Chapter 66 Armor and Soldiers Are Sufficient
Since Hua Ye consolidated all his forces around Tiancheng Star, the Angel Starfield has become much quieter. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for the rebels. The good thing is that the rebels have time to develop, but the bad thing is that there are no more resources for them to plunder; they have to collect everything themselves.
This meant that it took He Xi three months to build the equipment.
With the blueprints in hand, the structure of the equipment is not particularly complex. Its core components are an energy supply module and a gene compilation module. The upgrade plan is transmitted to the warrior's dark dimension via the dark web to initiate gene recombination.
The moment the device started, the energy cube burned intensely in the energy supply module, emitting a low hum. He Xi stood in front of the device, reached out and touched the outer casing, her silver eyes reflecting a pale blue light.
The first batch of upgrade personnel was selected from 120 people chosen from Keisha's 11,000 warriors—this is the maximum that the current materials can support.
But materials are not the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is the Dark Dimension.
The Dark Dimension records information about all life in the main biological universe. Super soldiers can access this information, harness dark energy, and perform genetic recombination through the Dark Dimension. Without the Dark Dimension, there is no upgrade. The prerequisite for accessing the Dark Dimension is possessing the Super Soldier gene.
Like ordinary creatures, ordinary angels possess almost zero dark energy. Without the aid of instruments or equipment, they cannot sense dark energy, let alone the existence of the dark dimension. Therefore, they cannot directly access the dark dimension, receive gene sequences, or upgrade themselves.
They need assistance.
As the 120 female angels entered the cave and stood in front of the equipment, He Xi initiated the program, transmitting the gene sequences to the dark dimension of each warrior via the dark web.
Most of these warriors had not yet completed any form of divine body upgrade, and the dark dimension was not yet fully activated. The first thing He Xi did was to help them activate the dark dimension and then write it into the super gene sequence.
Three days later, 120 people emerged from the cave. Their energy fluctuations were several times stronger than before, but they would need one to two months of adaptation training to fully adapt to their new bodies.
He Xi handed them over to Liang Bing, who was in charge of training them.
Access to He Xi's newly established dark web required an invitation from someone already on the dark web and authorization from Keisha. It took He Xi and Keisha three days to enter the first batch of names into the dark web system, then authorize and activate permissions for each individual. This was an unexpected workload, but one they had no choice but to undertake.
This process took another two months.
When the materials ran out, Keisha had no choice but to send people out to search again. Asteroid belts, abandoned mines, barren planets—they searched everywhere they could.
Liang Bing led her team on countless trips through the nearby star systems. Sometimes they could find a batch of dark energy crystals, and sometimes they could find a few pieces of high-purity dark copper, but it was never enough.
He Xi's equipment would also stop from time to time to wait for materials, sometimes for half a month, and sometimes for a month, until enough materials were gathered before starting the next batch.
And so, batch after batch of angels evolved.
He Xi stayed by the equipment, extremely busy. She could only sleep three or four hours a day. Even when Keisha sent someone to relieve her, she wouldn't leave; when Zhao Chen brought her food, she sometimes forgot to eat.
Three years later, the total number of second-generation divine body warriors in the rebel army finally reached eight hundred. The remaining nearly ten thousand warriors were all at the first-generation divine body stage.
This is all the upgrades He Xi can complete under the current resource conditions, and that's all. Materials are completely exhausted. All the energy crystals and rare metals she could find have been used up, and Keisha sent people to search the surrounding star system thoroughly, but they couldn't find any more in the short term.
Eight hundred people.
How many second-generation divine bodies does Hua Ye have? A rough estimate suggests that the total number of second-generation divine bodies among the male angels is no more than five hundred.
Their upgrade plans were inefficient and costly. Hua Ye never cared about his subordinates, let alone spent resources to upgrade them on a large scale.
Hua Ye himself is a third-generation divine body, and he also has several veteran third-generation angels under his command. Keisha wasn't sure how effective the numerical advantage of second-generation divine bodies would be in the face of an absolute difference in strength.
Eight hundred people—that's all the bargaining chips she can offer right now.
Keisha entered the cave. He Xi was squatting in front of the equipment, checking its condition in preparation for future maintenance. Hearing footsteps, she looked up.
"We've run out of materials." He Xi's voice was still a little hoarse. "Without energy crystals, the equipment can't operate. The Dark Web also doesn't allow any more new members to be added. Our system's computing power is already saturated, and we can't add any more people to avoid affecting our combat strength."
Keisha remained silent for a long time. "Eight hundred men. That's enough."
He Xi looked at her; her silver eyes were bloodshot, but they were full of spirit.
Keisha turned and walked out of the cave, standing on the high platform in the center of the camp. Eight hundred second-generation divine warriors were practicing in formation on the training ground, their silver armor gleaming coldly in the starlight. The remaining nearly ten thousand warriors stood on the perimeter of the plaza, their swords drawn, pointing towards the same starry sky.
