Chapter 1164 - 1164 1163 Return

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1163: Return Chapter 1164: Chapter 1163: Return Black Flesh Mountain.

Deep within the underground research facility.

Ever since Han Dong had left, Eugene, carrying a Stone Spear, had been facing a wall the entire time.

Contemplating.

Moreover, his contemplation began the moment he met Han Dong in London City.

He sifted through every single one of Han Dong’s expressions, actions, language, and other characteristics, combining them with the decisions Han Dong made at different times, his methods of handling affairs, and his related powers for a comprehensive analysis.

Eugene intended to set aside the preconceived notions he had formed in his mind about Han Dong and ‘model’ the man anew.

The sheer volume of data extracted was so immense that even Eugene’s brain took a full thirty hours to ponder.

“You completely underestimated Nicholas.

Among those I’ve seen, your ‘action efficiency’ is the highest.

For a typical Demon, over 90% of their ‘actions’ in daily life are useless… whereas among the ten Elements, my action efficiency can reach 40-70%.

Every single one of your actions lays the groundwork for the next, with an efficiency reaching roughly 80%.

From the beginning, what you were really interested in wasn’t just the intelligence on the Prison World… but also the Elder Race on the brink of extinction at the Antarctic Relics?

You guessed early on that I would target you, so you used the plan to obtain the Elder Race?

However, the risks of this plan go without saying, during which you nearly died… indeed, you possess the same attribute of madness as Green.

Hahaha… I can’t believe I was outplayed! Hahaha~”

Eugene, leaning on the wall with one hand, let out a loud laugh filled with mixed emotions.

All things considered.

His three attempts to capture Han Dong, moreover in Eugene’s homeland controlled by the master of the Black Flesh Mountain, had all ended in absolute failure despite having the overwhelming advantage.

It was a complete defeat, one Eugene had never experienced so acutely before… it surpassed even his failures in the Element Game.

However, compared to his previous anger and impatience after a failure, Eugene was unusually calm this time and even a wicked smile emerged at the corners of his mouth.

“Master, the stability research of the ‘Shell’ is also nearing completion… we can start sending some Shoggoths to ‘Fate Space’ soon. Once an individual survives and emerges, I will take a group in there.

Additionally, start renovating the Flesh Mountain, throwing away all the non-compliant stuff.

This time, the oversight was mine.”

As Eugene spoke these words in a calm and composed state, the master embedded on the Stone Column’s surface expressed some surprise.

Given what he knew about Eugene, the latter would normally vent through large-scale slaughter… this was the first time the master had seen such behavior.

“Eugene’s [Disguise] is as terrifying as that of the Gray Old King.

Having gone through this possession incident, he will surely regard you as a deadly enemy.

Don’t treat him as a container anymore, but as a rival you must kill.

One and a half years later, at the continuation of the London Game, will be your best chance to kill him… dying a tragic death amidst the chaos and with just a little cover-up, no one will suspect you.

If you don’t deal with him quickly, it’s going to be troublesome once he truly grows.”

“Mm, I’ve stopped considering him as a container already. Next time, I will take all factors into account and eliminate him with absolute murderous intent.”

The brand of a great defeat was deeply seared into Eugene’s heart, causing a significant shift in his mentality… a certain malevolence was accumulating.

…

Elsewhere.

Under the leadership of General Jike.

The group had already arrived at the coast of Antarctica, where the Coral Ship was anchored.

This time, the mission to rescue Han Dong was not initiated by Mr. Jike voluntarily, but it came from an order of a higher authority… Therefore, all that was needed was to take Han Dong out of Antarctica, regardless of the outcome.

“Since I’ve brought you out, I’ve fulfilled the mission given by the Father God.”

The term “Father God.”

Han Dong guessed it was probably a reference to an Upper Old King deep in the sea.

Standing on the shoreline, Han Dong immediately expressed his gratitude to General Jike and the other deep sea beings, “I am truly grateful. If Nicole’s call for rescue hadn’t been answered, I would have been stuck in a Meat Mountain forever.”

“There’s no need for thanks, we are simply following orders.

Besides, we’ve long been disgusted by those green bugs… Part of this sea area belongs to the Antarctic domain, and every year, quite a few Fishmen disappear, most likely because of those bugs.

It’s just a shame I haven’t been able to find evidence.

Anyway, as you’re also a Deep Sea Envoy, would you like to accompany us to the ocean depths?”

“Well… could I ask for General Jike’s help? I used Shoggoth’s Portal to rush to Antarctica, and without Eugenes to guide me, I still don’t know the way back to London City.

I have urgent matters to deal with. Could I possibly use the deep sea Portal?”

From Han Dong’s perspective, the deep sea controlled by the Upper Old Kings certainly had numerous spatial transportation devices.

“You’re an Envoy, and you have that right… Come with me.

But it seems you don’t have many attributes related to the ocean. Do you need one of our people to take you on a dive?”

“That won’t be necessary, Nicole, come back.”

With Nicole’s return,

Han Dong immediately initiated a deep imitation, and eight grey tentacles glittering with stardust sprang violently from the torn section of his back, granting him the ability to breathe underwater.

“Disguise… No, it’s a kind of high-level imitation.”

General Jike didn’t show much of an expression change, but in fact, he had many questions and curiosities… It was just that it wasn’t proper for someone of his status to inquire too much of Han Dong, a junior.

For example, he couldn’t comprehend how Han Dong, who only exuded the aura of a Mature Body, could directly compete with The Fifth Element – Eugenes.

Furthermore, he couldn’t understand how Han Dong had managed to survive more than twenty days alone in the Black Flesh Mountain, the lair of Shoggoth.

However, General Jike did know one significant piece of information about Han Dong, which had recently spread widely across the Demon circle.

The one who won the ultimate victory in the London Game was none other than Han Dong!

And the other winner was the renowned First Element.

“Just a thousand meters down, we’ll reach a small deep-sea town with the underwater Portal you need, which goes directly to the west coast of England.

I have a question that I’m very curious about.”

“Please, General Jike.”

“You knew that the journey to Antarctica was filled with danger, yet you resolutely followed the bait thrown by Eugenes to the Black Flesh Mountain. Aside from some obvious purposes… in reality, you were there to take away the Elder Race, weren’t you?

You must have some direct interest in ancient technology, right?”

Hearing this, Han Dong hastily waved his hands in denial,

“No! I really didn’t! I truly fell for the bait thrown by Eugenes.

As for the Elder Race, the rumors say they went extinct in ancient times.

It’s such a pity to think that the few surviving Elders were confined to a Meat Mountain, serving Shoggoth.

I just took the opportunity to bring out a part of them to maximize their value.”

“Hmm… I look forward to your future performance.”
