Meanwhile, at the Athena Star Gate.

Although the Spirit Detective was lost, the bureaucrats here had already scrubbed all records of the incident, pretending as if nothing had happened.

A communications officer was working as usual, browsing celebrity gossip on her wristband.

Suddenly, the wristband’s virtual screen flickered, then went completely dark. It could no longer connect to the Star Gate’s data terminal.

She thought it was just a problem with her wristband, but then the communication she was handling was forcibly terminated. A voice, cold to the extreme, rang in her ear: "This is the Law Enforcement Corps. I am Corps Commander Thun. The Athena Star Gate is now surrounded by the Law Enforcement Corps. All communications are to cease immediately. The Governor’s authority is temporarily transferred to me until this is over."

The communications officer’s eyes shot wide open.

The Legions were the Federation’s most powerful military force, reporting directly to the Supreme Power Committee.

The thirteen Legions possessed the ability to strike and maneuver across light-years. Among them, the Law Enforcement Corps was synonymous with cold-blooded ruthlessness, having destroyed hundreds of Star Gates.

She instinctively tried to notify the Governor, but a beam of light shot down from above, piercing right through her location. It vaporized her, her workstation, and the three colleagues beside her.

Similar beams of light appeared one after another across the Star Gate. Tens of thousands of communications officers, for making the slightest move, sent themselves and their nearby colleagues to their graves.

"I repeat, the Law Enforcement Corps represents the laws of the Federation and is a symbol of its authority. For the sake of our mission, all of you are nothing but tools in my eyes. Do not resist. We have a zero-tolerance policy for resistance."

The stellar lasers were also strictly sealed at this moment. All permissions on the Star Gate had been restricted; not even a single small ship could leave.

This high degree of information technology granted the Federation absolute control over the Star Gates within its territory.

This top-down power structure meant that even the Governor here was merely a lapdog of the Federation, incapable of making any waves.

A few minutes later, the flagship descended from the sky, landing inside the Governor’s Mansion.

A man in a military uniform, led by three guards, walked into the Governor’s Mansion and met with the station’s Governor.

Raising a hand to cut off any pleasantries, Corps Commander Thun asked directly, "Where is the Spirit Detective?"

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the Governor replied cautiously, "I don’t know."

A laser beam shot down, instantly burning a black hole through the Governor’s head. His body collapsed limply to the ground.

Turning to the Governor’s secretary, Thun asked again, "Where is the Spirit Detective?"

Staring at the Governor’s corpse beside him, the secretary quickly dropped to his knees and shouted, "She’s gone! She was kidnapped by the crew of the Long Range! They have a Level 5 Superpower User on their ship! Even the stellar laser couldn’t destroy them!"

"Why wasn’t this reported to the Federation?"

"Because..."

A laser shot down, piercing straight through the secretary.

Pinching his nose, the Corps Commander gestured. The armed soldiers immediately sprang into action, beginning a ruthless purge and suppression.

Corrupt bureaucracy had taken root here. That an act with the potential to undermine the Federation’s rule was carried out so brazenly was something Thun could not tolerate.

He sat down in the Governor’s chair. Hundreds of officials dispatched from the Central Star System immediately began taking over the local database.

With the support of their powerful wristbands, they quickly sorted through most of the work, further optimizing the administrative structure until it was even more efficient than before.

The previously deleted records were recovered, allowing Thun to understand what had happened.

However, a portion of the records was clearly problematic, yet it couldn’t be restored no matter what they tried.

Looking at these records, Thun said, "That’s enough. This is likely beyond our capabilities. Have Miss Computer handle it."

A soldier at his side nodded and transmitted Thun’s order.

Aboard the Law Enforcement Corps’ command ship, inside a cell constructed from nine layers of plastic, a young girl was listlessly playing with a ball.

She looked to be only sixteen and was very pretty, but she didn’t have a single strand of hair. A string of numbers was tattooed on both sides of her scalp.

This string of numbers indicated that she was a Superpower User.

The entire room was devoid of any metal. The girl didn’t even have a biological chip in her body. This was to prevent her from generating electromagnetic waves and finding a way to escape.

Finally, the outer door opened. An officer in a plastic isolation suit walked in and placed a wristband in front of the girl.

"Miss Computer, you have a mission."

A rubber ball hit the officer in the face. It didn’t do much damage, but combined with Miss Computer’s middle finger, the insult was immense.

Unfazed by her provocation, the officer said flatly, "Upon completion, you will receive one strawberry shortcake per day as a reward. However, if you don’t cooperate, even your last toy will be confiscated."

Miss Computer glared at the officer but ultimately took the wristband with a sigh of resignation.

The wristband had been specially modified, with most of its functions disabled. Still, Miss Computer treated it like a priceless treasure. Through the device, she converted her consciousness into a communication wave and plunged into that clamorous, colorful world.

According to the Federation’s classification system for Superpower Users, a Level 1 Superpower User was someone who could slightly interfere with Energy, such as gathering ambient heat to start a fire or reducing heat in a specific area to create ice.

A Level 2 could interfere with Energy within a hundred-meter radius, allowing them to resist gravity, create an Energy Shield, and so on.

A Level 3 could already interfere with reality itself, such as distorting matter in a certain area to turn water into oil.

Starting from Level 4, there were no longer uniform classification standards, but they generally involved strong interference with reality or other unique types of abilities.

Level 5s were masters of the rules of reality. They could withstand almost any attack, and no weapon could harm them in the slightest.

Miss Computer was a Level 4 Superpower User.

Her Superpower allowed her to upload her consciousness, convert it into a communication wave, and become part of the entire universal communications system.

Because of this ability, all passwords were useless against her. As long as someone left a record in the communications system, she could see it, no matter how thoroughly it was deleted.

Her only weakness was that she still depended on her physical body to live. If her body were destroyed, she herself would perish.

Having returned to her state as a communication wave, the girl followed the officer’s instructions and began tracing the events that had occurred at the Athena Star Gate over the past few days.

Duan Someone, who resisted a stellar laser with his bare hands...

The Missionary of Love, who kidnapped the Spirit Detective...

The Shadow God, who could draw a black blade from his hand and wreak havoc...

And Little Fatty, who blocked all the information from being seen by others...

A pile of information was compiled, ultimately forming a report that was delivered by the officer into Thun’s hands.

Looking at the report, Thun nodded and said, "A rebel army of Superpower Users? Their destination is Azure Star? No matter what, they must not be allowed to reach it."
