Chapter 730: Barrett
The moment those words left her mouth, Alana’s eyes lit up.
She leaned forward. "Really?"
There was obvious excitement in her voice.
"Are you actually planning to turn them into superior beings?"
A hint of concern quickly followed. "Wouldn’t that put your body under tremendous strain?"
Hearing that, Ivy chuckled softly. "No."
She shook her head. "Technically, it won’t. Because I’m planning something completely different."
Alana looked even more confused.
At that exact moment, the door opened.
Silas returned.
However, unlike what everyone expected, he had not spent all this time inside the base.
In reality, immediately after rescuing Moona and Maxi, he had moved toward the route the superior beings would most likely use to escape.
He had quietly prepared a trap.
The superior being’s escape ultimately proved futile.
When Tammy and the others arrived at the north intersection point, their expressions immediately darkened.
Standing there was Silas.
Beside him stood several elite team members from the Silvy Base.
The moment both sides locked eyes, they understood that a fight was inevitable.
Without exchanging another word, the battle erupted.
During the battle, Barrett desperately tried to prove his worth.
Time and time again, he charged toward the front lines.
Every attack he launched was reckless.
Every movement ignored his own safety.
It was as if he was determined to demonstrate his loyalty at all costs.
Seeing this, Tammy suddenly shouted,
"You need to sacrifice yourself to prove your loyalty!"
Barrett froze briefly. His expression became conflicted. Then he gritted his teeth.
"If I do this..."
His voice carried a trace of nervousness.
"You need to promise me that the Hybrid Faction won’t be blamed."
The battlefield became strangely quiet for a brief moment.
Tammy immediately answered, "I promise."
The instant those words left her mouth, a strange blue light appeared between them.
The light was invisible to every superior being present.
However, Silas saw it. His eyes narrowed.
’A contract? No... Something even stranger than that.’
The blue light vanished almost immediately.
Once the promise had been established, Barrett’s entire demeanor changed.
He fought as though his own life no longer mattered.
Meanwhile, Tammy, Coco, and Nanami immediately took advantage of the opportunity.
While Barrett occupied the battlefield, the others began retreating.
Silas instantly realized their intention.
His expression darkened.
Without hesitation, he abandoned the pursuit and focused on the most vulnerable target.
Within moments, Barrett was captured.
A powerful sleeping agent forced him into a deep coma.
By the time Silas secured him, the remaining superior beings had already escaped.
When Silas eventually returned to the Silvy Base, his mood was somewhat complicated.
Although capturing Barrett was a significant achievement, three superior beings had escaped unharmed.
Still, it was far from a complete loss.
After hearing Silas’s report, Ivy simply nodded.
Looking toward Felix, she said,
"It seems we can finally begin your ritual."
However, before anyone could continue the discussion, hurried footsteps echoed through the corridor.
Bang! The door opened. A terrified staff member rushed inside.
"Alice isn’t in good condition!"
The room instantly fell silent.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
After all, Alice had been fighting against the strange knot inside her stomach for a very long time.
Numerous treatments had been attempted.
Yet despite all those efforts, no solution had ever been found.
Alana immediately rushed toward Alice.
After examining her condition, her face became grim.
"If we don’t remove that knot immediately..."
She paused.
Then she delivered the conclusion everyone feared. "She will die."
Alana’s healing power wasn’t working.
Modern medicine wasn’t working. The researchers couldn’t find a solution. So what were they supposed to do?
As everyone struggled to think of an answer, a thought suddenly appeared in Ivy’s mind.
Without hesitation, she entered the Temporal Storage.
Moments later, after confirming her theory, she returned.
This time, her expression was hesitant.
She looked toward Silas. Then toward Alana.
Finally, she gathered her courage. "Alana."
Alana immediately turned toward her. "What is it?"
Ivy lowered her voice. "There is something we need to change."
Alana’s expression became serious.
After Ivy told everything, Alana, without hesitation, nodded.
She trusted Ivy completely.
After everything Ivy had done for her family, there was no reason to doubt her now.
Meanwhile, Silas began feeling uneasy. A bad feeling emerged in his heart.
Before he could ask anything, Ivy spoke. "I have a solution."
She took a deep breath.
"What if we transform your mother into a superior being?"
Silas’s eyes widened.
Ivy continued,
"I’ve already confirmed it through the Temporal Storage."
"As long as she successfully becomes a superior being, Alana’s healing power will be capable of repairing her completely."
The moment those words were spoken, Silas’s expression changed.
For several moments, he remained silent.
Then he slowly shook his head. "No."
His answer was immediate.
"I don’t want to place any more burden on you."
His voice was filled with sincerity.
It wasn’t because he didn’t care about his mother.
Far from it.
The problem was that he understood the price Ivy paid every time she transformed someone.
The thought of losing her terrified him.
Seeing his reaction, Ivy couldn’t help but smile.
"You are worrying too much."
Silas frowned.
Ivy gently tapped her forehead.
"In fact, I already found a way to ensure that I won’t die."
That immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Afterward, Ivy carefully revealed her plan.
As she explained each detail, the tension in Silas’s expression gradually disappeared.
By the time she finished, he finally released a sigh of relief.
Only then did he agree.
Soon afterward, Alice and Felix were brought into the Temporal Storage.
For Felix, it was his first time entering the mysterious space.
Unlike Alana, he had never experienced it before.
The moment he stepped inside, his eyes widened.
After looking around for several moments, Felix couldn’t help but murmur,
"This place is incredible."
He shook his head in amazement.
"If Earth disappears one day, we could probably just live here forever."
Hearing that, Alana immediately rolled her eyes.
"What a ridiculous idea."
Felix laughed awkwardly.
