"What? You trash!!"
"If anything happens to Lord Talavan Keen, I will definitely send you to accompany him!"
Hearing this, Diamond roared and cut off the communication. He still needed to find other methods and didn't have time to waste talking to this trash.
The frenzied Head of the Market Development Department had now shed his madness, and his face surprisingly showed no trace of fear.
Instead, it held an unspeakable sense of melancholy.
As a former Trailblazer, he actually knew that his actions had deviated from the Path of Trailblaze he once followed.
This time, the trap meticulously designed for Lord Talavan was probably executed based on the assumption that the Corporation possessed the Imaginary Collapse Pulse.
Tragically, the Corporation truly did not have this weapon... It seems Lord Talavan will be unable to escape this calamity... And he himself will likely have to pay the price for his actions.
At the very least, Diamond definitely wouldn't let him off the hook... The unlucky Xianzhou Luofu was still having bad luck at this moment.
Jing Yuan, who had only inherited the position of Xianzhou Luofu General a few centuries ago, felt his face starting to twitch.
"Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, have the results of your Divination Commission's calculations come out yet?"
Jing Yuan released his Divine Foresight General, Path energy surging wildly, as if he intended to carry the entire Xianzhou Luofu and swiftly flee this place of trouble.
This squishy Emissary of the Hunt had no confidence in surviving a hit from the Genius's favorite weapon.
The moment he realized that the Xianzhou Luofu was caught in the crossfire, dragged into the vortex of war between the Mythology · Heavenly Court and the Interstellar Peace Corporation, his first thought was to run.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The entire star system was directly locked down by the Mythology · Heavenly Court's superweapon, and all Warp Jump capabilities were sealed.
"General, rest assured, the Xianzhou Luofu is not the target of the Mythology · Heavenly Court."
The phantom of Grand Diviner Fu Xuan appeared beside Jing Yuan, looking up at the Divine Foresight General in its Heaven-and-Earth Manifestation state, gently comforting the young Divine Foresight General.
"According to the Divination Commission's calculations, the coverage area of that unknown superweapon is rapidly shrinking, and it will soon push the Xianzhou Luofu outside its range."
"We cannot rely on luck."
Taking a deep breath, Jing Yuan, who had almost succumbed to Mara, felt the Divine Foresight General behind him emit a great power capable of suppressing the sea of stars, crushing the demonic thoughts in his heart. He then said, "Help me contact the Marshal, and ask her to initiate diplomatic negotiations with the Mythology · Heavenly Court!"
"I believe that our Xianzhou Alliance still holds considerable influence in the Cosmic Galaxy!"
"Yes, General!"
...But let's put aside the unlucky Xianzhou Luofu, which was caught in the crossfire.
Over at Pier Point, they were also frantic.
Diamond, the Preservation Emissary, was so enraged he almost rushed over to Oswaldo Schneider to tear him to pieces.
However, Talavan Keen's safety was more important at the moment, forcing him to temporarily suppress this urge.
Then, while frantically searching the Corporation's technological reserves and various Wondrous Items, he continuously urged the Corporation's Technology Development Department and the Intelligentsia Guild to decipher the secrets of this superweapon as quickly as possible.
As the sole superpower in the entire Cosmic Galaxy, the Interstellar Peace Corporation possessed astonishing heritage.
Whether it was superweapon technology or various powerful Wondrous Items, they had everything imaginable.
However, breaking the current deadlock proved quite difficult.
While those superweapon technologies certainly had power, their actual technical complexity was not as astonishing as imagined, nor were they mature or stable. They were essentially incomplete, defective products—
There was no way around it.
In this universe, the truly cutting-edge technology is always held by the geniuses.
They had countless ways to hide these technologies securely, ensuring the Corporation could never glimpse them.
Dr. Calderon Chadwick was an exception; one could only say he was too young and naive, failing to react before the Corporation seized the opportunity.
As for escaping using Wondrous Items... Wondrous Items are not omnipotent. If they could clearly identify the flaw, they might be useful, but blindly throwing Wondrous Items at the problem would be underestimating the Genius's invention.
"What kind of technology is this?!"
Dr. Ratio looked at the data provided by the Corporation and personally used the most advanced observation equipment to monitor the situation.
"What kind of Dimensional Technology could be this exaggerated?"
"How could even a powerful Preservation Emanator be trapped so firmly, with no room to struggle?"
Professor Ratio and the scholars of the entire Intelligentsia Guild began working frantically.
Although the Corporation was indeed the Intelligentsia Guild's major benefactor, their frantic efforts weren't entirely due to the Corporation's financial aid.
The primary reason the Intelligentsia Guild was founded was largely because ordinary scholars wanted to understand the creations and manuscripts occasionally passed down from the hands of the geniuses... Every time they looked at a genius's creation, it was like looking at a piece of heresy that overturned the cosmic scientific system.
Every time they looked at a genius's manuscript, it was like a primitive person looking at calculus.
To understand these things that seemed like heavenly texts, they had no choice but to form an organization, hoping that there was strength in numbers—
At the very least, they should be able to slightly interpret the little toys occasionally leaked by the geniuses, right?
Now that another member of the Genius Society was causing trouble, of course they had to work hard to collect data!
Finally, through the joint efforts of the Corporation's Technology Development Department and the Intelligentsia Guild, they barely managed to construct a rough model.
"..."
Dr. Ratio stared silently at the model, instantly falling into a state of confusion: "What... is this?"
He couldn't understand it at all. What now?
"Professor Ratio, we don't need to crack this superweapon, we just need to know where the weak point is!"
Diamond asked anxiously. In his view, although Ratio couldn't compare to a genius, he was still a super scientist in the Cosmic Galaxy, so he should be able to figure something out, right?
"The time required for me to achieve what you've asked for is probably not a small number."
Dr. Ratio directly swallowed a Wondrous Item provided by the Corporation—an ultra-rare item capable of temporarily boosting intelligence.
After a moment of thought, Dr. Ratio actually managed to figure out something.
However, regrettably, producing any real results in a short period was genuinely impossible.
Diamond pondered the situation and began frantically contacting members of the Genius Society.
Unfortunately, Screwllum was currently engaged in a cold war with the Corporation and directly refused their invitation.
And most of the other geniuses could not be contacted on short notice.
"Oswaldo Schneider, you truly deserve to die!"
Diamond, hitting one wall after another, took a deep breath, and the urge to flay him alive surged uncontrollably in his heart again.
