Chapter 552 Testing
Chapter 552 Testing
The interior of the information plane is entirely an ocean of light.
Here, space seems to lose its three-dimensional meaning, replaced by an endless stream of pulsating and shimmering light.
Ten days passed quickly.
Jemin sat in the laboratory created by alchemy, staring at the ten light screens in front of him, his brows furrowed.
The black giant priests moved swiftly through the sea of light in the information plane.
But no matter how they moved forward, they were always surrounded by a pure white void, without direction, without boundaries, and without any living creatures. "Where are the natives?"
Jemin frowned.
Logically speaking, the wizard legion's previous probing was quite significant, and they didn't seem to be deliberately concealing their presence.
Even a relatively primitive civilization, upon encountering such commotion, would at least send someone to investigate what was going on.
More than ten days have passed, and the black giant priests have searched almost the entire surrounding area, but they haven't seen a single trace of him.
It was as if the previous probing had completely failed to attract the other party's attention.
Jemin picked up a cup of tea made with alchemy, took a sip, and continued to stare at the light screen.
Finally, on the thirteenth day, things changed.
In the image, a blurry shadow appears in the distance.
Jemin sat up straight instantly, tossing the teacup in his hand aside.
"Get closer to it."
He issued commands through the destiny system.
The ten black giant priests simultaneously adjusted their direction and slowly approached the ball of light.
As the distance closes, the image becomes clearer.
That was indeed an indigenous animal.
Its form is extremely abstract—like a cluster of light gathered together, without a fixed outline, with tiny wisps of light constantly emanating outward from its edges and then returning to its body.
It is a translucent milky white color, occasionally flashing with a faint golden light.
It has no facial features, no limbs, and not even a clear "front" or "back".
It floated motionless in the sea of light, as if asleep, or as if waiting for something.
Jemin squinted as he looked at the image of the indigenous people on the light screen.
Judging from its appearance, this thing is exactly the same as the creature of light described in the intelligence.
But only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly feel the eeriness...
Because this thing doesn't feel like a living being at all; it's neither "alive" nor "dead."
It's as if it simply "exists" there.
"Let's test the waters."
Jemin gave the order.
The ten black giant priests accelerated simultaneously, roaring as they charged toward the native.
Their bodies were covered in swirling black liquid metal, and their time-accelerating force field was fully activated, allowing them to traverse hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such a huge commotion, the native animal also moved.
But it did not launch any attacks, nor did it erect any shields.
It simply stood still, the light on its surface pulsating slightly.
It's like ripples spreading across the surface of water.
then……
The ten light screens in front of Jemin simultaneously plunged into darkness.
Jemin's pupils contracted sharply.
"What happened?!"
He suddenly stood up, braced his hands on the lab table, and stared intently at the pitch-black light screen.
The connection to the Fate System has been broken, indicating that the life characteristics of all ten Black Giant Priests have disappeared.
For an instant.
They didn't even have a chance to resist.
Jemin took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the Destiny System, and began to recall the events that the ten black giant priests had just experienced.
The information channel of the Destiny System is not only a tool to assist in data processing, but it also automatically records all the information that passes through it—in the words of the cultivation world, it can display the past and present lives of all the beings under its command.
So Jemin is now searching for records of the deaths of those 10 black giant priests.
Soon, a data stream appeared in Jamin's mind, allowing him to "see" everything that had just happened.
In the black giant's view, the native creature only showed a slight fluctuation of light on its body surface, seemingly without any other movement.
However, according to the records of the Fate System, at that very moment, an extremely subtle flow of information instantly surged into the cores of the ten black giant priests. That flow of information precisely locked onto the energy balance formula deep within the soul core of each priest.
In order to combine the talents of the Lava Giant and the Yeti, Jemin designed an extremely ingenious core structure for the Black Giant—multiple elemental energies mutually restrain and transform each other, forming a dynamic equilibrium system.
What that information flow did was modify several key parameters in the balance formula.
Once the balance is broken, the energy backflow will instantly spiral out of control.
It's like gently adjusting the weights on a precise balance scale.
then……
Ten scales tipped over at the same time.
Energy backflow, core collapse, self-destruction.
There was no external attack; it was purely "suicide."
After reading the record, Jemin couldn't help but frown.
"Directly read the core information...and then modify it..."
He muttered to himself, his face turning extremely pale.
What does this mean?
This means that anything built based on rune arrangements and energy formulas is transparent to these natives.
They can directly "see" the core structure, then find the most vulnerable point, and with a gentle touch, cause the entire system to self-destruct. "What about my Fiery Annihilation Divine Light?"
"What about Guixu Jia?"
Several thoughts flashed through Jemin's mind.
Although these spells have been modified, their underlying logic remains the arrangement and combination of elemental energies. If the opponent can truly see through everything… “No, the previous intelligence indicated that several wizards also used witchcraft to kill enemies; not all man-made objects can be deciphered.” Jemin quickly found the key: “So my previous guess was probably correct. The level of this race’s counterattack against attacks also depends on the complexity of the information contained in the attack.”
"However, we cannot be careless. Judging from the speed at which the Black Giant Priest collapsed, if an artifact is simply a large amount of information and has a complex structure, but has obvious internal flaws, it can also be easily defeated."
Just as Jemin was doing his analysis, a strong sense of crisis suddenly descended upon him.
Jemin's hair stood on end.
He sensed something invading in reverse along the signal channel of the destiny system!
That indigenous bird!
While reading the core information of the Black Giant Priest, it also captured the observation signal frequency band remaining on the priest's body, as well as the information channel connecting to Jemin's main body.
Now, it has crossed space directly through this passage!
Before Jemin could think any further, a dazzling golden light instantly emanated from between his brows.
The destiny system is operating at full capacity.
The next instant, the two streams of information collided in the void.
Jemin felt as if he were in a sea of data—countless fragments of information were frantically devouring him.
The information stream transmitted by the indigenous person carried a strange "activity," attempting to analyze his core and find his weaknesses.
But the destiny system is not to be underestimated.
As a subsystem within the temple dedicated to information processing, it now displays terrifying computing power.
Jemin felt as if countless hands had sprung up in his mind, each processing the intruding information at an unbelievable speed: decomposing, recombining, suppressing, and counterattacking.
When Jemin came to his senses, he realized that he had firmly suppressed the other party's flow of information.
He could even vaguely sense the location of the native creature by following that passage.
"Got you...?"
A cold glint flashed in Jemin's eyes as he prepared to retaliate.
However, just as he was about to make his move, the information flow abruptly stopped.
The other party proactively cut off contact.
Jemin was taken aback, then clicked his tongue, looking displeased.
"Did they flee as soon as they sensed the situation was unfavorable?"
He stared at the still-dark screen, as if he could see the native creature.
"I'll have to learn this trick sooner or later."
Jemin muttered through gritted teeth.
"I'll let you experience what it's like to have your account hacked!"
Before the words were finished...
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded throughout the entire ship's dock.
The sound was extremely penetrating, as if it exploded directly in the depths of everyone's hearts.
The walls of the laboratory where Jemin was located were shaking, and the alchemically crafted tables and chairs made a faint creaking sound.
Jemin suddenly turned his head to look out the window.
