Chapter 416: From the Body to the Mind

This was the second time he had felt this, and the first occasion was during Ogress's evolution.

It felt as if the anomaly had already reached a saturation point and could no longer accept more extraneous energy, as if it had reached the limit of its growth.

These things belonged to Adam's psychic world, so they were a part of him. Back when he had first gone to train with Sadou, he didn't have much of an understanding of these invoked entities, but having experienced so much since then and honed his telegnosis to an exceptional degree, he was now able to sense all minute changes that took place in his anomalies.

Has it really reached its limit?

An intrigued look appeared on Adam's face as he instructed all of his high-level anomalies to gather around him, following which he began to stroke their bodies to get a better sense of their current condition.

This time, he was able to clearly sense that Ogress and Sludge had indeed reached their limits, so they weren't going to be able to evolve any further.

"What are you doing?" Shae asked. "Why are you touching them? Is something wrong?"

"It seems like the two of them won't be able to evolve any further."

"Which two?"

Adam pointed at Ogress and Sludge, and Shae approached them for a closer inspection, but wasn't able to draw any conclusions.

She had no psychic connection with these anomalies, so she naturally couldn't sense where their limits were.

However, as an outsider, she had her own useful insights to provide.

"Could it be that the evil intent that gave rise to them isn't sufficiently potent to begin with?" Shae speculated. "I recall that we obtained Ogress from the cannibal club, right?"

"That's right."

"Could it be that its host didn't possess enough evil intent? I recall that she was a cannibal who always liked to seduce men, then eat her husbands and lovers."

"I think so, I can't quite remember the details clearly myself. Is that still not enough evil intent?"

"Perhaps not. Where did Sludge come from?"

"It came from Peter, the second patient that we treated during my psychotherapy days."

Peter was an extremely deplorable man, but Adam had to admit that Peter had given him a very useful ally.

"That could be the reason. The origins of these two anomalies are too ordinary."

"Is that right?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

This was the first time that Adam had encountered a situation like this, so he couldn't think of any answers, either.

The only thing that Adam knew for sure was that all of these invoked entities had an upper limit to their potential. Ogress's upper limit was level six, Sludge's was level seven, and the upper limits for the other anomalies were still yet to be determined.

However, Adam was certain that the only infantile anomaly in his army, the angel of death, was definitely going to be able to become an extremely high level anomaly.

If all anomalies had upper limits to their potential, then this anomaly would at least be able to reach level 10.

As for his other anomalies, he couldn't tell which ones had potential and which ones didn't.

Perhaps there were anomalies with immense potential in his army, but if he had to pick one to develop, then the angel of death was definitely the best choice.

After all, there was no guarantee that he would get another opportunity like this.

Some of the anomalies in his army had only evolved to level two or level three from their infantile forms, and that was already beyond what they would've otherwise been able to evolve to, thanks to the tremendous surplus of anomalic power that had been available.

From here onward, they would have to evolve one level at a time, and there was still a very long way to go.

Furthermore, he wasn't sure exactly what level they could evolve to.

In any case, this anomaly is definitely one to be prioritized.

After briefly examining the power of his anomalic army, Adam departed from the psychic world.

During the few days after that, he was always itching to find someone to test out his newfound powers on, but the Chaos Raisers weren't committing crimes every day, and he wasn't able to gather any leads on them, leading to a great deal of agitation and frustration.

However, he hadn't just done nothing during those few days.

He was contacted by some technical personnel from Orto Technologies, who took him to Orto Technologies' most confidential military research facility in Sandrise City to present him with their most cutting-edge products.

"All of these prosthetic limbs have been prepared for you."

Adam had been presented with a dizzying array of combat prosthetic limbs, none of which had appeared on the market up to this point.

In fact, they hadn't even been made available in the military yet.

Kevin had well and truly delivered on his promise, providing a sufficient array of prosthetic limbs to arm Adam to the teeth.

"These are all legal, right?"

"Rest assured, all of the parts used are legal, and none of them are fitted with standard artillery."

"Are there monitoring devices inside?"

"No, you can take them back for examination if that's an area of concern for you. Mr. Reed says that sincerity is vital in a collaboration, and playing little tricks won't lead to long-term success. An ally who feels like they've been wronged will turn into an enemy, and if one makes too many enemies, life will become very difficult for them,"

Unlike most technicians, this one was very talkative, and he had most likely been chosen to attend to Adam for that reason.

Looking at the vast array of prosthetic limbs laid out before him, Adam didn't even know where to begin.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"Given the fact that you're an adapter, this surround sensory prosthetic limb should be your best choice," the technician introduced while pointing at a black prosthetic limb. "During battles in the psychic world, the main concern for adapters is the safety of the physical body in the real world. ]

“This prosthetic limb has an independent AI battle system, and due to its special data analysis function, its automated combat abilities are superior to when it’s controlled by the user, and its reaction system is also superior to that of the average Mechguard unit. In terms of battle efficiency and proficiency, AI have far outstripped humans, regardless of whether it be real-world battles or battles in games."

"So you're saying this thing will automatically protect my body while I'm fighting in the psychic world."

"That's correct. In fact, it'll even put up effective retaliation. It's fitted with the most advanced sensory components, including infrared compound eyes and soundwave detectors, and those will allow you to detect your enemies in advance."

"That does sound very appealing."

Adam approached the prosthetic limb to take a closer look, and he discovered that in contrast with normal prosthetic limbs, this was an all-encompassing one, so it was more like a suit of carbon fiber battle armor than a prosthetic limb.

There were many miniature neural connection points all over the suit of armor, and its exterior was also riddled with many slots, into which other components from Orto Technologies could be inserted.

"Tell me about the other prosthetic limbs. If there aren't any ones more suitable than this one, then this is the one I'll settle on."

Adam had plenty of time on his hands, and he was in no hurry.

The technician quickly introduced all of the other prosthetic limbs to Adam, and it had to be said that he was very familiar with the company's products.

After hearing about all of the prosthetic limbs, Adam decided that the first one, the Black Panther 7, was indeed the one that suited him the best.

"Alright, install it for me. Also, I need a rocket booster to provide me with the ability to fly for short bursts, so upgrade the one I currently have. Also, I need a neuron transmitter with a larger effective range."

"Got it!"
