Chapter 1422 ’Defusing’ The Lifestream Energy Bomb
"Hmm, other than a few adjustments which I assumed were the Mage General's greedy requests, I do not think that there are any differences to the specifications of the blueprint he stole. I am just surprised that there is sufficient equipment for the Mage General to build all of these in secret." Transquick said as he examined the bomb.
"Are you able to return this lifestream energy back to the planet?" Jin asked and Transquick was reluctant to answer.
"I could but the process of giving is harder than the taking. You see, usually, the planet takes in the lifestream energy through the process of death and rebirth. Still, as you can see, we had already intervened in the cycle and prevented this lifestream energy from returning to the planet."
"And Then? Just release it now and let the lifestream energy seep back into the world. Problem solved." Kraft was rather impatient as he thought there could be something more deep and mysterious to this whole lifestream energy affair.
"If I could, I would already have done it. Master Kraft, The problem is the lifestream energy we extracted does not seep back into the planet. It continues to linger around the surface…well I erm mean from the core of the planet and releasing it now would only allow animals, beings to be exposed to it."
"Not to mention, it's susceptible to being absorbed by others. That was how the Demon Rat Generals got their powers and conquered the city."
"Makes you wonder why the other Demon Rats did not even try using that lifestream energy for themselves. " Pei commented and Transquick said that most of the Demon Rats had been indoctrinated to not fiddle with such powers. The lifestream energy was seen as a fuel or even a consumable for a temporary boost in strength, especially for our Demon Rat Brutes. So that was how they controlled the Demon Rats for not being able to absorb the lifestream energy."
"So you are saying that if this is now not a bomb and being used on a Demon Rat, it could potentially make the said Demon Rat to be like a Demon Rat God?" Kraft's eyes seemed to be glowing and the others could feel the thoughts coming out loud from his head.
"Hah. Even I am not that stupid to try such a ridiculous stunt. If a Demon Rat absorbs this much lifestream energy, their chance to explode into oblivion would be a thousand percent. No way in hell any Rat could survive the absorption of such lifestream energy." Transquick quickly refuted Kraft's hypothesis.
"But it is a different thing if the Demon Rat who absorbed the energy can come back to life." Kraft hinted about Transquick now being the Devil Fox's property (and ultimately under Jin's System.)
"Hmmm…" That single comment alone made Transquick thought of the possibilities but at that moment, Jin stepped in to break his new chain of thoughts.
"As I said, this is going to the planet. No, what ifs, no buts, no new variant of Demon Rat or Demon Rat God is coming out from this current conversation. Transquick, are you able to do so or not."
"But if you think about it, won't exploding into oblivion be the equivalent of dying?" Pei said and the rest gave the look as if it was the most obvious thing that would happen…until it occurred to Transquick.
"Wait. So what you mean is that we purposely seep the lifestream energy out to a being or creature and once it explodes to death, it returns the lifestream energy to its cycle?" Transquick quickly routed his thoughts and Pei nodded.
"Very inefficient way of transferring lifestream energy and possible loss of energy might occur but not entirely the worst possible solution." Transquick pondered.
"Lol, if that's the case, why can't you just grow chickens, give them the lifestream energy and cut them down." Jin spits out something random and Transquick felt a wave of inspiration coming into his mind.
"That's actually not a bad idea at all. Grow the poultry and sell them to the other kingdoms and the lifestream energy would eventually return to the ground while not risking the probable explosion that may occur if I release the energy all in one go." Transquick said and noted that that's one way for the planet to regrow.
"But it will take months or whatever right? Isn't there a faster way? I thought you guys said that the planet is dying.." Kraft was anxious that he would not have any lifestream energy bombs to play with.𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣n𝘰νℯ𝘭.c𝗼m
"Honestly, it should be fine. It is dying because we have been extracting a heck load of lifestream energy from it. But hypothetically the Demon Rats do not pull out any more energy from it, the planet would be able to slowly regenerate again, alongside our recovery plan." Transquick explained with a smile.
"Besides, killing the Demon Rats and later recovering all the other lifestream energy packs would also help with the recovery of the planet." He added saying that those packs when destroyed, could potentially return to Yggdrasil if they perform the same procedure as the lifestream energy bomb.
"Then I guess we better clean up the rest of the Demon Rats that are still lying around the undercity and earn more money at the sideline to recover. " Jin said as it hinted at the System to push the process of getting more Pandarens to get into the fight so they could be done with the entire Demon Rat War.
Kraft immediately yawned at such a prospect but allowed his Night Foxes to still be under Jin's command as he returned to his abode, allowing Jin to use his Night Foxes as he deemed fit.
Pei did not mind staying for a while longer in the Farming World, assisting the Dungeon Supplier with some mindless slaughter. Though she did it mainly because she still felt that she was cheating Jin too much for the hot spring package. After all, the cleanup of Demon Rats running around would be a hassle and she could complain that it was worth that compensation.
As for Transquick, he summoned other Demon Rat assistants to be at his side as they quickly transport the lifestream energy bomb through the System portal and work on a way to safely seep the lifestream energy.
