Chapter 1860: Chapter 1857: True Body
The “Black Figure” brought a sense of negativity that allowed Han Dong to sleep exceptionally soundly.
Eugene, who was almost disintegrated into rotten flesh, was thrown into the spaceship’s life-support chamber for nurturing and repair.
Only the Pope remained in relatively good condition.
The Swollen Doctor, responsible for controlling the planet, asked, “Mr. Pope, where are we headed now? Should we continue delving into the Shattered Dimension?”
“No… let’s retreat back to the main world first.
I’m not sure if the other party has marked us with some special means. Since we have already gained something, let’s go back and regroup, and also report the encounter to our teacher.
If Nicholas still wants to find other remnant pages, we can enter from another rift and it won’t take too long.”
“Okay.”
The “Dyed Black” also somewhat affected Pope,
whose starlit head vaguely revealed a drop of ink. Although it had no substantial effect, it still brought some negative thoughts.
“Mr. Pope, why don’t you take a nap? I’ll handle the return journey.”
“…Alright, I’ll rest a bit.”
Just as Pope was preparing to take a short nap,
a strange feeling suddenly came, making him quickly focus his gaze on the sleeping Han Dong.
A black whirlpool-like spatial opening, visible to the naked eye, appeared on his abdomen, and the “Truth Demon Sword,” sheathed with tentacles, actually drilled out on its own while Han Dong slept.
“I have to wake the Lord!”
Just as the doctor was about to merge into Han Dong’s brain to wake him up,
a force of spatial energy restrained him.
“Don’t rush,
waking Nicholas might ‘affect’ or even ruin this opportunity… Let the demon sword evolve on its own first, and if any uncontrollable situation arises, we can then consider waking Nicholas.”
“Alright…”
The Swollen Doctor chose to heed Pope’s advice, after all, his knowledge was far more extensive.
The demon sword that came out from the black whirlpool hovered straight in the air.
As a “sword-like magical tool,” the demon sword had followed Han Dong on numerous battles, continuously absorbing the energy needed for ‘growth’ from Han Dong’s main body.
The Truth Demon Sword was much like a highly picky gourmet; if fed the same food over a prolonged period, it would quickly become tired of it, which was why previous owners in the Black Tower failed to control it.
Unlike the former owners within the Black Tower,
Han Dong’s body always possessed distinctly different ‘energies,’ of various attributes and all of high quality.
It had already absorbed three kinds of Borrowing God energies, including “Baron Sabbath,” “Night Roar,” and this time, the “Black Figure.”
Moreover,
With Han Dong using it multiple times, its [Recognition Level] was also increasing.
When it severed an arm of the King head-on this time, the demon sword’s [Recognition Level] for Han Dong skyrocketed, giving the sword body a sense of satisfaction with ‘slaying a king.’
It had surpassed its “Embryo” stage and was transforming into a brand-new phase.
Once the growth is complete, new traits, abilities, or skills will develop.
Something surfaced from the fluid sword surface.
It resembled a type of thorny plant, or black blood vessels.
These strip-like items were not part of the demon sword’s form but were directed towards Han Dong’s forehead, seemingly attempting to penetrate the brain.
Seeing this, the Swollen Doctor broke out in a cold sweat.
Pope reminded him again, “Don’t be alarmed. Growth-type weapons like these need contact with the main body during significant evolutionary changes… I’ll stop it the moment there’s any problem.”
The strip-like items drilled into Han Dong’s head, penetrating the consciousness space.
As Pope mentioned, it would undergo significant evolutionary changes based on Han Dong’s subconscious… since the demon sword was actively consulting Han Dong, this indicated it had largely acknowledged him as its owner.
Suddenly.
The “Real Demon Eye” in Han Dong’s brow opened abruptly, staring fixedly at the demon sword suspended in the air.
The strip-like items that drilled into the brain adhered to the Demon Eye, absorbing energy from the eyes…
It was visible to the naked eye, the Demon Eye was gradually shrinking and falling into weakness during this process.
When the shrunken and weary Real Demon Eye closed between the brows,
an eye appeared on the surface of the demon sword.
“Hm… it can even transform and replicate the effects from the ‘Book of Dead Spirit’?”
Upon witnessing this, even Pope felt a twinge of envy, and some greed surfaced in his heart… albeit quickly suppressed.
Next.
Centered around this eyeball, the Truth Demon Sword began to construct an entirely new physical form.
A new form more inclined towards Han Dong, the main body,
surpassing the embryo and entering the next phase.
…
Time elapsed unknowingly.
When Han Dong awoke, the negative emotions in his head had mostly dissipated.
“Hm? Have we already returned to the main universe?”
Pope said calmly:
“However, the teacher is currently not in the void space, probably overseeing the ‘Pointed Cap Conference,’ discussing potential cooperation with the Black Tower… let’s wait here.
By the way, some changes occurred while you were asleep, you must feel it?”
“Changes happened? Hm… why is my eye withered?”
Han Dong immediately noticed the Demon Eye was in a dormant state, unable to even perform the basic function of opening.
Yet, on examining his internal condition, he immediately detected an unusual change emanating from within.
Buzz!
Han Dong immediately ventured into the [Prison World] inside the Faceless Skull.
The modification projects there had just been completed. Two engineers borrowed from the Ladybug Foundation were about to brief Han Dong on the renovations within the Prison World.
“Wait a moment, gentlemen. I have something to handle! I’ll be right back.”
He promptly took the elevator down to the underground experimental zone.
The doctor stood tensely at the door of a deep-layer laboratory, or more accurately, an isolation chamber for containing special experimental subjects.
“Lord, it returned to the Prison World after its transformation was complete.
Considering the potent danger it emanated, potentially damaging the newly modified world, I guided it here… temporarily sealed.”
“Did this happen while I was asleep? Why didn’t you wake me?”
“It was Mr. Pope’s request; he said waking you might influence this opportunity.”
“Alright, open the gate.”
The doctor quickly plunged his hand into a semi-open brain, extracting a morphable key made of mixed brainstem and bone.
As the door, crafted with the most advanced biological materials, slowly opened,
a gaze of scrutiny emanated from inside,
“This gaze… is it the Demon Eye?”
As Han Dong stepped inside,
a specially-shaped demon sword, retaining some embryonic features, stood embedded in the ground, seemingly waiting for Han Dong to pull it out.
1. [Sword Body]
Transformed from the “fluid state,” into an “entity” sword body composed of black blood vessels, with cosmic fluid still flowing between the vessels.
In the middle of the black blood vessels, a “single eye” similar to a Demon Eye was opened, but upon closer inspection, it differed from the Demon Eye.
2. [Sword Handle]
This change was even more dramatic, transforming directly into a stone structure exuding a dense aura of death, resembling a “Gray Tombstone.”
The surface engraved with the initials V.N.
Such a ‘tombstone hilt’ suited left-hand wielding best, unleashing unimaginable power.
As Han Dong restrained his excitement and grasped the demon sword, a prompt sounded:
The “Trandis’s Lost Demon Sword,” eraser of truth, has advanced to [True Body], altering all attributes and its recognition level of the main body. Please review.
