Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 593: Chapter 592: Energy Body Life

After wandering around the lab for a while, Jiang Li noticed that only a small portion of the harvested Star Nucleus was being used for scientific experiments.

“I saw Meteor Corporation mine tons of Star Nucleus when the star exploded. Where are all those Star Nucleus being used? In manufacturing?”

Kong One shook his head: “I heard that the three Dominators need Star Nucleus for their experiments. Most of the Star Nucleus has been transported to the Three Mother Stars.”

“What kind of experiment are the Dominators conducting?”

“That, I don’t know. The Dominators study much more advanced content than we do. The function of the Star Nucleus is beyond our understanding. They might be researching how to deal with the big devil. It could also be something else, like time.”

“Time? Can you give more details?” Jiang Li was surprised.

“This is just what my dad mentioned once, something about the Dominators studying a concept called the River of Time. He also mentioned that each world has a corresponding river and that this River of Time exists in another dimensional world.”

Kong One scratched his head, gave an embarrassed smile: “The knowledge this involves is profound, only the Dominators can understand and research it.”

But he quickly found a reason for his lack of understanding: “After all, the three Dominators are the oldest living beings and their realm is beyond the Body Integration Realm. It’s totally normal for me not to comprehend their research.”

The three exchanged wary glances. This world was truly extraordinary.

“Maybe the Dominators know more about the way of time than you do.” Bai Hongtu grinned.

“You’re talking as if you know the way of time.” Jiang Li ignored Bai Hongtu’s childish provocation.

“Why wouldn’t I? I can foresee that you’re going to kick me in a few seconds.” Bai Hongtu claimed to see the future.

“As you wish.”

Bai Hongtu received a merciless kick from Jiang Li.

Jiang Li admitted that Bai Hongtu knew the way of time.

Yu Yin held her forehead, thinking that the mental age of these two guys added together wouldn’t exceed ten.

“Quit the nonsense.”

“Yes, sir.”

The two men solemnly obeyed, resuming their duties of cleaning up.

Finally, under the guidance of Kong One, the trio dodged numerous obstacles to reach the top-level secret room.

“According to the information, there are many secrets within this computer.”

Kong One’s eyes issued a green beam, scanning the computer. His ten fingers spread out, extending numerous antennae into the computer’s ports, hacking into the internal network.

Jiang Li had immediately realized that Kong One’s whole body was remodeled, powered by nuclear energy while retaining a humanoid appearance. According to the power levels of this world, he was at the Nascent Soul Stage with nuclear power.

“I rank in the top ten of hacker techniques throughout the Ninth Mother Star,” Kong One boasted.

Being in the top ten meant ranking between sixth and tenth.

Kong One quickly cracked the complex secret, accessed the computer, and started searching for information about the Star Weapon.

But he found nothing.

Suddenly, the computer displayed a blue screen, and none of Kong One’s attempts to fix it worked.

“Kong One, don’t dig anymore.” A voice emanated from behind the four of them, right from the computer he was controlling.

If Kong One’s hacker technique ranked tenth globally, the newcomer was the global number one.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m the CEO of Meteor Corporation.” The newcomer was courteous, treating Jiang Li and the others as entities of equal rank.

“Uncle…” Being caught by the CEO of Meteor, Kong One was somewhat disheartened.

His uncle, a supreme entity of Body Integration Realm with unified four fundamental forces, was impossible to escape from.

Kong One thought he was having good luck all this while, arriving at the most confidential location of Meteor Corporation unnoticed.

Little did he know that it was merely with the silent consent of the CEO of the Meteor Corporation.

“I apologize for conducting this childish investigation with the kid. Kong One’s father is a member of the Council and my closest friend,” the CEO of Meteor, said apologetically.

“I’ve always been advising Kong One not to investigate this matter, yet he wouldn’t listen.”

“Out of helplessness, I let him investigate our corporation to discourage him.”

It would be more apt to describe the CEO of Meteor as a cyan-blue energy entity rather than a person.

Several small bubbles were circulating in his cyan energy body, constantly changing their internal form to maintain optimum conditions.

“Energy body?” After inspecting with his divine sense, Jiang Li found that the CEO of Meteor’s body doesn’t belong to any known energy types, he was likely a product of this world’s technology.

“Energy bodies are common, whereas entities like the three of you, with physical forms, are rare.”

Through surveillance, the CEO of Meteor saw the forms of Jiang Li and the others, initially assuming they were energy bodies cloaked as flesh ones. But after a closer look, he realized his grievous mistake, they were carbon-based life forms.

“I wonder which part of the universe the three of you hail from, and which Dominator you serve. Perhaps we are serving the same Dominator.” The CEO of Meteor was trying to get closer to Jiang Li and the others.

“Were you promoted by Dominator of Entropy Increase, Dominator of Entropy Decrease, or Dominator of Entropy Equilibrium?”

In this world, anyone aiming to promote to the Body Integration Realm needs the help of the three Dominators. The CEO of the Meteor Corporation assumed the same was true for the three in front of him.

“What if I told you we are from another world?”

“Haha, Mr. Jiang Li, you have such a sense of humor. The only beings from another world are the big devils, they are not sensible beings like you.”

Seeing the three did not wish to discuss their origin, the CEO of the Meteor Corporation did not press on. He shifted his attention to Kong One.

“Kong One, I’ve said it many times, there is no information regarding the Star Weapon here. Why don’t you believe me?” The CEO of Meteor shook his head amusedly, Kong One had never been this mischievous before.

“But this planet really has been transformed into a weapon…”

“Shut up! Don’t speak such nonsense!” The CEO of Meteor abruptly changed his gentle tone, and scolded harshly. His body rippled, indicating his emotional turmoil.

The CEO of Meteor’s expression revealed nothing, as an energy body doesn’t show emotions on their face, but from his voice, it was clear that he was extremely tense.

Jiang Li understood immediately, the only thing that could make the CEO of Meteor tense to this extent was the close relationship between the Star Weapon and the three Dominators. Perhaps they are the ones behind it all.

The CEO of Meteor, who has no vocal cords but speaks using electromagnetic power, replied: “When we were promoting to the Body-melding Stage, the three Dominators warned us not to reveal anything about the Star Weapon. You are very bold to play around with this kid, aren’t you afraid the Dominators will investigate?”

Jiang Li felt like having fun, so he, too, echoed the CEO of Meteor using electromagnetic activity, “Don’t worry, the Dominators are aware of everything. Since they have not stopped us, it means we have their consent.”

The CEO of Meteor truly admired their courage.

Observers value and pursue rationality, yet all he saw in these three was courage.

“But why do you think the planet has been transformed into a weapon?” The CEO of Meteor was puzzled. This was something even Kong One’s father didn’t know. Apart from himself, no one else on the Ninth Mother Star knew this secret. How could Kong One know?

“An officer named Du Ye told me. He said all Mother Stars have been transformed into weapons.”

“What?”

This time, it was Jiang Li and the others who were surprised.
