Chapter 525: Chapter 435: Nightmare Beast’s Skill
’No wonder I couldn’t even brand it with my space after snatching that black ant. So, it’s an Original Divine Soul.’
’So, this guy’s true form isn’t human! Is it an ant?’
"Lex, do you know what this guy’s true form is?"
Lex Cross looked at Flora Bloom, puzzled. "Among the Undead, not many can directly use Death Energy to form attacks like he can. He might be from the royal bloodline of the Undead.
"From what I know, the only ones who can directly attack with unleashed Death Energy belong to a lineage that cultivates their Original Divine Soul with a black ant as their true form. So, his original form is likely a black ant."
Flora Bloom had a sudden realization. "You’re saying... what would happen if we killed his original black ant form?"
Seeing the mischievous, troublemaking look on the woman beside him, Lex Cross said, "Now is not the time. And in the future, if we do want to kill him, it won’t be your turn to act."
An original black ant form wasn’t so easy to kill. Setting aside the difficulty of even finding it, he wasn’t confident he could completely eliminate it even if they did.
He couldn’t make a promise he wasn’t sure he could keep.
"I was just asking." Flora Bloom felt a little guilty but quickly hid it. ’Judging by Lex Cross’s reaction, this black ant won’t be easy to deal with.’
After returning to the base, Sherman Lynch was the first to take his leave. Now that the thousand-plus Middle Level zombies were under Flora Bloom’s command, he needed to quickly draw up an offensive and defensive plan for a squad composed primarily of them, just in case.
Ever since leaving Azuregard City for Morhaven, Sherman Lynch seemed to have found his direction and motivation for surviving the apocalypse. Although he could never be the same as before, his current state seemed to be exactly what he wanted.
Countless superpower users had allowed him to flex his talent for strategy and formation, and now he had moved on from arranging superpower users to arranging Middle Level zombies.
This was a challenge he never could have imagined in the peaceful pre-apocalypse era.
However, while everyone in the Morhaven base was busy upgrading and strengthening their superpowers, several other closely-connected bases began to imitate Morhaven’s training methods for superpower users.
Metal Element superpower users trained by strengthening and manufacturing weapons to increase their power’s intensity.
Plant Element superpower users began communicating with evolved plant life to establish contractual relationships.
Water Element users would exhaust their spiritual power, recover with Crystal Cores, and then unleash their superpower to the limit again.
Earth Element users practiced effective control and teamwork during mass superpower releases.
Fire Element users would melt metal parts to exhaust their spiritual power.
Of course, all this information, brought back by so-called superpower users sent by other bases to scout Morhaven, was just what Flora Bloom had intentionally wanted to leak about the training methods.
Undeniably, they had achieved their desired effect.
Only by connecting with each other could the bases compete and grow. Flora Bloom didn’t reject healthy competition, but she detested those who, blinded by envy for Morhaven’s resources, resorted to petty tricks.
Just like the Argent base.
The struggles between the great families were already a form of internal attrition, and now they wanted to use Mason Adler, who had awakened a second superpower, to extend their reach to Morhaven.
And so, after Mason Adler spent several consecutive days at the entrance of Villa Area No. 3 requesting an audience with Flora Bloom, on the fourth day, he was successfully sent back to the Argent base by Lex Cross, who had dispatched Five and Nolan Jennings for the task.
In response, the Adler family from Argent actually used the communication stations to issue a condemnation of Morhaven’s actions to several bases, large and small. They loudly proclaimed that Morhaven was hoarding vast resources instead of sharing them. They insisted that in this apocalypse, scarce resources like food should be shared with everyone, and strongly demanded that Morhaven make the research findings for their awakening serum public.
But Morhaven simply ignored all of this.
Morhaven continued at its own pace. The ordinary people who couldn’t awaken and the superpower users each performed their duties, striving to live their lives while also striving to level up.
Less than six months remained until the third year of the apocalypse, and Polly was now two and a half.
Compared to Selina’s son, the three-year-old Isaac, two-and-a-half-year-old Polly was much taller and looked much sturdier.
Although "sturdy" wasn’t the most fitting word for a little girl, in Flora Bloom’s eyes, sturdy meant healthy. It meant she could take a fall and handle a beating.
The little Nightmare Beast was now even larger than Shadow, with speed rivaling the Golden Crow, and it had gained a new skill. This skill could instantly instill a sense of fear in others, serving as an intimidation tactic.
Everyone in the base, especially those in Villa Area No. 3, had fallen victim to this skill—everyone except Lex Cross. When affected by it, a person would succumb to their deepest fears, becoming trapped and unable to break free.
