Chapter 1 The Beginning

Sa!

A flash of light, and a slightly bloated Emperor mech suddenly appeared in the Superpower Security Department's vault, instantly shattering the safe. The next moment, the mech automatically unloaded, revealing the figures of three people.

Han Xiao casually retrieved the Throne and looked around at his surroundings.

The three were in a separate vault, in front of a transparent, high-strength material partition, where they could see rows of vaults outside. A small number were empty, and most contained different collections.

"The change-of-address tactic is as useful as ever," Han Xiao chuckled.

"Looks like we're here. What's next?" Ksyuje rubbed his forehead, feeling that the accumulated psychic power was about to burst out at any moment, like he had taken a laxative.

Jess looked at the codes on the outside vaults and said, "This is Warehouse Area 117. The closest dimension consciousness carrier is in Area 106."

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded abruptly, echoing throughout the warehouse.

The next moment, new alloy isolation walls descended in all the vaults, the material opaque, blocking the view, and with even higher defense strength.

"The alarm has been triggered. The vaults will be sealed immediately, and automatic defense robots will be activated to besiege us. At the same time, important collections will be transported away through pipelines for emergency avoidance."

Jess was not surprised at all. With a wave of his hand, a virtual screen appeared in front of him. He quickly operated it and said casually:

"I just used a backdoor code to deregister the emergency avoidance program for the collections, so don't worry about the carrier being transferred. However, the changes here will inevitably alarm the headquarters, and those superhumans on standby will rush over. We don't have much time."

"Then hurry up."

Han Xiao nodded, turned around, and with a sweeping kick, a loud bang echoed as metal fragments scattered like celestial flowers. The isolation wall of the vault was shattered.

The three acted quickly, moving towards their destination at high speed, deafened by the piercing alarm.

Along the way, the floor and walls continuously slid open, revealing automatic defense devices. Countless multi-barreled turrets fired at the three, one small-caliber dark energy beam after another forming dark red chains of light, constantly whipping behind the trio's trajectories.

Han Xiao maintained a thick psionic shield, the dark energy beams falling on it like a torrential rain. Ripples of red and blue spread across the surface of the shield, looking like raindrops falling into a lake, with little power. But this was only because the shield's strength was too high. Some of the beams that missed struck the metal floor or walls, and the terrifying high temperature instantly melted them, turning them into molten metal and triggering dense, substantial dark energy explosions. Everywhere the three passed was a scene of devastation.

Because of the lack of a secondary dimension, it was impossible to extract psionic energy here, but the mechanical troops Han Xiao brought were all equipped with psionic reactors. Through the fission and devouring characteristics of psionic energy, more controllable psionic seeds could be created without collecting them through the secondary dimension. So, here, Han Xiao's energy intensity had a certain innate advantage.

The automatic defense mechanism failed to stop the trio, and they broke through numerous obstacles, constantly approaching Warehouse Area 106.

Just then, the three sensed two powerful individuals rapidly approaching. With a loud bang, two burly figures broke through the wall, their bodies emitting a strong martial arts aura.

The two martial artists locked onto the three and charged frantically, accompanied by furious roars.

"How dare you attack the Superpower Security Department headquarters! Your crimes are heinous!"

Jess glanced at them and said quickly, "Under normal circumstances, one to three Saint-level or higher powerhouses will be stationed at the warehouse on a daily basis, taking shifts. These two should be the guards, so they arrived the fastest. It will take some time for the others to arrive from headquarters. Don't get entangled with them."

Hearing this, Ksyuje didn't say a word and aimed at the two, unleashing all his stored psychic power.

Boom!

A circle of psychic shockwaves burst out from under his feet, and then an extraordinary psychic force shot out. Most psychic powers were invisible and intangible, but the psychic power Ksyuje shot out shone with dazzling light due to its extreme condensation. It was as solid as a substance, extremely powerful, like a beam of light, even distorting the surrounding space. It instantly swallowed the figures of the two martial artists.

This psychic power was like a black hole emitting infinite gravity. Just standing next to him, Han Xiao could feel a strange mental suction, as if it wanted to drag his soul away. One could imagine what it was like for the two Saint-level martial artists who were hit head-on.

Puchi!

A sound like a punctured balloon rang out in the spiritual realm, deep into the soul, echoing endlessly.

Han Xiao took a closer look and saw the two martial artists lying on the road, twitching all over, unable to get up. Their mouths and noses were like faucets that had been turned on, red and white flowing out. Their brains had been shaken out.

"Their consciousness has been shattered by me and won't recover for a while," Ksyuje said, feeling comfortable after emptying his psychic reserves.

"Nice work," Han Xiao gave a thumbs up.

As expected of someone who had been holding back for months, the impact was strong enough, and it was also marinated. One blast incapacitated two ordinary Super-A Grades.

If mental attacks weren't of limited use against dimension consciousness bodies, Ksyuje would have preferred to save this trump card for the Guardian's main body. Moreover, at this time, Han Xiao and Jess's bodies were filled with mechanical legions, and their hit points and stamina were suppressed. Only he maintained his full combat power, which could maximize the speed of the battle.

On the other side, the Superpower Security Department headquarters had fully mobilized. All the high-level officials had urgently entered an encrypted communication channel, sharing the monitoring screens of the warehouse area. Everyone was filled with shock and anger.

They didn't expect that these three daring criminals would use some kind of strange teleportation method to directly attack their headquarters!

Since the first day the Superpower Security Department was established, it was the first time someone had attacked the headquarters!

While shocked and angry, everyone also felt deeply confused.

This group of people diverted the tiger away from the mountain, expending so much effort to attack the headquarters. What was their purpose? It seemed like they wanted to steal something from the warehouse?

"No matter what their goal is, we must never let them succeed!" Everyone had the exact same determination.

The many powerhouses stationed at headquarters were rushing to the warehouse at full speed. When they saw the two warehouse guards appear, they were happy for a moment, thinking that they could at least hold off the enemy for a while. But they didn't expect that the next second, the two guards would be beaten down.

Seeing this scene, the many Section Chiefs and Deputy Section Chiefs who were on their way changed their expressions and became very serious.

"Ksyuje has been hiding too deeply. His combat power is stronger than expected!"

"Looking at all the psychic masters in history, his strength is also among the best."

Just as everyone was shocked, an unexpected change occurred in the monitoring screen.

Bang!!

A vault in Area 106 shattered suddenly, and a group of powerful superhumans appeared out of thin air, greater in number, and went straight for the three attackers without saying a word.

This scene stunned everyone.

"How did another group come?!"

"Who are these guys? I don't recognize any of them. Could they be accomplices of the attackers?"

"They don't look like it. They seem to be hostile to those three attackers... They're fighting!"

"Damn it, do they think this is a place where they can just come and go as they please?!"

Everyone was stunned and confused.

However, although they didn't know where the group of powerhouses that appeared later came from, when they saw that this group was blocking the attackers, everyone could only temporarily regard them as allies, not enemies.

...

After defeating the obstacles, the three continued to move forward, but before they could reach Area 106, they sensed eight powerful energy fluctuations descending out of thin air.

Jess's eyes narrowed. "The Guardian and its avatars are here!"

Clearing foreign variables was the Guardian's core mechanism. It currently only had a part of its rigid preset program left. As long as it detected outsiders appearing within a certain range of the carrier, the Guardian's main body and avatars would definitely descend to encircle and kill the outsiders. This was its core mechanism and could not be violated.

"Their appearance can change at will. I don't know which one is the main body right now, but it must be among them. Give me some time to identify it, otherwise we can only rely on luck."

Hearing Jess's words, Han Xiao's eyes flickered and said:

"No need, I should have a way to lock onto the other party's main body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xiao released his main body's barracks. Large swaths of mechanical force arcs burst out, and mechanical warriors were born in the lightning, the scene resembling scattering beans to form soldiers. He directly shot a huge mechanical legion out of his body, instantly shattering this warehouse area.

His hit points, which had been suppressed to five million, instantly rebounded, immediately recovering to forty million, and his stamina also recovered simultaneously.

"Hoo, that's comfortable..."

With the load released, Han Xiao only felt a burst of relief all over his body, and all the suppressed power was restored.

Jess, who was on the side, was also quickly emptying his psychic reserves, shooting out all the machinery in his body and quickly spreading it out.

The next moment, eight figures appeared in sight, rapidly approaching.

Without saying a word, Han Xiao manipulated the mechanical legion to unleash a barrage of firepower. The eight figures used their own methods to prop up different types of shields, and energy shockwaves exploded in mid-air.

Combat information instantly filled the screen. He opened the panel and quickly glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth curved up. He decisively pointed to one of the figures.

"Found it, that's the main body!"

Distinguishing between the real and the fake was not difficult for him. The panel had already exposed the enemy's information.

"So fast?!"

Jess was stunned and almost didn't react.

We've only just met, and I haven't even seen the clues yet, and you've already locked onto the target? How is your efficiency even higher than mine, who has all the information?!

Jess couldn't help but think of the experiences of the previous three groups of outsiders. Except for the earliest group, the other two groups had fallen at this step. Because they couldn't distinguish the main body, they fell into a bitter battle and were finally surrounded and annihilated by the Superpower Security Department's Section Chiefs.

'This group of outsiders is much more reliable than the previous three groups, especially Black Star. In his universe iteration, he should also be a prominent figure...'

Jess thought with secret satisfaction.

"The main body is yours, I'll hold off the other avatars!" He didn't doubt Han Xiao's judgment and directly manipulated the legion to entangle the seven avatars.

He threw out a specially made targeting device to confine the dimension consciousness body within the entity. Although the other party could not violate the core mechanism, he also took insurance measures to ensure that the dimension consciousness body could not escape.

Han Xiao also did not hesitate. He absorbed a part of the army and transformed into a medium-sized Mechanical Deity, launching a fierce attack on the Guardian's main body. Ksyuje cooperated from the side, attacking the Guardian's main body while restraining the other seven avatars, creating output space for Han Xiao.

The Guardian's main body was the incarnation of the dimension consciousness body and could control a part of the dimensional energy. In order to kill the outsiders, it temporarily created an entity for itself. Due to the setting of the preset program, it itself had extremely high combat power, equivalent to the highest-level combat power here, and it was also a relatively strong type with inexhaustible energy.

Han Xiao naturally didn't hold back at all and went all out. The Star Destroyer Blade slashed open the Guardian's main body's energy shield again and again.

Boom!!

Eleven Super-A Grades fought fiercely, and the aftershocks directly shattered the entire warehouse.

Countless debris and fragments floated in the universe, and who knows how many unique universe treasures were destroyed in the explosion.

Seeing the warehouse explode, all the high-level officials of the Superpower Security Department almost had their hearts stop beating. They only felt a mouthful of old blood surge to their throats.

"Ah—kill this group of attackers on the spot! Don't let a single one escape!!"

The department leader's eyes instantly turned red, and he roared furiously, almost going crazy.

In the starry sky, Han Xiao was manipulating the Mechanical Deity, heavily striking the Guardian's main body again and again. Just then, his perception suddenly warned him that seven or eight High-Level Section Chiefs were rapidly approaching, and in the distance, there were dozens of Saint-Level Deputy Section Chiefs coming.

Before they even arrived, all kinds of ranged attacks were launched, forming a colorful energy torrent in the universe, attacking the Mechanical Deity from all angles, the brilliance carrying fatal danger.

Even if the information showed that Black Star's physique was amazing, the many powerhouses present didn't believe that he could withstand the concentrated fire of dozens of people.

Han Xiao glanced back and suddenly threw out a strange array of prismatic devices without dodging.

This device suddenly shook in mid-air, and a strange fluctuation suddenly spread out, forming a huge spherical domain covering this area.

The next second, the flow of time within the domain instantly slowed down. The members of the Superpower Security Department present and their attacks simultaneously fell into a standstill, their movements becoming slow and sluggish, as if they had activated a slow-motion function. Only Han Xiao, Ksyuje, and the Guardian were unaffected, even Jess himself was hit.

This was one of the special technologies Jess had developed specifically for this secondary dimension, which could cause the spatiotemporal cycle phantom in an area to be strongly disturbed, and only outsiders and dimension consciousness bodies would be unaffected.

—Without this technology, the plan to attack the Superpower Security Department would have been almost impossible to succeed.

"What kind of ability is this?!"

Although the movements of the powerhouses of the Superpower Security Department present had slowed down, their thinking was still functioning, and their anger turned into horror. They were all frightened by this method.

Unable to move, watching the enemy wantonly ravaging their warehouse, everyone's hearts were bleeding, and they felt like they were being violated in front of their spouses.
