Chapter 412 Dark Energy Lattice

Late at night, in the carriage of the Infinity train.

The lights were turned off, and several blue cold light lamps were placed in carriage No. 2. The Infinity members gathered together, some standing, some sitting, like a midnight storytelling session.

"14,000?"

Gaddy's words immediately made everyone in Infinity look stunned. No one could have realized that this girl, who looked less than 20 years old, not only broke through the angel level, but also reached a peak soul value of 14,000. This sounded incredible.

"How can it be so high?" Ning Jing frowned at this time: "I mean, are those monsters just now so difficult to deal with?"

Her words were self-evident. With this level of strength, it shouldn't be that difficult to deal with a few monsters, even if those monsters had evolved biological force fields.

Vanessa put one hand on her waist, looked at Ning Jing's team of tough guys, her eyes stayed on Brother Huo, and said

"The Phoenix Society is still in the conservative stage of crystallization and has not announced it to the public, but I thought you would know about it, after all, you are the Sword Wielder. I didn't expect that..."

Gaddy came over and said to Vanessa, "We all know that crystallization does have disadvantages, and it will cause the superpowers to go out of control. Currently, only adventist organizations like the Holy City dare to plunder in a big way, including the vegetable juice balance for this reason."

"But crystallization is the most effective way for psychics to increase energy density and deal with strange bodies. Can any disadvantages be compared to death? I don't think so anyway." Vanessa said.

Lin Xian watched the two discuss and heard some key information, so he said

"Crystallization? Is this the reason why your Soul Dang value can reach 14,000?"

"Yes." Just as Gaddi was about to answer, Vanessa stopped her, took a step forward and looked at Lin Xian meaningfully: "Swordsman, cooperate with us, I will give you all the information, and..."

She looked around and said with interest: "We can help you all complete the crystallization. You know, this can at least double your peak power!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Monica, Ning Jing, Chen Sixuan, KIKI and others all frowned. Qian Dele, Huo Ge, Luo Yang and Ryunosuke's expressions also changed slightly. It was obvious that everyone became interested in what Vanessa said.

"Double it?" Shu Qin said at this time: "Biological transformation?"

Lin Xian looked at the dead silence and darkness around Infinity in the information center interface, then turned around and said

"You tell me first, by the way..."

Lin Xian pressed the headset and called Ding Junyi, Xiaoyuan and Sun Yuzhen. The two were in carriage No. 3 to protect Director Ding, but Lin Xian felt that in this situation, it would be better for them to discuss it together.

Soon, Ding Junyi and the other two walked in from the dark carriage. Seeing this, Lin Xian said, "My team members are all here. Director Ding is an expert in dark energy research and is also very interested in this."

Vanessa met Geddie's eyes upon hearing this, and then said to Lin Xian: "First of all, we didn't release the power of the lattice just now, because this power comes from dark energy, that is, the invasion of darkness. Second, it is very dangerous to use this power after dark, especially when we don't have the Dark Mark. Releasing this power is equivalent to lighting up the Dark Mark ourselves. Unless we are sure that we have dealt with all the strange entities in the area, we will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Why does the crystal grid you mentioned not sound like your own?" KIKI crossed her arms and said, "Can it be turned on and off?"

Vanessa shrugged. "Sorry, if it were daytime, I wouldn't mind showing you, but right now..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Geddy, who nodded and raised her hand to press a mechanical unit next to her ear. In an instant, her mechanical prosthetic eye flashed blue light, and a miniature holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.

An extremely complex spherical crystal structure appeared on the screen and rotated slowly. Ding Junyi's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw it, as if she had noticed something. However, she did not speak, but listened to Vanessa's introduction first.

"This is called a dark energy lattice. It uses psychic energy to replace the blood essence of the strange body with a crystal core seed in the human body. We call this crystal core seed a lattice. If the strange blood essence is the energy source of those strange bodies, then this lattice is equivalent to the 'battery' cultivated by humans that can be placed in the body. This thing has many benefits. As far as I know, only a small number of psychics are cultivating it now, because the peak value of the soul value must reach 5000 at least. And the 5000 I mentioned does not take into account the limit coefficient of the Phoenix Society. It is the most basic."

"Ah?" KIKI immediately said, "You mean, this is a human implanting a blood sperm into the body?"

"The word 'implantation' is a bit inaccurate," Gaddy said calmly. "Strictly speaking, humans and blood sperm are incompatible. The energy acquisition method is very inefficient. This is a consensus among everyone. Although humans can filter and absorb dark energy in the dark to evolve themselves, the efficiency is far lower than that of the weird body. This is why, although humans evolve very quickly, it is currently difficult for psychics to defeat the weird body. This is also why Phoenix developed cold dark reagents and advocated balancing the dark energy in the body with sunlight and vegetable juice."

"Yes, this lattice can be thought of as a new 'organ' that humans evolved in the darkness to concentrate energy." Vanessa introduced: "With the lattice, humans' efficiency in absorbing and converting dark energy will be greatly improved. According to the Phoenix Society's previous calculations, the highest purification and filtration rate was 18%, and the human body was about the same. But with the lattice, this efficiency can be increased to 50%, or even 60%70%. The most important point is that the lattice can store the power of this dark energy, which can greatly increase the energy density of superpowers. This is also the main reason why my superpower peak can be increased from 7100 to 14,000."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed in shock. Lu Xingchen and others couldn't help but widen their eyes. From 7,600 to 14,000, that was a direct doubling. This was too exaggerated.

"You mean, this thing is equivalent to a power bank?" Sasha asked with a frown.

"No." Ding Junyi looked at Vanessa and said, "If I have to describe it, it's equivalent to the second human..."

"Superpower engine."

"Wow, this description is very appropriate." Vanessa took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "Yes, the lattice is equivalent to the second engine of the psychic. There are many battle reports about S-level in Dawn City and Reykjavik now. They all contain analysis of how S-level can absorb the same kind of dark energy to restore energy or enhance the destructive power of energy density. So this is actually learned from the weird body. The increase in the peak value of superpowers can directly affect the physical and mental strength, which is very effective."

"So... we are going to put something like this inside our bodies?" Qian Dele leaned back on the sofa, looking suspicious: "That doesn't sound good."

Monica stood aside with her arms folded across her chest and said leisurely, "The replacement and crystal core seeds you mentioned sound like they should be quite troublesome, right?"

"Not only is it troublesome, but it's also very risky." Gaddy said at this time. The holographic image in front of her began to change. The spherical crystal lattice was now placed in the middle of the lungs in the human chest. It looked only the size of a thumb, but it had a very exaggerated energy release.

"If you want to replace the weird body's blood essence, first of all, it must be at least level three blood essence. It is said that it has a certain compatibility with the weird body's original power. In addition, the generation of the crystal core seed is also dangerous, because the generation of the crystal core seed means that the dark energy balance in the body is broken. This process will be very painful and test your mental strength. There is also a certain degree of risk of death. According to our experience, it takes at least 72 hours to generate a crystal core, which varies from person to person. Finally, after the crystal core generation is completed, there will be a big difference. We call this difference 'completion degree'."

"Completion level?" Lin Xian frowned: "Are there any unqualified options?"

"No." Vanessa shook her head. "If you fail, you will die. As long as you survive, you are qualified. You can roughly understand this degree of completion as the quality and constitution of the crystal core. Just like silicon-based CPUs, even if they are manufactured by the most advanced industrial system, there are physical potential differences. The same is true for human reproduction DNA. It can produce better quality offspring, but it may also be terrible."

"In short, we divide this 'completion' into four categories, namely C, B, A and S. C refers to the completion range of 70%-85%. The same is true for the dark energy that the crystal lattice can absorb. Therefore, even the worst C-level crystal core seed can at least increase a psychic's peak power by more than 70%. B-level is 85%-95%, A-level is 95%-98%, and the last S-level refers to the crystal core with a completion rate of more than 98%, which is infinitely close to 100%."

"I don't understand." Chen Sixuan said at this time: "S-level is 3% more than A-level, is there such a big difference?"

"have!"

At this time, Gaddy said: "Don't simply understand this degree of completion as just the percentage of the increase in the peak power. In fact, it is not the case, because the human body has potential. For example, my lattice is B-level 87%, but my peak power overload can reach 98%, while Vanessa's A-level 95% can be overloaded to 116%. The more perfect the lattice, the greater the difference in the degree of overload."

"Oh my god, overload, it really sounds like CPU overclocking." KIKI was surprised: "I understand, the cultivation of this crystal core seed also depends on luck and personal physical fitness, right?"

"right."

"What is the approximate failure rate, or mortality rate?" Chen Sixuan asked at this time.

"It depends on the person." Gaddy looked at Lin Xian and the others, "You don't have to worry too much about this. The stronger the mutant, the higher the success rate of cultivation. Besides... I don't think anyone will give up lattice cultivation because of this risk."

"Why?" Lin Xian asked.

"For survival." Gaddy said, "The benefits of the crystal lattice are many. It can improve superpowers, adapt to darkness, and accelerate the absorption and evolution of dark energy. The most important thing is that with the crystal lattice, human superpowers can already fight against the existing strange bodies outside the Xingyuan. For example, we believe that if it reaches 15,000, it can fight against A-level strange bodies, and if it reaches 20,000, it can fight against special-level strange bodies. Although there are differences between individual strange bodies and the level assessment of strange bodies is relatively rough, it can indeed be used as a reference."

She said as she looked at Brother Huo: "You should be angel level."

Brother Huo crossed his arms and said proudly, "I'm 12,500."

After the battle in Dawn City, Brother Huo's combat power skyrocketed. Combined with the Infinity Ring, his peak ability has reached the top among the Infinity members except for Lin Xian.

"What if it doubles?" Gaddy still looked at him and said in a descriptive tone: "With 25,000 fire abilities, you might be able to deal with even a super-large special-level weird entity head-on."

After these words were spoken, Brother Huo's expression froze slightly, and it was obvious that he was quite tempted.

"It sounds very appealing to me, but I want to know, what are the drawbacks?" Lu Xingchen was not stupid. There must be a reason why the Phoenix Club did not directly synchronize globally.

Lin Xian also looked at Vanessa and Gaddy. He had similar ideas to Lu Xingchen. Everything had a price, and he also wanted to know what that price was.

“There are many drawbacks.”

Vanessa said directly: "The first is the danger. The second is that using it in the dark will produce side effects that are more powerful than attractants, at least equivalent to the third-level dark mark. The third is that high-level blood essence is required. All of these have been said, and for the Phoenix Order, the two biggest uncertainties are the most fatal. The first is that the mutants who have crystallized essentially have the same power as darkness. Many unpredictable developments have occurred in the research, such as irreversibility, such as more terrifying mutations. Humans are currently unable to determine the consequences of developing crystallization. The second is that human crystal cores are the same as weird blood essence..."

"It can be taken!"

The air in the car was quiet for a moment, and everyone's expressions were complicated. They all understood what Vanessa and Geddy said.

"Is this also the reason why the Adventist organization is hunting people with special abilities? Hunting crystal lattices?" Lin Xian asked in a stern voice.

Vanessa nodded, and Gaddy responded silently.

"interesting."

After listening to this, Lin Xian said with interest: "I understand what the Order of Phoenix is doing, but I guess the Night Walkers of the Order of Phoenix must also be conducting experiments on lattice evolution. This is indeed good news. If the current peak power can be doubled in a short period of time or even developed to a higher level, it means that the time when the power users can fight against the special level one by one is not far away. Maybe they can even hunt down the S level. This is a big progress."

When in Dawn City, Lin Xian had read the list of the Light of Human Evolution. Only the first few angel-level creatures with more than 10,000 in number had ever fought against the special-level creatures, and the price was not small. Now the strange creatures are constantly evolving. If the Infinity team members can double their abilities, these 20-plus people may be able to face an S-level creature directly.

For a moment, Lin Xian was a little excited. Compared with what he had experienced in the past few days, the unknown information of Nantianmen, the metal dice that made civilization despair, the evolution of the biological force field of the strange body, and these suffocating clues, this was indeed good news. Now that humans can block the toxins of darkness, they can rebuild the civilization system in terms of water sources, ecology, and breeding. The birth of the lattice can accelerate the evolution of the abilities of a large number of psychics. If psychics can really fight against S-level with their bare hands, then humans will have the power to fight deep into the Star Abyss.

Of course, these are all Lin Xian's own thoughts. He thought about it, looked at Vanessa and said

"I'm very curious about the process of the crystal core seed replacement you mentioned."
