A flash of black light.

The slippery tentacles of both python and leech split through the air, and the obstacles in its arcing attack trajectory—the human body, steel, and smoke—were all like pieces of paper in the face of a slash worthy of a giant axe or an oversized blade, and a lack of reflexes or luck would end up in two.

With this strange force, it is believed that it will only take half a day to restore the whole ship to a part state, and there will be no crew left in the ship.

Then again, that's just the case.

For Valrhona, who was clad in a "dendrobium orchid", these things could not even be called a threat, at best they were just bigger flies and mosquitoes. But in the cabin, she couldn't use magic and weapons as she wanted, so she had to rely on her strong body to give the other party a head-on blow.

"You bastard!!"

The tail covered with golden scales was thrown out with great force, and the black mud that was still showing off its power before was thrown onto the bulkhead of the hangar, and it was torn apart on the spot and scattered to the ground.

"It's useless. ”

The eyes-covered black mud slowly wriggled and coalesced together, regrouping into amorphous masses, and Sloth's cruel and mocking face resurfaced from the mud.

"It's just a doppelganger, even if I smash it a thousand times, ten thousand times, I don't feel pain. ”

Valrhona smacked her lips and let out a low growl.

"What the hell did you do?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just an experiment, the ordinary and boring kind. ”

Sloth twisted merrily, and the same faces emerged from the black mud one after another.

"We're not villains in fairy tales and we repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Even imbecile monkeys know how to learn from their failures and avoid the next failure. We're going to do something similar. ”

After each battle, regardless of victory or defeat, a variety of data will be fed back, and after analysis and review by relevant departments, adjustments or corresponding countermeasures will be formulated.

For a phenomenon like the "Axis Impact", which is full of many unknowns and the potential value is difficult to estimate, the Defence Force will not miss every valuable data collection, and strive to grasp this unknown force with great potential as soon as possible.

They did a good job, they were fully committed, and they were serious, but the progress of the research was not satisfactory.

To put it bluntly, it is a bottleneck and the progress is stagnant.

"The researchers found that 'imitations' alone do not elicit empathy. ”

The medical department of the Defence Force has been trying to train and mass-produce soldiers with paranormal perception, both in order to gain a battlefield advantage and in an attempt to reproduce the "Axis Impact" through these soldiers. So far, however, there have been no success stories. Whether it's injecting a test subject, using hypnotic suggestion, or using twins with similar biological characteristics - all the methods that can increase the synchronization rate of brain quantum waves have been tried, and the brain quantum wave sensing framework is still unresponsive, and the rainbow light has never appeared even once. The research has reached a dead end entirely.

In this regard, some scholars have put forward a hypothesis.

The synchronization of induction waves formed by technical means is only the synchronization of brain waves of superficial consciousness, and the brain quantum waves that induce the "Axis Impact" originate from the deeper regions of consciousness, so it is impossible to reproduce the phenomenon like the "original" by relying on artificial supernormal sensing ability alone, let alone guide the power of the "Axis Impact" to weaponize it.

"Anyway, you can only use the real thing-"

The face said leisurely:

"Then let the real thing cause the phenomenon, and then you can do it. ”

"So from head to toe, it's all -"

"Traps. ”

Sloth alone can't meet the conditions, so he has to find a way to pull Roland into the water, arouse resonance, and then mentally oppress Roland, brainwash him, and then pour all his malice into the rainbow of resonance - just like dripping ink into a beaker filled with pure water, adding little by little, and observing the changes in the record.

"Thanks to you, everything is going very well! That lord might praise me! Newspapers, special programs, commemorative stamps, oh yes!"

The faces laughed together, and the crew shot at the disgusting monster.

The trigger was indeed pulled and the bullet was fired.

The faces were still laughing wantonly, but the crew members who had fired the shots fell one after another.

- Heaven's Gate.

The ability to manipulate space in Sloth's second form. This ability is to continuously locate several coordinates in space by the scattered clones, forming a segmented plane that separates the spatial continuity, and the things captured by the "segmented surface" will be transferred to another spatial coordinate by the "cutting surface". It was with this ability that Sloss was able to deliver a large number of missiles around the Endeavour, and now he delivered the bullets that flew towards him to the shooter.

But there are several flaws in this ability, and it stands to reason that it cannot be used now.

For example, when commanding an "attack body", in the face of complex combat situations, Slos has no way to be distracted from calculating spatial coordinates.

For example, if the exit or entrance is too far away from the main body, it is difficult to control the timing of the opening and closing of the "cut surface".

The reason why it was possible to overcome obstacles that were difficult to overcome in the past in a short period of time is precisely because of the luminous phenomenon called "Abyss Color".

Monsters and biological weapons are nothing more than by-products of the "Abyssal Color", a terrifying brilliance whose true use is to forcibly connect and seize the consciousness capacity of others through contact. Translated into words that anyone can understand, the "Abyss Color" will turn the flesh of the person it touches into black mud covered with pus and eyeballs, and the brain will become a remote server that will help Sloth process the increased computation and fabrication of space channels.

Tampering with and trampling on the form of life - this is what makes "Abyss Color" taboo and fearful.

With the addition of "Abyss Color", Sloth's power can be said to be even higher, and the perfect completion of the task seems to be at hand.

The human faces trembled with excitement, and just as they squirmed and prepared to kill them all, confusion and disbelief crept up into the filthy faces.

The countless eyes on the surface of the black mud turned to the "color of the abyss" together, and the dazzling colors that were originally like unknown creatures were constantly flickering, and in the flickering light and darkness, the movements of the black mud also stiffened inexplicably.

"This is ......! How dare you!!"

As if sensing why the mutation occurred, the human face made a sound of gnashing teeth, and countless tentacles rushed towards the "Dendrobium Orchid" with lightning speed.

The "Dendrobium Orchid" fixed to the hangar deck could never avoid the tentacles.

And yet—

Before touching the "Dendrobium Orchid", the tentacles unexpectedly froze in mid-air.

Voices of confusion and agitation flowed from the mouth of the human face.

"How could it be...... Actually...... No...... I see......"

It was as if Valrhona was afraid of the silence, unable to kill or burn, and the tentacles that should be fearless of any power twisted and trembled repeatedly, but they just couldn't take a step forward.

It was so unusual that the rest of the crew was bewildered in confusion.

"In that case...... In that case, I'll entertain you!!"

Countless faces roared together, and in the next second, those distorted faces all sank into black mud, and a strange silence once again enveloped the "Endeavour".
