"So this is what you made? This is the sphere? "
Xiao Ran asked Kiliam as he looked at the small multi-faceted sphere in front of him that was suspended in the middle of a large space.
"Yes, it's a linked teleportation stabilizer that directly connects to Sophia's world and ensures that you'll be able to link time on both sides while in the quantum assimilation state. You'll be able to move in the other world while maintaining the time in this world. However, this is only limited to you being in the quantum assimilation state. Once the state is removed, you'll either be stuck in the gap of time forever, or you'll be directly given time on the other side. When that happens, you won't be able to teleport back anymore."
"It'll be activated after you enter. The space outside the sphere is filled with special energy to support the teleportation, so there's no need to build a teleportation device on the other side to achieve the goal of two-way teleportation. According to our calculations, you'll have a maximum of 10 minutes to settle everything on the other side. 10 minutes should be enough for you, but once the time is up, you'll have no choice but to directly return to Prometheus. After all, it's more difficult to create a teleportation gate."
"Stability and safety?"
"No problem," Kiliam replied. "Although it hasn't been tested in detail, the technology used is already very mature. As long as you use the quantum assimilation state, there's no need to worry about accidents. After all, the one in the other world is only a clone of yours."
"Then let's begin. This mission has already been delayed for too long." Xiao Ran waved his hand and walked into the long tunnel. He entered the multi-faceted sphere that could accommodate two people at most.
Kiliam didn't follow Xiao Ran here, nor did he want to replace Xiao Ran in this mission. After all, Xiao Ran's special ability was irreplaceable. Even if Kiliam had the ability to travel through worlds, he couldn't use the quantum assimilation state to keep moving in the other world like Xiao Ran could.
Through the control panel, Kiliam spoke to Xiao Ran who had already entered the teleportation device. "Then we'll begin now. From now on, it will take 10 minutes to recharge. You can enter the quantum assimilation state ahead of time."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and the light in his eyes instantly surged. His hair stood up and gradually turned into light particles. Then, he closed his eyes and took a nap. He sat quietly on the chair that was specially set up in the teleportation device.
Ten minutes passed quickly. Now, the outside of the multi-faceted spherical teleportation device was completely surrounded by a layer of dense energy. However, the outer shell of the teleportation device was very good at isolating the energy that was enough to melt a human body. The denser the energy, the more violent it would be. However, under the control of the Binding Field, the dense energy began to flow layer by layer.
"The preparations are complete. We can begin now."
Xiao Ran opened his eyes and instantly transformed into a figure made of green light. A voice rang in Kiliam's ears, "Begin."
When Kiliam pressed the button that represented the activation of the teleportation device, the large amount of energy on the outside began to surge towards the teleportation device. A second later, a bright light burst out from the inside of the device and a passage opened up in front of Sheyan's eyes. The space around the device was completely distorted and blurred, making it impossible to see clearly.
In Xiao Ran's' eyes', he had also entered a long passage in an instant. Compared to the [Fold Jump], this passage was much more dazzling. Streaks of colorful light flashed past his eyes and disappeared behind him. Upon closer inspection, it looked like he had directly entered the microscopic world. This allowed Xiao Ran to see a completely different scene from the real world. He saw some things that he had never seen before. A feeling that could only be understood and indescribable spontaneously rose in his heart. This also allowed Xiao Ran to have a better understanding of his future path. Through the special ability of quantum assimilation, Xiao Ran even felt as if he was in the middle of it, instead of just passing through it.
"Space, time …"
However, this feeling did not last long for Xiao Ran. The scene before his eyes suddenly changed. Xiao Ran felt that he had rushed out of the special passage and saw a completely new scene.
A little girl was trapped in various equipment, acting as a guinea pig for experiments. Around the little girl, there were several people in white coats with cold expressions. Every one of them maintained a fixed posture. The air, light, everything was frozen.
Xiao Ran had experienced time freeze before, so he was not the least bit curious when he saw this scene. Looking at the little girl in front of him, Xiao Ran stepped towards her.
But as soon as he took a step, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly widened a little. A rare expression of astonishment appeared on his face under the state of quantum assimilation.
When Xiao Ran took that step just now, he clearly felt a terrible resistance pressing down on him. That might be the power of time, but this was not the reason for Xiao Ran's astonishment. What really shocked Xiao Ran was that when he took that step, he actually felt that a large part of his mental power was consumed. Just standing in this world for every second was constantly consuming his huge mental power, and it was being consumed extremely quickly.
"One minute? Ten steps? " Such a thought suddenly emerged in Xiao Ran's mind. If he continued for one minute or took ten steps, he would be completely overdrawn by this terrifying consumption. Of course, in the case of overdrawing, Xiao Ran could still mobilize the huge energy of the quantum domain as support, but the more he used, the more terrible the consequences would be after removing the quantum assimilation.
"I can't waste any more time." Xiao Ran raised both of his hands, his eyes shining brightly. A blue light appeared and enveloped Xiao Ran's body first to reduce the pressure brought by the world. He even used psychokinesis to forcibly strip away everything that was binding the little girl, dragging her quickly back to the passage.
In such a short period of time, with such a simple action of moving himself and the little girl across worlds, the part of Xiao Ran's mental power that belonged to him was completely depleted, and he entered a state of overdraft. It was even more frightening than fighting against ten S-rank pilots at the same time.
Bringing the little girl back to the original world, Xiao Ran reached out and pressed the button to close the teleportation device. Within a few seconds, the energy enveloping the device's outer layer began to gradually dissipate, and the distorted space also returned to normal. Several medical personnel pushed the cart and rushed to the teleportation device, taking Sophia's body from Xiao Ran's hands. They then returned while checking and maintaining Sophia's vital signs.
Kiliam also came to Xiao Ran's side at this time. Looking at Xiao Ran's unwavering gaze, his heart trembled. It was because Xiao Ran was now permeating with a cold aura from head to toe. It was not the coldness of the normal state of quantum assimilation, but more like the loneliness of emptiness.
"I'll leave the rest to you. Now take me to rest. Help me call Sherry Dew and the others over."
Kiliam instantly understood. Xiao Ran's exhaustion had reached the point of overdraft. Now, Xiao Ran's mastery of quantum assimilation was much higher than before, but as the exhaustion increased, it became harder for Xiao Ran to completely maintain his own emotions in that mysterious quantum realm because the spirit that represented Xiao Ran's self had been completely depleted.
"Come with me."
Kiliam did not waste any time. He hurriedly brought Xiao Ran to a clean room. Seeing Xiao Ran calmly and indifferently take off his shoes and clothes and lie down on the bed, he once again felt that Xiao Ran's exhaustion this time was more serious than before. This was because in such a situation, his first reaction when he saw the bed was not to directly climb onto it to remove the quantum assimilation, but to very rationally take off his clothes as if it had nothing to do with him. Although this was not wrong, it was not in line with the current situation. This situation was very wrong.
Xiao Ran did not say much. After lying down on the bed, he immediately removed the quantum assimilation and fell into darkness.
Kiliam felt a headache coming on, but he did not feel any regret because of Xiao Ran's situation. Even if it was Xiao Ran himself, it was impossible for him to feel any regret. A recoverable sequela and an open path for the legion's future, anyone would know what to choose. Even Kiliam would make the same choice.
A few hours later, Sherry Dew led the Valkyrie and the others into the room where Xiao Ran was sleeping. Seeing Xiao Ran's sweaty and twitching appearance, she sighed softly and walked up to him with concern. She held Xiao Ran's hand and softly sang a song.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ran slowly opened his eyes from the darkness. He felt a sense of emptiness in his brain, accompanied by waves of unbearable stabbing pain. His entire body felt extremely weak and powerless. His perception had dropped to the lowest level. Perhaps, it could not even reach the normal perception level of an ordinary person. There was a kind of hazy feeling before his eyes.
A joyful and distressed voice suddenly sounded in his ears. "You're awake?"
"Yeah." Making a sound with his throat, Xiao Ran slowly turned his head towards the direction of the voice and forced a smile. "You've been watching over me all this time?"
"Don't move." Sherry Dew slowly straightened Xiao Ran's head and held Xiao Ran's hand. With a gentle voice, she said, "It's not just me. Mary, and that Tessa have all been taking turns to take care of you. How do you feel now?"
Xiao Ran took two deep breaths and could only reply in a soft voice, "Very bad. It's as if I've lost all my power. Even the core of the solar furnace has been drained."
"I've heard about it from Kiliam. Next time, don't force yourself like this. If something happens to such a large legion, what will happen to the legion? What will we do?"
"Yeah," Xiao Ran closed his eyes to make himself feel better, then asked in a daze, "How long have I been asleep?"
"A week. Aiya, you should rest well. Don't think too much about it. We've already confirmed the territory, and Renard has also received a notification."
The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth unconsciously twitched. Sherry Dew had been paying attention to Xiao Ran, so of course she also saw the twitching of the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth. She pursed her lips into a smile, patted Xiao Ran's hand and said, "You didn't waste your efforts. After all, you still managed to save her. That girl named Sophia was actually quite touched when she found out that you were unconscious for so long. Although she didn't say anything, she also expressed her intention to join the technical department. Speaking of which, it wasn't a loss."
The twitching of the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth suddenly relaxed, and his mood seemed to have improved a lot. Since Sophia was willing to join the technical department, then the suffering he suffered now was completely worth it. Sophia's abilities were definitely very comprehensive. After all, she was the superior existence of all the whisperers. Even though many of the technologies Sophia had mastered were limited to the relatively preliminary stage due to the restrictions of the world itself, in terms of comprehensiveness and particularity, no one could surpass Sophia except for technical experts like Law. Not to mention, only Sophia could carry out the research and construction of a world.
Although his mood was better, Xiao Ran still felt a little stuffy and dizzy. After taking two deep breaths, he said, "Since you've got it, then hurry up and clean it up and go back."
"Yeah."
After chatting with Sherry Dew for a while, Xiao Ran fell asleep again before the others came to take over Sherry Dew's shift. When Sherry Dew saw that Xiao Ran had fallen asleep, she held Xiao Ran's hand and started singing softly again.
Sherry Dew didn't tell Xiao Ran that Xiao Ran's state of unconsciousness this time was worse than any of the previous times. It was Sherry Dew and the entire Valkyrie team who took turns singing. With the help of the mental conduction ability of the fold crystal, Xiao Ran was able to quickly recover from the flames that swayed like a storm to a relatively good state. The consumption this time was far greater than what Xiao Ran had thought before.
Basically, Xiao Ran had used his own strength to fight against the entire space and time of another world. In the end, Xiao Ran's emotions had almost completely disappeared. It was hard to say if the consciousness and reason that existed in this world truly belonged to him.
Next, the army sent combat forces to the mainland to wipe out the remaining dimensional beasts. In the past few days, the army didn't give up on rescuing the lives that might still exist on the mainland. But in the end, they only found less than 30,000 frozen cabins on the huge mainland, and only about two-thirds of the people who were successfully rescued and survived. Although these people woke up from the cold, they didn't recover their ability to take care of themselves. At the same time, it wasn't convenient to leave these people in the Homestead Fortress, so New Luxembourg cleared out a small city and settled all these people in the small city, sealing them and getting Renard to send people to take care of them.
