Chapter 1163: Chapter 1162: Selfishness Chapter 1163: Chapter 1162: Selfishness âThe Stone Doors left behind by the Elder Race are quite sturdy.
Special tools are required to sever the connection between the door and the Meat Mountain; otherwise, even I would find it difficult to break through.â
Standing before the shattered Stone Door was a âDeep Sea Visitorâ whose body could fill the entire corridor.
1. His head was swollen and covered with thick skin, lacking any facial features; instead, there were five large holes from which tentacles covered in fish scales extended, hanging across his face.
2. Below his neck was an extremely exaggerated [Deep Sea Muscle] body.
The front of his body was shark-white, with blocky muscles distinctly outlined under his skin, totaling eighteen abdominal muscles. Additionally, layers resembling those of eels grew at the sides of his waist, perfectly fitting into each abdominal creviceâthese acted as a âMuscle Limiterâ that effectively restricted the size of the Deep Sea Visitorâs muscles, allowing him to adapt to any environment.
3. His back skin was shark-grey.
In addition to sporting huge shark-like fins, several sturdy fin structures also symmetrically grew on different areas of his back.
These were distributed over the shoulders, scapulae, and waist.
4. Currently on land, his lower body differentiated into a human-formed leg structure, also featuring fins on the calves.
5. His personal domain: The ground of the Meat Mountain under his feet was covered by his domain, transforming a ten-meter radius into a shallow water area, with numerous sharks swimming in the water.
ââ
In the Deep Sea Visitorâs hand was a starfish tool, which he used via the starfishâs adhesion to disconnect the Stone Door from the Meat Mountain, then effortlessly smashed the door with a punch.
Do not be fooled by his muscular physique; he is also proficient in the âDeep Sea Secret Method.â
Han Dong and Eugenes, who were fighting, were immediately affected by a type of Deep Sea Territory influence⊠In a blink, both were imprisoned in a sea prison, their bodies covered in starfish that restricted the flow of energy, rendering them unable to break free.
âI donât want to waste time; I will remove the restrictions in ten seconds⊠If you still want to fight, I will directly mete out punishment.â
Whoosh!
The sea prison collapsed.
However, the peculiar group of starfish remained attached to both men as a restraint, particularly on Eugenes⊠At this moment, the team that had rushed over from the Deep Sea held a search warrant signed by the Old King.
Before finding Han Dong and Dumps, they had already uncovered many issues related to the Shoggoth tribe.
Staring at the Deep Sea Visitor, whose muscles nearly filled the corridor, Eugenesâs expression was extremely fierce⊠He was well aware that his possession plan had failed.
â[Sea ScrollâMeat Shark Myth] General Jike DaremansâŠâ
Eugenes was very familiar with the Mythic Bodies of the Deep Sea.
With such a figure arriving, he had no chance of resistance at present.
General Jikeâs robust voice echoed in the stone chamber: â[Valen Nicholas] is a Deep Sea Envoy confirmed by our Master, and also a winner of the London game.
You dared to deceive and bring him to the Meat Mountain. In cutting off contact with the outside world, you joined forces with the Shoggoth Master to infringe upon him.
Additionally, we have discovered a large number of studies in the underground laboratory that are not within the bound of the rules.
Given these two points, I will escort you to the [Supreme Will] for a deep consciousness investigation.â
At that moment, Eugenes even had the idea of desperately using the Stone Spear.
If he were taken to the [Supreme Will], all secrets would be exposed, and by then, he would not only be stripped of his identity.
However, the chance of success in a desperate move was less than 1%.
âWhat should I do? What should I do? Is there any way to minimize the losses?â
Eugenesâs brain was racing but could not find a good solution⊠Just when Eugenes was about to go berserk.
Snap!
A thin, long arm suddenly rested on his shoulder.
âGeneral Jikeâitâs a misunderstanding!
We were merely sparring, Eugenes had no intent to harm me.
The reason we chose this stone chamber for our sparring session is because we have been discussing the issue of [Fate Space] these days.â
âYou must have also realized that most of the Elder Raceâs research projects are related to Fate, including a type of âhuman shellâ that can be used for Fate identification⊠Isnât that right, Eugenes?â
âOh⊠Yes! Thatâs right.â
Eugenes was momentarily stunned.
His super high-speed computing brain also crashed due to a series of statements made by Han Dong⊠He couldnât understand why Han Dong would say such things.
The green-glowing eyes glanced sideways at the young man beside him.
Meanwhile, Han Dongâs statement had also plunged General Jike, who had come to the rescue, into silence.
Han Dong immediately continued, âBy the way, Eugenes has also promised me, once the âAntarctic tourâ is over, he will let me select a few of the outstanding Elder Race members for scientific research in my manor.â
At this moment, Eugenes could not possibly deny Han Dongâs statement and could only nod, âYes, yes⊠We greatly appreciate the scientific support provided by Nicholas and will surely achieve cooperation in research.â
General Jike was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: âOh! I see.
However, I will still report some of the unauthorized research that your Shoggoths are conducting.â
Eugenes quickly nodded, âOkay, we will definitely cooperate with the rectifications!â
General Jike then looked at Han Dong, âNicholas, how much longer do you need here? We have been instructed to bring you back to the Deep Sea for a while⊠Itâs best if you come with us.â
âPlease wait a moment, General Jike, Iâll select a few [Elder Race] members and then we can leave immediately⊠Eugenes, letâs go.â
Han Dong gently patted Eugenes on the back, displaying a very friendly demeanor.
âAlright⊠Weâll return directly through the secret passage to the laboratory area.â
âIâm really sorry⊠I didnât expect such a misunderstanding to arise, we can discuss related issues next time you visit London City. By the way, you really didnât pull any punches during our sparring just now, it really hurt.â
Han Dongâs acting was seamless, and he even playfully raised his little fist, gently tapping it against Eugenesâ arm.
âŠ
Half an hour later.
Han Dong had obtained the âthingâ he wanted, and under the escort of a group of Shoggoths, he moved directly through the secret passage to the exterior of Meat Mountain.
Waiting here, apart from General Jike, were also a series of Ancestor Return level guests from the Deep Sea, and a worried-looking Nicole.
On the way back to the Coral Ship, leading General Jike asked:
âEugenes must be harboring some evil intentions, the âStone Spearâ in his hand doesnât seem to be meant for sparring at all.
Nine times out of ten, he wants you dead⊠after all, when I broke open the Stone Door, the stone chamber was filled with Eugenesâ malevolent thoughts and aura of murder.
Moreover, we have already gathered enough evidence, if you point out Eugenesâ misdeeds, we can take him to [Supreme Will] for Judgment.
His Element Body status will be revoked, and he will be imprisoned for at least ten years or even longer.
Furthermore, the Old Kings will start re-evaluating the value of the âShoggoth tribe.'â
Han Dong explained calmly:
âEugenesâ goal is to take over my body, which is indeed detestable.
Antarctica, Demon Forbidden Area, the previous world invasion points⊠At least from my perspective, the [Shoggoth Master] is still seriously supervising everything in Antarctica, even combining himself with Meat Mountain.
This role is difficult for other Demons to replace, and if exposed here, who will manage Antarctica?
Moreover, Eugenes is quite strong, and his position in the Element is irreplaceable⊠A storm is about to sweep our world, and he can serve as an important strategic piece.
Of course, I have some personal stakes as well.
These Elder Race members are too important for me, they are an indispensable part of my manor.
Additionally, my personal issues with Eugenes, I would prefer to deal with them myselfâŠâ
Hearing Han Dongâs response.
General Jike also showed a smile, âNo wonder you have gained the recognition of our master.
Youâre right, this group of disgusting green bugs are hard to replace⊠Letâs go, leave this cursed place.â
