"This is impossible!! Why can those warships still move?!" Huang Yehao exclaimed in shock. "This is completely different from the test results!"
Sherry-Birkin said coldly, "The test environment was different too. There was no core consciousness of Mongar-Mongar on the Crakull planet."
"What do we do now?" Huang Yehao asked.
"We have to find the reason!" Sherry-Birkin said, immediately ordering her team to continue their work.
But all they could see was the sub-consciousness inside the container thrashing frantically, while the readings on the system fluctuated wildly, pointing here one moment and there the next.
Sherry-Birkin cried out, "No!! Judging by the sub-consciousness's reaction, Mongar-Mongar's consciousness is everywhere around us!... Wait... the sub-consciousness is pointing at... those warships!! Mongar-Mongar's consciousness is on those warships!!"
"What did you say?" Shepard was stunned.
"Those warships... every single one of them has a sub-consciousness of Mongar-Mongar!" Sherry-Birkin said, pointing at the battlefield hologram.
"Damn it..." Shepard gritted her teeth. She knew this had to be Sherry-Birkin's fault. It was one thing for her to develop Mongar-Mongar's branch consciousnesses, but she had even let one escape. That branch consciousness must have been captured and devoured by the core consciousness, allowing Mongar-Mongar to learn how to split its own consciousness.
She just had not expected Mongar-Mongar to go so far as to divide itself into tens of thousands of sub-consciousnesses!
But now was clearly not the time for blame. Shepard said, "Those sub-consciousnesses should not be fully independent. They are still controlled by the core consciousness! We need to find where the core consciousness is!"
Cold sweat began to trickle down Sherry-Birkin's forehead as well. "It'll be difficult... I think what we bombarded earlier was not the true core consciousness. The real core consciousness is now hidden among these countless sub-consciousnesses! The sub-consciousness specimen in
