The special alloy that had arrived alongside the Vibranium looked much like gold, but seemed to be considerably denser. It was only about the size of a fist, yet probably weighed more than twice as much as gold.
"You can't detect anything at all?" Luo Xia asked, a little puzzled.
"It's not that there's nothing. We know this alloy is unusually soft, barely conducts electricity, and isn't affected by magnetism. But we can't detect its deeper atomic structure. There seems to be a special energy within the metal that interferes with all kinds of detection equipment," Belcher explained.
Luo Xia squeezed the alloy. It took almost no effort to leave a fingerprint in it—it really was incredibly soft. And very few metals were completely nonconductive, especially in such a stable state.
On top of that, the metal contained a special energy of its own that could interfere with detection equipment. That made Luo Xia even more curious.
"Then I'll try detecting it with the AllSpark's power," Luo Xia said.
It was a cautious choice. The AllSpark's energy had previously been able to analyze everything from Mutant blood and Kamar-Taj spells to the energy of the Dark Dimension. Luo Xia was confident this metal would be no exception.
Even if he couldn't analyze it, he might still learn something useful.
However, the moment Luo Xia poured AllSpark energy into it, he heard a notification that left him stunned.
[Special metallic life-form detected. A large amount of AllSpark energy is required to incubate this metallic life-form... Warning, AllSpark energy is being siphoned!]
Luo Xia felt as if he'd been hollowed out. The 180,000 units of AllSpark energy he had accumulated were being sucked into the lump of metal like water down a drain, so fast that he had no chance to react.
