Chapter 999 - Chaos Caused by a “Simple” Egg (1/2)
”Alright then. If you are contented, one will promise to take good care of the egg,” Jiang Fei exclaimed, humbly.
”Thank you, Master Zhuge. If I am reborn successfully, I shall remember this deed and promise to repay your kindness,” said Beowulf, bowing as he did. To be honest, Beowulf was not all too convinced about Zhuge Shanzhen but he was the best candidate amongst the other Level 5 Metahuman.
It goes without saying that all Metahumans wanted the power of Level 5. If there was one that would not be swayed by the temptation of the egg, it would be Zhuge Shanzhen whos rumored to have many Level 5 disciples. Even so! Who's to say that all Zhuge Shanzhen's disciple had reached Level 5? Beowulf could not be sure if Zhuge Shanzhen would break his promise with him and feed the egg to one of his other disciples!
”Who long would this process take?” Jiang Fei asked. If Beowulf had only a few days left to live, Jiang Fei would be greatly troubled since he could not be standing beside him until he… lays the egg!
”It will only take a second. Please wait,” said Beowulf. He took a few ”air” steps back, creating distance between he and Jiang Fei before releasing a powerful surge of energy.
Being only Level 4, the powerful blast of Level 5 energy immediately disables Jiang Fei. Thankfully, Isabella was able to intercept that blast and help Jiang Fei to get back on his feet, preventing Jiang Fei from breaking his character.
There was a concept of power. The Conqueror's Power. One must need to awaken the Power of Conqueror from within in order to reach true Level 5. Isabella had that but not Beowulf nor Ariel. Hence, even though Beowulf was unleashing all the power that was within him, Isabella did not flinch.
Under Isabella's protection, Jiang Fei could feel the berserking energy circling and swimming around inside Beowulf. At the same time, his life force was being concentrated inside his chest.
Two minutes later, Jiang Fei could see Beowulf's body decomposing as if it was turning into dust. The skin on the bald man was withering away as if time was forcefully pushed through time.
”Urgh!”
With a loud groan, Beowulf vomited out an egg. It looked exactly like a regular AA sized chicken egg! That was his Rebirth Egg.
”Ewww! F*ck! If it was not preventing disaster, I would never touch that thing!” Jiang Fei thought whilst keeping a poker face.
To be honest, the egg was emitting a powerful fragrance that was pleasing. At the same time, there was a powerful energy that was being released from the egg. It was hard to explain. It was as if there was something that was luring him to the egg. A very peculiar scent. Not too strong but strong enough to spread far, far away. It was akin to a broadcast signal to let everyone in the world to know about the egg and tempt them to eat it!
As soon as the egg was out, Jiang Fei could feel many powerful surges of energy that was coming in from elsewhere. Without even needing to ask, Jiang Fei knew that those surges of energy belonged to other nearby Level 5 Metahumans.
It was uncanny. They were floating right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean yet the energy that the egg was giving off could spread out to cover almost half of the entire planet. It would not be odd to think that someone else had already picked up the scent.
”Sheesh! No wonder he wanted me to take care of it! This thing is literally a beacon!” Jiang Fei thought whilst sighing heavily.
”Master Zhuge, my life is in your hands now…” said Beowulf before bowing one last time. Jiang Fei could sense the life force in Beowulf was reaching its absolute limit.
”We will meet again in seven days!” said Jiang Fei.
”Indeed. If all goes well… Farewell, and take care.”
