Chapter 2779: Chapter 927: Family, Please Cast Your Precious Vote to Support Murphy!
As the former core management AI of Eden District, Eden still possesses a considerable degree of control over facilities under the creator’s system after going through millennia of ups and downs. Although this AI has undergone some indescribable "iteration upgrades," making it vastly different from a thousand years ago, permissions are definitely not something that simply vanish due to upgrades.
Thus, when it entered the main control system of the solar ship, this guy easily completed self-authorizing from the system, and incidentally, granted Sir Murphy the highest authority obtainable without actual verification.
This allowed Murphy to move freely within the solar ship. He navigated with power armor through the corridors of cabins that were tilted due to the crash impact, and at every connection point, if the doors were still operable, they would automatically open for him.
This VIP treatment directly stunned His Highness Hu Fu and General Bopal, who were trailing behind.
What...
This vampire can wander all over their ship without even swiping an identity? How ridiculous is this!
Isn’t this just like that yellow-faced woman who treats her own husband with disdain suddenly fawning over another handsome man, and damn it, right in front of her spouse!
Is this bearable?
General Bopal, feeling like he had been cheated, already clenched his fists, driven by a man’s instinctive anger.
Prince Hu Fu was equally incredulous.
After all, as the heir of the Sanghai Empire, he needed to wear an identity-marked badge at all times to move freely through the cabins of the solar ship. Yet Lord Murphy had been on the ship for less than five minutes, walking with such ease as if returning home.
Could it be, he is truly the chosen of the legendary Creator God? Naturally endowed with a "favor" granted by the creator that others can only dream of?
No wonder he can mock the self-claimed status of the Sanghai people as the creator’s most beloved children.
"You’ve had the solar ship for over a thousand years, right?"
Murphy, following Eden’s guidance and heading quickly towards the solar engine location, suddenly asked:
"Haven’t you ever discovered a sealed cabin above the engine compartment?"
"Of course we did, Vampire."
General Bopal was not particularly friendly towards Murphy, but he read the extraordinary nature of the man from his incredible actions on the solar ship. Facing Murphy’s inquiry, he murmured:
"We Sanghai descendants may not fully comprehend the knowledge bestowed by the creator, yet we have always explored with humility, never daring to slack off. However, the solar ship has not been used for military purposes until one hundred years ago during the critical Fourth Black Disaster. That was when we first initiated solar bombing to disperse the Black Disaster brought by the King of Bone Biting.
It was also then that our technicians discovered that hidden place while maintaining the solar engine after the battle.
Many soldiers have speculated about what secrets might be stored there. Unfortunately, despite our efforts—even inviting the Pharaoh King himself to verify—we still could not unlock its self-seal.
The authority of that object is independent of the ship’s main control system. Even I, with the identity of a captain, cannot shake it in the slightest. Its material is even different from the entire solar ship, and we’ve attempted physical breach, but the Empire’s conventional military power cannot damage it at all.
"Naturally, such dangerous things must be strictly guarded."
Hearing that the Sanghai people have not entered the God’s Scepter’s launch platform, Murphy let out a breath and nodded.
He was not worried about the Sanghai people discovering the secret of this thing. Without a launch key in hand, they could not activate God’s Scepter anyway. Murphy feared this bunch of amateurs might mess around and break this thing. Under the present circumstances, that would be catastrophic.
"So, what exactly is this ’God’s Scepter’?"
His Highness Hu Fu asked for the second time, saying:
"We are already close to it, Mr. Morphy. You cannot let us proceed with doubts, like a group of ignorant beings surrounding a silent wise man, placing us in such an embarrassing situation—isn’t it too undignified?
You are, after all, a person of identity."
"Moreover, you are on our ship. We have the right to know whether this hidden thing poses any threat to the Empire’s safety."
General Bopal added.
Murphy glanced back at the two and then at Guard Captain Sonnik, who stayed close by Prince Hu Fu. He replied:
"I am not intentionally being mysterious, gentlemen. I have only read about the existence of this weapon in a few classics left by the creator. To be honest, the situation over in Moss Valley is dire. An evil god has been born into the material world, which is an extreme scenario. I came here with a mindset of trying to activate this legendary power, to carry out an unplanned turnaround."
"So, God’s Scepter can be used to strike against the Divine Spirit?"
General Bopal immediately widened his eyes.
Murphy shook his head and explained:
"No, it is a physical weapon. It cannot be launched onto a battlefield in subspace unless your ship also enters that battlefield.
In general, God’s Scepter is merely a land-based weapon. If it weren’t for The Master of Hunting being repeatedly humiliated and enraged, resulting in losing wisdom and stepping into the material world, we also can’t use such a weapon to attack him.
