Chapter 267 - 264 Diablo

V.62 Diablo

Arc closes his eyes and began to sense the energy around him, the energy are like veins, and when he traces where those veins acc.u.mulating he was surprised. It was in him or to be exact the place he was in. In other words, Diablo's c.o.c.kpit, what surprised him, even more, is that diablo was only the outer armor of his warbot. And the warbot as the core is using those acc.u.mulated energies and changing the inner structures of both the warbot and Diablo.

"How is this possible? Diablo is a machine how can it evolve like a monster?" Arc was very confused but at the same time he was fascinated, he even forgets he was in the middle of a battle.

"Sovereign energy is special."

"Nine? So what you mean is I've unconsciously converted the energies I absorbed into an energy unit? Is that it?

"Close enough. I just redirected it into the closest thing that can be of help to you"

Arc couldn't really understand it. He has tried the skill of Energy Absorption many times before in order to get used to it, but none of the energy becomes an Energy Unit. Otherwise, he would not be worrying about the lack of energy units. When he was building his forces.

He would have to experiment more in the future. He makes a mental note of it.

"So what's going to happen to Diablo? Will he become sentient?"

Nine…

Well, he didn't really care if Nine didn't answer he is used to Nine antics. But he continues to watch as the warbots and Diablo merges. That's right the warbot becomes a part of Diablo. Even though the warbot is essentially a core and Diablo is actually just an armor of the warbot, but they are a separate machine. And now they are becoming one. He couldn't really understand the process but nevertheless, it is still fascinating to watch.

He didn't know how long it would take for the transformation to be completed. For him, it's like a long time has passed, but he really couldn't tell. And Nine is not giving him any answer.

Outside everyone is surprised when black energy suddenly enveloped Diablo like a cocoon and since the Forgotten are no longer coming out and the summoning formation is slowly breaking up. All eyes are focused on the black cocoon of energy.

Lilly can be seen circling around the cocoon looking very curious, she wasn't worried about Arc as she was connected to Him, and she can tell Arc is in no danger at all. then suddenly.

Crack, Crack…

They heard the sound of cracking like a glass breaking, and it wasn't the energy cocoon.

Lilly stops flying around Diablo and looks at the center of the formation.

Eve immediately summons multiple black spears, she summons more than 10 clearly she felt a sense of danger.

In the center of the formation, the space crack.

"What is that?" one of the cardinals said pointing at the screen

"What's going on, what is this dread I'm feeling?" said the pope in his mind.

Bang!!

Suddenly from the crack, a huge claw grab the edge of the cracked space, Bang!! And another claws on the opposite side of the space.

"Something is coming out!!" said one of the priests but no one is paying attention to what he is saying everyone is focused on the cracked space that is getting bigger and bigger.

Then Babel started to rumble like a massive earthquake is happening.

"This is not good, something is breaking the pocket dimension of Babel," said one of the Cardinals

Suddenly the pope started to puke blood.

"Your grace!!" the cardinals are in shock as to what is happening, they don't understand why the pope started puking blood.

"Your Grace are you ok what's happening?"

"Quiet!!" Gregor the oldest of the cardinals started to shout.

Gregor is an enigma among all Cardinals. No one knows why or what is his real purpose. As every Cardinal are in charge of an important department

But nobody questions it as Gregor is considered the oldest of all cardinals.

"The pope is connected to the core of Babel. His condition is an indication of the real condition of Babel." Gregor began to explain without any emotion on his face.

"Then that space crack is damaging the core of Babel?" Ask cardinal Vicar worriedly.

"That appears so, Decca, Gron and Essalia alternately heal the Pope" Ordered Gregor.

The three cardinals nodded and immediately started healing the Pope. The reason they didn't do so before is that they are not sure what is happening to the pope.

"All of you start pouring energy to Babel core. If Babel core is destroyed all of us will die and the Hands of Cain will cease to exist"

Everyone nodded "gather all the paladins and priests we all need to work together if we want to escape this catastrophe."

A huge amount of energy is pouring out from the other side of the cracked space. Some of those energies are being absorbed by the cocoon. But no one cares about that. Eve and Lilly are focused on what is coming out of the space. And judging by the size of the claws this is no longer the baby Lizard Lilly used to call. It is at least 3-5 times bigger than the first forgotten that comes out.

The air inside babel are being compressed good thing Lilly and Eve are not human if not they will have a hard time breathing. The closer one is to the cracked the denser the air is. Eve already confirm that Ruby and the rest are not affected.

Every time the crack enlarges, the pope continues to puke blood. The pope's face is so pale he looks like a corpse already if not for them healing and pouring energy to the Babel core, the Pope might already be dead by now.

All Bishops have a grim expression on their faces.

Gregor looks at the crack and on the monster that's coming out.

"This is too soon, I can't believe this is happening. Is this the will of the divine?" Gregor mumbles. He shakes his head. And a wry smile appeared on his face he of all people should know the Divine they are worshiping doesn't exist. He was a bishop, but he has another tittle only the Popes knows. The immortal Keeper of knowledge. But that is not his true Title the Title given to him by the four Primordial gods is. Gregor the first Apostle.

Inside Babel, Ruby and the rest are frantically collecting all the relics, while Eve and Lilly are getting ready for a huge battle, and the HOC are in chaos trying to survive the current situation.

And inside the cocoon Arc was enjoying the transformation of Diablo unaware of what is happening outside.
