Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Zhongming, as the boss of Cloud Summit Villa, remained unmoved.
Confusion arose, and everyone was fixated on the light barrier.
“What are those...?” some people voiced their questions.
At this time, Zhuangxiang Bagua Palace was already on the verge of collapse, yet the brightness of the destruction thunder had only slightly diminished.
The spirit woman, who had taken a step back earlier, now stepped forward again.
Ye Zhongming's indifference did not provide her with a sense of security, which was different from the other members of Cloud Summit.
After all, she was just a mutated lifeform, having evolved to the ninth level, and was currently at the peak stage of emotions and confidence.
She was unwilling to put her life in the hands of Cloud Summit or Ye Zhongming, even though she had countless ties to this place.
In a desperate situation, she had to take action, regardless of whether Ye Zhongming made a request.
Many members of the Youth Army had already seen their weapons glow, a sign of energy charging.
But at that very moment, the nearly shattered translucent light barrier of Zhuangxiang Bagua Palace surprisingly showed signs of stabilization, and the chilling brightness of the destruction thunder was visibly diminishing!
What was happening?
Not only did others watching through the light barrier fail to understand, but even the spirit woman turned to Ye Zhongming with confusion before looking toward the other side.
On the light barrier, many began to pay attention to the earlier questions from other individuals.
At the edge of the Cloud Summit formation, some peculiar lifeforms were kneeling on the ground, using their hands to support themselves, presenting a posture of 'apology.'
However, they were strange, forming a circle at equal distances, surrounding the people of Cloud Summit.
Beneath them, the ground glowed with an energy line connecting them together, and the source of this line was Xiao Min, who had just placed her hand on the light barrier of Zhuangxiang Bagua Palace.
“Is she absorbing the energy of the thunder?” Ruan Xiao asked incredulously with her eyes wide open, looking at Wu Xiu beside her.
The giant of the Ogre Chain lowered his hands, along with his previous thoughts.
“Although I don’t know how she did it, it seems likely.”
Ruan Xiao wanted to say “impossible,” but she held it back.
What she believed to be impossible had indeed been achieved by someone, making it a possibility.
Ye Zhongming's expression remained unchanged, but there was a barely perceptible hint of relief in his eyes.
The moment the explanation for the fortune card used by the Mechanical Genius was released, Xiao Min informed Ye Zhongming of her thoughts, and quickly received the King of Cloud Summit's approval, leading to the current scene.
It was risky, but one couldn't deny it was also worth it; those strange beings kneeling in a circle on the outside were rapidly growing stronger.
They were the gene warriors left to Ye Zhongming by Alamos, special gene warriors that, after the installation of the White Hole Crystal, no longer faced issues of fusion and evolution.
The White Hole Crystal allowed them, although artificially created lives, to avoid negative rejection states, eliminating the need to soak in nutrient liquids, and resolving the problem of their powers being fixed once created. It could be said that Liu Zhenghong's long-standing issues were addressed by the White Hole Crystal.
Of course, this didn't mean they lacked drawbacks; their initial levels were lower, their forms weren’t as perfect as those produced in the Cloud Summit laboratory, and their abilities were relatively single-faceted.
Yet, being able to evolve like other mutated lifeforms, and even faster and stronger, was sufficient to make up for these shortcomings.
The gene warriors fused with the White Hole Crystal required life energy for evolution; theoretically, the power of destruction thunder could not be absorbed. At their current strength, they could not withstand even ordinary thunder, which could kill them a thousand times over.
