"You want energy, huh? Fine, I'll give it to you. Let's see how much you can absorb."

With his world turned upside down, Cole decided to go all out. There was no turning back now.

"Everyone evacuate the medical bay. Concentrate all the energy from the Stellar Furnace here."

As the order was given, the Taotie soldiers began the modification process with great urgency. To prevent Yuan from dying from energy deprivation during the transformation, all the energy fluid was poured into the medical bay.

The medical bay? No, it should be called a Light Energy Pool now. As the warship's Stellar Furnace's energy was channeled in, Yuan's body underwent a seismic transformation.

"Ding! Dark Energy Erosion weakened: Gene Chain exhibits quantum coherent state, cells begin to oscillate between dimensions.

Telomerase activity is abnormal (regeneration speed reaches 900% of normal value).

Mitochondria have mutated into radiant energy.

White Blood Cells are devouring radioactive isotopes."

Cole's bloodshot eyes reflected on his faceplate, his hands gripping the observation deck railing tightly.

Through the thirty-centimeter-thick lead glass, he thought he heard Yuan roaring in the Light Energy Pool—what spewed from his festering throat wasn't sound waves, but quantum noise that ionized the air into plasma.

Yuan's body, immersed in photonic fluid that had turned into liquid energy, now resembled the remains of some interstellar beast. The technician's biological scanner emitted a mournful wail:

Mitochondrial DNA: Photon stream forcibly welds fracture points, forming a three-dimensional energy nexus.

Gene Chain Fracture Speed: Rapidly decreasing!

Dark Energy Erosion Concentration: Rapidly increasing!

Dark Energy Erosion: 67% → 41%

Photon Conversion Rate: 0.003% → 0.9%

"The Gene Chain fracture speed is slowing down!" the medical officer suddenly shrieked. "The photon stream is repairing the telomeres!"

"Energy Pool output power overloaded by 300%!" The technician's fists dented the control console. "His Gene Chain is devouring photons! The speed is too fast."

"Excellent. Supply it at full power, regardless of the cost." Seeing that the situation seemed to be improving, Cole waved his hand, disregarding all expenses.

The Taotie were too naive. They had no idea how surging the Dark Energy was that Yuan's radiation-mutated genes were unconsciously mobilizing.

In fact, even the Taotie warship's Stellar Furnace operating at full capacity could only provide a minimal buffer.

Thus, an anomaly soon occurred.

"Officer, the seventh cooling system is overloaded!" The technician's hands seemed to want to strike sparks on the control console. "Core temperature has reached 120 million Kelvin (exceeding the core of a Blue Supergiant)!"

Yuan was submerged in the boiling photonic fluid, fluorescent blue patterns appearing beneath his decaying skin.

Each pattern grew amidst the collision of Dark Energy and Light Energy, spreading across his body like a living circuit board.

A god of the Divine River Civilization once said that as long as probability exists, under the vastness of the universe, there will always be miracles, incredible miracles.

Yuan now seemed to be creating an unprecedented miracle.

The technician's electron microscope displayed:

"Right arm crystallization rate has exceeded the critical threshold!" The medical officer roared, slamming the emergency stop button, only to find Yuan's bones oscillating between quantum state and physical form—a sign of Dark Dimension erosion breaking through the three-dimensional barrier.

The intermittent bad news made Cole's expression extremely grim. Worse still, they couldn't supply all the ship's energy to Yuan.

If they did, not only the gravity system but their entire warship would likely be captured by the planet's gravity.

As he thought, Cole's eyes grew redder, and a desperate idea filled his mind.

They were on a small Taotie warship, with limited energy reserves. They couldn't afford to pour it all into Yuan, this bottomless pit.

But there was a young star in their current galaxy. He wanted to see if Yuan could drain that too.

"Move the warship closer."

Hearing Cole's inexplicable command, countless question marks appeared above the Taotie soldiers' heads.

"Activate the backup energy and move the ship to the star's vicinity. Run the detection systems at full speed, calculating the safe distance the warship can withstand."

"Yes, Officer."

Following the path and distance calculated by the warship's central computer, the Taotie quickly reached a suitable location. The system then began operating the energy collectors as per Cole's instructions.

Cole's eyes were seared by the star's glare, oozing purple bodily fluid, yet he stared intently at the hellish scene outside the observation window—the warship's twelve energy collector wings plunged into the star's corona.

A crimson plasma torrent surged through the alloy conduits, pouring into Yuan's body like a scarlet dragon.

"Energy transfer rate has exceeded the critical threshold!" The technician's hands moved futilely on the control console. "The seventh and ninth conduits are beginning to crystallize!"

Cole ripped off two overloaded mechanical tentacles and jammed the broken ends into the backup energy interface: "Dismantle the energy generator! Divert all energy to the energy collection matrix!"

However!

"Alert! Alert! The warship is experiencing an unknown gravitational field, and local gravitational fluctuations are rapidly increasing.

Local Gravitational Fluctuation: 9.8m/s² → 173m/s² (continuously rising)"

As soon as the warship entered orbit, the medical officer detected the anomaly.

The direction of gravity in the Light Energy Pool where Yuan was located suddenly reversed. The six fixing bolts were pulled out as if by an invisible hand, forming a regular dodecahedron structure suspended in mid-air.

"Officer! The third engine compartment has a Kronecker Crack!" the observer's voice was choked with tears.

"That's... the beginning of a wormhole?" The medical officer furiously pulled up the gravitational wave spectrum, hundreds of closed time curves weaving around Yuan.

While operating the instruments, he cursed, "This damn Divine River Body, he used overflowing dark energy to create a powerful gravitational field, and now wormholes are about to appear around our warship."

"All gravity detectors have failed!" The operator's hands frantically hammered the console. "The direction of gravity inside the cabin changes 17 times per second!"

"Local gravitational constant anomaly!" The operator brought up a holographic model, revealing hundreds of gravitational singularities around Yuan's body.

"Now our warship feels like it's fallen into a wormhole nest, and we could face unknown things from the other side at any moment. Officer, what do we do now?"

"Shut down all non-essential systems!" Cole ripped out three emergency energy conduits. "Connect the backup fusion core to the light energy pool!"

"The source of all this is that Divine River Body. As long as his genes calm down even slightly, we can escape this danger."

As a steady stream of energy was injected, Yuan began to emit an unprecedented brilliance.

The radiation-mutated genes within his body seemed to be like parched land receiving sweet rain, greedily absorbing the high-purity light energy.

"Damn it, why isn't it done yet?"

"Gene Chain Entropy: -1.7×10^44 erg/K.

Quantum Entanglement Dimension: 9→17. Officer, the target's vital signs are stabilizing."

Cole hadn't even had time to celebrate the good news before he heard the roars of the Taotie soldiers.

"Gravitational fluctuation has exceeded the detector's limit!" The technician's faceplate exploded from data overload. "He's rewriting the local cosmic constant! The gravitational field has gone berserk."
