The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 430 - 401: Success, Mastering the Source Stone?

Chapter 430: Chapter 401: Success, Mastering the Source Stone?

Then... Lin Guang’s consciousness suddenly fell into a certain mysterious state.

He began to fall once again.

A powerful yet anticipated attraction guided him back to that place.

The golden ocean in his heart.

That serene silence, unchanged, like a place of belonging...

Inner Universe.

Under the high, distant darkness, was an endless golden ocean.

Structures like trees and towers, with their tops piercing deep into the dark sky, stood on the other side of the horizon.

And the young man in the black hood once again stood in the center of the sea, quietly standing on the golden water.

The young man lifted his head, looking at the dark sky.

This time, he finally saw something.

It was...

In the darkness, hidden in a very high and far place, a white rhombus.

The shape of this rhombus was like an eye.

The top of the giant tower seemed to be trying to pierce the sky, approaching this white rhombus.

"The same as always?"

Lin Guang felt a sense of peace and fulfillment rising from the bottom of his heart, but his face showed an expression like a struggle, a cold indifference.

Compared to last time, his will was clear, so without hesitation, he stepped forward again, advancing towards the Tower of Babel.

He knew that to leave here, he had to enter that tower.

...

The process of refining the Divine Object was carried out with grand spectacle.

Thud thud—

Thud thud—

Dark golden radiance intertwined with golden light, forming a scene both magnificent and splendid.

The entire underground cavity was illuminated by this brilliant light, leaving no trace of darkness. Kaiwen and "W3" stood within the light, controlling all ethereal fluctuations to prevent them from overflowing, leaving only a shadow-like silhouette, even making the faces of the three girls standing behind the glass wall look bright.

But their eyes were full of worry.

Vishdair, standing behind the glass wall, had a somewhat uneasy and impatient expression. Chelina’s amber eyes flickered as she silently clutched the clothes with Lin Guang’s scent in her arms.

Lisa bit her lip, hugging a black stuffed rabbit tightly against her chest as if to sink it inside.

Previously, Kaiwen had revealed to them the consequences if Lin Guang fully utilized the inheritance.

The will within the Source Stone, after he was infected with the Ore Disease, had become one with him, becoming his instinct.

This meant that as his talent or soul grew stronger, the Ore Disease within him would also grow in sync.

More importantly... his mind would be affected as well.

Lin Guang chose to face the will each time he used the Heaven Refining Acupoint, attempting to understand, control, and tame it. But was it not also true in reverse?

In this situation, even if the three knew that this was the necessary pain to seize destiny while courage and vigor were still there, they couldn’t help but worry about Lin Guang’s condition deep down.

Would he fall into a coma like last time?

Five hours passed, ten hours passed...

Late at night.

Beep beep beep—

Suddenly, an instrument nearby sounded, not loud, but piercingly sharp in the silence, drawing the trio’s attention.

It was the alarm sound from the Spirit Rune Array.

Behind the glass wall, all bathed in golden light as always, Kaiwen on the platform finally moved.

Her slender fingers left afterimages on the screen, with the surrounding ether flow also starting to change. "W3" coordinated with her actions, trying to control the surrounding ethereal environment as much as possible.

The screen on the Meditation Pod showed Lin Guang’s body scan, with a part of his body rapidly turning red, every line corresponding to a nerve muscle and blood vessel.

The silver markings on the surface of the metallic cylinder grew brighter, and the exhaust vents around the Meditation Pod automatically opened and closed, spraying streams of ether interwoven with various hues.

As the Evolution Level deepened incrementally, even dark golden arcs became visible to the naked eye on the surface of the Meditation Pod, with Spiritual Power surging like a tide, unreservedly impacting the Spirit Rune Array.

The young man inside the Meditation Pod seemed to be fighting something, endlessly emitting light and heat, with a strong aura but appearing somewhat unstable.

This urgent operation did not exceed ten minutes.

Beep—

Finally, with a clear sound from the machine, the Spirit Rune Array slowly came to a halt, with the spirit patterns inside the space dimming, and the lid of the Meditation Pod slowly opening upwards.

Ss—

Steam billowed, as if the liquid inside had evaporated at an extremely high temperature.

The three girls immediately entered through the glass wall, urgently arriving at the platform.

Amidst the swirling white mist, Lin Guang’s well-proportioned figure gradually became clear, with those dark golden eyes being noticed first—although fiercely burning, but with a clear expression, giving them slight relief.

The young man with the faint shadow of a Black Crown on his head took a deep breath and immediately stood up, stepping out of the Meditation Pod.

The solution dripped off him, with needle-shaped discs falling off from his skin.

His aura was significantly enhanced compared to before entering the Meditation Pod, stronger, yet carrying a slight chill.

At the sight of the young man’s appearance, their pupils constricted sharply.

His body appeared mostly unchanged.

But...

Only one area had altered.

That was his left leg.

Black crystals, beginning in an irregular jagged pattern, started covering the skin from halfway down his thigh. It had no menacing spikes, nor was it thick, but evoked a cold, non-human, inorganic feeling.

His calf and left foot seemed to have turned into a cold, black prosthetic.

Can it still move like this?!

Still a creature of flesh and blood?

"How are you!" Vishdair’s Demon tail was tensed straight, a flash of panic passing through amber eyes, "You..."

Chelina’s breathing suddenly became intense, and her wolf tail instantly stiffened.

Lisa’s stepping foot also halted, a glimmer appearing in her eyes.

Even Kaiwen, having known Lin Guang’s physical condition from the instruments long ago, couldn’t help but clench her hands upon seeing him this way, unconsciously.

—Body Cell Fusion Rate 38%.

More than a third of his entire body was now composed of Source Stone.

Lin Guang was unlike any Ore Disease patient she had ever seen; in him, the ore crystals displayed a certain degree of docility.

But this only accentuated that cold and inorganic non-human sensation.

"You..." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Hearing their calls, Lin Guang shook his head, and soon came back to his senses, his eyes refocusing.

"It’s okay, this is controllable."

Lin Guang smiled as he spoke: "Director Kong is right, if it can twist me, there’s no reason I can’t reverse and control it."
