Chapter 525 I Can Eat People
The crisis is temporarily over.

But Zhou Yi still felt uneasy.

One transmutator has been arrested, and there are fifteen more in Earth orbit, possibly watching this place.

It's unclear how the White King managed to inspire this group of silent changers.

It actually headed straight for the moon.

Yagami casually said, "Just ask that guy, we'll find out."

"It has been captured by the Twin Towers and is probably being used as an energy source in the gem pool at the bottom. It won't die anytime soon. Don't you have the ability to read gems? You can go there and find out."

Zhou Yi agreed.

Night God once again led him to the surface of the moon, to the smooth plain formed by Krippar rock, where the black and red twin towers still stood quietly.

Zhou Yi's consciousness was immersed in the depths beneath the tower base.

In the gem pool.

He searched with countless perspectives.

soon.

Target locked.

The gem-like body, which has two triangular structures, is now fixed behind a celestial being's body.

It remained motionless. The other celestials had transformed into white gemstones, their energy depleted, while the bifurcated transmutator shone with a brilliant blue light, clearly possessing abundant energy.

Zhou Yi's consciousness drew closer to the imprisoned mutant.

Upon touching it, a vast amount of information unfolded explosively before Zhou Yi's eyes like countless paintings.

His mind went blank for a moment.

After a while.

Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Yagami, standing beside him, looked at him curiously: "Did you notice anything?"

Zhou Yi said, "The situation is basically clear."

"This thing did come after the White King. Its function is to lock onto and capture transmutators that appear on Earth."

"It has extremely strong observational abilities and can infer the circumstances under which a person might evolve into a transmutant based on the existing environment and the individual. Because of the blessing of the Fire-Sculpting Platform, the White King can enter the transmutant stage."

"So after calculating, it locked onto the White King and eventually tracked him down here."

Each of the sixteen Transformers has a duty; this one is a guard.

Talk about it.

Its function is to protect life on Earth.

If an Earth life form evolves into a Transformer, it will teleport it to the area where the Celestials reside. If it is an alien Transformer, it will snipe and capture it; it is a high-level guardian assigned by the Celestials to Earth life.

However, due to the appearance and departure of the White King, this loyal warrior was eaten by the moon.

All I can say is that I wasn't very lucky.

Zhou Yi said with some regret: "Unfortunately, they don't have memory function; they can only execute commands and don't record the whole process."

"So this is ah……"

Yagami listened with a puzzled look: "But I feel that these Transformers are not very smart. They must know their strength. The power on the moon has a natural suppression over them."

"But they still rush over like moths to a flame... Didn't the White King leave Earth? Why are they still chasing after him?"

Zhou Yi didn't know what to say.

The reason is that he has too strong a sense of responsibility.

Just like the Rockcore Clan who accompanied the recorder of the prosthetic leg, the Gem Transmuter is also determined to carry out its mission, even if it means death, in order to fulfill its duty.

The White King quickly moved to the moon, but was still discovered by it because it was too close to Earth.

It aims to further expel dangerous outsiders to ensure the safety of the area around Earth.

Night God asked again, "They are transmuters created by the Celestials, even more advanced than the Gem Giants. Do they contain any information about the Celestials?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "A little."

“In addition to giving them complete commands, the gem transmutator also has a special message left by the Celestial Being. Once activated, it can control them and issue new commands.”

Yagami became interested: "What information?"

Zhou Yi transmitted a lengthy message to Ye Shen through a shared consciousness.

Once this information code is activated through consciousness, the transmutant will respond immediately, complete the subsequent information verification, and then you can manually control the transmutant.

"Wouldn't that mean we could directly control the remaining 15 gem transmuters?"

Yagami's mind suddenly clicked: "Call them all over here, I'm going to capture them all!"

"...I'm sorry, I can't do that."

Zhou Yi smiled wryly: "Each transmutator has its corresponding information code, and it only worked on this one just now. Moreover, after it was captured by the moon, it was installed in the gem pool and is now unable to move."

That's the biggest problem.

We need to bring the mutant here to access the operating codes recorded deep within its body.

But here it becomes a part of the moon. It's like finding a flashlight in the dark, but needing another flashlight to illuminate it for it to light up.

Yagami suggested, "Could we take it out of the jewel pool?"

Zhou Yi shook his head.

The gem pool has a tight structure that can be read and observed, but its internal movement cannot be altered.

Zhou Yi suddenly had a thought.

"I can't, but you might be able to."

"I?"

Yagami pointed to himself.

"Ah."

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "I think your main body is here to observe and guard the Twin Towers. Logically speaking, if the Twin Towers malfunction or are damaged, they should need maintenance. After all, even the sun will age and be destroyed, and the celestial beings at the bottom of the Twin Towers will run out of energy. They are composed of gemstone structures, and they themselves are also susceptible to damage and aging."

"Makes sense."

Yagami seemed thoughtful, then a little troubled: "But I don't remember having this ability."

"The key lies in your true form, in those gem eyes."

Zhou Yi offered his own idea: "Don't you need to connect with your main body to fully unleash your abilities? I remember when I checked the clockwork device before, you also needed a main body. Only you can probably figure out the specifics yourself. You can try developing your own body."

He had always found it strange.

Night God didn't seem to like that gem-like body very much.

She can also be considered a gem life form.

"that is because……"

Yagami hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "If I connect with my main body, my self-awareness will be gradually suppressed, and I will become very strange... It seems that my consciousness is being suppressed by the material side."

"Only by keeping my body dormant and not using it can I remain my true self."

Zhou Yi asked, "Does 'becoming strange' mean that your body makes you do things you don't want to do?"

Yagami remained silent for a while, seemingly reluctant to speak.

Zhou Yi was trying to find a topic to change the subject to avoid an awkward silence.

Unexpectedly, Yagami still gave a positive answer.

"In my fully evolved form, I will eat people."

"eat human?"

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Eat humans?"

"Ah."

Night God lowered his eyes: "I will devour the human lives I like the most, those who are good to me, those I approve of and appreciate, all of which will generate an irresistible and intense appetite for me."

“I will devour them, body and mind together.”

Her face bore a complex mix of embarrassment, resentment, and struggle.

"Once I start moving my body, it's hard for me to control myself."

“A voice inside me told me that humans are meant to be eaten… those people on the ground are food prepared for me.”

Zhou Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

No wonder Yagami looked at him with a dangerous and cold gaze when he was examining the clockwork device; it was the look of someone eyeing food.

She recalled, “When I first came to Earth, believers would offer me human sacrifices. I would eat those humans who were sacrificed, and their bodies and consciousness would become a part of me.”

"Later, I grew to loathe this instinct more and more. More than the guilt of eating people, I resisted becoming a slave to my instinct, like a wild beast, filled with pleasure and madness when eating people, only regaining my rationality after finishing eating, and then feeling a strong sense of guilt. I hate this feeling of being out of control and falling into this state."

“I don’t like physical connection; it controls me instinctively.”

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think, "If you eat people... could it be a special form of evolution for you?"

"The birth of the lunar beasts on the moon was an accident, but humans have existed for many years. In other words, the earliest civilization to cultivate you designed it so that you could acquire their growth and consciousness by eating them, thereby driving your own metabolism?"

"Probably."

Yagami nodded, her expression one of disgust: "But I still hate this process. It feels like I've become a dog, and when someone rings a bell, I drool like crazy."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding.

Nobody wants their life to be planned out entirely, leaving them with no autonomy.

This is a dark chapter in Yagami's history that he doesn't want to face.

Both sides were open and honest with each other, which increased their mutual trust.

Yagami's attitude was firm: "I don't want that."

Zhou Yi also expressed his respect for this.

for safety.

Zhou Yi left the White King on the moon and began constructing the pupil here. The energy on the moon is 81 times that of Earth, and natural resources are extremely abundant. In addition, there is no threat from the Celestials or an existence like the Lord of the Dead Sea, so construction can proceed freely.

So the White King began to work on the surface of the moon.
