Chapter Twelve: A Beautiful Silhouette on the Horizon

“Weapons and equipment, huh…”

At the entrance of the Super God Academy’s cafeteria.

Hearing Ge Xiaolun’s sudden question, Reiz and Lianfeng, along with the other two, involuntarily paused, mainly because Reiz and the others were looking at Lianfeng.

Lianfeng hesitated slightly, but seeing the expectant look in Ge Xiaolun’s eyes, she thought for a moment and nodded: “Alright.”

“The Super God Academy did prepare dark alloy armor and weapons for the super soldiers. Although originally, these were meant to be distributed to you all in a few days, and some of the equipment was still incomplete.”

“But Xiaolun, your weapon and armor have actually been completed, and since you mentioned it, well…”

As Lianfeng spoke, she extended her fair right hand and summoned something from thin air.

Dark energy surged, creating two ripples of wormholes.

The next moment,

An exaggeratedly styled black metal greatsword fell to the ground with a hiss, piercing the concrete before them.

The black greatsword was as wide as a door panel, and its broad crossguard revealed a core engine pulsating with power, exuding a strong sci-fi aura.

Next to it, a brand-new, heavy metallic armor set landed on the ground. The black armor was outlined with dark red stripes, and a red five-pointed star stood out prominently on the chest plate.

Though somewhat bulky overall, the black armor nonetheless gave off an overwhelming sense of security.

Looking at these two brand-new pitch-black pieces of equipment, Ge Xiaolun, though completely familiar with them, couldn’t help but show a trace of joy and fondness in his eyes.

Dark Alloy Armor.

Void Engine Greatsword.

As exclusive weaponry and armor linked to the power of the galaxy, they held significant weight in the early to mid stages of the Super God storyline.

Under the watchful eyes of Lianfeng and the others, Ge Xiaolun did not hesitate to reach out, drawing the Void Engine Greatsword from the ground and holding it up to examine it.

The greatsword was heavy—several hundred to nearly a thousand jin (equivalent to hundreds of kilograms)—but in the hands of the third-generation divine body wielder, Ge Xiaolun, it felt quite manageable.

Seeing Ge Xiaolun’s fondness, Lianfeng smiled faintly and continued, “Dark Alloy Armor, Void Engine Greatsword—Xiaolun, these are the weapons and armor we specially prepared for you.”

“In truth, they have already established a connection with your galactic power. However, given your current situation, they are temporarily blocked by your information shield. That’s why I haven’t been able to arm you with them or integrate them into your weapon system.”

“You’ll need to study some related knowledge yourself. I’ll record the activation data for you so you can learn to call upon them through the galactic power system. You should pick it up quickly.”

“Take the Void Greatsword and play with it for now; as for the Dark Alloy Armor, let Rose keep it safe for you first.”

As Lianfeng introduced his weapons and armor, she also explained the special circumstances at hand.

“Alright, thank you, Sister Lianfeng.”

Ge Xiaolun nodded in understanding.

This was essentially why he had asked about his weapons and armor so soon.

Because back when he first awakened and entered the dark dimension for the first time, he had already seen the image of the Dark Alloy Armor equipped on him there.

However, at that time, the Dark Alloy Armor was merely linked externally and had not yet been incorporated into the galactic power’s armory.

Thus, once he activated his information shield, he was unable to summon the Dark Alloy Armor or the previously unnoticed Void Greatsword.

So he understood that there was no need to wait several more days; his armor and greatsword were already ready today.

Naturally, he didn’t want to wait; the sooner he had the armor and sword, the better.

Although the Dark Alloy Armor didn’t offer much help at present, and mastering the true power of the Void Engine Greatsword would require some study, having them early was far better than being unarmed.

Anti-void energy could suppress second-generation and below entities without much thought and had some deterrence against third-generation divine bodies but lacked truly lethal damage.

The Void Engine Greatsword, while its shell was made of dark alloy and posed no threat to third-generation or above divine bodies under normal conditions, could still physically cleave through second-generation and lower entities.

“Blue Star civilization belongs to the Old Divine River radiation culture, so its computer technology shares origins with the Divine River system. Though you haven’t studied advanced algorithms, with your current skills, you should have no trouble learning these simple activations.”

“I’ve stored the data and passwords for the Dark Alloy Armor and Void Greatsword on this computer, along with some technologies and algorithms from god-level civilizations. Once you learn them, you can activate the equipment yourself.”

“You know, this method is absolutely safe for you.”

Although Ge Xiaolun’s situation was somewhat complicated at the moment, Lianfeng patiently explained everything and carefully arranged the details.

She produced a tablet over a foot in size and, in front of everyone, input some data and algorithms.

“Alright, thank you, Sister Lianfeng.”

Seeing this, a more serious and gentle expression appeared in Ge Xiaolun’s usually bright eyes.

“By the way, Lianfeng,”

At that moment, Reiz, looking at the harmonious scene before him, thought for a moment and quickly addressed Lianfeng: “Why not directly input the academy’s permissions and relevant programs for the galactic power into the system? Let Xiaolun cross-reference them himself. This way, the boy will build deeper trust in us sooner, which benefits everyone and makes things easier.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned but then shared a knowing smile. Even Ge Xiaolun’s smile grew warmer.

“Not bad. Teacher Reiz really thinks things through.”

Without hesitation, and with Duke Ao’s distant approval, Lianfeng smiled at Ge Xiaolun and began inputting the relevant data into the tablet.

“Xiaolun, I’m uploading these data now. You can cross-check and retrieve them. Except for the angel gene sequences and some latent genes you haven’t unlocked, which are beyond my capability, I will take responsibility for any other errors.”

Her gaze was meticulous and earnest as she spoke.

Watching this scene, Ge Xiaolun felt a warm current swell in his heart.

Although he had never taken the De Nuo conspiracy theories seriously and had only the most basic trust in the Blue Star Super God Academy, seeing Lianfeng and the others take the initiative with such kindness greatly increased his goodwill.

Even though he would not fully deactivate his information protection before mastering enough knowledge and algorithms—and not even after—what they did or didn’t do was another matter.

“As for the angel genes, Xiaolun, don’t misunderstand. Due to the complex history of building the galactic power, this part is indeed beyond our control.”

“Some latent genes remain locked due to safety and civilizational political considerations, and we cannot hand all of them over to you.”

“I hope you understand.”

“But these have absolutely no impact on your control and the safety of the galactic power.”

At this time, old man Reiz was also explaining some other matters in great detail, as if fearing Ge Xiaolun wouldn’t understand.

Ge Xiaolun nodded, half understanding, though Reiz would never know that he comprehended every word completely.

“Here, Xiaolun,” soon after, Lianfeng handed the tablet to him.

Ge Xiaolun took it seriously, feeling a surge of emotion within.

This is the power of the galaxy…

Though partly due to his extraordinary performance.

Compared to many protagonists in other Super God series fan novels, his treatment would surely enrage countless extradimensional demons.

“Well then, I won’t keep you any longer. Jess and I have other matters to attend to.”

Lianfeng’s golden hair fluttered as she looked at Ge Xiaolun and continued, “Rose should be able to stay with you to help you get familiar with the academy. You can ask her any questions, or seek help from Teacher Reiz.”

“Or if you have any issues, you can contact me. The computer has encrypted communications with me, General Du, and Jess. You can reach out to any of us.”

“Well… goodbye for now.”

“Goodbye, Sister Lianfeng, Brother Jess.”

Ge Xiaolun smiled and nodded at them.

Then, he watched as Lianfeng and Jess walked away.

Nearby, Du Qiangwei helped him pack away the Dark Alloy Armor from the ground.

After this brief exchange, the relationship between Ge Xiaolun and the Super God Academy members had clearly grown closer.

The atmosphere was noticeably more harmonious.

“So, Xiaolun, what are your plans next?”

In the sunny and warm campus, old man Reiz strolled with Ge Xiaolun and Du Qiangwei, the young couple, and asked in his imperfect Mandarin.

By all rights, he actually had many things to do now and didn’t need to accompany this newcomer around the campus.

But Ge Xiaolun had surprised them too much over the past two days. He simply could not treat him as an ordinary freshman and was willing to spend more time on this child.

“Hmm… I want to learn how to use dark energy, and how to activate weapons and armor,” Ge Xiaolun answered after looking up at the sky and thinking for a moment.

According to the timeline, the angel Yan was supposed to arrive at Angel International Tower in Galaxy City today, but given his current situation, he clearly had no chance to join that event.

It was already past 8:45 a.m.

With nothing pressing to do, learning some basic super soldier abilities was the fastest way to enhance his strength.

“Good, Xiaolun, you have a well-thought-out plan,” Reiz nodded in approval.

As they talked, Ge Xiaolun followed Reiz toward the playground in front of the academy library.

…

What Ge Xiaolun and the others did not know was that thousands of meters above their heads, amidst the turbulent sea of clouds,

A silver figure with wings sprouted from her back was concealed within the clouds, watching the scene below while placing a slender, snow-white finger to her ear, her voice magnetic:

“Queen, you guessed correctly. The power of the galaxy is indeed on Blue Star.”

Her beauty was peerless; golden hair fluttering, and her enchanting phoenix-like eyes glimmered with an unusual expression.

“Oh? Let’s see if he truly deserves you, shall we?”
