In the previous chapter, Dr. S asked Yu Tian about his experiences, and the two of them inadvertently got into a discussion about magic across various topics.
"What? Has it really been so many years? How can you, Doctor—" Yu Tian stared at Dr. S in disbelief. It was truly strange; this old man wasn't even a magician, yet he had managed to survive in such a polluted environment for so long. Could it be that he had taken some kind of elixir for immortality?
"How can your memory be so poor! Have you forgotten how you ended up in the black hole? Did you all die during those two hundred years?" Dr. S looked displeased; he really didn't want to mention death. Thinking about Yu Tian's current situation made him feel sorrowful. He actually remembered many things about magic; he knew all of it. But he didn't want anyone else to know; he had to keep a secret.
Speaking of Dr. S, he was a mythical figure just like Yu Tian, with no background to trace. It seemed as if he had appeared out of thin air. However, on a planet with a population exceeding trillions, it was impossible for everyone to be registered. Therefore, Dr. S was not regarded as an alien, especially since he didn't have an impressive entrance like Yu Tian's. If it weren't for that helicopter pilot being sent to a mental hospital and that kid named Qian not saying much while maintaining a good relationship with Yu Tian, Dr. S would have been completely reliant on his studies to gain admission to the Cosmic First University Research Institute. Later, due to his outstanding performance in solving the factors of the freezing system, he became famous overnight and entered the Galactic Technology Headquarters.
In this era, government-run institutions were referred to only by their functions, such as military headquarters, technology headquarters, and medical headquarters. Only private enterprises had names, like Sunshine Bar.
"Oh! So you've been freezing yourself like a fish; I thought you invented something for extending life! I will never sit in that machine again; two hundred years without dreaming means I could have lived several generations in my dreams, gotten married multiple times, and had a bunch of kids. Being called 'dad' must feel great, haha!" Yu Tian seemed a bit too carried away. "If there were magic for self-hypnosis, I would definitely create the most beautiful woman in the universe to be my wife—"
"What about Lin?" Dr. S's expression turned peculiar; the person before him was nothing like the old Yu Tian. He used to be arrogant and irritable; now he seemed like a rogue one moment and serious the next.
"Lin! She is the most beautiful in the universe! Doctor, you must help me bring her home!" Yu Tian's demeanor was quite slick, leaving Dr. S shocked.
"Yu Tian, I don't know what you've been through that has changed your personality so much. You used to fear me; now I'm starting to feel a bit scared of you—" Dr. S interrupted Yu Tian before he could speak again and continued, "—Don't interrupt; let me finish! Lin is already at your home waiting for you to return. We even warned her: 'That Yu Tian idolizes Snow Wolf; you're walking into a wolf's den!'” Dr. S wore a playful expression as he wanted to see if this Yu Tian would fall for it; otherwise, he would really start questioning his identity.
"What? You dare say that? Did you really say it? If Lin didn't go because of you guys, I'd make you pay!" Yu Tian's tone dropped sharply.
"No, no! Look how anxious you are; I'm just worried about you! Back then, I took such good care of you! Treated you like my own son, but now this kid can yell at me—what a change in times!" Dr. S pretended to look innocent and pitiful while occasionally glancing at Yu Tian with his old eyes.
"How can you say that? Although I am a member of the divine race, the entire divine clan is on the verge of being wiped out by those from the demon realm. What kind of king is that! Just a useless waste!" Yu Tian spoke with a heavy tone, gritting his teeth as he spoke. His black and white combat outfit accentuated a certain dominance about him, a kind of aura that Yu Tian was unaware of but was very familiar to Dr. S. That presence made those who encountered it feel an urge to submit.
"It seems that the old God of Black Holes has already lost!" Dr. S said in a low voice, not as if he were speaking to Yu Tian, but rather to himself. Anyone observing this scene would also be puzzled as to why Dr. S would speak this way. He only had the codename S; no one knew his real name or background, including Yu Tian.
"Hey! Kid, can you explain some principles of magic?" Dr. S quickly adjusted his mindset and asked calmly.
"Introduce magic? Don't you read the chapter on the principles of magic written by the author? It should be quite detailed," Yu Tian replied with a smile, shaking off his previous negative emotions and quickly becoming sunny again.
"What chapter? How would I know?"
"It's in the related works! It's quite dismissive of the author's efforts not to read that chapter. Sigh—"
"Alright! I'll check out 'Interstellar Hades' when I have time!" Dr. S chuckled; the author was pleased to have found another reader, thanks to our host Yu Tian for bringing in a study companion.
"Let's put aside the matter of magic for now! So, Doctor! Is there any significant change now? Solar System." Yu Tian's expression turned serious again, wondering how his comrades Reynold and Jason were doing. He also thought about the martial artists who used to be under his command and whether their abilities had improved.
"Not much significant change! A hundred years ago when I was thawed, I discovered a substance that could completely cut off gravitational waves. Fifty years later—our Cosmic Headquarters launched another spaceship, capable of traveling four times the speed of light; that black hole is only one hundred fifty-two light-years away. They should be arriving soon!" Dr. S fiddled with a floating small ball on his desk, shaking it continuously. It seemed to be made from the substance he mentioned that could cut off gravitational waves!
"Another spaceship has been dispatched; what if something happens? Also, why are the current spaceships still so heavy?" Yu Tian reached out to touch the spinning small ball and felt a surge of Magical Energy flowing into his body. He snatched the small ball and rubbed it in his hands; Dr. S was quite fond of this young man and wouldn't mind at all. Even if he did mind, given Yu Tian's current state, he might still resort to force against him.
"There's no need to worry; this 'Black Hole No. 2' spaceship is newly equipped with Solar Nuke and materials that completely cut off gravity. As for why today's spaceships are still so cumbersome, it's because even with materials that can cut off gravity, they affect each other and cannot exist in large quantities. Therefore, they cannot be applied widely. However, that's also because I haven't awakened for several decades; now that you're here, it's time for me to start working," Dr. S sighed deeply as his eyes followed a spaceship moving outside the window.
"But think about it—if they fall into the demon realm and are ambushed by thousands of powerful magical beasts, what will happen?" Yu Tian found it hard to imagine how his people would face such formidable magical creatures.
"What I don't understand about magic, I still believe in the power of technology. This time, we have dispatched members of the Anti-Violence Squad and the CRB Group's Cosmic Warriors." Dr. S held a firm belief in victory. Despite years of research, he had yet to grasp the principles of magic, but it was the might of technology that truly captivated him; otherwise, this old man, who should have retired long ago, wouldn't still be here doing this.
"The Anti-Violence Squad and the CRB Group have both sent personnel. By the way, Doctor, what happened to my original partners, Jason and Reynold?"
Yu Tian finally asked the question. Whether he would be satisfied with the answer remained to be seen in the next chapter.
