828 Repercussions (2/2)
Of course, it was no match for his own. This crude imitation was short of many miraculous functions.
In fact, energy was needed to enhance Orlando's abilities every time!
And where did the energy come from? It had to come from Fang Yuan!
In other words, Fang Yuan injected his own power into Orlando under the guise of a system where experience gains could result in an enhancement of power.
Of course, given his capacity now, it was a piece of cake for him to enhance a pirate's abilities.
More importantly, even after death, Orlando would be unable to get rid of his deep-seated imprint.
He could withdraw what he had given to Orlando at any crucial moment!
Obviously, poor Orlando was even more similar to a lab rat than Donald.
”Furthermore… the world will see him as a pain in the neck because he's received my external power. He'll probably be unlucky in the future… Orlando is doomed to live a life full of trouble and turmoil, and all kinds of danger will force him to rely on the power from the Pirate System, thereby forming a vicious cycle!”
To put it simply, since Fang Yuan was a powerful external being, the world would instinctively expel any of his imprints.
Donald was less affected because most of his abilities resulted from his own training. Even the ceremony drew power from inside the world.
But Fang Yuan injected power into Orlando directly, which was quite awful.
For instance, Orlando would definitely be obstructed when he rescued Old Single Eye. Even if he succeeded in the end, he would offend someone and cause a whole lot of new problems.
This was the evil of this world, and something a lab rat had to endure!
…
On the deserted island.
Donald crouched down at the top of a coconut tree. Gazing at the nearby beach, he could not help swallowing his saliva.
A giant green-haired turtle was resting there, its shell covered with moss and seaweed just like a green hill.
”Is this a joke?”
Having witnessed the sheer size of the giant turtle, Donald almost felt desperate. ”Even if it stays still for me to slash, I won't even be able to cut open its skin…”
However, where there was a will, there was a way. After observing it for a long time, he discovered something. ”This giant sea turtle is laying eggs!!!”
The magic of the ceremony only required sea monster blood, and it did not stipulate that the sea monster had to be an adult!
Furthermore, he could try using the egg white as well!
”My Lord… please bless me!”
Donald waited patiently, praying toward Fang Yuan every day.
Nevertheless, the giant turtle was also very patient. It stayed in the nest after laying its eggs and did not leave at all. Donald suspected that it would stay there until the little turtles were hatched.
A few months elapsed quickly.
Other than hunting and eating, Donald spent all his time staring at the giant green-haired turtle and listening to its movements.
Splash!
Finally, on a stormy night.
Wuthering winds blew in heavy rain.
Roaring waves surged upon the stormy seas, just like a dark hell.
A pair of eyes as bright as searchlights emerged from the deep ocean and stared at the giant turtle.
Splash!
With a splash, a monster covered with black scales crawled onto the beach.
It was like a giant crocodile that had eight short legs. Its huge mouth, which contained many sharp teeth inside, took up almost half of its body.
The two giant beasts confronted each other for a moment before suddenly slamming together ferociously.
Thump!
The violent sound rang out like an earthquake, making Donald exhilarated. ”Thank you for giving me this chance, my Lord!”
As soon as he saw the two giant beasts rolling into the sea in a fight, he directly ran toward the battlefield without any hesitation, his eyes bright like flames.
Without the giant turtle guarding the place, he quickly reached the giant eggs that were as tall as him.
Other than the eggs, there were giant scales, which looked just like many small shields, left on the nearby ground.
Some of the scales were bathed in crimson blood, appearing sinister in the glaring white light from the lightning.
”Sea monster blood!” Donald's eyes glistened. ”Praise the Lord!”
…
Since he had the sea monster blood, it was unnecessary to steal an egg and have the giant turtle hold a grudge against him.
After collecting sufficient blood, Donald immediately retreated into a well-hidden cave.
”Three demon algae, a seagull feather, boiled in seawater…”
All the other materials had been prepared and stored here.
A strange, foul smell was emanating from a crude clay pot.
Donald took off his worn-out clothes, dipped a sharpened wooden stick into clay pot containing the magic potion, and started to inscribe a few strange talismans on his arm.
After finishing all of this, he held up a scale, drinking and licking all the blood on it.
Suddenly, a strong current of heat gushed out, striking him into unconsciousness.
Morning.
”Haha… I made it!”
Donald woke up and felt exhilarated as he sensed the mystic power in his body, but was shocked when he saw his hair. ”My hair!”
He found a pond and observed himself for a while, only to admit in frustration that despite the success of the ceremony, there were repercussions—his blond hair had turned green…
