Chapter 1016: Chapter 291: Meat Mountain (Part 3)
"An Wuping..."
Suddenly, the tangle in Chen Mingâs mind seemed to be unraveled.
Right, why was he considering other people?
Since he could solve this problem himself, why rely on others?
The Fifth Legion would arrive slower than him, and he had the full ability to resolve the dimensional infection completely before they arrived and attempted to gain its power.
The president didnât notice Chen Mingâs peculiarity, and continued speaking, "An Wuping is slightly less powerful, but at least his goal has always been to resolve Zuo Jing."
"Plus, heâs been missing for the past few years, untraceable, clearly lacking intelligence channels, he wouldnât know how to acquire the power of dimensional infection scattered by Zuo Jing."
"His encounter with Zuo Jing at the Earth Core Melting Furnace Power Tower has been reported, the Fifth Legion should focus there soon, and many will head over. Itâs uncertain what his situation will be."
"Thereâs really no other way."
"So be it then."
Chen Ming hurriedly ended the call, stopped the work of his real and fake body, and focused entirely on An Wuping.
Indeed, no matter the situation, in the end, you have to rely on yourself.
As long as he kills the Host, the Fifth Legionâs idea of using dimensional infection power would naturally collapse.
The threat from Zuo Jing, who had fully obtained the dimensional infection power, would be eliminated.
Those who havenât experienced dimensional infection are unworthy, and cannot possibly wield this power properly.
And those who have experienced it, unless they are mad or foolish, can clearly see the horror of this power and would never attempt to touch it.
Therefore, Chen Ming must completely destroy this power here.
Before the Psychic of the Fifth Legion arrives.
Chen Ming firmed his resolve.
Continued advancing underground.
At the same time, he gradually felt the surrounding environment growing hotter, and the mental pressure on him increased heavily.
Finally.
After shattering an underground isolation layer of the Earth Core Melting Furnace Power Tower.
A barrier made of flesh appeared before Chen Ming.
And after tearing through this barrier.
Beneath was a giant Meat Mountain.
He finally found the target.
In Chen Mingâs mind were some research reports released by Zuo Jing about dimensional infection.
When the dimensional infection occurred, Zuo Jing immediately removed the mutated tissue and transplanted it onto a Psychic who volunteered for the experiment.
Upon triggering the dimensional infection power, it transformed into todayâs colossal Meat Mountain monstrosity blocking the tower below.
As Chen Ming discovered the Meat Mountain.
A massive wave of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation surged toward Chen Ming, its effects from the Host were enough to influence An Wupingâs current state.
This caused a significant distortion in An Wupingâs perception.
Everything in An Wupingâs view became twisted, chaotic.
The whole world was filled with nauseating flesh, only outside the Power Supply Tower was pure land, the escape route; the Host aimed to lure An Wuping out.
Even Chen Ming himself was affected.
Error surfaced in Chen Mingâs cognition.
The Meat Mountain before him no longer resembled its previous form, but appeared as a mass of imminent decaying flesh, requiring only a slight jab to be killed effortlessly.
Even though he had just been staring at the gigantic Meat Mountain, he was unaware of any anomaly.
Though Chen Ming wasnât deceived.
Within seconds of being influenced, he realized the issue.
Because the Insect Queenâs consciousness and Chen Mingâs consciousness had long been integrated with the Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin.
And when Chen Mingâs primary focus shifted onto An Wuping, the Insect Queenâs consciousness naturally came along, the hive mind of the Insect Race led by the Insect Queen also attached onto An Wuping.
The number of insects the Insect Queen had now, even Chen Ming was unclear, but surely more than the population on a typical colony planet.
This quantity of consciousness wasnât susceptible to mind control.
The Insect Queen thus resisted the Hostâs attack.
As soon as the Insect Queen identified the issue, it equaled Chen Ming identifying the issue.
Chen Ming could completely through the Insect Queenâs perspective see the true situation in reality, unaffected at all.
Moreover, Chen Ming discovered a peculiar phenomenon.
The gigantic Meat Mountain seemed to "breathe."
Not precisely breathing, but it made motions similar to breathing.
Just when the Meat Mountain released Spiritual Energy Fluctuation toward him, it entered an exhalation state, and the whole Spiritual Energy Fluctuation exhibited a unique and uncontrollable characteristic.
As the wave of fluctuation gradually dissipated, the Meat Mountain entered an inhalation state, stabilizing the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation again, if not observed closely, Chen Ming might truly think this Meat Mountain was just flesh, devoid of any fluctuation.
The state of this Meat Mountain changed constantly between active exhalation and gentle inhalation.
Like the Hostâs fluctuation and tropical climate, it had an unstable active and stable period.
And when the Hostâs fluctuation was in the active period, not only did his fluctuation become chaotic, but also resulted in some repercussions that felt familiar to Chen Ming.
