I Multiplied Its Ingrown Nail by Ten

It was only a hand.

Yet it radiated divine might as vast as the sea.

With Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu's current strength,

they were no match for it.

More importantly,

a power much like the Ten Directions Divine Gods Formation

clung to the hand,

only fiercer and more domineering.

Excitement gleamed in Jiang Fu's eyes.

As his words, "Multiply by Ten," rang out,

the God Emperor's Hand gave a violent shudder in midair.

Then

it began to twist and spasm,

tumbling over and over.

Shi Jiu stared, then grew worried.

She sent him a voice transmission. "What did you multiply by ten?"

"Won't whoever's behind it notice?"

Something was clearly controlling the God Emperor's Hand.

Whoever it was had not appeared,

but they could very likely sense everything happening here through the hand.

Jiang Fu smiled. "It's fine. They won't notice anything amiss."

"I saw that this hand had an ingrown nail."

Shi Jiu's eyes widened. "What?"

Jiang Fu said, "I multiplied its ingrown nail by ten."

Shi Jiu said, "..."

Could a God Emperor's hand even get an ingrown nail?

Wasn't it a dead hand?

Still,

judging by the way it tumbled and spasmed in midair,

it certainly seemed to be in pain.

Jiang Fu rubbed Shi Jiu's head. "And it's not just the ingrown nail. The God Emperor's Hand has other injuries..."

"I multiplied all its injuries and pain by ten."

The God Emperor's Hand

had clearly been severed

in some earth-shaking battle.

Though the hand remained whole and undamaged,

it must have suffered serious injuries.

A dead thing

could not heal itself.

But what Jiang Fu had not expected

was that this thing could feel pain!

Was it a living hand?

Or had a dead hand developed a mind of its own

and become something else
