Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 364: The Construction of Team Two
After turning into an Abyssal Devil Duck, the platypus was a little confused.
It only felt a surge of crazy fighting consciousness flooding its mind.
Very overwhelming.
Its eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and its own will was fighting against another will.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
The will and memories from the Abyssal Devil Duck were constantly eroding the platypus, wanting it to defeat all enemies in front of it.
The intense fighting spirit made the platypus feel hot all over.
However, the platypus's own will remained calm, trying to fight against the Abyssal Devil Duck's will.
Cannot quack!!!
Cannot fight, quack!
There are too many of them, can't beat them, quack.
Will be used for soup, quack.
Fight fight fight!!
Cannot quack!
The two wills constantly fought against each other…
At this critical moment, a basin of cold water poured down from the sky, instantly sobering the platypus, its round eyes widening in confusion.
After summoning the platypus back with a stream of purified water, Can Baby directly pressed its hand on the ground. The next moment, Plant Control activated, and tough vines tightly bound the platypus.
Eleven, still feeling it wasn't secure enough, also pressed its hand on the ground, and a black cage immediately formed on the ground, imprisoning the platypus.
In an instant, the platypus became a duck in a cage.
Inside the cage, the platypus looked around: (ಥ_ಥ)?
Wait a minute, quack… what's going on, quack…
"Abyssal Sea…"
"Demigod Overlord…"
At this moment, Shi Yu, Eleven, and Su Su were solemnly and cautiously staring at the platypus.
The platypus, looking at Shi Yu and his party staring at it with a "facing a formidable enemy" look, only felt like a duck sitting at home, and the pot fell from the sky.
It hadn't even figured out what was going on.
It was clearly these people who trespassed on its territory, and it just wanted to drive them away.
As a result, not only was it captured, but it was also repeatedly deceived!
Clearly, at first, they said they were good people, but then they immediately went back on their word, not acknowledging the duck; is there such a thing!
"You… are the Demigod Overlord of the Abyssal Sea, the Abyssal Devil Duck!" Shi Yu said.
"Quack!!! (I'm not, I didn't, what's going on, quack.)"
The platypus struggled frantically, feeling that the power and memories from just now were a bit inexplicable.
Now, it was also a little scared, because it almost had its will devoured just now.
Almost directly turned into duck soup.
"Denial is useless." Shi Yu started discussing with Eleven and the others about how to deal with the platypus.
Guess it should be used for soup.
This made the platypus in the cage next to them feel its heart turn cold.
Immediately afterwards, it was filled with soaring anger.
These people were definitely not good people.
"Quack!! (Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young duck!)" It let out its final roar.
Shi Yu and the others decisively ignored it; there was definitely no way they would give this guy thirty years to grow.
By then, becoming an Abyssal Demigod, who could stop it?
Hmm… 30 years… how come it feels like Su Su could become a Mythical creature by then.
"Abyssal Devil Duck…"
"Wait a minute…"
At this moment, Shi Yu and the others were investigating information about the Western Abyssal Sea.
Suddenly, Lin spoke up quickly.
Abyssal Sea.
This was a super ocean force that, like Dragon Palace City, had been passed down from the Mythical Era. However, it was the villainous side.
Moreover, it was a major villain that had been destroyed many times, yet could not be completely eradicated.
Although the Abyssal Sea was occasionally destroyed by the Sea Sprite, the Abyssal Sea's legacy had never been broken.
Every so often, the Abyssal Sea would give birth to a new Demigod Overlord.
Therefore, the Abyssal Sea's Demigod Overlords, like the Dragon Gods of Dragon Palace City, were numerous.
Just now, Shi Yu and the others were using the First Bureau Illustrated Handbook to search for information about the Abyssal Sea.
The First Bureau Illustrated Handbook recorded totem information from all over the world, including ancient and modern, both domestic and foreign. Even information about some ancient totems was recorded.
Among them, regarding the Abyssal Sea's Demigod Overlords, the First Bureau Illustrated Handbook recorded four, corresponding to different periods. The earliest could be traced back hundreds of thousands of years.
To Shi Yu and the others' surprise, the Abyssal Devil Duck happened to be in the records.
"Abyssal Devil Duck, one of the Abyssal Sea's past overlords, and also the most peculiar overlord within the scope of research…" Lin said quickly.
"According to investigations, the resurrected Abyssal Sea has always been destroyed by the Sea Sprite…"
"But only when the Abyssal Devil Duck was overlord… was it not destroyed by the Sea Sprite."
"The Abyssal Devil Duck, it is said, was originally just an ordinary platypus. Because it wanted to become stronger, it resolutely threw itself into darkness. When all aquatic creatures avoided the Abyssal Sea's contaminating revival, afraid of being infected into irrational monsters, it took the initiative to contact the pollution and radiation, obtaining the power of the Abyssal Sea Evil God, allowing itself to complete its mutation."
"Furthermore, for some unknown reason, it did not completely fall into madness and lose its mind, but perfectly mastered this power. However, it did not leave the Abyssal Sea because of this, but used this power to start fighting crazily, honing itself. In the end, it only took less than a hundred years to become a Demigod Overlord, unifying the Abyssal Sea's demons…"
"Becoming the strongest totem in the ocean at the time, the well-deserved Ocean Totem King."
"And then there was a problem… Generally speaking, the ultimate goal of the Abyssal Sea is to pollute the entire ocean, turning the entire ocean into the Abyssal Sea's territory. However, because when the Abyssal Devil Duck was in power, the Sea Sprite's reincarnation had not yet grown into a Demigod, and the Sea Sprite had not yet appeared, the Abyssal Devil Duck ordered its subordinates to stop expanding, feeling that conquering the sea by taking advantage of others was too unchallenging, wanting to wait for the Sea Sprite to reappear. According to rumors, compared to conquering, it preferred fighting, enjoying fighting with strong opponents. It was willing to wait for the Sea Sprite to reappear."
"However, the Abyssal Devil Duck seemed to be unable to stay idle, so it turned its attention to the land… planning to expand the land into the sea before conquering the sea, completing an even greater goal. At the same time, this would allow it to challenge more strong opponents."
"As a result, the Abyssal Sea, along with the Abyssal Devil Duck, was destroyed by the land forces."
"It is said that because they left the ocean's home field, their combat power on land was greatly reduced. The Abyssal Devil Duck stubbornly refused to give up, and was eventually wiped out in one fell swoop."
Shi Yu, Su Su:…
The pets:…
Damn, is this Abyssal Devil Duck stupid?
Even Overlord-level pets know to fight on their home field and not leave their territory. You haven't conquered the ocean properly, yet you're going to expand the ocean to conquer the land; what kind of operation is that?
"What is your dream?"
Shi Yu and the others were just having an encrypted conversation that the platypus couldn't understand. Because he was too curious about the duck, Shi Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at the platypus, which had a look of grief and indignation, wanting to confirm again.
"Quack!! (I didn't expect that before I had time to turn the land into the sea, I would be hanging up, quack.)" Duck Duck was angry.
The reason it was so wary of Shi Yu and the others approaching its lake was because it had an even bigger dream!
To expand the entire land into its own territory!
Its territorial consciousness was exceptionally strong.
Shi Yu: "…"
Damn, it's definitely the reincarnation of the Abyssal Devil Duck, no question about it.
The Abyssal Devil Duck probably didn't really die when it came to conquer the land, but managed to escape from the hands of the land's demigods. However, it was already on the verge of death and could only be forced to reincarnate.
Then, it reincarnated on Seven Islands… becoming a platypus?
However, the platypus's dream felt a bit familiar…
Wait, didn't that Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex also want to expand the land, conquer the sea, turn everything into earth, and become the Overlord of the Earth?…
Shi Yu never expected that a dignified Abyssal Sea Demigod Overlord would be at the same intelligence level as a basic intelligent Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Shi Yu dragged Eleven and the others into a circle again and started discussing.
"What do you think?"
"Although the Abyssal Devil Duck is the only recorded Abyssal Overlord who has not fallen into madness, this only means it is a greater threat…" Lin analyzed.
It's a battle maniac, and it covets the land too. This threat is obviously greater than other Abyssal Demigods.
If it were to awaken its past life's power and memories, both the ocean and the land would probably be in great chaos again…
"Awoo. (I don't eat.)" After Lin finished analyzing, Eleven said it didn't like eating ducks.
Growing up, the only "life form" that had moved Eleven's heart, besides Can Baby, had not yet appeared.
Chong Chong and Can Baby also shook their heads, saying they didn't like eating ducks.
Gu 澌 </span>“Me! (Otherwise, chop it up?)” Chi Tong requested to fight, so that not only could it freeload the Abyssal Devil Duck's undead puppet, but its flesh could also be kept for stewing soup, one duck for multiple uses.
"Ning!!!" Su Su quickly shook Chi Tong, telling it not to be impulsive.
"Ning…" Su Su looked at Shi Yu, feeling that Duck Duck did not deserve to die.
Although it was startled at first, would it be inappropriate to deny a life that had not yet done anything wrong using its past life's identity?
"Mm." Su Su's words made Shi Yu nod.
After he also calmed down, Su Su's point of view was the most in line with his thoughts.
"Ning!" Su Su then said.
Otherwise, how about letting it try to purify the Abyssal Duck God into a good duck?
When the Abyssal Sea makes a comeback, Duck Duck can continue to take on the Abyssal Sea legacy, to continue serving as the Abyssal Sea overlord. She and Duck Duck could work together from the inside and outside to cut off the Abyssal Sea from its "root"! five816○.net
"Emmm." The corners of Shi Yu's mouth twitched.
He always felt that he came to find the Void Emperor's remains, but in the end, things were developing in a strange direction.
He looked back at the platypus, which was tragically biting on the vines.
After thinking about it, Shi Yu said: "The platypus being the Abyssal Sea Overlord is also something from its past life."
"We also just looked at its memory experience. From birth until now, it hasn't even attacked humans. So, it's still a good duck."
"Directly erasing its current self based on its past life's identity is indeed a bit immoral. After all, from the looks of it now, it and the Abyssal Devil Duck are not the same thing at all."
"Ning!!" Su Su very much agreed. As a reincarnated body, it also didn't like its companions using the Sea Sprite identity to look at it. It was not the same as the Sea Sprite either. It wanted to become a Star Sea Sprite…!
"Let's do as Su Su said. We just need to keep an eye on it. A duck with Overlord potential would be a pity to just stew." Shi Yu said.
"Should we form a contract?!" Lin asked.
"No contract, no stat points. We'll lock it up with the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex and let it roam free!" Shi Yu said.
Although the platypus isn't equal to the Abyssal Devil Duck now, there's still some risk in raising it.
Whether it's forming a contract or adding stat points, there are risks.
If the platypus gets too strong too quickly, it might suddenly regain its past life's memories, which could cause too much destruction.
And with a contract… Shi Yu couldn't guarantee whether a reincarnated Abyssal Demigod had mastered any methods to backfire on Beast Tamers.
So letting it roam free in the relic space is the least risky. This way, the platypus can be monitored by them at any time. There's no possibility of it being occupied by the Abyssal Devil Duck's will. Moreover, by controlling its speed of growth, even if Duck Duck's will is occupied by its past life, they can immediately solve it.
"Just like the Void Emperor's Void Mantis, we'll train it as part of the second team!" Shi Yu said. "Relying on its original potential, it shouldn't be difficult for it to grow up quickly."
"However, its growth speed will definitely be slower than Su Su's. This way, we can always keep the danger within a controllable range."
"When it's one day able to ignore the influence of the Abyssal Devil Duck, break free from the other party, control the other party, and live its own life, then we'll give it freedom. For now, be a good errand runner and experimental material!"
"Ning!!!" Su Su's eyes lit up, guaranteeing to purify the platypus into a good duck.
When the time comes, they'll work together from the inside and the outside to counterattack the Abyssal Sea!
"Oink…" "Umm…" "Ee…"
The other pets looked at each other, falling into deep thought, instantly imagining a scene.
When the Abyssal Sea revives again, under the leadership of the Abyssal Devil Duck, Duck God, they are preparing to fight a life-or-death battle with the Sea Sprite's guardian. But, with a *smack*, the Abyssal Devil Duck directly leads a rebellion… becoming the Sea Sprite's number one lackey.
Abyssal Sea: Your Majesty, why are you rebelling?
"Quack—"
While Shi Yu and the others had no good intentions, the opposite side once again transmitted Duck Duck's miserable cry.
"Quack—— (If you want to kill me or stew me, give me a quick death!)"
*Whoosh*.
Seeing this, Eleven and Can Baby directly released the binding and the cage, leaving Duck Duck staring with wide eyes, not understanding what was happening.
"Cough." Shi Yu looked at it with a serious expression, saying: "Just like what you experienced, there's an evil existence that wants to seize you and replace your will. It's our real enemy, and your enemy too. You don't want to become its puppet, do you?"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"In that case, how about we help you become stronger and get rid of it?"
Shi Yu reached out his hand, saying: "From today onwards, we are comrades."
"Awoo!" "Umm!" "Ee!" "Me!" "Ning!" "Mm…"
Platypus: ???
Looking at these people who had suddenly changed their faces again, Duck Duck fell into deep thought.
Although it didn't know what was going on, it seemed that it didn't have to die, quack.
…………
Next, Shi Yu and the others deceived the platypus for several hours.
Throughout the whole process, Duck Duck's expression was particularly serious.
Shi Yu was right in the beginning. Even if the platypus really was the reincarnated body of the Abyssal Devil Duck, so what? As an independent will, who would want their past life's will to replace their current self?
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't recognize their past self as their current self.
This was also why the Sea Sprite's legacy mechanism only passed on the will to protect the sea and the race's skills, and did not pass on memories.
Of course, this was only the Sea Sprite's legacy mechanism. It didn't mean that all pets would start over after reincarnation. Like Chong Xuan, he said that he might awaken his memories after reincarnation. And the Undead Nether Phoenix was also considered a reincarnated body. It also retained its memories.
Therefore, Shi Yu and the others couldn't say for sure whether Duck Duck would awaken the Abyssal Devil Duck's memories later.
And from the platypus's perspective, it was very unwilling to let any Abyssal Devil Duck replace it. So, although it had experienced a period of humiliation in Shi Yu and the others' hands, after several hours of brainwashing, the platypus understood.
At the end of the day, it would definitely be stewed if it didn't listen.
So it chose to cultivate with Shi Yu and the others, striving to control its own destiny in its own hands!
"Not bad!"
Seeing that the platypus was so cooperative, Shi Yu was very satisfied. From today onwards, Duck Duck was a member of his team's second squad!
Well, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex had also been working hard for so long. Plus, it might have to be studied for a period of time, and a lot of resources had been invested. So, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex could also be considered one of the members of the second squad.
Shi Yu didn't plan to form a contract with them or add stat points for the time being. However, he would use other methods to help them grow.
The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex would naturally grow, become stronger, and evolve through continuous mechanical experiments.
As for the platypus, the process of growth was the process of continuously controlling the power of the Abyssal Devil Duck from its past life.
The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex's upper limit for growth depended on Lin's upper limit, while the platypus's upper limit for growth was at the Demigod level. So, in the end, the potential of the two of them was probably not that far off.
Shi Yu felt particularly good after deciding to set up a second squad. Okay, the team was going to be lively again. The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex was finally going to have a companion. Otherwise, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex had always been out of tune with the other pets. Shi Yu felt a bit sorry about it.
Now that's good. It can make friends.
It was indeed lively…
As fellow members of the second squad, the platypus's residence was built by Shi Yu and the others next to the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex's residence.
Perhaps it was because their personalities clashed, or perhaps it was because they had fought just now, the two pets were particularly hostile when they met.
"Roar!!! (I am the Overlord of the Earth!!)"
"Quack!!! (The Earth? The Earth belongs to the Ocean!!)" The platypus, wearing the translator that Lin gave it, glared angrily. It finally knew what this thing was saying. No wonder it found this thing so unpleasant.
The platypus's territorial consciousness was very strong. Influenced by its past life's will, its current biggest obsession seemed to be transforming the Earth into its own territory, a water domain territory…
*Buzz*!
*Whoosh*!
An earth-yellow blade and a water-blue blade were condensed by the two pets.
"Roar!! (Sword of Void Severance!)"
"Quack!! (Blade of Flowing Water!!!)"
*Boom*!!!
In the distance, a cloud of smoke rose up.
Shi Yu fell into deep thought: "They're really getting along well. Lin, keep an eye on the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex. Su Su, keep an eye on the platypus… just don't cause any trouble."
"Received!" Lin nodded.
"Ning!!" Su Su also nodded.
Rather than calling it Shi Yu's second squad, it was more like Lin and Su Su taking in little brothers.
An Ancient Phantom Beast species little brother, an Abyssal Demigod little brother… Nearby, Eleven, Chong Chong, Chi Tong, and Can Baby revealed envious expressions.
Clone skills and little brothers with their own will felt different.
"Me!!" After thinking about it, Chi Tong decided that it would cut down an undead puppet that retained its will later, to serve as its follower, and join the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex and Abyssal Devil Duck's big family.
"Ee—"
Can Baby pondered for a moment, then shook its head. Never mind, never mind. It should still work hard to become the number one in the team first. When the time comes, it'll just let Chong Chong be its little brother, which would be able to form a dimensionality reduction strike against Su Su and Lin.
"Oink!" Eleven also looked at Chong Chong, with the same thought. What little brother could be more useful and have more functionality than a tool Chong Chong?
Chong Chong: ???
Bastards!! It's in the first squad!! Don't even think about squeezing it into the second squad!!
