Chapter 646: 646
After lightning, a powerful wind came in like a storm . After that, the earth or rather, the ice around her began to shake violently . Everything around her was turbulent and it did not stop there . The area of the devastation was expanding by the second and Jiang Fei was only able to escape with 0541 directing him . The catastrophic event lasted for 2 hours and Jiang Fei had to move 5 kilometers away .
After the storm had ended, Jiang Fei returned to the origin, where Phoenix’s body laid motionless . Even though she had caused all the destruction, she was lying on a block of ice, floating in the frigid cold sea . She looked calm and peaceful, like a sleeping beauty .
“0541, can you explain her death?” said Jiang Fei . It was only then when he realized that everything that happened to her was unexplainable . How could she, a Level 5 ultimate Metahuman could die by her own hands?
“Her death was already determined,” said 0541 with a heavy sigh .
“Determined? By who? Who caused that?” asked Jiang Fei without expecting an answer .
It was said that Level 5 Metahumans were so powerful that they could find ways to extend their lifespans by up to a thousand years! However, that only applies to a natural Level 5 . Phoenix was originally just Jenny, a normal Level 3 Metahuman . If there was someone to blame, it was the Japanese . They had toyed with things that they did not fully understand . They had only touched the surface of Planet Namek’s technology and made an imperfect Level 5 Bio-Human .
Phoenix may appear powerful, but the energy that was injected into her was killing her slowly . It was only due to her powerful determination, that she was kept alive, till now . That was why she sometimes lost her powers and Jenny’s memories came surging back into her mind .
0541 explained that Phoenix had died by her own hands . There were so many things that were happening at the same time and it proved too much for Phoenix to handle . First, she had conflicting personalities inside her mind . Just as she could hold onto her own conscience, she was barely able to hold the false power that was inside her . As soon as both consciousnesses were gone, there was nothing holding back the power that did not belong to her . At that moment, everything went out of control . Right now, she was dead . Both Jenny and Phoenix .
“I shall give her a proper burial,” said Jiang Fei as he picked up Phoenix’s cold body .
“Captain . If I may . You must not waste such a precious specimen!” said 0541 . He wanted to make use of Phoenix’s body since she had offered herself to Jiang Fei .
The truth was that 0541 could have saved Phoenix before she gave up the will to live . However, 0541’s thinking was different from regular humans . It was without emotions . 0541 had only prioritized the survivability of its captain . At that critical moment, 0541 decided to allow Phoenix to die since it could make good use of her dead body .
However, if 0541 did not stop Jiang Fei from burying Phoenix, 0541 would have lost the body of a Level 5 Metahuman! Not only did Jiang Fei lose a powerful trump card, but 0541 would also lose that body of hers to make a Level 5 Bio-Human!
“I will NOT allow you to use her as an ingredient!” Jiang Fei roared from the top of his lungs .
“Captain, I never said anything about using her to make anything!”
“Whatever, I’m sure you are going to use her to make something else,” Jiang Fei snarled .
“Captain, did you forget the main purpose of finding the Main Engine of Braveheart?”
“To make a Level 5 body for Isabella to live again!” cried Jiang Fei instantly .
“That is correct . So, what are you holding so dearly in your hands? Why are you hesitating to revive Isabella?” said 0541 .
“No… But…” Jiang Fei fumbled with his words . He wanted to revive Isabella, but he did not want to use his friend’s body .
“Captain . If I recall correctly, Phoenix herself gave you her consent to use her body as you see fit . It is not that I want to use her body for something else but… Think of it this way, we are trying to give her a chance to live again . Only differently . Humans could save other humans even after death . It is called organ donation . Phoenix did the best she could . She donated her entire body!” said 0541 . It was his plan all along . Lying about helping Phoenix was the first move of his chessboard and this was the final decisive step . If Jiang Fei did not give his permission, 0541 would lose the huge opportunity to best support Jiang Fei! It went against its protocol as a Captain’s supporting system!
“Saving someone else…” Jiang Fei muttered .
Jiang Fei thought that 0541 advice was right . 0541 was not going to destroy her body to make potion, it was trying to save Isabella’s by transplanting her soul into the body of Phoenix! It was indeed a means of saving… Perhaps, by doing so, he was doing a favor for the late Phoenix .
“Very well, what is the next step to revive Isabella?” said Jiang Fei after he had given enough thought . In the end, Isabella was too important for Jiang Fei to lose .
“Captain . I suggest we revive Ariel first instead of Isabella!” said 0541 . It was intentional . 0541 only used Isabella as a means to persuade Jiang Fei to use the body of Phoenix . Now that he had come to terms in using her body, 0541 then changed the direction of his plan .
“Huh? Why is that?” Jiang Fei was genuinely confused . Given the circumstances, he would want to revive Isabella first!
“Captain, Phoenix had only just reborn into a Level 5 body . In fact, she was reborn into a body with many defects and flaws . Given that I have the Medical Bay, I can fix the defects, but I cannot further enhance her potential . She will forever be stuck in a body that would never progress further than the Beginner stage of Level 5,” 0541 explained .
“Make sense,” said Jiang Fei as he nodded . The Japanese had not perfected that technology and anything that they made was faulty from the start!
“Captain, the reason I have suggested we revive Ariel first is to find a perfect body for Isabella . Since Phoenix’s main attribute was lightning and psychic attacks, this body of hers would fit Ariel perfectly . Phoenix’s body was not suitable for close quarter combat, which is Isabella’s forte . It would be a waste to let Isabella take Phoenix’s body!”
“Ah… I see . ”
0541’s plan was a success . Jiang Fei was fully convinced to use Phoenix’s body to revive Ariel . It was far easier to convince Jiang Fei step by step instead of jumping straight to the point . If he had initially persuaded Jiang Fei to revive Ariel, he might reject that notion and even the idea of using Phoenix’s body!
“Captain, do not forget that we still have a Level 5 Alien Beast in our hands! If you revive Ariel first, we would have a Level 5 supporter! With her and the Zhanlu Sword, she would easily slice off a huge chunk of flesh from the Level 5 Alien Beast! With the super regeneration, the Alien Beast is an unending source of Level 5 material! When we find the Main Engine room, we could technically create the true, perfected Level 5 body for Isabell!”
“That’s… True…! Very well, I’ll heed your advice,” said Jiang Fei . Even though he was not doing a favor for Ariel, she was still able to survive with Phoenix’s body! It was all because Jiang Fei had prioritized Isabella above anyone else!
