Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 62: The Millennium Falcon... Revised Edition

"I think so."

"I don't think so."

Si Ming stared at Yu Zhiwei, while Yu Zhiwei stared back at Si Ming without backing down.

One second, two seconds.

In the end, Yu Zhiwei raised her hands and sighed in surrender.

"Alright, alright, I can definitely enhance this. The Supreme God told me I only need 1000 points of mental power to exchange for a mental power scan. But—"

“I can’t do that.” Her expression suddenly turned serious. “Deep down, I have a feeling that if I exchange for the enhancement of the mental power system, I will die. Or, become something more terrible than death.”

She wasn't kidding.

Although she had always done some outrageous things in the past, this time she wasn't joking.

Si Ming lowered his eyes, pondering for a moment.

"It's the surface of a black hole, isn't it? The traces left by the 'Tear Horizon' ship, you still haven't erased them?"

"Hmm." Yu Zhiwei's delicate face contorted for a fleeting moment. "That ship had a significant impact on me. Or to be more precise..."

She raised her hand and tapped her temple.

"A part of that ship is probably still in my mind even now."

A silence.

Everyone was trying to understand what she was saying.

"Can't the Supreme God... fix it?" The first to speak out of concern for her was, naturally, Valentina, who was usually the one she got along with the most.

“No.” Yu Zhiwei shook her head. “Besides… there’s really no need to repair it.”

"why?"

She did not answer.

But Si Ming already knew.

"Because the Supreme God sees this as a benefit, a kind of enhancement... I see. Is this why you can continuously and freely release the Dot-Line Demon Eye, which theoretically requires a buffer of more than ten minutes after opening for half a second? It is the price you have to pay, but it is also a power that you control."

"Quite perceptive, Captain." Yu Zhiwei leaned back in her chair. "Perhaps when I'm stronger, unlock my gene lock to the third or fourth tier, and buy an AA-grade or S-grade enhancement, I'll be able to develop this power that I've stuffed into my brain. But before that, I'm afraid that apart from exchanging for a higher-level telekinetic power, all other mental enhancements will just make me explode like a firework."

She shrugged, looking helpless.

"I don't really care, but if I explode, it's hard to say whether I'll take a few more with me. I can't just find a quiet corner to explode myself, can I? But even if I did, there aren't any psychic users in our Celestial Team."

"...It's not impossible."

"Huh?" The beautiful eyes of the crazed girl widened slightly. "You really want me to die on the spot, Captain?"

Si Ming shook his head.

"I'm referring to the time when you were at the Guanyin Temple, during the invocation ceremony. When you defeated Li Ruonan then, you must have been activating that hidden power within you."

His wide eyes narrowed slightly.

She understood what Si Ming meant.

"A defensive psychic... a mind trap? Okay, I can definitely give that a try. Phew, it seems you have a pretty thorough understanding of psychics, Captain. Besides intelligence scanning, mind reading, manipulation, and disruption are indeed abilities that psychics can possess. Hmm, no problem. If the other party scans into my mind, I'll give it a good beating."

"It's just a response to extreme circumstances." Si Ming nodded, not intending to ask Yu Zhiwei about her detailed experiences in World Two. But he wouldn't stop there. "If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know. This is for the benefit of the team."

"Really!" Yu Zhiwei's eyes lit up. "Then I want Vana to give me a shoulder and back massage!"

well.

Si Ming turned his head away, unwilling to look anymore.

People who court death will die. And after realizing that this guy could survive being stabbed dozens of times, Valentina naturally showed no mercy.

A loud rumble came from the side.

Si Ming pretended not to see it and quietly applied to the main god to replace a set—no, several sets of tables and chairs. Only after everything quieted down and his talkative mouth dared not open again did he nod slightly to the rest of the team, signaling the meeting to continue.

“Actually, we don’t need to pay too much attention to those with psychic powers.” Almaria’s eye twitched as she tried to convince herself to adapt to the strange interactions within the Celestial team. She carefully recalled her team battle experiences and then gave concrete advice.

"Because the scan of a mentalist... is very simplistic. In most cases, he actually has no way to accurately pinpoint the exact location of the hostile reincarnator... Yes, mentalists cannot sense energy, aura, or other life qualities when scanning. All they can see is a simple image."

“That’s true.” Jacob nodded in agreement. “The Sands’ psychic users can even establish mental links. I shared her vision once—it’s like looking at a satellite map on a computer. Although the map is synchronized and you can zoom in on a specific area at any time, it’s actually quite aimless before you can lock onto the target… On the contrary, when the enemy also has a psychic user, the area where the target is located will form a black zone, which actually serves as a location tool.”

“Is that so… It’s similar to a satellite.” Valentina wiped her bloodied fist with a tissue, slightly pleased with herself. “Then I think I can upgrade my network access pod and enhance the remote hacking components. That way, we can directly control the satellite system in the modern world. And… the scanning range of a psychic is only a few hundred kilometers, right?”

“This should be determined based on the mental power attribute points,” Si Ming revealed a little of the information he knew. “The closer the distance, the more accurate the scan; the farther the distance, the more blurred the detection. But if we are locked on by the other side, we will probably find it difficult to escape in a short time.”

"Hmm... then if we just run a little faster, there won't be any problem, right?"

She suddenly raised her hand and established a connection with the Supreme God. As the reincarnation resources were paid, a huge, disc-shaped flying machine, about twenty meters long, suddenly appeared in the square outside the circular table.

"This is……"

"The Millennium Falcon!?" Jacob was the first to react, his eyes shining. "The main ship from Star Wars...you actually bought it!?"

“To be precise, it’s a downgraded version. The full version with a warp drive added requires an A.” Valentina nodded proudly, and the enhanced glow of the Supreme God also fell upon her. The prosthetic system within her body was upgraded again, especially in electronic warfare, where it received a significant boost.

A pale blue light shone through the prosthetic eye. The next moment, the twenty-meter-long disc-shaped spaceship floated up gracefully with a low hum, ready to be deployed into battle at any time.

"The original Millennium Falcon is 35 meters long, which is larger than mine. But the main load is carried by the built-in hyperspace engine that enables interstellar travel. As for mine, after the power system was replaced with an anti-gravity engine and the warp drive and extraterrestrial travel capabilities were removed, all other functions are still working well."

"Super alloy shell, shield generator. One explosive main cannon, two quad-barreled laser cannons, two missile launchers... Hmm, I can handle the piloting myself. But operating the weapons requires focused concentration or assistance from others. Otherwise, hmm..."

She frowned, then hesitated for a few seconds. The explosive cannon located at the ship's central axis suddenly emitted a soft hum. The next moment, a beam of eerie blue light pierced the sky, slamming into the pure white earth several kilometers away!

‘Boom—! ’

The ground trembled slightly. A large crater, several meters deep and tens of meters wide, appeared on the solid, pure white ground of the main deity tablet.

“…That’s about it.” Valentina rubbed her temples. “Wireless operation is still too difficult. If I control it from inside the cockpit, the effect should be much better.”

Si Ming nodded.

"The issue of concealment still needs to be addressed."

“Oh, then all we need to do is adjust the shield generator.” Valentina waved her hand, and the next moment, the silhouette of the downgraded Millennium Falcon disappeared from the reincarnators’ sight, a shielding layer similar to a holographic force field covering the ship. Instantly, the Millennium Falcon’s presence was concealed in the optical, thermal, and electromagnetic fields.

"The effect is not bad, but the concealment field cannot be activated at the same time as the protective field. And..."

The spaceship appeared before her, then vanished just as quickly. Her pocket space was larger than she had anticipated; it seemed she had planned her enhancement path long ago.

"That way, even if the other side can scan us, we can immediately fly and quickly escape their observation zone. And once I successfully hack into the global satellite system and take over it, they will be the ones who have a headache... Hmm, I can also install a large service crew on the spaceship, so I don't have to worry about not being able to win an electronic war."

“You’ve removed one of our worries,” Si Ming said, looking at her with a slightly complicated tone. “This has greatly improved the team’s mobility and stealth capabilities.”

However, Valentina simply shook her head slightly.

"What do you mean by 'helping us'? Captain, you don't think I'm sacrificing myself for the team, do you? Buying the Millennium Falcon was already in my plans. I'm also planning to buy a large robot later. It just so happens that my hobby overlaps with the team's needs. Don't think you're going to make up for anything... You don't really think that, do you?"

Si Ming's lips twitched slightly.

"I'm not that arrogant. But I'm just stating a fact."

He said, and his thoughts connected with the divine orb above his head—his current side quests were A and C, and as things stood, he probably didn't have enough time to accumulate enough for A and B, and...

—The fire within the Greatsword of Sin has been released… Now it is merely a sharp piece of iron.

—I need a weapon. A weapon that can maximize my current advantages.

Within his eyes, a screen of light flickered.

Then a glowing entry caught his eye.

—God, purchase the Greatsword of Firelink.
