Chapter 1597 - 685: One Palm, One Kid

Meanwhile, within the net on the sand, Skywolf is stunned for a few seconds by the sudden appearance of Mu You, before reacting with sheer joy.

He’s not dead?

He really did it!

Initially, with himself captured alive and seeing no escape, Skywolf’s heart had sunk to the bottom. Yet, in just a few seconds, his mood underwent a roller-coaster-like transformation.

At this moment by the lakeside, Mu You is also examining his restored body.

This layer of Scarlet Battle Armor, no, it should be called a battle suit, feels like a true piece of clothing—intuitive to maneuver, so light in weight that it’s almost imperceptible.

Yet, this seemingly light armor brings him defensive power and physical capabilities equal to ordinary natives.

After reviving at the lake bottom, Mu You saw the native who just leaped upwards, and a thought suddenly sparked in his mind: perhaps he can stop the native from jumping into the lake.

Mu You followed through on this thought and indeed succeeded.

With just a slight bend of his knees, his whole body launched like a rocket from beneath the water, kicking the native man flying, while he remained unscathed.

The power and speed that erupted in this process could hardly have been imagined by Mu You before, but under the battle suit’s enhancement, it seemed only natural.

Additionally, this battle suit itself provides protective functions: within the suit’s rigid armor, a layer of invisible shield covers his entire body, akin to Kylin’s scales, not only isolating various corrosive and cursed energies but also preventing Parasitic Beast invasions.

Meaning, as long as the battle suit is not completely destroyed, parasitism cannot occur.

Mu You couldn’t help admiring the Mechanic’s genius; this battle armor perfectly aligned with his original vision. If the refinement hadn’t shrunk, this suit could indeed arm the Divine Race to fully counter the Divine Devouring Beast.

Unfortunately...

Mu You shook his head. Strong as it is, the suit is ultimately external. Beyond the suit, he cares more about his own transformation.

Right now, his body is as good as new, without any wounds, everything seems exactly as it was before he jumped into the Moon Lake.

But Mu You knows it’s different: his body harbors an extra Moon Butterfly!

Amidst the process of countless Moon Butterflies returning to his bodily tissues, the butterfly formed along with the restoration of his flesh.

However, this particular Moon Butterfly differs from the others, firstly in its much larger size, secondly in its entirely distinct state of existence.

In other Jie Lin creatures, the Moon Butterfly within them is innate, accompanying their entire lifecycle invisibly yet indispensable like a soul. Losing it would mean death.

This Moon Butterfly, however, temporarily ’resides’ within him. Mu You can clearly sense its presence, and even if it flies away in the future, it won’t affect him.

The ’residence’ of this Moon Butterfly confers Mu You two special abilities.

First, he can now directly see the Moon Butterflies inside other creatures.

These blue butterflies, which were supposed to be invisible within creatures when unhatched, are now visible to Mu You from a ’God’s perspective,’ allowing him to see the outline of Moon Butterflies in everyone around him.

Therefore, Mu You can clearly identify who among them have Moon Butterfly issues.

Native Jie Lin creatures should harmonize perfectly with the Moon Butterfly inside them, much like the alignment of a soul and body, naturally and seamlessly.

At this moment, the majority of natives present have their Moon Butterflies in this natural state.

However, a significant portion shows obvious abnormalities in their Moon Butterfly state.

If guessed right, these people should all be the parasites!

Because their original consciousness is usurped by the Parasitic Beast, outwardly they seem normal, but their Soul Butterflies cannot fully integrate with the foreign thoughts.

The second ability: Mu You senses he might be able to indirectly control the Moon Butterflies inside others through physical contact using the Moon Butterfly within him.

For instance...

Mu You glanced at his hands, considering testing this on someone.

A loud shout suddenly echoes.

"He’s not the Son of the Moon Festival!!!"

At this moment, Youman’s voice, like rolling thunder, spreads across the scene.

The nearby clamor is forcibly suppressed by this shout, bringing momentary silence, as the surrounding natives instinctively turn to Youman.

"He’s not the Son of the Moon Festival!"

Youman repeats, pointing distantly at Mu You: "He’s merely an outsider, how can an outsider be the Son of the Moon Festival?"

"Moreover, take a close look at his clothes; how could someone emerging from the Moon Lake have clothing?"

"Yesterday, we all witnessed with our own eyes, this person perished in the Moon Lake, indicating he never received the lake’s acknowledgment!"

"He merely used trickery to evade the lake’s eradication, how can such a deceiver be considered the Son of the Moon Festival? How can he compare with the former king?"
