Chapter 573: The Three Sources Of The Universe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What’s going on?”
Delta stared blankly at the fused elf behind her, unable to speak for a long time. She thought that she had seen a lot of things, but she had never seen any magic that could turn a few people into one. That was beyond the scope of magic and was close to witchcraft.
She subconsciously looked at King Landhar III beside her. She did not understand what magic had caused him to become like that, but she understood then. She had been very confident in her magic resistance, but she became uncertain in the face of Watson’s unknown magic.
“Tell me, what are the elves planning?”
Watson asked the newly-fused elf. “Since I’ve fused you, it’s not appropriate for you to not have a name. From now on, you’ll be called Claudia.”
“Yes, my honorable master.” The fused elf revealed a joyful expression. It was obvious that she liked that name very much.
“Other than sending assassins like us, the elves also used the supernatural evolution power contained in the race chess pieces to evolve. Now, they would have also evolved their weapons. I believe that it won’t be long before a group of terrifying and deformed monsters appear in the Elven Kingdom. His Majesty wants us to attack the fortress city. It would be best if we could capture you and threaten the Holy Dragon Kingdom. If we can’t capture you, we should try our best to destroy this place until the next army arrives.”
Claudia explained the Elven King’s plan while Watson turned his gaze to Nia. “What is supernatural evolution?”
The elven race chess pieces’ power was obviously different from that of the human race. As the former King of Angels, Nia should be very familiar with that problem.
“If you want to explain the elven race chess pieces’ power, you’ll have to start with the three sources that the world contained when it was first created! When the world was created, three completely different sources appeared. They are called the material source, the life source, and the energy source. The material source includes the ability to accelerate and decelerate molecules. The supernatural evolution of the elven race chess pieces belongs to the life source, allowing creatures to break through the boundaries of normalcy.
“Supernatural evolution can allow any race to evolve in a stronger direction. That kind of evolution has no restrictions and is very random. For example, an ant covered in that power can turn into a dragon, or it can also become a giant, a phoenix, and other mythical creatures! As for the energy source, the various sources of magic in the world belong to the energy source. In ancient times, some race chess pieces were able to create specific sources of magic.”
“Three sources? That is the first time I’ve heard such a statement.” Watson’s eyes lit up as he listened to Nia’s explanation.
“The three sources are the foundation of the universe. All the races in the world are manifested from those three sources. The sovereign tier’s energy source is part of the combined power of the three sources. It is said that whoever can gather one of the three sources can dominate everything. If one can gather all three sources, they can dominate everything and restart the universe! Because of that theory, the gods of ancient times fought each other and started a war between the races.”
“I see.”
Watson nodded. That was the first time he understood the truth of the ancient war. It turned out that the powerful gods had the same worries as humans. The gods were not the end of cultivation. There was still a long way to go. Of course, that was still too far ahead. After all, he was not even a god.
‘Since I understand the elves’ plan and the power of supernatural evolution, I can’t just ignore it. That ability is not much better than my fusion system. If I let the elves use it, it would be too dangerous! I’ll leave that task to Claudia. The elves sent assassins to create trouble in the human cities. I’ll use the same method to return the favor.’
Watson was thinking about how to deal with the elves. He turned to look at Delta and said, “I think Claudia is enough to sneak into the Elven Kingdom. As for you—”
“Young Master Watson, the Elven Kingdom is heavily guarded. I’m afraid it’s not enough to use you to create the elves. If they interrogate you, your identity might be exposed. You might as well bring me along. As the subordinate of the eighth Elder, Daphne, I have special privileges in the Elven Kingdom. I can bring a few unfamiliar faces back with me.”
Delta hurriedly spoke, her tone completely different from before. After witnessing Watson’s fusion technique, she could not help but tremble even if she was determined. She did not want to be like her fellow elves—fused by Watson and become his slave.
“Just bringing me into the Elven Kingdom is not enough for me to let you go.” Watson rubbed his chin and deliberately showed a hesitant attitude. Delta gritted her teeth. She seemed to have thought of something and took out a transparent container from her bosom. Inside the container was a ball of dark, viscous liquid. On the surface of the liquid were scarlet eyes that were half-opened and half-closed.
“What is that?”
“This is something that King Landhar III gave me. He said that it is a treasure that contains the power of a starlight-tier elite and can allow me to break through the enchantment outside the planetary fortress! Now, I don’t need it anymore. I’m willing to offer it to you, Young Master Watson. I wonder if you are willing to let me go.”
Watson did not respond to Delta’s words. He just stared at the container in front of him as the information appeared in his eyes.
[Starlight-tier material: the Primordial Demoness’ remains]
[Effect: This is a God’s Remains that contains the Primordial Demoness’ power. After using it, you can obtain a portion of her power.]
[Additional effect: the Primordial Demoness controls the Yin energy in the universe. It can open the yin energy source after accumulating it to a certain extent.]
“Who would have thought that after King Landhar III annihilated the Demoness Church, they would still keep such treasures? I wonder how many similar things are left behind.”
That was why Watson did not want to fuse King Landhar III. No one knew what he was hiding. If it were not for Delta, he would not have discovered the remains of the Primordial Demoness.
“King Landhar III, how many treasures do you have? Tell me honestly. ” Watson held the remains of the Primordial Demoness as he asked King Landhar III.
“My honorable master, I don’t have that many treasures.” As King Landhar III responded, he took out a few transparent containers filled with black liquid of different colors. “Those are the remains of the seven gods that I collected. I wonder if they can be considered treasures. Other than the remains of those gods, I also have some holy relics excavated from ancient ruins. Can those be regarded as treasures? Oh, right, I still have a thousand gold coins and a few pieces of jewelry…”
Seeing that King Landhar III was chattering non-stop as if he wanted to tell him everything he had, Watson waved his hand. “There’s no need to tell me about those. When we return to the royal city, I hope you can make a list of all your assets and hand it to me! As for now, you can give me the remains of those gods.”
The only things that seemed useful to him were the remains of those gods. Typically, those remains were formed from the energy left after the gods died. They were given to King Landhar III by the original seven gods of the kingdom to protect him.
As he held the remains of seven different gods with the remains of the Primordial Demoness, Watson activated the fusion system with the remains of the Primordial Demoness as the core.
“Fusion system, activate.”
