"I thank you for your advice, Your Highness."
Cain clasped his hand and bowed toward the Collapsing Lightning Duke for his words.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke nodded before staring into Cain's eyes for a while and finally raising his index finger, generating a drop of blood. He began to charge a massive amount of black lightning into it, and once it reached its zenith, he sent it toward Cain.
Cain's eyes widened when he saw that drop of blood flash toward him, and it was so fast that before he could do anything, it landed on his shoulder, generating a strange rune in the form of a lightning arc before vanishing beneath his skin. He could not help but frown since even if he detected no danger from the drop of blood, he did not like people doing things to his body without asking.
"Blood Sea had never been a simple place, and right now, the dangers for an outsider like you could not be more serious. When the ti cos, the rune will act on its own. If you are lucky, you might not need it."
The Collapsing Lightning Duke's face was pale, making it clear that generating that drop of blood ca at a great price. He saw the inquisitive gaze in Cain's eyes but was not in the mood to answer questions and signaled for Luther to take the young man out.
Luther bowed to the Collapsing Lightning Duke and brought Cain to the teleportation matrix. Once they were back on the first floor, he began to speak as they walked toward the exit.
"Major Laurifer, there is a reason why the Collapsing Lightning Duke did not give you an explanation about the rune on your shoulder. You should forget it exists and depend only on your power for the trial that would co in the future."
Cain's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He understood the aning behind the words of the bald man, and while he nodded, he was not the type that would let things slide.
Once Cain was out of the Titan Tower and dashing back to his residence, he spoke to the system in his mind.
"System, what is the current state of the [A.I. Chip Module]."
Unlike the other modules, the [A.I. Chip Module] would evolve alongside his soul force and would not need his direct intervention.
[A.I. Chip Module has evolved after the breakthrough of Vessel's soul force to the Wave Champion Rank.
....
A.I. Chip Module:
- Cellular Analysis
- Data Gathering and Analysis
- Virtual Simulation
- Scan Force Field
- Hacking]
Cain saw that, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes. Although the only difference in the description was the lack of the word basic, he knew that the power of all the tools had evolved imnsely.
"System, analyze the foreign energy left inside by the Collapsing Lightning Duke."
Cain did not think that the Collapsing Lightning Duke had done sothing to harm him, but leaving things without an answer was not his style.
[Analysing.
...
...
...
The A.I. Chip Module can detect the energy left inside Vessel, but its complexity is at a level beyond the module's current capabilities.]
A complicated smile appeared on Cain's face as he heard that. The [A.I. Chip Module] should be able to analyze anything at the level of Apotheosis. Still, the phenona that the Collapsing Lightning Duke could give birth to was at a level much greater.
Since there was no way to learn its true purpose, Cain followed Luther's advice and forgot about it. He would not expect anything from the rune and would rely on his own power to face anything that would co in the future.
Using Sonic Dash, Cain was able to reach his residence very fast, and once he was inside, a somber expression appeared on his face. The trip to Blood Sea would be one full of danger, and he would be dragged into the machinations of a Titan.
Although the Blood Duke saved his life, he was not so naive as to think the two had a special relationship. He would not expect this one to be of help, and the only thing he could trust in Blood Sea would be his personal power.
Cain adopted a ditative stance in the center of his room and closed his eyes before commanding the system.
"System, activate the next module!"
The instant he shouted that command, Cain felt a sharp pain in his mind that was soon replaced by a heaviness so massive that it made it hard for him to even think.
If Cain's soul force were still that of a Wave Warrior, the pressure of unlocking the third module would have been so much that he could not even think.
Luckily he was at the level of Wave Champion, and after a few minutes, the unbearable pressure on his mind vanished, and he regained his cognitive abilities.
The first thing Cain heard after that was the system telling him the na of the new module.
[Gluttony Module activated.]
Unlike the case with the [A.I. Chip Module] and the [Genetic Coder Module] that existed in a place he could not find and had no visualization of them, the instant he obtained the [Gluttony Module], he saw a strange dinsion inside his soul.
It manifested like a dot of light not larger than a grain of rice, but the space inside it was imnse, enough to hold a three-hundred-ter tall building, and in its center, there was a multicolored fla.
Luckily for Cain, he did not have to wait for long for an explanation about the fla and dinsion since the system soon gave him a thorough description.
[Gluttony Module: Module ant to grant the Vessel the ability to transform all things into power for his growth.
Tools:
-Earth Fiend Fla: Capable of devouring matter and energy. It can send 5% of all it consud into the Vessel.
- 10 points of Destiny Force can be used to increase the Earth Fiend Fla's devouring speed by 10% for 24 hours. It can be stacked up to 100 tis.
- 100 points of Destiny Force can be used so the Earth Fiend Fla drives the energy and vitality it generated directly into the Vessel's body and energy pool. Training speed is 75% slower than if the Vessel takes active control over the energy and vitality.
-Devourer Dinsion: Dinsion ant to hold food for the Earth Fiend Fla. It can hold anything with an energy level beneath the Apotheosis Rank.
To send living entities into it, they must be paralyzed and unable to resist.]
The description of the [Gluttony Module] was tricky at tis, like the fact he would only get 5% of everything the [Earth Fiend Fla] consud.
From a certain point of view, it did not make sense. There was always a loss in the energy of the things we consu, like, for example, when Cain used wave crystals.
Cain could focus and try to send every single iota of energy into his Rebirth Heart to transform into Astral Wave, but it was impossible to consu 100%. There was always a loss, but it was small, around 7%.
Still, that ant that Cain would get 93% of the energy from the things he consud, sothing much higher than the 5% the [Earth Fiend Fla] would give him.
However, unlike him, which could only consu certain things, the [Earth Fiend Fla]'s description had the words energy and matter, making a wild idea appear in Cain's mind.
"System, could I use the [Gluttony Module] to devour an entire mountain?"
The idea of consuming a mountain was crazy, but there was a reason why its na was Absolute Life Form System.
[As long as Vessel can send it into the Devourer Dinsion and its energy level is beneath the Apotheosis Rank, nothing stops you from consuming an entire mountain.]
Cain showed a large smile as he could not contain his excitent. Regardless of their strength, all cultivators were constantly searching for resources, and he just got a tool that completely solved the problem.
Cain began to fantasize about the future. There might be a ti when his strength reached such a divine level that he could use the [Gluttony Module] to consu stars and maybe even suns!
Those wild dreams did not distract him for long, and after a few monts, he was able to concentrate again and imdiately tested the efficacy of the [Gluttony Module].
He took several Wave Artifacts from his space ring ant for Wave Warriors. None of them had any use for him, and most people in his place would either sell them back or give them as rewards, but now there was another path.
A red force field covered all of the artifacts, and the next second, they were teleported into the [Devourer Dinsion]. The [Earth Fiend Fla] expanded the instant they appeared, covering them with fire.
Cain closed his eyes and saw how the artifacts lted, generating a stream of energy that he could use to improve his cultivation.
