"Such high stakes…" Jiang Fei said as he sucked in a deep breath.
The gamble was laid open for him. Fusing with the Blackhole Core would grant him power but put him on the tip of the blade. Jiang Fei was not comfortable taking such a risk, not when he was in a position to choose otherwise.
"Is there any way you could… I don't know… place the core in a machine to safely extract its energy?" Jiang Fei spat out an idea.
To say that he was not in a critical condition was not entirely true. He had been enfeebled by the lack of energy in the Core of Will and the absence of Omnisurge. Facing the trials in his current condition would be suicidal. Then again, asking him to take the risk to fuse with the Blackhole Core there and then was something he would not do unless he was literally, not a figure of speech, in mortal danger.
