Chapter 824: Phoenix, Absorbing the Ghost Flame

The starship docked outside the core of the Ghost Star Cluster, and Yang Qingrui used the fruit ability conversion on the starship to make it "eat" the devil fruit of the phoenix form of the mythical beast.

Although this technology was put into practice for the first time, the technical difficulty was not high, and it soon succeeded in making the starship gain the ability of the phoenix.

Even the appearance of the starship has become the shape of the phoenix!

The huge phoenix was burning with resurrection blue flames all over its body. It seemed like a living body, screaming to the sky and making a loud cry.

After using the devil fruit, the object will also have three forms.

That is, the original form of the object, completely transformed into the form of the beast, and the form of the object and the beast combined.

For example, the elephant sword of the Pirate King Rispandam has a sword form, an elephant form, and an elephant sword form.

Now the starship is the beast form of the phoenix, it flaps its wings in the starry sky, and the heart of the phoenix is ​​the sun stone furnace!

The star becomes its heart, and the moment it turns into the phoenix, the star burns at a faster speed.

The higher-grade metals removed from the Protoss starships that covered the surface of the starship melted quickly at this moment and were completely combined with the starship body.

The decomposed and unused ruins in the material library were also extracted by the starship itself and fused into its outer skin.

However, the price was the rapid consumption of energy.

Just this smelting consumed one percent of the star energy in its heart!

Of course, the consumption of a large amount of energy and materials was exchanged for the rapid upgrade of the starship.

The level of this starship is now higher than the main god-level starships they encountered before!

It should be able to resist the space-time distortion caused by the huge gravity of the core.

Moreover, when the starship was in the beast form of the phoenix, the space inside its body remained the same and did not change.

It did not affect the passengers inside the starship.

Ao Xin reached out and touched the surface of the starship. In name, this starship belonged to him and he was the owner of this starship.

So he ordered it to transform into a bird ship.

The appearance of the starship changed immediately, becoming a mechanical body in the shape of a phoenix, but its appearance was still covered with a layer of resurrection blue flame.

It looked quite mysterious.

"Brother, our starship has never had a name. Now that it has eaten the phoenix fruit, let's call it the Phoenix!"

Ao Chen suggested beside him, but Ao Xin didn't care.

To him, the starship was just a means of transportation, and they only had one, so there was no need to give it a name to distinguish it.

Let alone the Phoenix, even the Marco would be fine!

But what Ao Chen said was not wrong. After eating the devil fruit, the starship is not the same as before.

The artificial intelligence in its operating core combined with the devil fruit actually gave birth to a weak consciousness!

Its intelligence level has also been greatly improved!

The biggest benefit of this change is that from now on, this starship no longer needs to be driven by humans.

The self-awareness of the starship is equivalent to that of a driver.

It's just that this consciousness is still very weak now, and it can't have a conversation with them like a living being thinking independently.

But it can occasionally transmit some simple consciousness.

For example, now, the Phoenix transmitted an idea to Ao Xin in the form of an electrical signal, that it wanted to get close to the corpse-accumulating Qi Gui Cang Yan!

"Why does it want to get close to the corpse-accumulating Qi Gui Cang Yan?"

After Ao Xin told others about the Phoenix's idea, everyone was also very curious about the purpose of this starship.

But the consciousness of the starship was very weak and the expression was not clear. After a long time, it gave Ao Xin a word: "Eat"!

"He said, he wants to eat!"

"Want to eat? Eat what? The corpse-accumulating Qi Gui Cang Yan?"

Although he didn't quite understand, Ao Xin decided to satisfy the starship's wish.

Giving the order to move towards the nearest corpse-accumulating Qi Gui Cang Yan, Ao Xin immediately received a joyful emotion conveyed by the Phoenix.

The starship's automatic driving is different from when they came.

When they came, because the vision in the Ghost Star Cluster was too low and they were not familiar with this place, their travel speed was not fast.

But when the Phoenix took them back, it was moving at the maximum speed!

With the route record from the previous time, the starship's self-driving is much more efficient than their manual driving.

Jumping forward at superluminal speed, it took only a few hours to arrive in front of a place where corpses accumulate.

After arriving here, the Phoenix transformed into a beast again, opened its beak, and plunged into the corpse-like nebula outside the corpse-like ghost flame that was like a dim star.

Penetrating the nebula, the beak was inserted into the burning ghost flame.

Then, a suction force came from the inside of the Phoenix, and some mysterious energy was absorbed from the ghost flame.

This energy was converted and entered its energy furnace. The invisible energy was injected into this small star, causing its volume to expand rapidly!

"It's really eating the ghost flame!"

Ao Xin and others stayed in the cockpit and watched the picture on the light screen, while Yang Qingrui and others went to the energy furnace to observe the energy changes inside.

After a long time, Yang Qingrui sent a telepathic voice from the energy furnace and said to them:

"The compressed stellar mass in the energy furnace is expanding rapidly, but the energy entering it is not plasma, but a special energy that I cannot see through."

"It seems to be the special energy that was burned by the corpse ghost flame and absorbed into the core of the ghost star cluster."

"This energy is merging with the star and the entire sunstone furnace, and is transforming the entire energy core system!"

After a while, Yang Qingrui's surprised voice sounded again:

"The materials dismantled from the wreckage of the Protoss starship that are piled up in the warehouse are absorbed by the Phoenix again and melted into the hull!"

After the starship ate the devil fruit, it had already been upgraded once. Now, while eating the ghost blue flame, it is still upgrading!

I didn't expect that a devil fruit would bring them so many surprises.

A month later, all the materials piled up in the Phoenix warehouse had been melted into the hull.

And its energy core, the star furnace built by the sunstone, has also completed its transformation.

It has become a beating heart!

There are countless lines extending from the heart, like blood vessels, which are the energy transmission channels of the starship.

The energy in the heart is at least a hundred times more than before!

But the volume of the heart has not increased. The space formation originally arranged in the energy furnace has also been absorbed and utilized by it to expand its energy storage space.

The bird's beak was pulled out of the Ghost Cang Flame. Even though the Phoenix absorbed the energy within the Ghost Cang Flame so crazily, the entire Ghost Cang Flame only shrunk by less than one percent.
