Chapter 1945: Chapter 1943: Grandmother’s Request
“The design of the Taiji Abyss is indeed ingenious; it should be considered the most effective sealing facility since I began collecting true remnant pages.
It’s not just about depth; it’s more about the suppression effect brought by the separation and union of Yin and Yang.
Usually, the area suppressing the remnant pages would more or less overflow with proliferants, for example when I previously collected the eye, torso, and feet parts had similar situations.
Here, however, it remains quite clean, with not a single extra arm grown outside.
Not bad, I hope the doctor can fully comprehend its mysteries.”
When Han Dong looked forward, spying on a group of people deep within, engaged in conversation around the remnant pages. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novęlfire.net
A terrifying entity, one that couldn’t be completely perceived by the Demon Eye, immediately sensed Han Dong’s gaze.
A flower resembling a human face broke through the ground at Han Dong’s feet,
its pink lip-like stamen spewing a colorless, scentless hallucinogenic substance.
As Han Dong observed this imagery and intended to hold his breath, he realized he had already fallen victim.
“Hmm?! This toxin takes effect not through inhalation; rather, it activates the moment seen… The instant I saw the flower, my fate was sealed.
Although my body’s adaptability reacted, it was not enough.”
though affected, Han Dong did not sense any hostility,
thus he did not employ “Mad Laugh” to resist the hallucinogenic substance, allowing it to corrode his nerves… after all, it was harmless.
Under the hallucination, the human-face flower transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman, albeit somewhat larger in physique, such that Han Dong’s height barely reached below her chest.
When she looked down at Han Dong, a powerful pressure instantly descended.
Coupled with the hallucinogenic substance absorbed into Han Dong, this effect was enough to force his entire body to soften, fully adhering to the ground to convey respect.
Despite being subjected to both the pressure and hallucination, Han Dong maintained a respectful posture with his head bowed, showing no signs of softening.
“Hmm? Completely unmoved.
Even though the hallucinogenic substance took effect, did it get dissolved by absorption and dispersal behavior through every body part? Even every organ actively participated in this resolution behavior.
Your body… is quite special.”
The woman didn’t force him to kneel further, as she sensed ample ‘respect’ from the low-bowing Han Dong.
Her gaze turned to Helen at the side.
“Helen, why have you come down? Didn’t I tell you not to approach the area below? The remnant pages might affect your body… Even though you’ve become a King, you shouldn’t act recklessly. The danger of the Book of Dead Spirit far exceeds your imagination.”
“Grandmother, Nicholas helped me during the consolidation of my kingship… Besides, he is also considered a friend, so I brought him down.”
Upon hearing Helen mention this name,
the ‘Queen’, who had resided deep within the Dreamlands and never left, recognized the young man before her.
“Nicholas~ so you are that Nicholas! No wonder you resisted the full-body effect of the Dream Secrets, it’s due to the Book of Dead Spirit.
It seems that your[torso], [bones], and [internal organs] have all altered, no wonder many Upper Ranks favor you.
Furthermore, your ‘growth rate’ is unusually exaggerated; since my birth, I have never seen such speed, clearly still an Ancestor Return at the end of the London game, yet becoming a King within a few short years.
By the way, do you have any intentions towards my Helen?”
This topic changed rather quickly, Han Dong waved his hands and hurriedly responded: “Huh? No intentions, Miss Helen and I are just friends.”
But, I also heard that you seemingly have deep ties with the ‘Black Goat’. Even the [Supreme Maternal Goddess] recently recovering from injuries seems closely associated with you.”
The ‘Grandmother’, towering half a head above Han Dong, suddenly reached out, her tender leaf-like palm gently touching Han Dong’s abdomen.
This touch was indeed significant.
She surprisingly sensed from within the most primitive, symbolizing maternal origin, fetal structure.
The previously aloof grandmother’s expression drastically changed, even feeling a flash of reverence towards Han Dong, yet promptly restrained.
“You! How come the ‘Divine Blessing’ of that Maternal Goddess is inside you?”
“Ah~ Oh… this is a safeguard[Mom]gave me when I ventured into the Shattered Dimension. Luckily, I had no use for it due to my fortune. This blessing remains in the lower abdomen for possible future use.”
After pausing for a few seconds.
The grandmother’s expression, attitude, and tone all shifted.
“Given your deep connection with the Black Goat, naturally it’s not for my Helen… However, she herself will also establish relations with another faction, so it doesn’t matter.
You’ve come here specifically for the Hand Remnants, correct?”
“Yes, with the world’s sealed remnant pages, this hand part is the only one I’m missing.”
The grandmother, deeply invested and researched in various hidden and forbidden secret arts, also had innate comprehension and understanding of many demon books,
obviously retaining great interest in the Book of Dead Spirit as well.
The grandmother took a step forward with her towering physique, nearing Han Dong, creating a sense of her chest pressing onto Han Dong’s head.
“How goes the collection of those remnant pages drifting in the Shattered Dimension?”
Han Dong immediately provided an account of the situation in the Shattered Dimension.
The woman’s once proud face instantly darkened, although not towards Han Dong, rather hating the invaders bold enough to seize the brain part, plundering crucial knowledge.
“These reckless guys, daring to snatch the most important Brain Part!
If some characteristics of the brain page manifest among their specialists, things will get quite troublesome… The Brain is unquestionably both the most dangerous and most valuable.”
Han Dong looked helpless,
However, they’ll invade our side sooner or later… By then, I’ll surely locate the Brain first, covertly reclaiming it.
Grandmother, please don’t get upset over this.”
“Hmm… Let’s get back to the point.
Since at the end of the London game, the main hosts granted you ownership of the Book of Dead Spirit, naturally, you can take the Hand stored with me.
However, I have invested considerable effort in sealing the Hand.
Moreover, through years of secret art analysis, my clan can now convey certain characteristics by leveraging the remnant pages, it’s already an important tool supporting our witches’ development.
If you wish to take it, I have one condition.”
“Grandmother, please say.”
“You must conduct the Hand’s practice in the public area of the Witch Conference… During which all witches will observe your practice process.”
“That’s completely fine.”
“Come to the deepest point… If you wish to bring Helen along, ensure she is not affected by the remnant pages.”
The illusion techniques were lifted.
The towering grandmother who stood before him vanished alongside the blossoming flowers from the ground.
Helen followed behind Han Dong, walking together to the deepest point.
Upper and lower stone columns aligned like arms secured the last remnant page needing collection from this voyage.
As Han Dong approached,
the stone column growing from the base willingly presented the remnant page, delivering it to him, the true disciple of the dead spirit.
Dumps and his mother standing at the deepest point both turned their heads simultaneously.
Even the [Mother], upon sensing Han Dong’s emanating aura, naturally removed the hand concealing her face, observing closely.
Dumps displayed a comforting smile, proactively stepping forward to offer a hug.
