Chapter 1288: Chapter 338: Contract of Overstepping Authority, Come Back to Me

But the Black Tide Energy has no self-awareness, it doesn’t think, nor can it distinguish the quality of the energy.

It only operates according to preset programs.

With the help of the potion energy gained from devouring, the Black Tide once again surged towards the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, and this time the repair efficiency sharply increased.

The residue of the Divine Eye and the Black Tide Energy constantly clashed, wearing each other down.

Meanwhile, the Black Tide Energy split off a portion of its strength to continue devouring the Tower.

With a continuous supply of energy, the Black Tide Energy gradually gained the upper hand, beginning to repair the damaged body of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

First, the deep wound on the chest of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was drawn together, stitched, and filled by the Black Tide Energy.

Then, the fractured bones made a crisp breaking sound under the wrap of the Black Tide Energy, the twisted bones shattered and reformed.

Even the shattered associated battle armor on the surface of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s body slowly restored to its original state under the influence of the Black Tide Energy.

The most difficult to repair were the internal organs and nerves.

Especially the internal organs.

The shattered heart (core) of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was beating exceptionally weakly, as more and more energy rushed in to join the repair effort with the continuous transformation of the tower material.

Finally, after several attempts, this energy core, covered with dark red veins, began to pulsate autonomously, pumping mixed energy throughout the body with each contraction.

At this moment, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit completely escaped its near-death state.

After completing the repairs, the Black Tide Energy did not dissipate.

Instead, it coated its body with a layer of barrier, continuously providing power and protecting the Earth Thought Evil Spirit still in a coma.

...

hours later.

The consciousness of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit slowly surfaced from the depths of darkness.

The first thing to recover was pain perception.

It felt as if every inch of its bones had been crushed and reassembled, as though countless tiny blades were churning in its muscle fibers.

This pain instinctively made it want to curl up, but it found that even its fingertips felt as heavy as lead.

But only after a brief adaptation, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit endured the unimaginable pain.

Slowly it opened its eyes, and its blurred vision gradually became clear.

Forcing its heavy body to sit up.

In front of its eyes was the perforated tower platform, with the light of the Evil Moon shining on it, scattered broken light spots everywhere.

The nostrils were filled with the unique scent of the Black Tide, but mixed with a faint unfamiliar one.

Seemingly, the residue of the Divine Eye’s aura had not yet completely dissipated.

Memories surged like a tide.

The surprise attack of the Civilization Army, the sacrifice of the Evil Eye, the bone lamp of the Holy Hall Guard, the stubborn resistance of the four major allies... and finally that absurd scene.

The defensive line built by two archenemies, and their fearless charge against the Civilization Army.

It knew it had survived.

But the questions of the time remained unanswered.

Why would the Player Clan and the Insect Race come to its rescue?

If it were them, it would undoubtedly slaughter the Player Clan and Insect Race caught in a crisis without hesitation, leaving no chance of overturning.

Just as the Earth Thought Evil Spirit fell into contemplation, a wave came from the Tower.

Realizing there was external information, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit slowly raised its arm, spreading its fingers.

Immediately, countless black streams of light seeped from the cracks in the Tower, converging into its palm like a flock of returning crows.

These black energy flows wrapped around its palm, gradually condensing into an irregular multi-faced crystal.

The core surface was riddled with cracks, and inside, cloudy dark red energy surged, like a heart violently sewn together.

This was one of the cores of the Tower.

Without the assistance of the Evil Eye, it could only connect to the Tower’s nodes itself.

When the Earth Thought Evil Spirit placed its palm on the core surface, the frenzied information flow crashed directly into its consciousness, bypassing the Evil Eye’s filter completely.

"Earth Thought Boss, you’re finally awake, I was worried sick!"

"Earth Thought Boss, welcome back, how are you feeling now...?"

The voices of the four major allies exploded simultaneously on the conscious level, making it instinctively frown.

It slowly withdrew its hand from the core, maintaining the connection across the spirit network, then calmly said:

"I’m fine."

The simple three words made the four big bosses all breathe a sigh of relief.

Ghost Teeth impatiently asked:

"Earth Thought Boss, my Assistant Eye detected a decrease in energy intensity of your Tower."

Faced with the inquiry, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit appeared very calm, explaining the process of Tower decomposition feeding back to the Black Tide Energy.

It indicated that to heal its injuries, the Black Tide actively decomposed part of the Tower, resulting in reduced Tower strength.

The positioning of the Tower and the Black Tide Energy is like the Player’s Life Soul comprehensive Level and Qi-Blood, spiritual power positioning.

A portion of the Black Tide Energy obtained from each war is used by the Earth Thought Evil Spirit to upgrade the Tower.

The stronger the Tower, the stronger the Black Tide Energy it releases.

A weakening of Tower strength is like the weakening of a Player’s Life Soul Level, directly affecting the attribute values of Qi-Blood or spiritual power.

But regarding this, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit didn’t care.

This time, it narrowly escaped death.

Just as Evil Eye had said when it first came to Monster World.

Unexpected situations can arise at any time, perhaps in the next second they will become dust.

This is the cruelest truth of Monster World, planning grand blueprints for the future yesterday, maybe today they become the stepping stones for other races to reach the peak.

The shadow of death is everywhere. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

A weak monster may suddenly be swallowed by a powerful predator while foraging, and a strong lord may be erased by forces applied by an even stronger entity.
