Chapter 562: What Gives You the Right

Cockroach paused. He was already holding a syringe with his left hand, which was filled with holy water Xing Kong left him, and he was going to give himself a shot. To his surprise, the pretty woman actually agreed to be his toy.

It was the first time someone ever volunteered to play with him.

“Yay! Great!”

Instead of injecting himself with the syringe, Cockroach ran up to Vermilion Bird and grabbed her hand.

Vermilion Bird tamped down her disgust. Thank God she put on gloves to go with her scarf today.

“Haha, hahaha...”

Cockroach held onto Vermilion Bird’s hand and was about to crush her fingers, but then a strange feeling hit him. He sensed his energy surge and scream suddenly; his heart was pounding, and all the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

“What...what’s going on...” Cockroach didn’t understand what was happening to him.

“Play with yourself.”

Vermilion Bird’s smile dropped. She took off her gloves and cast them aside, turning on her heels without even giving him another look.

And she was smart to do that. What happened next was vomit-inducing.

Vermilion Bird had buffed his Cockroach by three times with her Equivalent Exchange.

Due to his long-term dependence on holy water, not only had his intelligence suffered, he also had poor control over his energy, and it went wild completely. His Cockroach overreacted, his regenerative power going berserk.

As a result, his cells multiplied at unnatural speed, and his blood and flesh gurgled as they grew. Like a balloon, he increased in size at observable speed, turning into a large ball of flesh more than three meters in diameter in less than ten seconds.

“No, don’t...don’t...”

He slowly lost his ability to speak, his head drowned by his overgrowing flesh.

Pop, pop.

Once his growth exceeded the limit of his body, his skin and flesh started to burst, splattering disgusting blood. Then the parts where the flesh burst open started overly regenerating again.

Tissues grew, burst, and then regenerated. The three processes continued to repeat.

In the end, Cockroach turned into a pile of rotten flesh and blood, which was still writhing and rolling, bursting and sticking back together. The sight could give one nightmare after a single glance.

Madam Wu stared blankly at his teammate.

She couldn’t wrap her mind around what had happened even after Vermilion Bird went back to Qilin’s side. She felt her blood cool, and what little hope she had in her heart evaporated. She could guess that Xing Kong and Blood Amber had very likely been killed.

Edmond, the Godbearer Cult lied to us!

The awakeners with the top twelve Talents are too powerful. They are in another league of their own compared to vermin like us.

Even if we can surpass level 4 with holy water and even reach level 7, we’re unlikely to defeat them, aren’t we?

“Where’s Su Xi? And what’s your goal?” Qilin stared at her. He didn’t know where Su Xi was yet, and he didn’t want to waste any more time.

“Haha, hahaha...”

Madam Wu broke into laughter of despair. Only then did she realize how naive she had been. All this time, the Tails had been enduring and struggling, but it turned out their effort was nothing but a joke.

Nothing mattered to her anymore. She knew that to these three people, she was no better than a dirty rat.

Even so, I must bite you with the greatest malice!

“Ah!” Madam Wu screamed, rushing at Qilin with her hands transformed into Black Gold blades.

Regret flashed through Qilin’s eyes.

Clang!

Azure Dragon moved in front of Qilin and raised his left arm to block Madam Wu’s all-in attack. Madam Wu was taken aback.

He took my attack with his body? How physically strong must he be!

Azure Dragon had already balled his right hand into fist by his waist. Quickly pushing his strength into his hand, he made a punch at Madam Wu’s Black Gold chest.

That caught her off guard. She didn’t fly off her feet immediately, but a second later, when the hidden power of the punch hit belatedly, a shockwave rippled out from Madam Wu’s chest, and she shattered and scattered into Black Gold components.

Azure Dragon knew that he couldn’t simply destroy her Black Gold body no matter how powerful his punch was. That was why he injected all his power into Madam Wu’s body through the punch.

While she was made of Black Gold from head to toes, the joints were connected with high-quality fiber to ensure that she could maintain the flexibility and agility of a human body, which were exactly what Azure Dragon aimed to destroy with his attack.

Now that Madam Wu had been disassembled into dozens of pieces of metal trash, her head flew high like a ball and landed in Cockroach’s still generating pile of flesh, about to get swallowed up by the writhing meat.

“No! No, I don’t want to die in this pile of rotten flesh...” Madam Wu’s head shouted in despair.

“I’m going to ask you one last time. Where’s Su Xi, and what do you want?” Qilin demanded coldly, holding her gaze.

His grace and composure made Madam Wu lose it completely. She even forgot about the humiliating death facing her and her fear.

What gives you the right? What entitles people like you to be strong and respected without working for it? Why are you standing at the top, while we can only wait for our erasure like some disgusting, pathetic mice? And even when facing death, we are subject to such a humiliating method of interrogation.

Why?!!

She crushed the holy water hidden in her molar.

Gurgle. Plop.

Her two Black Gold eyes fell from her eye sockets. Then a small amount of black blood flowed out.

Black energy rippled from her head, turning into black sigils that resembled earthworms and spreading across the repulsive mountain of flesh.

Under the power of the black sigils, the writhing flesh stopped regenerating, but instead started to twist and change shapes, reassembling like a devil was molding a hellish fiend with the most malicious imagination.

Ten seconds later, a hideous abomination of flesh and blood emerged, standing taller than four meters and burning with black flames.

It didn’t have a proper head, and on its chest were Madam Wu’s Black Gold skull and No.10’s fleshy head, stuck together like a pair of malformed conjoined twins.

“Human! Human, human, human...” Madam Wu had turned into a monstrosity completely.

“Toys! You’re all my toys...” No. 10, on the other hand, still retained what little intelligence he had. It was his first time being the smarter one compared to his teammate.

“Leave it to me.” Azure Dragon took a step forward, about to make a serious punch after imbuing his fist with his strength.

Qilin stopped him. “Allow me.”

If Azure Dragon made the punch, he would end up giving the mountain a trim in the middle, making the fire spread further. Then the fire fighting duo of Six Rime and Heavenly Dog would exhaust themselves to the point of tears.

“Understood.” Azure Dragon stepped back.
