Chapter 1016: Chapter 291: Meat Mountain (Part 3)
"An Wuping..."
Suddenly, the tangle in Chen Ming’s mind seemed to be unraveled.
Right, why was he considering other people?
Since he could solve this problem himself, why rely on others?
The Fifth Legion would arrive slower than him, and he had the full ability to resolve the dimensional infection completely before they arrived and attempted to gain its power.
The president didn’t notice Chen Ming’s peculiarity, and continued speaking, "An Wuping is slightly less powerful, but at least his goal has always been to resolve Zuo Jing."
"Plus, he’s been missing for the past few years, untraceable, clearly lacking intelligence channels, he wouldn’t know how to acquire the power of dimensional infection scattered by Zuo Jing."
"His encounter with Zuo Jing at the Earth Core Melting Furnace Power Tower has been reported, the Fifth Legion should focus there soon, and many will head over. It’s uncertain what his situation will be."
"There’s really no other way."
"So be it then."
Chen Ming hurriedly ended the call, stopped the work of his real and fake body, and focused entirely on An Wuping.
Indeed, no matter the situation, in the end, you have to rely on yourself.
As long as he kills the Host, the Fifth Legion’s idea of using dimensional infection power would naturally collapse.
The threat from Zuo Jing, who had fully obtained the dimensional infection power, would be eliminated.
Those who haven’t experienced dimensional infection are unworthy, and cannot possibly wield this power properly.
And those who have experienced it, unless they are mad or foolish, can clearly see the horror of this power and would never attempt to touch it.
Therefore, Chen Ming must completely destroy this power here.
Before the Psychic of the Fifth Legion arrives.
Chen Ming firmed his resolve.
Continued advancing underground.
At the same time, he gradually felt the surrounding environment growing hotter, and the mental pressure on him increased heavily.
Finally.
After shattering an underground isolation layer of the Earth Core Melting Furnace Power Tower.
A barrier made of flesh appeared before Chen Ming.
And after tearing through this barrier.
Beneath was a giant Meat Mountain.
He finally found the target.
In Chen Ming’s mind were some research reports released by Zuo Jing about dimensional infection.
When the dimensional infection occurred, Zuo Jing immediately removed the mutated tissue and transplanted it onto a Psychic who volunteered for the experiment.
Upon triggering the dimensional infection power, it transformed into today’s colossal Meat Mountain monstrosity blocking the tower below.
As Chen Ming discovered the Meat Mountain.
A massive wave of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation surged toward Chen Ming, its effects from the Host were enough to influence An Wuping’s current state.
This caused a significant distortion in An Wuping’s perception.
Everything in An Wuping’s view became twisted, chaotic.
The whole world was filled with nauseating flesh, only outside the Power Supply Tower was pure land, the escape route; the Host aimed to lure An Wuping out.
Even Chen Ming himself was affected.
Error surfaced in Chen Ming’s cognition.
The Meat Mountain before him no longer resembled its previous form, but appeared as a mass of imminent decaying flesh, requiring only a slight jab to be killed effortlessly.
Even though he had just been staring at the gigantic Meat Mountain, he was unaware of any anomaly.
Though Chen Ming wasn’t deceived.
Within seconds of being influenced, he realized the issue.
Because the Insect Queen’s consciousness and Chen Ming’s consciousness had long been integrated with the Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin.
And when Chen Ming’s primary focus shifted onto An Wuping, the Insect Queen’s consciousness naturally came along, the hive mind of the Insect Race led by the Insect Queen also attached onto An Wuping.
The number of insects the Insect Queen had now, even Chen Ming was unclear, but surely more than the population on a typical colony planet.
This quantity of consciousness wasn’t susceptible to mind control.
The Insect Queen thus resisted the Host’s attack.
As soon as the Insect Queen identified the issue, it equaled Chen Ming identifying the issue.
Chen Ming could completely through the Insect Queen’s perspective see the true situation in reality, unaffected at all.
Moreover, Chen Ming discovered a peculiar phenomenon.
The gigantic Meat Mountain seemed to "breathe."
Not precisely breathing, but it made motions similar to breathing.
Just when the Meat Mountain released Spiritual Energy Fluctuation toward him, it entered an exhalation state, and the whole Spiritual Energy Fluctuation exhibited a unique and uncontrollable characteristic.
As the wave of fluctuation gradually dissipated, the Meat Mountain entered an inhalation state, stabilizing the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation again, if not observed closely, Chen Ming might truly think this Meat Mountain was just flesh, devoid of any fluctuation.
The state of this Meat Mountain changed constantly between active exhalation and gentle inhalation.
Like the Host’s fluctuation and tropical climate, it had an unstable active and stable period.
And when the Host’s fluctuation was in the active period, not only did his fluctuation become chaotic, but also resulted in some repercussions that felt familiar to Chen Ming.
