Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 587 Crimson Hymn
"We are still lacking something if we want the Bloodline of the King of Sky and Wind to have the same effect as the Dragon Seed."

The professor, seated on horseback, spoke slowly.

He knew that Tao Pai Pai could read his mind, but he felt that time was very difficult to pass when he was with this kind of monster if he couldn't find something to talk about, so he took the initiative to explain.

The three keys needed to reach the Little Garden are the bloodlines of the three strongest species: [Dragon Seed], [Born God], and [Star Spirit].

Dragons are not ordinary dragons. In most cases, what are called dragons or dragon species are nothing more than hybrids or subspecies compared to true dragons.

【Dragon Seeds】are beings that arise from nothing and are born autonomously. They break free from the interference of causality through self-observation and become eternally existing beings.

Self-observation exists without relying on external observation or special conditions.

This very condition of birth is enough to tell us how high the dimension of this race is.

Even the Dragon King of the Dragon World, Nidhogg the Black King, is merely the ancestor of all dragons in this world, the origin of dragon creatures, and the ruler of the world—nothing more.

Therefore, the Dragon King bloodline in almost all derivative worlds of the "Dragon Race" universe does not meet Qingkong's needs.

Aside from the current D45 secondary world.

Seeing that Tao Bai Bai didn't respond, the professor had no choice but to continue.

"It is [Source Matter]. Source Matter exists in this world. Therefore, only the Dragon King bloodline of this world has a chance to barely meet the needs of the dragon race."

Bai Cangshu finally shifted his gaze away from the hybrid. This hybrid had an extremely strong will; even after using four vials of blood medicine, it still hadn't mutated out of control. Bai Cangshu prepared to inject the remaining two vials all at once.

His hands continued moving, but his face turned to the professor on horseback, asking questions with great interest.

"Is that [Source Matter] related to the Ancient Gods, or the Outer Gods?"

"Or rather... an observer?"

The professor was startled. The observer is the ultimate mystery of the spatial power system, which even the strongest may not know. But Tao Pai Pai has clearly come to know that level.

This, to some extent, explains why Tao Pai Pai became stronger so quickly.

He nodded.

“Indeed, the [Source Matter] is an essence that has some connection with the observer. We believe that the reason this world is so distorted is because it is being observed by multiple observers at the same time.”

"Therefore, during the collapse, the forces collided, and the [Source Matter] fell into this world."

"Whether it's the power of the dragon race, the power of the ancient gods, or the hidden and twisted power of the outer gods, as long as one possesses [Source Matter], one can reach unimaginable dimensions!"

Bai Cangshu nodded. Apart from the concept of [Source Essence], he had guessed most of the others as well.

"So, you think the [Source Essence] is probably in that [Bishop Lawrence]?"

Bai Cangshu noticed that the professor had used his sequence ability twice after entering this world. He then steered the conversation towards the source material and the Dragon King's blood marrow, clearly indicating that he already had a target in mind.

He was using this method to hint at his future course of action.

Bai Cangshu's lips twitched. The professor was a reincarnator with a rather weak personality. Even though he had a special sequence, he seemed to be considering the feelings of others at all times.

Such a person might be a perfect glue in many teams, but they cannot be considered a truly powerful reincarnator.

This can be sensed from the fact that Bai Cangshu never sensed any sign of spiritual energy or aura from him; he was extremely far from being a true expert.

Even less than this half-blood knight.

Zira~
Etoris's body trembled as he felt an electric current flow through his body, which then activated the activity of his body's cells.

His physical wounds had healed, and his shattered internal organs were now perfectly intact.

But Etoris felt no joy; instead, he was terrified.

"You guy..."

He spoke angrily, and the next moment, he felt as if a vast starry sky appeared before him, and countless chaotic memories and images began to appear.

His body began to writhe uncontrollably, and beneath his skin, flesh seemed to begin to grow abnormally.

In an instant, Etoris thought of the hideous appearance of those beastmen after their transformation, and his fear intensified.

puff!
With an excruciating pain in his spine, he instinctively bent over, and the sharp joints on his spine immediately pierced through the linen clothes on his back.

"what!"

Amidst roars of pain and fear, bone spurs rose from his body, and after an unbearable itching in his tailbone, white bone fragments grew from his genitals. In just a moment, Etoris underwent a significant mutation; with his muscles bulging inch by inch, his strength nearly doubled.

Bai Cangshu pointed a finger at his brow.

"Knight, think of your [Seraphina], you probably don't want to die yet..."

Golden ripples emanated from Bai Cangshu's body, stretching an exaggerated length of over ten meters, resembling some kind of drifting light band, extending outwards from behind Bai Cangshu.

On the desolate wasteland, littered with flames and bones, the scene was like the arrival of a saint.

Etoris's immense pain was merely relieved by the touch of the golden, rippling ribbons.

He didn't want to die, much less become that kind of beast. He wanted to return alive to Serafina's side, the benevolent lady, who was facing danger...

Bai Cangshu's lips curled up, and his head tilted back slightly. The more brilliant one's heart is, the more intense one's soul is, and the more difficult it is to let go of certain things.

Whether you call it a bond or an affection, that brilliance of humanity was so dazzling that even Bai Cangshu found it hard to look away from his greedy gaze.

and so……

"I will grant you the power of sunlight and flesh, Etoris. With this power, live on!"

The next moment, the golden ribbon suddenly contracted, then followed Bai Cangshu's fingertips and disappeared into the brow of the half-beast knight, whose white bone spurs were protruding one by one.

You have bestowed upon Aetoris the power of Ripple.

[The beast-like Etoris (hybrid) has accepted your gift.]

[Ripple Breathing Technique Lv9 is no longer available]

boom!
Golden ripples suddenly flowed through that abnormally twisted flesh, and the golden ripples began to spread out of Etoris' body in circles.

Soon, his flesh began to shrink, the process of becoming beast was stopped, and the knight, bathed in the dim sunlight, maintained his sanity with his willpower and the power that had appeared out of nowhere.

He was hunched over, panting heavily. The bone spurs on his back had retracted considerably, now only about thirty centimeters protruding from his body.

It looked like he was wearing a special kind of armor.

A hybrid who has gained some of the power of beast transformation, and now with a special energy called Ripple, Etoris's strength has increased dramatically.

Etoris drew his greatsword, which felt incredibly light to him. He looked up at the powerful and terrifying man and said with difficulty...
"Who are you?"

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

He couldn't understand why the other party had saved him after defeating him, and why the other party, who was clearly an enemy of the Healing Church and had killed those knights, would actively use blood potions to create beasts.

Bai Cangshu was overjoyed as he looked at the first person to receive his gift. He only hoped that the other person's heart would burn even more intensely, and that at the most brilliant moment, he would withdraw his Ripple Qi and bring that burning blood back into his own body.

"What do I want to do..."

"Perhaps it's about saving the world, perhaps it's about destroying the world."

"Huh, who knows?"

Etoris stared blankly at the tall man in the twilight, the terrifying female knight standing beside him, this man exuding an aura completely different from the oppressive and despairing atmosphere of this world.

Unrestrained, chaotic.

He suddenly knelt down on one knee and said...
"Since you have no ulterior motive, may I ask you to save someone?"

"The hope of the world, Her Majesty Saint Serafina, is currently being pursued by the [Chorus]. His Majesty Lawrence has already lost his way completely. We cannot afford to lose Her Majesty Serafina as well!"

Bai Cangshu noticed that every time that name was mentioned, the man's heart pounded violently.

Is that emotion love?

Not like.

Is it loyalty? Not entirely pure either.

The complex mix of emotions was what made this lion-like man's heart beat so fiercely.

[You have triggered a special quest, Crimson Hymn. Do you wish to accept?]
