Chapter 373-1: Child of Evil, Firefly Extinguished (1)
[The hideous head that had rolled off to the side had already lost all signs of life, yet suddenly spoke softly. Outsider, stop making futile struggles. You cannot kill It.]
[Firefly lured you into killing this useless youngster. Aside from forcing the child to be born early, it serves no purpose at all…]
[As soon as the voice falls, the ugly head completely withers, turning into foul-smelling dust, and a shadow slips free from it, darting swiftly into the headless corpse’s abdomen…]
[The headless corpse before you, with its high-swollen belly, suddenly tears open!]
[A hand stained with blackened blood rips through the mother’s abdomen, stretching out from within the clone’s belly…]
[Another arm follows, then both arms brace themselves against the torn opening and haul the whole body out from within!]
[It is like an Ascended insect shedding a rotten shell, and also like an evil ghost long dead, crawling up from the deepest level of the Nether Prison, using a useless Shell to complete its rebirth!]
[A naked young human male, having violently torn open his mother’s abdominal cavity, appears before you!]
[Even the bloodstains covering his body cannot hide the tattoos that cover him. Vein-like black tattoos spread from his chest, running over his entire body.]
[Visible malice coils thickly around him. You can feel that this newly born offspring before you is not strong, and in fact is very weak compared to you.][He stares at you full of malice, yet the corners of his mouth cannot help but curl upward into an extremely eerie smile.]
[You have discovered the Incarnation of the Desire Wet Nurse – Desire Primordial Fire Child of Evil!]
Lin Xun’s heart jolted.
The new offspring’s name carried the prefix ‘Desire’ rather than ‘Ascended,’ which meant that what it inherited was not the stolen Ascended factor, but the life factor originating from the Wet Nurse’s fundamental power.
And the ‘Primordial Fire’ most likely came from Clone Flanda perfectly fusing the Firefly factor and then passing that factor down to the new offspring, because the main god name of Firefly was Primordial Firefly.
As for the final ‘Child of Evil,’ that needed no explanation. It was the product born after the fusion of the Evil factor.
The new offspring before his eyes had actually fused three completely different life factors.
[With the Child of Evil’s birth, the palace you are in, the island beneath your feet, and the entire Sacred Nest Ninth Layer all begin to shake violently!]
[Endless malice wells up from the raging ocean beneath the island, turning into visible streams of energy that pierce the barrier of the temple and pour into the newborn’s body!]
[The countless angel warriors and old offspring all become nourishment of malice, turning into food for its power…]
[The new offspring stretches his arms wide in a sky-embracing pose. His body rises into the air, floating as he passively accepts the endless malice flowing into him.]
[The black tattoos all over his body grow ever deeper, and the aura of pressure he emits becomes ever stronger!]
[You know you must immediately kill the new offspring. If you let it keep absorbing malice, it will grow into the most terrifying existence in this world!]
[You slam a foot into the ground, unleashing a blast of savage strength. As you twist your waist and swing your arm, the greatsword in your hand scatters a crimson blaze of blood light…]
[The sword edge touches his neck, and you feel a brief resistance. You suddenly exert your strength, breaking through skin, bone, windpipe, and all other barriers layer by layer, and hack off his head with a single stroke!]
[The head rolls to the side. Having learned from last time, you whip up the Scarlet King’s Sword and bring the wide, heavy blade smashing straight down.]
[With a wet crack like smashing a watermelon, the Child of Evil’s head bursts apart, red and white fluids spraying everywhere.]
[You do not see a shadow slip free once more from the fragments of the head, which allows you to breathe a slight sigh of relief.]
[Suddenly you feel that something is wrong. When you turn your head, you see that the headless body is still absorbing the surging malice!]
[Black energy spills from the severed neck, condensing into substance, and in the span of a blink, a completely intact head regenerates!]
The text was scrolling at high speed. It seemed like a long time had passed, but from the moment the new offspring was born until now, only a very short time had actually elapsed.
Lin Xun had only managed to launch a single probing attack before he understood that no matter how many more attacks he made, they would have no effect on the new offspring.
At this point, there was only one path left to take.
[The Child of Evil’s eerie smile does not change. In a blur, he once again transforms into a lush and graceful mature lady.]
[Her gauzy robes cannot conceal her proud figure. The mature lady sways her waist lightly as she walks toward you, speaking softly as she comes…]
[Outsider, Firefly’s failure is already decided. Why do you persist in your delusions?]
[Even if by some one-in-a-million chance you help Firefly kill Her, after She dies, Firefly will also get rid of you, a foreign outsider.]
[Only She has never harmed you from beginning to end and even let you taste the most intimate pleasures. Why are you so unwilling to let go of your obsession?]
[If you are willing, It will take you away from this world on the verge of destruction, back to your homeland, that beautiful homeland from which the Evil factor once spread, and let you become a supreme existence, one that transcends all things…]
[The mature lady walks up to you and reaches out, about to gently caress your face…]
[You do not fall into depraved desire as you did last time, because the Wet Nurse before you, or rather the Child of Evil, is far from as powerful as Clone Flanda was.]
[The power of consciousness needs a body to be expressed, and the Child of Evil, who has not yet absorbed enough malice and has yet to grow, cannot possibly make you lose yourself.]
[You suddenly swing your arm, and the blood-colored greatsword slices off the hands that were about to touch your face!]
[A pit core shaped like a black gemstone appears in your hand, and it contains an immense amount of malice aura directly belonging to the Extreme Delusion Fruit!]
[You open your mouth and, without hesitation, swallow the Core of Extreme Evil in one gulp…]
[With your decisive strike, the mature lady before you once again transforms back into the form of the Child of Evil.]
[He sighs helplessly and steps back two paces. The sigh is still in the gentle voice of a woman.]
[Once swallowed, the Core of Extreme Evil chills you from mouth to stomach with a cold that seeps into the bones and then spreads through your entire body…]
[You suddenly feel that the Child of Evil before you is like a magnet, and the raging malice is like metallic powder.]
[So long as the Child of Evil exists, the endless metallic powder will be drawn in and cling to this magnet.]
[At this moment, however, you have also become a magnet, a far stronger magnet. The malice that clings to you will only be greater than what clings to the Child of Evil!]
[The malice aura rising from the sea surface becomes a vast torrent, most of which surges toward you!]
[Only a few wisps of malice aura remain for the Child of Evil. You were already far stronger than it to begin with, and with the aid of the malice aura, it is even less able to pose any threat to you.]
[The malice aura flows into the palace faster and faster, to the point that the Flesh Palace cannot withstand the raging malice. As the tremors grow more violent, the entire temple collapses and crumbles!]
[The temple’s dome caves in, and the blood-red crystal walls shatter into flickering dust and vanish…]
[You stand amidst shattered walls and broken pillars, with the floating island beneath your feet and the raging sea below.]
[Once you have absorbed all the malice in the Sacred Nest Ninth Layer, you will be able to draw all the malice covering the Child of Evil to yourself and then annihilate it in one stroke when it no longer has malice upon it!]
[The Child of Evil acts as if it has not noticed you absorbing malice at all. It gently smooths the hair by its ear, then pauses as it realizes that this new offspring’s body is male.]
[It chuckles softly and speaks gently. No wonder you refused, Outsider. So that is the reason…]
[Actually, changing the structure and appearance of a fleshly body is the simplest thing in the world for her. As a main god of the flesh, this is her most basic authority.]
[As she speaks, the flesh on the Child of Evil’s body squirmed rapidly. The short hair instantly grows into a head of smooth, flowing locks. The flat chest rises and swells into full curves.]
[Both arms and legs become long and pale, and the sturdy waist becomes slender and delicate.]
[Most astonishing of all is her face. The life factor inherited from Clone Flanda already made her exceedingly handsome. Now that handsome face twists and writhes, turning into a peerlessly beautiful visage that could make souls spin.]
[The Daughter of Evil speaks softly. Do you like this appearance? If you do not, she can change this body’s structure and features to match the people of your homeland…]
[Of course, the premise is that you must tell her what your homeland is like…]
[You do not understand where the Daughter of Evil’s confidence comes from, and you ignore her words. The surging malice leaves you no room for further thought.]
[You feel the Shell growing stronger than ever before, faintly breaking through the enormous gulf between transcendent and immortal!]
[You sense a realization in your heart. Perhaps you do not need to passively wait until you have drained the Sacred Nest Ninth Layer of malice. So long as you break through to immortal, you can throw off the constraints of rules and strike down the Daughter of Evil before you with a single sword!]
[The Daughter of Evil allows you to absorb malice without interference. She even crosses her arms over her chest with one hand propping her chin, watching you calmly as you absorb the malice.]
[She speaks slowly and softly. Outsider, did you know? Firefly is about to perish…]
