Chapter 447
She immediately tries to forcibly connect to the nearest annihilation array, wanting to manually excite it to interrupt this terrifying eruption.
But it is too late.
The shattered restraint array releases chaotic energy turbulence, and the energy torrent erupted in terror by the living plane follows closely behind.
The two annihilation arrays that were slightly closer and not yet fully excited are like small boats in a storm, unable to make even a decent resistance before being completely swallowed and torn by the sweeping energy frenzy, turning into fragments of nothingness and dissipated energy.
Wei Wei Aola herself bears the brunt.
She is closest to the center of the eruption; although she has the protection of a sixth-tier wizard, in front of this impact as if the entire plane has "jumped up," she is also like a fallen leaf in a gale.
The multi-layered colorful shields flicker violently, and she is pushed away fiercely by the irresistible energy flow, rolling in the void.
So much so that she can only do her best to maintain defense and stabilize her figure, completely unable to manipulate any arrays.
The only remaining annihilation array, because it is the farthest away and has three layers of arrays in front to slightly block and consume part of the impact, luckily escapes being directly destroyed.
But the energy barrier on its surface is also flickering, the structure emits dangerous creaking sounds, and it is on the verge of collapse.
"Gao Jie Ming! Fire! Immediately!!" Wei Wei Aola forcibly stabilizes the communication while rolling, her voice trembling due to shock, anger, and energy impact, "Take advantage of the gap after its eruption! Open a gap! Let the old man have a chance to come out!!"
Her gaze stares fixedly toward the warship direction, full of undeniable command and urgency.
However, under the gaze of her eyes that are almost about to spray fire, that warship, that last annihilation array... remains silent.
No attack beam lights up, and there is no sign of energy focusing.
"Gao Jie Ming!! What do you want to do?!!" Wei Wei Aola's voice rises abruptly, full of unbelievable anger, "It destroyed all the restraint arrays! It destroyed two annihilation arrays! It is attacking! Can't you see?! Immediately! Fire!!!"
In the communication channel, Gao Jie Ming's voice is unusually steady:
"Senior Sister, calm down. First look at the deep emotional spectrum analysis data I just synchronized to you."
Wei Wei Aola is stunned, subconsciously dividing a trace of her mind to look at the real-time data stream forcibly pushed by Gao Jie Ming on her terminal.
That is a set of readings representing the "emotional state" of the plane consciousness, stripped from the violent energy fluctuations through special algorithms.
After the living plane condensed its soul, it indeed enhanced its mobilization of power to a greater extent, but it also made it easier for the equipment on the warship to read its emotional data.
On the chart, the dark red waveforms representing "malice," "destructive desire," and "aggression," although present, are not dominant.
And the bright yellow waveform that suddenly soared to the peak, almost piercing the upper limit of the chart... is the one representing "terror," "fright," and "extreme anxiety."
Its intensity completely crushes all other emotional indicators!
Rather than saying this is an attack full of malice, it is better to say...
"This reading..." Wei Wei Aola widens her eyes.
"This looks like... seeing a natural enemy? Or some incomprehensible terrifying thing, and it was scared to jump up? Pure... over-reactive stress response?"
Not an attack.
That was just an uncontrollable "startle reflex" triggered by the incomprehensible thing it saw when it "opened its eyes" for the first time after the soul was born, scared to the extreme!
Just then, the green plane that had just erupted with a terrifying blow sees the fear waveform on its soul reading begin to fall slowly.
Replaced by a more complex emotional fluctuation mixed with bewilderment, confusion, pain, and a trace of... grievance.
It also seems to be "confused," not knowing what happened just now, just instinctively feeling scared, and then instinctively using the greatest strength to "push away" the thing that made it scared.
Inside the control room, Gao Jie Ming looks at the dominant "terror" waveform on the screen, and the subsequent emotional feedback that is becoming somewhat "cowering" and "probing," and slowly releases the fist he had clenched at some point.
Wei Wei Aola's figure turns into a stream of light, passing through the chaotic void that has not yet completely calmed down due to the energy eruption, and quickly flies back to the warship.
As soon as the airlock cabin door opens, she rushes into the control room with the lingering restlessness and chill on her body.
"What the hell is going on? That thing almost buried us all just now!" She asks right away, her gaze piercing Gao Jie Ming sharply, while also sweeping across the outside of the porthole.
There, the last lonely annihilation array is hit by another energy ripple subconsciously vented by the frightened living plane.
The structure that was already tottering finally can't support it, and in a burst of glaring flashes and silent explosions, it turns into void garbage.
However, facing this destructive scene, Gao Jie Ming's reaction is unexpectedly calm.
He doesn't even look at the destruction of that last array, his gaze still locked on the deep emotional spectrum data on the main control light screen.
"It was just scared, Senior Sister." Gao Jie Ming's voice is steady, carrying a kind of understanding after insight, "That blow just now was not an attack, but an instinctive reaction after being scared—just like a person being woken up by ice water in a dream, or a beast suddenly seeing something incomprehensible explode beside it."
He points to the bright yellow waveform on the screen that still occupies an absolute dominant position, representing "extreme terror": "Look, the malice waveform is very low, but the fear value is off the charts. And..."
Gao Jie Ming pauses.
His perception as a cultivator is more sensitive than these instruments when facing the reaction of the world.
So Gao Jie Ming's perception is telling him that the source that made it so terrified does not come from the restraint or threats we imposed externally, but from within its "body."
Of course, these cannot be explained clearly to Wei Wei Aola, so Gao Jie Ming just pauses, then looks up at the outside of the porthole: "Looking at the plane's reaction, the attention should not be focused on the outside; the change should be happening inside it."
Wei Wei Aola furrows her brow and also looks at those data.
Indeed, the analysis result of the emotional spectrum coincides with what Gao Jie Ming said.
"Inside..." She chews on this word, her brain running fast, "You mean... Mentor Clark?"
"It can only be him." Gao Jie Ming nods, his tone carrying a bit of a smile, "Think about it, a living plane that has just condensed its soul and 'opened its eyes' to see the world, the first existence it clearly perceives is a sixth-tier peak great wizard with unfathomable aura who is 'exploring' everywhere inside its body. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have to jump up in fright, use all the strength I can, and push away or stun this 'unidentified dangerous object' first."
