Death… And Me

They also encountered a different type of robot, distinct from the ones working in the facilities. These robots, judging by their appearance, served as guards and formed part of the ship\'s defense system. After a brief inspection of their temporary identification cards, the patrol robots disregarded the twins as they passed by. Rean couldn\'t help but comment, "I can\'t gauge the strength of these robots."

Roan agreed, "The same goes for me. Without any cultivation, it\'s difficult to assess their capabilities."

Luan quickly warned Rean and Roan, "Father, Uncle Rean, let\'s not cause any trouble. With my Sacred Eyes, I can see their energy sources. Each of these robots possesses an unbelievably high amount of energy. Even if they don\'t attack us and simply explode, the resulting energy release could endanger our lives significantly, especially considering the restrictions in Spatial Powers in this place."

Surprised, Rean and Roan inquired further, "That severe? Wait, what kind of energy?" They had yet to detect even a trace of Divine Energy in the surroundings. "Can you identify the type of energy they employ?"

Luan nodded, confirming his findings. "There\'s no doubt about it. They are powered by Divine Origin Energy, and it\'s remarkably pure. If I compare their Divine Origin Energy levels with the amount in Father and Uncle Rean\'s Dantians, I estimate they possess approximately 50% of your reserves... each!"

Before the twins could respond, Celis\'s voice echoed in their minds from within the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. \'What did you say?! Enormous sources of Divine Origin Energy? And pure, too?! Rean, Roan, you must extract their cores. It would greatly benefit our cultivation!\'

Rean and Roan were at a loss for words. \'Are you out of your mind? Did you not hear what Luan said? These robots possess 50% of our Divine Origin Energy! Not to mention the unknown weapons and counterattacks they could deploy if provoked. Furthermore, while we might be able to handle a few of them, there are likely hundreds, if not thousands, in this sector of the Spaceship alone.\'

Recognizing the impracticality of his request, Celis conceded, \'Just remain vigilant. Should an opportunity arise, consider capturing one of them.\'

\'Alright, but for now, let\'s avoid unnecessary provocation,\' Roan replied. They would only take action if a genuine opportunity presented itself, which was not currently the case.

After approximately thirty minutes of walking, the twins\' group reached the designated Managing Office. The door swiftly scanned their cards and opened, revealing a relatively small room containing a few terminals. However, there were no attendants or signs of living personnel.

Surveying the empty room, the group approached the terminals. Rean took the initiative and examined them first. "Let\'s see..." He noticed a card slot where he could insert his identification card. After doing so, the terminal activated, displaying a series of messages as a robotic voice echoed from the terminal.

-Rean Larks-

-ID Number: Unknown-

-Authorization Level: 13F, Temporary-

-The user is unaware of his own Identification Number. The provided name does not correspond to any personnel assigned to sector 507-258B. Please provide a blood sample for genetic comparison against the Database.-

Rean glanced at Roan and Luan, both prepared to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm at the slightest hint of danger. \'Give it a try. If it fails, we\'ll leave this area using the Circuitry Teleportation Formation. Although it has limited range, it\'s still functional.\'

Agreeing with the idea, Rean nodded and pricked his finger against a small needle that emerged above the terminal. The needle then retracted, carrying a sample of his blood.

-Failure encountered. Unable to access Genetic Database.-I think you should take a look at

Rean was taken aback by the message. He expected the terminal to indicate that he was not part of the crew, but it failed to cross-reference his genetic data with the information in the Database. Nevertheless, it made sense considering the age of the Spaceship mentioned by Spiegel. Many of its systems were likely not working anymore.

"System, what should I do in this case? I have tasks that cannot wait for the Database to be repaired. As a probationary member, I must complete my assignments; otherwise, I risk disqualification by the higher-ups."

-Please wait momentarily. A Managing Officer will arrive shortly.-

*Beeeeeep*

-Error. The system cannot locate any Managing Officers currently on duty. Attempting to contact the Sector\'s Management Head on duty. Error. Management Head on duty not found.-

"Alright, what should I do then?" Rean inquired.

-...-

However, the system appeared to lack guidance for this particular situation. Rean waited for a minute, but the system remained silent. It was at this point that Rean had an idea.

"System, what are the procedures in case a sector has no Manager in charge?"

-Following guideline 419HJ, if a manager with higher clearance cannot be located, the next highest-ranking employee must assume responsibility for the sector\'s clearance system until further notice.-

Rean smiled in response. "Very well, transfer the authority to the next person in line."

-Analyzing request... Request accepted.-

-Searching...-

-Officer Jun Rhis... not found.-

-Officer Kranwers Lopibes... not found.-

-Officer Di...-

-No officers found. Searching for the worker with the highest clearance...-

-Worker Rean Larks possesses the highest clearance among those present in sector 507-258B. Transferring Manager position... Transfer successful. Please consult the \'Manager\'s guidelines\' available in your newly assigned worker file.-

-Rean Larks-

-New ID Number: 1325790003BJ-

-Authorization Level: 4B-

-Welcome back, Clearance Manager Rean, Sector 507-258B.-
