Chapter 416 - 417: World Prototype

Chapter 416: Chapter 417: World Prototype

"Before I strike, let me tell you something. Any damage I take from any being in the Star Realm is reduced by 70%."

"If you want to kill me, you’ll have to end my very fate. Otherwise, you can’t erase me, not even with temporal Witchcraft."

After squeezing the venom from his neck, Andre looked at the Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar and said with a smile.

"Nonsense! How could such a life form exist in the Star Realm?"

The Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar didn’t believe a word Andre said.

In her eyes, he was just trying to intimidate her.

Andre looked at the Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar and shook his head. His figure then vanished, transforming into a mass of Chaos Qi that instantly enveloped her.

"What is this stuff? Shatter!"

The Nine-headed Serpent screamed and thrashed within the Chaos Qi, trying to break free.

But no matter how she struggled, she could not escape the shroud of Chaos Qi.

Gradually, the Nine-headed Serpent’s voice grew fainter from within the Chaos Qi.

At last, the Chaos Qi coalesced back into Andre’s form. He twisted his neck and shook his head.

Instantly, eight new heads sprouted from his shoulders.

This was the Nine-headed Serpent’s Talent Witchcraft, which he had obtained by devouring its avatar with his Chaos Magic Power.

Each head could wield a different type of Power. Combined, they could even use Fusion Witchcraft.

If he used the heads as Witchcraft Artifacts to form a Witchcraft Array, the power would be even greater.

"I told you, but you wouldn’t believe me. Happy now?"

Andre shook his heads, looking at the Nine-headed Serpent that had now been assimilated into him, and spoke with a sigh of resignation.

’As heaven was my witness, I’ve never deceived a soul in either of my two lives.’

’But this Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar just had to call me a liar. In that case, sorry, but you can just obediently become one with me.’

’Next up, the Nine-headed Serpent’s treasure.’

Andre blinked and began to search. Soon, he discovered an infinitesimally small spatial point.

Then, using the Eye of Space, he gradually widened the point and pulled out its contents.

The moment he pulled the contents out, Andre understood. He knew where the Nine-headed Serpent avatar he’d just devoured had come from, and how it had managed to become a Morning Star in the Barbaric Universe World.

The answer lay within the space connected to that spatial point.

Inside the space connected to the spatial point lay a huge, shattered Snake Egg.

The serpent that had hatched from it was the Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar.

’It seems the Nine-headed Serpent planned her escape route long ago, leaving an avatar inside her own treasury.’

’When she was in danger, the avatar would hatch from its shell in the treasury and rapidly mature by devouring the items stored there.’

’Because it’s an avatar, it only needed to follow the prescribed path, continuously devouring vast resources to return to the Realm of a Level 6 Creature.’

’The usual bottlenecks other beings face during this process wouldn’t apply to the Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar.’

Andre looked at the eggshell and nodded. With a snap of his fingers, the shell instantly turned to ash.

He then began to sort through the treasure the Nine-headed Serpent had left behind.

Many of the treasures had already been consumed by the Nine-headed Serpent’s avatar, rendering them worthless.

After sorting for a moment, Andre stored the remaining items away. He walked out of the Earth Cave holding only a single flower.

After exiting the Earth Cave, Andre took a deep breath and then exhaled sharply. His breath instantly formed a dark cloud.

The cloud then expanded rapidly, eventually blanketing the entire forest.

Andre looked at the cloud and sneezed. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed within it. A moment later, a torrential downpour began, extinguishing the fires in the still-burning forest.

’In a few years, this will all be a new landscape.’

Andre glanced at the forest he had burned to cinders, nodded, and departed.

He was going to continue plundering the nests of other races’ Level 6 Creatures.

First on the list was the Sea Race. And among them, his primary target was the Hope Dolphin.

The Hope Dolphin’s Power could touch fate itself, so its hoard of treasures should be the largest, second only to the wild boar’s.

After asking the World Consciousness for the location of the Hope Dolphin’s nest, Andre immediately flew above its lair and waited for Stone to arrive.

A moment later, Stone arrived beside Andre, piloting the War Moon.

Andre looked at Stone and gave a nod.

The War Moon crashed onto the surface of the sea. Instantly, the impact created thousand-meter-high tidal waves that began to surge toward the continent.

Andre was completely unconcerned. Thanks to the War Moon’s impact,

the Rainbow Dolphin’s lair was revealed before him.

It was a bubble—or to be more precise, a bubble-like crystal.

In the Star Realm, this type of bubble-crystal was known as a "world prototype"—the very same kind of world Klein had used to break through and become a Red Sun Great Wizard.

’The Rainbow Dolphin truly lives up to its name, using a world prototype as its lair! Incredible!’

Andre eyed the bubble-crystal, about to seize it.

But just then, a bolt of lightning struck down, halting his movement.

’Seriously? We’re going fifty-fifty on this?’

Andre looked up at the sky. He knew, of course, why the World Consciousness had stopped him from taking the bubble-crystal; it was because the crystal was also incredibly useful to the World Consciousness itself.

"Fine, fine! Fifty-fifty it is!"

Andre looked at the lightning bolt and nodded. Instantly, the lightning blasted the bubble-crystal in two. A torrent of items poured out from within, which Andre intercepted one by one and stored in his Secret Realm.

At the same time, he absorbed the remaining half of the crystal, fusing it with his own Morning Star World.

The moment the piece of bubble-crystal appeared inside the Morning Star World, it was instantly devoured by the Morning Star Consciousness.

His world, which had been somewhat unstable, immediately stabilized after fusing with the crystal.

The Elemental Storms formed by various Elements also began to subside, their energies weaving together to form new matter.

’If the entire crystal had been integrated into my Morning Star World, it probably would have fully matured. My own world’s Wizards would have even appeared.’

Andre couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched the lightning carry away the other half of the crystal.

’In my eyes, giving that half-crystal to the World Consciousness is a complete waste.’

’The Barbaric Universe World is already a Level 6 World; what use does it have for half a world prototype?’
