The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 945: Huge Conspiracy

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Sheyan opened his mouth and was about to ask Aziz what the problem was, but the next instant, he received a series of notifications and immediately understood:

[You have killed the Descended Holy Body (Immature). Please choose one of the following rewards:]

[A: Draw a random piece of equipment. The type of equipment is completely random, while the grade of the equipment will be randomly selected between blue, black, silver storyline, dark green, light green, dark gold, and gold storyline.]

[B: Obtain a random amount of utility points. The amount will range from 1000 to 100,000 utility points.]

[C: Obtain a random amount of base attribute points. The amount will range from 1 to 30 points.]

[D: Obtain a random amount of achievement points. The amount will range from 1 to 30 points.]

[E: Draw a random piece of item. The grade of the item will be randomly selected between blue, black, silver storyline, dark green, light green, dark gold, and gold storyline.]

”There’s actually a chance to draw a gold storyline equipment or item!!” It’s hard to describe the shock Sheyan was feeling at the moment.

(TL note: Equipment grade order: white < light blue < dark blue < black < silver storyline < dark green (set equipment) / dark gold (a complete set of dark green equipment is comparable to dark gold) < light green (upgradable equipment) < gold storyline )

It must be noted that the base properties of light green equipments and items were probably not inferior to silver storyline equipments/items, and if their various requirements were met, they could slowly grow until they slightly surpass dark gold equipments/items in their final form.

Gold storyline equipments were top-class equipments with properties that far surpassed those of dark gold equipments. Only divine equipments could beat them!

So far, despite the help from Jinkuang, Sheyan had only ever obtained one light green equipment from the market! As for gold storyline equipments, he’d only ever heard of them and had never even seen one himself!

Sheyan was more shocked than surprised!

That’s because he deeply understood that gain was proportional to risk! They didn’t expend too much effort to kill this monster but had received such a generous reward, and it was only a monster that had yet to fully develop too! One could easily infer that if this monster had matured, it was likely to have extremely terrifying strength!

Sheyan shook his head and decided to put this thought aside for now. He would choose his reward first. After careful consideration, he decided that the probability of drawing a light green or gold storyline equipment was too small. He was not in urgent need of base attribute points either. So, Sheyan decided to raise his achievement points as a preparation to promote to Lieutenant Colonel.

He obtained 14 achievement points from the random draw. His luck was so-so; it was somewhere in the middle, not too bad and not too good. Meanwhile, Aziz got 21 achievement points! He was naturally extremely pleased.

Suddenly, the two of them heard another strange noise coming from the left. Aziz’s eyes lit up as he asked:

”Could there be another embryo like this one being bred next door?”

When Aziz thought of this, his greed flared up. He immediately stabbed his bayonet into the meat wall and asked Sheyan to insert Jones’ tail into the resulting wound.

However, Sheyan had this feeling that something was not right. Therefore, he first squatted down and dug a pit on the fleshy ground, then placed some genetical-extract mixes inside. He didn’t know whether he could grow a creature in this damn place, but it’s always better to be prepared.

However, the grown creature did not show any response for a long time. After waiting for a while, Sheyan and Aziz could only give up on it. They opened a tunnel into the room next to them. The things inside that room were pretty similar to the one they were in. The only difference was that the dark purple giant oocyst hanging in the middle of the room had actually been torn apart!

There was a huge opening on the side of the oocyst. The whole oocyst was wrinkled and dry like a wrung towel. All the liquid inside had been absorbed. On the fleshy red ground next to the oocyst scattered a lot of fresh bones with clear teeth marks on them!

When Sheyan and Aziz saw this, they immediately had an ominous thought - someone, or something, had been here one step ahead of them and had eaten the strange humanoid creature that hatched from the oocyst.

Aziz had a foul expression on his face - anyone would, seeing that a great opportunity that was right within their grasp had slipped away from them! He took a deep breath, then did some inspection. He then exclaimed furiously:

”This is where the thing had escaped from!”

The place that Aziz referred to was the ”umbilical cord” under the oocysts! After easily removing the rotted umbilical cord pile, he immediately found a meat tunnel leading diagonally downwards. Aziz and Sheyan slid down the channel without hesitation. They reached another incubation room, but unfortunately, it had just been looted as well. The oocyst was broken, with only the bones left.

”What the hell are they breeding here?!” Sheyan felt more shaken the further they gave chase!

An underground giant female reproductive system spanning several kilometers, oocysts that looked like male scrotums, and a womb which was divided into an inner and outer area. The outer area was eerie enough, but the six secret rooms in the inner area were actually breeding humanoid creatures that gave off a holy feeling. And as soon as these humanoid creatures were born, the first thing they did was to kill and eat each other!

Sheyan had not even heard of such things before, let alone seen anything like it! The more crucial point was that Sheyan did not think Jones was capable of something this big. He smelled a huge conspiracy behind all these! Furthermore, the scale of the conspiracy was terrifyingly huge!

Despite the ominous premonition in their hearts, Sheyan and Aziz were still relentless in their pursuit. After passing through four incubating rooms, they finally found the killer who was always eating the embryos a step ahead of them in the fifth incubating room!!!

He was a tall, muscular and handsome man.

There was a hint of melancholy in his deep eyes and he wore a priest’s scarlet robe that seemed to move with no wind. He had a very distinct air of holiness which was completely out of tune with the filthy and evil environment there!

But after looking at the man carefully, both Sheyan and Aziz drew in a sharp breath. They were shocked from the bottom of their hearts because upon closer scrutiny, they noticed that the man was completely naked! Where did his priest robe come from, then? It was grown from his own flesh! It may be difficult to tell from a distance, but it was quite obvious from close.

The man looked at them. His lips didn’t move but a voice rang in their minds:

”Are you two lowly sinners the heathens Togo was talking about? I, the Scarlet-Robed Cardinal, am willing to give lost lambs like you a chance to repent your sins. Prostrate yourselves and accept the purification of the Holy Light!”

Aziz narrowed his eyes and took two steps back. The Scarlet-Robed Cardinal didn’t have a strong air about him, nor did he give off a huge feeling of threat. He was just talking casually. However, Aziz knew that such people tend to belong to two extreme categories - they were either an empty-headed chatterbox, or an unfathomable enemy!

And based on the crazy fact that the Scarlet-Robed Cardinal had eaten a few embryos, his strength likely exceeded the imagination of the two.

At that instant, Sheyan felt the fighting desire in the ’Stairway of the Sun’. He suddenly blurted out:

”The most primitive light was derived from the deepest darkness. The brightest holiness was often born out of the filthiest darkness.”

The Scarlet-Robed Cardinal looked at Sheyan and praised him:

”You know quite a lot.”

But Aziz answered with a sneer instead:

”Holy my ass! He just ate all those undeveloped corpses. What’s the difference between him and zombies?”

The Scarlet-Robed Cardinal said indifferently:

”I am only collecting my own Holy Bodies! What do ants like you know? What is evil, and what is holy? My actions are holy, and actions that I do not approve of are evil!”

”Such big words,” laughed Aziz.

But Aziz’s next word died in his throat! With a wave of the Cardinal’s hand, a wall towering high into the sky (figuratively speaking) instantly appeared in front of him and fell down towards them!

The immense pressure brought about by its sheer size aside, the blazing holy flame covering the wall gave them a strong sense that their souls would be purified into ashes if they were burned by it!

Sheyan immediately protected his head without hesitation and took a half step back to shift into a defensive stance. Aziz, meanwhile, wasted no time in taking cover behind Sheyan. Even so, Aziz still felt as if he was hit by a level 12 wind. In front of such a vast force, he felt like a small boat in a hurricane that could only drift with the waves!

However, Sheyan noticed that when the cardinal swung his hand and revealed his armpit, there was visibly a large patch of skin missing, thus revealing the flesh and veins inside. It appeared that Sheyan and Aziz’s effort of killing one of the ”Holy Bodies” was not in vain, because it directly limited the power absorbed by the Cardinal and caused a loophole to appear in his defence.

When the wall collided with Sheyan, the white holy flame spread throughout his body but it was put out in an instant. At the same time, Sheyan had also succeeded in buying some time. A black air surrounded him, and he was going to infect the Cardinal with a disease!
