anwhile, at another corner of Hof Glacier.
The main body of Black Cocoon had already infiltrated the interior of the Salvation Society's Heaven-Reaching Tower as soon as the battle on the ice began.
He swung down from the sky using the restraint belt, landing on the surface of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, then used the restraint chainsaw to cut a hole in the tower's surface.
After that, he plunged straight into a silver-white space where the silvery-white light curtains rippled in all directions, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Amidst the cold light, Black Cocoon covered his entire body with a transparent restraint belt, entering a camouflage mode.
Then, he closed his eyes, fully opening his restraint sensing, extending like a web in all directions, instantly covering an entire floor.
At that mont, the ntor's voice suddenly sounded from the corridor's broadcasting equipnt:
"Ji Minghuan, do you rember the secret I just told you... To keep Artificial People 1003's conscious state stable, I must let Kong Youling enter his spiritual world and plant an irrevocable anchor point; the cost of doing this is that Kong Youling will die, and her spirit will likely perish on the spot."
In another corner of the Salvation Society base, inside a silver-white detention room, Ji Minghuan raised his head slowly upon hearing the ntor's words.
"How dare you let him near Kong Youling? Once it absorbs Kong Youling's abilities and controls the spiritual power, won't it break your tricks at any mont?"
"Don't worry... I won't let him have the chance," the ntor said, "In fact, I'm now letting Kong Youling make contact with 1003. It will only take a few minutes... soon she will beco a sacrifice."
"Impossible... she wouldn't agree to do that." Ji Minghuan articulated each word carefully.
"Initially she didn't agree, but I told her, 1003 is your family, I said he is your brother..." The ntor suddenly laughed, "Guess what she said?"
Ji Minghuan paused slightly, his face darkening.
The ntor paused for a while, then continued, "She said... your family is her family, so she'd help release Restricted Level 1003 from frenzy and pain."
Ji Minghuan fell silent.
"In any case, only by sacrificing Kong Youling will the last component of Artificial People 1003 be completed," the ntor said leisurely, "Artificial People can absorb all superpower users' powers, the only way to eliminate all superpowers, Ji Minghuan... you and Kong Youling will beco the initial sacrifices for Restricted Level 1003."
"Are you sure... ntor?"
Suddenly, Black Cocoon's teasing voice echoed faintly in the broadcast, overlapping with the ntor's voice, reaching Ji Minghuan's ears.
In the detention room, sitting on the bench, Ji Minghuan let out a sigh of relief.
He reached out, touched the suppression collar on his neck, and looked up at the penguin-shaped broadcasting equipnt, his eyes cold.
.....
.....
Inside the research lab on the fifth underground level of the Salvation Society.
Everything was imrsed in darkness, the light extrely dim, with only the nutrient tank of Restricted Level 1003 emitting a glow of luminous green light, making it the focal point of the entire world.
"Are you sure... ntor?"
At that mont, the ntor heard Black Cocoon's voice coming from above, causing him to pause slightly, then he slowly raised his head to see a dark figure hanging motionless from the ceiling.
In an instant, Black Cocoon extended his right hand, wrapping the ntor's entire body with the restraint band, firmly pressing him to the ground.
Then he turned his head and saw a white-haired girl leaning against the nutrient tank, Kong Youling with her eyes closed, reaching out to touch the surface of the nutrient tank, inside which Restricted Level 1003 had its eyes closed, face numb yet pained.
"Silly child..." Black Cocoon murmured softly.
A torrent of inky black restraint bands flowed out from the sleeve of his trench coat, tightly binding Kong Youling's body, pulling her back.
At this instant, the spiritual connection between Kong Youling and Restricted Level 1003 was severed, and a massive tremor emanated from the nutrient tank, causing the whole world to resonate, mixed with heavy breathing.
Almost the mont Black Cocoon held Kong Youling, he swiftly covered their bodies with a layer of transparent restraint belt.
But in the next mont, eight chanical claws burst out of the nutrient tank, moving as fast as light, instantly lifting Black Cocoon's body, each claw gripping his body, sinking deep into the marrow.
"Damn it..."
Black Cocoon paused slightly, then held Kong Youling tightly, a cold system prompt echoing in his mind.
[Skill Released—"Shifting Form and Shadow" (Switch positions with your Restraint Incarnation).]
As the prompt box reflected in his pupils, Black Cocoon disappeared with Kong Youling.
In its place, the Restraint Incarnation which fought Sun Wukong on the ice suddenly appeared in the lab, being lifted by Restricted Level 1003's chanical claws.
But just in the next second, the Restraint Incarnation was torn apart by Restricted Level 1003's chanical claws, dissolving into a cloud of scorching steam.
Restricted Level 1003 raised its head, gazing at the darkened laboratory, then lowered its eyes to the ntor bound on the ground by restraint belts.
The ntor stared dumbfounded at 1003.
The two gazed silently at each other, one above and one below, in the dimness.
...
...
At the sa ti, north of Hof Glacier.
The massive ice field had beco riddled with holes, countless collapsed snow mountains, an avalanche nearly sweeping half the world, covering the sky with the breathtaking aurora.
