The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 266 Research
Soon, under the Nova Corps's methodical and extremely swift attack, the aggressive invading army was defeated like a tide.

As for the invading army, having suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with Weiss, and facing the difficulties of internal command chaos and disunity, they were now completely unable to fight back against the fierce offensive of the Nova Corps.

Weiss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Nova Corps had successfully driven the invading army off the planet.

This invasion crisis was deliberately brought about by himself. Although the purpose was to deal with those enemies who coveted the Power Stone, fortunately it did not cause too many casualties in the end. This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

He took a look at Ebony Maw, Ronan, Black Dwarf and Nebula who were bound by his magic, and took them back to the Mage Tower.

Weiss walked straight into a room dedicated to research and first placed Nebula roughly on the dissection table.

Xingyun was filled with fear at this moment, and her eyes were extremely panicked.

The cyborg body twisted constantly on the dissection table, making a slight metallic collision sound.

However, Weiss didn't consider her feelings.

In his eyes, Nebula is just a research object with a special body structure.

Weiss reached out and slowly rubbed his hand over Nebula's body.

His fingers gently slid across Xingyun's cold skin, but he could not feel any body temperature. He only felt a cold metallic texture wherever he touched.

Wherever you look, some places still bear clear traces of transformation. Those traces, deep or shallow, seem to be silently telling the painful transformation process that the nebula has experienced.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to explore the internal structure of Nebula's body.

It can be clearly seen that many organs in Nebula's body have been replaced by various machines.

Nebula's body structure is extremely special. She can even survive after being broken down into a pile of parts.

Each part seems to have a unique function in her body, but none of them is indispensable, because if any part is damaged, it can be replaced with a new one.

Theoretically, with such a magical body structure, Nebula has almost achieved immortality.

This form of existence of "weak flesh and mechanical ascension" is undoubtedly a unique evolutionary direction, which breaks the cognitive limitations of conventional organisms on life and body.

However, this kind of evolution is not what Weiss pursues.

In his view, the mystery of life has deeper and more diverse connotations, and cannot be fully interpreted simply by mechanical replacement and splicing.

He shook his head slightly, then tossed the nebula aside casually as if it were a disposable item, and began to focus his attention on Ebony Maw.

Ebonymaw has a strange octopus face with oddly distributed facial features and a pair of eyes that are cunning and deep.

Ebony Maw belongs to a highly evolved cosmic race.

This race of theirs has undergone countless transformations and developments in the long evolution of the universe, and has gradually formed an extremely unique and complex life system.

They possess highly developed intelligence and physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary races. They possess not only strong adaptability but also unique innate abilities, such as Ebony Maw's telekinesis, which allows him to manipulate objects with the power of his mind, unleashing unexpected effects in combat. Weiss stood at the dissection table with a focused expression, his eyes revealing a deep thirst for unknown knowledge.

At this moment, the bound Ebony Maw lay there without any resistance, like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Weiss slowly stretched out his hand, his movements gentle but with an unquestionable determination, and gently opened the strange head of Ebony Maw.

As the head was slowly opened, Ebony Maw's brain hidden inside appeared before Wes's eyes.

The brain was not very big, only the size of a fist, but it emitted a faint green light, which looked particularly strange in the dim autopsy room.

Weiss narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the brain that emitted a mysterious light, secretly marveling at the peculiar structure of the cosmic race.

Then, Weiss carefully picked up the wand in his hand.

He gently brought his wand close to Ebony Maw's brain, as if he were touching a treasure that was both extremely precious and extremely fragile.

At the moment when the magic wand was about to touch the brain, Weiss uttered a word softly: "Analysis".

Following this low hum, a soft magical light instantly burst out from the wand. The light slowly enveloped Ebony Maw's brain and began to use the power of magic to deeply analyze the structure of his brain.

Weiss stared intently at the scene before him, not missing any possible details.

After a long time, the magical light gradually dimmed, which meant that the analysis of the brain structure had been completed.

Weiss exhaled softly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

He then skillfully took out a special storage container and carefully placed Ebony Maw's brain in it, ensuring that the brain could be properly preserved for further research in the future.

As for Ebony Maw, the moment his brain was taken out by Wes, his body trembled violently and then he stopped breathing completely.

The great man who once left the evil name of Black Tongue in the universe with his powerful telekinesis and cunning wisdom ended his life quietly at this moment and became a victim of Weiss's exploration of knowledge.

After dealing with Ebony Maw, Weiss's gaze fell on Ronan, who was also tied up.

Ronan, the once majestic accuser, is also a well-known figure in the universe. His tall and mighty body and the powerful hammer in his hand have made countless people afraid.

However, at this moment, in Weiss's eyes, he was just a material for research.

Wes didn't hesitate at all and started to dissect Ronan again in the same methodical way as before.

He first carefully examined the external structure of Ronan's body, recording every unique feature, and then slowly picked up the tools and began to explore the mysteries inside his body.

After a detailed dissection, Weiss also carefully preserved Ronan's body. In his opinion, the body structures of these people from different cosmic races may provide important clues for him to unlock the mysteries of cosmic life.
