Chapter 1533: Chapter 183: Imperial Secret Technique?
"That’s no longer important, after all, I am just a prisoner now. You can repeat what you once told me to them, since I can no longer protect myself," the false Emperor said helplessly.
Gray Skin glanced at Long Yi and Elsa, a strange light flickering in his one eye.
"I can feel there’s something unusual about you two, you and the common worms, seem to be quite different," the true Emperor of Gray Skin stated.
Long Yi gave a chuckle and suddenly raised his hand. The collar on the false Emperor’s head fell off. But the worm that had taken residence in the false Emperor’s consciousness reacted extremely fast. He knew that once he brought them here, he would no longer be of any use. So he was always ready to flee, and the moment Long Yi released the collar, he was ready to leave. Even if it meant randomly parasitizing the consciousness of any Prophet, as long as he could escape from here, he would have a chance to flee.
But the immense attraction left it completely immobile!
That was the absolute suppression from a powerful kin!
"Unfortunately, you’re no longer of any use now," Long Yi said.
That was the last sentence the false Emperor heard.
The powerful suppressive force of the worm pulled it into Long Yi’s consciousness. But what awaited it here was not the devouring by its worm kin, but a world filled with golden light.
"God Eater! You are the Giant! You are Long Yi!" The worm finally realized, it finally understood how all the unreasonable events happened! A Giant! Everything here was explained! It desperately tried to contact the outside world, intending to warn its kin with its death. Although it wished to devour its kin, in the face of the Giant and God Eater, it still chose to alert its kin. But the reason Long Yi had not used God Eater outside was to prevent it from even the slightest chance of leaking his information. So he first used the worm’s energy to swallow it into his own consciousness, then used a ’greedy snake’ to completely shatter it.
Despite its full effort, under Long Yi’s comprehensive defense, all its information was intercepted within Long Yi’s consciousness, worn down by the ’greedy snake.’ The last fluctuation before it disappeared showed that it had been devoured by a powerful worm kin.
By then, the false Emperor’s own consciousness had scattered due to being parasitized too long. Elsa immediately appeared as a replacement consciousness, and while the personalities were different, the memories remained unchanged. Before the personality was fully established, Elsa had already browsed through the Emperor’s memories.
"He was right, an imperial succession dispute happened ten years ago, only it was extremely secretive, and the few who knew of it either died or were controlled by the worms. And this one is the true Emperor of The Forgotten Ones on that planet. He has a very special ability, resistant to the worms’ parasitism and infection," Elsa said.
"Well then, Your Imperial Majesty, let’s cut to the chase. Since you’re not a worm, there’s no need for me to beat around the bush anymore. I’m very interested in the secrets you know, I wonder if you’d be interested in sharing them with me?" Long Yi asked.
"No, not at all," the Emperor shook his head.
"I’ve always been curious, you seem to have no capability to protect yourself. Why have these worms never used torture to obtain your secrets?" Long Yi asked.
"Because first of all, torture is useless against me. I don’t feel pain, nor do I feel hunger. And we, The Forgotten, are very fragile; if I were to die by accident, wouldn’t the secrets of the hive be lost forever?" Gray Skin said with a smile.
"It sounds quite reasonable, but fortunately, our means are not limited to just that."
"Is that so? I’d really like to see what other means you have to deal with me," Gray Skin was not the least bit nervous.
"In that case, let’s talk about your gray skin. That isn’t any Imperial symbol, but tiny clusters of Crystal Poison gathering on the skin’s surface. Most people think Crystal Poison crystals must shine brightly, but they don’t know that clusters small enough turn gray. It’s because of the Crystal Poison covering your entire body that you’re immune to the worm’s infection, and it’s also the source of your confidence. And to break your confidence, of course, is simple, just like this—"
As he spoke, a crystal slowly grew from the palm of Long Yi’s hand. Accompanied by the Resonance of the crystal, the gray started to fade from the Emperor’s body, turning into dust-like particles drifting toward the crystal in Long Yi’s hand. Soon, the gray turned back into White-skinned!
"Now, I wonder if this will make you a bit more cooperative?" The crystal in Long Yi’s hand disappeared, while the Emperor already looked ashen.
"No, this is impossible! How could you mere worms possess the Imperial secret arts!" the Emperor shouted incredulously.
Yet, Long Yi just smiled.
Because once the Crystal Poison that covered the body disappeared, Long Yi once again felt the worm’s pulsation.
"Stop performing, your pulsation has given you away," Long Yi said.
