"Eat the genetic fruits," David said, taking so genetic fruits from the storage system and distributing them quickly to the team mbers. Then he added, "Sophie, replenish your energy first, and then provide treatnt to everyone."
David shifted his gaze and looked at Edmund not far away. At the sa ti, Edmund was staring at David as if he were watching prey about to be devoured.
Finally, Edmund suddenly erupted into a chilling laughter, "Hahaha! From the mont you set foot in this wasteland world, your fate was sealed—you can only be a dead man! And today is your day of reckoning!"
Edmund didn't hide his intense hostility towards David in the slightest. In the next mont, holding the Zerg Heart in his hand, he rapidly moved his throat, and a series of cryptic and incomprehensible syllables erged from his mouth.
David furrowed his brow, observing every move carefully. It seed like Edmund was summoning sothing. And indeed, after uttering the final syllable, Edmund suddenly opened his eyes wide. His eyes were now soaked in what appeared to be blood, with a thick layer of crimson coating his eyeballs.
Not only that, but even Edmund's skin began to turn blood-red, as if all the blood beneath his skin had rushed to the surface, making him look like he had just erged from a blood pool. Edmund twisted his neck, and the sound from his throat was no longer cryptic and incomprehensible; it was more like a "creak" sound, extrely discomforting to listen to.
"The terror of the Zerg... you can't even imagine it!" Edmund stared at David with his blood-red eyes, his words eerie and his expression bizarre.
David remained calm and composed, still standing in place. Since coming to this wasteland world, he had witnessed too many bizarre occurrences. Even now, with Edmund neither fully human nor fully inhuman, he remained remarkably composed. He was sure that this guy in front of him was about to make a move. So, he secretly tightened his grip on the Staff of the Desolation in his hand.
At that mont, David suddenly felt a familiar presence behind him. With a quick glance, he saw a run-down wooden hut.
"Hmm? Why is Clive here?" David was puzzled.
At this point, Clive had already pushed open the wooden door and carrying the bamboo chair he often lounged in,walked over to David. "I had to co in this situation. This guy has gone completely insane."
Without waiting for David to inquire further, Clive furrowed his brows tightly, looking with alarm at Edmund, whose bones were still contorted. The mont Edmund raised the Zerg Heart, Clive, far away in the Abyssal Graveyard, sensed an aura that was beyond this world, spreading endlessly. It even affected the Apocalypse, causing the zombies in the graveyard to go on a rampage.
Clive knew that David was in a dire situation, and he rushed over imdiately, even though he knew he was no match for Edmund. But sohow, he felt that he had to be by David's side.
Edmund's body remained grotesquely twisted, to the point where it was no longer recognizable as a normal human shape. This caused Clive's expression to darken even further. Seeing Clive's alard gaze, David remained calm and didn't say anything. At this mont, he didn't need any assistance. In other words, no one could help him.
Edmund's formidable and mysterious power could only be matched by him. For anyone else, they would be re cannon fodder. However, David knew that Clive's presence still had so benefits, such as his knowledge of the wasteland world. Even though he now possessed the Staff of the wasteland, which allowed him to perceive everything in the wasteland land, having a living person by his side was still sowhat convenient.
Edmund continued to emit a grating "cackling" sound, and his gaze towards David beca even more malicious.
Seeing this, David had run out of patience. He knew that Edmund was about to unleash a deadly attack. In that case, he had to strike first. He raised the Staff of the wasteland and soared into the air, suspended high like a beam of light.
In the next mont, David aid the staff at Edmund's body. With a thought, a blazing and dazzling beam of light erupted from the staff, heading straight for Edmund. The trendous explosion shook the entire wasteland world violently, creating a shockwave that turned hundreds of nearby super-beasts into minced at. Dust rose to thousands of ters in height, covering everything in its path.
David waved the Staff of the wasteland again, and the towering dust cloud was instantly sucked into the void. He gazed at Edmund's peculiar behavior. Chunks of black substances continued to fall from Edmund's body, resembling a creature shedding its skin. As these black objects landed on the ground, their red-glowing skin beca exposed to David's view.
At that mont, Edmund suddenly lifted his head, and David noticed a hint of amusent in his eyes. The earlier beam of light hadn't hard him; instead, the insects on his body had protected him.
Understanding this, David was taken aback. He hadn't expected that, at the critical mont, this guy could summon so many insects to form a protective armor around him.
"This guy... has this kind of power," David thought. He no longer underestimated Edmund and kept a cautious eye on him. The earlier attack had not been very forceful; David had rely wanted to test Edmund, but inadvertently triggered one of his abilities.
David's words made Clive tense up, and his hand gripping the bamboo chair began to sweat. Arnold and the others stared at Edmund as if he were a monster.
No, this guy was indeed a monster! When all the black insects had completely fallen off him, Edmund's entire body was exposed to David's view, his skin blood-red. He still raised his head, staring fixedly at David.
"Do you want to taste the flavor of death?" Edmund said in a garbled, unclear voice, his mouth torn all the way to his ears.
In the next mont, David suddenly heard a buzzing sound all around him. Everyone present also heard it and looked up.
