Chapter 1822: Rescuing The Empaths
"Freeze!"
As Kate called out the machines to stop moving, they stopped completely! Her Divine Authority surged and expanded at the same time as it merged with her Living Domain, granting her an incredible new boost to her powers.
Kate had a hard time controlling or hacking these machines before because of how strong they were individually, but after adjusting things out for a bit, she had already figured out a way to do it, instantly turning all machines red colors into blue.
Even the warning noise all around the room stopped altogether!
"T-They stopped?!" Emil gasped, covering his face as he thought he would get crushed. "Thank G.o.d... I couldn"t use my ability yet..."
His ability was powerful, but it also came with great drawbacks such as exhaustion and a "cooldown" period where he"s better off not using any psychic power unless he wanted to risking taking brain damage.
"Woah, Kate! That"s amazing! Can you keep them like this for some minutes at least?" wondered Benladra, glancing at her sister concentrate.
"Yes I can..." she nodded. "I can"t... I"m hacking them right now, but their defenses against hacking are much more reinforced than any other machine I"ve fought before... perhaps because this world"s technology is so advanced. It"ll take me a while... for now please free the people!"
"Okay, let"s get to it then!" said Benladann.
"Wait, please don"t be brutish about it, they are connected to devices that keep them alive," said Emil. "If we disconnect them they"ll surely die out of hunger and lack of vitamins and energy. They had been submerged in this amniotic liquid for so long they"ll probably suffocate outside."
"T-Then what do we do?" Miranda asked. "Maybe if I eat them then I spit them back reformed... no, but that would kill them first..."
"Miranda don"t say such weird stuff!" Benladann facepalmed. "Benladra, dear, do you think you can heal them through the gla.s.s?"
"Yes! Leave it to me!" Benladra ran forward. "Starry! And... Gabriel! Can you come help me out enhance my healing abilities?"
"Very well, master"s daughter," Gabriel spoke with a mechanical voice.
The Technomancy and Holy Attribute Spirit Drake had created was an incredibly unique existence on its own, made out of the divinity fragments of Technomancy and Holy Light and also with scales and horns that Drake"s daughters had shed, he held a special connection with Benladra and Kate, as he was made using their own body parts, technically.
So the moment Benladra asked for Gabriel"s help, he immediately went to her aid, transforming its body into a huge mechanical staff of gold and silver color, with a crown of golden and white light.
"Amazing! Thank you! With this...!"
Benladra infused her Living Domain into her own Aura and the Staff, and quickly released her healing abilities and full power.
"{Divine Hands of Nirvana} + {Heavenly Light Of Healing And Restoration}!"
FLUOSH!
She combined her two healing divine abilities into one, as her hands glowed bright gold and her entire aura became the embodiment of white light.
Suddenly, two enormous hands made of this light materialized above her, releasing waves of healing essence everywhere, helping them bypa.s.s material objects!
"{Divine Nirvana Dragon Hands of Heavenly Healing Light of Restoration}!"
Both golden hands resembled the huge, scaled claws of her dragon form, giving it a sharp and fierce appearance despite their purely healing abilities.
FLAAASH!
The light reached the people immediately, beginning to rapidly heal their bodies and wounds and immediately making their anorexic bodies gain some nutrients and ma.s.s as well.
Her healing ability didn"t just close wounds, but it could also calm exhaustion and even hunger by directly infusing energy and nutrients inside of the bodies of her targets now!
"Emil! Is this okay?"
"It is! Let"s free them!"
With everyone"s help, the capsules were opened, and the people dragged out. Some of them started coughing and screaming in pain though.
"They"re screaming and suffering a lot even after all that!" Miranda said. "What do we do? Do we knock them out?"
"With our strength we would end up killing them," sighed Benladann. "We have to simply drag them around with us. We can"t enter our Divine Realms while we are here so we can"t put them inside either."
This was something Drake had discovered and which he communicated with the rest. None of them was able to enter their divine realm within the trial and also they were unable to save living beings inside.
It could still be used to retrieve items, objects, and minor things, but items from this world couldn"t be stored inside, hence why Drake was using his Shadow Powers to store objects of this world for the moment.
"It would be nice if they could walk but it can"t be helped I guess!" Miranda said. "I"ll carry most of them inside of me...
"Aaarrgh!"
"It hurts!"
"Uuggh... Guuggh...!"
"Everyone..." Emil was shocked of how much they were suffering, trying to use his psychic powers to calm them down a bit more, only for his nose to start bleeding. "Ugh...! Can"t... can"t
do it yet!"
"Then..."
Benladra suddenly conjured a golden colored, metallic living ma.s.s of "something" from her hands. At first sight it resembled liquid gold, but it was alive and had tiny blue or golden eyes. "Anti-Mold... If I use this to increase their body"s strength, maybe they"ll stop suffering and be able to wake up properly!" she said. "But this is... a bit risky too."
"Is that also your power, Benladra?" Emil wondered.
"Yeah, but it"s risky because it might end up parasitizing them..." said Benladra. "Although I doubt it"ll ever do something bad to them, in fact it would improve their lives forever... but even then, I don"t know if you would approve of such a thing, or the people here."
"That"s..." Emil had to take a decision quickly. "No, don"t worry about it, just do it!"
"You sure?" Benladra asked again.
"Yes, please help them!" he said.
"Okay!" Benladra released her Anti-Mold like tentacles of liquid gold, piercing the bodies of
all the aliens they rescued and parasitizing them.
Instantly, they woke up, their eyes glowing with gold color for a few seconds as they gasped
for air, but quickly felt... much, much better!
"Ah, where... where am I?"
"What happened? Ugh, my head... it doesn"t hurt?"
"Emil... you"re Emil, right?"
"Our saviors!"
They actually woke up!
"Everyone...!"
