It was the Mother Tree! It sensed the imminent extinction of the "Source" bloodline! It sensed the destructive energy of that drop of "Source Blood" being forcibly detonated! Driven by its chaotic instincts, it recklessly poured its purest energy, imbued with immense life force (chaotic vitality) and the remnants of star core contamination, into the source!
boom--!!!
The three forces collided violently within Pei Du's broken body!
The cold destructive energy of the Zeroer exploded from Xu Shuangyao's body!
The chaotic and vast essence of life and pollution originating from the core of the mother tree!
And the drop of Pei Du's own star core blood that was on the verge of collapse, but burst out with the last protective will in desperation!
Destruction! Life! Protection!
Three completely opposite forces, but strangely connected in Pei Du's body due to the essence of "source blood", are like three out-of-control stars, colliding, tearing, annihilating, and... strangely... merging wildly in his broken body!
The dark gold lines covering Pei Du's torso were instantly covered and eroded by dark green and dark blue energy veins! His body was like a vessel thrown into a chaotic furnace, his skin constantly cracking, healing, and then cracking again under the impact of new energy! His bones groaned under the weight, and his muscle fibers tightened and broke like strings! Every heartbeat was like a bomb exploding!
But in this inhuman, extreme pain that is on the verge of disintegration, an incredible... transformation... is happening!
At the broken ends of the limbs that were annihilated by the disintegration beam, under the crazy flushing, collision and fusion of the three forces of destructive energy, mother tree essence and star core blood, no new flesh and blood limbs grew. Instead,... countless dark golden thorns composed of pure energy, which were between reality and illusion... madly grew out!
These thorns seemed like living creatures, entwined with dark green life streams and dark blue arcs of destruction. They grew wildly from the broken edges at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading and twisting! They were no longer just a manifestation of power, but... transformed into Pei Du's new limbs!
The left arm is composed of countless thick, sharp energy vines burning with dark golden thorn sparks, and the end is twisted into a huge thorn fist like a battering ram!
The right arm was also covered with dark gold thorns, but it was more slender and sharper. Countless sharp thorn spikes stretched and moved on the surface of the arm like living blades, and five energy claws like liquid metal flashed with a cold blue light and extended from the fingertips!
His legs were wrapped in thicker dark golden thorns that looked like the roots of ancient trees. A dark green halo of life flowed on the surface of the thorns, which were deeply embedded in the ground beneath his feet, as if they were connected to the life pulse of this wasteland!
Thorns for bones! Sparks for blood! The life essence of the Mother Tree and the destructive energy of the Null Sector were forcibly bound and smelted, transforming into this new, terrifyingly oppressive body... a thorny body!
Pei Du suddenly raised his head! Deep within his molten-gold pupils, the burning vortex had subsided, replaced by an absolute coldness and... control that could freeze billions of stars! At the edges of his pupils, countless tiny dark green runes and faint blue streams of data slowly swirled like star rings! An unprecedented, complex will, a blend of the supreme coldness of the star-core blood, the orderly constraints of the Thorn Kingship, the chaotic vitality of the Mother Tree, and even a hint of the destructive nature of the Zero Reset... descended from him like an awakened ancient fierce god!
He slowly raised his left arm, which was made of countless dark-gold thorns, and pointed his five energy fingers burning with thorn sparks at Xu Shuangyao, who was still embedded in the cabin wall in front of him, with the energy in his heart forcibly drained away and his body in a brief freeze due to program conflicts and energy exhaustion. He grasped the void...
Buzz!
An invisible yet overwhelming force field of thorns instantly emerged! It wasn't an attack, but... a protection! Like the toughest vine cage, it gently and securely enveloped Xu Shuangyao's body, isolating it within! The force field blocked the external scanning and interference of the Cradle's will, temporarily suppressing the remaining program conflicts and energy disorder within her body.
"Cradle..." Pei Du's icy voice echoed, like the friction of two icy star cores. He slowly turned his inhuman eyes, swirling with dark green runes and dark blue data streams, piercing through layers of obstruction and locking onto the diamond-shaped command ship above. "Your 'recovery'... is over."
"Now...it's my turn."
