Chapter 576: Dead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hum...”

A deep, drawn-out roar resounded in the hearts of all people within a radius of a hundred miles. As the endless waves rocked them, all the soldiers on the fleet only saw an island lined with strange rocks slowly rising in the churning sea...

In the beginning, only the tip of the island surfaced. Everyone saw that there were tens of thousands of strange rocks on the island and slender tentacles unfurled from the strange rocks. Even at first glance, those strange rocks were like tree trunks and those tentacles that stretched freely in the sunshine were the branches.

Nonetheless, the island continued to rise. One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...

Gradually, the island had turned into a high mountain that was over a thousand meters high. Due to the emergence of this huge mountain, the sea surface was like a tsunami. Waves ballooned toward them one after another as if all the seawater of the world was barreling toward the fleet!

“Steady, hold on to something, the first big wave is about to hit!”

“Agh...”

“Jack!”

Humans were too tiny. Faced with the epic waves, the entire fleet could only resist miserably but even so, the waves as high as 100 meters still flung dozens of people from the ship’s railing into the sea.

One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers...

Soon, the monster that rose in the ocean had surfaced with almost half of its body. At this time, everyone could see clearly that the row of strange, rugged rocks turned out to be the fleshy tentacles of the monster, and there were dozens of slender feelers densely growing from each tentacle!

By now, the monster had already exposed more than half of its chest. Black eyes that were bigger than the cruisers hovered above sea level, reflecting the fleet that was as small as ants ten kilometers away. Those eyes were gleaming with an eerie light.

Standing at an alt.i.tude of 100 meters, Chen Chen silently looked at the behemoth that shielded the sky in the distance. Although the distance between them was ten kilometers, for the monster, it was only a step away. The ma.s.sive bulk of this opponent was beyond human understanding. It was not surprising that even nuclear bombs were ineffective against it.

Even so, the monster was still rising. Five kilometers, six kilometers, eight kilometers...

“Rumble...”

When the monster rose to a height of 10,000 meters, its huge body had completely blocked out the sun. This was a height greater than Mount Everest. Even when Chen Chen looked at it, he could only see the monster’s lower body. Its chest and any parts higher than that were starting to look misty and illusory.

This was because the distance was too far that light itself was blurred.

Even so, only the abdomen of the monster had surfaced above the sea. Four slender, crab-like feet grew out of the sides of its chest but part of them was still submerged in the sea!

By now, this behemoth had been completely revealed in front of countless people...

Looking at this monster, Chen Chen’s pupils shrank slightly. He still remembered the nightmare he had before. The monster in the dream was the same as now. Dream and reality intertwined at this moment, which momentarily cast Chen Chen into a trance.

This was the mature body of the Consciousness Stealer!

“Hum...”

Just as the monster had risen fully into the sky, its mouth that was positioned at the junction of its chest and abdomen opened slightly but it was at this time that its long ancient roar bombarded them again!

“Ahh, ahh, aghhhh!”

“That monster, that monster!”

“G.o.d, please forgive me...”

At the moment when the sound struck again, the soldiers of the fleet all plunged into madness. Their eyes, which were either terrified or shocked, completely lost their focus. Some people knelt on the ground with a plop and turned toward the Consciousness Stealer in the distance, kowtowing vigorously. They did not even stop when a b.l.o.o.d.y wound appeared on their foreheads!

Some inexplicably tore at their cheeks in horror or even gouged out their own eyes!

Others clutched their heads and wailed loudly. They grabbed their guns and pulled the trigger while aiming at their teammates!

At the instant when the Consciousness Stealer revealed itself, the entire fleet that Chen Chen brought with him had completely lost its power to confront the enemy...

Chen Chen only felt a burst of psionic energy fluctuations that were mingled with the opponent’s roar and his ears suddenly turned hot. A stream of blood flowed out of his ears.

Chen Chen was injured for the first time.

“As expected of the Consciousness Stealer. It’s already injured me when we’ve just met.”

There was a dark gleam in Chen Chen’s eyes. He ignored the fact that the countless soldiers below his feet were in a frenzy but whispered, “X-112, turn it on.”

“Yes!”

X-112 replied crisply. Then, in the cabin of the small aircraft carrier at the rear of the many fleets, the reality anchor was swiftly activated!

“Beep, beep, beep...”

Under its st.u.r.dy sh.e.l.l, rows of red lights flashed quickly, turning into green lights. At once, unnamed fluctuations spread out at the speed of light, covering millions of square kilometers in the blink of an eye!

The tsunami-like psionic attack of the Consciousness Stealer abruptly disappeared!

“Boom!”

The instant all psionic powers were inhibited, the body of the monster 10,000 meters high in the sky immediately froze, and then its body began to topple from this height but only for a moment. After that, the monster unexpectedly regained its balance.

“Hmm?”

Chen Chen’s pupils shrank and he looked over, rather amazed. He only saw that, at the chest of the Consciousness Stealer, the vertical mouthparts opened again.

“Boom!”

A wave of air visible to the naked eye surged out of the abyss of the b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and quickly charged in Chen Chen’s direction with its boundless fluctuations. The range was so wide that Chen Chen could not even evade it!

“To think that even the reality anchor can’t suppress its psionic power?”

Watching the sky-wrecking airwave approaching quickly, Chen Chen only wore a look of amazement with a hint of disappointment. At this moment, he finally understood why the dimension of Doom needed nothing fewer than 20 reality anchors...

The blood cloud in that dimension seemed to be inferior to the Consciousness Stealer in front of him just in terms of presence alone. It was simply a pipe dream to think that he could suppress this opponent with only one reality anchor.

This thought pa.s.sed by in a flash and Chen Chen tried his best to expand his Field to protect him, but he watched the wave of air slowly break through his defenses with unstoppable momentum.

At the same time, the fleet under his feet was also shattered piece by piece in this devastating wave of air.

“We’ve failed...”

At this moment, Chen Chen closed his eyes slightly. A thoughtful look appeared on his face. “X-112, send that aircraft carrier back at once.”

Just as he issued this order, the protective Field in front of Chen Chen shattered inch by inch. He was tossed over a distance of one kilometer like a sc.r.a.p of paper and then his body exploded fully into a blood mist!

“Boom!”

Chen Chen only felt his vision go dark as he plunged into an endless void...

...

Pansy Antoine sat alone on the reef-filled sh.o.r.e.

He held a fishing rod made of twigs in his hands and a fishing line was tied to the end of the fishing rod. At this time, one end of the fishing line had gone deep into the sea, constantly bobbing up and down.

Just when Pansy felt a little impatient, suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand shifted slightly. It seemed that something was tugging at the fishing line under the sea surface. With joy on his face, he quickly moved the fishing rod slowly. Soon, he caught a sea fish that kept flapping around!

“Haha!”

Pansy let out a cheer, hurriedly threw the fish from the fishing rod to the ground, and then happily stepped forward to hug the fish. “Not bad, this ba.s.s weighs about 1.5 kilograms, enough to feed me for a day!”

It was indeed a blessing to catch a ba.s.s that weighed more than 1.5 kilograms. After all, except for some crabs and mussels, there were only fish on this island.

At this time, the middle-aged man named Pansy did not hesitate. He walked directly into the small woods beside him, picked up a few dead branches and rotten leaves, and stacked them in the shape of a bonfire. Following that, he killed the ba.s.s in his hand, skewered it with wooden sticks, and placed it on the bonfire pile.

All his movements were very well-practiced and he was familiar with surviving in the wild.

When everything was ready, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed toward the bonfire that had been built from the dead branches. Suddenly, a tiny flame flew out and went into the bonfire.

“Boom...”

The bonfire lit up immediately.

Faced with such a magical scene, Pansy looked unruffled. He knew that his superpower was obtained in the prison of Blacklight City half a month ago.

At that time, those people had injected him with a weird fluid. Since that day, he had this ability to communicate with flames and it was not just him. There were more than 5,000 people on this island and everyone had a different power.

“Pansy, it’s not nice to eat alone.”

Just as Pansy was furtively grilling fish in the grove, there was a jumble of footsteps in the distance.

Hearing this voice, Pansy’s expression shifted. He stared in front with a ferocious expression. After a while, four rough-faced men walked out from behind the trees.

“Johnson, you guys should get lost immediately, I got this fish myself!”

Pansy at this time was like a wolfdog protecting its food, with a malevolent aura flashing in his eyes.

“Hahahaha, then you have to ask if our brothers agree!”

Among the four people who suddenly appeared, the one heading them was a big man with a fierce face, with a scar extending across most of his cheek. At this time, he was staring at the ba.s.s in front of Pansy with a greedy glimmer.

“The four of us have not eaten for most of the day.”

The big-scarred-man licked his lips and smiled greedily. “But you punk, you hid in the woods and grilled your fish. If we hadn’t seen the smoke, I’m afraid you would’ve finished it all by yourself... Brothers, attack!”

The big-scarred-man did not waste any more time with blabbering. His stomach was already rumbling. At this time, he just wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the other man’s grilled fish immediately and eat to his heart’s content!

Following his orders, his three men rushed up at once and Pansy’s expression changed drastically. He immediately picked up the grilled fish as if to escape, but after taking half a step, suddenly an indescribable feeling lashed out from within his body!

“Pfft!”

Pansy felt his legs turn soft. He dropped to the ground directly and the grilled fish flew out of his grasp and rolled onto the ground.

“This, this feeling is...”

Pansy only felt suffocation gripping his body. His face flipped through various expressions as he turned his head laboriously at the same time.

He only saw that Johnson and the other three who were planning to chase him had fallen to the ground just like him, howling loudly.

“Am I going to die?”

Pansy only felt a wave of death permeating from his body and he immediately understood that he was dying.

At this moment, scenes from his life began to play before his eyes. He was born in a slum in Blacklight City and quietly grew up in an environment of poverty until his first robbery in his youth when he took the only piece of black bread from the hands of a neighbor girl.

Then, he gradually grew up and began to wander in the dark side of Blacklight City after acquiring a taste for it. Stealing, robbing, murdering... He was trying his best to survive, like the autumn weeds...

“So, I’m going to die...”

Just when he was about to reach the end of his life, Pansy seemed to see the neighbor girl again. The girl smiled at him gently, her innocent smile as bright as the sun, and at the same time, she also offered a hunk of dirty black bread before his very eyes...

“I’m, I’m sorry...”

A warm smile shone in Pansy’s eyes and then his pupils quickly dilated, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

He was dead.

At the moment of Pansy’s death, on the entire unnamed island, more than 5,000 exiled felons began to die one after another. After a few gasps, no one on the entire island was alive.

The strange thing was that a few minutes after the death of these criminals with heavy sentences, they climbed up again one by one. These dead bodies were like worms, using all their limbs to clamber toward their nearest companions.

At the same time, when the two corpses made contact, a strange phenomenon occurred —

These corpses were fusing little by little!

“Blub, blub....”

It was as if the ma.s.s of flesh and blood had its consciousness. Thousands of corpses melted and merged like beeswax, spanning the entire unnamed island. In just one day and one night, more than five thousand corpses had been integrated into three mountains of flesh, dozens of meters high!

On each flesh mountain, hundreds of limbs were constantly squirming. Some were arms, some were thighs, and some were the exposed halves of bodies. These limbs were swaying gently with the movement of the flesh mountain.

Then, these three flesh mountains also began to draw closer to each other and fuse.

Finally, two days later, the three flesh mountains had completely fused. At the same time, one side of the huge flesh mountain slowly protruded and a huge human face with closed eyes emerged from the mountain.

“As I thought, I was resurrected.”

The face slowly opened his eyes but in place of his eyes, there were more than ten thousand tiny human eyeb.a.l.l.s. These eyeb.a.l.l.s were gathered together, densely packed like a honeycomb.

“Resurrected from these five thousand prisoners?”

The huge face looked at his own body, but when he saw his own state at this time, he seemed puzzled. “Then for the next step — how should I condense my own body? I can’t always present myself to people with this face...”

As he spoke, the face laughed self-deprecatingly. “I don’t know if the aircraft carrier managed to escape, but it doesn’t matter if it hasn’t. I’ve already memorized all the parts of the reality anchor. All I ask is that the core zircon is not lost.”

With that, the face stopped pondering about all this and instead began to wriggle toward the coastline bit by bit.
