The Death List Novel - Chapter 275

Chapter 275 Void Beast

“Come down. Even if you insist on becoming an apostle, we need to check this place first!” Qin Lun waved his hand at the little mute standing at the entrance of the space-time converter. He turned around and sized up the entire research lab. “This place is the research facility. There should be other auxiliary equipment and medicines. Let’s see if we can find anything that can help you!”

A moment later, Qin Lun had three more potions found by the little mute in his hand. These three potions were stored in a secret safe in the research lab. The safe contained a self-destructing mechanism. If it wasn’t for the little mute, he wouldn’t even be able to find them, let alone obtain them.

[Void Beast Potion: A space-time pouch extracted from a Void Beast, supplemented by a variety of soul power medicines, can effectively increase the soul energy of intelligent creatures. During a certain period of time, the body of intelligent creatures can be converted into a void constitution.]

“Void Beast Potion!” Qin Lun looked at the small needles in his palm and frowned slightly. The mercury liquid in the syringe gave him a familiar feeling. It was as if Mina, the princess of the Anka tribe, had used it to convert her apostle potion.

The floating continent was covered by the shattered starry sky. The void space between continents was no ordinary cosmic space-time, but a dimensional space. Void beasts were unique creatures that lived in this dimensional space.

Void beasts were huge, and the smallest ones were as big as hills. Large void beasts could even devour some tiny floating continents. The number of Void Beasts was very small, and normally they would not appear in front of humans. Neither the apostles nor the intelligent races knew much about them.

Everyone only knew that when the Suspended Continent was born and fell, a large number of void beasts would appear in the surrounding dimensional space. They were like cleaners in the shattered starry sky, taking the initiative to devour the fallen parts of the floating continent, keeping the dimensional space neat and tidy, so that there were no other floating meteorites around the floating continent.

To intelligent races and apostles, the Void Beast’s entire body was a treasure, an important source of materials for many spatial and temporal equipment, and also a building material for the party’s half-plane.

At the same time, whenever traces of void beasts appeared around a floating continent, everyone would know that the floating continent was about to be destroyed and would immediately choose to migrate. Therefore, the Void Beast was also known as the Fallen God of Death!

Void beasts that were active in dimensional space were not incapable of being killed. Whether it was intelligent races or apostles, they could attack Void beasts by various means. However, this kind of behavior was extremely dangerous. Once devoured by the Void Beast, even high-level apostles would undoubtedly die.

Atlantis’ Void Beast Potion originated from the beginning of the continent’s transmigration. Its reserves were extremely rare, and it was another way to convert ordinary intelligent creatures into apostles.

Ordinary people injected with Void Beast Potion would transform into Void Physique in a short period of time, allowing the Broken Star System to treat this creature as a transcendent, thus obtaining a transformation process of the Laws of the Body.

The Void Beast Potion contained medicines that enhanced soul energy, allowing ordinary people to last longer during the transformation process. However, whether or not one could become an apostle depended on the soul essence of the creature. If one did not have the ability to travel through space and time, then one would still fail in the end.

“Stretch out your arm!” Qin Lun sighed and said indifferently to the little mute.

The little mute pursed his lips, and a trace of nervousness finally appeared on his normally indifferent face. He stacked up his dirty sleeves, revealing his tiny arm that was like a reed stick.

Qin Lun expressionlessly injected a Void Beast Potion into Little Mute’s arm. Just as he finished injecting it, a flush appeared on Little Mute’s face. He staggered towards the Space-Time Converter as if he was drunk.

“Don’t die!” Qin Lun watched as the little mute walked into the space-time conversion tunnel and slapped the start button with an obscure expression.

“Boom!” The space-time transducer in the center of the research lab rumbled. The Law runes on the surface of the monster lit up one by one, giving people the feeling of an ancient beast awakening from its slumber.

The little mute staggered into the space-time transducer. His skin began to shine and turn red. His skin and muscles gradually became transparent, and his internal organs were pulsing. He was about to transform into a void constitution, and at the same time began to reconstruct the apostle’s nomological body. Whether or not he could succeed depended on his soul characteristics.

Qin Lun leaned against the steel wall and sat down. He had done everything he could, and the next step was to rely on the little mute himself.

The young man’s gaze flickered slightly, and he suddenly had a feeling. Perhaps there wasn’t even a half-plane of the Wheel of Heaven in the Dominating Battle Zone created by the Shattered Star System. The time-space transducer in front of him was probably the real purpose of the Shattered Star System.

The ten-minute countdown to the temporary hire mission given to him by the Broken Starry Sky had long since come to an end. In fact, even if there was no such thing as a little mute, Qin Lun would not carry out this mission. He felt that the price offered by the Broken Star System was too low.

There was no penalty for failing this temporary hiring mission. After all, Qin Lun was still in the midst of a hegemonic battle. If he didn’t carry out this hiring mission, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to Shatter the Starry Sky.

The relationship between the Broken Universe and the apostles was one of employment, not of master and servant. Although the so-called alien quest was equivalent to a semi-compulsory quest, it was still the price and obligation that the apostles had to pay to live in the shattered starry sky. Otherwise, they would only be excluded from the shattered starry sky by the laws of the world.

The Broken Star System was a collection of Laws. It could not erase an apostle like an intelligent creature. It could only hire an apostle to do missions according to the principle of equal balance. Apart from the main plot of the foreign missions, the other hiring missions could only bind the apostles with benefits.

Quest evaluation was raised by one level. This benefit could not be said to be small, but it depended on the situation. If Qin Lun had the ability to cross levels and perform well in a hegemonic battle, he might be able to get a silver or gold rating if he increased his mission rating by another level.

However, Qin Lun had already observed some of his abnormal strength through the surveillance cameras. He felt that no matter what he did, he would not be able to perform that way. Naturally, he was not satisfied with the conditions given by the Broken Star System. It was meaningless for the youth to upgrade from Black Iron Rank to Bronze Rank.

Therefore, Qin Lun planned to drag it out until the shattered starry sky gave him a reasonable price. Only then would he truly destroy the Space-Time Converter. He wasn’t worried that the Broken Star System would issue this temporary hire mission to the other apostles in the Battle of Hegemony.

If it was so easy to grasp the location of the Space-Time Converter in the Broken Star System, it would have already issued this mission at the beginning of the battle for supremacy. Qin Lun estimated that only when he came into contact with the space-time transformers would the shattered starry sky detect the existence of this thing. The moment he released his hand, the shattered starry sky would lose its senses.

As for the countdown to the temporary employment mission, Qin Lun believed that it was precisely because the shattered starry sky was unable to grasp the exact location of the time-space converter that he had used this tacit and forced method. Unfortunately, without any specific mission punishment, the youth completely ignored it.

Qin Lun lowered his head and silently waited for the result of the space-time transformation. Thinking back to all the events that had happened since the hegemony battle, he couldn’t help but feel that fate was destined for him in the dark.

The apostle mecha, the time-space transducer … There were more than 200 apostles in this region, but these two important things were only related to him.

If there was any reason why the Apostle Mecha would be discovered by him, then the spacetime transducer was a complete coincidence. Who would have thought that he would discover such a secret when he picked up an orphan from the Holy City on a whim?

However, when he turned around and thought about it, it seemed to be an inevitable outcome. How could an orphan who had lived in the Holy City for more than two years not have any secrets? Other than Qin Lun, who had also experienced orphans, the other apostles would probably find it hard to be interested in the little mute, so it was only natural that he would discover the time-space transformers first.

The countdown to the temporary hire mission was quickly exhausted. The Shattered Universe did not issue any follow-up missions to the Space-Time Converter. However, Qin Lun wasn’t worried. When the result of the little mute came out, he would still come into contact with the space-time transducer and see how the shattered starry sky would react.

If he really didn’t have a follow-up mission, he would at most sell the secret of the time-space converter to the Abyss Devils or the Elves after the war. Although the success rate of the time-space converter was negligible, this item was still very valuable and had an irresistible temptation to intelligent races.

Chi! Just as Qin Lun was deep in thought, the time-space converter let out the exhaust sound of the motorcycle. The runes on the runes slowly began to dim, as if the entire process of conversion had come to an end.

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he slowly stood up and walked towards the other end of the space-time converter, his mouth filled with a sense of dryness. Although the little mute had only been with him for a few days, he still had an inexplicable concern for the orphan of the Holy City.

At first, Qin Lun thought that this was his guilt from the massacre in the warehouse, but he quickly ruled it out. Perhaps now, he had a feeling of guilt in his heart, but it wasn’t strong enough for him to save someone.

His concern for the little mute was largely due to the fact that he saw another shadow on the little mute’s body.

“Hu!” Walking to the other end of the tunnel, Qin Lun let out a long breath. From afar, he saw a naked little person lying at the exit of the space-time converter.

Due to the reorganization of the body of Laws, the clothes on the little mute’s body had disappeared. His skin was flawless and white, but his original dirty appearance was no longer there. However, his limbs were still as thin as firewood, and his head was incomparably large, like a radish’s head.

The originally messy chicken stall was now clean. It lay on the ground, its long black hair covering its body like brocade, covering its palm-sized butt.

“Eh!” Qin Lun squatted down and picked him up. The little mute closed his eyes and breathed steadily. However, Qin Lun sized him up, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

“Female?!”
