Chapter 330: Chapter 302: Divine Embryo

"Alright."

At the critical moment between life and death, Dorling Gray understood the stakes and picked up the [Resurrection Repair Gun] in his hand, aiming it at the head of Sonic the Hedgehog’s corpse lying on the ground and pulled the trigger.

After one shot, there was no significant change on the surface of Sonic, but the consultation glasses showed that his brain had been repaired.

Camus threw the [Soul Chain] sheepskin scroll to Li Cheng, who caught the scroll and tore it open. A translucent green iron chain instantly centered on him and connected to all the players present.

Thus, the connection was established.

"Brother Aphid, we’re counting on you," Bai Jixiong said nervously, "You must come through."

"Don’t worry, Brother Aphid knows everything except how to screw people over."

Li Cheng solemnly rubbed his hands together, "But before we start officially, I need to conduct an experiment."

With that, he took off his shoes and shallowly placed an iron nail under the nail of his big toe.

"Wait,"

Talisman Nail’s eyelid twitched, quickly asking, "Brother Aphid, what are you trying to do!"

"The medical world roughly divides human pain into ten levels: needle pricking the back of the hand and clapping forcefully is about level one to three, knife cutting the hand and soft tissue bruises are about level four to seven.

Placing an iron nail under the nail and then kicking the sofa leg forcefully can reach level nine."

Li Cheng casually said, "Above that is childbirth and being hit in the balls at level ten,

and being hit in the balls during childbirth at level eleven.

I need to test the effect of the Soul Chain."

??

No, it’s just a test, there’s no need to be so harsh! What is this, Guantanamo or Siberian training camp! And what’s the deal with being hit in the balls during childbirth! No male moms, no male moms.

Talisman Nail’s eyelid twitched wildly, and together with Zhao Zijing, they tried desperately to stop Li Cheng, eventually convincing him to retract the nail and put his shoes back on.

"Okay then."

Li Cheng reluctantly took out a surgical blade and lightly cut his thumb, drawing a blood mark.

All players connected to the Soul Chain had the same wound appear at the tip of their thumbs simultaneously. Some continued to bleed while others healed instantly.

It seems like the effect of the Soul Chain is instant activation, sharing the injuries, but each person will need to bear the injuries individually afterward.

The group saw this fact and had different expressions.

Bai Jixiong quickly transformed into a Giant Troll with super strong healing abilities, Zhao Zijing gulped down a handful of painkillers, and Talisman Nail held two bottles of Life Potion near his mouth, ready to gulp them down at any moment.

"Get ready, I’m starting."

Li Cheng’s eyes sharpened, he half-squatted on the ground, rolled up his left sleeve, and fiercely thrust his arm into Sonic the Hedgehog’s chest cavity, grabbing the still-warm heart.

[Assembly Puppet], activate!

Dead bodies are regarded as inanimate objects, under the Assembly Puppet Effect, they combine with Li Cheng’s arm.

Li Cheng held the heart with his left hand, gently squeezing it to drive its renewed beating, pumping blood again, while his right hand gripped Sonic’s head, activating the temporary skill [Extracting Brain Entropy].

He saw it.

The most memorable memory Sonic had before he died.

[The following data is classified, only employees of the fourth level authority of the FBI Special Incident Division can apply to read. After reading, a memory sealing procedure must be undergone]

[Species name: Divine Calamity·Invisible Conception]

[Danger level: 5]

"Brother Aphid?!"

Bai Jixiong’s voice cracked. As the memory flowed into Li Cheng’s mind, the image of the Divine Calamity became abruptly clear, like a screen protector being peeled off and jumping into reality.

[Background: At the beginning of last month, the FBI’s Alpha Special Combat Team discovered a Divine Calamity species at the coordinates of killing field entity-5851, 4164, 9251. It was named Invisible Conception]

[Description: Invisible Conception is a supernatural entity, its appearance resembles a hybrid of sea lilies and octopuses from the real world, with nearly a hundred arms and tentacles. The central disk measures about ten meters in diameter, and its surface is covered with eyeballs]

[Invisible Conception usually exists in a state similar to the quantum observer effect, and can instantly move through the world’s gaps, passing through solids]

[Invisible Conception has a predatory instinct. According to observations, it usually prefers to hunt creatures with developed minds, regardless of being carbon-based or silicon-based. The prey will first feel the temperature drop rapidly for no apparent reason. If there is a light source at the scene, the tentacles wrapped around the prey’s body would be visible]

The room temperature dropped sharply, falling below minus thirty degrees, covering the surfaces of all objects with a layer of frost.

Li Cheng felt his neck go numb, and below the cervical spine, all his body parts simultaneously lost control, making him collapse backward into a chair.

[The concealment effect of Invisible Conception interacts with the prey. The more the prey understands Invisible Conception, the more they can perceive its real appearance. When Invisible Conception completely exits concealment, it will launch an instant-death attack based on the power of rules. Specifically, it manifests as biological electrical disorder]

The effect, enough to be fatal, was weakened to a barely tolerable degree under the action of the Soul Chain.

Dorling Gray, Zhao Zijing, Talisman Nail, and others, fell down paralyzed. Bai Jixiong, with the strongest Life Force, was trembling in place.

[The weight of the prey killed will decrease by 21 grams from thin air. So far, we still do not understand the feeding mechanism of Invisible Conception. Due to its concealment feature, it’s difficult for us to detain Invisible Conception long-term. We can only cordon off an area of no less than one thousand hectares and regularly inject gene clones provided by the Evil Science Alliance to artificially create a hunting zone to attract Invisible Conception]

[According to the project’s deputy director, Dr. Brandon, Invisible Conception is not a complete Divine Calamity, but a juvenile form of some kind of Divine Calamity]

["Listen, I do not agree with your theory that Invisible Conception needs to hunt and feed. It’s a Divine Calamity! A god born from calamity that shouldn’t exist"]

["The gap between it and humans is larger than the gap between humans and ants. Do you need to eat ants to replenish energy? If you ask me, it’s simply playing. Like a child squatting by the roadside, playing with a few ants."]

["That unreasonable observer effect also looks very much like the self-defense talent of a juvenile god. Just like dragonflies’ eggs hatch into nymphs that can feed on mayfly larvae, stonefly larvae, and even small fish upon birth."]

["I have submitted my resignation and applied to transfer out of this facility. I advise you, don’t think about researching Divine Calamities, let alone trying to confine them."]

On the day Dr. Brandon submitted his resignation, Invisible Conception left the hunting zone, killing all the facility staff including Dr. Brandon. The facility activated the self-destruct program, detonating an eighty-thousand-ton nuclear bomb on the spot. It’s unclear if it succeeded in destroying it.

In different people’s perspectives, the clarity of Invisible Conception varied greatly. Dorling Gray still saw it as a shadow, but Li Cheng could clearly see every detail on its body, even every spot on the iris of its eyeball.

Li Cheng, able to move only his head, used his tongue to remove two Bluetooth transceivers from the Backpack, activating the Assembly Puppet Effect, embedding one transceiver into the roof of his mouth, and tossing the other to his right hand, connecting to his palm.

The biological electrical disorder strike of the Divine Calamity rendered all parts of Li Cheng’s body out of control, but through the Bluetooth + Assembly Puppet combination, Li Cheng bypassed the limitation and directly remote-controlled his hand.

Smack!

His right-hand palm from the void pulled out the Victory Flag Spear, throwing it heavily forward into the wooden conference table, activating Special Effect Two [Flag Planting Moment].

It was as if roaring artillery fire and a resounding bugle call echoed from a distance. The conference table suddenly lit up with a circle of dazzling light. Within the range of the circle, all negative effects were instantly cleansed, including the biological electrical disorder caused by the Divine Calamity.

Li Cheng slapped the ground with his right hand, releasing [Death Curse Torrent], propelling himself entirely into the light circle with the back pressure of the Water Cannon, regaining control of his body, standing up and looking up at Invisible Conception.

The hundreds or thousands of eyeballs on the Divine Calamity’s body simultaneously turned to stare at Li Cheng, their gazes intersecting in mid-air.

’The FBI’s nuclear bomb couldn’t kill the Divine Calamity because the bomb itself didn’t have the observer effect, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn’t harm Invisible Conception in the slightest.’

’In other words, to hurt the Divine Calamity, you must use intrinsically observational destructive means.’

Li Cheng flipped his palm and pulled out a scroll from the Backpack.

[Summoning Skill: Manor Guard]

Tear!

The scroll split open from the middle, accompanied by a burst of white light, a phantom of a white cowboy wearing a cowboy hat, a vest, leather boots, and a red neck appeared out of thin air.

He had a cheerful smile on his face, holding a revolver in his left hand and a long whip in his right hand. As soon as he landed, he saw the Divine Calamity hanging from the ceiling, and his smile instantly disappeared.

The skin color of Invisible Conception was black too...
