Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 478 - 244: Nest Mutation

The Nest below spread out, forming a depression in the center of its body, like a giant mouth, reminiscent of a fierce beast in a zoo opening its mouth to catch food tossed in by tourists.

Mo Ke entered the abdomen of the Nest, possessing powerful divinity as a guide, the chaotic divinity within the Nest instantly became orderly, and the size of the Nest continued to expand, with strength rivaling that of the Fly King.

Witnessing all this, Wu Chang suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt something was missing from the Nest, it seemed that what the Nest lacked was Mo Ke.

However, judging from Mo Ke’s reaction, he himself seemed unaware that he was the most crucial part of the Nest.

With the Nest and Mo Ke, supported by the immense divinity of the Nest, a cold wind immediately enveloped the underground space, causing Booker and the others to struggle greatly to hold up.

Booker shouted, "Damn, we’ve been tricked, that Sand Beach Child wants to perish with us!"

Colton quickly drew cards, continuously pulling out twenty Knight Cards, dispersing them around the group, shouting, "Veronica, I can’t hold it on my own, help me resist this wind, we must buy Booker some time, as long as he summons the Ghost Horse, he can take everyone away."

Veronica nodded, "I’ll go get Raymond and the others first."

If she remembered correctly, Wu Chang and Raymond were still lingering around the console and hadn’t joined them.

Just as she was about to move, Raymond’s voice suddenly rang out.

"I’m here."

At this voice, Booker and the other two simultaneously turned their heads, staring hard at Raymond who appeared behind them, then turned to look around the console, finding that Raymond and Wu Chang had indeed disappeared.

Booker asked in confusion, "How did you get here, and where did the Nameless Brother go?"

Raymond said a bit awkwardly, "I’m not sure how I got here either, but I saw Nameless jump down himself."

Following Raymond’s pointed finger, Booker and the others looked toward the deep pit exposed after the shield disappeared.

"Ah?!"

At the bottom of the deep pit, Wu Chang frowned in disgust at the Nest churning like ocean waves.

This thing in front of him was way too pungent, if stench were a kind of power, the Nest wouldn’t need Mo Ke to attain divine qualities.

Perhaps sensing Wu Chang’s disdain, the Nest, which had been churning of its own accord, stopped, and although the Nest lacked organs of human perception, Wu Chang’s inspiration told him that the Nest was watching him.

Wu Chang shook his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The Nest responded, its massive clump of slime transforming into a wave, crashing toward Wu Chang.

Wu Chang sighed, a look of distress on his face, not due to the daunting power of the Nest, but pondering how many times he’d need to bathe to scrub off the stench on his body.

Just as the wave formed by the Nest was about to engulf him, he transformed into the Sea Giant.

"Talent Skill: Body of Strength"

"Skill Description: You can arbitrarily alter the size of your body, with a maximum height not exceeding your current Strength Attribute × 2 (meters), while you gain temporary Life Value and temporary Endurance based on your size, the value being half of your current size."

After devouring a giant worm, his strength reached 249 points, theoretically allowing him to grow five hundred meters tall, but the limited underground space housing the Nest only allowed a maximum height of one hundred meters, so he reluctantly transformed to ninety meters tall.

Having just absorbed Mo Ke, the Nest hadn’t fully developed, its wave form only reaching thirty meters high.

Thirty meters barely reached Wu Chang’s knee height, Wu Chang gave the wave a soccer kick, his foot imbued with Divine Thunder from the Electromagnetic Master and additional damage from the Blasphemer.

With one kick, he directly split the Nest, nearly causing it to physically cleave apart.

The Nest, severely kicked by Wu Chang, had intense currents spread across its massive mud-like body, large portions of mucus separated, shrinking it by nearly a fifth.

Although the Nest’s divinity seemed impressive, it shared the common flaw of all Disqualified Monsters and Essence Armors from Hymn Company, having high Energy Levels but lacking substance.

Without the shelter of divinity, both Disqualified Monsters and Gold Medal Employees had weak, frail bodies.

Wu Chang, bearing 249 points of strength, with a giant foot over six hundred yards, crushed the divinity, dealing the Nest a critical blow costing it half its life.

Strike when the iron is hot, take your foe out while they’re down.

Wu Chang gave the Nest no time to breathe, following up with another kick.

This kick, it brought forth the whole peak of summer!

Bam!

With the second kick, the Nest’s body split in two, utterly tearing apart.

Wu Chang could feel the Nest’s life force rapidly dissipating.

He approached the Nest, digging out its core from the mucus; it was a hollow mass of flesh, difficult to describe, resembling the uterus of a mammalian animal.

He saw half of Mo Ke’s body wedged at the neck.

He pulled Mo Ke out, discovering a severed umbilical cord clenched in Mo Ke’s hand.

He tore open the organ in front of him, then slowly squinted his eyes.

His inspiration told him this umbilical cord absolutely did not belong to Mo Ke, but to some other entity.

At the instant he saw the organ before him, he realized Mo Ke’s explanation was dubious; the name of the Nest didn’t derive from its body’s ability to increase the success rate and stability of Disqualified Monsters’ transformation, but from it truly nurturing something.

However, now, the organ before him was empty, what the Nest was nurturing had already been taken away by someone else in advance.
