Crazy Bloom

Inside the dark town, Pu Sheng regarded the three communicators with a hint of regret.

Today's rule was not to look at each other for more than three seconds, a rule that had quickly ensnared the three newcomers, leading to their rapid downfall under extreme weakness buffs. The rules had easily claimed the lives of the three gold medians. While it was unfortunate, Pu Sheng felt no surprise; if Charles had rushed in with his team, that would have truly caught him off guard.

The impending confrontation would take place tonight.

He looked down and said calmly, "The creation of the Divine Evil has reached a critical point. As you can see, many Dawn teams have gathered outside. We cannot allow them to disrupt the stability of the Divine Evil over the next few days. We need to consolidate our manpower."

"We've already notified them, but we are still uncertain about tomorrow's rules," the Night Cultist in the faceless mask replied, then added, "Everything is for the Supreme Order."

The Night Cultists were, in fact, members of the Night Rose, a mysterious team formed by the most gifted from Dawn. Although they had their complaints about the Lady of Night, deep-seated fears bound them, compelling them to follow her guidance without question.

Having evaded Lady Night's detection mechanisms, Pu Sheng was free to use his powers without suspicion. Given the unique abilities of each Night Cultist, it was common for these geniuses to awaken special powers.

Pu Sheng nodded. "Please exercise caution, but avoid bringing too many people. I suspect those outside are not the only ones present."

He paused, then continued, "I need to visit the mayor's house. His power is significant, and we may require his support."

"This falls outside the rules," the Night Cultist warned.

In the rule area, individuals conforming to certain laws could be eroded by those rules, transforming into strange and powerful monsters. In this small town, the most formidable rule-based creature was the mayor. If this place were a game, he would be the final boss.

Bosses follow the rules; as members of the Cult of Night, they could not alter any of them. They could only detain those who violated specific rules and could only eliminate rule monsters if resistance occurred during the arrest.

It was a cumbersome system, but it was the way Lady Night preferred it. Their lives were in her hands, leaving them no choice but to obey.

"I understand, but as the mayor, he has an obligation to protect his townspeople. That is also a rule," Pu Sheng replied, turning sharply to enter the city.

Compared to the White Plague, Charles was the person Pu Sheng feared most. However, the White Plague had yet to make an appearance, and unease began to settle within him. He felt the weight of an invisible sword—sharp and relentless. He needed to retain some ability to handle emergencies; otherwise, he feared he would fail this time.

[You created Frenzy × 9, Experience Points +930,000, Free Attribute Points +5, Skill Points +3, Extra Experience Points +930,000.]

[Your light side level has reached 55.]

[You created a new transformation based on the frenzy transformation, named: Frenzy Bloom.]

Name: Frenzy Bloom

Attributes: Flesh and blood transformation

Effect: Significant improvements in strength, agility, endurance, and intelligence, with a minimum of 400+, depending on the modified subject and materials.

Negative Effect: Madness·Bloom will not give birth to reason; its quietness simply accumulates strength, which will inevitably bloom and destroy all living things in its path, including itself.

Transformation Requirements: The transformed body must be lower silver, and the transformer's frenzy proficiency must be full.

Introduction: This is an extreme and chaotic transformation, suppressing itself like the calm before a storm, which always delivers the most extreme shock—White Plague.

Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had failed twice previously because the frenzied transformation was considered a variant, and he had not fully grasped it. If a new transformation skill had not appeared on the panel, his failure rate might have been even higher.

Fortunately, after earning three skill points, Bai Yi's understanding of frenzy had nearly surpassed that of evil thoughts, making this transformation highly extensible.

Glancing at his panel, he saw he now had over 3.7 million experience points stored, requiring 3 million experience points to level up. However, he planned to hold onto these points, as upgrading would enhance his spirit. He wanted to use the extra experience points after completing an extreme mission.

For now, he would upgrade naturally.

He allocated all free attribute points to intelligence, raising his light side intelligence to 465, even at level 55. Although acquiring free attribute points was becoming increasingly difficult, he was confident he could reach 800 points before level 80.

Most importantly, while his light side level was low, his dark side level was notably high.

Although there was no displayed level, various data comparisons indicated he had surpassed Charles, who was level 65, and likely sat around level 68.

Comment: He hunted down a God! Absorbing its blood, he evolved into a living being. Perhaps it's better termed: God's Evil!

Bai Yi was satisfied with his current growth, yet he knew he had to restrict the dark side's growth. He estimated that once the highest attribute point of the dark side surpassed 650, risks of losing control would arise, and he was uncertain when all tests from the Soul Tower would conclude.

Thus, White Plague would do its utmost to let the Blade of Extreme Evil absorb malice, blood, and souls from its kills. Only when the Blade of Evil broke through to gold would its true power be revealed.

After checking his skill points, which had returned to ten, Bai Yi stretched, his bones cracking in relief.

[Is there a fight going on over there?]

Zero: [We are still waiting, but the first direct conflict is expected tonight.]

As Zero reported, a series of images appeared before Bai Yi—mechanical mosquitoes and flies, all performing surveillance duties.

Zero had originally been designed as an assistant to the alchemist, helping manage machinery, record experimental data, and guide experiments. After all, when the alchemist created the AI, Dawn had no internet.

The images relayed by the mechanical insects depicted the town at night, still steeped in depression.

The mechanical mosquito did not target Charles and the Dawn team directly; after all, the strong possess sharp eyes. The presence of cameras could arouse their suspicion and risk destruction.

In a lawless place, alchemists typically avoided random observation of others.

Alongside the images, snippets of conversation emerged, quickly adjusted into a cacophony of noise. Bai Yi listened closely, grasping the essence of a crucial point.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Disputes arose among the Dawn Team members upon entering Night Town, as they spread today's rules. Charles later claimed it was a trick of Night Town.

The strong are highly attuned to sight but tend to underreact to sound, especially in crowded settings. Thus, Lilia, equipped with mechanical insects, served to weaken Charles and act as his eyes.

After listening for a while, Bai Yi shut off the screen and gazed at the ten Frenzy Blooms.

After some contemplation, he decided not to take them with him but headed toward the king's new bedroom.

He realized that the confrontation between Charles and Pu Sheng would likely not determine a winner tonight. There was a 90% chance the clash would halt due to Pu Sheng unleashing the White Plague.

If Bai Yi were in Pu Sheng's position, he would certainly recognize that Charles remained unaware of his entrance while attacking at full strength.

And if Bai Yi were in Charles' shoes, he would withdraw upon hearing such news and reorganize his strategy, leading to a brief period of peace.

Thus, Bai Yi intended to test some operations related to Frenzy Bloom first.

However, he couldn't be certain they would align with his plans; he was merely judging others by his own standards.

Even as a test, Bai Yi's gaze would remain fixed on Night Town. Should the encounter escalate into a decisive battle, he would have ample time to intervene.

In short, he possessed more options in the shadows.

As Bai Yi entered the king's bedroom, familiar noises greeted him.

He glanced at the setting sun, now resting on the horizon, feeling speechless.

The king's life remained in his hands, yet he still had the audacity to ponder such matters.

Bai Yi released a portion of his aura, and the commotion inside suddenly ceased.

About thirty seconds later, a force pushed open the door, revealing Wardle, now clad in royal robes, with a glum expression. His voice was notably polite: "Mr. Gula, do you have any instructions?"

"Prepare a copy of your kingdom's rule zone information for me. I'll need it in two hours," Bai Yi instructed. "Also, do you have any mithril or gold minerals in your kingdom?"

Bai Yi refrained from asking about the soul mine. The conditions for soul mines were exceedingly harsh. Even in the world created by God, significant development time was required before they could emerge.

One-tenth of the stars in the sky are worlds created by God to cultivate soul mines, so under normal circumstances, even if soul veins appeared in this world, they would be mined in advance by Lady of the Night.

No one would refuse soul resources, even terrifying beings of dimensional turbulence.

However, gold crystals and mithril were different. Although these materials were valuable, gods typically dismissed them, as anything that did not carry rules could be created with their divine power.

"There are two," Wardle replied, some reluctance evident in his tone. He understood the implications but felt powerless; such was the plight of the weak.

"Include that information in the rules area and send it here as well," Bai Yi said, turning to head back to the laboratory to set up the teleportation array.

He still needed to venture to Night Town. With the mechanical mosquitoes and flies providing precise positioning, he could return at any time.

Bai Yi hoped he was mistaken. If Charles truly overstepped, he could safely accept victory.

Once the teleportation array was configured, Bai Yi retrieved the Blade of Extreme Evil and the blood pool he had won from the devil. He opened the wooden box slightly and inserted the scalpel inside.

Bai Yi had delayed the matter of the Evil Blade absorbing the blood pool due to previous busyness and the looming threat of confrontation.

The current growth rate of the Evil Blade stood at 7%. He hoped it would not differ too drastically after absorbing this blood.

After all, the leap from silver to gold was not akin to the transition from ordinary to bronze, and rapid growth was no longer feasible.

As night descended, it was now nine o'clock, with three hours remaining before the rules refreshed.

The king finally arrived, meeting Bai Yi's two-hour deadline.

Bai Yi took the two documents, opened the rules area one, and began to read.

Wardle lingered, primarily out of fear.

Bai Yi quickly perused the information on the kingdom's five rule areas. His space ring flickered, prompting several mosquitoes and flies to dart toward Wardle. "Please help me deliver this to the forbidden high school."

Wardle paused but asked no questions, accepting the mechanical insects and departing.

Bai Yi was pleased with these diligent workers. He mentally instructed, [Pay attention to the movements of Night Town at all times.]

After issuing the command, he turned his gaze to the Frenzy Blooms huddled in the corner.

The test he envisioned was straightforward.

Frenzy Bloom's characteristic is that when attacked, its specialty [Storm Soul] shatters, converting into bloom power.

The teleportation array could cause concussive effects, effectively serving as a spatial attack.

When combined, it would target a substantial boss directly, akin to striking a foe mid-move. This combination would be both satisfying and exhilarating—an experience only those who faced it could truly appreciate.

Moreover, Frenzy Bloom's attributes would continue to escalate during combat, impervious to any debuffs.

Though its lifespan may be short, this represents the ultimate weapon of war envisioned by White Plague, surpassing even the deterrent power of intercontinental missiles.

After all, missile power is fixed, while a boss can go berserk upon teleportation, wreaking havoc on anyone in its vicinity.
