Up till the present moment, the majority of evolutionary abilities, which the pangolin that Ren Suo was controlling had, did not give it an edge over the personnel of the Countermeasure Division or those who were Awakened.
The camouflage ability was effectively useless as one of the members of the Countermeasure Division specialized in detecting and was able to identify the precise location where the pangolin was at using an unknown technique.
Notwithstanding the combat ability, while the pangolin was a strong creature, it was completely unable to defend itself against gun bullets, and definitely not against paralyzing anesthesia guns—in that day and age, even a normal person would fall unconscious when shot by an anesthesia gun. Ren Suo was starting to understand why he had only seen monsters once or twice in the large city.
As long as the monsters did not evolve to a sufficiently high level and were unable to defend against the firearms, they would be locked in and killed by the personnel clad in black vests of the Countermeasure Division using special techniques. No matter how fast the monsters were, could they outrun a bullet?
If they could outrun a bullet, it meant that their physical body was able to withstand breaking the sound barrier, and that also meant that they would be able to withstand the impact from a bullet.
Sigh, so what if Reiki was rejuvenated, if ordinary life forms would still be targeted and shot at by firearm weapons in the early stages?
No one would know if those so-called “monsters” were actually sent to research labs for research after being anesthetized.
The pangolin was only escaping and not harming any people currently, so it appeared to have been classified as an elf. The Ren family of Practitioners in “Over My Dead Body” had also encountered elves a handful of times and gave birth to a few of their descendants. The most unique trait of elves was that they did not harm people and were able to communicate with humans. It was thus no wonder that the Countermeasure Division had spoken to the pangolin on their own accord.
However, in the game, the All-Devouring Soul would not be able to achieve its goal even by teaming up with any organization.
To become the strongest in the world was the goal of the All-Devouring Soul, but no human organization would be willing to make a non-human entity the strongest.
If the Countermeasure Division had an Awakened Ability that coerced the All-Devouring Soul to form a contract with them, which made the All-Devouring Soul their servant… it would be GG for that game save.
Ren Suo looked at the combat appraisal score at the top right corner of the screen. The strongest creature in the world was still getting stronger. Less than an hour after the pangolin activated the Volcano of Legacies, the strongest creature in the world had gained another 1000 combat points.
Nonetheless, the pangolin was also stronger than ever before with a combat power of 2300.
The basis of the combat score was still something that Ren Suo barely understood, but it definitely did not mean that the pangolin could win in a fight against 23 ordinary people.
If it could win a fight against 23 ordinary people without sustaining any injury, it would naturally be able to win a fight against 2300 people without sustaining any injury either, provided that the latter group did not flee first.
Regardless, the pangolin was still no match for the Countermeasure Division.
The helicopter was coming closer from afar, and there was not much time left for the pangolin to stay put. It would have more time to escape if the helicopter had to find a place to land, but there was still the possibility that the Countermeasure Division personnel could descend from a rope at a lower altitude, or perhaps the personnel from before who could control the wind, could utilize “Strength of the Wind” and allow the entire group of them to jump down directly from the helicopter.
Ren Suo was completely clueless as to what Awakened Abilities his opponent had, and how many people they had.
Moreover, Ren Suo had no intention of injuring any of his colleagues from the Countermeasure Division! He was, after all, a salary-receiving member of the Countermeasure Division and was able to enjoy his life playing games while “conning” the Countermeasure Division of their money.
Doing work? It was no longer possible for him to work at the front line for his entire life. He could only survive through exposing certain critical pieces of information at suitable timings.
Activate “Reiki Vision”!
The surroundings were dense forests and it was a sea of green. Obviously, Ren Suo was not looking for any treasure; rather, he was looking for a wild animal.
As he was trying to evade detection by the infrared thermosensors, Ren Suo realized that it was similar to the Reiki Vision sensor. As long as the Reiki content was different from that of the surrounding environment, the shape of that different object would be shown and exposed in the Reiki Vision.
There was no way of looking through a wall, but there was no problem doing so in the forest, within a certain area!
Of course, the most important reason was that the time in the game was currently 1 a.m., and the pangolin could not see anything with its bare eyes.
As the pangolin ran, Ren Suo panned the camera using the right stick of the controller, panning 360° around the area to look at the living objects nearby.
Not insects, it’s too low for a starting point.
Birds… they can be a backup choice.
Lizards… they can be a backup choice.
There’s a river nearby, so there would be fishes… Hmm, perhaps I can evolve the fish into an enormous deep-sea monster.
What on earth, it’s supposed to be a nature reserve, where are the stronger creatures!
Ren Suo blinked and paused the game for a moment to search for the definition of a nature reserve on his mobile phone.
Hmm… It just means that the natural environment is preserved, so it has nothing to do with keeping wild animals.
What should I do? Should I run another ten over kilometers to the next nature reserve? But who knows if there would be stronger wild animals in the next nature reserve…
Forget it, I shall just find a bird and make do with it.
Ren Suo controlled the pangolin to take a look around and randomly ran towards a bird-type Reiki creature. At that juncture, the helicopter was also nearing the location of the pangolin.
I don’t have much time left, I choose you, Kotori Minami—
Eh?
Just as the human-like pangolin charged towards the bird, the bush at the side shook violently, and a small fox emerged. It had a brownish-red back, a white belly, and a white-tipped tail. It appeared to have been frightened by the human-like pangolin.
It seemed to be the only fox in the area, and Ren Suo did not know if it had escaped from a fox-breeding shop or if it was a wild animal.
Nonetheless, Ren Suo’s eyes lit up at the sight of the fox and immediately controlled the human-like pangolin to rush over and catch the fox. With quick and nimble control, he changed the active ability to “Unending Legacy”!
“Unending Legacy”, activate!
Time seemed to stop in an instant. A crimson-red flame emerged from the body of the human-like pangolin, and the flame converged into a crimson-red trump card above the pangolin’s head. With a whistle, the flame entered the head of the small fox and fused together with it!
[You have activated Unending Legacy.]
[The master of the All-Devouring Soul has now been transferred to the Red Fox.]
[The Red Fox received the crimson-red trump card: Unending Legacy.]
[The Red Fox received 28 evolution opportunities.]
[Do you wish to use the special effect of Unending Legacy: Rekindle (choose 28 out of 84 evolutionary cards)? Otherwise, you may evolve as per usual.]
Since it was a special effect of the crimson-red trump card, Ren Suo naturally decided to try “Rekindle” at least once.
On the screen, 9 rows of evolution cards appeared, amounting to a total of 84 cards. Ren Suo quickly browsed through all of them and realized that the evolutionary abilities of the red fox were very different from the pangolin.
Most of the evolutionary abilities of the pangolin were physical attack types, and it was essentially a macho guy; on the other hand, the red fox was more of an assassin and a spy!
“Seductive Charm”, “Hint”, “Delusion”, “Concealed Presence”…
Of the 84 evolution cards, there was actually only one super-evolution card, which was “Personify”. Moreover, it was greyed out as Ren Suo had to level up any one of the red fox’s attributes to its maximum value before he could select it.
Perhaps that was because of inheritance from the pangolin, or perhaps “Personify” was the only option for the first super-evolution?
Wait.
Very quickly, Ren Suo understood the significance of “Unending Legacy: Rekindle”.
Previously when the pangolin leveled up in the wild, Ren Suo would choose the most useful one of the three evolution cards during each evolution, and it was basically a blind guess and choice;
But in Rekindle, he was essentially developing the best survival method for the character by selecting a combination of cards among the 84 given choices!
After 45 minutes of study in real life, Ren Suo finally decided on a combination of evolutionary abilities and continued the game.
He controlled the small fox to jump onto the ground while looking at the pangolin. It still stood at its original position.
Why was it still not dead?
Eh?
Ren Suo thought of a possibility. He opened the evolution panel and realized that in the description of “Unending Legacy”, it did not state that the previous creature after the inheritance would die.
At that juncture, Ren Suo realized that on the top left corner of the screen where the pangolin’s avatar was previously shown, it had changed to the avatar of the small fox. The avatar of the pangolin was on the second row.
At the same time, on the right of the pangolin’s avatar, a hint appeared saying, “Press the up arrow key to change the controlled target”.
Ren Suo’s eyes widened as he saw the screen perspective change from that of the small fox to that of the human-form pangolin!
Based on the game hints, the human-form pangolin was unable to further evolve, no longer able to devour Reiki, and all of its evolutions were lost. The reason why it still maintained its human form and its physical attributes only dropped to that of an average human was because super-evolutions could not be undone.
However, Ren Suo was still able to control the pangolin! That was sufficient for him!
“My pangolin comrade, we are personnel from the Countermeasure Division and are here to protect you. Please do not resist and accept that the nation would change you…”
Ren Suo let the pangolin remain at its position and accept the change, then controlled his red fox character and slipped away from the scene.
However, his emotions were surging in excitement.
The crimson-red trump card is truly a trump card!
