A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 388: Stone Child
CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 388: STONE CHILD
As the giant approached, the "Lament of the Giant King’s Court" parchment on Baiyu emitted a scorching and searing temperature once more.
The two had not yet made a move.
Bang!
A huge foot stepped into the ground.
Debris continued to fall from above the square, as if the earth was splitting and the sky was collapsing.
Yet.
Despite such severe attacks, the square did not shatter.
Instead, it emitted a hazy glow, spreading all around.
"The whispers I hear are getting more severe."
Shangguan Zi looked pale.
Behind her, the darkness of the Simulation Realm was constantly merging into her shadow, forming strips like cocoons, as if trying to envelop her body.
"What exactly is going on with you?"
Baiyu realized the Third Prince’s abnormality, too busy to deal with the giant’s attack.
Because the opponent.
Seemed to be about to mutate.
"There were problems with that Mystical Language. When I accidentally spoke it, I felt an unseen gaze observing, and whispers echoing in my ears.
I feel.
The existence pointed to by the Mystical Language has noticed me."
Shangguan Zi’s face turned pale, and the clinging darkness like glue constantly surged from all around.
She only felt countless touches wrapping around her body, everything in her sight starting to distort.
Twisted space, murmuring sounds.
Even Baiyu’s face had become a stretched and bent arc.
What appeared in her eyes.
Was a brand-new, bizarre world.
"Ugh..."
She coughed dryly, blood gushing madly from her seven orifices.
Even the cage lost its protective function.
"Damn, don’t mess with me, sis."
Baiyu’s face darkened, his shadow stretched long, and a black figure identical to him climbed up from the shadow, two black hands reached out towards Shangguan Zi.
"Don’t move, this is my True Martial Intent embodiment."
Seeing Shangguan Zi’s terrified expression, Baiyu said quite rudely.
The other party indeed calmed down.
The shadow attached itself to Shangguan Zi, its two arms grabbing at the darkness wrapping Shangguan Zi, tearing it to shreds.
She only felt her whole body relax, the pressure abruptly reduced.
Very crucial.
If it weren’t for Baiyu’s intervention, she felt she couldn’t hold on just now.
"No negative emotions, not in the traditional sense, where pollution triggers negative emotions in the human heart, followed by mutation."
Baiyu observed Shangguan Zi.
The other’s condition was very strange now.
Although she had reached the brink of mutation, there wasn’t any accumulated negative emotions in her heart.
Treating with purification was futile.
Above.
The giant seemed to still be destroying the ground.
But Ziyue couldn’t determine Baiyu’s position, could only maneuver the giant to attack randomly like gambling, while the square obviously had a well-protected spirit array.
Though it’s not clear what this place was originally for.
"No, those whispers are coming again."
Not long after.
Shangguan Zi cried out painfully again.
Baiyu furrowed his brow.
Just a moment of normalcy before the surrounding sticky darkness enveloped her again.
In the Simulation Realm.
Any anomalies could be magnified.
Moreover.
Baiyu could feel the suppressant medication he took rapidly depleting.
The effect that should last six hours might be gone in just a few more minutes.
By then he’ll face the pollution of the Simulation Realm directly.
"Troublesome..."
The current situation made Baiyu feel deeply vexed.
The shadow merely treated the symptoms but not the root.
"Help me... I can’t take it, I feel like something inside wants to burst out."
Shangguan Zi’s face turned white.
Not a feeling.
Baiyu could clearly see her abdomen already bulging, like a fetus.
At this critical moment.
He couldn’t think of much else.
Rip.
On Baiyu’s palm, left and right, two gaping black mouths cracked open, occupying the center of the palm.
Scarlet tongues stretched out, licking the edge of the palm.
"What is this..."
Shangguan Zi’s eyes trembled, suddenly realizing that Baiyu, whom she always knew so well, had changed in appearance.
Mysterious, eerie...
She seemed to be facing some unspeakable terrifying creatures.
"Don’t be scared, this is the aftereffect from my experience in the Simulation Realm, but it seems to have some positive effects."
Baiyu approached Shangguan Zi.
After experiencing multiple times of a mouth opening on his palm, Baiyu found that he could control this mutation.
Back then Cai said to him.
He and she were the same kind of person.
Both had body mutations, yet could still maintain sanity and normal humanity like monsters.
It seems.
Cai’s words weren’t wrong.
Baiyu not only could keep his sanity, but could also reasonably use this mutation.
"The Purple Cloud is here, Baiyu, send me to the Legendary Ship, I have a way to save myself!"
Shangguan Zi asked desperately with a pained expression.
Send to the Legendary Ship?
Not to mention the giant on the ground, just with Shangguan Zi’s current state, she was certain to die violently.
Her belly.
Initially slightly bulged, but now it was unmistakably swollen like a baby bump, not much different from a full-term pregnant woman.
Seeing Baiyu’s eyes, Shangguan Zi understood something.
She lowered her head.
Looking at her swollen abdomen, despair and collapse spread in her heart.
Boom!
Lights erupted from her body.
Spiritual fluctuations spread wildly.
All were magical items and spiritual technique scrolls.
Being the Third Prince of the East Prosperity Imperial, only she knew how many lifesaving measures she had on her.
Judging from the fact that she didn’t show the slightest fear facing the giants, only the sea giants posed any threat to her.
Yet.
The unstoppable Evil God’s Power posed a problem she couldn’t solve.
"If you trust me, don’t resist."
At this time.
Baiyu walked to Shangguan Zi’s side, opened the mouth on his palm, placing it on her swollen belly.
"Hurry, it’s coming out, I can feel it, if it is born, we’ll all die."
"If it fails, just kill me."
Shangguan Zi shouted painfully.
Wah...
At this moment.
A baby’s sharp cry suddenly came from her stomach.
The mouth in Baiyu’s palm seemed to bite onto a strange thing.
Through Shangguan Zi’s flesh and skin.
He had always known the two mouths on his palm from the mutation had the power to devour strange forces; back in the Silent Castle, Baiyu used them to escape.
Now.
He was gambling that Shangguan Zi’s belly was influenced by some mysterious force.
Clearly, he gambled right.
"Come on, let me see what exactly you are."
A sinister look flashed across Baiyu’s face.
Having survived great tribulations, why should he be afraid of some peculiar thing?
The mouth on Baiyu’s palm opened.
In Shangguan Zi’s agonizing cries, her abdomen split open a long wound, and a blood-soaked, infant-like stone was forcefully pulled out by Baiyu.
The instant the stone was pulled out, it issued a baby’s wail.
A massive pollution along with a sinister force surged toward Baiyu.
He could feel the resentment of the stone child, seemingly because he disrupted its birth!
