Devouring Ability
It now seems that the Main God is the real schemer. He designed this mission world, which resembles a gladiatorial arena, to pit two teams against each other in a team battle. The one who survives will be the one with the strongest overall abilities. Afterward, he will continue to use the same method to select suitable people until an S9-level powerhouse appears.
I am nothing more than a rather ferocious fighting dog in the hands of the Main God!
However, to survive, one must accept this identity, become more ferocious, and become the most formidable fighting dog.
Li Wei shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind. He should focus on the mission now. Although the biggest problem had been solved, the mission was not over yet, and he absolutely could not let his guard down until the very last moment.
Only two A3-level reincarnators remained, and as Li Wei's enemies, they were clearly in deep trouble.
Even with their A3-level combat strength, they were powerless to resist once Li Wei had figured out everything about them.
One died in an attack by the monster and three Old Ghost, while the last one was much luckier. After being injured, he encountered Li Wei's group of reincarnators on his escape route. They were A3 level fighters, and even when injured, they were not someone that only B-level reincarnators could handle. Fortunately, after being reminded by 'someone,' the reincarnator who possessed the 'Redeemer' card decisively used it.
After being forcibly teleported out of the mission world, not a single Blue Blood Star Reincarnator remained, and the victors naturally belonged to the Earth Star Reincarnators.
Li Wei had lost interest in killing the last Blue Blood Star Reincarnator; he simply wanted to complete the mission quickly and obtain the crucial 'Superior Darksteel'.
A flash of white light, and Li Wei was teleported back to Shadow Street.
"Mission complete. Reward: 420,000 points and 2 pieces of Superior Darksteel!"
I finally got it!
Li Wei didn't even glance at the points; he simply took out the Superior Darksteel. Instantly, two heavy, crystal-clear green iron stones appeared in Li Wei's hands.
"Is this the Superior Darksteel?" Li Wei stroked the two iron stones, his heart pounding with excitement. Now he had gathered all the materials needed to learn the Destroyer's unique skill, 'Devour'.
A perfect A-grade mission medal, any A-grade Skill Book, and these two pieces of Superior Darksteel. Li Wei shook his head, suppressing his excitement. He first put away the Superior Darksteel, then opened the passage and returned to Three Heroes City. Afterwards, Li Wei locked himself in a small room and began learning the 'Devour' skill.
Under the influence of the Black Paper, the three items began to fuse, almost like a synthesis. This process lasted for a whole day, until the three items transformed into a single green, **-like object, at which point the Black Paper indicated that the fusion was complete.
"Preparations are complete. Continuing to learn the Devouring skill will randomly replace Destroyer organs. Continue?" The prompt on the Black Paper startled Li Wei.
Organ replacement?
The description of the Devouring ability on the Black Paper also included a new line of small print. "To obtain this powerful ability, you will need to pay a price!"
Li Wei hesitated. The so-called organ replacement might mean removing a part of his body and replacing it with something else.
Recalling Lan Lin, the person used their mouth to unleash their devouring ability. Could it be that when they learned the devouring ability, their mouth was the organ they replaced?
This possibility is very high, so should we continue?
He had put in a lot of effort to learn the Devouring ability, and according to the Main God, it could be of great help in breaking through to S-rank as soon as possible. Moreover, other Destroyer had all mastered this skill, so Li Wei couldn't give up at this time.
With this in mind, Li Wei steeled his resolve and agreed.
Instantly, the green object in the air began to rapidly circle Li Wei, its speed increasing until it became nothing more than a green afterimage. Li Wei, feeling somewhat uneasy, waited to see which of his organs the green object would choose.
Suddenly, the green gun stopped in front of Li Wei and slowly approached, its target being Li Wei's right eye.
"Is it the eyes?" Li Wei's heart sank. He thought to himself, "Why did I have to choose the eyes? They're the most important organ in my body."
However, the green thing completely ignored Li Wei's feelings and directly enveloped Li Wei's right eye, and then a sharp pain came from Li Wei's right eye.
Time flew by, and for an hour, Li Wei endured excruciating pain. His right eye was completely blind, and the green blood had seeped into his eye socket. Li Wei was already lying on the ground, tormented by the hour-long agony, his body as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his clothes completely soaked with sweat.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Wei finally came to his senses from this dazed state, only to find that the pain in his right eye had stopped, and most miraculously, his vision had not been damaged.
How so?
Li Wei quickly found a mirror and looked at himself. He looked the same as usual, and there was nothing unusual about his right eye. If he had to point out a difference, it would be that his right eye seemed more eerie than usual.
Li Wei, unsure whether he had successfully mastered the Devouring ability, could only test the result by actually using it. To devour, he needed to find a target, and what Li Wei found was a long sword hanging in the room.
In the New World, traditional firearms have gradually faded from view, since the technology and machines for their production are almost nonexistent in the real world, unless they are obtained from mission worlds.
Cold weapons once again became the main weapons in people's hands, so almost every household and every house had cold weapons.
The sword Li Wei chose had no scabbard. It was three feet seven inches long, made entirely of fine steel, and extremely heavy. After taking the sword, Li Wei placed it on the ground, then stepped back three meters away and released the ability according to the requirements for using the Devouring Ability.
In an instant, Li Wei's right eye emitted an eerie green light, followed by the appearance of numerous black threads within his pupil, and a powerful suction force was released.
Under this suction force, the metal longsword floated up and began to decompose rapidly, turning into fine metal shavings, which were then pulled into Li Wei's right eye as if being sucked into a toilet bowl.
The devouring is over!
Li Wei's right eye returned to normal, but Li Wei could feel a tiny bit more energy in his body. That energy transformed into true qi and mixed into his body. Although it was only a negligible amount of energy, it was still incredibly good news for Li Wei.
This means that he has truly mastered the ability to devour.
Stepping out of the small house, Li Wei felt refreshed, and the world beneath his right eye seemed different from usual.
In fact, things have really changed.
Li Wei made a bizarre discovery: his right eye could act like a telescope, allowing him to see objects a kilometer away at will.
Looking up, Li Wei saw the Destroyer's City floating in the air, and on the castle wall stood a beautiful figure.
"Yu Tong!" Li Wei was taken aback.
It was already late at night, what was she doing there?
Li Wei suddenly realized that this time when he came back, he had only given her a brief greeting before starting to study the Devouring Ability, and hadn't spoken to her all day. Perhaps she already harbored resentment towards him.
He quickly took out a flight card, Li Wei took to the air, flying towards the Destroyer's City.
Zheng Yutong clearly noticed Li Wei as well. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but then, as if remembering something, she stamped her foot and turned her head to the side, pretending not to see him.
Seeing this, Li Wei knew he had guessed correctly.
Never neglect a woman, especially one who deeply loves you.
Li Wei slowly approached and tried to strike up a conversation, but Zheng Yutong seemed determined to ignore Li Wei, clearly still sulking.
"What's wrong? Yu Tong, did someone bully you? Tell me who it was, and I'll beat them to a pulp!" Li Wei wasn't originally good at coaxing girls, but after talking to that guy An Hei a lot, he learned quite a few techniques.
For example, right now, the other person is sulking. If you try to please them all the time, it will only backfire. But if you take a different approach and try a different method, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Sure enough, upon hearing Li Wei's words, Zheng Yutong snorted and said defiantly, "Someone did bully me, but I wouldn't dare to cause them any trouble. Now, they're stronger than me, and they have more and more beautiful girls around them. What am I to them?"
After saying this, her eyes welled up with tears, a stark contrast to her usual cold demeanor.
Li Wei gave a wry smile, quickly stepped forward, and supported the other man's shoulder. "Tell me, which bastard is this? I'll break his bones!"
Knowing full well it was him, yet insisting on saying it, Li Wei could only secretly pray that the An Hei Professor's method would work.
Seeing Li Wei's serious expression, Zheng Yutong coldly snorted and said, "That bastard is you!"
Hearing Zheng Yutong say those words, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. In this situation, all he needed to do was torture himself a little to turn hostility into friendship and make the beautiful woman happy.
So, Li Wei punched himself hard, but Zheng Yutong stopped him before he could throw a second punch. Looking at her slightly distressed and reproachful eyes, Li Wei secretly thought how clever she was.
Indeed, the art of pleasing girls is quite profound. If I hadn't occasionally discussed this topic with An Hei before, I really wouldn't have known how to do it today.
After the minor conflict was resolved, Li Wei put his arm around Zheng Yutong and sat on the Destroyer's City, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky. For a moment, they both felt that it would be wonderful if time could just stop there.
Feeling the gentle breeze, Li Wei held Zheng Yutong even tighter.
"Li Wei, do you think I might die on the mission?" Zheng Yutong asked suddenly, making Li Wei's heart tighten.
