Endgame Armor Activated!
The Seventh Collapse Entity, the Soul Armor, is the greatest treasure of this underground research base.
Clearly, Xiao Yuanjun did not heed the Black Prince's advice back then. Not only did he fail to find a suitable owner for "Number Seven," but he also treated it as an experimental subject that could be reused repeatedly.
Currently, everything the Xiao family possesses is essentially a reverse engineering of the 'Soul Armor'.
"Interesting. I was wondering how the Xiao family suddenly went from being a tin can to a meat can."
The former is prosthetic technology, and the latter is enhanced reproductive technology.
A trade is like a mountain to someone outside it.
"But who would have thought that the Xiao family not only produced a traitor, but also raised a loyal subject? Xiao Yu's father and grandfather were both true royalists."
The senior engineer muttered to himself as he downloaded the materials.
By following their example, with these, your own faction can also select "Biocolourers".
After all, he had acquired all the professional knowledge from "Strong Breeding Technology".
'Knock knock—'
A knock came at the door.
With a thought, the senior engineer used the hair of Dr. Xiao that he had obtained beforehand to activate a certain shapeshifting bloodline among the radiation beasts, transforming it into another 'Dr. Xiao' before the door opened.
"Come in."
A powerful mutant, three and a half meters tall and covered in ferocious bony teeth, walked in and respectfully addressed 'Dr. Xiao':
"Doctor, I'm here for a blood transfusion."
"A blood transfusion?"
The senior engineer recalled the information from his memory and immediately understood what was going on.
Strictly speaking, the strong colonizer is a parasitic species. It has no fixed form, an exceptionally developed nervous system, and a penchant for possession and eating live animals.
For these kinds of creatures, simply imparting knowledge is not difficult; they are even more intelligent than normal humans. The difficulty lies in instilling 'loyalty'.
Implanting chips won't work. Brainwashing? They don't have brains at all. Using beautiful women to lure them in? But what they love most is to swallow beautiful women alive, literally.
So after much research, they came up with the idea of "blood transfusion".
By deleting some genes at the beginning of their breeding process, they are made to produce "defective blood" that cannot circulate blood on its own. If their blood is not replaced periodically, their bodies will explode.
Through these methods, coupled with training from childhood, they successfully subjugated the "Strong Colonizer" race.
The senior engineer glanced around and found the replacement blood test tube on the wall. With the help of the prosthetic doctor's basic skills, he skillfully selected the instrument.
"Doctor, there's no need for that. Just pour it in directly."
The superhuman ripped his upper body apart with both hands, the torn parts stretching like black cheese.
The senior engineer was speechless for a moment, then without saying anything more, he poured the blood from the test tube into the stomach. The blood was absorbed cleanly, like a sponge, from the split mouth all the way down to the stomach.
"Phew, that felt good. Dr. Xiao, I'm off."
"Um."
"The problem is that getting a blood transfusion every two weeks is too troublesome. It would be great if one transfusion could last for six months."
What is said without malice may be taken to heart by the listener.
After thinking it over, the senior engineer suddenly realized that there seemed to be some room for maneuver here.
Just as I was pondering this, I heard Black Rose's voice.
"You should come over here for a moment; your little one seems a bit overwhelmed."
The senior engineer was taken aback, and then without saying a word, he used the identity of "Dr. Xiao" to push open the door and walk directly to the bottom floor.
Upon reaching the bottom level, a burly man was reading a newspaper. The powerful biomagnetic field emanating from this man was undoubtedly level 60. Behind him was a bio-armored creature with three spikes on its head and two eyes each on its chest and abdomen.
As soon as the senior engineer appeared, two pairs of eyes stared intently at him, like some kind of beetle, their gazes almost tangible. The senior engineer, a thought forming in his mind, spoke:
"Xiao Sha, the family sent you to guard this place, it wasn't my idea, why are you taking your anger out on me?"
Xiao Sha stretched and said, "Old Xiao, don't be angry. It's just a routine inspection. This crappy place can't even get internet access. Even the most temperamental person would have their edges worn down."
"Can I go in now?"
Please make yourself at home.
Dr. Xiao opened his mouth, struggling to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
The senior engineer nodded and went directly underground, while Xiao Sha put down his newspaper and looked at the "Bio-Bio Armor." The armor slowly shook its head.
"Hmm, it seems I was just being paranoid. Vivian told me to be more vigilant, but who would know about such a godforsaken place?"
When the senior engineer reached the last floor, he suddenly stopped, then stepped back, and out of the body of "Dr. Xiao" emerged another Dr. Xiao.
And the one who stepped down was the real senior engineer.
As for the "Dr. Xiao" mentioned earlier, he just transformed the space and exchanged for the genuine Dr. Xiao.
This kind of ingenious spatial overlap and transformation can only be accomplished by him in his current state.
And if the genuine "Dr. Xiao" is pushed up, then it can't be more authentic.
"What's going on? Why has the inspection become so strict? There wasn't this person on the way here."
After sealing Dr. Xiao again, the senior engineer muttered something to himself and quickly arrived at the lowest level.
A spiritual force, like a black tide, appeared out of nowhere. This time, the senior engineer did not resist and let the other party sweep him away.
Those were two completely identical underlying layers.
There were numerous advanced biological research devices, a skeletal gate, and the "Endless Black Armor" with countless biological tubes inserted into it.
One is on the ground, and the other is underground.
Both sides are mirror images of each other.
The "lowest level" underground was completely empty, creating an illusion.
In the very bottom of reality, Black Rose stands opposite 'End Black Armor' with her arms crossed.
As for Xiao Yu, he was already covered in blood.
When Ms. Ye saw the senior engineer approaching, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed somewhat uncomfortably:
"Please save her! She's dying!"
The senior engineer strode over and saw that Xiao Yu was covered in blood. Logically speaking, as a person whose body was modified by more than 90% of her body, she shouldn't have that much blood.
These "blood" were clearly being drawn together, converging in one direction.
The senior engineer looked up and saw that after receiving the blood, the damaged parts of the "Endless Black Armor" were gradually healing.
Soul mending.
The senior engineer immediately understood.
"The code on Xiao Yu's body can activate the 'Soul Armor,' however, the damage to the Soul Armor over the years has rendered it completely unable to unleash Number Seven, so Xiao Yu's soul was extracted."
They could also see the black light on the 'Endless Black Armor' light up again, while a blood-red light simultaneously shone on the white bone gate.
That is—
The senior engineer sent a probe over.
Name: Gate of Chaos
Category: Information carrier
Quality: Tier 3
Danger level: Planetary
Weight: 0
Note: Special materials used to forge special equipment, which confuse the soul and disrupt thought.
The senior engineer stared at the strange door, which seemed to have grown countless human faces and tentacles, and seemed to be emitting thousands of strange voices from various systems of the human body.
The senior engineer closed his eyes, and the hallucination vanished the next moment.
This thing is very similar to the 'Ominous Machine' that I sensed in the single god's mind before. The aura it exudes is very deeply connected with that 'Memory Mother'.
"As members of the 'Advent Faction,' the Xiao family seems to have already mastered the abilities of this part of the memory matrix; otherwise, they wouldn't have left the 'Endless Black Armor' here so confidently."
Seeing that the senior engineer remained silent, Ms. Ye angrily shouted, "Are you even going to take responsibility for anything?!"
The senior engineer suddenly smiled:
"There are two paths now. One is to sever Xiao Yu's connection with the 'Endless Black Armor' and cut off the connection at the soul level. But this would mean that she can never become Number Seven, because in the current state of the 'Endless Black Armor,' it is impossible to activate it a second time."
"The second option is to completely sacrifice Xiao Yu, merging her with the 'Endless Black Armor' to make up for the loss of the 'Soul Armor.' However, the price is that she will become part of the armor and disappear forever from then on."
Ms. Ye was furious, but her hand tightened. She saw that although Xiao Yu was still coughing up blood, his eyes were getting brighter.
"Ahem... I... I choose option two! Boss... please!"
"Are you stupid? Don't you know they're using you?"
Xiao Yu shook her head.
"This is... what I should do."
"If you just need a playmate, I can upload 'Xiao Yu's' mind and create a copy of her for you."
"I don't need those counterfeit goods!!!"
"You need to hurry up with your discussion, we're about to be discovered."
Black Rose crossed her arms and lowered her head. In the illusion beneath her feet, Xiao Sha and the female colonist Vivian had somehow barged in. Xiao Sha looked around in confusion, while Vivian spoke to him with a serious expression.
"Little... Ye Ye, please help me."
Ms. Ye's eyes reddened, and she finally gritted her teeth and said:
"You're insane!"
The senior engineer stood up, grabbed at the air with both hands, and in an instant, countless fragments of space sprayed out from his palms, covering the white bone gate. The deeper the coverage, the fainter the illusion of the gate became, until finally, it disappeared completely.
He folded the door again.
Within the 'illusion' beneath her feet, Vivian seemed to have discovered something, and her expression grew increasingly uneasy.
Without the door, a large amount of white light shone from Xiao Yu's body, transforming into a small, transparent figure that flew towards the 'Soul Armor'.
In the eyes of senior engineers, there is no such thing as a soul, only a "higher information state".
The figure was covered in scattered fluorescent light, and within the light was a complex sword-patterned activation code.
The senior engineer's eyes flashed, and the next moment, he threw Xiao Yu's 'corpse' violently towards Black Rose. At the same time, his entire body transformed into a dense blood light, which burned away all the biological channels and merged with the 'Endless Black Armor'.
"Ladies, I need your help."
Boiling chemical agents and powerful spiritual energy were simultaneously poured into the body of "End Armor".
'Click'
The hallucination began to crack and then suddenly shattered.
What Xiao Sha and Vivian saw was that the once silent End Armor suddenly roared with the loud sound of its engine.
Those empty eyes lit up.
