Arknights: Theresa'S Miraculous Arrival

Chapter 72: The road of exploration begins

Evil demons from the Northern Wastes, terrifying monstrosities.

Ursus and Sami have fought against them for many years.

The Sami shamans rely on the power of nature, while the Ursus people choose to trust themselves.

Xing Chen genuinely dislikes organizations like the KGB. However, he also has to admit that they have made immense contributions to their country.

And the Ursus Imperial Guard deserve an additional mention; through their sacrifices, they successfully fended off Subspace life from the borders of Terra's civilization.

Although they, like the psychic tin cans next door, would eliminate ordinary informed individuals to prevent Subspace contamination.

"Are the Beach Umbrella and Meland Foundation people all here?"

Walking quickly through the corridors of Rhine Lab headquarters, Xing Chen couldn't help but ask Magellan beside him.

"Of course, when escorting dangerous goods of this level, everyone will be on high alert."

"What about the Cyclops' representative?"

Theresa recalled that the Sarkaz also had such a tribe living in Sami and couldn't help but be concerned.

You said you usually don't care about Kazdel's affairs, and that's fine.

But at the moment of deciding the fate of the entire Sarkaz race, they have already been silent once; this time, they must respond for themselves.

"A particularly tall and a particularly large Sarkaz are protecting that item."

Theresa nodded.

Kal'tsit and Saria had already obtained the right to leave Rhodes Island and move freely in Trimounts through their own means.

And both of them had set their sights on Rhine Lab.

Clearly, neither of them would agree to Columbia developing a weapon that could artificially create natural disasters.

Compared to Victoria's Shard, nuclear weapons are much cheaper.

The matter of evil demons had nothing to do with nuclear weapons, but their identities, especially Theresa's, were simply too sensitive.

A quick resolution, entering the vast territory of Ursus, would make tracking them very difficult... This meeting was arranged in an ordinary conference room.

Before coming, Xing Chen and Theresa made a trip to Friston.

With Friston's assistance, the three successfully entered the interior of the Continuation of Civilization, searching for what they needed among the categories of interstellar travel.

Pre-civilization's superluminal travel methods currently appear to be two: one is starships like Rhodes Island, which somewhat resemble the official vessels of the Seer and Prythian, and the other is the large Star Gates in northern Sami and the Burning Wind Hotlands, which are like highways, with fixed entry and exit points.

Compared to the other Terra, starship superluminal travel seems very safe, whereas the Star Gate's webway tends to spew things out.

However, since it was a mature mode of transportation, Pre-civilization also had countermeasures.

These included how to counter Subspace influence through spatial stabilization devices.

After spending a little time, the two of them understood the working principle of the spatial stabilization device.

Even a relatively low-spec version could easily erase a nursery brought from Subspace, capable of simultaneously destroying two of Terra's top powerhouses and their armies.

If the next-door neighbor had this, they would definitely use it to plug that toilet immediately, right?

Now, Theresa has mastered the ability to recreate the effect of a spatial stabilization anchor by weaving the present reality.

Before her, a genuine Subspace lifeform went from invincible to defeatable. So, wouldn't these imitations, which only wield power through fragments, be easily captured and instantly refined?

Entering the conference room, representatives from the four parties were already waiting for the two.

"This meeting is quite urgent, so we'll keep it brief."

Theresa walked to the display screen, and everyone present was so awed by her presence that they held their breath.

"This is a Collapsed Body; I believe everyone present is already familiar with it."

On the screen, a dead horned beast was being dissected, revealing a completely black section, a sign that light had been devoured.

"Collapse is a spatiotemporal phenomenon that can affect the material dimension and spread across other dimensions, such as a creature's cognition."

The slide began to change; in the image, a test subject was contaminated by this black substance. He tried to remove it by any means, such as solvents or cutting.

"Cognitive spells can limitedly deal with Collapse, such as Eternal Hunt or Apoptosis Damage." Saying this, Theresa glanced at the Sarkaz representative sent by Sami, "But this is ultimately just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

The next slide completely changed to a different filming style; the test subject had already transformed into a Collapsed Body and was completely annihilated by a joint force from Columbia and Sami.

The phenomenon of Collapse was still too difficult for the Terra people's cognition and technological level to handle, but Collapsed Bodies still had some material remnants in the real dimension, which conventional weapons could deal with.

Except for Kresnik, which is a true Subspace lifeform; it must first be dematerialized to a physical state via a reality stabilization anchor to remove its invincible Subspace status before any damage can be dealt.

"So how should we deal with them?"

The girl carrying a giant bow immediately raised her hand to speak. Xing Chen had seen this many times and was no longer surprised.

But he was sure that Theresa's gaze had definitely wavered.

It seems that after staying in the human world for a long time, even a Demon Lord can be affected.

"For me, it's very simple," Theresa said, manipulating threads to rip open the box on Typhon's chest, revealing the beautiful and eerie boundless flower inside.

"You are doing something very dangerous," seeing the boundless flower's box opened, Rinshi immediately took out her staff.

The boundless flower takes root in people's cognition, and if it spreads on a large scale, it will cause irreversible disaster.

"Touch it; this is your only chance." The flower, which was originally untouchable, suddenly gained substance in Theresa's hand.

"Who are you?" Rinshi slapped away Typhon's hand reaching for the flower, changing to a respectful address for Theresa.

"A Kazdel noble," Theresa picked up her long skirt, "who just happens to have mastered a bit of Originium Arts for manipulating space, capable of dragging this flower completely into the material world."

Representatives from several technology companies immediately began to whisper, seemingly very interested in Theresa's Originium Arts.

The Beach Umbrella company, which knew almost nothing about Theresa, immediately extended an invitation, hoping she could participate in the development of Sami.

"If you want to obtain my Originium Arts, I can show you a path," Theresa pressed a button, and an image of a colossal structure appeared on the slide.

"At the end of the Infi Icefield, there is a ruin from Pre-civilization; I have hidden everything about my Originium Arts there."

At this point, the meeting concluded.

Theresa tied the flower to her horn and left the room with Xing Chen under everyone's gaze.
