Chapter 82: seven power points!
A few moments ago,
Tyson and Alex reclined within their individual metal pods, attached to their Meta-bots, as the infusion process commenced. Purple power surged steadily along the heavy cables, injecting raw energy from the stones into their suits.
A few meters behind them, a team of scientists closely monitored their vitals on large digital monitors. They eyed the fluctuating data, keeping track of the Meta-bots’ body temperature, heart rate, and energy absorption rates.
At first, all replicated Edward’s previous enhancement session. Readings were constant, and the subjects reacted as expected. Then—something changed.
Alarms blared as Tyson’s data spiked wildly. His heart rate soared, blood pressure rose, and energy absorption rate skyrocketed. Unlike Alex, whose vitals stayed within expected limits, Tyson’s screams pierced through the pod’s containment, his voice reaching outside.
The lead researcher’s eyes grew wide with alarm as the figures on the screen swayed beyond expected limits.
"This. This can’t be right," he stuttered, his hands racing across the console as he attempted to scan the anomaly.
"What’s going on?" Edward’s voice was clipped, requiring an answer.
"We don’t know!" the researcher confessed, his breathing accelerating. "This wasn’t supposed to occur—Tyson’s Meta-bot is drawing energy at an exponential rate!"
The screen flashed as a new warning message popped up—Tyson’s pod was drawing his assigned share of energy and Alex’s as well.
"He’s drawing from Alex’s infusion!" another scientist shouted. "It will affect his power development if we don’t step in."
