Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Oh?"

Hayden was even more bewildered.

Leander said, "The history of the Giants is much longer than you think."

"..."

Hayden couldn't help but shake his head.

That's something he couldn't possibly understand.

As far as he knew, Leander was born much earlier than him.

Leander skillfully operated the equipment in front of him. Once everything was ready, he opened the metal test tube and dripped the drop of blood onto the disc that emitted a blue light.

In the blink of an eye, the disc was dyed bright red.

Even inside the laboratory, a faint buzzing sound could be heard.

Is it time to begin?

Haydn raised his head.

Through this drop of blood, they can successfully awaken that sleeping soul.

But just as things were looking up, Leander suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Hayden asked.

He rarely saw this expression on Leander's face.

"Do not."

Leander walked up to the equipment and stretched out his hands as if he were groping for something.

He touched his mouth and said, "Something's not right. His breathing shouldn't be this weak."

"Hey……"

Hayden called out again, but Leander completely ignored him.

Leander walked around the laboratory a few times, and finally came to the magic circle where he had performed the extraction three days ago.

He took a deep breath and slowly pressed his right hand down.

Close your eyes.

Feel it with your heart.

Inject energy to bring the entire magic array into a coordinated state.

A light rose.

The next second, Leander's eyes widened suddenly.

If the previous failure to extract the item was due to an accident, he can no longer sense the other party's presence at all.

"How could this be?"

Leander was dumbfounded.

What was that device doing just now?

What exactly happened in those short three days?

"Leander".

Haydn gave a soft shout.

Leander composed himself, his anxiety palpable, and said, "I lost my composure."

Unable to perceive.

There are only two possibilities.

It either disappeared or it hid.

Leander ruled out the former possibility.

There are many ways to hide it. You can use a magic circle to conceal it, or you can transfer your soul to other spaces, such as hyperspace or small worlds.

"Could it be that the Giant Spirit Clan discovered the anomaly and secretly tampered with it?"

As Leander was wondering, the communicator in the laboratory suddenly rang.

"It's Chik."

Hayden turned to Leander and said.

"I'll pick it up."

Leander walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Over there, Chick's face betrayed his anxiety.

"Oh no!"

Ok?

Chick explained, "The Cult of Machines has sent people over."

Leander thought of Enron, and then of the exiled empire that stood behind Enron.

He asked, "What are they sending people here for?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but I can say it's related to a junior member of our Giant Spirit Clan."

"..."

A junior member of the Giant Spirit Clan?

Could the failed extraction and weakened aura detected by the equipment be related to this?

Leander replied dismissively, "Let them come."

"But……"

Chick was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead.

You're not in a hurry, but I am!

If the Cult of the Machine God finds out what he did, he'll most likely lose his position as the chieftain of the Giant Spirit Clan.

And the experimental subject will probably become An Qianqian.

But he couldn't tell Leander about this.

Especially after he used his own blood to impersonate the primordial blood.

It's over.

Chick was momentarily flustered.

Leander glanced back at the equipment and said, "Let's talk about everything after the experiment is complete. This is a crucial moment."

Chick sighed inwardly.

There's nothing we can do.

He can only hope that the experiment will be completed successfully.

Once the deed is done, no matter how angry the Mechanical God Cult is, they can't just kill that potential Starfield Overlord directly.

While waiting for the results, Chick stepped forward to greet the psionic war puppets sent by Enron.

He followed nervously beside the psionic war puppet.

Chik became even more nervous after hearing that Anran wanted to catch up with the people from the Originium Worship Society.

"Um...they're in the underground lab right now."

"Then let's go and wait together."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Although the laboratory was heavily guarded, it was ultimately no match for An Ran, the master of machines.

Following the external pipes, the Psionic Eye successfully entered the laboratory.

Anran, far away in the ruins of the Forerunners, finally saw clearly everything that was happening in the laboratory.

In the spacious laboratory, Leander stood blankly in front of a giant race member.

He crossed his arms, seemingly waiting quietly for something.

One second... one minute... three minutes passed.

The giant spirits lying in the glass capsule suddenly opened their eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his pupils.

A smile finally appeared on Leander's face.

But his smile was fleeting, like a flash in the pan.

Leander pointed a finger at the giant race member and shouted, "Who are you?!"

what?

Hayden stared at Leander in astonishment.

what's going on?

The giant clansman did not answer Leander's question directly. Instead, he turned to look at the laboratory door and suddenly shouted in a tone full of grief and indignation, "Bah! Chik, you unfilial descendant! My soul is almost completely dissipated, and you still want to drag me out and whip my corpse!"

Leander clenched his fists, and his body trembled violently.

In a daze, he realized something.

boom!

A grayish-white stream of energy burst forth from his body, and in the blink of an eye, the body of the shouting giant spirit clansman withered and flattened.

He fell to the ground with a thud, lifeless.

Leander turned around and angrily pushed open the laboratory door.

He was about to question Chik sharply when he suddenly noticed Anran's psionic battle puppet.
