Chapter 176 Blood Source of All Things

Within the Eoubs community, the so-called ACE-level forbidden item has a very simple and straightforward evaluation standard—the all-around ace.

For example, if an ACE implanted operative's characteristic is "magnetic field control," and after a period of guidance and development, based on previously collected data and experimental videos, he could very easily, with just a thought, separate any magnetic object into atomic-level particles and superimpose magnetic forces... This concept might be a bit vague to you, so let me explain it another way. First, most fundamentally, he can do anything Magneto can do. Second... I hope you've read the comic book "Sea Tiger."

Of course, no one can currently reach the level of those madmen. If someone did… that would be a DO-level J-level world-ending danger. And even if there truly were a forbidden object with the properties that allowed someone to control magnetic fields with no upper limit, Eoubs would have already initiated a forced retrieval plan.

But there is no doubt that ACE-level forbidden items and those operatives implanted with their characteristics are extremely dangerous to humans.

Fortunately, so far... all the ACE-level taboos discovered by Eoubs have been under very good control and observation, and the operatives who are favored by their characteristics are obedient enough. As for DOJ, which has only been recorded twice in decades, Earth is relatively safe.

Furthermore, there are no cultivation techniques or upgrade systems in this universe; those things do not exist in forbidden objects. This is because their characteristics all originate from "Wave Layer 2," not from internal energy or any other illusory thing. Although it was mentioned beforehand that the characteristics have a critical point, once someone can touch its threshold... they will be able to open a wormhole to counterattack even unconsciously, like Sergio. However, whether most operatives can reach the "critical point" is hard to say; it depends on the specific effects and uses of those characteristics.

To put it bluntly, their characteristics are all fixed with the birth of the forbidden object. Except for Hebrew and Heyu, the things that determine and limit their actual expression are that the former relies purely on imagination, and the latter cannot be summarized in conventional language. His growth path has already entered the level of a parallel universe.

Bloodborne—a forbidden item with the potential for growth—though its rating is EDS, it possesses the characteristic of unlimited growth... becoming an ACE or even a DOJ is only a matter of time.

The gospel of heaven in a state of spatial distortion is a natural testing ground.

The assessment by higher-ups that Li Lin was "the most capable operative to reach Level B" was not meant as mockery, but was the absolute truth.

When Yu Jianchu was printing documents in the control room, he made a joke to him—something about drinking more blood, becoming a human blood bank, and being able to kill all of humanity with a flick of a finger. These jokes were indeed within the scope of the blood source of all things.

Of course, that was just a casual remark. If Li Lin really had that idea and ability, Eoubs wouldn't have let him off so easily. Besides... he hadn't broken through the critical point at that time—that's why they felt comfortable letting him participate in the 2407 recovery mission.

He was very clear about his position and stance, knowing where everything should be placed, and that misplacing things would implicate many people. Therefore, he tried to avoid all points of conflict, focused on his work, and maintained the lifestyle he relied on hallucinogens to sustain.

But from the moment Yu Jianchu was carried onto the rack, some of Li Lin's thoughts underwent a dramatic change.

At this moment, he has honed 031's ability to the extreme. He can manipulate all the blood in the observable universe and influence them at the atomic level.

Broadly speaking, the only thing he can manipulate is blood, but to be more specific... anything that bleeds from within the body, whether solid or liquid, from any kind of creature, anything flowing in the blood vessels, whether human or demon, will be under his control.

So if I were a zombie, could I veil him and become the new macho man? Sorry... Li Lin can now create the blood bank supply needed by a country every year out of thin air, and it doesn't even take five seconds, so it doesn't matter if you don't have it - just that atomic-level control method is enough to make most people suffer.

Therefore, even when facing Hamilton, one of the top "authorities," Li Lin was not worried at all about dying.

After all... even if he were killed in one fell swoop, bloodlines can split too quickly. Unless you can kill all the creatures in the world at once, even if you smash the entire earth's crust, it wouldn't be a big deal for him. He can just suck some blood and wait for his wounds to heal.

Let's go back to this moment.

Hamilton watched as Li Lin emerged from the shadows at the corner of the staircase in the garrison's main hall.

He was wearing an official Eoubs uniform, which he hadn't changed in a long time. The bloodstains on his collar and even the hem were a putrid gray-black—it looked like he had been through countless extreme battles.

The other person gave a smile, a smile tinged with murderous intent. Hamilton thought to himself, "That's more like how this place should be."

"Dude, your eyes are dangerous."

"Let me think, what did I do to offend you? Was it because of these small fry or something?"

As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something, raised the tattered scroll and waved it at Li Lin, saying, "Could it be... that you're also interested in 'The Laws of Fate'?"

The other party nodded in agreement.
