Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 559 - 39: Space-Time Guardian

Deep within the underground base.

Empress Isabella was secretly observing Su Ziyu's facial expressions, speculating about this man's preferences, when suddenly a sharp alarm sounded from the base's defense system.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Unknown high-intensity energy entity detected!… Unable to analyze target presence!…"

"Initiating thermal imaging scan!…"

The alarm from the base made Empress Isabella's expression change. After suffering continuous setbacks, she now resembled a startled bird, involuntarily moving closer to Su Ziyu, solemnly saying: "Something's happening outside!"

"Most likely other Void Life Forms!"

Su Ziyu did not clarify but withdrew his gaze from the Void Battery, slowly saying: "Let's go out and have a look."

"Wait a moment!" Empress Isabella quickly opened the cubic crystal in front of her and took out the Void Battery from it. As the Void Battery was removed, the blue glow around them dimmed significantly.

A cold electronic voice sounded: "Energy source has been removed, activating backup energy source."

"Backup energy source can only maintain normal base operation for 24 hours."

Why remove the Void Battery?

Perceiving Su Ziyu's puzzled gaze, Empress Isabella explained: "There is a spaceship in the base that can use the Void Battery."

"It cannot stay here now."

After speaking, Empress Isabella quickly walked out and fiddled with an instrument in front of her for a while. Soon, a humanoid silhouette appeared on the projection screen, so vague that its features couldn't be discerned, nor could the gender be identified. Only a cluster of golden light and a pair of massive wings unfolding behind were visible.

"Is this?... An angel?..." Empress Isabella's expression was extremely shocked, as she had never seen such a life form before.

However, the Empire's inheritance of the Space Marines includes Holy Blood Angels, and there are quite a few similar records of such imagery.

"Is the Space-Time Guardian coming to support us an angel?" Su Ziyu wasn't particularly surprised, observing for a while before saying: "The target doesn't seem hostile."

"Let's go out and take a look."

Empress Isabella hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded, saying: "Alright."

However, instinctively, she fell half a step behind Su Ziyu, closely following behind him.

All along, she has been the esteemed Her Majesty the Empress, but after stripping away that layer of identity and facing a greater crisis, she realized she's not as fearless as imagined. At least at this moment, the man in front provided her with a sense of security.

She even forgot that she had once been captured by him.

After all, Su Ziyu did not truly harm her, and even saved her life, helping her stabilize a collapsing mind. If the man had any faults, it would be his greediness, as he stripped away her equipment during their first meeting, sparing not even her personal nanomaterial superconducting combat suit.

"Hello." Just as Su Ziyu reached the door of the base, a gentle female voice echoed.

This voice sounded directly in Su Ziyu's mind, seemingly completely ignoring his Mind Protective Force Field.

Strong.

Very strong.

Extremely strong!

Su Ziyu's spirituality seemed to sense a blazing torch, enough to shake the spirits of others even though it was restraining its aura.

Within sight not far away.

A beautiful female with white wings, clad in interlaced gold and red armor, slowly descended. She smiled at Su Ziyu from afar, her gaze landing on Empress Isabella, raising her eyebrows with a slightly puzzled look.

"There's a scent of malice on her." The beautiful woman, who seemed to be an angel, showed a hint of unintentional pride, not arrogance, as though she was a high-ranking presence.

Su Ziyu did not speak but replied with mind sensing: "Are you the Space-Time Guardian?"

"Me? Space-Time Guardian?" The beautiful angel with flowing golden hair chuckled, shaking her head: "I'm not."

"I'm merely his friend."

"Strictly speaking, he's considered my guide, mentor, helping me find my past."

Upon saying this, she paused to explain: "The Space-Time Guardians are temporarily unable to enter this Crystal Wall Element. They sent me to assist you through this crisis."

After speaking, the golden-haired angel unfolded her right hand, smiling: "Lord Stephen sent me with a gift for you."

"Please come closer."

Su Ziyu hesitated slightly but soon flew forward. After all, if he couldn't trust the Space-Time Guardians, he truly would be fighting a lone battle.

Empress Isabella seemed to want to reach out and stop him but then realized Su Ziyu might know the other party.

She cautiously approached, transmitting: "Who is she? An angel?"

"There doesn't seem to be such a race in the universe?"

"I have never heard of angels truly existing!"

There shouldn't be angels in this Crystal Wall Element; the Holy Blood Angels' Genetic Warriors are merely a conceptual form, not true angels.

"Don't worry." Su Ziyu slightly reassured Empress Isabella, then stopped in front of the angel.

Soon.

A strange halo appeared in the other's palm, followed by mysterious runes emerging, transforming into an invisible sphere of energy roughly fifteen centimeters in diameter. As Su Ziyu's gaze landed on it, the Space-Time Monitor System instantaneously generated a massive stream of data.
