I Can Program My Body?

Turning toward the runic commands he had already mastered, Nash couldn't help but frown.

"Just over 230 thousand…"

By his estimate, there should be over three million runic commands making up his physical body.

As for his soul, although he couldn't ascertain the number, it should be over ten million.

The speed at which the [Runic Analysis Module System] deduced and analyzed the runic commands in his body was only at a rate of 150 per day.

At such a speed, it would take him over 50 years just to master the runic commands making up his body, much less his soul.

Fortunately, there was a solution.

As long as he had enough computational power, the rate at which he could comprehend runic commands would skyrocket.

From the baseline of 150, for every 100 million in calculation power, the rate would double.

This meant that with 1 billion calculation power, he would need only 5 years to master all 3 million runic commands, while 5 billion calculation power would take just over a year.

"Not bad…" Nash finally smiled.

Although he currently had just over 6 billion computational power, it wouldn't stay that way for long.

Nash was already refining the quality of the soul-tempering manual with the [Library Module System].

Given a month or two, he should perfect the soul-tempering manual, boosting his soul-tempering amplification from 30 to 100.

Coupled with the amplification of the shelter buff, his computational power could skyrocket to over tens of billions!

"Mastering all these runic commands is just a matter of time..."

Soon, as Nash emerged from his residence, the seeded talents around him began to gather.

"Leader Noir, you're finally out!"

"Have you finished your work, Leader?"

"Hmm, it's time for the shelter to level up," Nash said with a smile.

Initially, he had planned to initiate the trial for the shelter a month ago to receive the recognition of the void administrator.

However, because he was preoccupied with creating the runic module system, he delayed it for a short while.

"Call everyone to prepare. It's time for us to face another dark beast tide…"

---

Soon, all the talents exploring, hunting, and collecting materials returned to the center of the shelter.

Turning toward Nash, they couldn't help but feel nervous yet filled with anticipation deep in their hearts.

Having been in the dark plane for over four months, they felt a bit bored.

With the [Team Module System], they didn't sense any real danger, making the training somewhat dull.

Although they felt fear at the coming dark beast tide, it was overshadowed by anticipation for a thrilling fight.

Furthermore, there were the merits, treasures, and buffs they could earn from the dark beasts and the shelter's advancement.

Although they couldn't absorb 100% of the buff like Nash, based on their contributions, they could still gain 10–70%!

Especially the top talents among them, Natasha, Hobis, Skylar, and the Void Generals, felt their souls enhanced by 50 to 70 times, accelerating their advancement.

Eager to gain another buff to strengthen themselves, they couldn't wait for the shelter to advance to the next level.

"Next, we'll discuss our defensive plan."

"For this fight, all those below Void General rank will be evenly divided into four groups."

"Meanwhile, Natasha, Hobis, Skylar, the Void Generals, and I will form a special response team to handle any unforeseen circumstances."

"Furthermore, unlike before, you are not allowed to clash head-on with the dark beasts. You must wait until we clear out the stronger dark beasts before engaging."

"Understood?"

"Yes, Leader!" all the seeded talents nodded.

They had discussed this plan some time ago, but because it was delayed, Nash reiterated it.

Seeing that everyone had no further questions, Nash began deploying them to defend the corresponding walls.

"Boss, can I join your special response team?" William asked, eager to experience a real battle.

Clearing out weak dark beasts was no longer enough to satisfy his thirst for battle.

Just a week ago, he had fought a tier 5 mutated dark beast with over a billion in combat power and won. How could he be satisfied with those hundred-million-odd ones?

"Alright, you can join us," Nash nodded, aware of William's battle record.

Possessing tier 4 runic armor and weapons, their current realm was insignificant.

Though weaker than those at higher realms, they weren't too far off.

With enough will and fighting skill, they could even surpass the combat power of Void Generals.

As for true Void Venerates, it was somewhat impossible.

The power of elements was not something that runic items, which provided only raw power, could bridge.

Meanwhile, seeing Nash agree to include William, the other seeded talents suddenly stopped, looking back towards him.

"If you've defeated a dark beast with over 1 billion combat power, you can join us too," Nash said, reading their thoughts.

"Haha, Captain, it seems I can join you!" Van Gage muttered.

Having awakened a genetic ability, his combat prowess was also impressive.

Though he struggled to kill a dark beast with over 1 billion combat power, he had still succeeded.

"Me too. It seems I can experience the leaders' power up close," another talent added.

Soon, one after another, top-seeded talents joined the special response group.

While most didn't crave such life-or-death battles, who wouldn't want to prove their ability to their superiors?

It might solidify their position in the group for the coming cosmic competition.

"Honey, I'll join you too!" Camilla lunged, grabbing one of Nash's arms.

"Be good, and don't be too reckless later, okay?" Nash said with a frown.

Camilla's fighting tactics were too wild.

Exchanging strike for strike, she was one of the most efficient at killing dark beasts.

As long as the void crystals in her storage item didn't run out, she was practically immortal.

Soon, after the special team grew to over 50 members, the rest were divided into different teams to defend their assigned areas.

Meanwhile, Nash turned toward the shelter's buildable structures, most importantly, the wall.

To protect the shelter from the coming dark beast tide, it had to be tougher, higher, wider, and larger!

Spending 70 trillion on the wall, 30 trillion on the defensive fort, and over 10 trillion on supporting facilities, the shelter began to shake.
