Theo retrieved his dagger, his expression indifferent, while the corpse of Kewis gradually slipped onto the ground.
"Is he dead just like that?" Li Ming was quite surprised as he looked at the corpse on the ground, feeling that it died too easily.
It really did not meet his psychological expectations.
Li Ming muttered, "Maybe I’m overthinking it. These people’s methods aren’t actually that powerful. Theo was stronger than them from the start and excels in sneak attacks..."
He bent down, picking up that yellowish-black object, similar to a heart, from the yellowish mud on the ground. It looked ordinary, but as soon as his hand touched it, a control prompt popped up—
[Talos’ Heart—Level S: A special biotechnological product, primary material from a terrifying life form in the Deep Dimension World, possesses terrifying load capacity.
Control Conditions: 60 million metal energy
Control Effect: Power of Star Breaking
Control Ability - Transplant: Can temporarily replace one’s own heart, transforming power amplification into either speed, defense, or stamina, and can be stacked with other control effects.]
Li Ming was startled, biotechnology? Level S Controlled Object? 60 million needed for control? Replacing his own heart?
Every word was immensely loaded with information.
And this [Transplant] ability, it’s too abnormal.
This seemingly inconspicuous heart was a Level S Controlled Object? Where did the Torch Group acquire it from?
Li Ming’s heart thumped uncontrollably a few times, but now was clearly not the time to contemplate, he tossed it straight into Folded Space, planning to study it later.
After slightly calming himself, he then picked up that brilliant crystal from the water on the ground, liquids dripping, with no prompt when touched.
Yet, he inexplicably felt this crystal was familiar, as if he had encountered it somewhere before.
After trying it out, he indeed could extract some special energy from it.
"It’s probably not Mutated Energy, could it be..." Li Ming’s eyes flickered.
"Aren’t you coming out yet?" Theo said in a deep voice, the attack had already begun, every minute, every second was precious, no time to stand there and daydream.
Li Ming scanned the ground, making sure nothing was overlooked, then stepped out of the Energy Barrier.
His left hand still clutched the special crystal, continuously extracting special energy.
Glancing at Kewis’s corpse, Li Ming felt a twitch in his heart, raised his right hand, and a reddish electromagnetic light beam burst forth.
The metallic ground exploded into a big hole, Kewis’s body had become several charred pieces, scattered in all directions.
Theo frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased, Azure Dragon doing this clearly shows a mistrust in his methods.
"Was that necessary?"
"Don’t misunderstand, just being cautious," Li Ming shrugged.
Theo scanned over those charred fragments of the body without further comment, but solemnly said, "Let’s hurry up, they can’t stall for much longer."
Li Ming nodded, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly uttered a quiet "huh."
The peculiar crystal in his left hand had vanished without a trace.
No new energy prompt appeared in the Control Page, but a certain incomplete energy was replenished.
"What’s going on?" Theo’s expression tightened suddenly, his sinister eyes scanning around, he hadn’t noticed anything abnormal.
"Wait a moment..." Li Ming carefully checked, the Divine Energy had been replenished, belonging to a complete set, which also provided him with more information.
[Divine Energy: Contains high-dimensional traits, can temporarily divine an A-level Controlled Object, greatly improving its power and ignoring energy consumption and burden.]
Li Ming was secretly amazed; he’d gotten this Divine Energy earlier and thought it was a special energy needed for A-level Controlled Objects to upgrade to S-level Controlled Objects—an enhancement for temporary use,
"Temporary divination, ignoring energy consumption and burden..."
This thing was still a one-use item, the power should be quite exceptional.
"Ten Mutated Energies can be converted into one Divine Energy?" Besides this panel information, there was more clarity.
Divine Energy could also be converted from Mutated Energy, thankfully not at a damned ratio of a hundred to one.
One to ten was more acceptable.
This meant that Divine Energy and Mutated Energy are somehow related and probably could tie into the Dimension World.
Although it was unclear how powerful divination really was, judging from its description it was extraordinary.
Originally, he just wanted to snatch some Mutated Energy, but unexpectedly got some extra tricks up his sleeves as well, including [Heart of Chenxing], Li Ming was in a good mood.
"What exactly is it?" Theo asked, seeing Li Ming standing still for a full minute and unable to resist asking.
"Nothing, just remembered something," Li Ming shook his head.
Theo’s face turned dark, now was the time to reminisce?
He seriously doubted Azure Dragon was having second thoughts.
"Hurry up!" he said coldly, his figure transforming into a streak of Flowing Light sweeping past the bodies on the ground.
Meanwhile, outside the temporary base of the Torch Organization, Sandro stood in a giant hole, sand swirling around.
The severely eroded surface was covered with gravel and now formed a haze-like curtain of sand.
"Connet, are you blind!?" he roared, the towering figure of five meters tall, flowing like magma, with hot columns of flame boiling like the sea.
Connet was already repressing his fury, and now hearing the incompetent yet boldly aggressive Sandro scolding him, could not help but rise to tears him apart.
But he finally restrained himself; they had already devised a complete plan, even if he was nearly certain that Azure Dragon was behind the mischief, it still wasn’t time to close the net.
