Chapter 2508 The Target
Chapter 2508 The Target
Outside the prison, Abe Akaya's vines swiftly crept along the ground, entangling around Fang Heng's wrist.
Direct absorption of the black fog would lead to significant backlash. So, absorbing strength directly might be a safer approach...
"Abe Akaya, give it a try."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Vines immediately shot out tiny sharp thorns, piercing Fang Heng's skin.
Fang Heng could feel his strength being drained but did not resist; he allowed Abe Akaya to extract it.
[Hint: Abe Akaya is absorbing demonic seed strength... Abe Akaya gains a small amount of demonic seed energy; absorption progress increases.]
[Hint: The player's strength is being extracted; current commander-level demon bloodline experience points reduced by 28,091.]
Fang Heng's pupils dilated in shock.
Wow.
That extraction was a bit harsh.
It directly drained his skill experience points.
After draining more than half a vial of experience, Fang Heng told Abe Akaya to stop.
[Hint: Current 'Greed' energy progress: 0.01%.]
More than half a vial of experience only yielded 0.01% progress?
That was just...
Way too little.
Fang Heng ran a hand through his hair.
He was inherently a Greed demonic seed, making it easiest for Abe Akaya to absorb his Greed.
In simple terms, he just needed to farm experience points to meet the mission's requirements.
But what about other demonic seeds?
For those with average strength, draining them probably wouldn't yield much energy progress.
After thinking it over, Fang Heng couldn't help but sigh.
Whatever.
Looking on the bright side, the higher the advancement difficulty for Abe Akaya, the stronger he'd be after leveling up.
It wasn't a loss.
In any case, it was best to take things step by step.
At least he had obtained the Abyss Worshipper's Altar through the mission.
To maximize efficiency, it would be ideal to recruit a batch of demon believers to assist with the rituals, ensuring the altar operated at its best.
Fang Heng found it odd.
Jing Ge'er could actively spread black fog and gain followers through it, yet he didn't.
Was it because his demon bloodline level wasn't high enough?
Never mind.
He could make do with others' followers.
Fang Heng quickly calculated and called Mo Jiawei to help contact demon believers in the real world.
Soon, Mo Jiawei provided feedback, stating that it would be somewhat difficult.
Since the last incident in the real world, demon believers had been captured or killed; those remaining were scarce and hiding in who knows where.
It would be hard to gather a group of believers quickly.
Alright then.
Fang Heng wouldn't push it, he could only take things as they came.
Feeling tired, he decided to take a nap.
...
The next day, just after waking up, Fang Heng received a message from Bai Mu.
It contained several updates regarding the White Abyss.
First, the bad news.
Under Jing Ge'er's instigation, a large number of demonic seeds had clashed directly with Jealousy.
"Jealousy" had won.
According to rumors, "Jealousy" possessed a special ability that could significantly suppress other demonic seeds.
The rest of the news could be considered good.
In the final moments, Jing Ge'er and several companions managed to escape heavily injured and were not captured by Jealousy, so they would likely seek out Jealousy again, helping to relieve some pressure.
Bai Mu was already trying to contact Jing Ge'er, hoping to persuade them to continue cooperating.
Furthermore, the White Abyss Arena, which was established by "Jealousy", was destroyed.
It was said that the arena contained a small part of "Jealousy"'s essence. With that essence destroyed and his forced sealing of numerous demonic seeds, his strength had been significantly depleted in a short time.
Additionally, many demonic seeds had managed to break free from their seals.
Two of those demonic seeds chose not to confront "Jealousy" directly but opted to retreat and escape entirely.
These two demonic seeds were potential allies they could recruit.
Finally, although "Jealousy" managed to reseal the escaped demonic seeds, it was only a temporary measure.
With the White Abyss Arena destroyed, "Jealousy" would need to find another place for a long-term sealing.
In the meantime, he could only control the seals closely, effectively being trapped in place.
After hearing this, Fang Heng had an idea.
Since "Jealousy" was temporarily restrained and needed to stay in the White Abyss, could he take this opportunity to rush over to Watts and check things out?
Watts was one of the worlds secretly controlled by Jealousy.
There were still plenty of missions left there.
For instance, the sealed demonic seed known as "Gluttony".
Fang Heng believed that besides "Gluttony', there must be other sealed demonic seeds in that place. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Perhaps he could extract strength from these demonic seeds?
It was just what he needed, especially since the Abyss Altar required believers to assist with absorption.
Moreover, he might need a large number of followers in the future to help him with tasks.
Why not take this opportunity to go big?
He could make a trip to Watts and recruit a circle of believers.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Additionally, Watts was a legitimate advanced game world; perhaps he could find ways to deal with "Jealousy" there.
There were certainly risks involved.
However...
The potential rewards were enough to justify taking the chance.
"Hm? Fang Heng? What's wrong?"
Bai Mu noticed the sudden silence on Fang Heng's end and asked, "Are you still there?"
"Yeah," Fang Heng snapped back to reality and replied, "Bai Mu, I want to head to Watts right away."
Bai Mu frowned slightly and fell silent for a moment before continuing, "I've heard that some demonic seeds have been trapped in Watts. However, that world is a bit different. Jealousy pays special attention to it, and I've heard that we demonic seeds face significant restrictions there."
Restrictions?
Fang Heng pondered this.
It seemed that the last time he entered Watts, he hadn't felt any so-called restrictions.
However, Jealousy couldn't directly enter Watts; she could only influence the world using her strength.
Was this the unique aspect of the Watts game world?
That made it even more necessary to check it out!
Fang Heng nodded. "While Jealousy is currently tied up, I want to go to Watts and see what's going on. Maybe I can find clues to deal with her."
Bai Mu paused for a moment and asked, "Do you need our help?"
"Not necessary, I can handle it alone."
"Alright, but be careful. Let's stay in touch. If you run into trouble, notify me, and we'll find a way to support you in Watts."
"Of course, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Heng grabbed a pen and paper from the cabinet and quickly outlined the tasks he needed to accomplish in Watts.
Firstly, locate "Gluttony" and other demonic seeds present in Watts.
Secondly, find clues to deal with "Jealousy".
Thirdly, recruit a batch of believers to bring back.
As for the fourth step...
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
After all, he had already harvested a good number of dimensional cores from the White Abyss.
If the situation allowed, why not completely "drain" Watts as well?
That wouldn't be a bad plan!
