Chapter 33-33- Pressure
If it was strange that the aberration would come to visit instead of launching a sneak attack, then it was a bolt from the blue when the aberration spoke human words.
Although it spoke in Kuroshio language, with strange pronunciations, making it difficult for Rosalin, who only knew simple Kuroshio language, to understand, the impact was undiminished. She stammered, "You...you...how can you speak?"
Yvette suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you recovered your memories of your human days?"
"After the third... evolution was completed... I could see some... information fragments remaining in the brain..." As the double-edged demon spoke, his tone gradually became smoother, as if he had found the feeling of speaking human language.
Then, seeing Rosaline's nervous expression, hesitant to speak, the double-edged demon wanted to laugh again, but seeing Yvette's expressionless face beside him, he restrained his impulse and said, "I already know your... living area... Those in the Hive camp also know... so they... won't come near... I was just testing... your level yesterday..."
Probing, perhaps referring to yesterday's surprise attack on Rosaline... The Hive? It should be the warring faction in the Grey Harbor War... but why does it sound like it's removed itself?
Yvette pondered this while Rosalyn, hiding behind her teacher, used the spoken language skills she had learned in her dreams to ask, "Are you still human? And what is this lord you're talking about?"
"I can only see... a little memory and knowledge... I am different from those other three-evolution... stupid dogs... I have more wisdom than it... and a stronger body than humans... I am a more advanced, unlimited... perfect creature."
The double-edged demon finally couldn't help it this time and once again showed the smile that frightened Rosaline, but this time, Yvette didn't suddenly attack it.
It can be seen that this guy has separated himself from the deformed beings... He calls himself a perfect creature and calls the other three-stage deformed beings stupid dogs... Considering that his knowledge comes from the memories of his human period, does this mean that it is easier for humanoid deformed beings to acquire knowledge and wisdom after entering the third stage... Yvette thought.
After a pause, the double-edged demon continued, "The Lord... is the fourth stage of evolution... Once it is born... it will dominate the island... At that time, the best outcome for me is... losing my freedom... The worst outcome is becoming nutrients... And your existence... is too great a threat, and you will definitely be eradicated..."
"Why are you the only one who comes to us for cooperation? What about the other three-stage aberrations?" Yvette asked.
"They are all stupid dogs, unable to communicate and knowing nothing... Those who know the truth are all slaves of the mother nest, and their evolution was completed with the help of the mother nest... My evolution depends solely on myself." The double-edged demon said this, and his awkward tone has become more skillful, and a strong sense of superiority can be clearly felt in his tone.
The Hive can help aberrations evolve, but the price is control by the Hive... The Twin Blade Demon reached the third stage on its own, becoming a lone wolf among the Hive's forces...
Yvette understood the hidden meaning in its words, but was puzzled. "After the Lord is born, who controls you, the Lord or the Hive? Or are they one and the same?"
"When the mother nest is first born, it is very weak and will choose a... collaborator to be the nest master... There can only be one nest master... As long as it is immortal, it cannot be changed and is not under the control of the mother nest... Only the nest master can evolve into a lord." said the double-edged demon.
I see. This should mean that the early Hive is powerless and requires external investment for growth. This is the "Hive Master," who can form a kind of contract with the Hive, forming a symbiotic relationship... and once the Hive grows, it will return the favor to the Hive Master, helping it evolve into the fourth-stage "Lord" and establish a Deformed Force... Yvette asked, "How did the Hive come into being?"
"I don't know." This time the double-edged demon answered surprisingly straightforwardly, and then added, "...luck."
"Do you know where the first distorted creatures came from when the doomsday came?" Yvette asked again.
This time, the double-edged demon didn't even answer. Instead, he shook his head and stared at her quietly. While its massive white compound eyes lacked expression, its humanlike facial features gave her the impression of silently asking, "How do I know this?"
Seeing that the two stopped asking questions, the double-edged demon raised his lip again and said, "This information... is my sincerity... The Corrupted Forest between the mountains is where the Overlord was born... The Nest Master is already evolving, and the war with the two nests is just a cover to buy time... All the elite guards have been deployed to the mother nest... I suggest you make a decision quickly... Otherwise, it will take less than two weeks... Hehe..."
After saying this, its four wings vibrated slightly, and it turned into a residual shadow, silently blending into the darkness and disappearing without a trace.
…
The next morning, Rosalin, who had not slept well the night before, came downstairs with dark circles under her eyes and saw that the teacher had already gotten up early.
It was an area that could barely be considered an animal pen, and inside it were some wild animals captured by the teacher.
In the dim light of dawn, Yvette sat quietly at a simple wooden table, her figure elongated. In her hand, she held a slender syringe, dark liquid swaying slightly within the glass tube as she slowly and intently pushed it beneath the skin of a gray rabbit.
Rosalyn didn't say anything to disturb the teacher because she knew he was doing an experiment.
After developing the "Regeneration Pump" technique three years ago, the teacher had been researching how to use the phantom heart to filter out the aberration factors in the body, as a life-saving method for aberration infection. However, due to a lack of understanding of the nature of the technique, the required advanced knowledge, and her own excessive laziness, she only conducted experiments every few days, each lasting only an hour or two. As a result, the optimization process for the "Regeneration Pump" remained stuck for three years with little progress.
It was actually fine to be so leisurely before. For a powerful wizard who has lived for countless years, is there anything that cannot wait until tomorrow?
But after witnessing the war yesterday and the visit of the double-bladed demon at night, the teacher did not sleep in early this morning and started doing experiments early in the morning. This indirectly shows that the "lord" who is about to be born in the Ish Mountains has put a lot of pressure on the teacher.
She tiptoed into the kitchen, put on an apron and began to prepare breakfast. When she placed the warm plate next to the teacher, she saw a strange look on the teacher's face.
"What's going on, teacher?" Rosalyn asked.
"I've got a clue." Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. "It's worth my whole night of research."
"Teacher, have you studied all night?" Rosalyn said in surprise.
"Um."
"So as long as you pay attention, the teacher is a genius." Rosalyn smiled.
Is this a hint that I was too lazy before... Looking at the angelic smile on the girl's face, Yvette was a little suspicious.
After breakfast, the two set off again, almost circling the Ish Mountains in the middle of Ish Island, starting from the southernmost city of Ish, to the Gray Port City on the upper left, then passing through scattered town ruins, to the northernmost city of Luya, and finally from the east ring road on the right, going down all the way and returning to the southern city of Ish.
——The whole journey took a whole day, and the energy storage panels of the magic motorcycle were exhausted. It was all thanks to Yvette's magic reserve of nearly 650 points that it was recharged.
During this process, the two of them mainly watched from the edge of several battlefields. First, they confirmed that the Ish Mountains were indeed fighting against the Gray Port and Luya camps at the same time. Second, during the battle, the woodlouse army against Gray Port did not have a third-stage mutant leading the team, while the woodlouse army against Luya was led by a third-stage canine mutant. I wonder if it was specially sent out to bluff.
Finally, on their return journey along the ruins of the 150-kilometer East Ring Road, while overlooking the Ish Mountains, the two encountered the double-edged demon again.
It flew to the side of the hovercraft, chuckled, and said, "Haha, now you should know... I didn't lie to you..."
We're not sure everything you said is true... Rosaline was about to say this, but then she heard the double-edged demon continue, "I am indeed the most intelligent and perfect creature..."
For a moment, both the master and the disciple were silent. They couldn't refute this. Because when they were observing in Gray Harbor City and Luya City, they had both attempted to communicate with the third-level aberrations or the mother nests of these two factions. However, perhaps because they lacked human brains, they behaved like wild beasts, unable to speak human words or understand sign language. They could only breathe repeatedly and attack directly if they got close...
From this it can be seen that as a humanoid deformed being, the double-edged demon is much stronger in this aspect, at least it can communicate.
