Work Prophet-Chapter 894 - 59: Battery

"But reaching the new world is not an easy task," Hephaestus said.

"Do you remember our conversation when you joined? I lied to you a little, but I didn't deceive you theoretically.

"I said—the captain is the key to all of this. Only a very small number of people in this world have the ability to cross universes, from one universe to another.

"We have selected less than two hundred people with such abilities among over eight billion people, and some of them are unable to perform this task due to factors like age, physical, and mental illnesses.

"The final candidates are only ninety-two. Opening a plane is an extremely dangerous task, not everyone has immortality like you, even though we have trained most of them and provided as much assistance as possible.

"But only twenty-six are still alive now, with a mortality rate of over seventy percent."

"Human life is very fragile," Robbin said, "that's also why your appearance makes us so excited."

"What should I do?" Li Yu asked, "Each time I go to another plane, I can only carry no more than 5 kilograms of weight, I'm afraid I won't be able to take such a big office building with me."

"No, at that time, you just need to stay in this building. We can use the power of faith to open a route in the Sea of Planes. You just need to follow my instructions, and you can lead us to that new world.

"However, the power of faith needed to open the route is massive, far beyond our current reserves. We have to use some special means."

After speaking, Robbin took Li Yu out of Laboratory No. 1 and went to Laboratory No. 2 at the other end of the corridor.

Unlike the array of devices in Laboratory No. 1, the objects in Laboratory No. 2 seemed much fewer, yet the scene inside was more solemn and eerie.

A headless giant, over a dozen meters tall, lay on a stainless steel bed, his body full of various tubes, large and small.

Those tubes spread throughout the room like a spider's web, filled with semi-solid, semi-liquid silver strands.

Upon closer inspection, those silver strands appeared to be writhing, as if alive.

"This is the energy source of the Ark, you can also call it a battery. The faith produced by the business department usually converges here in the end."

As Robbin spoke, he picked up a silver strand with tweezers and placed it on Li Yu's hand.

The result was that the silver strand immediately sank into the palm of Li Yu's hand, and at the same time, an old and unfamiliar voice came to his ear.

"Great Agricultural God Gargelus, please bless my fields with favorable weather and a bountiful harvest in the coming year. This is my offering..."

The voice gradually faded away, and Li Yu checked his body, finding no changes.

"Is this faith?"

"Exactly. It is the only energy in all the universe planes that can flow freely without obstruction, but ordinary people can't directly use or store it."

"The faith you accumulated is also stored here usually and mobilized when you need it through tools or divine sequence."

"So the thing on the iron bed is what you created, where is its head?" Li Yu asked.

"We don't know either," Sara shook her head, "It was not created by us. Our people found it in this state back then.

"We discovered through research that its body has the ability to collect and store faith. The faith you created from each plane is absorbed by it."

"Is it still alive?"

"I don't think so," Robbin said, "We conducted various experiments on it, whether electrifying or cutting, it had no response, and it also doesn't use the faith it collects, which is why we chose it as a battery.

"You should feel fortunate. The plane selected has indigenous bodies that can remain intact for our use. Other planes don't have such luck.

"To gather enough energy for migration, we will increase the speed of faith extraction from those planes starting today, making the followers burn their lives to become our fuel."

"This is the way of nature, the strong devour the weak to gain the chance to survive," Mr. Qin said indifferently.

Li Yu kept silent.

"The tour ends here," Robbin said, "We can go to the bar on the first floor for a drink, I've talked so much my throat is a bit dry."

Taylor then patted Li Yu's shoulder, "Receiving so much information suddenly, your brain might be a bit overloaded, but don't worry, most of the steps here will be handled by Dr. Robbin and his team.

"Your task is simple, just continue the missionary work in another plane, gather as many followers as possible, and then follow Dr. Robbin's steps accordingly."

Li Yu then asked, "What about the other agents? Will they agree with you...us doing this? Killing their followers in another plane."

"We don't need their consent," Robbin answered, "The speed of faith extraction is set by the company, and for sustainable development, a gentler speed was used.

"We can increase the extraction speed whenever needed."

Sergei's face now showed a somewhat sinister smile, "After making the followers burn their lives, we don't need those agents anymore, their existence would become an unstable factor."

"What does that mean?" Li Yu frowned.

"We won't take them to the new world," Windsor answered, "because there can only be one Savior, and that is all we need. And the divine sequences they have are very dangerous.

"So the safest way is to clean them all up. The clearance plan started when we brought you to headquarters."

"Except for one backup candidate, everyone else will be dead by midnight tonight."

"Who is the backup candidate?"

"Kulu."

"Why him?"

"No particular reason," Sergei shrugged, "His performance has always been good, and he's loyal to the company, so we finalized on him."

Li Yu discerned the indifference in Sergei's tone, so he tentatively asked, "Can we change the person?"

"Who do you want to change to?"

"Shi Yitong." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Sergei looked at Taylor, who pondered for a moment and said, "I don't mind, Shi Yitong was originally Lao Qin's suggestion."

Upon hearing this, Bernard and Windsor said, "Since Taylor and Mr. Qin both agreed, we have no objections either, let's replace Kulu with Shi Yitong."
