Chapter 1638: Chapter 1636 Facing the Old King

[A Few Hours Ago]

Outside Zurbaha City, in the Forest of Decay.

Inside a bus completely modified into an independent creature.

Upon hearing the mysterious person’s plan,

even as the Shoggoth Master, Eugene couldn’t decide immediately, and a foul-smelling substance, similar to human sweat, kept seeping out from his body.

Nervous,

Uneasy,

Hesitant,

but finally, considering the ’恩情’ of the past,

analyzing the mysterious person’s power, and the ongoing plans on the Zothique Continent, while also thinking of M.O.’s arrogant and prejudiced attitude.

Eugene finally made a decision.

To betray M.O. and assist the mysterious person in executing the final plan.

In fact, it wasn’t quite betrayal, as the cooperation between Eugene and the ghouls hadn’t been fully negotiated, and he was rather disgusted with their opportunistic behavior, and the likelihood of misleading guidance in the future.

"Teacher, are we really heading to the Skeleton Storage Place without bringing any troops?"

"Yes.

Create an illusion of a gradual invasion towards the main city, forcing M.O. to deploy all of his Guard Army and generals for the capital’s defense.

Then, by using your identity, Eugene, secretly bring me into the Skeleton Storage Place to meet with Him.

Of course, with your current strength, Eugene, you can also assist me by the side.

Based on your performance, I’ll naturally reward you with extra things... I might even help enhance that flawless ’Shoggoth Eye’ of yours."

"Yes..."

At that point,

the mysterious person created a few new species on the spot, having Eugene kill some and capture others, fabricating a scenario where Eugene had investigated the intruders and gained something.

Then,

use the pretext of capturing intruders alive to head to the Skeleton Storage Place again.

"Come, absorb me into your body voluntarily, it will appear more natural this way."

The mysterious person handed Eugene a custom metal straw, demonstrating its use simply.

One end inserted into Eugene’s nasal cavity,

the other against the mysterious person’s multiple clustered brain tissues,

slowly absorbing

like jelly, the brain tissue quickly entered Eugene’s head through the nasal cavity, completely blending in.

"This!"

Even Eugene himself felt no sense of abnormality, even slightly invigorated,

appearing the same as usual, let alone others detecting anything.

Packing the ’captured intruders’ into bags, Eugene returned to Zurbaha after some rest, feigning a look of having gone through a tough battle and arrived again at the Great Tomb Area.

Considering the events about to unfold,

Eugene was extremely nervous,

though trying hard to appear normal, his expression was slightly tense, a bit restrained.

As such, he didn’t notice Han Dong, who was also heading towards the Great Tomb Area, on another street, coming alone to the sealed Stone Door leading to the Skeleton Storage Area.

"I intercepted a team of intruders attempting to approach Zurbaha outside the city.

I have captured two unknown species members alive,

this contribution should be enough to continue our transaction, right?"

As Eugene spoke these words,

the Stone Door descended, indicating M.O. allowed him to meet.

At that moment, gentle energy emanated from the brain, soothing Eugene’s anxiety, making him look as normal as possible.

Simultaneously, the mysterious person’s voice came:

’Well done, you just need to complete the upcoming journey, leave the rest to me.’

Eugene took a deep breath and stepped deeper into the black temple in the Skeleton Storage Area.

As he arrived in the spacious hall exuding a black crystal glow,

strong rotting smells seeped endlessly from the depths,

everywhere they touched, the ground would sprout corpse moss,

or peculiar biological gears would grow,

even the black crystal bones forming the temple showed signs of activation, resurrection, as if the black crystal bones forming the temple all came from elite subordinates who had once died on the battlefield.

Their glorious achievements in life made their bones selected as part of the temple.

Under the influence of the Skeleton Storage Area and M.O.’s aura, unnecessary impurities shed, revealing a whole body of bright black crystal gleam.

Perhaps when needed, they could fully resurrect under the ’Power of the Throne’, transforming into an invincible ghoul army to devour and sweep through enemy forces.

Clang clang clang!

Overlapping sounds of gears and bones echoed from deep inside the temple.

Under some device’s traction,

a mechanically modified, completely reshaped throne was transported out, appearing before Eugene.

The rotting aura continuously emitted from beneath the throne had resurrected hundreds of ’black crystal bones’, transforming them into black guards akin to ’venom’, kneeling around the hundred-meter-high throne.

As one of S-01 world’s Old Kings, revered as the King of Ghoul, he sat sternly here.

His tomb-like mouth slowly opened,

between tombstone-shaped teeth, he uttered a sinister and oppressive statement:

"Eugene, is this all you could accomplish by assisting me?

Just capturing a few intruders alive, is that it? Abnormal events are occurring throughout the Zothique Continent, and the matter is far from over.

I hope you can display the gall of a Demon Book holder, collaborate with my ghoul army, and completely eliminate the intruders."

When he once again ’raised his price’, Eugene could no longer bear it, refusing to disguise a respectful demeanor.

His eyes filled with dissatisfaction, he stood up to face the Old King directly.

"We clearly agreed on terms beforehand, why do you keep testing my limits?

Even without your guidance, it’s just a matter of me taking an extra year or two to explore on my own.

Moreover, your understanding of the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult might not be complete... otherwise, you wouldn’t be just a ’lower’.

Truly a waste of my time."

When Eugene spoke these extremely disrespectful words.

The resurrected nearby immediately revealed sharp claws and fangs, dozens pouncing simultaneously towards Eugene.

Buzz!

Eugene didn’t use Shoggoth’s skills,

nor did he employ the terrifying secret methods of the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult,

instead,

he grabbed the "Stone Spear" on his back with a reverse grip and swept it horizontally.

Dozens of resurrected entities, along with the soul lines within, were severed... bodies flew in all directions.

"Hahaha! As expected from the contemporary Fifth Element, the new master of Shoggoths.

Having just entered the myth stage, yet reached the strength level of the late mythical period... If a perfect Shoggoth like you were sent to the [Slaughterhouse] for ’dissection’, perhaps the most perfect ghoul could be produced."

Saying so,

he reached out with a massive, oppressive hand to grab Eugene.

Like ten thousand tombstones weighing down on Eugene, rendering him immobile.

Just as the hand was about to fall.

A continuous stream of brain fluid seeped out of Eugene’s skull, quickly infiltrating M.O.’s hand...

Next, something occurred that would astonish Eugene for a lifetime.

Swoosh!

Rotten, viscous black blood poured down like a storm~splash

The hundred-meter-long right arm was completely severed, crashing heavily onto the temple floor, the tremor felt throughout the underground Skeleton Storage Place, just noticed by Han Dong and Sally below.

The severed arm wasn’t directly caused by the mysterious person,

but M.O. voluntarily cut off his right arm, even a flicker of fear appeared in his pupils.
