500: Comparable to a star!

Recalling the sensation of devouring a star back then, Chen Heng completely let go of all restrictions on himself.

Anyway, Liu Ye said that this place was absolutely safe, even if a sun was stuffed in, nothing would happen.

So Chen Heng simply let go and pushed his body's density to the extreme.

As Chen Heng's body mass and density continuously increased, the gravitational pull he emitted gradually surpassed that of the planet beneath his feet.

"Warning! A super high-energy body has appeared in the base! All units, please be aware!"

A piercing alarm sounded, and blood-red lights flashed incessantly.

"Forgot to turn off the alarm," Liu Ye slapped his forehead, snapped his fingers lightly, and the entire base instantly quieted down.

"Gravity surpassing a planet, but this doesn't seem to be your limit..."

Liu Ye watched the rapidly increasing data on the monitor, eagerly anticipating Chen Heng's final performance.

Chen Heng's body mass and density grew higher and higher, and his body temperature also continuously rose.

His body gradually changed from normal flesh color to orange-red, indicating a temperature of three thousand degrees.

But this beautiful orange-red didn't last too long; within a few seconds, it changed from orange-red to pure white.

The temperature further increased to four thousand degrees!

"An individual's power can actually reach this level..."

Liu Ye swallowed, if he hadn't already transformed himself into an iron man, he would have wanted to learn this trick from Chen Heng.

"It's not over yet!!??"

Chen Heng's current density had already reached 26 grams per cubic centimeter, surpassing osmium, the densest substance on Earth.

Time slowly passed, Chen Heng's surface temperature reached a high of nine million degrees, with the interior reaching tens of millions of degrees, and his density was not far from that of a star.

"Hoo..." Chen Heng exhaled a long breath; this was his limit without doubling his power.

His current state was his strongest form in his regular state.

Simply put, anyone fighting Chen Heng in this state would be facing a star that punches you.

Liu Ye no longer paid attention to the creaking room; his worldview had been overturned by Chen Heng.

"Is this even human..."

"I can actually be stronger, do you want to try?"

Seeing Liu Ye make no move, Chen Heng considered trying to double his power.

"No need, Brother, you're amazing, alright?"

Liu Ye raised his hands in surrender; although his high-energy laboratory could withstand the damage caused by Chen Heng for a short time, it might not be able to for an extended period.

Once the high-energy laboratory was damaged, the entire base would be attracted by the gravity emitted by Chen Heng, eventually turning into a solid iron sphere.

"How about it, have you decided how to modify my movement method?"

Chen Heng restored his density to that of a normal person and walked out of the high-energy laboratory.

"Hmm..." Liu Ye stroked his nose, contemplating whether to use a neutron star core or an antimatter core for Chen Heng.

"Brother Chen, are you interested in a neutron star core or an antimatter core?"

Liu Ye himself had a bit of a choice paralysis, making a decision was quite difficult for him.

"Must I choose one?" Chen Heng also had choice paralysis, but he had never had an episode.

Because he never made choices, he wanted them all!

"That's true, your body strength is already beyond my comprehension, so you should be able to stably use both cores."

Liu Ye fully agreed with Chen Heng's choice, and he was happy to see this outcome.

He was just worried about not having good Materials to stably maintain these cores for a long time.

Otherwise, the Annihilation Ray wouldn't have such a long cooldown period.

"Let's go, let's go, your blood test results should be out by now, I'm quite curious..."

Liu Ye pulled Chen Heng onto the departing shuttle. Just as he was about to start it, he saw Dragon'er hiding and trembling nearby.

"Have the Ghost Clan finished dealing with the battlefield?"

Liu Ye dragged Dragon'er onto the shuttle. The three of them then drove towards the laboratory.

"Yes, the battlefield has been cleaned up." Dragon'er shrunk her neck, she didn't know why she was so afraid of this man.

"Teacher, you and this..."

"Ah, the two of us just tested Chen Heng's maximum density, and the results are out."

He took out the printed data, and Dragon'er took it from Liu Ye's hand and began to read it.

"How is this possible, the density of a star is only..." Dragon'er's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that an individual could reach such terrifying data.

"Don't ask too many questions about this, everyone has their own way of becoming stronger."

Liu Ye shrugged and turned to look at Chen Heng.

"You agree, don't you, Brother Chen?"

"Exactly, look how understanding your teacher is, unlike you, after all these years, you're still the same."

Chen Heng nodded in agreement. He hadn't bothered to ask Liu Ye how he managed to concoct so many things.

"You!" Dragon'er glared at Chen Heng angrily, then sulked in a corner by herself.

Dragon'er in this era was not mature enough, unlike Dragon One at Chen Heng's time node, who would still wear a professional smile even when angry.

Though the smile was a bit ugly... Soon, the three returned to Liu Ye's own laboratory.

Chen Heng and Liu Ye walked side by side, discussing the application of the two cores, completely ignoring Dragon'er who was still sulking.

"Let's try the neutron star core first, but I don't recommend using this as a power source."

"The antimatter core is more suitable as a power source, and the neutron star core would be good as a means of attack."

"Oh, right, I remember you said you could freely change your body. Can you turn into a cannon barrel? I have a design blueprint..."

As he spoke, Liu Ye pulled out a blueprint from a pile of messy drawings.

"This was a mech project I tried before, but it ultimately failed."

"Experiments have shown that humanoid mechs are not very useful except for looking cool. Anti-gravity System power mechs are much more practical."

"But I see the potential for humanoid mech application in you. Take a look at this blueprint, are you satisfied?"

Liu Ye handed his humanoid mech blueprint to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng took the blueprint, and his eyes lit up the moment his gaze fell upon it.

The practicality of this mech could be set aside for now; its design was truly cool.

"I think it's good. My physical body is much stronger than your alloys, so this operating method can be tested on me."

"It's just that, if it weren't for Materials issues, I'd definitely want to try the feeling of piloting a Gundam..."

The two men's discussion topics strayed further and further, already a galaxy away from the initial subject.

About ten minutes later, their conversation finally shifted from mechs back to the modification of the engine in Chen Heng's legs.

"If you ask me, just scrap the engine. I think an antimatter thruster would be great."

"Ah, unfortunately, this thing is still only in blueprint form. I wonder if you're willing to give it a try?"

Liu Ye turned and rummaged through the pile of blueprints for a while, finding an extremely complex one.

"It's no use showing me this. You just tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Chen Heng gave it two glances and then gave up, handing the blueprint back to Liu Ye.

"Alright then, I'll prepare the antimatter core first..."

Saying that, Liu Ye took Chen Heng and left the laboratory, getting into the shuttle to head to the Central Factory.

Only Dragon'er, who was still sulking in the corner, was left to watch the place.
