Chapter 1279: Chapter 1278: Return to the Flesh Chapter 1279: Chapter 1278: Return to the Flesh During the kneeling period, the Count's brain was completely emptied, a situation that had only occurred when he had met the Blood Ancestor in person before, an instinctual effect of submission to the King-like presence.
It took a full two minutes before the Count realized something was amiss.
“You! This is… the semblance of a new King!”
The Count had cast aside the greeting words he had prepared, completely unable to believe that Han Dong had acquired the qualifications of the “New King” during the Open Door Period.
He had heard quite a bit about the rumors of the “New King.”
Some said that the title of the New King is granted by the Old King, and it could only be bestowed once in a lifetime.
Others said it required passing some kind of world trial and receiving recognition from the essence of the world.
Now it seems.
One of the ways to obtain the title of the New King was through [Opening the gate].
But during the Open Door Period, the Count didn't catch a glimpse of any information related to the new King; it might be hidden in some corner or in a realm that the Count couldn't reach.
Han Dong looked at the Count with a surprised expression, “Hmm? You can see it?”
Han Dong himself did not want others to know about the “New King”; keeping a low profile was always good.
When the Count replied, his words abandoned the arrogance of the past and even seemed somewhat formal.
“Perhaps it's because our consciousnesses are connected that I can see it. The crown is a manifestation of consciousness, unless you actively send signals to others, it would not be seen.”
“That's good. Otherwise, if the Elements see it, it could bring a lot of trouble… Count, why do I feel your movements are a bit stiff today?”
Saying this, Han Dong suddenly placed a hand on the Count's shoulder.
This sudden close contact also transmitted a kind of pressure from the new King into the Count's body, causing the Count's body to tremble violently, almost kneeling down again.
“This… This Count is just feeling a bit unwell! You should hurry back to your body.”
“Indeed, I need to get back quickly… My body must have undergone corresponding changes as well during the Open Door Period.”
Consciousness return.
Before his eyes even opened, he felt his entire body covered by a slippery liquid.
His body was submerged in a bathtub filled with white liquid, which was all too familiar to Han Dong.
“You're awake?”
A high-ranking executive in a white suit was sitting beside the bathtub, watching Han Dong who had just woken up.
“Thank you, senior.”
The first thing Han Dong did upon waking was to express gratitude.
Without the direction provided by the executive for the opening of the gate, allowing Han Dong to go to the Open Door area with 120% conscious state, it would have been difficult to achieve such an effect in the Fate Card Game.
At the same time, the purpose of the white liquid that soaked his entire body was very clear.
It was used to replenish the energy that Han Dong's body needed during his advancement period.
The moment he reclaimed his body, Han Dong had a feeling that was both familiar and strange.
His body had undergone an essential change during the Open Door Period… to see exactly how, he would need to thoroughly check his body, or perhaps try out the effects at a fighting club.
“It seems you've had quite an exciting gate opening experience.”
“How did you know, senior?”
“Your gate opening time was more than ten times the average; there were two instances when you completely absorbed all the white liquid I had poured into the bathtub… No wonder you were able to deal with a Formal Employee even before the gate opening.”
Since it was forbidden to discuss the “Fate Card Game,” the executive did not inquire further.
“Senior, how long have I been lying here?”
“About a month… This is the first time I have seen such a long Open Door period, and it makes me even more eager to see your performance in the world invasion war.
By the way, during my free time, I did inquire a bit of news from the management.
There may be some changes regarding the invasion from the Demon World, you'll want to pay close attention, don't die in there. The guy in charge of the project is quite cunning, even I've been tricked by him several times.”
“Changes? Can you reveal any details, senior?”
“Information about the [S-01] Super World is strictly confidential, I only heard from external sources that plans have changed, what exactly the plans are and what changes have been made, I'm not sure.
But, you don't have to worry too much.
Taking over your world isn't that easy; all you need to do is ensure your own safety.”
“Haha, alright.”
Han Dong, of course, only verbally agreed.
As for the impending London game, Han Dong, who has realized the Open Door Period, will spare no effort… To Han Dong, this is not just a war of invasion, but a crucial opportunity for all of humanity.
The executive glanced at his watch, then put the Vortex Mask back on.
“I have some matters to take care of. You can check out of the hotel tomorrow. Arrange your own time.
By the way, the new world of [The Tomb Lord] has finished its development and is now connected to the Black Tower. Just go to the relevant office and you'll receive a 10% share. Make good use of it.”
“Okay!”
Han Dong was very excited as well, hurriedly got up from the bathtub, wrapped in a bath towel, and saw the executive out.
The instant the executive left, Han Dong immediately returned to the bathtub.
This whole tub of White Liquid couldn't be wasted… Despite the peculiar smell, it was a Top Level tonic not available for purchase in the market.
As he re-submerged in the tub, he took an eyeball out from his brain, with the Black Whirlpool still rotating on its surface.
“Eugene's Vortex Eye of the Prophet”
Description: This eye, extracted from a life form not found in the brain's database, possesses innate space Pupil Surgery, capable of limiting space just by gazing.
In addition, this eye also possesses the 'prophecy' ability.
Quality: “Epic+”
Basic Attributes:
“Vision Range: ”
“Transparency: ”
“Neural Sensing: ”
“Magic Control: S”
[Intrinsic Special Traits]:
“Whirlpool” – By focusing gaze on a target, a Black Whirlpool can be created to affect space, able to restrict, compress, and even forcefully absorb the target.
Its specific effects are related to the energy consumed, individual mastery of Pupil Surgery, and individual spatial perception.
“Ahead of Time (Passive)” – When engaging in battle with the Vortex Eye, the individual can preemptively read the opponent's actions based on their strength, even predicting different types of spells and techniques.
Warning: The eyeball harbors a 'semi-conscious entity', possessing an incomplete consciousness system which allows it to survive on its own and even feed through the Whirlpool ability for energy replenishment. It has strong xenophobic capabilities.
It is recommended that individuals undergo eye possession after entering the Open Door Period, otherwise it may affect the individual's main consciousness.
This last warning is precisely why Han Dong decided to accept the eyeball only after entering the Open Door Period.
Moreover.
The method of accepting the eyeball is different from that of accepting limbs, not a direct replacement.
Han Dong planned to transfer the special traits of the Vortex Eye, fusing them into the Demon Eye… By stacking them together, it might create an even stronger effect, then he would no longer need to fear Eugene's eyes.
“Come on.”
Following the Eye Fusion Technique marked in the “Book of Dead Spirit (Eye Manuscript)”, Han Dong drew it at the bottom of the tub, and then fixed the Vortex Eye at the center of the Formation with hair strands.
The Magic Array activated.
Hiss Hiss Hiss ~
Tendrils akin to nerves grew from the surface of the Demon Eye, intertwining with each other, connecting to the Vortex Eye at the center of the Formation.
In an instant.
A liquid Whirlpool was formed in the tub, a defiance from the Vortex Eye.
“A non-sentient object still trying to defy… I already possess the key to the Void, which completely matches your traits, following me will be your best destination.”
A will akin to that of a King instantly pressed down on the Vortex Eye, and the Whirlpool in the tub dissipated immediately.
Sucking.
The flesh Tentacles, extended from the Demon Eye, were drawing energy from within the Vortex Eye, preventing it from completely shriveling.
The Black Whirlpool as the new eye pattern, appeared on the surface of the Demon Eye… With that, the Demon Eye is upgraded, and Han Dong's Vision stepped into a whole new realm.
“Suddenly miss that Eugene guy a bit, really want to test now, whose eyes are stronger.”
