I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 461 - 323: In-depth Development (Request for Monthly Pass!)
Chapter 461: Chapter 323: In-depth Development (Request for Monthly Pass!)
It was around two in the afternoon, and Floey had already gotten up to make lunch.
The meal times at the Circus had been like this recently.
However, Chen Lun did not rush back to the main villa; instead, he sat on a swing and began to ponder and research his own abilities.
Having just absorbed the profound knowledge of the Nature Faction under the effect of the “Key of Life LVMAX,” several new ideas burst forth in Chen Lun’s mind.
Especially, many inspirations were derived based on his originally developed “Pale Hand.”
‘The snake swarm, transformed by the original Pale Hand, has bodies that are too insubstantial. Apart from the appearance which closely resembles snakes, complete with scales, fangs, and skin, the internal structure is merely a pile of flesh. This does not conform to common sense and is not suitable for fighting alone…’
...
Chen Lun thought, raising his hand.
The next second, his hand turned into a white snake, but this time, with the vast knowledge from the “Key of Life” as support, he restructured the white snake’s anatomy. He not only gave it internal organs and a digestive system to mimic actual snakes, but also artistically replicated the muscle and skeletal structure of a mythical serpent.
Although it did not possess real mythical powers, it resembled one and, to some extent, adhered more closely to the principles of Mystery Studies. It possessed a trace of the original strength’s conductivity and durability of form.
In short, a paper airplane is not a real airplane, but it can also glide briefly.
Snap!
Chen Lun’s arm fell off by itself, and the white snake fell to the ground. In an instant, it turned into a five or six meter long pale python, slowly slithering along the ground.
‘This python, except for lacking spirituality, can already be considered a real creature… Even if discovered by a Transcendent, they would never guess it transformed from my arm.’
With a thought, the white python circled around and then crawled back, reattaching to the severed arm, restored as before.
‘If every snake in the Pale Hand could be optimized in this way, the final effect would be far more than simple addition… It would be a qualitative change, enhancing the overall strength, speed, lethality, and defense by several factors.’
Chen Lun took a deep breath and smiled.
He swung his arm fiercely.
His right arm split and sprayed out dozens of vividly realistic pale pythons, each opening its gaping maw, its sharp fangs gleaming with cold light, and its green serpent eyes showing a murderous intent.
The snake swarm danced wildly in the air, stirring up a hurricane. The next second, they fiercely merged, intertwining into a bundle, forming a carriage-sized giant hammer, and suddenly slammed down!
Boom!
A few hundred meters away from the main villa.
The members of the Circus sitting on the couch chatting suddenly felt the ground shake.
“Huh?!”
Golov suddenly stood up, his face showing a vigilant expression.
“What happened?”
“Let’s go! Quickly, check it out! It came from the direction of the backyard!”
The members of the Circus hurriedly rushed out of the villa.
When they arrived at the backyard, they stood rooted to the spot.
A pit four or five meters deep and several tens of meters in diameter had shockingly appeared on the lawn, nearly dominating the view, with mud, flowers, and trees mixed together in chaotic disorder, as if struck by a small meteorite.
“Mr. Jack, what happened here?”
Noah inquired in confusion.
“Nothing much, you all go back. I was just experimenting and casually swung a punch. I didn’t expect an accident to occur, um, cough… I should have gone to the Spirit World if I had known.”
Chen Lun waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
The last sentence he muttered softly.
Then he added another phrase:
“Don’t tell Floey I ruined all her flowers… this place will be restored to its original state in a moment.”
As if to prove his words, the flowers, soil, and trees on the ground began to levitate and return to their original positions, and the deep pit in the ground was also restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time were flowing backward.
This was actually a magic called “Restoration” that Chen Lun was casting.
The members of the Circus looked at each other, suddenly feeling that their leader had become even more mysterious.
Merely a punch had blasted such a terrifying pit in the backyard…
Had it hit a person, wouldn’t they have been turned directly into a pulp!
“Even a Transcendent of the Mid Sequence couldn’t withstand such a punch, could they…”
They silently speculated in their hearts.
Moreover, the scene of the soil, flowers, and trees collectively floating and restoring was also extremely shocking, like a miracle. To what extent had Mr. Jack now reached in the Mystic Realm…
Afterward, with reverence and admiration, everyone bowed and turned to leave.
Shortly after they left.
Chen Lun looked at the newly restored garden, sighed deeply.
That turmoil had also drained him of a lot of his Physical Strength.
‘First attempt at not holding back the Strength, I didn’t expect the power of the Pale Hand to be so formidable…’
Chen Lun sat back on the swing, thinking to himself.
‘If I deployed the new version of the ten-in-one, entered the Pale Stance, and wore the Balag Armor, incarnating the Pale Knight, what kind of strength would I then possess?’
A look of anticipation appeared on his face.
After resting briefly, Chen Lun continued to deeply develop and research his own abilities.
An afternoon passed, and he even forgot to eat, immersed in thought and practice.
Not until the evening did the setting sun slowly disappear at the horizon.
Chen Lun finally completed his last experiment.
Looking at the marble-sized pale sphere in the palm of his hand, a tired smile once again spread across his face.
The surface of this sphere was covered with densely packed scale-like spots, resembling some kind of creature’s egg.
It was the second advanced technique developed by Chen Lun based on the “Pale Hand,” named “Serpent Parasitism,” as for its abilities and effects…
‘A seed integrating control, erasure, injury replacement, and protection… Its true essence lies in parasitism!’
Chen Lun’s eyes sparkled brightly.
By embedding it inside a target’s body, it would then parasitize the host, allowing him to detonate it at any moment, using the combination of “Blood of Decay” and “Splitting Resurgence” to kill the host. It could also use the “Key of Life” to absorb fatal injuries from the host, in a way, accomplishing injury replacement.
Or you could activate it at a critical moment to transform it into dozens of white snakes, aiding the host in combat.
In any case, its uses were vast, applicable against foes and allies alike.
Pale Hand!
Serpent Parasitism!
Chen Lun blew a whistle, summoning a round-faced owl that landed on his arm.
He slowly brought “Serpent Parasitism” close to the round-faced owl; with a whoosh, a pale sphere burrowed into the owl’s body, yet it was oblivious, even affectionately nibbling Chen Lun’s arm with its beak.

Chen Lun had a thought.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The owl’s back suddenly sprouted dozens of white snakes as thick as fingers, wildly dancing around. This change startled the owl, and it began to flap its wings, flying away into the distance.
During this process, it accidentally plunged into the canopy of a tree.
Boom boom boom!
After activating Serpent Parasitism, the white snakes violently attacked everything around the owl. In an instant, the large tree was destroyed, leaving wreckage everywhere. The owl, like an octopus waving “tentacles” in flight, gradually vanished into the skyline.
Chen Lun watched this scene with a smile.
He took a step forward, using Aerial Walk to pursue it.
A moment later.
Chen Lun found the owl thousands of meters away; the white snakes on its body had disappeared, and it seemed unharmed. Aside from appearing a bit frightened, it was still lively.
It had left a path of destroyed trees and a few accidentally affected innocent birds along the way.
‘Once activated, Serpent Parasitism can probably survive for about an hour. If engaged in intense combat, this time will be significantly reduced, but not less than ten minutes… and their strength is limited after all, as they’re merely a split from one of my fingers,’
Chen Lun analyzed the results.
“Since there were no issues, next, I’ll find someone to experiment with…”
Chen Lun murmured softly.

Main villa.
“Leader, I’m somewhat afraid.”
Golov swallowed, speaking nervously.
He sat upright on the living room sofa, Barton and Morey beside him, situated similarly.
The rest of the Circus members stood by, curiously watching with interest.
“Don’t be nervous, nothing will happen, trust me.”
Chen Lun reassured them.
Golov and the others looked at each other, then clenched their teeth and nodded.
“Okay, Leader!”
“So, I’m starting.”
Chen Lun smiled slightly and suddenly raised his hand.
Golov and the others only saw a flash of pale color before their eyes; they felt a chill on their necks. Mr. Jack in front of them maintained his hands-in-pockets stance, as if he had never made a move.
“Is… is it done?”
Golov asked uncertainly.
Chen Lun nodded silently.
He had embedded Serpent Parasitism into the three of them in an instant.
In future confrontations, he could act unexpectedly like this, catching the enemy off guard. By hiding the Serpent Parasitism under an obvious attack, the enemy would be stricken before they even noticed.
“Mr. Jack, what will happen to Golov and the others?”
Noah asked curiously.
“‘Serpent Parasitism’ is a new ability I’ve developed, it can serve to protect, defend against enemies, or even replace death… of course, it can also kill the host.”
Chen Lun answered with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, appearing extremely surprised.
Yet, Golov and the others didn’t worry much as they had great trust in Leader Mr. Jack.
Immediately after, Chen Lun said to Barton:
“Try stabbing Golov with a knife.”
“What?!”
Barton was momentarily stunned, voicing his confusion instinctively.
The onlookers all displayed curious expressions.
Golov was nonchalant; he patted his old friend’s shoulder.
“It’s okay, come on, trust the Leader!”
Saying this, he even opened his jacket and lifted up his shirt.
Barton finally bit his teeth, waved his hand, and a Short Dagger appeared in his palm, stabbing into Golov’s abdomen. Skilled in assassination, his strike deliberately avoided vital areas and was not fatal.
Golov was tough and didn’t make a sound, only frowning slightly.
As the Short Dagger was withdrawn, dozens of finger-thick small white snakes burst from the back of his neck, frantically dancing. Four or five of these snakes instantly lost their vitality, falling limply.
The wound in Golov’s abdomen also vanished without a trace.
“?!”
Everyone appeared greatly shocked.
But Chen Lun revealed a satisfied smile.
Following this, Barton and Morey also conducted their tests, and the results matched Chen Lun’s expectations.
Serpent Parasitism could fend off sudden attacks and could activate on its own to confront enemies. Most importantly, it could serve as an injury replacement for team members, acting as their lifeline!
With Serpent Parasitism, the trio of Golov had even gained the confidence to briefly withstand Transcendents of the Mid Sequence!
