As the giant spaceship fell into the astral world, Lu Zhiyu's violent attacks completely activated the spaceship's defense system. However, the spaceship still seemed to be on the defensive instead of the offensive.
"No one's there, " he said.
He then asked, "Then, who let out those fighting robots tens of thousands of years ago? Or... Were they merely following their programming?"
As Lu Zhiyu stood above the giant spaceship, those fighting robots kept attacking him. With the erosion of Lu Zhiyu's power, those robots were reprogrammed into being his allies. Then, they turned their backs against the other fighting robots and small armored vehicles that were coming out of the spaceship.
The spaceship's side was crushed, and many fighting robots and small armored helicopters fell under Lu Zhiyu's control. Gradually, these fighting robots and armored helicopters stopped attacking Lu Zhiyu. They then opened the protection shield, blocking all of the entryways and cabins so that the spaceship was only in defensive mode.
The protection shield had been completely activated at this time. The two plasma launchers shot plasma out, which immediately formed a giant oval shield of force that protected the entire spaceship.
Via a magnetic field, the plasma was constrained and a stable shield was formed. As for the high temperature that was coming from the plasma, which was supposed to destroy the spaceship instantly, it was kept out of the magnetic field by the special equipment that constrained the plasma.
Lu Zhiyu could tell from the fighting robots that the technique of the shield of force that was owned by that civilization was pretty advanced. As Lu Zhiyu turned those fighting robots against each other, he found out that there were signs on these robots that they were radiated by the power of a mysterious and mythical creature, and it was the same biological force power that the fighting robot Cain possessed.
They've encountered a being like me before? Lu Zhiyu immediately frowned, and his interest in the interior design of this space was piqued.
Lu Zhiyu knew how powerful and terrific he was, yet even he was far inferior to this civilization, both in the realms of power and technology. However, a mythical creature that was only conceptual was like a virus in the real world, and only other mythical creatures were able to kill it. Otherwise, it would be able to infect others the second it had the chance.
These mythical creatures were able to corrode both carbon-based lives and silicon-based lives. They were also able to take control of those living beings, killing them and seizing their powers.
Lu Zhiyu could even imagine that when those robots encountered the mythical creatures, they would immediately seize their spaceship and their fighting robots. They would then turn those robots against their own kind, causing them to destroy the others in the spaceship.
This was only the basic power that a mythical creature had. Lu Zhiyu's power was way more intricate.
As for those mythical creatures at a higher level, even Lu Zhiyu couldn't envision their abilities. However, the level-nine ability of the creatures that Lu Zhiyu was pursuing could easily transform the quality of materials and create a picture of the creature of the world.
This was an evolutionary path that was completely different from that of one that used technology. Lu Zhiyu thought that he was the only one in this world who had this kind of life form, but it now seemed that this was not the case.
The spaceship that was being protected by the shield of force kept emanating the biological force that it had been infected with by the mythical creature. As such, it was disturbing the Lu Zhiyu's observation. So, Lu Zhiyu decided to get into the spaceship to check everything himself.
Lu Zhiyu turned into a light shadow, which pierced through the standing shield of the spaceship. It didn't trigger anything inside it. In fact, it was as if the force field that had been formed by plasma completely ignored Lu Zhiyu!
Lu Zhiyu got through the protection shield and came closer to the giant spaceship that looked like an enormous city. It looked like a golden crown yet was not a hollow ring like a regular crown, but was filled inside.
Lu Zhi entered the spaceship through the central cabin door. The interior part of the spaceship was different from what Lu Zhiyu had expected.
The lighting was flickering, and he could hear an intense sound of an alarm. However, he couldn't see anyone inside.
All of the portals had already been blocked, and the interior part of the spaceship was covered by black vines and branches. It seemed as if those black vines and branches had actually grown on this spaceship.
The vines and branches were now swallowing the spaceship, and they looked like some sort of bizarre creatures. At this moment, they were silent, while they stopped eroding those that had been previously corroded.
"It's indeed a mythical creature, " he exclaimed."It's so powerful!"
Lu Zhiyu was amazed by its power, but he still didn't know what kind of creature and the power he was facing. The trunk that had grown inside this spaceship wasn't the original body of that creature. Instead, it was a creature that had mutated after being radiated by the power of the mythical creature's cells!
It seemed that this spaceship had encountered that mythical creature, and after it was radiated by the power of that creature, its shape morphed and headed straight toward that the creature. It was just like when the demon relatives were infected by the power of the abyss... The infection on those fighting robots also came from that enormous trunk at that time!
Lu Zhi kept moving forward and traveled through the power cabin in the spaceship. After observing the entire spaceship for some time, some of his questions were answered.
Based on his speculation, this spaceship came from a nebula in Orion that was more than 1, 500 light years away from earth. Nobody on earth could figure out what kind of speed they were traveling at, nor how they could have managed to make such a long journey. It was likely that the speed of the spaceship would be at least at light speed since it had been able to make its way to earth.
The faster an object traveled, the greater its mass would be, and when it reached light speed, its mass would become infinitely large. The spaceship wouldn't be able to withstand such a weight, so the spaceship would disintegrate instantly. Even Lu Zhiyu couldn't imagine how that spaceship from an alien civilization had successfully traveled all the way to earth from 1, 500 light years away!
"Anti-material fuels, space curvature engine!" he exclaimed.
Just as Lu Zhiyu had expected, the technology of this alien civilization had far exceeded that of the earth's civilization, but it wasn't too advanced to be beyond the earthlings' imaginations. Even so, it was still considered an advanced universe civilization to the earthlings, and compared to them, the earth's civilization was like a primitive tribe.
Lu Zhiyu observed the spaceship for a long time, then concluded that it was an advanced interstellar civilization. They were even able to create a seemingly silicon-based life, but one that was different from what Lu Zhiyu had expected.
This was because they were not actually silicon-based lives. Instead, it was highly likely that they were creatures that were very similar to humans.
It could be told from the interior structures and the facilities, height, and width of that spaceship that this was a race with similar body shapes, body structures, and habits as the humans. Even their characters were very similar to humans'.
However, in the interior part of the spaceship, Lu Zhiyu didn't see any existences or even any remains of those alien creatures. There were giant tree trunks that were spread out inside the spaceship, and Lu Zhiyu could see that the entire spaceship had morphed into the shape of that bizarre mythical creature.
Perhaps the living creatures inside were more fragile, so they were immediately transformed by that mythical creature? Lu Zhiyu thought.
Lu Zhiyu then walked through the cabin, where there were branches and twigs intertwined, and the force field coming out of those tree branches were able to change any ordinary living creature that came near it, assimilating it into the mythical creature. As Lu Zhiyu walked through those tree branches and emanated his own life force field, the tree branches started to degenerate.
Then, they eventually disappeared, and the spaceship turned back to how it originally was. Upon seeing this, Lu Zhiyu slowly walked to the center of the spaceship.
