The Devil’s Evolution Catalog - Chapter 758

Chapter 758: Epilogue (4)

Having finished putting on the robes for Karlston, the wraith, Verni sank to one knee, lowering her beautiful but ethereal head. Congratulations on completing your seclusion, master.

Karlston nodded his head in satisfaction at the wraiths subservience. What is the situation outside? He asked casually.

A number of mutated humans have begun appearing, armed with a variety of strange powers. The strongest amongst them have even managed to slay a skeletal coatl. Verni recounted some of the events of Southern Plains in a nonchalant manner. If the Master wishes, I will personally capture her and offer up her soul to you, master.

Even though Karlston was nothing but bones, Verni could still pick up the slight trace of interest her master expressed when she mentioned that human. His eye flames flickered. Do it, but I want her alive. She has caught my attention. Not just her, I want all the mutated humans brought to me, I plan on doing some research.

Understood, master.

Verni answered before immediately leaving the underground room. Karlston whipped around, and with a wave of his hands, summoned forth a bony throne, right out of the pool of blood.

Seated atop his throne, bony hands tapping on an equally bony armrest, he seemed to ponder in silence, or perhaps he was merely killing time. Survivors of a worlds distortion how amusing click click click

In his current state, Karlston was merely at the peak of the Overlord realm. As for why he hadnt returned to his former realm, yet, that was because a demigod wasnt just a state of power. It was an evolution of life itself. For an undead, they had to strengthen their being.

A demigod was, in the crudest of definitions, a divinity that hadnt obtained the authority of a god, but still possessed the body of one. The most basic requirement for such a body was to be immortal.

Technically, demigods werent actually immortal, but they had no issue living for thousands of years. For an undead like Karlston, his bony body was severely lacking in fortitude.

The base of his current body was a former human researcher. Naturally, such an ordinary body did not possess the potential to ascend to godhood. In order to truly return to his former glory, Karlston still had a long way to go.

In order to regain his power in the shortest time possible, Karlstons first command was for Verni to capture those mutated humans. They were the fortunate souls who had survived the distortion of the worlds laws. Blessed with superhuman strength, they were the perfect nutrients for his body!

The ghostly secretary still hadnt recovered from the damage of the first wad when the next two came slamming into her as well

Ahhhh The lady wailed horrifically, as if she was undergoing the cruelest of tortures. For a ghost, being bathed in holy light was the equivalent of using medieval Manchurian torture techniques on a human.

Whats Manchurian, anyway?

I quickly shook my head free of that strange term, only to find that the ghostly secretary was already rolling on the ground helplessly, bound together by a bunch of talismans.

Man thats at least 1000 points stuck on her right now. A consumable at that price range has to be scary, especially when its made to counter you.

The ghostly secretary desperately tried to shake off the talismans on her but she failed, and that was the end of her

In a mere dozen seconds, she had turned to ethereal dust in the air. All she had accomplished was to utter the words, Come with me, my master wishes to see you.

I almost feel sorry for this boss. How should I put this her death feels almost empty.

I got 1000 points from that, what about you? Bitong said as she blinked her eyes in surprise.

1000, Lixiang replied.

Qiaoqiao got 1000 as well. I think shes a boss, lets find more of her in the future.

Looking at her reveling in the I-struck-it-rich mood, I suddenly felt the need to remind them of one thing: overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
