I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Before the Dark Disaster
A few days later, after a small celebration and all-out sparring matches, the Star Alliance returned to its previous state.

Mining, defending, training, and researching, everyone was busy with their own tasks.

Returning to seclusion, Nash also continued with his work, from condensing elemental cores, deducing the perfect void condensation chapter, and optimizing the [Runic Analysis Module System].

On the side, he didn’t forget to take soul transformation potions, engraving the runic command structures of war weapons, and keeping up to date on what was happening outside.

He could no longer be like the past, ignorant of events while lost in training.

The Cosmic Competition was getting closer to an end. The civility and unspoken rules most followed had already begun to crack.

There is only about a year and three months remaining. As they approached the dangerous period, he had to stay alert.

Focusing on training, the days, weeks, and months began to pass.

—

In the training hall, after condensing another elemental core, Nash stood up, planning to prepare for the coming chaos.

“The time for chaos is about to arrive…”

Three months had passed since Tsuka advanced to a level 4 shelter.

During this time, over half of the clustered resource points they’d conquered were cleared.

With the enormous amount of resources, most of the other top shelters in the Star Alliance had also advanced.

Basically, all 73 teams in the Star Alliance had already entered the top five thousand ranking, with over a dozen in the top thousand.

As for Nova Shelter, they were about to enter the top hundred ranking!

However, even with this good news and growing strength, instead of smiles, everyone in the Star Alliance wore expressions of anxiety.

—

Entering the Star Alliance Hall, everyone bowed, welcoming Nash’s arrival.

“Greetings, Commander Nash!”

“At ease. No need to be so formal,” Nash said with a frown, seeing them so stiff.

“You jest, Commander. This is part of our duty. Please don’t be offended!” they hurriedly replied.

During these past few months, it wasn’t only them who’d grown stronger; their Commander had as well.

They didn’t know why, but each day they met Nash, the pressure they felt became increasingly stronger.

Even the Void Marshals, having sublimated their connection to the elements, were filled with awe toward Nash.

As if he were the incarnation of the elements themselves. Even knowing Nash was only at the Void Venerate realm, they still felt insignificant.

“Alright, sit down. We still have a lot to discuss.” Nash waved everyone off.

Although Nash understood how massive his changes had been these past few months, he still felt awkward seeing their posture.

Hadn’t he just mastered 85 elemental cores? He hadn’t even reached a hundred, and they were already acting like this.

Nash could only imagine what would happen if he fully fused his void and soul energy, and mastered all 1,618 elements.

Perhaps none of these people could even stand before him.

Soon, seeing that everyone had finally relaxed, Nash started the meeting.

“What preparations have you made for this coming dark disaster?”

The dark disaster, the final year of the cosmic competition, was when dark energy was most active.

In such a state, dark beasts could multiply faster, grow stronger, and become harder to kill.

More importantly, the number of dark phenomena would multiply little by little as time passed.

As if in a last struggle before the Void Administrator took control over the area, the Dark Plane would retaliate in full force.

Although their strength and accumulation should be enough for them to sail through until the end, Nash and everyone else weren’t content.

While the dark disaster was fraught with danger, it was also rich in resources.

With teeming dark energy, the number and quality of resource points would be higher!

Even rare elemental crystal lodes and resource points would become more common, giving everyone a chance to catch up to those ahead of them.

If done well, those in the thousand ranking could even reach the top ten in these short few months!

Eager for the wealth of resources, how could Nash stay in his little acre of land and wait?

“Commander, we’re doing everything to prepare for this dark disaster spree.”

“First, as you ordered, we continued the creation of the Spiral Behemoth. As of now, we’ve created about 300 million of them.”

“300 million? Not bad.” Nash nodded in satisfaction.

From 10 million to 300 million! Although the Spiral Behemoth was losing its practicality, it was still his major weapon.

Having already input their runic structures into the [Weapon Control Module], he could allow all the Spiral Behemoths to run rampant as an alternate undead army of the Star Alliance!

“We’ve also reconfigured all our tier 4 weapons and rebuilt the others into the four types you instructed: defensive war weapons, long-range war weapons, assault war weapons, and speed-support type war weapons.”

“Oh? You finished everything within just a few months?” Nash asked in shock.

To have an easier time converting the tier 4 runic war weapons to the [Weapon Control Module System], instead of inscribing each model one by one, he’d chosen four model types and had everyone remodel the rest.

Although there would still be discrepancies he needed to attend to, it would still be easier.

Nash thought this would be a long project, one that would only be finished after half a year or so. He didn’t expect them to finish it so quickly.

“We’re only remodeling, not creating, so it’s easier,” one of them explained.

“I see. That’s good!” Nash smiled in satisfaction.

Unlike the Nova Team, which didn’t even have a decent scientist, the other teams he’d allied with had deep foundations.

Tier 1 scientific scholars were quite common, along with Tier 2 scientific professionals and even Tier 3 scientific academicians.

Having a group of smart and skillful people, it was no wonder they could reconfigure all 750,000 tier 4 weapons in a few months.

Of course, compared to those great teams with tier 4 scientific sages on their side, they were insignificant.

Nash had heard those teams even had automated devices that could handle the reconfiguration of each resource collector, freeing everyone’s hands for other tasks.
