Chapter 611: Weapon’s Origin

The blue energy coursing through Jiang Liushi’s body made his blood boil and gave him a sense of invincibility.

Suddenly, Jiang Liushi exploded with power again, stepped heavily on the ground and launched an attack on the pangolin. Before the pangolin could even react, Jiang Liushi’s fist had already landed on its head. As if the heavy punch was not enough, Jiang Liushi’s hand overflowed with energy, which he released like the air cannon’s compressed air!

The pangolin was sent flying yet again only to crash against another concrete wall. It could hardly move now. Even so, Jiang Liushi didn’t let it recover and attacked it again, aiming the space between its eyes.

Suddenly, as Jiang Liushi was about to deliver the final, something unexpected happened. At that moment, a transparent curtain of light appeared in front of the pangolin, protecting it. As a result, Jiang Liushi’s fist hit the curtain of light, making it shake violently as if it was on the verge of shattering. At the same time, the blue energy enshrouding Jiang Liushi’s fist became dimmer.

Without wasting any time, Jiang Liushi released a barrage of attacks. This time, all of the pangolin’s scales burst open, and torrents of blood flowed out of them. The pangolin swayed in pain while trying to block Jiang Liushi’s violent attacks.

The pangolin had left Jiang Liushi somewhat shocked. ‘What is this curtain of light?’

In Jiang Liushi’s mind, mutant beasts relied on their strength, speed and commanding weaker beasts to attack others. Variant ones could even spew out flames, venom, and other substances, but never had it crossed his mind that a mutant beast could use something as the curtain of light to protect itself.

Finally, unable to withstand the barrage of attacks, the curtain of light crumbled, causing a shockwave that burst out in every direction. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the shockwave, the pangolin struggled to move and dag on the ground. In the blink of an eye, its fore-paws broke through the earth and stone like drilling tofu, and it disappeared underground. At the same time, its hind legs were pushing earth and rocks outwards, blocking the passage it had dug. It was about to run away!

As the pangolin was about to run away, the tour bus’ engine suddenly roared like an angered beast. Then, a cannon barrel, which was emitting black light, appeared in front of the bus. It was none other than the Air Cannon that was fueled by the Black Hole’s energy!

In the next instant, the cannon released a black plasma beam straight to the ground! The plasma beam seemed to distort the space around it before it struck the ground!

Boom!

The earth split open as if a high magnitude earthquake had just taken place. Then, the pangolin, which was bombarded by the attack, drilled its way out of the underground in a sorry state. Almost simultaneously, Jiang Liushi pounced at it and punched its mandible heavily, blasting it directly. Then, he used the blue light to piece the pangolin’s head from the inside. After that, the pangolin collapsed on the ground, convulsing crazily.

Jiang Liushi jumped beside it and took a deep breath. It was the first time ever since his evolution that he had used his power to the full extent. He was also extremely satisfied in his perfect cooperation with Ying.

‘The spiritual thread controlling the pangolin has been cut. If my speculation is right, the pangolin’s controlled should be far away from us,’ transmitted Ran Xiyu to Jiang Liushi.

‘Oh? Really?’ asked Jiang Liushi.

‘I had been monitoring the surrounding area until now to prevent that person from making a sneak attack. I even extended my search radius, but I couldn’t find the traces of anyone,’ replied Ran Xiyu.

Ran Xiyu’s energy was restraining her from making a wider search, but if she focused only in one direction, it was easier to increase the search range. Since Ran Xiyu could not find where the spiritual thread’s other end was, it only meant that the pangolin’s controller was powerful than Ran Xiyu.

‘That person’s mental strength is stronger than yours, and he or she can control mutant beasts from such a distance… Who is that person and how can he be this powerful?’ Jiang Liushi sighed. He had not expected to meet such a mighty opponent as soon as they stepped foot in Japan.

Jiang Cheng walked toward him while staring at the pangolin’s corpse. “Brother Jiang, you are so cool! You killed that mutant beast so easily. Your tour bus is also quite powerful!” Jiang Cheng was truly awed with Jiang Liushi’s abilities.

Jiang Cheng had also encountered big mutant beats in the past, but none of them was as fearful as the pangolin. But still, no matter how powerful it was, Jiang Liushi had still killed it easily. Thus, the admiration Jiang Cheng felt for Jiang Liushi was genuine and from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Liushi shook his head. Just as an old saying went, ‘Strength limits vision.’ It was impossible for Jiang Cheng to imagine Jiang Liushi’s real power. Meanwhile, it was also impossible for Jiang Cheng to realize the real power of that person controlled the pangolin.

“Jiang Cheng, I’d like to deal with something first,” said Jiang Liushi and then he walked toward Daylily as she was the pangolin’s target all along.

“Do you have anything to say?” asked Jiang Liushi coldly.

If not for her, how could have the pangolin attacked them?

Ran Xiyu was interpreting for Jiang Liushi while using her spiritual power to shield off their conversation.

Daylily looked at Jiang Liushi and then at the pangolin’s corpse without saying anything. After a long time, she finally said two words, “Shen Kui!”

“What?” asked Jiang Liushi.

“A Puppeteer! He is quite good at using mutant beasts or their body parts as materials, coupled with other metals to produce puppets. Today’s attack fits his methods. He is called Shen Kui, one of Genesis’ 10 Advocates.”

“Genesis?” Daylily’s explanation shocked Jiang Liushi but also enlightened him. It was reasonable for one of Genesis’ Advocates to be this powerful.

“How many Advocates does Genesis have? Weren’t they eleven?” asked Jiang Liushi. He could clearly remember that Shen Hai had invited him to join them, becoming the 12th Advocate.

“You’re right, they’re 11 but one of them is the Chancellor, so I didn’t regard him as one,” explained Daylily.

“Chancellor?” Jiang Liushi frowned. He could imagine that Genesis’ Chancellor must be far stronger than the Advocates. Genesis was not an organization one could trifle with easily.

“What about you? Why does Shen Kui want to kill you?” asked Jiang Liushi as he was about curious about Daylily’s identity. Not only had she deliberately been hiding amongst the slave girls, but she had also changed her appearance. All these indicated that she was hiding from someone.

Daylily remained silent again, but Jiang Liushi had the patience to wait for her to answer. Ten minutes later, Daylily finally spoke again. “I’m an experimental carrier of the Weapon…”

“The Weapon!” shouted Jiang Liushi. “What does experimental carrier mean? And what’s the Weapon?” asked Jiang Liushi, he really needed to know.

“Actually, the origin of the weapon is very complicated. It was first discovered while exploring for the remains of a civilization more than half a century ago. It looks like a dark green crystal, which is as long as a finger. Its shape is a regular octahedron, similar to the shape of a natural diamond. In the beginning, Genesis did not know what the Weapon could do, and they even regarded it as a special colored diamond. Later, we found its hardness was much stronger than that of diamond, which brought together unimaginable future technology skills. Before the virus outbreak, Genesis’ experts had a breakthrough in their research finally. They discovered that the crystal is the core part of a weapon…”

“What’s the weapon?” asked Jiang Liushi.

“It’s a kind of armor that can cover the whole body. This armor seems to have its own magnetic field. It’s not crafted from a simple piece of metal. When the armor is summoned, it can form a full range of protection, allowing one to battle on the ground or even in the air if they want.”

“Really?” Jiang Liushi was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, was it not like Iron Man’s suit?

If the power of the Weapon could be compared with the armor of Iron Man, it would be amazing. Countless people would like to get it. Even Jiang Liushi wanted to get his hands on it now. Although he was powerful enough, as long as he could obtain the Weapon, he would become invincible.

“We discovered that the Weapon is located in Japan, but nobody knew what it really was. You said it was discovered while exploring for the remains of a civilization?” asked Jiang Liushi.

Daylily nodded and explained, “What you said is correct, but it was another one. More than half a century ago, when Genesis discovered the so-called Weapon, it was located in the center of a relic that the civilization had left. Well, it’s better to say they had left a stone plate, above which was a groove with four nooks. In the nooks were supposed to be four objects, but we only found one. The other three were nowhere to be found. From the shape of the nooks, three of the objects should have the shape of an octahedron, just like the one Genesis found. However, the nook at the center of the plate was spherical, and its shape was as big as a fist. Actually, it’s the most precious one. Thus, Genesis wants to obtain it the most.”

Then, Daylily added, “After the virus outbreak, Genesis obtained more information about the relic. Their experts estimated that it was left by an alien civilization and that civilization was eradicated due to unknown reasons. The Weapon should be the only thing that remained from that civilization, and it was their highest technological invention. Moreover, the Weapon can be used by integrating with a living organism. Once it finds a suitable carrier, it will merge with the carrier. The three pieces of octahedral weapons were the battle suits of its carrier. As for the spherical weapon, it should be a spaceship, the ultimate warship of the alien civilization!”

When Daylily said that, Jiang Liushi suddenly realized something. ‘Spherical weapon…ultimate warship…is that Starseed!?’

Starseed was spherical, and after it was integrated with his mental power, it had stayed in his brain and could not be separated from it. Starseed’s prime role was to construct his MCV! However, it could be said that was just the first shape, its primal form, and foundation. After Starseed underwent evolution thanks to the Black Hole’s energy, the MCV’s forms were getting more sophisticated and high-tech. If it kept evolving, it would sooner or later turn into a warship!

Was Starseed the most important Weapon? Its sole purpose was to build a spaceship! In other words, whoever controlled Starseed would also control a super warship!

It was a pity that the civilization was extinct as Starseed now needed more time and energy to rebuild a spaceship.

What awed Jiang Liushi was that Starseed had chosen him as the Captain of the spaceship, and the person who’d naturally gather the needed materials. Thinking about that, Jiang Liushi felt like he had found the missing pieces of a puzzle.

The octahedral weapons were actually the Captain and his combat members’ battle suits. As for the Black Hole, it was probably the spaceship’s source of energy. That was also the reason Starseed had urged him through its transitions to capture it.

Now, more than ever, Jiang Liushi was determined to hide Starseed’s secret. Once Genesis discovered that the long-sought Weapon was in Jiang Liushi’s mind, they would hunt him down. Fortunately, other than Ying, nobody on the tour bus knew about his secret.

“Thank you for the useful information. I still have a few questions. What is the experimental carrier? And what is your relationship with Genesis?” asked Jiang Liushi asked.

Once again, Daylily remained silent after hearing the questions. It was as if painful memories were resurfacing in her mind. Thus, she became muddle-headed.
