Chapter 601: Vanishing
By the time Cross reached the ground, the situation was already under control.
When the Resistance retreated, Cross didn't want to take action personally, after all, it happened in the city of Odin, and if he let the enemy slip away, he would definitely bear the unshirkable responsibility. However, he did not make a move, because the violent explosion not only destroyed the ground part of the modulation center, but also destroyed the small half of Odin City, causing great chaos. If the situation gets out of control, he will take on greater responsibility.
Fortunately, the explosion occurred in the air about twenty kilometers above the ground.
If it happens on the ground, or if the explosion point is a little lower, say only a few kilometers, then the entire city of Odin will be destroyed.
It's just that what happened, Cross is not very clear.
The only thing that is certain is that it is an explosion produced by the energy body, otherwise it would not have such great power. So it must have something to do with the super-powerful being who attacked the modulation center, because he alone has enough energy bodies. It must have been "Locke" who stopped him at the last moment, allowing the explosion to happen in the air, so that the entire city of Odin was not destroyed. Otherwise, even if Cross doesn't die, the others will not be spared.
Coming to the ground, Cross immediately strengthened his mental power and controlled the situation.
Without his control, those frightened officers and soldiers, as well as the tens of millions of modulators in Odin City, would definitely quickly lose control.
"Commander-in-Chief!" An officer ran over. "It's alive."
"Send it to the headquarters, and save its life no matter what."
"Yes!"
Cross glanced around and rose into the air. From the air, you can see the damage caused by the explosion more clearly, and you can better control the situation.
By the time he reached the ground, only one of the four "Locke" remained, the dying Howard.
Its wounds were so severe that the slash that struck it nearly split it in half. Although it is still alive, the situation is not optimistic at all. It stands to reason that Cross doesn't need to worry about one "Locke", as long as there is a need, Holmes can concoct more "Locke" at any time, and maybe there are a lot of half-finished products in the temple. It's just that he knew the situation at that time, and it was the only one who witnessed the whole process.
What's more, it had fought against that super-powerful being.
In other words, only it knows how powerful that super-powerful existence really is. The things it knows must be of great significance.
Thinking of this, Cross contacted Holmes through consciousness.
To his slight surprise, Holmes did not respond.
Isn't Homs in the Temple? Cross was a little confused. Although Holmes sits in the temple, the patriarchs know that Holmes often plays missing. Five years ago, after that battle, Homs disappeared for some time. Since then, Homs has been missing for a few days almost every year.
As for the reason for Holmes's disappearance, it has long been an open secret.
Cross had no choice but to return to the headquarters.
In the headquarters, there was a separate modulation room, equipped with a set of modulation equipment. In the past, this modulation equipment was mainly used by Cross.
By the time Cross arrived, Howard had already been sent into the modulation tank.
Although Howard is dying and has suffered a lot of physical damage, as long as he is alive, he will not be able to die after entering the modulation tank.
Of course, it will take some time for Howard to recover.
While the modulators were treating Howard, Cross went to the communications center. Although he could communicate directly with the other Patriarchs through consciousness, Holmes did not respond, so Cross had to use a more primitive method to contact Holmes using a communication device.
To Close's slight surprise, Holmes was inside the temple and was not missing.
"Doctor's ......"
"I already know what's going on over there."
"Doctor, I didn't get rid of that guy."
"You can't be blamed, and it's not your responsibility." Holmes's words were calm. "I'll go to you in two days, and I'll talk about it then."
"Doctor's ......"
"Alright, so be it."
Communication was interrupted, and Cross was a little depressed. Although Holmes didn't say much, it was clear that he was doing something very important.
Of course, Holmes has been doing something very important for the past five years.
Cross didn't think much of it and went to the concoction room.
The concoctors had saved Howard's life, and his body was rapidly recovering. It's just that Cross didn't wake up Howard, and the fact that this guy survived such a terrible battle shows that its vitality is very tenacious and may have a greater use.
At this time, Chu Tianjiang and the others had already gone deep into the dense forest.
Chu Tianjiang didn't say much about what started to happen, Iska didn't ask much, and Soya and Hawke didn't take the initiative to bring it up.
The point is that they completed the task, and Chu Tianjiang also destroyed most of the modulation center.
Although a few resistance fighters were killed, such a victory was remarkable for Soya and Hawke, and they were both still alive.
With the help of more advanced modulation equipment, as well as the concoction data obtained, Iskar was able to remodulate all resistance fighters and increase their combat effectiveness. If a similar situation were encountered next time, the resistance fighters would not be left to their deaths and would surely be able to achieve a more brilliant victory.
Of course, what really matters is the significance of the attack.
On the way back to the station, Hawke assigned several resistance fighters, who were known for their speed, to contact the nearby Resistance and inform the other Resistance of the attack on the Odin City Modulation Center. Even if other people don't believe it, as long as you go to Odin City to see it, you are not afraid that they will not believe it. When the time comes, other resistance forces will definitely come in droves, and the ranks will grow.
That said, there's going to be a lot to do in the coming period.
For this reason, Hawke also found Chu Tianjiang and mentioned the matter of the energy body.
This operation was mainly to obtain modulation equipment and modulation materials, so no energy body was obtained, and energy bodies were needed to transform resistance fighters.
To Hawke's slight surprise, Chu Tianjiang didn't take it seriously at all, or rather didn't think it was a big deal.
Of course, Hawke didn't know what to do, and Chu Tianjiang only discovered in the beginning of the battle that there were a lot of energy bodies in Dom's subspace. Using these energy bodies, let alone transforming thousands of resistance fighters, even the residents of Rising Sun City would have no problem.
In addition, Chu Tianjiang was not in the mood to think about these trivial things.
At this time, he did not even think about the possible counterattack of the occupying forces.
What really gave Chu Tianjiang a headache was the modulators of Gramm. Holmes targeted him and made these modulators, so will he make a name for himself?
And more importantly, how much of a threat are those modulators to the ISCAR?
Although Chu Tianjiang could remain silent and not speak out about these worries, in front of Iska, he didn't have many secrets to speak of. As long as Iskar wanted to, he could read his mind at any time, so that he could know what was happening in the Dao, and he would know his concerns.
Along the way, Chu Tianjiang was thinking about Iscar's safety.
After thinking about it, Chu Tianjiang only thought of one way, that is, to let Iska stay by his side. As long as you are with him, even if there is danger, you can solve it.
In fact, it is only by acting alone that Iskar is at risk of being in danger.
After the battle that began, even if those modulators were still alive, or there were similar modulators, they would not have ventured to attack Chu Tianjiang.
In fact, Chu Tianjiang's worries were not superfluous at all.
It's not just Howard who is alive, it's Gramm.
In the moment before the energy body detonated, Gramm, who was unwilling to die like this, did a very important thing, that is, he used the energy body to protect the core part of the brain.
In order to deal with Chu Tianjiang, Gram and the other four modulators all had a small piece of energy in their bodies, and most of their superpowers came from this energy body. To put it bluntly, it was through this energy body that they gained the superpower to deal with energy people, otherwise they would not have posed a threat to Chu Tianjiang at all. It is precisely because of this, forced by the desire to survive, that Graham made an extremely bold decision.
This small piece of energy saved Gramm and gave him a second life.
The violent explosion, especially the ultra-high temperature near the explosion point, vaporized Gramm's body in an instant, and only the small piece of brain tissue protected by the energy body was not destroyed.
In fact, that's the heart of Gram.
After the concoction, Gram was no longer a real human, as its brains became different from those of humans, closer to those of insects. This small piece of brain tissue stores the most important information about living organisms, but it does not include all of Gram's memories.
The violent explosion ejected this small piece of brain tissue wrapped in energy bodies dozens of kilometers away.
Because it was too small, only the size of a fingernail, and the explosion produced a bright fire, Chu Tianjiang didn't notice it at all.
At the time, no one else noticed.
If the battle were fought somewhere else, such as over the primeval forest, Graham might have been silent for decades, or even forever. Although that small piece of brain tissue contains the necessary information for life, and after self-evolution, as long as one cell is alive, Gram can be resurrected. The problem is that the resurrection requires materiality, that is, by encroaching on other lives. To put it bluntly, Gramm can only hope to be resurrected if he encounters other living beings, whether they are humans, concoctors, or animals. If he landed in a place that was inaccessible and rarely inhabited by animals, Graham would not be able to obtain the material needed for the resurrection.
The problem is that the battle is taking place over the city of Odin, which in turn is one of the largest cities on the North American continent.
The place where that little piece of brain tissue fell was not outside the city, but inside the city!
