Chapter 156: The Whisper of the Demon

Maersa's words

made Gune couldn't help rubbing his brow.

Maersa's delicate thoughts made it impossible to tell that she was only a twelve-year-old child.

"You're only twelve, aren't you, Maersa?" Gune said softly.

"When I awakened the will of the Human-Faced Flower Emperor, the experience and knowledge I gained far exceeded your imagination."

"The inheritance of a lord's will, that's true." Gune nodded.

When some powerful creatures are born, or when some powerful超凡职业 are inherited, there are corresponding inheritance messages.

Gune's Blood Curse Master had quite a lot of inheritance messages.

For a powerful creature like the Human-Faced Flower Emperor, when its life will is inherited, the information passed down must be far more than that of a超凡职业 like the Blood Curse Master.

"You are very peculiar, and also very powerful."

Maersa's childish voice carried a mature and steady tone as she spoke.

"So, I will send the most formidable assassin to kill you."

"I might even put a bounty of millions of gold pounds on your head on the Black List."

"Millions of gold pounds?" Gune rubbed his chin.

"That's really a generous bounty. I'm a bit tempted myself."

Then, looking around the surroundings, Gune slightly composed himself and looked back at Maersa.

"Alright, Maersa, I know you're stalling for time. Sorry, but my stalling time is up."

"The family reunion part ends here."

"And I still have many things to do, so you can rest assured and die."

As he spoke, Gune had already begun manipulating the puppet secret threads.

"There's one more important thing I need to tell you." Maersa spoke rapidly.

"If you are willing to defect to me, I can give you all the resources the Pioneer Group gives you, and even more."

"I am a powerful lord, and in the future, I can become a legendary lord."

"And you are a Blood Curse Master. With my blood, you can also possess the bloodline of a legendary lord."

"Moreover, the blood of the Human-Faced Flower Emperor is very soul-oriented, which will greatly help your Spellcaster profession."

"If you are willing, in the future we can even rule the entire world together, become the masters of this world, and even establish faith, becoming supreme eternal beings."

Maersa's gentle, seductive tone was highly tempting.

After listening to Maersa's exposition, Gune gently rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh.

"Maersa, from you, I clearly see why the Human-Faced Flower Church is a cult of an evil god."

"That seed and will of the Human-Faced Flower Emperor passed down through generations."

"Do you think that is the path to becoming strong?"

"That is merely the disguise of a demon's whisper!"

With that, Gune suddenly acted.

The puppet secret threads swiftly pierced through Maersa's head.

Maersa's soul aura dissipated accordingly.

Then, Gune looked up into the depths of the darkness.

"Maersa could bring me in."

"Then the Flower Emperor's flower body can also use its talent to bring others in."

"Knowing it was about to die, it used its innate divine ability to exile me."

"Then use the flower emperor's main body to bring someone in to completely kill me."

"My dear sister, your determination to kill me is truly resolute, leaving no room for sentiment."

"Unfortunately, this place cannot trap me."

With a flip of his hand, the Time Hand Ring that George had given Gune appeared in Gune's hand.

In the hunting layer, such a deep space, the Time Hand Ring could escape, let alone this shallower, bizarre layer of human-faced flowers.

"What kind of layer is this? The Human-Faced Flower Church actually planted so many human-faced flowers here."

Without studying it too much, after collecting a few human-faced flowers, Gune activated the Time Hand Ring.

"Buzz!"

The scene before him twisted rapidly, and then Gune disappeared.

At the same time, several kilometers away, a five-star, fifth-rank Shadow Walker silently landed on this peculiar layer planted with many human-faced flowers.

Then, the fifth-rank Shadow Walker entered stealth and quickly approached in Gune's direction.

...

"Buzz!"

The scene before him gradually stabilized.

Gune reappeared at the street corner.

This position was not far from where Maersa had pulled him into the deep-space layer earlier.

But the sounds of battle had already faded into the distance.

Following the wall, Gune quickly climbed to the rooftop of the fifth floor of this building.

Gune looked into the distance.

The sea of blood in the sky had disappeared, restoring the usual deep, dark night sky.

The battle near the main body of Cave 9970 had already left the city of Sugg Ruins and was ongoing at the edge of Sugg Ruins, still moving northward into the depths of the mountains.

The explosion just now must have dealt a huge blow to those heretics and alien strongmen.

The many strongmen of the Pioneer Group and the Supernatural Association would definitely not miss the good opportunity to beat a dog when it's down; they would surely strike while the iron was hot.

After all, such good opportunities are rare.

At the same time, the many experts of the Human-Faced Flower Church who had been guarding Maersa nearby were now scattering in all directions.

And the people of the Pioneer Group were all in pursuit.

At this moment, Gune had no intention of participating in the subsequent battle.

"I've obtained Maersa's blood. I need to learn a powerful guiding ritual spell."

"Hmm... preferably a powerful secret pattern ritual spell."

"That way, I can use Maersa's blood to lock onto her location."

"But for now, my strength is not great."

"Even if I know Maersa's location, it's hard to kill her myself, let alone go to the Unblemished Fertile Soil Layer to kill the Human-Faced Flower Emperor."

"I still need to steadily improve my strength." Gune thought to himself.

"When I become strong enough, I can easily kill that evil god of the Human-Faced Flower Church and Maersa in the future."

The battle tonight made Gune clearly realize

that although his current rank was relatively low, his lethality was not weak.

As a Spellcaster, with the support of the AFK system, his attack power was quite fierce.

At the same time, the strong defense and survivability of his physical body also satisfied Gune.

And as the AFK system continued to run,

Gune's physical body and spells would only grow stronger.

"Spells are one thing; more importantly, secret pattern potions."

"My physical body, with the digestion and absorption of the Death God Beast's corpse, has increasingly rich supernatural traits. Now my body is as strong as a second-rank leader."

"But my soul is relatively weak, only at the 'normal monster' level."

"Fortunately, I follow the domain caster path, which makes my soul capacity thick enough to withstand some attacks."

"Also, the artifact helmet that Veya gave me today helped me a lot; otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have obtained Maersa's blood."

"When the Soul Secret Pattern Potion and Dragon Blood Secret Pattern Potion are developed, I'll give her a set of each."

Thinking of the Soul Secret Pattern Potion,

Dr. Henry's death and the presumably collapsed Deep Duke Castle appeared in Gune's mind.

"I need to wait until the Pioneer Group sends another superbiology doctor to redo the latest batch of potion experiments to get results."

"Plus the construction of the lab, that's probably another month away."

"But no rush; the success of the Secret Pattern Soul Potion is only a matter of time."

Gune thought to himself.

"My physical body's supernatural traits are at the leader level, but my soul's supernatural traits are too weak."

"Humans are creatures of flesh and soul. Both body and soul are important."

"When my soul's supernatural traits catch up to become elite, or even leader level,"

"I wonder what changes will happen to me."

Just as Gune was pondering,

a faint sound of footsteps suddenly arose behind him.
