Chapter 164: Super Powerhouse
[Beastify Nation.]
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Josephine, lost in thought, turned her head toward the sound. "Come in."
Blood Eye entered, her movements silent and respectful. "The King is back, and he has called for everyone," she said, her voice a low murmur.
Josephine nodded slowly, her gaze returning to the object that held her complete attention. "How’s the situation with Lola?" she asked.
"I don’t know, but it seems everything went well," Blood Eye replied, her eyes drawn to the strange, shimmering egg on the table. Its presence was captivating, almost hypnotic.
"Thanks... I’ll be out in a minute." Josephine said, a hint of dismissal in her tone.
Blood Eye bowed again and quietly exited the room, closing the door behind her.
"What should I do with you?" Josephine’s voice was a soft whisper. She reached out, her fingers hovering just above the egg’s surface. A faint warmth emanated from it, a feeling of deep connection that she couldn’t explain.
"Infinite," she murmured.
Josephine stood, carefully storing the egg in her spatial storage. "I will find some use for you," she vowed, her determination firm. With a final glance at the empty table, she walked out of the room.

Sunny stood at the center of the city, a quiet, commanding presence. A massive circle of citizens had formed around him, their faces a mix of confusion and anticipation.
Behind him, his five subordinates—Nioh, Blood Eye, Nicolas, Star, and Jinx—stood in a line, a unified front of power. Ellen stood to his right, her expression as unreadable as ever.
"I hope I’m not late?"
Sunny looked over his shoulder as the crowd parted to reveal Josephine. She stopped beside Ellen, placing her between them.
"Not at all," Sunny said with a warm smile, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before settling on the patch of prepared soil in front of him.
The citizens watched in confusion as he produced a small, unassuming seed. He knelt, digging a tiny hole in the soil, and carefully placed the seed inside, burying it with his fingers.
"What is the King doing?" a man asked, his voice echoing the general confusion.
"I don’t know... He wouldn’t call all of us here just to plant a seed, right?" another responded, his frown deepening.
"No... there must be something else going on," a third person insisted.
"Yes, the King always surprises us. He might once again do it," a woman added, her voice filled with hope.
Mila, listening to the murmurs, felt a sense of unease. Her own confusion was a weight in her stomach. What was Sunny’s plan?
Sunny stood and snapped his fingers. The Blood Queen’s sword, materialized before him. A dense, suffocating aura of bloodlust emanated from it, causing the commoners to shiver and take a step back in fear.
"Such a terrifying weapon!" someone whispered in horror.
"A god-rank sword?!" Mila’s mind reeled.
"Mother... is that a god-rank weapon?" Rose, who stood beside her, asked in awe.
"Yes... but that weapon is filled with dark energies... It is purely evil," Mila nodded, her expression unreadable.
Sunny raised the sword into the air, his spirit energy flowing into it. With a silent command, the weapon dissolved into a cloud of red particles. The countless specks of red light flew out and descended into the soil.
He snapped his fingers again, and the sword he had taken from Richard appeared.
"Another god-rank weapon?!" Mila’s mind went blank. The audacity was breathtaking.
Sunny repeated the action, destroying the weapon and allowing the seed to absorb its energy.
"My Queen, bring the first armor I bought for you," Sunny said, not looking back.
Josephine nodded, a silent acknowledgment of his request. She walked towards him, her brow furrowed in mild confusion. "What is all this?" she asked, her gaze searching his face for answers.
"Extra protection for our nation," Sunny replied simply. It was all the explanation Josephine needed. She brought out her grand-class equipment and placed it before the soil. In an instant, the armor dissolved and was absorbed into the ground.
"This?" She turned to Sunny in surprise, her eyes wide.
"The more powerful equipment it absorbs, the stronger it will get... but only things linked with me or you, or any pure energy. The two swords weren’t linked with anyone, so I destroyed them for the seedling to absorb the pure energy. The red sword once had an owner, but the connection was destroyed, while the second didn’t have any owner," Sunny explained calmly.
Josephine slowly nodded in understanding, a new idea taking root in her mind.
’What if I give it the egg...? If this thing absorbs Infinite, its powers will greatly increase.’ She hesitated for a few seconds, then brought the egg out of her spatial storage.
Sunny watched her action, seeing her hesitation. "You can keep it. We have other things to power up the seedling," he said.
Josephine sighed in relief, her gaze fixed on the egg in her palms. "I... I just can’t. I feel like this egg has a connection with me." She turned to Sunny, her eyes meeting his.
"With us," she corrected.
Sunny raised an eyebrow and scanned the egg with his system. The information that flooded his mind was staggering.

{There are two ways to hatch the egg: Place it in a Divine fountain... [Note: Can only be found in the world higher than the Great world -The Supreme World].}
{Second way: Master’s rank is too low. [Note: Master must enter the First order to know this way].}
Sunny blinked, his mind reeling. ’My god... whatever is in this egg is a super powerhouse! The system’s upgrade unlocked so much information... and even gives hints... but, what is the second way?’ He looked at the egg again.
’If I feed this egg to Yggdrasil, this seedling will be more terrifying than the one on Planet Gaia... If I destroy it... What am I saying, this thing is completely invincible.’ He took a slow, deep breath.
"Keep it... It is too valuable," he said, his voice laced with a new understanding of the object’s power.
Josephine smiled in relief, and a wave of warmth, unlike anything she had ever felt, flowed from the egg into her body.
{Alert!!!}
{Mate’s received a blessing from Infinite.}
{Blessing: Health expansion: Mate’s health point have been risen to a terrifying level!!}
’Wait... For the system to add the word "terrifying"...’ Sunny took another deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest.
’Show me her health point.’
What Sunny saw next froze him in place. ’You’ve got to be kidding me! An egg caused this!!!’
