553: Chapter 554 The Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of the Hand Captures the Bird Man, Primordial Analysis of the Wings of Light

Above the city of Rome, a scene worthy of being recorded in history was frozen in time.

The hundred-zhang-tall Six-winged Angel, radiating endless majesty, was now like a fly trapped in amber, suspended in mid-air, motionless.

And before it, that tiny human emperor was scrutinizing it wantonly, with the look of someone appraising goods.

"Presumptuous... Mortal... How dare you commit blasphemy..."

The angel was still trying to struggle using its Mental Energy; its massive energy core was rotating frantically, attempting to break through this layer of invisible spatial shackles.

"Still being stubborn?"

Lu Chen gave a cold snort.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, fingers spread.

"Palm Buddha Kingdom."

With his low shout, the space in his palm suddenly collapsed, forming a bottomless black hole.

That black hole wasn't large, only about the size of a palm, but the suction it emitted seemed capable of devouring the stars.

"Capture!"

Lu Chen's fingers suddenly clenched.

"Rumble—"

A tooth-aching sound of distortion echoed from the sky.

The hundred-zhang-tall Six-winged Angel let out a shrill scream.

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people, its body began to shrink and distort rapidly, flying toward Lu Chen's palm uncontrollably, like a vortex being sucked into a drain.

"No! I am of the noble Seraph Race! You cannot..."

The voice came to an abrupt halt.

The massive figure of light vanished in an instant, finally turning into a speck of light the size of a grain of rice, which sank into Lu Chen's palm.

Peace was restored between heaven and earth.

The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight once again bathed the walls of Rome.

But for the Europeans below the city, this sunlight was more piercing than the dead of winter.

Their god had been taken away.

Just like catching a sparrow, he had been snatched up by that Eastern man, without even managing to stir up a ripple of resistance.

Lu Chen paid no mind to the ants below.

His Divine Thought had already submerged into the Palm Buddha Kingdom.

This was an independent Small World, which had now been transformed into a massive laboratory with a style combining science fiction and cultivation.

That unfortunate Six-winged Angel was currently being held in a massive transparent force field container.

Its originally massive body had been compressed to only two meters tall here, and it was crashing around inside the container like a headless fly.

"Taichu, get to work."

Lu Chen's voice rang out in the laboratory.

"Yes, Master."

Countless mechanical arms and probes extended from all directions, instantly inserting themselves into the force field container.

"Zzt—"

Laser beams began scanning the angel's body.

"Analyzing energy circuits..."

"Extracting wing samples..."

"Cracking core crystal frequencies..."

The angel let out wave after wave of screams, but under absolute suppression, it could only watch helplessly as it was "sliced for research."

Before long, Taichu's analysis report was ready.

"Master, significant value has been discovered."

"The six 'Light Wings' of this creature are a natural high-dimensional energy converter."

"It can directly extract energy from vacuum zero-point energy and stellar radiation, with a conversion efficiency as high as 98%."

"If this structure can be replicated and applied to our 'Star' battleships..."

"Oh?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

"In other words, our ships won't need to burn coal or constantly replace fuel rods in the future?"

"Yes. Theoretically, as long as there is light, they can have infinite endurance."

"Furthermore," Taichu continued, "this wing structure can also be used to manufacture individual flight mechs, allowing ordinary soldiers to possess the ability of supersonic flight."

"Good! Excellent!"

Lu Chen laughed heartily, looking at the angel that had been tormented until it was on its last breath, his gaze becoming increasingly "kind."

"How is this a birdman? This is clearly a Treasure-delivering Boy!"

"Taichu, don't kill it."

"Keep it alive; this is the best 'biological battery' and 'research specimen'."

"Feed it some of that Spring of Life or whatever to keep it alive. Draw its blood once a day and harvest its feathers once a day."

"It's called sustainable development."

Hearing this, the angel in the container trembled all over, its eyes rolled back, and it fainted straight away from fright.

If it had known there was such a demon on Earth, it wouldn't have responded to that damned summons even if it were killed.

Lu Chen exited the Palm Buddha Kingdom.

He looked back down at the city of Rome.

At this moment, his projection still hovered in mid-air, but the feeling it gave off was ten thousand times more terrifying than that angel just now.

"The god is gone."

Lu Chen's cold voice echoed throughout the city.

"Now, who else wants to try my methods?"

No one answered.

There was only a dead silence and the sound of weapons hitting the ground.
