Chapter 541 — Su Su and Ya Ya's Epic Enhancement
The Beast-Taming Craftsman Page 3 of 5
Among them, two quasi-god skills had been fused once again from the former quasi-god skill Spirit of the Purifying Sea and the premium super-tier skill Origin Fluctuation, which had been produced through multiple fusions.
The Inheritance Droplet had been self-developed by Susu by combining the Memory Droplet with the World Tree Fruit—much like Ginseng Baby's Reincarnation Fruit, both were her own creations, and it patched several shortcomings of the Memory Droplet, such as the flaw that inputting memories caused the user to lose their own.
The power of this Inheritance Droplet was undoubtedly greater still. If developed into a divine skill, it could become a vessel of rules, and then Shi Jin could use it together with the World Tree Fruit to make money as a divine skill instructor.
As for the Heavenly Frost Qi, it had originally been a taught skill; only after Susu reached the totem tier and gained the ability to self-optimize her race did she, with the World Tree Fruit's assistance, optimize it into a racial skill.
Unfortunately, Infinite Devouring—the skill with the best cost-performance ratio—had still not been successfully optimized by Susu. Shi Jin judged that Infinite Devouring was likely a legacy skill left on Blue Star by the Starry Sky Zerg.
It was precisely because the Starry Sky Zerg possessed such an aberrant skill that they had been able to rampage across the starry sky.
Seen in this light, Overlord Sea Legend was instead a child of destiny. Once the mythic revival came and Blue Star had abundant resources, he might well become one of the strongest among the Donghuang Legendary—even Mythic—Beast Tamers.
"Next, it's time to strengthen Ya Ya." Shi Li: "While we're at it, we can also let Ya Ya try whether it can completely master the Eye of the Evil God."
With Susu's strengthening now complete, Shi Jin felt that strengthening Ya Ya to his heart's content would pose no problem. Even if they fused the super-god-tier resource, the Eye of the Evil God, into Ya Ya, under Big Sister Susu's oppressive might it absolutely would not go berserk.
"Quack!!!" Hearing this, Ya Ya burst into tears—this day had finally come.
Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west; these past days it had kept its edge hidden and survived in obscurity. Whether it could now rise against the odds and trample the earth beneath its feet all depended on this one attempt.
Inside Little Purple—the Starry World.
Shi Jin and the others carefully took out the super-god resource obtained by slaying the Blue Star Abyssal Sea lineage: the Eye of the Evil God.
The abyssal half-god who held the Eye of the Evil God would grow stronger still, and could control every source of corruption, expanding their power even more swiftly.
Beyond that, the Eye of the Evil God had many other wondrous uses—for instance, transforming ordinary creatures into abyssal kin, or devouring other life and converting its vitality into corruption. And corruption was the core power of the abyssal kin.
Every generation of abyssal half-god had wielded the Eye of the Evil God—or rather, the Eye of the Evil God had created every generation of abyssal half-god.
Even the Ocean Fairies at their peak had been unable to purify this item. But this time, Susu, who had evolved into a Star Sea Spirit, suppressed the Eye of the Evil God with a single Star Sea Pact: Origin Fluctuation.
"Can you do it?"
"Ning!!" The Starry Slime Susu floated in midair, continuously emitting Origin Fluctuation to purify the Eye of the Evil God. At this moment, just as Lin had predicted, the Star Sea Pact produced no backlash whatsoever—on the contrary, its power kept growing, aiding Susu in purifying the Eye of the Evil God.
"Ning!!" Susu was beyond excited. On Blue Star, it had purified the Blue Star Abyssal Sea's origin for countless cycles without success; this time, it felt it could finally cleanse that power.
It—at the half-god tier—could now easily purify even the legacy power left behind by a super-god-tier being.
Shi Jin was certain that in the entire World King Star Environmental Protection Association, those capable of such a feat were few and far between—a second one would be hard to find.
Of course, Susu's goal at this moment was not to destroy the Eye of the Evil God outright. What it needed to do was purify the Eye of the Evil God into an unowned object—a pure strengthening resource—and then give it to Ya Ya.
This way, first, it made use of waste; second, Ya Ya could master the Eye of the Evil God to the greatest extent possible, rather than being influenced by it.
"Quack!! (Big Sister Susu, keep it up!!)" At this moment, watching the Eye of the Evil God being ground into the dirt by Susu's Origin Fluctuation, Ya Ya swallowed hard, and the notion of a comeback against Class One slowly faded from its mind. Sure enough, the ideal of utterly crushing Little Machine was a bit more reliable—and a bit more realistic.
"Susu, how long do you estimate it will take?" Shi Tang asked.
"Ning ning. (More than a day.)" Susu said.
Shi Li: "All right, then I'll add some other skills to Ya Ya first. We'll wait for you."
"Quack!!" Ya Ya nodded vigorously.
One day later.
Susu finally finished purifying the Eye of the Evil God. The most outrageous part was that, after continuously using two quasi-god skills for a full day of purification, it had expended not a single bit of energy; apart from being a little mentally fatigued, its condition was almost full.
This made Shi Yanlin and the others deeply realize just how terrifying the Star Sea Spirit race was when dealing with the abyssal lineage.
This was simply a natural counter.
The purified Eye of the Evil God had changed from a great evil, dark eyeball into something like a colored contact lens—very small and delicate, black overall, with a pattern at the core of the pupil resembling a red V-shaped flying bird.
"Ning, ning!" Under Susu's gaze, Ya Ya tremblingly picked up the Eye of the Evil God. It looked left and right and found that Eleven, Bug Bug, Crimson Eye, and all the other seniors had come over to watch it fuse.
Little Machine was there too.
"Quack... (Thank you all for caring and coming to watch me. I'll do my best.)" Ya Ya was nervous.
Little Machine said: "Roar!!! (Don't read too much into it. Everyone came only to make sure that if you go berserk, we can beat you to death at the first moment.)"
Ya Ya: ????
"Quack!! (Thanks a lot!!)" Hearing this, Ya Ya grew even more afraid to fail.
"Don't listen to Little Machine's nonsense. Beating you to death won't happen, but a beating is definitely unavoidable." Shi Yan smiled kindly.
"Do your best."
Ya Ya went "emmm" and directly stuffed the Evil God contact lens into its left eye. The next instant, a vast abyssal force invaded Ya Ya's entire body.
"Gah!!!!!!!" Ya Ya clutched its eye and screamed in agony.
Though it had only been inserted into one eye, the same pattern had appeared in the right eye as well; Yaya pressed both hands over its eyes, struggling to hold out.
At the same time, a vast torrent of abyssal power poured out of it, and in an instant it had defiled the entire island, turning it into an island of the abyss.
Fortunately, Susu was there—a ripple of corruption that small, it could purify in an instant.
At this moment, Yaya was in a harder spot than any abyssal demigod of ages past, for it meant to seize complete control of the Eye of the Evil God, and so the pressure upon it was all the greater.
"Ginseng Baby, World Tree Fruit." "Eeh."
"Susu, purify." "Ning!"
"Yaya, hold on a little longer. I will assist you."
Shi Jin entered a state of mental resonance with Yaya directly, lending it support.
"Ya!!!! (I am the sovereign of the seas!!! A paltry power of the abyss like this cannot hope to disturb me!!)"
Yaya threw back its head and roared to the sky, not forgetting the pact the two had made when Shi Jin first subdued it.
