503: Can be considered as one use

Looking around, there were bio-cultivation pods one after another, at least tens of thousands just in sight.

What was in those cultivation pods was not anything else, but vigorous humans.

"This is the most protected area of the underground base, which I call 'Purgatory'."

Liu Ye patted a bio-cultivation pod next to him, and the human inside trembled.

"Do you see the electrodes connected to their brains?"

"To make them feel better, I've uploaded their subconscious and deep consciousness to a virtual world."

"This way, they can use that power without enduring too much pain."

"Which is what I've always called 'Incredible Power'."

"..." Chen Heng glanced at the large glass jar in front of him, then turned to Liu Ye.

"Does this count as cybernetic immortality?"

"?" Liu Ye was just condemning his conscience when he heard Chen Heng's words and was stunned.

"Think about it, no worries about food or clothing, and you don't even need to move."

"Just stay in the jar and have twenty-four hours of uninterrupted sweet dreams."

"Seems pretty comfortable?"

Chen Heng compared it to the various part-time jobs he had done while working his way through school in his previous life, and this seemed quite comfortable... "It seems... to make some sense?" Liu Ye seemed to realize he was overthinking it.

He was too focused on freedom, ignoring individual will instead.

These people all seemed to have volunteered to be 'fuel', and they were living quite comfortably.

"Alright, why are you being so sentimental and whiny?" Chen Heng waved his hand, feeling that Liu Ye was being too dramatic.

The time node he was in was not even as good as this; no wonder the future called their era the Great Chaos Era.

"Aren't ordinary people in the time node I'm in more screwed than them?"

"Forget freedom, they're lucky to be alive and not inexplicably chewed up as a snack by an Anomaly."

"And you're still being dramatic."

"You have a point." After hearing Chen Heng's almost unreasonable words, Liu Ye felt much more relieved.

"However, it's unlikely to significantly increase the efficiency of antimatter production; there are other things that need to be produced."

"But if the root appears in the real world in two months, then there's enough time."

"Just a small adjustment to the nutrient solution ratio..."

Liu Ye's hundreds of mechanical arms emerged from his body and began to set various parameters.

"Alright, I've worked them a bit harder; I've raised the priority of antimatter production by two Ranks, so the amount you need should be produced in about fifteen days."

"So why exactly did you bring me here?"

Chen Heng didn't quite understand why Liu Ye brought him here; was he going to confess to him?

"Some things I've kept buried in my heart, with no one to confide in."

"If I told the local natives, they wouldn't understand, as our worldviews are different."

"Talking to you has made me feel much better."

"Thank you."

Liu Ye chuckled, feeling much more relaxed.

"You're sick, aren't you?" Chen Heng really didn't understand; he never had such worries.

"Maybe, maybe I really am sick?" Liu Ye shrugged and waved for a shuttle.

"Come on, let's go research how to modify your flight method."

"I think a neutron star core would be excellent."

"And the transmission method of that mecha, see if you can apply it to yourself..."

The two got into the shuttle and drove towards Liu Ye's private laboratory... Meanwhile, Chen Heng Unit Two, in the future, stood on the steel city wall, watching the sandstorm approaching in the distance.

"Tianer, this kind of trash can beat you guys like this?"

Chen Heng's old face twitched, and he turned to look at Chen Tianer beside him.

"Brother, don't stand there talking without feeling the pain." Chen Tianer rolled a beautiful white eye.

"Can you compare with us?"

"After so many years of technological development, we have only just managed to fight the alien beasts to a draw."

"The average strength of the alien beasts is around that of a Xiantian Martial Artist, while the average strength of the Human Race is merely Acquired."

"Even with strong fire support, facing hundreds of thousands of Xiantian Martial Artists attacking the city simultaneously, holding on is already the limit."

"Tsk, isn't it just a Xiantian Martial Artist..." Chen Heng pouted, couldn't there be a more challenging opponent?

For example, the root itself directly entering the fray.

"Brother, the alien beasts have reached the range of fire coverage, make your move."

Chen Tianer was too lazy to discuss these matters with Chen Heng.

After all, in her brother's eyes, everything except the root was trash.

"Alright." Chen Heng sighed, waved his hand, and the Power of the Ancestral Witch of Zhu Jiuyin instantly activated.

The approaching army of alien beasts was instantly frozen, each one stopped like an ice sculpture.

"How do you want them to die?" Chen Heng turned to look at Chen Tianer.

"Hmm..." Chen Tianer thought for a moment. Since it was to create momentum for Chen Heng, the bigger the commotion, the better.

Slamming them one by one with a fist, like before, had no impact.

"Brother, what's the biggest commotion you can make?"

"The biggest commotion, huh..." Chen Heng pondered his various abilities.

The nuclear bomb punch was excluded first; the heaven and earth blood fetus did not contain deuterium or tritium.

"It doesn't have to be a big commotion; as long as it looks scary, that's enough."

Chen Tianer saw that Chen Heng was a bit conflicted and thought for a moment, then rephrased it.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Scaring people is simple!"

Chen Heng clapped his hands. Among his various abilities, the most terrifying one was the move he had never used since acquiring it.

Desire Realm Divine Ability · Heavenly Demon Blood Calamity!

"Alright, you and Silver White both stand back; I'm going to do something big."

Chen Heng took a deep breath, and the Qi and blood in his body began to boil.

Soon, a blood-colored sphere the size of a human head appeared in Chen Heng's hand.

"Watch closely, this move is called Desire Realm Divine Ability · Heavenly Demon Blood Calamity!"

He threw the blood-colored sphere with force, and in the blink of an eye, it landed amidst the million-strong army of alien beasts.

Buzz!

In an instant, the world fell silent, and all visible things turned into black and white.

Immediately after, a fierce wind swept through, and the million-strong army of alien beasts vanished without a trace.

"..." Chen Tianer somewhat suspected that her imaging System was malfunctioning; how could she not have seen what just happened?

"Job done!" Chen Heng clapped his hands. This Heavenly Demon Blood Calamity was quite convenient for clearing out cannon fodder.
