Silence overwhelmed everything like a tidal wave.
All the things in front of Ron ceased their physical movements the moment that voice rang out. The dust floating in the air, the black clouds solidified in the sky, the prisoners staring straight ahead, and the three knights sitting and resting in the distance all remained as motionless as statues, exactly as they had been just a moment before.
"The Empire's reconstruction plan is in operation. The bionic community has completed the detection and basic repair work. High-speed thinking is maintained. The basic information module is about to unfold."
A blue-white screen emerged in front of him.
[
Detected that the biological energy level and psionic strength are too low. Three alien species with a biological energy level of Ⅰ have been detected in close proximity. The micro bionic community is in place, energy is abundant, and basic transformation has been automatically initiated.
Basic Information
Name: Ron
Biological Energy Level: -/Ⅰ-5
Psionic Strength: -/Ⅰ-5
Psionic Storage: 10/10 (Ⅰ)
Emperor's Heart: (Not activated)
Abilities
Emperor's Body Ⅰ (Completed): The basic biological transformation technology of the Empire, which can enhance the biological energy level to approach the upper limit of mortals. You can crush rocks with your hands, jump seven or eight meters easily, possess a dynamic sense capable of adapting to battles of the same level, have a slight self-healing ability, basic weapon usage and combat experience, as well as a basic body capable of containing psionic energy.
Psionic Pillar Ⅰ (Completed): The psionic endowment ritual that will grant you the standard psionic energy of the Empire and enable you to directly master the prepared special psionic techniques.

Ron could clearly understand the meanings of these terms just by glancing at them. The former judged the strength of the body, while the latter represented a certain mental ability that could interfere with and distort the real world.
The dash after the colon indicated that he did not formally qualify for the rating system in these two abilities before the transformation, and the Ⅰ after the slash was the strength after the transformation.
The number 5 after the biological energy level represented the level within the same level.
In the data of the Empire system, 1 represented being slightly weaker than the average level of the same level, 2 was the average value, 3 was stronger than the average, 4 was the top level, and 5 was the theoretical limit.
And Ron had already reached the strongest level of the Ⅰ order just after waking up.
Obviously, the system on his body was not a toy of an advanced civilization but the hope of survival of the fallen human Empire. Therefore, it did not stint on its energy. At the moment of operation, it had "generously" given Ron considerable power without requiring anything in return.

This was both a good thing and a bad thing.
If the system was so efficient in dealing with dangers, it only implied one possibility - its efficiency was forced by the objective situation. That is to say, the environment he was in now contained huge and frequent dangers.
Or rather, for all mortals.

Empire Equipment
Multifunctional Tactical Bracelet (Reconnaissance State): It has three basic forms: a reconnaissance bracelet, an Empire Special Type Ⅰ long sword, and a psionic focus glove. In the reconnaissance bracelet state, it can passively detect nearby threatening individuals with a theoretically undetectable technology.
Psionic Techniques
Mind Barrier: Consumes 1 unit or more of Ⅰ-order psionic energy per day. It can prevent other creatures from invading your brain.
Mind Break: Consumes 2 units or more of Ⅰ-order psionic energy. It can relieve the problem of being mentally controlled by oneself or others (it will be automatically used when being controlled).
Empire's Left Hand: Consumes 1 unit or more of Ⅰ-order psionic energy. It can heal common wounds, but cannot treat diseases or reverse death.

The Empire system was injected into his body through the bracelet. After completing this most important work, it also became a multifunctional tactical weapon. He could control and change its form through his system to adapt to various uses.
Regarding Ralph's demand for the prisoner, Ron's original plan before getting the system was to refuse. After getting the system, if he could be sure that the bracelet had no other functions, he could temporarily hand it over.
But now that he knew the bracelet was his weapon, he had to find a way to "refuse" Ralph. This was not difficult in itself, but the problem lay with the three "knights".
Reconnaissance bracelet?
As his attention shifted to the three knights in his peripheral vision, a three-dimensional image of them suddenly appeared on the screen, along with the specific information detected by the bracelet.

Blood Servant Individual 1 - Biological Energy Level Ⅰ-3
Blood Servant Individual 2 - Biological Energy Level Ⅰ-2
Blood Servant Individual 3 - Biological Energy Level Ⅰ-2
Alien Species Information Analyzed
Blood Servant:
Former slaves of the Empire, low-level derivatives created by the blood race, low-level alien species, without psionic talent. The general biological energy level is between 1-2 and 1-5. They have a low-level self-healing ability. Sunlight can effectively weaken their strength and self-healing ability. Decapitating them and preventing them from reconnecting their heads in a short time or inflicting a fatal wound in sunlight can kill them.

The data on the screen also gave him a temporary sense of reassurance. These so-called blood servants were at least not stronger than him on paper and did not possess an immortal body. If he was careful, he might not necessarily be unable to kill all three of them.
Whether it was the attitude of the girl who found him, the strange situation of these people, Ralph's claim that they were property, or the contempt and disdain in the knights' eyes, Ron had already prepared for the worst.
Ron also didn't take it lightly. He knew well that he had not yet engaged in a formal battle and couldn't accurately assess the comprehensive strength of both sides. There was a high probability that he would die here if he really fought.
Apart from combat power, everything else was also a mystery.
Where were these three knights taking them? What would be the fate of these prisoners? And why had he ended up in such a situation? All these were unsolved mysteries.
If he really wanted to take action, he could try to sneak attack and kill the strongest knight first, who was also the leader of the blood servants. But before that, he'd better first figure out why these humans in front of him were here and collect as much information about the knights as possible.
For example, what would be the consequences of killing them? What forces were behind them? Would they hunt him down? And where could he find food and a safe place to settle?
Ron got ready and stared directly at the burly Ralph in front of him, silently turning off the floating screen.
The roar of chaos arrived. The sand was flying in the air, the people were whispering closely to each other, the black clouds were churning and surging, and the knights were quietly enjoying their leisure.
And Ralph's hand was almost on the metal ring.
With a cautious mind, Ron carefully turned his wrist and, at a speed that the other party couldn't react to, grasped his arm in reverse. At the same time, he stared straight at him.
"You say you have the right to distribute these things. Then I want to ask, where does your power come from?" Ron asked Ralph, who had frozen, with a gentle expression.
