On an uninhabited island near the Pacific Ocean in the Bering Strait.
The island was a typical reef island. The entire island was not large, but it was covered with strange rocks. There were not many plants or animals on it. It was completely desolate.
However, just near the south of the island, on a coast full of reefs, a bright red thing was slowly wriggling there.
It seemed to be an animal.
However, if one gradually approached it, they would find that this monster was astonishingly large. It was more than fifty meters tall and one or two hundred meters long. From a distance, it looked like a huge slug without a fixed body.
The slug's body was densely covered with countless human hands and feet. These hands and feet swayed instinctively with the squirming of the slug's body like flagella. It was enough to make one's hair stand on end at close range...
At this time, this "slug" was quietly looking at the endless sea, its anthropomorphic face showed a thoughtful expression.
"The psionic power has weakened."
Chen Chen looked into the distance with an indifferent expression. "Five thousand people is still too few. It's not enough to restore my former strength at all, but fortunately, the power of the Field energy hasn't weakened."
With that, Chen Chen suddenly raised his upper body like a slug curling up its body and lifted half of his chest. Then, his chest slowly split open into a huge gash.
"Hum..."
With a low, hoarse roar, the sea in front of Chen Chen automatically boiled. At the same time, all the fish and shrimps rose from the bottom of the sea and fell into Chen Chen's opened crack.
"Boom!"
As a large number of fish and shrimps fell into Chen Chen's mouth, the crack in his chest and abdomen quickly closed, and then there was a gurgling sound of swallowing.
Chen Chen silently felt the squirming of the fish and shrimps in his body, then quickly melted by the gastric juice secreted by him.
Then, it was swallowing again, and the cycle repeated...
It was not until the small fish and shrimps in the nearby sea were completely swallowed that Chen Chen felt the newborn weakness gradually fade. At the same time, a special light came from the depths of his body.
"Hmm, this feeling is... Transformation?"
Chen Chen felt a special throbbing in his body as if he needed a good sleep. At the same time, his instinct told him that as long as he followed the next actions, his body could undergo rapid transformation.
Just as Chen Chen was silently feeling the throbbing in his body, he suddenly saw a warship slowly approaching in the distance.
It was a medium-sized warship with a length of no more than eighty meters, not even half the size of Chen Chen's warship. After it entered Chen Chen's line of sight, the warship paused slightly, then seemed to reluctantly sail in the direction of the island.
At this moment, hundreds of people ran to the side of the ship, looking at the huge creature in the distance with shock and fear in their eyes. For a moment, they cried out in alarm.
"Look, what kind of monster is that?"
"What's on that guy's body? Are they human limbs?"
"What a disgusting monster …"
Not only the crew of the battleship, but even the captain of the ship also felt cold when he saw the monster in the distance.
"What, what the hell is that thing …"
Captain Freud murmured in a low voice. He opened his mouth, wanting to disobey the order to stop moving forward, but at this time, there were two Black Knights standing quietly on both sides of him, watching his every move.
The higher-ups of Blacklight City had issued a death order, ordering him to dock on this island, regardless of life or death.
Under the frightened gazes of hundreds of crew members, the warship had completely come to a position one kilometer away from the island, but it also stopped completely. The island was surrounded by reef areas. If the warship continued to move forward, it was likely to run into the reef or even run aground.
Then, lifeboats carrying all kinds of supplies sailed toward the island and transported the supplies carried by the entire ship to the monster.
"Sir Commander."
A Black Knight jumped down from the lifeboat and at the same time, a woman's voice came from her mouth. "We've already detected the news. The expeditionary fleet has been completely wiped out. Thirty-three ships were damaged and more than 8,000 people were killed or injured. However, the Consciousness Stealer has also returned to the bottom of the sea to sleep."
"What about the reality anchor?"
Chen Chen opened his mouth and made a low, sticky sound.
"We only had time to transport the zircon back with a drone."
X-112 replied, "As for the other equipment, it has been silenced along with the aircraft carrier."
"We still didn't manage to escape..."
Chen Chen nodded and said helplessly, "Forget it, as long as the zircon isn't lost, it's not a failure. It's just that at present, it seems that the task of eliminating the Consciousness Stealer has to be put on hold for the time being. When Blacklight Biotechnology has the ability to seal the entire planet, we can continue to confront it."
"Yes."
X-112 lowered her head slightly.
"My current image isn't suitable to be made public for the time being."
Chen Chen continued to instruct, "You put down these supplies and let the warship leave. The people on the ship will have their memories erased and the zircon will be transported back to the other side of the time machine. That's it."
X-112 nodded. She left a few Black Knights on the island to contact Chen Chen and then ordered the warship to return the way it came.
Seeing this, Chen Chen slowly turned around and devoured all the supplies carried down from the warship.
After doing all this, Chen Chen let his bloated body return to the depths of the island, made a hole in a mountain, and burrowed in.
This was the method that the instincts of this body told him to do.
Then, Chen Chen curled up into a ball in the cave and at the same time, his body began to secrete lumps of mucus filled with the smell of blood. These mucus slowly dried and gradually turned into layers of hard cocoons, wrapping Chen Chen's body in layers.
"It seems to take a long time."
Curled up in the cocoon, Chen Chen could feel his body beginning to change little by little. He gradually had a kind of understanding that when he broke out of the shell next time, perhaps his entire body would undergo a transformation.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness, so he closed his eyes slightly and began to fall into a long sleep.
...
When Chen Chen opened his eyes again, he still returned to reality.
"I didn't expect that I would still lose despite being so well prepared."
As soon as Chen Chen sat up, he frowned slightly.
"Did we lose after all?"
Little X, who was guarding on the side, raised her head when she heard these words, showing a stunned expression. "When I saw the zirconium being transported back, I knew that the operation had probably failed, but I didn't expect that even the nano bombs couldn't deal with the opponent?"
Chen Chen chuckled. "Forget about the nano bombs, I only had time to turn on the reality anchor before I was killed by the opponent..."
Chen Chen's original plan was to first use the reality anchor to seal the psionic powers of the Consciousness Stealer, then fire and launch the nano bombs, letting the nano bombs completely engulf the opponent.
In the face of those miniature robots that were only nanometers in size, even Chen Chen might die under the endless sea of insects unless he used Field energy.
It was just that he did not expect that he would lose everything before he could even use the nano bombs.
"One reality anchor isn't enough at all."
Chen Chen added again. "If you want to seal the Consciousness Stealer, I'm afraid you'll have to use more than 20 reality anchors to lock the entire planet like in the dimension of Doom."
"What about your avatar?"
Little X looked worried. "You didn't lose your avatar, did you? That would be a pity! "
"I've been reborn."
Chen Chen shook his head. "Fortunately, I had a backup plan, so I could resurrect on 5,000 felons. My avatar doesn't die, which is the only good news."
With that, Chen Chen turned to look at Little X. "Next, the plan to eliminate the Consciousness Stealer will be put on hold for the time being, but the research on the reality anchor will continue. When we can mass-produce element 126, that's when we attack again."
"Understood!"
Little X clapped her hands and said eagerly, "Although the synthesis of element 126 is difficult, we have plenty of time. Sooner or later, we can reach the level of mass-producing element 126. Sitting in the reality dimension, we've long been in an invincible position!"
A few days later, Chen Chen readjusted his state and came to the zircon that had been transported back.
Now that the plan to eliminate the Consciousness Stealer had failed, this huge zircon had temporarily lost its function, so Chen Chen came up with a new idea.
Several androids placed the zircon in front of a machine tool, and then a cutter head half the height of a person suddenly dropped from above the machine tool. The cutter head rotated at high speed, approaching the zircon bit by bit.
Then, as bursts of water gushed out, the cutter head also thoroughly cut on the zircon.
After cutting it more than a dozen times, soon, the entire basin-sized zircon was cut into thirty fist-sized crystal pieces of equal volume.
Then, an android came over pushing a cylindrical metal column about three meters high and half a meter in diameter.
The metal column was shaped like an hourglass, wide at the top and bottom and narrow in the middle. At the same time, the bottom of the metal column was sharp and there were three robotic arms supporting it, so that it could stand upright on the ground.
Then, another robot stuffed one of the cut zirconia into the center of the metal column. Suddenly, the entire zirconia was stuffed in seamlessly.
Obviously, this was a reality anchor made with a high-offset armor shell and reduced in proportion.
"Begin testing!"
"Ready to activate..."
"Three, two, one!"
As a cold metal sound came from the broadcast, suddenly there was a "click". On a position on the side of the metal column, a shield popped out, revealing a row of numeric keypads at the bottom.
As an android stepped forward and pressed the password on the metal column, there was a "boom" and the entire metal column was pressed down violently, completely inserted into the floor, and fixed itself in place!
At the same time, an invisible wave spread around and Chen Chen only felt the air around him condense.
His psionic energy was suppressed again!
"Very good, the intensity of the suppression hasn't been reduced."
Chen Chen silently felt the astringency in the air and then said, "Next is to test the suppression distance."
With that, Chen Chen teleported back to the ground again and began to measure the suppression area of this reality anchor according to the previous method. This time, he only flew 50 kilometers before he felt the suppression force disappear abruptly.
"Only 50 kilometers left?"
Chen Chen frowned and returned again.
"A suppression radius of 50 kilometers."
After Chen Chen returned, he reported this data. "In other words, after the zirconium is divided, the psionic suppression area is less than 8,000 square kilometers, less than one-thousandth of the previous one."
"A whole piece of zirconium can block 7 million square kilometers, but divided into 30 pieces, each piece can only block less than 10,000 square kilometers?"
Little X on the side suddenly said regretfully, "It's not cost-effective. It seems that the sealing area is decreasing exponentially, which means that a small reality anchor can only seal an area the size of an international city, so that everyone in this area can't use psionic energy."
"The smaller the zirconium is divided, the weaker the radiation ability, and vice versa."
Chen Chen waved his hand and said indifferently, "Forget it, it's enough anyway. Isn't the reason why we split it up to suppress those civilian psionicists? Thirty small reality anchors are at least much more useful than one large stabilization anchor. In fact, I still want to continue to select a few more zirconium to be broken up and broken down into ultra-small reality anchors that can be carried around. "
"That's also a good choice."
Little X's eyes lit up when she heard this. "In this way, the reality anchor will change from a strategic weapon to a tactical weapon, and its flexibility and mobility will be greatly enhanced!"
So, next, Little X continued to disassemble the zirconium, breaking ten of the fist-sized zirconium into long strips the thickness of a finger. In this way, the created reality anchor would also be reduced in proportion, eventually becoming only half a meter high, 20 centimeters long, and weighing less than 15 kilograms.
As for the suppression distance, it was naturally further reduced, reduced to a five-kilometer radius and a suppression area of 80 square kilometers.
This ultra-small reality anchor would also become one of the trump cards of the Black Knights and the B.S.S. rapid response force against psionicists.
At the same time, the Hadron Collider in the Spire Experimental Base on the other side also began to work in full swing, beginning to study element 126 on the periodic table.
While Chen Chen began to set up reality, the psionicists who had obtained superpowers were also silently changing the pattern of the real world.
On October 1, 2029, Blacklight Biotechnology suddenly announced a piece of news that shocked the world — due to the previous fusion virus disaster, superpower users began to appear among humans, and these superpower users were all survivors who had been infected with the fusion virus!
Blacklight Biotechnology was the first force in the Earth Federation to admit the existence of superpowers. With the announcement of this news, the rumors that were constantly spreading on the Internet were completely confirmed, shocking countless people.
At first, many people were reluctant to believe the news announced by Blacklight Biotechnology. After all, Blacklight Biotechnology was just a company, not an authoritative government agency, but then, due to the pressure of society, the Earth Federation and all continents had to admit the authenticity of this news.
Suddenly, the news of the emergence of superpowers in human society was completely confirmed. Countless people were either sad or happy, or fell into fanaticism...
However, no matter what the attitudes of these people were, they could not change the fact that human society was slipping into a new era.
