Chapter 2800: Good and Bad News
Back in the Foundation Pillar, where the biggest battles happened, Soul Gem and the various Formations Masters around worked on retrieving the Circuitry Armors from the dead Garisan forces. However, things were going a lot worse than they initially planned.
"Soul Gem, it is impossible," A guy called Hlises spoke. He was the head of the Formations Hall in the Rambram Sect. "Any time we try to activate these weird System Armors, they explode. Quite a few of my subordinates were injured by them, and one even got killed." In the end, everyone simply employed the name that Rean"s group gave to them, calling them System Armors.
"I told you to not do it!" Soul felt a headache. "How many times do I need to tell you? These armors are bound by blood. You can"t do anything about it."
"I heard that!" Hlises complained. "That"s why I asked some of our stronger experts to refine the devices that control the System Armors to get rid of these bounds. However, they insist there is no such thing as "bound by blood" in these System Armors from Garisan. I wouldn"t have my people trying them if they truly found the bonding by blood inside."
Soul Gem was already feeling helpless. He quickly looked around and could tell that the Formations Masters in charge of other powers already tried the same thing, getting the same result as Hlises. None of them wanted to be left behind, so they went on Soul Gem"s back and tried to find a way to use the Garisan System Armors. He could only imagine how many got injured or died during these last few days.
"That"s basically you all pretending you didn"t hear me the first time," Soul Gem struck back. "I told you that the blood bind these armors have is different from the ones you see in our Universe. That"s why I"ve been working on a few of these armors for the last few days nonstop. I"m trying to hack into the Armors" system and see if I can remove the bind."
"Here in our Universe, binding by blood is due through real blood, divine sense, and some of the cultivation energies. The Armors from garisan don"t use anything like that. In fact, the Armors Rean made for Gragatou and the others were the same. They go much deeper into one"s blood, which we call DNA. That is not something that refining can help with. You can use as much Divine Energy and Sense as you want. You WILL NOT feel this thing!"
"Then..." Hlises was about to speak again.
However, Soul Gem stopped him. "Don"t worry. Now that you all at least know how the Communication System works, you at least have an idea of what Circuitry Formation Runes are." Right after that, Soul Gem threw hundreds of Jade Slips all around to the many Formations Masters there.
"Inside, you have a very detailed description and many examples of the Circuitry Formations from outside. Take your time and study it. Leave the collection of the Armors to your subordinates and warn them TO NOT TRY TO ACTIVE the Armors. They will only be asking for death," Soul Gem told his plans. "To be honest, I wanted to have some time to teach you all myself, but I don"t have the time for it. Now, go away and try to not ignore my warnings anymore."
Hlises and the others could only nod and take a look inside the Jade Slips. Seeing the contents, they immediately felt excited. All the Formations Masters put in Soul Gem"s care were the best ones of the various powers of the Universe. They obviously understood the treasure they had in their hands.
"Soul Gem!" As the Formations Masters left, Soul Gem received another report. "We managed to open them!"
Soul Gem"s eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped his work on the armor. Cracking the system of the Garisan Armors was bound to take a very long time, so there was no need to continue right now. "Bring me there!"
Soul Gem and a few Divinity Realm Experts from the other races quickly followed. A few seconds later, the Semi-Celestials that stayed in the area also appeared. Kilindou, Sofrixa, Kafan, and Naya"il knew what to expect there.
Their group entered one of the seven destroyed s.p.a.ceships, going into an area that was heavily guarded earlier. Five were destroyed when they used the Star Ray, while two were taken down by the Lisan Universe experts when Garisan began to retreat. All these s.p.a.ceships were even harder to deal with than the Ruin of the Stars from all those years ago. The only difference was that they were in a much worse state after being used in the Star Ray.
It wasn"t a problem, though. The experts from Lisan Universe took things slowly, and without any deaths, they managed to take all the remaining defenses down. A huge door appeared in front of everyone. There were already a few cultivators, angels, and devils there, watching over each other.
As for the contents inside...
"So much Divine Origin Energy..." Sofrixa couldn"t help but comment.
"I"ve never felt such huge concentration before either," Naya"il agreed without thinking twice.
Soul Gem smiled. Inside that place, there were millions of Divine Origin Energy Cores, the same ones the twins have been using up to this day. "This is only one of the s.p.a.ceships. The other six shouldn"t have any less than this."
Kafan laughed. "Hahaha! These Divine origin Energy cores might be of no use to us, Semi- Celesitals. However, the experts that went to the Loporrits Planet and used the Chaos Laws to increase their comprehension are another story. Quite a few even used the Purple Crystal. We have plenty of s.p.a.ce-Time and Divinity Realm experts with more than enough comprehension of laws but not enough Divine Origin Energy. We will get many breakthroughs in the following years."
Soul Gem agreed. "Prepare the Cores and distribute them equally between the Heavens, Underworld, and Realm of G.o.ds. Let"s make sure we use them to the fullest."
"Senior Soul Gem," another cultivator appeared and called his attention. "We have captured thousands of them."
Indeed. There were also the prisoners.
