Chapter 1018: Chapter 292: Power of the Dimension
Chen Ming returned once again to the iron jungle on the floating isolated island in the cosmic space.
Compared to the last time he came, the area of the island had almost doubled.
Moreover, the density and height of the steel trees on the island had significantly increased.
The isolated island and the steel trees on it in the consciousness space represented Chen Ming’s spiritual strength.
This meant he had made more progress since he last came here.
And in the center of the island.
The mountain constructed from the wreckage of the ship was also taller than before.
Even at the foot of the mountain, in the area that was previously empty, many definitely artificial structures had appeared.
If Chen Ming remembered correctly, these structures belonged to the Mechanical Race.
This should be the form expressed by the Mechanical Race’s swarm hive consciousness centered around him within his consciousness space.
Chen Ming could also see the shadow of the Ship Spirit moving between these buildings.
Upon discovering Chen Ming’s entry into the consciousness space station, it immediately flew to his side, circled him a few times, and then returned to the buildings, continuing its tasks.
Now Chen Ming knew where the Ship Spirit went when it wasn’t on the ship, it was staying in his consciousness space.
It managed these Mechanical Race buildings in the consciousness space.
These structures manufactured some members of the Mechanical Race, collecting raw materials from the steel forest.
The Ship Spirit seemed to be trying to construct something.
Although Chen Ming didn’t know what it was for, it couldn’t possibly be harmful to him.
After observing these changes on the island.
Chen Ming’s gaze shifted to the distance.
In a place some distance away from the island, something was continuously approaching him.
It was an Insect Race biological spaceship slightly smaller than the steel jungle island.
The biological spaceship was the Insect Queen’s external manifestation in consciousness space.
After Chen Ming previously used the gathering spiritual energy origin to connect the Insect Queen to himself through consciousness, the Insect Queen naturally appeared here as well.
Chen Ming roughly estimated that the biological spaceship of the Insect Queen was about half the size of the island.
Chen Ming’s island was at least one hundred kilometers in diameter, with a height about half of the diameter.
Such a biological battleship with half the volume of his conical island was indeed quite exaggerated.
This gigantic Insect Race biological battleship was a more terrifying existence than a main ship.
Of course, this biological battleship only appeared in consciousness space, not in reality.
After confirming that there were no other new changes compared to the last time he came to his consciousness space.
Chen Ming’s gaze turned to the reason that brought him here, also present in this consciousness space, the Host.
He was opposite Chen Ming’s island.
However, his consciousness space didn’t manifest as an island.
Instead, it was a gigantic brain floating in the universe, seemingly close on the cosmic scale.
Judging by size, this brain was even larger than Chen Ming’s island.
Around the brain were rings of biological flesh, encircling it.
With a closer look, it could be seen that these rings of flesh were almost entirely made up of intestines.
If Chen Ming’s guess was correct.
These intestines should be the source organs infected by dimension on the Host’s body.
This was the manifestation of the Host in the consciousness space.
Chen Ming could feel that not only had the part of abilities represented by the consciousness space turned into a brain for the Host.
Furthermore, the form in consciousness space had lost its human shape, becoming a monster, merging with the giant brain.
The brain slowly approaching Chen Ming’s island opened a slit at the top, through which a huge bloodshot eye suddenly opened.
The blood-ringed rings convulsed in excitement, and the power of dimension infection surged with the tremors of the intestines.
It seemed to be leaking out continuously into the exterior through this consciousness space.
This didn’t seem to be a good sign; Chen Ming needed to hurry.
As Chen Ming stared at the brain.
The eye of the brain also saw Chen Ming’s island and the steel jungle.
Its gaze showed disdain.
But soon, its expression changed as it began to realize something was amiss.
The Host, before becoming a Meat Mountain, had always been keeping tabs on various intelligence.
And An Wuping, who was tracked all the way by Zuo Jing, slaughtered his way through Zuo Jing, got ensnared by Thousand Faces then betrayed, was naturally the most focused individual.
Such a Psychic with physical mutation should not have a consciousness space resembling a steel jungle.
When it saw the mountain composed of ship wreckage at the center of the steel jungle, it confirmed this thought.
The brain uttered in a slow, puzzled, heavy, weary voice, "You are not... An Wuping? But... Insect Nest... No, neither... You’re mechanical? Who are... you?"
At this moment, Chen Ming leveraged his control over the consciousness space, instantly reaching the peak of the wreckage mountain.
He said nothing, merely standing there.
"Chen... Ming..."
"I should have... realized sooner..."
"No one... would track us like a mad dog..."
"You... deserve to die..."
