Chapter 318: Chapter 259 Arson_2

Before becoming a Dusk mercenary, I had to first ensure that the situation here was completely stabilized. Once enough merit points were collected, I wouldn’t take everyone away, but I could take some to a safe world. That way, I could guarantee that Leader Essen’s final actions had value.

...

Setting off again, Zheng Yichen realized that the map in his hands had become completely useless. The only thing that still worked was the positioning function to determine his own location and the location of the planetary abyss.

On the way back, he found the previously destroyed Mo City. How should I put it, there was no more twisted flesh. After Mo City had been burned down, the crater left behind revealed a black ground. Zheng Yichen touched it, and it felt like the hard scab over a wound.

"It seems I’m truly blind now."

After leaving the crater, Zheng Yichen found a new place. The power he had previously accumulated had been depleted, and now he needed to find the right place for a ’Blood Sacrifice’. It was a pity that the flesh people couldn’t accumulate demonic thoughts; otherwise, he could have accumulated enough demonic thoughts by finding a few more cities assimilated by the cancerous world. Then, he would have tried to unleash a full-power strike of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills on this planetary abyss.

Now? He would take it slow, as he already had a plan.

After killing that eyeball, although the enhancements from Feeding enhancement were gone, he found that when he used thermal vision, a part of the enhancement still remained, likely a feedback from the blood drawn from that eye.

As for physical enhancements, there were some, but they were not particularly noticeable. However, the Performance Coefficient of his physical capabilities had improved; it was just that the time was too short to feel it clearly.

Compared to direct improvements in physical capabilities, Zheng Yichen preferred the second type of enhancement. Simply boosting physical strength was easily affected by Environmental Adjustment, causing him to reach the current world’s limit.

Even the highest enhancements could not be fully utilized, while an increase in Performance Coefficient could actually break through limits, and this type of enhancement did not maliciously violate any rules. This was an in-rule, non-rule-breaking way to enhance.

Zheng Yichen somewhat regretted that after killing such a large eyeball, the feedback in this area was not very high, not even as much as the feedback from the heart he had previously taken care of.

To find all the cities he could and then another eye, his plan was straightforward and clear. Accumulate power, hunt and consume another eye, fill himself with BUFFs, and then head directly to the planetary abyss. A better way?

What could be a better way? He was tempted to search for nuclear weapons or the like on this planet, but what would that accomplish? If a nuclear bomb transformed by flesh were to explode... it might not kill him, but it would be more than enough to give him a hard time.

Finding cities wasn’t difficult. Once he found one, he would take action. In the Return to Origin state, as long as he did not exceed the limit, the power could be retained for a long time. He even gained additional insights through this experience, using some of the martial arts techniques from Blood Asura to focus the excess power that overflowed in daily life.

However, Blood Asura’s martial arts techniques were not very strong in this respect, and the derived method was not very useful. He had to find another way.

He continued searching and stopping on his way, cleaning up one city after another. After clearing out a city, he even waited for two days. The city burned into a crater did not sprout anything abnormal, showing that this living planet did not have a scarred physique.

Finding another eye was something that happened a month and a half later. This was still based on the position of the blind eye he had found, with reference to the positional calculations of the planetary abyss. Mainly, the computing work was completed by the artificial intelligence, Lilith.

Once the location was calculated, he immediately went to check it out. If it was wrong, artificial intelligence Lilith would make adjustments. If he had been focused on search alone, it wouldn’t have taken him so much time. While searching, Zheng Yichen also did some ’heinous’ deeds.

Having encountered some cities already, how could he pass up the opportunity? In those cities, he encountered people similar to the Zhang siblings. As for these people... Zheng Yichen was initially hesitant, but after encountering them a few more times, he stopped hesitating.

He encountered a few and casually ended their lives with swift and decisive actions, ensuring that his victims didn’t even realize how they had died.

"Finally found it," Zheng Yichen touched his own cheek, feeling the scruff of his beard, a result of the overflow caused by the Return to Origin gathering.

Zheng Yichen figured out that he could only reduce the speed at which vital energy dissipated in this state by working with the Return to Origin technique—it wouldn’t completely control the dissipation. The trade-off for this reduction was that some parts of his body were growing at an accelerated rate.

Hair and nails, for instance, required cutting every three days. Zheng Yichen felt growing these was less useful than growing muscle. He actually missed the growth state after the serpent’s exuvia; at least that was a process of growing from a juvenile form into an adult, where hair and nails grow fast, but at least the beard doesn’t grow.

It’s like now, when he would touch his face inadvertently, he’d have to shave with a blade. He’d have to start keeping a razor in his vehicle.

"Let’s go set the fire," Zheng Yichen said to the projection of Lilith.

"Understood." Lilith activated the motorcycle through the computer system, carrying Zheng Yichen into this city with gigantic eyes. As the eerie green flames ignited, the entire city stirred into action. To the people of this planet who had burned many of their cities, he had become a public enemy of those flesh mass humans.

He didn’t need to do much; wherever there were flesh mass humans, they would come charging in anger. However, this anger was also a kind of false emotional display, otherwise he would have used Demonic Abyss Seven Kills long ago.

When the ground of the city began to rip open its flesh layer, crystalline cracks appeared. The local ’powerhouses’ arising amongst the flesh mass humans were already well-experienced by Zheng Yichen.

The combat experience he initially lacked rapidly improved in such battles, and his physical combat skills were greatly enhanced.

His superior skills in unloading force significantly increased his tolerance for physical attacks. Of course, this resistance was mostly effective against blunt attacks. For blade and sword attacks, it depended on the strength of his skin; if it held up, the shock could be absorbed and dissipated.

If it couldn’t hold up, then the technique wasn’t of much use.

A night of battle completely enshrouded the city in Hellfire. Amidst the burning sounds were piercing wails, emitted by the flesh mass humans like roars from Hell. At first, listening to it for a while would make one’s hair stand on end, but later it just became normal.

He had now become a cold-hearted arsonist.

One city turned into a massive pit due to the efficient burning of Hellfire.

Having learned from the last experience, Zheng Yichen did not immediately leave. Instead, he waited there. The next day, as he was shaving, the blood-soaked Hellfire smoldering within the pit was completely extinguished by the emerging blood water. Zheng Yichen activated his thermal vision and saw a massive ’heat source’ beginning to converge.

Without the Feeding enhancement, the heat sources he saw were not clear, but this one was so massive that even though it was blurry, he could make it out once the converging heat source beneath his feet formed a vortex.

The enormous heat vortex caused more blood water to emerge in the pit, and the surface of the blood water began to show an uneven layer, resembling cancerous flesh membranes. The flesh membrane quickly filled the pit, and in just over an hour, the landscape here had completely changed.

Standing on the edge of the overgrown scar-like flesh membrane, Zheng Yichen prodded it with the black spear. After agitating the flesh membrane, several flesh mass humans emerged from it. Before they could do anything, the black spear decapitated them, the cut sealed by Hellfire, leaving no chance for the flesh mass humans to regenerate.
