Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1139 - Chapter 1139 Chapter 349 The Mysterious Ivan_3

Chapter 1139: Chapter 349: The Mysterious Ivan_3 Chapter 1139: Chapter 349: The Mysterious Ivan_3 Leonard Churchill read up to this point, a trace of puzzlement knitting his brows.

With Aragon already being so powerful, and having a hero fate, how could he have almost been corrupted by this Secret Skill?

Corrupted?

Leonard couldn’t understand it and continued reading.

“I am not sure what it is. At the very least, at my current tier, I am still incapable of restraining that kind of Dark Energy. Therefore, I am sorry, the Secret Skill you are seeing now is just a very rudimentary application. But it’s extremely practical. I think you can easily get started with it, because it is a Repulsive Force that is completely opposite to gravitational force…”

Upon reading this, Leonard’s eyes sharpened, mumbling to himself, “So it is ‘Repulsive Force,’ huh…”

Suddenly, the previous doubts seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

He thought of the Mechanical Angel he had encountered before. Both Repulsive Force and Dark Energy were almost exactly as described in this Secret Skill.

Without surprise, the power source of that Mechanical Angel must be this ‘Day Without Light.’

“So, that kind of Dark Energy, does it contaminate one’s personality? Why isn’t there any issue after I’ve absorbed so much…”

The thought had only just emerged when Leonard immediately figured out the reason, “The Clown mask!”

After the Clown mask advanced to Epic Quality Tier in Summer Shepherd City, it gained an entry called “Humanity’s Anchor.”

The most significant meaning of this entry is that it anchors you as a “person”!

This was also why Leonard remained steadfast in his main personality, regardless of how many negative Spirits appeared in his mental world or how much negative Mental Power he absorbed!

“Does that mean the Clown mask has suppressed that Dark Energy’s contamination of me?”

The only possibility Leonard could think of was this one.

So, does that mean I could cultivate directly without needing a hero fate to suppress the corruption, unlike Aragon?

Leonard seemed to see a clear path.

But he wasn’t sure of this conjecture right now and could only follow Aragon’s advice to first contact the practical applications of the “Repulsive Force.”

As the Clown illusion appeared, the mysterious symbols on the stone tablet became comprehensible information that flooded into his mind.

Once he saw this, Leonard became immersed in the profound contemplations.

…

Time flew by.

And in a blink, five days passed.

Seven Brown had already moved out of the hotel and was staying elsewhere.

Leonard went out to gather information and confirmed that the Ninth Iris Legion had indeed breached Starfall City, but they didn’t intercept the Mechanical Angel.

That meant the Orlan Royal Family was freed up.

Leonard also felt that if they really had a means to lock on, they probably should have found him by now.

And to make a move in Sinless City, a direct confrontation was absolutely impossible.

The best choice would be a quick kill or the use of some special Relic, like those for control.

Since they knew it was Leonard and a defecting Mechanic in action, even sending someone of the Seventh Grade would be almost impossible to secure a quick kill.

So the second possibility was more likely.

To prevent being wiped out in one swoop, Leonard had Seven Brown stay at another hotel on Downing Street.

If either side had an issue, the other would be able to reinforce them in time.

This tactic was the best countermeasure he could think of.

Meanwhile, in these days, Leonard tried to eliminate as many potential risks as possible.

He used a camera to copy all the blueprints and documents that could be replicated and sent them off to the Song Family. The originals were disposed of.

But there was a batch of information in those documents that couldn’t be duplicated with images, which Leonard had to copy over bit by bit, and after several days, more than half was still not done.

This also made Leonard’s instincts sense danger.

As for Ivan, this little girl turned out to be easy to take care of.

Apart from eating a bit more, she wasn’t picky at all.

After eating, she would sleep; most of the time, that was the state she was in.

Leonard didn’t need to worry too much about her.

Except for feeling like time was always tight, everything was quite ideal.

….

On this day, in the room.

Leonard Churchill hovered in mid-air, chatting with Seven Brown through a communication device while contemplating the Secret Skill engraved on the stone tablet.

Upon closer inspection, he was meditating cross-legged, his body a foot above the ground.

It wasn’t the Controlling Air technique that kept him aloft, but a pure use of Repulsive Force to suspend his body.

“Tsk tsk, no wonder… In theory, it could repel all matter and achieve an absolute defense,” he murmured.

Between Leonard’s fingers, five flying knives swam through the air like fish, moving with agility.

As Aragon had said, once one deeply understood Gravitational Force, mastering the opposing Repulsive Force came easily.

With his exceedingly keen Enlightenment, Leonard had grasped some tricks of using Repulsive Force in just five days.

Now, he could not only greatly enhance the power of his flying knives but also understood the principle behind the “Repulsive Force Barrier” employed by the Mechanical Angel.

As for the “Corruption Contamination” that Aragon mentioned, Leonard was initially very cautious, but later he found that he was truly unaffected.

It seemed, as expected, that the Clown mask anchored his humanity, and the Demon God Secret Skill’s contamination had no negative effect on him.

However, the part about shooting “Dark Energy,” which even Aragon hadn’t fully fathomed, was something Leonard couldn’t learn from.

Compared to Repulsive Force, the progress on another Demon God Secret Skill, ‘Fantasy Universe’, was extremely slow.

Almost no progress at all.

Thinking of this, Leonard glanced at the cute little girl drooling crystal-clear saliva while lying on his head and the corners of his mouth lifted in a slight smile.

Ivan’s body was quite special; she could consume food several times larger than her body size and could shrink or expand at will.

Now she was like a slightly overweight cat, lazily sprawled on top of Leonard’s head after a full meal.

This little girl was somewhat of a familiar face.

After feeding her a few meals, the two quickly became close.

For some reason, she suddenly found that sleeping on top of Leonard’s head was more comfortable than in her own nest.

And so it had remained.

Leonard found this quite agreeable.

With the girl by his side, he felt an increase in his Space Affinity.

He hadn’t guessed wrong; Aragon had sent this little girl not just as a refuge but indeed as a cultivation BUFF.

Because the Space Law was incredibly difficult to get started with.

After all, being an utmost Law, a rapid initiation required either the aid of treasures imbued with the Space Law, such as absorbing a large amount of Spatial Crystal Cores to enhance affinity for the Space Law and accelerate Law Understanding,

Or some special guidance was needed.

The first option was nearly out of the question since space treasures were extremely rare; Leonard had only ever seen one small crystal core.

The leader of the Rebel Dragon Army, who sent over the Secret Skill, had evidently considered this issue as well.

So, he sent Ivan, the little girl, over.

With these thoughts, Leonard felt an even greater sense of fondness for the adorable creature on his head.

Collecting his thoughts, he continued his contemplation of the Secret Skill.

What he lacked the most now was time.

Given a few more days, he would have finished transcribing those blueprints, and the hidden dangers should be thoroughly addressed.

But evidently, the enemy could think of this too.

The calamity struck without any warning.

Suddenly, Leonard opened his eyes wide to see the room around him melt away as if it transformed into a world of distorted oil paintings in the blink of an eye.

Despite witnessing this scene, he wasn’t surprised and said to himself, “A spatial Barrier? So they have come after all…”

The enemy had followed the anticipated plan to the letter, choosing to employ a spatial Barrier to control the target before striking.

However, the enemy probably hadn’t anticipated that Leonard was quite familiar with this Barrier.

After all, he had been trapped inside it twice before.

This Barrier was none other than the Disaster Object [X-215-Monet’s Sunrise].
