Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Northern Dominator Han Rong
"All of the unknown energy has gathered onto the polar bear’s fur."
"It’s turned this thing into something like an Extraordinary Item."
"You think it’d be correct for me to use it as a module, right?"
Qi Suian looked at the polar bear pelt in his hands.
Under Qi Suian’s Dragon and Tiger Primordial Force, the polar bear’s internal organs, bones, and flesh had been pulverized beyond recognition, leaving only a complete hide.
He didn’t even need to skin it; it came right off.
The predecessor of the Dragon and Tiger Primordial Force was the Seven Forces of the Evil Dao, and it was truly vicious when used against an enemy.
Even though Qi Suian had transformed it from evil to righteous, it was still incredibly overbearing when inflicting damage.
Qi Suian had fought relatively few battles, and his opponents were never ordinary. As a result, he had completely misjudged his own strength.
In reality, he was already very strong; he just didn’t realize it himself.
’What kind of Martial Arts Grandmaster forgoes a gun to clash head-on with someone using martial arts?’
With Floating Cannons at his disposal, even an Ancient Martial Artist at the Land Immortal Realm would die.
[If the data is correct and what you said upon your last arrival was not mistaken,]
[we have traveled from the high-temperature Polar Day World to the frigid Cold Winter World. It’s just that the depths of winter have not yet fully arrived.]
As it spoke, the AI provided Qi Suian with the periodic changes in the meteorological charts.
And it wasn’t just for a single region, but data showing global changes.
From the data provided by the AI, it was clear that the entire globe was cooling down, a change visible to the naked eye.
If all went as expected, this polar bear pelt was the first opportune gift that his "protagonist’s halo" had brought him.
"It knew I was lacking something for cold resistance and warmth, so it sent one right to me," Qi Suian couldn’t help but smile.
He unhesitatingly slotted the polar bear pelt into an extra module slot on the Tai Sui Shen Duo, which had just completed its twentieth evolution after reaching 22 armor points.
The next evolution required reaching 24 armor points, but Qi Suian didn’t have the spare time to deal with that. After all, there was still fuel in the Melting Furnace, so he didn’t need to worry for now.
He turned his attention to the newly acquired SSS-rank module.
[SSS-Rank: Northern Dominator Han Rong]
"Next, I just need another module similar to the Black Dark Energy Crystal and I’ll be all set." Qi Suian watched as a layer of fine downy fur appeared on the integrated Tai Sui God.
The cold was instantly blocked out.
However, Qi Suian knew that a single module for low-temperature resistance, anti-freezing, and cold insulation wasn’t enough. He needed an auxiliary module, preferably one for providing warmth.
He had seen what happened later in the Polar Day World; a single module like this definitely wouldn’t be sufficient.
As for dismantling the two heat-resistant modules, the Sand Jiao Scale Pattern Shell and the Black Dark Energy Crystal? That was impossible.
Qi Suian would absolutely never dismantle an installed module unless it was necessary.
Who knew what unforeseen changes could occur? Besides, those two weren’t useless. To a certain extent, the Sand Jiao Scale Pattern Shell and the Northern Dominator Han Rong complemented each other.
The simplest synergy was that they made each other’s effects more powerful.
Every module had, to some degree, interconnected aspects.
Besides, there was no urgent need to add a new module right now.
For one thing, after the Tai Sui God reached its twentieth evolution, the effectiveness of all its modules had increased once again.
This was especially true as it was the first qualitative transformation, which had greatly enhanced the effect of the Melting Furnace.
Fuel that originally took half a month to burn could now be processed in just two days.
This meant he could install another module in two days, and he would get another module slot in five days.
As for the energy for subsequent evolutions, he didn’t need to worry for now.
Because of the presence of the unknown energy, the efficiency of the "growth trio" on the Tai Sui God had increased yet again.
Combined with the suspected presence of Extraordinary Creatures in this world, Qi Suian didn’t have to worry about the Tai Sui God’s food supply.
He’d be better off worrying about how he was going to deal with the impending missile attack.
The thirty minutes were almost up.
"AI, let the cold in. I want to further adapt myself and the Abyssal Virus to low-temperature conditions."
Qi Suian’s fire resistance was already very high; it was time to raise his ice resistance.
Superb Adaptability combined with Extreme Will could significantly boost the growth rate of his resistances.
[At the current temperature, it is impossible to improve your low-temperature resistance.]
The AI’s words were a splash of cold water for Qi Suian.
The current Qi Suian was a Tribulation Force Ancient Martial Artist, and both his attributes had reached 5 points.
This bit of cold truly couldn’t affect Qi Suian.
As his strength grew, his various resistances naturally rose along with it.
He couldn’t possibly be as fragile as when his attributes were less than 1 point, not now that he was this strong.
With his improvement, the Abyssal Virus, as a part of his body, would naturally be strengthened in sync.
Hearing this, Qi Suian came to a realization.
His growth in the last world had indeed been immense, so he was no longer facing the same predicaments as before.
"My strength has grown, but it seems my brain forgot to update along with it," Qi Suian mocked himself.
[It is simply that you have not fully grasped how powerful you have become.]
[Even the top survivors from a regressor’s past life would be no match for you.]
The AI phrased that beautifully.
Qi Suian’s understanding of his own strength had always been based on various data points.
However, data was just data; he hadn’t experienced it firsthand.
Just like with the five-meter polar bear from before—if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Qi Suian would never have imagined it would be that big.
He couldn’t even imagine that he could actually kill it in a single move.
And he had done it with little combat experience, relying purely on calming down, activating his instincts, and the guidance of luck.
’I’ve only ever fought in low-tier matches or high-tier ones, which has skewed my perception.’
In the low-tier matches, the enemies were basically insta-killed by the Floating Cannons before they even got close to Qi Suian.
In the high-tier matches, every single opponent could insta-kill Qi Suian. From the Blood Moon to the Sun Golden Light Man, these were not enemies a normal person could fight.
’Wait a minute, this world is a planet, and the global cooling is confined to this planet, right?’
’So why don’t we just go to space?’
’With the Tai Sui God’s current strength, surviving in space shouldn’t be a problem, right?’ Qi Suian had a sudden brainwave, thinking of a way to escape the danger.
[Of course you can. However, this is not in your best interest, and there may be unknown dangers.]
[If you flee to space for refuge, how will you and the Tai Sui God grow rapidly?]
[The later Doomsday Worlds will inevitably become more brutal. If you do not seize every opportunity to grow stronger—even with your ability to be reforged upon death—it does not make you invincible.]
[Once you lack the resources and growth from this world, you might die in the next Doomsday World due to being targeted by the Doomsday Game.]
[Secondly, you must ensure that this unknown energy does not originate from the spread of some terrifying entity in space, much like the Abyssal Virus.]
[Otherwise, entering space would instead be an extremely dangerous matter.]
As soon as Qi Suian heard that, he tossed the idea from his sudden brainwave to the back of his mind.
The AI was right. Running away would not solve the problem at all; it would only hasten his own death.
Unless he could break free from the Doomsday Game, then fleeing would be fine. The universe was certainly not small, and since Qi Suian couldn’t die, he would sooner or later find a habitable planet.
"I understand," Qi Suian replied, then asked, "So this unknown energy is the source of this doomsday."
"If I’m not mistaken, it should also be an Extraordinary Source."
"Continue to monitor and analyze it. It would be best if you can find a way to utilize it."
Qi Suian didn’t plan to research it personally because he needed to study the tissue sample from the Blood Moon to evolve his own virus talent.
So, he left it to the AI for the time being.
Compared to the unknown energy, he naturally placed more importance on the Abyssal Virus, which was his foundation.
Although his virus talent reaching S-rank couldn’t directly enhance his strength, it could make him indirectly stronger.
[Project established. Commencing independent operation...]
The AI began executing the task immediately.
When it would produce a report on its findings was anyone’s guess. The AI wasn’t omniscient, so it naturally needed time.
[Saturation strike detected approaching. Commencing countermeasures...]
Thirty minutes were up, and Qi Suian’s location was broadcast.
The nations of the world had been waiting for this moment. They immediately launched a massive number of missiles toward Qi Suian’s location.
Twenty-two Floating Cannons appeared. Under the AI’s control, a Ghost Energy Storm wove itself into a massive barrier.
All the missiles disintegrated against the outside of the barrier. Simultaneously, the Tai Sui God quickly departed to evade the subsequent barrage of missile attacks.
His location was broadcast, but it was only for an instant. Qi Suian could leave immediately without worrying about being tracked.
"If nothing changes, they’ll bombard me every half hour."
"I need to find a way to make them afraid. Otherwise, having to defend against missiles every thirty minutes is going to be a problem." Although Qi Suian had expected this, he was naturally annoyed after being bombarded.
Therefore, to avoid being bombed, the best solution was to kill them until they didn’t dare to act against him anymore.
Otherwise, how was Qi Suian supposed to conduct research and experiments with an attack coming every half hour?
The barrier formed by the Ghost Energy Storm was certainly effective, but he couldn’t just take hits without fighting back.
[I recommend you start killing from here, striking directly at the government capitals of the various nations.]
The AI provided a solution, attaching a route on a virtual map.
Killing civilians wouldn’t scare the nations at all; on the contrary, it would only unite them against a common enemy.
But killing their leaders was a different story.
Civilian casualties could be just a string of numbers, but the casualties of the elite were not. They were the "golden branches and jade leaves"—how could they be allowed to die so easily?
By doing this, Qi Suian would be warning the nations not to provoke him.
As for the other survivors, there was no need to worry about them for now. When the doomsday truly descended, they would die in droves, even without Qi Suian having to lift a finger.
"Alright. I’ll leave it to you," Qi Suian said directly.
The AI had given him a plan, and naturally, the Tai Sui God would be the one to execute it. It’s not like Qi Suian would do it himself.
It would be so troublesome for him to go kill them one by one. Having the Floating Cannons sweep the area with a Ghost Energy Storm was much more efficient.
