Chapter 790 - 146: Order Incarnation A22
They kept moving toward the enormous shadow, but did not feel that the distance was getting any closer. It seemed to be too far away.
Su Changxing stopped and looked ahead. At the edge of the Perception range, a humanoid creature appeared. Its face was unclear, but it seemed to be a woman with long silver hair.
"Something is approaching."
He added, "It might be a Titan Insect Race."
Titan Insect Race is a general term for tens of thousands of species, and there are quite a few humanoid Titan Insect Races.
They encountered them back on Blue Star, fused with human genes, and their combat power was not strong.
The unknown creature stood at the edge of the Spatial Rift area, waiting for them, as if it had already known of their arrival.
Su Changxing decisively set up the Sniper Rifle and fired directly at it. In this place, what they encountered were most likely enemies, there was nothing much to say.
The bullet instantly traveled over a thousand meters, passing through the person’s body.
But it caused no harm.
It was dodged.
Su Changxing couldn’t see how the other party dodged his bullet. It seemed not to have made any movement, standing still in place.
"That’s not a Titan Insect Race."
Mi discerned, unable to identify what the other was, neither human nor Titan Humans, nor any creature she had seen before.
Su Changxing fired several more shots in succession, all passing through the humanoid creature without causing any harm.
Another troublesome entity.
The humanoid creature in that location stood motionless, looking at them.
As they got closer, the image became clearer: a black tight-fitting armor, silver long hair, a long katana floating behind, with a face devoid of any emotion.
It looked like a robot.
This was Su Changxing’s first impression, then the overwhelming sense of strength, a strength not hidden at all, fully exposed.
Notably, her black armor was tattered, and one arm was missing, like a rag doll.
Even though Su Changxing had launched several attacks, the other party still showed no intention of attacking them, just standing there quietly, waiting for them to approach.
"Probably a remnant creature from the great battle." Bai Shan analyzed, showing a look of interest.
"Who are you?"
Su Changxing asked from a far distance, feeling that the other had no intention of attacking them.
If the other really survived the great battle, this might actually be a good opportunity to understand the situation.
Her pupils were silver-white, the same color as her hair, emitting a tone similar to electronic synthesized sound: "Identified as Order creature, not within cleaning range."
"Humans, Titan Humans, do you have any requests?"
Su Changxing was taken aback upon seeing the other party speak like this.
This really seemed like a robot, or is the other party some kind of mechanical being?
The Eye of Data slowly analyzed one piece of information after another.
[Order Guard: Order Incarnation, a being formed by the supreme Rule of Order, perfectly adhering to its behavior logic, possessing strength beyond mortal reach.
Never overstep the rules of Order in its presence, or you will surely be killed!
...]
What kind of thing is this?
Su Changxing’s face twitched slightly, realizing that the other party was an unimaginable existence, possibly with power comparable to a Divine Spirit.
Such an entity stood alive right in front of him.
The other people behaved relatively normally, merely considering the figure before them as a powerful creature left after the war.
Su Changxing’s expression changed, turning into a courteous smile, asking, "What are you here for?"
The blonde woman looked at him expressionlessly, mechanically responding, "To guard this place, forbidding any chaos from approaching."
"Does chaos refer to those Titan Insect Races?" Su Changxing followed up.
"They are just one type among them."
"Who are you, or rather, what is your name?"
"Me? I am the Guardian of Order, A22."
Su Changxing found the Order Guard very cooperative, answering whatever was asked, like a machine, without any sign of impatience.
Perhaps in a sense, she is exactly a robot, just in a slightly different form.
Su Changxing gradually relaxed, feeling that the Order Guard A22 posed no threat to them.
If it really intended to act against them, it would act directly with powerful force, without beating around the bush.
"What happened here before? Why was the Ninth Dimension destroyed?" Su Changxing continued to ask, voicing his curiosities.
A22 shook her head, coldly stated, "I don’t know, I haven’t experienced it, my task is merely to guard this place."
"Why are you guarding here? Are you protecting something?" Su Changxing asked again.
"I don’t know." A22 mechanically answered.
This means that the Order Guard appeared here only after the great war and did not experience the war.
She was here to guard against those Insects from getting close.
This must serve some purpose.
Su Changxing noticed Du’an and the others’ expressions, slightly raising his eyebrows, relieved that A22 hadn’t classified them as chaotic creatures, otherwise, they would have likely been wiped out.
In front of such an entity, they were absolutely no match.
Mi stepped forward to A22, closely staring at her and asked, "Have you seen Titan Humans like me?"
This mixed-blood Titan Human group had traversed many worlds but never found other Titans, not even mixed-blood Titan Humans.
This was a disappointing fact.
Long ago, they had concluded that they might be the last Titan Humans, residual souls after the death of Titan Humans.
A22 looked at Mi, saying, "I’ve never seen weak Titan Humans like you, but approximately twenty thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago, five thousand years ago, and two thousand years ago, Titan Humans have come here."
Upon hearing this, Mi showed a look of joy, suddenly realizing they might not be the only Titan Humans.
Mi asked again, "Do you know where they are now?"
A22 shook her head, "I don’t know, I’ve never left this place, but everyone asks me the same question."
"That’s rather interesting."
Though saying it’s interesting, her face carried none of the colors associated with interest, resembling a human devoid of emotion.
"Has everyone asked a similar question?" Mi’s expression subtly changed, knowing those Titan Humans are all searching for other kin, mostly solitary individuals, seeking due to loneliness, just like her current self.
"But it’s good; at least there are other Titan Humans alive." Mi displayed a faint smile.
True Titan Humans have a long life.
Since other Titan Humans came here two thousand years ago, it indicates that more Titan Humans are living somewhere unknown to her.
Su Changxing asked another crucial question, "How can we leave this place? We want to leave the Ninth Dimension."
This time he noticed an "as expected" look on A22’s face, subtly concealed within her eyes, but he still observed it.
She calmly answered:
"Right in front, at the end of this space; there is a deep well, Sea of Knowledge, originally the pillar of the Ninth Dimension, gathering all the knowledge of this dimension. You can leave the Ninth Dimension from there."
Su Changxing smiled and said, "I’m not the only one who has asked this question, am I? You answered very fluently."
A22 observed Su Changxing’s expression and said, "Yes, you are the 12,772nd person to ask me this question."
Many people, but A22 had been here for tens of thousands of years, so thinking about it, it is not that many.
After all, it seems not difficult to reach the Ninth Dimension.
Kelsey stood on a high slope, looking into the distance, saying thoughtfully, "There’s nothing to see, really."
