Chapter 212 - 208: The Release of the Gamma Power Bank
Watching Delta, who slowly calmed down under Beta’s continuous recitation, Bai Qi felt relieved, though the corner of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
When he had discovered that Beta’s ‘Great Compassion Mantra’ had calming properties, he had been very surprised. What he did not expect was that it could even soothe raging emotions.
The power of such mind-controlling capabilities seemed a little bit like that of the Buddhist techniques he was familiar with.
It seemed that he would have to gather all the Buddhist scriptures he knew and teach them to Beta. Perhaps combining these teachings with a ‘Soul Whisper’ might yield unexpected results.
At last, as Gamma had absorbed all the evil energy from Delta, Delta also completely regained his consciousness.
Bloop bloop!
(I actually attacked my companion just now!)
Thinking of his previous actions, Delta was full of shame and felt unworthy to face Bai Qi and the others again.
Clack clack.
(It’s okay, none of us got hurt.)
Alpha, who had returned from its crystal dragon form, patted its own chest to signify that it was unharmed, while Schuck supported it from the side.
“This evil power seems to influence one’s mind and cause loss of control, which is normal.”
Bloop bloop!
(My willpower is still too weak. I need to train harder. Master, let’s add more training when we return!!!)
Bai Qi gently nodded his head and said, “Okay.”
The ability of Delta to evolve according to the environment was indeed good. But looking at today’s situation, it was clear that Delta’s control needed to be strengthened. If this could be controlled, wouldn’t the Demon State he entered previously act as a powerful weapon?
Clop clop.
(Master, Gamma seems a bit unable to shake off this stone.)
Just then, Gamma suddenly sent a plea for help to Bai Qi. He immediately turned his head to look, and he saw that Gamma was trying its hardest to shake off the green round stone, but no matter how hard Gamma stretched itself, its body was still firmly stuck to the green round stone.
Bai Qi frowned. This green round stone was definitely related to the Demon Class creature Delta had just evolved into, and the eerie Green Flame also originated from this.
“Can’t you split yourself from it?”
Clop clop.
(I can’t split myself. This stone is absorbing Gamma’s life force, and Gamma is absorbing it, so I can’t move.)
It was absorbing Gamma’s life force?!
At this, Bai Qi was taken aback. He immediately asked Alpha to come forward to help, but they still couldn’t separate the two.
Looking at Gamma, whose color had become dark green from absorbing a large amount of evil power, Bai Qi steeled his resolve and activated the Evolution Egg, dressing Gamma in it.
As expected, the moment the Evolution Egg touched the green round stone, the evil energy flame burned again, beginning to incinerate the Golden Egg.
The strength of the Golden Egg was obviously far superior to the Silver Egg, but it also only persisted for a while before showing signs of melting.
But Bai Qi was prepared. He held the dragon scales in one hand and continually applied the Golden Egg to Gamma with the other.
Finally, after using five or six Golden Eggs, the evil energy flame was completely covered. But Bai Qi also felt a rapid loss of physical strength and almost lost his footing.
“Draining so much of my energy at once, could it be…”
Looking at Gamma, whose state had stabilized, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, showing that he had guessed something.
Just then, a newly formed Black Sky Meeh suddenly appeared in the Secret Realm, startling Bai Qi and the others.
They had a hard enough time dealing with one Black Sky Meeh. Now that another one had appeared, he wasn’t confident that he could win again.
Fortunately, this Black Sky Meeh did not attack them. Instead, it approached Bai Qi while carrying a small metal sphere. Once it had placed the sphere down, it returned to its original position and went into standby mode.
Damn, not again…
Thinking of the previous Rune Rubik’s Cube, Bai Qi felt a headache instinctively when he saw the metal sphere.
Could this be preparing me for another Secret Realm…?
Bai Qi picked up the metal sphere for closer examination. The sphere was made entirely out of a brass-colored metal, with no sign of any seams or even a single rune. If it wasn’t a reward given after clearing the stage, Bai Qi would absolutely have dismissed it as a common metal ball and disposed of it.
“Another puzzle to solve, huh…”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that Delta showed no signs of waking up, he simply began studying the ball.
Outside of the Black and White Towers.
In the anxious eyes of the crowd, the figure of Bai Qiucha suddenly appeared.
Compared to the completely charred Li Xusheng, Bai Qiucha looked much better, but he was clearly exhausted. It was as if he had consumed a large amount of spiritual power.
“Young Master Qiucha, are you okay?”
Upon seeing this scene, Blood Scythe Giant Spirit, who was left here, came forward to ask.
“I’m okay, I just used up a bit too much spirit power.”
Bai Qiucha sat down next to a stone and then began to meditate.
His luck was really bad. He had run into a Meeh that controlled the power of life.
Perhaps the Power of Life was a great supplement for other creatures, but for the Skeleton Dragon, it was clear and effective poison.
If it wasn’t for his Spirit Communicator talent which he utilized to protect the Skeleton Dragon, it would have suffered severe damage this time.
Soon, Qiucha recovered a part of his spirit power and his complexion improved a lot. He glanced around and realized Bai Qi was not in the team, so he frowned.
“Is Bai Qi still in the tower?”
Bai Qi’s main pet, Alpha, also belonged to the Undead Department. Even though the properties of the crystal bone had weakened some of its attribute suppression, an undead is still an undead; it naturally rejects life force.
Without Alpha’s output, the other three pets under Bai Qi’s command were certainly unable to break through the defenses of the “Dayshine” mech.
As for the other tower, even if he hadn’t gone in yet, he could guess that the guardian in it wouldn’t be easy to handle.
Upon hearing this, Wang Huai nodded, saying, “Bai Qi entered just a little after you, and I’m not sure why he hasn’t come out yet.”
Almost four hours had passed since Bai Qi entered, but the runes on the black tower were still flashing.
If it wasn’t for the rule that prevents challengers from appearing in the same space at the same time in this kind of secret world, he would have already intervened.
Swoosh!
At that moment, the black and white towers suddenly radiated brightly, and two giant figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Before anyone could get a clear look at these two figures, the black and white towers astonishingly sunk into the ground and disappeared.
“The Black Sky Mech! The Dayshine Mech!”
The first to recognize these two mechs were Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha, who had each fought one of them. Upon seeing these two mechs reappear, both entered battle mode. If their conditions hadn’t been so bad, they might have launched an attack right away.
The actions of these two put Wang Huai and the others on high alert, each summoning their own pets, ready to attack.
“Cough, cough, keep calm, keep calm, these two are not enemies.”
At this moment, Bai Qi walked out from behind the two mechs, saying; “These two mechs are not aggressive, so you don’t need to be so cautious.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha exchanged glances, but they also dropped their combat readiness.
“Bai Qi, can you tell us what happened inside?”
Yi Yu walked up to Bai Qi, looking at the now completely vanished black and white towers behind the two mechs, and said, “Seeing how the black and white towers left, could it be that you have completed the challenge?”
Upon hearing Yi Yu’s question, Bai Qi’s face twitched, and he nodded awkwardly, saying, “I guess so.”
“What do you mean by ‘I guess so’?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao refuted, saying, “Either you’ve cleared it or not. There’s no ‘I guess so’.”
“What Bai Qi said is…”
“Complicated.”
“Can’t you say it…”
“More clearly?”
The Baili Brothers also expressed their opinions one after the other. However, Bai Qi took a long time to think, but still couldn’t offer a reasonable explanation.
The Black Tower’s Secret.
After about three hours of study, Bai Qi was still at a loss regarding the metal sphere he had in his hand.
“Since it’s a product of the Era of Law Emperor, it must be somehow related to the runes. Unless, is this thing a part of something else?”
The black and white towers were open at the same time, he had just entered one of them, perhaps the other part was in the other tower.
“Let’s wait until Gamma has finished evolving, so then I can study the other tower.”
Just at this moment, the golden egg, which was not due to hatch yet, broke on its own accord. The familiar evolution light flashed from it, thus confirming Bai Qi’s previous speculation.
Gamma was going to evolve to Lord Level!
But why is this evolution light green? It’s the same color as the previous evil energy, which really was quite unsettling.
As if to prove Bai Qi’s worries correct, a green flame seeped out from the cracks in the golden egg, and then completely enveloped the entire golden egg.
The slowly breaking golden egg was immediately melted by the green flame and turned into a gold energy which merged into the green flame.
At the same time, a piece of information also flowed into Bai Qi’s mind.
[Skill Name]: Sacrificial Aura
[Skill Level]: High-stage
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Demon Class, able to inflict burning damage on enemies, continuously depleting their life force.
There are indeed skills from the Demon Class!
Bai Qi’s eyes flitted, Delta first evolved into a demon form, and then Gamma understood a technique from the Demon Class. It seemed that there was indeed the existence of demonic creatures in this world.
At least, they once existed.
“I’ll look into it when I get back. Those from the Demon Class don’t seem like good citizens.”
Soon, another piece of information rushed into Bai Qi’s mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
[Skill Name]: Energy Splitter
[Skill Level]: High-stage
[Skill Introduction]: A skill from the Demon Class, able to transfer energy to companions to enhance their fighting power.
No wonder the Black Sky Mech was able to absorb Beta’s Thunder Flame Power and guide it to use as their own attack method. They must have achieved it through a similar technique.
Now that Gamma also has such a skill, doesn’t that mean Gamma can also provide energy to Alpha and the others?
Gamma, the mobile giant power bank, has been born!
Seeing Gamma successively obtaining two high-grade high-quality skills, Bai Qi was even more interested in Gamma’s future skills.
The high-stage skills are all like this, so the super skills shouldn’t be much worse, right?
