Chapter 64: Live Sacrifice (Part ?) (1/2)
Chapter 64: Live Sacrifice (Part ½)
The Human-Faced Arachnid was revolting!
Luo Nan was suddenly furious and the dark chains shook to forcefully rein back in the Human-Faced Arachnid. The chains hummed with its vibrating cry and the flaming clouds that surrounded the Human-Faced Arachnid collapsed and dispersed. The arachnid hissed and screeched. It was clearly suffering.
Luo Nan’s anger slightly dampened from the miserable reaction of the Human-Faced Arachnid. It seemed that his control over the arachnid was still effective. He then thought of how this fellow had just saved his life and his heart softened a bit.
Besides, what was the point of getting mad at this unintelligent fellow that only relied on its instinct for its behavior?
Luo Nan was baffled. The Human-Faced Arachnid had always listened to him ever since the dark chains had shackled it. And the arachnid didn’t overstep its actions with Rui Wen before. Why did it suddenly go out of control?
Luo Nan needed to think this question over very carefully.
Jack rode the high-speed elevator, walked through a dedicated passageway, and reached the fighting arena at this time. But he didn’t directly show himself in public. Instead, he entered the VIP box and met with the contact; they didn’t speak of anything important during this time.
So Luo Nan concentrated his energy to think over the issue with the Human-Faced Arachnid.
Communicating with the unintelligent Human-Faced Arachnid could be said to be an extremely strenuous undertaking. It couldn’t directly tell Luo Nan what it was thinking, so Luo Nan could only search for connections to the problem within the arachnid’s chaotic mess of data all by himself.
His current analysis of the Human-Faced Arachnid, according to the flexible e-ink screen, was only at 2%. In other words, 98% of the arachnid’s data was just mumbo jumbo.
To find things that could be understood from this mumbo jumbo, and useful things at that, was truly…..
Uh, what’s this?
Luo Nan’s soul body rippled slightly. He was startled by a moving image that suddenly shone into his eyes.
The video was some external data that the Human-Faced Arachnid had absorbed beforehand. Frankly speaking, Luo Nan was just shocked for a moment before he rapidly came to a conclusion. This was a whole body image of the structure of a human body with several machine components mixed inside. This specimen…… was none other than Jack!
Luo Nan probed into the mysteries of Jack’s body with the help of the Human-Faced Arachnid, concentrating most of his energy into Jack’s brain activity and just casually glancing over the other parts. But Luo Nan never expected that the arachnid would actually record Jack’s entire body and use methods incomprehensible to Luo Nan to form an integrated video.
A scene as if shot from a movie was displayed in front of Luo Nan’s eyes.
The time frame of the scene was set when the arachnid had appeared. This was when Jack unleashed his Format of Fire, right before the arachnid was completely exploded away!
And so Luo Nan could see a myriad of thin threads splitting from the Dynamo Core and penetrating through veins and nerves. The threads extended through Jack’s entire body, unfurling open to form a complicated yet complete infrastructure in an instant. Every source of energy in Jack’s body, be it flesh or machine, were all integrated into this infrastructure and were being transformed.
In the next moment, Jack was like the embodiment of a super control chip of a precision device. The location, the specific timing, and the amount of force to exert were all coordinated flawlessly. It was because of this that the internal forces from the high-speed integration didn’t damage his body in the first moments. Instead, he stayed on the dangerous border where the closely woven fiery electrical power was successfully transported back to the location of the nucleus and the Dynamo Core.
The Dynamo Core lit up under the convergence of high energy. The lightning, which had been flickering unstably on the mental plane, turned lustrous and dazzling. The energy in Jack’s body completed with an inconceivable change in nature at this very moment. In other words, the energy had crossed over from the plane of reality to a different dimension; it had entered the mental domain.
Ignition successful…… NICE!
Luo Nan’s soul body suddenly spun a circle in the air to calm down his excited mood. He didn’t know what was the difference between this ignition method and that of the typical Burner, but this was still the first time he saw the entire ignition process of the Format of Fire.
Even if the true core procedure wasn’t revealed…… The Dynamo Core should be the key step in completing the energy transformation process. But this was fine. Having this piece of concept and reasoning was already priceless.
It didn’t matter if it was Quantum Corporation or some other colossal power, the line of research behind their Burners were all laid bare to Luo Nan.
Luo Nan thought about how Quantum Corporation had spent ten painstaking years and trillions of credits in investments to have this project become a success and Luo Nan felt the deep pleasure of revenge.
The problem was…… His revenge wasn’t over!
