Chapter 237: Kill, Meet, Become a Human
In the desert, Zhou Chen punched at the terrifying tree monster from afar.
The illusory image of an Eight Desolates Fire Dragon instantly formed. It was so huge that it did not lose out to the terrifying tree monster. Its aura was also abnormally powerful. Other than the hot temperature, it also carried monstrous killing intent. freew ebnove l.com
“Bind!”
Zhou Chen used the binding art of Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art to bind the huge tree monster with the fire dragon.
Almost instantly, the incomparably huge terrifying tree monster was wrapped firmly by the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon phantom. Not only was it unable to move, but it was also ignited by the Eight Desolates Fire Dragon.
The crisis of life and death made the terrifying tree monster begin to struggle violently. The few tree branches that were not tied up by the fire dragon moved desperately, trying to damage the Eight Desolates Fire Dragon. However, the fire dragon existed between real and phantom. The tree’s attacks were useless. Instead, it was set ablaze by the Eight Desolates Fire Dragon and its body was tied tighter and tighter.
Kchhh kchhhh!
Under such circumstances, the terrifying tree monster let out an unbearably sharp and painful sound, as if red-hot iron threads were inserted into the listeners’ ears.
It also stirred up invisible air waves and tried its best to escape. During this process, the stones and trash within dozens of kilometers of the desert were immediately swept away, as if they had been cut by a blade.
However, no matter how hard it struggled, Zhou Chen was indifferent. The air waves and strange sounds it emitted had no effect on him. They only made him feel annoyed and wanted to kill it faster by adding more strength.
“This binding art is really strong. Even such a huge guy can’t break free, but it can still endure it. Even now, it has only suffered moderate injuries.”
After sensing the situation, Zhou Chen’s figure suddenly flashed and instantly appeared beside the tree monster that was coiled by the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon phantom. He ruthlessly punched the tree monster.
Bang!
After advancing to the great grandmaster realm, the power of Zhou Chen’s fist was terrifying. He immediately created a huge hole in the tree monster’s huge body. At the same time, he triggered several passive skills, mainly including Bonus Damage, Corpse Poison, and Touch of Evil.
Zhou Chen punched it a few more times to increase the Bonus Damage to the maximum. Then, he saw that the flames caused by the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon were burning more and more fiercely. The tree monster struggled desperately. The air around it was stirring up circles of visible ripples. If an ordinary person was nearby, they would be killed on the spot.
However, its end was already determined. No matter how it struggled, it had no chance of survival after meeting Zhou Chen, who was at the peak level of this world.
About half a minute later, after the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon disappeared, there was only a small pile of dust in front of Zhou Chen, and the terrifying tree monster was nowhere to be seen.
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the passive skill of the Apocalypse Tree King, “Physique Enhancement VI, Spirit Enhancement VI, Life Recovery VI”. Detected that they are superior to the passive skills you already have. They will automatically be replaced.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Apocalypse Tree King, “Apocalypse VI”. Do you want to absorb it?]
[Apocalypse VI
Type: High Silver passive skill
There is a high chance that the organisms near you will gradually become numb and lose their vitality. There is a high chance that they will quickly mutate into a monster, and a low chance of obtaining a superpower.
This effect is faster for the weaker targets with lower resistance to the Apocalypse. It is slow for stronger targets with lower resistance to the Apocalypse and might even fail.]
“From the passive skill alone, this monster is at least a high silver rank. It’s not weak. Unfortunately, I’m not in a Survival mission right now, so I can’t obtain the system’s rewards and can only obtain passive skills.”
The system would have definitely given him a reward for killing such a strong monster. However, Zhou Chen had come here by himself through the space gate and not through the system. Not only was he suppressed by this foreign world, the system also did not give him a reward. Only the Passive Plunderer talent was still working.
“The passive skill Apocalypse is the source of this world’s tragedy. It is the source of the apocalyptic pollution. There are such monsters wandering around, no wonder this world is in a bad state.”
Zhou Chen looked at the new passive skill and chose to absorb it, but it was directly deactivated after the absorption. He estimated that he would rarely use this passive skill. If not for the fact that its level was high, he might have abandoned this skill that had an unstable effect.
He opened his character interface and looked at his latest stats.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Mid Gold]
“God is actually a Class as well. The remark of slight divine power looks quite annoying. After using the physique scroll I obtained last time, my physique attribute has become my highest attribute. My spirit attribute has also broken 1o, but my agility is quite low. My evaluation is middle gold.”
Zhou Chen had not looked at his interface for a while. The long list of passive skills was quite dizzying.
“My agility has to be raised to 1o. Otherwise, there won’t be balance. There are still some existences like the tree monster in this world. There will definitely be those with high agility.”
Zhou Chen already had a plan in his heart. He would hunt powerful existences in this world to replenish his attributes. freewebnove(l).com
However, these were trivial matters. He had to finish the important business first.
He suddenly looked into the distance.
There was nothing in his sight, but Zhou Chen’s perception was extremely strong. He sensed some people rushing over at high speed from a place farther than the horizon.
“This aura… there’s Teresa.” Because he was too far away, Zhou Chen could only sense Teresa’s powerful aura. He would have to spend some divine power to distinguish the other targets from here.
“They’re here so quickly. Looks like the Paradise No. 2 City is developing quite well.”
When Zhou Chen had established the Paradise No. 2 City with Teresa and the others, they had established a mechanism to detect the Calamity Grade monsters. Therefore, he was not surprised that someone immediately reacted to his arrival and rushed over so quickly.
In fact, Zhou Chen knew very well that the scene of him killing the Calamity Grade monster earlier had definitely appeared in the radar of the few large factions in this world. Some of them might even be discussing about him right now.
However, Zhou Chen did not care. The native organizations in this world were not strong, and he was not afraid of their technological weapons. He also knew the upper limit of the superpowers of the mutants. The strongest people in this world like Teresa and a few others, were at most at the silver rank.
After flying for a while in the direction where he had sensed the aura, Zhou Chen saw a flying car approaching. The door on the side opened and two figures jumped out: Teresa with a slender figure and long golden hair standing in the air, and the robot, Lucy, who was standing in the air with the help of the thrusters in her feet.
“Captain, you’re back!” When the two sides saw each other, Lucy excitedly flew closer to Zhou Chen and greeted him warmly.
Zhou Chen naturally replied with a smile, “Lucy, long time no see! How have you been?”
“Pretty good, Captain. Our Paradise City has been developing better and better these few years!” Lucy was very happy to see Zhou Chen.
“How many years has it been?” Zhou Chen asked. He still did not know how much time had passed, but from the looks of it, it should not be long.
“It’s been nearly seven years since you and Captain Li left.” Teresa flew over and said to Zhou Chen.
“So long? But Teresa, you still look as young as when I left.” Zhou Chen’s words were not only flattery, but also the truth.
“Your appearance hasn’t changed either, but the pressure from your aura has increased greatly. Did your cultivation technique level up?” Teresa stared at Zhou Chen. She felt that although the young man in front of her looked the same, his strength had increased greatly.
“Something like that. I can feel that your strength has increased too.” Zhou Chen replied with a smile and looked at Lucy. “Lucy, I need your help with something.”
In this world, the two people Zhou Chen trusted the most were right in front of him. He did not waste time and went straight to the point.
“Captain, Lucy will definitely complete the mission!” Before Zhou Chen could say what he wanted, Lucy already gave the promise to help him, making Teresa speechless.
“I came here to promote faith and train as many believers as possible. Lucy, are you willing to try being a Pope?” Zhou Chen said to Lucy.
“Pope? Captain, this seems to be an ancient term. Lucy lacks information on this.” Lucy was stunned because there were very few religious establishments in this world at the moment.
“Why do you want to promote faith? Please forgive Paradise City for not agreeing to such a thing easily.” Teresa frowned. She had a strong personality and did not like these strange and uncontrollable matters.
“There is naturally a reason why I want to promote it. As for your worry, I know it too. Don’t worry, the first batch of promotion will be done among the scattered forces outside. As for Paradise City joining later, you can decide it.”
Zhou Chen knew that Teresa would not listen to him. He did not need to force her either, it was good as long as he could recruit Lucy.
After talking to Teresa, Zhou Chen said to Lucy, “Lucy, you can understand the Pope as a leader of an organization. The main mission is to gather believers. There’s no need to fight. With my help, I believe you can do very well.”
“Alright, Captain! I’ll work hard!”
After not seeing him for so many years, as soon as Lucy saw Zhou Chen, she automatically entered into her previous role, making her current boss, Teresa, feel betrayed.
Since Lucy was willing to help him, Zhou Chen wanted to do something for her.
“Lucy, I remember you had a wish to become a real human, right? Do you still think like that?”
His words seemed abrupt in the current situation, making Lucy confused again.
“Captain, why are you suddenly saying this?” She looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled expression.
“Because I can fulfill your wish now.” Zhou Chen replied casually.
“Really?! Captain, I’m willing!” Lucy did not doubt Zhou Chen’s words and replied immediately.
“Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish now.” Zhou Chen activated the divine power to envelop her and directly sublimate her.
The sublimation was divided into two parts. The first was to transform Lucy’s entire body into a young and healthy human female body, apart from clothes and external tools.
The second part gave her strength increase, allowing her to go from a newly transformed mortal body to a low Silver rank existence. She was given passive skills such as Physique Enhancement, Steel Body, Berserk, Mirror, and so on. Her strength would be much stronger than when she was a robot.
The whole process finished in two seconds. Before Teresa could figure out what was going on, she realized that Lucy’s aura had changed greatly.
She changed from a robot that was emitting heat to a young girl that was emitting the aura of life and youth. The nozzle on her leg disappeared and turned into bare feet. The nozzle on her back also separated from her body and fell to the ground. As she fell to the ground, she was held by Zhou Chen. Her aura was also very extraordinary. Teresa felt that Lucy was not much weaker than her.
“Captain… this is…”
After being turned into a human by Zhou Chen and held by him, Lucy felt strong heartbeats in her chest that she had never felt before. She felt that her current state was very strange..
