Chapter 1076: Chapter 542: Scanning the Battleship, Faces Reappear! (Part 2)

But, I wonder, after several hundred years in the Real Universe, what will happen, and whether Qi Chen has unknowingly died completely due to some mishap.

Or perhaps the Azure Universe has been revived, and if Su Yu wants to return for revenge, it would be somewhat troublesome.

Yet Su Yu doubted, does time really have any meaning here?

Are the hundreds of years here truly in sync with the time in the Real Universe?

"An independent universe should logically have independent timelines, without interference, as is the case with the Little Universe. This Warship Universe should be the same."

Su Yu thought to himself.

According to his hypothesis, hundreds of years might be consumed here, while not even a fraction of a second would pass in the Real Universe.

Because between them, time and space are independent and not synchronized.

Previously, Su Yu had experienced something similar. After being sent into the Dark Space-Time by the Ghost Emperor, he returned through the ability of the Time Mechanic and fell into a Mysterious Land where time and space did not exist.

In that Mysterious Land, Su Yu’s consciousness entered the Thought Space.

And the time in the Thought Space was just an illusion; no matter how much time passed, it was merely a moment in reality.

Now, it is somewhat similar to the Thought Space of the past, but even more extreme.

In the Thought Space, if Su Yu’s thoughts were overly consumed, it would collapse, akin to having a time limit.

But here, it is truly outside the universe, with independent time and space.

Here, it wouldn’t matter if it were hundreds or millions of years; one could wait it out.

No wonder Holographic Perception can’t calculate the exact time.

After all, the Star Tower calculates time based on the Real Universe, and since this place has departed from the Real Universe, with an independent timeline, it’s hard to calculate.

"Then let’s wait."

Su Yu stood at the entrance of the warship’s cabin, quietly waiting.

This waiting lasted over three hundred years.

Meanwhile, he also cautiously guarded against the appearance of those deceptive onboard faces.

However, those deceptive onboard faces have not reappeared.

After three hundred seventy-eight years, the implantation of the Star Tower signal was almost completed, and the entire warship’s holographic map was basically fully revealed before Su Yu.

It is estimated that in a few more decades, he would be able to completely scan the entire ship.

Even after scanning so extensively, Su Yu still couldn’t understand the details of this warship.

Nor did he see any living beings.

Then, the ever-still Su Yu suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

Because just now, the Star Tower signal scanned something very crucial.

It was... the Star Tower Terminal!

[Warning! Star Tower Terminal detected!]

[According to safety protocols, the current mission has been terminated!]

"It’s actually another Star Tower Terminal..."

Looking at the Star Tower map, Su Yu saw a red-marked object displayed.

This object was not inside the warship but hidden in a separate small space akin to a Manifestation Space, hence only now being discovered.

It seemed to be an intelligent host, possibly the core control of this warship.

This was something Su Yu had been searching for because there must be crucial data within that could reveal the secrets of the warship.

Finally found it, but the host turned out to be a Star Tower Terminal, preventing Su Yu from completing the scan because it violated the Star Tower’s safety protocol.

This did not surprise Su Yu; the Star Tower was an Imperial creation and finding a Star Tower Terminal on this warship is not unexpected.

"Looks like I can only go in person. But perhaps this is not a bad thing, and the Holographic Perception can be upgraded again..."

Su Yu realized he couldn’t rely on the Star Tower signal.

To obtain the data, he could only personally visit the host to collect it.

If all went smoothly, not only could he acquire the secret data of this warship, but he could also absorb that Star Tower Terminal, thereby upgrading Holographic Perception again.

Holographic Perception has the ability to absorb a Star Tower Terminal for upgrades, but Su Yu hadn’t encountered any other Star Tower Terminals before. Now he finally met his second one.

"Better to wait until everything else is scanned before absorbing that host..."

Su Yu remained motionless, allowing Holographic Perception to restart the mission, bypass the Star Tower Terminal, and scan all other places first.

This was also a precaution.

This waiting took another twenty-plus years.

Then, the entire warship suddenly changed, with lights flickering, dimming and brightening unstably.

When the lights dimmed, Su Yu vaguely saw mysterious faces in the darkness, layered and numerous.

"Finally losing patience?"

Su Yu startled internally; those mysterious faces had disappeared for so long and finally reappeared.

And surprisingly there were so many!

At the moment Su Yu saw those faces, an intense fear surged within him again. Su Yu was not cowardly, but this fear did not originate from Su Yu’s own heart; it was involuntarily invoked by those faces.

Last time, just one face made Su Yu flee in fear through the Nihility until he reached the side of this warship. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This time, so many faces brought such intense fear that it surpassed anything Su Yu had imagined; he had never experienced such overwhelming fear.

"So terrifying, I can’t, I have to escape..."

Driven by this intense fear, Su Yu instinctively wanted to flee.

However, when he looked back, as the lights flickered, beyond the cabin door were layers upon layers of bizarre faces, blocking the way.

Not only that, but those faces were also slowly approaching, surrounding Su Yu entirely.

Yet, though these faces were surrounding him tightly, they left Su Yu a path, leading in the direction of the Star Tower Terminal host!

Driven by fear, Su Yu immediately wanted to take this escape route, heading in the direction of the host.

"I see, waiting for me here..."

"That Star Tower Terminal host has issues!"

Su Yu realized that these faces were trying to force him closer to that host.

Su Yu did not allow these faces to have their way.

He resisted the fear, letting the faces approach, without taking any action.

Su Yu had already used the Power of Nihility to forcefully suppress the fear in his heart.

But the effect was not very good.

The fear was so intense that even the Power of Nihility couldn’t suppress it, and as time went on, Su Yu was soaked in that fear, his body trembling.

But he still took no action, coldly watching those faces continue to approach.

As the faces drew closer, the lights flickered faster and the darkness lasted longer.

Eventually, the lights almost went completely black, only occasionally flickering to bring a moment of light.

Finally, those faces reached right in front of Su Yu, their dead, vacant eyes staring intently at him.

Boom!

Su Yu felt an explosive burst of fear in his heart, a thousand times more intense.

Under this unparalleled fear, Su Yu even saw terrifying hallucinations, his whole body trembling non-stop, his face showing a fragile expression, like a terrified ordinary person.

Yet, despite such fear, he still did not move a step, firmly pinning himself in place with strong willpower, facing those strange faces.

Strangely, those faces, upon reaching Su Yu, did not continue to approach but hovered around him.

None of them truly touched Su Yu, all maintaining a distance of about one person from him.

"As... as expected..."

Su Yu, although trembling all over, showed a smile.

He suddenly raised his hand, slightly lifting the Causality Generator in his hand.

Those faces didn’t seem to change, but Su Yu keenly noticed they withdrew a little bit.

Just a little, perhaps only a few atomic distances.

But Su Yu confirmed, they really did retreat!

"You’re afraid of it? Afraid of causality?"

Su Yu abruptly spoke up.

Those faces did not respond.

Su Yu continued:

"You move extremely fast, clearly you could instantly approach me, but you chose this slow and deliberate approach."

"Is it really just to scare me?"

"No! It’s because you fear the Causality Generator in my hand! You don’t dare to really come close!"
