Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 997 830: Copy Zombie and Rubber Witch (3/5)
In the Holy Hall, in front of the white oak long table enveloped by a single shadow of light.
The new Pope, watching everyone leave, suddenly and silently turned his head towards the strands of Holy Light shining down from Nihility.
Within, a mass of Black Mud suddenly surged forth, condensing into a face covered with fleshy buds, dead and hollow, facing Chuck Mario Crisworth, who once performed as a Dancing Man, with handsome features.
The mouth of the Black Mud face curled into a strange arc, and a cold overlapping voice echoed within this holy place.
"Rest assured, your Master will not know of these deeds."
"Apart from the thorns themselves, no one knows that the 'Holy Blood' left by Light has been rejected by the thorns, returned to the original Holy Mountain... Moreover, you haven't erred, because that Holy Blood was sent back to the Thorny Kingdom by us... So, it remains a just, luminous war."
"Blood for blood, how righteous."
As the last words were spoken, mocking laughter resonated in the Holy Hall, and in Chuck's cold snarl filled with murderous intent, the face of Black Mud slowly disintegrated.
...
In the Dream Kingdom, Tang Qi, who had just sent away the Wise Man version "No. 5 Tang Qi," was now putting aside the "True Love Fable," watching two newly born Dream Favored within the kingdom's nodes.
These two were also the final successful vassals.
All other Dream Seeds had perished, and those vassals who failed their trials were returned to the Origin Star.
Ordinarily, with only two new vassals, the kingdom should be peaceful and serene at this moment.
But the truth was otherwise; noise was disturbing many nodes within the kingdom, as well as the Dream Creatures.
At the edge of the Forest of Ignorance, Stan Duplessi, Amanda, Tyrone, the Fairy, and others wore frozen expressions, watching the scene unraveling before them with broken faces.
No projection was needed because the node from which one of the newborn vassals emerged was located right within the Forest of Ignorance.
Numerous nodes within the kingdom, varying in power and possessing different dangers.
Yet, a few nodes were perilous enough to trouble even beings like Amanda, whose duty was to cleanse Pollution.
One such node was the Forest of Ignorance, wherein resided the inexhaustible "Obscure Corpses," where unless one had the power to suppress the corpses, no matter how strong, they would eventually be submerged by the sea of corpses.
As the Dream Kingdom continued to grow stronger, so too did the corpses, becoming increasingly dangerous within.
Amanda and others assumed that any vassal born within such a node should be stronger than those born in other nodes.
They might be right, but regardless, they struggled to associate the figure they saw — leading the "corpses" in a frenzied dance, performance, and exuberant rap of strange music — with the word "powerful."
Incredibly, this was indeed the spectacle transpiring within the Forest of Ignorance.
A swarm of disordered corpses followed commands obediently.
Clad in beast skins and leaves as always, their bodies twisted and disproportionately balanced, their parched skin sunken, noses collapsed, lips absent, with grayish-white sharp teeth slowly parting and scarlet tongues licking up to their foreheads.
And their "leader" looked strikingly different from the corpses.
He wore flamboyant and splendid "performance attire," leaping through the forest like blazing Flames.
Making no attempt to hide that he wasn't human.
His exposed skin bore distinct putrid spots, his face dry and sunken, punctured with several blood-filled holes, with one pallid eyeball protruding from its socket.
Yet none of this impeded him from leading the "corpses" in performance. Despite the chaotic dance steps and primitive instruments, there was an indescribably intense infectiousness that moved Amanda, Tyrone, and other Dream Creatures into action involuntarily.
Gradually, the rhythm unified, an unbelievably peculiar scene emerged:
All the corpses began to be "assimilated," becoming identical to their leader, one after another, replicating like a self-replicating virus, until the entire forest held only that one figure, albeit in astronomical numbers.
This horrifying sight left Amanda and others aghast.
Fortunately, the Pollution halted at the forest's edge.
Tang Qi likewise witnessed this scene. On the pages of the Book of Nothingness before him, more information unfolded.
"Paul Beethoven, a fledgling rapper, tainted by 'Zombie Virus' from an Exotic Realm due to misfortune, transformed into a wise zombie. Before being chosen, he planned to tie stones to himself and sink into the river, suppressing his urge to attack humans and consume flesh."
"He was chosen by a Dream Seed shaped like a 'little zombie.' Within the Forest of Ignorance node, he successfully infiltrated the corpse group and gained recognition from the Node Source Power, subsequently passing the trial."
"His power lies in self-replication; as long as his strength endures, he can infinitely replicate himself, contaminating other lives. By devouring fresh flesh, he acquires the abilities of the flesh's master..."
"He is nearly undying; as long as a single copy exists, or even a piece of corrupted flesh, he can resurrect through replication."
"He is immune to most Magic Attacks, especially Death Magic."
Gazing at the book's paused pages, Tang Qi showed some surprise.
The first non-human vassal!
Although Paul Beethoven was originally human, after being polluted, he became an actual Extraordinary Creature, and the creature called "Zombie" decidedly belongs to the Chaotic Camp.
Of course, none of this overshadowed the exceptionally bizarre style of this vassal.
"A zombie vassal capable of infinite self-replication, fond of rap performances?"
Muttering, Tang Qi looked again at the Forest of Ignorance.
About tens of thousands of zombies "Paul Beethoven" donned in exquisite performance attire danced to a unified rhythm and began rapping.
The orderly yet eerie scene evoked a word in Tang Qi's mind.
"鬼畜!"
Shaking his head, he dispelled the image.
Then Tang Qi turned to the final vassal.
"Hmm?"
Immediately, a hint of surprise appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.
The book pages before him reflected a newborn node named "Dark Rubber Kingdom."
The formation of this node has high correlation with Tang Qi himself; all creatures within the kingdom are highly destructive, reminiscent of the destructive rubber monsters Tang Qi once envisioned while concocting the Rubber Man Secret Medicine.
Large monsters unleashed black light, steam, and Flames, rampaging and slaughtering each other with no sense of reason, only bloodlust and slaughter, reducing any entering creature to rubble.
Not to mention the naive trialists, even if a Legendary Level Extraordinary Creature were thrown in, surviving would prove difficult.
But eventually, a Dream Favored emerged from here.
And it was another female.
The page held in stasis depicted a beautiful woman, entirely clad in a black rubber suit, possessing an incredibly alluring physique.
Intense black light, continuous searing steam, occasionally erupting explosive Flames... She seemed like a witch walking the Earth, seductive yet terrifying, intimidating the mass of monsters within the Rubber Kingdom.
She wore her black hair loose, with seductive, exquisitely beautiful features, and a charming tear mole beneath her eye corner.
If she appeared in the heart of Federal Eagle's Nest City's main avenue with her current image, even amid the accompanying catastrophic scene, she would still garner millions of frenzied worshippers.
