Death... and me
chapter-2148

-Please connect the communication device's XB port to the XB port in the Cryogenic Pod 401349X. Due to the poor connection between Chamber 13R and the rest of the Sector, the system will need to use the communication device to assess the situation. At the moment, the system can only tell that the being inside is in critical condition due to the Pod's malfunction.-

Rean had no idea what an XB port was, but he imagined it was something similar to a USB or a similar port on Earth. After checking the device, he did indeed find an entrance there. He quickly looked around the room and found many cables, one of which was just perfect for the device he was using.

After searching for the same type of connector on the Cryogenic Pod, Rean quickly connected the two devices together. His device screen began to show huge amounts of information every second, which looked quite similar to the holographic messages appearing on the Pod itself.

-Cryogenic Pod's issue found. The Divine Energy Conversion Capacitor has been damaged. That caused the Pod to have a poor flow of energy that controls the stasis inside. Divine Energy Conversion Capacitor must be changed.-

Rean nodded. "Alright, that can be done. However, we would rather wake this being up first. Would that be possible?"

-Negative. If the Pod's stasis is interrupted in this state, it will lose its balance between the environment inside and outside. The stasis release would happen way too fast, possibly breaking the being inside into many parts.-

Rean scratched the back of his head. He had no idea how this thing worked or what a Divine Energy Conversion Capacitor looked like. "As you know, I was previously working in another sector far away from here. I did not receive any training on how to fix Cryogenic Pods. How am I supposed to change this thing you asked?"

Immediately, the holographic messages on the communication device increased in size, showing many different manuals. After a few moments, the images stabilized, presenting a clear step-by-step procedure to open and change the capacitor. Even someone who had never seen technology before would probably be able to follow the instructions there.

-The system can only provide the necessary instructions. It is possible to use a repairing bot to carry out the procedure, but this robot has to be taken from outside Chamber 13R.-

Rean immediately shook his head. His group already took this long to arrive here. They definitely didn't want to make their way back just to return to this place once again. After all, they would most likely have to fight their way through on both occasions. He would rather try it himself. "Well, the instructions seem pretty clear. Let me give it a try. System, can you find anywhere near here with this Divine Energy Conversion Capacitor?"

-Searching...-

-Object found. 12 meters to the left, the second container from the top. It is labeled as 'Transportation Parts.' Warning: This container is set to be sent to Sector 132B. The system recommends that Clearance Manager Rean contact the Sector 132B Clearance Manager Luvati and inform him of the necessity for the use of these parts. The transportation of the container has been delayed.-

Rean shrugged his shoulders. Everyone in this Spaceship is gone, so how does the system expect him to contact this Luvati guy? "I'll tell him later," was all Rean could say.

*Clang...*

Rean forced the container open and soon found the capacitor. It was identical to the ones shown in the step-by-step instructions on the communication device. Finally, he approached the Cryogenic Pod and looked for the lid mentioned in the instructions too. "Let's see... it should be this one..."

Roan and Luan observed from afar. Rean was the one who always dealt with technological things in the Dimensional Realm, so he was obviously the best for the job.

"Oh! There we go!" Rean pressed the commands necessary to pause the Pod for a moment while he changed the capacitor. Sure enough, he could see that the one in the Pod had a few cracks on it, different from the new one he had. After a few minutes, the new Divine Energy Conversion Capacitor was in place. "Let's give it a try. System, check the Pod now."

-Analyzing...-

The red messages on the Pod began to disappear one by one. The Pod's condition also seemed to change as the system operated the machine. Finally, only blue messages of all sorts were left in front of the Pod.

-Cryogenic Pod 401349X is now fully functional. Life conditions inside are stabilizing. The life recovery system is now healing the body's damage. Time left: 31 minutes.-

Rean was satisfied. "Great! Let me know when it is safe to halt the stasis inside the Pod."

-Request accepted.-

Rean then turned to Roan and Luan at the back of the room. "Seems like everything worked just fine. We just need to wait."

Roan nodded back at him. "As long as we can get this guy out, that's fine. Luan, can you see the being inside? The Pod seems to block Divine Sense too. Even standing on its side doesn't allow me to see the cultivation of whoever is there."

Luan nodded. "I can see, Father. However, I can't tell exactly how strong this being's cultivation is. I can see that its Dantian... or maybe Demon Core... has Divine Origin Energy inside, so it is definitely someone at the Space Bending Realm, at least. However, I can't tell if this is this being's full capacity or not. It might be that the being inside hasn't absorbed Divine Origin Energy in a very long time, and I'm only seeing a fraction of what he can hold inside. Or maybe this indeed is all this being can accumulate, and it is in a lower stage of the same Realm as you and Uncle Rean."

Roan narrowed his eyes. If there was no Divine Origin Energy, it at least meant the being inside was in the Void Tempering Realm or below. But that was obviously not the case.

Rean spread his arms. "Well, it is not like we can go back now. Just be ready to flee into the Dimensional Realm."

Luan and Roan nodded. "That's the only choice."

The trio then sat somewhere around the room and waited for the recovery to be over. Finally, the system spoke once again. -Recovery finished.-

"Good." Rean was waiting for that. "System, halt the stasis and allow the being inside to come out."

-Request accepted.-
