Chapter 1998: Chapter 1995: Farewell, Kite

Before entering the [Greasy Flesh Road] leading to Kite’s area, Han Dong glanced back with some unease, observing the state of the two Upper Beings.

Walter was standing outside the Source Pool, locking eyes with the Fiend Ancestor.

He wanted to say something through voice transmission but swallowed his words back.

Although it’s impossible to predict what might happen between them, the likelihood of a large-scale conflict is low… if a conflict between Upper Beings breaks out, this planet would undergo a massive upheaval, and the [banquet] would be destroyed.

From the recent conversation with the Fiend Ancestor, it was clear that It values [Kite] tremendously, even more seriously and passionately than most Terminal Masters treat their descendants.

It should not act to destroy the banquet.

As for Walter, he recently underwent a mental transformation in the Deep Sea, so he likely won’t act rashly.

The only thing Han Dong could do was silently pray,

redirecting his attention slowly onto himself and carefully inspecting the newly built ‘septic tank’ inside him.

He ensured that the doctors and engineers built at least five layers of isolation bands, fully sealing this chaotic Source Liquid within, preventing any leakage or contamination of the world.

Recalling the recent crazy act of sucking on his fingers, Han Dong felt a chill down his spine.

『If my body had failed to adapt and resist the essence of the Source Liquid’s [modification].

By now, I would be completely transformed into an Impurity… losing all the connections and foundation established within the Demon faction and the Black Tower.»

Whew! Truly…

Exhilarating!»

An extreme look of mad laughter appeared on Han Dong’s face, his upturned lips nearly reaching his earlobes, suppressing laughter so intensely that his entire head twitched with madness.

『Let’s go, to meet Kite.

Even though I haven’t been transformed into an [Impurity], with the introduction of the Source Liquid, I can basically accept this planet’s basic ecosystem and live for a long time without any issues.»

He crawled into the slippery flesh pathway, experiencing a sliding journey lasting over ten minutes.

Perhaps it’s an illusion, but this narrow, winding, and lengthy flesh pathway seemed similar to a certain human organ.

Plop!

Upon sliding out of the exit, he directly fell into a pool distinctly different from the Source Pool.

It wasn’t as thick, deadly, corrupted, and extremely filthy as the Source Pool.

Instead, it was a relatively clear, warm pool similar to a hot spring… yet it still had a bit of stink.

Han Dong felt no discomfort, but instead, he could warmly feel the “comfort” brought by the soaking.

The mild stimulus from the diluted liquid felt like little fish nibbling gently at dead skin all over the body, yet without tearing the skin.

Of course,

Han Dong wasn’t purely here for a bath; he was here to witness Kite’s king transformation.

However, neither on the pool surface nor underneath did he spot Kite’s shadow.

The dignified [Fiend Ancestor] naturally wouldn’t deceive Han Dong; surely, this is the ‘rest area’ post Kite’s king transformation, so the conclusion is only one.

The current ‘clear pool’ Han Dong occupies should be Kite or a part of Kite.

“Kite, are you here?”

With Han Dong’s call.

Glug glug~ Bubbles emerged on the pool surface, condensing into a head with gray-white hair.

The face full of stitched wounds carried a rather sickly appearance, but the eyes held a trace of happiness.

“Nicholas, why are you here!? This place is very dangerous; didn’t Dad do anything to you?”

“I’ve already met your dad, no issues for now.

This pool, is it your body? I can’t feel much chaotic substance, nor can I sense your presence.”

“Well~ My body is undergoing ‘purification’ post-king transformation.

The liquid in the pool is the ‘excrement’ produced after my body’s purification, so it’s relatively clear, clean, and retains some of my body temperature.

As for my actual body, it covers this underground space.”

“What!”

Kite’s reminder sparked a flash of electricity in Han Dong’s mind,

Recalling the downward slide just now, could it really have been an ‘intestinal slide’?

Just as Han Dong fell into thought,

The current underground fleshy space collapsed and solidified, wrapping the winding ‘intestine’ he had just slid through.

Finally condensing into a human form, it was precisely [Kite].

As Kite’s body coalesced and shrank into human form,

This underground space revealed its true appearance; below it was a quiet, dim underground space resembling some lost King’s Palace.

The pool filled with clear liquid was a component of the King’s Palace.

“Nicholas~ Really sorry, while purifying and feeling the changes in my body during sleep, I didn’t notice your arrival.”

Kite was still the same as before, well-behaved, dangerous, and rather unstable.

“It’s fine~ I thought you were soaking a bath here.”

Han Dong didn’t feel dirty,

For these extremely chaotic biological entities, ‘excrement’ is actually clean… Even if Han Dong is asked to soak again, he wouldn’t mind and even feel quite comfortable.

Han Dong also attempted to peek into Kite’s body structure.

Zzz!

A tearing sound of an interfering magnetic field resounded in his mind.

If he exerted the full power of the Demon Eye, it could enforce a peek… but it might impact or even harm Kite, and the Demon Eye itself would suffer backlash.

No need for this between friends,

To see clearly, just tell Kite; he would surely display the internal situation clearly.

On Kite’s surface, there seemed to be layers of flawless chaotic membranes, hard for any perception to penetrate, and causing reverse backlash.

“Your newly constructed, purified body really isn’t bad…”

Han Dong smiled, habitually placing his hand on Kite’s shoulder.

Just as the palm was about to touch the shoulder,

The black whirlpool in his abdomen suddenly sped up in rotation,

Han Dong’s hidden instincts sensed potential great danger; the current ‘shoulder pat’ could result in arm cripplement, and inflict Soul injury, leading to severe harm.

When the palm was only five centimeters from the shoulder,

Buzz!

A ripple spread from inside Han Dong’s body, pushing him back ten meters to avoid the patting behavior.

The Demon Eye also captured, due to the palm’s proximity just now, a magnetic flow phenomenon arose in the shoulder area.

Kite realized his issue, hurriedly explaining:

“Ah! Sorry… right now, I can’t fully control the [body], Nicholas you’d better avoid any direct contact with me.”

“Got it~ After your king transformation, you seem even more unstable.”

“Sigh… I didn’t want this, it’s really troublesome~ and seems to get harder to die. Thanks for coming all the way to see me, later Dad will arrange some banquet for me, let’s attend together.”

“Okay.

By the way, the place we are now seems like an ancient palace?”

“Yes, this is Dad’s earliest palace… Very few entities are allowed here.

I undergo physical purification here, with efficiency improved across all aspects, and remain unaffected.”

“Fiend Ancestor’s old palace? Didn’t expect such nearly normal architectural structures would exist, could it be…” Han Dong developed strange guesses, continuing to question Kite:

“There’s still some time before the banquet starts, why not take me to tour here, all the hidden secret rooms and passages, let me see them all~”

“Sure!”
