This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!-Chapter 116 - 4: Birth of the Demon Eye

After dealing with the beads, Udi flapped his dragon wings and flew towards the Dragon Nest.

Nightfall descended.

Alone in the Dragon Nest, Udi suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at his abdomen.

There, the dragon scales and flesh seemed to writhe like living creatures, and waves of chaotic mental shock bombarded Udi’s mind.

Udi sensed the message conveyed by this flesh—excitement.

They were extremely excited and joyous.

As the flesh and dragon scales squirmed and twisted, they seemed to be absorbing some kind of power, growing...

While resisting the chaotic mental shock transmitted by the mutated flesh, Udi watched helplessly as the range of living aberrant flesh on his abdomen expanded.

In a short period, several fist-sized black tumors appeared on Udi’s abdomen, desperately squeezing out a pitch-black demon eye inside, which spun erratically.

The birth of the demon eye further amplified the chaotic mental shock.

Moreover, not only was the flesh on Udi’s abdomen undergoing aberrant proliferation, but the few pieces of flesh he had torn off and thrown aside earlier were also mutating and proliferating at a visible speed.

"These aberrant proliferating demon eye tumors aren’t sucking my power." Udi did not feel weakened despite the demon eye tumors proliferating in his abdomen; his power remained unabated and strong.

Then... where did this power come from?

"During the day, if the demon eye tumors aren’t touched, they remain dormant, but as soon as night falls, they become excited and ecstatic..." Udi pondered, uncertain.

"Could they be devouring... darkness?"

With the Banquet time not yet arrived, and no solution at hand, Udi could only resist the chaotic mental shock of the demon eye tumors and indulge in random thoughts.

The chaotic mental shock wasn’t particularly strong. Even though its intensity kept increasing, Udi felt confident he could endure it for months at this rate.

"When I first contacted the demon eye tumor during the day, the message was clear." Udi recalled the message transmitted by the demon eye tumor during the day.

[He initiated conquest; He established civilization; He ultimately found his lost self]

But at night, the message became incomprehensible and completely indecipherable, leaving Udi irritated.

As he indulged in thoughts, the night passed, and the sun rose.

At the very moment when the night faded, the once-active demon eye tumors began to gradually fall silent, eventually ceasing to move, and the chaotic mental shock stopped, and the clear message was no longer conveyed.

Udi lowered his dragon head, looking at the tons of black tumors proliferating on his abdomen and the hundreds of closed demon eyes, unsure of what to say.

A casual swipe of the Dragon Claw, and these tumors were torn off and thrown aside, rolling together with the other large lumps of demon eye tumors on the ground.

Udi cast several water healing techniques on himself, the wounds gradually healed, and the dragon scales grew back, though they were still somewhat immature and would take some time to recover to their original strength.

"Now I’m back to normal." Udi said self-deprecatingly.

Glancing at the large lumps of demon eye tumors nearby, Udi had an idea.

He asked the Dragon-blooded Maids to find three test subjects.

A common creature, a Jungle Giant Rabbit, an Intermediate Demon ’Fire Ape,’ and a Level 4 Goblin Warrior who volunteered to become a test subject.

Each of the three test subjects consumed a palm-sized piece of demon eye tumor.

After waiting for a while, nothing happened.

"The mutations probably occur when night falls." Udi mused.

Time passed, and night was about to fall.

In the desolate Dragon Nest, only Udi and the three test subjects remained.

When Udi sensed his abdomen’s previously dormant demon eye tumors starting to stir again, he opened his eyes and looked at the three test subjects.

As night fell, the once-quiet test subjects’ flesh started to surge, and a black tumor grew from their bodies, eventually breaking through the skin. A pitch-black demon eye squeezed out from the tumors, just like Udi’s situation, except the demon eye tumors were much smaller.

Quickly, under the chaotic mental shock, the Jungle Giant Rabbit went mad, scurrying around in a frenzy, its consciousness lost.

"Did its Spirit collapse from the demon eye’s shock?" Udi shook his head, and the invisible Mage’s Hand restrained the Jungle Giant Rabbit, rendering it immobile.

Udi turned his gaze towards the Intermediate Demon Fire Ape and the Goblin Warrior.

As time went on, black tumors grew over their bodies, one after another, each squeezing out a pitch-black demon eye.

When more than half the night had passed, the Goblin Warrior’s consciousness also collapsed under the continuously accumulating chaotic babble, and the deranged Goblin Warrior even tried to attack his master. To this, Udi merely thought, and the Mage’s Hand bound it firmly, rendering it immobile.

The night passed.

In the end, only the strongest Fire Ape survived without its Spirit collapsing.

However... the once fiery red fur, robust body, and relatively noble appearance of the Fire Ape was now bloated and covered with dozens of tumors of varying sizes, looking extremely repulsive.

Nevertheless, the Fire Ape did not die, nor did its Spirit collapse; it was in remarkably good condition.

"I need to find more test subjects." Udi thought.

Over the next twenty-odd days, more than a hundred test subjects entered the Dragon Nest.
