469: You will be stronger

Bai Yiming watched the awe-inspiring scene before him, a storm raging in his heart.

He couldn't imagine that he, having lost consciousness, could unleash such powerful strength.

The sight of him frantically absorbing the energy of the white dwarf and the feat of him cracking the battleship's energy shield with a single punch made him feel both unfamiliar and familiar.

"Is this... is this me?" Bai Yiming's voice trembled slightly.

Polayev nodded, "Yes, this is what you look like when your consciousness trauma acts up. We only dared to teleport you to an ice planet where the cosmic energy is weaker. After putting armor on you, we dared to bring you back to the mothership."

Bai Yiming lowered his head and touched the black armor on his body. He could feel that the armor was like a part of him. This set of armor was the most advanced technology of the Crystal Energy Civilization.

Polayev continued, "You are still in the early stages of a divine body. Our armor's consciousness calming technology can still suppress you. Once you absorb the energy of a complete star, and your consciousness trauma remains unfixed, no one will be able to stop your unconscious rampage except for the Yuanchu God."

Bai Yiming took a deep breath, "So, I'm very dangerous? Then why do I not feel very strong right now?"

"Because the armor suppresses your berserk consciousness, and it also suppresses your energy," Polayev patiently explained, his gaze fixed on Bai Yiming.

"Bai Yiming, your power does not come from your physical body, but from your consciousness. Only consciousness is not affected by cosmic rules, but your damaged consciousness makes this power completely beyond your control. Our armor is precisely to protect you from being consumed by this power before you master it."

Bai Yiming seemed to understand and slowly said, "What is this transaction you speak of? What do I need to do for my trauma to heal?"

Polayev looked at Bai Yiming, knowing that this young man was processing the immense information he had just received. He paused slightly, then clearly articulated their terms of trade.

Polayev paused and said, "As part of the transaction, we will provide you with treatment to ensure your consciousness trauma is healed. However, this process takes time and requires your cooperation. Each time, the armor will automatically initiate a spatiotemporal teleportation and release the consciousness suppression."

Bai Yiming's eyelids twitched as he listened to Polayev, and he asked, "Are you treating me as a tool for war?"

He, of course, understood what Polayev was saying: teleporting him into enemy territory, then letting his consciousness trauma act up, causing him to go berserk and wreak havoc among the enemies.

This made Bai Yiming feel like a fire ox in an ancient fire ox formation, with its tail on fire, charging wildly through the enemy lines. This was an insult.

Polayev saw Bai Yiming's reaction and knew he had misunderstood. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, this is just for consciousness trauma recovery assessment. When you can regain consciousness in an unsuppressed state, your consciousness trauma will be completely self-healed."

Bai Yiming listened to Polayev's explanation and said coldly, "Is treating the trauma fake, and using me as a tool real?"

"Please don't misunderstand, the Yuanchu God has been here. After you are healed, you can easily penetrate the enemy battleship's defenses. We will not force you to work for us. The Yuanchu God's power can easily destroy our entire galaxy. Any civilization with a physical form, even a God-level Civilization, is under His control."

"The Yuanchu God?"

"Yes, He chose a human incarnation named Lu Tianming."

"I know that. Why didn't Uncle Lu save me? Can't He fix my consciousness trauma?"

Polayev, however, shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Yuanchu God indeed did not save you. He tacitly approved of our Crystal Energy Civilization's actions."

Although Bai Yiming was somewhat puzzled, he didn't say much. Perhaps Uncle Lu was also unwilling to get involved in his affairs, or maybe he didn't approve of him as his son-in-law.

There were many reasons, but the fact was that Bai Yiming was left in the 1854 galaxy. He probably had no choice but to cooperate, and only after recovering would he have a chance to return to the Milky Way, back to humanity.

"I accept this transaction. Why can't I control this armor?"

"This armor is actually a highly compressed crystal energy substance that can undergo mass-energy conversion. The entire armor contains energy equivalent to the entire lifespan of a medium-mass star. Currently, it is under our control. If you heal your trauma and your own energy surpasses the armor's, this armor will truly merge with you."

"So, I can become even stronger?"

"Yes, you will be stronger."

Bai Yiming pondered for a moment and said, "Since you've given me the armor, give me a weapon too! I prefer to use a spear, a cold weapon kind of spear."

Polayev smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Bai Yiming's request. He nodded, and soon after, a uniquely designed long spear was brought over.

The spear was about two meters long, with a deep black shaft engraved with intricate silver patterns that shimmered with a faint glow. The spearhead was a strange blue, as if containing endless chill.

"According to your human aesthetics, we have long prepared your exclusive crystal energy weapon. The weapon, like the armor, is stronger than any other weapon in the entire mothership."

Bai Yiming took the long spear and immediately felt a cool sensation emanating from the shaft, instantly spreading throughout his body. He gripped the hilt tightly and swung it lightly, and a crisp swish cut through the air.

"This crystal energy weapon is named 'Cold Star,'" Polayev introduced.

"A good name, I like it very much. I practiced martial arts when I was a child, and what I learned was spear techniques," Bai Yiming said with satisfaction.

Polayev introduced, "Its shaft is made of a rare metal called 'Star Alloy.' This metal possesses extremely high strength and toughness, can self-repair, and is also resistant to consciousness intrusion."

"What is consciousness intrusion?" Bai Yiming asked.

"You are now a full-element Ability User. You can try to disassemble this weapon."

Bai Yiming nodded slightly, but found that as soon as his consciousness focused on the weapon, it would be repelled by an invisible force.

"This, this is resistance to consciousness intrusion?"

Polayev nodded slightly and said, "The universe is vast, and the technology in different regions varies greatly. Ability Users like you are the most dangerous to the material world. In human terms, this weapon is magic-immune."

Bai Yiming was secretly surprised, realizing that this Cold Star long spear possessed such a miraculous function. He couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the Crystal Energy Civilization's technological level.

Bai Yiming smiled slightly and said, "This weapon, in human terms, is two words: awesome!"
