Chapter 747: Chapter 454: The Shadow of Sages【5800 Words】_3
If the debris were made of other materials, the Blade Mantis would likely only need to keep spraying its energy exploding particle beam, and it could easily evaporate the wreckage.
Unfortunately, the Spherical Warship material is the Compound-Eyed Observers’ own technology. The semi-organic, semi-metallic shell of the ship has a strong suppressive effect on the spread of physical toxins. The beam only causes a minor explosion and does not consistently spread, like it does when it destroys a human fleet.
The Compound-Eyed Observers’ own domain has become Harrison Clark’s best natural battlefield.
Moreover, within the narrow spaces filled with debris, the “mere” three-meter-tall Harrison Clark can still utilize short-range warp abilities if he controls them accurately. However, the Blade Mantis cannot.
This seemingly unequal confrontation has become a one-sided slaughter for Harrison Clark.
He not only consistently shatters one Blade Mantis after another but also occasionally clears out Dragonfly Fighters, Eight-legged Beetles, Self-Destruction Flies, and small war beasts that can continuously spray pure physical toxins, which are presumably responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
This is the wonder of humanity’s every step against nature.
When we do not understand, those enemies from nature are like fierce floods and beasts.
But once humanity’s technological level surpasses a certain threshold, those fierce floods and beasts quickly become easily tamed and crushed once they’re defeated for the first time.
For example, the smallpox that caused terrifying disasters during the medieval times, was a nightmare-like existence.
However, the day humans discovered the wonders of cowpox, this fearsome disease—in which the cities have fallen and civilizations have withered multiple times throughout history—has become nothing but a term in historical records.
Take cancer as another example. It once caused people to blanch in fear, symbolized despair, and represented death’s slow reaping of lives. But after the comprehensive scanning technology of biological genes and targeted gene repair technology were thoroughly developed, the beneficial cancerization of human body cells became an effective treatment method to extend life and overcome congenital genetic defects.
At this moment, it’s the same with the Blade Mantis.
If you can’t beat it, you won’t be able to beat it for the rest of your life.
But once Harrison Clark defeats one in a one-on-one battle, he can keep winning.
This is just the beginning.
As Harrison Clark continues his fierce fight against the Blade Mantis, he gradually realizes one thing.
He is too perfect.
Not only is his on-the-spot judgment flawless, but his overall consideration is also perfect. Each of his steps accurately considers the entire situation.
Every detail of this small-scale war is under his control—from the movement of the Blade Mantis to the lurking approach of each Self-Destruction Fly.
Everything in this small cosmos, spanning ten thousand kilometers in diameter, is at his fingertips, even if he hasn’t laid eyes on it himself.
He can not only deduce the changes accurately, but he can also calculate them nearly a hundred percent based on his understanding of the current situation and his analysis of the battlefield.
For example, he sees through the Eight-legged Beetles hiding behind crevices, waiting to ambush him when he flies past.
It is as if Harrison Clark has a marvelous pair of “eyes” looking down at this world.
He probably understands what this state is.
His thoughts and the “wisdom of the universe” are invisibly connected, just as when he controlled the Summit Colossus to charge at the Prism Ships in the previous timeline. It’s even more so now.
This is the manifestation of the second sublimation after the state of Gene-Modified Warriors and the continuous increase of gene awakening degree combined with the brain on a deeper level.
Harrison Clark once thought he had lost the Gene-Modified Warrior state after going back since his body didn’t change and he couldn’t tell.
Now he understands.
When his body was rebuilt in the 21st century, the mysterious energy preserved some enhancements of the Gene-Modified Warriors. It was just that he hadn’t actually fought before and hadn’t reactivated them.
Now, with his awakening level at 46.66% and long hours of intense fighting on the edge of life and death, he finally reawakens all his abilities.
As countless people watched in disbelief, ten minutes passed.
Harrison Clark sliced the last Blade Mantis’ head and took a palm-sized sphere from its body.
This “small-scale” encounter was over.
Harrison Clark’s eyes were fixed in the direction of Sky Peak 917.
He knew that someone had been watching him the whole time.
He also knew that it was his own people.
Harrison Clark did two things.
He raised his right hand, and in the palm of his battle armor was the Warp Core from inside the Blade Mantis.
Then he let the core levitate in the air, and immediately shifted direction to grab another core.
He placed the two cores together, then took out an original Egyptian tribe’s Brain Core from within his Warp Armor, placed it next to the two from the Blade Mantis, and put them all inside a small directional empty-shell missile, which he fired in the direction of Sky Peak 917.
Following that, Harrison Clark went to a relatively intact Blade Mantis corpse, enveloped it within the curvature bubble of his Warp Battle Armor, accelerated, entered the supercurved motion state, and flew away into the distance.
In his battle armor’s storage compartment, there was actually a small “hair follicle.”
These “hair follicles” were the carriers that could grow space-freezing long whiskers from the inner layer of the spherical warship’s outer shell.
Harrison Clark’s figure disappeared.
He had to leave quickly.
Of course, it was not just humans who saw this scene.
There must be at least one of the Compound-Eyed Observer’s Angular Warships rushing this way.
If Harrison Clark did not reunite with Freddy as soon as possible and re-enter the medium layer, he would certainly be chased.
Far away, the Deputy Officer seemed lost and murmured to himself, “Why did he leave?”
The Old Captain thought for a moment, “Probably because he is our secret weapon. The higher-ups must have their considerations. Anyway, we have seen hope, haven’t we?”
In the conference room unknown to the Old Captain and others, the leadership of the Morrowind Empire also seemed lost.
“It seems like… the Sage has no intention of contacting us?”
“Sigh.”
“Why sigh? He succeeded! He proved one thing! The Compound-Eyed Observers want to annihilate us, fear us, all for a reason! Because we do have the ability to be feared!”
“The Sage showed us the limits of human strength! He once said that as long as humans are given time, we can definitely dominate the universe!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Yes, our continuous retreat until today made me doubt his words before, but I just didn’t dare to say it. But now, I am convinced of it.”
“He represents our upper limit, and he is also moving forward. Our progress compared to the previous timeline represents humanity’s perfect adaptability to the universe, we have the innate ability to challenge the unknown forever, and we can never stop absorbing and learning!”
“Did you see the Sage’s predictions? It’s truly incredible. From the perspective of cosmic psychology, his thinking is one level higher than the Gelasians. His ideas are connected to the wisdom of the universe. At that moment, every prediction he made was in accordance with the laws of the universe. No matter how the Compound-Eyed Observers’ combat units designed against him, they couldn’t escape his predictions.”
“Even earlier, didn’t you notice the eight Black Hole Bombs he used to block the Spherical Battleship’s warp technology? That prediction of his is especially important.”
“I know the reason. It’s that the Compound-Eyed Observers are absorbing our wisdom of war. It seems like their progress, but in fact, their thoughts are being infiltrated by our thought patterns, and they naturally fall into the Sage’s control.”
“Gasp… so that’s it! That’s just too…”
“Hahahaha, of course! If you learn from us, you have to pay the price.”
“Anyway, we have seen endless possibilities in him, so we have also seen hope, haven’t we?”
“People in that galaxy must be waiting for him, right? We still have some time, so let’s keep going.”
“One more thing, just now, our Star Fortress was discovered.”
“So what if it’s discovered? Let the people on Sky Peak 917 get the things the Sage left behind as quickly as possible and see what he wants to tell us.”
“It’s just a pity that those things can’t be brought back.”
“No problem, the Sage must have thought of this too. The important thing is not the objects, but the information!”
Harrison Clark indeed took advantage of this brief outing to share some things with humanity.
But he was just doing everything he could.
These things definitely could not return to the Morrowind Empire.
He just wanted the people in this timeline to see and guess where his and the Blade Mantis’s teleportation abilities came from, maybe inspire human thought, and see if others could find other Egyptian Tribe’s Brain Cores elsewhere.
