CHAPTER 576: CHAPTER 292: CITY, MACHINERY, BETRAYAL

"A city?"

Su Yu quickly focused his attention.

The scenery of the distant city enlarged in his vision.

He saw a modern city, with towering skyscrapers and bustling traffic, filled with crowds of people.

Though this city couldn’t compare to the current Mechanical City, it wasn’t far behind the Illusion City.

It seemed capable of accommodating over a million residents.

Moreover, the city was bustling, clearly not just an empty shell but truly teeming with inhabitants.

"Could this city possibly be the base of the Giant God Soldier Camp?"

"It’s not quite what I imagined..."

Su Yu mused silently.

Initially, he thought the Giant God Soldier Camp might only consist of some ruins.

Perhaps there might be remnants of Giant God Soldier Mechas that could be procured and studied for their technology.

But unexpectedly, the Giant God Soldier Camp was in such an unusual place, in a modern city, and even had many residents?

Although this city, by any measure, didn’t look like a military base.

But the final destination of the new recruit Navigation Disk’s route was here, it couldn’t be wrong.

"Really strange."

"Could those residents all be soldiers of the Giant God Soldier Camp?"

"That’s way too many, and they don’t look like warriors at all..."

Su Yu was filled with doubt.

He was about to take a closer look when he suddenly felt a jolt of danger rapidly approaching.

After experiencing the events of the timeline incident, Su Yu’s sense of premonition for danger had become much stronger; even without seeing or hearing, he still had a strong feeling in his heart.

He could even roughly gauge the degree of danger.

And now, the level of danger was... extremely high!

This indicated that if Su Yu handled it poorly, his life might be in danger!

"So fast!"

Su Yu felt the danger approaching rapidly.

Although he could evade with speeds a hundred times the speed of sound, such a move would be too noticeable.

The situation was bizarre, so he wanted to observe first and avoid causing a stir.

"It doesn’t seem to be a direct attack?"

"The speed is so fast, and it’s silent, it seems more like spiritual power rather than material energy?"

In a flash, Su Yu understood the source of the danger.

Spiritual power can be much faster than physical attacks, and it is formless and invisible.

However, above the seven-star level, spiritual power is primarily information and data; unless it pertains to a specific profession, its lethality isn’t strong and is mainly used for probing.

If this spiritual power were to detect Su Yu, a true attack might follow.

"Invisibility!"

Su Yu quickly increased the power of the Brutal Battle Armor, fully activating the invisibility feature.

Simultaneously, he activated the Power of Nihility to store the Navigation Disk within the Nihility Space.

Moments later, Su Yu sensed a strong spiritual power sweeping through the void, lingering for a moment before swiftly departing.

It seemed like a casual scan, without noticing the invisible Su Yu.

"So powerful!"

Hovering invisibly in mid-air, Su Yu’s expression was grave.

Because just now, that spiritual power was exceedingly strong.

At least... a nine-star level! Possibly even stronger! More powerful than the Demon Foe!

No wonder Su Yu felt the danger!

It seemed a nine-star level expert had noticed Su Yu’s presence and emitted spiritual power to "glance" over.

Fortunately, Su Yu was cautious, using the battle armor’s invisibility feature from the start, minimizing flight disturbances.

Just now, he fully activated the invisibility capability, even storing away the Giant God Soldier Camp’s Navigation Disk.

Thus, the complacent nine-star expert did not detect Su Yu.

Given that Su Yu instinctively sensed danger, it’s likely that this nine-star expert harbored malice.

If discovered by Su Yu, a significant battle might have been inevitable.

Fortunately, it didn’t occur.

In truth, even if a fight ensued, Su Yu wouldn’t be afraid.

But as he had just arrived, knowing nothing, blundering into a battle was something he wished to avoid.

Once a nine-star battle erupted, the city might be destroyed in an instant, and Su Yu would gain nothing.

So it’s best to stay hidden for now.

"Just arriving and encountering a nine-star expert."

"The secrets of this city are substantial."

"I’ll slip in and have a look."

Su Yu waited for a while, ensuring no spiritual power scanned the area again before cautiously flying towards the city, preparing to blend in for investigation.

Soon, Su Yu found himself in the city.

The reason it was so easy to enter was that this city surprisingly lacked the isolation walls commonly seen on the Ruins Star.

It was completely open, allowing Su Yu to casually enter.

But then again, this place, with its lush mountains and waters, seemed free from the threat of Radiation Beasts and pollution.

Without such threats, the city had no need for walls.

This left Su Yu somewhat dazed, and he couldn’t help but doubt whether he had already left Ruins Star, arriving on another planet.

"An illusion? It doesn’t seem like it. Could it really be an external planet?"

"By observing the stars tonight, I’ll be able to confirm if this is Ruins Star."

Su Yu thought to himself.

With his current abilities, even if he had indeed arrived on an external planet, he had a way to determine his location.

That method was observing the stars.

The starry sky visible from each planet is unique.

With Su Yu’s current memory, he had a complete star chart in his mind to compare against.

Come night, all would be revealed naturally.
