Chapter 259 — The Timeless Ginseng Baby

Originally, when the Prophecy Owl first saw that vision, it thought Ginseng Baby's fate was absurdly tragic. But now, it suddenly felt that if the prophecy was true, the ones who were truly tragic were those Totems.

You idiots ate a nuclear bomb baby!

A nuclear bomb baby that revives!

With Moonblast and Time Imprint, it suspected Shi Yan's Ginseng Baby was baiting them into enforcement—hunting Totems!

Ginseng Baby: Ran out of steam. Time to destroy everything!

"It's not that simple..."

Seeing the four of them staring blankly, already imagining the possibilities, Shi Jin quickly waved his hand and said with a bitter smile, "Right now, only one Time Imprint can exist inside Ginseng Baby at a time. And after using one, Ginseng Baby has to pour in all its energy and spend a very long stretch of time-energy to condense the next one. The limitations are huge."

"Although I don't know what will change once the skill proficiency gets higher, for now, every time it self-destructs, it still gets badly hurt. I estimate the cooldown will take a few months of time-energy."

"Eek!!" Ginseng Baby declared it was no big deal, no big deal at all.

This skill had boundless promise for the future. Once it trained up Overlord Will and had Shi Jin max out the skill, then—if multiple Time Imprints could exist inside its body—it wouldn't be far from infinite self-destruction.

At that point, Donghuang's mechanical army wouldn't even need to crusade against the Meteorite Moose. The Immortal Ginseng would volunteer for battle.

First, eat a time-energy fruit to enter its strongest state, then use Moonblast to self-destruct, then revive!

This wave was invincible!

Its Ginseng Emperor could absolutely dominate all of eternity and casually suppress the Meteorite Moose demigod.

"This..."

After Shi Jin finished speaking, the old principal of Imperial Capital University and Chairman Ye did not think these limitations were significant at all. Damn it, once Ginseng Baby grew to Overlord-tier, Shi Jin would effectively have a renewable forbidden weapon—this was... this was defying the heavens!!!

The two exchanged glances; the Prophecy Owl and the Gem Cat also exchanged glances. No wonder Shi Jin called it the Immortal Ginseng; no wonder Shi Jin said it was a quasi-mythical species. This strength, this potential...

"Anyway, you are forbidden from using this move at Imperial Capital University." The old principal's eyelid twitched.

Suddenly, she felt a bit worried about Imperial Capital University's upcoming national tournament.

Once Ginseng Baby broke through to Monarch-tier, could Gao Xuan's Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast withstand a self-destruction?

Absolutely not, all right?

Even after Gao Xuan and the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast merged into piloting state, their energy value still hadn't broken ten million.

But a Monarch-tier Ginseng Baby's self-destruction would definitely exceed ten million in energy value.

"And this move—don't use it in ordinary battles, all right? It really will kill beast companions..."

Not Ginseng Baby dying—the opponent dying.

"How could I, how could I..." Shi Jin scratched his head and laughed heartily. Of course not, of course not—there was no way he'd use it casually.

Hearing this, Eleven, Buggy, and Crimson Eye also breathed a sigh of relief.

It'd be best to ban it in the intra-team tournament too!

Although Ginseng Baby could only use it once per segment, Eleven and Buggy and the others absolutely did not dare gamble on whether they'd be the one.

It would kill teammates!

Recommendation: ban this forbidden move!

At that moment, Chairman Ye watched Shi Jin in silence.

This kid... in such a short span of time-energy, had already grown to this level?

"How many Overlord-species beasts do you have now?" Ye Hui could not help asking.

"Four... I think." Shi Jin glanced at the four little ones and said, "After we get to Tingxue City, maybe five."

"Didn't Lord Owl predict that I'd contract a Totem in Shenyuan City? Now I believe the old fellow's prophecies more and more." Shi Jin gazed at the Owl with reverence.

Everyone: ...

The Owl: ...

Little Crimson Eye's sword being unable to kill the Nether Phoenix now felt accurate—after all, that place really did have some connection to the Crimson Eye bloodline. The prediction about the Eleventh fighting a Demon God was probably accurate too; that Demon God was Yungan. And now, even the prophecy that Ginseng Baby would be hunted down and eaten by a pack of Totems no longer seemed so hard to understand. Shi Jin had even genuinely begun toying with the idea of going fishing for lawbreakers in the future...

Seen this way, the trip to Shenyuan City might really let him contract a Totem?

Anything that could reach Totem-tier would surely be of Overlord species as well.

Of course, Shi Jin did not expect the other party to actually be a water-element Totem. Given a Totem-tier growth rank, his current strength definitely would not be enough to contract one—but what if it was a reincarnated Totem, like Chongxuan?

It was also possible that what the Owl had foreseen was that his fifth beast, after growing up, would possess Totem-tier strength—

Still, water-element was surely a safe bet. After all, Shi Jin's first choice right now was water-element, elemental-type creatures.
