The small cluster of Nanomachine Swarm was now only the size of an earthworm, yet like a greedy colossal beast, it swallowed the Beast Gold whole.
Very quickly, the originally silver-gray Nanomachine Swarm instantly turned silver, arcs of electricity flashing across it!
Through the Nanomachine Swarm's control backdoor, Shen Feng had completely taken control of this small cluster of nanomachines. He could now sense the immense energy contained within them, utterly different from before.
But at that moment, the Nanomachine Swarm, which had just grown to its peak, began to weaken rapidly. Large amounts of its internal microstructures started collapsing, and energy leaked into the surroundings.
Shen Feng frowned. He understood that these first-generation nanomachines were not yet complete. They had quite a few structural flaws and still needed to keep evolving.
Fortunately, he already understood nanomachines well enough to know them inside out. Their microscopic structures were long etched into his mind. He immediately put on the Sacrificial Helmet, amplifying his brainwave energy, and began forcibly controlling the nanomachines to devour one another!
Complete nanomachines had an ironclad rule against devouring one another, much like the Three Laws of Robotics, written into their base protocol.
But these first-generation nanomachines had no such restriction. Like the most primitive beasts and insects, they could recklessly consume one another, then die within a dozen seconds.
Quick, it has to be quick!
The mass of gray matter before him seemed like a living lump of mud, constantly writhing, tearing at itself, and consuming itself.
Each act of consumption was a new iteration for a nanomachine. Throughout that process, they repaired themselves according to Shen Feng's guidance and accelerated their evolution.
With the powerful energy-bearing metallic element Beast Gold assisting them, the process was countless times faster.
Watching the "lump of mud" endlessly consume
