Chapter 646: Chapter 628: Hook’s Hypothesis
Since he achieved his goals ahead of schedule, Luo Di planned to spend the remaining days experiencing the life of an ordinary Spine in the Nest City.
However, he hadn’t finished exploring for even a morning before he stepped on sothing.
Looking down, he saw it was an eyeball,
which seed to activate upon being stepped on, multiplying rapidly and adhering to Luo Di’s body until it was completely covered.
His body began to decompose swiftly under the cover of the eyeballs,
and the cluster of eyeballs transford into a small beacon, projecting a beam of light to the topmost building of the Nest City.
“The Seven Horns Council”
A region only the most elite Spines, legitimately known as the Demon Kings, could access.
Inside the council were seven special seats, each corresponding to one of the strongest [Seven Demon Kings].
At this mont, three of them were present.
One of them was Oculus, who had brought Luo Di here, now revealing his true form apart from his usual cloak-covered appearance.
[Eye of Hell – Oculus]
There stood a pink spine based on optic nerves, ticulously interwoven from billions of nerve fibers.
Branching nerves extended outward from the spine, resembling the structure of a trunk and branches.
Countless eyeball fruits hung densely from each branch, forming the structure of two hands.
One hand rested on the chair,
while the other supported the burning large eye-head,
with the lower body forsaking leg or foot structures, surrounded by countless small eyeballs at the base of the spine, like a small mound, rging with the chair as one.
Aside from Oculus, there was also an entity Luo Di hadn’t seen before.
Just a glance evoked a sense of heaviness and the clashing sound of machinery and flesh, reminiscent of a Hell Factory.
One of the Seven Demon Kings.
[Military Governor – Scalaser]
Headless with six arms,
each arm chanically modified and embedded with dense tal runes on the surface, inscribed with strange nurical symbols.
So arms wielded lee weapons,
while others were modified into exaggerated hand cannons with multi-barrel structures.
These arms were powered not only by flesh but also connected to various tal conduits, creating a multi-power system.
All the tal conduits pointed towards the center of its body.
There, a severely underdeveloped small Demon was curled up, with tal conduits converging within, or seamlessly integrating with its weak spine.
Each segnt of the spine had output interfaces, as if providing endless energy.
This “weak” Demon was the true form, also one of the Seven Demon Kings.
Currently, the modified chanical eyes had turned towards Luo Di, specifically focusing on Luo Di’s left arm.
…
As for the last one, it goes without saying.
Head of the Spines,
firmly seated in his position and unshakable by anyone,
[Overlord, Bellator Imperator]
He did not intentionally exhibit his true form, or rather, he deliberately restrained it to avoid putting too much pressure on Luo Di.
Today’s council was directly related to Luo Di.
Just as Luo Di was about to inquire about the matter at hand, buzz! Another beam of light shone through, and this ti soone not belonging to the Spine faction had arrived, a familiar acquaintance of Luo Di.
Military Governor – Scalaser was the first to raise a hand in greeting, seeming to be well-acquainted.
“Hook, long ti no see.”
“Scalaser… Have you got a new shell?”
“Just a minor craft, the real shell is still down below.”
After so small talk, the Overlord’s voice ca through,
“Today, we are holding a special council that requires only the three of us. The eting will focus on two individuals not from here.”
His jet-black eyes quickly fell on Luo Di, first glancing at the Black Spine, then staring into his eyes.
“Luo Di, regarding the visitors from the Outer Realm that have appeared in your world, Hell plans to respond in advance.
The Spine faction here intends to establish a partnership with the Punishnt Room and gradually expand it throughout the Great Monastery.
And for this collaboration, we need you to provide sothing.”
“tal?”
Luo Di had roughly guessed the true purpose of the eting.
“Yes, I’ve gleaned so background on your arm from Hook.
Since this is a “High-level tal” that integrates the Outer Realm and Punishnt Room. If it can be mass-produced, perhaps it can be used for military production and significantly enhance Hell’s combat power.
Although Hook has so tal samples over there, the research progress is slow.
So in the coming days, I hope to get your subjective cooperation, Luo Di, so Scalaser can carefully observe and study the structure of your arm, and then jointly advance the research work with Hook.”
“No problem.”
Luo Di’s arm was originally able to escape the shackles of the Outer Realm thanks to Hell, not to ntion that he was personally given a weapon by the Overlord on this visit.
A Spine Soldier like gin would likely not even find it in the treasury.
Moreover,
The always proud and aloof Overlord actually chose to collaborate with the Punishnt Room and later wanted to establish an alliance with the entire Great Monastery.
The root of all this lies in the occurrence of the “Outer Realm Visitor” in the Corner, and Earth is very likely to beco the first battlefield afterward.
Since everyone’s goals are consistent, Luo Di also doesn’t mind the ti issue and decisively agreed.
The originally planned re-experience of life in Hell had to be completely canceled.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Di hardly rested, or even if he was sleeping, he slept in the factory, on the workbench, with people studying his arm 24 hours a day.
However, this cooperation was not a waste of ti.
During this process, Luo Di gradually deepened his understanding of the arm and learned about its true operating principles. Essentially, there was no so-called “Hell Factory” inside the arm.
Instead, the tal bionic cables that make up the entire arm can perform “creation” actions with each other. Once the creation behavior starts, it emits a sound similar to the processing sound of a Hell Factory.
This is a high-efficiency, automated manufacturing thod.
This is the technology Hell most desires,
This processing efficiency far exceeds that of the current Hell Factory, and if it can be replicated and expanded into full-scale construction, Hell’s overall strength could be enhanced.
Hook was also working overti to draw structural diagrams of the arm with the Military Governor Scalaser, roughly figuring out the internal structure and functionality issues.
No wonder Luo Di’s left arm can withstand more Divinity, even the wrinkled skin of the deceased Corner.
It didn’t take too much ti,
The entire initial research ended approximately ten days later, and although it was far from technological realization, Luo Di, the “sample,” could already leave.
The last night.
While sleeping on the workbench, Luo Di suddenly felt a sharp neural pain and woke up abruptly.
Hook was sitting beside him, gently tapping the surface of Luo Di’s arm with his finger.
“Luo Di, our initial work is almost done here, and you can leave tomorrow. However, I’ve thought it over, and I still want to tell you sothing.
You need to try it yourself when you get back, as this is just my personal conjecture, currently without any theoretical support.”
“What is it?”
Luo Di quickly woke himself up, seeing that Hook looked exceptionally serious.
A perspective draft paper about “Protheus’ Hand” was taken out, recording the current research results.
Luo Di had already seen this draft paper during the day, and there wasn’t anything special about it.
However, Hook took out a pen and made changes to the arm in the drawing, reconfiguring the internal bionic cables.
During this process, Luo Di gradually noticed sothing.
“This is…”
“Exactly. At first, I wasn’t too clear on the situation of the ‘Outer Realm,’ so my research ideas were limited. After coming into contact with an infected individual last ti, I directly felt the small pore structure on his body and confird it belongs to a type of ‘transmission pathway.’
You also ntioned that when a remnant page from a comic is absorbed, a deep Abyss hole forms in the mind, presenting as a type of pathway.
Your arm possessing Outer Realm attributes might also achieve a similar effect with the ‘Holes.’
The body of your arm has completely erased connections with the Outer Realm. You might be able to create pathways yourself, achieving distant contact with other regions.
For example, directly opening a passage to Hell within the Corner,
or forcibly establishing a passage between you and the Corner Depths,
and so on,
This kind of long-distance, even cross-dinsional transmission, is sothing your original ability couldn’t possibly achieve.
But if this is an Outer Realm trait,
since others can traverse vast planes to co to the Corner, if you could grasp similar abilities, you could also perform this unrestricted, remote ‘pathway connection.’
Of course, this is just my personal speculation.
Whether it can be realized depends on you, Luo Di. You can try it when you go back, and it might provide unexpected help to you.”
“I’ll try it now.”
Under Luo Di’s control, the bionic cables inside his arm started to activate in a spiral structure, attempting to form a similar hole structure at the palm position.
Just as a deep groove of a hole was about to form,
Squeak~ Luo Di’s arm emitted a malfunction sound.
Several internal cables broke due to excessive twisting, and although there was no spatial sensation whatsoever, Luo Di himself experienced a peculiar feeling.
Instinct told him that this plan might be feasible.
