Chapter 902 - 902 901 The Wardens Test

Chapter 902: Chapter 901: The Warden’s Test Chapter 902: Chapter 901: The Warden’s Test The trip through the wormhole was certainly a fruitful one.

Not only did I fully understand the nature of the City of Gods, but I also vaguely found a secret area related to the core of the City of Gods and triggered the Black Vortex Sensing.

Han Dong couldn’t be sure what the Black Vortex Sensing signified.

If there really was an “Uncontrolled” hidden below, dealing with it would have to wait until my strength was fully restored… A simple comparison of Pennywise’s strength made it clear how powerful an uncontrolled individual could be, almost impossible to kill, let alone capture alive.

If I could indeed capture an Uncontrolled alive, I would receive a 100% reward from the Black Tower world, which would have a significant impact on my overall development in Fate Space.

…

Since it was my first time scavenging in a wormhole, I took some losses.

It took over seven hours to finally find five intact corpses, which counted as completing the basic work for the day.

Just half a day.

The warden, Bath, had already obtained the information I wanted.

“The three people you’re looking for, I’ve only managed to find information on two of them through various channels.

Abe Rhein was picked up by the Blackwater Auction and then sold as a special ‘Human-Beast Species’ to a slave master whose status is higher than mine. Due to the auction’s confidentiality towards buyers, I don’t know which household he’s gone to.

Mia Seminovich was picked up by the largest biological company in the City of Gods – ‘Ryan Biology’, where typically no information should be available.

However, about ten hours ago, your friend managed to break out during the production process and is currently wanted by ‘Ryan Biology’.”

But don’t worry, a slave who escapes from ‘Ryan Biology’ must be extremely talented by nature. If other companies encounter her, they will definitely hide her and train her in secret.

As long as she becomes a ‘White Slave’ through the “Rising Rank Competition”, Ryan Biology will automatically lose control over her as a slave.

As for Dumps Martin, I haven’t obtained any information.”

“Thank you, Mr. Bath…”

With such information, it at least indicated everyone was safe upon arriving at the City of Gods.

The one I’m least worried about is Dumps; I simply don’t believe anything could have happened to him. The reason for the lack of information could be that he had already erased all information about himself.

Mia’s situation is a bit more troublesome, but this can be seen as a trial… With this, I no longer worry about the condition of my teammates and plan to focus all my attention on the “Rising Rank Competition” that will be held in ten days.

“The “Rising Rank Competition” is the only way for individuals to advance from ‘Advanced Slave’ and improve their status.

To rid oneself of the lowest level of slavery and secure a position of power in the City of Gods, participation is essential… If I miss the competition in ten days, the next chance won’t come until next month.

I believe no Fate participant could wait that long.

Abe and the others must have already learned about the competition… There’s no need to actively look for them, as we will naturally meet at the “Rising Rank Competition.”

Now the only thing to do is to achieve the maximum power enhancement and obtain slave equipment with my current body.”

Before I even approached the warden, Bath, for a sparring match, he was already pointing towards an available small beast fight arena, ready to personally test me out.

He gestured to both me and Maritzis at my side.

“Since both of you possess ‘Priest Potential’, get up there together… Normally, the ‘Rising Rank Competition’ allows for teamwork and cooperation between different slaves.”

“All right.”

I, too, wanted to take Maritzis with me to see how this Ancestor Body would perform when her abilities were restrained.

Before the sparring match.

The warden even purposefully took off the biological bone armor from his body and gestured at me and Maritzis.

“Go ahead.”

“Okay.”

At that moment.

After a full day and night of adjustment, having soaked in a bathtub for an entire night… Maritzis had fully adapted to her frail body and slowly recalled how she felt back when she was still a heretic.

‘Jumping Power’

Maritzis leaped up effortlessly to a height of ten meters, moving at an extremely fast pace.

Her throat swelled as she spat out a ball of original Water Series magic… Although it seemed like an ordinary water bullet, it was entirely different from common Water Series magic.

The warden also sensed something amiss and frowned slightly.

At the same time, Han Dong attacked from the front.

Slave equipment – “John’s Spine” was fully activated, with the softened bones immediately wrapping around Han Dong’s limbs.

He had completely abandoned the defense of his body trunk, using it instead to enhance the sensitivity of his limbs.

As the warden considered whether to deal with Maritzis above or the approaching attack from Han Dong… the situation suddenly changed.

Han Dong made an inconceivable move.

His left arm released a chain of Death Black Sand, but the target was not the warden, but the water ball released by Maritzis… When the black sand touched the water ball, a “Magic Fusion” occurred unexpectedly.

The already strange water ball was completely dyed black.

It immediately turned into an unusually sticky black net, entirely enveloping the warden.

Maritzis’ saliva was already highly corrosive, and combined with Han Dong’s Death magic… the destructiveness underwent a qualitative change, creating a kind of deathly corrosion that could cause “Super Fast Gangrene.”

Sizzling~ black smoke rose.

Pools of necrotic tissue fluid flowed down the warden’s body onto the ground.

However, Han Dong did not believe that it would be so simple to deal with a mid-level figure from the City of Gods.

He immediately controlled “John’s Spine” with his mind, changing the enhancement from his limbs to focus solely on his right arm… The result of this single enhancement was beyond Han Dong’s expectations.

“Hmm! Can it work like this?”

When it acted solely on the right arm,

the spine gave rise to a set of dark grey bones, which were harder and more tenacious than bones under normal circumstances.

Moreover,

it wasn’t just adhering to the surface—some of the grey bones directly penetrated into the flesh of his right arm, becoming a part of Han Dong’s arm.

Not to mention,

this type of grey bone that ran through the flesh, along with the pale Zombie arm, was quite a match.

Even the structure of the “Fingers” had changed.

Sharper and more stable.

But…

As Han Dong focused on the warden, ready to strike with his claw,

a strange feeling suddenly invaded his mind. Although he observed no phenomenon, intuition told Han Dong that he should not thrust the claw in.

Changing his combat strategy, he leaped up instead.

He grabbed Maritzis, who was preparing to launch an attack from the air, and landed steadily about ten meters away from the warden.

When Han Dong turned his head to look back, he broke out in a cold sweat.

A bizarre black arm had grown out of the corroded head of the warden, connected to a gigantic scythe.

The ground before him had been slashed open, leaving a deep gash several meters long.

“Very good… This is precisely what I wanted to test.

You will encounter similar situations in the [Promotion Contest], where you won’t be able to fight back. Being able to sense danger and decisively abandon the original plan is the best choice.”

The proliferated scythe arm retracted back into the skull.

The warden, looking like a relatively elegant gentleman, lightly brushed aside the hair in front of him with his little finger. With this gesture completed, all the corrosive injuries he had suffered were also fully healed.

Although he appeared to be a normal human on the outside, he was actually one of the most terrifying monsters in the beast fight arena.
