The brain twisted and changed shape at the center of the artificial sun, its tangled white tentacles like spaghetti in a platter of fireballs.
The tentacles it extended transformed the surrounding scorching, chaotic plasma into a trembling, flowing humanoid body, making it look like an orange-red god of flames.
Controlling matter and controlling cells were entirely different concepts. No matter how powerful a Complete Sapient Lifeform was, it could only use Electromagnetic Force to influence the world indirectly. Human Civilization still had no means of directly utilizing the Nuclear Force within atoms, and could only observe and use the power within atoms through indirect methods.
But Li Heng was different. His brain could directly sense and manipulate matter. Strong Force, Weak Force, Electromagnetic Force—this brain composed of unknown matter had innately unified the three fundamental forces, and could directly manipulate matter by annihilating information, so long as he could perceive that matter.
If the matter composing this brain had to be given a name, it could perhaps be called Aether.
In past battles, Li Heng had never used methods beyond the control of a Complete Sapient Lifeform. He had limited his abilities to carbon-based organisms dependent on Electromagnetic Interaction.
The orange-red humanoid body dispersed. Li Heng's current control was still too weak; once electrons separated from atoms, the free ions lacked stable ionic bonds.
This Plasma Body required him to annihilate information at all times to maintain the stability of its internal form. It was less flexible and convenient than an ordinary body of flesh and blood.
All the tentacles extending from the brain retracted. Though the phantom-like brain was clearly a macroscopic object, it displayed the properties of a wave.
Like an electromagnetic wave, it ignored all obstacles and left the center of the high-temperature, high-pressure fireball at the
