Simultaneous Transmigration: Merging with the True Self of All Heavens

Chapter 119 Ames's Mission

Just then, Arosia, who had been sitting quietly to the side most of the time, suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong, Arosia?" Han Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"These past few days, I've sensed a constraint preventing my abilities from growing stronger; it seems to be the B-level bottleneck you mentioned," Arosia said slowly.

"That's a good thing! It means you'll be advancing soon. There's no need to be too anxious; just let things take their course," Han Xiao said, thinking that Arosia was anxious because of a bottleneck.

However, to his surprise, Arosia did not seem to mean that.

On the contrary, she seemed to be in Versailles unconsciously.

She said, "I have a feeling that once I overcome this obstacle, my superpowers will be greatly enhanced."

"But—this bottleneck isn't as sturdy as you say; I should be able to break through it at any time—"

Melos, listening nearby, twitched with disbelief. He knew that Arocia, this "natural airhead," wasn't deliberately showing off; she was simply saying what she thought, and that's truly what she believed.

And that's what broke his defenses the most.

Thinking back to how he broke through the B-level bottleneck back then, he felt like he had wasted his life.

"In that case, let's find a place to stop temporarily and let Arosia complete her advancement." Looking at Melos's appearance, Li Yuan found it rather amusing.

"Okay." Han Xiao nodded, then maneuvered the spaceship to change its destination and fly towards the nearest asteroid.

After all, Aroshia is a superhuman with the ability to transform into an energy life form, and her advancement could cause quite a stir.

To be on the safe side, it's better to let her progress step by step.

If you advance your skills on a spaceship, and something unexpected happens, it won't be easy to handle.

After stepping onto the solid ground of this desolate asteroid, Arosia closed her eyes and her body slowly floated into the air.

The next moment, dazzling beams of light burst forth from her body, creating a violent energy surge within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the energy level began to rise exponentially.

Whoosh—

In an instant, a fierce wind howled, sand and stones flew, and terrifying shockwaves spread outwards from her center in all directions, like ripples on a wave.

Li Yuan, Han Xiao, and the others stood beside the spaceship, watching Arosia from a distance, in case anything happened to her.

-

"This is quite a show of force—" Melos raised his hand to shield his eyes from the bright light shining on him.

"She's special. She had a C-level water column right after waking up. The energy hidden in her body is astonishing. Breaking through to B-level is a natural progression for her, without any difficulty." Han Xiao seemed completely unsurprised.

Melos recalled how Han Xiao was a C-level when they first met, but had become a B-level the next day, and couldn't help but twitch his face: "Could it be that I'm the only one who thinks breaking through this barrier is really difficult?"

No one answered him, and all the other B-level superhumans present smiled.

Just then, the dazzling, light-like energy spread like seawater, rapidly filling the space within a radius of several hundred meters, turning that area into a sea of ​​light.

"It seems she succeeded." Han Xiao nodded slightly upon seeing this.

At this moment, the intensity and range of Arosia's energy transformation have far exceeded the previous limit, clearly reaching a new stage.

Suddenly, the light stopped spreading outward and began to surge back towards the center, several times faster than before.

Countless rays of light energy surged toward a single point at the center, creating a thunderous roar. Countless swirling specks of light coalesced into visible gales, forming a massive vortex.

The center point became brighter and brighter, and even after reaching its peak brightness, it seemed to darken.

All the energy within hundreds of meters was compressed into this one point, and then this point suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of light fragments.

Immediately, a faceless being of light appeared, its entire body rippled with surging energy, and golden arcs of electricity burst forth.

Gradually, this energy transformed into matter according to some unknown law, and Arosia's physical body reappeared, floating to the ground.

Her current energy level fluctuations have long exceeded the minimum standard for a Class B superhuman.

"How are you feeling?" Han Xiao asked as she approached.

"I can control more energy now," Arosia said after a moment's thought.

Han Xiao shook his head: "I'm not talking about that, I'm referring to other aspects."

Arosia thought for a while before frowning and saying, "I saw many—familiar scenes."

"Some of the locations in those scenes seemed to be calling out to me."

"I have a feeling that if I go to those places, I should be able to remember something—"

She stretched out her fingers and used light energy to outline many images in the air.

Han Xiao glanced at the scene and nodded slowly: "Take your time, we'll find it eventually. Let's go, let's get out of here first."

Just as the group boarded the spaceship, Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He took out his communicator, glanced at it, and said, "Ames said she received news that her teacher appeared in Norrios some time ago, and she wants us to go there to look for him."

Ames's teacher was the person Han Xiao had asked to relay a message when everyone first met Ames.

That's why Ames didn't hold the Xuanji Mercenary Group's actions on Longtan Floating Island against her back then, and instead took them under her wing.

Han Xiao glanced at the message Aimers had sent on his communicator and nodded: "Then let's go."

Norrios, located on the edge of the Shattered Ring, can almost be considered one of the gateways to the Shattered Ring, and it does not belong to any civilization or regime.

Long, long ago, an interstellar conglomerate took a liking to the geographical location of this planet and bought it.

At that time, the planet was not called Norios; it was just a numbered, desolate, uninhabited planet with a very harsh environment.

This interstellar conglomerate invested enormous resources and utilized countless devices to alter the entire planet's ecological environment, transforming it into—

7. An artificial planet that allows life to survive.

Because there are no other planets within a long distance of Norios, and the nearest jump gate requires at least three days to reach, many travelers choose to stop here after its construction to replenish their supplies.

Repairing the spacecraft.

Thus, it naturally became a transit point for entering the Shattered Star Ring.

This allowed the interstellar consortium that initially invested here to make a fortune, recouping its investment in less than fifty years.

Such a prosperous scene naturally attracted many interstellar citizens who sensed an opportunity to make a fortune.

They came here and opened all sorts of shops and businesses, making Norrios increasingly prosperous.

In order to maintain a good environment, Norrios does not tolerate villains like Rontan. Wanted posts are in effect here, and almost no space pirates or scavengers come to this place.

For safety reasons, the consortium controlling Norrios deployed a massive energy shield covering Norrios's atmosphere, located the port outside the planet, and deployed numerous escort ships to prevent any spacecraft from entering the planet's atmosphere.

All visitors must park their spaceships at the spaceport; to reach the surface city, they can only take the 10,000-meter-long elevator connecting the sky and the earth.

The Xuanji Mercenary Group parked their spaceship at the port and had just arrived at the ticket gate of the elevator when the ticket inspector suddenly smiled at Han Xiao and said, "Welcome to Norios, Black Star."

"You know me?" Han Xiao asked, slightly surprised.

"I'm just a messenger. Have a pleasant journey." The ticket inspector still had that same smiling expression.

The elevator was very spacious and could carry hundreds of passengers each time. Li Yuan and his group reached the required number of people shortly after entering.

Soon, the elevator slid off the space station along the track and sped toward the surface of Norios.

The elevator walls are made of transparent glass windows, allowing passengers to clearly see the scenery outside.

Passing through the clouds, one could see countless mobile aircraft moving in a continuous stream, and towering buildings hundreds of meters high, resembling dense steel spears pointing towards the sky.

This is a city entirely made of metal, with no natural plants in sight, yet it doesn't feel desolate. Instead, it's filled with dazzling neon colors, bustling and vibrant, a scene brimming with life.

After the elevator reached the ground, Li Yuan and his group followed the flow of people out of the station. The streets were bustling with people, all kinds of creatures could be seen everywhere, and the noise was overwhelming.

"With so many people here, how are we supposed to find it?" Melos exclaimed, looking at the bustling crowd before him.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Find an intelligence organization?"

Han Xiao nodded slightly: "That's right. In a major transportation hub like Norrios, many intelligence organizations have set up branches or offices here."

"I know what the target looks like. If he really has been here, we can definitely get clues by asking the intelligence organization."

Melos suddenly realized what was going on: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

The group walked through the streets for a while following the map's directions, and finally stopped in front of a tall building.

"This is it. The top floor is the office of a legitimate intelligence organization." Han Xiao looked at the map and nodded.

After all, it's a registered and legitimate organization, so its location is easy to find.

The group took the elevator to the top floor, where they found it dimly lit with floor-to-ceiling windows covered by black cloth, seemingly to create a mysterious atmosphere.

There was only one receptionist at the entrance, and next to it was a long, narrow corridor.

The space here should have been very spacious and expansive, but now all other areas are blocked by black walls, making it impossible to pass through.

Clearly, this layout was specifically designed to protect customer privacy.

The entire floor was divided into opaque cubicles by these black walls, allowing guests to discuss transactions in detail.

To prevent customers from bumping into each other, the passageways between these cubicles are as complex as a maze, with countless branching paths, ensuring the privacy of each customer.

"I'm here to buy intelligence," Han Xiao stated his purpose directly to the receptionist.

"Please wait a moment," the receptionist said, pressing a button on the desk.

Soon, a man in uniform came out of the corridor: "Please come with me."

Li Yuan and his group followed him into the corridor, and after twists and turns, they entered a cubicle.

"What kind of information do you want? Our organization has an incredibly powerful intelligence network, with all sorts of secrets at our disposal," the uniformed man boasted.

Han Xiao picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the table next to him and quickly drew a portrait: "This person should have been to Norrios recently. I want to know when and where he appeared."

The portrait on the paper depicts a human being around fifty years old, with a full beard, a angular face, and many wrinkles. At first glance, he appears to be an ordinary, weathered middle-aged man.

The uniformed man took the portrait, took out a device, operated it for a moment, and then nodded: "We have matching information. This is an ordinary person, and the price is only one hundred innars."

Without saying a word or haggling, Han Xiao took out his communicator and transferred one hundred innars.

After confirming receipt of payment, the man in uniform also transmitted the information.

"This person arrived on Planet Norios on an interstellar flight in thirty-eight days, originating from the Ancient Star Desert."

Starfield.

"He didn't do anything particularly unusual on Norrios; he seemed to be just traveling. His last appearance was sixteen days ago, in the southern part of City Eight."

The intelligence report detailed this person's itinerary and the last address they appeared at.

"Sixteen days ago? Is he still in Norrios?" Han Xiao frowned slightly.

The uniformed man nodded and said, "We have internal personnel at the port, and everyone who enters and leaves is registered. He hasn't left Norrios."

"That's not necessarily true—" Han Xiao remained noncommittal in response to the uniformed man's words.

He knew very well that although Ames's teacher looked like an ordinary person, he was actually a rather troublesome prophet, and not someone who could be easily found.

If he wanted to see Amos, he wouldn't have hidden himself at all; if he didn't want to see Amos, of course he wouldn't be so easy to find.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at City Number Eight first," Li Yuan said, exchanging a glance with Han Xiao.

In fact, their thoughts were quite similar.

The important thing is not whether we can ultimately find Ames's teacher, but the process of finding him.

Even if we don't find it in the end, as long as we have some clues, that will be enough to report back to Ames.

After all, even though Ames, a super A-level powerhouse, had searched for so many years, she still couldn't find it.

After leaving the intelligence organization, Li Yuan, Han Xiao, and the others went straight to the station and boarded the high-speed maglev train bound for City No. 8.

However, not long after the train left the station, a person suddenly walked towards their seats.
