Chapter 1033: Chapter 786: The Core Mystery
The Golden Battleship had an incredibly vast interior space. After all, this Golden Battleship was as large as a planet, and yet its owner had only a little over a hundred people, so, in fact, most of the space inside was empty.
The two damaged cores were housed in a huge warehouse.
Contrary to expectations, Ruosha and Isrile had thought that the cores capable of powering the Star Devourers would be, at the very least, hundreds of kilometers in size. But surprisingly, the entire diameter of a core was actually less than five hundred meters.
"It’s surprising that such a small thing can power such a large planet," Isrile said.
"I bet this thing is either Giant technology or the technology of the gods," Ruosha said.
"In fact, according to our conjecture, these things are very likely to have been created by the gods," Mekar said.
This time, accompanying Ruosha and Isrile were Mekar and his student Yi Zhuo.
"Have the gods gone mad? To create such a thing?" Ruosha curled her lip.
"The gods indeed went mad," Isrile said.
Ruosha immediately thought of Crystal Poison, something even more insane than the Star Devourers! And to think the gods died at the hands of Crystal Poison!
The core of the Star Devourer was made of an unknown substance. There was a huge cavity on one side, a trace left by the attack of the Balance Church. It was said that some liquid had flowed out from within initially, which dissipated immediately after leaving the core, leaving only an empty shell.
Ruosha and Isrile began to explore inside the core, delving into the damaged space. They discovered that the interior was structured like a honeycomb, with one tetrahedron after another forming the inner space. These tetrahedrons had an extremely stable structural characteristic, which made the core as a whole incredibly robust.
In every tetrahedron’s space, there were extremely complex runes that were completely identical, as if they were replicated.
"Haven’t you tried to open up a new tetrahedron to take a look?" Ruosha asked Yi Zhuo standing beside her.
"No, when we got this core, we were only left with these people. We couldn’t afford more losses, and besides, no one really has the fighting capacity..." Yi Zhuo said helplessly.
"Don’t you have a Life Replication Machine? Can’t you revive them?"
"The comrades we lost were devoured by the Star Devourers; their souls no longer exist, we can’t revive them."
Ruosha nodded her head; she had never experienced it herself, but she could somewhat understand that feeling of desperation.
"Stand aside, I’m going to try opening up one of these cavities," Ruosha said.
"Alright! Please be careful," Yi Zhuo said cautiously.
Ruosha took a huge anchor out from her personal space, aimed it at the opposite side, stabilized the space, and then smashed it down with great force. A clang resounded, a faint dent appeared in the ground, but it was not broken through!
"Good heavens, who’s tougher, you or me?" Ruosha immediately flared up.
The space was recalibrated and the giant anchor smashed down with an irresistible force!
Bang!
The nearly half-meter-thick ground was directly penetrated, and at the same time, a faint blue liquid seeped out from the fissure. Almost simultaneously, a familiar force came through.
"Kela Particles?" Ruosha felt very surprised; this was the first time she’d ever seen something other than herself containing Kela Particles.
However, the Kela Particles in this blue liquid weren’t concentrated, and there weren’t many. Ruosha immediately activated her own Kela Particles, and the blue liquid shone brightly. Not only that, but the surrounding arrays were also re-illuminating! The light from those arrays reflected in Ruosha’s eyes, revealing a series of brand-new magic!
Space Magic!
At this moment, Isrile’s voice came through the contract, "What’s happening! All the arrays around me are glowing! And the broken parts are self-repairing!"
Ruosha said, "I just got some magic, let’s exit first. I seem to have gotten a slight grasp on how to use this core."
The four people left from the damaged area, and at this moment, Ruosha’s eyes were filled with blue glimmers, the Kela Particles constantly circulating, and the arrays were endlessly reassembling on the damaged core surface.
"The Star Devourer is a spatial consciousness entity, and the substance forming its consciousness is a suspension of Kela Particles," Ruosha said. "Although it’s enormous, it doesn’t possess much intelligence; it has only instinct, an instinct imparted by its creator—that is, to devour all planets."
"Originally, no one in the entire plane should have been able to stop them, but fortunately when it comes to Kela Particles, besides the gods, I don’t believe anyone could play with them better than I can."
Speaking of which, Ruosha clapped her hands, and the already damaged core of the Star Devourer rapidly healed, then burst into dazzling light!
"You! What have you done!" Mekar yelled out loud.
"Don’t worry, I assure you it’s nothing too dangerous!" Ruosha said, squeezing her hand suddenly, and the originally enormous core started to shrink rapidly until it was left the size of a green bean!
Ruosha looked at the little bean in her hand, glowing with a faint blue light, and laughed, "This is easier than I thought."
With the experience of the first one, the second core was naturally not a challenge either. The second little bean landed in Ruosha’s hand and stuck to the first one.
"Okay, aren’t you going to explain to me what exactly is going on here?" Isrile demanded, looking straight at Ruosha.
Ruosha giggled, then explained in detail.
It turned out that as a spatial consciousness entity, these cores needed a stable space to give birth to consciousness. Its shell had been shattered, the space ruptured, and the original consciousness had also disappeared. However, when Ruosha infused it with Kela Particles, the core’s Array was reactivated. The spatial Magic previously attached to the core was also absorbed by Ruosha. Through this spatial Magic, Ruosha was then able to repair the cores—after all, in terms of spatial structure, so-called damage is nothing more than different spatial positions of matter.
Subsequently, Ruosha further compressed the space to make the two cores as small as beans. It’s not that the cores themselves changed, but rather the space around them did. Only someone like Ruosha, who possessed the Kela Particles, could move them at will, or if you were mighty enough to push the huge core that was over five hundred meters in size.
"Alright, now that you’ve got the core of the Star Devourers, what can it be used for?" Isrile asked, envy in her eyes.
"I haven’t decided yet, but since I got the first and the second one, I think, eventually, I will be able to get more!" Ruosha proudly said to Isrile.
At this moment, both the Azure Sky Empire and the Hong En Empire in the middle Plane were nearly scared to death, for the reason was the Silver Battleships anchored nearby. These huge battleships may not have shown any intention to attack, but their sheer presence was enough to terrify everyone.
Not long ago, these battleships had delivered verbal messages from Ruosha and Isrile, asking the Emperors of the two nations to secretly investigate whether someone was continuously pushing forward research on spatial Fissures. This request was somewhat puzzling and sudden, without any clear background or consequence. However, the instinct of being Emperors let them know that this might be the key to why these powerful fleets might attack their own countries, so both Emperors formally began investigations, to surprising results. It turned out that in both the Azure Sky Empire and the Hong En Empire, there were several scientists continually promoting research on spatial Fissures; not only was this their own field of study, but they were also constantly demanding that the Empires focus their research on spatial Fissures, as if there were treasures hidden within them.
Spatial Fissures refer to the zones between one space and another space—a concept hard to describe. Although called Fissures, the space here should actually be vast—the most important thing was, nobody knew what was in there.
Exploring the unknown isn’t wrong, but being so active in exploring a place without knowing what lies within was a bit strange.
And more in-depth investigation and research found that the families of these scientists actively pushing the investigation on spatial Fissures all originated from the same planet.
This was problematic.
However, the sly Emperors of both nations didn’t alarm them; apart from their most trusted confidants, no one else knew that the Emperors were investigating them.
Some secret agents, disguised as adventurers, went to that planet secretly to investigate and found that the planet was almost bizarre in every aspect.
First, the planet wasn’t big, and the areas suitable for human habitation were concentrated in a small region. There were no abundant resources, the population wasn’t large, but there was a very developed nation.
According to the local residents, their ancestors had once received help from the Giants.
This could be possible, but how many people could there have been during their ancestors’ time, given such a small population?
And the investigation took an even stranger turn when a certain star map surfaced.
This star map was found by the Emperor of the Hong En Empire, who then secretly made a copy and passed it to the Emperor of the Azure Sky Empire.
At the location of the planet, a huge red circle was drawn, but within the red circle was empty space!
"This is a star map left behind by the Giants, and at that time, there was no planet here at all, nor was there any planet’s orbit passing through here," wrote the Emperor of Hong En next to it.
In other words, did this planet just pop up out of nowhere?
The investigation had reached this stage with more mysteries emerging. However, because Ruosha and Isrile had not told the Emperors what exactly had happened, they dared not make any rash moves, as this might very well lead to the downfall of their nations!
Later, the findings of these investigations were sent to a Silver Battleship, which then immediately returned.
A few hours later, this investigative report was presented to Ruosha and Isrile. Along with the report, there also came a picture of that planet.
"Are you thinking what I’m thinking?" Isrile asked Ruosha as she pointed to the planet.
"No, it should be that you’re thinking what I’m thinking," Ruosha rolled her eyes at Isrile.(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to cast a recommendation vote or a monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
