Chen Mo absorbed the heart in his hand, looking down at Xiao.
Xiao raised his head, staring intently at Chen Mo, his blurred eyes filled with nothing but madness.
Years of planning.
The Hellfire Club, a club of elites that ruled Germany, and the looming Supreme Class Project —all gone.
Even the ability he was so proud of became a part of Chen Mo's body.
He couldn't go on living, and he didn't want to live anymore.
"Didn't you want to eat me?"
Xiao grinned, blood gushing from between his teeth, "Then come to hell with me!"
The energy surged forth suddenly.
Thump!
The remaining golden patterns within Xiao's body lit up simultaneously, and all the energy stored deep within his cells began to converge frantically towards his heart.
He staked all his savings accumulated over the years.
In addition, the enormous kinetic energy absorbed from Chen Mo was all mobilized.
Chen Mo's expression changed.
"Holy crap, what am I going to eat if you expose yourself?"
Xiao didn't answer at all. Who cares what you eat!
His body rapidly expanded, his skin cracked open one after another, and blinding golden light gushed out from the wounds. The surrounding seawater was instantly evaporated by the high temperature, and large areas of the seabed rock began to melt.
Shaw's consciousness is fading.
But the smile on his face grew increasingly sinister.
Let's die together!
Boom!
A burst of golden light erupted from the seabed three thousand meters deep, tearing apart thick layers of rock on the spot. Tens of thousands of tons of seawater above surged violently, and a beam of light hundreds of meters in diameter pierced through the sea and shot into the sky.
The entire Arctic Ocean trembled once again.
The remaining ice sheet simultaneously broke apart, the impact spreading along the sea surface, and countless ice shards were thrown high into the air.
Self-destruct center.
Chen Mo did not back down.
Covered in black and red armor, he charged forward against the ever-expanding energy and grabbed Shaw by the neck.
"Trying to back out of the order?"
Suddenly, a crack appeared behind Chen Mo.
Countless black and red tentacles erupted, instantly binding Xiao's limbs and mangled body. More tentacles plunged into the center of the self-destruction, drawn by the intense golden light, and began to frantically devour the energy within.
Xiao's eyes widened.
He has already ignited all his reserves; there's no way he can stop the self-destruction.
The golden light, which was expanding outwards, began to flow backwards.
The violent energy surged into Chen Mo's body along the black and red tentacles, was dispersed by the newly acquired energy absorption system, and then forcibly injected into every cell by the Blacklight Virus.
The golden beam of light rapidly shrank.
Hundreds of meters.
Tens of meters.
In the end, only a ball of intense light remained enveloping Xiao's body.
"No..."
As soon as Xiao uttered a single word, his black and red tentacles tightened.
Click!
Bones and flesh were pulverized simultaneously.
Xiao's mangled body was torn into countless pieces by the tentacles, and along with his burning heart, it was all dragged into Chen Mo's body.
The Deep was plunged into darkness once more.
Chen Mo hovered above the broken rock formations, his black and red armor bulging. Several dark gold patterns moved rapidly beneath the armor, gradually stabilizing after about ten seconds.
A flood of memories then rushed into my mind.
Supreme Class Project.
Blood of Woden.
And there's that golden-veined heart in the culture chamber.
Chen Mo closed his eyes and quickly figured out its true purpose.
The Blood of Woden can break through the original energy limits of life, but it also puts a great burden on the body. Xiao's current body can only be considered to have completed the first half of the transformation.
The golden-patterned heart inside the incubation chamber is the core of the entire plan.
It was selected from hundreds of thousands of experimental data and repeatedly cultivated with a large amount of Blood of Woden, specifically to withstand the rejection and potential energy generated by the Supreme Class modification.
Once that heart is transplanted into his body, Xiao's absorption rate, storage capacity, and regeneration ability will all be enhanced again.
That is the complete Supreme Class.
Chen Mo opened his eyes.
Goodness, I almost mistook the main course for dessert.
Dark red smoke rose from the Deep.
The next second, he reappeared inside the Arctic base.
By this time, half of the base had sunk.
Seawater kept pouring in through the cracked armor, and all the lighting in the passageway went out. Several surviving researchers, clinging to floating boxes, were desperately swimming upwards in the pitch-black corridor.
The laboratory also began to flood.
Protected by telekinesis, the incubation chamber remained firmly standing in the center of the room. The deep red liquid swirled slowly, and the golden-patterned heart continued to beat powerfully within the culture medium.
Thump, thump, thump.
Chen Mo arrived at the incubation chamber.
Black and red tentacles spread along the cabin, enveloping the culture medium, heart, and internal life support equipment, and storing them separately inside the body.
"Now everyone's here."
He turned to look around.
The base is tilting more and more severely, and a large amount of equipment is sliding down the ground towards the crack. The external propulsion system has been completely destroyed, and in a few minutes, the entire base will sink to the bottom of the sea.
Chen Mo raised his right hand.
An invisible force of thought covered the base.
The massive object that was sinking suddenly stopped, and then, pushing against the seawater that was pouring into it, slowly rose upwards.
Boom!
The armored layer smashed through the ice, and half of the base was dragged out of the sea.
The researchers carrying the boxes had just surfaced when they saw the surrounding walls separating from the seawater, and they froze.
Chen Mo ignored them.
The experimental equipment and data in the base still have value; it would be a waste to just throw them away. As for which group of researchers should receive them, he still needs to consider that.
The Hellfire Club has already scoured a mining area.
If another Arctic base is sent there, the manor might really have to be renamed an industrial park.
Chen Mo touched his chin, and several clumps of dark red flesh separated from his body.
The flesh and blood swelled rapidly.
Bones, muscles, and skin formed one after another. In just a few seconds, several Blacklight Clone identical to Chen Mo stood in the laboratory.
"The newly acquired energy absorption system needs to undergo an extreme test."
Chen Mo pointed to two of his clones, "Go to the vicinity of the sun and start absorbing energy from the outer edges. Once you've confirmed your bodies can handle it, try to drill towards the surface."
Both clones nodded simultaneously.
"Come back and submit the data once you've absorbed enough."
Chen Mo paused for a moment, then added, "If it doesn't fill up completely, then soak it a little longer. Free solar energy, might as well use it."
Dark red smoke rose.
The two clones disappeared from the base.
Chen Mo looked at the spot where they had left, feeling quite pleased.
If this energy-absorbing system can truly adapt to the stellar environment, then when energy is scarce, we can simply send our clones over for a solar bath.
No electricity bill is required.
This is what sustainable development truly means.
He casually took out his communicator and connected to Emma Frost's channel.
"Boss?"
Emma Frost's voice rang out quickly.
"Prepare a new venue."
How big?
Chen Mo glanced at the base that was being held aloft on the sea by telekinesis, then looked at the shattered iceberg in the distance.
"Make it as big as possible, and it also needs to be durable."
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the communicator.
Emma Frost suddenly had a bad feeling.
What are you planning to bring back this time?
Chen Mo smiled.
"Don't worry, it's just a small base."
