"The Emerald was forcefully awakened before the repairs were completed. More than 90% of its regions and functions are still dormant, and its energy is severely lacking."
Emerald said in a calm, half-dead tone, "Most of the internal defense weapons can't be activated. Even if we can activate the defense lasers in the tunnel, they still need more than an hour to cool down and recharge after each shot.
"If you can lure all the alien lifeforms that invaded the bridge into the tunnel in an hour, maybe we'll have a 50% chance of destroying it.
"Otherwise, cutting off a few tentacles won't affect its combat ability too much."
"…"
Theresa scratched her head. "Although Black Jack is bad, he's not stupid. Since he's already seen the power of the lasers, why would he run into them like an idiot? Alright, if we can't destroy him, what can we do? "
"Although the active defense measures can't be activated, the passive defense system has been restored. Now, we're protected by the energy shield and the liquid alloy. The enemy won't be able to enter for seventy-two hours."
Emerald waved her hand as she spoke.
An incredible scene unfolded in front of Theresa and Princess A Xia.
The liquid metal wall that separated the core area of the bridge from the outside gradually became transparent. It was as if there was only a thick layer of glass between them and Black Jack.
Through this layer of 'transparent metal', they could clearly see the situation outside.
Great Monarch Kuba was rescued by his subordinates, the Prison Exterminator Demons. After leaving behind the corpses and the remains of the two Prison Exterminator Cannons, he retreated to a corner outside the crimson palace.
The crimson palace was completely occupied by Black Jack and his harem. The harem was responsible for blocking Great Monarch Kuba and the Prison Exterminator Demons. Black Jack himself walked back and forth in front of the tunnel leading to the core area anxiously.
His face was twisted, and the veins all over his body were bulging. As he breathed, his pale golden tentacles moved like jellyfish, dancing a beautiful dance of destruction.
All of a sudden, Black Jack let out a low roar and threw a punch full of golden light at the passageway.
From Theresa and Princess Summer's perspective, they could only see layers of ripples appear on the 'transparent glass' and spread out in circles.
The liquid metal that was blasted away by Black Jack wriggled strangely, as if it had a life of its own and could multiply endlessly. Then, it gathered together again.
The effect of Black Jack's punch was equivalent to bombarding the sea. No matter how many tons of seawater were blasted away by him, or how many meters of waves were stirred up, everything would return to normal after a while.
"Do you see that? This is the nano-defense system in the core area of the Emerald's bridge. It was because of this system that the Flood in the past didn't completely devour us."
Emerald's voice carried a hint of pride. "This place can block the alien lifeforms for at least seventy-two hours. It's enough for us to accumulate more energy and complete the next stage of activation."
Before it could finish its sentence —
Black Jack's expression became extremely serious. Before the first wave had subsided, he threw a second punch at the position of the first one. His entire arm was inserted into the liquid metal.
"Ah!"
Black Jack's eyes turned golden in an instant, looking like a ferocious ghost.
The tentacles connected to the harem expanded by three to five times at the same time, increasing the efficiency of devouring the lives and souls of the harem.
The faces of the members of the harem group instantly turned deathly pale. They were one breath away from death.
Two of the sisters even trembled and fell crookedly to the ground.
Black Jack did not care about the lives of the women at all. Instead, he absorbed and devoured them crazily. Then, he released the lives and souls of the harem group into the liquid metal!
For half a second, Theresa and Princess Summer's eyes seemed to have been pierced by ten thousand gold needles. They could not see anything.
When the gold needles were pulled out from the depths of their pupils one after another, they could hardly believe their eyes.
The liquid metal wall, which was known to be indestructible and could be repaired at any time like the ocean, had a shocking hole that was two to three meters deep.
What was even more terrifying was that orange light was flashing in the hole, like the rotten intestines of a metal monster.
Under the extremely high temperature, the liquid metal around them lost the ability to transform and replicate. It was dripping down in the form of molten iron.
Emerald instantly stiffened.
It and the liquid metal wall that protected Theresa were squeaking at the same time, as if they were calculating how long it would take for Black Jack's appalling destructive power to break through the wall.
"Twenty-four hours."
After half a minute, it finally came to a conclusion. "Don't worry. My defense is strong enough to protect us for at least … twenty-four hours."
"Just now, you said seventy-two hours!" Theresa was about to go crazy.
"It seems that the combat ability of the alien life form is slightly beyond my calculations," Emerald said faintly.
Emerald faintly said, "However, from my analysis of the cells on the tentacles, as well as the comprehensive scan analysis of his combat form and energy fluctuations, he is still in a very weak initial stage. He is not so strong that he is invincible. As long as the 'witch gene' in your body is completely activated, we still have a chance."
"Do I really have to completely activate the Witch Gene?"
Watching Black Jack crazily devouring the lives of the members of the harem group outside and ferociously bombarding the wall, Theresa's face turned extremely ugly.
Princess Summer's feelings for her sisters were a hundred times deeper than Theresa's. Seeing that her sisters were suffering so much and would be sucked into skeletons by Black Jack if she did not stop him, she was even more anxious. She held Theresa's hands tightly. Her palms were sweaty and hot and cold.
"I have to figure out one thing first —" Theresa was hesitant.
"Right now, I'm a carrier of the Witch Gene, and I'm already in this state. If the Witch Gene in my body is completely activated, what will I become? If my breasts and buttocks are ten times bigger, will I be able to charm all the men in the universe and … dehydrate them to death? "
"No, the full release of the Witch Gene will mainly carry out a deep transformation at the cellular level, including the comprehensive strengthening of your nerves, brain, and body. In terms of appearance, there won't be much change. It will only completely fix your current form," Emerald said.
"That's good."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Theresa was slightly relieved, but the second half made her widen her beautiful eyes again. "What do you mean? Completely fix me and never change back?"
"It's not 'forever.' It's just that under the current conditions, it's very difficult to change back. You should know that the Witch Gene in your body is still in a semi-dormant state. It can still be separated from your own genes and extracted. But once it's completely activated, the Witch Gene will be completely integrated into your genetic chain and form a seamless whole. Unless you have the highest level of genetic technology, or you've cultivated to an extraordinary realm where you can change the shape of your cells at will, it's impossible to separate it. Forcibly separating it is very dangerous."
Emerald saw Theresa's concerns and said considerately, "Of course, if the Emerald can be repaired to a 100% perfect state, the corresponding facilities on the ship can perform the highest level of transformation surgery to change you back to your original appearance."
"Then, how long and under what conditions will it take for the Emerald to be 100% repaired?" Theresa asked again.
"… The conditions are not enough, so it can't be calculated. Judging from the repair progress of the past 10,000 years, it won't take too long. With sufficient resources and manpower, it will take about three to five thousand years," Emerald said.
