Chapter 1282: Embodiment of Evil
Nether Lotus seemed to realize that she had slipped up and immediately shut up.
âSigh⊠I heard from my elders that that dimensional zone might be where Earthâs Companion Beast resides, but I was captured by that evil human just as I arrived on Earth,â Ice Maiden said pretentiously.
In fact, her situation was similar to what she had said. Her emotions were also rather real.
âYou were also captured by him?â Nether Lotus seemed to find it unbelievable.
Ice Maiden said with a shameful look, âYou will not believe the evil humans are capable of. Itâs practically perverted, and heâs even worse than a pervert. If I donât obey his orders, he will first sever my limbs and then cook them before forcing me toâŠâ
The more Nether Lotus heard, the more horrified she became. She was really frightened. Although death was very frightening to her, she could still overcome some psychological barriers.
However, what Ice Maiden said was something she couldnât tolerate. Just the thought of it made her shudder as her body trembled.
If she were to be treated that way, she would rather die. Nether Lotus had constructed Zhou Wen as an evil super pervert inwardly.
âBefore me, many dimensional creatures had already suffered his abuse. They lived a life worse than death. In the end, they were killed and made into xiaolongbao when he got sick of them⊠Donât you know what xiaolongbao is? Itâs the kind of mincemeat stuffingâŠâ As Ice Maiden spoke, she thought to herself,?
Itâs better to have one dead than both. If the Flower Goddess descends, you will die no matter what. Just shoulder my blame for me.
âDespicable human, how dare he treat us like this? When my mother comes, sheâll definitely rip him to pieces. No, weâll let him have a taste of his own medicine before killing him,â said Nether Lotus through gritted teeth.
This Nether Lotus canât be the Flower Goddessâs daughter, right!?
?Ice Maiden was secretly alarmed, but she pretended not to notice anything amiss. She continued, âNow that we are in his hands, we can only feign civility and preserve our usefulness. When we find an opportunity, we can kill him together. During this period of time, you mustnât disobey him. I donât wish to see my kind die again.â
Nether Lotus was already beginning to believe Ice Maiden. When she heard that, she said, âI understand. Donât worry. Iâll pretend to obey him and find an opportunity to join forces with you to kill him.â
âYes, thatâs it. Preserve our lives and maintain our usefulness. Then, wait for an opportunity to kill him and avenge ourselves and our dead dimensional compatriots,â Ice Maiden said righteously.
âIâm glad I met youâŠâ Nether Lotus nodded repeatedly.
âBy the way, donât try to escape. He has cast an evil curse on us. Once we escape, he will activate the curse. When that happens, our bodies will fester bit by bit, but we wonât die until our bodies are riddled with holes and we wail in agony for three yearsâŠâ Ice Maiden continued tricking Nether Lotus.
In Nether Lotusâs mind, Zhou Wenâs evilness had increased exponentially. He was already an existence at the level of a super unparalleled demon king.
âBear with it for the time being. Iâll quickly think of a way to get him to release you. When the time comes, you must not disobey his orders, or all our efforts will be in vain.â Before Ice Maiden left, she specially exhorted Nether Lotus.
âGot it. Thank you.â Nether Lotusâs eyes were filled with gratitude.
âWhen did I do those things to you?â Zhou Wen said coldly as he released Ice Maiden.
âI had no choice. I just wanted to get some information out of her. Now, we can confirm that sheâs very likely the Flower Goddessâs daughter. However, she had sneaked out. The Flower Goddess doesnât know that sheâs on Earth. Also, she might have eavesdropped on the news regarding Earthâs Companion Beast from Flower Goddess and knows which dimensional zone has Earthâs strongest Companion Beast,â Ice Maiden said as she looked around.
Zhou Wen could tell what she was up to; there was no need for her to repeat herself.
âIâm afraid Iâll have to take the blame for you if the Flower Goddess really descends, right?â Zhou Wen curled his lips.
âIf the Flower Goddess really descends, you will be a dead man regardless. It doesnât matter if you take additional blame,â Ice Maiden said.
âIâll remember this. If you canât get any information about that dimensional zone from her, Iâll try all those methods of torture you mentioned on you,â Zhou Wen said indifferently.
Ice Maidenâs expression changed before she forced a smile and said, âIâll do my best.â
âI donât want you to try your best. I want you to guarantee it.â Zhou Wen had to figure out the dimensional zone.
If it was really as the dimension saidâthat dimensional zone was where Earthâs Companion Beast wasâthen he had to protect it at all costs. He definitely couldnât let the fellows from the dimension succeed.
If they really lured Earthâs Companion Beast out, Earth would be doomed.
After handing such a mentally-taxing task to Ice Maiden, Zhou Wen began studying Absolute Space. Now, it was already ten thousand times bigger.
However, Absolute Space still remained a cubic meter in size. It didnât continue to expand as though this was its limit.
Ten thousand times meant ten thousand meters. To light, this distance was nothing. It wasnât enough time for Zhou Wen to react, much less dodge.
From the looks of it, even if I reach the peak of the Terror grade, I probably wonât be able to extend space sufficiently. Is there any other way?
?Zhou Wen felt that he couldnât only place his hopes on Absolute Space. There wasnât much hope of advancing it to the Calamity grade.
Of course, Zhou Wen didnât give up on studying it. He still tried his best to perfect it, but at the same time, he began searching for more possibilities.
For a similar spatial Terror-grade skill, what if I combine Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping and Absolute Space, I wonder if it gives rise to some possibilities?
?Zhou Wen kept thinking about this problem.
Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping could ignore spatial distances to exchange objects, and Absolute Space was similar to a spatial bubble. Zhou Wen felt that there was a possibility stemming from the combination of the two, but he had yet to figure out how the two could be combined.
During the few days he stayed in Luoyang, there werenât many problems with the Overseer Manor. Typically, with Qin Wufu presiding over it, Zhou Wen didnât need to deal with the details.
Ding!
One day, when Zhou Wen was grinding the Venusian instance dungeon, another Golden Battle God Companion Egg dropped. Now, he was just short of Mark I and Mark IV before he gathered all six Golden Battle Gods.
Can six Terror-grade Golden Battle Gods fuse into a Calamity-grade Companion Beast?
?Zhou Wen was filled with anticipation.
If he could obtain a Calamity-grade Companion Beast, all the problems would be resolved. He wouldnât have to go through so much trouble.
The Cube stirred again as an unfamiliar creature appeared on the platform of the Venusian dimensional zone.
