1318 This Is a Bad Person!
Little by little, the goblin slid down from the wall. Some time later, he shook his head and opened his eyes. He seemed to have fainted from the impact just then.
Although he was intent on getting up, he suddenly noticed a figure standing right in front of him.
He raised his head instinctively and met a pair of eyes with a strange and evil glow in them.
What kind of eyes were they?
Deep, dark, with a tinge of purple. They gave off a noble gaze, as if the owner was above all living creatures.
The goblin immediately felt his consciousness being sucked into the pair of eyes. Indeed, he passed out.
Some time passed, although no one knew how much when the goblin woke up. He looked at the figure covered in purple-black mist and his expression changed. He felt troubled.
He could feel that he was being controlled. He couldnt offer any resistance and could only comply.
Compared to how gentle Wang Teng acted when using the Enchantment on Wendell, the recent two times were considerably rougher. Wendell had been the first, and there was the fear of messing up; that is why it was gentler the first time executing the charm skill.
As for the last two uses, they had been used on dark apparitions, so he did it with less care. He planted the seed of enchantment forcefully, in such a way that the other party had no chance of resisting.
The goblin was a low-tier devil emperor, and his spiritual power didnt exceed the controllable range. That was why the charm cast was successful.
The goblin crawled up from the ground and spoke in a respectful tone. Master!
Whats your name? Whats your status among the dark apparitions? Nihility asked indifferently.
Im Jackeri. Im a scientist! the goblin replied honestly.
Scientist! Nihility didnt know what to say. It felt as if the latter were joking around.
He found the statement funny; a goblin, covered with burn marks, had just said that he was a scientist in a serious tone.
Anyone who witnessed the exchange would think the fellow was lying, or that he didnt have any connection with that so-called identity.
Jackeri felt the sarcasm in Nihilitys voice and became furious. The green skin on his face turned red, making for a weird sight.
He controlled his anger and repeated his identity with a stern voice, Jackeri is a scientist!
The goblin would have pounced on Nihility if the seed of enchantment hadnt been implanted.
He felt humiliated.
Cough, all right, youre a scientist. Nihility nodded seriously.
He needed to self-reflect. One mustnt judge a book by its cover. That was a real scientist. Look, he knows how to make a bomb.
Jackeris expression softened a little after that response. He was a little frightened; given his timid personality, he wouldnt have refuted Nihility under normal circumstances. However, the scientist status was his bottomline. He would flare up without restraint once his buttons were pushed.
Nihility didnt care about the other partys worries, going straight to the point, All right, let me ask you. Whats that devil bomb you were making?
He was controlling that goblin because he was interested in that weapon.
He knew that Jackeri didnt succeed on that last attempt, so he wasnt able to see the bombs final version. Still, his gut feeling was telling him that it wasnt a simple item.
Jackeri became excited since he was talking about his profession. He wouldnt dare check who Nihility was, yet he told the latter all he knew.
The devil bomb was a kind of biological bomb; Nihility saw the bomb squirming, since it possessed certain vital signs.
The bombs core material was the shell of a creature called Sea Skin Insect.
It was a special creature. Its body was like a shapeless pile of water. It roamed the bottom of the sea and was rare to find.
They also had a special characteristic... They ate brains!
They actually ate their own brains, in the end turning themselves into mindless, empty shells.
Nihility was stunned by their weird nature.
Why does this creature have to eat its own brain? Doesnt it know that having no brain is a serious issue?
Is it too hungry to care? But, theres no reason to eat your own brain even if youre hungry. What the hell is this?
Nihility didnt understand.
Back to the topic, only the sea creatures empty shell had vital signs. It wasnt dead.
The curiosity of intelligent beings was always high. Someone discovered that strange creature and studied it. In the end, a researcher came up with a strange idea and used the shell to make a biological bomb.
That was the origin of the devil bomb.
Jackeri obtained the bomb-making method. Being a self-proclaimed talented in science, he naturally wanted to study such an interesting thing. His aim was also to make the bomb.
Alas, no matter how hard he tried, there was no success. He would always fail at the halfway mark and couldnt continue.
Interesting! Nihility touched his chin and mumbled, Wang Teng will like this.
Being a clone, he couldnt collect attribute bubbles. The goblin didnt succeed in creating the devil bomb, but he had studied it for some time, so its experience could serve as a shortcut. Wang Teng would make fewer mistakes.
Having that thought in mind, Nihility said, Show me the way to make the devil bomb.
Jackeri immediately took out an ancient piece of leather scroll from his spatial equipment and passed it to Nihility.
The latter gave it a cursory glance and confirmed that there werent any issues. He nodded and kept it. Then, he asked, Are you the one raising the devil ovum?
Jackeris heart skipped a beat. He knew that the trespasser had a reason for being there. He was clueless at first, but the mention of the ovum clarified the situation.
Reply to me, Nihility said in a cold voice after noticing how hesitant the goblin was.
Yes, said Jackeri. His heart pounded furiously as he replied.
What stage is it at the moment? Nihility continued probing.
Jackeri hesitated before replying, Ive already used half the dark origin crystals Sir Devil Emperor gave me; they will be finished in eight more days. By then the ovum will mature completely, and itll be powerful enough to influence this planet.
This matches what Ukpur said. Nihility went into deep thought. He wondered if he should take action immediately, so he contacted Wang Teng and told him about the situation.
After some time, he blinked and then decided to put the ovum snatching plan on hold.
That was Wang Tengs decision.
Nihility gave some indications to Jackeri and then left Bare Brains great hall.
Some time later, Wang Tengs session with the Bare Brain also ended. Once again, the top elder left our hero in the forest again and traveled back to his great hall.
He directly appeared on the throne and rubbed his forehead. There was a strange glimmer in his eyes. This fellows understanding capabilities are terrifying!
The days session had also ended quickly. Wang Teng had prepared a hefty amount of questions, but the process was fast, compared to other dark apparitions. Bare Brain was astounded, feeling tired at the same time.
Having an overly smart disciple was too stressful.
That was how the Devil Emperor Bare Brain felt. He felt that there wouldnt be much left to teach with a few more sessions.
The deeper transformations required the power of origin. To him, Justin was only a devil king, which placed the latter in a still far position from grasping the power. Thus, there was no point talking about it at the moment.
Little did he know that Wang Teng had already grasped the power of origin.
Thats good. Considering his talent, hell be able to defeat the Blood Sea Domain. No matter how strong the domain is, the person executing it is the crux of the matter; a weak domain in the hands of a genius will bring out powerful effects, said Bare Brain, snorting as he anticipated the interesting sight he would have the chance to witness in the future.
Wang Teng returned to the base of the Devil Armor Race. The days harvest was bountiful; the power of his Dark Domain rose again.
The progress was inferior when compared to the previous day, but it wasnt comparable. It had been another increase on top of the boost from the day prior.
Actually, Wang Teng was able to feel that the Bare Brain was purposely suppressing him, apparently unwilling to have him develop too quickly.
That was his last chance at being stubborn!
Wang Teng understood the fellow. You couldnt force others.
Dark Domain: 2100/3000 (third-level)
Wang Teng looked at his attributes board. His Dark Domain would reach the fourth-level in a few days. That was good news.
Once back in the Devil Armor base, he appeared before the whole group, then left the base again using cultivation as an excuse. None of the apparitions suspected him.
At night, in the forest
Wang Teng sat cross-legged on the branch of a huge tree, all while eagerly looking at the leather scroll he was given.
The method for making devil bombs was recorded in the scroll.
Nihility stood right beside him. He noticed Wang Tengs avid expression and said, I knew you would like this.
As expected of my clone, you understand me so well. Wang Teng chuckled, never looking up.
That is secondary. Nihility shook his head and asked, Ive found the devil ovum. What do you plan to do?
Should we stuff a few devil bombs inside the ovum? Right when the apparitions try to use the ovum, well ignite the devil bombs and boom! The world will become peaceful again, Wang Teng described, showing excitement with shimmering eyes.
Nihility was stunned, shocked by Wang Tengs idea.
This is a bad person!
He had discovered the devil bomb first, but that idea never crossed his mind.
Indeed, he was too naive.
But, no one has ever made one of these bombs. Also, how can you be sure that the devil bombs wont be discovered after stuffing them in the ovum? Nihility asked in a hurry, once the questions popped up in his mind.
