"Yellow skin? If it's related to skin, then it's basically connected to the Abyssal Skin Field."
The Duke raised his arm and pointed toward the black sun pierced by the giant sword as he continued:
"The Old World has been completely sealed off. It's impossible for new diseases to emerge outside the Source Plague Zone... But that doesn't rule out entirely new diseases developing in your world. Your friend here, for example, is a perfect representative."
Yi Chen provided more detailed information:
"On my way to the Old World, I was attacked by a strange diseased creature near the passage. The Yellow Robe it spawned enslaved the disease aggregate known as Gathered Eye Syndrome, forming a temporary whole.
"After we killed the eyeballs, the Yellow Robe immediately separated on its own and showed an interest in me.
"Later, my teammates and I joined forces to drive it back, but we failed to destroy it completely... Oh, right. I still have a piece of the Yellow cloth that I cut off."
When Yi Chen took out the sealed envelope woven from Gentleman's Skin, the Duke looked puzzled. "Hm? It actually needs skin to be sealed? In other words, the two aren't completely of the same origin... Let me see what it is."
The moment the envelope was opened,
the Yellow cloth inside suddenly unraveled into over a hundred fine threads. They were charged with energy like compressed springs and shot toward different directions at once.
If Yi Chen had opened it, the thing would certainly have escaped.
However,
no matter how fast the threads shot out, no matter how numerous they were, and no matter how tricky their angles, they were always moving through a vast ocean made of fat.
To anyone else, they had never even left the Duke's palm.
