Chapter 649: The Lament in Red Lotus's Heart!
Red Lotus's Body Size rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye as the Small-Small Fruit Ability disappeared.
Seeing this, Stussy immediately picked up the Little Cloud Fox at her feet and instantly vanished from her spot, reappearing at a position not far from Im.
[Bang!]
The next second, the Iron Cage trapping Red Lotus was completely burst open.
Large amounts of Metal Scraps were about to shoot out in all directions.
But just as the surrounding CIPHER POL Members who were Guards, as well as Mikasa, Levi, and others, were preparing to Intercept them.
They were surprised to find that the Fragments only flew about two meters before stopping Mid-air, then automatically flew to a distant spot and piled up.
At this point, everyone realized that this Pale Blue Space seemed to have other functions.
Meanwhile, Im, the one responsible, merely admired the continuously growing Nine-Tailed White Fox.
Sixty meters.
This number might not seem very high, but put another way, it's nearly twenty stories tall.
When a fox this large appears before you.
Most people would inevitably feel Nervousness and Fear.
However, those present showed no panic about this, quietly watching it recover its Original Copy form.
"Owooo~~"
Red Lotus, regaining its Body Freedom, raised its head and couldn't help but let out a comfortable fox cry. Immediately, an Aura like a Gale erupted from its Body.
This caused the Figures of the Holy Land Garrison Soldiers with lower Strength to subtly sway.
They only felt a strong sense of Fear welling up in their hearts.
However, their firm Will and an even greater Fear kept their legs rooted to the ground.
Red Lotus, having vented some of the frustration in its heart, lowered its head.
It looked at the tiny Im with a pair of deep blue Vertical Pupils.
"Hmm?!"
But it was this gaze that caused trouble.
When its Gaze met Im's pair of indifferent Golden Ripple Eyes.
It only felt an unimaginable Fear surge into its Mindscape like a flood.
"This eye... Gaze, what a terrifying Gaze..."
Red Lotus hurriedly lowered its head to avoid Im's Line of Sight, subconsciously moving its trembling Body and retreating two steps.
The Fear in its heart made it feel ashamed and angry, yet it didn't dare to easily raise its head again.
"How is this possible?"
"How can there be such a Strong Human? This is simply more terrifying than the Aura of the Old Dragon, the Dragon Head when it's angry. Is this really a Human?!"
Red Lotus felt like it was going crazy at this moment.
It had only been a few days, and the Otherworlders it encountered were stronger than the last.
Especially the one before it, who merely sat there, and a single Gaze made its entire Body stiffen, unable to muster even a shred of Fighting Intent.
Normally, an Admiral Level Combat Power shouldn't be scared like this by just a Gaze from Im.
But Red Lotus was different.
It was a Super Dangerous Beast, essentially still a beast.
Therefore, its Perception of danger was sharper than that of Humans, which caused the Sense of Danger from Im to be magnified several times.
Of course.
It also had something to do with it not being Strong enough. If it were the Divine Dragon, perhaps it would at most feel apprehension and become Nervous.
"Who I am, you will slowly come to know in the future."
At this moment, Im finally spoke, breaking the atmosphere that had frozen to a standstill.
This also caused the others present to involuntarily let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"But you must understand and accept your new Identity."
"From today onwards, you are no longer a Super Dangerous Beast of the Imperial Arms World."
"At the same time, your Identity as a Divine Beast is retained, but from now on, you will be the Guardian Divine Beast of the fifth floor of this Noah's Ark. Your Treatment Rank will be the same as the 'Giant God Soldier'."
After hearing these words, Red Lotus felt extremely unwilling in its heart.
What Guardian Divine Beast? To put it bluntly, wasn't it just making it a watchdog for the other party? It was a Deity of a World before!
Suddenly.
Just then, Im added, "Of course, you can also refuse."
"Hmm?"
Red Lotus was startled, then heard Im say, "As recognition of your Strength, I allow you to die with your pride. I'll give you one minute for Consideration."
"..."
Red Lotus was dumbfounded and couldn't utter a single word.
The surrounding Esdeath, Historia, Stussy, and others silently watched it make its Choice.
At the same time, they were curious about how Im would follow through if it really refused.
After all, the other party had Admiral Level Combat Power. To them, this was an existence they could only look up to.
Time passed, second by second.
The atmosphere on the scene became oppressive, and Red Lotus felt increasingly heavy Pressure.
It was as if death was truly approaching it with the passage of Time.
Should it choose death?
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Suddenly, a CIPHER POL Member not far away looked at the dial on his wrist and recited expressionlessly.
This caused Red Lotus's expression to change drastically, and its Vertical Pupils also trembled violently.
"Five."
"Four."
"Three..."
"I agree!!!"
Red Lotus suddenly closed its eyes and shouted with a trembling Voice, successfully stopping the change in the numbers.
This also caused that CIPHER POL Member to silently lower his Right Hand.
Im seemed unsurprised, and commanded indifferently, "Then kneel down."
"Ho-Red Lotus, pays... pays respects to Master..."
The Nine-Tailed White Fox was seen slowly bending its forelegs with a dejected Gaze.
Then, with a loud thud, its huge Body knelt prostrate on the Grass Court.
Once upon a time.
The Humans of the Snow Region in the Imperial Arms World also knelt before it like this.
Tremblingly kowtowing, begging for mercy, praying, or worshipping...
Im nodded with satisfaction, then instructed Stussy, "Good. Have Utgard find a place for it and create a Snowfield and Snow Mountain as its beast den."
"Yes!"
Stussy quickly agreed.
At the same time.
Esdeath, however, looked at Red Lotus kneeling there, lost in thought. The level of shock in this scene was indescribable.
The great Divine Beast, the Deity, which had been passed down for thousands of years in her World, recorded and praised in the myths and epics of various countries and ethnic groups.
It actually bowed its head and submitted before Im without even daring to resist.
"You may rise. Next, answer my questions."
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Im's instruction, Red Lotus obediently complied.
"Esdeath gained the Ability to control Ice after drinking your Blood. Can your Blood also grant this Ability to others, or does it require the effect of the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy?"
Red Lotus answered Respectfully.
"Reporting to Master, as far as I know, among the Imperial Arms created by the Founding Emperor of the Empire back then, only my Blood was used without the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy. Instead, a Golden Jar was created that could permanently preserve the Blood's activity."
"But my Blood contains extremely strong Bestial Will and Strength, which can easily cause people to lose their Rationality, and their Bodies may also die tragically from being unable to bear it."
"Moreover, it has extremely high Requirements for the Talent for Ice Power. Over the past thousand years, only this Ms. Esdeath has successfully adapted."
Im raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
So it turned out that Esdeath's Imperial Arm was the most Original Copy Super Dangerous Beast Blood.
No wonder her Ability manifestation was clearly slightly stronger than the Imperial Arms other than the Supreme Imperial Arm.
However, the Supreme Imperial Arm was probably made using an entire Super Dangerous Beast as Materials.
Coupled with the top-tier Philosopher's Stone, Alchemists, and excellent Artisans using the power of the entire nation.
As for 'Demon Armor Transformation', it was purely because Bulat's Innate Ability was too good, and he just happened to encounter Tatsumi, who had maxed out Compatibility.
"Later, you will release twenty liters of Blood. In the future, if needed, once every three months."
Im decided to let the Biochemical Research Institute side try it first. Perhaps they could research something out of it.
"Yes..."
Red Lotus sighed in its heart, but could only agree. Immediately after, it heard Im say, "Next, tell me about the Power of Nature you have mastered. I am very interested."
This was the real reason he had someone capture it!
