Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 678 - 352 Shout Out My Name, Belial Dusk_2
Now no one will ever know my secret.
The golden storm rises once more; the giant body disintegrates into light particles and collapses. Belial Dusk retreats from its giant form, transforming back into the Victory Demon.
"It’s over..."
The Victory Demon’s crimson glow fades away and vanishes through the Space Gate.
Qin Shou raised his hands, finding them still in a gray state, his heart sinking.
The abnormal power lingering within his body was troubling.
...
Hanhai City.
With the assistance of the Dark Lopps, all the monstrous Cannibal Flowers across the globe were eradicated, yet the scars of war still stretched across the planet.
Zhang Yida and the others released their transformed states, sweat-soaked as they lay across the shattered streets, gasping for breath.
"Ha... hoo... Thank goodness... Thank goodness for the giants... Otherwise, this time we really... really would’ve perished..." Zhang Yida showed a smile full of relief after surviving the ordeal.
Xi Zhao, lying exhausted nearby, wiped a streak of blood from his cheek and joked, "I didn’t expect you, normally so unreliable, to think about self-sacrifice in such a critical moment."
Zhang Yida chuckled, "Of course! At least there’s compensation for sacrifice."
Xi Zhao: "..."
Shaking his head in exasperation, he glanced toward the devastated city, a sadness apparent in his gaze.
"So many lives lost in this battle; our strength is still far too weak."
Dong Shan and the others fell into silence as well.
"Hum..."
Suddenly, in the sky appeared a blazing sun—no, it was light!
At this moment, skies across the world revealed golden Time Watches, their golden hands ticking backward, reversing time rapidly. Everything started to retreat as if rewinding, yet the monstrous Cannibal Flowers did not resurrect. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Ordinary people were unable to perceive this; to them, it seemed they had just awoken from a vivid dream.
However, Xi Zhao and the warriors imbued with Positive Energy were acutely aware.
They watched wide-eyed as the dead were brought back to life, shattered buildings restored to their former splendor, and ravaged cities once again thriving—a breathtaking miracle before their eyes.
"This... What on earth is happening?"
"My god, is this a miracle?"
Zhang Yida stared in shock.
"No, this isn’t a miracle."
Qin Shou stepped out of the Void, his face pale, and approached the group.
Reversing the time of an entire planet—once before, using Elder Long’s power—had left his body increasingly frail.
Although unlike the last time, this period of weakness was much shorter.
"Landlord Brother, it’s you..." Zhang Yida was startled.
"How did you show up?" he asked.
Before Qin Shou could respond, Xi Zhao had already spoken.
"It was you, wasn’t it? The time reversal just now and the giants—we owe it all to you, don’t we?" His expression grew serious.
Qin Shou nodded and smiled, "That’s correct, but right now isn’t the time for explanations."
Extending both hands, he said, "Let me borrow your strength."
"What is this?"
The group exchanged confused looks, unsure of what to do.
Qin Shou explained, "This is abnormal power. Use the light in your hearts to help me dispel this force. Can you do that?"
His frail body was no longer capable of dispelling the lingering abnormality from Abnormality No.1 on its own.
Only Positive Energy could eradicate the residue left by Abnormality No.1.
Zhang Yida was the first to agree without hesitation.
But scratching the back of his head, he muttered, "The light in my heart—what’s that supposed to mean?"
Qin Shou shoved him aside, "You’re not the one for this." Then he turned to Xi Zhao and the others.
Zhang Yida’s Positive Energy was too weak; it was better to rely on these dependable folks.
Zhang Yida: "..."
It’s over—no heroic display for him, and the Landlord Brother definitely wouldn’t grant him a free house now.
Xi Zhao and the others exchanged glances. Without much hesitation, faint radiance began to emanate from their brows—a mysterious light entirely opposite to the abnormal—enveloping Qin Shou’s hands.
Visibly, the gray streaks on the back of Qin Shou’s hands slowly faded, leaving only his palms stained gray.
Sweat dotted their foreheads as the glow dimmed on their brows.
"Sorry, this is as far as we can go," Xi Zhao apologized.
"No worries, you’ve already done so well."
After Qin Shou’s words, Zhang Yida quickly squeezed his way in front of him, obsequiously saying, "Landlord Brother, I can help too."
"No need. I have better candidates."
With that, Qin Shou took a step into the Void and disappeared on the spot, leaving Zhang Yida with a look of indignation.
"Come on! I’m a Golden Armor Warrior—a trailblazer in the legal profession—am I really that bad?" he grumbled.
Xi Zhao gave Zhang Yida a pat on the shoulder, consoling him, "It’s okay. We don’t mind that you’re weak."
Zhang Yida’s face immediately darkened.
...
Dongli City.
A dark silhouette stared in awe at the restored city, thunderstruck.
"Wu Dai, lend me your strength for a moment."
A familiar voice rang from behind, and Wu Dai turned, surprised and delighted.
"Dr. Qin, why are you here?"
"Told you, I only look like him."
Qin Shou raised his hand, showing a palm faintly seething with gray particles...
...
Time flew by—before one knew it, a month had passed.
Love Apartment.
On a sunny morning, Qin Shou drew open the curtains, stepped onto the balcony, and basked in the beauty of the day.
"Ah, what a wonderful world this is; oh, how fresh the air feels..."
With arms wide open, Qin Shou smiled, squinting at the sky.
"Don’t bother; doing that won’t help you gain Positive Energy," Leng Wanbai reminded him from behind.
Qin Shou: "..."
"Just a try, won’t hurt!"
He chuckled lightly, reaching into the Void to retrieve the speeding Spider King.
"Buzz... buzz..."
Engines roared endlessly. Qin Shou tossed it skyward, and Spider King turned to phantom light, racing along the colorful rainbow bridge in the sky until it disappeared into the sunlight.
"Go now—find your real master," Qin Shou said with a smile.
"What, not planning to keep playing with it anymore?" Leng Wanbai approached, speaking gently.
Qin Shou shook his head. "No more. No.1 was right—I can’t stay in one place forever. I have something to search for, truths I want to uncover, and I can’t just stop here."
Leng Wanbai gave a gentle smile and leaned into Qin Shou’s right arm.
"Alright, I’ll go with you."
The morning sunlight graced her fair-skinned cheeks, revealing an enchanting radiance.
Momentarily dazed, Qin Shou smiled wide, "Fine by me."
"Oh, wasn’t there someone on Heavenly Artifact Continent last time who said they’d go with you too?" Leng Wanbai suddenly asked, her smile turning sharp.
Qin Shou’s grin froze. "Haha, uh... probably not, right?"
"Really?" Leng Wanbai gazed fixedly at him.
"Of course." Qin Shou maintained his composure.
Leng Wanbai chuckled slyly, "I happened to make a recording at that time."
Qin Shou’s expression darkened instantly, and his tone grew ominous.
"Do you know what it means to expose someone’s lie right on the spot?"
Hearing this, Leng Wanbai’s heart gave a little lurch—a silent cry that something wasn’t right.
"You scoundrel, take this—my fatal scissors kick!"
"Ahhh..."
...
Deep beneath Water Blue Star, near the Dark River.
Qin Shou stood at the riverbank with hands behind his back, lost in thought.
Back on Monster Planet, despite only possessing Unbreakable Realm-level strength, he had uncovered the secrets of the Dark River. So why had Abnormality No.1, after so many years on Water Blue Star, failed to discover this river?
Moreover, many experts from Monster Planet and Heavenly Artifact Continent had also failed to uncover the Dark River.
Yet, on Sika’s planet, someone like Sika—a total weakling—managed to find it.
It doesn’t add up.
Wait, that’s it!
A flash of insight struck Qin Shou.
Sika’s bloodline was rich with highly concentrated Dark Energy, and back then he himself had awakened both Light and Dark Energy—is this the reason?
Frowning deeply, he couldn’t confirm if his speculation was correct.
After a long pause, Qin Shou shook his head. Whatever the truth, what was meant to happen would happen.
Water Blue Star’s Special Shooting Fusion World was incomplete. The abnormalities were eradicated, but humanity persisted, meaning new abnormalities would inevitably arise.
Qin Shou wasn’t terribly concerned; the new abnormalities wouldn’t be strong, and Zhang Yida and the others could handle them—it’d merely be a convenient source of villains.
However, with so many Special Shooting Worlds interwoven, increasing their similarity was exceedingly challenging.
This meant he needed to find one or more "parallel spaces" for the Special Shooting Fusion World.
He had once used Elder Long’s power to search through the vast star systems near Water Blue Star but failed to locate another Life Planet.
Thus, creating "parallel universes" required methods to replicate one or even multiple Water Blue Stars.
Replication of an entire planet was currently beyond Qin Shou’s capability.
Even if he advanced to Divine Realm, it would remain impossible—his Mirror Core was only Demigod-level at its peak.
Perhaps only by obtaining the Mirror Core from a Divine Realm expert on Mirror Planet could he replicate an entire planet!
Resolving himself to action, Qin Shou gazed toward the space channel at the end of the Dark River, eyes narrowing.
Through the Light and Dark River, could he locate the star system where Mirror Planet resides?
