The starship docked outside the core of the Ghost Star Cluster, and Yang Qingrui used the fruit ability transformation on the starship, causing it to "eat" the mythical beast-type phoenix-form devil fruit.
Although this technology was put into practice for the first time, the technical difficulty was not high, and it quickly succeeded in enabling the starship to acquire the capabilities of the Phoenix.
Even the shape of the starship has turned into that of a phoenix!
The huge phoenix was burning with resurrection green flames all over its body. It seemed like a living thing, screaming towards the sky and making a loud cry.
After using the devil fruit, the item will also have three forms.
That is, the original form of the object, the complete transformation into the form of the beast, and the form of the object combined with the beast.
For example, the elephant sword of One Piece King Rispandam has sword form, elephant form, and elephant sword form.
Now the starship is the beast form of the phoenix. It flaps its wings in the starry sky. The heart of the phoenix is the sunstone furnace!
The star became its heart, and at the moment it turned into a phoenix, the star burned at a faster speed.
The higher-grade metals covering the surface of the starship, which were removed from the Protoss starships, quickly melted at this moment and were completely integrated with the starship itself.
In the material library, the decomposed and unused ruins are also extracted by the starship itself and fused into its own skin.
However, the price is the rapid consumption of energy.
Just this smelting consumed one percent of the stellar energy in its heart!
Of course, the huge consumption of energy and materials results in the rapid upgrade of the starship.
The level of this starship is now higher than the several god-level starships they encountered before!
It should be able to withstand the distortion of space and time caused by the huge gravity of the core.
Moreover, when the starship was in the beast form of the phoenix, the space inside its body remained the same and did not change.
It does not affect the passengers inside the starship.
Ao Xin reached out and touched the surface of the starship. In name, this starship belonged to him and he was the owner of this starship.
So he ordered it to transform into a bird ship.
The appearance of the starship immediately changed, becoming a mechanical body in the shape of a phoenix, but its surface was still covered with a layer of resurrected blue flame.
It looks quite mysterious.
"Brother, our starship has never had a name. Now that we've eaten the Phoenix Fruit, let's call it the Phoenix!"
Ao Chen suggested beside him, but Ao Xin didn't care.
To him, the starship was just a means of transportation, and they only had one, so there was no need to give it a name to distinguish it.
Forget about calling it the Phoenix, even calling it the Marco will do!
But what Ao Chen said was not wrong. The current starship is not the same as before after eating the devil fruit.
The artificial intelligence in its operating core combined with the devil fruit actually gave birth to a faint consciousness!
Its intelligence level has also been greatly improved!
The biggest benefit of this change is that from now on, this starship no longer requires human piloting.
The self-awareness of a starship is equivalent to that of a pilot.
However, this consciousness is still very weak now, and it cannot have an independent thinking conversation with them.
But it can occasionally convey some simple awareness.
For example, now the Phoenix conveyed an idea to Ao Xin in the form of an electrical signal, that it wanted to get close to the corpse-accumulating ghost Cang Yan!
"Why would it want to get close to the corpse ghost Cang Yan?"
After Ao Xin told others about his idea for the Phoenix, everyone became curious about the purpose of this starship.
But the starship's consciousness was very weak and its expression was very unclear. After a long time, it gave Ao Xin one word in feedback: "Eat"!
"He said he wanted to eat!"
"Want to eat? What to eat? The corpse ghost Cang Yan?"
Although he didn't quite understand, Ao Xin decided to fulfill the starship's wish.
Giving the order to move towards the nearest pile of corpses and ghosts, Ao Xin immediately received a feeling of joy from the Phoenix.
The starship's autopilot was different from when they arrived.
When they came, their vision inside the Ghost Cluster was too low and they were not familiar with the place, so they did not move very fast.
But when the Phoenix was carrying them back, it was moving at its maximum speed!
With the route record from the previous time, the starship's self-driving efficiency is much higher than their manual driving.
After jumping forward at superluminal speed, it only took a few hours to arrive in front of a place where corpses were piled up and the ghost Cang Yan was standing.
After arriving here, the Phoenix transformed into a beast again, opened its beak, and dived into the corpse-like nebula outside the dim star-like corpse-like ghost flame.
Penetrating the nebula, the bird's beak plunged into the burning ghostly flame.
Then, a suction force came from the inside of the Phoenix, and some mysterious energy was absorbed from the Ghost Cangyan.
After conversion, this energy enters its energy furnace. The invisible energy is injected into this small star, causing its volume to expand rapidly!
"It's really eating the ghost flame!"
Ao Xin and others stayed in the cockpit and watched the images on the light screen, while Yang Qingrui and others went to the energy furnace to observe the energy changes inside.
After a long time, Yang Qingrui sent a telepathic message from the energy furnace and said to them:
"The compressed stellar mass in the energy furnace is rapidly expanding, but the energy entering it is not plasma. It is a special energy that I cannot see through."
"It seems to be the special energy that was absorbed into the core of the Ghost Star Cluster after being burned by the corpse-accumulating ghost flame."
"This energy is merging with the star and the entire Sunstone Furnace, and is transforming the entire energy core system!"
After a while, Yang Qingrui's surprised voice sounded again:
"The materials dismantled from the wreckage of the Protoss starships that were piled up in the warehouse were once again absorbed by the Phoenix and melted into the hull!"
After the Starship ate the devil fruit, it had already undergone an upgrade. Now, while consuming the Ghost Cangyan, it is still continuing to upgrade!
They didn't expect that a devil fruit would bring them so many surprises.
A month later, all the materials piled up in the Phoenix's warehouse had been melted into the hull.
Moreover, its energy core, the stellar furnace built of sunstone, has also completed its transformation.
Become a beating heart!
There are countless lines extending from the heart, like blood vessels, which are the energy transmission channels of the starship.
The energy in the heart is at least a hundred times more than before!
However, the size of the heart did not increase. The space formation originally arranged in the energy furnace was also absorbed and utilized by it to expand its energy storage space.
The bird's beak was pulled out from the Ghost Blue Flame. Even though the Phoenix absorbed the energy in the Ghost Blue Flame so crazily, the entire Ghost Blue Flame only shrank by less than one percent.
