Chapter 338: The Force Is Freaking Awesome! Mastering the Four Fundamental Forces of Physics!
At this moment, inside the command center of the Myriad realm Base Headquarters.
Morgan Blackhand, who had just transferred from his role as the interstellar governor in the Halo universe to become the frontline commander, was now overseeing the current multiverse unification campaign from HQ.
Under Li Ang 's appointment, he was personally leading the campaign to unify the Star Wars galaxy.
That's right—the galaxy within the Star Wars universe!
For this mission, Li Ang had dispatched both V and Morgan Blackhand. V would be responsible for coordinating affairs in the extragalactic regions, while Morgan handled everything within the galaxy itself.
As of now, V was independently assembling multiple expeditionary legions to secure the outskirts of the Star Wars galaxy, acting as a bulwark against any potential invasions from external civilizations.
Meanwhile, Morgan Blackhand had been tasked with unifying the various factions inside the galaxy.
> [Report to HQ: Our first reconnaissance corps is now entering Universe 007 – Star Wars. The deployed AI drones and recon craft are triangulating our current coordinates.]
Morgan gave a nod at the front-line update. His voice, though calm, carried a trace of fatigue.
Lately, he had been poring over every briefing Li Ang assigned, carefully studying the key points of interstellar unification and strategic planning.
When it came to the myriad factions and mysterious entities within the Star Wars universe, Morgan had practically forced himself to memorize them all.
To aid in this effort, the corporation's intelligence division even established a special internal task force to analyze Star Wars history and compile a comprehensive knowledge base.
The research was exhaustive. Staffers put in serious overtime just to dig through the mountain of lore.
Still, the lion's share of analytical work was handled by Li Ang himself. After all, he was the primary source of intelligence—someone with firsthand knowledge of the Star Wars universe.
Although the factions and characters of the Star Wars world appeared overwhelming and convoluted at first, Li Ang 's incisive breakdowns made everything click for the upper leadership.
After all, there's nothing new under the sun. These veterans—each well-seasoned in political manipulation and interstellar warfare—had no trouble wrapping their heads around the dynamics of this new galaxy.
Meanwhile, under Morgan's watchful eye, the first fleet of the Universal MegaCorp passed through the Stargate and officially entered the Star Wars universe.
More battleships and assault transports soon followed.
Inside the command center hall, Quintessa was chatting with Dr. Halsey, Chisaji Fox, and Jack Wells about the ongoing unification effort.
> "I heard there's some kind of mysterious energy in the Star Wars universe called 'The Force.' Apparently, every living being there has it."
> "Dr. Halsey, Director Quintessa—you're both experts in life sciences and genetics. What's your take on that?"
Chisaji Fox initiated the discussion, addressing the two top-tier scientists of the corporation.
Since joining the Universal MegaCorp, Quintessa had become a frequent presence in high-level councils and confidential departments.
As a full-fledged partner of the corporation, she had the authority to involve herself in any universe unification operation. Her visit to the Myriad realm Base this time was driven by a personal interest in witnessing the corporation's true might.
After Chisaji Fox question, Dr. Halsey turned toward Quintessa, who was currently maintaining her human female form.
With her noble features and elegant midnight-blue robes, she exuded the gravitas of a "Life Sovereign."
> "Director Quintessa, why don't you share your thoughts first?" Dr. Halsey offered with a slight smile.
Among the entire upper echelon of the MegaCorp's science division, no one could rival Quintessa's expertise in biological species and genetics.
Had she not been so disinterested in administrative work, she would've easily helmed the entire biotech department.
> "Recently, I heard your boss mention a concept called the 'Virtual Realm.' It's an intriguing idea," Quintessa began.
> "If every lifeform in the Star Wars universe possesses the Force, then perhaps the Force is the medium connecting the physical universe with this so-called Virtual Realm."
> "To use the Force, in that case, would be to draw power from the Virtual Realm into the material world."
Having learned about Li Ang 's past exploits, Quintessa found herself increasingly curious about the enigmatic man. When she heard about his theory of the "Virtual Realm," it felt like a light had gone on in her mind.
If that were true, then the spice found in the Dune universe—which grants precognition and supernatural abilities—might also be tapping into the same realm.
After hearing Quintessa's interpretation, Dr. Halsey chimed in with her own technical breakdown:
> "According to the boss, there's an organization in the Star Wars universe called the Jedi Order."
> "The reason their Force sensitivity is so high is due to a higher concentration of midi-chlorians in their bodies."
These midi-chlorians were microscopic organic entities within Jedi cells, residing between mitochondria and chloroplasts. They essentially served as conduits to the Force.
> "Moreover," Halsey continued, "based on my research, the Force essentially encompasses the four fundamental forces of physics. At its core, Force training is about learning to manipulate these basic forces."
She spoke confidently, clearly having devoted considerable private time to understanding the nature of the Force.
> "For example, increasing physical strength is really just enhancing molecular-level electromagnetic forces—making the body harder to damage by requiring greater energy input to disrupt the bonds."
> "Telepathy is essentially decoding brainwave signals. Mind control? That's the result of high-powered, frequency-tuned electromagnetic waves altering the brain's neural transmissions."
> "As for telekinesis... well, that can be achieved through either electromagnetism or gravity—take your pick."
Halsey's physics-based explanation won swift approval from most of the science division.
Indeed, while the concept of a Virtual Realm remained speculative and abstract, the fundamental forces of physics were concrete and measurable.
> "Now that you mention it, this really reminds me of the Daoist concept of Qi. Isn't it basically the same as the Force?" Chisaji Fox mused aloud, stroking the rough stubble on his chin. He'd clearly read his fair share of Daoist texts.
> "Perhaps it's just different paths leading to the same truth," Halsey replied. "But whether you call it the Force or Qi, it doesn't change the fact that we're unifying this galaxy."
Through her recent studies of the Force and midi-chlorians, Halsey had realized something profound: humans in the Star Wars universe were fundamentally different from their own species.
The fact that Jedi could wield the Force didn't mean everyone could follow in their footsteps.
> "If you ask me," Jack Wells interjected with a grin, "I don't care if it's called the Force or Qi—just call it 'Freakin' Awesome!' and be done with it!"
To him, all the scientific babble was a bit much. After all, the MegaCorp already had warriors who could do similar things.
Take Paul Atreides, for example.
Paul was the heir of House Atreides, the eldest son of Duke Leto, and the protagonist of the Dune universe.
He could have led a life of luxury, riding on the glory of his ancestors. But instead of sinking into decadence, he chose to fight.
After the MegaCorp unified the Dune universe, Paul joined Li Ang 's multiversal vanguard corps.
His greatest weapons? Unparalleled swordsmanship, and a body transformed by spice to wield superhuman reflexes and foresight.
Thanks to spice's unique properties, Paul could almost always predict his opponent's next move in a duel—striking just a heartbeat ahead to exploit any weakness.
It was this very synergy between precognition and swordsmanship that made Paul so formidable. With this unique skillset, he earned his place in the multiversal vanguard team with ease.
By now, Paul could confidently be called the strongest swordmaster within the Universal MegaCorp—and among all their warriors, the one who most resembled a Jedi Knight.
> "If we can fully understand and harness the Force, then yeah, I'd say it's freaking awesome!" Chisaji Fox laughed, echoing Jack's sentiment.
As the conversation continued, the MegaCorp's first expeditionary force finally emerged into the Star Wars universe after a lengthy transit.
Stars glittered in the velvet blackness of space, but this particular region looked rather barren—likely a remote star system on the edge of a larger cluster.
Inside the command center of the Wanderer-class dreadnought, David Martinez watched the feed on the holoscreen and commented with a sigh:
> "Looks like we're about to kick off another round of galactic unification. Let's hope this one isn't too much of a hassle—we need to bring this universe under control as quickly as possible."
Though he sounded calm, David knew full well from recent personnel shifts that this unification campaign was shaping up to be the toughest they'd ever faced.
After all, Li Ang wouldn't have deployed so many top-level executives to Star Wars if it were going to be easy.
> "Captain, you don't need to worry too much," said Rita.
> "With our current fleet strength, there's really nothing to fear from this universe's civilizations. Not to mention, the Falling Star Sky Spear weapon megastructure is already under construction."
After conquering Universe 006 (Transformers), the Navy had acquired a fleet of transforming warships—and even some colossal Cybertronian giants.
With planet-sized transforming war-moons and a full MegaCorp fleet firing in sync, the sheer spectacle of it was enough to inspire dread in anyone.
> "Exactly. Even if we hit tough resistance, we've got the Sky Spear, the Neutron Annihilator, and the Einstein Equator," William Cage added.
To him, the Universal MegaCorp was now virtually untouchable. And with the Einstein Equator in their arsenal, worst case scenario—they could just obliterate the Star Wars universe and move on.
After a few billion years, they'd simply reclaim the reborn universe post-reboot.
David didn't argue. Instead, he issued the order:
> "Send the Hyperion into the nearest star system for a preliminary scan."
> "Once we confirm there's no threat, the rest of the fleet will follow in."
> "To get intel as fast as possible, I'm assigning members of the multiversal vanguard team to board the Hyperion and lead the scouting mission."
By now, David, Rita, Cage, and the others had all risen to high-level administrative roles. Basic reconnaissance was no longer something they handled personally.
The newest generation of frontline vanguard operatives had already taken over—figures like Paul Atreides, Chani Kynes, and Parney Wells.
Most of these new warriors were either the offspring of upper management, descendants of noble houses, or hand-picked talents favored by top executives.
> "Bring Chani along too," Rita added. "She's been performing well lately."
David nodded. He knew who Chani was—a Fremen girl, just like Paul, from the Dune universe.
Normally, their paths would never have crossed: one, a native desert daughter; the other, a duke's heir.
But through their shared service in the MegaCorp's expansion division, they'd become close comrades. Now, the two were inseparable battle partners.
Soon, a command was issued from the flagship to the vanguard unit. Upon receiving the order, Paul and Chani exited their rest pod and headed to logistics for weapons and armor.
> "Looks like we're back to work again," Paul said as he browsed for gear. "Took us seven months to put down that rebellion in the Halo universe."
He was speaking casually, but there was a familiar warmth to his voice. Perhaps because they came from the same world, Paul always felt a natural affinity toward Chani. Their synergy in combat only strengthened that bond.
> "Let's just get this done and make it back in one piece," Chani replied, her deep blue eyes glancing toward him.
At first, she had written Paul off as a pampered noble who'd never known hardship. But after countless missions—facing death together time and time again—her opinion had changed. Their friendship had grown deeper, tinged now with something more intimate and unspoken.
> "Of course."
After suiting up, Paul and Chani made their way to the ship's military deck, awaiting further deployment orders from the flagship.
Once the scout team was assembled and armed, the Hyperion detached from the mothership and dove into the unknown void of deep space.
As a high-mobility stealth battleship, the Hyperion was perfectly suited for reconnaissance and troop transport.
Following a brief interstellar jump, the Hyperion arrived at a nearby star system.
Luckily, the system wasn't some barren, hostile frontier—meaning the odds of encountering a civilized species were promising.
That, in turn, would help expedite intelligence gathering.
The Hyperion took position on the outskirts of the star's gravitational field and began scanning the system, staying completely hidden.
Sure enough, signs of intelligent life were detected—specifically on the fourth planet of the system's orbital ring.
Seeing this, the ship's onboard AI began carrying out its orders from HQ, quietly maneuvering closer while maintaining maximum stealth.
It also detected signs of orbital satellites—clear evidence that this planet had already entered the interstellar age.
The Hyperion would have to remain outside satellite detection range, lest it trigger alarms.
This called for smaller, stealthier recon units.
As luck would have it, the transforming spacecraft scavenged from the Transformers universe were perfect for this task.
Rebuilt and enhanced by the MegaCorp's engineering division, these adaptable craft now featured upgraded cloaking systems, extreme agility, and powerful hard-light weaponry.
Receiving the green light, Paul and Chani each piloted a transformed stealth fighter, joining the rest of the recon team in silently infiltrating the planet's atmosphere.
