Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 521 - 476: Like an Old Friend

"Close the net," Dai Jing uttered indifferently.

The iron capsule emitted a massive metallic tremor, and immediately thereafter, it seemed as though a giant capsule clamped shut, securely locking Wu Hen inside!

"Dammit!!! You've screwed me over again!!"

The moment the iron capsule closed, Wu Hen's angry curse could be heard from inside.

Dai Jing did not reply, only let out a laugh.

At the same time, the other two iron capsules were triggered, confining the observer and sniper Lu Xian together with Guo Hong within them.

The material of this iron capsule was peculiar; once trapped inside, the body would be compressed by the capsule's substance, rendering it impossible to exert any Qi, including disabling any weapons on the person, akin to a powerful beetle trapped in bubble gum.

Wu Hen cursed frantically inside the capsule.

Capsizing in the gutter!!

Such a bad woman, using his altruistic heart to make him work for her.

He had been blinded by her complex bodily structure, leading to all sorts of assumptions that now seemed misguided in hindsight. His initial judgment was correct; this woman was not simple and shared similarities with him, but her real intentions were definitely not as straightforward as they seemed.

"We each sought what we needed, only that I required more," Dai Jing said with a laugh.

As she spoke, she approached the Black Angel whose umbilical core had been torn.

She grabbed the Black Angel, then forcibly ripped the black collar from the angel's neck.

"Dai Ting, they've turned you into this, I know your soul is trapped in this dirty, humble, and vile shell, suffering incessantly, never able to find peace. Since no god would lead you and me, along with our suffering brethren, it shall be I who takes the place of a god to do what must be done. I will personally end you and everyone else… none shall be spared..." Dai Jing said these words, but suddenly kissed the Black Angel.

At Dai Jing's tongue, there was a Purple Pearl; she gently bit into the pearl, then fed the liquid within to the Black Angel.

With nowhere to hide, the purple purifying liquid seeped into her entire tongue, gradually spreading to her throat, chest, lungs, heart and other organs.

Like deadly snake venom, Dai Jing's kiss lethally ended the Black Angel's life in a very unique way. The cruelty and lasciviousness on the Black Angel's face slowly faded, replaced by an innocent, girlish face, pale as death with no difference from a corpse.

Feathers from her dark wings fell one by one like wilted black roses around her purified, unique body, forming a tragically beautiful flower burial. As the "poison" in the purple liquid suffused every inch of her skin, her body slowly disintegrated into poisonous blossoms. As these blossoms made contact with air, they burned up, and before her disintegrating body could fall amidst the feathered flower burial, she had already turned to ashes.

Wu Hen, despite being trapped in the iron capsule, could clearly see this unfolding.

The Black Angel was purified in a supremely holy manner, meaning he couldn't report back to Marquis Changqiu nor track down the High-dimensional Essence Ghost Fragment…

However, Wu Hen realized something: Dai Jing was not just a lowly being struggling against fate in this Doomsday Wasteland; she was doing the work of a god, redeeming those lives corroded and tormented by the Mutant Condensed Liquid in the way she deemed right.

"Who are you!" Wu Hen questioned.

Dai Jing had eliminated the Black Angel and started collecting her flower burial feathers.

These feathers, having absorbed the ashes of the Black Angel, once again displayed a phantom-like state, floating up and attaching themselves to Dai Jing's back.

The Black Angel's feathers once again spread, now becoming Dai Jing's wings, while her body merged human structural complexity with porcelain metallic material, momentarily embodying three entities: Human God, Mechanical Ascender, Alien Emperor...

"If you are just an Alien Traveler, then please leave as quickly as possible," Dai Jing advised Wu Hen without further explaining her actions, her gaze fixed in another direction.

Suddenly, she pointed a finger, and the black feathers that had just formed behind her transformed into a Black Angel Puppet Soul and flew off.

In just a few seconds, screams emanated from a dark corner, revealing the Black Angel Puppet Soul enveloping three people dressed in cloaks that could turn invisible, who thought they were well hidden, but both Wu Hen and Dai Jing were aware of their presence.

They were three men sent by Marquis Changqiu and belonged to the Black Shirt Organization's Detectives.

They believed they cleverly controlled everything here, not knowing they were but three mice hiding on a beam.

After accomplishing her objective, Dai Jing unhesitatingly killed these three men to prevent any unfavorable information from getting back.

The three Black Shirt Organization Detectives were instantly killed, leaving the Black Deacon Corps members who had previously aimed their guns at Dai Jing utterly shocked; they watched this extremely well-hidden vice leader with vigilance and fear…

One could imagine, even if they had smoothly made it here, Dai Jing would eventually personally settle things with Leader Zhu and these three Detectives.

"I spare your lives, but from now on, you will have only one leader," Dai Jing declared, her tone distinctly different from before.

Directly killing the three detectives was not for Wu Hen to see, but for the Black Deacon Corps to observe, letting those within the corps harboring thoughts know that taking down a high-ranking Black Deacon was as easy as turning over a hand for her!

"Yes, Leader Dai!"

"Leader Dai, the person before fed us poisoned Life Pearls. We should first think of a way to detoxify," said the young man previously.

"Execute them as well, after all, their stance differs from ours. Since they work for Marquis Changqiu and will inform him of the situation here once they return, it's not favorable for us," expressed a Transformed Person who had always been loyal to Dai Jing.

Dai Jing shook her head, explaining, "He didn't actually poison you."

"But still, to avoid prolonging the night filled with dreams…" a Black Butler remarked.

Dai Jing stared at Wu Hen, still shaking her head.

She could feel that Wu Hen might also be no ordinary individual.

Before it came to matters of life and death or absolute interests, there was no need to push such a person into a desperate situation.

"Take this, although it's not as valuable as what Marquis Changqiu promised you, it should at least make your trip here worthwhile. Let's keep to our own paths from now on," Dai Jing said, handing Wu Hen a specimen code marked with numbers.

The specimen code was golden with more complex numbers and apparently required a bit of Yuan You to activate.

"Those with the Red Umbilical Core, are they all transformed from humans? Do you know this Black Angel's name, and what is your relationship with her?" Wu Hen asked.

"Why are you curious about these things?" Dai Jing asked, puzzled.

"Is it possible that I am here as a Divine Messenger to guide these lives?" Wu Hen raised his eyebrow.

Dai Jing burst into a radiant smile upon hearing this.

It was probably a long time since she last heard such an innocently naive joke, like encountering an ignorant child on the road whose words, though childlike, carried strength.

"Believing you would be worse than just doing it myself," Dai Jing's smile slowly faded, then added with a hint of provocation, "With your character that's easily deceived by women, you won't become anything profound in this Desert Dust."

"Perhaps I'm only deceived by you because you remind me of someone I once knew," Wu Hen said.

"What kind of person could make the clever and cunning you like a raw recruit?" Dai Jing asked curiously.

"That was many years ago, when I first stepped into this perilous otherworldly realm. She guided my direction and taught me how to survive here. You could say she was my mentor..." Wu Hen said.

"Then your mentor hasn't taught you enough, or else you wouldn't have fallen into my hands," Dai Jing did not continue the conversation and pointed at the Iron Capsule, "In one hour, it will automatically soften. Farewell."

"We will meet again, young lady," Wu Hen also managed to free one hand, politely waving goodbye.

Dai Jing walked a great distance away until the metal door was about to close, her gaze finally returned to Wu Hen trapped in the Iron Capsule, her eyes flashing with a mix of perplexity and bewilderment.

...

The capsule finally softened.

But once again deceived by a woman...

This darn capsule took a full three hours to soften!

Luckily, the organisms inside this embryo were isolated by the capsule and wouldn't attack Wu Hen and others; otherwise, trapping themselves like this would be no different from being thrown directly into a crocodile pool.

"When I was observing earlier, there was a golden vault door over there. I wonder if the code corresponds to what's inside," Guo Hong said.

Perhaps to ease the embarrassment of being deceived by a woman, Guo Hong made no mention of the recent events.

Lu Xian wanted to say some angry words, feeling their kindness had gone to waste, but Guo Hong immediately shook his head at her.

Wu Hen, holding that golden specimen code, unlocked the vault.

Indeed, inside was a very advanced refrigeration room, prominently displaying several Life Pearls in the cooler above.

One of the Life Pearls was like a miniature sun, burning with solar energy inside, quite dazzling and exceptionally special.

Wu Hen approached and took it down.

Even without discerning, Wu Hen knew this was an Eighth Rank Life Pearl!

Without further thought, he swallowed the Eighth Rank Life Pearl, and the instantly dissolving sun-like Life Pearl released a tremendous amount of Life Energy inside Wu Hen!

This Life Energy even disturbed the Holy Soul Disaster resting within Wu Hen; the mountain and river landscape it created actually required energy akin to this carrying the source power of creation...

From Life Seventh Rank evolving towards Life Eighth Rank, three layers of Crown Radiance appeared around Wu Hen's body, and as the Eighth Rank energy brilliance radiated within him, these three layers of external Crown Radiance successively shattered.

Each layer of Crown Radiance represented a layer of Life Cocoon, unlike Guo Hong and Lu Xian, who produced Life Silk, his evolution was more subtle, yet incredibly divine!
