Colonial Suit

The dance outside continued, with groups of men and women twirling on the dance floor. No one noticed Blood瞳's appearance.

In fact, in this venue filled with upper-class people, an inconspicuous guard like Blood瞳 was too unappealing. No one would pay attention to a guard's figure, even if Blood瞳's temperament was so special.

Casually taking a glass of wine from a passing maid's tray, Blood瞳 leaned against the corner and smiled slightly at Miss Carrie in the distance. He saw Ice had already appeared beside Miss Carrie, so she should already know about his transformation.

Sure enough, Miss Carrie noticed him immediately and gave him a bewitching smile, even waving her hand.

Blood瞳 noticed the fiery desire in her eyes and couldn't help but shake his head slightly before turning and walking towards his room.

Behind him, Miss Carrie's smile instantly froze on her face, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

"Ice."

"Here." Ice appeared behind Carrie, his eyes behind the visor still cold.

"Tell me... why is he always so distant with me? Am I not beautiful?"

"........." Ice remained silent. He really didn't know how to answer such a question.

Carrie, on the other hand, regained her original charm after only asking one question. She lightly slid her finger across her scarlet lips, a hungry look flashing in her eyes. "Hehe... never mind. I won't let him go anyway. He's really... so strong and wild. Do you think... conquering a man like that would be very fulfilling?"

"........." Ice continued to remain silent, the corner of his eye twitching.

"Okay, I know it's useless to talk to you." Carrie stuck out her little tongue and gently licked her finger. The fascination in her eyes gradually dissipated. "You're in charge of the guards. You can ignore the nails left by Mother for now, but I don't want them to affect my life anymore. You know what to do."

"Yes, the Rain Song needs protection, and some guard arrangements will be adjusted."

"Very good." Carrie nodded with satisfaction, but her eyes never left the dance floor. The ball was about to end, and she hadn't found her prey for the night yet...

Seeing Carrie like this, Ice wisely chose to leave. Just as he was leaving, he saw a handsome man in cowboy attire, looking decadent, appear at the edge of the dance floor. Immediately afterward, he noticed Carrie's eyes light up.

"Hehe... looks like he's not bad."

Ice vaguely heard Carrie muttering to herself. He couldn't help but shudder and quickened his pace to leave.

At this time, Blood瞳 had already returned to his room.

With Ice's help, he no longer needed to keep an eye on Carrie all the time, so he had enough free time to do his own thing.

A very important thing.

Randomly calling over a maid, Blood瞳 said calmly, "Get your second steward here for me."

A hint of surprise appeared on the maid's face, but she quickly left. After a while, the second steward hurriedly walked into the room.

Speaking of which, in Miss Carrie's entourage this time, he could be considered second only to her. His power was astonishing. But even so, he didn't dare to neglect Blood瞳 in the slightest because Miss Carrie had already told him that Blood瞳's every need must be met.

The second steward was an old-timer who had been by Miss Carrie's side for a long time, so he naturally knew what this meant. In fact, in Miss Carrie's many years of rule, no one had ever been so valued by her. The second steward naturally didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

So as soon as he entered the room, he respectfully said to Blood瞳, "May I ask what instructions you have, sir?"

"Move these, and these..." Blood瞳 pointed to the furniture and decorations in the room. "Move them all away and fill the room with food and energy blocks."

"Move them all away... fill the room with food and... energy blocks?" The second steward was dumbfounded. He never expected Blood瞳 to make such a strange request.

Okay, moving the furniture away was nothing, after all, guests have their quirks. But filling the room with food and energy blocks... this... are these two things the same concept?

"Is there a problem?" Seeing the second steward's shocked expression, Blood瞳 asked softly.

"Ah... no... no." The second steward immediately reacted and quickly replied.

Although these requests were a bit strange, they were too simple for him. He immediately found some maids to move all the furnishings in the entire room away. Finally, he stood with his hands down and asked, "May I ask, sir, are there any special requirements for the food and energy blocks?"

"Don't worry about the taste. Just make sure the energy is high enough," Blood瞳 said simply.

He naturally had a purpose in saying this. After such a long time of fusion with the colony, he already knew the colony's habits like the back of his hand. Every acquisition of a colony unit would inevitably consume a lot of energy. This energy demand was almost a biological instinctual desire that could not be suppressed or stopped. Even with his willpower, he could only delay it for a while.

In the past, his preparations were mostly insufficient, so every time he activated a unit, he was very embarrassed, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

But this time, he wanted to be prepared.

The colony already had an energy conversion system that could replenish energy through general energy blocks. But this was far from enough because of the colony's special nature, it needed not only energy in the general sense but also biological energy provided by food. These had to be satisfied in advance.

Blood瞳 didn't know what kind of energy his new unit would need, but the more prepared he was, the better.

The second steward's efficiency was very high, so in just a short while, Blood瞳's room underwent a major change. All the furniture and furnishings were completely removed, and every inch of space was filled with food and energy blocks. After everything was completed, Blood瞳 kicked everyone out of the room.

"Have someone seal the door. Don't let anyone in, no matter what sound you hear."

"Yes," the second steward replied respectfully, and then walked out.

The moment the door closed, Blood瞳's pupils contracted, and then he carefully took out the lead box.

It had been a while since he got this thing, but Blood瞳 had never dared to open it.

Because the colony was too special, unlike any current weapon system. It was alive itself. In every cell of the colony, there was a primitive law of the jungle. A user who was not strong enough would not become their master but would instead become prey.

In fact, Blood瞳's current condition was not good. Although there were no abnormalities on the surface, the injuries he suffered in the battle with Lobisk had not yet been eliminated. Neither his body nor his spirit had reached their peak.

Opening the unit in this state was undoubtedly a gamble, so Blood瞳 had delayed it until today.

But now, Blood瞳 couldn't wait any longer. He had to return to his peak state before Miss Carrie toured the Golden Nebula Waterfall in three days.

In the bright light, the lead box gleamed with a cold, dark cyan color. Blood瞳 could even feel its coolness, but the next moment, he opened the lead box.

At the bottom of the lead box was a special unit.

Unlike all the units Blood瞳 had ever seen, this unit was triangular in shape. Most importantly, in the very center of this unit was a spherical crystal that looked like a mixture of gem and metal.

Control hub!

Blood瞳 gasped. Having mastered the colony for so long, he naturally knew what a control hub meant to the colony. Although the bandage merchant had said long ago that this unit had its own will, he still felt a shock when he saw it with his own eyes.

This thing, wouldn't it be the same as the Core?

"Jerome Portable Modulation Device. Uses x72 type miniature autonomous cell group, can have simple logical judgment and calculation ability. Belongs to secondary intelligence. It can not be compared with me." Core's voice suddenly sounded in Blood瞳's mind, cold and mechanical.

However, Blood瞳 could still hear its disdain. He couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't expect an artificial intelligence like Core to have its own pride.

However, after listening to Core's explanation, Blood瞳 became curious and eager to know what this so-called x72 type autonomous cell group was.

His finger gently touched the unit's crystal. In just a moment, the unit unfolded in front of Blood瞳.

As before, a large mass of watery, gelatinous cell tissue spread out from the unit and pounced on Blood瞳. They wriggled, trembled, and squeezed into Blood瞳's body in an extremely rapid manner. Immediately afterward, Blood瞳 felt the familiar sharp pain.

He was already used to this sharp pain. This was the drama that had to be experienced every time a unit was fused. Blood瞳 couldn't figure out why, with such powerful biological technology as Klodil, the host still had to endure such torture. In fact, as long as they wanted to, they could completely cut off all the host's pain nerves and allow the host to complete the fusion comfortably.

But they didn't! They were like stubborn old warriors, constantly making their descendants accept the same torture, again and again, endlessly. It was like forging iron, becoming tough in the hammer and anvil time and time again.

The enhanced cells quickly drilled into Blood瞳's body, and then Blood瞳 groaned and shot out large clouds of blood mist from his pores. In just an instant, his clothes were soaked with blood, and he looked like he had been pulled out of a sea of blood.

But he still stood straight! Like a javelin, firmly nailed to the center of the room!

Come on!!

Let me see! Your true face!!

Blood瞳 roared in his heart, but his expression remained calm as ever. In the blood and pain, his eyes became brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer.

He had never been so calm as he was now, as if the body that was undergoing the torment of pain was not his.

In this state, he suddenly felt that his spirit was also sublimating, rising little by little, as if he had a meaning of detachment from the body. Then, his whole body tightened, and the colony armed itself to his body without warning.

In his calm gaze, a small device fell off from the back of the colony and rolled to the center of the room.

That was actually a... red meatball with colony armor!??!
