The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 1338: The Husky’s Made It

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 c.r.a.pple Research Station, CARS, Asurmen became a temporary satellite station.

As the sentinels created by the G.o.ddess 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 G.o.ddess 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 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p needed some serious fixes.

Hao Ren had directed CARS to a.n.a.lyze 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 cl.u.s.ters are exploring the deep s.p.a.ce.” 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 G.o.d-like creature to compromise the highly-secured network of the drone cl.u.s.ters. But I will keep your warning in mind,” Hao Ren said. “I have ordered the drone cl.u.s.ter 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 G.o.ddess 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 cl.u.s.ter 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 s.p.a.cecraft, the hologram also displayed the visual of the scene of s.p.a.ce on the outside. Tannagost’s pale-golden and blue-green arc was in the darkness. Above the atmosphere, the CARS was floating in s.p.a.ce. 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 G.o.d. 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 cl.u.s.ter 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.”

“Since the deicidal war 10,000 years ago, it has been tough to contact my people again.” Asurmen’s voice was still indifferent. “The divine power of the G.o.ddess of creation has weakened. It will be difficult for us to contact each other. We have been following the G.o.ddess for too long that her divine power has changed us. Her influence has been profound.”

The deicidal war had caused the Denizens of the Stars to scatter. Except that the sentinels in the Abyssal Dungeon, all Denizens of the Stars in the universe might have gone into hiding mode. Hao Ren would not expect to be able to gather them quickly. To be able to find Asurmen was already a miracle.

“Try your best,” Hao Ren said to Asurmen. “I hope more Denizens of the Stars could help.”

After explaining everything, Hao Ren returned to the lounge of the CARS where he found his tenants.

“So, Is it all over?” Vivian was the first to come up and greeted him with a smile.

“Well, I’m free for now,” Hao Ren replied. He then looked around curiously. “Where is Lily?” he asked.

Everyone was in the lounge except Lily and Lil Pea. Lil Pea would have teleported herself up to Hao Ren when she saw him.

Vivian had a subtle smile on her face. “Lily? She is having an experiment next door with Lil Pea.”

“Experiment?”

“You will know when you get there.”

Curiously, Hao Ren went to the small room. The moment Hao Ren pushed the door open, he saw Lily and Li Pea was lying their heads on the table side by side with a serious look on their faces. And there was a large pot of water placed between them.

Hao Ren had no idea what the two were doing. So he remained silent and watched from the side. Lil Pea poked her head into the basin and sipped some water and then turned her head. Ptooey~~

It was the baby fish’s signature skill—water spitting. That was what Lil Pea’s favorite game.

But what was puzzling was that Lily also took a sip of water in her mouth and then spat just like how Lil Pea did.

The husky maiden could spit a farther than Lil Pea did.

Hao Ren was dumbfounded looking from the side. He was totally clueless about what it was all about. Lily and Lil Pea took a turn to play the spitting game, and there was only half a pot of water left in the basin in just half a minute. Hao Ren looked at the other end of the room and found the floor was inundated in water.

A thought suddenly came to mind. Hao Ren now had vaguely guessed what it was all about. “Ahem, Lily. I think you’re not going to reproduce the Doggoblast by doing this. You need science to master this new skill.”

As soon as Hao Ren’s voice trailed off, Lily pouted. As she spat, water along with a burst of light came from her mouth and spurted into the air. It was the Doggoblast skill. Well, Lily would like to call it the Skyshatter Roar. The light hit and left a big black mark on the wall and triggered the alarm throughout the corridor room.

Hao Ren was stunned as he looked at Lily, whose mouth was still bursting with sparks. Really? Hao Ren thought to himself.

Sometimes, it was pointless to find logic in the husky.
