Chapter 1898: Grimace Attacks
On the 21st morning, another powerhouse from the Sword Alliance arrived.
It was Grimace who came over this time.
To be exact, it was Grimace’s clone.
“It’s quite lively here.” Grimace looked around when he arrived. He then looked at Bai while smiling. “You came earlier than I thought. I thought I’d be the first one.”
Bai merely glanced at him. He did not bother to respond to him.
Grimace gave up chatting when he saw that. He turned around and looked toward where the ootheca was.
“So that’s the ootheca? It doesn’t look special.”
“It bred 512 Abyssal Dominators that had mastered a billion chaotic cosmoses each yesterday at midnight,” Bai, who was standing to the side, said expressionlessly.
“Really? I thought the breeding rule was rather exaggerated.” Clearly, Grimace had heard of this ootheca’s breeding rule before coming here.
“Did anyone try to destroy it directly?” Grimace asked further after falling silent for a moment while holding his chin.
“A dominator-level rank-2 powerhouse and dominator-level rank-4 powerhouse tried, and they were killed by this thing.” It was Sword 3 who spoke up this time.
He witnessed the scene 20 days ago.
“No dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse tried their hand at it?” Grimace seemed to want to give it a try.
“Since those two Dominators were killed, n.o.body had tried it again.” Sword 3 shook his head.
Bai, who was standing to the side, frowned. “Master asked us not to expose our real abilities as much as possible.”
“Alright then.” Grimace could only give up after hearing Bai mention Lin Huang. “I should just watch obediently then.”
Grimace took out a deck chair from his Kingdom as soon as he was done speaking and lay down on it directly.
He even changed into beach vacation clothes, while putting on sungla.s.ses and earplugs. He slept right then and there before everyone’s eyes.
What he did made the people watching from the other organizations dumbfounded.
“Is this guy here for a vacation?”
“How can he sleep at such a time?”
“The guy the Sword Alliance sent over this time doesn’t look too reliable.”
Meanwhile, Dragon Emperor could not help but laugh. “There’s such an interesting guy in the Sword Alliance?!”
On the Sword Alliance’s side, Bai and the rest were aware of Grimace’s behavioral tendencies. Seeing him doing that, they did not bother to stop him.
That was the one tiny event that happened during the day, and it remained peaceful until midnight, when black fog once again appeared on the ootheca.
A moment later, an Abyssal Dominator was spat out again.
As expected, the ootheca bred an Abyssal monster that had mastered ten billion chaotic cosmoses this time.
This monster did not conceal its aura at all. It was so powerful that Lin Xin and Lin Xuan felt suffocated.
Fortunately, this terrifying feeling of suffocation only lasted for a second before it faded away suddenly.
The Sword Palace’s palace master attacked again with a cold expression on his face. He crushed its head directly with a swing of his sword.
The appearance of this monster confirmed that what Nyarlathotep said was not a lie.
This made everyone present feel even more concerned now.
On the third round of breeding, an Abyssal Dominator that had mastered ten billion chaotic cosmoses had appeared.
In the fourth and fifth rounds, there would be Abyssal Dominators that mastered 100 billion chaotic cosmoses, and even a trillion chaotic cosmoses arriving.
The Sword Palace’s palace master looked even grimmer as he thought of that.
He had only mastered over 900 billion chaotic cosmoses. It was not that he did not want to integrate more, but his Kingdom had reached its limit.
It would mean that as soon as the ootheca started breeding the fifth round’s monsters, even he would lose the eligibility to partic.i.p.ate in the upcoming battle.
The people in the Sword Alliance’s camp looked terrible too.
Bai still remembered Lin Huang’s order clearly—He would stall as much as he could!
However, he was not too sure now whether it was actually the correct move to allow this ootheca to breed Abyssal Dominators as it wished.
Grimace, who was laying on the nearby deck chair, remained asleep, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him at all.
The 22nd day soon pa.s.sed by peacefully.
At midnight, as usual, the ootheca followed its rule and bred two Abyssal monsters that had mastered 10 billion chaotic cosmoses.
It was still the Sword Palace’s palace master who attacked this time. He killed them both instantly.
The 23rd day and 24th day pa.s.sed by…
The Sword Palace’s palace master attacked over and over again, while the rest did not bother to intervene.
Grimace had been lying on the deck chair, he had never gotten up even once. Apart from adjusting his sleeping posture occasionally, he did not do much. He never even opened his eyes.
Time flew by and, soon, it was the 30th day.
On that day, the number of Abyssal monsters the ootheca bred reached 512 again.
This time, before the Sword Palace’s palace master attacked, the Abyssal monsters’ heads began to explode out of nowhere.
Everyone was shocked when they saw that.
Even the Sword Palace’s palace master, Dragon Emperor, Xue Luo and the others could not help but look shocked.
They could tell that someone had used a G.o.d’s soul-type technique, but they did not know who attacked.
Only Bai looked at Grimace, who was still lying on the deck chair, with a frown.
When all of the carca.s.ses fell to the ground, Grimace sat up slowly and stretched himself.
“I had a dream. I dreamed that I crushed a batch of Abyssal monsters’ heads… That felt amazing!” Grimace yawned while speaking vaguely.
Everyone was stunned by what he said, but eventually came to a realization that the shocking scene was done by this “sleeping G.o.d”.
Seeing that n.o.body said anything, Grimace got up slowly and walked toward the ootheca. He stretched out his arm fearlessly and picked up the headless carca.s.ses one by one. He then tossed them into his Kingdom.
After he was done collecting all of the over 500 carca.s.ses, he seemed to be a little tired. He stretched himself again and lifted his head to look at the ootheca that was less than 100 meters away from him.
The spectators present could not help but reveal looks of excitement on their faces when they saw that.
The “sleeping G.o.d” before them had just proven his abilities.
Many people thought that he should be able to destroy this ootheca, as long as he was willing to.
Bai frowned when he saw that. “Don’t mess around!”
Grimace turned his head and grinned. “What are you thinking about? My back is aching. I just thought I’d stretch and rest.”
He turned around when he was done speaking and leapt back to the Sword Alliance’s camp in a single step.
“I only managed to sense that this thing is scarier than I expected when I was close to it,” Grimace said to Bai through voice transmission, “The amount of threat it poses should be enough to kill my Primordium.”
“You shouldn’t have exposed your ability so soon,” Bai said directly.
“But there were over 500 Kingdoms… It’d be too wasteful if I missed out on spoils like these.” Grimace looked like he did not care. “It doesn’t matter if I exposed my abilities anyway. Aren’t you guys around as well?”
Bai did not retort. In reality, he had been rather moved by the harvest.
However, he held back when he thought of Lin Huang’s order.
Grimace’s attack not only made most of the people present admire him, it gained him the attention of the Sword Palace’s palace master and the others.
The “weirdo” from before had become “so powerful” now!
