Chapter 907: Mutated black metal born from the heavenly punishment

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Earlier, when it still had the appearance of a stickman, the virtuous lamia had grabbed the two buddhist relics and pressed them against her face, merging with them and transforming them into two beautiful phoenix eyes.

Now, she had grabbed that small portion of the ball of liquid metal, and attached it to her chest… Was she planning to turn this portion of the ball of liquid metal into part of her chest as well?

But was that even possible?

Those two buddhist relics were inanimate objects, and were related to the power of virtue. Therefore, one could accept the fact that they had merged with her body.

But, this ball of liquid metal was very likely a portion of the clone of the ruler of the Netherworld, and even the nucleus in Song Shuhang’s Heart Aperture was unable to digest it. Could the virtuous lamia really merge with it?

Just as he was in deep thought, Song Shuhang discovered that something changed around the chest area of the virtuous lamia.

That ball of liquid metal really fused with her chest… but although it fused with her, it didn’t become one with her body.

Soon afterward, a large amount of ‘power of virtue’ poured inside the body of the virtuous lamia from the ball of liquid metal, just like it’d happened when she fused with those buddhist relics back then.

Still, the power of virtue she absorbed this time was different from the one she’d absorbed from the buddhist relics.

The power of virtue absorbed from the buddhist relics contained the wisdom and compa.s.sion of that senior monk, while the power of virtue absorbed from this small portion of the ball of liquid metal contained the power of prestige, order, and punishment.

If the power of virtue of that senior monk was like water, the one of the ball of liquid metal was like ice. Both were a type of ‘power of virtue’, but the way they manifested was completely different.

Around thirty breaths later, all the power of virtue inside that portion of the ball of liquid metal that the virtuous lamia had attached to her chest was sucked dry.

In the next moment, Song Shuhang saw the virtuous lamia open her mouth, with the ball of liquid metal quickly drilling out of it.

Song Shuhang was somewhat disappointed. From the looks of it, even the virtuous lamia had been unable to become one with the ball of liquid metal, and could only extract the power of virtue inside.

The volume of the ball of liquid metal was the same as before—it hadn’t changed.

Still, Song Shuhang, Venerable White, and Ye Si could see that that 10% portion of the ball of liquid metal had now lost some of its l.u.s.ter. It was clearly gloomier than before.

“All the power of virtue inside that thing was absorbed by your materialized lamia,” Venerable White said. Then, he sized up the lamia, and said, “Why is your materialized light of virtue this familiar? Doesn’t she look the same as that fairy maiden with the beauty mark we met in the Jade Lake Realm?”

Song Shuhang replied, “Yes, that’s her. I suspect my light of virtue ultimately a.s.sumed her appearance due to me accidentally ferrying her soul back then.”

“This sounds interesting.” Venerable White held his chin, and had a sudden impulse of studying soul ferrying techniques. Venerable White wanted to know if he, too, could materialize such an interesting light of virtue.

Anyway, once it had lost the protection of the power of virtue, rich aura of the Netherworld started to leak from the body of that ball of liquid metal. Soon afterward, an indistinct voice spread from the ball.

“Do you yearn for power?” The voice was emotionless, and it appeared the same as a sound recording.

Venerable White looked at Song Shuhang, and said, “Is it asking you?”

“Probably…” Song Shuhang said. “Does this metallic ball have intelligence?”

Venerable White shook his head. “I can’t tell for sure.”

At this time, that emotionless voice was transmitted from the ball of liquid metal again. “Do you… yearn for power?”

Ye Si said, “Why don’t we try to reply to its question?”

“I think it’s better to leave it alone. I feel that whether we reply yes or no, there will be some trick waiting for us. In addition, while faced with this question, I’m really tempted to reply with ‘I yearn for b.o.o.bs’,” Song Shuhang said.

This meme was really popular in China around that time. Therefore, when Song Shuhang heard the first half of the sentence, he couldn’t help but think of this reply.

Song Shuhang’s voice had hardly faded that the ball of liquid metal in front of them started to transform.

After a short moment, it transformed into a b.o.o.b of liquid metal, very lifelike.

“…” Song Shuhang.

“…” Venerable White.

“…” Ye Si.

Then, that emotionless voice echoed again. “Your wish came true. This is the b.o.o.b you were yearning for.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Was that thing trying to tell a joke?

“Let go of your thoughts and stretch out your hand, grab me. If you do so, you’ll obtain the b.o.o.b you yearn for. Become one with me, and you’ll obtain infinite b.o.o.bs!” the emotionless voice continued.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Ye Si laughed. “Ahahahaha~”

Venerable White said, “The ball of liquid metal is probably acting on instinct. The evil energy of the Netherworld has the innate ability to confuse humans and make them fall. Even if there is no one controlling it, it will automatically try to lure human cultivators.”

Song Shuhang said, “I think that very few people would get attracted by this degree of ‘enticement’.”

But right at this time, Ye Si suddenly said, “Eh? The ❮Writing of the Sage❯ reacted!”

The ❮Writing of the Sage❯ that hadn’t had any reaction while facing that ball of liquid metal earlier was now s.h.i.+ning brightly. Then, it started to flutter, and condensed a great deal of righteous energy that went to suppress the ball of liquid metal.

When the overwhelming righteousness suppressed that small portion of the ball of liquid metal, another change happened. The ball of liquid metal transformed into a sharp sword that slashed toward the righteousness that the ❮Writing of the Sage❯ had condensed.

Neither the ❮Writing of the Sage❯ nor the sword-shaped ball of liquid metal had any intelligence. They were acting based on their instincts.

Venerable White said, “I see. Earlier, the ball of liquid metal had the protection of a large amount of power of virtue, which caused the ❮Writing of the Sage❯ to neglect it. But after losing the protection of the power of virtue, it attracted the attention of the ❮Writing of the Sage❯, which then attacked it.”

However, it was impossible to suppress that ball of liquid metal just by relying on the ❮Writing of the Sage❯.

In the end, the sword-shaped metallic ball slowly got the upper hand, and the righteous energy that the ❮Writing of the Sage❯ had condensed weakened bit by bit.

They had to find a way to deal with that ball of liquid metal before the ❮Writing of the Sage❯ got defeated.

After a short moment, Song Shuhang’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Nucleus, is it possible to s.h.i.+ft that ball of liquid metal to the main world?”

He remembered that when that black metallic man removed the seal on its body and appeared in the main world, a power similar to the heavenly tribulation destroyed it.

Perhaps this ball of liquid metal would also attract the attention of that heavenly tribulation-like energy if it appeared in the main world now that it had lost the protection of the power of virtue?

The nucleus shook slightly, and in the next moment, that small portion of the ball of liquid metal disappeared from his Inner World.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Wait a moment! I only asked you if you could s.h.i.+ft it or not. I didn’t tell you to move it out!
