Chapter 2142 What Sensors?
Fortunately, the teleport platforms weren't far from the Cryogenic Chambers. In less than an hour, the twins had already arrived in Chamber 13R. A door opened in front of them, and they were met by a searing wind due to the air pressure inside that chamber being completely different from the previous room.
However, there was no fire. It was just that the cooling system in the area had completely failed. Many of the pieces of equipment had already fried up, causing even more heat to accumulate since the auto-regeneration system kept attempting to fix what was beyond repair. That definitely didn't help in a place where cold should be used all the time, like a cryogenic chamber.
Nevertheless, the twins had little time to contemplate the situation as Luan sent them a Divine Sense Message from behind. 'Father, Uncle Rean, retreat!'
Without hesitation, the twins immediately used the Enhancement Skill and Shadow Steps to vanish from the entrance, leaving behind only two afterimages.
*Ziu, ziu, ziu...*
Suddenly, three laser-like shots, compressed of Dark and Light Elements, passed through the twins' afterimages, creating holes in the walls behind them. The twins had exerted all their power to damage the structure of the Spaceship, so one can imagine the strength of those lasers to have achieved such damage in a moment. Of course, the walls began to repair themselves immediately.

Rean and Roan reappeared by Luan's side, nodding at him. "Well done, Luan. Although we probably wouldn't have died, there is no doubt we would have been seriously injured."
Luan smiled bitterly. "I only had enough time to warn you. I saw with my eyes that at the end of the corridor, there were three points that suddenly charged a huge amount of Divine Origin Energy, as well as Dark and Light Elements. It was similar to the weapons outside the Spaceship, but much more concentrated."
"They were designed to be used inside the Spaceship, after all," Rean added. "Moreover, I was using my Light Bending Skill when we opened the door. Clearly, the sensors inside the Spaceship are not solely optical. Otherwise, the weapons system inside wouldn't have been able to detect Roan and me."
Roan pondered for a moment. "Perhaps it also employs thermal sensors?"
Rean could only speculate. "Most likely. Apart from that, it could be using Divine Sense, but my Divine Sense Bending skill didn't detect anything interfering with it. It definitely isn't a soul power scan either."
Luan stated the obvious. "Could it be that this ship can also utilize natural spatial detection?" As everyone knows, if someone in the void tempering realm or above is close enough to you, nothing can hide from beings at similar levels. It feels as if there is a black hole inside their perception ranges due to the natural displacement of space caused by such experts. The higher the cultivation, the stronger this 'black hole' effect becomes.
However, in a place like the Spaceship and its surroundings, where space is stagnant, even Natural Spatial Perception is heavily affected. Even the twins couldn't see more than a few meters away from themselves, just like Divine Sense. Even Soul Power Scan was no exception in this place.
"If there's one thing we know, it's that this ship's system isn't affected by its own spatial measures. If the weapons system inside can truly utilize Natural Spatial Perception—if you can call it 'natural' at all—then Rean and I certainly can't hide from it," Roan concluded.ReadNovelFull.com
"That's not all," Rean continued. "This is undoubtedly a highly advanced system. It might be equipped with other types of sensors like those back on Earth—magnetic sensors, ultrasonic sensors, pressure sensors, and so on. Who knows? It might possess capabilities similar to Luan's eyes. The mere fact that we occupy a space within the air around us is already detectable."
Roan found it hard to believe. "Considering the state of damage inside, I doubt there are that many types of sensors functioning. Let's start with the thermal approach."
Without delay, Roan enveloped himself with his Divine Origin Energy, equalizing his body temperature with the surroundings. Remember that the fused energies are stronger but cost a lot more, so they used only one type whenever possible. Rean did the same. In the next second, it became impossible to discern any temperature difference as the twins' bodies harmonized with the ambient heat. Although the air was hot, the twins, at their cultivation level, had no trouble tolerating such conditions.
Rean then employed his Light Bending Skill once more, making them disappear from sight. Finally, they cautiously approached the entrance again while Luan kept a keen eye on the corridor. 'Not good! Retreat!'
This time, the twins were even more prepared, instantly vanishing from the entrance before another three laser salvos passed through the space they had occupied just moments ago. They reappeared by Luan's side, wearing grim expressions. "It's not only thermal and optical..."
Just as the twins contemplated whether to risk evading the lasers and targeting the weapons at the rear, Luan provided them with an insight. "I noticed something different this time, Father, Uncle Rean."
The twins looked at him, puzzled. "What is it?"
"The direction the lasers were aimed," he explained. "They didn't attempt to hit your vital points."
"This..." Rean and Roan pondered the previous attacks and had to acknowledge Luan's observation. "Indeed, both shots were aimed precisely at the center of our bodies. It would certainly cause significant damage, but they didn't target the heart, dantian, or head."
At that moment, Rean had an idea. "Then there are two possibilities. Either the weapons system doesn't recognize beings like us and simply aims for the center mass, or it consistently aims there regardless of the target. It could also be due to my Light Bending Skill, preventing it from targeting vital points."
Roan understood Rean's line of thinking. "Are you suggesting we create a false center of mass?"
Rean nodded. "Exactly." Immediately, Rean accessed the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and retrieved several materials, using his Divine Energy to shape them around his body. "If this theory is correct, the lasers should aim for my left side next time."
