1314 Now, He Will Start Making Trouble!
w.a.n.g Teng’s heart sank when he heard Ukpur’s report.
Nine days!
He only had nine days left!
Nine days later, the devil ovum would be completely revived. It would even grow faster and reach an unprecedented height.
!!
No one knew how terrifying the devil ovum was better than w.a.n.g Teng. It would represent a catastrophe for the whole human race if the thing exploded.
Humanity would be doomed even before the war officially started.
The young man’s mind worked furiously to somehow find how to turn the tides.
He could ask General Cameron to storm the place if he ran out of options. He had already found the apparition’s nest; storming the place could be an option to destroy it.
That plan was good.
However, they would need to pay a huge price, and risk failing in the end.
Their hideout defenses were extremely strong; they were three-layered even. w.a.n.g Teng found this out while checking the place.
Furthermore, there was a restricted zone filled with Devil Vines and many dark apparitions patrolling.
All the powerful apparitions were gathered there, along with the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t have much hope for a sudden raid’s success rate.
Even if they managed to storm their way in, they wouldn’t be able to stop the apparitions from escaping with the devil ovum.
That would be troublesome.
The ovum would cause endless trouble if it ever exploded.
However, our hero still planned to tell General Cameron about it. His clone had reached the main base, so he could relay that piece of news to the General; that way the higher ups could make their own decision.
He wasn’t the appropriate person to make such a decision; it was useless to stress about making a choice.
As for his own actions, he would continue his plan. The dark creature’s base was a good place to act. The apparitions there were amiable, kind and good to talk to; he could get more attributes from them.
Once he milked all the attributes he could, he could make his getaway with Moira if General Cameron and the others decided to rush in.
w.a.n.g Teng made his decision, then stared at Ukpur with a strange expression.
He was using Moira’s body, standing before him respectfully. This feeling was quite… amazing.
Moira was actually an arrogant and lofty person. If she ever found out her body was controlled—and that she did such embarra.s.sing things while she was out of it—she would very likely kill him.
Ukpur felt uncomfortable, being looked at in such a way; he felt a chill in his heart. Does this human have some weird fetish?
He was using the body of a human female. Based on mankind’s aesthetics, the lady was quite good-looking. What if this human takes the chance to do unspeakable things? Should I resist?
That was a serious question.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t know what Ukpur was thinking. He gave a dry cough and asked, “Cough. The origin crystals, are they the Origin of Darkness crystals?”
“Yes.” Ukpur nodded. He was surprised to find that w.a.n.g Teng knew of their existence, as it wasn’t common knowledge among martial warriors below the universe stage. There were only a few others who knew.
“Looks like Devil Emperor No Brain went to great lengths this time.” w.a.n.g Teng touched his chin.
He found relevant information about origin crystals in the Devour Nihility Beast’s memory, so he knew what they were.
Origin crystals, as their name suggested, was a type of crystal with the power of origin condensed inside.
Only universe stage martial warriors could grasp this power, which showed how rare those crystals were.
Normally, there were two ways to get origin crystals—
One was to find them in nature; however, this was difficult. There were many harsh conditions to meet and a long time was required for the crystals to form. Just like normal ores, it could take tens of millions of years or even longer.
If you were to compare, the immaculate energy stone mine was nothing special.
This was a question of probability.
The likelihood of origin power merging into various ores to become crystals was much lower than the chance of immaculate Force merging and condensing into crystals.
Thus far, the most frequent places where origin crystals appeared were extremely mysterious secret realms. Those places were isolated small worlds; the power of origin would appear there on occasion. If conditions were met, origin crystals could be formed.
The second way to get origin crystals was for universe stage martial warriors to compress their own power until origin crystals were made.
Not many powerhouses would volunteer.
The power of origin was hard to cultivate, and warriors of the universe level and above viewed their personal cultivation as critical. Who would step out and release their power of origin and condensed it into crystals for others, for no reason?
Well, unless they were poor and this was the only way to earn money. However, formidable martial warriors with financial problems were rare.
Another reason could be that they wanted to leave those crystals for their descendants, because they sensed that they had one foot inside the coffin.
But, that situation was also rare.
For instance, there were no origin crystals back when our hero received the legacy from the Flaming River Universe Lord.
That powerful expert was aging rapidly at that time, so he needed his power of origin to keep himself alive. He had none of it to spare and make crystals.
That was how things stood.
That was why only a few universe stage experts were willing to exhaust their power of origin to make crystals.
“… No Brain?” Ukpur felt the corners of his lips twitch. This fellow is still going at it.
If Bare Brain knew how he was being called, that fellow would have an untimely death.
w.a.n.g Teng’s ranking on the must-kill list would very likely rise higher.
That said, this was a good way for one’s reputation to rise.
Ukpur seemed to have found a new path.
“If there’s nothing else to report, help the metal scorpion with the mining. Finish quickly in case something comes up,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
O(╥_╥)o
Ukpur’s heart started bleeding again.
Is this something a human would do?
My mine!
Ukpur couldn’t resist. Tears welled up in his eyes as he lifted the metal spade and reluctantly started digging.
Huff, puff…
The scorpion turned and glanced at the other, scoffing. Poor fellow.
Ukpur was furious. This scorpion needs a beating.
There weren’t many immaculate energy stones left. Thanks to their combined effort, the human and the scorpion finished digging everything up within one night. w.a.n.g Teng took all the immaculate energy stones; his pockets were stuffed with them.
He asked Ukpur to go back, and told him he would contact him if required.
Then, he sent the scorpion back to his s.p.a.ce fragment before turning into Justin again and going back to the dark apparitions’ main base.
The following morning—General Cameron sent a message back and asked w.a.n.g Teng to steal the devil ovum as soon as possible. Seven days was the allotted time window; they would raid the nest if he failed.
“A two-day buffer?”
w.a.n.g Teng was at the resting area of the Devil Armor Race. His eyes s.h.i.+mmered when he received the order, and he gradually came up with a plan.
It is time for me to make trouble!
