Protecting oneself is the utmost priority.
Su Ziyu briefly studied the Space-Time Monitor System and confirmed that the system had upgraded a little bit more.
The new abilities he acquired were not yet well-practiced, but their potential seemed significant. At least when applied to metal objects, their power far exceeded telekinesis. Su Ziyu didn't have a clear plan for now, but he thought with some study he might even completely ignore conventional firearm bullets. The Spiritual Protection Field wasn't very effective at blocking bullets, as it shattered after stopping only a few. However, if he could create a protective field using magnetic force, metal bullets should theoretically have no effect on him anymore, right?
He would have to think it over once back home.
Mastery of magnetic force was entirely dependent on spiritual energy. The higher the level of spiritual enhancement, the stronger the magnetic field he could control. The conversion efficiency of this ability was slightly lower than Spiritual Lightning, about only 50-60% of it. It was likely because it's an extension ability, as Su Ziyu's core power remained Spiritual Lightning.
Should he perhaps study the theory of electromagnetic transformation when he has time?
Headache.
Who would have thought that even after time traveling, he still had to study.
.........
The next morning.
Su Ziyu bid farewell to leave for Polaris. The Brotherhood had completely taken over the research institute, capturing a few prisoners outside, and there were still many documents recorded on paper inside. The Bionics School people would likely need to muck around there for a while. Part of the troops was already redeployed last night. The Brotherhood had assembled quite a number of people for this operation, leaving many branches temporarily undefended.
Leon arranged a helicopter to send him back.
This time they acquired a large amount of data on genetic modification, especially data documenting shortcomings and weaknesses of super mutants, which the Bionics School planned to study for some time.
Mother Yisodel was still missing.
Su Ziyu had no idea how she escaped. The secret passage inside the research institute had been found, but there were no signs of it being opened.
It was as if she had vanished into thin air.
This operation thoroughly struck a blow to the Genetics Faction, but no one relaxed, as the Genetics Faction was unlikely to let this slide and might suddenly launch a counterattack.
The two major factions were now clashing head-on.
For Su Ziyu, this was good news because the Bionics School drew a lot of animosity from the other side, making them relatively safer.
Buzz.
The helicopter slowly descended.
Su Ziyu jumped down directly, and soon a petite figure leaped towards him happily, saying, "Daddy!"
He reached out and lifted the little girl, then smiled at Pasha before him.
The mission went quite smoothly this time.
Of course, if it weren't for Su Ziyu secretly handling those heavy exoskeleton armors and forcibly interrupting the research institute's self-destruction program, the mission outcome would have been greatly diminished. He didn't seek credit; it was better to act low-profile and not draw too much attention. He had already been high-profile enough for destroying Old Gods artifacts recently; it was better to keep things quiet and reap the Source Power Value instead.
Money and wealth?
The gold and jewelry inside Polaris probably added up to nearly one or two tons.
Power and status?
Su Ziyu's stay in this world was limited. It was more worthwhile to focus on eliminating more mutants than to waste efforts on these aspects.
He needed the Brotherhood's influence and information, but there wasn't much in it to draw his interest. Besides, Su Ziyu did not pursue the route of bionic transformation; the technology they held was frankly inferior to what he could dabble with in the Mechanical Ascension Plane, likely surpassing the best-kept secrets of the Bionics School.
Um.
Of course, that's just casual talk. Going to such a high-difficulty plane with his present strength would indeed be risky.
It's basically confirmed to be an interstellar era plane.
Better be cautious.
Figure out how to become a demigod first, then consider entering such high-level difficulty planes.
"Name: Su Ying [Space-Time Apostle]."
"Race: Human [Perfect Mutant]."
"Biological Level: Tier Two."
"Authority Level: Space-Time Apostle."
"Abilities: Spiritual Energy LV3, Telekinesis Burst, Sixth Sense."
"Attributes: Good Fortune, Radiation Immunity, Genetic Modification, Regeneration Enhancement, Mind Sensing, Child of the Plane."
Wait, what!?
Su Ziyu instinctively checked the little girl's data, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Sixth Sense?
He hadn't enhanced the little girl's Sixth Sense ability before he left, right?
"Did you have another epiphany?" Su Ziyu lowered his voice and asked quietly.
The little girl wrapped her fair little hands around Su Ziyu's neck, nodded slightly upon hearing the question, and whispered sneakily, "Uh-huh. Mommy almost found out."
"But Daddy, I didn't break anything this time."
Is the Child of the Plane that powerful?
Jealous but not begrudging.
This should be the second time the little girl had an epiphany. Last time she gained the ability of Telekinesis Burst, and this time she awakened the 'Sixth Sense'.
Is the plane's unconsciousness this protective of her?
It's practically like cheating!
But this is also a good thing, as the time left in the Hourglass of Time is running out, and before his departure, the little girl would undoubtedly have stronger self-preservation capabilities. Su Ziyu had thoroughly discussed with Pasha that in the near future they should focus on developing quietly and let the Brotherhood handle any direct conflicts until the little girl grows a bit older, as Su Ziyu would also need some time before returning.
Having formed a contract with the Space-Time Apostle, Su Ziyu could see the current plane's time flow. He certainly wouldn't wait until twelve years later this time.
Back then, Su Ziyu had traversed through the Dream Realm Plane, the Demon Hunter Plane, the Abyss Plane, the Hundred Ghosts Plane, and then returned to the Wasteland World. According to his estimation, upon finishing the next unknown plane, he would use the vacation localization authority.
The time shouldn't exceed three years.
After the academy's civil war erupted, both sides needed to recuperate and amass power. The current situation was a southern and northern divide, with the Genetics Faction's base camp in the south and the Bionics School's base camp in the north.
Even if full-scale war resumed, it wouldn't be now.
Short-term conflicts would surely arise, as the Bionics School would aim to uproot the Genetics Faction's northern strongholds, yet they lacked the will to advance into the southern base camp.
The world's issues were even more severe than anticipated.
If Su Ziyu truly wanted a one-time resolution, demigod-level strength was a prerequisite, or else he wouldn't even stand a chance against the Old Gods if found. With the little girl possessing the Child of the Plane attribute, the plane's consciousness would undoubtedly find ways to safeguard her growth. Su Ziyu too needed time to amass strength, at least to take on the Old Gods frontally.
A day passed quickly.
Su Ziyu continued as planned, training the little girl to enhance her control over spiritual energy while steadily boosting her power, expecting that by the time he left, her spiritual ability level could reach LV6, coupled with her own breakthroughs and awakening abilities, enabling her to match Mother Yisodel's past level.
But the cost would be the complete depletion of Su Ziyu's accumulated Source Power Values.
However, Su Ziyu wasn't the least bit anxious. Although he didn't gain much strength in this plane, his private space now held two Little Boy nukes and one Fat Man nuke.
If the next plane turned out to be too dangerous,
he would just pave the way with nukes!
Moreover, as long as Pasha's side remained issue-free, every time Su Ziyu returned to this world, he could replenish a batch of mini nukes, since Polaris had resources, capability, and means to purchase them.
Though a bit pricey, it didn't matter; they could afford it.
Henceforth,
Call me—Su-Nuke your way through-Yu-Explosions are art-fish!
