Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 521 - 6: Genetic Modification

It’s no longer safe here.

Su Ziyu thought about it for a moment and decided to temporarily retreat, as he had just arrived at this plane and wasn’t very familiar with everything here.

Currently, it’s still in the intelligence gathering stage, and there’s no need to immediately get involved in conflicts with native forces.

"There are the Insect Race and the Human Empire."

"This planet is quite lively! I wonder if there are any unknown races!" Su Ziyu’s figure quietly retreated.

The Empire Guard Knights have already taken over the underground base.

Shortly after Su Ziyu retreated, a team of Knights charged straight into the deepest part of the underground base, confronting a middle-aged man with two small mustaches sitting in an office, "Count John! You have been arrested!"

"You are suspected of violating imperial law by stealing national secrets! Unauthorized research into mind transfer technology! Suspected illegal human modification!"

"There are a total of sixteen charges against you!"

"Please come with us."

A pile of thick charges was tossed over.

The Count John, sitting on the golden chair, stood up rather agitatedly, glanced sarcastically at the document before him, and said, "You have no idea what’s happening!..."

"Everything I’ve done is to save our planet!"

"I want to see the Empress!"

The lead Knight, dressed in navy blue armor, said expressionlessly, "The Empress is busy with state affairs, the Minister of the Interior will handle your trial."

"Take him away!"

Meanwhile.

In a vast plain area.

Su Ziyu’s figure appeared on a towering peak, slowing down a bit after retreating over a hundred kilometers from the underground base, starting to tally up his gains from this trip.

In terms of items, he gained quite a bit this time, but the only really useful one seems to be a Light Saber, while the others are bionic transformation enhancement items, which he is unlikely to use personally, but he could consider bringing them back to the Wasteland Plane in the future. However, during today’s battle, Su Ziyu’s Spiritual Skill Tree expanded quite a bit, as the spiritual ability system in this world is quite unique, focusing more on controlling abilities rather than offensive ones.

But this is also very normal, since with various advanced weapons of great power, they don’t need to pursue offensive power in terms of spiritual energy; just controlling the enemy and then using firearms to settle everything works perfectly.

——"Mind Paralysis: Uses unique spiritual fluctuations to paralyze the target, rendering them completely immobile. Enhancement consumes 2 Source Power Value points."

——"Mind Blindness Pulse: Uses unique spiritual fluctuations to damage the target’s visual nerves, causing large-scale blindness to enemies. Enhancement consumes 4 Source Power Value points."

——"Mind Dizziness Pulse: Uses unique spiritual fluctuations to attack the target’s brain nerves, causing large-scale dizziness to enemies. Enhancement consumes 6 Source Power Value points."

The first is relatively ordinary, single-target paralysis, not very useful in many situations.

But the last two are very useful, particularly in a plane where firearms are widely used; a large-scale blindness pulse directly makes people blind, rendering the firearms in their hands ineffective.

Su Ziyu’s Spiritual Enhancement Level is high enough, estimating that not many can resist his blindness and dizziness.

Boom!

Just as Su Ziyu was tallying up his gains, a sudden explosion several kilometers away was heard.

"A battle?" Surprised, Su Ziyu flew up.

In his field of vision, a flying pod billowing black smoke was crashing down, while further away, several dazzling energy beams appeared.

"Is it the Empire’s people?"

"Are they pursuing the enemy?"

Su Ziyu casually enhanced his ’Mind Invisibility’ ability, then headed towards the site of the battle.

Da-da-da.

The sound of fierce gunfire was heard.

Seeing it up close, Su Ziyu chuckled, as those being pursued turned out to be Rebel Army members, who should have retreated long ago.

This small team of Rebel Army seems to have been running too slowly.

By the time they fled, the Empire’s army already reacted, making escape impossible now.

"Deliver the item!"

As Su Ziyu quietly approached, five or six people in exoskeleton power armor were crawling out of the crashed pod, with the leading man’s helmet already damaged, exposing a silver half-skull that seemed to have undergone extremely unique bionic transformations. He held an electromagnetic rifle, handed a sealed box to someone nearby, and signaled to others, "Let’s distract the Empire’s forces!"

"Jan."

"You’re the only one among us equipped with a Spiritual Amplifier."

"You must take it back to the base. It’s crucial for our fight against the Empire."

After speaking, the leading man took a group in another direction, presumably intending to divert the Empire’s pursuers.

The person in light blue exoskeleton hesitated for a moment, then picked up the box and turned to flee northward, moving swiftly with an exoskeleton slightly different from the others, resembling a scout type.

What is the item?

Seems important to them?

Su Ziyu, hearing the distant rushing sound, ignored those attracting the enemy and directly pursued the one escaping with the item under Invisibility.

Boom.

A violent explosion sounded elsewhere.

In Su Ziyu’s vision, a silver-gray armored Empire Knight was advancing, with a distinctive external device on his helmet, paused briefly before chasing the solo fugitive.

——"Dizziness Pulse!"

At almost the same moment the Empire Knight caught up, Su Ziyu made his move.

Rumble.

A blinding lightning bolt flashed, causing the silver-gray armored Empire Knight to plummet from the sky.

Splash.

"So weak?" Su Ziyu was slightly surprised.

Having only fought with Holy Blood Rose before, he assumed all Empire Knights were strong, but it now seemed Holy Blood Rose was a specially enhanced exception.

——"Light Saber (High Tier Rare Item)."

A light blue Light Saber without genetic lock was acquired, Su Ziyu examined the opponent’s completely damaged armor and charred corpse, thinking, "Thunder Strike is indeed lethal to them."

"Unfortunately, it can’t be used in closed environments."

——"Mind Paralysis."

Already taking action, Su Ziyu didn’t hesitate and froze the person ahead.

Curious about what important item the Rebel Army obtained that they valued so much, willing to risk anything to send it out.

"No!"

"It’s a High Tier Spiritualist!..." Jan was somewhat despaired, stiffly frozen, watching the strange man appear and take the secret core away from his hands.

The box contained a special storage chip.

"System, hack." Su Ziyu’s eyes flashed with a light.

In the next instant.

A vast stream of data appeared in his mind.

——"Super Alloy Bone Enhancement [Biological Transformation Technology]: Reinforce bones with nano super alloy, implanting advanced material into the bone structure, making bones almost unbreakable."

——"Biological Muscle Enhancement [Biological Transformation Technology]: Inject protein complex into muscle tissues, significantly increasing muscle density, reducing lactase recovery time, comprehensively enhancing physical endurance and recovery capabilities."

——"Thyroid Catalytic Implantation [Biological Transformation Technology]: Implant synthetic thyroid into the target body, stimulating bone and muscle regrowth, breaking ordinary humans’ physiological limits."

——"Superconducting Fiber Nerve Tree [Biological Transformation Technology]: Replace human nerve tissues with superconducting fiber nerve tree, enhancing target’s reaction speed by 300%–500%, moderately improving intelligence and memory abilities."

——"Second Heart [Biological Transformation Technology]: Implant a second bionic heart, accelerating blood flow, significantly enhancing combined abilities."

A long list of data emerged in Su Ziyu’s mind.

Scrolling through Su Ziyu’s read information, there were a total of twelve biological modification technologies, covering bones, muscles, nerves, heart, brain, and more parts, essentially transforming a person entirely. Unlike replacing parts with bionic limbs, the biological modification techniques recorded were more advanced, using the human body as a framework for super biological transformation, not merely swapping in bionic components.

This is the gene modification technology tree of the Space Marines!
