The Holy Light Particle were injected into Aurora's body and began to fuse with her cells. Her life force instantly became agitated and produced a violent reaction.
Platinum light emanated from every inch of Aurora's skin, transforming her into a dazzling humanoid light source. Every strand of her hair seemed to materialize into rays of light. She floated in mid-air, emanating an aura of nobility, radiance, and holiness.
His eyes rapidly adjusted to the bright light. Han Xiao stared wide-eyed at Aurora transformed, gripping the empty containment device. If any signs of backlash appeared, he would give Aurora another injection to draw out the Holy Light Particle.
To Han Xiao's relief, the fusion process went very smoothly. Aurora only landed slowly after the light faded, seemingly still immersed in the experience and not quite recovered from the shock.
Smack
Han Xiao snapped his fingers in front of her, "How does it feel?"
"It seems... to be quite comfortable?"
Aurora clutched her chest, her face filled with uncertainty.
"Since there's no backlash, you're now the host of the Holy Light Particle. Can you feel its power?"
You mean this?
Aurora her eyes and sensed it for a moment. She stretched out her palm, palm up, and shook it slightly. Instantly, a ball of golden light shot out, with a strong granular texture, like a swarm of fireflies gathered together.
How could he master it so quickly? Generally speaking, a host needs an adaptation period after merging with their Primal Esper Ability.
It is said that the shorter the adaptation period, the higher the host's fitness.
Life-related abilities and the properties of Holy Light Particle are indeed a good match. Perhaps some kind of chemical reaction has occurred, which would allow for the maximum utilization of Holy Light Particle and facilitate my plan... Han Xiao stroked his chin.
He reached out and touched the ball of light in Aurora's palm, but the ball of light actually dodged to the side. Han Xiao chuckled and said:
"Ah Sheng, I know that after you merge, you can share the host's senses and hear me. Stop pretending to be dead. What do you think of this host?"
"Um..."
The Holy Light Particle bubbled up, emitting a comfortable purring sound, like a cat stretching. They no longer disliked Aurora and immediately changed their tune:
"This feels so good. This is the first time I've ever felt such a vibrant life force. This is the best host I've ever had..."
"Hmph, that's not what you said just now." Aurora wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.
"I was wrong, no one but you is good enough for me~" The ball of Holy Light Particle circled around Aurora, like a little puppy clinging to its owner and begging for affection.
Han Xiao curled his lip in disapproval.
Tsk, he was so tough just now, but he turned into a simp the moment he turned around. Tell me, isn't that sweet?
Aurora quickly mastered the technique. In her perception, it was as if she had suddenly gained a new limb that was as easy to control as an extension of her own arm.
"Go back and practice more. Primal Esper Ability have multiple effects. With Holy Light Particle, your self-defense capabilities will be further enhanced," Han Xiao instructed.
Aurora's role was that of a healer; her life-related abilities lacked combat power. Now that she has become a host of Holy Light Particle, she has gained new abilities such as enhanced physique, super-speed flight, dimensional travel, and punishing evil.
In particular, her ability to travel between dimensions has significantly improved her mobility, making it much easier to escape if she encounters any danger in the future.
However, what Han Xiao valued most was the ability to provide Holy Light Seed. He tested it and was pleasantly surprised to find that his idea was correct. Aurora's life ability could indeed replenish the consumption of the Holy Light Particle Origin Core, which meant that the new power system of providing Holy Light Seed in batches was feasible.
This is quite useful to the Black Star Army. On the one hand, it can serve as an incentive for players and legion warriors; on the other hand, it can attract a large number of ordinary people, allowing them to see the hope of becoming superhumans and replenishing the grassroots forces.
Han Xiao explained his idea, Aurora trembled slightly, her voice hesitant:
"Do you want to popularize it on a large scale...?"
"More or less, but now that you're the host, I need your permission."
Upon hearing this, Aurora she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
She had just tested the ability to split the Holy Light Seed. Although her body could withstand it, it consumed a lot of life energy. If she used it on a large scale, she didn't know if the life energy she naturally accumulated each day would be enough. She might experience being drained every day.
After hesitating for a long time, Aurora suddenly made up her mind, closed her eyes, and said firmly, "Okay, I... I can handle it!"
"Why do you look like you're about to die a glorious death?" Han Xiao pinched her nose and teased, "Don't worry, I won't let you bleed for nothing. You can retrieve the Holy Light Seed, which will not only replenish your deficiencies but also help you grow quickly, much faster than you accumulate life force every day."
"It's not right to take away other people's hard work like this..." Aurora somewhat resistant; it didn't align with her principles.
"Hahaha--" Han Xiao laughed, speaking in the tone of a big capitalist, "Isn't that simple? Money can't solve everything, but it can solve most problems. I'll hire a group of people specifically to cultivate Holy Light Seed, and you can harvest them once they're mature. Actually, it's no different from working, just the job content is different. Essentially, they're all investing their time to create value for me. As long as the compensation is sufficient, it's a mutually agreeable transaction, and there's no need for any guilt."
"That makes some sense..." Although Aurora leans towards lawful good, she's not inflexible. Once she heard that, she felt less resistant.
Taking away someone else's hard-earned results without a word is completely different from agreeing from the beginning that it's a job. The work of cultivating Holy Light Particle through meditation and sacrifice can also be done by clocking in and out. In essence, it's no different from those legion clerks; they're all just employees.
Han Xiao chose Aurora as his host not only to maximize the power of the Holy Light Seed, but also to allow Aurora to enjoy the rapid growth of the Holy Light Particle, thus accelerating her leveling up.
Anyway, Aurora has no bottleneck. Harvesting leeks is many times faster than accumulating vitality naturally. It's like a bunch of people helping her accumulate experience. In his opinion, it has the flair of the Shadow Clone Technique.
Aurora can reach a new level as soon as possible, the Germinal Organization will truly achieve its goal of having three Beyond Grade A members.
After encountering the Netherland Dimension, Han Xiao had this idea in mind. His goal wasn't to further enhance Aurora's healing abilities, but rather to leverage the effects of the Netherland. Only Aurora reached Beyond Grade A could the "Impure World Reincarnation" technique be successfully performed...
Compared to her healing abilities, Han Xiao was more interested in the group of powerful individuals sleeping in the Netherland; this was a group of extremely strong combatants.
"I'm such a little genius..." Han Xiao chuckled to himself.
The only potential threat is the Sanctum Organization. This group has an extraordinary interest in Primal Esper Ability, and if they find out that the Holy Light Particle are on Aurora, they will most likely try to seize them from the Book Society.
However, this also serves as a convenient lure. If the Sanctum Organization continues to hide, he won't be able to find them— the Sanctum Organization might not dare to attack him again, but they would certainly dare to attack the superhumans under his command.
As for Aurora's safety, Han Xiao naturally wouldn't neglect it; he planned to get Aurora a set of Sovereign Mecha as well.
Not only that, he also planned to build several spare Sovereign and place the teleportation locator "Throne" on different people to ensure that he could descend at any time, simply using the Sovereign as a teleportation device.
The cost of building the Sovereign is exorbitant, making this a very extravagant undertaking. However, the shareholders of the Infinite Financial Group, coupled with the highly profitable business of the Evolution Totem, allow him to earn a substantial amount of Enas every year, more than enough to cover these costs.
After giving her a series of instructions, Han Xiao told Aurora to go back and properly develop the posture of the Holy Light Particle. Once she was ready, he would launch the Holy Light Envoy project.
Watching Aurora leave the room, Han Xiao couldn't help but think of Evans.
This guy had stolen both of his cheat codes from his past life.
How is Evans doing now?
Phillip poked his head out. "He's still figuring out his powers, hum."
Han Xiao looked at the surveillance footage. Ever since Evans was brought back by him, he had been receiving secret training. Because he hadn't received any instructions from Han Xiao, he hadn't replicated any of his superpowers yet, and was completely powerless, at the lowest Grade E level.
"Have you found the target I asked you to find?" Han Xiao asked.
"The list of Immortals with matching abilities has been identified, as follows..."
A miniature bookshelf appeared next to Phillip. He rummaged through it and pulled out a stack of documents, tossing them into the air. The flying pieces of paper transformed into virtual screens, displaying the files of different people, which floated in front of Han Xiao.
Han Xiao couldn't help but glance at him.
Hey buddy, why are you being so dramatic? Are you trying to mess with me?
While pressing Phillip's cheek with his fingers, rubbing it back and forth on the table like clay, Han Xiao quickly read through the files on the other side.
His new Sorokin training program followed the planned absorption path, designed a growth path for Evans, and was constantly looking for the most suitable superpowers to possess in the early stages. The players in these files were all of two specific types of superpower users, namely physical enhancement type and mental enhancement type.
The load rate of Grade E is not high, so replicating two is the most suitable. Physical and mental qualities are important basic qualities, and this is the optimal configuration. Evans has his own support and does not need to follow the old path of the Sorokin growing through battle, so there is no need to worry about his combat power in the early stage. Everything should focus on building a foundation.
These are the two we'll take.
Han Xiao selected the two most capable players and had Phillip assign them exclusive missions.
Just then, the panel suddenly reacted.
[Liberate the Beast Ancestor's Forces] is complete!
"Oh? The troops sent out a few months ago succeeded?" Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
Before embarking on a two-person trip to the Secondary Dimension, a group of Beast Ancestor cadres, led by Jotina, defected to him and made a request: to liberate the Beast Ancestor's base camp.
At the time, Han Xiao assigned the task to the Shattered Star Ring headquarters troops. Now, several months later, there are finally results, and it seems to be very successful. Soon, there should be a large number of new recruits who will recognize the enemy as their father.
The last planet of the Beast Ancestor's stronghold was ablaze, as if the earth itself was burning. The planet's defenses had all collapsed, and numerous spaceship fragments floated in outer space.
Black Star Army warships hovered above the planet, using tractor beams to absorb large amounts of resources and countless prisoners, most of whom were rescued mothers and their bewildered young offspring.
Inside the hold of one of the transport ships, prisoners of various species huddled together in twos and threes, filled with unease. Squads of Black Star warriors pulled the group apart, separating the warriors, mothers, and young offspring into different groups of prisoners.
"Don't move, all of you stand still!"
The captain of the transport ship gave loud instructions.
Meanwhile, Mia, dressed in a black combat uniform and reminiscent of Hila, clasped her hands together, propped herself up with a mechanical spear on her forearm, leaned forward, shifting her weight onto her arms, and held a bag of snacks between her fingers, occasionally flicking candies into her mouth, her eyes scanning the large group of prisoners in front of her.
Squads of Beast Ancestor soldiers were sucked into the ship's cabin. There was some commotion in the crowd, as if they intended to resist. However, as soon as they saw Mia standing by the wall, these restless prisoners trembled and quickly gave up their thoughts.
In the battle just now, they witnessed a Calamity Grade officer guarding the base camp being brutally hacked to pieces by Mia. No one dared to mess with her.
Just then, a commotion broke out not far away. Mia turned her head and saw several rescued Mothers arguing and pulling at Black Star warriors.
"Who are you? Do you even know who our spouses are? How dare you offend us!"
"Let go, don't pull me!"
"When Beast Ancestor returns, he will crush you all!"
These shouting guys were pushed into the crowd by the Black Star Warriors, but they were still cursing and swearing, and every other sentence they couldn't stop mentioning the name of the Beast Ancestor.
Seeing this, Mia pursed her lips and shook her head.
At this moment, the transport ship captain beside him sighed:
"It's tragic, isn't it? These Mothers, imprisoned by the Beast Ancestor, are basically cut off from the outside world. For most, it's a life of utter despair, a living hell. But a few have become twisted, worshipping the Beast Ancestor and taking pride in that identity. Although our mission is to rescue these Mothers, many of them might not want to be saved and just want to continue their old lives."
Mia glanced at him. "Get back to your work. I only care about the mission; I'm not interested in this kind of thing."
The transport ship captain, having been rebuffed, stopped the conversation and continued directing his men to work.
Just then, Mia's communicator rang. When she answered, Jotina's alluring and wild face appeared on the screen, but at this moment, that face radiated a holy maternal Glory.
"How are the mothers and their young? Have they all been rescued?" Jotina asked eagerly.
Mia smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone was rescued, and they were all very touched."
"That's wonderful! I'll go tell the legion commander the good news right away!" Jotina was overjoyed. "By the way, when you get back, I'll teach you a few powerful moves."
Before she could reply, Jotina abruptly hung up the call.
"You're so impatient," Mia chuckled.
Although Jotina shocked everyone by asking her superior to mate in public, as they spent more time together, the legion officers found her to be easy to get along with, straightforward and decisive. Over the next few months, she gained a good reputation among them.
Mia was her closest friend; both of them were muscular and had endless things to talk about.
Mia put away her communicator, looked at the crowd in front of her again, her gaze sweeping over the bewildered or panicked faces, and let out a soft sigh of relief.
"Nero, your godfather is truly an extraordinary figure, no wonder even Hila is willing to follow him..."
Although Black Star's defeat of Gorutan was out of personal revenge, in retrospect, it was indeed a great deed for the entire universe, and Mia admired him from the bottom of her heart.
