A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 588

Chapter 588: Chapter 432: Aggregation_1 Chapter 588: Chapter 432: Aggregation_1 Due to Duanmu Huai's orders, the entire ship was blocked off. As a result, he could only gradually head towards another materials storage room towards the stern. As he advanced, he could feel the Aura of Divine Power starting to tremble, something quite expected. Even if this Blasphemous Artifact was a defective AI, it could sense the divine power radiating from Duanmu Huai.

If it were a living deity that's a different story, but now, it was nothing more than a relic. What capability did it have to confront a true deity?

Nonetheless, it was clear… it had no intention of surrendering easily.

At this moment, inside the materials storehouse at the stern of the Iron Hammer, a sculpture embedded within countless piled ores, winding like a spiral of DNA, was emitting a faint red light. Around it, thousands of Mutated Bodies seemed to long to get close, yet they were unable to.

Suddenly, the peculiar sculpture started to quiver. Then, a spherical, eerily crimson ball emerged in the middle.

Then the next moment, the entire sculpture illuminated with an intense red light!

Those previously obstructed Mutated Bodies seemed to be magnetized, as they flung themselves into the air, flying directly towards the peculiar sculpture! In the blink of an eye, the outer layer of the sculpture was completely covered with mutated bodies. Not only that, countless Mutated Bodies were also seen flying through the ventilation ducts and passageways around, swarming towards the strange sculpture, like debris sucked up by a vacuum cleaner!

“Rumble rumble rumble……!”

Such a tremendous noise naturally couldn't escape Duanmu Huai's attention. He halted, eyeing the direction ahead warily. Just now, Duanmu Huai suddenly sensed the Divine Power becoming even stronger. Moreover, the walls and corridors around him began to tremble violently — no, this isn't the ground, there can't be earthquakes here.

So in other words, that creature was fighting back desperately?

Well, that makes sense. If it doesn't fight back now, it'd be too late.

“Mr. Knight!”

At this moment, the voice of Ann suddenly erupted in Duanmu Huai's mind.

“What happened? The Captain said the entire rear of the ship has been severely damaged……”
“Nothing much, just a cornered beast making its last stand. Just wait and see!”

“Boom!!”

However, before Duanmu Huai could finish his sentence, the wall and ceiling beside him suddenly collapsed. Then, a tentacle, much larger than him, swept towards Duanmu Huai!

“In your dreams!”

Of course, Duanmu Huai would not let his opponent have its way. He roared angrily, and the Chainsaw Sword in his hand was immediately enveloped by black flames. Following this, Duanmu Huai gripped the rapidly rotating Chainsaw Sword and swung it directly at the tentacle. The Chainsaw Sword, as violent as ever, easily severed the tentacle like cutting through butter. A scream was heard, and the next moment the severed limb recoiled as if electrocuted. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, held onto his Chainsaw Sword firmly and looked forward.

“———”
At this moment, the entire space was filled with deathly silence. This attack from the tentacle had pierced through the hull of the Iron Hammer, causing gravity and air to vanish. The intense pressure caused the floating debris in the air to be swept outward. If it were a regular human, even if this hit didn't kill him, he would be pushed into the boundless Star Ocean and die of oxygen deficiency and hypothermia.

However, Duanmu Huai still stood steadily on the torn corridor of the Iron Hammer, tightly gripping his Chainsaw Sword, staring coldly ahead.

After the floating debris in the air was sucked into space, Duanmu Huai finally saw the true face of the creature that had attacked him.

Well……it looks simply like a large jellyfish from the deep ocean, with a semicircular head above and several huge tentacles below. And Duanmu Huai could tell at a glance that the jellyfish-like body and the tentacles were all formed by countless mutated bodies!

“Well, looks like a super fusion, huh.”

Duanmu Huai silently brandished his sword.

“Then let me perform a de-fusion for you!”

Having said this, the jetpack on Duanmu Huai's back suddenly blasted, propelling him towards the creature in front of him like a cannonball!

Seeing Duanmu Huai charging towards it, the creature waved its massive tentacles and entwined them from all sides to impede Duanmu Huai's action. However, Duanmu Huai was unaffected by those huge yet dangerous tentacles. With a flash of his sword, the tentacles aiming for Duanmu Huai were instantly sliced apart, while Duanmu Huai himself, undeterred, continued to charge towards the creature in front, crashing into the shell formed by the numerous mutated bodies, like a cannonball hitting a moon-like monster!

“Boom—-!”

Along with this violent impact, a large hole was made in the hard shell. But it did not end there. Soon, countless mutated bodies gushed out from around the hole like a flood, screaming and waving their arms, trying to completely engulf Duanmu Huai right there!

But for Duanmu Huai, this was a piece of cake!

He did not even look at those mutated creatures rushing towards him, trying to consume him. He just held the hilt with both hands, held up the chainsaw sword high, and stabbed it forcefully into the ground!

“Vrrrrrr——–!!!”

The shell formed by numerous mutated bodies was definitely solid, but the revolving chainsaw, like the deadly fangs of a beast, tore it apart completely.

Strictly speaking, a Power Sword would be more useful than a Chainsaw Sword, but Duanmu Huai personally preferred the latter. Not taking into account the damage, the sense of pain it inflicted was different. A Power Sword inflicted a clean cut, simple and neat. But it was not the same case with a Chainsaw Sword. The violent and tooth-like rotation of the chainsaw cutting through flesh felt like a mechanized version of lingchi (death by a thousand cuts), its inflicted pain and shock was not something a Power Sword could match.

Just like now, for this monster, Duanmu Huai was like sawing its head with a chainsaw. The pain was enough to drive it insane!!

It roared in fury again, and the originally severed tentacles instantly returned to their original state. It then swung its tentacles towards its own head. But by this time, Duanmu Huai had already cut open its scalp, and then he drove his weapon downwards with all his might!

“Boom!!!

The pitch-black flames erupted like gushing oil through the gap, with the spreading fire mercilessly and completely swallowing the surrounding mutated army. Meanwhile, the crack below gradually expanded under the scorching black flames, growing larger, and quickly stretched from a small point to the entire body of the monster.

Then … it burst open completely.

HING!”

In an instant, the monster, looking just like a jellyfish's head, exploded, turning the dark flames to fireworks, cruelly consuming all the fragments. As the fragments formed by the mutated bodies were burned to ashes by the flames, Duanmu Huai finally found his target.

It was a pitch-black, spiral, and eerie tower. At the moment, it was emitting a faint glow, slowly falling into the deep cosmos.

Trying to run?

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes sank, and he stretched out his hand towards the spiral tower, pulling hard with force!

The Spiral Tower, which was originally heading outwards, was immediately pulled back by Duanmu Huai. Right now, it hovered helplessly in cosmic space, like a prisoner being led to the execution ground at noon, just waiting for the executioner's blade to fall.

And Duanmu Huai, indeed, did not disappoint it. He swiftly raised his hand, and with a single slash, he shattered the spiral tower, after which, within the dark flames, it completely vanished without a trace.

Then, the scene in front of Duanmu Huai's eyes wavered slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, he had found himself standing on the control bridge deserted of any personnel.

At the same time, a system prompt also appeared before Duanmu Huai's eyes.

“Hey, this is interesting, isn't it?”

Looking at the effects of the Soul Card, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but brighten up. After seeing its effect, Duanmu Huai finally understood the modus operandi of this Blasphemous Artifact; in short, it made people go mad by mentally poisoning them, let them kill each other, took their bodies to create those beings called Corpse Variants, and when the number of Corpse Variants reached a certain level, the artifact would activate aggregation, merging all the Corpse Variants to form a large monster called the Blood Moon… Well, it seemed the one he killed was just an incomplete form.

That made sense, after all … the Blood Moon should at least be the size of the actual moon, while the one Duanmu Huai annihilated was only about the size of a small asteroid.

This is a valuable item!

Looking at this card, Duanmu Huai was exhilarated. Leaving everything else aside, this would be perfect to use against the Tyron Swarm and Evil God Army. In the battlefield, regardless of how many casualties there were, as long as Duanmu Huai activated the [Profane Sphere], transforming all the corpses into Corpse Variants, and then aggregating them into the Blood Moon, he wouldn't only increase his own combat power but also weaken the enemy's strength! Would that not help one avoid being consumed by bugs or being taken away by the 'benevolent father'?

Moreover, since these beings were already dead, they naturally wouldn't be confused by Cunning Deception or Obsessive Sin!

As for the Blasphemous Artifact itself …
Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment.

It would be better to convert it directly; holding onto it would only be a scourge.
