

Theoretically, it seemed possible to infinitely extend this lucky state to evade disaster, but according to He Ao’s experience, such Transcendent items often provided ’luck’ that wasn’t truly fortunate in the later stages.

To explain using the information provided by the Lucky Brooch, ’The person wearing the Lucky Brooch will receive the favor of fate, but the favor of fate is often capricious and costly.’

The other ability was an active one that could fulfill a wish for ’luck’.

According to the brooch’s information, it meant, ’When you desire, fate will bestow its favor.’

From He Ao’s understanding, it seemed if he wished to win five million in the lottery, then he was bound to win it.

There were no negative effects associated with this ability in the Lucky Brooch’s description.

However, based on the effects of the passive skill, it seemed likely that the more luck endured, the more misfortune one had to bear.

The Velora emerged from the tunnel, its doors opened, and ’Hao Yi’ in Exoskeleton Armor flew in.

He Ao passed the brooch to ’Hao Yi,’ controlling him to detach a part of the exoskeleton armor to wear it on his chest. Then, he handed over the Forged Pages of Knowledge to ’Hao Yi.’

Currently, most of the battleships outside had been destroyed, and the power of A02 was temporarily suppressed, leaving no strength to destroy the seal in a very short time frame.

This was the brief ’window of opportunity’ He Ao had won for himself.

Controlling his clone, holding the Forged Pages of Knowledge, he had already asked two questions and there was yet a third to ask.

First, He Ao willed the power of the Lucky Brooch to ensure his upcoming question would receive a reasonable answer.

Then he whispered to the page, "I want to know the clues to my subsequent ’C-level’ Talent Sequences."

Direct questions about C-level Talent Sequences wouldn’t be answered because that was the rule.

Even if the Lucky Brooch could twist fate to let He Ao break the rules for answers, he wouldn’t try, knowing full well he couldn’t afford the price.

Thus, He Ao asked a question that skirted around the edges of the C-level Talent Sequences, yet wasn’t entirely about the C-level information.

However, from his experience with the previous two questions, such borderline questions wouldn’t be answered by the page either.

So he activated the power of the Lucky Brooch.

After He Ao asked the question, the page trembled violently, as if resisting the inquiry.

Subsequently, the color on the emerald brooch grew even deeper.

Finally, lines of text began to appear on the page,

[Super Memory’s C-level Talent Sequence clue:]

[Talent Sequence 200: Orator]

[Black Market... Speaker... Hill...]

[Secret Mage’s C-level Talent Sequence clue:]

[Ouroboros]

With each line that appeared, a crack emerged on the page, until the last line materialized completely, and the entire page had turned into a ’strip’ composed of numerous cracks.

He Ao memorized the content on the page.

He scrutinized it, confirming his suspicion that such extreme questions would significantly exhaust the page’s power.

When the final question was asked, He Ao felt that in the endless expanse of time and space outside, a vast and majestic presence had locked onto this page.

If He Ao continued asking questions, it was possible he would attract the attention of this vast presence.

However, now, the page seemingly had no restrictions on the level of questions asked.

The essence of this page was essentially stealing knowledge from knowledge itself, and nobody would appreciate one who shears their own wool.

From the initial system description upon acquiring this page, it could only ask a third question ’safely’; asking beyond that greatly risked being pursued by knowledge itself, possibly leading to incorrect answers.

He Ao took a deep breath.

This was the first time he was handling such a matter in the main world.

The Velora exited the tunnel, once again emerging into the void.

This time, the vehicle appeared inside the Core Control Room, parking directly in front of the glass wall.

The damaged miniature computer He Ao had dropped on the ground earlier began to emit a faint glow.

That was a Morse code.

A02 was asking He Ao, ’What do you want to do?’

He Ao did not respond to her. He just looked through the train window at the huge translucent glass wall and at the skeleton beyond it.

He slowly reached out his hand.

Retrieve objects from the air!

The mechanical bracelet on the skeleton’s wrist vanished instantly, appearing in his hand.

The damaged computer in this instant began to flicker uncontrollably and intensely.

A02 seemed to have a lot to say.

However, He Ao paid her no mind, as he always had the ability to take the mechanical bracelet, he simply hadn’t made his move until now.

At this time, his clone, holding the damaged pages, descended from the Velora.

He once again invoked the power of the Lucky Brooch, stating his wish, "This question of mine should only be understood by the pages after I’ve left."

Then, he reached out his hand, touched a bit of bloodstain on the ground that hadn’t yet dried, and drew a standard Septagram on the page.

Even He Ao’s hand shook a bit while drawing the pattern.

Once the pattern was complete, he took a deep breath and asked his question to the pages, "The prayer spell of the God of Knowledge."

He then unhesitatingly threw down the page and dashed into the Velora.

Swiftly thereafter, the Velora started up and vanished into the void.

The broken micro-computer revealed the fragmented image of A02.

Her silver eyes flickered with a hint of confusion, as if she didn’t understand what He Ao was doing.

At this moment, because the dome had been opened, the air that served as a medium for sound was almost completely gone, so she did not hear what He Ao had just said.

But she was very clear that He Ao was definitely up to something.

Violent contamination erupted from the grey dodecahedron crystal in the center, rapidly gathering onto the pages that drifted from the sky, attempting in the crudest manner to erode the pages and forcefully suppress their power.

Immediately following, a battleship hovered outside the Core Control Room.

A brilliant red light surged from the massive cannon and in an instant struck the metal pillar of the Core Control Room.

The surging force swept through the entire Core Control Room, and the bloodstained golden bracelet that hovered above the crystal shone brightly.

The deep red glow slowly faded, and faint cracks appeared on all the metal pillars within the Core Control Room, but they were not destroyed.

The entire sealing circuit was still operating normally.

However, before the surging power circuits had completely halted, one after another, new battleships appeared outside the destroyed gate.

Red beams filled the area in an instant.

The overwhelming power circuits shattered under the crushing force, with massive metal fragments scattering in all directions.

This seal that had lasted for who knows how many eons finally met its end at this moment.

The boundless contamination spread in all directions in an instant.

Thud, thud—

A slender shadow of an arm emerged on the inner side of the grey dodecahedron, lightly knocking on the interior surface of the crystal before suddenly smashing it from the inside with a punch.

A hand as white as jade reached out from the shattered opening.

The endless contamination whirled up around it like a tempest, sweeping up all matter nearby.

She reached out to grab the golden bracelet in the sky, now lacking support and plummeting downwards.

In that instant, a speeding train flashed by.

Retrieve objects from the air!

The white, slender hand grasped at nothing.

A02: ?

You ran away, didn’t you?

The violent contamination formed an invisible shadowy giant hand, which instantly surged towards the speeding train that had not yet fully disappeared into the ’tunnel’, attempting to snatch the train from space-time.

At this moment, He Ao standing on the front of the train did not hesitate to pour out all the grey Energy Blocks from his pocket.

The power of Andaville’s Spear carried by the Shadowless Sword had been exhausted on the way, and although these Energy Blocks were not of high quality, there were plenty of them.

Simultaneously, he also turned the Shadowless Sword horizontally and triggered its power.

The train entering the void suddenly accelerated, completely entering space-time before the terrifying shadowy hand could reach it.

At this moment, the broken pages previously suppressed by the force of contamination, due to its departure, finally gained ’freedom’.

A faint gray glow lit up on the page, and a line of tiny text emerged in the center of the Septagram made with blood:

[All things will exhaust, only Truth is infinite.]

The dreadful glow crossed boundless space-time, descending from the heavens, piercing through the battleships in the sky, through the sturdy walls of the spacecraft, through the grey dodecahedron crystal.

The dim, hazy shadows gathered together, attempting to resist this raging glow, but in the next second, an even more fearful and furious power followed, completely penetrating the shadows and destroying everything related to them.

The intangible grey light, like ripples, spread grand waves through the eternal depths of space, disturbing all in the deep void.

The vast and fierce fireball spewed mighty flames, alongside the once more eternally silenced Navigator, composing a vast, tranquil painting in the deep emptiness of space.
