246 The Changes of the Metal Shee
As the silver metal sheet floated in the middle of the sky, a transparent white light enveloped it. Many data particles kept jumping around, while laser beams scanned the silver metal sheets one by one. The material, the mysterious words, and the patterns that were found on the metal sheet were all being analyzed.
Judy looked serious and was gesturing with her hands, while her spiritual power penetrated the silver metal sheet. It was much more difficult to analyze the silver metal sheet than she had imagined it would be. Even with the data stored by the Apollo Battleship and the help of powerful brain analysis, it was difficult to make progress.
"It can't be analyzed until the Original Tower Main System is completely restored, and except for me, no one in the entire Blue Star Continent can crack this.." Judy frowned as she continued to work.
"Have you found a way to crack it yet?" Steve asked, a little excited.
"The growth rate of the universe and the mystery of how the countless stars revolve.. This involves calculating the amount of time each star takes to revolve, the magnetic field between the stars, and so on. It's too complicated! I need a lot of supporting data to crack this. I need a little more time," Judy responded softly.
Steve waited quietly instead of pushing her, and at the same time, he was watching Vivien's movements. Since entering the experimental glass lab, Vivien had fallen asleep. There had been no discovery yet.
However, as there were many kinds of rulers of the past, they had known that it would take some time to go through each and every test.
Buzz..
More than ten minutes later, one of the words on the silver metal sheet suddenly lit up like a star. Suddenly, the silver metal sheet expanded several times, increasing from the size of two palms to the size of a tombstone! The text upon it also got bigger.
"It is changing!" Steve was surprised.
"This is just one of the states it will go through when it unlocks a seal. I don't know how many seals are left, and I don't know how many of them I can unlock," Judy responded.
Although the first seal was unsealed, the difficulty level did not decrease, but actually increased! This made Steve very curious.
Half an hour later, Vivien remained physically unchanged, so they continued testing her for the presence of the rulers of the past in the Apollo Battleship.
Buzz..
The silver metal plate lit up, and all of the words on it were glowing. The words started to jump and rearrange in order. The silver metal sheet changed again, as it began to melt like a liquid, gradually changing from the size of a tombstone to a silver water polo ball!
It seemed to contain some kind of intense mystery. It was constantly jumping, rising, and changing into various animals, demons, and more! Judy's face grew more serious as the operations got more difficult. However, as time went by, neither Vivien nor Judy had discovered anything profound.
As Steve waited, he was not standing idly by. Having obtained the final ingredients from the Black Tiger Combat Unit, he started to use this time to refine serums.
The Spiritual Serum was just a pure guess for Steve. As such, he was unsure if it could be refined. While attempting to refine the serum, Steve was also concerned about the situation with Judy and Vivien.
Some time ago, the silver metal plate, which now appeared like water polo balls, had exploded, then quickly condensed into small balls. These balls seemed to resemble the stars of the universe and were revolving in sequence. Some of the balls emitted glowing light, while others were arranged in rings, forming a complex galaxy.
Judy's analysis was becoming more laborious, and it could be seen from her changing facial expressions and constantly waving hands that she was manipulating the position of the stars and the order of the galaxy.
Many hours later..
The silver metal sheet, which had now changed into a galaxy, was starting to change again.
Boom!
Suddenly, the center of the universe collapsed into a huge black hole, which devoured the surrounding planets crazily. It soon grew to the size of an entire galaxy and devoured more smaller galaxies at a lightning-fast rate!
"Oh no, it failed!" Judy was shocked.
"What happens if you fail?" Steve asked anxiously.
"The entire simulated universe will be swallowed up by black holes. Then, it will disappear, leaving nothing behind! It must be a means of self-protection that they left behind, in order to destroy their every trace!" Judy explained.
Steve could not believe that everything, which had been going so smoothly, would suddenly fail at this moment! At this juncture, however, he was still unwilling to abandon all of his previous efforts.
"Is there a remedy?" Steve asked.
Judy shook her head, "It's too late. The self-destructive system has already been activated."
Steve was upset, as he was still somewhat unwilling to give up. After all, this was the only trace of the Mayan civilization that they knew of!
"I know how to save it." The voice of the Heart of the Universe suddenly sounded in Steve's mind.
"What can you do?" Steve asked, while hope filled his heart.
"Maybe you can try this..." the Heart of the Universe said. "Use a sword and slash the black hole with all of your might. Hopefully, that will destroy it."
"Split it? Will that work? Steve asked.
"Give it a try. It just might work," the Heart of the Universe replied.
Steve was silent for a moment, then finally chose to believe in the Heart of the Universe. After all, if nothing was done, the self-exploding system would destroy everything anyway! Since that was the case, Steve chose to give it a try.
"I have a way," Steve said.
"What are you going to do?" Judy was surprised. She wondered what Steve could possibly do.
"Maybe we can try this..." As Steve rushed forward, the mimetic weapon in his hand turned into a sword.
Before Judy could even respond, Steve suddenly slashed the black hole that had swallowed everything. As Judy was shocked by Steve's actions, she shouted, "Are you crazy? Stop it!"
Unfortunately, it was too late to stop him!
Boom!
As Steve's sword slashed the black hole, an explosive sound was heard. Immediately, a huge gap had been torn in the black hole, which caused its engulfing speed to slow down significantly.
Looking at the slashed black hole, Judy suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity..
Crash...
Just as Judy was pondering, the stars of the universe suddenly rushed into the black hole. In the blink of an eye, all of the stars converged and became a silver metal sheet again. However, the words and patterns on the current silver metal sheet had changed significantly.
Boom!
Suddenly, a ray of light arose from the inside of the silver metal sheet, then broke through the seal of the Apollo Battleship and rushed out of the Magical Beast Mountains.
