Chapter 1036 - Buy One Get One Free? (2/2)
Han Xiao thought about it and told the truth. “I plan to build a host that can contain you, to make you fight for me. If that doesn’t work, maybe I’ll find a new owner for you.”
“As expected.” The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy, however, was not angry about it. “I’ve seen many Beyond Grade As. When I fused with you earlier, I found that you’re one of the few stronger ones even among Beyond Grade As. I’m powerless to resist, so I’ll let you do whatever to my body. Be gentle, ok? I don’t like it rough.”
Why did the way you said that sound kind of weird?
Han Xiao coughed and said with curiosity, “You’re going to become my puppet, so aren’t you angry?”
“My life is longer than you can imagine. I’ve experienced everything there is to experience. It’s not like you’re the first one to want to control me. You’re just another passerby in my life.” The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy’s tone was casual and carefree.
“… Didn’t expect you to be so open minded.”
Han Xiao’s mouth twitched, and he did not know how to describe this.
“If you’d lived as long as I, you’d know the feeling of loneliness. It’s the most horrifying feeling in the entire universe. Therefore, I hibernate most of the time. In fact, the experiences I have fighting alongside my owners are the more exciting and colorful memories.”
The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was very honest. As an ancient Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy that spent most of its time sleeping, he had no need to hide his real thoughts.
Han Xiao suddenly thought of what had happened to Evans not long ago and asked, “So, you actually are eager to find an owner?”
“During my hibernation, I let my sub-bodies find compatible candidates everywhere, and when the day comes that I’m interested in it, I’ll find an owner to start a new adventure.
Han Xiao’s cheeks twitched.
What’s going on with the world? Even Esper Abilities look for spare tires‽
Ptooey! Bad Esper Ability!
However, this explained what had happened to Evans—it was a story of a side chick becoming the main chick.
There are way too many things wrong with this…
“You’re so cooperative now, so why did you try to escape just now?”
“I like to be on the controlling side… but I can still enjoy being on the passive side,” the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy replied.
Han Xiao rolled his eyes. So, basically, it’s because you have no choice but to cooperate because…
He initially thought that the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy would resist and fight to its death, but to his surprise, the truth was so refreshing and novel.
However, it made sense when he thought about it. For an energy entity that had lived this long, few things probably mattered. It definitely resisted when it was caught the first time, but once one let that bottom line be crossed, one would start to fall into an endless abyss.
Han Xiao somewhat understood why the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was like this—it was ancient indeed, but without enough strength, how ancient it was did not matter.
As someone once said, ‘If you cannot fight it, enjoy it.’
As time passed on, the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy slowly developed this personality of not caring about anything.
This time, the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy actively started a new conversation and asked, “It’s been so long since I awakened. What’s the situation in the universe now? What major events have happened in the past years? Who are you? Tell me, tell me.”
“Since you’re so cooperative, I’ll tell you…” Han Xiao shook his head. Through the psychic link, he quickly transmitted tons of data to the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy.
The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy sensed the data joyfully. “Looks like while I was asleep, quite a number of big things have happened in the universe. I recall that when I fell asleep, the Beyond Grade As were not the ones existing now, and there were not this many of them.”
“So, how long did you sleep for?” Han Xiao asked.
“Hundreds of years? A thousand years? Sigh, why would I remember that? Time is meaningless to me.”
The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy sighed and said in a fond, reminiscent tone, “Before the birth of Beyond Grade As, us Primal Esper Ability Entities still existed. Not to toot my own horn, but think about it. In the era when individual powers had yet to reach the Beyond Grade A realm, we represented peak strength. Countless people yearned for our power… Our era only ended when Beyond Grade As appeared.”
Primal Esper Ability Entities were extremely ancient. They definitely had a glorious history in the distant past. They might even have been the ‘protagonists’ of some era.
This seemed to be a group of people with quite a lot of stories to tell.
Han Xiao suddenly thought of something. “Then, do you know where the other Primal Esper Ability Entities are?”
“So much time has passed. I lost track of where they went long ago…” This time, Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy paused. He then suddenly changed his tone, which became motivated and energetic. “However, I might know where one guy is. If you’re interested, I can help you capture him.”
“… Why are you suddenly so excited?” Han Xiao responded doubtfully. Could it be that you like to beat up your teammates too?
“Truthfully, that guy is my arch enemy. I’ve never liked him. We fought every day long ago, and countless owners died. If you’re interested, I’m very willing to help,” the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy said with anticipation.
Han Xiao was a little surprised to hear this.
Not only did he capture the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy, but he now got a surprise gift? Buy one get one free?
Damn, I didn’t even bring Feidin here!
Could it be that when Secret Master pitied me earlier, he secretly increased my luck?
Hmm, or maybe this is a scam.
Han Xiao caressed his chin and asked, “What’s its name?”
“Its name is Na… Oh, according to what you guys call it, it should be the Holy Light Particle.”
Holy Light Particle?
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled.
This was a familiar name too. In his previous life, it served the same host as the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy. It was Evans’ second Esper Ability.
As a crucial character in the EsGod storyline, Evans had quite a number of protagonist type opportunities. The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy wanted him to help it take back the part of its body that EsGod had taken away, so it helped Evans become stronger at all costs. It probably had told him about the Holy Light Particle like it did Han Xiao.
Evans, however, had a very unique body, which shockingly happened to be compatible with the Holy Light Particle too. The two Primal Esper Ability Entities somehow achieved an agreement, let go of their past beef, and decided to share their owner. At that time, Evans was the first ever owner of multiple Primal Esper Ability Entities in the history of the universe.
Speaking of which, the man was quite talented. Even though he could no longer be an owner, recruiting him into the army would increase the army’s luck.
“No problem, no number of Primal Esper Ability Entities is too many. Where’s the Holy Light Particle?” Han Xiao was interested.
“As far as I know, it stays in a secondary dimension over very long periods of time. It’s a world made of materialized light; everything is made of colorful light. Solid light looks like bright gems, and liquid light looks like thick and dense milk…”
The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy described the dimension with as much detail as possible, clearly showing his strong hostility to his arch enemy.
At the same time, a notification popped up on Han Xiao’s interface.
