"This drill is also my special creation. Don’t be fooled by its small size, it’s extremely sturdy and can even cut through nano-titanium alloy," Zhang Tianyou explained with enthusiasm.
Whenever he talked about these things, Zhang Tianyou would get very excited.
Xue An just gave a faint smile, folding his arms without responding.
In the next moment, the drill made contact with the space-time stone, and then... it broke!
That’s right!
The special drill, which could cut through the hardest nano-metals with ease, broke the instant it touched the space-time stone.
And it broke so cleanly and sharply.
It was as if it wasn’t a drill, but a fragile branch.
Zhang Tianyou couldn’t help but be taken aback, but in the next second, he appeared even more excited.
"Interesting indeed! Looks like I’ve underestimated you."
Saying this, Zhang Tianyou rubbed his hands together eagerly, immediately starting the next operation process.
This time it was not a drill, but a deep blue laser beam.
"Do you see this laser? Doesn’t it look unimpressive? Yet it is my ultimate weapon, harboring tens of megajoules of immense power beneath its seemingly weak exterior. It’s truly indestructible!"
Zhang Tianyou gazed obsessively at the scene in the glass case.
His favorite feeling was exploring the unknown.
And these indestructible tools were his most potent aids.
However, when this laser beam touched the space-time stone, something magical happened.
The laser was forcibly bent at an angle, then penetrated three layers of the glass case, pierced through the ceiling and roof of the lab, and vanished into the Martian night sky.
Zhang Tianyou widened his eyes, incredulous at the scene before him.
He never expected his proud tools to be completely defeated by this stone.
Particularly that laser beam, specially crafted by him, its power could even rival a full-force strike from the Immortal King.
Suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something and rushed to the control panel.
The glass cover dropped, and then Zhang Tianyou began to examine it meticulously.
After a while, Zhang Tianyou let out a breath, looking up at Xue An.
"Did you already know this would be the result?"
Xue An smiled slightly, "Sort of, I didn’t expect it to end so quickly either!"
In fact, when Xue An first obtained the space-time stone, he had studied it seriously.
He found that even someone as strong as him couldn’t do anything to this stone.
But the problem was, when the Carter Family summoned the extraterrestrial demons, they used a small shard split from it.
For this, Xue An specifically researched the soul memories left by the high-level members of the Carter Family.
He discovered that they also didn’t know where this thing came from.
They only knew that the space-time stone would occasionally self-divide a small piece.
This was the source of that little stone.
Xue An came to see Zhang Tianyou this time partly to ask about the Star Ring, and secondly, to have this scientific madman analyze the origin of this thing.
But when Zhang Tianyou proposed to cut off another sample, Xue An already knew the result.
The reason he didn’t say anything was just to see what tricks Zhang Tianyou could come up with.
As expected, no matter what Zhang Tianyou did, he couldn’t affect the stone.
However, Zhang Tianyou wasn’t discouraged in the slightest. Instead, he became more and more excited.
This scene left Zhang Tianyou dumbfounded.
He had calculated everything except for this thing actually reproducing.
That’s right!
The process of the space-time stone splitting was eerily similar to an animal giving birth.
"I understand, I finally understand, this thing is not a stone at all, it clearly has life!"
Zhang Tianyou suddenly shouted, then looked at Xue An.
"How many pieces did you get in total?"
"Two pieces!"
"Bring them all out!"
Xue An took out the piece he got from Wangui Sec, and Zhang Tianyou compared them, finally confirming his thought.
"These things indeed have life! But that’s impossible!" Zhang Tianyou slumped in his wheelchair, looking desolate.
"Why is it impossible?"
"Because while life’s expressions can be varied, none of them embody this form, especially as it can manipulate time, I utterly can’t grasp how it formed!"
"Did you search the whole Earth and only find these two pieces?"
Xue An nodded.
"Didn’t you look into the Federal Credential Bureau? Since this is related to the current timeline, and the Federal Credential Bureau theoretically supports those descent Divine Clan, they should have this thing!"
"I went, but there was nothing there except for a bunch of old officials, no trace of those so-called descent Divine Clan, nor this space-time stone!"
Saying this, Xue An looked deeply at Zhang Tianyou.
"That’s why I came to find you!"
