Chapter 197 Symbiote = Flesh and Blood of an Evil God? That Makes Some Sense

Rune chatted with Constantine for a while, and it must be said that the guy was quite eloquent; it was a pleasant conversation.

"Alright, let's get to the point." Constantine puffed out his chest. "Your Uncle Constantine has something to do tonight."

"I want to take back that," Rune sighed, then shook his head, utterly speechless at the bastard before him. He pulled a bottle containing the symbiote from his clothes and threw it at Constantine.

"This is the reward I promised you." Rune didn't dare sit on the sofa, afraid that he would find something sticky inside. In fact, Constantine's room was already filled with the scent of heather, and even someone as strong as Rune was terrified of the dark energy filling the room.

Constantine easily caught the bottle, then frowned and examined it closely. Judging from its appearance alone, it was no more than a test tube slightly longer than a middle finger, filled with a sticky, thick white liquid.

"This is the reward you swore you'd give me to satisfy?" Constantine stared at Rune in disbelief. "This lump of dough—do you think your Uncle Constantine is so easily fooled?"

"Why not open it and experience it with your magic?"

Constantine thought Rune was out of his mind, while Rune thought Constantine was clueless. It was only because Tony Stark was a genius; otherwise, Rune wouldn't know where to find a symbiote with no side effects and significantly reduced weaknesses. Even now, he still struggles to understand why this symbiote lacks consciousness.

Constantine scoffed, but he didn't question Rune. After all, he was the guy who had imprisoned the strongest mage on Earth; surely he wouldn't try to fool him with a dough ball, would he?

So he used some secret techniques to open a third eye on his forehead. The pupil of this eye was a strange rectangle, and it could not close vertically, only horizontally. Rune immediately recognized it as the Demon Eye made by Constantine. This kind of magic has many branches, and the caster can borrow the power of demons through demon blood. Among them, the eyes, wings, and arms are the most commonly used parts.

One of the areas Constantine frequently used was not among these commonly used areas.

"Hmm—" Constantine immediately sensed something strange as soon as he opened his Demon Eye. He had initially thought it was a lump of fermented dough, but through his Demon Eye, he could see just how malevolent the liquid itself truly was. He looked up at Rune and asked, "Where did you get this evil god's flesh and blood?"

"The flesh and blood of an evil god?" Rune raised an eyebrow, then recalled the origin of the symbiote—strictly speaking, the symbiote could indeed be considered the flesh and blood of an evil god.

The symbiote was created by the ancient dark god Nal. This evil god had previously forged a Black Death sword using his own shadow as raw material, and then used the heads of giant Celestials as a furnace to strengthen the Black Death sword with anger and hatred. This Black Death sword was the original symbiote.

Therefore, Constantine's statement is not entirely wrong.

"Yes!" Constantine's expression improved considerably, clearly acknowledging the gift's value. "Your Uncle Constantine misunderstood you. I really like this gift, hahahahaha—"

Rune sighed. These spellcasters really don't know their stuff—wait, is he insulting himself?

"Whatever you want to do to it now, that's not its intended purpose," Rune said. "Constantine, apply it to your body, then control it with your will—"

"I'm not an idiot." Constantine interrupted Rune, putting away the lump of [Evil God's Flesh and Blood]. "I'm not going to accept the gaze of an evil god for a little physical enhancement."

Under Rune's strange gaze, Constantine put on a crooked-mouthed dragon king expression. Indeed, in the future, Nar will be awakened and attempt to regain control of all the symbiotes, but Rune doesn't think Nar has the ability to cross dimensions and control the symbiotes—if he were really that strong, he wouldn't have been defeated by the Celestials in the first place.
