While everyone was talking about the stone orb, a slender middle-aged man walked over. He was wearing a black robe with gold embroidery. He looked like a priest in a church, but he also looked like an old gentleman. His gestures were full of etiquette and elegance.
Seeing this middle-aged man appear, everyone was shocked and quickly said: "Chairman."
Black Slody nodded slightly. His eyes jumped over everyone and looked at the stone orb in the huge energy shield in front of the high platform. He was startled for a moment and frowned: "This is the demon?"
Everyone looked at each other and no one answered.
At this time, the red-haired woman in the cockpit jumped down and landed below the high platform. She bowed her head and said: "Reporting to the chairman, this is the demon you want us to arrest. He is very fierce and has killed many of our companions in a row. He has shown extraordinary abilities in hand-to-hand combat. I suspect that he has two different magic mark abilities. Fortunately, the AI had already arranged a plan for us to ambush him. He was successfully fooled and snatched a Genesis God Mech. The AI detonated the mech and seriously injured him."
When Black Slody heard the words "AI", his eyelids slightly twitched, but no one noticed. After the red-haired woman finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Then why is he a stone now?"
Alicia whispered: "Although he looks like a stone, this should be caused by his magic mark ability. I speculate that he should have activated this ability at the moment when the Genesis God Mech exploded. His whole body petrified and increased his defense to the maximum. However, the power of the Genesis God Mech's explosion is no less than a nuclear weapon. Although he barely survived, he should have fainted at the moment. His mind is not clear, but his body is instinctively maintaining magic power. When he wakes up, he should return to his human appearance."
Hearing her words, Black Slody nodded slightly to show that he understood. The other higher-ups behind him had a look of realization. They thought that this demon that Black Slody paid attention to was originally a stone, which was why he was so special.
"Chairman, can you give this monster to me?" An old man wearing thick glasses asked with a hint of respect and fanaticism. He was not tall and had a hunchback, so he looked even shorter in the crowd. However, when the people around him heard his words, they looked at him with some fear.
"Chairman, Alisa said that this monster may have two kinds of magic marks. If it's true, then once I study the secrets of his body, the combat power of the demons we produce will be greatly increased. This is an excellent experimental material. I hope Chairman can give it to us!" Another old man in a white robe said. He was skinny, and only the whites of one of his eyes remained, making him look somewhat frightening.
When the other upper echelons heard the two of them snatching the Demon Clan, they all revealed mocking smiles as if they were watching a show. Among them, there were a few people who revealed undetectable sneers, as if they were mocking them for overestimating themselves.
When Alicia heard the old man say the word "give birth", her fingers curled slightly, but she quickly loosened them. However, a hint of anger and killing intent flashed through her eyes.
"Stop arguing." Black Slody frowned slightly, interrupting the two of them. He said, "This Demon Clan is to be handed over to the higher-ups. It's not something you can touch."
"The higher-ups?" The crowd was stunned when they heard Black Slody's words. Then, their expressions changed.
Black Slody was the chairman of the Terras Financial Group! Even the other directors of the financial group with high statuses would have to nod in approval in front of him, and he also had the right to fire the other directors!
As the person with the highest status in the Terras Financial Group, it could be said that even the chairman of the Federation would have to greet him when they met. After all, the ordinary citizens might not know, but they knew that most of the previous chairmen of the Federation had been supported by the Terras Financial Group. They had people in the military and other departments. As long as Black Slody was willing, he could even "dismiss" a chairman!
In the entire Federation, the ones who truly held the lifeline and power were the four large financial groups!
And the Terras Financial Group was the most powerful financial group among the four large financial groups. There was probably only one person that Black Slody referred to as "the higher-ups".
Thinking of the existence of that person, the crowd fell silent. They looked at each other, and no one spoke again.
The two old men who had already thought of a way to argue shut their mouths in embarrassment. They looked at each other, feeling very awkward.
"Let's do a test on him first. Don't let him die of weakness," Black Slody instructed. Rudy ordered, "Everyone else, disperse. Don't tell anyone about this matter, lest it causes unnecessary negative effects."
"Yes, chairman."
The crowd responded. Some left, some went to find a technician to test the stone orb in the energy barrier, while the rest waited where they were. This level was where they worked, and it was clear that they could not leave Black Slody behind to attend to the matters at hand.
Soon, the test report of the stone orb was out.
Terras' equipment could completely analyze the stone orb through the energy barrier. It could even detect the blood type. There was no need to draw blood for testing, and the data obtained would not be wrong.
"Chairman, this stone orb is indeed that Demon. He still has a weak life force. Look at his body, his heart is still beating weakly." A bespectacled middle-aged man passed a set of pictures to Black Slody.
Black Slody casually flipped through the pictures. They were pictures of the interior of the stone orb. He could see the outlines of flesh and bones within the stone orb, as well as organs such as a skull and intestines. The most eye-catching thing was a golden heart.
Seeing this strange scene, Black Slody frowned slightly. He felt a little uncomfortable. The interior of the stone orb looked like a ball of minced meat mixed with bones and organs. It was as if it was stuffed with minced corpses.
"It's good that he's not dead." He returned the pictures to the middle-aged man and asked, "Is his life in danger? Does he need treatment?"
"This." The middle-aged man felt a little awkward. This was the first time he had seen such a youth, and he could not be sure. However, since the chairman had asked, he did not dare to answer directly. After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "Chairman, if you want him to live, you still need to treat him."
Black Slody said, "Then treat him. Also, wake him up as soon as possible."
"Yes, chairman," the middle-aged man said.
…
…
In the cold darkness, in a trance, Dean felt a faint warmth spreading throughout his body.
Surrounded by this warmth, he felt his consciousness become a little clearer. He was no longer in a trance, and he was no longer stimulated by the intense pain. He opened his eyes and saw an almost transparent energy shield. Outside the energy shield was a huge room, and there were many people walking in the room. From the way they were dressed, they looked like researchers. Some of them were pointing in his direction and saying something, and the assistants beside them were recording what they were saying in a notebook.
Dean was startled.
The next moment, the memories flowed back like a tide.
The explosion, the countdown, the heat wave, the mecha, the alloy belt, the blue sky, the square energy matrix …
All the pictures suddenly shrank back to his brain. He could not help but shiver. He took a deep breath and looked down at his body. But as he looked down, he found that his appearance was a bit strange. It was a round stone orb.
The memory fragments flashed. The moment the explosion spread out, he stimulated the magic marks of the tortoise and petrified his whole body! In addition to the basic petrification, he shrunk his body into the shape of a ball. So he turned into a stone orb.
Because the spherical shape was the best way to remove the force.
"I'm not dead. I'm still alive?" Dean was relieved, but then his mood became gloomy again. He was caught after all. He did not know what the other party wanted to do with him, but it was definitely not just to kill the Demon Race.
At this time, Dean saw that several researchers seemed to have noticed his situation and exclaimed. Then more people turned to look at him. For a moment, he felt like an orangutan in the zoo, and a special orangutan, so he was surrounded by exclamations.
Since he was noticed, Dean did not continue to pretend to sleep. He slowly stretched his body and returned to his human appearance. This time, he felt that part of his body's potential was stimulated. When he broke free from the alloy belt, he used the ability of the Sun Beast to melt his whole body. This ability was not simply the ability of the Sun Beast, but more like the ability of the Extreme Ice Worm!
The Extreme Ice Worm would not die even if it was cut into countless pieces. As long as it was given time, it would attract and reunite with each other and restore its whole body again. The moment he rushed out of the mecha, he also had this ability!
He felt that he could control all parts of his body, every organ, and even every cell!
This feeling was very magical. It should be known that ordinary people had very poor control of their own body. For example, it was difficult to make the eyeballs rotate in two different directions. Most people could not even control their ears, let alone control their stomach wriggling, intestines twisting, heart beating, lungs breathing, and so on.
Dean slowly got up and felt his body. Then he slowly walked to the front of the energy shield. He raised his hand, and his arm gradually turned into a dark sharp blade. But it was only the limited demonization of his arm. He slashed at the energy shield.
Bang!
The sharp blade pierced through the energy shield, but there was another energy shield outside. When it pierced the second layer of the energy shield, it was stopped.
The next moment, the energy shield that was pierced quickly healed.
Dean quickly retracted his sharp blade arm. When it retracted to the tip of the blade, he deliberately paused for a moment. The healed energy shield was like a laser, cutting off the fingernail-sized blade.
"Sure enough, during the battle and the time when I was in a coma, my body was examined in detail. I could barely pierce through one layer of this energy shield. There are six grooves underground. If I want to pierce through six layers of energy shields, I don't know if I can condense the strongest Sun Beast Ray. But there isn't such strong light here to borrow..." Dean's eyes flashed slightly. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the energy shield.
Obviously, it was not possible to escape from here.
Moreover, since the enemy had captured him, they should not be slowly raising him. Otherwise, they would not suddenly summon him.
"What is the purpose of capturing me?" Dean frowned. He could not figure it out. Suddenly, he felt that he should not be thinking without a clue. The enemy knew his identity as a Demon. This was the root of the problem.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to comb through the matter from the moment he killed Su Ming and stole his mecha to sneak into the Federation.
While Dean was thinking, the staff outside the energy shield called Jacelodi and reported to him.
Jacelodi looked at Dean who was sitting cross-legged in the energy shield. It was indeed the same as in the previous photo. He nodded and ordered everyone to leave. No one was allowed to enter without his permission.
Soon, all the staff left.
"You also leave." Jacelodi said to the guards.
