Chapter 588 - 297: Heart of the Giant Statue (Part 2)
Now, the hatred emanating from Ai Nuan is directly comparable to the negative emotions of Golden Level Evil Thought.
So, her potential is not yet exhausted.
If she were killed, it would be somewhat wasteful. She could be given to Diane, where a master-servant contract could be signed, obtaining greater value.
Diane always intends to build an Undead Legion.
That battle had wiped out much of her savings. Except for those bound by contracts, such as Bone Dragon, Or, and the like, the rest perished in that battle.
This included the complete demise of that Witch Demon Dragon.
Baiyi observed the Heart of the Giant before him, a look of obsession gradually appearing in his eyes.
Is such a perfect artificial heart truly man-made?
He reached out to touch the Heart of the Giant, a slightly sticky, soft sensation assaulting him.
Buzz~
A faint connection seemed to form.
Baiyi froze, turning his head to look at the tanks connected to the heart’s blood vessels.
Following the connection, Baiyi nonchalantly removed gear from a corpse and discarded it.
This is a Golden Evil Mage, and the equipment on him is self-made Golden-level Equipment.
It has some value, perhaps enough to be placed in the Legion’s Merit Store.
Upon arriving at the pool filled with hearts, Baiyi saw a heart beating.
Could this be... his own heart?
Baiyi furrowed his brows, glanced back at the Heart of the Giant, and looked at the heart again, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
This place is nurturing the next Guardian of the Heart of the Giant.
It seems that due to his proximity, this heart is about to become the main body of the Guardian?
Baiyi pondered for a moment, choosing not to disrupt this nurturing ritual.
He hadn’t fully devised a way to use this Heart of the Giant, but it would likely be utilized in creating a giant or some large machinery.
Connecting the Heart of the Giant to the Star River Battleship could be... quite advantageous.
It could directly replace the need for an Energy Core, bypassing the Star Core Battleship’s need to extract energy from the World.
It would also allow Baiyi to build the Star Sea Battleship much sooner.
And as for the Guardian...
Baiyi extended his hand, his fingertips touched his heart, letting a trace of Spiritual Power invade it.
After a slight attempt, Baiyi turned back to the Heart of the Giant, intending to alter the new Guardian’s operational mode.
In Dongwu City, there’s no need for a Scavenger; a Guardian is required, one that guards just this heart.
The creation of S Series City Defense Mecha, Celestial City, Star Sea Battleship, and Giant manufacturing.
Four places could use this heart, but it can only serve one.
The sequence would be Celestial City first, followed by the S Series City Defense Mecha, then the Giant, and lastly, the Star Sea Battleship.
The Star Sea Battleship is so challenging because it’s an artifact from several eras ago. Many Rules are inapplicable, and Baiyi needs improvements to bring it into this era.
As for the Giant, he already has two remnants of the Giant.
Though they didn’t originate from the same Giant, his progress is substantial.
Pondering this, Baiyi’s vast Divine Power surged forth, and in Ai Nuan’s trembling, fear-filled eyes, the half-collapsed cave began to quake.
And it started to collapse further.
But then, Baiyi fell silent.
He couldn’t move it... some force resisted his pull.
Baiyi considered for a moment, turning around; his scarlet eyes became terrifying.
But then his lips slightly curved upwards as a golden ball appeared in his hand, and the Extreme Evil Domain was cleaved open.
"Come with me, or try this out."
Baiyi tossed the latest Sun Salute: Fierce Sun, and a feeling of impending crisis at the level of Destiny filled Ai Nuan’s eyes with terror, making her involuntarily want to retreat.
But as her hair tightened at the moment, she resisted her instincts and stopped.
Her eyes were fixed on the golden ball in Baiyi’s hand.
She had been blasted by this thing before, but compared to this Sun Salutation, the one from Moon Side was just a toy. She could easily snuff out that Sun Salutation, but against this one, she only wanted to flee.
Baiyi calmly observed the heart, pondering that these Giant remnants could naturally sign on Guardians, even preparing in advance, nurturing new Guardians.
At least they possess some faint consciousness; Baiyi wasn’t sure if they could comprehend him, but threats were always the most direct method.
After waiting quietly for a while, Baiyi’s power surged again, and the Heart of the Giant remained motionless.
Baiyi’s eyes displayed contemplation—was the threat insufficient?
This version of Sun Salute indeed could only threaten Legendary at best; it had too much room for improvement.
Retrieving the Sun Salute, a bottle of pitch-black potion appeared in Baiyi’s hand.
A peculiar fluctuation came and went.
Thump, thump, thump...
The heartbeat suddenly grew more intense, and Baiyi felt something loosen.
It had to be something from the Ancient Gods.
The Undying Curse could actually threaten the Heart of the Giant!
In that case....
"Come with me, and all will be well, otherwise...."
The Hive appeared, instantly transforming into a temporary potion stand.
Baiyi decisively began preparations for the Summon Black Death Curse ritual.
Having already maxed out this ability, the summoning process was rather quick; with a hint of Power of Dimensions appearing faintly.
That seemed to be the aura of Evil Secret·Black Death.
Thump, thump, thump....
The heartbeat suddenly became violent; Evil Secret·Black Death was an ancient power from many eras ago, almost all Saints had perished, yet It remains at the pinnacle of the World.
The value of Evil Secret·Black Death was already evident.
The Heart of the Giant was gently lifted by Divine Abomination Power.
Including the three metal tanks and one heart tank it was absorbing.
Canceling the summoning of Black Death Curse, spatial ripples began to emerge around.
Baiyi observed the non-resisting Heart of the Giant, a trace of satisfaction flashing through his eyes, and he glanced at Ai Nuan, who had reduced herself to the minimum size, trembling, behind him.
Baiyi initiated teleportation.
He didn’t use the teleportation array in South Spirit City, instead traversing space repeatedly, taking about two minutes to reach outside Dongwu City.
After all, his aura was acceptable in Dongwu City, but entering South Spirit City would terrify many into collapse.
However, Dongwu City was different.
Baiyi passed over Dongwu City; except for newly arrived residents, the whole city was trembling yet gazing at the sky in reverence.
Baiyi’s identity as a Divine Abomination was just a legend in other cities, but in Dongwu City, it was reality. The residents feared and revered this evil power, even... felt secure because of it.
When evil becomes the evil that protects them, no one truly despises it, because the life of their dreams was brought about by this evil.
"What’s this?"
Diane was the first to come out to greet, curious about the enormous heart.
"A gift for you."
As Baiyi spoke, a slight movement of his hair revealed the trembling, curled Ai Nuan beside Diane.
Both their eyes lit up simultaneously, joy filling their hearts.
After all, Ai Nuan’s Sanity Value kept dropping from spending only a short time with Divine Abomination, feeling on the verge of collapse.
And this beautiful woman before her?
Not just equipped with appealing gear, her temperament felt incredibly endearing to Ai Nuan.
In comparison, she was virtually a goddess!
Ai Nuan was moved, opening her arms with tear-filled, scarlet eyes, wanting to rush over, only to be restrained by a hair, unable to move and could only look at Diane pitifully.
And Diane’s joy, while due to receiving the gift, was...
But then she was taken aback: "Who gives gifts that are all Undead Creatures...."
Baiyi paused briefly, slightly helpless: "Caught in passing, as for a proper gift... it will come."
Relaxing his grip on Ai Nuan, Baiyi inquired: "How’s Luoning doing?"
"Asleep, her Spiritual Power and Destiny were greatly exhausted." Diane said, carefully tending to the sleeve that the teary-eyed mature lady clung to.
Stretching out, with a Hexagram Array cleaving open: "Place your hand on it, you’ll become my retainer."
Ai Nuan glanced over, having completely discarded any thoughts of escape, decisively pressing down.
Contract signed!
