Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 864 Yu Chao
They went out.

When they came out of the palace gates onto the street, they couldn't see a single person, only a few guards lying in the middle of the road, their skin and armor stuck to the dirt like melted wax, as if they had grown out of the soil in the first place.

Hu Ling and Hippolyta rushed forward and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the guard was still alive. Hippolyta quickly took out all the wounds from the box and put them on the guard one by one.

She gave the guard all her ripped intestines, broken ribs, torn muscles, and even her eyeballs that had fallen out of their sockets. Xia Shou stood by and watched as Hippolyta's boxes emptied one by one, and saw that she was no longer covered in wounds and was getting healthier and healthier.

"What's your special ability called?" Xia Shou asked.

“I’ll name it ‘Malicious Collector’.” Hippolyta glanced at Xia Shou indifferently, then continued to transfer the wounds to the guard stuck to the ground, while taking off the wounds from his brother Hu Ling and putting them into the box.

Xia Shou observed, silently praising the other party's use of superpowers in his heart. This power to move things around reminded him of Idrissu. The two were too similar. Idrissu also "took" the injury from one person and then copied it onto another.

Hippolyta's ability is clearly more convenient. After she removes the injury, even if she is on the verge of death, the moved injury will not return to the original body. However, Idrissu must have someone bear the pain, and once the bearer dies, the transferred illness will return.

"Can your curse be transferred?" Xia Shou pressed.

"Not all of them are acceptable. The prerequisite for stealing and storing them is separation. I can only store relatively simple concepts. Physical things are the easiest to store. As for abstract things... ordinary injuries are basically all that's needed, but curses are not. Only things with a concrete image in my mind can be peeled off."

Although a wound is a concept, it is something that can be seen in reality. I can imagine that if it is a concept that is difficult for the human eye to see, I cannot separate it either. For example, a cold and cancer. I can store the large tumor that cancer produces, which is visible to the naked eye, in a box, but I cannot put all the cancer cells in the body in the box as well.

However, even if I skip the peeling step, I can still put it in the box... Look, do you see that guard stuck to the ground? He was clearly also affected by some force and became one with the ground. I can't separate this force from him and put it into the box separately, but I can still put him and the ground beneath him into the box.

Of course, his rank should be lower than mine.

"Let's not talk about that. How's the exploration going over there? Have you made any discoveries?"

“We found a warehouse that might contain important items, but there’s a guard there, and to be honest… he’s incredibly strong. Even if all of us went together, we probably wouldn’t be able to get in,” Xia Shou said.

“We encountered it too. That guy called himself the Spear of the Rending King. He was as strong as a monster, and he really has become a monster now. But we managed to steal some good stuff from it.” Hu Ling gave Hippolyta a knowing look.

Hippolyta placed her hand on the row of boxes at her waist, took out a notebook, and tossed it to Natsume.

"I found it with my compass!" Su Weiyu said eagerly, raising her hand.

She couldn't let someone steal her credit.

Then she added, "It seems to have been written by modern people who traveled through time, perhaps one of the people who fell from history. Also, they seem to know the truth about the cyclical history and that we are modern people from the future."

"Me too. By the way, Weiyu, are you alright? You seemed to have been seriously injured just now."

"Hmm, that person... is very strange." Su Weiyu frowned.

She described in detail her battle with the Spear of the Rending King, saying that she killed him easily, but the strange changes that occurred to his corpse after death were incomprehensible to him. When Su Weiyu mentioned that the Spear of the Rending King had the ability to replicate the damage in the illusion into reality, Xia Shou suddenly thought of the dog locked in that door, the First King's beloved dog—Velo.

Of course, it's only a very small part of the similarity. If we're really talking about who's stronger, that so-called Spear of the King is no match for Velo.

In Xia Shou's view, the dog's ability was almost unsolvable—it invaded an individual's time, directly altering their life and influencing their present by changing their past.

In terms of physical attack power, it's just an ordinary dog, but unfortunately, the opponent can go directly to a person's childhood before they've grown up and kill them before they can resist.

Xia Shou has already experienced this firsthand.

While the summer guard was pondering, Hippolyta also healed the mangled mustache, at the cost of another guard's life.

"That was close, I almost died," the man with the mustache said, touching his uninjured neck. "I should have gone with the other group."

Xia Shou tossed the notebook back to Hippolyta: "Let's go back and meet up with the others first. The original plan is definitely no longer usable. Since the king of this era already knows that he is in a time loop, we should change our original approach."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Weiyu suddenly seemed to realize something and asked in confusion, "But if they all knew they were in a time loop, how could so many people have been lured away? Didn't they realize this was a scheme?"

Xia Shou was taken aback and looked up in the direction from which the strange movement had come.

Su Weiyu's words made him feel vaguely uneasy.

……

……

The earth steamed, moisture filled the air, and the ground beneath his feet cracked and parched. The first mate knelt alone on the cracked ground, staring in astonishment at the figure that kept walking towards him.

His mind raced as he tried to figure out what had gone wrong.

This time, they awakened a mythical creature of extremely high status, and the method for awakening this creature was taught by Ignaz. Sparrow trusted Ignaz very much, and Ignaz did indeed have an extraordinary understanding of this Scarred Age.

Although Ignaz never explicitly stated it, anyone with a modicum of sense should know what was going on. The reason Ignaz knew so much secret information and was so certain about the consequences of his actions was because he knew this history.

His ability to correctly awaken "Ikushio" and perfectly utilize methods to prevent being influenced by Ikushio is the best proof of his thorough understanding of this history.

According to Ignaz, this invisible mythical creature is an anomaly (or anomaly) born under the authority of the seamstress, and its most direct effect on things is fusion, followed by the disappearance of reproductive isolation.
