Chapter 215: The Hidden Crystal
Chapter: The Hidden Crystal
Adam stood motionless, absorbing the shocking revelation from Zero.
A crystal inside his chest, powering his abilities—it was something he had never considered. His mind reeled at the implications. "A crystal?" Adam asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"You’re telling me there’s a crystal inside every power holder, including me, and it’s the source of our powers?"
Adam finds it quite absurd that all power holders have a crystal inside their chest that gives them power. How weird is that.
Zero’s glowing patterns pulsed as it responded calmly. "Yes, Lord Adam. The detection device works by emitting specific energy wavelengths that interact with the crystal. If a crystal is present, the energy reflects back, identifying the target as a power holder. If there’s no crystal, the wavelength passes through without any reflection."
Adam processed the explanation, his thoughts racing. He folded his arms, deep in thought, then said, "So, the crystal isn’t just a power source—it’s a marker. That’s how this device identifies power holders. But why don’t I know about it? Why haven’t I ever sensed it?"
Zero’s head tilted slightly, its glowing blue lines shifting faintly. "That, Lord Adam, is beyond my knowledge. I can only tell you what I’ve learned from integrating with the detection device. This crystal could be a natural part of power holders, or it could be something more."
Adam forced himself to push the thought aside for now. There were more pressing matters. "We’ll revisit this later," he said firmly. "For now, tell me—can you create a countermeasure for this device?"
