Chapter 715: Chapter 353 Beetle City, Full of Extreme Evil _2

He can’t afford to let anything happen to this big shot.

To be on the safe side, he simply summoned the Valkyrie, commanding her to stay and protect Flandre as well.

After making all the preparations, Lin Xun left the mine and headed for ’Toon City’.

While on the bus, he took out his destiny-changing artifact and began to roll the dice.

Although Flandre was still evolving, it didn’t stop him from using the ’Damaged Umbilical Cord’ to find out the location of the ’Complete Umbilical Cord’.

After all, in order to roll a high luck value, one would either have to be incredibly lucky or try multiple times...

Soon, he put away his artifact and settled down at ease on the bus.

Rolling twice in a row and not breaking twenty in luck value made it clear that his luck was not good today and it was not advisable to try again.

[As the shaking in your abdomen subsides and the flesh membrane on both sides opens, you see the grand city of ’Beetle City’ blanketed with snow in the distance.]

[Looking at the sky above the center of the city, the source of the swirling snow comes from a massive creature that obscures the sky— the ’Feathered Pilgrimage Angel’.]

[The ’Pilgrimage Angel’ no longer has the white butterfly appearance when we first met, its two pairs of scalloped wings are covered with dark spots, the shapes are like the shadows of lush branches.]

[The giant creature is soaring at the very top of the city, very far from the ground. You should be able to enter the city for exploration without being noticed by it.]

[Will you go into ’Beetle City’ for exploration, or challenge the ’Pilgrimage Angel’?]

The Pilgrimage Angel is a gene weapon created by the Wet Nurse and is much stronger than Lin Xun originally was.

Unlike the experimental version of the Purgatory Angel, the Pilgrimage Angel is a fully developed standard weapon.

Looking at the previous battle results, although this BOSS’s shell potential is probably not as good as the Purgatory Angel, the level should be very high, and the health bar is ridiculously thick.

Now that he possesses the shell of the Purgatory Angel, as well as Shikigami such as the Nine-tailed Fox and the Sly Ghost, the odds of challenging the Pilgrimage Angel are extremely high, and he can probably take down this BOSS.

But Flandre’s warning made him understand that he can’t be reckless at the moment. If he wants to kill the Pilgrimage Angel, he at least would have to wait for the Wet Nurse to remove the control of the ’Hive Mind’.

The ’Hive Mind’, a special attribute different from any previous ones, doesn’t seem to enhance combat power at all.

Both ’Fallen Karma Fire’ and ’Fallen Dragon Seed’ increase the strength of the corresponding shell and enhance the effects of related skills.

Even the Knowledge obtained in the Level Four difficulty can not only increase brain capacity and enhance resistance to being shot in the head but also enhance the power of the Mage.

As for the ’Hive Mind’, for now, it only functions to repair the mask of the carapace and also to repair the exoskeleton armor.

As for the control of ownerless consciousness mentioned by Flandre, it’s unclear whether it’s due to the low level of special attributes, but there is no indication of it for now.

Lin Xun really wanted to kill a few more BOSSes to continue enhancing and developing this special attribute, but the Pilgrimage Angel in front of him could only be observed but not pushed.

[You have entered the body of the ’Fire Worshiping Ninja Master’!]

[You turn around gracefully, open a pair of dim eyes, and enter the stealth mode.]

[Stepping on the thick layer of snow, you gradually approach the large city...]

[Due to the ’Pilgrimage Angel’ being too far from the ground, the snowfall is still heavy, but it is not enough for the raging blizzard to destroy the buildings. The city’s buildings are covered in thick white snow, but they have not collapsed and still stand intact.]

[As you gradually approach ’Beetle City’, you can already see figures wandering on the streets from afar.]

[Most of them retain their original insect-like form, but their eyes are filled with malice, they laugh silently and creepily, their laughing mouths reaching their ears, tearing apart their clawed mouthparts.]

[That malicious and dark creepy smile makes your spine chill.]

[Only a small part of the feathered creatures have lost their human form and become plant-like eerie beings. Their slow-moving feet are made up of vigorous roots, their body replaced by a tree trunk, and their limbs formed by branches and leaves.]

[A protruding head hangs among the dense branches and leaves, also laughing creepily.]

[You’ve found the ’Extremely Evil Feathered Resident’!]

[You’ve found the ’Extremely Evil Feathered Guard’!]

[You’ve found the ’Extremely Evil Feathered Trader’!]

[You’ve found the ’Extremely Evil...]

Lin Xun couldn’t help but draw a cold breath.

"Damn, this malice is even fiercer than the T-virus. If it spreads on a wide scale, it could destroy a city, or even a country."

As a disciple of the New World, he was now privy to many insider secrets.

In the Chapters of the Book of Salvation, there were also end of the world Chapters filled with zombies. There were apostles from within the organization who had brought the virus into reality, attempting to cause widespread panic.

However, the virus could only work within its original Chapter, and it was incapable of infecting creatures in other Chapters, let alone transforming the real world into doomsday.

Once exposed in reality, the virus would immediately lose activity and stop having the ability to infect.

Only the source of Doomsday could bring about a significant negative impact on the real world.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but indulge his imagination, wondering what would happen if he could control ’the Pilgrimage Angel of Extreme Evil’ and bring it back to the real world for a spin...

But that was just a thought. The Pilgrimage Angel was too big to be parasitic, and even if he could possess or parasitize it, he wouldn’t use that to influence the real world.

"The speed of the malice’s spread is so fast, I must speed up my exploration and control the malice before the Wet Nurse!"

He felt quite anxious.

But Flandre needed time to integrate with the Firefly gene. Drawing high luck value to locate the ’Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord’ would also require multiple attempts.

These weren’t things that could be accomplished by simply rushing.

All he could do was to suppress his anxiety and try to explore as quickly as he could.

While maintaining his invisible state, he neutralized the evil creatures silently, one by one, with the skills of a Ninja Master.

Most of the creatures were city residents, whose power was so weak that they couldn’t even drop spirit essences.

Only creatures like guards would drop spirit essences and, under the effect of the Star Lord’s Coronet, it gave him a substantial gain.

However, Lin Xun’s primary objective wasn’t to farm spirit essences and gain experience, but to enhance the special attribute ’Fallen’ by eliminating the evil creatures.

After farming a large number of lesser creatures, the ’Fallen’ attribute still didn’t show any signs of increasing.

The evil gene, or the malice inside these creatures, was too little. Even if he farmed them in large quantities, it wasn’t enough to continue the enhancement of the special attribute.

While Lin Xun was exploring the city and farming the creatures, he found that Beetle City, which was on the ’surface’, mostly consisted of residential houses and some buildings that held no value for exploration.

It wasn’t until he got to the central area of the city that he finally found a building with a ’name’.

Buildings with unique specific names indicated that they had exploration value.

[...]

[You have come to the very center of ’Beetle City’, and not far from you is a magnificent temple.]

[The temple is semi-open. Through the columns standing in the courtyard, you can see into the temple.]

[You look forward and see a statue erected at its deepest point.]

[Do you wish to enter the ’Feathered Temple’?]

[You trudge through the thick snow, stepping towards the ’Feathered Temple’.]

[...]

[Just as you step into the temple, you see a statue of the ’Desire Wet Nurse’ at its deepest point.]

[What catches your eye isn’t the statue, but a towering figure standing in front of it.]

[You see the figure from behind. Its body is as massive as a small mountain, tearing its grey robe out of shape. You can see its pale shell, covered in symbols of malice through the rips in the shabby robe.]

[Based on its outline, you guess that the creature in front of you is a powerful feathered being, which has lost most of its human form after multiple feathered elevations.]

[The massive figure seems to notice your arrival and turns around.]

[Its small head, disproportionate to its massive body, is masked so you can’t see its face.]

[But even with just the malicious eyes beneath the mask, you know that this once powerful feathered being has now become a slave of the extreme evil...]

[You have found the ’Burst Priest of Extreme Evil’!]

"There probably isn’t a single normal feathered being left in this city. At this rate, once the Pilgrimage Angel completes its task on the ’surface’, it will fly underground, continuing to spread the evil gene in the deeper ground."

"Until the entire Divine Kingdom becomes the power source of the Wet Nurse..."
