Chapter 13: Receiving Rewards, Three-Dimensional Movement!
“I, the Divine Karl… I…” The King of Devourers struggled to utter.
“The Heavens have informed me of everything. It’s such a strange rule, but since it’s like this..,” the voice of Death God Karl sounded from the void projection. But before he could finish his words, the projection disappeared.
The King of Devourers: “?!?!”
The space in front of him fluctuated. Suddenly, he saw a group of black-armored soldiers emerging, each with their heads lowered, quickly walking toward 096 in the corner.
His warship didn’t react at all.
Did these soldiers just march right in?
These are helicopter-era soldiers who don’t even have space combat armor. How did they get here?!
“The Foundation?” The King of Devourers was astounded.
Even his warship did not react whatsoever.
Are these… soldiers from the helicopter era?! They don’t even have space combat armor, so… how did they get here?!
“Inspection complete. Area information was cleared, debris information was destroyed, and no 096’s facial image leaked. Ready for containment,” an emotionless Foundation staff member stated.
Soon, a special box was brought out right before the King of Devourers’ eyes. 096 showed no reaction as it was carried inside, and the lid was closed.
A group of soldiers hoisted the black cube-shaped container onto the shoulders of their exoskeleton armor and briskly headed toward the spatial portal.
“You…” The King of Devourers hadn’t recovered from his astonishment.
“Foundation containment team, according to Containment Act 8921, Article 14, Clause 72, for any individual who has come into contact with 096, we perform the cleansing,” a member who looked like a captain said, taking out a peculiar pill and gently squeezing it.
Boom— A dazzling white light flashed, and the King of Devourers’ mind went blank.
The entire surveillance system data within the warship was completely wiped out, leaving no trace of 096.
When the King of Devourers regained consciousness, the containment team had already disappeared from the location.
In his rage, he immediately accessed the surveillance.
To his surprise, he saw a small spaceship docking within the fleet, without triggering any alarms.
The spaceship with the Foundation emblem flickered and vanished from his field of view.
The King of Devourers stood bewildered in place: “…”
…
The Giant Gorge.
This unexpected turn of events left General Duao and General Du Qiangwei utterly bewildered.
Is it really over?!
Has that incredibly terrifying 096… been contained like this?!
What the heck?
And also, what’s the deal with these people from the Containment Association (Anti-Harmony)?
Do they possess space combat capabilities?
Does that mean…
They’re stronger than Earth, which I’ve meticulously developed for thousands of years.
Those guys are currently dealing with anomalous containment entities, but if they come after Earth, after me… what?
Countless question marks filled General Duao’s mind.
For the first time in a thousand years, he was utterly perplexed.
In a certain apartment in the Milky Way…
[Ding! Successful containment of Shy Guy (096)! Earned 1.5 million Popularity Points!].
[Reward granted! Congratulations on acquiring Researcher*1, Class-D Personnel 200, and another reward: Three-Dimensional Movement anomalous property.].
The melodic sound of the system notification resonated in Jiang Xuan’s mind.
Researchers were higher-ranking members exclusive to the Containment Association, possessing research and development capabilities. They could develop special items targeting anomalous entities within the organization. It was a decent reward.
But what truly surprised Jiang Xuan was the acquired anomalous property.
Anomalous Property: Three-Dimensional Movement
Effect: Active ability, when activated, can move to designated coordinates in three-dimensional space, consuming one’s mental power.
A very brief explanation.
“Three-Dimensional Movement, let’s test its effect!”
Jiang Xuan’s thoughts stirred.
Instantly, his figure appeared in the kitchen from the living room, and it didn’t seem to consume much mental power.
Based on his own perception, his current range of movement was approximately within a hundred kilometers. In other words, he could freely move within a hundred kilometers without causing spatial energy fluctuations.
This was not like Du Qiangwei’s micro-wormhole spatial teleportation ability. That ability involved space, and the movement became impossible once faced with the Insight Eye’s spatial blockade.
But Jiang Xuan’s ability was different. He could move there directly, anywhere, in any environment, as long as he wished.
It was like… a rule! A true rule-level ability! Of course, the range of movement would continue to increase as his own strength improved. In the future, he might even be able to traverse the span of an entire galaxy instantaneously!
“Perfect! Now, what’s next…”
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Xuan’s lips as he watched the video he had just created. The more anomalies he captured, the stronger his abilities became! Naturally, more was better!
[Do you want to popularize the new anomalous entity?].
The sound of the system prompt rang out.
[Yes].
Without any hesitation, Jiang Xuan confidently pressed the “confirm” button.
High above the Earth, a massive celestial projection screen began to fluctuate.
Accompanied by a deep, resonant voice-over, a line of text slowly emerged.
