Chapter 1505 Phantom Light
The world has been turned upside down in Anniemo, but the instigator of this chaos is currently in the temple of Beast God Mountain, turning a deaf ear to the chaos outside.
The rebellion of the Silvermoon people and the disorder of the Annie demons fueled his rage.
But the good news from the temple the next moment instantly cheered him up, and he abandoned all the troublesome matters and rushed over anxiously.
"Are you sure?" Valerius stared intently at the indescribable black liquid.
“Absolutely certain.” The research leader opened the data panel and explained to Valerius, “After multiple rounds of comparative testing, the data all indicate that this thing can convert input inorganic energy into beast soul energy and distribute it through the existing transmission network. We just haven’t yet analyzed the conversion mechanism…”
"Will not being able to analyze the principle affect the conversion process?" Vallejo's face already showed an uncontrollable smile.
“Currently, it doesn’t seem to have any impact,” the research leader replied. “However, the underlying mechanism is unclear, which may affect the stability of the transformation, as well as the maximum thresholds for input and output. Moreover, we still don’t know exactly what this thing is or how it forms. We are uncertain about its lifespan and durability, whether its formation is accidental, or the probability of its reproducibility…”
"Then go try it!" Valerius commanded sternly. "What's there to be afraid of? Increase the energy input, test the highest threshold, detect conversion loss... Do I have to teach you these things?"
“But,” the person in charge explained under pressure, “Currently, Crystal City is experiencing an energy shortage, and outside…”
“It won’t reach you anyway,” Valer said, clicking rapidly on his personal terminal. “All the stored energy has been transferred to the Beast God Mountain line. Connect to the conversion immediately and increase the power to restore the energy cycle of Crystal City.”
“Silvermoon City dares to threaten me,” he sneered. “Does it really mean that without their energy, our Crystal City is finished?”
The person in charge thought to himself, "Inorganic energy is indeed produced and supplied by Silvermoon City," but he also knew that this was not a good topic, so he just reminded him.
"However, drastically increasing the power might cause the unidentified object to expand rapidly and become damaged. According to standard procedures..."
"So how long are you planning to keep testing, bit by bit?" Valerius projected the current chaos in Crystal City onto the scene. "Are you waiting until these rats have drilled holes all over Crystal City, or until Crystal City actually falls down, before you give me a safe and effective report according to your damned standard procedures?"
When that time comes, the Beast Soul Mech will indeed have nothing to worry about anymore, but with Crystal City crippled, the morale of the Crystal City people will definitely be greatly reduced.
The Silvermoon people rebelled against all odds. Those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear. Regardless of whether they win the final battle, the fact that they dragged Crystal City down to the mortal realm is already a victory.
Who will benefit from this stable and safe energy conversion device in the end?
The person in charge isn't unaware of this principle, but...
"Science requires rigor..."
"Strict my foot!" Valerius kicked him angrily. "All of Crystal City's energy is here. If you don't convert it, Crystal City will fall, and you'll be the first one to lose your head!"
"Hurry! Restore Crystal City's energy and activate the defense system! They want to come, so let's not let them leave! Activate automatic target acquisition immediately and shoot down the rats coming from Silver Moon."
He raised his hand, pointing at the black liquid in the air, his voice fierce.
"Even if this thing is going to collapse, make the most of it and kill those Silvermoon people before it collapses! You!"
A heavy mental pressure suddenly descended, forcing all the researchers to their knees, unable to breathe.
"Always prioritize Jingyao's gains and losses! Execute!"
"Yes!" the researchers responded in unison, their eyes unfocused, their movements mechanical, but they carried out the order without the slightest hesitation.
Ample energy was introduced. The black liquid surged wildly, emitting a blindingly bright light.
Valerius shielded his eyes with his hand, stood at a distance, and watched the light travel outwards through the pipes and into the underground of Crystal City. He smiled with satisfaction.
Crystal City.
The already faint light vanished instantly, as if the entire world had been shrouded in darkness, with no light left except for the faint glimmer of daylight and the engine of the mecha.
Both the Silvermoon people and the Crystal Radiance people were stunned by this sudden change.
Darkness inevitably gives people a bad feeling. Many Silvermoon people thought of the possible fall of Crystal City and came out of their hiding places, hoping to escape in time if anything happened.
In an instant, Crystal City suddenly shone brightly.
All the lights were restored to normal, and an unprecedentedly high concentration of beast soul energy was released.
"Lord Beast God!"
"The Beast God is angry!"
The Silvermoon people's first reaction was guilt. Even those who had finally broken through the Beast God Mountain's blockade and had already rushed to the temple entrance, ready to blast the door open, immediately knelt down.
The Beast God is alright, but what about their actions today...?
Before the Silvermoon people could come to a conclusion, the enemy detection device in Crystal City had already been activated.
Instantly, blood splattered across the brightly lit street, and the Silver Moon people, caught off guard, fell to the ground.
The Silvermoon people, realizing what had happened, didn't even have time to repent and quickly sought a place to hide.
Those damned Crystal City actually used weapons of mass destruction against them...
But does the Beast God's behavior also indicate his support?
The Silvermoon people, filled with doubt and confusion, hid and fled, and their previous favorable situation vanished without a trace, like a mirage.
The Beast Soul Mechs were no longer constrained and, with the cooperation of the city's defense system, quickly searched for and annihilated the Silver Moon People.
"Look! Isn't this wonderful?" Valerius looked at everything with satisfaction, turning to the unidentified object that was still shifting in the air, even finding the blinding light comforting.
“The Burning Beast isn’t the only option, is it…” He smiled, spreading his arms to feel the stronger beast soul aura permeating the air than ever before.
At this moment, standing atop Beast God Mountain, within the temple, in the place once home of the Beast God, now the source of powerful energy, he finally felt a sense of transcending all things and controlling the Annie Demon.
But dreams are always fleeting.
Soon, a piercing buzzing sound broke Valerius's concentration.
"Warning! Enter energy threshold value."
"Warning! Energy shortage detected. Please replenish energy promptly."
"warn……"
With a "hum," the machine stopped working, and Crystal City was plunged into darkness once again.
"Damn it!" Valerius felt as if he had fallen from a great height, clenching his fists in hatred. "Silvermoon City!"
This damn converter needs an inorganic energy supply. And that inorganic energy comes from Silvermoon City!
But Silvermoon City's transmission system is broken!
Who will fix it? The Silvermoon people, of course! They, the people of Crystal Radiance City, never touch such low-level things.
Valéry put his hands on his hips, spun around in anger several times, and finally gave the order reluctantly.
Impelli received the order to cease the attack: "Go find the Burning Beast? Now?"
"Yes!" Valerius was still panting, seemingly angered by something. "Bring it back, immediately. Also, send a team to find the Silvermoon people who know how to repair pipelines and are involved in energy production. Send them back and have them quickly repair the pipelines and restore energy production."
Looking at the corpses strewn across the street, and thinking of the Silvermoon people who were so well hidden that they couldn't be found, Imperio honestly replied, "This is not an easy task."
"Don't give me those excuses," Valerius had experienced such a dramatic rise and fall in such a short time that he was no longer the leisurely nobleman he used to be. "Just tell me if you can do it!"
"..." Impelio paused for a moment, then replied with "Yes".
What if he says "no"? There are plenty of people who would say "yes".
Whether it's really possible or not, let's agree first. As for what happens next, we'll see.
This was a chaotic day, absolutely a complete mess.
After assigning the tasks, Impelli looked up at the increasingly bright sky.
Is it getting light?
Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year!
Wishing all my darlings a healthy and prosperous New Year, and may the Year of the Horse bring you great fortune!
Love you all (′‵)I L
