Unknown parasitism × Clever words

If you have nothing to say, then I can only apologize.

Kevin looked at the other person and said calmly.

Perhaps they could lock the other party up here, but Kevin couldn't gamble on it. He was now basically certain that the other party was either Knight life form with strong parasitic abilities or Lord with some kind of parasitic power.

Facing such an opponent, Kevin couldn't afford to be careless. As Lord himself, he knew all too well how unpredictable and difficult to defend against Lord's abilities could be once they became unpredictable.

Confining him to the Four-Dimensional Apartment might affect Nobu, given Nobu current strength, which hasn't yet surpassed human limits, and even if it did, there would still be risks.

Just like Kevin, it hasn't been long since he became Lord, less than ten years at most, but his strength, unpredictability, and all-around abilities have improved by countless levels.

Judging from the other party's monstrous appearance and audacity, he is definitely not some newly minted, ignorant Lord. To solve the problem once and for all, we have no choice but to eliminate him first.

"Don't get so agitated, friend. I didn't do anything to this body; I was simply possessing her. After all, she's still your kin."

Before Kevin could say anything, she added, "Of course I know that Sacrifice this member of our race is worthwhile compared to the threat I pose to you. I'm just stating the facts."

I have no ill intentions.

No malicious intent yet? Does that mean there might be?

Kevin remained noncommittal, simply waving his hand and coldly stating, "To infiltrate another's tribe using such methods, I don't believe you have any good intentions."

Even if he meant no harm, he's still a nasty guy.

Nana'an smiled, but uttered cold-blooded words. "Then you can only blame yourselves for being too weak, can't you? You humans should be able to understand, right? Isn't there a saying that weakness is the original sin?"

"Within your own tribe, powerful groups also use such methods against weaker groups, so you don't need to be so angry."

Having taken over Nana'an's body, the other party was extremely knowledgeable about the human race, and Kevin could conclude that this kind of race that took over other people's bodies was definitely a repeat offender.

Just like the Dragon Turtle, even if it learns about humans through its own means and even learns human language, it will still maintain the rationality and attitude of its own species, so it will be puzzled and confused by some of the behaviors and actions of humans.

We are not of the same race, and our basic survival concepts are fundamentally different, so naturally our thoughts and judgments about things are completely different.

Just like the Dragon Turtle completely cannot understand the infighting among humans, it's an incredibly stupid thing to do, and it's simply incomprehensible.

Such a thing is fundamentally impossible for them. Although they have individual differences, they are more collective. Humanity is an intertwining of the individual and the collective, and the two will always be superior to each other.

These can be easily discerned during conversation.

But Nana'an in front of him was different. He easily learned about human society through Nana'an's memories and easily understood human thoughts and attitudes, just like demi -Demi-human, those Demonic Beasts that are extremely similar to human society.

Are you implying that I'm being provoked?

Kevin frowned and asked.

"Don't be so sensitive, let's talk more. The reason I was discovered this time was entirely because I didn't understand humans, so I revealed a slight flaw in the short time I was taking over the body, and you were too vigilant."

"Knowing this, I believe that the next time I possess a human corpse, I will not reveal any flaws, and you will not be able to detect me."

"Why talk to me about something so uncertain now, when the future is already set in stone? Don't get too worked up. Anyway, there's nothing I can do to you right now, is there?"

"As long as you exist, humanity will always rise again, so what is there to worry about?"

Nana'an even started to think from Kevin's perspective, offering reasonable and logical inferences.

Despite Kevin's undisguised hostility and the circles that filled the entire space, Nana'an still smiled.

Kevin has also gained something; there are likely two possibilities regarding Nana'an's parasitic mode.

One possibility is that the other party directly parasitizes Nana'an's body, using itself as the main entity, and manipulates her. Therefore, the hidden ruler is located within Nana'an's body.

Another possibility is that he used Clone and then merged into Nana'an's body, as if he were controlling one of countless bodies. Of course, this possibility is probably smaller overall.

"So, you still haven't explained why. When you invaded Nana'an's body and possessed her memories, you should have understood that I am a recognized Lord here."

"If you were just curious before and didn't know, that excuse won't work now. So what makes you still want to stay in the body of one of my kind? And why are you still provoking me in front of us?"

As Kevin spoke, his voice grew deeper and deeper, and his aura permeated the surrounding environment, turning the circle that had been spreading around him into a dark and gloomy atmosphere.

That was the power of Resentment. This power of Resentment, along with Kevin's dissatisfaction and emotions, stimulated the other party, causing considerable stimulation to both the physical body and the spiritual body.

"Don't get agitated, friend."

Nana'an An smiled and said, "I haven't been in this area long and I don't know much about it. I'm very interested in groups that possess advanced intelligence and have given rise to civilizations."

"Entering the bodies of these groups, hiding and experiencing them, and understanding the corresponding civilizations and ethnic groups is one of my major hobbies."

"So you should also understand that when I entered this body, I learned about humanity, and naturally, I also learned about you. There are so many humans, and I only learned the specifics after entering this body, so I did not intend to offend you."

"But when I entered, I learned more, so the outcome was already decided. I didn't harbor much ill will; I simply wanted to experience and learn more about different civilizations within this body."

She said it with a rather sincere attitude.

"When I first arrived in this area, I encountered very few civilized groups, let alone people like humans."

As she spoke, she looked at Kevin with a wistful smile, "It's like you humans have just left the embrace of your safe home and entered the real world."

"Under the influence of what you call the Undying disease, you are well aware of how rare it is for a race to give birth to a flourishing civilization."

After saying that, she stood up and opened her arms. "Like the so-called territory of the Sky Overlord here, how many territories do you think there are? I can tell you the truth, not many, at least not many in the places I've been to."

"Outside this territory, the Dark Continent is purely a hunting ground. There is no such thing as peace, no such thing as Lord. Everyone kills and hunts each other, solely to strengthen themselves."

As she spoke, she pointed to herself and then to Kevin: "How rare are life forms as advanced and civilized as humans? I have never seen one before."

"And the other Sapient Life in this territory are few in number and rather uninteresting, so it's all just a misunderstanding."

After she finished speaking, she sat down again and quietly looked at Kevin.

Kevin simply watched her, deep in thought, while Nana'an remained calm and quietly stayed where she was.

That's well said, and it makes perfect sense. After all, the other party is a Lord. If he sees humans in the wild and acts out of curiosity, there's nothing wrong with him attacking them directly.

This is the Dark Continent, where Lord are essentially at the top of the universal food chain, and in most cases, they are hunters. What good is it if weak humans are targeted and attacked?

After taking action, some minor issues were discovered, but they were insignificant. Everyone involved was Lord, and casualties were inevitable when clansmen were out on campaign. Encountering Lord and being forced into combat was a possible outcome.

The other being was a creature curious about intelligent races, so it parasitized Nana'an's body and returned to the Small Town, only to be discovered.

Would Kevin really fight to the death because of this situation?

He'll be busy from now on, since there are quite a few Lord on the Dark Continent, and there will always be encounters when exploring outwards, resulting in numerous casualties.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but I won't listen."

As Kevin spoke, he opened his hand, and the scale barrier immediately formed a ball, trapping Nana'an inside.

Do you think you can trap me like this?

Nana'an asked with amusement, reaching out to touch the scale barrier with an air of confidence. "Even if you crush this body into dust, it won't affect me. After all, I am what you call Spiritual Lifeform; the body is just clothing to me."

She spoke of herself as if she were a creature dressed in clothes.

As she spoke, a vial flew out and pierced her body. The vial entered her body, and Nana'an's entire body immediately became completely powerless, collapsing into the sphere like a limp noodle.

Since we can control this body, we can simply render it powerless.

This is an A-Rank ordinary medicine. Its effects are entirely targeted at humans. It is a harmless medicine designed specifically for our own people, and its effects are very simple.

Once it hits, anything human or with a human body will be severely affected, becoming completely powerless during the duration of the drug's effects.

This powerlessness doesn't mean you're not human, but rather that your spiritual body is unaffected.

Through experiments on Slash Ghost and the others, Kevin has confirmed that even when they are injected with the drug while wearing human bodies, they still lose all control over their human bodies.

Or rather, they can still control their bodies, but those bodies no longer have that power; it's purely a forced control over flesh and blood.

The other person just lay there, unable to even blink, his mouth slightly open but unable to speak, as if he were completely mentally impaired, with saliva dripping down his face.

"What a boring guy. Is there something wrong with what I said?"

The mental fluctuations were transmitted, and this time the one who spoke was naturally the other party's true form, the one hidden inside Nana'an's body.

"As expected, you were the original who infiltrated."

Mental Image appeared directly behind Kevin and threw a punch without hesitation. It wasn't a punch of physical strength, but a punch of spirit, designed to impact the mind. There was no technique involved; it was pure brute force that sent the brick flying.

The force blasted out and crashed into the invisible mental barrier. The resulting mental shockwaves began to spread, but were absorbed by the energy permeating the room, preventing any impact on the surrounding area.

"Are you such a reckless and rude person? It seems this body has a very positive impression of you."

The unknown parasite was still talking, but Kevin ignored it and focused his Mental Image on it, pressing his palms down towards the center with a powerful force. A misty ribbon floated out from Nana'an's body.

"Until we meet again, Kevin. I'm quite interested in you guys."

After saying this, he flicked his ribbon and prepared to leave, clearly indicating that this place could not hold him back at all.

"Receive!"

Kevin acted decisively. The Medicine Tripod was already open and aimed at the opponent. An invisible pulling force instantly trapped the opponent, pulling him directly into the Medicine Tripod.

The other upper arm of the Mental Image slammed the lid down, followed by all four hands pressing down on it.

At this moment, the Mental Image and posture have completely changed. The body is sitting cross-legged, with the Medicine Tripod in the middle of the knees. The remaining four arms completely cover the Medicine Tripod from four angles. Even so, the entire Medicine Tripod is still swaying from side to side.

"What utter nonsense! A mouthful of lies. I don't know if this is just their nature, or if they instantly learned to lie after entering a human body."

Everything the other person just said was a complete lie. Although they didn't show any malice, Kevin didn't believe their goodwill at all.

His Nen ability had already sensed everything.

"Although I had long expected this day to come, I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Kevin watched this scene with a sense of helplessness. At this moment, the Nen Aura on his body had almost formed a pillar, continuously being sent into the Medicine Tripod constructed from his Mental Image.

After closing my eyes and carefully sensing it, I felt even more helpless.

"We also caught a big one."

He opened his eyes and shook his head. "No wonder they were so confident; their strength was undeniable. But they still managed to slip up unexpectedly."

He felt both helpless and secretly pleased. This time, he had really caught a big one. This Spiritual Lifeform was extremely strong, almost on par with the Sand Worm from before.

Kevin has seen quite a few Lord Level powerhouses, but he still mentally categorizes Lord strength.

Without a doubt, the strongest is still Lord Resentful Eater Snake, and of course, his neighbor.

Next are the Devouring Sand Worm, then Leckka, and then the rest are basically the Lord we saw in the Arena before, including the Cat.

The Double-tailed Snake, due to its age, is probably older than these other life forms.

At the end are the Beetle and Lord Gelan.

The Dragon Turtle was ranked ahead of the two of them.

Lord Gelan was probably the weakest one he had ever seen.

Kevin felt that he might not be able to defeat Lord Gelan at his Lord Rank, but he should be able to do so at a certain cost.

Of course, this is without using any special methods, just a simple comparison of magnitude, but it is still a certain means of evaluation, which is enough to show the strength of the Lord he just encountered.

"This is troublesome. Such a huge thing; I wonder how long it will take to completely refine it."
