Chapter 656 - 655: Divine Realm Corpse Fiend? Invading Blue Star
Chapter 656: Chapter 655: Divine Realm Corpse Fiend? Invading Blue Star
Chu Sheng passed silently through the wall and into the office area.
"Three new corpses from Boling City. The spatial elevator has been opened."
"Seven new corpses from Kafnia City. The spatial elevator has been opened."
"Twelve new corpses from Smego City. The spatial elevator has been opened."
"..."
Hundreds of staff members, like customer service reps on an assembly line, repeated the same terminology with blank expressions.
Chu Sheng did a lap around the area but found nothing out of the ordinary.
It quietly approached the office of the King-level Nipogen.
Just as it reached the door, a female Nipogen pushed it open and walked inside.
Chu Sheng quickly flapped its wings, following the female Nipogen into the office.
Then, it landed silently inside a potted plant on the windowsill, hiding behind the leaves.
The female Nipogen spoke respectfully.
"Lord Giant Eye Demon Lord, a new order has just arrived from the Demon God. We are to open the dome immediately."
The Giant Eye Demon Lord’s enormous compound eye twitched slightly. In a deep voice, it asked, "Is the Void Toad arriving soon?"
The female Nipogen nodded. "Yes, my lord. The Void Toad will arrive in five minutes."
"Understood."
The Giant Eye Demon Lord stood up and walked to the eastern wall.
It reached out and pressed an inconspicuous red button on the wall.
The next second.
A massive rumbling sound echoed from above.
Chu Sheng looked up.
The giant aluminum alloy dome above the massive pit was slowly opening.
’Could it be... all these corpses are food for the Void Toad?’
Based on the conversation between the Giant Eye Demon Lord and his female secretary, Chu Sheng formed a bold hypothesis.
It had seen a Void Toad once before at the Alien Race military base in the Northern Territory.
That creature was impossibly massive, its stomach larger than several hundred Spatial Rings combined.
It shuttled between two planets all day, transporting all sorts of materials.
That must consume a tremendous amount of Energy.
It seemed reasonable that it would need so many corpses for sustenance.
’But there’s no need to be this secretive, is there?’
If it were the Human Race, handling corpses so secretively would be understandable.
After all, humans believe in a proper burial.
With the exception of a few ethnic minorities who practiced sky burials,
most people would find it absolutely unacceptable to know their body would be eaten by a monster after death.
But the Nipogen Race had no such concerns!
The Nipogen Race had a strict hierarchical system.
To a powerhouse, the life or death of an ordinary Nipogen was as insignificant as a passing glance.
Even if ordinary Nipogens knew they would become food for the Void Toad after death, not a single one would dare to even think of resisting.
Chu Sheng felt there was more to this than met the eye.
It temporarily abandoned its plan to have the Outer Body Avatar directly recycle all the Nipogen corpses.
It decided to wait and see.
As the dome opened completely,
a powerful gust of wind howled from above.
Immediately after, an immense shadow enveloped the entire pit.
The Void Toad, which looked like a giant toad, appeared above the pit.
Its body took up nearly the entire horizontal expanse of the opening.
It slowly descended.
Soon, it reached the bottom of the pit.
Then, it opened its massive maw, large enough to swallow a skyscraper.
"CROAK—!"
A deafening croak reverberated throughout the entire underground Space.
Through its Outer Body Avatar at the bottom of the pit, Chu Sheng felt an extremely intense suction force.
The mountain of corpses was lifted into the air, one after another, by the powerful pull.
Then, like a tidal wave, they surged into the Void Toad’s mouth.
Although the suction was powerful,
with Chu Sheng’s strength, it naturally wouldn’t be sucked in.
However, it still had its Outer Body Avatar hide within a pile of corpses.
It entered the Void Toad’s mouth along with the bodies.
At the same time, Chu Sheng left a trace of its Divine Thought on the Outer Body Avatar.
This way, it could use the avatar’s vision to see inside the Void Toad’s stomach and everything that happened next.
The Void Toad’s stomach was not like that of a normal creature.
It was an independent, enormous storage Space.
The Space inside was as large as a small city.
A ceaseless stream of corpses was sucked into this Space.
About half an hour later,
when this "small city" was nearly full of corpses,
the suction finally stopped.
Immediately after, Chu Sheng felt a violent spatial fluctuation.
It instantly realized the Void Toad was about to use a spatial teleport to leave.
Chu Sheng’s main body immediately flew from the windowsill down into the pit.
It quickly reached the bottom.
By now, less than a tenth of the corpses remained.
Chu Sheng didn’t hold back.
With a light wave of its six front legs,
all the remaining corpses were recycled by it.
[Ding! Successfully recycled 90,000 Alien Race corpses!]
[+300,000,000 Life Essence]
’Sweet!’
Chu Sheng was secretly delighted.
This haul had directly netted it 300 million Life Essence!
Sitting in his office, the Giant Eye Demon Lord looked down at the empty pit, its brow slightly furrowed.
’Strange, has this Void Toad’s capacity increased again?’
’How did it eat so cleanly?’
It felt something was off.
So it took a few subordinates and personally went to the bottom of the pit to investigate.
In the end, they found nothing.
It could only assume the Void Toad’s capacity had grown.
It didn’t dwell on it and returned with its subordinates.
Meanwhile, Chu Sheng had already deployed its Boundless Wings and silently departed the underground Space.
It returned to Village Eight, to the cave it was temporarily using as a residence.
It closed its compound eyes and, through its Outer Body Avatar, closely monitored the Void Toad’s situation.
About ten minutes passed.
The Void Toad’s spatial teleport ended.
It came to a stop.
Then, a powerful repulsive force emanated from its stomach.
It began to vomit out all the corpses.
Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar, along with the dense tide of corpses, exited the Void Toad’s stomach.
Outside was a cavern even larger than the previous pit.
Even with millions of corpses piled inside, it didn’t feel crowded in the slightest.
Chu Sheng carefully hid in the hair of a corpse, not making any rash moves.
After vomiting up all the corpses, the Void Toad once again activated its spatial teleport and left the cavern.
Not long after the Void Toad departed,
four figures slowly walked out from the depths of the cavern.
The one at the very front radiated the terrifying aura of the Divine Realm!
It was a genuine Demon God!
The three following it were all King-level Alien Race powerhouses!
"How is the refinement of the Corpse Puppet coming along?" the lead Demon God asked, its voice ice-cold.
A King-level Powerhouse answered respectfully.
"Lord Demon God, with the corpses delivered this time, we have enough materials."
"In one month at most, the Corpse Puppet will be able to ascend to the Divine Realm!"
"Good!" The Demon God’s voice held a trace of unconcealable excitement.
"With this Divine Realm Corpse Puppet, we can immediately launch an all-out assault and occupy Blue Star!"
"This time, Blue Star has no Divine Realm powerhouses. I’d like to see what they use to stop us!"
"We can finally avenge the grudge from 10,000 years ago!"
Just as the leading Demon God was speaking, it suddenly frowned.
It whipped its head around, its gaze locking onto the corpse where Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar was hiding.
’A mosquito?’
A cold glint flashed in the Demon God’s eyes.
With a casual wave of its hand,
a terrifying blast of Energy shot like a lightning bolt toward Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar.
Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar was instantly overcome with the intense feeling of death.
Without the slightest hesitation,
it immediately activated its recycling ability.
[Ding! Successfully recycled 580,000 Alien Race corpses!]
[+1,900,000,000 Life Essence]
In the blink of an eye, half of the mountain of corpses in the cavern vanished.
Only then did the Demon God realize.
This was no ordinary mosquito!
"COURTING DEATH!!!"
Along with a roar of ultimate fury,
the Demon God flashed in front of Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar.
It extended a giant claw and seized Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar.
Then, it squeezed forcefully.
CRACK.
Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar.
Annihilated.
