I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1690 - 1190: His Own Choice
"I think just sewing it up is enough." Zheng Yichen reached out to stop Tia, touching the cold steel pillar.
"That won’t work, you’ve been cut in two, you need to reconstruct the connection, otherwise you’ll end up with a half-body that takes away your strength."
"...Will that double my combat power?"
"You’ll only become weaker because of it."
"Alright, I’ll trouble you then." Zheng Yichen released his hand, not knowing what that half-body was, but certainly not something like a three-corpse.
He didn’t take that path nor did he understand that stuff.
Tia pressed Zheng Yichen onto the hospital bed, cut the back of Zheng Yichen, and inserted the steel pillar. Throughout the process, Zheng Yichen only felt the wound was numb.
When he had been cut, he was like this, able to feel his body being sliced apart, forcibly merging his body to continue fighting, but factors like pain had distanced from him.
It wasn’t until the steel pillar was completely inserted into his body that Zheng Yichen barely grinned, it hurt terribly!!
Afterward, Tia wrapped Zheng Yichen’s eyes with bandages, his eyes weren’t seriously damaged, it was just an overuse of willpower interference, directly exploding them, the impact on the brain was negligible.
Zheng Yichen was no longer normal, brain damage couldn’t affect him; at most, it might impair his thinking ability temporarily.
As for the arms.
Tia looked at Zheng Yichen’s empty arms and started crafting, she directly wove two arms from bandages and hung them on Zheng Yichen.
The arms made from bandages became like normal arms wrapped with bandages.
They even moved according to Zheng Yichen’s thoughts.
"Ah... I can feel my arms, this time so quickly?" Zheng Yichen waved his hands, the sensation still a bit dull, but didn’t hinder his movement.
"No, it’s just a substitute. Your arms need to regrow on their own."
"...Alright."
Zheng Yichen sighed, "I’ll rest for a bit."
"Evil woman..." Feeling Zheng Yichen’s aura calmed down, Tanshia Firlo resentfully glared at Tia.
Even if Tia had pieced Zheng Yichen back together, in Tanshia Firlo’s eyes, it was merely to better exploit her Fosterer.
To prevent the Boundary Breaking Organization from growing, as she wished, her Fosterer had tried so hard, yet Dusk still didn’t seem willing to let him go.
Tia said nothing, continuing to monitor Zheng Yichen’s condition.
"It was his choice." Watching the small white dragon’s now fierce and transformed eyes, Tia remained unmoved, Zheng Yichen could have directly abandoned the Dragon City Planet.
He could have even destroyed this planet entirely, leaving the Boundary Breaking Organization with nothing, but he chose the hardest, yet most effective way to combat the Boundary Breaking Organization.
There has never been a group that could truly confront the Boundary Breaking Organization, though there are many in the Dusk Mercenary Group, they hardly have any who wish to truly oppose the Boundary Breaking Organization.
Their interests are more entwined instead.
But what Zheng Yichen is doing now is establishing a real foundation.
A true frontline that can play against the Dusk Organization, even if this foundation is still very fragile, very easy to destroy, but it is a breakthrough from zero to one.
If Zheng Yichen wanted it easy, he could completely avoid doing these things.
"That’s for you guys!"
"It’s also for himself." Tia’s words left Tanshia Firlo speechless.
If the Boundary Breaking Organization could be thoroughly destroyed, there wouldn’t be so much trouble in the future, without the root cause of problems, even if Zheng Yichen couldn’t escape from Dusk, he could retire all the same.
Most matters wouldn’t need his involvement, so many Dusk mercenaries could handle most things.
And Zheng Yichen taking on a task once every ten or eight years... Is that work? That’s more like travel.
Unable to argue with Tia, Tanshia Firlo wanted to throw a tantrum to make trouble like a child, no matter how one says it, the Dusk woman before her is just a cold, heartless, evil woman!
"When will Fosterer recover?"
"A week."
"...And his assignment?"
"As usual."
Tanshia Firlo gritted her teeth, glaring at Tia, if it weren’t forbidden to fight within Dusk, she’d want to tear this Dusk woman apart, even if the other was just an executor, not representing Dusk entirely.
But she wants to vent.
"Take good care of Fosterer!" After saying this, the small white dragon ran out of the medical room, afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back anymore if she stayed.
"Sigh~ Kids." Tongyue gently shook his head, arguing with Dusk nuns, what’s the point?
Their value systems differ, what makes them angry, to Dusk it’s just a breeze, felt it once and that’s all.
No matter how miserable Zheng Yichen was, Dusk wouldn’t be moved, even iron trees might bloom, but Dusk follows the darkness.
"Being upset is still inevitable." Julie reached out to touch Zheng Yichen’s thigh, hand starting to move upward, only to be caught by Zheng Yichen’s hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Just checking your reaction. You’ve been sectioned, and if you’re missing some vital functions, wouldn’t that be quite boring?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Zheng Yichen snorted, "I still believe in Dusk’s capabilities, don’t touch me, I want to sleep!"
"You sleep, I won’t disturb you... By the way, do you have any regrets?"
Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrow slightly, "I’ve already done it, and now you’re asking if I regret it?"
"True, I just didn’t expect you to be so resolute."
Zheng Yichen was silent for a moment before saying, "Resolute? Right now, I’m still young, easily moved by many things, so that’s why I can do this, I guess. If I don’t do it now, I might not be able to do it later."
"Then I wish you never to forget your original intention." Julie looked at Zheng Yichen, whose eyes were wrapped in bandages, and gently traced her fingers over his chest, "It’s nice to have this kind of mindset."
She never had the mindset like Zheng Yichen’s.
"Stop touching, it’s ticklish!"
"Oh, you’re shy now." Julie joked with a smile, "Just get some proper rest, everything outside should be okay now."
With that, Julie left the infirmary and went outside the Dusk Cathedral, looking at this crude Box World.
The sky had no stars, and the only visible celestial bodies were the sun and moon that originally came with the Dragon City Planet—these were all that was left of the Misty City World.
The world traits of the Dragon City Planet supported this Box World.
The Box World has no growth potential; it’s like this now, and it’ll remain the same countless years later until the core of the Box World can no longer sustain it and it collapses.
But for now, this place is quite healthy, with these hidden dangers absent. The Firmament Wheel turns slowly in the sky, and Lilith is polishing this Box World.
To speed up the completion of this Box World, she used a shortcut, which will lead to many unnecessary tasks later, but doing so prevents Zheng Yichen from suffering a second cut.
The advantage of the Box World is that the Great World’s Will cannot interfere here at all. Although the Heaven-Slaying Weapon can be effective, it first needs a target to select.
Now, the Box World is in concealment; even if the Boundary Breaking Organization has frozen this part of the world environment, preventing them from escaping, it still takes time to locate them.
The freezing has already affected their search. Without the freezing method, this Box World would be like a drop of oil in an ocean.
Insoluble in water but also hard to detect.
So, this place is very safe for now, and as for if the Boundary Breaking Organization does use the Heaven-Slaying Weapon to cut this Box World in the future... let it be.
Better not to stop what can’t be stopped, only even if the Boundary Breaking Organization did that, they shouldn’t expect to gain anything.
Think about it—they’ve invested so much yet still haven’t achieved what they wanted, which is gain from their perspective.
"I seem to see hope for retirement," Julie said wearily as she sat next to Wu Lingluo.
When Zheng Yichen and Lilith were creating the Box World, they weren’t idle either.
Their task was to fish for fragments of the Will of the World alongside Senluo.
The new batch of mist phenomena was easily deceived, attracted by the abundant environment soil, and emerged right away.
Then it was simple. The beasts generated by the Will of the World fragments were strong, but this was their territory.
Local Hell’s Will suppression, along with the two Earth Gods near Dragon City having thoughts—that made the beasts created by the Will of the World like pigs tricked into a slaughterhouse.
Not only could they not exert much strength, but the Will of the World fragments integrated into the beasts also had to remain altogether.
The Earth Gods obtained some of the Will of the World fragments, while Lilith collected and stored the rest, delivering some to them to serve as material for crafting equipment.
"How much did you see?" Wu Lingluo asked with a light laugh, looking at a fragment in her hand emitting tiny particles of light.
"About as much as a firefly," Julie replied casually, "At least there’s some light, right?"
"Yes," Wu Lingluo nodded, stood up, and walked towards the Dusk Cathedral. She didn’t go to see Zheng Yichen; there was much to do here, and as Zheng Yichen went back to the infirmary, a representative from the Dusk Mercenary Group found her.
They wanted to trade for the Will of the World fragments.
A very practical exchange—they were willing to offer various rare, even top-notch, materials but didn’t discuss anything about confronting the Boundary Breaking Organization.
That’s also normal; the light of a firefly is not enough to interest the Boundary Breaking Organization to the extent of a large-scale commitment, and many Dusk mercenaries have lost confidence after the Boundary Breaking Organization’s success.
And even more so for the Dusk Mercenary Group, they’ve collaborated to grow stronger; why would they insist on running headlong into the Boundary Breaking Organization?
Even if the Boundary Breaking Organization ceased to exist, where would they get so many ’missions’ to earn merit points? Without sufficient merit points, how could they enjoy Dusk’s omnipotence?
So, this negotiation was destined to be full of intrigue.
For instance, regarding the materials for the Heavenly Vessel Fate Mirror, they could provide some but not all.
And this ’difficult’ is metaphorical; of course, rhetorically, they didn’t say it’s impossible to provide, just that it would take a lot of time to gather them, a reason that was flawless.
After all, many of the materials needed for the Heavenly Vessel Fate Mirror are indeed hard to collect, or even impossible to gather normally.
However, she could see through some of the Dusk Mercenary Group’s intentions.
Although most of the details in the negotiation seemed fine, if Zheng Yichen were to conduct it, he probably wouldn’t find anything, but these things couldn’t escape Wu Lingluo.
Let Zheng Yichen stay in the infirmary; he has done enough already.
