The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 1230

Chapter 1230: 1230
Sheyan's shared the notifications he received in the party communication channel, causing everyone to turn and look at the sword in his hand . Apophis did not seem like it was being decomposed, Instead, it was shining . Waves of light could be seen on it .



Zi was rather surprised at the speed at which the liquid metal life-form was breaking down the sword .

"How does it decompose Apophis that fast?"

"If the liquid metal can't win a quick battle against a powerful weapon like this, it's probably never gonna be able to win . It's the same way that you'd never be able to get some women into bed if they don't have a good first impression of you . . . . Uhh, Seaman told me that," answered Reef with confidence .

"Get out of here!"

Sheyan was like a lucky man who won the grand prize in a lottery . A notification would pop up every now and then, and they were all positive .

[ Due to your liquid metal life-form's decomposition of the Evil Sword Apophis, you obtained 3 free attribute points . . . Please wait patiently for further details . ]

[ . . . . . . . ]

[ Due to your liquid metal life-form's decomposition of the Evil Sword Apophis, you obtained 74,000 utility points . . . Please wait patiently for further details . ]

[ . . . . . . . ]

[ Due to your liquid metal life-form's decomposition of the Evil Sword Apophis, you obtained some glass gold, a kind of rare metal . . . Please wait patiently for further details . ]

[ . . . . . . . ]

The decomposition of Evil Sword Apophis was finally visible to the naked eye . The process started from the hilt . It was as if there was an invisible hand patiently and resolutely rubbing back and forth on it, very seriously and very attentively . To explain it in a more visual term . . . . it looked like someone was jacking it off .



The changes were very slow, but after a while, they could see the hilt starting to swell, becoming red, long and hard . . . . oops sorry, made a typo . It got brighter and brighter . Then, as the temperature rose, more and more dust drifted down from the sword . Although the dust was very fine, it made the liquid metal life-form very excited when it fell down onto the life-form's wall below . The liquid metal life-form was constantly twitching and wriggling in joy .

Victory had been decided . The liquid metal life-form nurtured by Sheyan had the comprehensive advantage . Evil Sword Apophis could put up no resistance against it, let alone fight back .

Following the passage of time, the liquid metal life-form that had received "supplements" only got more energetic . It continued rubbing with a determination that could even grind an iron rod into a needle . It's originally silvery-white colour was beginning to turn a deep black . Its speed of decomposition was also rapidly increasing .

According to Sheyan's rough calculations, it initially took seven minutes for the liquid metal life-from to rub away a third of the sword hilt, but after that, it only used three minutes to decompose the remaining two-thirds . This showed that it was strengthening itself with its "spoils of war" while it worked, and had had a tremendous growth in strength .


Apophis' hilt and ornaments had all become nutrients for the liquid metal life-form . The sword was now like a suckling pig that had been shaved clean, like an orange that had been peeled clean, like a girl that had been stripped clean . It was about to meet with a terrible fate .

"Hold on a minute!" Apophis' synthesised, metallic voice suddenly resounded inside the car, full of anxiety, "Take this monster away from me! I'll serve you . You just need to prepare some materials to break my soul contract . Do you not long for my power?"

Others may be a little moved, but Sheyan absolutely refused to give in to the temptation of the sword . The only thing he wished for was to make sure Bind loses Apophis, either by taking Apophis far away or destroying it . As long as he could weaken the enemy while causing Bind unbearable pain, Sheyan would consider it a great success .

Was Sheyan not even slightly tempted by the sword's power?

Of course he was, but after all, this weapon was, like its name suggested, an evil weapon . It was obvious from Apophis' abilities that its wielder's life meant nothing to it . As far as Sheyan was concerned, since he did not necessarily need the power of Evil Sword Apophis, why not just turn it into nutrients for the liquid metal life-form . This method was much more reliable .

The liquid metal life-form's importance to Sheyan and its usefulness made it no inferior to Evil Sword Apophis in Sheyan's eyes, not in the slightest . So what was there to hesitate about? Today, Apophis was doomed to suffer the tragic fate of being devoured .

　　***

When the city of Detroit became a backdrop in the scenery behind them, Evil Sword Apophis had become a sad thing of the past .



All its tricks were useless in front of the liquid metal life-form, the "nemesis of all equipment" . All it could do was prolong the devouring process .

Two hours had already passed since Sheyan obtained Apophis .

So far, they had succeeded in destroying all traces of themselves in the city's information network . They had also observed for a while, through the HD feed of the city's surveillance monitor network, the place where they previously fought .

They had moved past the furious Bind in close proximity twice, unbeknownst to both sides .

They decided to leave Detroit; it was time to fly to Africa . If they did not depart now, time would be too tight, and completing the requirements of 'The Great Collector' title would be very difficult .

Sheyan expected the liquid metal life-form to enter a period of hibernation after stuffing itself full, like it would always do . Sheyan was a clever person who was good at making deductions, so his guess was indeed correct, but there was one thing that was totally out of his expectations -- the hibernation this time only lasted less than ten minutes!!

This phenomenon was actually easily explainable . If a person had stuffed himself full of Red Bulls, would he just lie in bed afterwards?

Of course that's impossible . The same was true of the liquid metal life-form, which had undergone a drastic change in appearance . It was now streaked with black and red stripes .

It showed Sheyan its new properties:

[ G-type Liquid Metal Enhanced Life-Form (Matrix Point Distribution) ]

[ Life Stage: Semi-Mature (If it were human, it would be going through puberty) ]

[ Origin: Unable to be determined ]

[ Attack Power: None ]

[ Type: Support-type item ]

[ Materials: Liquid metal, Pi element, various unknown mysterious items, synthetic metal elements . ]

[ Weight: 1 . 2 kg ]

[ Equipping Requirement: None ]

[ Durability: Will never wear out . ]

[ Rarity: Legendary ]

[ Usage: It can be attached to all kinds of equipment to provide a powerful bonus to the equipment . The equipment will get an additional +6 strengthening (please refer to previous chapters for details) . ]

[ Passive Ability: 'Suck' -- Whenever the enemy (or their weapon) came into contact with the armour/weapon the liquid metal enhanced life-form is attached to, the liquid metal enhanced life-form will analyse the enemy and commit the result to memory . After seven times, the liquid metal enhanced life-form will be able to calculate the trajectory of the enemy's next attack, thereby rendering it obsolete . ]

[ A new passive ability has been unlocked due to the item entering a semi-mature state! ]

[ 'Devourment Memory'! ]

[ The liquid metal life-form has turned itself into the terrifying nemesis of all equipment in order to satisfy its own desires . During the devouring process, it can memorise and completely replicate the special ability of the equipment it devours, then attach it to the equipment it strengthens! ]

[ There is currently only one memory slot for 'Devourment Memory' . Please select the ability you wish to memorise as soon as possible . ]

[ Explanation: Matrix Point Distribution -- This is how the internal structure of the liquid metal life-from is described in scientific terms . Considering that the organism reading this explanation has a 99 . 99% probability of not having graduated from the Imperial University School of Molecular Materials, a more detailed explanation will not be provided . You just need to know that, like the description "rich, young and handsome" for humans, this particular description is synonymous with status and superiority . ]

[ Inscription: "G-type Liquid Metal Enhanced Life-form (Matrix Point Distribution) . . . . Why does my name sound so awkward? Why not just call me G-spot? That's quite catchy . " ]

　　***

While Sheyan was still reading through these details, G-spot was already urging Sheyan impatiently .

"Hurry up and choose an ability for 'Devourment Memory'!"

Sheyan immediately recovered from his extreme joy . He asked in a hurry, "Is it possible to memorise anything?"

"Only abilities on the equipment I've devoured before or abilities you possess, like 'Ultimate Impact' or 'Apophis' Sneer'," explained G-spot, "But take note, some abilities may be in conflict with the equipment I'm attached to . In that case, the abilities can't be used . For example, consecutive-shot or three-consecutive-shot abilities can't be used when I'm attached to a melee weapon . "

Zi glared at Sheyan and asked, "Get to the point, G-spot . Can you memorise the 'Extinction' ability?"

G-spot answered right away, "I can, but . . . . not 100% . 'Extinction' has a very high precedence . I don't have enough authority . "

"To what extent can you replicate it?" asked Zi .

"I can replicate everything about it except for its precedence . However, the most powerful thing about 'Extinction' is that its power and authority are higher than the Realms', so I don't recommend choosing this ability . Unless . . . . "

"Unless what?" asked Sheyan impatiently .

"Unless you also have another ability with a really high precedence . I can try to transfer the precedence of this ability to the replica of 'Extinction' . This is really just a basic switching problem, so it's not anything difficult . You just need to pay 50,000 utility points and 5 potential points for the material cost," answered G-spot .

Sheyan heaved a long sigh of relief . "That's no problem . Go ahead and memorise 'Extinction' . "
