Chapter 529: Cosmic Cemetery
On the other side, following the prompt of the third skill on the panel, Zheng Shu quickly got rid of the tracking sight of this planet and left here through space jump.
After briefly jumping into the vacuum of the universe, Zheng Shu used his biological clock to calculate the time and shook his head.
"It has been five hours since the command node's base exploded. Most of the people who needed to evacuate should have already evacuated. Although I haven't completed the route indicated by the magic conch, it is obvious that the remaining location is different from the coordinates I obtained before. There is no need to continue chasing it."
Feeling the prompts changing all the time in his mind, Zheng Shu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Although I have always joked that the third skill on the panel is a magic conch, in fact, this thing is indeed omniscient in a sense.
As long as you set a goal and this goal has the possibility of success, then this skill can provide you with a "path" to success.
As long as Zheng Shu strictly follows this path, he will eventually achieve his goal.
Even if something unexpected happens in the middle that causes the "road" to change, the prompts provided by the third skill on the panel will change at the first time.
From the perspective of usability, the effect of the third skill on the panel far exceeds that of the first and second skills.
However, Zheng Shu's development effort for the third skill was exactly the opposite. Not to mention compared with the first skill that he had already used to its full potential, even the second skill that he rarely used, Zheng Shu's development effort on it was much higher than that on the third skill.
In fact, the reason why Zheng Shu did this is exactly the same as the reason why he would not use extreme means to obtain the impact factor.
Simply put, it is to maintain "self".
The lower limit of human beings is inherently fragile. Once it is not grasped, the possibility of breaking the lower limit again will greatly increase.
Therefore, Zheng Shu will strictly limit his bottom line and will not use overly extreme means for the sake of profit.
For example, in order to influence the factor, they might directly kill the protagonist in the original work, or simply destroy the entire world.
Such persistence may seem quite ridiculous in the eyes of some selfish people, but it can indeed prevent Zheng Shu from losing his humanity after endless time and becoming a machine that only acts to obtain impact factors.
The same applies to Zheng Shu strictly restricting himself from using the third skill.
If Zheng Shu uses the third skill on the panel without restraint, as long as he sets a big enough goal and strictly follows the prompts of the third skill, then he can have a sufficiently "perfect" life.
The human will itself is inert, but this spiritual defect proves the existence of human beings.
If Zheng Shu really used his third skill in this way in a certain world, he would involuntarily use the same method to overcome setbacks the next time.
As his will was broken time and time again and this behavior became more and more proficient, Zheng Shu was not sure whether he could still be considered himself at that time.
Although the third skill on the panel will definitely make Zheng Shu a perfect existence, but at the same time, it is just a perfect existence, not "Zheng Shu".
So after obtaining the third skill on the panel, Zheng Shu used it quite restrainedly.
Especially when his mental distortion had not been overcome, even though Zheng Shu suffered greatly from it, he still never thought of using the third skill on the panel to find a way to solve the mental distortion.
Later, after nearly a thousand years of training in Heaven, his state of mind had been greatly improved, and after getting rid of the influence of mental distortion, Zheng Shu slightly lifted the restrictions on the use of the third skill on the panel.
But we only treat it as a useful tool, but not follow it completely. We can use it as a reference, but not follow it completely.
Just like now, if Zheng Shu follows the instructions of the third skill on the panel and goes to hunt down more enemies that I have already escaped, then his plan will definitely become more perfect.
However, after the instructions provided by the third skill on the panel conflicted with his original expectations, Zheng Shu stopped without hesitation.
Even though such behavior might cause the organization to be alarmed and hide deeper, resulting in the failure of his plan, Zheng Shu still did it without hesitation.
For Zheng Shu, he has almost endless time in this world. If he fails once, he can try again a second time. With the protection of God's Armor, he is not worried about being hurt by the opponent's counterattack.
Since your safety is guaranteed, you don't need to worry about failure, and naturally you don't need to rely too much on the third skill. What's more, you haven't confirmed yet that your plan has really failed.
Sitting cross-legged in the vacuum of the universe, Zheng Shu dismissed the reminder from the magic conch and began to silently think about his next plan and action.
"Although time is tight, fortunately, most of the high-value targets in the intelligence have been solved. The remaining targets are too fragmented, and it will actually be more troublesome to deal with them carefully."
Just like what Zheng Shu had encountered on that planet before, that nutrient solution manufacturing company was indeed the property of the underground organization, but the real underground members were only a boss and three security guards.
Although the other employees were also from that company, they were not aware of the inside story. To those employees, they were just finding a social animal in the class.
So even though about two-thirds of the coordinates in the intelligence had not been attacked due to lack of time, Zheng Shu did not seem too anxious.
"Although the intelligence obtained from the command node is relatively limited, the number of targets I destroyed should have reached one-third of the organization's assets, which is enough to be considered a serious blow."
During these five hours, except for those more marginal companies, Zheng Shu destroyed about thirteen bases that occupied an entire uninhabited planet.
This number is a very painful loss not to mention for an underground organization, even for an advanced civilization.
Therefore, although Zheng Shu’s second phase plan was not fully successful, it can still be considered a “success” and there is a high probability that he can continue with the third phase plan.
"With such a huge loss, even if they wanted to hide it, they should at least make some response. We just need to wait and see the result."
Zheng Shu's eyelids drooped slightly, and he just sat cross-legged in the vacuum of the universe, entering a state of meditation, quietly waiting for things to develop.
……
……
In the vacuum of the universe, because there are no obvious external changes, time becomes quite fuzzy.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Zheng Shu, who was originally in a state of meditation, opened his eyes with a smile after feeling a slight tingling sensation in his body.
"It seems that I win this time."
Zheng Shu did not disarm the god's weapon, but closed his eyes slightly and prepared for a moment. Immediately, an extremely complex three-dimensional magic circle appeared on his open palm.
The complexity of this magic circle even exceeded the magic circle for resurrecting the gods that Medea had created for him. Changes were happening inside the magic circle every moment, and the huge number of spells was so huge that one would feel dizzy just by looking at it.
This is the most basic ability of the Armor of God that Zheng Shu obtained through his research on the Armor of God - the mysterious counter-attack technique.
Even with the help of the magic conch, it still took Zheng Shu ten years in the real world to fully study this technique. As for the time spent in heaven, it was countless.
After successfully researching the mysterious counter-measure, Zheng Shu would be able to quickly gain the same resistance in other worlds in the future, even without recasting the Armor of God.
However, for Zheng Shu, the biggest benefit of studying this technique is not limited to this. In addition to this, because he has fully understood the principles and processes of the God's Armor, Zheng Shu can make his response more "flexible" when facing attacks from some "flashy" humans.
For example... like this now.
Zheng Shu stretched out his hand and slightly adjusted the magic circle in his hand. The slight tingling sensation that had originally come from his body immediately disappeared, and instead, a different layer of light appeared on the magic circle in his hand.
Zheng Shu stretched out his fingers and lightly touched the light. The magic circle in his hand also operated according to his will, and soon Zheng Shu opened his eyes.
"I see. Are you planning to send me to this coordinate?"
The main effect of God's Armor is to give up all physical and magical defenses at the cost of immunity to special attacks including laws, powers, causality, time, etc.
When encountering these "fancy" attacks, the God's Armor will decompose these forces and transform them into pure physical or magical shocks to directly attack Zheng Shu.
The Nemean Lion enhanced template enhanced by Zheng Shu is best at defending against physical and magical attacks. After all, this is the ultimate defense that even Hercules is powerless against and can only kill him with his own claws.
Even in other trials after Hercules, the cloak made of lion skin helped him block countless attacks and never showed any damage.
For Zheng Shu, the existence of God's Armor can make up for his shortcomings and bring out his strengths.
Now, after analyzing the mysterious counter-measures on the God's Arms, Zheng Shu's choices have become more diverse.
Not only can you be immune to the damage of these fancy skills, but you can also obtain information about these attacks to a certain extent.
Just like now, Zheng Shu achieved his opponent's goal by analyzing the force of causality that was trying to influence him.
After obtaining the specific coordinates, Zheng Shu immediately opened the map and started searching quickly.
"This location? It's really remote. It should be at the edge of the Interstellar Union's ruling area."
Looking at the coordinates of the location at the edge of the Milky Way, Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows.
"The nearest star is one light-year away. It seems that they want to restrain the ability to use the power of stars that I showed before. The patrol team of the Interstellar Alliance usually does not go to such a remote place. It is indeed a good place to kill and rob. But... why do I feel that this place seems a little familiar?"
Zheng Shu slightly adjusted the map in front of him and input some of his calculations. Soon, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"So it's here. That's right, I should have thought of it earlier. This is indeed a very suitable ambush location."
Zheng Shu knew without thinking that after suffering such a great blow, this underground organization was still secretly using the law of cause and effect to influence him to go to a specific location. The purpose certainly could not be to have tea with him.
Judging from the combat effectiveness that Zheng Shu had demonstrated before, this underground organization must have mobilized most of its combat power to deal with him.
No matter what kind of organization it is, the basic logic of its internal structure is basically the same. With so many combat forces gathered together, it would be ridiculous to say that the person commanding them on the spot is just a middle-level leader of an underground organization.
Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what, there must be a senior official on the scene to command, and it is even possible that this senior official of the underground organization is also one of the main fighting forces.
As long as we capture the senior leaders of the underground organization, the rest will be easy.
Zheng Shu went over all the possible situations in his mind, then stretched his body and stretched.
"Well... next, there is a tough battle to fight!"
Since the other party is an underground organization, they most likely won't have things like star destroyers, so even if the fight is difficult, it is within Zheng Shu's ability to handle.
And even if an accident really happens, he can fight back with the guarantee of his panel.
Because the distance this time was relatively far, Zheng Shu was unable to use space jumps as quickly as he had in the previous times. He could only construct a teleportation array in the vacuum of the universe to assist himself in making long-distance space jumps.
……
……
In the silent vacuum of the universe, space suddenly distorted on a large scale. Along with high-intensity energy release, Zheng Shu's figure appeared here.
"It looks like this place hasn't changed at all."
Looking at the large amount of mechanical wreckage in front of him and the metal planet in the distance that was made up entirely of mechanical wreckage, Zheng Shu opened his mouth and smiled silently.
This is the cosmic cemetery that Zheng Shu had visited before. Zheng Shu was in a hurry at the time and did not explore it properly. Unexpectedly, he would return here again this time.
But if you think about it carefully, this place has neither any stars to provide him with energy sources, nor a large amount of space turbulence interference to prevent him from escaping using portable space jumps. It can really be considered a pretty good ambush location.
"Since I'm already here, it's time for you to come out!"
Zheng Shu converted his mental power into electromagnetic waves and released them indiscriminately, extending his "voice" to the entire cemetery.
