Space Wonder

A Space Wonder is any phenomenon in the Cosmos that directly defies scientific or magical knowledge, and is unique and can't be repeated, the term "Space Wonder" ("Cosmic Wonder"), is a catch-all term used to describe phenomena that even advanced technology from the Universe Grade Civilizations, cannot explain.

## Introduction

“*That’s everything for theory on explaining the new creatures. The theory that I don’t get is the Space Wonder that no civilization can understand.*” - Cpt. Kerlodd, Godoran Galactic Investigator **Ch 312**

## Han Xiao

Han Xiao is the first and best example of a Space Wonder phenomenon as he is both a player and an NPC, combining the benefits of both. He has also Transmigrated 10 years into the past, and therefore carries with him a vast store of knowledge inaccessible to anyone else in Galaxy. This alone earns him the moniker "foreseer", for he is able to interpret events in the present using information from "the future". His actions based on this information making him a very powerful force as he rises up in the world of Galaxy.

As a "player" without a level cap, Han Xiao can display a growth potential inaccessible to any other individual in Galaxy, despite lacking talent that would empower him. The quest and rewards allow him to continuously accumulate abilities from other NPCs in Galaxy as he overcomes various trials, continuously growing stronger with no real upper limit to his strength.

As an NPC, Han Xiao is in a unique position allowing him to use "experience" from players, a currency inaccessible to anyone else, and only he can use experience provided from players to grow stronger as an individual. His unique perspective as a former player allows him to position himself to make the most benefits from players, as well as give the best benefit to players (as he knows specifically when and what they need). This profiteering targeted at players makes him an enigma to other NPC's in Galaxy.

## Players

Players are a relatively new, and poorly researched phenomenon in the world of Galaxy. They are distinct because they are immune to death, their bodies being reconstructed immediately after death. And despite the daily limit of 6 deaths per day, there is no practical limit to the number of times players can die in Galaxy, earning them the name "Undying Legion" or "Immortal Legion".

Players are a unique phenomenon in Galaxy that cannot be expressed by any normal means. There is a communication barrier between players and the NPC's of Galaxy, whereby anything they said that is not related to the game becomes garbled (and only Han Xiao can listen to this information). The illogical actions of players, performing acts that none of the NPCs would think of or emulate, has led the NPCs in Galaxy to assume there is something wrong with the minds of players.

By Edition 4.0, several rules governing the players had been surmised by the various organizations, including "Sorokin" (owner of the Unlimited Consortium). These include, but are not limited to:

1. Players will always choose the faction with the most benefit.
2. Players have no emotional attachment to their actions, this being displayed by the emotionless massacre of their enemies.
3. Players cannot be understood by conventional means, and cannot be directly controlled by any means accessible to even the Universal Grade Civilizations: they are fearless of death, and can disappear at will.
4. Players can communicate among themselves in a manner inaccessible to the Universe grade Civilizations, nor can it be controlled or limited in any way. (The "Forum" is only accessible to players, and Han Xiao is the only NPC able to view it).
5. Black Star, and the Black Star Legion has a unique attraction to the players (called "Undying" or "Indestructible").

## Evolution Cube

The Evolution Cube is the first material Space Wonder that Han Xiao collects for himself. The Evolution Cube is a Space Treasure, a device with a power and abilities Beyond A Grade.

The Evolution Cube is a unique artefact in Galaxy, as it is capable of evolving and improving the Genetic Material of any biological lifeform, of any level of complexity (from ordinary lifeforms, up to peak Beyond A Grades). This fact alone made it a coveted treasure in the universe of Galaxy.

It originally is in the exclusive use of the Star God's Pupils Race, led by the Beyond A Grade Psyker, however, EsGod (another Beyond A Grade) is able to rob it from Psyker, and it eventually falls into the hands and control of Han Xiao (Black Star).

After the capture of EsGod, additional uses are found, including the Evolution Totem and the Aberration Badge, which make the Evolution Cube a strategic Space Treasure coveted by all three Universal Grade Civilizations, as well as other Beyond A Grades. However, Black Star is able to maintain sole ownership and control over the Evolution Cube, and eventual remains undefeated among the Beyond A Grades who seek to possess it for themselves.

However, he opens access to the Evolution Cube, and the Evolution Totems, to any interested party willing to pay for the benefits. This reduces friction between him and the various fluences desiring it.

The Evolution Cube is the biggest single source of income for the Black Star Legion by Edition 4.0.

## Spacetime Amber

This Space Treasure was a unique Space Treasure that was not constructed by the indigenous Civilizations of where it was found, but instead, it descended from space from an unknown source. It once was treated as Holy Object by this civilization.

In the previous timeline, Ravenlaud a Beyond A Grade ally of Scarlet Empire, was the first person to discover it, by later died due to the attack of a Beyond A Grade who coveted it. In the current timeline, Han Xiao spearheaded its discovery and maintains monopoly over it. He has successfully used it to capture several Beyond A Grades, including EsGod (a peak S-Grade super).

### Effect:

"According to the material of Han Xiao's previous generation, the Spacetime Amber created a type of amber-like time-space entity, that sealed its target.The object that Spacetime Amber seals is then isolated from reality, as if it exists in a different space that time will neither advance nor retrocede, displaying an effect like freezing time-space.

However, according to common sense, a lifeform that is wrapped in the Spacetime Amber should not change, like an unlimited lifespan in a sleep cabin, thinking should also be frozen... according to the NPC description (from Han Xiao's previous generation), after the Spacetime Amber package, they are not able to control their body, and energy is unable to penetrate the amber.

Consciousness, in fact, can still move within the Spacetime Amber, and even can observe changes through their eyes/ears/senses, and can also sense the passage of time. But it seemed like they were stranded in their body, this became a paradox in the common sense , and thus was regarded a Space Wonder.

Only when held captive in the Spacetime Amber for too long would their thoughts start to stagnate, and eventually cease. This was a death of the spirit soul and stronger individuals could persist for longer. "

## Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device

It is a space treasure owned and used by the Federation of Light. It is capable of creating a channel through a higher dimension, that can bridge across space, creating a wormhole that is immune to space-stabilizing devices.

The Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device does not have direct combat ability, but serves a strategic purpose as it is able to transfer fleets across regions while ignoring space-stabilizing devices (that may interfere with quantum-leap drives, or skills and magecraft that involve space-shuttling: such as Han Xiao's void travel, or mages' teleportation).

## Soul Transferrer

The Soul Transferrer is a unique Space Treasurer originally belonging to the Modo Civilization (later captured by Black Star and given to Feidin). It is a unique space treasure that does not require Beyond A Grade level strength to use, but instead requires a special talent as a Psychic. In the Modo Civilization, out of 2 billion people, only the "Soul Transferrer Twins" were found capable of using it. The exact requirements are unknown as after testing between 4 people, Feidin was found capable of wielding the Soul Transferrer.
