Royal Mechanical University.
Walking about the campus, Su Lu felt the infusion of the Spirit World’s strength, filling up the Phantom Mecha with energy every moment of every day.
“Even an Ace Mecha Master may be targeted for assassination once they step out of their Mecha… But I don’t have that kind of weakness. With a single thought, the Mecha attaches itself to me.”
“And, it automatically draws energy from the Spirit World, there’s no possibility of a shortfall…”
“It’s a pity… I’m still missing the last step.”
Su Lu arrived at a garden and saw James and Sha Lina.
“Not an Ace… ” James stared at Su Lu and suddenly spoke: “But you control a sixth-level machine? How did you do it?”
“Using Super Sense to perfectly control the Mecha… Your theory worked.” Su Lu nodded in response.
“It worked?!”
James had an odd expression on his face, besides joy; he felt like he had become a mere accessory.How did the research succeed before I even put in the effort, and with such significant results?
“Younger apprentice brother… Sigh…. I really don’t know what to say to you now…” Sha Lina sighed even more.
an Ace level Mech Master!
Even the Natural Society needed to tread carefully around such a person, or rather… the Natural Society itself did not possess such national defense power, otherwise it would have already replaced covert operations with overt ones.
After all, crafting a sixth-level mech required an immense amount of resources that were horrifyingly large.
Su Lu only narrowly succeeded by exploiting loopholes and using non-traditional Mech materials for the Phantom Mecha and a stroke of luck from the kingdom.
Of course, even without an Ace Mecha Master, the Natural Society had enough Extraordinary Strength to make these people wary, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.
“Princess Elizabeth wants to meet you, so does the next person…”
She looked at Su Lu, her expression complex.
‘Is this the olive branch being extended by the Moderation Faction?’
‘If I’m interested, marrying a princess or even Sha Lina… might just be possible.’
Su Lu laughed inwardly, fully aware of his worth at that moment.
However, he had no intention of doing so, and said directly: “Is it about discussing the Blood Wing and Beast Tide? As a human… naturally, I can’t shirk my duties.”
“…”
Sha Lina became quiet, breathing a sigh of relief internally but also feeling a bit sour.
She couldn’t say why she felt this way, all she knew was that her emotions were complicated.
“However, before I go to the front line, I must return to Baixi.”
Su Lu continued speaking to Sha Lina.
“Baixi?”
Sha Lina knew that was Morphy’s hometown. She became somewhat understanding and somewhat confused.
“Yes, some things inevitably need to be settled.”
Su Lu grinned.
Morphy had three major obsessions. The first was his vengeance, which had been avenged. The second was to take care of his sister, which was almost done. The third was about the disappearance of his parents. ṚÂɴO͍ꞖЁS̈
Now that Su Lu had a base of his own in the Extraordinary, as long as he went back and investigated the Spirit World, he would come to a conclusion.
‘If these things aren’t taken care of, my advancement to Fifth Level might be affected…’
‘And, there’s also…’
His gaze was far-reaching, seemingly seeing everything in his mind.
…
Several days later.
Baixi, outskirts.
A massive airship descended from the sky, featuring the emblem of the royal family.
‘If it were an ordinary person, they would only be able to take the train. Is this considered an abuse of power on my part?’
Su Lu calmly descended from the airship, followed by a blond, elegant lady; the Princess of the Kinsley Kingdom, Elizabeth.
Back then, he casually mentioned his intention to return home, and the princess came immediately, offering him a ride.
Su Lu wasn’t in a rush, so he went along with it.
“Thank you, Princess…”
He bowed to Elizabeth in acknowledgment.
“Master Morphy, you’re willing to go to the front lines and fight for humanity. Me offering to give you lift hardly counts for anything.”
Elizabeth responded with a gentle smile, “Before we left… my father gave me orders. No matter what you need Master, we will do everything in our power to fulfill it.”
Her eyes were clear and inviting, as if silently beseeching him.
“Really? That’s great… I do have one task.”
Su Lu tapped his forehead, “I enjoy collecting jewelry… there’s a necklace in the Baixi District that I’m quite interested in. Could I trouble you to retrieve it for me?”
“A… necklace?”
Upon hearing this wholly unexpected request, Elizabeth’s mouth gaped slightly, looking adorably dazed and confused.
“Yes… it’s the Misfortune Pendant, named Starry Love, worn by Sumerian last empress!”
Su Lu’s lips were curled up into a mysterious smirk.
“Absolutely!”
While the necklace was quite pricey, it was merely a luxury and pleasure item. It did not contribute at all to the national power. Elizabeth agreed without hesitation.
“As a matter of fact… I’m also quite interested in the Star Sky Crystal material. You may want to keep an eye out for it.”
Su Lu stated.
“So that’s what it is…”
Elizabeth suddenly understood.
Why would such a great mech engineer enjoy necklaces? Turns out, he was interested in the Star Sky Crystal.
Regarding this hardest substance in the Material Realm, yet unworkable, any mech engineer would have eyed it, though all attempts have returned unfruitful.
Considering this, she couldn’t help but say: “But even the Sumerian Empire was unable to utilize this material. Even ‘Starry Love’ is not carved or pierced. It’s a necklace glued to the surface of the raw ore…”
“I know, I just want to give it a try.”
Sulu silently rolled his eyes.
What if it was revealed that these crystals contained White Spaces where the immensely powerful Star Devourer Clan resided? Wouldn’t that scare you to death?
“I’m really looking forward to the new developments that Master will bring.”
Elizabeth’s eyes blinked in admiring anticipation, a sight bound to move any man’s heart.
“Oh? Aren’t you leaving, Princess?”
Su Lu was taken aback.
“Of course not. It’s rare for me to visit a master’s hometown after all. Surely, Master, you’re not trying to dismiss me?”
Elizabeth smiled coyly.
…
Black Iron Street No. 69.
“Finally… I’m back.”
Su Lu stood in front of the small wooden house, filled with a myriad of emotions.
In his hand, he held a necklace, it was the Starry Love! The power of Princess Elizabeth was formidable. He asked her for it, and she procured it on the way back.
“This is indeed the biggest White Space where the Star Devourer Clan lives…”
Su Lu ruminated.
Building the Phantom Mecha is bound to trigger the Star Devourer Clan’s sensitivity, so it’s better to strike first!
To control the Star Sky Crystal means to control the primary residence of the Star Devourer Clan, holding their life source.
Of course, with the current technology of humans, they can’t control the Star Sky Crystal.
However, that’s not the case with Su Lu around.
He was from the Star Devourer Clan initially after all? He is very familiar with the technology and some classified information, making him an ‘alien spy’ undoubtedly.
‘After all, I’m a human now; I should naturally choose the human side.’
Su Lu thought to himself. He didn’t hesitate at all about his choice.
