As the first demon seed detonated, every demon seed hidden within the energy circuits exploded along with it.
Amid a violent hum, the demon seeds abruptly shifted from intangible and formless into blood-red droplets. They flowed through the energy circuits, and wherever they passed, all energy underwent transformation. The once orderly energy circuits began to twist out of shape.
Under the demon seeds' effects, Slime felt as if a huge chunk of his body had suddenly vanished—and those missing parts had turned into weapons that were attacking him.
"What is this?!"
Slime's emotions instantly flared into boundless fury.
In an instant, the entire laboratory—even the entire labyrinth—trembled beneath that rage.
Inconceivable power was mobilized at his whim as Slime tried to drown the demon seeds beneath a flood of energy.
But unfortunately, demon seeds were not so easy to deal with.
After the tidal surge of energy washed through them, the original demon seeds vanished. Yet even tinier seeds spread throughout every corner of the energy circuits along with the energy tide.
Slime's countermeasure had instead become the path by which the demon seeds spread.
At the same time, Richard sensed the vibrations in space.
"Such rough workmanship?"
Richard snarked. Without question, those abnormal tremors meant Lion-head Moke's methods had been discovered.
Lion-head Moke had been forced into action, so Richard naturally could not simply stand by and watch.
With a thought, the Silk Puppet Techniques hidden within the energy circuits instantly unfurled.
In an instant, Puppet Silk as fine as silkworm threads spread continuously along the energy pathways. Everywhere it passed, all energy was redirected into the Puppet Silk, while every node was controlled by plugs woven from it.
In Slime's perception, the Silk Puppet Technique was even more terrifying than the demon seeds.
The demon seeds at least
