Death… And Me

Chapter 2140 The Spaceship

-Invalid Request: The system's available database does not contain any information about an item called Universe Foundation Fragment. Due to the damage and destruction of some of the ship's databases, it is possible that the desired information was lost within them.-

Even if you talk in a Universe Scale of Things, how many Universes experienced damage to their foundations? And if they did, were there any remaining fragments? It is logical that the system lacks information about Universe Foundation Fragments.

"I see..." Rean pondered for a moment before rephrasing his question. "It has been an extensive period of time. However, I believe a highly powerful item has fallen inside this ship and become lodged somewhere. Its primary characteristic is an immense output of Dark and Light Elements, which are virtually boundless. Can you identify any item with these characteristics that were not originally part of the Spaceship?"

-Searching...-

-Error: The user does not possess the necessary authority level to access this information.-

Rean, Roan, and Luan were taken aback. "Even a Sector Clearance Manager cannot request this?"

"Well, this is just a simple sector. Furthermore, this sector's primary responsibility is providing water to the surrounding sectors," Rean considered. "It makes sense that even the Clearance Manager does not possess extensive access."

Roan nodded. "Especially considering that Dark and Light Elements are directly linked to the ship's essential functions, such as weaponry, propulsion, defense, and more. Such crucial information must be kept away from those who are not involved in their utilization."

Luan had an idea. "Uncle Rean only obtained the position of this sector's Clearance Manager because there was no one else left here. In that case, what if we go to one of the most significant sectors of the ship, like the ship's control room, for instance? Since that place is likely to be abandoned, wouldn't Uncle Rean's Clearance Manager status be upgraded to a more influential position?"

Rean and Roan had to admit it was an excellent idea. "Seems like we have a plan. System, can the protocols used to grant me the Sector Clearance Manager position be applied to the ship's control room?"

-User must specify which control room.-

Merely referring to it as a control room was too general. "What was it called... Ah, right! The bridge. I'm referring to the bridge."

-That is not possible,- the system promptly replied. -The Bridge follows a different algorithm that prevents unauthorized individuals from obtaining high-ranking positions. To be granted such authority in this Spaceship, the user must be recognized by the Lingan Universal Army and hold the position of First Sergeant or higher.-

Indeed, being in charge of a simple water supply and assuming command of an entire Spaceship were two entirely different matters. "Being recognized by the army and attaining at least the rank of First Sergeant..." Rean glanced at Roan and Luan. "To be honest, I have no idea about the various positions within the army."

"That is irrelevant," Roan dismissed the matter. "Instead, we need to determine if it is possible to obtain such a position here on this ship. System, can any of us become a First Sergeant on this ship?"

-Yes. In exceptional cases, the Sergeant Major or a higher-ranking officer can assign a noncombatant individual a pseudo-First Sergeant Position. This position will be revoked within a year, regardless of circumstances, unless an extension is granted. However, the extension cannot be provided by the same officer and must be approved by the Lingan Universal Army's high-ranking officials.-

Roan shook his head. Obviously, they had no way of acquiring such a position here since there was no one left. "Forget it.".com

Rean understood that taking control of the Spaceship was out of the question. "System, does my 4B Clearance Level grant me access to all sectors of the ship?"

-No,- the system responded. -Users with a 4B Clearance Level can only access sectors with equivalent clearance levels.-

"What types of sectors are designated with a 4B access level?" Rean inquired immediately.

-Minor Life-Support and lower-level sectors within the eleventh Region of the Spaceship.-

"Spaceship's Region?" Another piece of information emerged, prompting them to seek further clarification. "Could you provide a detailed explanation of the Spaceship's Regions?"

-The Dimensional Yin Yang Spaceship consists of a total of twelve regions, designed to prevent an individual with control over one region from causing disruption in the others. The Command Center Region is the only region with authority to influence the others.-

Roan nodded approvingly. "This prevents potential traitors from sabotaging the entire Spaceship. At most, they would be limited to their own region. For instance, the Dimensional Thrusters are likely located in two or three regions rather than a single one."

-The user is correct. The Dimensional Thrusters at the rear of the ship are situated in regions ten, eleven, and twelve.-

"What is the highest position within a region other than the Command Center?" Rean asked.

-The highest position is the Region Manager.-

Rean shrugged. "Let me guess, it is also not feasible for my 4B clearance to be upgraded to a Region Manager's position unless it is an exceptional circumstance like the bridge that you mentioned before."

-The user is correct. The Eleventh Region houses one-third of the Dimensional Thrusters. The Eleventh Region Manager must hold the rank of Sergeant or higher.-

"So many regulations..." Luan sighed in frustration.

Roan, however, shook his head. "Considering Rean's Clearance was already upgraded like this, it was already a miracle. If all sectors functioned in the same manner, it would be a highly flawed organization. The possibility arose because this sector holds little importance to the overall ship."

"What should we do then?" Luan asked. "The Soul Gem System cannot locate the Universe Fragment. This ship is not only as vast as a small continent in the Realm of Gods but also comprises numerous floors. In a sense, it may be even larger than the immense continents."

Roan narrowed his eyes, contemplating the Cryogenic Chamber. "Seems like we need a guide..."
