Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 876 - 248: Source of Evil

The massive body of the Final Giant Beast was suddenly entangled by countless scarlet chains.

These chains, purely composed of sacrificial power, tightened quickly after covering a certain extent.

Roar!

Though the Little Mage wasn't controlling it, the Final Giant Beast still let out a painful roar, its mountain-like body violently trembling under the binding of the sacrificial chains.

Instinctively, it chose to struggle frantically, with its sharp claws tearing at the chains, yet unable to shake them in the slightest.

The body began collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, not being compressed or deformed, but rather contracting as if on a higher-dimensional level.

Like a three-dimensional picture being forcibly folded into a two-dimensional plane.

The claws were still sharp, the bone spikes still menacing, but the overall presence was rapidly diminishing.

Crack! Crack!

Cracks, similar to the sound of breaking glass, echoed from the surface of the Final Giant Beast.

Ultimately, all the chains connected with each other, completely sealing the Final Giant Beast inside.

And in the spot where the Final Giant Beast had originally stood, only a fist-sized dark red crystal core remained floating.

Soon after, the scarlet chains reappeared.

But this time, they burst directly from within the Little Mage, wrapping around his body.

Feeling the oppressive weight brought by the chains, the Little Mage let out a pained grunt.

It felt as if something was being extracted from the depths of his soul.

The neural tendrils of the Memory Bag writhed frantically under his skin, like parasites unwilling to leave their host.

The chains entwined the blood-colored tendrils, as if pulling some kind of viscous gel.

Finally, the Memory Bag was completely pulled away from the body, compressed into a crystal core glowing with a ghostly blue light.

Inside the crystal core, countless memory fragments flowed like a starry river, with faint glimpses of scenes of the Blood King's cross-border conquests flickering within.

The constant reorganization of memories was like a three-dimensional book being quickly flipped by an invisible hand.

With the Memory Bag gone, the memories about the Blood King immediately dissipated.

He only remembered his own experiences and knew who the Blood King was, including the memories he had viewed, but this memory felt incredibly thin.

Finally, under the control of the Guidance, the two crystal stones fused, abruptly disappearing from sight.

The Challenger Tips resounded in the Little Mage's mind:

[Challenger Tips: Successfully created special Life Soul "Unnamed," which can be viewed in your personal Space Bag.]

Summoning the personal Space Bag, the last row of the items section filled with various resources now contained an ominous dark red bead.

Inside, the miniature version of the Final Giant Beast maintained a skyward roaring posture, each bone spike intricately detailed.

Focusing his consciousness, the relevant information surfaced.

[Unnamed Life Soul (Special Life Soul)]:

Trait Effect: Composed of the Final Giant Beast and the Memory Bag, once embedded in the Star Vein Slot, the Memory Bag part will be implanted within, allowing the summoning of the Final Giant Beast into armed mode at any time.

Note: The Final Giant Beast cannot grow through Hunting; it can enhance the strength of the Life Soul by devouring blood and energy to optimize its combat genes.

...

Looking at the Life Soul worth millions in his bag, the Little Mage felt a mix of complex emotions.

There was both joy and sadness.

The happiness came from this unimaginable wealth he had never dared to dream of before.

As an ordinary player, he had often fantasized about striking it lucky while exploring in the Monster World and getting rich quick.

But that kind of fortune meant ten thousand sacrificial power.

Yet unexpectedly, because of this accident, he had gained a special Life Soul.

Adding to the drained Blood Pool, the slain Blood Slave, and the resources in his personal bag yet to be handled, the total gain surely exceeded two million sacrificial power.

This was a wealth he never dared to dream of.

Before the teleportation activated, he'd already decided how to spend this money.

In the realm of reality.

He would sell ten thousand sacrificial powers, converting them into real money, preferably universal earth coin.

Then head to Eclipse City, arrange for life-extending surgery for his family and himself, order the latest virtual game equipment from the Moon Eclipse Clan, and purchase a robotic butler that automatically changes nutritional tanks...

In the game, he planned to spend the remaining sacrificial power on Body Refining Level, Star Vein Slots, and Rune Resonance Weapon.

With the leftover money, he would create a top-tier vehicle with a design guaranteed to turn heads...

It was sorrowful that this sudden accident had killed the beautiful future he had fantasized about.

Unless he completely returned to reality and quit the game.

But if he did that, what joy would life hold?

His parents were all scrambling for slots to enter the game; the pollution-stricken reality couldn't compare to the fun of the Virtual World.

As his thoughts churned, the Little Mage named the special Life Soul as the Source of Evil.

Then he dragged it into a Star Vein Slot for embedding. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Instantly, he felt an energy flowing within, like a sensation of being filled, as if some hollowed part inside him was being replenished.

He activated the Eagle-headed Demon Perception.

In the inner vision, the Memory Bag reappeared, with neural tendrils spreading under the skin, winding more densely than before around his bones and organs, and finally coiling back into a familiar blood-colored core in the center of the chest cavity.

The lost memories of the Blood King returned.

As for what the future holds, he planned to take it one step at a time, first mingling with the Spirit Breath Clan for a while.

He would provide forum players with war deployment data from the Spirit Breath Clan, acting as an insider to dispel any animosity they held against him.

The only uncertainty was whether any players would still be willing to trust him.

...

Two days later, in Tianqi City.

Underneath the dome of the Spirit Breath Royal Court, the eight thrones had gathered.

The Little Mage took his seat in the identity of the Blood King.

The meeting wasn't about discussion but to watch the Floating Giant Beast's investigation of the otherworldly.

In the crystal stone image, the colossal Floating Giant Beast disassembled into countless floating organisms after entering the Space Channel, with a similarly massive Floating Jellyfish following it from behind.
