The Almighty Ring

g and naturally, probing into another person’s conversation, especially her own boss, was rude.
Secondly, of reasons she could not explain, she was deeply infatuated with Jiang Fei.
She had no powers to dive into his mind to eavesdrop and even if she had, she wouldn’t.

“Don’t mind me.
Concentrate on healing yourself first.”

Jiang Fei brushed it off.
He was desperate to know what had happened to him and at the same time, too lazy to explain what was happening to Kaa’lna.

“Captain, I have finished with the scans.
Processing the results…”

0541 was so efficient that it took him merely minutes, unlike what doctors on Earth took, to fully analyse a human’s body.

“What’s wrong with me?” Jiang Fei asked.

“I’m sorry, Captain.
According to my scans, your body is functioning normally.
There aren’t any signs of foreign presence, particles, or anything abnormal.”

0541 was intrigued.
Something was clearly different about Jiang Fei but he could not pinpoint anything wrong with him! Jiang Fei’s body readings were completely normal.

“Impossible,” Jiang Fei hummed.

He replayed the same footage again and again and confirmed that he had entered a phase similar to Bargh.
His entire body reeked of malice and power.

“Captain, might I suggest paying a visit to Master Theon? Perhaps he has seen this phenomenon before and has a way to treat it.”

0541 might have evolved but he was not all-knowing.
Nevertheless, his suggestion postulated that Theon might know a thing or two about the entire known universe.
Theon was, after all, a superbeing that had transcended to a level that 0541 once thought was impossible.

“True.”

Jiang Fei nodded.
He had no other options left.
If 0541 could not identify the problem, only Theon could then.

“Kaa’lna, come.
It is time for us to return,” Jiang Fei said dejectedly.

Kaa’lna hummed.
She could not keep her eyes off Jiang Fei.
She was behaving similarly to the girls he once knew back on Earth, especially those who witnessed him having a sudden breakthrough, be it pills or stages of his Metahuman level strength.
She was behaving as if she was infatuated with him.
Such a gentle, mildly abashed behavior was normal if it was Sarila, but on Kaa’lna, a woman that was tall and mature-looking… She felt like a fish out of water; unnatural.

“Are you alright?” Jiang Fei had to ask.

“I’m fine.
Thank you for asking.”

Kaa’lna answered and quickly averted her gaze.
He could have sworn he saw a blush of pink hue on her fair white cheek.

“What the f*ck is that? 0541, is something wrong with her?”

Jiang Fei had checked himself but not Kaa’lna.
She had, after all, taken a hit more deadly and fatal then he did.

“I’ve check Kaa’lna as well and found no abnormalities in her body.”

“So what the hell is happening?”

Jiang Fei frowned.
A lot of things had never been understood and more was piling up before he knew it.
He was, in short, frustrated.

“F*ck this.
Let’s return to Bison and the others.
We still need to fight Ultralisks and scram.”

He had a million questions in his head and the only person who, he hoped, could provide an answer was Theon.
Though desperate, there was still a plan he needed to follow; to kill Ultralisks, get their flesh, and leave this godforsaken outpost!

…

Jiang Fei hastily returned to the main group with Kaa’lna sticking close to him like an overly attached girlfriend.

“Good to see you well, sir,” Bison greeted.

“All is well.
For now.
What do you have for me?” Jiang Fei asked.
