The Cost of Salvation

Fujin District, formerly known as Fujin Town, is located in the southernmost part of Morikawa City. Morikawa City is traversed by two rivers, with the largest Longyan River flowing into the sea in Fujin District.

At around 1 o'clock in the morning, a dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared in the direction of the Yueshan Bus Station, slanting towards the sky, shining brightly. In less than a minute, a violent explosion occurred there, lifting sand and stones over ten meters high.

Quickly, a white object fell from the front door of a two-story building located next to Fuxing Avenue in the north of Fujin District. This white bone block was the skeletal giant Anubis that Tom had transformed into.

In the energy room of the mountain crossing base located underground at 51, an explosion shot it into the air like a shell. With the help of Luo Xuan, it slowed down the landing speed, but also flew further and ultimately landed in this rich and prosperous area.

The explosion shattered Anubis below his pelvis, leaving only his upper body shot into the sky. At this moment, when it landed, its entire body was shattered, but thanks to Luo Xuan, all the internal organs of the pathogen, including the brain, were well protected by the crystal energy shield and did not suffer any damage.

The sky is shrouded in dark clouds, and the air is very dull, which is a prelude to heavy rain. Luo Xuan, who crawled out of Anubis's chest, ran to the nearby gate. She used a power cannon to burn a big hole in the wooden gate, then ran over and carefully dragged Anubis inside.

This is a place where people are rarely seen, even before the Miniature Cataclysm. In the eyes of little people, it's dust thick up to the knees, and the spider webs scattered everywhere. After Luo Xuan dragged Anubis deeper into the corner, a dazzling lightning bolt lit up outside the window, and the rolling thunder came from far to near.

The raindrops that were so big on the little person's head quickly fell from the air, one, two, three, or four o'clock, quickly covering the entire world. And Luo Xuan looked at Anubis's half body, with a resolute expression on his face.

After she was ejected by Tom through a secret passage, there was a man and a woman guarding the landing point. She knew both men and women, and the man was Qian Zhiqiang, an executive at the Xinzhou base. Xiao Jingtian, a female, is a senior hunter who is responsible for guiding work outside.

After seeing that it was Luo Xuan who came out, the man and woman became very angry. Xiao Jingtian even shed tears, constantly cursing Tom as a fool and claiming that Luo Xuan's foster parents had turned Tom into a self sacrificing Sabi.

Luo Xuan usually heard Du Kang mention that there is a group of remaining evils within the Darwin Order. They appear to be attached to the Order on the surface, but they do foolish things that violate Darwin's natural evolution laws.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, natural selection of the fittest, and the law of the fittest are the beliefs of the religious order. As an important armed organization of the religious order, the selection of the fittest is named after the principle of natural selection of the fittest. Its daily activities also advocate for the law of the fittest, which is different from Luo Xuan's master's militaristic philosophy.

Wuwu believes that the core of a strong person is to enhance their original intention. The strength of most people in the Heaven Selection Society relies on the crystal technology reserves obtained in advance by the cultivator to transform their body and obtain special abilities. Athletes who seize the opportunity to run are not considered strong. After all, Miyamoto only made the most basic crystal technology modifications, relying solely on his warrior's heart to fight, but he is the strongest person in the Morikawa City Sky Selection Club.

At this point, the concept of militarism is quite similar to this group of remnants. The monastery has built countless "redemption shelters" around the world, and the remaining sins have secretly built secret exchange rooms in the shelters. The purpose of building a shelter in a religious order is to provide survivors with breathing space in endless battles, ensuring that they can survive until the day when they evolve stronger.

However, the hidden exchange room of the remaining sins encourages survivors to help and rescue more people, rewarding points on the basis of receiving gratitude from others. Through these points exchanged for various crystal techniques accumulated over the years by the monastery, survivors can use these techniques to arm themselves and their companions, thus surviving and rescuing more people.

As a thug in the religious order, one of the important goals of the Tianxuan Society is to crack down on the remaining traitors within the order. As an outstanding fighter of the Southeast Area's Tianxuan Society, Luo Xuan has also participated in several campaigns to eliminate the remaining evils after the micro disaster.

Now, outside the escape pod given to her by her brother, she is actually facing the remnants of evil, which makes Luo Xuan very happy.

She requested that Qian Zhiqiang and Xiao Jingtian help her return to the Yueshan Base to save Tom. Qian Zhiqiang first expressed helplessness, and finally Xiao Jingtian told her that if she wanted to save Tom, she could only execute Plan B. Before the time came, Luo Xuan could not enter.

Luo Xuan knew that Tom was going to be transformed into a skeletal giant, so she was extremely anxious and hoped to return to the base immediately to prevent them from transforming Tom. However, Xiao Jingtian warned her that in the base at this time, Du Kang was preparing a trap and waiting for Luo Xuan to fall into it. To save Tom, one must wait for the opportunity. Once Luo Xuan is captured and devoured by Du Kang in advance, they have no choice but to save Tom. Because Luo Xuan is their strongest combat power, without him, they cannot save Tom.

Xiao Jingtian was not exposed inside the base. She quietly exchanged with a nurse and participated in assisting director Sun Qiankun in the surgery to transform Tom into a skeletal giant. She secretly replaced some of the injections injected into Tom's body, helping him quietly generate a small organ called "crystal brain" that can regulate the body's crystal energy. This is an experimental product of the Darwin Order that is still being experimented with, and it is a technology obtained by Qian Zhiqiang and his team.

The fact has proven that this technology is very successful. Although Tom's transformation into the skeletal giant Anubis has not yet been completed, he can transmit his mind control power from the bones to various parts of the body through his crystal brain, thereby achieving control over the body. Under the arrangement of Qian Zhiqiang, Luo Xuan was exposed the day before Sun Qiankun was preparing to completely erase Tom's memory and consciousness, and was captured by Du Kang.

Due to Xiao Jingtian's secret brainwashing suggestion to Sun Qiankun, he immediately approached Du Kang, hoping that Du Kang would postpone the time of devouring Luo Xuan's crystal nucleus to the next day in front of Anubis. This would strike Tom's spirit and cause him to collapse, making Sun Qiankun's process of erasing consciousness smoother and increasing Anubis's synchronization rate.

Du Kang adopted Sun Qiankun's opinion, which led to today's scene. And Wen Sitian's puppet doubles were used to bear the consequences of Luo Xuan's exposure. While numbing Du Kang, they also allowed Chen Youyou, who had been coveting Wen Sitian's crystal nucleus, to successfully devour an etched crystal nucleus and indirectly transmit it to Du Kang. At critical moments, Qian Zhiqiang can detonate the etched crystal nuclei of the two, causing them to undergo a crystal etching reaction and paralyzing Du Kang's crystal nucleus, temporarily! Abolish the strongest combat power of Tianxuan.

Tom was transformed into a 75 centimeter tall skeletal giant, and this transformation is generally irreversible. This means that even if Tom retains his mind, he will still be like this in the future. This is not bad, after all, our centimeter figurines have become giants of 75 centimeters, and there are also various conveniences in the end of miniaturization.

However, it is unknown whether it is due to the miniaturization effect. After the miniaturized person's body size reaches a certain level, as long as it exceeds a month, he will become irrational, just like a zombie transformed from an erosion reaction, but this is a tall zombie.

So the Tianxuan Meeting came up with this compromise, erasing the consciousness of the skeletal giant and allowing the unconscious tall body to be driven by a small person.

Although Tom has become a 75 centimeter tall Anubis, he will soon become a zombie, and the result is still the same. The only way for Luo Xuan to keep him is to transform him back into a small person who is 7 centimeters tall.

Only the 12 divine sons in the Darwin Order can achieve the ability to retreat from a tall skeletal giant to an average human height. As members of the land fish hermit sect who opposed the religious order, they naturally stole this technology, but ordinary evolutionists cannot transform back into humanoid form through this technology, and even if they possess this technology, it is useless.

However, Du Kang's description of Tom as "his godson" is not an adjective or an exaggeration. Tom's physique is indeed very familiar with the Twelve Gods. If it weren't for detailed information about Tom, confirming that he had been wandering outside from childhood to adulthood, Du Kang would even suspect that Tom was the 13th godson secretly cultivated within the monastery.

Preliminary experiments have shown that this miniaturization technique works for Tom, but the cost is to use a 4th level Evolutioner's crystal nucleus as food for the Divine Son to devour.

Currently, there are only 6 people in Morikawa City who have reached the level 4 Evolutioner standard, except for Takeshi and Dukang. One of them is Luo Xuan.

Evolutioners who have lost their crystal nuclei will die. In Zhang Meng's mutant camp, Yu Liangjun devoured his core and awakened Tom's self-healing ability, at the cost of Yu Liangjun's own death.

Even strong individuals like Du Kang will die after losing their crystal nucleus. The higher the level of evolution, the more tragic the death will be. Because the higher the degree of evolution, the stronger the various abilities of the body, and the more crystal energy is contained in the body, it is necessary to extract and exchange crystal energy from various parts of the body at the moment of crystal nucleus extraction. Once the crystal nucleus is gone, these crystal energies will ravage and destroy within the body.

He only has martial arts skills, and his willpower is extremely strong. He uses the crystal core inside his body as internal energy and true qi in martial arts and fantasy novels to regulate his thoughts, so his demand for crystal core is very low. Even without crystal core, he is still very strong.

Such a person, even if other evolutionists have the ability and conditions, it is useless to devour their crystal nucleus. On the contrary, it is Luo Xuan, whose crystal nucleus has enormous potential and can be greatly improved after being devoured.

But because she has been following the martial arts path since the beginning, she also has a good control over the operation of the crystal nucleus in her body. Even if the crystal nucleus is presented, it still has the ability to suppress the crystal energy in the body.

Just losing her crystal nucleus, if she wants to survive, she has to devote all her energy to suppressing crystal energy, which will make her fall asleep like a vegetable.

This is also the reason why Wen Sitian and Qian Zhiqiang knew about this method but refused to mention it. Wen Sitian was unwilling to let Luo Xuan take risks, while Qian Zhiqiang was unwilling to let the Hidden Cultivation Society lose such a powerful combat power. Because it cannot be guaranteed 100% that after Luo Xuan donates the crystal nucleus, she has not yet stabilized the flow of crystal energy in her body.

It was Tian Niu who broke this veil. If Qian Zhiqiang didn't help her at this time, Luo Xuan would definitely not help his hermit sect anymore, and even hate the hermit sect.

Brother, I will save you, just like you risked everything to save me! Afterwards, I'll ask you to take care of my sister's health! " Luo Xuan looked at the bony giant who had lost her head and slowly inserted her hand into her abdomen, touching the constantly pulsating crystal nucleus inside her body.
