Charles frowned as he looked at the squirming red flesh on the ground, thinking about the other party's words in his mind.
This kind of thing combined with relic fusion can indeed greatly enhance the power of explorers, but the mortality rate of relic fusion is a troublesome problem.
"Do you need to absorb it now? I can help you personally."
Something similar to a meat sucker stretched out from Piper's mouthparts. It grabbed the living meat on the ground and moved towards Charles.
"Wait a minute." Charles stretched out his hand to block Piper's suction cup.
"You don't have to be on guard against us like this. Your death will do us no good at all. Our interests are now one. Take your wife for example. She once worked with Ledger and killed our people and stole our things."
"But you see, we didn't take any revenge on her, because we knew that in the face of the destruction of Earthsea, all disputes could be put aside first."
Charles glanced at Anna and then shook his head. "No, I just want to ask if this is all you have? You have the body of a god, but you can only make this little thing?"
Seeing that Piper was a little confused, Charles explained: "For example, I found a way to integrate the relics into my body from the ruins of the foundation. Then I used this power as a catalyst to continuously improve technology. In just a few years, the industrial revolution has begun."
"Since you have the body of a god, then your gains should not be just this, right?"
Charles felt that the other party was hiding something. Gods were extremely dangerous, but a god's body was also a rare treasure. God knew what good things could be found inside.
Don't forget, the Foundation used a small portion of Ftan's power to create the God of Light. They definitely have more.
"Yes, we have indeed gained a lot, such as the God's Messenger and the Haik Clan, which were all created by us. We also have many things that humans cannot understand."
"But you can't use these, and they are also useless in finding darkness. You don't need to know them either. If they were useful, we would have brought them back to find darkness long ago."
"Is this really the case? Could he be hiding something shameful?" Anna speculated about the other party's background with suspicion.
Piper obviously disliked Anna. "You are not qualified to talk to me. What happened before is not over yet. The ship that sank to the bottom of the sea represents your betrayal."
It then turned its huge mouth towards Charles again. "Do you want to enjoy this blessing now, or do you plan to use it after experimenting on others?"
"I have tried this on humans, and I repeat, our interests are now the same."
"Wait, I have the power of other gods in my body, so it's okay." Charles touched the strange tattoo on his neck. Although his skin was almost gone, the tattoo on his neck never disappeared.
"It's okay. The two are not in conflict. Whether it's a relic or something else, their origins are the same in the end."
Looking at the flesh sucker that was constantly expanding and contracting in front of her, Anna narrowed her eyes slightly. The door next to her suddenly opened and Linda walked in.
"Captain, let me try it first. As a doctor, I am also curious about how it changes the human body structure and how it enhances the ability of relics."
Charles looked at her and said nothing. The next second, the fist-sized flesh sucker was directly attached to Linda's forehead.
Slowly, her body began to tremble and her eyes turned white. It looked like she was having her brain fluid sucked out rather than being transported.
Paibo's worm body began to twist slightly, with a slow and strange rhythm. The process was over quickly, taking less than two minutes in total.
There was nothing unusual about Linda except for the red round mark on her head.
"My body hasn't changed at all physically, but my abilities seem to have undergone some special changes."
As Linda spoke, her body suddenly dived down and her legs sank directly into the floor.
"Now I can not only pass through other people's bodies, I can also pass through my own body. My ability has been greatly enhanced."
As she spoke, her body continued to sink, and when she finished speaking, her body was completely sunk into the floor.
In a few seconds, she came out again. "I feel like I can go through everything now, any object."
Charles couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Linda's changes. This improvement was almost a qualitative change.
"Go out now, I'll talk to you later." Hearing Charles' words, Linda nodded silently and walked out of the room.
"I don't need my crew to explore the way for me. I don't want you to control her either." Charles looked at Anna beside him.
It was obvious that Linda had not come here on her own, and it was even less likely that she had just happened to be at the door.
"Oh, you found out. I won't do it again. This is the last time." Anna looked at him with a smile and gently pressed against him.
Piper, who was standing next to him, was getting a little impatient. "I'm busy. Please make a decision quickly."
Charles looked back at the giant worm in front of him. "Come on, give it a try and see how much my strength can be increased."
Just as the round flesh suction cup was directly attached to Charles' wrist, the surroundings were instantly filled with noisy sounds.
He found himself in a strange world where the colors of everything were constantly changing. He was getting smaller and spinning, falling towards the center of the world.
In this illusion, Charles could not sense the existence of time. He didn't know how much time had passed before he returned to his room again, with Piper and Anna beside him.
"How does it feel?" Anna asked with a hint of curiosity.
Charles raised his hands, and transparent tentacles kept shaking on the back of his hands like hair. They were no longer outsiders, they had completely merged with Charles' body.
Charles had a feeling that the current appearance was the original appearance of the transparent tentacle. It was severely suppressed before on the ring.
As his mind moved, a tentacle stretched out from the opposite wall and, following his thoughts, rolled up the black thorns on the cabinet.
Gradually, more and more tentacles emerged in the room, and the whole room instantly turned into a sea of tentacles, moving according to Charles' thoughts.
When Charles felt a slight pain in his head, he knew he had reached his limit. If he added more tentacles, his spirit would not be able to bear it.
Looking at everything around him, Charles couldn't help but think of a question. "What exactly are relics, and where do their abilities come from?"
