Chapter 260: Chapter 252: The Unfathomable Sovereign!
Ever since that day when Gerson witnessed those inconceivable methods used by certain individuals, he has been in such a state.
Ordinary people might not think too much about it.
After all, the endless variability of Spiritual Energy is commonly accepted. Those seemingly straightforward qualities, together with the Spiritual Ability Talents built on the foundation of Spiritual Energy, each possesses endless variations behind them.
Every Kingdom, every power, is eager to conduct research.
And countless results have emerged.
In such circumstances, even if some previously unseen phenomena appear, it’s nothing to be surprised about, one might simply assume it’s some sort of secret ace up the sleeve of Human Civilization that’s been researched.
But true researchers think differently.
With sufficient data, the performance of human warriors is like opening up an entirely different rationale.
Without Spiritual Ability Talent, without equipment, they can still show the variations of Spiritual Energy!
The more Gerson researched these past few days, the more obsessed he became.
If he could achieve something significant, then let alone the remnants of the Life Empire, he could choose from any of the other four largest powers!
His life would change drastically!
The impulse to research and immense benefits combined are enough to make him stop at nothing!
In fact, some people were indeed preparing to take action.
Perhaps they lacked the strength to confront Human Civilization, but capturing just one person was not impossible.
However, before they could act, Thorne and others had already arrived first.
The Magic Halo brought by Teleportation Magic was not easily concealed, especially in a research institute filled with various high-precision sensing devices.
Thus, the moment Thorne and the others burst into the institute, they were detected.
The piercing alarm rang out on every researcher’s personal terminal.
“Someone’s invaded?” Gerson was startled, but soon, he was captivated by the various data detected.
He took in a deep breath.
The data was entirely different from before but equally special, equally profound!
Even, the special ability detected now couldn’t be called “Spiritual Energy” at all!
“It’s them, it’s them!” Gerson’s excitement at this moment was beyond description!
He recognized once more that the technology mastered by this so-called Human Civilization was still far beyond his previous expectations!
And now, this technology, this power, was delivered right in front of him!
“Release all experimental subjects!” Gerson bellowed, “Stable or not, let them all out!”
Compared to the priceless experiment subjects of the past, these intruders in the lab were insignificant!
But his speed was fast, Thorne and his companions were faster!
In just a short minute after entering, they utilized the powerful detection capabilities of a team member, alongside detection equipment, to scope out the entire layout of the lab and all enemies at a glance.
“There are some extremely powerful and chaotic entities.” The teammate responsible for detection spoke up again, marking all detected entities on the map.
“What’s their strength?”
“Aside from chaos, there’s no sense of danger.”
“Then let’s spread out, we can’t let anyone escape!” Thorne made a swift decision.
For Thorne, the mission was absolute, any power beneficial to the mission was worth employing.
So, he never considered telling his teammates not to use the “President’s Gifted Power”. After dispersing, the power sealed within each of Shen Hao’s direct subordinates would undoubtedly become their greatest trump card.
If the situation went south, they could always invoke “Emperor’s Gift”!
Having made the decision, everyone immediately split up and surged towards their respective targets.
Gerson was thrilled to monitor this development.
“Capture them alive, they must be captured alive!”
Clearly, a living test subject was far more valuable than a dead one.
At the same time, Thorne encountered his first opponent.
It was a completely mutated creature that couldn’t be distinguished as a material being or a Dimensional Creature. It looked like a mass of intertwined tentacles or a bundle of writhing earthworms and snakes.
For an ordinary person, just this scene alone would certainly cause the scalp to tingle.
And Thorne felt something else.
The Emperor’s Seal on the back of his hand was emitting a faint glow, constantly dispelling the feelings of disgust and discomfort from his mind.
“Erosion by a higher status!” Thorne naturally understood what it was.
The information about this Trial hadn’t been fully disclosed, but as Shen Hao’s direct subordinates, they all had received relevant intelligence.
A key point was the Ancient God Power’s erosion of life.
Clearly, these creatures were likely to have been eroded.
And it was even possible that they were Spiritual Ability Users.
“Truly seeking death.” Thorne’s expression was sharp, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Having seen the intelligence data, he knew how terrifying this type of erosion could be.
The entire Life Empire had dissolved under this erosion.
In such circumstances, to dare research this power…
He didn’t believe that a mere laboratory could have the capability to prevent Ancient Gods from surviving the erosion. It was more likely that they had already fallen into madness without realizing it.
Furthermore, this erosion might have already spread within the Yodora Kingdom.
If it were true, it meant that the Yodora Kingdom was effectively on a countdown to its final days!
“I must report the intelligence quickly!” Thorne’s hand brandished a dagger, slicing through the monster in front of him in an instant.
