Chapter 60 The Birth of Death
The sky and the ground were filled with thick poisonous gas, which turned into black clouds that hung overhead, surging and rolling. Occasionally, black rain would fall, soaking the earth and everything in it, corroding and twisting the world into a nightmare shape. The strange roars of the mutated creatures were like the most terrifying nightmares in the depths of the nightmare, instilling fear in people's hearts.
Ordinary people who transmigrated here would either be contaminated by the poisonous gas and turn into pus or mutate into twisted monsters with only instincts left. But this had nothing to do with Suk. He was covered in a Force suit, and the Force flowed slightly on the suit, blocking all the poisonous gas and giving him a full sense of security. He flew in the sky, and even though the suit completely covered his body and was airtight, he did not have any worries about breathing.
Most importantly, he was accompanied by two cosmic-level powerhouses, so even the most twisted mutated monsters were nothing more than a slap in their face.
"Hmm?" Suk saw streaks of light flashing through the darkness in the distance. He vaguely recognized some of the figures, and hearing some noises coming from the area, he turned around and asked, "Is Sasaki still here?"
"Yes, Mr. Saki is still fighting those mutated creatures." Hail's tone was somewhat strange.
Suk was surprised by Zuomu's enthusiasm this time. He shook his head, and since there was no danger with the guards following him, he didn't try to stop him.
According to Saki, he is a man destined to become the King of Adventure and conquer the stars and the sea; these monsters are just a warm-up for the future.
"There aren't many well-behaved people in this family," Suk sighed, thinking of Zuomu's parents. Because they couldn't move freely in reality, they focused their attention on the virtual universe, spending most of their time playing games and conquering different game worlds. They were so engrossed in their games that they almost forgot about home, and they rarely disciplined their children. According to them, they felt at ease with Suk as their friend.
My own parents are much more normal; they spend their time practicing Buddhism and taking care of their children, and they lead a fulfilling life.
But Suk knew that the happiness of those around him was built on his own strength.
If I weren't strong enough, I would have died in the Blood Spring Society's attack long ago, and my parents would have been heartbroken.
"Blood Spring Society..." A cold glint flashed in Suk's eyes. He hadn't forgotten his grudge against the Blood Spring Society. He already knew that the Blood Spring Society had issued a warrant for his arrest, and the two sides seemed to be locked in a life-or-death struggle.
The three stopped on a clearing of black earth. Liu Mila took out a spindle-shaped telekinetic weapon from her spatial ring. It was entirely cyan-gold in color and covered with very dense, strip-shaped patterns, slightly thicker in the middle and sharp at both ends, and over 90 centimeters long. "Go!" A cyan-gold shadow immediately flew out, tearing a large hole in the hard earth, piercing straight through it and advancing through the soil!
Hissing sounds could be heard fading away rapidly from underground.
Under the control of a cosmic-level psychic master, the drilling speed of the psychic weapon is astonishing.
"Let's go down," Suk said, and the three of them flew down through the hole they had drilled.
The underground was completely dark, with no light source, but all three could see clearly. The telekinetic weapon was drilling into the ground at an astonishing speed, continuing to drill down into the rock layer!
One kilometer... two kilometers... three kilometers...
The planet's internal structure is a concentric layered structure, which differentiates into the core, mantle, and crust from the Earth's center to the surface.
If we were to use a vivid analogy to describe the internal structure of a planet, it would be like an egg: the core would be the yolk, the mantle the egg white, and the crust the shell.
The Earth's crust is about tens of kilometers thick, and its material composition, apart from sedimentary rocks, is mainly granite, basalt, and the like.
The telekinetic weapon was indestructible and as fast as lightning, piercing and shattering anything in its path! In the blink of an eye, the three of them passed through the earth's crust and continued downwards.
The deeper you go, the greater the density and the higher the temperature.
The mantle is the intermediate layer between the Earth's surface and core, and it is nearly 3000 kilometers thick.
The temperature here reaches thousands of degrees Celsius, high enough to melt rocks and turn them into magma.
Suk and the others stopped here. The surrounding temperature reached thousands of degrees, the pressure was extremely high, and blood-red magma was surging.
Suk had Hail release his Force to form an isolation barrier to block the magma from the outside. He took out a fist-sized, black sphere that shimmered with a metallic luster from his spatial ring. This was the core of the Death Star Vine, or what could be called the seed.
Suk looked at the Death Star Vine Seed in front of him, took a deep breath, and removed the black glowing battle armor on his hand, revealing his wrist. Then, a battle knife appeared in Suk's hand, and he slashed at his wrist.
His skin was now many times harder and more resilient than diamond, but the light sliced through it and cut it open, causing some purplish-red blood to flow out. At the same time, Suk had prepared a large amount of treasures to replenish his life force... According to the information, the Death Star Vine needed a lot of blood to recognize its master. Suk, a planetary level being, probably wouldn't have enough blood to drink even if he died. He had to use treasures to replenish it.
The blood was continuously absorbed by the seeds, and Suk's powerful cellular activity caused the wrist wound to heal rapidly, leaving him no choice but to cut it open again!
"Although a lot of blood is needed, at least this much is enough," Suk laughed.
The Death Star Vine is powerful enough, but its evolutionary path is singular because it only has one perfect form. Apart from eating planets and some planet-related treasures such as the "Heart of the Stars," other treasures seem to have little effect on its growth process.
*Gurgle...* Suk's blood was like a gentle rain nourishing the vast, parched earth, being devoured in the blink of an eye. A faint, endless thirst and greed emanated from it. This Death Star Vine had been specially tuned; otherwise, it wouldn't have reacted to Suk's blood, let alone become its master. This frenzied behavior made Suk click his tongue in amazement. "So terrifying even before it's born. No wonder it's called the Death Star Vine."
Suk felt his life force weakening as he rapidly lost a large amount of blood, and a sense of powerlessness washed over him. Blood loss meant life loss, and even a planetary-level being would die from excessive blood loss. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and immediately grabbed a green fruit, put it in his mouth, and bit into it. He felt much better immediately.
It wasn't until a full half hour, after Suk had bled an unknown amount of blood, that the Death Star Vine stopped absorbing the blood. The seed's color changed from black to dark red, and faint black threads began to appear on its surface.
With a series of crisp cracking sounds, the incredibly hard black surface suddenly split open, revealing fine fissures. To Suk's delight, a delicate and slender black vine nimbly emerged, its head swaying slightly in mid-air as if sensing something, before wrapping itself around Suk's wrist and rubbing intimately against it.
Suk felt a cold, metallic touch on his wrist, along with a vague, indistinct instinct that seemed to be saying, "Master, I'm hungry, I need food..."
The newly born Death Star Vine was hungry.
