Chapter 551: Transcendent Cult
The “charging area” on the 61st and 62nd floors is the designated dining area of the Transcendence Temple, and no delivery service is available, so Ashe and the others had to come to the charging area for meals.
Although they had been here for two days, Ashe still found it hard to accept this dining environment – the uniform sound of eating, with no ambient noise in the air, made Ashe feel like a social drifter sitting in an internet café to play games overnight, only to find himself surrounded by nearby company employees working overtime due to a power outage.
The atmosphere was so solemn and serious that Ashe didn’t dare to take food from Igor’s plate over the past two days.
Another thing that Ashe found hard to accept was the fact that they were literally charging.
It’s necessary to describe the appearance of the Transcendence followers here – unlike the ascetic look of the Tribulation Fire followers, Transcendence followers have a futuristic feel. With silver-white metallic prostheses attached to many parts of their bodies such as the nape, ears, spine, and elbows, equipped with glowing lines of breathing lights, combined with their blue-and-white uniforms and skin with lightning runes, they look like warriors time-traveled back from a Doomsday future.
These prostheses have their functions, but they consume electrical energy, so mealtime is also charging time. There are many charging cables under the tables, and as soon as they sit down, they automatically start charging, with electricity running through their bodies – this is even more important than eating.
Ashe, who only ate without charging, felt like someone eating instant noodles in an internet café without using the computer.
In contrast to Ashe’s discomfort, Igor and Harvey seemed quite at ease.
The Con Artist, of course, could joke around even if tossed into hell, so this small setting was nothing to him. As for Harvey, as a ruthless person who could eat and sleep among a pile of corpses, Ashe couldn’t think of any scene in the world that could affect the necromancer’s appetite.
