“Fallen Angel? Are you sure?”
Dodola’s eyes bore into Meng Lei.
“Yes, of course!”
Meng Lei was very certain of it.
“If it really is a Fallen Angel, then you’d better hurry and kill it!” Dodola’s eyes narrowed as it said, “That thing will only bring endless calamity if you keep it.”
“Is it that bad?” asked Meng Lei, who was slightly taken aback by Dodola’s statement.
“You don’t understand the Fallen Angels!”
Dodola rolled its eyes at Meng Lei as it said, “The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline in you is a monstrous one, right? The Fallen Angel doesn’t lose out to it in any way!
“A two-winged Fallen Angel rivals a half-deity; a four-winged Fallen Angel rivals a lesser deity; a six-winged Fallen Angel rivals an intermediate deity; an eight-winged Fallen Angel rivals a higher deity; and a sixteen-winged Fallen Angel rivals a deity of Great Perfection!
“The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline may be strong and powerful, but it has neither ever achieved Great Perfection nor dominated the Void, much less own its own private territory. However, the Fallen Angels possess all of that.
“The Fallen Angels dominate the Demon Realm, which is one of the three great devil high-end existential planes. They rule over and own innumerable material planes and elemental planes. The Void is full of traces of them!
“There are a great number of Great Perfection-level experts among the Fallen Angels. In fact, they’ve even produced Chief Gods before!”
Dodola looked at Meng Lei as it asked, “Do you still find the Fallen Angels average and mediocre now?”
“Are the Fallen Angels actually that powerful?!”
Meng Lei was rather dumbstruck.
“Duh, of course!”
Dodola said dryly, “The Deity Alliance has been fighting the Devils over the last millions of years. Fallen Angels, as one of the Devils’ main fighting forces, have killed innumerable deities. How would they possibly be weaklings?”
“I see!”
Meng Lei’s eyes gleamed shrewdly as he gazed at the unremarkable pebble. “So, that means that there’s a big, fearsome demon developing inside this?”
Dodola nodded slightly and replied, “You’d best think of a way to kill it. Leaving it around is ultimately still a risk. It doesn’t benefit you in any way!”
“No, that’s not what I think!”
A shrewd glint flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes as he said, “Since it possesses such fearsome potential, why not hatch it and groom it into a superbly strong fighter?”
“Groom a Fallen Angel?”
Dodola received a huge fright. “What the heck! You sure dream big! Do you know what you’re in for once someone discovers that?
“All the deities in the Void will isolate you! Millions of Devils will regard you with animosity! There’ll be no place for you in both good and evil! How are you going to fit in in the future?”
“Who can be that bothered with what happens in the future?” Meng Lei, who didn’t agree with Dodola’s views, waved it off and said, “Tell me how I should hatch it, Dodola!”
“You’re simply too impressive. I hope you won’t regret this!” Dodola then said with a light snort, “If you want to hatch it, you’ll have to remove its seal first. That seal is unbearably crude, so it’s likely a half-deity’s handiwork. Undoing it shouldn’t be difficult. Don’t dirty my bed. Let’s go to the 96th level instead.”
...
The 96th level was a dim and dark blood-red world with blood-red ground, blood-red plants, and a blood-red full moon in the blood-red skies.
The place was bloody and sinister, dead silent and terrifying.
“The Dark Elements on this level are extremely rich and suit the Fallen Angel. You can place it here.”
“Alright!”
As the seal was a half-deity’s handiwork, undoing it didn’t pose much of a difficulty to Dodola.
Crack!
Crack!
Several thin cracks appeared on the pebble’s surface as the seal broke before they swiftly spread all over the pebble.
Whoosh!
Numerous blood-red rays of light shone through the cracks, and then it exploded with a loud boom.
Voila!
A large egg with a blood-red pattern and shining with a blood-red glow appeared before Meng Lei’s eyes.
An evil, demonic aura full of decay and depravity emanated into the surroundings, giving Meng Lei an extreme sense of discomfort.
Buzz...
At the same time, the lifeform inside the egg also seemed to sense the presence of Dark Elements in the surroundings and began to absorb them.
“To think it’s actually still alive despite being sealed for so many years. Its vitality sure is strong. Only a scant few higher Devils like the Fallen Angels and so on can possess such strong vitality!”
Dodola took in the feeling closely, and then it suddenly asked, “By the way, how did you know that it’s a Fallen Angel?”
“It was a random guess!” Meng Lei gave a patronizing response to shut Dodola up, and then he asked, “How do I hatch it?”
Although Dodola was rather dissatisfied with his answer, it nevertheless still replied, “The seal had shut out the circulation of magic elements. Now that it’s been removed, it’ll continue to mature on its own. You just need to wait patiently! However...”
“However what?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.
“I’d suggest that you immediately form a blood pact with it and turn it into your slave.”
Dodola explained, “By the time it hatches, whether or not you can even defeat it would become a problem itself!”
“That makes sense!”
Meng Lei agreed wholeheartedly with Dodola. The reason why he’d dared to enter an equal contract with Little Gold and Teddy was that he had the confidence to subdue them if necessary, but this wasn’t the case for the Fallen Angel.
Not only was it born a half-deity, but it was even an evil Devil. Turning it into his slave was the most suitable course of action.
“By the way, what’s a blood pact?” Meng Lei asked as he scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
“I’m gonna faint!”
Dodola was rendered speechless. “Seeing how you were so agreeable to the suggestion and how you’d agreed wholeheartedly with it, I thought that you knew about the blood pact. So you were just putting on a show?!”
“...”
Blood pacts weren’t difficult to learn. Meng Lei mastered it immediately after Dodola went through it with him once.
Meng Lei bit his finger and made a cut before squeezing out a few drops of blood. Then, using his finger as a pen, his blood as ink, and the laws of nature as a catalyst, he inscribed a magic circle.
Buzz...
A blood pact magic circle, which looked like messy, illegible drawings, covered the surface of the egg. Following the magic circle’s activation, the messy drawings turned into a blood-red glow that seeped into the egg.
The next moment, Meng Lei immediately felt a hint of an intimate connection with the tiny lifeform in the egg.
He could completely feel that tiny lifeform’s pulse, heartbeat, its desire for Dark Elements, as well as its instinctive desire to hatch and break out of the egg.
“This is so amazing!”
With a wave, Meng Lei brought out the elemental crystals that he’d just collected. Then, he picked out the dark-elemental ones and piled them around the Fallen Angel egg.
“So many elemental crystals!”
Dodola was rather impressed. “Not bad, you’re much richer than most typical native half-deities!”
“I just ransacked the Dragon God Empire’s treasury.” Meng Lei burst into laughter. “You know what I mean...”
“No wonder!”
A laughing Dodola said, “Since you have so many dark-elemental elemental crystals, you can set up a magical energy-gathering magic circle and accelerate the incubation process.”
“A magical energy-gathering magic circle?”
A look of confusion came over Meng Lei’s features.
“You don’t know this, either?”
A magical energy-gathering magic circle was set up in no time.
Upon activating the magic circle, the Dark Elements within several hundred kilometers of where they were swiftly converged in their direction and surged toward the Fallen Angel egg in the center of the magic circle.
The blood-red patterns on the surface of the egg became even brighter and more bewitching. As though crimson-red blood vessels, they started to absorb the Dark Elements in the surroundings even more fervently.
“That’s good enough!”
Dodola flapped its tiny little wings and said, “With the nourishment of such rich Dark Elements, it should be able to hatch very soon!”
“Hopefully!”
Meng Lei was looking forward very much to it, too.
“But you must take note of something.” Dodola suddenly warned, “It’ll need to feed once it hatches. Although Dark-Elemental Magical Beasts can barely suffice too, the best choice of food for it is still Devils.”
“It’ll need to feed on Devils?”
Meng Lei was dumbfounded.
Dodola explained, “Devils are different from deities. The fastest way for them to boost their combat power is to devour other Devils. High-grade Devils are the best options!”
“Where am I supposed to find Devils for it to feed on?”
Meng Lei was lost for words at once. He didn’t even have more than a few Dark-Elemental Magical Beasts at hand, let alone Devils?
What kind of joke was this?
“You can do some research on Dead Souls Magic or Devil Magic when you’re free. It should be of some use,” suggested Dodola before it vanished into thin air.
“Dead Souls Magic? Devil Magic? Aren’t those already lost arts?” mumbled Meng Lei to himself.
“Never mind. I’ll think about it again when I’m out.”
Then, Meng Lei returned to the outside world and continued to look through the items.
The fifth item was an amber-like sapphire with a blue-haired, fairy-like little human figure inside.
As though a work of art, the human figure looked vivid and real. Upon picking it up, Meng Lei sensed rich water-elemental power of divinity energy fluctuations.
“What’s that tiny little human inside? Surely it isn’t someone who’s still alive and sealed inside again?
“Never mind, I’ll just take it with me first.”
Just like that, Meng Lei looked through the items one by one. A vast majority of the items were related to true gods and contained rich power of divinity energy fluctuations, making them invaluable treasures.
“What a waste of all these treasures. I can’t turn them into cash.”
Meng Lei felt terribly helpless. These things were undoubtedly precious and valuable, but the problem was—would mortals spend big money to purchase them?
Even if they wanted to, they might not even be able to afford them.
“Forget it. I’ll just take them with me for now.”
...
“The rewards are indeed handsome!”
After leaving the treasury existential plane, Meng Lei headed toward Dragon Island while taking inventory of his newest gains along the way.
Aside from the Laws of Nature Origin Crystals and gold that had been converted into cash, what he had gained the most were various treasures—a great number of Saint Domain magic devices and half-divine weapons, a vast amount of elemental crystals and rare materials, as well as dozens of true god artifacts.
What huge earnings!
However, to Meng Lei, the most precious item he’d gotten was none other than the fusion laws of nature fragment.
Meng Lei was in incredibly high spirits the moment he looked at the “0.1%” behind the wood-earth fusion laws of nature on his stats interface.
Now that he had reopened the credit-buying doors to comprehending laws of nature, how could he possibly not be overjoyed?
Meng Lei asked, “System, how much does it cost to boost my wood-earth laws of nature assimilation rate?
“Ding! Raising Wood-Earth Laws of Nature assimilation rate by 1% costs 100,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.”
“1... 100,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp, almost wetting himself in shock.
How much were 100,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?
That was 1,000 Power of Divinity droplets! Or 10 Divinity Crystals!
Raising it by 1% required 10 Divinity Crystals? Who could afford that?
Meng Lei cast a glance at his Wealth—787,869 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
“I’d thought myself rich just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye...” Meng Lei let out a wry laugh.
Raising it by just 1% already required 100,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. Wouldn’t that mean that 100% would require 10,000,000 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?
What about assimilating ten types of laws of nature, then? How much would that cost?
“Assimilation? To hell with assimilation!”
Meng Lei cursed inwardly, “Even if I use all my Wealth for Limitless Pickups, I’ll never use it to buy credit for laws of nature assimilation!
“Never mind, system! Do 100 Limitless Pickups for me first!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrank by 100 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained Anna the barmaid’s underwear!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s Wealth +100 gold coins!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a broadsword!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a pair of leather boots from Baturu the Dwarf!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fire-Elemental Laws of Nature Fragment! Will you assimilate it?”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Blue Heart Herb!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s Spirit +666!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Great Earth Bear’s paw!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained Old Jack’s walking stick!”
(⊙o⊙)
“What the f*ck! What are all these!?”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a pair of Unicorn wings!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Fallen Titan bloodline! Will you assimilate it?”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Ferrotungsten Ironwood Staff!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the Innate Special Ability ‘Teleport’. Will you assimilate it?”
“Ding! Assimilation successful...”
“Wait a moment!!!”
