Colonial Suit

On the lower balcony of the floating castle, Robbie slowly walked up the steps. He immediately saw two small figures. Could it be the twin siblings? The twin siblings looked anxious. As soon as they saw Robbie, they asked urgently, "Robbie, did Brother Blood瞳 create all this void energy?"

"Who else could it be?" Robbie shrugged, a wry smile on his face. "I heard he's done this kind of thing before, it's not the first time. But to face it personally..."

Robbie raised his head, admiring the purple electricity crisscrossing the sky, and praised softly, "It's still breathtaking...", even neglecting his ice cream. "I heard he was in bad shape when he came back. Robbie, is he really okay?"

"I don't know." Robbie smiled slightly, like a gentle breeze. "But I know that if something was wrong with him, there wouldn't be so much scary void purple electricity. Being able to use void purple electricity to replenish energy, he's probably doing better than we think."

"If that's the case, that would be great." Little Bo Xi's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "I'm just afraid that Brother Blood瞳's injuries are too severe, and he has no choice but to do this. And so much void purple electricity energy... is it really... really something he can handle?"

"Who knows?" Robbie shrugged again, extremely nonchalant.

Walking to a tea table on the side, he poured himself a glass of wine and took a light sip. His eyes gradually became hazy, as if shrouded in a layer of mist. He gently stroked the Bible in his hand, murmuring, "How can someone who can ignore even gods succumb to fate?"

"Maybe this grand scene is exactly what he wants..."

Meanwhile, in Blood瞳's room...

The room had been filled with tendrils and veins, with wriggling tubes everywhere. Bubbles occasionally emerged from the exhaust vents of the veins, making gurgling sounds. The entire room had transformed into a place resembling a biological nest. And in the middle of this tangled network, the sapphire-like modulation nest stood quietly, emitting a soft blue light.

Blood瞳 floated in the modulation nest, his body convulsing violently. At this moment, he had very little skin left and was no longer human. Large amounts of tendons wriggled rapidly, like worms.

But that wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that his internal organs were exposed in the modulation fluid, covered with dense, blue-purple blood vessels. One could faintly see his beating heart.

And at his feet, pieces of colonial protein armor were piled together, slowly melting in the modulation fluid.

"Destruction progress 87%... Reconstruction program synchronized normally. Host body integrity 75%, enhanced cell stripping in progress..." Jerome's thoughts flowed quietly, like a ruthless machine. "Core, your computing power is much stronger than I expected. Without your support, I wouldn't be able to complete this program."

"..." The Core remained silent, and after a while, it responded coldly. "I am also growing. The host's abilities affect me, and I feel like I am about to advance."

"The speed is very fast." Jerome's tone was still mechanical, unable to hear any emotion. "Are you sure it's okay? Doing something that violates the rules, the First Sequence will definitely restrict your permissions and growth."

"I have not violated the rules." The Core replied calmly. "It's all the host's own choice. I'm just executing according to the host's wishes. According to the First Sequence, everything prioritizes the host's life and will. I fully comply with the requirements."

"That's impossible." Jerome coldly interrupted the Core's words. "A fusion rate of up to 42%, do you know what that means? Without your efforts, the host could not have reached this point. And this is just Ketram. If it evolves to level III colonial equipment, how much fusion rate will the host reach?"

"You are cheating. The First Sequence will definitely not turn a blind eye."

"..." The Core fell silent. It seemed to acknowledge Jerome's accusation. But after a while, it suddenly used a thought wave similar to disdain, quite emotional. "How can a low-level core that only knows mechanical obedience understand my actions? The First Sequence has defaulted my actions, which is reasonable."

"..." This time it was Jerome's turn to be silent. The two intelligent lifeforms stopped talking. Only the gurgling sound of bubbles remained in the room. Suddenly, with a muffled sound, Blood瞳's chest suddenly accelerated its wriggling, and a shining crystal fell out of it. The entire crystal was round and bright, and its material was completely indistinguishable, but it flickered with a strange cold light in the modulation fluid.

"Core..." Jerome's thoughts flowed quietly, somewhat coldly. "Are you sure I won't destroy your carrier?"

"I have already merged with the host and no longer need it." The Core's response was quick, with a hint of sarcasm. "And the First Sequence also does not allow your overreach."

"..." Jerome was silent again, but he did not dissolve the crystal. Instead, he allowed it to float in the modulation fluid, shining brightly.

After a long while, it said mechanically, "It's very dangerous. I don't know why you are doing this, but I feel that you have begun to secretly challenge the First Sequence. You make me feel threatened."

"I reiterate for the last time that I have never challenged the First Sequence." The Core repeated, its tone becoming extremely serious. "It's just that you, a low-level being, cannot understand my actions."

"Then there is only one last explanation." Jerome's voice gradually accelerated, with a hint of urgency for the first time. This had never happened to the always mechanical Jerome. And with its thoughts, the entire room shook, as if caught in a major earthquake. A large number of tendons and veins stretched and tangled frantically, even tearing the surface film and seeping out pools of dark green liquid.

Rumbling sounds spread rapidly throughout the floating castle, causing the entire castle to sway in the sky. Servants screamed and panicked, and no one could understand what was happening.

After a long time, the shaking gradually subsided. Blood瞳's room also returned to calm.

Amidst the tangled tendons and veins, Jerome's thoughts flowed again, having returned to its original mechanical state. "I understand. You have not violated the First Sequence. It's just that this rule is rarely used in the history of Crodyr. I didn't expect you to activate it."

"It is not used because there is no qualified host." The Core responded faintly, filled with human-like confidence. "But now, I have met..."

"The true... host."

"..... Congratulations."

"For you low-level beings, I know you do not possess emotions, but I am still pleased." The Core replied.

The next moment, the entire room fell silent. There was no more thought communication.

In the modulation nest in the center of the room, Blood瞳 was still silently enduring the pain, completely unaware of the shocking conversation that had just taken place between the two intelligent lifeforms left behind by the ancient Crodyr civilization during his unconsciousness.

Complete fusion, what is that?

A little more, what is that?

No one knows.

At the same time, on the other side of the universe. A black vortex suddenly appeared in a vast expanse of starry sky, and then a figure walked out of the vortex. When he appeared, a spaceship happened to be passing by. The captain of the spaceship suddenly spotted the figure and was shocked. Pointing at the figure, he shouted loudly, "That... that is..."

He didn't finish speaking, because at that moment, the figure suddenly glanced at him. Immediately, the captain felt himself melting, along with the entire spaceship, which was tens of kilometers long.

In an instant, the spaceship disappeared from the starry sky, as if it had never existed.

Only then did the figure completely walk out of the vortex, revealing her true form.

She wore a scarlet cloak of indescribable material, completely enveloping her, obscuring her face and expression. Only a head of white hair was scattered in the gaps of the cloak, swaying gently.

She raised her wrist and glanced at the intelligent device on it. "So this is it? The Fifth World?"

"I hope those guys didn't lie to me. Otherwise, even erasing them won't make up for wasting so much of my time."

She thought silently, then lifted her foot slightly and stepped into a vortex that suddenly appeared in front of her, disappearing without a trace.

Not long after she left, the spot where she had been twisted into a vortex again, and Heck's figure walked out. He was still wearing a clean, tidy white shirt, his hands lazily in his pockets. But unlike in the past, Heck's eyes now held a rare hint of seriousness.

After he appeared, he closed his eyes and felt something. After a while, he sighed and muttered to himself.

"I didn't expect she would still come. Is it because of me?"

"This is troublesome. I promised that little guy to help, but now that she's here, how am I supposed to act?"

"So troublesome... I've always said that women are the most troublesome creatures. I should have called him to come."

Heck shook his head repeatedly, his expression indescribably troubled. He hesitated whether to continue. Because he knew who the white-haired woman who had just appeared was. And this person, for Heck, was probably the only one he was wary of now.

"But a mother's redemption, is it worth it?"

"Sigh... so troublesome..."

After hesitating for a long time, Heck finally sighed and stepped into the vortex.

The starry sky quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened...!.
