Chapter 480: Chapter 254: The Virtually Nonexistent Sublimation Particles and Laoshan’s Frustration

Although he wasn’t directly implicated in the incident last time, this time the sacrifice was critical for the Torch Organization’s future plans.

If it failed, Connet was no fool; he would certainly seek out relevant evidence before stirring up trouble.

This was a bit troublesome and needed to be handled cautiously. Li Ming pondered as he continued to develop Genetic Seeds.

"Let me think..." Li Ming strategized, based on his past knowledge and sightings of Torch Organization members sacrificing Dimension Life.

Those Dimension Life Forms would devour the "Tribute" upon arrival.

If he extracted the metal energy within, the Dimension Life Forms would discover the tribute was defective and then they would become enraged.

A certain Firework Apostle who conducted the sacrifice of Thunder - Hormuz on Jingnan Star had already confirmed this.

However, Connet wasn’t just any Firework Master; having dealt with many Dimension Life Forms, it was quite possible he might learn the truth afterward.

"But if someone interferes and causes the sacrifice to fail, then Connet might not be able to discern the true reason for the failure."

According to Pier, the steps required to sacrifice Dream were extremely tedious. This suspected Dimension Life Form, believed to possess the "Refining Illusion into Reality" ability, resided in the Deep Dimension World.

With rare contact with the real dimension and not only requiring a great deal of precious materials and items, contact could only be made in a certain area.

But Pier didn’t know the exact location of that area.

Li Ming pondered, then furrowed his brows slightly, "No, Connet will take these materials away. There might be a second check when they leave the warehouse, or another check might take place once they arrive at the destination. It would be easy to discover if there’s something wrong with the materials."

After considering all aspects, he outright dismissed the option of absorbing 70% of the energy, his eyes flashed sharply, "What if I absorbed it all? Turn it into an unsolved case and pin it on Des?"

"But a complete disappearance is too shocking; Des might not be able to handle it. Then, utilize model substitution... um, I must choose a good timing..."

After a long time, he shook his head again, "I haven’t confirmed how much metal energy there is in those Boiling Blood Alloys, and whether it’s worth the risk."

"At least I need to make some contact and understand the situation."

If the metal energy contained wasn’t significant, then his current considerations were just a waste of time.

The batch of Boiling Blood Alloy was sealed in the Torch Organization’s warehouse. Although the security was tight, it wasn’t personally monitored by a Level A Life Form, so he had a chance to sneak in quietly.

...

Meanwhile, in the Dimension Realm Laboratory, Connet had just emerged from the black liquid tank, naked, undergoing various data checks.

Beneath the seemingly slack muscles, there was hidden tremendous strength. The physical injuries caused by bearing too much Dimensional Energy had also been completely healed.

"All data normal, Leader, your body has fully recovered." The joy on the faces of the staff nearby was genuine.

Connet nodded slightly. Just as he donned his clothes, White approached with a furrowed brow, holding a tablet-like smart terminal that displayed various data.

"Leader..." White approached, respectfully calling out.

Connet, seeing that White had something to report, directly asked, "What is it?"

White hesitated before saying helplessly, "Leader, in recent times, four Dimension Life Forms have shown different forms of abnormal phenomena."

"Their internal structures have mutated, and energy reactions have weakened, as if they have entered the end of their life cycle."

"The end of their life cycle?" Connet frowned, "How is that possible? According to standard data, even the shortest-lived Patton Sea Star is at least two hundred years away from the end of its lifecycle."

"We don’t know the specifics. These changes just happened recently, and I’m looking for the exact cause." White carefully glanced at Connet and whispered,

"Apart from the Dimension Realm Laboratory staff and organization members who have undergone cellular enhancement with Patton Sea Star cells for the plan, the only one who has had contact with Dimension Life Forms is Pier."

Hearing this, Connet frowned and looked at White coldly, "Just do your own job."

"Yes," White quickly responded.

Connet shook his head, the image of Pier flashed through his mind. White’s so-called contact with Dimension Life Forms was merely collecting some samples.

The fact that White was trying to pin this matter on Pier clearly had ulterior motives. Connet didn’t want to bother with such blatant infighting and ungrounded accusations.

After snapping a few words casually, Connet wasn’t too concerned, "It might be due to Balzak’s influence. It wasn’t unprecedented for secondary Dimension Life Forms to collectively decline due to the pheromones of a primary Dimension organism."

Their so-called end of life cycle was just a broad term; they were at least fifty years away from actual death.

Therefore, Connet was not in a hurry.

"I understand," White nodded, about to say something, but he caught sight of a shadow approaching and instinctively recoiled, stepping aside with his head lowered.

"Finally repaired, took more than twenty days. Don’t be so rash again; who knows how much was delayed," Kewis looked Connet up and down.

Connet slightly furrowed his brows, ordered White a few things, and then proceeded to a deeper office with Kewis.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Kewis didn’t mince words, "The Boiling Blood Alloy has arrived, and the other materials are all ready. We can go to Ferguson Star and sacrifice Dream."
