Chapter 1129: Chapter 512: If Only It Were Like the First Meeting Part 2

He had already synchronized memories with Mu You, and therefore knew about the plan to capture Gusha. The Medicinal Plant Gatherer had been plotting since the beginning of this era, clearly deciding from then to consider the Watchman as a vessel for capturing Gusha.

"No, at first you were just an alternative, it really depended on your performance. If you could still maintain a pure will after Gusha’s four-thousand-year consciousness erosion, it would prove you have the capability to be a vessel. Otherwise, I would look for another vessel or terminate the plan ahead of schedule," the Medicinal Plant Gatherer said with a calm face.

"How heartless can you be? I treated you like a brother, but you see me as just a pawn?" The Watchman charged forward, grabbing the Medicinal Plant Gatherer by the collar and shaking him as he interrogated.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer, who was small in stature compared to the Watchman—like a child at this moment—had his head shaking like a bobblehead, yet he kept silent, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, maintaining a cold expression.

Mu You did not bother with the scuffle between the two incarnations. With the battle over, he too breathed a sigh of relief and sat down against the mountain wall.

The seal was now successfully reinforced, and Gusha had lost most of its consciousness. Hence, there was no need for the Watchman to remain here as a Guardian. Given the current state of the seal, Gusha would not be able to stir up any trouble before the next season of fear arrives.

A little black fur ball popped its head out from the shadow beside him; it was the Shadow Fur Ball.

The Shadow Fur Ball swam up beside his hand, rubbing against his palm while still busily chewing on something undigested.

Mu You found it odd. Just a few mouthfuls of ash, why is it taking so long to finish?

As he wondered, the Shadow Fur Ball suddenly stopped its chewing as if choked, puffing up its cheeks. After much effort, it opened its mouth and expelled a scale about the size of a fingertip.

The Shadow Fur Ball had clearly struggled to spit out the scale and immediately collapsed beside Mu You, looking weak and energyless.

Mu You was astonished. What it swallowed were the ’ashes’ of Gusha’s death. As everything of the Black Snake should have been torn into dust by the wind, how could there be something that survived the Wind Burial?

Mu You quickly picked up the scale and examined it.

This scale was undoubtedly one of Gusha’s, but it looked different from what he had previously seen. Gusha was entirely dark in color, but this scale was a translucent milky white. It was said to be a snake scale, but it looked more like a piece of broken glass.

In the Omniscient Crystal as well, the information about this object was reflected back.

[Gusha’s Indestructible Scale: One of the rare indestructible scales on Gusha’s body, possessing nearly infinite hardness, indestructible.

Has the ability to automatically absorb the negative emotions of the holder and store them, and the stored negative emotions can be used as ’emotional artillery’ to harm the enemy.]

"Indestructible scale..."

Mu You was amazed. The concept of an indestructible scale suggests an inversely growing scale under the neck of a snake or dragon. Among hundreds of thousands of scales on a dragon, there might only be one or a few, undoubtedly a very rare thing.

He hadn’t expected that such a small incarnation of Gusha would actually condense an indestructible scale.

No wonder this object had remained intact after the Wind Burial Cannon; it was born with an ’indestructible’ attribute.

As for the effects, they were quite eye-catching, being able to automatically absorb negative emotions and able to store them as a means of harming enemies.

Seeing this effect, Mu You immediately thought of the fairy girl.

The jealousy of the fairy girl was clearly a negative emotion. So, it meant that just by carrying this scale, any jealousy would automatically be absorbed into it, enabling the fairy girl’s jealousy not only to no longer burn blood but also to charge up this object!

Mu You immediately stood up, wanting to find the fairy girl to test it out.

However, when he tried to sense the fairy girl’s location, he was abruptly halted.

He could not sense the existence of the fairy girl at all!

There were only two possibilities for this situation: one was that the Contractor had died, the other was that the fairy girl had unilaterally severed the contract with him.

But no matter which one, once the contract was broken, the Deviation Value boost provided by the fairy girl would also disappear. Without the fairy girl’s suppression, the effects of the Poison of Chaos would automatically manifest. So, theoretically, his Deviation Value should be rapidly rising now.

However, when Mu You glanced at the internal situation of Order inside his body, he found it to be a pure white. His Deviation Value was stable at zero, without any signs of increasing.

"Could it be..."

Mu You had already thought of a possibility.

She had unilaterally severed the contract, but before doing so, she had transferred all of the Poison of Chaos onto herself...

Mu You frowned, feeling an emptiness in his heart as if he had lost something important.

The Poison of Chaos was not something just anyone could bear. Mu You, as an Order Successor, was just barely able to resist it. If anyone else were affected by the poison, they wouldn’t even have the chance to fight back but could only watch as they were Devoured.

If she really took on the Poison of Chaos by herself, then her situation now...

...

Half an hour later.

Mu You and his party appeared on the desert at the entrance to the dark cavern.

Looking around, the cities in the distance had become a sea of flames.

Simultaneously, the sky was enveloped in mist while a fine drizzle fell continuously, which stopped the spread of the flames. A lot of smoke billowed, making Sky City seem hazy.
