Han suddenly felt disgusted since Black Egg was treating the activated Thousand-Arms Asura as food and was drooling all over the floor. Han, as a normal human being, had no interest in that piece of hard metal.
Han smiled lightly. No matter what, Black Egg finally had a reason to fight. Being the top tier battle force by Han’s side, Black Egg was far stronger than Silver Fox, Ghost Claw and Demon Claw. Even Han was no match for him. Black Egg could easily beat Han up even without using the Soul Kill ability, which was enough to prove his power.
Now, this Twin-Gold-Pupil Soul Beast finally showed a strong will to fight, and this was exactly what Han was looking for.
"Good! Kill him! You can do whatever you want to this thing!" Han yelled out loud to Black Egg.
Ow~
After hearing that, the Black Egg rushed up ahead without waiting. Han and Pluto also followed behind.
This was their strongest fighting potential in the whole team.
Rumble~~~
Black Egg could fly. He dodged the Thousand-Arms Asura like a swift missile, rushing onto its face and scratching it fiercely with its sharp claws!
This was just a warm-up. Black Egg’s strongest attack was the black beams of light shot from his mouth. The destructive ability of these were not any less than the arrows of the Flying Feather Bow. Also, with Black Egg’s speed and mobility, it was a fatal threat to any enemy.
\r \r \r
Nobody knew what kind of power Pluto used to have in the past. However, he now had a fibrotic body and had become a phenomenal warrior. The power gained from the fibrous body allowed Pluto to play with metal like a piece of dough.
Pluto’s strength was quite shocking. He wasn’t even afraid of being attacked. The fibrotic body had a high level of elasticity. The enemies’ attacks on his body were like hitting an elastic ball, only being strong enough to bounce off Pluto, but were still far from hurting him. Even the sharpest sword could not go though his body.
Luo Ying’s Banshee was a bizarre super power. The Banshee Protector didn’t belong to a class of superpower since even though Han opened his Void End, she could still go here and there without being affected.
In general, the Banshee was good with spirit attacks. She could go through the enemies’ body like a shadow and directly destroy their soul. In addition, she can also turn herself into a physical entity, where her eagle-like claw could scratch though the enemies’ body and pull out their heart. It was such a horrifying but realistic existence.
In terms of Jian Jia, she was always so proud of herself. With the rare full-water-system superpower, she was actually still the weakest existence on the team. On one hand, her rank was not high enough. On the other hand, even though the full-water-system was rare, it might not necessarily have a phenomenal power. Most of the time, Jian Jia’s attack was even weaker than Pluto or Han’s fist.
Both of these guys were pretty strong in close-up battles. Pluto was using incredible brute strength, and Han was the embodiment of chaotic dark forces. With these fists landing, each really felt like it was capable of shattering earth and heaven.
However, although Jian Jia’s power was not as strong, she was a top tier battlefield supporter. She could release cold air and freeze enemies. When Han needed a boost to jump, Jian Jia could make out an ice block so that Han could maneuver precisely with his Six Paths of Void by stepping on the ice.
When protection was needed, Jian Jia could also set up traps, or build an icy wall.
All in all, even though it was a temporary team, every team member brought an unique asset to the team. They all brought out their skills which made their collective battle strength phenomenal.
In terms of Han’s enemy, which was the so-called Humanoid Weapon—the Thousand-Arms Asura, was in a difficult position.
Han finally discovered, Black Egg wasn’t interested in the hard metal body of the Thousand-Arms Asura, but his third eye.
Apostle Zero absorbed the power from the three elders that had opened their Sky Eyes and connected his Eye of Reincarnation with the Thousand-Arms Asura. After a series of complicated transformations and changes, the Thousand-Arms Asura’s third eye, which was glowing with red light, suddenly turned into an energy that Han has never seen before. It was full of source energy, dark energy, the biological forces that belonged to the clones, as well as rare forces that belonged to other humanoid weapons.
Black Egg was actually highly interested in this strange and complicated source of energy. He was flying in the air and tried to grab the face of the Thousand-Arms Asura, as if he was trying to pull out his third eye.
Back in the old days, Black Egg was really hungry for Han’s power. The energy of Han was a combination of two forces, source energy and dark energy. Now, facing this Thousand-Arms Asura whose third eye gathered at least four different powers, it was such a huge temptation to Black Egg. He seemed to be afraid of destroying the third eye of Asura, but also was determined to pull out the third eye and eat it himself.
Han was thinking in his mind, "Is Black Egg not interested in normal energy bodies but rather those complex mixed ones? If so, it will be kind of hard to feed him. Where can I even get that many complex mixed energy bodies for him?"
However, Black Egg’s attack towards the Thousand-Arms Asura did give him big trouble. Undoubtedly, Asura’s third eye must be his important means of attack. But now, his third eye lost its function.
While Black Egg was so aggressively trying to pull out Asura’s third eye, Asura not only couldn’t use his third eye, but also had to cover it with his hand to avoid the attacks from Black Egg.
Han and Pluto were fighting face to face, Black Egg was determined to pull out the enemy’s eye, and Jian Jia was supporting from far away.
Shua~
Jian Jia’s Banshee Protector opened her eye wide and dodged an attack. Then, she rushed to somewhere slightly far from the battlefield. She took out a black crystal from the dead body of Apostle Zero and handed it to Han.
At this moment, Han suddenly had an illusion. This Banshee was not scary at all. She even looked kind, and was smiling warmly to him.
Unfortunately, this moment flashed away. The Banshee showed her cold face again and continued to fight.
Han looked down at the black crystal on his hand. It was actually the last piece of the Dark Crystal left by Lu Yao after his death. This piece of crystal was different than the other pieces, it was a black diamond crystal, and the color was darker than the other ones.
So it turns out that this crystal had been hidden in Apostle Zero’s body. His body was thrown out after his death, so the crystal fell onto the ground. Fortunately, the Banshee spotted it right away and picked it up from his dead body.
"With this, then all seven crystals are gathered!" Han suddenly realized.
At the same time, Black Egg finally went berserk. He wanted that eye, but it was firmly defended by the Thousand-Arms Asura, and that pissed Black Egg off. He began accelerating like mad, and charged right at the Thousand-Arms Asura’s arm, instantly shattering it.
At this point, Black Egg’s deep black claw grabbed the eye immediately, that strange red-light eye was then pulled out directly!
Ouch~~
Chapter 349: Metal Life Form and the Guess about the Third Eye

Aowooo~
As the Thousand-Arms Asura let out a miserable cry, something strange happened.
This giant hundred-meter tall metal Asura slumped down onto the ground, crossing its four legs. Countless arms retracted into its body, leaving only nine arms, and its body wound up like a lotus flower, motionless.
Thump~
With a loud sound and a string of golden light, the hundred-meter giant Thousand-Arms Asura shrunk into a palm-size sculpture that was even shorter than Han’s ankle.
This sudden change made them uncomfortable. They all thought that this monster would be furious when Black Egg dug out his eye, triggering a fierce battle. But it turns out that the Thousand-Arms Asura withdrew instead!
Puzzled, Han picked up this golden sculpture. He didn’t win against the Humanoid Weapon, but he got this instead!
"This thing……", Han shook his head and said.
On the other hand, Black Egg ran away, holding the Thousand-Arms Asura ’s third eye. For some reason, Black Egg didn’t want to eat this eye in front of Han.
"I will go! You guys protect Luo Ying!" Luo Ying’s protector banshee volunteered to run after Black Egg. As an alien creature whose energy was close to a spirit, she was the only one whose speed could catch up with Black Egg. Others, not even Pluto, could compete with Black Egg.
Han frowned, "Seems like this is the original form of the Thousand-Arms Asura. Didn’t know he was this tiny."
\r \r \r
Jian Jia said, "This sculpture is remarkable. If given enough energy, he can restart. He is controlled by the energy dispenser. During the fight just now, his flexibility was near that of a real living fighter, nothing like a pile of alloy."
"Don’t forget, there was some luck to us beating him. It is because Black Egg was determined to dig out the Thousand-Arms Asura ’s eye. Causing it to not be able to bring his full combat power into play."
"Look, the forehead of the Thousand-Arms Asura sculpture is empty. There are also some marks. It means that this humanoid weapon had three eyes in the past. It is very likely that a Thousand-Arms Asura with the third eye is its strongest form."
"Though Apostle Zero shifts his life and his third eye to Thousand-Arms Asura, the eye of Apostle Zero was not the original configuration. The reason is simple: just like how as technology advances, fallen arms can be reconnected. But no warrior wants a new arm. Because the synthetically produced arms are not as powerful as before, or it can even become a burden. This is why there are so many one-armed soldiers."
Pluto nodded and said, "I agree with what Jian Jia said. We’ve got lucky this time. For various coincidences, Thousand-Arms Asura didn’t show his true power. Judging from the source energy fluctuating in his body, this sculpture has great potential for fighting."
"It also reminded me of what Apostle Zero said. It was the Three-Eyed King who first discovered this sculpture. The Thousand-Arms Asura had three eyes and so does the Three-Eyed King. What a coincidence. Apparently, a magical deformable metal being like the Thousand-Arms Asura is not something the Galactic technology can create. So this sculptor must come from foreign space."
Han lowered his voice, "I understand what you said, but I thought of something else. The Triple-Eyed Race is said to have three eyes, while in fact, it is rare to find people who really have three eyes in this race. Up to date, hundreds of millions of the population died out, but I have only seen four people with three eyes out of the entire race, plus the replica Apostle Zero."
"Also, Lesa, Riley and Arthur the Cerberus have stayed in the fleet of Three-Eyed Race for 3 years by chance, but they had never seen a soldier with a Sky Eye. This means that, the percentage of having a Sky Eye is one in a several hundred billion, or even one in a trillion."
"I studied Genetic Science before. If the Sky Eye really is the biological feature of the Three-Eyed Race, this low heritability is unbelievable."
"Look at this Thousand-Arms Asura sculpture, he has a third eye, but it is empty in the place of the third eye. Is it possible that the Three-Eyed Race got his Sky Eye from this sculpture? Because it is an genetic power from outer space, that’s what caused the Three-Eye Race to have such a low percentage of people activating their Sky Eye."
Pluto suddenly hesitated, then he said in a lower voice, "Your assumption is bold, but it is not without sense. After all, no one knows why some evolved into the Three-Eyed Race from the human race. It is said to be gene mutation, what if it is not? It was dozens of epochs ago, no one can justify that."
"In this sense, we are quite lucky. If the Thousand-Arms Asura was intact, and had his third eye, we might not compete with this mysterious metal being."
Han shrugged and smiled, "In fact, my biggest childhood dream is to take a look at the sky beyond the earth. I will be satisfied if I have a small shabby ship."
"Look at it now, it’s getting more complicated. Intelligent beings, energy beings, now metal beings? If this Thousand-Arms Asura is not unique, and in some unknown places in the universe, there are a lot of metal monsters with a third eye, then this will be awful."
"I’ve never seen the Three-Eyed King, but the Eye of Reincarnation replicated from him by Apostle Zero is incredible. It can control lives? It absorbs one’s life when he wants to take it. And it is not even a super power. My Void End can’t beat the Eye of Reincarnation."
"Suppose one day, I’m hanging around outside, and there comes a bunch of metal beings and everyone of them has an Eye of Reincarnation. No fights are needed, the reincarnation could put me to death easily."
Luo Ying tilted her head, saying naively, "With that being said, this world suddenly became horrifying, not beautiful at all. I think this Eye of Reincarnation must have conditions. Otherwise, why didn’t the Apostle Zero kill us right away? Reincarnating our life and energy into him, and he wins. Why would he bother to reincarnate this guy made of gold?"
Han’s eyes lit up, patting on Luo Ying’s head and said, "You are a smart little girl. If he can kill us, Apostle Zero indeed wouldn’t get to the stage of self-destruction. Maybe it is really like what you said."
Hehe
Luo Ying giggled. An innocent smile. Jian Jia humphed indifferently. This weird girl seemed to match well with Han’s, leaving Miss Jian Jia in jealousy.
Suddenly~
Luo Ying let out a scream, but then she quickly covered her mouth, frightened.
"What happened to you?" Han asked in curiosity.
Luo Ying didn’t answer and looked straight to the distance. Black Egg flew back, with a happy glean in his eyes. Luo Ying’s protector banshee followed behind, looking pale on her face, as if she saw something that wasn’t supposed to be seen.
In Black Egg’s hand, the third eye of Thousand-Arms Asura was gone – it was probably hidden and eaten by him. Is it possible that Luo Ying cried out because of this, and the protector banshee turned pale seeing Black Egg swallow that eye?
Thinking of this, Han looked at Black Egg carefully again. The thin black scales covering the whole chubby body with a pot belly and his two short little wings were glistening. He had a huge head, and a stout neck. A row of tiny teeth in his mouth, and a pair of large golden eyes that shined. Nothing peculiar.
"What did you see?" Han asked Luo Ying’s protector banshee.
The banshee, with her hair straggling over her shoulders, gave no respond, but whispered into Luo Ying’s ear. Luo Ying rubbed her arms with both hands, as if shivering from a chill.
"She said, you better never anger Black Egg, because you won’t be able to afford the consequences." Luo Ying hesitated briefly, and whispered to Han.
