Chapter 1845: Chapter 1842: Overwhelming Victory
This ‘woman’s appearance is extremely bizarre.
The head separated and suspended from the ceiling lacks skin and muscle structure, being just a skull with white hair.
The body sitting on the ground, however, is quite complete, with a form basically identical to that of a ‘human’.
With skin as clear as ice crystals, it transparently displays her internal structure, with blood vessels flowing with white crystalline blood, and small diamond-like particles embellishing the surface of each organ.
As Pope mentioned, Diseased Demons transformed by Death Spirits gradually become close to humans.
“I’ll try communicating first, and if negotiations fail, we will consider killing or retreating.”
Signaling with gestures, Han Dong stepped forward alone.
Using the True Demon Eye to investigate,
the woman’s skin, flesh, and various organs are filtered away, leaving only a skeleton… reminiscent of the White Bone Spirit from “Journey to the West”.
However, the skeleton here has a deeper meaning, clearly related to the “Book of Dead Spirit-Bone Part”.
As he got closer, Han Dong quietly released his domain,
a pure Faceless-type domain, with no apparent features, attempting to secretly test the [Dead Spirit].
But when the domain spread over, it didn’t seem to ensnare the entity.
“This thing must be a product spawned by the Book of Dead Spirit, the Remnant Pages correspond to the ‘Bone Part.’
Not just immune to magic, but even the domain cannot affect it, truly hard to deal with… Pope’s guess might be correct; this entity was birthed in the Shattered Dimension.
Interesting.”
Since the extended domain had no effect, Han Dong retracted it beneath his feet, enhancing himself.
Sitting cross-legged two meters away.
As soon as Han Dong sat down, the skull suspended in the air spoke:
“You are indeed impressive, even the Mythic Body can reach such depth… And judging by your appearance, you didn’t seem to suffer much loss on the way.
The planet we originated from was pulled in, and a large number of our people died on the spot.
The few surviving companions slowly perished in endless despair, with only a few ‘lucky ones’ like me surviving.”
Han Dong spoke with a respectful tone, slightly lowering his head:
“We currently have the technology to move freely within the Shattered Dimension. Venturing deep here is mainly to find an opportunity to become a king.
During the dimensional crossing, we stumbled upon a mysterious team and followed them here.
They’ve probably already landed on the other side of the Frozen Land.”
Han Dong directly shifted the focus to the ‘mysterious team.’
“Oh~ My friends are entertaining them, and they don’t seem to be getting along great… However, that’s not my concern.
All I need to do is entertain you. Are there any others?”
“No, it’s just the three of us.”
“Ah, it’s quite few indeed~ The marrow extracted from three Mythic Bodies shouldn’t be much… Just hoping the number of people landing over there is higher.”
Suddenly, the seemingly friendly first exchange instantly broke, leaving no room for negotiation.
Whoosh!
The suspended skull of the Dead Spirit exhaled a breath of chill.
Before long.
The temperature continued to drop based on its original basis.
It nearly reached absolute zero (-273.15°C), which is more than mere extreme cold, severely affecting the fundamental movement of matter and limiting time.
“Time Freeze”
Being the primary target and the closest, Han Dong was directly impacted by the time freeze, with no reaction at all.
The Dead Spirit woman, the source of the cold exhalation, was completely unaffected by the cold.
As the cold was breathed out,
her ice-crystal arm simultaneously extended, striking straight towards Han Dong’s face… attempting to freeze him from the skull, turning him into an ice sculpture before dealing with the other two.
At the same time,
at the door, Pope had already made slight hand motions.
He had long left a Void Mark on Han Dong, ready to pull him back when a voice emerged:
“Watch me perform.”
Pope didn’t think much; since Han Dong wanted to make a move, he gave him the chance… and directly severed the Void connection.
…
Buzz!
Visible energy had gathered at the tip of the ice-crystal fingers.
Just as it was about to touch Han Dong’s forehead.
Although trapped in the time’s cold current, Han Dong’s mouth suddenly curved upward… Haha! An eerie, cold laughter crept out from his throat.
The laughter quickly crawled into the skull of the Dead Spirit, presenting an apocalyptic scene before her eyes—a whole Frozen Land beginning to crumble, with the remaining survivors’ heads exploding like balloons.
The apocalyptic vision caused her consciousness to collapse.
The Dead Spirit woman was utterly stunned.
Taking advantage of this gap.
Mental manipulation… Whoosh!
The Truth Magic Sword, with a turbulent blade, unsheathed itself, slicing her ice-crystal body into two.
The slashed body was directly sucked into the sword’s [Singularity], completely obliterated.
Additionally.
Han Dong intentionally didn’t attack the skull in the air.
Under the effect of the “Doomsday Joke,” the skull was almost helpless, suffering… Cracks signifying disintegration appeared on its surface.
In the extreme chill, Han Dong nonchalantly tilted his head.
“Pope, any way to seal this guy’s head… might uncover some crucial clues.”
Though Pope marveled at Han Dong’s performance, he maintained a calm expression, saying:
“Didn’t the teacher give you one?”
“Oh!”
A rather cute “Void Bubble” was held in Han Dong’s hand,
throwing the skull into it as a ‘clue,’ immediately restoring calm to the area.
“Tss, it’s really cold…”
Han Dong shivered after completing all this.
Standing up, stretching his body, he said with a hint of helplessness:
“Sigh~ I was originally planning to shift the conflict to another team of invaders, temporarily allying with these guys.
Could’ve cooperatively eliminated the mysterious team with these natives, and taken the chance to understand the true nature of these Ancient Demons… Who knew, they intended to kill us from the start, leaving no room for negotiation.”
“Quite normal, Dead Spirits treat Demons with such hostility.
Moreover, these beings have drifted through dimensions for God knows how long, experiencing too many events that broke their spirits… The fact they didn’t pounce on us right away is already good.
By the way, Nicholas, how did you manage to resist the ‘Time Freeze’?”
“If I had suddenly encountered the extreme cold from before in a normal temperature environment, I might’ve failed to react… But the environment here was already cold, my body was continually accepting and adapting.
Besides, I’ve seen many uses of [Time] at the Vice Principal’s place.
Though differently expressed, the essence remains the same, and it doesn’t significantly hamper my movements.”
Everyone checked the current bunker before continuing deeper into the Frozen Land.
Meanwhile, the strength Han Dong displayed subtly stimulated Eugenes and Pope…
…
On the other side of the [Frozen Land].
Inside a similar small bunker.
Scattered burnt matchsticks lay everywhere, along with completely melted ice crystals and a stepped on skull.
And within their team, an Engineer also melted as the temperature rose.
“The creatures here are a bit odd, let’s slow down a little for the following progress… Engineers at the end will be guarded by me; try to minimize further casualties.
We need to disassemble the core relics here and bring them back to B.B.C.”
