A mob of clones

Chapter 540 Devouring Wu He: Instead of running away, you even dare to come towards me?
Mid-October, 2057…

Hongning Base City, Pingyang District, Extreme Martial Arts Hall...

"Wow~"

The door was pushed open, and a figure with something obviously held in one hand slowly walked in.

Seeing this figure, the people in the building immediately looked over here.

Seeing that the person coming was Wu He, many people immediately greeted him.

In response to this, Wu He naturally responded one by one.

However, he did not waste too much time here. He went upstairs and just smiled and said a few words to two acquaintances when he passed by them.

Then he walked to the floor where he lived.

Looking at Wu He going upstairs, Li Shuai and the other man who had just greeted him couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Ah~, look at this kid Wu He~, he's only seventeen years old and he dares to make two museum owners wait for him here."

“And every time I wait so long.”

"I really don't know when I can have the same style as him..."

In response, Liu Quan beside him gave him a sidelong look.

"You're the only one who wants the same treatment as Wu He? You should think about how to advance to the God of War level."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuai immediately became furious:
"What's wrong with the God of War level? The God of War level is amazing."

In response to this, Liu Quan nodded seriously:

"God of War level is awesome~, God of War level is amazing~, if you haven't reached God of War level, you are a loser~"

"Li Shuai, although you are ugly, you know that you are not good enough. I am very happy about this..."

Li Shuai: “…”

"You you you you——"

……

For the moment, I will ignore Li Shuai who was defeated again and focus on Devouring Wu He...

"Ah~, Third Brother, you are finally back, but you have kept us waiting for a long time."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come and help me take a look at my third level of lightning field. Why can't I break through it no matter what?"

Looking at the Thunder God who was running towards him with eyes shining after he appeared, Wu He could not help but stretch out his hand speechlessly to ask him to be patient, and then walked into the room.

And the one walking towards him at this moment was Hong.

But Hong's focus was obviously different.

As a former killer, his observation ability is much better than that of Thor. He saw the thing in Wu He's hand with just one glance.

Looking at the black egg-like thing, Hong also understood that it was impossible for Devour Wu He to do it without a purpose. Recalling the journey of Devour Wu He during this period, his eyes immediately lit up and he said:

"Wu He, is this what you've gained from going to the Hawaiian Islands every now and then?"

In response to this, Wu He nodded naturally, then raised his hand slightly and placed the black and gold egg in his hand in front of him, in front of Hong and Lei Shen.

"That's right, I've been busy all this time just to find this thing!"

……

Half a day ago...

Devouring Star World, Hawaiian Islands...

This land where Conan used to study, which was once posted on various video platforms and social networking sites, is still in the rain and completely occupied by coastal monsters on the star-devouring earth after the Great Nirvana period and the cosmic era is far from coming.

Or in other words, ever since the Great Nirvana Period, the ocean has always been the territory of monsters!
The sea area on Earth is much larger than the land area, and the boundless ocean gave birth to all kinds of terrifying monsters.

It can be said that if a person is thrown into the sea, no matter how good he is at swimming, he will probably be eaten up and only bones will be left in just a few seconds.

Shift your gaze slightly downward and look towards the area within dozens of miles around the archipelago. You can take in everything within dozens of miles below and see such a picture.

Bubbles were constantly coming out of the deep blue sea surface like boiling water. A hideous-looking strange fish was constantly tossing its body in the sea water, jumping onto the surface of the sea from time to time.

This group of strange fish either jumped onto the shore and twisted their bodies to be swallowed by other monsters above the sea, or fell back under the sea and entered the mouths of larger strange fish, or were swallowed by predators that fell from the sky.

Even in this earth's soil that has undergone some evolution, the food chain still exists.

Even after being infected by the RR virus, most monsters can unconsciously absorb the almost endless genetic energy in the universe after growing a little, in order to supplement their own skyrocketing energy consumption needs. They only need to eat a small amount of food like before the mutation to maintain life needs.

But as we all know, in the biosphere, ecological niches are always something that comes in a hurry.

When you are strong enough, as long as you act fast enough, your advantages will continue to accumulate like positive feedback, and will be unstoppable like a flood that opens and dominoes fall.

As long as there is no way to escape the normal law of the jungle in a place like the biosphere, then every race will naturally pursue higher, bigger, and stronger.

This is especially true now that countless creatures on Earth, with the help of the RR virus, have widened the gap in personal strength to the extreme.

As long as one reaches the level of a beast-soldier monster, he can independently absorb the almost endless genetic energy in the universe.

In this chaotic world filled with eating and being eaten, almost every creature has become a combination of producer and consumer.

Every time a living creature is eaten, its own energy is continuously transferred to the upper level.

If we regard the monster as a fixed system, we can see that the stored energy in it is constantly increasing.

The number of organisms that this entire ecosystem can accommodate is fixed.

The amount of energy that can be stored in a small organism is also limited.

Therefore, this part of enhanced energy naturally flows to the top of the pyramid.

That is, those lord-level, king-level and even emperor-level monsters.

This form of energy flow is the main reason why the monsters, although they have neither the inheritance of various ancient relics nor the blessing of technology, are still far ahead of humans in terms of upper-level power.

If it weren't for the two other geniuses, Hong and Lei Shen, on the human side, the situation of humans would at most be comparable to that of some races among monsters that have produced king-level monsters.

Becoming a lamb in a higher-level royal monster ranch with nothing special about it...

And it was in this pasture that belonged to the monsters...

He watched leisurely as countless low-level monsters bit each other, constantly devouring each other's flesh and blood, and working with the genetic energy in the universe to increase his own body's strength, gradually transforming himself into a qualified lord-level monster without knowing it.

An uninvited guest has quietly arrived without anyone noticing...

Earth, the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of miles from the Hawaiian Islands, deep in the sea...

Cold and dark!
In the sea area below three thousand meters, the light shining down from the sea surface has almost completely disappeared. There is hardly any light on the entire seabed. Darkness and desolation are the only tones of this place.

In this area of ​​the seabed, an oval black giant egg with a diameter of about twelve meters has been here for some time and mixed with the reefs in the deep sea.

It is covered with mud and weeds, and looks like a mimic octopus, blending completely with the surrounding environment.

However, even with such a perfect disguise, it is absolutely impossible to deceive all lives 100%.

And just today, a fish monster with a body length of at least seventy or eighty meters and covered with green scales swam to the side of the giant egg and circled around it.

In fact, this blue fish-shaped monster was not the first time to discover the difference of this giant egg.

The last time it clashed with this dome was two months ago.

At that time, it was still very weak, with a body length of only seven or eight meters and still in its infancy, but relying on its race, it could already use its teeth to tear the flesh of a lord-level monster.

But such sharp teeth are of no use to this black giant egg.

Not only did it not cause any harm to it, it almost broke his own teeth.

And just recently, a lord-level monster died, and countless monsters fought each other for the corpse of the lord-level monster.

The blue fish-shaped monster gained the upper hand in that battle because of its teeth, and ultimately won, completing the adulthood process ahead of schedule and becoming a lord-level monster.

In just two months, its body length increased tenfold.

He was also named the king-level monster of this sea area and became the lord of this sea area.

Although sea monsters are weaker than land monsters in most aspects of intelligence, their thinking and memory abilities are greatly improved after their strength reaches the lord level.

Gained wisdom and thinking ability that is no less than that of humans.

This reminded it of everything it had experienced not long ago, and it turned around and found the giant black egg.

It wanted to see if this strange giant egg could still break its sharp teeth like it did in the past when it was facing the teeth of a king-level monster with its current lord-level power? !
Suddenly, the green fish-shaped monster slowly opened its mouth. Its sharp fangs seemed to emit a chilling light even in the dark sea.

Strands of sea water, like lines, were carried by the surrounding water pressure and drilled into the mouth of the fish-shaped monster, then flowed out through its gills.

The mere act of opening and closing his mouth created a subtle undercurrent in the surrounding sea.

A slight undercurrent hit the black giant egg, pulling it to move slightly.

The black giant seemed to have sensed the threat, and slight vibrations emanated from it.

The frequency of the giant egg's vibration was not very high. If an ordinary person were here, they would probably not be able to tell whether it was vibrating on its own or simply being carried away by the sea water.

The slight vibration caused the mud and weeds on the giant egg to quickly slide down, revealing the black eggshell with golden patterns.

It was clearly just a giant egg that had not yet fully hatched, but at this moment the blue fish-shaped monster opposite could clearly feel a strange emotion from it, and that emotion was called - uneasiness.

And underneath the uneasiness, there was also a subtle emotion that was called fear.

Suddenly, the two fish eyes of the green fish-shaped monster revealed a hint of subtle pride. Although it had just gained intelligence not long ago and did not have the real ability to organize language when it came online, at this moment, a different kind of emotion already permeated its body.

"Uneasy? Fearful? That's right, be uneasy and fearful!"

"You will become my food and help me become stronger!"

"I will become the most powerful emperor-level monster in this sea! And you will become a part of me and witness the rise of this miracle!"

The next moment, the green fish-shaped monster moved up and down and closed, biting heavily on the black giant egg and swallowing the entire giant egg directly into its mouth.

But before he could swallow the giant egg in his mouth, a faint trace of blood extended directly from the fish head to the tail.

The undercurrents caused by the green fish-shaped monster had not completely disappeared. Under the influence of the water pressure, the fish-shaped monster's body split directly in the middle and shifted to both sides. The bright red blood instantly spread over most of the sea.

However, the vitality of fish is extremely strong, and that of lord-level monsters is even stronger, even though the entire fish was split directly in half from the middle.

But the blue fish-shaped monster still stared with its two fish eyes wide open, wanting to take a look at the culprit who killed it.

However, he saw nothing. He only saw a huge black egg, under the pull of gravity, slowly falling to the ground along with his other half's body.

Seeing this, the fish-shaped monster suddenly widened its eyes in disbelief, looking at the black giant egg, a strange thought flashed through its mind, converted into human words, that is - "Could it be..."

"That's right~, it's me!"

The black and gold giant egg fell towards the seabed again, but this time it did not touch the reefs on the seabed. Instead, it was blocked by a slender arm.

The twelve-meter-high dome looks like a small mountain, but it is supported by those slender arms.

Then the scene was as amazing as an embroidery needle lifting a car...

And the owner of this hand is naturally - Devour Wu He.

After taking a look at the lord-level monster in front of him with wide eyes and gradually losing its vitality, Swallowing Wu He smiled slightly.

"Why? Do you think this guy is afraid of you?"

"No, you guessed wrong."

"You are just an eighth-level apprentice. You are not qualified to scare this guy."

"It's scared!"

"it's me!"

"Buzz!"

A violent tremor sounded from the twelve-meter giant egg that swallowed Wu He's palm.

But the next moment, the one who had swallowed Wu He suddenly raised his eyes, and a will that was extremely terrifying suddenly descended like a meteorite, pressing heavily on the black and gold giant egg.

Almost instantly, the trembling dome stopped struggling, and a strong sense of uneasiness and fear emanated from inside the dome.

Devouring Wu He could clearly feel the inside of the giant egg. A will that was originally dormant suddenly woke up and quickly hit the eggshell of the giant egg, as if trying to break the seal and get out in advance.

However, how could Wu He, who was devouring Wu He, allow it to do whatever it wants? !

"That won't do. According to the original book, it will take you another year to hatch completely. If your premature birth affects Luo Feng's subsequent opportunities."

"If I lose a Hunyuan Lord-level assistant, I will be at a great loss."

In this deep sea full of water, Wu He did not want to taste the bitterness of this world, so he did not speak, but his will turned into a sword and pierced into the depths of the giant egg.

There, inside the dome, the golden-horned beast had not yet fully developed. It only felt a flash before its eyes, and its originally dark vision changed in an instant, and the world in front of it suddenly changed its appearance.

It was a wonderful world just like the one in his inheritance.

According to the information in the inherited memory, the place where it exists now should be called the starry sky.

All around it was a deep, dark vacuum, with only a few starlights illuminating its body, allowing it to see the scene clearly.

But it would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. Once he looked at the golden-horned beast, his heart suddenly felt cold.

Because right in front of him, a star-like eye was staring at him closely. His vision was magnified, and the face that had swallowed Wu He suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

The so-called earth under the feet of the golden-horned beast was exactly the palm that swallowed Wu He.

Looking at the golden-horned beast in his palm, which was not much bigger than a mite, an inexplicable smile appeared on Wu He's face. His roar pierced into the soul of the golden-horned beast like thunder, shaking his mind and disrupting his will, instantly making him lose the ability to think.

But even so, the killing instinct of the golden-horned beast still made it roar angrily at Wu He, as if it was resisting.

But at this moment, the palm that swallowed Wu He turned around and slowly pressed down, instantly suppressing his consciousness completely, and he lost all ability to resist.

"Instead of running away, you actually dared to come towards me?"

"This golden-horned beast is indeed one of the ten most powerful bloodlines among the star beasts."

“It is indeed unique.”

"But it's a pity that I met you..."

"So you better be honest with me and stay here."

……

Opening his eyes, Wu He glanced at the surrounding sea monsters that were attracted by the blood of the lord-level monsters. He did not pay too much attention to this group of real trash fish. He flipped his palm slightly, and the twelve-meter-high black giant egg above his head suddenly twisted.

In a flash, the black giant egg was swallowed by Wu He and turned into a "space compression package", which turned into a palm-sized black egg held in his hand and held in front of him...

At this moment, the corner of Wu He's mouth slightly raised a smile...

"Golden Horned Beast~ I got it."

……

The vision returns to the present...

Looking at the "black gold egg" in Wu He's hand, which was almost as big as an egg, Thor's face was full of confusion.

"What is this? There doesn't seem to be any strange energy fluctuations in it. Even after opening the domain, I didn't feel anything different about this egg."

"Is it the egg of some powerful monster? Can it be used as a battle pet?"

"The egg is so small, the thing inside won't be that big even if it hatches."

In response, Devouring Wu He smiled slightly.

"Small? This thing is not small..."

Swallowed Wu He's words were a bit incoherent, and the Thunder God on the opposite side scratched his head while listening to them.

But the next moment he understood what Swallowed Wu He meant.

Because Wu He threw out the egg...

In an instant, the black giant egg grew in the wind, expanding from seven or eight centimeters to seventy or eighty centimeters, and then to seven or eight meters, until it reached twelve meters, filling up the entire huge training room built to allow warriors to do their best. Hong and Lei Shen were stunned...

Looking at the two people in front of him who were stunned, a smile appeared on Wu He's face.

"Do you still think this thing is small now?"

However, before Hong and Lei Shen on the opposite side could answer Swallow Wu He's question, a cry of surprise came from behind Swallow Wu He.

"This, this, this?! This is! The egg of the star beast?!"
