Chapter 102: The Palm of Silicon-based Life

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the initiation rite, Nicholas Debye conducted a series of religious rites. As is customary with the legends and mysterious culture, the people knelt on the floor and chanted “The Book of Nod”. It was said that this was the vampire’s sacred book.

Lu Zhiyu became impatient, waiting as they were going through the series of rites. There were so many people around, and no one would have noticed if he went missing. He kept looking at the dome. He was certain that something was there, but a special field had prevented him from looking in.

As the light rays shone in from the windows above, a hazy light appeared at the very top. Lu Zhiyu could feel something moving, a strange force spreading out. They were using electricity!

Lu Zhiyu knew that something was at the top, and that the movement had been triggered by electricity. In the middle of the dome was the shadow of a huge, black inverted cross. It was about a few meters long, and it seemed to be mounted in the middle.

Following the appearance of the black inverted cross, the angels that were hanging there seemed to have suddenly come to life. Then, they quickly turned into devils! This was a special light effect used to heighten the atmosphere. Lu Zhiyu’s eyes brightened up, as he realized he saw what he had wanted to see.

The black inverted cross had been created by man. There was a black palm hiding in the center, and it was emitting golden lights. The palm was bigger than ordinary palms, and Lu Zhiyu estimated that it must be around three meters tall.

As the black inverted cross had been activated, Lu Zhiyu could feel a special field spreading out, covering the entire hall. This field consumed all the lights, leaving the entire hall in total darkness.

Other than the other three members, who had just joined the Clan, the rest of the people gathered were not at all surprised. They had obviously experienced it before. The field had been emitted by the black palm, which did not belong to any human or carbon-based life. Rather, it was formed by a fine, golden structure, which had life within it.

The field that it emitted contained a special energy, which not only disrupted Lu Zhiyu’s detection power, as it affected everyone’s magnetic field within their body. It was this rite that would prolong the people’s lifespans and heal their diseases.

After having lost visibility, due to the darkness, Lu Zhiyu forced his mental strength to check on the black palm. The power of the black field immediately clashed with his mental strength and was dissipated. Lu Zhiyu could now see the inner part of the core, but he was still blocked by the black palm. It had obstructed him from receiving any information.

Lu Zhiyu finally realized that Cain’s Left-hand was compiled of technology and a higher life. It was unlike the blood race that Lu Zhiyu had at first thought of linking it to. He had thought that he would be able to see something supernatural, like the vampire or, perhaps something even more frightening. He had even wondered if those legendary gods existed. He had definitely not expected such an outcome as this.

This was the silicon-based life that Lu Zhiyu had thought of before, but had never actual seen. Scientists had thought about it, and there were prophecies regarding it, but now, Lu Zhiyu had seen it for himself.

Vatican Clan had researched it, or else they would not now be able to use it. They knew that the energy field could regulate and aid in the growth of the body, and they had used it to heal the body. This was a similar technique to what Lu Zhiyu had developed.

Lu Zhiyu was curious. If research had found this metal-based life, could he create metal-based life as well? Such as a real metal alchemist life, unlike the eternal life alchemy boat that he had previously created? He had then used plant cells to surround his, but now, he could directly use metal.

After much observation, Lu Zhiyu decided to get ahold of the object, in order to research materials, so that he could take a better look at it. His interest in Vatican Clan grew, and he hoped to be able to have a talk with Nicholas Debye.

He was also interested in the energy field that could shield and influence his mental strength. How could a palm do such a job?

As soon as the life field of the palm had been released, it had been dissipated. All the members of the Clan screamed, and Nicholas Debye hurriedly pressed the earpiece onto his ears. He instructed the staff to charge up the inverted cross. Very soon after, the dark energy field had been activated, resuming operation.

After the rite had ended, Lu Zhiyu could see that the diseases in the people had been healed. Their complexions and muscles became more taut. Wrinkles on the older folks had also smoothed out. The new members found it unbelievable, starting to scream in shock.

No one had expected the prayer ceremony to be so powerful. Many of them had seen the black inverted cross, but they did not know the reason for its presence. They could only give credit to Nicholas Debye, for having such a supernatural power. He belonged to the race of the vampires, just like Charlie Andrew. They trusted Nicholas Debye completely, hoping that one day, they could also become one of the blood race via the embrace rite.

After the rite had ended, all the members left happily. Many of them went down for a drink, or just to have fun. It would be more appropriate to say that Vatican Clan was a prestigious club with a mysterious tinge of religion, rather than to classify it as being a religious group. The monthly prayer ceremony was more like a mega Cosplay.

Attendees came more for socializing, rather than to participate in the prayer ceremony. They wanted to widen their circles and influences. When faced with a difficult situation, a phone call to a friend might just settle the problem. Moreover, opportunities might arise out of it.

Charlie Andrew finally found Lu Zhiyu in the crowd. He said, “Anthony, why are you here? Come. Come with me. Mr. Debye would like to see you!”

Lu Zhiyu pretended to look shocked and said, “Mr. Debye? Is he the one who was standing on stage?”

Charlie nodded and said, “That’s right. Other than the prayer ceremony, very few people get the chance to see him. It will do you good to know him.”
