Chapter 652: Shadow Link

Li Yunmu suddenly woke with a start. Just then, he had a strange dream in which he had surprisingly turned into a shadow. Moreover, he had appeared in a dark space together with Lin Yuerou.

When he opened his eyes, the first person to appear in his gaze was Brunhilda. She was rested along the ice-bed while in deep sleep.

Li Yunmu’s sudden movement caught her attention. She slowly opened her eyes and said in a pleasantly surprised voice, “Li Yunmu, you awake?”

She didn’t call him a mortal, but had directly used his name. It seemed that she had already began to accept Li Yunmu as her husband.

Li Yunmu pushed himself in a sitting position with his beaten body and asked while feeling somewhat restless. “Was I asleep for a very long time again? What exactly did I do? Why do I lose consciousness every time?”

Brunhilda smiled lightly at him. “You have already obtained father’s approval. Henceforth, you will eternally be a member of Scandinavia. Moreover, father has also decided that when the heavenly father abdicates, you will be appointed as the new king of Scandinavia.”

Li Yunmu’s went wide-open. “I have no idea what happened. At that time, I only felt my brain becoming hot and then I lost consciousness. After that, I had a very long dream.”

Brunhilda smiled at him again. “Our wedding wasn’t finished, so father said that it will be held tomorrow once more. This time, I will not let you go!”

Li Yunmu remained silent for a moment then muttered, “I only want to know what exactly I did when I lost consciousness…”

“You’ve become the hero of Scandinavia. If not for you, we would’ve went past the brink of destruction. You fended off the Heavenly Gods Council!”

“I? How could I possibly beat a master god?”

“By relying on the Dark State!”

Li Yunmu raised his eyebrows. “Again the Dark State? System, was it you again?”

[I only acted for your own good. With your strength, do you think you could be an opponent of those ancient gods? You aren’t even a half step god and you want to beat ancient gods… That’s like striking a stone with an egg. The system used the cheat to help you!]

Li Yunmu rolled his eyes. “Then should I thank you now?”

[No need to be polite. In any case, the system has saved your life many times now. But I am very angry with your decision. I hope that you won’t let your emotions affect our decisions in the future.]

Li Yunmu knew that the system felt that way because of him causing changes in its plans.

At this time, Li Yunmu suddenly received a series of notifications from the system. They were the rewards he had reaped after defeating ancient gods, and they were extremely generous.

[Obtained 10 000 experience points for defeating ancient gods. Unlocked new ability. It can be exchanged for 20 000 points. Do you wish to unlock the new ability?]

Li Yunmu knitted his brows—defeating so many ancient gods had surprisingly obtained him a lot of experience. The system’s level had also jumped from the ninth to the eleventh level in one stroke. The Great Devouring Technique which he was supposed to obtain when the system reached the tenth level was also unlocked.

After obtaining the Great Devouring Technique, Li Yunmu was startled. Maybe that ability was excessively tyrannical, but when he looked at the other newly unlocked skill, he was stupefied.

Name: Shadow Link.

Category: Special skill.

You are reading story Shadow Hack at novel35.com

Grade: SS.

Properties: Allows the shadows in any space to be always linked with the host.

Attention: You have only defeated so many ancient gods by relying on this old man’s cheat, but you think that you have relied on your own strength. Unlocking Great Devouring Technique for you was already more than sufficient, so you should learn to be content!

“What is this new ability? Don’t tell me it is not an offensive ability?”

In the beginning, Li Yunmu was somewhat interested in this skill, but when he looked at the ‘attention’ part underneath, he clearly understood that this skill was the system’s way of getting back at him. The skill was of little value and was clearly the system mocking him.

Although the Great Devouring Technique had been unlocked, he was far from sufficiently proficient in using it to be able to truly devour all living beings. The amount of space elements and experience points required to reach that stage could only be astronomical.

Li Yunmu didn’t even dare to imagine the amounts. But even if the new ability appeared quite useless , it was provided by the system, so there was certainly a hidden use for it.

Li Yunmu carefully pondered over it. The shadow placed at any space couldn’t be accomplished presently? But what exactly did the unlimited link mean? Could it mean that the main body and shadows would make synchronized movements? Or perhaps he could use his shadows and the main body to unleash spatial transformation?

Speaking of this, it was still quite a useless ability. It couldn’t compare to a life-saving skill like his Insect Step!

Useless was useless!

Li Yunmu couldn’t help but be somewhat depressed. Unfortunately, he had obstructed the system’s plan to obtain the secret genetic code. Thus, it had become somewhat angry and was deliberately annoying him.

“Hello, system, even if I didn’t agree to assist you in getting your hands on the secret code from Whale City, you shouldn’t be so hard on me….”

The system’s voice was completely calm when it replied to him.

[You chose to battle with Heavenly Gods Council—that’s your choice! Although this choice was extremely stupid in my eyes, you youngster could be considered to have profitted from the disaster. You have obtained Odin’s complete trust and new status.

[That old man intends to pass the throne to you, which clearly show that your position in his heart has increased greatly. This could be considered as an opportunity for you, an opportunity which would allow you to establish yourself in the Origin World.]

Li Yunmu nodded. “Hearing your words, it seems like everything had been settled. But I still don’t understand, how exactly did I beat the people of Heavenly Gods Council into retreat? I can remember that none of those ancient gods were easy to deal with!”

The system gave a disdainful look to Li Yunmu: this guy was clearly taking credit for its hard work. But before taking credit for its achievement, the system still had to share its grand feat with Li Yunmu.

[Actually I have already obtained the secret code.]

The system hadn’t finished speaking when Li Yunmu received a reminder revealing the position of the secret code. He followed the system’s notification and gradually reached the box.

He raised his brows and asked, “Is this the secret code which you have been talking about? Isn’t this a safe deposit box?”

[It contains the secret code! If it had been unlocked, the genes contained inside would have spread through the entire Origin World, and from then on, gods would have began to pop out everywhere! The Origin World would become a land only for gods and various large scale conflicts would occur.]

“But the secret code is in your hands now, so you don’t need to worry about this situation.”

Li Yunmu was continuously fiddling with the code when he was ruthlessly berated by the system.

[Are you an idiot? Don’t handle it so casually! What if it opens up, blockhead!]

“Weren’t you saying that it is guarded by a secret code? I don’t know the code so how could I open it?”
