Chapter 204: Hollow Core Chamber - I Can Program My Body?

CHAPTER 204: HOLLOW CORE CHAMBER

While deep in thought, Nash approached the station master to request a ride to the Hollow Core Chamber.

"7,000 for ground transport, 70,000 for express transport. What do you want?"

"What’s the difference?"

"Ground transport takes a few hours, and you need to wait for others before disembarking. Express transport is faster and private. It should only take half an hour to reach the Hollow Core Chamber."

"Then give me the express transport," Nash decided.

Though more expensive, he didn’t want to waste hours just to save some merit.

Unlike before, when he had to painstakingly fight day and night for a few merits, with his current strength, it wouldn’t be hard to kill a few Tier 3 dark beasts and easily earn millions of merits.

Soon after choosing his mode of transport, a void beast landed before him, urging him to ride.

Looking at the tamed bird, Nash ruffled its feathers and boarded from its back.

"Take me to the Hollow Core Chamber."

Chirp~

With a call, the void beast soared into the sky.

---

Half an hour later.

Dismounting the void beast, Nash turned toward the Hollow Core Chamber.

Like a temple of gods, it was surrounded by giant, thick pillars engraved with massive runes from the walls to the ground.

Feeling the solemn atmosphere, Nash couldn’t help but tense his body as he looked around.

"Name? Intention?" A voice rang in his head, his body warning him to answer quickly.

"Noir, I’m one of the seeded talents. I hope to use the Hollow Core Chamber to increase my strength," Nash answered, showing his badge as proof.

"Seeded talent? Then wait. There’s no extra room now," a cold voice responded.

As the pressure on his body dissipated, Nash heaved a sigh of relief.

Gazing at the solemn place, his pupils widened in shock as he scanned the people guarding around.

[Human: Tier 8 War God

Combat Power: Unknown]

[Human: Tier 8 War God...]

Five War Gods surrounded the place like door guardians, not letting even a wisp of air pass through.

Further around, he noticed hundreds of guards hidden in the shadows, each boasting the strength of a Tier 7 War Saint.

Though he couldn’t feel any fluctuations of void energy, the runic programs flowing through the shadows gleamed like an aurora in the dark night.

Feeling as if he had stumbled into a dragon’s den, Nash stood still, showing no impatience as he waited for his turn.

---

As minutes and hours passed, Nash didn’t dare waste his time.

Using the [Control Module System] to keep his body still, Nash began deducing the Soul Tempering Chapter of the Infinite Soul Manual.

As for the Void Tempering Chapter of the Infinite Void Manual, he wasn’t in a hurry.

His strength was already sufficient for now.

In a safe place, he prioritized increasing his calculation power over raw strength.

The higher it was, the better he could utilize his runic space and runic body.

In particular, the Runic Body, although each individual was composed of nearly the same runic programs as his body and soul, still had subtle differences.

Creating a universal module system that others could use would require significant effort.

Take the basic communication module system, for example.

It might be useless in the real world, but in the Dark Plane, it was a god-tier ability.

With such a module, his cooperation with others would be seamless.

Another idea was to create an automatic potion-making device.

Since mastering runic programs granted him the ability to manipulate everything, building an automated production machine should be feasible.

Unlike technology, which couldn’t function in the Dark Plane, his creations, aligned with the world’s nature and laws, should be usable.

Imagining various module systems and possibilities once he had more calculation power, Nash didn’t find waiting boring.

---

A few days later, just as the next training session of the seeded program was about to begin, Nash was called for his turn.

"You can go into Room 3. Stay as long as you want," one of the War Gods said with a hint of jealousy.

These seeded talents really had it easy.

Normally, using the Hollow Core Chamber required immense military achievements.

Even then, most could only stay for hours or a few days at most.

Yet, with their privileges, seeded talents could remain inside as long as they desired.

Of course, this was only if they could still absorb void energy.

If not, they’d be kicked out for wasting space.

Entering the solemn Hollow Core Chamber, Nash noticed ten grand doors with numbers etched above them.

"Room 3..."

Finding his room, Nash pushed the door and stepped inside.

"Huh~ These merits..."

Inside, a giant sphere floated above, overlooking the entire room.

Nash thought it was just a design, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was an amalgamation of merits solidified into a tangible form!

Usually, each merit was just a strand of mist; even with billions of merits, his own had never turned into something visible.

Yet here, a massive sphere composed of countless merits stood before him.

"Is this the foundation of the Nova Sector?"

Nash just couldn’t fathom how many merits were stored in that giant sphere.

Recalling there were nine other rooms like this, he could only sigh numbly.

"When will I have such wealth?" Nash wondered, thinking of Earth’s future.

Shaking off his thoughts, he opened his dark panel.

[Nash Navre:

Rank: Void Warrior (1000%+)

Soul: 10,680% saturation

Merits: 1 billion+]

"Oh? The dark panel can detect my real soul saturation?" Nash thought with interest.

Unlike void saturation, which could be easily discerned with little scrutiny, soul saturation was well-hidden.

Without rigorous testing, even a War God couldn’t gauge his true soul saturation.

At most, they’d sense it was stronger than usual.

Planning to optimize the [Disguise Module System] later to conceal his energy saturation, Nash got to work, placing his hand on the relay connection to the giant sphere of merits.

Feeling a vast amount of merits flowing through his body, he began operating the dark panel, converting the merits into void energy.
