Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 648 His Power
Even if it is useless to directly block the signal transmitted by the pain nerve... This kind of pain is born directly in the depths of the source of consciousness. In the term of the second point, it is "pain that reaches the soul".

Ke Lan only felt that his self-consciousness was jumping repeatedly on the verge of collapse. On the verge of extreme pain, he seemed to have a sense of ecstasy that was about to fly to the high-dimensional world...

"Damn it... Am I a jerk?" I don't know why, but at such a critical moment, such nonsense flashed through his mind, "No, it's obvious that I'm going to have a couple with the young lady. They are all in the C position, how could it be shaking M?"

With the passage of time, this unbearable pain weakened little by little, and Ke Lan's sanity gradually recovered-he suddenly found that he and the rest of the team were standing on a thousand-meter-deep In the huge pit, as far as the eye can see, there are remnants of rotten tissues everywhere on the ground, and even the walls of the huge pit are covered with rapidly shrinking flesh and blood... In just a few short seconds, The original seed of erosion that originally stretched across the wilderness like a mountain has almost completely disappeared, and its corpse has been evaporated like snow under the scorching sun. Only the disgusting smell remains in this giant pit. Fishy smell.

"Ke Lan——Are you alright?" Seeing Ke Lan standing up, Ivan asked quickly.

"Probably, maybe, maybe it's okay..." Ke Lan touched the back of his head. Fortunately, his hair was still there... The burning sensation just now made him almost think that he was going to be burned into a bald head again.

"Are you sure?" Ivan pushed the goggles on the bridge of his nose—this thing is not a simple pair of goggles, but a high-tech detection device that integrates multiple functions, just like the one worn by Lin Qiming's secretary A pair of AR glasses is about the same.It's just that the one worn by Ivan is a customized model specially designed for medical staff.

And when he looked at Ke Lan, various red alerts on the lens had already flashed together.

"The process of absorbing it just now was quite painful, but now I don't seem to feel anything." Ke Lan shrugged and replied.

"Do you know what your body temperature is now?" Ivan's tone was a little stiff.

"How much?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, and put his palm on his forehead, "Looking at you, it shouldn't be 37 degrees Celsius, right? But I don't feel that my skin is very hot?"

"If this thing is not broken——" Ivan tapped the frame of the goggles with the pulp of his index finger, "It detects your body temperature, which is... 65 degrees Celsius."

"65 degrees Celsius?" Ke Lan was stunned. The body temperature of an ordinary human being above 65 degrees Celsius is already life-threatening. Although the body temperature of enhanced and modified humans is higher than that of natural humans, it rarely exceeds [-] degrees Celsius... ...And the value of [-] degrees Celsius, if it were Layton, the alarm in the central control chip of his prosthetic body would have been beeping non-stop.

The most important thing is that Ke Lan didn't feel any heat, and the temperature of the skin on his body was the same as usual.

"That's not right... Could it be that your glasses are broken?" Ke Lan asked subconsciously.

Ivan turned his gaze to other people, the alarm prompt on the lens went off immediately, and the monitoring value also dropped back to the normal threshold, but when he turned his head to look at Ke Lan again, the temperature reading started to rise again jumped.

"There is no problem with the equipment." Ivan shook his head.

"Then feel for yourself to see if I have a fever." Ke Lan stretched out his wrist to Ivan.

65 degrees Celsius, as a body temperature, this number is exaggerated, but if it is just a temperature count, it is equivalent to a cup of warm water, and it is far from scalding.Without thinking too much, Ivan took off his gloves and grabbed Ke Lan's wrist.

Ke Lan's wrist is not hot at all, not even warm. All Ivan can feel through touch is a strange coldness, combined with the tough but delicate and smooth texture of Ke Lan's skin - he He almost suspected that what he was holding was not a human wrist, but the limb of some kind of temperature-changing animal with smooth skin.

"Strange?" It was Ivan's turn to be stunned this time. He looked at the warning sign flashing red on the lens and the body temperature value that had soared to almost [-] degrees, but the things he touched were icy cold. It doesn't look like a constant temperature creature at all... He couldn't help but wonder whether it was a malfunction of the equipment or a problem with his sensory organs.

"Hey, it's true, I just turned on the temperature detection system... Tsk, it's more exaggerated than your glasses, doctor, it directly shows that Ke Lan's body surface temperature is more than 100 degrees Celsius—" Layton yelled, "By the way, you're just holding his wrist, won't your hand be roasted?"

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Ivan let go of Ke Lan's wrist and took a step back.

"Huh?" Layton hesitated, "This is a high temperature of more than 100 degrees. Even if I am a cyborg, the part of my biological body is still a mortal body..."

"Do you think something is wrong with my hand?" Ivan asked back.

"I think both of your equipment is malfunctioning...cough." 33 rolled his eyes at the two of them, and said to himself, "If the temperature around Ke Lan's body can be so high, the light would have been caused by the gas Distorted by changes in density, but do you see this phenomenon now?"

"It seems like this..." Layton stretched out his hand in doubt, and touched Ke Lan's arm, "Hiss...why is it so cold? It's like... like a fucking corpse..."

"You don't need to speak if you can't speak..." Ke Lan glanced at Layton speechlessly, "Don't curse me to death."

"No, I'm just making an analogy... But then again, your body temperature is obviously not even 37 degrees Celsius, right? It can't be that my and Ivan's equipment failed at the same time, right?"

At this moment, Ze Luo came over suddenly, walked around Ke Lan, then raised his head and said, "Your temperature measurement system uses the principle of infrared temperature measurement, right?"

"Yes." Layton replied, "I don't know the structure of Ivana's glasses, but most of the devices that can measure temperature from a long distance now use infrared."

"That's right." Ze Luo said, "Although Ke Lan's body temperature is not that high, there is a terrifying energy flowing in his body now, and a small part of this energy overflows from his body surface , even if it’s just a little bit, it’s enough to cause a huge disturbance to your testing equipment.”

"Energy? Do you mean the drop of blood that Ke Lan absorbed?" Layton muttered, "At first I thought that after he absorbed that thing, even if he wouldn't become a big guy like the original seed of erosion, at least he would To be like the Hulk in the movie."

"Speaking of changes..." Ivan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Alexander who was a few kilometers away, "You have absorbed the blood of the true god of the original seed of erosion, so can you kill that thing?"

"I don't know... To be honest, if it wasn't for Ze Luo's ability to 'see' the energy flow in my body, I would even doubt that I hadn't absorbed that drop of blood at all." Ke Lan said distressedly, "But apart from just now Apart from the pain of absorption, I didn't feel any changes in my body, even the living armor—"

As he said that, Ke Lan's arm was instantly covered with a layer of blood-red armor.

"There are still some changes in the living armor, that is, from the previous texture similar to blood scab to the current ruby-like crystal clear feeling, and the hardness has increased a little... But this change alone wants to kill it. 'Alexander', no way."

After Ke Lan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed the earphone: "You haven't spoken since just now. Now that the original seed of erosion is dead, and I have absorbed the blood of the true god, shouldn't it be time for you to squeak?"

"I thought you could guess it." The intelligence dealer said meaningfully.

"Guess what?"

"If you regard the blood of God as a box containing power, then you need a key to open the box and release the contents."

"Can you stop telling riddles at this time?"

"Well, it's actually very simple. It's not enough to obtain His power. You also need His permission before this power can be used by you."

"His...permission?"

"You should have mastered the way to communicate with that existence, right?" said the information dealer, "Even the mediocre black-clothed bishops in heretical sects can do it. With your 'capital', you should be able to let him Will you keep your eyes on you for a moment?"

"You mean...'Holy Word'?!" Ke Lan choked for breath.

"Otherwise, is there a second way?"

"All right……"

Ke Lan glanced at the blasphemer and said, "Valentina, you are in charge of taking everyone out of the battlefield. This place... will soon become unsafe."

"What are you going to do?!" Ivan grabbed Ke Lan, "Holy Word, refers to the sacrificial ceremony of those bishops in black, right? Are you planning to sacrifice yourself?"

"No, no, no... I am different from those bishops in black. In fact, I have used this ability before." Ke Lan said.

"When?"

"During the East Ninth District Incident, the mixed teams of the Security Bureau and the Garrison Corps encountered the highly alienated Yui Arasaka... Well, at that time, I thought she was transformed into a radiation monster. Now that I see it, Yui Arasaka is very likely. He is also a bishop in black." Ke Lan continued, "In the face of the overwhelming force, the entire team was almost wiped out, only Victoria and I survived. In order to get rid of Arasaka Yui, I had the determination to die. Like the black-clothed bishop I met before, I recited that prayer in the Alpha language..."

"And then?" Ivan asked.

"Then Arasaka Yui died... To be precise, she was completely wiped out from this world, leaving nothing left."

"What about you? There shouldn't be serious side effects from using this ability?" Ivan's speech became faster and faster, "According to the records of the Security Bureau, those black-clothed bishops who initiated the sacrificial ceremony, regardless of whether the ceremony was Success, no one can survive after the incident...the death rate is [-]%!"

"I also said that I am different from those black-clothed bishops..." Ke Lan said, "After using the power of that 'god' to kill Arasaka Yui, nothing abnormal happened to my body..."

"But the situation is different now! Do you think Yui Arasaka can be compared with an existence like Alexander?" Ivan said firmly, "Although I know little about the principle of the sacrificial ceremony, I know very well that the most important thing is One of the rules is 'Equivalent Exchange'!"

"What is an equivalent exchange?" Layton on the side seemed a little confused, "Doctor, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all..."

"Equivalent exchange means how much price you pay in exchange for how much power you get." Ivan said word by word, "The essence of the sacrificial ceremony is a transaction, and the weights on both sides of the balance are what you can offer to the gods." sacrifices, and the power that the gods can bestow on you... It is specifically reflected in the bishops in black, that is, the stronger the life they sacrifice, the stronger the monsters they can summon... And if you want to defeat a giant like Alexander, you have to You can imagine the price that needs to be paid.”

"That is to say, even if Ke Lan can kill this big guy, he will definitely die, right?" Layton's face turned pale.

"Basically." Ivan nodded vigorously.

"No." Ke Lan shook his head, "I think you got something mixed up."

"what's up?"

"Although the essence of the 'Holy Word' is the same as the sacrificial ceremony, I am not a sacrifice, so how could I be sacrificed?" Ke Lan took a deep breath and said to the crowd, "The reason why those black-clothed bishops Die, because they played the idea of ​​empty-handed white wolves, there is nothing to sacrifice except their own life. But I am different, I have already got this drop of God's blood, The power to defeat Alexander is contained in this drop of blood, why should I sacrifice myself to that god in exchange for power?"

"But--"

"Come on, Zelo, Valentina, take them away." Ke Lan said decisively, "I'll give you 10 minutes, you can run as far away from the battlefield as possible... Wait a minute, I Don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s definitely not going to be a small scene.”

"Okay." Ze Luo nodded. Ivan and Layton were about to step forward to stop Ke Lan, but found that their bodies could not move, and Ze Luo threw him on the back of the Blasphemer Mech in a blink of an eye.

"Try not to die." 33 nodded to Ke Lan, "At least don't die before me." Then he also climbed onto the body.

As for Akira Asano, he handed the saber in his hand to Ke Lan—this was the first time Ke Lan saw his sword leave his hand...Before that, even Akira Asano’s sword while sleeping It was held in his arms.

"You even lent me your 'wife'?" Ke Lan couldn't help but joke, "What if I accidentally break it?"

"As long as it can help you." Akira Asano remained expressionless, "It's okay."
