My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 525 - 500: Time Machine, Horror Civilization (Two-in-One)
It could even be more exaggerated to say.
This man-eating trait is the fundamental orthodox trait of the Zombie Race.
They are the true direct lineage, the ancestors. My kind, with mind control, are just a wild offshoot, a branch of heretical demons.
"Eating humans to become stronger... in terms of talent, no less." Li Qing took a deep breath, feeling a burning anticipation in his heart.
The way that guy fought was beyond bizarre, and it wasn’t like I hadn’t seen it.
The attack would harm the soul, and it could strengthen itself while consuming the soul’s talent core of others...
It’s much more impressive than Black Star’s Dumbing Aura.
It’s like having an aura that reduces talent, with every attack permanently reducing a portion of the enemy’s talent while continually enhancing oneself, eventually reaching an inhuman figure.
Who would dare fight you then?
The deterrence alone is frighteningly terrifying.
Thus permanently reduced talent can only be improved through Immortal Grass and Immortal Elixirs, which isn’t a simple matter.
"Let’s give it a try."
Li Qing’s action force was strong, and he directly started consuming people.
But who to consume?
Of course, it was the batch of average 90 single cells he had just created in his palm.
Swish! Swish!
With continuous absorption and exhalation, a kind of exhilarating pleasure like drinking a cold beverage arose in his mind.
So satisfying.
So exhilarating.
His brain felt like it was ascending, tingling and buzzing, and his talent was crazily improving with the devouring.
Combat Talent 110...111...112
Finally stopping at the level of 121, the single cells in his hand completely drained and turned into dead matter.
"The speed of improving talent is somewhat faster than during the previous battle with Gal."
Li Qing thought for a moment and quickly figured out the reason, "It must be because these single cells have high talent... and they are naive and bewildered, without the ability to resist, simply allowing me to devour them."
He began to sit cross-legged, silently sensing all of this.
After a few hours, Li Qing discovered that his talent had started to fall.
Slowly decreasing.
Ultimately, the consumed talent left only 2 points, turning into permanent talent.
"It only retained a part?" Li Qing pondered for a moment.
Gal, at that time, originally had temporary enhanced talent, no wonder it was so exaggerated at 130, which isn’t something normal creatures can reach, and afterwards, it would fall back.
"But retaining a part as permanent talent is also quite perverse." Li Qing took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling brightly.
It doesn’t matter if it falls back.
Retaining a part, doing it multiple times, won’t it completely improve over time?
Li Qing did as he said.
He extended his palm, nurturing and cultivating, starting to create a new batch of Awakening single cells, and then absorbing them again.
One year, two years...
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand years had passed.
Li Qing continually secluded himself, performing monotonous repetitive experiments, enhancing over and over again, retaining a portion and permanently solidifying it.
But, in reality, he didn’t feel bored at all.
This feeling was like some people cheating in a game, constantly enhancing innate attributes secretly, enjoying it, just wanting to nurture a top-grade character.
"The four Uncertain Levels are all about various ways of cheating... Am I now a form of cheating too?"
Li Qing found the current Cosmos Realm quite peculiar, it’s about who has the bigger cheat.
And putting aside these chaotic thoughts, after multiple rounds, his combat talent quickly became a permanent level of 110.
But the further he went, the slower the speed of improvement, needing countless bewildered single cells for just one point, which Li Qing didn’t mind, just slowly accumulating was fine.
Probably others find it hard to eat people, inconvenient... but it suits me perfectly!!
I can easily create a batch of super high-quality, non-resisting naive single cells... self-produced and self-consumed, ready for immediate consumption.
At the same time, a bizarre thought emerged in Li Qing’s mind.
I create them, feeling my body being emptied, then consume them to replenish, and my body immediately recovers? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Self-produced and self-consumed, is this an alternative perpetual motion machine?
Or maybe, the shared trait between myself and Gal’s zombies, is it actually one representing life, the other representing death?
I create, he destroys?
Combined, is it the true origin of the zombies?
No wonder this man-eating path feels so compatible with me.
If that’s the case, it explains why upon seeing him for the first time, I instinctively wanted to devour him.
Because only by devouring him can I become complete.
"Now it’s getting slower, let’s settle with 110 combat talent for now, enough to crush everyone, and slowly improve afterward."
With things resolved and people fully absorbed, Li Qing planned to return.
After all, he was never combat type, and his demand for combat was not high. If he had some lackeys for battle, he would have watched from behind a long time ago.
Moreover, now having defeated Gal, eliminating a huge heart ailment, there probably won’t be more battles anytime soon, there’s no need to rush in this area.
Even if there is combat, it’s probably scheming and plotting in chaotic ways, no more straightforward physical confrontations.
Li Qing withdrew the Super Space-Time Minecarts that were guarding Gal, letting them resume mining; no need for martial law here, and he himself quickly executed multiple jumps, returning to the Crystal Series Cosmos.
This trip outside lasted over two thousand years by now.
Li Qing took another look at the outside Dark Matter Civilization’s incredible era, looking at the Million Gods, his expression suddenly became somewhat stiff.
"I was out for such a brief period, how did they become so outrageous?"
The Incredible Era, Year 14891.
The Million Gods’ research institutions, after studying the Crystal Wall Giant God’s laboratory, overturned prior conclusions, deciding that the Crystal Wall Giant God may not be a perfect Ancient God, but possibly the next realm of the Ancient Gods.
