Chapter 389 - The Weapon Race! Alice’s Decision!

The Sword Demon clan among the weapon races could be said to be the ancestors of the Darkin.

After the extinction of the Sword Demon clan, their lingering resentment transformed into Darkin amidst war and bloodshed.

At this moment.

The Ominous Blade began to tremble frantically.

Streams of black-red liquid began to spread from the sword hilt, crawling like venomous snakes toward Alice's wrist.

She couldn't throw it away even if she wanted to.

Sylph immediately appeared and said, "Princess Alice, the Darkin's power can no longer be suppressed. He has suddenly become extremely agitated. I will consume all my life force to suppress him. Please revive me later in the Howling Abyss..."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone's expressions became grave.

How did things suddenly become so serious?

"Lady Sylph, can't you normally suppress him effectively? Why is it suddenly not working now?!"

Alice asked urgently.

Having spent so much time with Sylph, she was very concerned and reluctant to part.

Sylph explained, "This guy has been constantly absorbing the power of slaughter and blood, then hiding it away. I don't know why he suddenly went berserk today - he's no longer under my control."

As she spoke, violent winds began swirling all around!

The humans and monsters in the evil city were so frightened they fled.

It was like the apocalypse had arrived.

Sylph was already prepared to consume all her life force, but fortunately elemental spirits don't truly die - after death they can be revived and become even stronger.

Suddenly, a fierce and chilling voice rang out from the Ominous Blade, "Wait! I mean no harm. I just sensed a familiar aura and wanted to investigate!"

Hearing this.

Lin Tian also spoke up, "Sylph, let him come out. No matter how strong the Darkin is, he poses no threat to us now."

"You can't say that. A complete Darkin has power equal to a God King, but he doesn't advocate for battle - he only incites war, feeding on the cruel bloodthirst and fearful despair that erupts during warfare."

Luo Ai'er said at this time.

She was a God King of the old divine court, and her era had living Darkin, so she understood them very well.

She then added, "However, this Darkin is nowhere near complete form, so there's no threat."

With that.

Sylph finally relented.

More and more black-red liquid crawled up Alice's wrist.

Finally it merged with Alice's entire right hand and half her face.

Her originally azure right eye became blood red with a vertical pupil!

It emanated intense bloody and unsettling aura.

"This, this is a creation of the Sword Demon clan. Why would it appear here?!"

Alice touched the Sword Demon heavy armor, but her voice was low and hoarse, particularly chilling.

At this moment she was already controlled by the Darkin.

Lin Tian looked at him coldly, "This is a dwarven creation. What exactly do you want to do?"

Suddenly!

The Darkin shuddered and turned to look at Lin Tian with shock in his eyes, "You, you're that goblin from before? Impossible! How could you have grown to this extent!"

"I'm asking you a question..."

Lin Tian's voice suddenly turned cold and threatening.

The Darkin completely abandoned all his scheming thoughts and became serious, "Lord Goblin, let me be honest with you. Previously I might have planned to seize Alice's body, but now seeing your growth rate, I can't keep up at all, so I want to cooperate."

Hearing this, Lin Tian sneered, "Do you have the qualifications to negotiate terms?"

"Gulp..."

Everyone was made somewhat tense by the unsettling aura emanating from the Darkin.

They hadn't expected that facing such an evil and sinister creature, Lin Tian could remain so calm and even threaten it in return.

Even Luo Ai'er was affected by the unease. Indeed, it takes evil to subdue evil.

The Darkin's eye twitched, but he still said, "Alice is ultimately human, with very weak limits on her strength. Excluding equipment and the power you've given her, she's at most Demon King level. Don't you want her to truly transform?"

Looking at those evil, profound eyes.

Everyone was gradually drawn in, very curious.

Lin Tian remained unmoved, "I'll give you one chance. Say the key point - the key point that will please me! Otherwise you will cease to exist."

Such evil creatures are good at bewitching people with words, then luring them into traps.

They absolutely cannot be allowed to say much.

The Darkin's heart trembled, and he looked at Lin Tian with eyes even filled with some fear.

For the first time, he was actually dominated by someone else.

He had always been the one manipulating those empire kings and faction leaders. This was the first time he was controlled by someone else and didn't dare say much.

"I want to re-evolve into a Sword Demon, but I need this armor. As a condition, I will also transform Alice into the Sword Demon clan while preserving her human appearance."

The Darkin just said honestly.

He was very clear that he didn't dare play mind games with this goblin.

Otherwise, even the slightest suspicion would get him killed directly.

So he had to be as honest as possible.

Luo Ai'er was completely stunned, "Is this still a Darkin? I've never seen such a well-behaved Darkin!"

Lin Tian thought briefly, then asked, "How would you transform her into a Sword Demon? What's the purpose of becoming a Sword Demon?"

The Darkin hurriedly explained, "As long as you let me fuse with this armor during battle, and also fuse with Lady Alice, I can gradually replace the armor to become a new life form, while also changing Lady Alice's genes to become part of the Sword Demon clan.

As for the purpose, there might not be much effect at first, and no substantial improvement.

But after becoming part of the Sword Demon clan, she can learn the abilities of the Sword Demon clan. Then, the God Kings of this era wouldn't even be qualified to carry her shoes!"

Because the Darkin originally wanted to possess Alice's body to make her become a Darkin.

Now with the armor, he could assimilate both the armor and Alice without possessing Alice's consciousness.

Hearing such tempting conditions.

Even Lin Tian was somewhat moved.

Indeed, fundamentally speaking, Alice was just human. Relying on holy power and absolute swordsmanship, she could reach Demon King level.

But without the angelic and demonic powers and the equipment he gave her.

Her strength would seem very weak at this stage.

Everyone had complex expressions.

They were thinking about what kind of strength she would have if she became a Sword Demon.

That was a super-ancient weapon creature.

A legendary existence.

At this time, Luo Ai'er said firmly, "No, Lord Lin Tian. Darkin are creatures of ill omen. Contracts are ineffective against them. The truth of his words cannot be determined - this could very well harm Alice."

"Contracts are ineffective?!"

One-Eye and the others were slightly shocked.

That would indeed make the risk too great.

They had thought they could sign a master-servant contract with the Darkin, which would make it foolproof.

It seemed they were thinking too simply. Without Luo Ai'er, they might have harmed Alice.

After all, this Darkin didn't look like a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

Lin Tian slowly walked toward Alice, "All of this must first have your consent. What do you think? Do you want to become part of the Sword Demon clan?"

Hearing this.

Alice hesitantly answered, "If I become part of the Sword Demon clan, can I still follow Your Majesty?"

"Of course you can. And as long as you want, I can guarantee no accidents will occur."

Lin Tian said with a serious expression.

So what if that Darkin wanted to play mind games? He could just simulate life once when the time came.

Hearing this, Alice was inexplicably moved and nodded vigorously, "Yes, only by becoming stronger can I keep up with your pace."

Seeing this.

Everyone was stunned.

One-Eye said irritably, "That guy managed to show off. Alice, don't be so enchanted that you lose your mind."

"Brother Tian is still the best, so considerate!"

Osius said with a playful smile.

Lin Tian then looked at the Darkin, his eyes cold as piercing blades, staring at him intently, "I agree, but you must be prepared. If you try any other tricks, you could die at any time..."

The Darkin felt uneasy being stared at with those eyes, "I, I understand. Now we're cooperating for mutual benefit. I absolutely won't play any tricks."

This was indeed his honest words.

As long as he became part of the Sword Demon clan, he could survive in biological form.

Who would still incite war and feed on evil emotions like cruelty and fear?

Luo Ai'er couldn't help but sigh, "That dwarf named Bill is really thorough in his thinking. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of armor he's forged for me."

One-Eye blocked her path, "It's my turn, it's my turn! My bloodline is also weak. Bill wouldn't give me a revolutionary surprise, would he!"

Speaking of which, although she could be considered the granddaughter of God King Zeus, he probably wouldn't acknowledge her.

Because her bloodline was thin and there was no emotional connection.

Lin Tian opened his spatial ring and searched around, then his eyes lit up, "Here it is! This armor is really suitable for you!"

"Swoosh!"

A white light dazzled everyone's eyes.

Under everyone's expectant gazes, they gradually made out the appearance of this armor.

Then.

Everyone froze in place.

What was floating in the air - where was the armor?

It looked more like a three-point bikini!

One-Eye immediately flew into a rage, "That old bastard! I'll make him pay for this!!"

"Big sister, you can't! Master Bill is so old, it could kill him!"

Georgia hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

But One-Eye didn't care, "You know he's old, so what's the meaning of making this thing?!"

Osius poked his finger and whispered, "This, this thing could indeed perfectly show off big sister's figure."

"Bang!"

Before he finished speaking, a flying punch came and knocked him unconscious.

Lin Tian's voice suddenly rang out, "Wait, I took the wrong thing. Bill, that guy, I don't know what female dwarf he's been hooking up with - he didn't put his things away properly and left them in here."

Then with a thought, he retrieved the armor from the spatial ring.

"Rumble!"

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out.

It even pressed the ground into a depression.

Obviously this was full plate armor, and it was similar to Lin Tian's Gang Gu armor.

Very heavy.

The overall color scheme was red and black, imposing and domineering.

There were several cores glowing with white light in the arms and legs areas - unknown what kind of energy source they were.

One-Eye's anger subsided, but she couldn't seem to like it no matter how she looked, "I've never worn this kind of full plate armor, and it will affect my punching. Kid, did you take the wrong thing again?"

Her previous armor sets were all light armor, so they wouldn't affect her combat.

But full plate armor would greatly restrict every movement.

Fighting while dragging heavy armor would prevent her from fully unleashing her power.

Most importantly.

"When did that guy?! Get such a clear measurement of my dimensions?!"

One-Eye became angry again, looking at the armor's protruding chest plate, which could be said to be very perfect.

When they were measured for custom fitting before, this wasn't measured.

Everyone hurriedly tried to calm her down, "Cool down, maybe the boss told him?"

Lin Tian coughed to prove his innocence, "That old guy has seen countless women. He can tell any measurements just by looking. No need to make a big fuss."

The previous Bill indeed could only rely on looking, so he had developed physical observation abilities.

Then without caring about much else, he checked the description.

He was also puzzled why Bill had equipped One-Eye with a full plate armor set.

"Impact Compression? Finally a name that sounds proper this time."

[Impact Compression Battle Armor - God-Slaying Level Defense Equipment

Abilities: 31 types

Enchantments: 50 types

Main Abilities: Energy Impact Compression Level 1, Energy Impact Compression Level 2, Energy Impact Compression Level 3, Kleist's Blessing

Description: Uses the most efficient Titan Ancient energy source once used by the dwarf clan as kinetic power, capable of bursting forth with incredible strength.]

After reading, Lin Tian roughly understood.

He was once again shocked by Bill's thoughtfulness.

This guy was truly a great and wise craftsman!

"Big sister, this armor is for you to abandon your own strength and use energy as power. Try it on later and you'll know."

Lin Tian explained honestly.

Besides energy impact compression, Kleist's Blessing was also very important.

It could form protection for one's own flesh, preventing the operator from being shattered into bloody mist by the enormous force generated by the compression.

The rest were defensive, recovery, and enhancement abilities and enchantments.

Hearing this.

One-Eye was somewhat disappointed, "Ah? Then I won't have the feeling of fist-to-flesh combat anymore."

Although she seemed disappointed on the surface, she could only accept it.

She was very clear that her proud strength was worthless before main god level, or even normal god level opponents.

"Who told you there's no feeling? When you used knuckle dusters before, didn't wearing them and not wearing them feel the same?"

Lin Tian said, inexplicably feeling something was off somewhere.

After all, this and that were two different things.

If it was that thing, the feeling would indeed be different.

One-Eye was stunned for a moment, and also felt somewhat embarrassed for some reason, "Seems like you have a point. I'm really looking forward to it! Just looking at it, I know it can burst forth with terrifying power! Can't imagine how amazing it will feel!"

Then she claimed this Impact Compression armor set.

This scene.

Luo Ai'er was still in deep shock.

Even when she was a God King, she didn't hand out God-Slaying level defense equipment like candy, one by one.

Simply extravagantly wealthy beyond reason.

Lin Tian searched around some more and suddenly noticed something was wrong, "Hiss, why are these three armor sets all the same?"

"Gob Mad, you three come over."

Finally confirming that these three identical armor sets were for Gob Mad, Gob Tian, and Gob Shan.

However, he fell into confusion again.

Clearly they were custom-made, and clearly the three of them were a tank, an assassin, and a hexagonal warrior respectively.

Yet identical armor was made.

"Bill, this guy, is really incomprehensible."
