The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 486 - 430: Taming the Source Stone?

On the floating island, inside Kaiwen’s temporary med bay.

The silver-haired girl stood leaning against the wall, playing with the amber in her hand. The flame inside flickered as if responding to her thoughts, seemingly distracted, yet her peripheral vision remained on Lin Guang.

Chelina held Lisa’s hand, standing behind him.

Lin Guang lay on the bed, his upper body bare, while Kaiwen’s fair and slender fingers pressed repeatedly on the dark golden, totem-like sun markings on his chest, occasionally stirring up faint green ripples.

Her warm fingertips finally rested at Lin Guang’s heart, seemingly sensing the intensity of his heartbeat, her emerald eyes unblinking, completely focused on calculating something.

After a moment, her slightly hoarse and cool voice spoke up.

"Alright."

Lin Guang opened his eyes.

A faint dark golden glow flashed through the med bay, drawing the attention of all four.

He slowly sat up, expressionlessly clenching and unclenching his fist, feeling the power surging within his body.

Kaiwen looked at his left hand, now turned into a black crystal.

Black fragments seemed to appear out of thin air, pooling and solidifying in the palm of his left hand into an irregular black crystal the size of a thumbnail.

But Lin Guang then ceased interference, causing the crystal to gradually dissipate into the air, as if being rejected by the whole of Blue Star.

The three girls’ gazes were somewhat complex.

Kaiwen’s stunning emerald eyes, faintly echoed with distant memories.

[Source Stone].

The root of the Terra World, disaster, rebirth.

The beginning of all joys and sorrows, the source of all dawn and renewal, as well as the embodiment of all despair and annihilation.

Its rights and wrongs are not for judgment, for it has become a natural phenomenon of that world, a [rule] as certain as the rising and setting of the sun, the origin and foundational existence of all life.

Without it, those lives would cease to exist.

Yet Kaiwen almost never imagined that the Source Stone, this impending disaster destined to engulf the Terra Land, this runaway creation, would be so...

Submissive.

She had only seen this circumstance in her own two... creators, who could be considered her parents, who were also the creators of the Source Stone.

In a sense, Lin Guang had already grasped this otherworldly cataclysm’s power.

No...

Perhaps he had become the catastrophe itself, not just a mere vessel.

This seemed to reasonably explain one thing.

That being why the Heart of Terra could provide weapons to Vishdair, Chelina, and Lisa upon contracting, partially restoring their Source Stone abilities which should have failed on Blue Star.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the Heart of Terra harbored the potential to control the Source Stone.

And at that moment, under the four’s slightly worried gaze, Lin Guang’s expression gradually shifted from an inorganic coldness to having subtle expressions and demeanors typical of humans.

To put it in an inappropriate metaphor...

He had booted up.

Kaiwen withdrew her hand from his chest, speaking softly, "How do you feel today?"

Lin Guang pondered and honestly replied, "It was a pretty good warm-up, I suppose."

He glanced at Vishdair beside him, "It was the same for both me and her."

Then he turned to the nearby fox-eared girl, smiling, "Of course, Lisa was a big help too."

"Mm!"

If these words were disclosed, they would likely cause an uproar.

Defeating Zhao Yue dominantly was just a warm-up? This statement was extraordinarily brazen.

But to those in the room, they knew what Lin Guang said was the truth.

Since the state competition began, no one had actually used their full strength.

Honestly, even Lin Guang felt that his current power seemed quite overpowered compared to many instances of "Spirit Battle Chronicles" from previous lives.

It wasn’t to say there hadn’t been better Golden Talents, or starting with a Golden Holy Beast, but beginning with a Blue Talent and Blue initial partners and reaching this point was unbelievable.

Vishdair’s red antenna on her forehead twitched, her scarlet tongue licked her lips, and a slightly excited smile appeared on her pretty face:

"I’ve had my fill, got a bit of the feeling."

Vishdair squeezed the amber sealing the Tier Five purple-grade spiritual material flame in her hand, looking a bit eager, "I feel like I can eat this thing now." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In Lin Guang’s repeatedly revised plans, her evolution was no longer a one-step process.

If she rushed her evolution, she wouldn’t have needed to wait so long, it could’ve been done before the state competition began.

She needed to fully digest the spiritual material, accumulating to the limit, for the best effect.

In other words, she needed to consume the spiritual material before evolving, digest it, and build her foundation.

This was why Vishdair had been needed in the past matches.

Not only was Lin Guang searching for that opportunity, but she herself was also waiting for the right moment to arise.

Watching Vishdair, obviously excited as she juggled the amber encasing the anomalous flame, Heaven-Burning Flame, Lin Guang suddenly thought of something, unable to suppress a subtle smile.

—The Burning Technique will devour the anomalous flame to evolve, so it is said.
