Chapter 702 387: The Tip of the Iceberg of the Mysterious Faction (2)

It is known that, in the current Association, the development speed of the Extraordinary Path is actually much faster than that of the technological path.

Even some seemingly powerful technologies are actually combinations of the technological path and the Extraordinary Path.

Purely technological advancements, let alone at this level, are extremely rare even when they can rival Saints.

"So, are you saying you can see that the opponent's material technology is very strong?" Shen Yu asked thoughtfully.

"It might have already reached the Thirteenth Tier." Intersellar World Shen Yu was also extremely astonished. "At least, with our power alone, we wouldn't be able to crush this device."

Everyone understood what Intersellar World Shen Yu was saying.

Whether it can be destroyed is indeed a quick judgment criterion.

"President." Intersellar World Shen Yu suddenly used a formal title to address Main Body Shen Yu, "I am applying for a research fund to see if we can delve deeper into this device. Perhaps we can discover an entirely new path!"

It's no wonder that Intersellar World Shen Yu has this idea.

As the main supporter of the technological path within the Association, Intersellar World Shen Yu is actually quite troubled by the stagnation of technological development.

After all, pure Extraordinary Power sometimes heavily relies on the world.

In some worlds, it often faces great restrictions or even loses effectiveness.

In contrast, technology can be applied to almost all worlds and is crucial for exploring the All Heavens World.

And at the micro-technical level, from the Interstellar Civilization to the Quantum Domain, it can be considered to have reached its peak.

But right now, this item itself represents a correct path!

If research could be conducted, only a relatively small amount of Gray Mist would result in significant gains!

It's definitely worth it.

With only a brief contemplation, Shen Yu agreed straight away.

"Researching the technology is one aspect; understanding the enemy's methods is another," Shen Yu said to the other Shens, slightly intensifying his tone. "I have a strong premonition that this mysterious force will be a major enemy for us. Everyone must not become complacent due to rapid development."

All the Shens nodded in agreement.

Since the preliminary end of the war with the Great Wind Empire, the Association's development has indeed been rapid.

Especially after addressing the issue of Gray Mist acquisition not keeping up with development, adding a formidable engine to the Association's growth.

In such circumstances, many Shens were in a position of enjoyment.

Even, as power grew, feeling a sense of aimless waiting armed with swords.

But Shen Yu's words were undoubtedly a reminder that crises within the All Heavens remain, ones wholly resistant to their current form.

And these crises might descend at any moment.

Therefore, all the Shens decided to fully grasp development, fully explore the All Heavens World, and make the Association stronger once they returned.

The longevity of immortality must come with eternal safety.

Thus, after the meeting, Main Body Shen Yu not only allocated a large sum of Gray Mist to Intersellar World Shen Yu but also ordered other Shens, including himself, to unconditionally cooperate with Intersellar World Shen Yu's research.

Striving to deliver results in a short amount of time.

And Intersellar World Shen Yu indeed did not disappoint.

In merely several hundred years, he came up with a major result.

"This item is a mass-producible single-soldier weapon!"

When Intersellar World Shen Yu brought this conclusion to Shen Yu, even Shen Yu found it a little unbelievable.

"Single-soldier weapon, are you sure?" Shen Yu looked at Intersellar World Shen Yu with curiosity, probing further, "What tier of single-soldier weapon?"

"It is very likely... mortals." Intersellar World Shen Yu expressed with a hint of disbelief.

Mortals!

At this moment, Shen Yu also felt unsettled.

"This item is supposed to be the Great Wind Emperor's trump card!" Shen Yu stated solemnly, staring hard at Intersellar World Shen Yu, "That is a powerhouse at the Twelfth Realm Late Stage, a myth among myths! The gap between such a powerhouse and a mortal is enormous. Even comparing them side by side is inconceivable. Yet now you say that this weapon, seen as a trump card by such an entity, is actually prepared for mortals?"

It's indeed terrifying.

"I too couldn't believe it at first," said Intersellar World Shen Yu, taking a deep breath and explaining his reasoning, "But after completely deconstructing this equipment, its functionality is simple: upon activation, it covers the user in a mysterious 'membrane,' turning the user into an Extraordinary Laws black hole. In other words, all Extraordinary Powers, in front of the user, are nullified! Simultaneously, it creates a robust defense capability to ensure the user's life safety, as well as speed and strength, equipped with a perception system... This series of designs undoubtedly indicates this was meant for mortals. If paired with powerful offensive weapons, mortals could even use it to kill Saints!"

Intersellar World Shen Yu presented all the tests he performed.

He indeed disassembled the equipment extensively.

Although many elements remain unclear, the primary function and design are fully understood.

This series of outcomes validates Intersellar World Shen Yu's words.

No matter how astonishing, this is the truth.

"It seems this mysterious force is indeed quite unique." Shen Yu pondered frantically, attempting to outline the mysterious force's entire framework from this tip of the iceberg.

However, it was evident that he failed.

After all, the other party could roam freely in the All Heavens, which means they'll encounter Extraordinary Laws.

In worlds with Extraordinary Laws, developing such technology is exceedingly difficult.

As for initially developing in a world without Extraordinary Laws to such a degree, it simply doesn't hold up.

Because, in a purely material world, the world's barriers are quite thin.

Normally, developing to something comparable to a Daluo Golden Immortal would suffice for a chance to transcend the world.

Moreover, the mysterious force's layer of technological research has already far exceeded the worldly layer.

If developed after world transcendence, it wouldn't be necessary to completely dismiss the Extraordinary Laws.

"I've attempted many hypotheses, but none provide a clear answer." Intersellar World Shen Yu seemed to guess what Shen Yu was pondering and spoke out, "Under these circumstances, it only indicates one thing: certain unknown truths exist that disrupt our logical hypotheses."

Indeed, it can only be this reason.

This mysterious force harbors certain unknown logics that Shen Yu is unaware of.

"We still need to be fully prepared."

Despite the insufficient information, Shen Yu is prepared to make some preparations.

He granted further funds to Intersellar World Shen Yu.

Not solely to delve deeper into researching this equipment but also to accelerate the technological path's development.

Still purely on the technological path.

Though many research conclusions may not translate into practical outcomes, given that combining Extraordinary Rules or the Extraordinary Rules and Material Rules can easily achieve more practical effects.

Nonetheless, this is a precautionary study.

Avoiding being unready for encountering the mysterious force's means.

Intersellar World Shen Yu felt immense pressure yet embraced the task.

This meeting or this research conclusion was not disclosed to all the Shens by Shen Yu.

Even if other Shens knew, they couldn't take any definite action. On the contrary, if the news spread, it might unnecessarily incite panic or even create internal conflicts.

Overall, full-speed ahead with development.

Shen Yu looked back upon the six-thousand-year development of the Association, reflecting on the past, and his resolve increased further.
