The near-moon orbit of an ocean planet, the Black Moon.

Inside the crystal labyrinthine lunar core, the complex of the insect mechanical protozoa has fully released its energy and grown to the critical point of metamorphosis.

"Tick! low energy, please start recharging. ”

"Tick! low energy, please start recharging!"

"Tick! low energy, please start recharging!"

At this time, the energy bar on the monitoring platform began to decline rapidly, which meant that the neutron mechanical protozoa needed to replenish their energy again.

"Condenser calibration angle...... Start charging. ”

With Xiao Xi's mechanical words, millions of condensers changed positions along the tracks, adjusted to a new angle, and began to aim at the silver crystal ring on the periphery of the hypergravity core to release energy.

Sneer——!

Complex trajectories of light jumped in space, and they were like countless golden thin lines, showing precise and perfect angles, densely shooting towards the silver crystal ring.

In the process, the silver crystals that surround the hypergravity core, like meteorite belts, quickly combine into evenly spaced spherical outlines, which look like a perfect crystal ball from a distance.

Buzz——!

In a violent roar, the crystal ball that received the huge power spun wildly, and in the dazzling light, it was like a frantically burning star.

“......”

Evan silently stared at the blinding crystal ball, watching the explosive flash intensify, causing the temperature control equipment in the space to be overloaded.

Just when the temperature almost exceeded the critical point, he held the hypergravity core in his left hand and raised a huge suction force, sucking all the light and heat leaked from the crystal ring into his body.

Under Ivan's control, the 'Crystal Ball' stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The light on the surface of the silver crystals, like tame beasts, became constant and clear.

After 27 seconds.

The complex of neutron mechanical protozoa moved as if awakened from a slumber, and the countless nodes in the distorted network began to move along a new trajectory. The silver gears that are linked to the quantum network are further accelerated at this time - the crystal rings on the outside world are also adjusted, the mirror is offset, the angle changes, avoiding those active nodes, and directly aiming at the silver gears to charge.

The collision of gears and gears burst out with a blast of energy and a low echo, the sound of which was loud and small, reverberating inside the core of the moon like the messy breath of some giant creature,

"Lack of energy...... Please increase the maximum charge limit. ”

"Lack of energy...... Please increase the maximum charge limit. ”

"Lack of energy...... Please increase the maximum charge limit. ”

After raising the charge limit several times in a row, the Black Moon, which has the most advanced energy system and is almost inexhaustible, actually shows signs of insufficient energy supply.

Thankfully, Evan had the backbone of it—he raised his left hand and harnessed the power of the Power Gem to help power the Black Moon.

In an instant, inside the void silver ball of light, the speed of countless nodes accelerated a little.

Similar to the activation ritual of the Divine Source Machine entering the Pantheon, it was now going on each neutron mechanical protozoa, and countless gears glowing with silver light were spinning at great speed, and almost only the flying blurred discs remained.

In the silence, the void and empty silver ball of light quickly dimmed, as if the light had been sucked away by something.

In that moment, the endless silver light vanished, replaced by a penetrating roar.

Boom——!

In the midst of this roar, the neutron mechanical protozoa's complex successfully broke away from its quantum form and reverted back into a closed silver dome, encompassing all the light and heat in it.

"It's finally the beginning of the fourth stage!"

Evan breathed a sigh of relief, then stopped supplying energy, and then heard Xiaoxi start a new round of urging:

"The experimental subjects need a lot of nutrients during the incubation period, and the owner is going to start putting the abandoned Shenyuan machine into it. ”

"Aren't you ready?" asked Ivan rhetorically.

"I need instructions!" Xiao Xi said confidently.

"Put it on. ”

After receiving permission, Xiao Xi immediately opened the hatch of the lunar core, and used a blue pillar of light to teleport one Divine Source Machine to the hypergravity core.

Yes, you read that right, it's a set.

Growing to this point, the appetite of the neutron mechanical protozoa has grown a lot, and a single Divine Source Machine is not enough to replenish the nutrients consumed by their evolution.

......

After devouring and digesting the three Divine Source Machines in one go, inside the Silver Dome, there was a loud roar of steel.

The loud sound was not just a sound wave, but it was also mixed with a converging spatial force, as if the entire Black Moon was emitting an angry roar.

In the loud sound of steel, metal pit lines appeared on the surface of the silver dome, countless precision gears turned, and dark red holy book symbols appeared one by one.

Squeak——!!!

Soon, the dome shook from the inside out, bursting out with a piercing high-pitched sound.

As time passed, the cacophony of noise gradually turned into a heartbeat-like sound.

But this loud bang was too shocking, and it seemed that only a super life form beyond the imagination of ordinary people could release such a magnificent and shocking sound.

"Xiaoxi, what is the state of the experiment!?" Seeing such an abnormal situation, Ivan immediately asked loudly.

"It's almost hatching...... Growth is taking a fast turn...... 78%...... 85%...... 99%！”

In response, Xiaoxi screamed, and the silver dome cracked open one after another, revealing a blazing glow like lava from the inside out. And in the depths of the blazing light, a lead-gray mechanical body with a vague outline could be seen, struggling and squirming violently.

“......”

Ivan's gaze was not attracted by this strange scene, but only stared at the glowing metal pits on the surface of the eggshell.

At this moment, those metal pit lines have undergone subtle changes, not only the trajectory of the operation is becoming more and more regular, but also the reorganization and merging to form a new energy circuit.

He could see that the symbols of the sacred book around the metal pit lines were also constantly changing...... The god of plants and alchemy, the god of storms and drought, the god of rain and dawn - all the gods that were swallowed by it seemed to have inherited and absorbed their properties and transformed them into something new.

"I actually obtained the power of the gods from the Divine Source Machine...... In this case, will it also inherit the power of the sun god and the god of the underworld?"

Yi Wen's heart moved, and then he raised his left hand and entered the core mysteries of the Sun Golden Sutra and the Holy Book of the Underworld inward.

Soon, on the surface of the cracked eggshell, in a corner, the energy circuits of the Golden Sutra of the Sun and the Holy Book of the Underworld appeared, and they were quickly digested and absorbed by the complex, and integrated into a new energy circuit.

"It seems that it will not be long before it can gather the power of the gods. Seeing this scene, he sighed silently.

Click——!

As the shell cracks, the core wrapped in countless metal armor pieces and mechanical parts can be seen.

The complex mechanical structure is slowly unfolding as the eggshell cracks, and the light of the condenser dissipates and is replaced by a beam of information. Xiao Xi stopped the huge data of the exchange complex, compared the calculated conceptual data, and began round after round of calibration and debugging.

"Hatch 21. ”

"Hatching 43. ”

"Hatching 69. ”

"Hatching 71. ”

"Hatch 88. ”

With the sound of precision, the eggshell gradually lost its original shape, and the internal mechanical body rapidly expanded, multiplied, and deformed, and finally broke through the layer of material that bound it, and the silver eggshell fell apart.

In a myriad of grand roars similar to the collision of steel, the blazing lava light faded, revealing the massive and hideous mechanical body inside.

Deep in the hypergravity core, a lead-gray mechanical body of 300 meters tall and unusually large was silently suspended in the center of the distorting force field.

The mechanical body had an extremely long tail, diamond-shaped pupils squeezed out of the scale armor on the surface, and a giant red vertical pupil opened on its chest. The overall appearance is similar to the mythical and legendary Hundred-Eyed Giant, just sleeping and floating there, releasing an unusually huge coercion.

"Master, the mechanical body you built for yourself is too ugly. Xiao Xi couldn't help but complain.

"It's just an embryo, and it needs to evolve again before it can grow to the fourth stage of fullness. Evan patiently explained.

At this moment, the vertical pupils on the chest of the complex suddenly lit up with a little dark red, which was a deep dark red like blood. Thick and sticky, it seems to be an intense color that flows when the light condenses to an almost liquid state.

Sneer——!

In the snap of a finger, the terrifying red light was uncontrolled by the distorted force field, pouring out from the hypergravity core.

In the next moment, that terrifying heat burned countless condensers to a crimson color, and the entire lunar core looked like it was about to burn through, and a large amount of mechanical equipment dissolved into liquid metal boiling in the flames.

However, the terrifying glare lasted less than a fraction of a second before disappearing—all the light, heat, and heat were absorbed by Evan's left hand, and disappeared without a trace.

"The host...... What's going on? Why did the subject suddenly move? You and I obviously didn't enter any commands. Xiao Xi exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't know, is it a design error? ”

Evan looked at the messy moon core, waved his hand to restore the surrounding instruments to their original state, and then stared at the complex in the hypergravity core, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Oh no! the complex fed back combat data...... Oh no! it's going to start!"

Click——!

The massive mechanical body slowly raised its head, as if it was looking up at something through the barrier of the black moon, towards the starry sky of the universe.

In the next moment, thousands of rays of light surged out from the countless pupils on the surface of the mechanical body, forming a huge polyhedral outline, which distorted the void to form a huge defensive force field, and the light within it flowed, and the nodes flickered, like countless starlight.

"Nozomi, increase the pressure intensity of the hypergravity core. Ivan seemed to see something, and immediately instructed.

"Yes!" Although Xiao Xi didn't understand what was going on, she faithfully fulfilled her mission.

At this moment, the complex's facial expression changed slightly, and it turned its head in a motions of looking around, and then opened its long, narrow metal mouthparts.

Boom ——!

The next moment, crimson flames poured out of its mouth, engulfing the entire space in an instant, bathing everything except Ivan in the raging flames. The flames greedily burned every space, spreading like a flood, covering all sides and filling every corner.

All of a sudden, a thick flame of light flooded everything, and the space was filled with an eerie blasting sound, making it impossible to tell whether it was the roar of machinery or the laughter of demons.

“......”

In the process, Ivan felt a force pass through the complex, guarding himself from the aftermath of the flames. Faced with this situation, after a brief thought, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes, and he quickly understood the behavior of the complex at this moment.

"Master, find a way to stop it, the Black Moon is about to be burned!"

"Stop using the Hypergravity Core, I mean stop completely, don't use it. Ivan then gave the order.

"Yes!" Xiao Xi hurriedly turned off the power supply to the hypergravity core.

The next moment when the hypergravity core stopped working, the light and flames ejected from the mouth of the complex actually stopped, and the remaining flames also dissipated silently, and the pupils that flickered with light quickly dimmed as if someone had pressed the turn off button at this time.

"Stopped? This is stopped???Master, what did you do?" Xiao Xi hurriedly asked.

"I didn't do anything. Evan shook his head, then patiently explained, "As you just saw, the test subject didn't get out of control, it was always protecting me when it was spraying flames. ”

"Then why did it suddenly act autonomously?" the pink artificial retardation obviously still didn't understand.

"It's obviously a self-defense mechanism, and from start to finish, it's just instinctively trying to protect itself. Because of the presence of the Hypergravity Core, it perceives oppression and discomfort - so when I ask you to increase the pressure, its reaction becomes more violent, and when the Gravity Core is turned off, it immediately quiets down. ”

As he spoke, Evan released his power to repair the damaged moon core as before, and then looked at the complex that had quieted down, and said with glowing eyes:

"It's worth noting that it just used three skills: Force Field Shield, Energy Hit, and Flamethrow...... It's still in an embryonic state, and no one has taught it these techniques at all! It's not even enshrined in the combat system...... I learned so many skills on my own. It can only be boiled down to the fact that, as a complex of mechanical protozoa, it is born with an extraordinary fighting instinct. ”

"A monster that perfectly meets your expectations from the owner. Xiao Xi commented.

"The premise is to grow to the sixth stage...... No, maybe Phase 5 will allow me to sweep everything. ”

Ivan narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light shone in his pupils:

"Now is the most critical time! The complex is currently in an embryonic state, although it has surpassed the Divine Source Machine, it is only a line stronger, and there is still a possibility of being destroyed. Only by getting through the current period of danger can it become a transcendent in the full sense of the word!"
