Chapter 646 - 0541’s Plan (1/2)

After lightning, a powerful wind came in like a storm. After that, the earth or rather, the ice around her began to shake violently. Everything around her was turbulent and it did not stop there. The area of the devastation was expanding by the second and Jiang Fei was only able to escape with 0541 directing him. The catastrophic event lasted for 2 hours and Jiang Fei had to move 5 kilometers away.

After the storm had ended, Jiang Fei returned to the origin, where Phoenix's body laid motionless. Even though she had caused all the destruction, she was lying on a block of ice, floating in the frigid cold sea. She looked calm and peaceful, like a sleeping beauty.

"0541, can you explain her death?" said Jiang Fei. It was only then when he realized that everything that happened to her was unexplainable. How could she, a Level 5 ultimate Metahuman could die by her own hands?

"Her death was already determined," said 0541 with a heavy sigh.

"Determined? By who? Who caused that?" asked Jiang Fei without expecting an answer.

It was said that Level 5 Metahumans were so powerful that they could find ways to extend their lifespans by up to a thousand years! However, that only applies to a natural Level 5. Phoenix was originally just Jenny, a normal Level 3 Metahuman. If there was someone to blame, it was the Japanese. They had toyed with things that they did not fully understand. They had only touched the surface of Planet Namek's technology and made an imperfect Level 5 Bio-Human.

Phoenix may appear powerful, but the energy that was injected into her was killing her slowly. It was only due to her powerful determination, that she was kept alive, till now. That was why she sometimes lost her powers and Jenny's memories came surging back into her mind.

0541 explained that Phoenix had died by her own hands. There were so many things that were happening at the same time and it proved too much for Phoenix to handle. First, she had conflicting personalities inside her mind. Just as she could hold onto her own conscience, she was barely able to hold the false power that was inside her. As soon as both consciousnesses were gone, there was nothing holding back the power that did not belong to her. At that moment, everything went out of control. Right now, she was dead. Both Jenny and Phoenix.

"I shall give her a proper burial," said Jiang Fei as he picked up Phoenix's cold body.

"Captain. If I may. You must not waste such a precious specimen!" said 0541. He wanted to make use of Phoenix's body since she had offered herself to Jiang Fei.

The truth was that 0541 could have saved Phoenix before she gave up the will to live. However, 0541's thinking was different from regular humans. It was without emotions. 0541 had only prioritized the survivability of its captain. At that critical moment, 0541 decided to allow Phoenix to die since it could make good use of her dead body.

However, if 0541 did not stop Jiang Fei from burying Phoenix, 0541 would have lost the body of a Level 5 Metahuman! Not only did Jiang Fei lose a powerful trump card, but 0541 would also lose that body of hers to make a Level 5 Bio-Human!

"I will NOT allow you to use her as an ingredient!" Jiang Fei roared from the top of his lungs.

"Captain, I never said anything about using her to make anything!"

"Whatever, I'm sure you are going to use her to make something else," Jiang Fei snarled.

"Captain, did you forget the main purpose of finding the Main Engine of Braveheart?"
