Chapter 1155: To the Moon (1/2)
When Nina took over, the medical pod started working better and faster at stabilizing Isabella. Nina was a better energy provider since she was a true Level 5 Metahuman. Not only did she have a bigger energy pool, she could also draw power from nature itself.
Seconds after she took over from Ariel, Ariel dropped to the ground, drenched in sweat. She quickly limped to the side of the room to rest and recover. Her usual pinkish cheeks were now as pale as a sheet of paper. Powering the medical pod had taken a large toll on her.
“0543, how is she?” Jiang Fei asked. Even though Isabella was not writhing as violently as before, Jiang Fei could not relax, not when 0543 actually gave him her word that Isabella was completely fine.
“All life signs are stable but based on the current energy input, we would require more energy or else…”
Jiang Fei did not bother to listen. He knew what would happen if he did not give what 0543 asked.
“How could this have happened?!” Jiang Fei croaked. It should not have been this way. How could fusing with a Core be this bad? He had absorbed the power of the Core of Will albeit there was a small mishap but it had not been this bad. Isabella was fused with the best Core one could fuse with in order to survive! The Core of Life shouldn’t be killing her!
There was literally nothing Jiang Fei could do then. He was only a Level 4 Metahuman. Even though he could fight a Level 5 enemy, the energy pool inside him was extremely limited. He was weaker than Ariel when it came to providing energy!
In no time at all, Nina started to black out. At this moment, Ariel had only recovered roughly 30% of her energy. She could take over but it would be over in a flash.
“Sylphy! Help me!” Nina cried desperately.
“Me?” Sylphy stuttered. Of all the females that stood by Jiang Fei, Isabella was the one woman that she could never get along with. Sticking her neck out for Isabella was not something she would willingly do.
“Sylphy, please! I’m begging you!” Jiang Fei pleaded.
“Alright… I’ll try…” Sylphy agreed albeit unwillingly. She was only helping out as Jiang Fei himself begged her. If she stood by and let Isabella die, Jiang Fei would never forgive her.
After having her position taken over, Nina quickly joined Ariel to recover her strength. Unlike the once graceful Saint of the Light, Nina did not bother to even sit dignified. There was no time to get comfortable as she dropped to the ground and sat with her legs crossed.
Even with Sylphy taking over the task to provide energy, Jiang Fei was still uneasy about the entire thing. Isabella was still sucking in energy like a black hole. No matter how much Nina, Sylphy, and Ariel poured in, it was simply not enough for Isabella!
Nina and Sylphy had lasted much longer than Ariel but even so, Sylphy had reached her limit. Right then, Ariel, who had only recovered about 50% of her energy, forced herself to take over.
“Fei, this cannot last. Although we could cycle through the three of us, there would not be enough time between resting periods. In only a few cycles, all of us would not be able to provide any more energy for Isabella!” Nina explained whilst panting, trying to catch her breath.
Jiang Fei blanked out for a moment before he gained his resolve. Determined to help Isabella, Jiang Fei paced toward Nina and Sylphy and said, “Stay strong, I’ll be right back.”
