Volume 19, Chapter 90 Devouring
The consequences would be absolutely catastrophic.
This soul carrier obviously has the ability to absorb soul energy and use the soul energy to transform metal materials into various functional components. Once it gets enough soul energy and metal, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
"Open the isolation gate quickly!"
With a bang, the steel isolation gate in the center of the experimental area suddenly lowered, blocking the soul carrier's attempt to crawl towards the experimental equipment. However, when we saw that the soul carrier was blocked by the metal gate that suddenly fell, instead of relaxing, our expressions became even more panicked.
Before, we didn't react because the thing happened suddenly. When we saw the gate fall, we suddenly remembered that the damn gate was also made of steel, and that thing was best at decomposing metal. Such a steel gate is like a piece of cream cake to it. Can you expect to defend a bank vault with a door made of buttercream cake?
Sure enough, just when we just thought of this, the guy had already climbed onto the steel gate with its six mechanical legs, and then we saw that the gate quickly collapsed like melted cheese and turned into a A large pool of metal solution.
When the metal gate completely melted, the liquefied metal began to flow rapidly towards the soul carrier, and then quickly formed a ball of metal liquid. On this day, after the metal ball was completely formed, it began to gradually become taller and longer, and it had a vague tendency to change into a human shape.
Seeing that the thing was evolving into a human form, I quickly pushed away the researcher next to me, and then shouted to the sound transmission array: "No. 1, smash the soul container immediately and throw all the soul fire inside. Go up the wall."
After receiving the order, Golem No. 1 quickly turned around and grabbed the soul container behind him, and then threw it directly towards the separation wall next to it. There was just a crash, and the box of soul containers fell onto the isolation wall and became fragments on the ground. Then the soul fire inside was immediately absorbed by the isolation wall next to it, and in a burst of sparks, All of them were neutralized by the energy on the separation wall.
After seeing the broken soul fire being eliminated by the separation wall, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the soul carrier is still there, whether it is melting metal or forming new parts, soul energy is consumed. So what if it now gets a lot of metal? As long as there is no soul energy replenishment, once its energy is exhausted, it will be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.
The No. 1 demon did not stop after smashing a box of soul fire. Instead, it quickly picked up other soul container boxes next to it and started smashing them against the wall. All the soul fire that broke out were all quickly hit by the separation wall without exception. Neutralized. However, in the process of the No. 1 Golem quickly smashing the box, the metal solution next to it finally took shape. Although it has not yet completely stabilized, it is now obvious that this thing looks a bit like a mobile angel. Needless to say, once it is fully formed, it will definitely look like a mobile angel. Of course, this new look also doesn't have wings.
Seeing that thing taking shape quickly, and there were many boxes of soul containers around No. 1, I quickly shouted: "No. 1, you are allowed to use weapons to quickly destroy the soul containers."
"Yes, President." Golem No. 1's eyes suddenly lit up, and with a cracking sound, the guy directly took down the tomahawk hanging from his back, and then suddenly swung the tomahawk towards the pile of boxes. Go down. The soul container was originally a very fragile thing, and it was instantly shattered by such a hit. The soul fire inside lost its restraint and immediately scattered in all directions.
Since the soul fire itself has no intelligence, they just fly around unconsciously after they float out. The energy isolation wall has a certain adsorption effect on various energies, so most of the soul fire is dissipating. Later, he was sucked into the wall and was completely neutralized. Of course, because the soul fire floats in all directions, the blue tentacles stretched out from the hateful soul carrier also captured several groups of soul fire. However, it is better to let it catch a few balls like this than to let it swallow the whole box. At least the energy it gets now is only tens of thousands.
"Researcher, how much energy does that guy have now?" I turned around and asked.
Upon hearing my question, the researcher responsible for monitoring energy changes quickly looked at the instrument and said: "The value fluctuates between 233,000 and 248,000."
"Fortunately, it's not too high." I said to Golem No. 1: "Go and attack the experimental subject, be careful not to be touched by it."
After receiving the order, Golem No. 1 immediately strode towards the pile of molten metal that was being formed, and then swung the battle ax into a sweep, only to hear a "dang" sound and directly cut off half of the guy's body. They were all knocked crookedly. The shape of the mobile angel that was about to take shape was almost interrupted by the waist, but it quickly absorbed the upper body that had been hanging upside down from the side of the body, and then the disconnected waist began to extend upwards and gradually grew. Upper body and head. And what's worse is that the guy actually melted No. 1's ax and inhaled it into his body. If it weren't for No. 1's orders to keep that guy away, maybe even No. 1 would have been eaten by now.
Seeing that guy was about to take shape again, I quickly asked the researcher behind him. "Did its energy change just now?"
"Yes. The energy has dropped by more than two thousand," the researcher said.
"It seems to be working." I said and ordered to the sound transmission magic circle again: "No. 1, remove the table behind you, use the table legs as weapons, continue to hit him, be careful not to be touched by him. arrive."
Number 1 turned his head and glanced at the table with parts next to him, then walked up without hesitation and overturned the table, then smashed the legs of the table and took it in his hand, turned around and slapped the guy who was taking shape. On the body.
Although the weapon he was holding this time was not a metal weapon, with the power of the golem, even a wooden stick could produce considerable damage. With a snap, the wooden table legs were broken by a blow, but the upper body of the body formed by the soul carrier was also knocked off again.
Seeing that the attack was working, I immediately turned back and asked, "How's the energy?"
"Another drop of more than two thousand."
"There is a door." I turned back and continued shouting: "No. 1, break another table leg to test the strength of the table leg, and then use the remaining two table legs as weapons to attack the experimental subject. Pay attention. Control your strength and don’t interrupt anymore.”
After receiving the order, No. 1 immediately broke one of the table legs to measure the hardness of the wooden table legs. Then he quickly pulled out the other two table legs and smashed them against the body formed by the soul carrier. Of course this time It controlled its power, and although the metal solution from the guy it hit could still be seen flying everywhere, the wooden table legs were unharmed.
As No. 1 smashed hard, the energy value of the thing began to gradually decrease. We all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was finally solved. However, just when we relaxed, the accident happened again. The metal solution that was condensing the human form didn't know if it found out that it couldn't complete the deformation. It actually gave up the plan of forming the human form and suddenly stretched it. A metal tentacle popped out and entangled it in an instant. No.'s ankle.
"This is bad!"
Sure enough, as the metal tentacle hung on No. 1's ankle, we saw that No. 1's entire foot suddenly melted into a metal solution. Although his legs did not liquefy instantly, they were still melting. Spreading upward rapidly, according to this trend, No. 1 will soon turn into a pile of metal solution and be absorbed by that guy.
Although we really want to get No. 1 out, we don't dare to close the energy barrier now, so people from outside can't go in to help, and No. 1 inside can't get out either. Fortunately, No. 1 is just a low-level demon without intelligence, and it was originally meant to be a victim.
Looking at the liquefied part gradually spreading upward, I quickly shouted to the sound transmission circle: "No. 1, self-destruct immediately."
"Understood, command confirmed. Self-destruct." With a bang, the other parts of No. 1's body that had not yet liquefied exploded instantly. The shock wave instantly knocked everything in the room to pieces, and even the deforming metal solution was blown into several pieces.
"Report energy changes," I shouted over my shoulder.
The researcher behind quickly replied: "The current energy fluctuates between 186,000 and 192,000, and the value is still declining."
"When I ask about the value later, just tell me the middle number of the fluctuation value. If the difference is not big, don't report the range."
"clear."
"What's the value now?"
"There are still 186,000 left."
I nodded and continued to observe the situation in the experimental area. The explosion just now blew away a lot of the metal solution, and all the separated solution quickly turned into metal blocks and hit the ground, but there was a fragment connected to the soul carrier that still remained. It hit the ground in liquid form.
As soon as the thing hit the ground, it transformed into six legs again and ran towards the nearby metal block. Since there was no golem to help, we could only watch it run to a piece of metal and step on it. , and then the ball of metal quickly liquefied and fused to its shell, and after a burst of squirming, it turned into more legs, and four arms-like things grew out of it, but they were much shorter.
Watching that strange thing running around collecting debris in the experimental area, we can only pray that its energy will be exhausted soon. However, it was a pity that in the end, when the guy collected all the metal that had been blasted before, its energy had just dropped to 140,000. Although this number is already low compared to previous peaks, this amount of energy is still enough to change a lot of things, so we are not worried at all. If this guy breaks through the isolation barrier, things will be difficult to handle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at *** (***.***), ***.
