Chapter 480 Boss Bai, Wishing You Good Health (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking follow-up subscriptions!)

"ASH, who exactly is that person?"

On the way to the Kloto system control room, Bai Yuekui looked at ASH leading the way and suddenly asked a question that seemed to come out of nowhere.

However, upon hearing this question, ASH seemed to have expected it and answered naturally: "His name is Wu Xian. He was originally a worker in the Lighthouse Research Department. Two hours ago, he was tricked by the head of the research department and forcibly stuffed into the armor called the Abyss Walker in an attempt to activate it."

"The One Who Stands on the Edge?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuekui's expression turned somewhat astonished.

Ever since speaking with Ash aboard the Swift, she had made many guesses about the identity of that "great being," whether it was another extraterrestrial civilization similar to the Mana ecosystem, or a scheme orchestrated by the original Mana entity after it controlled Ash.

But no matter what, I never expected it to turn out like this.

An ordinary person who was forced into the Abyss Armor due to scheming actually succeeded her father in making ASH willingly believe that she was his master... To be honest, this is not just outrageous, it's outrageous to the extreme.

Bai Yuekui felt a sense of disbelief, then thought of something and asked again, "From what you're saying, the Abyss One should have been successfully activated. What happened afterward? Did that Wu Xian have any special reaction?"

In this world, no one understands Lin Yuanzhe better than Bai Yuekui.

That's no ordinary mechanical armor; its raw materials come from the Mana Primordial Body, and it possesses the characteristics of Mana creatures and a portion of the remaining will of the Mana Primordial Body.

Therefore, to master it in battle, one needs not only a vast amount of life force as fuel, but also a sufficiently strong mental will.

Otherwise, even humans who have achieved carbon-based immortality, like Bai Yuekui, might eventually have their will devoured by the Lin Yuan Zhe, becoming nothing more than large batteries for the armor to operate.

ASH did not answer immediately this time, because they had already passed through a hidden metal corridor and arrived at the door of the control room where the Kloto system was located.

“Yuekui, I know what you’re worried about, but please rest assured, that person is not on the side of ecology. At least in my opinion, he is more like a human being than anyone else in the Lighthouse.”

ASH chuckled softly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, as the metal gate in front of him, strong enough to withstand tank fire, slowly opened to both sides.

"Of course, this is just my opinion. You will have to judge for yourself what the truth is."

Bai Yuekui frowned, but the next second, her attention was drawn to the scene in front of her.

A giant glass culture tank stands in the center of the empty hall, with a brain tissue emitting a pinkish-purple halo, integrated with the machine, immersed in it. On the surface of the cerebral cortex, countless tentacle-like nerve bundles sway constantly, creating an indescribable eerie beauty.

"The Cloto System, the right brain of Mana's initial body..."

For a moment, Bai Yuekui was stunned and lost in thought. But at that moment, a strong sense of crisis descended, causing her to instantly enter a state of flow. The flow of everything around her suddenly slowed down, as if the whole world had fallen into stillness.

Even so, there are still fast-moving objects in this world.

Blue light flashed before her eyes. Bai Yuekui seemed not to have expected that even in a state of flow, something could still escape her sight. She had no time to dodge or retreat, and could only subconsciously raise the "Alaya Consciousness" in her hand and hold it horizontally in front of her.

Bang----!!!
Two excessively powerful physical forces collided, creating visible ripples in the air.

Bai Yuekui bent his knees slightly, looking at the silver-armored man who was throwing a punch at him, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes.

And... this sudden attack right off the bat... could it be that Ash has actually been devoured and assimilated by Mana's original form and is deliberately setting a trap to scheme against him?

In the blink of an eye, an even more immense and terrifying power surged from ahead, and Bai Yuekui could even hear the crisp sound of the scabbard cracking. Faced with the immense pressure from the Abyss, Bai Yuekui dared not be careless in the slightest. Suddenly, he released the hilt of his sword and gave up resisting. As a result, the Abyss briefly lost his balance and took two steps forward.

Just then, in a state of flow, Bai Yuekui slightly turned his body, seemingly dodging Lin Yuanzhe's punch with a narrow escape. He then raised his hands and, using a motion similar to making a Rasengan, rapidly rotated them around the surface of the fist, actually creating a spherical beam of light.

In an instant, the gravity of this space seemed to be forcibly concentrated to a single point, and everything around it was suspended in mid-air, as if it would be swallowed up by this sudden burst of gravity at any moment.

Even the once invincible Lin Yuanzhe on the lighthouse was now forced to kneel on one knee.

The fist, enveloped by the spherical beam of light, twisted and deformed continuously, as if it had been stuffed into a small, constantly rotating black hole, making it impossible to move even an inch.

This is a unique source potential energy belonging to Bai Yuekui. The principle is similar to the optical tweezers technology of the old world. It can use the properties of light to form a dynamic force field. By adjusting the intensity gradient and phase gradient, the light sphere can achieve adjustable pulling or pushing force when it comes into contact with macroscopic objects.

Simply put, it means being able to manipulate changes in biofields, even penetrating into tiny particles, manipulating and moving cells, and even the basic material structure of any object—it sounds terrifying.

Unfortunately, since that incident, Bai Yuekui's physical condition has deteriorated significantly. Not only have his cells suffered irreversible deterioration, but the potential of his source essence has also been reduced to less than half of its peak, making it impossible for him to completely suppress the Abyss Walker at full power.

So after sealing its actions, Bai Yuekui immediately drew his Alaya consciousness and, with lightning speed imperceptible to the naked eye, wielded the Tang sword that incorporated the advanced technology of Dragon Bone Village, unleashing nine simultaneous slashes at the vital points of Lin Yuanzhe's limbs, torso, neck, head, and ribs in an instant.

The sharp blade light was so dazzling that it was impossible to observe, like a brilliant star, freely radiating azure light. Like a dimensional slash from a certain hairspray master, it locked down all the vital points of the one who was about to fall into the abyss, cutting him into countless pieces.

With a hum, Bai Yuekui's afterimages that had spread outwards returned to their original positions and merged back together, as if they had never moved at all. But in reality, this was just an illusion that the naked eye could not keep up with the speed of overclocking.

"Cough cough!!"

Only then did an unnatural blush appear on Bai Yuekui's face, and she lowered her head to cough up bright red blood, clearly indicating that the outburst had brought her considerable backlash.

However, it was all worth it. The materials used by the Abyss Walker ultimately came from the Mana Primordial Body, and she had already thoroughly researched its defensive limits. It was absolutely unable to withstand the slash just now...

With that thought in mind, Bai Yuekui looked ahead, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

Lin Yuanzhe, who was thought to be torn to pieces, was still kneeling in place, completely unharmed.

What surprised Bai Yuekui even more was that the slashes she had unleashed earlier were suspended around Lin Yuanzhe, as if bound and solidified by an invisible force, which looked very strange.

What exactly happened?

Bai Yuekui was shocked and could hardly understand the strange scene before him.

"Very good strength, but the body is a little weak."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind. Bai Yuekui was startled and immediately moved to create a safe distance from the owner of the voice.

But almost at the same time, a palm radiating red light suddenly magnified infinitely in her vision and finally pressed down on her small, oval face.

"Since it's our first meeting, I didn't prepare any gift beforehand, so I'll just give you good health as a gift."
