Capítulo 722: Chapter 297 Pope Karis (6k)
“Damn it, why are demons so fierce these days.
Can’t they just let me convert them nicely? Why do they just self-destruct…
And even self-destructing is one thing, but why cover me with slime?”
Bai Yi hovered in mid-air, gritting her teeth as she looked at the falling corpse.
Her current appearance was hardly dignified—holding a heart the size of a human head, her hair matted with a slime filled with a marine stench, looking rather disheveled.
Initially, according to the plan, she was supposed to use Pence’s persuasion to lead the big demon to a deserted area at sea, then suddenly attack and severely wound the big demon to complete the Genetic Fusion.
But unexpectedly, there was no problem with Pence’s persuasion part; instead, it was her attack that hit a snag.
Using her decay ability to inflict maximum damage on the big demon, the sneak attack did succeed in severely wounding the big demon; however, due to its ability being more specialized in magical defense, it lasted longer under decay.
This shouldn’t have caused any issues, but Bai Yi had no idea what mental journey this big demon had gone through.
Suddenly, it shouted in the demon’s language to Pence, who was supposed to be the last safeguard, telling him to escape and report, then immediately began its self-destruction without any delay.
It’s like a top-tier player suddenly went back to a bronze level, using their top-tier awareness to anticipate multiple actions, but never expected the bronze player to charge straight with a full barrage.
Even if you win in the end, it feels extremely frustrating.
This unexpected mental shift caught Bai Yi completely off guard, and she got covered by the self-destruction face-on.
Not proceeding to beat it and complete the Gene Fusion as planned is one thing, but relying on her high health and various resistances, the damage from the self-destruction wasn’t significant, but the insult was full-on.
The fact that he self-destructed directly meant she had no outlet for venting her anger since she couldn’t exactly go whip the corpse…
Taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed her slightly irritated mood.
“Think positive; at least the position for this Abnormal Object is now open.
And given this Abnormal Object’s abilities, it perfectly matches with the Sea Son. Coincidentally, I was worrying about how to cultivate a Hero Unit for the Sea Son recently; this will be perfect.”
In the earlier ambush, the big demon didn’t have any chance to use its abilities, and the subsequent self-destruction was more about an energy burst rather than showcasing the true nature of its abilities.
But for Bai Yi, she never had to rely on personal experience to understand the true nature of an Abnormal Object.
[Heart of Water (Red): Controls the essence of water, turning the user into the will of water within a certain range. All Water Element skills have +100% power, -50% cooldown time, but the body will gradually dissolve after use]
“It’s not an Elemental control type, but rather a matter control ability similar to Rand?”
This was Bai Yi’s own classification of ability types; after all, she rose to power through being a Superpower User and naturally has some research on superpowers.
She categorized this type of control into energy control and matter control. The former mainly includes those like Little Hui and Little Blue, who control special energies, even the commonly used Space Ability in the territory falls under this.
The latter, exemplified by Rand, involves controlling existing matter in the world, with each ability having differences in coverage.
For instance, metal control falls under Rand’s earth control, but true metal control offers greater strength.
Of course, this classification is still not perfect and requires further exploration. Control over elements like Thunder and Light, which sit between the two categories, must be witnessed in practice to classify accurately.
But with the heart she held in her hand now, Bai Yi could easily classify it.
“Not bad at all, controlling the essence of water is indeed highly suitable for the Sea Son.
Shame there’s only one…
Alright, let’s use it on you! Moreover, let’s find a body to fuse with the other three Abnormal Objects too this time!”
Bai Yi quickly chose a target, instructed Demon Pence to continue with the plan, and teleported away from the ocean.
Meanwhile, on the northern side of the continent
“I told you nothing would come of it!
If such a strong individual truly existed, even if information would be scarce, what good would it do to find them?”
In a tranquil and peaceful village, Karis kept grumbling annoyingly behind Magga, not hiding anything from her.
But Magga was not at all annoyed, rebutting:
“You don’t understand; you’re just pursuing the power of Gods.
For us, the lifelong goal is to pursue higher levels of power, to seek truths closer to the world!
Although I am dissatisfied with the church’s rule of the last epoch, I do recognize their research achievements.
If not for their studies of Abnormal Objects using church authority, I wouldn’t have integrated today’s breakthrough methods nor birthed today’s strong individuals.
And the epoch before last, the one whose name is even lost, where those mighty individuals devoured demon flesh to create the path to the 8th Rank.
Even if their rule was disastrous, their progress was to be appreciated. Updates are released by novelFɪre.net
Nonetheless, no one truly crossed that step, that barrier still exists…
Even after trying countless methods for a thousand years, even integrating more Abnormal Objects, I have not managed to succeed.
