Chapter 347-2: Parasitic Factor, Ascended Prototype Purgatory Angel (2)
[You step over the monster’s enormous corpse and arrive at the laboratory entrance…]
[Looking at the layers upon layers of gigantic nets woven from countless thick pipes, you realize that this is the work of the Spider-Type Executioner.]
[You form a sword seal with your fingers and launch an attack on the web, attempting to open a path.]
[The Star-Shifting Celestial Sword transforms into sharp sword light, continuously severing spider silk as it pushes forward.]
[The spider silk is extremely resilient. You must fully drive your true essence to cut through two or three strands with a single strike.]
[But the web is airtight and layered. After cutting through one layer, another remains, making your progress extremely slow…]
[Flanda lightly pats your shoulder, signaling you to rest for a moment and leave the physical labor to her.]
[The young girl slightly bends her body into a half-crouch. The originally frail body seems to transform into a female leopard, giving you a sense of overwhelming, unmatched power.]
[Flanda forcefully stomps the ground. The point where her foot lands erupts like a heavy bomb, blasting out a deep crater.]
[Her figure vanishes in an instant, and the layers upon layers of spider web in front of you shatter completely in the blink of an eye, as if a heavy artillery shell had blasted through a fragile fishing net blockade.][Flanda uses an extremely simple and brutal method to open a clear path for you…]
[You quickly follow and move forward along the passage…]
[After taking a few steps, you realize that Kim has not followed.]
[You turn back and see Kim still standing beside the Spider-Type Executioner’s massive corpse.]
[It stares blankly at the corpse, its gaze extremely complex.]
[You suddenly understand. Kim must have seen how powerful Flanda is and felt somewhat inferior…]
That was not strange. Flanda usually appeared gentle, but in reality she was an unquestionable demigod.
Her strength was so overwhelming that most people could not handle it. Developing psychological shadows from this was understandable. Kim’s capacity for acceptance was simply not very strong.
However, with the formidable goal of defeating the Desire Wet Nurse ahead, Lin Xun had no time to interfere in the emotional entanglements between two story characters.
[Just as you are about to call out to Kim, you witness something unbelievable.]
[Kim silently sheds the Shadow Dancer shell container and reverts back into its maggot-person form.]
[Immediately after, it burrows into the Spider-Type Executioner’s massive corpse…]
[Not long after, the giant spider regains vitality and stands up once more.]
[Kim, having become the Spider-Type Executioner, seems somewhat unaccustomed. It lifts its legs, then spits out some silk…]
Lin Xun: ???
“Good grief. I thought I was already perverse enough for being able to possess a BOSS. I did not expect someone even more perverse than me.”
He had already confirmed that the Spider-Type Executioner’s body was too large and had too many neural ganglia. Just like a small horse being unable to pull a heavy cart, it was impossible to obtain the shell using Perfect Parasitism.
Kim’s parasitic ability was far inferior to his. Yet now it could parasitize a BOSS he himself could not.
[Flanda appears at your side again at some point. Looking at Kim’s new container, she speaks thoughtfully, it seems that the Firefly bestowed upon it a tremendous blessing, the original parasitic factor.]
[You cannot help but ask, is parasitism not an ability researched by the Desire Wet Nurse?]
[Flanda shakes her head and explains that parasitic abilities were derived by the Desire Wet Nurse by deciphering factors from certain peculiar aberrated beings.]
[Parasitism was originally an ability possessed only by aberrated beings. The world of insect-people naturally includes parasitic species…]
[At that time, the Desire Wet Nurse had not deciphered the Firefly’s life factor, and her grasp of parasitic technology was incomplete. Being able to produce a half-finished product like Kim was already a major breakthrough.]
[It was only after she betrayed her oath and threw herself into the embrace of the Firefly that she could master a more complete parasitic technology and gift you the Perfect Parasitic Factor.]
[The Firefly is the source of all life factors in this world. Only the Firefly’s blessing can allow Kim to grasp a parasitic factor closest to the origin.]
[However, it is possible that the portion of life factor granted to it by the Firefly already included the parasitic factor. Once it fully fuses with the Firefly factor, you may also gain improvement just like Kim…]
[After adapting for a while, Kim ultimately sheds the giant spider container and switches back to the Shadow Dancer container.]
[Seeing you and Flanda waiting for it, it explains that it now understands what the great Firefly left within its body. However, although this container is much stronger than the Shadow Dancer, it is simply too large and inconvenient to move. It still prefers something smaller…]
“That makes sense. Small ones are cute too.”
Lin Xun could not help but mutter a comment. A giant container like that would actually suit him quite well.
During normal exploration, he could use a humanoid shell. When fighting a BOSS, he could transform into something even larger than the BOSS itself… a BOSS. Just imagining it was already extremely perverse.
[Flanda leads you into the laboratory while speaking to you. She tells you that she had just entered the laboratory to take a look. You may be disappointed. There is no divine body that the Desire Wet Nurse created for herself.]
[As Flanda says this, her expression becomes complex, as if she saw something inside that made her uncomfortable.]
Lin Xun’s heart sinks.
He had long anticipated that obtaining the divine body created by the Desire Wet Nurse would not be so simple, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.
[You quickly pass through the passage and arrive inside the laboratory…]
[The interior of the pyramid-like laboratory is vast and empty. Everything is visible at a glance.]
[Countless pods are embedded in the surrounding walls. Some are large, some small. The creatures soaked within them have all decayed and rotted. The largest pod on the wall has already ruptured. Judging by its size, you determine that the Spider-Type Executioner escaped from it.]
[The experimental subjects that failed to escape the pods have all rotted into lumps of decayed flesh inside.]
[What draws the eye most is not the pods embedded in the walls, but a unique small pod hanging down from the tip of the pyramid.]
[The small pod still seems to retain vitality, slowly pulsing like a heart.]
[Through the flesh membrane, you can see the figure inside the pod with its eyes tightly closed. That face is extremely familiar to you. It is none other than Flanda.]
[However, it is different from the Flanda beside you who has returned to human form.]
[The clone Flanda within the pod, although maintaining a humanoid shape, can no longer be considered human at all.]
[Her entire body is wrapped in exoskeletal carapace covered in barbs. This exoskeleton is not extended from a mask, but instead grows and spreads directly from her flesh.]
[From her back grow bone wings as sharp and pale as nails. Judging by the wingspan of the bone wings and the length of the spikes, you can imagine that she does not need to rely on her legs to walk at all. She only needs to drive the bone wings into the ground to support her body and move forward rapidly above the ground.]
[Her hair is also extremely strange, like countless slender worms hanging down from her scalp to her waist.]
[The clone Flanda sleeps with her eyes tightly closed. Even so, you can still feel the powerful pressure continuously emanating from her body in rhythm with the pod’s pulsation.]
[You have discovered the Ascended Prototype Purgatory Angel!]
A thought flashes rapidly through Lin Xun’s mind.
“This shell should be the greatest reward in the hidden laboratory map!”
“As long as I can kill this Purgatory Angel, I will be able to obtain the shell!”
