Chapter 1076: The Power of “Worms” Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
The test site was at a valley down the Impassable Mountain Range.
It was surrounded by mountains and never before imprinted by the foot of man. With no access to public transit, it was quite difficult for people to reach this area unless with the help of an airplane or a tunnel. Therefore, this was the best place to conduct some secret projects.
Napalm weapons were by no means something of extreme secrecy, but there were some rare spectators.
“Ah… the air here is so refreshing. I can smell flowers and fresh soil,” said Celine as she emerged from the crack of rocks while swaying her tentacle. “It has been over 200 years since I saw the blue sky last time.”
Retnin shuddered. He looked at Roland, panic-striken and lost.
Everyone would be horrified by the sight of a giant blob monster coming out of the ground. If this was a disaster movie, the appearance of such a monster was definitely a turning point of the story where background music normally kicked in.
Not to mention that the giant monster could actually speak.
If one could still maintain his composure upon such a sight, Roland would think he was a competent official.
This was also why Roland had selected this valley as his test site.
“Don’t worry. They used to be human too, but the demons turned them into monsters,” Roland comforted the alchemist as he patted him on the shoulder. “They communicate through their minds, and that’s why you heard their voices. If you want to talk to them, just say it aloud or within yourself, like this…”
Roland turned to Celine and said, “It isn’t hard for an original carrier to take a look at the blue sky and clear water once in a while, is it?”
“That’s because Celine locks herself up all day in the research room,” said Pasha’s voice as she emerged from the earth. “The God’s Punishment Witches have been talking about their experience in the Dream World lately. There’s a specific word that describes her lifestyle. I remember you call a person like her a… shut-in?”
“I somehow remember there are two adjectives before that.” Alethea put in as she appeared with the Senior Demon.
“Do you really want me to say them?”
“Oh, not really…”
Roland raised his brows at Retnin and said, “See? They aren’t that scary, are they?”
“Y-Yes, you are right…” Retnin agreed quite reluctantly.
“They sacrificed their human bodies in exchange for a life of eternity. Their new bodies are highly resistant to heat and corrosion, which means they can directly touch many chemicals. Their tentacles are sensitive to different materials, which enables them to conduct multiple experiments at the same time. In other words, their bodies are perfect for chemical research. What do you think? Are you interested in working with them?” Roland asked with a shrug.
Retnin swallowed hard. After a long silence, he answered, “I… I’m fine, Your Majesty.”
Although Retnin declined Roland’s offer, he no longer avoided eye contact with the Senior Witches from Taquila. Instead, there was a bite of curiosity in his look.
Roland shook his head in amusement and walked to the demon binded by ropes.
Although the demon had lost its legs, Roland did not want to take chance.
This body used to belong to a God’s Punishment Warrior after all.
Roland crouched down, looked straight into the demon’s eyes and said, “You are Carb… Radaby, right?”
Without connecting to a person, the demon could not understand the human language even though it was currently in a human vessel. However, the overt hatred and animosity in the demon’s eyes seemed to have transcended the language barrier between them, so blatant that everyone knew what it was trying to convey.
Roland continued indifferently, “I prepared a firework display for you. You committed atrocities against the human population on the Land of Dawn and destroyed more than half of our kingdom. Now, it’s time for us to retaliate. Enjoy the show.”
He then nodded at Retnin and said, “Go ahead.”
