Chapter 1247: Birth of a Miracle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two energy cores of the same type cannot simultaneously be present in the same galaxy at any given time, let alone the same solar system. And so, when the new energy core was birthed by the sun, it was just a matter of time before it leapt off to another galaxy. However, 0541 had managed to lock onto it with Braveheart’s tractor beam and caught it right before it was about to fly off deep into space.

The plan had been to capture the energy core and reel it into the ship’s laboratory where it would then be secured in isolated containment. But 0541 had overwritten the tractor beam’s programmed vector at the last possible second and changed the targeted destination of the energy core from the ship’s laboratory to the holding cell where Jiang Fei was.

The AI also managed to reverse the tractor beam’s setting, making it go from maximum attraction power to maximum repulsion force. And that resulted in the energy core shooting toward Jiang Fei at twice warp speed, like a pinball being fired from the spring release.

Despite being so powerful, energy cores were still non-living objects without a will of their own. And even though cores with the same properties repelled each other and would cause either one to leave the galaxy they were in, the direction they took was random and unpredictable. In this case, 0541 had deliberately given the core a direction and set it free.

The core penetrated every wall and equipment between it and Jiang Fei at two times warp speed, making only a marble sized hole through everything in its path and puncturing solid Namekian alloy like a hot knife through butter, creating multiple breaches throughout the ship in its wake.

BOOM!

Jiang Fei had only just detected an immensely powerful form of energy being directed toward him when the core had already penetrated the cell wall and was already inches away from his face!

Given the size of Braveheart, the distance between the laboratory and the holding cell was tens of kilometers away from each other. But such a long distance meant nothing at two times warp speed as it only took the core one ten thousandth of a second to traverse. The fact that Jiang Fei was able to detect such a phenomenon with his current abilities on itself was applaudable. But attempting a split second reaction toward the oncoming projectile was something that even Level 5 Metahuman masters would not be able to accomplish.

ZOOM!

The energy core’s current trajectory meant that its was to go through Jiang Fei, right between the eyes. And at this speed, even a Level 5 or legendary Level 6 Metahuman was going to have their heads blown up into tiny meat particles, what more a Level 4 like Jiang Fei.

HUMMM!

But just as the core was a mere couple of inches away from penetrating Jiang Fei’s head, another energy core emerged from his forehead in a radiant blue light. It was the Core of Will that Jiang Fei had assimilated with!

Under normal circumstances, energy cores that had been assimilated with would not leave the host’s body unless in the event of death. But this was an exception because the core inside Jiang Fei and the one that was about to blow his head off were two of the same type!

Having had its trajectory forcefully changed and even velocity sped up to an abnormal speed resulted in it being denied entry into subspace. The new energy core was now on a collision course with another one similar to itself which was an event that had never happened before in the entirety of the history of the universe!
