Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 462: Chapter 66 Demigod and Trade_1

About three minutes later, Lin Haifeng, who was leading, finally stopped at a room entrance.

”We’ve arrived.”

After speaking, Lin Haifeng immediately opened the door.

...

The room was not large, about a hundred square meters.

In the entire room, there was only one thing—a purple cylindrical container...

Before Wen Yu had a chance to take a close look, Lin Haifeng had already begun to explain, ”This is a cultivation tank.”

”A cultivation tank?”

Wen Yu raised an eyebrow.

”Something akin to a device used for cloning humans. Although it looks different, it performs the same function!”

”Only, this thing does more than just cultivate human clones!”

Lin Haifeng stared intently at the cultivation tank before him, explaining slowly in a low voice.

”When we first discovered this room, we didn’t pay much attention to this. After all, time was short, Eternal Sky City is vast, and there are many armories. Moreover, this thing was placed in such an inconspicuous location!”

”This room only came to the military’s attention after Tang Haofei activated the teleportation array formation and obtained information on some of Eternal Sky City’s forbidden and dangerous areas.”

”What’s before you is a taboo technology left behind by a world whose biotechnological civilization developed to an extreme degree. After being preserved by the Dominator, it was placed in Eternal Sky City.”

”This technology, translated, is called—Demigod!!!”

...

”The entire military district has a considerable number of armories, and the products they produce vary in strength.”

”And this cultivation tank before you, codenamed ’Demigod’, is definitely one of the most terrifying! Of course, it is currently only a semi-finished product.”

Having said that, Lin Haifeng walked straight to the front of the cultivation tank, gently caressing its outer shell. An unusual glint flickered in his eyes, though Wen Yu couldn’t see it.

”Our deal involves the Demigod!”

...

”This technology, codenamed ’Demigod’—that biotechnological civilization only ever constructed one set, and it’s disposable!”

”Let me briefly explain the function of this ’Demigod’ technology.”

Lin Haifeng briefly gathered his thoughts and then explained, word by word.

”This technology is about combining the genes of various creatures to cultivate a perfect super-creature, an ultimate Killing Machine!”

...

”From what you’re saying, it sounds like some kind of biological war beast, just a bit stronger, perhaps.”

As for the so-called gene combination, Wen Yu figured it would just result in some sort of chimeric monster. Even if all the advantageous traits from every creature on Earth were combined, it would still ultimately be a creature of flesh and blood, with finite limits to its power.

”No, no, no. The terror of the Demigod doesn’t lie in gene combination. It lies in skill recombination and growth potential.”

Seeing Wen Yu’s bewildered look, Lin Haifeng explained again.

”Its growth potential is straightforward. The Faceless you possess is an artificial creation. The completed Demigod grows similarly to Faceless and mutant beasts—they level up by absorbing the flesh, blood, and magic crystals of creatures. However, its method of acquiring skills is different. The Demigod can absorb a creature’s blood and directly extract its strongest skill for its own use. Plus, with the effects of gene combination, it’s like it comes with its own built-in Great Feast.”

Lin Haifeng paused for a moment, then directly told Wen Yu his plan.

”I plan to use the blood and genes from divine beast species to cultivate an ultimate Demigod. That way, the completed Demigod will be a supreme being, surpassing the species innate talent of divine beasts. Furthermore, its own species innate talent will become even stronger through a secondary gene combination! Moreover, the Demigod can automatically generate skills by absorbing blood and genes. This means the completed Demigod will be an ultimate monster, far surpassing divine beast species, and capable of possessing up to ten Esoteric Level skills at its peak!”

...

Lin Haifeng’s plan left Wen Yu utterly speechless. Briefly contemplating the maximum combat power the completed Demigod could achieve, goosebumps rose all over his skin...

Surpassing the species innate talent of divine beasts, capable of amplifying its physical attributes with flesh, blood, and magic crystals, and acquiring skills merely by consuming the blood of other creatures... coupled with the vast resources of the Earth Community, attaining ten Esoteric Level skills didn’t seem unimaginable...

In that scenario, even Tang Haofei might not be a match for the Demigod!

After a long pause, Wen Yu finally spoke, ”So, what exactly is our deal?”

”You should currently have two divine beasts in your possession. I need their blood. I’ll need more from the Night Daemon Smilodon because I plan on integrating the Netherworld into the Demigod’s body.”

”Hmm, and in return, I get that treasure land you showed me earlier, right?”

”Correct. For the blood of two divine beasts, the treasure land is yours.”

Wen Yu frowned, his mind racing through the calculations. After pondering for a while, he nodded.

”Deal!”

...

The blood of Star and Victor in exchange for a large treasure land—this was a very good deal!

He could refuse the trade, of course, but there were plenty of other divine beasts. Even without the Netherworld, they could find something like Hades. The Demigod’s activation was inevitable. The lack of one or two divine beasts wouldn’t significantly impact the Demigod’s ultimate power. In fact, Lin Haifeng was clearly offering him a favorable deal.
