Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 942 [Jormungandr - Spark Mode!] (Posted first, will be added later; better to watch the next day)
Inside the cockpit, a dense array of data lights appeared on the main control panel, and Eden's voice rang out again, carrying that almost icy analytical logic and precision.

[Target entity feature archiving completed]

[Core Module: Blackthroat - Tidal Collapse]

[Ability Description: A singularity-like vortex exists in the center of the target's chest and abdomen. Its radius can expand rapidly within thirty seconds, ranging from ten to forty meters. The rotating structure is a non-Newtonian surface, and the absorption path is spiral-shaped, capable of absorbing large amounts of matter.]

Several explosion snapshots appeared on the screen at the same time. The train calamities that were originally as blazing as the sun vanished like extinguished matches as they approached the Blackthroat.

At the same time, once this ability is triggered, it will generate a gravitational fluctuation effect on the environmental structure with a radius of six kilometers centered on the main body.

The main manifestations include: topographic uplift/collapse, magma activation, and geological changes such as sea surface reversal. This can be considered a high-threat terrain-based armed mechanism, with the target area being a localized operational deprivation zone.

Eden paused for a moment, then added:
[Risk Factor: If the main body deploys Blackthroat three times consecutively and maintains stable operation for more than 90 seconds, the battlefield's spatiotemporal stability will drop to 43%, with a very high probability of generating an observation blind zone that overlaps with reality.]

Xia Xiu remained silent, his eyes fixed on the pitch-black maw that was still slowly rotating in the air, the edge of the vortex violently pulling at the afterglow of the calamity storm.

"This thing's attribute coverage isn't as extensive as Jormungandr's, and it seems to have a displacement limitation; I haven't seen it move at all so far..." He mentally summarized the characteristics of the beast below.

At this moment, Jormungandr hovered high above the head of the Star God, and the calamity field released by the train itself continued to spread, with apocalyptic strikes woven from flames, hail and blood continuously crashing down below.

The calamity of Jormungandr is a blanket divine punishment that covers the entire war zone.

Even the most powerful Star Beast's abilities are limited to a 6-kilometer radius controlled by its own body. While its devouring power is fierce, it has not yet surpassed the coverage dimension of Jormungandr.

A sharp glint flashed in Xia Xiu's eyes.

“We need more information about the beasts…” he murmured.

Then he turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on the direction where the Ninth Hero was:

“Saint Jacob, we now need firepower to counter the miracles.”

To be honest, I want to see more of Jormungandr's abilities.

Although it has demonstrated its capabilities in interplanetary, interdimensional, and war fortress-like attacks against civilizations, I still feel... it's not enough.

Xia Xiu looked at the Ninth Hero and said:

"Its single-unit firepower system against powerful units... is far from sufficient!"

The Ninth Hero understood, and an excited smile appeared on his lips:
"It's really not enough."

“You’re right. As the power projection platform of the Kingdom of Heaven, Jormungandr was not designed for conventional warfare from the beginning. Instead, it was designed as an ‘anchor point for confrontation between gods.’ It was originally intended to project the most forbidden things in the Kingdom of Heaven’s arsenal.”

As he spoke, he pulled out the [Horn of Heaven], and as the horn appeared, deep red stripes emerged from the screen, like blood vessels pulsating in veins, and layers of permissions were slowly opened.

Xia Xiu looked up abruptly and saw that the command system was rapidly mutating, with all the originally cold and restrained control interfaces now flashing warning messages.

Inside the cockpit, the roar of the battle seemed to transform into a low murmur in the background of the deep sea. All attention was now focused on the divine horn and the ultimate system that had been awakened.

The Ninth Hero's voice was deep, carrying a kind of reverent solemnity. He looked directly at Xia Xiu, his tone as solemn as if he were proclaiming a sacred judgment.

"This gathering has authorized us to unseal some of the distinctive weapons in the arsenal."

He said, and slowly pressed his finger on the light screen, and a red seal appeared.

"That is, authorizing me to start the [Nidhogg-μ Furnace]."

At that moment, the energy core in the middle section of the train began to emit a low hum, as if some dormant entity was about to awaken.

At the hearth seal located on the central axis of the battleship, the engravings slowly rotate in circles, like star trails beginning to reverse.

The Ninth Hero looked at Xia Xiu and continued:
"[Nidhogg-μ Furnace] is one of the oldest and most idealistic characteristic weapon devices of Heaven."

"What it seals is a special substance that does not belong to this benchmark world level."

"Heaven calls this substance—plasma spark."

He paused for a moment, seemingly searching for the right words. In that instant, even the seams of Jormungandr's armor plates seemed to seep out with a faint white-gold glow, as if some force was slowly igniting within.

“Its form resembles high-energy plasma, but it is much more than that.” He looked up, his eyes deep.

"It has been registered as a super life source in the etheric realm."

Possessing 'consciousness' and 'self-evolutionary ability', it is defined by the Central Containment Chamber as an ethereal-level mimicry intelligence.

Its structural features are almost identical to those of a divine unit.

"Our Heavenly Kingdom's 'light body' technology was developed based on it."

"The unfortunate thing is that this thing cannot be quantified, nor can it be easily tamed."

He slowly uttered his conclusion:
"Without a mechanical-divine framework of the level of the Supreme Program or Jormungandr, no one can tame it."

"And the core of [Jormungandr]... is the only container to date that has successfully synchronized with and sealed the 'Spark Consciousness'."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the oracle horn high—

The next instant, a deep blue-white-gold striped lock interface suddenly popped up on the control panel at the deepest part of the cockpit, accompanied by a low-frequency beep that seemed to transcend language and shatter common sense.

It was a sound that the human ear could not fully understand, yet it made all the angels instinctively feel their blood boil and their souls burn.

—That's the spark awakening.

[Spark System: Unlocked]

[Nidhogg-μ Furnace - Synchronization Rate 67%...71%...87%] [Test Complete. Carrier's will is in compliance.]

【Authorization approved.】

[Start conversion——]

In one corner of the control panel, an exceptionally bright aurora curve unfolds in the space, like liquid soul lines, drawing one miraculous structure after another in the body of the train.

The Ninth Hero's eyes burned with fervor, his voice like a burning prayer:

"Now, we can use it."

His gaze never left the battlefield, yet it seemed as if he were whispering:

"Let the Spark System transform that conscious plasma into a striking beam of light."

“This isn’t just a physical bombardment…” he grinned, but his expression was like that of a fanatic. “It’s also very idealistic.”

"The stronger the will, the more powerful the light skill. Heaven has used it to kill many living gods."

"It is because it is too idealistic that it was listed as a...feature weapon."

Having said that, the Ninth Hero sounded the horn from inside the carriage.

A deep, booming sound exploded in the air, like a thunderclap echoing between steel skeletons.

【Jormungandr】The engine cluster deep within the entire machine vibrated violently, and a completely different energy pulse surged into the power system composed of Calamity and Heavenly Fire.

—A spark was ignited.

Jormungandr Spark Mode

[Current Mode: Composite]

[Filling progress: 97%...100%]

[Linked Module: Nidhogg-μ Furnace → Activated]

Immediately following, the entire vehicle vibrated, as if some extremely hot yet precisely controllable consciousness began to climb up the main spine and fill every inch of the divine steel structure.

Right before everyone's eyes, this colossal beast, measuring 3,330 meters in length, began to transform.

Its body was originally armored in alternating colors of holy silver and scorching gold, but now it has a striking red and blue paint scheme, as if flames and turbulent currents resonate on the body, with a layer of seven-colored energy flowing and intertwining on its outer shell like veins.

At the very front of the train's head—that is, the crown of Jormungandr—two symmetrical structures began to slowly unfold.

The seven-colored rainbow wheel device slowly unfolded on both sides of Jormungandr's head, like two eyes opening in the sky—sacred, yet devoid of any pity. Each ring of rainbow was like an independent and closed celestial structure, rotating at different frequencies and high speeds, layering upon each other, yet echoing one another.

Fragments of electricity rippled through the gaps between them, as if awaiting some command to detonate. Meanwhile, the center—the core that held the energy of the entire system—shone silently, like a chasm at the dawn of chaos, brewing a destructive roar.

At this moment, Jormungandr hovered proudly ten thousand meters in the sky, its obsidian-steel-like body shimmering with a red and blue glow amidst the surge of sparking energy. The air was distorted, the clouds had long been torn apart by the explosive force of its ascent, and starlight, as if drawn by a rainbow, converged upon it.

Inside the cockpit, warning lights blared, and a bright red halo appeared in the center of the control panel.

The moment the Spark System was activated, Xia Xiu felt an indescribable light flood his senses.

It wasn't sight or hearing—it was existence itself that was being pulled and plunged into another level of reality.

He seemed to be stripped of his body and thrown into an endless ocean of light.

Time there is flowing glass, space there is woven from will and prayer, light particles pulsate like breathing, floating around him, tiny but energetic orbs of light hover in the void, like stars, like memories, like sparks.

They turned silently, whimpering in his ear like chanting or weeping.

"This is the spark..." Xia Xiu murmured to himself.

A thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, a familiar aura broke through the air from the sea of ​​light.

The Ninth Hero appeared beside him, his expression solemn and dignified. He slowly raised the [Horn of Heaven] in his hand.

At that moment, the entire ocean of light began to tremble.

All the floating orbs of light flew toward him, as if in response to some kind of call. They converged, traversed the void, and headed straight for the horn.

There was no sound, no roar, only an irresistible force.

The next second, in reality.

[Jörmungandr] The massive, mountain-like structure suddenly trembled.

The rainbow wheel device began to operate at an extraordinary frequency, and rainbow light condensed into layers of holy seals in the air, just like a sealing diagram drawn by the gods themselves, spreading out from the center in circles, layered like ripples.

The rainbow-colored locks unfold layer by layer, eventually converging at the core of the seven-color generating device.

The rainbow light began to converge.

Seven colors intertwine and merge, transforming into a spiral energy funnel—a miracle of light and sparks merging.

Then, the core suddenly lit up!
A beam of light shot out from the rainbow generator, piercing through the clouds, tearing through the sky, and plunging straight down.

A beam of light, like a rainbow, pierced straight into the sky.

That was an arrow of destruction formed from seven-colored sparks, the first judgment released by Jormungandr after the Spark System was activated.

It tore through the sky, pierced through the stagnant air, and plummeted straight toward the colossal black figure on the ground.

The terrifying entity standing between heaven and earth seemed to have a premonition. It slowly raised its head, and the "human face" embedded in the crescent moon halo deep in its eye socket remained expressionless, as if it were unmoved by the light that was enough to obliterate a civilized city.

But in the next instant, the beam of light arrived.

A violent impact erupted between the beast's chest and abdomen, and rainbow light shot into its huge abdominal cavity like a drill—it was the [Blackthroat], a rotating black hole-like structure, like the echo of a collapsing universe, resembling the mouth of death that devours everything.

The light did not penetrate it.

However, it was not completely swallowed up.

It was drawn in, but this triggered a terrifying resonance.

Within the beast's belly, a swirling black abyss vibrated violently, strained by the flow of light. The vortex seemed to be emitting some kind of angry howl, its spiral edges torn into vortexes by high-energy rainbow light, like a glutton swallowing blazing flames, its lips barely open, its eyes finally showing the first hint of hesitation.

That was the dulling of pain, the struggle of indigestion.

The beast remained motionless, but the starry sky projection behind it distorted violently.

Inside the cockpit.

The aftershocks of the rainbow light had not yet dissipated, and the enormous energy fluctuations still spread around the distant [Star Beast], as if even reality itself was being distorted and stretched. The reaction lights on the four walls of the cabin flickered violently, and the residual heat of the spark system was being expelled from the train's main engine. The entire [Jormungandr] was like an iron body that had just stepped out of the furnace of the gods, breathing heavily.

Amidst the scorching heat and tremors, the Ninth Hero slowly turned around. The blazing halo behind him rose slowly, and the edges of the halo emitted pulse-like heat waves, like the exhaust flames of an engine, rippling through the cabin.

"The energy consumption of the Spark System... is indeed astonishing." He murmured to himself, then handed the [Heavenly Horn] to Xia Xiu.

“Come here.” The Ninth Hero’s voice was hoarse, but it carried undisguised trust.

“I heard that you possess the [Solar Element], which is the most suitable light vessel configuration for the Spark System. People with this configuration can mobilize stronger Spark sequences.”

He stared into Xia Xiu's eyes and said, "You can try switching the train to [Apollo Helios] mode."

"In this state, its spark beams will undergo a specific transformation, and its own position will also receive a terrifying linear increase."
