Chapter 2164 - 1666: The Ritual (Extra - for Alliance Leader, Door Delivery) (5 Chapters)

"How could it be impossible? You are all carefully cultivated experiments by me. You not only perfectly inherit the terrifying neural talents of the Eternal Sleep Clan. You also possess perfect human bodies, are not bound by the nerve network, and have successfully acquired special abilities, breaking free from shackles!"

Kilmock gazed at Krisia and said.

"Are you saying that Reoter, Kyarat, Buseray, and I are all experimental subjects?"

Krisia spoke.

"Exactly."

"Then why did you choose me as the vessel in the end?"

Krisia asked, puzzled.

"It’s simple. Because you’re the most outstanding of all the experimental subjects, almost perfect. For my own use, of course, I choose the best. This is your honor; you should feel happy. I bestowed life upon you; your life returns to me, considered as returning to the mother’s embrace."

Kilmock’s expression grew increasingly mad.

"You’re mad. Even if you use me as a vessel, you cannot become a god."

At this moment, Krisia felt that Kilmock was absolutely insane.

"Who said it’s impossible? As long as I merge with your neural lines, I can break free from the nerve network of the Eternal Sleep Clan and gain freedom. Meanwhile, your neural pathways have more potential than mine, perfectly able to break through limits! And the device set up outside, a creation consuming countless efforts, can draw continuous energy from Negative God Star to nourish me! By then, I will become the new god! Haha!"

Kilmock let out a piercing laugh.

"You’re insane, completely insane. Everyone avoids Negative Energy Pollution, yet you foolishly attempt to use it to become a god."

Krisia was thoroughly shocked by Kilmock’s crazy plan.

"Haha, Negative Energy Pollution Power is still power. The power in this world doesn’t distinguish right from wrong. Those who regard Negative Energy Pollution as a monstrous flood are simply incompetent."

Kilmock sneered as he spoke.

After hearing Kilmock’s words, Krisia increasingly felt that he was insane. She started to retreat while speaking.

"I won’t let you succeed..."

The words weren’t yet finished when Krisia suddenly felt she lost control of her body, and her entire being floated up.

Kilmock’s eyes emitted an eerie purple glow.

"You dare oppose me? How disappointing. If you’d cooperated obediently, I might have spared some little affection and been kinder. But since it’s like this, there’s no need."

As the words fell, the special handcuffs and shackles on Krisia were suddenly activated.

They emitted special red thunder light.

Ah~

Instantly, Krisia let out a harrowing scream.

Only to see inside Krisia’s body, densely intertwined purple neural lines emerged under the red lightning infusion.

Watching this scene, Kilmock grew more excited, involuntarily muttering.

"Too perfect."

It wasn’t long before Krisia completely lost consciousness. At this moment, Kilmock waved his hand, and the restraining handcuffs and shackles ceased emitting thunder light.

Then Krisia fell directly to the ground.

"The historic moment begins!"

Kilmock laughed madly, looking skyward.

He had endured humiliation and burdens for tens of thousands of years, finally welcoming the return to daylight.

...

A few hours later, when Krisia slowly awoke, she found herself sitting on a special throne.

The entire throne was made of special black Crystal Stone, engraved with various circuits.

Below the throne is a special metal platform, the whole platform is a special mechanical device, countless lines connecting the throne, and in the surrounding area, stands a series of Octopus-Shaped Square Towers.

Krisia attempted to move but was unable to; her hands and feet were bound to the throne.

She turned her head to look around, only seeing some Immortal Empire engineers checking the equipment, none daring to look her way, each buried in their tasks, continually adjusting circuits, making final tweaks.

At this moment, Krisia felt unprecedented despair.

Not far away, Kyarat watched the scene quietly.

His expression kept changing; he could tell, even if foolish, that his father was doing something special with Krisia rather than simply wanting her dead.

Though not knowing the details, he felt increasing dread internally.

Yet he kept comforting himself, thinking it’s okay as long as he cooperates with Emperor Kilmock to delay time.

Once the Eternal Sleep Clan comes over, he’ll have won.

------------

At this moment, far away on the horizon, the Black Light sped forward.

Within the command room, Buseray spoke, "We’re about to enter Emperor Kilmock’s nerve network coverage area; once inside, they will detect us. We need to start gearing up for battle."

Su Mo also felt somewhat troubled, turning to inquire.

"Any way to avoid this, Tilo?"

"If you’d asked before, then definitely no way. But this ship can—we can enter Dimension Stealth."

Tilo confidently replied.

"Great, then activate Dimension Stealth."

Su Mo promptly commanded.

"Yes!"

Tilo then input the instructions.

Soon, the entire surface of the Black Light produced ripples, and the entire vessel vanished.

Inside the Black Light command room, through optical devices, Su Mo and the others could still see the external situation. However, the images became somewhat blurry, like those filmed underwater.

At this moment, the artificial intelligence, Zero, reported back.

"Successfully entered Dimension Stealth mode. Due to being on Negative God Star, the subspace here is not stable. Thus, Dimension Stealth duration is limited, able to maintain for only 3 hours and 22 minutes."

"More than enough."

Su Mo assessed and replied.

Beside him, Buseray’s eyes widened, completely unable to believe this ship’s capability.

"Alright, don’t be too surprised. It’s just a minor enable, nothing significant."

Sun Duoxiang, seeing Buseray’s astonishment, internally chuckled, outwardly appearing indifferent.

Su Mo, upon hearing, chose to ignore Sun Duoxiang, merely patting Buseray’s shoulder.

"Don’t listen to his nonsense."

Turning, Su Mo spoke to the team.

"Except for Tilo and a few others, the rest follow me to the hangar to prepare for action. Once we fight, hit them hard."

"Understood!"

The team responded with high morale.

Su Mo then spoke to Tilo, "The ship is in your hands. Command as you see fit. When you think the timing’s right, act immediately. We follow your signal."

"Okay!"

Tilo didn’t waste words.

After giving instructions, Su Mo headed to the hangar with Qian Chengxue and others.

Tilo then waved his hand to issue orders.

"Black Light, proceed at a constant speed!"

"Yes!"

Long Ke immediately executed.

Although typically, the Black Light entering Dimension Stealth shouldn’t be detected, Tilo remained cautious, staying as vigilant as possible.

Soon, the Black Light reached the edge of Kilmock’s nerve network coverage.

Tilo and others focused intently, and seconds later, the Black Light entered the nerve network coverage range.

The artificial intelligence, Zero, reported.

"All is normal."

"Maintain course."

Tilo nodded and replied.

The Black Light continued progressing; before long, they saw sets of Patrol Mecha.

But the Black Light ignored them, simply passing by, heading towards the temporary base of the Immortal Empire.

Minutes later, Long Ke excitedly reported.

"There’s their base; these guys haven’t noticed us."

"Very good."

Tilo’s eyes gleamed, gaining the upper hand.
