Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 606
Chapter 606: Silver-Eyed Boy
In the beginning, the body lying in the medical cabin was so thin that only a skeleton was left. Even if it looked vastly different from Saber Jin Wanhao when he was at his peak, it did not attract the Vortex’s suspicion.
After all, this was the “grave” Jin Wanhao had personally built for himself.
Based on what Su Lun said, he shut himself in here a few months ago, and the door was constantly monitored. Even a rat could not escape or crawl inside.
The only person who could possibly lie in the medical cabin was Sabin Jin Wanhao, no one else.
But now, once the Vortex had filled up the body based on its blood vessel distribution and muscle alignment, it sensed that this person looked vastly different.
Jin Wanhao had a square face and could be said to be quite handsome. During his prime, he also had a mighty beard, and his title as the Underground Emperor was given to him due to his authority and also his elegance.
But the person the Vortex occupied had a triangle face. He also looked sleazy and ugly.
Besides, even though Jin Wanhao was heavily wounded, his injuries were mainly hidden, and he sunk into a deep coma due to the blood vessels in his brain bursting and multiple organs failing.
But all this person’s joints showed signs of comminuted fractures, as if he had been disabled by someone using severe methods and was trapped here.
The Vortex knew very clearly that Jin Wanhao had never suffered such major damage.
There were only a few people who could injure the Underground Emperor in Dragon City.
Besides, this person’s physical strength was much weaker than that of someone at Jin Wanhao’s level. After all, Saber Jin Wanhao was once a powerful person who stood at the same rank as Battle God Lei Zongchao, so no matter how old and weak he had become, the activity in his cells should not be this low.
“Just who is this?!”
The Vortex knew that what was supposed to belong to it was now gone from its hands, and it was so angry that it started fuming and screeching at the top of its lungs.
However, it immediately realized that there was an even more important problem. Compared to who this person was, the more pressing question was, “If this person isn’t Jin Wanhao, then where is the real Jin Wanhao?”
This fatal question made the Vortex shudder. Its pupils shrank, and all its hair stood on end.
Even its semi-transparent liquid seeped out of the body’s pores and enveloped the body to form a layer of sharp needles, so the human seemed to be covered in armor.
But it was still a step too late.
Just when it shrank its muscles and bones and wanted to jump out of the medical cabin, with a loud shick, a crystal crossbow bolt used to hunt large monsters shot from behind and pierced the body’s heart. Then, it came out of its chest.
The crossbow bolt was as thick as a bowl and at least 1m long. It was made specifically by monster coliseums, monster research centers, and other places to capture monsters alive.
Even though it was a cold weapon, with the help from crystals and runic symbols, it could gain speed and power that did not lose to an armor-piercing shell.
Besides, there were barbs on the arrow shaft. The arrowhead could even split up and bend backward to form an anchor.
After piercing through the prey, it would lodge firmly in the prey’s limb, so even if the creature weighed dozens of tons, it would have a hard time breaking free despite having a body that was even tougher than a tank.
As expected, after the crystal crossbow bolt pierced the Vortex’s chest, four barbs immediately shot out from within it to lodge itself in its ribs and thorax. Then, it started dragging it back.
The Vortex had just possessed the body, so it had yet to perfectly connect with the blood vessels and nerves.
Besides, the body had never been strong. Multiple organ failure was not the main issue, but that after the elbows, knees, and hip joints were shattered, they were healed carelessly. So, unless the Vortex destroyed its limbs and reconnected them, it could not summon any strength at all.
Even if it had the power of a Supernatural Entity, it could not bring forth any fighting strength in a broken body.
Hence, the Vortex was caught off guard and dragged into the gene medicine by the crystal crossbow bolt.
Sizzzzzzzzzzzzzzleeeeeeeeeee!
The gene medicine was instantly connected with powerful electricity. It electrocuted the Vortex so badly that it screeched in terror.
The Vortex struggled with all its might and finally snapped the crossbow bolt. It dragged its steaming body out of the medical cabin in a pathetic manner.
Then, it heard an ominous buzz. The dozens of mechanical arms around it brought out bone drills, bone saws, steel claws, steel needles, and other medical equipment to attack it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Vortex could not possibly fight against these things, so half of its head was immediately sliced off.
A wound so deep that the bone could be seen was left on its left collarbone, and it went straight to its chest, causing its left arm to sag down in a grotesque fashion. It almost touched the floor.
“Ah!”
Any other normal human would die when their brain was exposed.
The Vortex did not, but it was in great pain. A lot of fluid seeped out of the wound to glue the broken parts together.
“Just who?”
The Vortex felt humiliated and angry. It looked at the center of the swinging mechanical arms and saw an inconspicuous boy in a cloak. His hair was a mess, and he was very small.
He was clearly dressed like any other boy of no significance in the lair, but he stood out due to his silver eye and the evil-looking teeth that jutted out of his lips.
The boy coolly observed the Vortex.
Even if he saw that half of the Vortex’s skull was cut off, and a large amount of semi-transparent fluid oozed out of it, he showed no sign of surprise or alarm.
On the contrary, the Vortex saw great interest shining in the silver eye.
It could not stand the feeling of being treated like prey or researched like some interesting test subject. It was humiliating and much more unbearable than the pain of its body being torn apart.
The Vortex howled madly.
Since it was livid, the flesh on the sides of its mouth and the fascia were all torn up. Its lips stretched all the way to its ears, and he looked just as terrifying as a hungry ghost.
Then, something bizarre happened.
The Vortex faced the mechanical arms and tossed its limbs toward them.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The rapidly spinning bone saws on the mechanical arms instantly sawed off its limbs.
The whole body was cut into pieces.
But what was terrifying about this was that a large amount of semi-transparent liquid gushed out of the severed parts. They acted like strings and connected the severed corpse together.
Because of it, the Vortex’s limbs instantly became five times longer.
Also, now that it was free from the restraints of its limbs, it could swing them like a chain saber or a morningstar, which allowed it to make its limbs travel in bizarre trajectories.
The Vortex pulled open its bloody mouth and flashed the boy the most hideous smirk. In a ghastly and horrifying voice, it said, “I don’t care who you are, but I’m… going to eat you!”
The silver-eyed boy frowned a little, but there was only aloofness and disdain in his eyes.
He snapped his fingers.
It was as if his fingers were connected to invisible strings, and the mechanical arms in the room began to dance in an agile and fierce rhythm.
The dozens of mechanical arms turned into hundreds of afterimages and left behind hundreds of terrifying wounds on the Vortex.
Unfortunately, the body was not the Vortex’s true form.
Besides, it could change its true form however it wanted, and it was incredibly soft. Even if it was torn apart by the bone saws and bone drills, it could instantly reassemble itself.
The silver-eyed boy controlled the mechanical arms and tore up the body it was attached to even more.
But it just allowed the Vortex to better display its might as a mollusca.
The worst thing was that the mechanical arms were not offensive weapons. They were highly sophisticated medical equipment used to carry out surgeries.
Operating at such high intensity and speed was above their limits. The mechanical parts started smoking and sparking. After a series of piercing sounds, they slowed down. Some even broke down.
The Vortex let out a grating laugh.
It grabbed the bone saw of a mechanical arm and stabbed it into the joint of another mechanical arm. The end of this mechanical arm started letting out sparks.
Then, it yanked the mechanical arm out and rammed it into two other mechanical arms until they tilted to the side.
In an instant, dozens of mechanical arms were destroyed by the Vortex. Some hung down on their electrical and crystal cables. Some were reduced to scrap metal. Those in the best condition had gotten stuck in their sliders and twitched madly.
The Vortex’s face looked even more savage than before.
It looked like mashed flesh that had been spinning for a few hours in a grinder and was forcibly reassembled into a human-shaped mold. Only its limbs could be somewhat identified, while its facial features had flowed to its chest along with the semi-transparent liquid.
The Vortex used the mouth that was now on its chest to viciously say, “I… I’ll eat you!”
The silver-eyed boy clicked his tongue.
He looked a little surprised, as if it had been a long time since he heard someone threaten him this way.
Even though he lost the protection from the mechanical arms, he did not bat an eyelid.
Instead, he released an explosive presence, as if swinging dozens of mechanical arms like weapons was not actually his hope for winning the fight. Instead, it had been the seal restricting his strength.
Once they were gone, the seal was torn, and he could finally display himself without holding back.
When he pulled out his right arm from beneath the large cloak, the dirt that had constantly been on his arm shattered because of the spirit energy rapidly fluctuating on it. Every last speck of dust embedded in his pores was blown away and disintegrated.
Once all the dirt was gone, the silver-eyed boy’s arm had a crystalline quality, which made it look like jade.
His skin was as smooth and tender as a baby’s but a monstrous power burst out of it. Profound, complicated, and intersecting spirit tattoos also covered it.
If Meng Chao saw this, he would definitely be dumbfounded and not believe what he saw.
This was because the spirit tattoos that appeared on A’Ji’s arm were even more dazzling than Meng Chao’s own and those of Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu!
