Chapter 1866: Chapter 1863: Story Segment
Pope continued to project the memory images,
Han Dong felt the direct gaze of the Upper Beings, gradually transforming this pressure into a ‘unique thrill of attention’, slowly treating the Horn Conference Layer as his stage for performance.
For a more vivid effect,
Han Dong even rose from his seat, simulating the infiltration, encounters, and battle scenes of the time, even mimicking his state of ‘Borrowing God’ to spread strands of black substance throughout the meeting room.
Such detailed and vivid storytelling even paused the Yellow Robe King’s writing,
even the Chaos Ancestor in the first seat slightly focused thoughts, trying to listen to the story this little fellow was recounting.
“…Due to the Uncontrolled who used matches, staying underground of the Temple dealing with local Dead Spirits, there was no direct threat to us, allowing us to eventually escape smoothly.”
When the narration ended, the meeting room fell silent for a short time.
Until an Old King expressed through a fleshy mass broke the silence.
“How is Eugene’s condition? The damaged [Black Flesh Mountain] is probably hard to restore, right?”
Just as Han Dong was about to say something,
Mr. Eugene, who was hosting the meeting, seemed to have already calculated the current dialogue, unfolding a cluster of small granular “Void Bubbles” in his palm, in which Eugene’s damaged flesh was being repaired.
At the same time, Mr. Eugene also gave a high psychological evaluation:
“This Shoggoth performed quite well, I have already conducted a ‘Time Retrospective’ on him in advance, but the effect wasn’t good. It seems related to the Elder Race technology contained within the [Black Flesh Mountain]… Does the Primal Flesh have a better repair method?”
In Mr. Eugene’s view, the only one who can truly repair the Black Flesh Mountain is this ultimate ancestor god.
The early Old Kings, derived from the Chaos Interval, often existed in various special forms without flesh and blood.
Until the birth of this Old King known as the ‘Ultimate Ancestral God’, whose “Primal Flesh” directly impacted the ecosphere across the universe, gradually giving rise to each blood-and-flesh Demon life form.
This ultimate ancestor god is said to be both the origin and return of all flesh Demons…
A hand of pulsating flesh knocked down an amorphous, life-breathing Primal Flesh Chunk from the throne, throwing it directly toward the Void Bubble where Eugene was located.
When the Primal Substance fell inside the bubble and came into contact with Eugene,
A terrifying life force surged instantly, even filling the Horn Conference Layer.
Not only did Eugene’s main body begin to rapidly recover, but the layer of black flesh wrapping around his body also began to regenerate slowly.
This process of flesh separation was naturally observed by the Black Tower’s negotiation team,
As the “Examiner”, Edgar, out of courtesy and potential risk, absolutely could not conduct ‘remote examinations’ of the Demons present, as being discovered would surely trigger a conflict.
However, the Primal Flesh Chunk that just separated from the throne, had formed a singular entity.
Edgar took this opportunity to quickly examine the meatball… The data shocked him, as he adjusted his glasses frame with his fingers to hide his inner shock.
He also discreetly transmitted the examination report of the flesh chunk to Madame Bei.
The “Life Force” and “Density” of these items exceeded the maximum detectable values.
Director Charles could not help but supplement the memory images and Han Dong’s story description:
“What you two encountered were, indeed, the Original-146 Bank Clerk and the core member of the Original-027 Penny Family – Matchstick Man (Original-027-Ⅲ) from the Control Bureau.
Accompanied by a group of enslaved engineers and researchers, their purpose was evidently to explore, survey, and gather intelligence on the Shattered Dimension that separates Black Tower and S-01.
They did not know of the “Book of Dead Spirit” you mentioned, they were merely passing through this frozen land and decided to investigate briefly.
Your performance was exceedingly above the norm, to be able to contend with such figures using Mythic Body.
The Bank Clerk’s overall level is close to [Middle Rank], and his power varies significantly, which has a large connection to his real-time “deposit”.
Director Charles further elevated his evaluation of Han Dong, giving him an appreciative look.
Han Dong naturally responded with a smile:
The one that caught up was precisely the [Bank Clerk], not the [Matchstick Man].
My random demeanor at the time happened to restrain a ‘superhuman physique’ like the Bank Clerk’s, who wasn’t very adept at magic. Plus, there was significant support from Eugene and Pope.
Moreover, the Bank Clerk himself didn’t have too much intent to kill, nor seemed to have enough ‘deposit’.
Otherwise, we probably would have needed to pay a greater price to escape.”
Not just Director Charles,
everyone present, whether from the Black Tower high command or the Upper Old Kings, was amazed at this special experience in the Shattered Dimension… Generally there is no comparison between Mythic Body and Middle Rank, the gap is like an unfathomable chasm.
Yet Han Dong and his group not only managed to escape completely, but even severed one of the opponent’s arms, which was indeed extraordinary.
“May I ask Director Charles a question?”
Mr. Eugene gently gestured with his hand, “This meeting segment is indeed to discuss your experiences in the Shattered Dimension, relevant questions can be raised.”
“Director Charles, did you just say the Matchstick Man is not a single Uncontrolled original version?”
The [Matchstick Man] is the third seat of the Penny Family, which is a rare ‘group Uncontrolled’, so we marked the entire family with a single label.
They are an extremely dangerous Uncontrolled group, also a high-level secret of the Black Tower.
If the upcoming cooperation is established, the shared information we provide will include this.”
The impression that the Matchstick Man left on Han Dong was also profound, he didn’t expect the opponent was just one of the family members.
“Director Charles, one last question.
I heard from Pope that because S-01 has been detached from Black Tower’s control for a long time, the ‘line’ connecting the two has long since broken, causing the gap between worlds to grow over time.
The size of the [Shattered Dimension] should be of a Super World scale.
Based on the current state of the Uncontrolled and their exploratory actions on this side, I speculate they might want to use the [Shattered Dimension] as a temporary base after leaving the Black Tower.
Is there such a possibility?”
“Hmm… it’s very possible.”
Charles nodded, folding his hands in front of him, deep in thought.
Even Madame Bei, sitting in the C position, specially took out a notebook to jot this down… If this inference is correct, it might allow for effective lockdown and targeted attacks on the Uncontrolled in the future.
Sitting beside Madame Bei, Security Bureau Director Sethan Woods whispered, “Is this young man the only candidate for Mento (M)?”
As Madame Bei answered, Director Charles also quietly added, “Han Dong also has great talent in control and management; such talent is very rare.” The rightful source is novel★fire.net
Sethan slightly retracted his abdomen and sat upright, “Hmm, Mento’s luck is really good, I haven’t found a suitable successor on my end yet.”
Here, Han Dong’s inquiry ends.
The floor is returned to the host, Mr. Eugene.
“Through the temporary insertion of the meeting segment, I believe everyone has also realized that these ‘Uncontrolled’ who are about to escape the Black Tower have a considerable chance of choosing our side’s Shattered Dimension as a temporary base.
Moreover, the other side also possesses technical methods for stable navigation through the Shattered Dimension.
Since our world still has many ‘cracks’ not yet repaired, once they’ve escaped and settled down, they might use the existence of these ‘cracks’ to invade our world.
During the subsequent voting session, I hope everyone can take this possibility into account.”
As he said this, Mr. Eugene again looked towards Han Dong:
“Currently, Nicholas has only collected one piece of the Dead Spirit Remnants.
Most of the remnants still drifting within the Shattered Dimension need to be continued to search, locate, and collect, and this process can only be done by someone like him who has completed the “Prologue” learning and has been accepted by Dead Spirits.
I have a suggestion here.
After the meeting concluded, Nicholas will continue his dimensional journey.
Considering that the Uncontrolled are also conducting extensive scans of the Shattered Dimension, if they encounter a King Level Uncontrolled again, they probably won’t have such good luck.
Therefore, I hope some attendee here can spare some time to accompany him.
Of course, we cannot alarm the enemy; the specific choice of personnel will be decided by me after the meeting concludes.
We are now entering the crucial “voting session” of this meeting.
Based on the final voting results, we will decide whether to establish a [special cooperation relationship] with the Black Tower side.”
