Chapter 312 Noble Sacrifice
A deafening roar resounded throughout the hall, and the members of the monastery who were "captured" by the walls, floors and control consoles saw in horror that part of the control hall fell from the ceiling and hit the "Sage" directly on the head.
The trapped cultists struggled violently, trying to break free from the steel covering them, but they only felt the restraints becoming heavier. A rage - emanating directly from this living spaceship, as if it had permeated every wall, every pipe and line here, was rising in all directions.
Then, the pipe that fell from the sky was slowly lifted up.
The "sage" in a white robe stood up, and with every tiny movement, his body became taller and stronger. When he just came out from under the pipe, he was just a tall and thin old man, but when he stood up straight, he had turned into a majestic warrior over two meters tall, with a strong and perfect posture like a heroic sculpture.
The wrinkles representing old age disappeared, his sunken cheeks became plump and lustrous, and the white robe that originally looked too loose has now become a short robe that fits him well. He looked up at the steel face on the wall, bright blue electricity jumping between his hair and beard, his face looked majestic and fearless, and he even seemed to carry the aura of a god on earth.
He took a step forward, and thunder burst from under his feet: "How great and necessary is the path to sainthood that you cannot comprehend!"
A cultist trapped in a steel cage suddenly cheered up. Despite being bound, he still shouted loudly: "The sage has completed the final transformation! We are saved!"
The other members of the monastery in the hall also became excited after seeing the Sage's current posture, as if they saw the savior coming before their eyes. Even though they could not imagine how the Sage would fight against a spaceship that had come to life and was hostile to everyone, they still cheered and felt hope rekindled.
Yu Sheng said nothing, but tore off two pieces of steel from the wall of the hall and threw them at the burly old man in white robe like cannonballs. At the same time, he softened the ground around the other party, disrupted the gravity in the hall, and turned everything he could control into a means of attack and entanglement, and launched an attack on him.
Thunder burst out from the hall, and steel fell like a rainstorm. A burly old man in a white robe rose into the air in the chaotic gravity field, controlling the thunder to face the angry steel. A layer of rock-like texture emerged on his seemingly flesh and blood body. He actually carried the iron blocks that were hitting his body and released a powerful thunder towards the face on the wall opposite the hall.
However, this is completely meaningless for life.
His current body is the entire spaceship, and the face that appears in the hall is just an "interface" for speaking.
The power of thunder exploded on the wall, turning into large pieces of electric light and hot molten marks that flowed across the metal surface. Yu Sheng's face melted and deformed in the thunder, and then dissipated. But in the blink of an eye, the roof of the hall opened its eyes and overlooked the sage floating in the air.
"You don't seem to care that much about the life and death of your 'compatriots'." Yu Sheng said slowly.
Several members of the monastic order who were previously trapped on the walls of the hall were impacted by the aftermath of the thunder force and have now turned into pieces of charcoal, still emitting smoke in the metal cage.
The cheers in the hall gradually died down.
The burly old man, whose body was entangled by thunder, simply turned around and looked at the face on the roof that was even bigger than before without any fear: "This is also a noble sacrifice--"
The next second, his already gigantic body suddenly expanded violently again, and was once again lit up by an even more violent thunder! His burly body crossed the limit of "strong", his muscles bulged, becoming a hideous mass of flesh and blood, his limbs stretched and deformed, and even his skin cracked inch by inch. The dazzling electric light burned the flesh and blood under his skin, flowing and dripping outward like some kind of fluid, and the white robe that represented majesty and status turned directly into ashes. In just a few breaths, the "sage" turned into a deformed giant beast filled with electric light, and it could not even be seen in human form. Thick electric light burst out from his limbs, just sweeping across the floor of the hall, and in the aftermath, it turned more than a dozen members of the hermitage into charcoal.
“These are all noble sacrifices!”
Yu Sheng's ventilation fan sucked in a breath of reactor exhaust gas on the spot: "Fuck, how can you kill your own people even more cruelly than me?!"
While he was exclaiming, he was not idle. A series of loud noises sounded again in the hall. The structure of the ship connected to this cabin changed rapidly. The metal was extracted, transferred, and shaped. Two huge palms appeared instantly from the walls on both sides and slapped the deformed monster floating in the air! He had to find a way to quickly get rid of this old man who was getting stronger and mentally abnormal, otherwise he would kill all the cultists here! The metal giant palms closed with a bang.
However, just the next second, dazzling lightning burst out from the palm again, and as Yu Sheng watched in astonishment, he saw that the two palms were slowly stretched apart from the middle, and bright white hot substance dripped from the air like blood. The deformed giant beast surrounded by thunder appeared before his eyes again - the giant beast had completely lost its original shape, and even seemed to have been flattened once by the palm just now, and now it had been forcibly reshaped again.
Seven or eight arms emerged from the swollen and squirming mass of flesh, which gradually opened the closed giant metal palms.
A roaring sound rang out from the lightning.
"They are all unstable after multiple iterations, and have not yet been promoted to sufficiently loyal and steadfast noble individuals. Rather than letting them reveal secrets to the enemy and lose their glory, I would rather send them to be on par with the sages in advance while their souls are still pure!"
Yu Sheng: “……?!”
However, what surprised him even more was that after hearing the Sage's declaration of near-death sentence and betrayal, the surviving members of the hermitage in the hall did not get angry or waver, but instead shouted out -
"Embark on the path to holiness!"
"Martyrdom! Martyrdom! Martyrdom!"
"Hail to you - witness of the way of perfection!"
The hall was filled with a fanatical, ecstatic, and frenzied atmosphere that shocked Yu Sheng. It was the first time he had seen such a crazy and chaotic scene. This irrational scene, which was clearly on the path of crazy destruction but with high morale and "belief", opened his eyes. In the next second, he noticed that around the deformed giant beast with its giant palm spread out, there burst out lightning that was far more violent than before.
The size of "it" is expanding rapidly, and something is about to burst out from inside it.
“This is also a noble sacrifice!”
Yu Sheng: “What the hell!?”
Although he had no idea how much black technology these Saint Worshipping Hermitage had, and he had no idea how a living person could transform into such a form in such a short period of time, Yu Sheng was certain of one thing - if this Sage's Orb exploded here, not only would all the cultists in the entire hall die, but even the central structure of the ship might be blown to pieces!
He had no confidence that he could fix the place after all the damage it had done—it wasn't just reconnecting a few pipes and hooking up a few wires.
So he chose the alternative of the alternative without hesitation.
At the end of the control hall, the thick polymer porthole made a sharp vibration, and then a large hole suddenly appeared.
Accompanied by the piercing alarm of gas leakage and the sudden strong wind that swept through the entire hall, the space inside the ship faced the vacuum of the universe. An amazing suction force came from the hole, and at the same time, another huge pipe fell from the roof, and when it fell halfway, it swept across like a stick, hitting the rapidly expanding deformed behemoth with amazing force.
"Go!"

The "Sage" roared out of tune in the strong wind. Due to the drastic change in air pressure, his last roar sounded weird and terrifying. However, facing the uncontrolled gravity, powerful impact and the terrifying suction brought by the vacuum of the universe, the monster could no longer stabilize itself and was thrown out of the "Pillars of Order" like a cannonball.
The next second, the broken porthole was quickly repaired, and Yu Sheng blocked the hole in the spacecraft in time before the surviving monastics in the hall died from the vacuum and hypothermia.
His gaze then turned to the window.
The deformed behemoth that was thrown into space continued to move away from the Pillar of Order at high speed in the vacuum environment. The dazzling electric light all over its body expanded and contracted like a violently beating heart. Yu Sheng watched him flying farther and farther, and at the same time he was ready for an explosion - although there should be no shock waves in the space environment, but this astonishing energy exploded at close range, and the impact produced should not be small.
His nerves were tense.
The deformed giant beast transformed by the sage expanded and contracted violently several times, and then continued to fly farther and farther...
It really is flying farther and farther.
And it was still accelerating—in the end it even turned into a streak of light that shot through the stars.
Yu Sheng: “……?”
…
"A noble sacrifice, a noble sacrifice...Bearing the infamy is also a sacrifice..."
Deep in space, the distorted behemoth was thinking angrily. The strong radiation and low temperature in the cosmic environment brought him great pain, but he knew that he had survived the terrible ghost.
A tiny limb emerged from the inhuman flesh, at the end of which was tightly grasping a talisman: the ruby inlaid in the center of the double ring was shining. He injected his thoughts into the beacon.
"This is Babol-3. I'm applying... applying to use up one Blessed Asylum. Any coordinate will do. I'm dying... I'm carrying important information!"
A flash of light streaked across the dark space, and the "Sage" Babol-3 disappeared into the vast space.
