Chapter 1018 - 1018 1117 Feet and the Void

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1117: Feet and the Void Chapter 1018: Chapter 1117: Feet and the Void “A book?”

“Yes, since you’ve managed to learn the high-imitation version of the ‘Book of Dead Spirit (Eye Manuscript)’, you will certainly be able to learn the other parts as well…”

“Other parts!”

Upon hearing this, Han Dong’s eyes shone.

“Your body is extraordinarily peculiar. It seems to be ‘stitched’ together with limbs from other life forms.

Not only can you control them without rejection, you can even ‘mutate’, ‘enhance attributes’, and ‘evolve’ based on the original limbs.

The most important thing is… the lives you have joined through stitching all originate from ‘Fate’.

Even this Ghoul Arm on the right side, it has thoroughly altered by constantly growing and absorbing external substances.

Apart from your head and two legs, you could be considered a ‘Fate life form’.”

Toad Ancestor easily scrutinized Han Dong’s flesh… However, for an existence like Toad Ancestor, penetrating the essence is quite normal.

Han Dong was more concerned about Toad Ancestor’s words.

“Do you mean I need to ‘achieve balance’, Toad Ancestor?”

“What is the essence of Fate, you must have touched upon it to some extent.

After all, the terrifying black whirlpool branded on your body’s surface indicates that you have reached a very deep area…

This thing will help you maintain balance and make up for your deficiencies.”

An ancient book with a cover made of aged Toad Skin, handed to Han Dong by a humanoid transformed from tentacles.

“What is this?”

“The true copy of the ‘Book of Dead Spirit,’ which has long been lost in the depths of the confused planes during the Chaos calamity.

My master and some of the oldest beings, failing to find it, relied on their memories and their unique royal powers to recreate different types of the Book of Dead Spirit and rename them.

My domain mainly involves ‘Legs’, created from the Atlantis version of ‘Book of Yiburn’ as the ‘Book of Dead Spirit (Leg Manuscript)’.

Compared to the Eye Manuscript that you obtained through an unknown path.

Learning and training with my Leg Manuscript might be very different and will require a long time to adapt.

However… once mastered, you will no longer be bound by human legs, gaining a moving ability comparable to that of the Toad Clan Demon, or even stronger and more perfect.”

‘Book of Dead Spirit (Leg Manuscript)’

Staring at the ancient text branded on the Toad Skin surface, Han Dong was trembling with excitement, a sensation stemming from his desire for knowledge.

‘Legs’

Han Dong had always been considering what kind of legs would be good to attach.

Due to his own ability system, it was ‘complicated’ compared to other knights or demons.

The recently joined ‘Wrestling Club’ seemed to help Han Dong purify and fuse his messy abilities, but it was still a distant affair.

Han Dong wasn’t keen on incorporating new powers.

Therefore, he had been trying to find ‘attribute-less’ purebred legs in the Fate Space.

He actually considered the Alien God of ‘Prometheus’.

But after learning that its deification was still rooted in Black Water, Han Dong eventually discarded the idea.

He never had a very good target.

Moreover, even if he obtained ‘good legs’, he needed to expand his brain and acquire more Load Value to fit them.

The legs had always been a weakness for Han Dong.

During battles, Han Dong moved using various ‘anti-gravity’ flying abilities.

If he had to rely on his legs to run, Han Dong was by far the slowest in the squad… And not just by a little.

The acquisition of such a book, as the Toad Ancestor had said, could make up for Han Dong’s shortcomings.

Even if studying such a heretical tome resulted in his legs becoming deformed, transformed into tentacles, or into the misshapen legs of a toad, Han Dong could still make use of his disguise ability to take on a human form, which wouldn’t affect anything at all.

However,

when the Toad Ancestor handed over the book, he asked a question:

“This book relates to ‘space’… however, I seem to detect an unusual spatial scent on you.

There are countless routes in the myriad manifestations of space, and some are not interconnected.

Would you demonstrate your spatial ability, so I may judge whether you can learn from this book?”

“Sure…”

Han Dong’s carried spatial ability was not gained through his own cultivation.

Rather, it was an additional upgrade option that emerged when he upgraded the ‘Faceless Skull LV.3’ by absorbing special cells from Dean Richard.

Besides expanding the cell, he could also choose to set up a Void Laboratory.

The establishment of the Void Laboratory essentially amounted to adding a ‘Tentacle Attribute.’

The original grey tentacles could be transformed into void tentacles, achieving ‘tactile’ spatial transfer.

Though it paled in comparison to Maritzis’s direct transfer, it was still very useful.

Swish!

When a starlight-glimmering transparent tentacle was offered,

The Toad Ancestor’s pupils slightly dilated, and the hair floating above his head stood on end.

“Void itself! Symbolizing the infinite cosmos, the power of the void… Where did you get this from?

Even if your head has perfectly replicated that ‘Chaotic Walker,’ there shouldn’t be any relation to the void.”

To be able to shock an ancient existence like the Toad Ancestor,

was enough to indicate that the entities behind the void attribute held extremely high status, so much so that even the Toad Ancestor would find it difficult to touch.

“This is a power I acquired through contact with a fate-bound life related to demons in the Fate Space. It happened when my skull underwent assimilation and derivation… It seems to still be at a rather rudimentary level, capable only of touch-based transfers, and it feels quite weak.”

“This is not weak at all. Our Toad Clan’s spatial transfer is restricted, and we cannot use it freely in some regions.

The void tentacles you can summon are unrestricted, and wherever the tentacles can reach, you can transfer freely…

Moreover, even the rudimentary is sufficient.

The void denotes the pinnacle of space, transcending the basic dimensions, with no issues of rejection… You should study this book well.

Perhaps, by using the ‘Leg Manuscript,’ you can delved deeper into the realm of the void.

Your existence is too extraordinary. I even suspect that the owner of the ‘Book of Dead Spirit (Eye Manuscript)’ intentionally sent the book into the Holy City, knowing you would definitely obtain it.”

“Hmm… Thank you, Toad Ancestor!”

“It is what you deserve, and only you can cultivate it. Take good care of it.

As for ‘Watching the Wall,’ high-level Watching is not suitable for you.

I will take you to an ancient temple in N’Kai.

Back when I was an Ancestor Body, I shed a rather perfect outer skin there…”

With that,

The Toad Ancestor, fashioned from tentacles into a greasy middle-aged man, separated from the group and led everyone out of the ‘Dark Labyrinth’ to another region of Enkai-Underworld.

“Toad Ancestor, may I ask if my friends can also Watch the Wall normally?”

“Any human who has absorbed the ‘Power of Demons’ and met the so-called Breaking the Breed requirements can Watch the Wall… After all, the system of all beings is similar.

Even if you humans rely on the growth system given by fate, the next step is the same—’Door of Truth.’

“Understood.”
