Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: Chapter 522: The Task of Death

Chapter 527: Chapter 522: The Task of Death

Noticing Schuck smoothly managing everything, Bai Qi also shook himself out of his daze. He came to Schuck’s side and asked, “Schuck, why did you buy so many materials?”

Schuck replied, “The scale of the battles we’re facing is increasing. It’s not enough to rely on Etherium Liquid Gold in collaboration with the Mechanical Lord anymore, so I plan to create some external armaments to enhance our fighting strength.”

“External armament?”

Bai Qi gazed at the ten metal cubes in front of him, amazed, “Are you sure you’re not planning to build a battleship?”

“Battleship? Why would I need such a cumbersome thing?”

Schuck shook his head, “Even if I wanted one, I would wait until after I reach the Emperor-level.”

“That’s true.”

Like Wang Chen’s Morning Star, almost all combat Mechanical Pet Beasts eventually tread the path of large-scale war machinery, although very few can match the level of the Morning Star.

But there’s a common point. The construction of larger war machinery should be delayed as long as possible.

The upgrade pace of Mechanical Beast compared to other series, after all, is considerably fast. Technology and materials, whenever either advances, the Mechanical Beast needs an upgrade.

Small mechanical beasts are one thing, but the cost to update battleships, large machines, is a bit too much.

“By the way, it seems you signed a contract with Black and White earlier?”

Bai Qi queried curiously.

“Of course, the materials you provided as a Beast Master were a friendly contribution, but these are my private collection and of course, can’t be given for free.”

Schuck nodded, “Additionally, from one point of view, we got involved in this matter due to Black and White. It’s necessary to clear everything up.”

“That’s true.”

Bai Qi nodded, then looked at the contract signed by Black and White. But after only a glance, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.

“Even though everything should be clarified, isn’t this a bit too ruthless?”

“If you look at the transaction methods of the five major financial groups, you wouldn’t think so.”

Schuck shook his head, “Moreover, in a way, I’m helping Black and White solve their future problems.”

Noting the contract demands, indeed, Black and White might have to work for him for the rest of their lives; it did solve their future problems.

“But aren’t you afraid that this guy will go back on his word?”

Bai Qi handed the contract back to Schuck, “As the controller of the Secret Realm, Black and White can directly throw us out.”

“He wouldn’t dare.”

Jerry suddenly interjected, “I’ve imposed the power of Judgment Scale on this contract. If he backs out, he’ll suffer a strong curse.”

Bai Qi: “… Jerry, you didn’t absorb and turn dark with the Soul Storage Bead, did you? You’re pretty ruthless.”

“Of course it is, fooling him…”

Looking at the visibly stiff Black and White in the distance, Jerry showed a smile at the corner of his mouth and quietly revealed the truth to Bai Qi through the contract.

“You’re indeed… brilliantly cunning!”

Although he obtained the rune structure of the Dual Sky Mech and Black and White would give him the Law Emperor’s Insight soon, he still needed time to study them.

If he could directly transfer the production line, could there be a better option?

Furthermore, he wouldn’t have to worry about constructing his Secret Realm Tower in the future~

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face, “Let’s go and help Black and White fix the Twin Towers quickly.”

…

With the strong resource supply from Schuck, the repair progress of the Twin Towers increased again, and the shaking outside finally stopped.

Nicholas opened his eyes, carefully sensing, “The Black Dragon should have left. I can’t feel the vibrations from the ground.”

“It was indiscriminately looking for our residual presence just now. For safety’s sake, let’s wait a while longer before going out,” Bai Qi nodded, but didn’t choose to risk it considering the power gap with the Black Dragon.

“Okay.”

Nicholas agreed, then closed his eyes again, seeking the power lurking in his bloodline.

As one of the Western Five-Colored Giant Dragons, his power was somewhat weak. He had to increase it as quickly as possible.

“Okay!”

Just then, with a violent quake and an excited shout from Black and White, the halted fusion process of the Black and White Twin Towers restarted. The runes on the tower top, body, and base gradually became harmonious.

Finally, after the last rune was lit, the complete appearance of the Black and White Twin Towers was revealed before Bai Qi.

“Finally, collected all the stuff the old geezer left~”

Black and White seemed a little excited, wiped a nonexistent tear from the corner of their eye, then turned to Bai Qi and bowed seriously.

“Bai Qi, thank you truly for this time. If not for you, I might never have been able to restore the Twin Towers. I really am…”

“Stop!”

Bai Qi cut off Black and White in the middle of a sentence, stretching his hand toward him, “We’ve found the bottom of the tower, you should give me the Law Emperor’s Insight now, right?”

“So indifferent. You’d definitely get along well with the doddering Law Emperor.”

Black and White sighed, shook his head, but still adhered to their previous agreement. After some adjustments on the Secret Realm Tower, a bare, white cube appeared in front of Bai Qi.

“Another Rubik’s Cube? No, it’s just one cube; this is the Law Emperor’s Insight?”

Bai Qi looked up and down the cube, unable to discern anything of significance.

“That’s right, this is the Law Emperor’s Insight.”

Black and White nodded, watching Bai Qi who was still fumbling around with the cube. “Per the old man’s demands, only those with a profound understanding of runes can read his insight. It might require some effort on your part.”

“Let me be clear beforehand, I can’t help you with this. I’m just a steward after all.”

“Need a profound understanding of the runes, huh?”

Bai Qi understood and wasn’t in a hurry anymore. He put away the Law Emperor’s Insight and said, “Since the Gemini Tower has been repaired and we can’t go out for the time being, why not tell me about the Law Emperor, Black and White?”

“The old man’s story? There’s nothing particularly exciting about that.”

Black and White shook his head at this suggestion, “That old guy spends all day fiddling with all kinds of odd things, and he’s quite slippery. I can’t stand it. I don’t understand why humans are so keen to follow him.”

Howl…howl!

(Human, it feels like Black and White is talking about you!)

“Beat it! When have I ever been sly!”

Bai Qi heavily pounded a fist on Beta and turned his gaze toward Black and White, “I encountered a Molten Rock Demon Tiger in the Twilight Tomb. He claimed to be the Law Emperor’s assistant. Do you know him?”

“Twilight Tomb? Lil’ Fire, he’s still alive?”

Black and White seemed surprised at this revelation. “The last time I saw Lil’ Fire was in the Twilight Tomb. However, after that, the old man threw me into the Gemini Tower and I haven’t seen him since.”

“So you do know him. But why doesn’t the Molten Rock Demon Tiger remember you?”

Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled.

“It’s normal that he doesn’t remember me, considering how different I look now.”

Black and White appeared reluctant to talk about this topic further, “As I recall, when the old man created the Gemini Tower, it was because of something he discovered in the Twilight Tomb. If you continue exploring, you might find some clues left by the old man.”

“Because of the Twilight Tomb? Are you referring to the Lamentation Tower and the Tower of Gratitude?”

Bai Qi seemed to understand. The ice and fire attribute undead in the Water and Fire Gemini Towers were clearly grabbed from the fifth and sixth levels of the Twilight Tomb. Even if he encountered the Law Emperor’s aftermath in the subsequent levels, Bai Qi wouldn’t find it strange.

“Lamentation Tower and Tower of Gratitude? I’m talking about this Black and White Twin Towers.”

Black and White looked puzzled at Bai Qi, “Didn’t you steal the Evil Energy Core that the old man found from the Black Sky Mech before?”

“Evil Energy Core?”

At this, Bai Qi was startled. He suddenly stood up, “Are you saying there was something left by the Demon Clan in the Twilight Tomb?”

“Of course.”

Black and White nodded, glancing at Alpha who was practicing nearby, “The old man originally explored the Twilight Tomb in the hopes of finding a way to counter the power of death from the Undead Clan.”

“Although he didn’t find a way, he unexpectedly discovered that Evil Energy Core and developed the Dual Sky Mech based on it.”

Black and White suddenly looked gloomy as he continued, “But before the old man had a chance to share this with the world, his life was nearly at its end. He told me to hide the pinnacle of the Twin Towers in our tribe and wait for the right moment.”

“As for what happened afterward, I’m not so sure.”

Listening to Black and White’s account, Bai Qi had an epiphany.

The records in the Tower of Knowledge did not mention where the Law Emperor found the two peculiar stones. Apparently, they were found in the Twilight Tomb.

“Hold on, you said the Law Emperor was looking for a way to combat the power of death. Does that mean the Law Emperor had once encountered adversaries with the power of death?”

Bai Qi suddenly looked at Black and White, asking.

“That’s right. And the old man nearly died during that encounter.”

Black and White nodded, looking at Bai Qi: “It seems, you’ve encountered death as well, haven’t you?”

Bai Qi nodded. Since the Emperor’s Secret Realm, he seemed to have a mysterious connection with death, encountering related events wherever he went. He hoped to get more useful information from Black and White to deal with such encounters in the future.

“The old man wasn’t clear about the origin of death, but was quite certain about one thing.”

Black and White paused before stating, “Death is here to destroy the world.”

“Destroy the world… ”

Bai Qi was silent as he heard this, but didn’t feel surprised at all.

Whether it was the Blood of Death from the Emperor’s Secret Realm, the Black Mist Serpent from the Sun Secret Realm, or the World-ending Sea-beast in the sea.

All of these things associated with death held pretty much the same status in legends.

A God of Destruction!
