Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 918: Perfect plan

The Death King Tree suddenly laughed.

This laugh reduced the fear in its heart by a little.

“You used this… En in human words, trick, right, you have already tricked me once, and you are using it again. You aren’t very smart.”

This female face relaxed. In just a short time, it returned to normal.

It understood that if Ye Zhongming really had a way to kill it, he would have already attacked. He wouldn’t have waited or even talked so much to it.

This human didn’t attack, which meant that even if he had a method, it couldn’t be used easily.

Since that was the case, it didn’t have to fear. At most, it could just run away. Anyway, it wasn’t the first time.

Mutated lifeforms were more willing to run away than humans.

Ye Zhongming shook his head. “You know how we agreed previously. The moment the contract ended, we knew what went on. You didn’t come to Cloud Peak after such a long time but only came now. This is fate.”

Based on their agreement, the Death King Tree should have come to Cloud Peak to get the life brain. After all, it was the show of its strongest ability. But it didn’t come. Ye Zhongming didn’t know the reason. Maybe it didn’t trust humans or because its strength had recovered quickly. Anyway, it used a secret technique to remove the contract.

Ye Zhongming, the other person who signed the contract, sensed it, but he didn’t care much about it. After all, if the Death King Tree didn’t cancel it, he would. Neither side wanted to be controlled.

Now that the Death King Tree was here, Ye Zhongming knew it didn’t have kind intentions. It wanted to force him here and after consuming him, it would head to Cloud Peak to feast. It would accumulate the energy needed for level nine and then replace the life brain.

It didn’t attack because it feared Ye Zhongming’s bone staff.

Fate was just a figure of speech. Ye Zhongming continued, “Don’t suspect that I am delaying time. When you lost in Linhai, what did you choose? Aren’t you still standing before me? So, the method you use today will be useless if I become vicious. I didn’t leave because I want to work together.”

Death King Tree was slightly unhappy, but its expression quickly turned back to normal.

Death King Tree knew what Ye Zhongming meant. It used the example of the Death King Tree’s defeat to describe himself, showing that he could also give up some things, like his men and base. The reason he was still here was a show of sincerity.

“Last time I said I could help you get a human body, you didn’t believe me. Now, I can tell you some things, and you will know that I didn’t lie to you.”

The Death King Tree was slightly interested, “What do you want to tell me?”

Ye Zhongming smiled, “Two points.”

“Firstly, our research on the life brain have had a breakthrough.”

The Death King Tree was slightly stunned and then gave a sharp scream. Its entire body trembled, and killing intent covered Ye Zhongming’s body.

Ye Zhongming lit the fifth mark.

This caused the Death King Tree, which was about to explode, to calm down a bit.

The Life Brain was more important than Ye Zhongming imagined. Ye Zhongming thought it was something good, which is why he fought for it. But he realized it couldn’t be placed in his space and also didn’t know how to use it.

After returning it to Cloud Peak, he passed it to Liu Zhenghong to study.

Liu Zhenghong’s main work was this. The other experiments were left to her subordinates.

The little snake's heads were sliced during the Flame Tiger Operation announcement for a reason. Did you really think she sliced the other heads randomly?

As a scientist, that was not possible.

She used them to experiment with the Life Brain. The other heads failed, and only one succeeded.

Xia Bai mentioned that this was the gene lab’s second-stage experiment. What was the second stage? The experiment with the living brain as the main target was Cloud Peak’s biggest secret now.

Ye Zhongming didn’t lie. Liu Zhenghong made huge progress on the research. Although it wasn’t groundbreaking, she grasped the stats of the Life Brain and studied how to use it.

If you wanted to study it, you would naturally damage parts of it. Death King Tree knew that which is why it was so angry.

Ye Zhongming waved his finger, “Don’t be emotional. You think that you are offended, but to me, this will only benefit you. Ye Zhongming took out something from his space. It was a flower pot, and in it was a lonely sprout.”

This wasn’t special, but the moment he took it out, the aura of the Death King Tree disappeared. He walked a few steps forward and stared at the sprout.

It sensed a familiarity from it as if it was a clone of itself.

“This is a Roselle Cedar nurtured from your seed. We added the life brain’s gene into this. Do you see its difference?”

It was as if the Death King Tree didn’t hear anything. It just looked on; its beautiful female face had a complicated expression.

Of course, it felt different. Apart from the feeling of being connected by blood, it saw a crystal on that finger-sized sprout.

Right, a demon crystal that was very small. If one didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t even think it was a crystal.

The Death King Tree knew what that meant.

The Death King Tree's real reason for wanting the Life Brain was something only it knew.

When it sensed that power between heaven and earth for the first time, it started to think of a way to break apart those rules when it got to level nine.

The idea it got was the Life Brain!

Right, this thing was to be used when it got to level nine! This was the reason why it regretted working today. The human body, contract, his relationship with Ye Zhongming, and the life brain helping it become human—all of those were to cover the life brain!

The Life Brain was taken, and while it couldn’t ensure that the human didn’t damage it, it had to be careful when it did things.

Its behavior was based on this.

The reason why the Death King Tree didn’t hide to recover and continued to follow Ye Zhongming was so that it could get the Life Brain back.
