Chapter 3386: Untitled
Theresa suddenly thought of something.
His pupils, which were as brilliant as stars, constricted to the minimum and turned into immeasurable black holes that were filled with unbearable pain.
Her lips twitched slightly, as if she had been slashed in the face. Her face was immediately covered in sweat.
“Well, Jade, tell me…”
Theresa took a deep breath and stammered, “Is the witch gene a bright green liquid that looks like rotten milk but is more sticky and glittering?”
“The Witch Gene in the sealed state should’ve been colorless, odorless, and as pure as water when it was covered in the protective liquids.
“However, in order to allow the next captain candidate to absorb the Witch Gene perfectly in a low-tech state without the assistance of any facilities, Captain Kelly added a lot of nanomachines to the Witch Gene Protection Liquid, which turned it into bright green solvent and made it look as thick as milk.
“Once the nanomachines enter the body, they will be able to transform the candidate of the next captain and implant the Witch Gene into the genes of the candidate so that the multiple helixes will be melded perfectly.
Theresa was silent for a moment.
She had heard the boxing champion talking about the concept of ‘nanometer’ before. It was an extremely tiny unit of scale, similar to the mustard-seed level of the Pangu Universe.
In other words, countless tiny mustard-seed-level spiritual puppets were transporting the Witch Gene into his body, which was why his body was in such a bad state.
Theresa swayed and said feebly, “So, the injection method of the Witch Gene is…”
“You can just swallow it or inject it into your body through various holes. Since the intestines of human beings boast high-efficiency absorption abilities, it is more recommended to give the drug from the back.
“It is also because of the thousands of years of vicissitudes that the descendants of Jade are likely to experience technological faults and loss of civilization and have forgotten the marvelous technology of the past. Therefore, Captain Kelly has prepared everything so that the successors can get the Witch Gene in the simplest and crudest way,” Jade said.
“So, this is the case!”
Theresa gnashed her teeth and clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into her palms, drawing blood.
She finally understood what the most evil drug that Eric had injected into her body after he captured and tied her up was!
Right. According to the intelligence of the Demon Sector, Lord Cooper had broken into two arsenals that had been sealed for ten thousand years.
It didn’t take long before Eric started his evil research in the Doom Mountains and the Fallen Forest.
It appeared that Lord Cooper had found a copy of the Witch Gene and… the instruction manual from the ancient arsenals, but he could not crack them perfectly with his wisdom. Therefore, he entrusted the two items to Eric, who was one of the best palace mages on the Emerald Continent.
Eric, the ‘Amoeba’, lived up to his promise and made great progress. The first ‘perfect test subject’ to be born under his command was himself!
In other words, from a certain point of view, Kelly Kanna, the previous captain of Jade, and ‘Jade’, the artificial intelligence in front of him, were also the culprits who had indirectly made themselves look like ghosts.
This was really…
Theresa had mixed feelings and did not know what to say.
Wait. Something is still not right!
Theresa gnashed her teeth. “Even if we are going to absorb the wisdom of hundreds of captains of Jade to steer the starship and command the battle, we don’t have to change our bodies into Captain Kelly’s appearance, do we? Will every captain of Jade be modified to look like the previous captain when they ascend to the throne?”
“Under normal circumstances, of course not.”
Jade said casually, “When Jade is in the perfect cruising and combat state, the virtual learning system inside the starship will ensure that all the crew members learn a lot of complicated knowledge and make sufficient physical preparations so that they can be prepared for the bombardment of the Witch Gene.
“But according to my precise calculations, after thousands of years of hibernation, it will be very difficult for us to find a candidate whose brain is sufficiently developed and whose body is tough enough. After the technological fault and the catastrophe of the loss of civilization, the descendants of Jade are destined to degenerate into primitive people who do not know how to control the simplest storm bolter.
“Under such circumstances, if the Witch Gene is implanted into their bodies and activated, their brains will be burnt to ash instantly, or the burden on their bodies will be too much for them to bear. In the worst-case scenario, their bodies will explode.
“Therefore, the transplantation and activation of the Witch Gene are divided into two steps.
“In the first phase, we retrieved Captain Kelly’s genes and copied and encapsulated them. Captain Kelly was a super elite selected from billions of crew members after studying and fighting in the virtual space for hundreds of years. Her genes represented the wisdom, physical strength, and the limits of the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
“With Captain Kelly’s genes, the primitive people who ate raw meat and drank blood would be blessed with the possibility of intelligence, physical strength, and willpower. They would become ‘carriers’ of the Witch genes, and they would be guided to this place. Then, we would proceed to the second phase, which was to awaken all the Witch genes inside her body.
Theresa was stunned.
She opened her slender hands and looked at them for a long time, only to find that they were not as good as they appeared to be. She said, “Is it as bad as you said? If I were the so-called carrier of the Witch Gene, I would’ve hung Black Jack up and beaten him like a dog.
“Right, Black Jack! Let’s put the ‘witch’ and ‘witch’ aside for now. You should be able to tell that Black Jack is not a human being but an evil intruder from outer space who is even weirder than the flood, right? Destroy him now!”
“Indeed. I detected a brand-new cell structure on its tentacles. I’ve sailed through so many universes, but I’ve never seen anything like it. It is definitely an invasion of foreign creatures. The danger level is the highest.”
Jade was still half-dead. “However, Jade has not been fully repaired yet, and its energy is insufficient. I lack the ability to destroy it completely.
“What?”
Theresa said, “Wasn’t the rain of lasers you just launched very impressive? One more shot, and Black Jack and Grand Lord Kuba will be riddled with holes!”
