Chapter 80: The Budding of a New Intelligent Race
Collector No. 0 regretted coming here a little.
He did not think that with his strength, he could rival an angel from the "Heavenly Realm".
Even if the other party was not necessarily wielding their strength from their prime.
Collector No. 0 still dared not fight against them.
After all, he had once seen with his own eyes the Royal City perish in a giant beam of Holy Light Power.
And the scene before the birth of that beam of Holy Light Power was exactly the same as it was now.
Thus, Collector No. 0 immediately stopped condensing the "Secret Fire beam".
Then, he once again manipulated the "gluttony armor" he was in.
The next moment, the armor shrank rapidly.
Various parts that hindered movement were also retracted into his inner space.
Before long, the "gluttony armor", which was originally over a thousand meters long, was suddenly reduced to only a few hundred meters.
Its shape also changed from an insectoid form covered in numerous organs to a sleek, flying shuttle form.
Collector No. 0 abandoned all the offensive capabilities of the "gluttony armor".
In its place, its agility was significantly increased.
The moment the transformation was complete, he immediately manipulated the "gluttony armor" to adjust its direction.
Swoosh—a sound of breaking through the air rang out.
He shot away from the spot like an arrow released from a bowstring.
And rushed at high speed in the direction away from Kino's clone.
Collector No. 0 did not intend to rendezvous with the undead side.
He wanted to head to the wilderness not covered by "Subspace".
He would wait until everything was over, or until he had cultivated a "miracle item" capable of complete immunity to Holy Light Power, before returning here.
But before he could even get a kilometer away from his original spot, Kino stopped charging his power.
The point of light, condensed from a massive amount of Holy Light Power, broke free from the restraint of his fingertip.
Before long, the point of light turned into a beam of light.
And then it rushed towards the direction of the "gluttony armor".
As time passed, the distance between the Holy Light beam and the "gluttony armor" grew closer and closer.
Even though the "gluttony armor" became increasingly agile while flying, it was to no avail.
Even if he changed direction, he would be followed immediately.
A sense of crisis flooded into Collector No. 0's mind.
He could feel the massive energy contained within this beam.
He also knew that if he were hit, he would 100% fall into complete death.
His "Soul Fragments" would also turn into dust that could not be collected.
There was no possibility of resurrection whatsoever.
"If I want to survive, there is only one way..."
Feeling the Holy Light beam gradually approaching him, Collector No. 0 immediately made a decision.
The top of the cockpit was suddenly opened like a skylight.
The "Shadow Elemental Sea" water poured in as well.
But Collector No. 0 did not pay it any mind.
After all, he no longer needed to pilot it.
As his thoughts shifted, all the living beings in the cockpit were ejected.
Not just Collector No. 0 himself.
But also numerous Collectors who had been transformed into puppets.
The next moment, all the "Vampires" present turned into bats one after another.
And then rushed in all directions.
Even the non-Vampire puppets also...
At the same time, Kino also saw this scene.
'Are you trying to confuse my vision so that the Holy Light beam misses?'
Seeing this, Kino casually snapped his fingers.
The next moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Holy Light beam.
And then it turned into a four-digit number of beams, all composed of pure Holy Light Power.
Under Kino's control, the beams rushed towards the direction of the bats.
Rumble... A roaring sound rang out.
The moment they came into contact with the Holy Light beams, a large number of bat clones turned into dust that could not be observed by the naked eye.
Then they completely merged into the "Shadow Elemental Sea".
In just an instant, only the last one remained of the thousands of bats present.
And this bat was none other than the carrier of Collector No. 0's last thread of soul.
Except for this thread of soul, all other souls had turned into debris within the Holy Light beam.
But even so, Collector No. 0 still failed to escape the pursuit.
There was still a beam containing a massive amount of Holy Light Power chasing behind him.
And the distance between the two was still continuously shrinking.
A sense of despair flooded into Collector No. 0's heart.
But he did not intend to resign himself to his fate completely yet.
Thus, while dodging the beam attacks, he looked towards Kino's clone in the distance.
"Lord Angel! I am willing to become a servant of the Holy God's Eternal Life and spread faith among the "Vampires" for the Holy God. I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Holy Light beam, composed of massive Holy Light Power, caught up.
And enveloped Collector No. 0 in his bat form.
In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain was transmitted into his mind.
Then, amidst a cry of "unwillingness", Collector No. 0 turned into debris.
Because his soul had completely dissipated, he was not even able to condense into a ghost.
Everything returned to peace.
But after obliterating Collector No. 0, the beam composed of Holy Light Power did not completely dissipate.
As Kino's thoughts shifted, the beam suddenly turned into a breeze.
And then it blew the shuttle-shaped Tier 3 "gluttony armor" to his side.
Kino did not intend to bring this armor out of the "Shadow Elemental Sea".
His "modular armor" was indeed composed of the corpses of tens of thousands of "Gluttony Demons".
But Kino did not intend to turn this "gluttony armor" into a part of his "modular armor".
After all, he had already obtained a method for stably producing Tier 3 modules: grazing-style automatic AFK growth.
Under the influence of various "Traits", Kino could share the vision of all his "Dependents".
This also included the "flesh-and-blood fruit tree" that possessed a trace of "Vampire" bloodline and stood over a hundred meters tall.
Over hundreds of years, the "flesh-and-blood fruit tree" had long since spread throughout the "Shadow Realm".
In other words, as long as a "Gluttony Demon" was born, the "flesh-and-blood fruit tree" could discover it immediately.
And Kino could synchronize the shared vision to the various modules of the "modular armor".
Then place them throughout the "Shadow Elemental Sea".
In this way, once a "Gluttony Demon" appeared near the "flesh-and-blood fruit tree", these modules would know immediately.
Then they would head there, transform into war form, and kill it.
Afterwards, they could activate "Trait - Gluttony/Evolution" to digest the corpse of the "Gluttony Demon" completely.
Various abilities would also receive additional enhancements.
In the process of 'grazing', a three-digit number of modules had already broken through three "limiters". That is, they had reached the Tier 3 level.
Precisely because of this, Kino did not intend to make this "gluttony armor" a part of the "modular armor".
"Compared to becoming one of the modules of the "modular armor", this armor can play an even greater role."
"For example... becoming the progenitor of a new type of intelligent race. Just like the first "Vampire" of the "Shadow Realm", "Vampire Lyle"."
Thinking of this, Kino immediately called upon a thread of soul energy and probed into the "gluttony armor".
Thereby modifying the logic modules of the "gluttony armor".
Relying on his massive soul energy and computational power, Kino completed the adjustments in an instant.
Thus, the other party was no longer just a suit of armor unable to move freely.
But rather, like the "alpha world-ending insectoid golem", it was a golem that could follow commands and act freely.
But Kino's adjustments were not completely over.
If he wanted to truly transform it into the progenitor of a new type of intelligent creature, he still needed the assistance of other things: "alchemical potion".
Before this, Kino had already prepared the corresponding "alchemical potion".
It was only because he was waiting for the appropriate timing that he had not used it.
And now, it was the time for the new intelligent race to be born.
