Chapter 500: Exploration (2) (2/2)
Whatever they find here, it would surely be a great asset that we would be bringing outside the Earth.
Looking at the huge map that marked different areas of this place as well as a smaller map that depicted the places one could go without being warned or treated as an intruder, we began studying it and remembered everything. The safe places were marked with green and the others were in red or orange.
”Let's see. There should be an automaton posted here. However, because this place was considered close by the system running and monitoring the place, they were pulled back to those top-secret facilities that have their own functions.”
As I traced my fingers to it and swiped it to the left, the projected map changed and began showing another huge facility and the direction to reach it.
”This is where the World Zone Navigator should be located. The Deep Space Department. It will be filled with junk that concerns it so… we might even find a better Space Vessel than what we got from the invaders from those Invasive Worlds.” I said before magnifying the place which showed a still image of the place. It was still looking magnificent in it but the same as this place, which should be covered with moss as well.
”Uh… we're too far from it, Daisuke,” Elise commented and began pointing at the distance of the reception to the Deep Space Department that was located at the back of this Waste Disposal Site.
Reinys also commented that she felt and heard something nearby. Just beyond the door behind the reception desk and chairs for guests.
Something like a clank of metal but no fluctuations of Energy.
No doubt, what she heard was the Automatons patrolling outside this reception area. They should be at least Rank 2 Transcendent or weaker depending on the color of their metal.
Bronze Automatons were only as strong as peak Rank 1 Transcendent.
Silver Automatons were as strong as normal Rank 2 Transcendent.
Gold Automatons were as strong as peak Rank 2 Transcendent.
There were more above it but those were disabled by the World's Will to my request.
”Don't worry. Although the use of Source Energy was somewhat restricted here... You two were already strong enough to fight a Rank 3 Transcendent with 900 UPL.” Assuring them by letting them remember how they fare against Longi, the two nodded confidently and began following me to the door that would lead us to the Deep Space Department.
Shiiik!
The Doors were automatic as well so as soon as we got detected approaching it, the wide door opened from the middle revealing the spacious grounds laden with rails where carts and little trains could be seen moving about.
And around it, were Automatons of Bronze and Silver.
”Are we going to rush in and destroy all of them?” Reinys asked after seeing the density of Automatons around.
Although they could already see us, they wouldn't attack as long as we didn't leave the interior of this reception area.
”Can you act as an Automaton and mask your life force?”
”Tsk. This guy. I'm asking properly.”
”And I am answering properly. I can use the Void Concealment and take us somewhere else but… where's the fun in that?”
”Sometimes, he's really this hateful Reinys. Let's show what we can do against these lumps of metals.” Elise interjected while showing a slight indifference to her expression for my teasing of Reinys. Nonetheless, she returned back to normal as her Giant Flamebird chirped out and flew out from her shoulders while gradually enlarging itself.
