Colonial Suit

#193 - Shocked at the tomb

A battle ended with the invaders being slaughtered.

A month later, not a single crew member could be seen on the entire planet. All of them had been killed, either hunted down by the Rotuskans or devoured by the Blood Nests.

Blood Eye also received a notification from the Core, indicating that the mission to seal the message was complete.

However, he couldn't care less about that now, because he had a much bigger problem: his ever-increasing appetite.

He didn't know if it was because the Bio-Armor was preparing to evolve, but his appetite had been growing rapidly, from one ton of food per meal to two tons, then three. In the past month, it had finally reached a terrifying five tons. Almost all of his time was spent eating, leaving him no free time at all.

Such a huge consumption of food could not be sustained by the tribe alone. Fortunately, Wright's mental sense could control countless mutated beasts, which provided him with support. Almost all the mutated beasts in the Shattered Bone Lands were hunting day and night to prepare food for Blood Eye. Every day, the corpses of beasts piled up outside the camp like small mountains.

This kind of appetite obviously surprised everyone. Everyone wondered where Blood Eye was putting all the food. To hold that much food would require a space large enough to fit hundreds of Blood Eyes inside. Yet, Blood Eye ate it all up every time. Watching Blood Eye eat day and night, Robbie even joked that Blood Eye's stomach was like a black hole.

But just yesterday, after Blood Eye ate a whole mammoth's hind leg, he suddenly let out a burp and didn't want to eat anything else. At the same time, he felt the connection between the Bio-Armor and him almost completely severed. Only the Core maintained a faint connection.

This is… hibernation?

The thought suddenly flashed through Blood Eye's mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. This Bio-Armor… could it have turned into a pig?

Standing up, Blood Eye walked out of the ice house that he hadn't left for more than half a month. He said in a low voice, "Someone, call Wright over."

"Yes, my lord." A tribal guard, who had been waiting, respectfully replied and ran off. After a while, Wright's figure appeared in Blood Eye's sight.

"My lord, have you accumulated enough bio-energy?" He knelt on one knee as soon as he saw Blood Eye, his expression calm.

As a Giant King, he knew very well why Blood Eye was eating so ravenously. It was entirely due to the Bio-Armor's lack of energy. In the past, the Krodir had countless ways to replenish the consumed energy, but now there was only one way: eating. Bio-energy was not ordinary energy; it could not be replenished by the means of mechanical civilization. Whether it was energy blocks or nuclear reactors, they could only provide material energy, which was meaningless to the Bio-Armor.

"Well, I feel like it's almost enough," Blood Eye nodded, then told Wright to get up. "I already know what's been happening these past few days. You've done well. Not a single Xilek person can be left alive."

"Yes, my lord. I will definitely not let them take away the secret of Aeskolte," Wright replied in a low voice, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes. Then he lowered his head again.

"Then, is my lord going to rebuild the Divine Domain next?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you for this matter," Blood Eye pondered for a moment, then asked, "How has your preparation been these past few days?"

"67% of the nodes have been connected," Wright replied readily. "However, many nodes have already died, and I can't activate them. With the remaining nodes, we can't restore the original Divine Domain. My lord, we have too little energy."

"I don't need to restore it to that period," Blood Eye shook his head. He understood Wright's difficulties. In fact, without the support of the Krodir civilization, replenishing bio-energy had become the most difficult thing. Even his Bio-Armor could only be replenished by eating, let alone the ordinary bio-nodes on this planet?

These nodes were more like living beings than tools. It was already good enough that they had survived for countless years; expecting them to provide bio-energy was simply impossible.

However, with 67% of the nodes surviving, it was no problem to concentrate on creating a small Divine Domain. The only difficulty was the central control hub.

Originally, Blood Eye had planned to temporarily use the Core and then modify the broad-area control hub of the Shattered Bone Lands. But now, the Core had fallen into hibernation. Blood Eye didn't know when the Core would wake up, but he couldn't wait.

"Is there any way to rebuild a control hub?" Without the Core's help, Blood Eye could only ask Wright for help.

"My lord, this is exactly what I want to tell you," Hearing Blood Eye's question, Wright's face revealed a solemn expression. "I've discovered something during this time."

"What is it?" Blood Eye was a little surprised. The fact that Wright was so solemn showed how important this matter was, which made him curious.

"The planet's defense hub is still alive."

"Hmm?" Blood Eye was stunned.

This news was too shocking. A living defense hub, what a great wealth that would be! In the Great Chaos era, the Krodir civilization was almost completely destroyed. Their legacy, even a little bit, was extremely precious. A living defense hub was simply a treasure trove.

But before Blood Eye's joy could rise, Wright's next sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

"Although it's not dead, it's already in hibernation. And after contact, I discovered that it's not a simple defense hub, but a complete Tomb Body."

"Complete Tomb Body? What is that?" Blood Eye asked in confusion. He didn't have any information about this thing in his memory.

"The Tomb Body is one of the most basic defense bodies of the Krodir," Wright explained patiently. "Its cell samples are taken from the Starry Sky Beasts. At first, it's just a strengthened cell cluster. It can be shot into the interior of the planet with weapons. Then, the Tomb Body will devour the minerals and nuclear energy inside the planet to proliferate itself, growing a defense network covering the globe. The part of this network exposed on the surface is the Blood Nest."

"And then?" Blood Eye asked with interest. He realized that this thing was not that simple.

Sure enough, Wright continued, "Generally, at this time, the Tomb Body will stop proliferating and transform into a control-oriented defense hub to strengthen the defense of the entire planet. This is how a complete commodity planet is born. It can be sold for a very good price in the universe market. But there is also a situation where the Tomb Body does not transform into a defense hub, but continues to proliferate. This will increase its level and turn it into a Complete Tomb Body."

"The Complete Tomb Body is different from the general Tomb Body. It is not aimed at constructing defenses, but at developing weapons. It constantly devours the planet's core until the entire interior of the planet is completely eaten empty. Then, it fills itself in and replaces the star core."

"Replaces the star core!?" Blood Eye could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart and exclaimed.

"Yes," Wright glanced at Blood Eye and lowered his head again. "Replacing the star core is the first step of the Complete Tomb Body, and then it will continue to devour and proliferate until it occupies the entire planet. At that time, it is the planet, and the planet is it. It will evolve from a complete propulsion system and weapon system, becoming a powerful offensive weapon."

"My lord, under our feet now is a Complete Tomb Body that is hibernating."

"…………" Blood Eye was stunned, and after a long while, he cursed in a low voice. "I'll be damned."

It was too amazing. He never dreamed that this seemingly ordinary Rotuska star under his feet actually had such a big secret. Complete Tomb Body, a weapon the size of a planet, what a terrifying concept! Blood Eye, who came from the x35 apocalypse, could hardly imagine it. Perhaps only the Krodir civilization, which had roamed the universe during the Great Chaos era, could create such a sensational and terrifying weapon.

This kind of thing was simply born for destruction. No wonder the Krodir were attacked by all life in the first place. Such terrible weapons and aggressive consciousness were difficult for any intelligent civilization to tolerate.

But what would happen if he obtained such a legacy?

For a time, Blood Eye was confused. He didn't know how long it had been before he said something like a dream. "Can it still be used?"

"I'm afraid not," Wright also sighed. This was extremely rare on someone as cold as him. "This Complete Tomb Body has mostly died due to lack of energy and massive damage. Only the central part is in hibernation now. But I have been in contact with it. If my lord can authorize it, maybe I can try to activate part of its consciousness and let it become the control hub of the Divine Domain."

"I see, that's good," Blood Eye breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this Complete Tomb Body was his legacy, such a terrifying creature, even just hearing about it, was frightening. If possible, Blood Eye didn't want it to reappear in the world.

But being able to use part of its consciousness to rebuild the Divine Domain was a very good idea.

"Then go ahead and implement it. I won't be staying on this planet for much longer. I must rebuild the Divine Domain before that."

"Yes, my lord. I will go and implement it," Wright replied respectfully, and then left quickly. Looking at his broad back, Blood Eye only felt a sense of confusion.

He found that the things he was coming into contact with were increasingly exceeding the range he could accept. The inheritance of a great and terrible civilization. Was this what he wanted?

Once such a civilization awakens again, will it be a blessing or a disaster for this world?

"Crack." A sound of gravel colliding came from behind. Blood Eye turned his head and saw Robbie's gentle gaze.

A warm and gentle aura was faintly emanating from him, warming Blood Eye's heart.

"You heard everything?" Blood Eye twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that was not a smile.

"I never hear things I shouldn't hear," Robbie replied with a smile, then said seemingly unintentionally. "I only know that sometimes opportunity often means responsibility. And responsibility should not be avoided."

"Are you… ready to face it?"
