Protection Mechanism
Having made up his mind, Su Luo didn't hesitate at all. He carefully manipulated the wisp of Divine Power that had probed into the sphere of light, gently touching it towards the surface.
A sudden change occurred!
The connection between that wisp of Divine Power and Su Luo's physical body was instantly severed as if by a "blade" beyond comprehension!
Without warning, without process, without the possibility of resistance, it melted away completely like ice and snow under the sun, permanently losing all contact and feedback.
Even before Su Luo felt the excruciating pain caused by the damage to her soul, she had already reacted instinctively.
Whoosh!
The air around him suddenly exploded, and he was like an arrow shot from a powerful bow, instantly smashing open the heavy special metal door. In a flash, he appeared at the end of the passage a hundred meters away, leaving only an afterimage in his place.
After stopping, he carefully observed the situation inside the Laboratory from a distance.
There was no explosion, no energy out of control, and even the test subject's vital signs showed no abnormalities.
After observing cautiously for more than ten seconds and confirming that there were no further abnormalities, Su Luo slowly walked back to the Laboratory door.
First, a physical examination was conducted. The Superpower overflowing from the test subject's soul was rapidly decreasing, the drastic transformation of the body was nearing its end, and the Awakening Ritual was about to be completed.
Su Luo once again separated a wisp of Divine Power, even more subtle than before and prepared to be discarded at any time, to probe into its spiritual world.
The sphere of light had almost completely merged into the deepest part of the soul's Origin, just a little bit more away.
The probing Divine Power was instantly erased.
Su Luo began to ponder what this mechanism was.
A protective mechanism that safeguards the superpowers of those with Superpower, whose power far exceeds the expressiveness of the Superpower themselves.
The test subject awakened a Class B Superpower— [Berserk].
Forget Spell; Su Luo's strength of 11.2 is enough to slap a test subject with Superpowers so hard they wouldn't recognize their own mother.
It's clear that the performance of a Class B Superpower isn't particularly impressive; at least Su Luo could handle it with ease.
But even under these circumstances, Su Luo's strongest Divine Power was instantly destroyed.
The ball of light displayed a level of power far exceeding its usual capabilities in that instant.
Two scenarios.
One is a certain mechanism, a protective mechanism shared by Superpower Orb.
Secondly, the Essence of each orb of light is beyond imagination; the power contained within is far more complex than the surface-level Superpower. What is usually displayed is only the tip of the iceberg.
In fact, both situations may exist simultaneously.
The Awakening Ritual was completely over. The test subject awoke from the excruciating pain and looked at Su Luo pitifully with fear in his eyes.
Su Luo released him and arranged for a proper funeral...
No, arrange high compensation for them.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Su Luo slowly walked towards her Laboratory, opened the panel, found her chat box, and started sending herself a message.
This is his "notebook".
The Superpower Orb emerged in an unknown form and automatically guided to the Origin the soul for deep fusion, a process tentatively named "Nesting".
The process of Nesting involves a profound and targeted modification of the host's body and soul, tentatively termed "Infestation."
Su Luo had observed several Superpower of similar strength, and their bodies were "Infestation" in different directions.
Measurements suggest that the difference in the direction of "Infestation" is not due to individual differences among those with Superpowers, but rather to the differences in Infestation Superpowers themselves.
In other words, the Superpower Orb "Infestation" the Superpower, making them more suited to their Superpower.
The direction of modification is highly correlated with the Superpower's characteristics, aiming to maximize the host's compatibility with that Superpower.
Body... and soul... have completely succumbed... and transformed into the form of the Superpower being...
The body and soul of the Superpower have been assimilated and reconstructed to some extent by the orb of light, becoming a vessel for that Superpower. Their form of existence has deviated from the original human standard and become extraordinary.
Awakening of Superpowers is the first "Infestation".
The increase in the strength of Superpower is also easy to understand.
Each time Superpower uses their Superpower, the energy emitted by the light orb is mostly used for immediate effects, that is, the release of the Superpower.
A small portion is used for "persistent Infestation," fine-tuning and strengthening the host to enable it to withstand higher energy output, resulting in an increase in strength.
The deeper the "Infestation," the more energy the Superpower Orb outputs in a short period of time, and the stronger the Superpower becomes.
Higher-level Superpower Orbs can naturally output more energy, and the Awakening Rituals of higher-level Superpower are more extensive, resulting in stronger initial strength and faster power advancement.
"A very interesting model..." Su Luo tapped her finger to close the dialog box. "Efficient, enforced, and with strong path dependency. If there's Future need to rapidly mass-produce a specific type of cannon fodder, this is a highly valuable template."
After finishing his notes, he arrived at the door of his Laboratory. Just as he was about to open the door and begin his experiment, a clear yet familiar voice called out to him from behind.
They just don't want me to conduct experiments...
Su Luo turned around expressionlessly and looked at the person who had called out to him.
The one who called out to him was none other than Di Yubing.
She stood in the soft light of the passageway, her posture upright, her temperament still aloof, but her eyes seemed to hold a hint of something more indescribable.
"What business does Your Highness have with me?"
"Mr. Su, some of our people have already successfully condensed their own Mana through [Meditation]."
"Oh, I see." Su Luo nodded, not surprised. In the rich and powerful environment, with theoretical guidance, it was only a matter of time before the first success story emerged.
He turned around again, ready to open the door.
"And he has mastered Basic Spells such as Fireball, Ice Arrow, and Earth Collapse Spell..."
"Ah?!"
Su Luo turned around instantly.
What is it?
Did I stumble upon a peerless genius?
The Mana Conversion Device was built in less than half a day, and he's already Meditation on Mana and learned so many Spells?
It was like they were utterly crushing the Survivors in the Land of Darkness who couldn't even master the Fireball.
Could it be something dirty?
"If Mr. Su doesn't believe me, he can come and see for himself."
"Lead the way."
Di Yubing led Su Luo to a dedicated testing ground. The ground was empty, with only some equipment and no one else in sight.
"Where is he?" Su Luo asked Di Yubing.
"It's me."
Di Yubing spoke softly, took a few steps forward, stood in the center of the field, raised her hand slightly, and slowly released an unstable fireball as the sparse Mana within her body circulated.
It drifted away unsteadily, its flight path slightly skewed, but it eventually crashed into a human-shaped target.
Boom!
With a soft bang, the upper half of the target was blown off and carbonized, leaving only a charred half of the pillar emitting blue smoke.
Immediately afterwards, Di Yubing raised his hand again, and the temperature around him plummeted, filling the air with a chill. A sharp-edged Ice Arrow, gleaming with cold light, quickly condensed and shot out with a "whoosh," accurately hitting another target and piercing it instantly, sending ice shards and wood chips flying everywhere.
After casting the spell twice in a row, the already meager Mana in her body was completely exhausted. Her face was slightly pale, and her breathing was a little rapid, but she simply turned around and looked at Su Luo.
"How about it?"
They even asked how it went.
Did you open it?
