Chapter 1449 - 649: Heaven’s Aid (Part 2)
Song Qianlong was proud of his research results, but also felt a bit regretful that years of research were consumed without any ceremony.
He originally hoped for a grander farewell and the birth of the final result, rather than proceeding in such a simple way.
But as long as it succeeds, these are just minor issues.
"Come! All clones, gather within the true body! Let the child consume all of you, for that is your entire worth!"
With Song Qianlong’s excited shout, the whole Thunder City lit up in red light, centering on the corpse of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon.
These were numerous small red lights, illuminating at intervals, all collectively reflecting.
Power... the dispersed powers, each independently developed, are now about to converge, becoming one!
And this body that eventually gathers all the power will be absorbed by the child, becoming the most crucial and solid nourishment in the child’s growth!
"Come!"
Song Qianlong shouted excitedly, the Blood Pearl in his hand emitting the same brilliant blood-colored glow.
Years of painstaking research, years of patience and endurance, all for this moment!
Madness was in Song Qianlong’s eyes, but...
The unparalleled power he envisioned, the power that gathered madly... did not appear, instead, the blood-colored lights... those blood-red glows quickly dimmed, disappearing without a trace, even the light of the Blood Pearl in Song Qianlong’s hand rapidly declined, dim and dull.
"Wha...t?"
Song Qianlong’s expression froze on the spot.
"What’s going on?!"
Song Qianlong was bewildered.
The situation was completely beyond his expectations, clearly there was no mistake, everything progressed as predicted, step by step, yet at the critical moment, why... why...
Seeing the child had eaten half of the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, but the power had not increased effectively, Song Qianlong’s face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Impossible! Why didn’t it merge into one? This is the demon origin trait of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon! Also the most vital ability I selected in the screening process, why... why!!"
Bang!
Song Qianlong furiously punched the wall beside him, allowing the urgent rain to pound on his face.
Thunder rumbled.
The lightning illuminated his twisted, ferocious face clearly.
One cannot say the efforts were futile, at least the prototype of the artificial Sky-reaching Pillar had been created, but... the prototype is just a prototype, far from being complete, far from standing shoulder to shoulder with the true Sky-reaching Pillar, still lacking decades of research results and decades of feeding the Defiled Blood Clone Demon for the final nourishment!
Without this link of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, the child cannot be considered complete!
Song Qianlong looked up, towards the distance, lightning had passed, darkness descended.
In the pitch-black distance, faintly, the last fading blood light seemed visible.
"If it cannot absorb the Defiled Blood Clone Demon all at once, then eat it piece by piece! One by one! The effect is the same! Just a bit troublesome!"
Song Qianlong thought to himself, taking out the Blood-Colored Bead to inspect it again.
Buzz!
Unexpectedly, or perhaps completely surprising Song Qianlong, an entirely unforeseen situation occurred.
The Blood-Colored Bead actually lit up again with blood light, that is... the concentration of blood light indicating the location of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon’s true body!
"How is this possible?! After the death of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, can it revive from a duplicate?? When did it gain such ability??"
"Wait! No! Something is off!"
"Flickering between clear and vague, true and false... how did this happen? Where exactly is the Blood Pearl leading me?"
Song Qianlong looked towards the distance.
He didn’t know, that direction was precisely... the hidden base of the Rebel Army!!
The bloodthirsty child next to him knew nothing of what transpired, it only knew to eat! Continuously eat!
After consuming the corpse of the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, it cast its dangerous gaze at the tall man beside it, issuing a threatening low growl.
"Still hungry? Be good, child, I think we still have a feast ahead, let me take the child to have a look!"
The tall man, completely ignoring the bloodthirsty child’s threatening growl, led it to the next location.
The bloodthirsty child seemed unable to understand much, it only knew, following this man, it could eat. If the man could not provide food, then it would eat the man.
...
Rebel Army Underground Base.
"Someone is truly vying with me for control."
Ding Hui smiled as he massaged the thing in front of him, which had swelled into a grotesque mass like a twisted meat tumor.
The tumor curled in the manner of a snail, almost unrelated to humans anymore.
Limbs were shortened like snail tentacles, wriggling small, and eyes, one positioned on the stomach in the center of the body, the other on the forehead.
The other facial features, impossible to find from the front, positioned somewhere unknown on the body.
This twisted nauseating thing, full of countless tiny holes, as if pricked by thousands of pins, appeared sinister and terrifying.
Yet to Ding Hui, it seemed like a treasure, dearly cherished.
In fact, because of the successful transfer this time, the seizure of control over the true body, turning this tumor into the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, Ding Hui happily sprinkled some water on the tumor, moistening its skin.
Water flowed down from the top of the tumor, smoothly cascading down those small holes, quickly absorbed by the dry skin, bringing the tumor some comfort and sensation.
"Sir..."
Lu Qiaochun’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Her voice carried apprehension and nervousness.
She had to admit, she underestimated Divine Doctor Ding a bit.
Initially thought him merely a doctor, possessing some medical skills.
Never imagined... this Divine Doctor Ding turned out so twisted...
Not just her, anyone who had seen this tumor would be wary of Divine Doctor Ding.
Ever since Mr. Diao left the base to carry out his tasks, Divine Doctor Ding seemed unbound, using increasingly bold and twisted means, the screams of the tumor so loud they could be heard through several walls, no one dared approach.
Such madness, such abuse of the same kind, isn’t he a psychopath? Who dares to work with a psychopath...
"What is it?"
Ding Hui’s mood was good, originally just through resonance, wrestling with the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, like a tug-of-war, binding this power bit by bit within Song Xi’s body.
But as soon as the plan began execution, just when it affected the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, impacting its power-unifying ability, he discovered the true body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon had issues.
In a tug-of-war, if one side suddenly lets go, the winner would be obvious.
"Interesting, interesting! It is a clever take, but also time, place, and people are aligned! Truly heaven helping me!"
Ding Hui thought secretly, and by then Lu Qiaochun continued.
"Sir, Foolish Underworld has already cooperated with us, should Song Zhenrong still be kept held? In addition, he has been persistently requesting a meeting with Mr. Diao and wishes to see his sister. Sir, how should this be arranged?"
Before Fang Yu left, he handed over the authority to Ding Hui, both Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji had to follow Ding Hui’s arrangements, safeguarding Ding Hui’s safety.
In case of any issues, naturally they turned to Ding Hui for reporting.
After all, as other Ministers had already left with their respective crews, within the whole base, the highest-ranking ones were her and Yu Ji.
The problem is, both have to comply with Fang Yu’s orders, adhere to Ding Hui’s arrangements.
Therefore, Ding Hui equates to the current highest-privilege manager in this base.
Upon hearing Lu Qiaochun’s report, Ding Hui almost expressionlessly slowly turned around, looking at Lu Qiaochun.
"Captain Lu, what do you think Song Zhenrong would do if seeing his sister’s current appearance?"
"..."
