Noah merely waved his hand, and a powerful psionics force surged forth, sending the Krieg soldier back to his original fortress.
The psionics entity that had replaced him there then vanished.
After completing this, Noah left a small psionics imprint on the soldier.
This soldier was the first person he had met here, so he should be protected by the federation, even if he hadn't yet granted the other party federation citizenship.
In fact, based on the information he provided and his status as the first confirmed human, he could now become a citizen of the federation and receive its protection.
Noah glanced at his small backpack and pulled out a combat robot.
The combat robot looked no different from a human, just like an ordinary person; this was due to the federation's excellent bio-bionics technology.
It was a federation TX49 model civilian combat robot, crafted from liquid metal.
As long as they weren't instantly destroyed, their liquid metal could repair any damage sustained after being injured.
This combat robot was undoubtedly a very competent bodyguard.
Although Noah had already explored this planet and found no units that could threaten him, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
Besides, he couldn't personally handle everything; there had to be someone to deal with things he didn't want to?
After the combat robot stood beside him, Noah dressed it in an outfit appropriate for the Human Imperium's homeworld.
This was an outfit for a bodyguard that he had found by searching the Krieg soldier's mind.
Although most of that soldier's memories were of combat, there was still some common sense present.
Noah now understood what language this civilization spoke.
Next, he was going to the city to see if he could obtain the intelligence he needed.
At the very least, he had to first determine his location in the universe; only then could he find the federation's whereabouts.
As for how to return to the federation once his location was determined, he naturally had a way.
Long-distance hyperspace jumps were definitely out of the question; the distance was simply too great.
It had already exceeded the distance federation warships could traverse.
At the same time, there were no Stargate routes nearby for him to use.
However, despite facing so many troubles, he could travel through the Warp.
The federation also possessed powerful Warp technology, after all, the federation had directly destroyed those five damned entities in the Warp.
Lathariel, Instrument of Desire The Chaos Goddess of Lust and Greed.
Xynarth the Flesh-Weaver, Composer of Strands The Chaos God of Flesh and Evolution.
Vor'Khal the Devourer, Eater of Worlds The Chaos God of Hunger and War.
The Choir of the Veiled Star also known as Whisperer of the Void the Chaos God of secrets and madness.
Especially that thing called the Erebus Nihil 'End of the Cycle' Chaos God of Apocalypse and Death.
As long as he could determine which sector he was in and his position in the universe, he could figure out how to return to the federation.
Traveling through the Warp would be quick.
Although the federation didn't directly cover the entire universe, with its extremely strong sentinel array clusters, the federation could still detect most locations and make general plans and directional adjustments.
And to find out his current precise location in the universe, he needed to seek out the high-ranking officials of this civilization to obtain information from them.
If the other party could also be confirmed as human, he might consider making a deal with them.
After all, once the federation fleet arrived here, these people would also be brought under federation rule, making them fellow compatriots.
"Sigh..."
Thinking of the other party being human, Noah sighed deeply; to be honest, he was a little sad.
The other party was a human compatriot; it was good to encounter human compatriots in the universe.
It was very good; he had once again rendered great service to the federation.
But precisely because the other party was a human compatriot, it cut off the possibility of him directly seizing information by force.
Otherwise, he could completely use the mechanical legion in his small spatial backpack to launch a war against the government on this planet.
Relying on the federation's civilian mechanical legion, even if the number of mechanical legions in his hand was not large, he still had the ability to defeat armies of the same level as the Krieg Death Korps he had just captured.
The individual weapons of such armies would not be able to inflict any damage on his mechanical legion.
Of course, if the opponent was so powerful that they could even defeat a civilian mechanical legion, then he could always just use the supplies he had stored to build a military mechanical legion.
After all, his previous job was a senior researcher for the federation, so he was still aware of and understood some military technologies.
However, since the other party was a human compatriot, he naturally abandoned that idea.
When negotiation was possible, it was best to prioritize negotiation when dealing with human compatriots.
Noah, with his small bodyguard, once again began to sprint.
With his genetically modified body, he quickly arrived at the place he had previously identified as a city.
As for why he didn't use various vehicles, it was mainly for concealment.
If he ran alone, he could guarantee that no one would discover him.
But with a vehicle, it might not be the case.
Using a vehicle would still create some commotion, and he couldn't yet determine the technological level of the government on this planet.
Even though he could now confirm, based on the knowledge he had gained, that the other party was very weak, as a federation researcher, caution was always ingrained in him.
The outskirts of the largest Imperial Hive World on this planet—
To be honest, when Noah saw this hive city for the second time, he still felt a bit suffocated.
No, not a bit, but quite suffocated.
He simply couldn't comprehend how anyone could call such a place a city.
The hive city before him resembled "artificial mountains" made of steel, concrete, and adamantium, towering into the clouds, reaching tens of kilometers in height, even piercing the atmosphere.
From the 3D images scanned by his scanner, he could clearly see that the surface of this hive city was covered with dense, ant-hill-like protrusions, like a metallic honeycomb.
Even though Noah didn't know what kind of architecture this was, he still named this type of building a 'hive city'.
As for why he came up with such an absurd name, it was mainly because it looked like a beehive.
And the reason he felt this thing didn't resemble a habitable city was also influenced by other factors.
For example, the hive city was shrouded in thick smoke and chemical clouds, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, with only sparse sunlight visible in the high spires.
The smoke was a mix of gray-black and orange-red, not distinct, just these two colors of smoke enveloping together, casting the entire hive city in a dim hue.
Giant chimneys and cooling towers of foundries and power stations were directly exposed on the exterior walls of the buildings, with the dark red glow of molten metal and the blue light of electrical arcs flickering in the smoke, and the roar of machinery ceaseless day and night.
Honestly, in Noah's opinion, this thing was utterly uninhabitable; it was simply an illegal, non-compliant building that must be demolished.
Who could live in there? It was simply an abomination.
Noah had originally planned to directly enter the hive city to gather intelligence.
However, he found that he couldn't seem to locate the entrance to this city.
And the various colors of industrial exhaust made him not even want to walk inside.
Every time he came to this city, he felt that it was simply something that had to be torn down.
He wished he could pull out a battleship and fire a shot at this hive city to utterly destroy it.
In his opinion, this thing was simply an anti-human existence, something that violated the Terran Federation code and must be directly destroyed.
Last time, he was only busy looking for the materials he needed and didn't pay attention to how anti-human this thing was built.
But he couldn't do that.
However, he needed to enter this city to obtain some data.
And besides that, merely from the scan, he learned that this chaotic city contained a staggering 6 billion people.
For any of those reasons, he couldn't do that.
He couldn't be sure if those people were xenos or humans; what if they were humans?
He couldn't just slaughter his human compatriots, could he?
Six billion people; this was already far more than the total population of all people on a single federation planet.
He couldn't just directly kill all the human compatriots on an entire planet.
Noah looked at the exhaust-spewing hive city in front of him, did some mental preparation, and then once again stepped into this junk-like city.
To be honest, he rarely encountered such a dilapidated place; he would just consider it an eye-opener.
