Chapter 1839: Chapter 1836: Revelation
If it were an invitation from Han Dong alone,
Eugenes would not only refuse but might even start a fight directly in the corpse repository.
But with Pope here, things are different…
Whether considering the future of the Shoggoth tribe, Eugenes’ own development, or their past camaraderie, he cannot offend Pope.
“Nicholas would never invite me of his own accord,
this invitation, though issued directly by him, is likely suggested by Pope.”
It’s easy to understand their mingling together, after all, they’re both teaching at Mi University, much like their joint action in the plant planet incident last time.
with Pope here, perhaps there might be an opportunity to ask him what ‘standard corpses’ mean. ”
Eugenes made a decision.
Currently facing a {Trouble} he couldn’t decipher on his own, Pope might be a crucial solver.
All the ink green tentacles, emitting an intense stench, scattered outside, now fully retracted back into the body.
Eugenes also steadily landed in front of the two, seemingly accustomed to the ‘human shell’,
first deliberately patting the dust off the area touched by Han Dong on the shoulder, then smoothly pinching the ink green hair to tidy it slightly.
“What are you planning?”
Although Eugenes’s question was directed at Pope, Han Dong still replied:
“Based on clues provided by the void, we’re looking for some hidden treasures… During this time, the retrieved treasures, ancient relics, equipment, and other rare items will be distributed according to our attributes.
We need to enhance our strength as much as possible before any dangerous events occur.
Interested in joining?”
Eugenes cast a skeptical glance at Pope, who slightly nodded to affirm the matter.
With this confirmation, he had no reason to refuse.
Unlike other elements.
Eugenes has no background, no support from any Old King, no resources to utilize, he himself is a Shoggoth Master.
The only consideration is the existence within the void space, compressing the Black Flesh Mountain for him, officially liberating the Shoggoth tribe through the London game.
He believes that if he can’t even reach the King Level, there’s no point in considering the development of his race,
thus, he constantly remains in an ‘independent adventurer’ mode, never missing any opportunity for growth… Not only requiring deep learning of the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult, but also gaining improvements in other aspects.
However, Eugenes didn’t immediately agree, instead focusing on Pope and asking:
“Why invite me? Aren’t there better options for you?
Even if Pope you don’t agree with Green,
there are Aslan, Sally, Helen, and Hyde, who seem to be better choices… My relationship with Nicholas isn’t very good, it was almost reaching the point of killing each other back then.”
Pope, like a puppet, let Han Dong respond to this query.
“Because we’ve collaborated before, that is during our adventure to the Shattered Dimension, though we were forced to collaborate under Professor Morgan’s intervention, the overall effect was indeed remarkable.
This time the venture will also involve the Shattered Dimension, seeking those ancient relics wandering beyond the world.”
At this point, Han Dong pointed to his forehead,
“Besides, Eugenes, if my eye can collaborate with yours, the probability of finding treasure relics will vastly increase.”
After hearing this explanation, Eugenes still sought confirmation from Pope with a glance, only agreeing once he received another nod. Chapters first released on NovєlFіre.net
“…However, I’m currently dealing with something in {Selon City}, I need to finish it before departing with you.”
“According to the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult’s record, I need to collect nine ‘standard compliant’ corpses… {Selon}, a gathering place of corpses, is a perfect spot for filtering bodies.
However, I haven’t made any progress yet, none of the corpses in this repository meet the criteria.”
Han Dong asked: “Meet what standard?”
“There’s no further description in the Demon Book, nor any text or diagram analysis.”
But, the Demon Book itself serves as a detection device; if the corpse meets the standard, it will induce a reaction.”
This directly piqued Han Dong’s curiosity,
“No clues at all? That’s odd… Can you show me this page?”
Although showing Han Dong just one page wouldn’t disclose much, nor would any genius learn the entire work from a single page, the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult is something Eugenes cherishes deeply, prompting him to intentionally step back.
Han Dong shrugged, displaying a peculiar smile:
“Eugenes, since we’re already in a ‘team’ relationship, just looking at this won’t cause pregnancy.
Moreover, directly viewing another’s Demon Book can be dangerous.”
“I’m merely wanting to help solve your problem quickly so we can proceed on our journey.”
Pope took this moment to say:
“Asking you to find standard-compliant corpses, yet not disclosing the standard is indeed rather vague.”
My {Revelation of Glaki} doesn’t have such obscure descriptions, bring it out, let’s help you examine it, perhaps we can discover something else.”
I will try my best to restrain the Demon Book, but don’t stare at it for too long.”
When a Demon Book enshrouded in monstrous flesh with mouths on its surface was taken out,
both Han Dong and Pope felt a devouring sensation, even noticing uneven ‘teeth marks’ appearing on their skin.
The Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult’s second section – [The Corpse Record]’s front page.
Displays ancient texts composed of twisted, green fluids.
“Before reading this volume, collect nine standard-compliant corpses; only upon completion will further content be generated”
The longer one observes,
these ancient texts appear increasingly twisted,
the lines forming them even morph into mouth shapes, extending tongues from within to lick the reader’s eyeballs… at any moment possibly wrapping and devouring the eye.
Han Dong and Pope exhibited entirely different states.
Pope closed his eyes,
he transformed these ancient texts into stellar forms within his mind, conducting rapid filtering and reconstruction through mental simulation.
Han Dong’s approach was downright daring,
unaffraid of the Demon Book’s counterattack, he instead drew his eye even closer.
Under the gaze of the True Demon Eye, the characters between the pages didn’t dare move… even refraining from licking the eyeballs. Relying entirely on the Demon Eye, Han Dong rapidly comprehended the essence of these ancient texts.
As time trickled down, Pope’s head oozed starry sweat droplets, resembling meteors streaking through when they fell.
Han Dong’s True Demon Eye felt somewhat sore, yet persisted in decoding.
Eugenes silently observed all this.
After an indeterminate length of time, Han Dong and Pope almost simultaneously arrived at the ‘answer’.
“Nicholas, you say it first… if there’s any error, I’ll correct it.”
The ‘standard’ is hidden among the characters; by reorganizing the ‘radicals’ of these ancient texts, you’ll gain an important clue.
The standard isn’t a type, nor a level, or any specific peculiarity.
Eugenes, you need nine ‘old corpses’, dating back to ancient times or even earlier… and fortuitously, our thrilling expedition will touch upon ancient relics, potentially assisting you in finding suitable corpses.”
Pope didn’t add any supplement, as his conclusion was almost identical.
This 39th corpse repository abruptly became chaotic.
Sounds emanated from tens of thousands of corpse lockers as heads or arms slowly extended from among them.
Seemingly due to the short exposure of the Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult, all these dead bodies revived… imbued with an intense desire to devour, seeking to consume all living beings.
Before events turned complex, the trio promptly vanished.
