In the quiet but long-unoccupied room, the moonlight shines through the half-covered curtains, and a pale man lies on the bed. Judging from his appearance, he should be recovering from a serious illness.

In fact, Krank, who is known as a noble prince, played piano music in the concert hall this morning to pass the boring time every day. In other words, he played piano music without an audience.

It is one of his few hobbies.

Just as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances. Krank, who was safe and sound yesterday morning, 'encountered' a famous doctor. The famous doctor saw that he was 'in ill health' and took him to a secret base to help him for free.

He cured the 'stubborn disease'.

Because there are so many details during this period, it is difficult to describe in just a few words what happened from yesterday morning to midnight today.

The private house where Krank is located is a very good place for cultivation. It is located in the southeast corner of the high-walled city. Because it is located within the "South of the City·Pulsating Area", the scenery here is good. Outside the window is a large farmland, and in the distance is

In the birch forest, because the rain has just stopped, the frogs in the ditch opposite are croaking non-stop, which makes it feel cool and comfortable at night in midsummer.

The breeze blew slowly into the window. Lying on the bed, Krank opened his eyes with trembling eyelids. His originally white eyes were now covered with black velvet. He was very weak when he just woke up and groaned in a low voice:

"Water~"

Krank swore that he had never been so weak in the previous 27 years of his life. This feeling of weakness that every cell shriveled due to lack of water made him even want to stick his head into the gutter outside the window and

The frogs inside compete for the precious fresh water that is not clean but still drinkable.

As if hearing Krank's weak call, the door was pushed open, and a young man wearing a long coat with a collar so high that it blocked his nose walked into the room. He was Su Xiao's newly selected space department subordinate, Xiu Si.

'Kill him and drink up his blood, and you will not be thirsty anymore.'

A voice suddenly appeared in Krank's mind. He relied on his strong willpower to suppress the hunger and thirst that threatened to engulf him, and instead sensed the source of the voice in his head.

Krank was very calm. He quickly realized that it was not some kind of consciousness that had invaded his mind, but a more direct creature... no, it should be a parasite, which had been sent into his body.

The sound of liquid surging appeared under Krank's body. The black mud-like semi-fluid seeped out from his back and turned into black tentacles as thick as a finger, lifting him up from the bed.

"Strange... parasite."

Krank, who had chapped lips and was skinny and skinny, opened his mouth. At first glance, it seemed that Black A had succeeded in symbiosis. In fact, the semi-liquid tentacles spreading out from Krank's back at this time were controlled by his consciousness.

A's power of consciousness has been trapped in his own consciousness space by Crank.

Although Black A is not easy to mess with, this time it was misled by its old friend, Aiqi. When it first parasitized Aiqi, Black A wanted to do something, and after a little bit of temptation, Aiqi was fooled.

Compared to the one that parasitized Edge before, the one that parasitized Crank this time was arranged at the beginning. People like Crank, who are indifferent to most emotions, have unimaginable willpower, coupled with a calm and almost cold-blooded judgment.

When encountering such a person, among the series of Devourers, Black A, Boiling Red, and Dark Sun are all useless. Only the fourth generation of Devourers and Sun Apostles can compete with Krank in terms of will.

This time I chose Black A, not to deceive the chosen one through Devourer, but to use it as a backup to use [Betrayer's Will] on people like Krank, and use [Eye of the World] from the three-piece set of the world.

, to fuse with both eyes, you must prepare a trump card that will not be excluded and is powerful enough.

This is the role of Black A. When Krank attempts to become an enemy of Su Xiao, the Black A in his body will burst out in a ferocious manner, killing him in a short time.

Of course, the purpose of implanting Black A is more than that. Black A has a growth potential that other generations of Devourers cannot match, especially the potential to map to the host. Looking at the original Aiqi, you can

See how clearly this growth potential is reflected.

To put it simply, it is to allow Krank to improve his strength faster. Su Xiao does not have a few years to wait for the other party to grow up slowly, not even a few months, but at most a few days.

At first glance, this seems a bit unbelievable, but don’t forget that Krank’s current strength growth buff is almost full.

In the room, Krank and Hughes looked at each other speechlessly. The former was too thirsty to speak, and the latter was unable to speak due to acquired reasons.

In the study room next door, Su Xiao closed the ancient book in her hand and looked at the projection that had just appeared on the wall in front of her. Krank woke up successfully, but there was one thing that Su Xiao could not figure out.

While Krank was anesthetized until he fainted, Su Xiao used [Betrayer's Will] on him. The awakening of the traitor's will was on the one hand, and more importantly, Krank was not dead, which meant that he was now the son of the world.

For some reason, after Krank became the Son of the World, there were no visions of heaven and earth, or the attention of this world and world consciousness, etc. It felt like this world had given relevant information to Krank becoming the Son of the World.

resources, but no favors were given.

This made Su Xiao feel strange, or in other words, the Dark Continent itself is a strange place. The land area here is so vast that it is unimaginable. Compared with the Star Biser or the Alliance Star, the land area here is hundreds of times larger, and the ocean is even larger.

It's because we haven't explored the edge yet.

The area of ​​​​the high-walled city is equivalent to two-thirds of the land area of ​​​​Sel. From this, you can imagine how grand and incredible it was when these high walls were built.

It is precisely because of this that the land resources within the high walls can feed tens of millions of people, and ordinary families in the city can eat meat every week as long as they are willing to work.

The Dark Continent is such a vast land area, and the wilderness outside the wall seems to be dead. Su Xiao stood on the high wall and looked far away. Within a few kilometers, there was not even a single tree, not even half-dead grass.

See.

From a certain perspective, the existence of refugees outside the wall is actually more dangerous than the wild beasts or wild beasts outside. Those refugees can no longer be regarded as civilized and intelligent creatures, they are just a group of intelligent humanoid beasts.

As for why there is such a big gap between the inside and outside of the high wall, this is unknown. Even Su Xiao, who is the deputy director of the treatment center, does not understand this. Perhaps only the two immortals in the Healing Church and Cathedral know.

There’s something hidden in it.

Generally speaking, the situation of the forces outside the wall is very simple. Refugees, wild beasts, and wild beasts. The refugees are mostly in the form of tribes, forming tribes of different sizes. There is no essential difference between wild beasts and wild beasts. Both are caused by excessive extraordinary power.

, and creatures brought about by multiple distortions.

Both have considerable intelligence. The beasts' point of view is that they are used to living outside the wall. Even if they are a little envious, they will not go inside the high wall. Some beast tribes use suffering as experience to hone their unparalleled abilities.

Pure and powerful.

Wild beasts are actually beasts, but they are distinguished because of their strong aggression and aggressiveness. Wild beasts always want to break into the high wall, kill all the humans here, and occupy the high wall city.

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair, holding a closed ancient book in his hand. His thumb stroked the slightly rough cover. He didn't particularly care about the situation outside the wall. What he cared more about was that Krank became the son of the world.

Afterwards, the world experienced fluctuations.

The only change was that a force of the world entered the body of Krank, who was in a coma. This force of the world combined with part of his blood to form the blood of destiny.

Regarding the Blood of Destiny, Su Xiao knew better. The Son of the World relied on consuming this thing to gain rapid strength improvement.

Su Xiao had acquired the Blood of Destiny, and after research, he found that he could not use it at all. It had an 'identification' property that was difficult to crack, and only the Son of the World himself could use it to accelerate the improvement of his strength.

Su Xiao had long ago given up on cracking this 'identification' feature. Researching this aspect was too time-consuming and out of proportion to the benefits gained.

Rather than studying the Blood of Destiny, Su Xiao is more willing to study its higher power of the world.

Su Xiaoyou, who has the power of time and space, has not yet obtained the power of the world. After learning about the characteristics of the power of the world in the previous world, his first thought was to use this strange energy to enhance the effect of the "Permanent Gain Potion".

Improve some physical potential that could not be improved in the past.

In terms of obtaining world power, the only known channel for obtaining world power is Krank. In other words, only after the other party becomes a relatively strong son of the world can a sufficient amount of world power be obtained.

In this regard, the effect of the world's three-piece set can be said to be the top priority.

"Eye of the World (Immortal Level·Suit·Fusion Equipment): This equipment will fuse with the user's eyeballs to form the Eye of the World. When the user's emotions fluctuate strongly, the Eye of the World will absorb the power of the world, thus

Improve the user's overall combat effectiveness."

"World Hunter (Immortal Level·Suit·Pendant): After killing people who affect the safety of the world, you can obtain a certain amount of world power.

Tip: The power of the world can improve the quality of the blood of destiny and serve as a superior gain-type energy."

"World Love (Immortal Level·Set·Ring): After wearing this ring, your luck attribute will be increased by 30% of your own charm attribute."

It seems impossible for Krank to become a stronger Son of the World in a short period of time. In fact, the success rate is not low. In order to get more power of the world, Su Xiao created a lot of changes for Krank.

Strong buff, the total is as follows:

1. With the help of alchemical biology, a preliminary complementary symbiosis was carried out on Krank's internal organs system. In human terms, it means that the body of Black A was integrated into Krank's organ system, greatly improving its digestion.

Strength, survivability, etc. Right now, even if Krank eats several kilograms of walnuts without shelling them, he won't feel any discomfort in his stomach.

2. The benefits of various permanent alchemical potions, commonly known as the Holy Flame Alchemy Potion Package. The last person to experience this package was the often forgotten You Youan.

3. The potential mapping of the symbiotic state of Devourer and Black A. In this aspect, it can greatly increase the speed of Krank's strength. The previous generation of host Aiqi has experienced it. After sleeping and waking up, he suddenly becomes a lot stronger.

I feel that because of this, Aiqi's friends have been secretly envious for a long time.

4. The identity of the Duke's eldest son. As the Duke's eldest son, one can imagine his status in the Steam Cult. The Duke is the leader of the Steam Cult. When his eldest son needs extraordinary resources, he will definitely get priority.

5. Identity as a son of the world.

6. The effects of World Hunter + World Eye are combined. The former can obtain the power of the world after killing the enemies of the world, while the latter can use the power of the world to bring about an all-round improvement in strength when there are strong mood swings.

At first glance, Krank, who is basically expressionless every day, does not have strong emotional fluctuations that can arouse the Eye of the World. In fact, this is not the case. Don’t forget [The Will of the Betrayer].

With the betrayer's will, he will have an unimaginable sense of pleasure when he betrays others.

Generally speaking, as long as the [World Hunter] he wears has the power of the world in it, his emotional fluctuations will be extremely strong after stabbing someone in the back, thus triggering the passive effect of [Eye of the World]

, that is to say, if Krank successfully stabs someone in the back once, he will become a lot stronger.

What's even more wonderful is that the maximum amount of world power that [World Hunter] can store will increase accordingly according to the wearer's own strength, and it will be a permanent increase. Currently, the total storage limit is only 1.5 to 2 ounces.

, exceeding this limit, even if there is more world power, there is no way to save it.

Su Xiao's goal this time is to let Krank increase the storage capacity of [World Hunter] to about 50 ounces and fill it with 50 ounces of world power.

Su Xiao estimated that if this happened, perhaps this would be his biggest gain in this world, rather than the origin-level treasure chest that has a probability of being obtained, but 99% of which cannot open origin-level items.

Generally speaking, with Krank's personal abilities and six layers of 'gain buffs', his strength will increase so quickly that it will definitely reach a staggering level.

In the next room, Krank, who was wearing a hospital gown, was still confronting Hugh Si. Both of them seemed calm, but in fact, they were not very calm inside.

As a space student, Hoshi's abilities are still somewhat mysterious. He is a refugee, and it is normal for him to have weird abilities. No one will go into this. The academy only needs to make sure that Hugh Si's character is okay.

The threat posed by capabilities will not be easily included in the risk assessment.

After all, the two immortals at the top of the Healing Church are both relatively old and mysterious beings.
