The Legendary Mechanic

Chapter 1389 - Hollow Spirit: feeling no loss, and a small gain (Thanks to my ally for banishment 100,000 reward!)

Retrieving his gaze from the attribute panel, Han Xiao turned his head and saw that Kesuye was stupidly eager to seemingly try out the Super-God class power himself, and waved his hand with a smile.

"Just forget about sparring, I've only just stepped into the Supergod class, I'm still unfamiliar with the power, I can't control it well, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold my hand and kill you, and then I'll have to revive you and cause me more trouble."

Are those human words?

Ksuye tilted his head.

Seeing that Han Xiao had no idea of displaying it at this point, Kesuye was not forced to do so, so he had no choice but to extinguish the thought for the time being, and anyway, sooner or later he would be able to see it.

Sweeping a glance at the four, Han Xiao smiled and said.

"Everyone, I still need to consolidate and familiarize myself with the power, so I'll be leaving first... By the way, Uranus, regarding the matter of unsealing the Scepter of All Gods, just let me know when you're ready."

After saying that, he nodded his head in farewell, and with a flicker, he disappeared before everyone's eyes.

The remaining four people looked at each other, the atmosphere somewhat delicate.

Black Star had shown them before their eyes the way to step into the super divine level, this kind of secret was only most valuable if mastered alone, and none of the current four were willing to leak it out, if it was put in the past, they might have thought of killing someone. But now times have changed, with the Black Star on top of their heads, the Association has unified the Super-A group, and there are still enemies outside, several people can only endure others sharing this secret together.

"Don't forget Black Star's instructions, it's enough that we know his method of advancement, and don't reveal it to anyone without his approval." Ceraon chimed in.

"Heh, do I look like someone who would talk nonsense?" Milizavus snorted.

"Blackstar is the president, and we're part of the association, so of course we won't open our mouths, but not necessarily the civilized firstborn." Kesuye narrowed his eyes at Uranus.

At the words, Mielizahus and Serion also turned to look at Urnos with subtle eyes.

None of the three had a motive to leak secrets, but as a Void Spirit Firstborn, would Ulnos keep it a secret if the civilization's top brass asked him for the method?

As part of the Association, the three of them considered from the standpoint of the camp, if the method of advancing to the super level was only in the hands of the Association, it would be a new bargaining chip to attract superhumans, and also a way to overpower the three major civilizations in terms of individual greatness.

Uranus looked calm and did not verbally compromise, casually saying, "I will try to advance as well, even if I don't say anything, they will know then."

"Tsk." Ceraon snorted and didn't retort.

Seeing that the three of them had nothing else to say, Uranus didn't linger any longer, turning into a stream of light and hurriedly leaving.

He now just wanted to hurry back to the Void Spirit Sect, and couldn't wait to study the Black Star's method of advancement.

The three Kesuye watched him leave without moving.

"With the Void Spirit National Weapon in this guy's hands and the success of the Black Star, the Void Spirit mostly won't lend it to outsiders for advancement use..." smacked his lips as Milizavus smacked his lips.

"Well, in that case, I'm afraid that only Uranus and the Void Spirit Firstborn will be able to replicate the method used by the Black Star, so let's not even think about it." Ceraon nodded.

"Blackstar is a mechanic, and at a higher level, perhaps he can research alternatives, we'll know when we ask."

Kesuye's expression was calm.

Considering the fact that the Void Spirit State Tool was an indispensable item for Black Star's method of advancement, a few people had the hidden idea of taking action and grabbing it, but thought better of it, Ulnoth was not easy to deal with and the three of them represented the Association, it was not suitable to create a storm in vain and bring trouble to Black Star.

Now that Black Star had opened up a new class, the position of the head of the association was more secure, and originally everyone was of the same class, so even if they were temporarily taking orders, they wouldn't think of themselves as Black Star's subordinates.

But with Black Star entering the new rank, the relationship was subconsciously changing, but the three of them hadn't yet felt the subtle shift in their subconscious.

At that moment, Mili Zavus remembered something and asked, "Right, although the method of advancement should be kept secret, there should be no need to hide the matter of Black Star stepping into the super divine level from the Association."

Kesuye shook his head, saying.

"Black Star didn't specifically order it, that means it's not needed, and there's no need to hide such a great thing, but it's limited to the Association's top circulation, so don't spread it. As for the three major civilizations over there, they'll 80% know the situation through Uranus' relay, but they won't just spread it around."

........

On the other side, the Void Spirit Sect.

"What did you say? Blackstar even made it?!"

The Void Spirit's head stared with a startled expression.

Uranus, who had come to report, nodded calmly and said slowly.

"That's right, Black Star has successfully stepped into the higher level of individual greatness, he named it the super divine level, I witnessed it with my own eyes."

"...Didn't you say that stepping into the new class is very difficult, and that lending out the Void Spirit State Weapon won't hurt because Black Star will fail a few times?"

The head of the Unholy Spirit was staring at Uranus in a deadly rage.

"Oh, I miscalculated." Ulnoth was expressionless and unapologetic.

"That's the end of it? You think you can reveal that with one word!"

The Void Spirit Patriarch glared, getting more and more annoyed.

If you hadn't stressed over and over again that this deal was a sure-fire winner, where would we have lent the Void Spirit State Weapon to help Black Star advance?

I'm afraid you're not hooking up with Black Star and deliberately speaking for him to fool me, are you?

I'm a sucker for you!

"So what do you want?" Uranus looked at him.

The Ethereal Patriarch closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath to calm the stirring feelings within, before speaking again.

"Anyway, it's happened, think of what other remedies there are."

Because of a bad decision that helped Blackstar touch a higher level of individual greatness, his gut was remorseful, he should have known better than to refuse Blackstar's request!

However, now was not the time to shrug it off, the order was given by himself and the responsibility could not be shirked, the Void Spirit Patriarch quickly got rid of the distractions of anger, regret and other emotions and pondered over the gains and losses.

"Looking on the bright side, at least we got back the Scepter of All Gods...provided Black Star doesn't break his word." The Void Spirit Patriarch shook his head.

"He doesn't have to break his word." Uranus said indifferently, "This cosmic treasure is no longer a threat to him."

"That's right..."

Upon hearing this, the Void Spirit Patriarch's heart became more and more unpleasant, only to feel that the Scepter of All Gods suddenly did not smell good.

This transaction was simply a blood loss!

But at that moment, Uranus slowed.

"However, this time is not without other rewards, I watched Black Star's advancement the entire time, I've mastered his methods and am no longer as clueless as before, I can replicate this success story and hit the higher levels."

The Void Spirit Patriarch was slightly startled, then his eyes brightened.

The Black Star's promotion to the super divine level was beneficial to foreign wars, but in the long run, it was definitely not good for the three major civilizations. But having learned the Black Star's method of advancement from one's own lineage, as long as it succeeded, one's own side would be able to have one more super divine individual greatness to separate from the Black Star and form a new counterbalance, without having to worry about the Black Star losing its grip!

What's more, it's their Void Spirits who have mastered this method, and even though the three civilizations are in the same breath, there are still different portals, and the Void Spirits are able to overpower the other two in terms of individual greatness!

The Void Spirit Patriarch was in a better mood and asked solemnly, "How sure are you of success?"

Uranus thought about it and nodded, "There's about a 70 percent chance that I can reach the super divine level like Black Star."

"Good!"

The Void Spirit Patriarch was energized.

Seventy percent probability, quite high! When we chatted before, Uranus had said that he was unsure, and now the odds had skyrocketed a thousand times.

In that case, then helping Black Star this time was not only not a loss, it was even a small gain?

Thinking a little deeper, it was fortunate that Black Star needed to borrow the Void Spirit State Weapon this time, otherwise he would have secretly advanced behind closed doors, the civilization's true lineage would have no way of knowing, and this method of advancement would be exclusive to the Association.

Wouldn't that be even more detrimental to the three civilizations in the future!

With this in mind, the Void Spirit Patriarch felt comfortable and finally smiled, saying.

"The Void Spirit will do its best to provide you with the resources to help you step into the Super-God class, if you need anything, just ask, don't be polite!"

"Don't worry, I won't be rude."

Ulnoth nodded his head in acknowledgement.

The Void Spirit Patriarch thought about it and said, "Also, you know about the method of advancement, keep it a secret for now, don't reveal it to anyone. As for Black Star's successful advancement, I'll inform the leaders of the Glory Federation and the Red Empire, we have a common interest in this area, and there's no hiding it, we need to talk to Black Star."

"Suit yourself, as long as it helps me."

Uranus didn't care about these miscellaneous matters, his mind was only focused on copying Han Xiao's method of advancement, it was as if he saw that the higher level he dreamed of was already beckoning him.

........

One day later, Black Star Legion territory, Exclusive Machinery Factory.

Han Xiao gazed at the mass of thundercloud-like mechanical energy suspended in his palm, his pupils constricting as if he was observing a microscopic world.

After a while, he suddenly squeezed it with his five fingers, crushing it into pieces and bursting into a ring of electric light with a pale golden shockwave.

"Mechanical's last career stage, the power is truly peculiar..."

Han Xiao muttered to himself in a low voice.

This day, he was mainly experimenting with the new abilities brought about by the transfer, and by now he had almost figured it all out, secretly staggering.

The [Transcendent Artifact] was a core specialty, just like the advanced version of the [Spiritual Artifact], with a greatly increased success rate of developing and creating golden drawings, plus a faint chance of creating a cosmic wonder level product.

Most importantly, this specialty unlocked a higher special quality level, the red "Artifact Level". However, this is not created, but rather a special enhancement based on the original machine, greatly enhancing the effect, and there is a limit to the number of items, only a maximum of three "artifacts" can be enhanced.

This is the first time I've been able to get my hands on a new one, and I'm not going to be able to do it again.

The [Foundation of Prana - Ten Thousand Machines] is also a Core Expertise, and is similar to Sorokin's original [Foundation of Soul Prana]. And the effect of this skill was that the base unit of one's own qi production was no longer limited to cells, mechanical and virtual data could also produce qi.

If Han Xiao transformed himself into a mechanical body, virtual life, or underwent colonization, there would be no difference between the original and the original, and his strength would not be affected - meaning that he could already exist apart from his physical body at will.

In this regard, Hebron's fusion of flesh and machinery was only an incomplete version of this ability, with [Qi Foundation - God of Ten Thousand Machines] being the final form.

In addition, this specialty also brought a high amount of mechanical affinity additions, which was amazing.

The [Information Only - Concept Eternal Life], however, was not an ability brought about by the transfer, but a specialty that had reached the X-rank, and as Han Xiao had guessed, entering the new rank, one's information state form of existence also underwent a drastic change, possessing the power to automatically revive.

Whether it is a life form or cyber data, as long as there are still information carriers throughout the universe recording their own deeds, as long as he has not been forgotten by everyone, as long as there are still people reciting his name, he will not die completely.

If he dies, there is no need for the sanctuary to be revived, and he will spontaneously cause an information state perturbation and be reborn in a region of the universe that is close to eternal immortality.

The main point was that the rebirth brought about by this expertise would not compromise the integrity of its own information, meaning that unlike Sanctuary Resurrection, it became weaker each time it was revived.

The only question that confused Han Xiao was that the sanctuary was also an information carrier, so if [Information Only - Concept of Eternal Life] was applicable to all situations, could it be used to survive iterations?

I don't know if there were any supernatural existences in the previous iteration, but if this conjecture was valid, wouldn't those supernatural existences have remained, so there should be a greater impact on the current universe.

"It would be good if we could test it."

Han Xiao shook his head.

He felt that the Sanctuary of "jumping out of the three worlds and not in the five elements" was probably not among the information carriers that allowed [Information Only - Concept Forever] to take effect, and the scope of this expertise taking effect should only be limited to the current universe and the secondary dimensional world.

The scope of this expertise should be limited to this universe and the sub-dimensional worlds. However, it's still strong enough that, just like the notes on the attribute panel say, "Everything in the world is one with me, and information state is the source of existence.

All three specialties were of great use, and several skills were just as extraordinary, among them, [Mechanical Spirit - Supreme Heaven] was an advanced version of the Mechanical Spirit... no, rather than advanced, it was better to say that the original Mechanical Spirit was just the pre-basic form of this skill.

The Mechanical Spirit could change its structure on its own, as well as the concept of drawing templates, and some specific forms of the Mechanical Spirit had additional additions to their basic performance.

The [Mechanical Spirit - Supreme Celestial] is one of the final forms of the Mechanical Spirit, and its power is much higher than the "Advanced Mechanical Spirit" created by Han Xiao himself, so it's not at the same level at all.

The skill introduction showed that the three mechanical branches, the skills obtained at this step were all different, [Mechanical God Spirit - Supreme Celestial] belonged to the virtual branch, while the armed branch and energy branch were [Mechanical God Spirit - Emperor of the Universe] and [Mechanical God Spirit - God of Origin] respectively, corresponding to different final forms, which sounded fierce.

And more than that, through the Core Expertise [Foundation of Air Power - God of Ten Thousand Machines], he discovered that when incarnating as a mechanical deity, he no longer needed his physical body as the core of providing armaments, and could directly turn his body into his own!

Meaning that one's self truly becomes a Mechanical Spirit, not even consumed, and even if one doesn't have the means to quickly return to blue, one can remain a Mechanical Spirit almost indefinitely and live in that form!

In addition, both [Life Transformation-Virtual] and [Life Transformation-Man Machine] have similar effects, both of these abilities can change their own life forms and are blessed by [Qi Foundation-Man Machine God], so the flesh is no longer a cage.

As long as the decision is made successfully, the target can be transformed into a virtual data or mechanical body in no time, changing the opponent's form of existence, which can turn an entire planet of people into mechanical bodies or virtual beings, almost approaching the power of "God".

According to the skill description, this ability is similar to the World Tree's Virtual Reality Transformation ability, which can transform things created in the virtual world into physical objects, just like a real creator god.

However, the reason why this ability has a "pseudo" suffix is that there are many limitations. Firstly, you can't transform items that don't exist in reality, that you don't know, or that are against the rules.

Secondly, the transformation needs to consume the same amount of resources, such as in the virtual world to copy and paste out a mechanical army of data, you need to prepare the appropriate materials, and then this skill a transformation, you can directly skip the manufacturing process, very suitable for the storm troopers.

The same in the manufacture of very useful, and even their own understanding of the universe's treasures, can also use this approach to mass production, finished rate of basically 100 percent.

But the third limitation is the biggest problem, that is, the transformation is temporary, and when the time comes, it will disintegrate on its own, unable to survive long term.

"This ability is considered a cosmic wonder in the eyes of the general public, it is said to be a virtual technology, but it should be an information state aspect, it needs a bit more research..."

Han Xiao exhaled a sigh of relief.

The [Virtual Creation (Pseudo)] was amazing, but because these limitations existed, it seemed almost meaningful to say that it was useful, but it was somewhat useful to say that it was useless, but it was also able to temporarily explode soldiers through the [Divine Body Fortress], but it was still a lot less than the real cosmic wonders like the World Tree.

"However, this ability is quite similar to the World Tree, could there be some kind of connection..."

Han Xiao's gaze flickered, and if he thought about it, he had a bold idea .

Perhaps if the World Tree ate him, it could make up for its own flaws, and conversely, if he plucked the World Tree, he might also be able to make up for this ability and remove the skill suffix....
