Chapter 640: Chapter 544: Reconstruction and the New Subsystem
A few dozen days later, Jeming stopped his operations.
The various large arrays around him gradually extinguished, and the lights emanating from the nest slowly faded away.
He took two steps back and looked at the massive creature in front of him, nodding in satisfaction.
After this period of effort, the transformation was finally complete.
Compared to before, the appearance of the nest had not changed much — it was still that mass of semi-transparent jelly-like substance, still emitting a faint blue glow, resembling a giant Slime.
But Jeming knew that its interior had been completely transformed.
He called up a light screen, browsing through the various data of the transformed unit while organizing his thoughts on the transformation process.
First, there was the issue of positioning.
In Jeming’s original design, the nest was a biological warship, functioning both as a munitions factory and a combat unit.
However, now that the automatic factory in the Inner Grotto Heaven could completely replace its production function, retaining the munitions factory role would only blur its positioning.
So, Jeming simply removed that part, making it a purely water combat unit.
Since it’s a purely water combat unit, its combat capabilities naturally needed to be improved.
In this regard, Jeming had already prepared.
Years ago, on a battlefield, he had saved a Fifth Level Wizard from their allied workshop.
That person specialized in Water Element Law, and afterward, as a token of gratitude, gave Jeming the culmination of their years of research: "Water Element Shaping and Energy Compression Technology."
After all, it was the core technology of a Fifth Level Wizard, and with the techniques Jeming originally mastered, it was enough to bring the nest’s combat capabilities in water to a respectable level.
Jeming marked "completed" in the records of that part of the technology and then continued to look further down.
Next was the core of this transformation — time technology.
The nest originally had some degree of time manipulation ability, derived from biological technology obtained from Yetis, which could slow down surrounding enemy units and accelerate its own actions.
Jeming enhanced this ability, resulting in effects nearly double those of before.
Judging by the standard that slowing the enemy equals accelerating oneself, although each aspect only increased by a factor of two, this simultaneous acceleration and deceleration compounded to make the nest four times faster than before.
But this was just the foundation.
The true core was a small Technique inscribed in the core consciousness of the nest using that mass of biological tissue as material.
Time Reversal.
To be precise, it was a small-scale, limited to the nest’s own body, Time Reversal.
There was no doubt that this technology originated from the Reincarnation Plane.
As soon as the nest sustains damage, this Technique would automatically activate, reversing the damaged part of the body’s state to before the injury.
Simply put, as long as it isn’t instantly killed, it can quickly return to normal.
Jeming watched as this part’s inspection passed quickly on the light screen, nodding in satisfaction.
However, Time Reversal was just a backup measure.
Simple Time Reversal only makes it difficult to kill, but is not enough to produce a qualitative change.
He also stored a large amount of biological information inside the nest.
This information was from his years of collection — various mutations of the Reaper Race, various special creatures from the Aerial Plane, the bizarre creatures of the Triangular Plane, and even some structural data of the Black Giant.
Paired with the Time Reversal ability, the nest could immediately "evolve" the corresponding biological structure after receiving a certain type of attack to resist or counter.
For example, when attacked by Fire Element, it could temporarily generate a fire-resistant shell; when attacked by Ice Attack, it could mimic the cold-resistant structure of a Yeti; when subjected to piercing damage, parts could harden...
Theoretically, as long as it is given time to adapt, it can become immune to most types of damage.
More importantly, on top of this, Jeming also attempted to inscribe the Body Forging Technique within it.
However, the effect in this area was average.
The species form of the nest was too different from that of the Black Giant, and even more distant from that of a human individual.
The operational efficiency of the Body Forging Technique in it was far less than on the Black Giant.
But paired with Time Reversal, it still had a significant effect.
However, integrating so many functions naturally came with corresponding drawbacks, the biggest of which is the excessive energy consumption.
This was the most troublesome issue.
Time Reversal consumes energy, Adaptive Evolution consumes energy, and the variance in body posture requires energy and a large amount of biomass.
Moreover, when these functions are all activated simultaneously, the energy consumption rate reaches a terrifying level.
If it still relied on the energy absorption system of the Magma Giant, the nest would find itself in a dilemma: if the energy absorption efficiency was too high, it would cause the surrounding water temperature to plummet, affecting the water battle environment; if the absorption efficiency was too low, it could not meet consumption needs.
Fortunately, the cross-space Energy transmission system of the Incense Fire Divine Dao had been debugged and completed beforehand.
Jeming simply installed a receiving device inside the nest, which could directly draw Energy from the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
As long as the Incense Fire Divine Dao continues to operate, the energy problem is not an issue.
The cost is that to accommodate this part of the Law, the core of the nest enlarged by another circle, and correspondingly, the size it could control also increased significantly.
As for biomass, there was no need to worry.
The already immense size of the nest inherently functions as a substantial biomass warehouse.
Moreover, during battle, it could devour enemies and convert the enemies’ flesh into its biomass reserves.
