“However, I suggest you stop studying these demons and undead,” Linnaeus said.
"Why?" Jill asked, puzzled.
"It's impossible to obtain the power of demons without paying a price." Linnai had a portion of Carlos's memories in his mind, and he was well aware of the strength of the demon race.
Even during the height of the gods' power, the demon race had the ability to challenge them!
With humanity's current capabilities, attempting to do this would be a complete waste of effort.
Jill retorted defiantly, "Who says it's impossible? Don't underestimate me, let me tell you..."
"Even if you actually succeed in your research, aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by the demons?" Lin Nai interrupted him, saying in a low voice, "By breaking the contract restrictions of the demon's soul contract, you are not only seizing the demon's power but also completely devouring its soul. If you really complete this research, it will be equivalent to completely disrupting the balance of the rules. Do you think the demon race will let you go? Don't forget, they are not like gods. They are not extinct yet."
“…” Jill suddenly shuddered: “Well… anyway, the demon race was about to attack anyway, they were enemies to begin with, what's the point of being afraid…”
That being said, Lin Nai could tell from his muttering that he had chickened out.
Linnaeus said, "Compared to studying the souls of those demons outside, I have another research project here that I think you would be more interested in."
"Oh?" Jill was taken aback, and asked with some disbelief, "What project?"
Linna narrowed her eyes and asked with amusement, "So, you seem more interested in the power of demons..."
"Are you more interested in the power of the gods?"
Jill's expression froze for a moment, and her pupils contracted slightly.
After a while, he looked at Lin Nai with a suspicious expression and complicated feelings: "You...you're not just making empty promises to me, are you?"
Linnaeus said, “I have a friend who is now in a half-dead state. However, he has already rebuilt part of his body by cultivating his own power. If he were to slowly cultivate and recover the rest of his body by his own power, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years to fully recover. So I want you to research whether you can help him make a suitable ‘prosthetic’ before his body is fully restored.”
"A half-undead creature?" Jill frowned slightly. He had seen half-undead creatures before, the most typical being ghouls and headless horsemen.
but......
"Your friend is...?"
Linnaeus: "I'll let Him appear for you to see, and then you'll know."
With that, Lin Nai clasped his hands together, gathering divine power: "Summoning of the Dead - Sword God: Ten Souls!"
Jill initially looked suspicious.
Until he sensed a powerful divine force that turned everything around him into black and white, and a rustling sound began...
A tall and imposing figure of a half-dead greatswordsman slowly appeared before him!
Jill's eyes widened: "This, this is..."
......
Darkmoon Base.
Team training room.
At three in the morning, Mu Xun was still alone in the training room.
Mu Xun stood in the virtual training room, holding a bronze longsword, in a forest setting.
Opposite him, an AI automatically simulated and generated an enemy.
Linnaeus was standing on a large tree twenty meters in front of him, arms crossed, with White Night beneath his feet. A huge scythe was embedded in the tree trunk, forming a platform.
This is a dummy automatically generated by the AI system based on Linna's past battle data. It will imitate Linna's strength, personality, and fighting habits as closely as possible.
Mu Xun's eyes were sharp as knives, faintly emitting a blue light, and the power of lightning emanated from his body, surging with strong electric current divine power.
He raised his longsword and lightly ran two fingers across its surface, imbuing it with a layer of pale blue divine power.
"Divine Art - Lightning Thousand Birds!"
Mu Xun flicked his wrist and thrust his sword out from a distance.
The sword energy formed a vast expanse of astonishing lightning, which then transformed into thousands of lightning birds, emitting deafening and piercing cries, all swooping down towards Lin Nai!
Linnaeus flipped down from the tree and easily dodged the attack.
Mu Xun took a step forward and strode forward, unleashing a fierce sword strike!
The sword was incredibly fast, piercing straight into Lin Nai's body!
But Lin Nai's body became transparent and ethereal in that instant, and his figure shifted strangely to the other side, leaving behind a trail of ghostly shadows!
Mu Xun scanned his surroundings, searching for Lin Nai's location.
"Divine Art - Silver Moon Slash!"
Lin Nai suddenly attacked him from behind!
Mu Xun seemed to have anticipated this move. He leaned forward and swung his longsword in his hand, creating several sword flowers.
"bite!"
"Clang!"
The two men's weapons clashed, producing a crisp sound.
Mu Xun was very confident in his swordsmanship.
But as both a teammate and an opponent, he knew all too well that the man in front of him had some kind of cheat code!
Trying to outmaneuver a melee weapon that's practically overpowered is clearly not a wise choice.
Mu Xun flipped backward, creating distance, and wrote a few wild and messy characters in the air with his fingers.
"Divine Art - Cataclysmic Thunder Prison!"
A terrifying curtain of lightning descended from the sky, and four blinding blue lightning pillars crashed to the ground, forming a terrifying lightning prison with a voltage of millions!
Lin Nai was enveloped by the thunder prison formed by the four pillars of light. In an instant, his whole body was paralyzed, and all his divine power and soul power were sealed!
No matter how hard the AI Linna struggled, it was completely unable to move an inch!
Mu Xun's indifferent gaze suddenly sharpened.
His entire body was filled with surging blue divine power, like a raging fire, and the power of his lightning gradually increased and intensified!
The divine power emanating from his body gradually changed from blue to a deep red!
Mu Xun formed a hand seal, while his bronze longsword floated in the air, rapidly gathering the power of lightning.
Above the sky, the once azure sky was quickly filled with dark clouds that completely obscured the entire sky!
All the deep red divine energy was concentrated on the sword blade!
Mu Xun's eye sockets, including his pupils and the whites of his eyes, turned completely deep red, and all his divine power suddenly erupted!
"Divine Art - Heavenly Punishment!"
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The sky was dark and gloomy with thick clouds when a stunning crimson lightning bolt struck down from the heavens!
It accurately struck Linnai, who was trapped in the Cataclysmic Thunder Prison!
"ah--"
Linnaeus's figure vanished instantly in the blinding light...
The sky brightened in an instant.
A white light spread out, enveloping the entire forest...
