Jianshezi left the hangar with the deeply infected heart.
According to the original plan, the builder would carry the Heart of the Abyss at least 300,000 km away from the assault fleet, and there open the valve of the container to release the Heart of Darkness.
But ever since leaving the hangar, this heart has begun to beat unsteadily.
It beat faster and faster, hitting the inner wall of the container with loud and powerful sounds again and again.
Dong...Dong...Dong...
Containers made of bulletproof glass began to show tiny cracks under the continuous impact.
With every heartbeat, these cracks began to grow rapidly, and soon covered the entire glass wall like a spider web.
The heart continued to beat continuously, expanding faster and faster, and its size began to increase.
Originally it only occupied a small area in the center of the test tube, but now the heart has completely filled the diameter of the test tube, and the extra flesh and blood have begun to extend to both ends of the test tube.
As the flesh and blood stretched out, the black, viscous liquid also began to drain out at an accelerated rate. Soon, the entire glass tube was completely obscured, and the cameras installed on the structure could no longer see what was happening inside.
Dong...Dong...Dong...
Strong, misshapen muscle tissue slapped against the glass tube walls, and as the heart expanded further, the entire glass began to expand and contract with its beating.
At this point, the bulletproof glass has completely lost its rigidity, and the other two layers of glass have been crushed into tiny pieces by the enormous pressure. Now the integrity of the entire container is completely maintained by the sticky film sandwiched between the two layers of glass.
But this situation did not last long. After just a few beats, the entire container was torn open in the middle.
Countless black slimes gushed out from the gap, like oil gushing out of the surface.
Following the outflow of mucus, several thick black tentacles emerged. Each of these tentacles had a swollen tumor at the tip, and on one side of the tumor grew an organ like an eye that glowed yellow.
These tentacles seemed to be born from the most horrific nightmare. They twisted and climbed up the shell of the construct, trying to pull out the heart that was still stuck in the test tube.
It has to be said that the Heart of the Abyss does have excellent toughness. These tentacles stretch it into a thin strip like pulling dough.
As the glass container could no longer withstand the continuous impact and shattered, the Heart of the Abyss truly appeared in the public eye.
It has now grown to nearly 10 meters in size. It is hard to imagine how a body of this size can be stuffed into a test tube that is only a few dozen centimeters high.
The heart is still beating.
As the heartbeat progressed, countless inky black tentacles spread out from the surface of the heart. They wrapped around the structure and pulled it into the heart.
By building sub-surface mounted cameras, the commanders of the assault fleet could easily see everything that was happening.
Where the Builder came into contact with the Heart of the Abyss, the surface of the metal was stained with some intricate black lines, which extended rapidly backwards along the outer shell of the Builder.
Darkness quickly engulfed the entire spacecraft, and even the camera lens showed these patterns.
No one knew what these patterns meant, so Karlus ordered the images to be preserved for future research.
While these images are being processed at the back, the bound and restrained constructions are also changing.
The hard metal that made up the body of the builder began to melt, dripping down like ink meeting water, and under the pull of a strange force, it melted into the beating giant heart.
After devouring the Builder, the size of the Heart of the Abyss became even larger.
Its size had expanded to nearly a hundred meters, with countless tentacles extending outward, like a savage, threatening demon from hell.
At this moment, it was less than 100,000 km away from the assault fleet, far less than the original safe distance.
"The entire fleet ceases firing and retreats slowly."
Out of caution, Karrus ordered the fleet to begin moving backward, leaving a safe distance of at least one light second.
Various sensors on the spacecraft are constantly tracking the status of the Heart of the Abyss, while also closely observing the actions of the Crystal Storm.
Sure enough, after the Heart of the Abyss appeared, all the crystals stopped attacking, began to re-form, and gathered around the Crystal Battle Star.
It's like protecting the war planet.
"They're scared."
Karlus stroked his chin thoughtfully.
But the energy of the war stars was still gathering, and their luminosity was about to reach its peak. This meant that the four war stars had not stopped because of the appearance of the Abyss Heart, but instead intended to unite and launch a tachyon bombardment.
None of the ships in the assault fleet issued a lock-on warning, which meant that the target of the war planet was not them, but the Heart of the Abyss.
The latter seemed to understand this, but it did not make any defensive or evasive moves. Instead, it waved its kilometer-long tentacles and rushed in a straight line towards the nearest war star.
During the rapid attack, its size continued to grow, and finally it even exceeded the size of a standard destroyer in the Galactic Alliance.
No one knows where his energy comes from. Kailus guessed that perhaps the center of this heart really is connected to the abyss.
But there is no way to confirm this speculation.
Because the black mucus covers the heart itself, no sensor can penetrate this layer of mucus and see into the core of the heart.
In terms of surface energy readings, the Heart of the Abyss has always been at an extremely low level.
Its surface temperature is only a dozen degrees, it does not eject any working fluid, and there is no spatial distortion around it.
No one knows how it moves, but its speed is indeed very fast. In just two or three minutes, its speed has reached nearly 1/3 of the speed of light.
In full view of everyone, the heart suddenly collapsed.
It was cut into countless pieces, including the huge tentacles that spread out for several kilometers, which also scattered like dust blown by the wind.
The tachyon bombardment begins.
The power of the bombing came later but arrived first, and was displayed before the light arrived.
The whistling stream of light followed closely behind, rushing along the cut seams like a rushing flood.
Four huge beams of light with a diameter of more than 1,000 km intertwined with each other. At the intersection of the beams, the entire Heart of Darkness was submerged in the sacred light.
When the tachyon bombardment began, all the assault fleets had retreated to the vicinity of the Burning Heaven Divine Soldier. The Burning Heaven Divine Soldier's exaggerated shield force field helped them block all the aftermath.
Everyone present looked nervous, their eyes fixed on the intersection of the four beams of light.
Finally, the afterglow of the tachyon bombardment began to dissipate.
