Chapter 1338 - The Husky’s Made It (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a simple arrangement, the 21 wardens led by the Lord of Lords, Loken, became guests of planet Tannagost. Parked in the gravitational field of the Crapple Research Station, CARS, Asurmen became a temporary satellite station.
As the sentinels created by the goddess of creation to guard the prison, the wardens did not have any demands for their living environment. They liked Tannagost instantly and were curious about Zorm after looking around the ecological restoration area. It was still a reflection of the previous period when they were isolated in Collow. During which, the goddess of creation had not created the First Borns or sown any life. She had spent almost all of her energy in the war with the Mad Lord.
After all, even if the wardens knew what happened on the outside through different channels, seeing was believing.
Zorm was happy to have new friends. His lively character naturally made him enjoy meeting friends.
After a long period of dormancy and 10,000 years of overloading its system while acting as the regulator of the old world, Asurmen had suffered many damages and hidden glitches. These problems had manifested in Asurmen, the ‘main brain’ of the spaceship. The spaceship needed some serious fixes.
Hao Ren had directed CARS to analyze the structure and working principle of Asurmen, as well as prepare to carry out a major overhaul. The works would take a long time. But that meant Hao Ren could take this opportunity to complete the other tasks.
“My drone clusters are exploring the deep space.” After informing Asurmen about the overhaul plan, Hao Ren told of his other plans. “The calculation of the drone consciousness indicates that an expedition team is moving toward the Dark Abyss.”
“Stop going further!” Asurmen warned. “You are not ready yet. Before cracking the divine barrier and knowing the inside condition of the prison, any contact with the power of the Mad Lord may give it the opportunity to find a springboard of escape.”
“I think it’s not easy for a god-like creature to compromise the highly-secured network of the drone clusters. But I will keep your warning in mind,” Hao Ren said. “I have ordered the drone cluster to adjust their mission accordingly. They will fly forward for a while before they stop and build a base in situ for a large antenna. You may be able to contact the sentinels in the dark abyss using that antenna.”
The Denizens of the Stars had some inborn ability to communicate among themselves. But the Abyssal Dungeon that held the Mad Lord could interfere with this ability. Since the fall of the goddess of creation, some unknown changes had happened in the prison, and the wardens lost contact with the outside world. Even those Denizens of the Stars that lived in the graveyard of the stars had been unable to contact their peers in the dungeon, let alone Asurmen, who was cut off from the rest of the world in Collow.
To investigate the situation of the prison, Hao Ren had two plans. One solution was for Asurmen to find a way to contact the Denizens of the Stars scattered around the universe and get information about the changes that happened in the past 10,000 years in the prison from them. Another option was to have the drone cluster coming as close as possible to the barrier of the prison, and ‘shouting out loud’ at the wardens on the other side using the high-powered antenna. The second option was temporarily named Shouting Out Loud Communication.
But Asurmen was concerned. “As much as I hope to contact my people, it is disturbing to beam signal directly into the dark abyss. The Mad Lord could almost make use of every possible channel to infest the outside world, especially through the transmission of information and thoughts. Are you sure your antenna system is fail-safe and will not become a springboard for the Mad Master to escape?”
Hao Ren looked at the hologram and smiled.
It was the will hub of Asurmen. In this chamber, besides showing the various system parameters and readings of the spacecraft, the hologram also displayed the visual of the scene of space on the outside. Tannagost’s pale-golden and blue-green arc was in the darkness. Above the atmosphere, the CARS was floating in space. When sunlight shone on the side of the CARS, it produced a bright glare.
“The drones did not make the antenna system. The antenna was a backup system removed from the CARS.”
“What is so special about it?” Asurmen was puzzled.
“You just need to know that it is highly secure.” Hao Ren said confidently. “My boss made it.”
“Your boss?” At first, Asurmen had no idea what Hao Ren meant. But it quickly realized. “Ahh, all right. I get it. The foreign god. Then I’m not worried anymore.”
“Communication with the Abyssal Dungeon is guaranteed secure. The only thing we need to worry about is whether the situation in prison has been out of control.” Hao Ren said. “Well, it is better to leave it to the drone cluster for now. I now hope that you can contact your people through other channels as soon as possible. I believe that there must be other Denizens of the Stars living in seclusion in the deep universe. I have found several ‘doomsday civilizations’ that have had contact with them. The First Borns have destroyed their efforts of saving the world, but they have no problem in protecting themselves.”
