Chapter 1707: Chapter 897: Zero?
This scene made many people feel goosebumps, triggering trypophobia.
Qing Chen carefully observed the Hundred-Eyed Demon, noticing her pale complexion, yet her features were incredibly exquisite.
The moment the Hundred-Eyed Demon absorbed the Drama Master’s eyeball, her stature suddenly grew taller, already at two meters, she inflated directly to about two and a half meters.
Indeed, the Drama Master is a natural supplement for these rule-based ’creatures’!
In the next moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon carefully picked up the Silver City Duke’s eyeball, placing it in the palms of her hands, one on the left, and one on the right.
Previously, these spots were always empty!
At the instant the eyeballs were embedded, the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s figure decreased instead of increasing, transforming into the size of a normal human woman, 168 cm in height, looking much more graceful.
Qing Chen keenly sensed something different, something was amiss!
In the next moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon turned towards him and gently said, "Thank you, lord."
Then she turned back to Jindai Yunlo: "Master."
Qing Chen looked at Jindai Yunlo wide-eyed: "Is this normal?"
Jindai Yunlo was also wide-eyed: "I say, the Jindai family history has never seen this situation, can you believe it? Perhaps, only the Genji have seen her speak."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon wanted to gather a hundred pairs of eyeballs, which was too difficult because she required the eyes of B-Class superhumans; Genetic Warriors didn’t meet the criteria.
But in fact, during the era of civil war within the Federation hundreds of years ago, the Jindai Consortium actually fulfilled the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s conditions, only then did people realize that once gathered, she could be promoted to Demigod.
However, he was also unaware that the Hundred-Eyed Demon would regain her wisdom and even speak.
Mainly because the Onmyoji were never so prosperous before, seldom seen with A-Class eyeballs, let alone a Demigod!
Too unexpected.
Qing Chen asked: "Why call me lord?"
Hundred-Eyed Demon: "Because you are the master’s master."
Jindai Yunlo: "... it’s the boss, not the master."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon slightly embarrassedly bowed to him: "Sorry, master, in our era, that’s how it was described."
Qing Chen asked again: "So you preserve the memories of that era... you have seen the Genji?"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon nodded: "It was Mr. Genji Anjing who gave me the name, so my first master was him. The little girl beside you also carries the Genji bloodline; I can feel a deep desire and respect for her within myself."
Qing Chen looked at Jindai Yunlo: "What is her current power?"
Jindai Yunlo hesitated: "It’s actually hard to define a Shikigami’s power level, generally whatever level the Onmyoji is, they are too, but this one... should be between A-Class and Demigod. To know specifics, one would need to test it in battle."
Qing Chen thoughtfully looked towards the direction where his mentor and Da Yu had walked away...
"You should first test the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s speed, strength, and lethality," Qing Chen said.
Then the Hundred-Eyed Demon exerted full strength, charging towards a large tree a hundred meters away; her shadow flashed slightly and drifted in front of the tree.
In the next second, the Hundred-Eyed Demon raised her arms, aiming the eyes on her palms at the front.
Ten Directions World.
In an instant, the trees a kilometer in front of her were all chopped into fragmented two or three sections!
The giants: "Wow! Amazing!"
Qing Chen pondered that while the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s speed hadn’t yet reached Demigod level, the power of that ultimate move was sufficient to match the early stages of a Demigod.
An ultimate move that annihilates a force of 4500 men, which is the secular standard to judge a Demigod; the Hundred-Eyed Demon can completely achieve it.
Except for one thing, although she could harvest the battlefield over a large area, she couldn’t engage in direct combat with a Demigod; she would absolutely lose in a duel.
At the very least, Uncle Li Dong could certainly never give her the chance to raise her hands.
This pseudo-Demigod hitman arrived too suddenly, unexpectedly easing Qing Chen’s anxiety of racing against time.
At least, encountering a Demigod again, they wouldn’t need to be so embarrassed.
Moreover, gathering the remaining eight pairs of eyeballs was not necessarily a task as difficult as reaching the heavens!
At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon respectfully looked at Qing Chen: "Lord, can you give me all A-Class and above eyeballs next? Using B-Class now might lead to a decline in my strength."
Qing Chen finally felt Uncle Li Dong’s pain, he gritted his teeth and said: "...of course!"
In Silver City there was still a pair of Lao Shier’s eyeballs, gouging them out left only 7 pairs.
Jindai Yunlo laughed: "Now she doesn’t ask me for eyeballs, she directly asks you?"
Qing Chen glared: "Is this your Shikigami, or my Shikigami?"
Jindai Yunlo smiled: "Thank you, lord, may you live long and prosper."
At this moment, Da Yu’s voice came from afar: "Can you release me first? I’ve said I’m Xiao Yu, I don’t know you! I’m Xiao Yu, wait for Da Yu to come out before twisting him!"
Zard: "... Poor guy, he’s been suppressed by bloodline."
Qing Chen turned his head to look, only to see Uncle Li Dong carrying Da Yu coming over, he felt the alliance of distressed father-figures had gained another member.
"Mentor, why have you come to the West Continent?" Qing Chen knowingly asked.
Uncle Li Dong answered with a teasing smile: "Just came for a walk, nothing else... what are your plans next?"
Qing Chen glanced at He Jinqiu, held by Qing Ji: "First, I’ll go to the Giant King Court for a visit, see if we can devise a systematic tactic for them, and then return home."
...
...
At this moment, there is a civilian airship flying from Silver City to Storm City.
Onboard are barons and white entrepreneurs fleeing the war, who feared the Giant Race would suddenly break into Silver City and commit mass slaughter.
The Roosevelt Kingdom and Giant Dynasty have long harbored hostility; quite a few big shots have specimens made from giant corpses, evidence of their prowess, meaning they once fought giants in the Taboo Forest.
It’s necessary to flee during such times.
On the airship, the dignitaries frantically discussed: "I heard the Black Knight regiment has been completely annihilated, even their land forces have perished."
"Silver City’s air force main body still has half at the No. 7 outpost, otherwise it shouldn’t be so tragic."
"You know nothing; didn’t you see that Sword Immortal? With him here, even if that half air force main body came, what use would it be?"
In the crowd, a thirty-year-old woman with a scarf around her neck quietly sat in the corner, leisurely and calmly gazing at the scenery outside the window.
This was her first time viewing the outside world from this perspective in a thousand years, compensating for the lack of desire to break free from her cage. After all... who doesn’t like freedom?
Well, she really wasn’t interested in coming out because she was weary of human intrigue and deceit.
Yet now she had indisputable reasons to leave.
The Roosevelt Royalty and the Four Dukes guarded tightly against her; it was only on the day He Jinqiu struck that she found an opportunity.
At this moment, the beautiful flight attendant smiled and said, "We are about to reach Storm City, everyone is safe."
The cabin burst into warm applause, celebrating their narrow escape from danger.
The airship landed, and the woman with an elegant posture disembarked gracefully.
She took a city light rail, arriving outside a condo in District Seven.
The woman looked up at the curtain-covered window...
She stepped into the elevator, heading straight toward her goal.
From her departure from Silver City to her arrival at this apartment, there was no pause, as if she had long planned the route and her destination was unusually clear.
But when she arrived at the apartment door, she suddenly hesitated...
The woman stood outside for a while, raising her hand to knock, yet her fingers remained one centimeter away from the door without descending.
In the next moment, she finally decided something.
Knock, knock.
Knock on the door.
A pleasant voice from inside: "Who’s there?"
The woman stood at the door without speaking, knowing full well the little girl inside was looking at her through the peephole.
This made her somewhat anxious, even wanting to check if her hair was messy.
The door inside delayed opening as the woman suddenly asked: "One?"
The room’s door swung open, inside the little girl sized her up, and she sized up the little girl.
The woman removed the scarf from her neck, revealing the robot code on her skin.
She asked again: "One?"
The little girl hesitated for a long time: "Zero?"
