Chapter 18 I Am But a Wretch

"So, at this time, you began to experiment, discovering that killing versions of yourselves in other parallel universes allows you to seize their universe's Source Energy? And then enhance your father, Fang Lin's, abilities?" Fang Senyan said coldly.

"Wrong! For ordinary people, all they can possess is negligible Source Energy, thin and weak. Only those who have become a vital node in a parallel space, possessing Source Energy thousands, tens of thousands of times stronger than ordinary people, have value to be killed," Fu said with a mocking tone.

"Otherwise, don't you think, you're just a piece of trash with ordinary aptitude, not even qualified to be a Chosen One. How could you have turned danger into safety, step by step, rising all the way after entering the space? Until you've grown to where you are today?"

"That's because! When we killed the Fang Lins in other parallel spaces, a large part of the Source Energy dissipated after their deaths was also absorbed by you!! The idle Source Energy is very close to the characteristics of a liquid. Under normal circumstances, as written in the research reports, it preferentially flows to other biological vital nodes nearby. However, if a powerful biological vital node appears far away, the latter is like a whirlpool, actively attracting the distant Source Energy to drift over!"

Speaking here, Fu sighed deeply:

"Originally, you lucky fool could have continued to reap benefits without working, until after I fought you, I discovered that the Demon Sword Apophis could actually be controlled by you! And this weapon can only be used by our special bloodline, so I became suspicious. Plus, an important servant of my father finally retrieved its most important soul fragment. Although he didn't tell us anything, this attitude itself is a piece of information, so it's not difficult to deduce the existence of you, this damned tumor, disgusting parasite, lucky remnant!"

"Wait a minute," Fang Senyan suddenly said coldly. "You said that Source Energy only flows to biological vital nodes in each space, so what does your father's killing spree have to do with me? Theoretically, my dead biological father should be the one benefiting. Why can I also get the benefits?"

"Because. Your father, the merchant Fang Lin, actually also entered the Nightmare Space!! And also possessed the power to contend with us. Although he was ultimately defeated and killed, his power should not be underestimated, so after killing him. We didn't guard against the fact that he still had a backup plan."

"Now it seems that he didn't die in battle at all, but faked his death, until he struggled to see you, passed his most precious Life Source Energy to you, and also prepared various protective measures for you before dying! That's right. Now that I think about it, your mother's suicide is really suspicious. She probably didn't commit suicide for your father, but to prevent us from getting any information about you from her!"

In that instant, Fang Senyan felt something scalding burning in his chest. The things Fu said matched some of the memory fragments he had recalled before, and they were so real!

He had resented his parents countless times for abandoning him ruthlessly! But now, knowing the truth, he realized that it was true fatherly love like a mountain! Motherly love like water! They loved him so deeply and fiercely that they unhesitatingly gave up their most precious lives!

The reason why his memories before the age of three were so fragmented was probably also his father's doing, to prevent anyone from stealing the secret of his identity when he was weak.

Fang Senyan's chest heaved violently, and it took a while to calm down. At this time, he strangely thought, if he had children, would he make such a big sacrifice for them? If he could survive today, he would find a woman to make a baby, no matter what!

Fang Senyan's jumping train of thought was definitely something others couldn't guess, but he quickly raised his head and looked at Fu with a mocking look:

"You keep saying that my father's Life Source Energy was passed on to me, so how could I not even have the aptitude to be a Chosen One? Is this thing so worthless?"

"Fool, it's tiring to talk to ignorant people like you," Fu sneered. "Source Energy originates from the starting point and is the most mysterious energy when the universe first opened, the origin of all life! Even the Nightmare Space cannot fully understand it, but it is only ahead of most people. If it is deliberately hidden, it is normal for the space not to notice. Besides, do you really not have the aptitude to be a Chosen One? Don't you have many abilities that are innately much stronger than other contractors?"

Fang Senyan was just about to say no, when his expression suddenly changed, and some almost forgotten memories emerged.

""You have been attacked by xxx, you will receive 7 points of damage. This damage has the ability to ignore any defense effects, and its priority level is: domain priority.""

""You have been attacked by xxx, your hidden talent: tenacity activates...""

""Data conflict, priority level is being determined...""

""Data error, data error.""

""Continuous determination...""

""Determination takes effect: Your hidden talent: tenacity takes effect, forcibly reducing any physical damage by 25 points.""

""You will only receive 1 point of damage this time.""

""………""

"That ability that allows me to run rampant in the Nightmare Space..."

"That terrifying talent that can make the almost omnipotent Nightmare Space confused, causing data errors..."

"Could this be the manifestation of the Life Source Energy my father left me?"

"Yes, it should be like this. If my life were just that of an ordinary person, then the Life Source Energy hidden in my body would gradually affect my destiny, slowly growing into an elite figure who could affect the world格局."

"But, after joining the Nightmare Space, that mysterious Life Source Energy was manifested as a talent. Although it lost its influence on fate, making me unable to become a great figure, it can protect my safety in the endless battles in the space!!"

"The truth, so that's how it is!!"

"Father... Father!!!"

***

"Now, there are no more mysteries in your heart, right." The one speaking was another person who appeared at some point, accompanied by Prince Pambaru.

"So, you can die in peace! When we killed your dead old man back then, three of our father's partners also fell. The Life Source Energy that dissipates after you die is enough to revive them."

After seeing Prince Pambaru, the truth behind the Big Ben Research Institute was revealed. The truth behind this highest institution of the Empire was the nascent Nightmare Space to which Fu belonged, which was on the verge of collapse. The various technologies developed by the Big Ben Research Institute were all built on the technical support here.

Fang Senyan looked at the burly man who had just appeared, then looked at Fu, and suddenly laughed mockingly:

"You're Fu's second brother? Called Xiang? You have a very high opinion of yourselves, don't you? In my opinion, you're just two pitiful worms."

"What did you say?" Fu and Xiang both took a step forward at the same time, the anger in their eyes almost devouring him!

Fang Senyan squinted his eyes and said coldly:

"I once performed a secret mission for the military, going to the Upsilon planet controlled by the Yautja (Predator), for mineral exploration. That planet is also the Yautja's hunting ground, where they capture various powerful beasts as hunting targets. There, I met a test subject who escaped from the Big Ben Research Institute and was captured by the Yautja! His original name was Tom. The name the research institute gave him was Type E Test Subject No. 7, and the plan to experiment on him was called the Ten Warriors Project."

Prince Pambaru's expression suddenly became very ugly after hearing Fang Senyan's words. He suddenly screamed wildly:

"Shut him up! This guy is talking nonsense!"

But Fu and Xiang both felt an extremely ominous feeling in their hearts. Xiang, who was quick-tempered, slapped Prince Pambaru, knocking out all his teeth and sending him flying seven or eight meters away, collapsing in the grass!

Fang Senyan looked at the two guys in front of him with a pitying look and said:

"That Tom strangely asked me to do one thing before he died: to make sure I went to the Big Ben Research Institute once. This request of his may not have been well-intentioned, and this guy has always given me a very strange feeling, as if I was fighting with a living puppet. At that time, my combat rank was not high enough, but now that I've reached the Arbiter, possessing the Thought Sense Tentacles and the Microscopic Ability, I know that the feeling was because the opponent didn't have a soul, or rather, the soul was incomplete."

"And because Tom deeply touched me, I specially collected a bit of his cell sample. Space analysis shows that he should be particularly compatible with the Ten Warriors cells, so he was actually cloned many times. That is to say, the childhood and adolescent memories that Clone Tom had before were forcibly instilled or, rather, were the instinctive memories of the cells. But these false memories powerfully supported him in escaping that damned research institute. Heh heh, it's really ironic."

Fu and Xiang were shaking violently all over, their breathing was very disordered, and their eyes were also red. Although they had guessed something, they still stubbornly said:

"What you're saying has nothing to do with us?"

Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed with pity:

"Unfortunately, the feeling I have when facing you two is very similar to the feeling I had when facing Tom. My intuition tells me that you and Tom are actually the same kind of people, even your souls are incomplete, pitiful clones! Your respected father probably only regards you as tools like toilets, toilet paper, and stirring sticks. Hahaha!!" (To be continued.)
