Chapter 176
The Pirate Queen has descended!
This statement was not a question, but a certainty.
Xiar was one hundred percent sure that Crocodile was now the Pirate Queen, Chloe.
Using the Banyan Tree Seedling as a vessel, she had successfully manifested her presence!
While this seemed unbelievable, it was actually understandable. After Ultimate Evolution, a Spirit Master's mental power undergoes a qualitative change, allowing them to influence ordinary people merely through their will.
Powerful beings like Xiar could even turn ordinary individuals into puppets.
Moreover, after Super Evolution, the transformation of mental power became even more pronounced, enabling the possibility of seizing bodies under specific conditions, akin to the practices found in cultivation—occupying another's body solely through overwhelming mental strength!
Of course, this kind of possession could not last long; it might only endure for a brief moment or even less.
Otherwise, those at the Fourth Level could easily continue living by seizing other bodies after their physical forms perished.
Crocodile—no, it should be her appearance now, but the soul belonged to the Pirate Queen, Chloe!
She showed no signs of denial or disdain for hiding her identity. Her body emerged from the water, causing the entire sea to cheer and rejoice, as if expressing their affection for her.
"Adorable creatures, submit to me and become my pets!"
Ling Kong floated above the surface of the sea, walking towards Xiar at a leisurely pace. A faint smile appeared on her face, which looked oddly harmonious against her scarred visage, giving her an otherworldly charm.
"Do you think it's possible?" Xiar replied indifferently.
Then, Firefly jumped off his shoulder and stood steadily on the surface of the water, suddenly breaking into a dance.
With the vast ocean as her stage and countless Purple Light Dots as starlight, she created a dazzling starry performance, showcasing her immense power.
This time, the sea, which had gradually calmed down after the giant turtle fell unconscious, surged back to life, rippling with every movement she made.
"Since there's no escape, let's give it our all and show you who truly dominates this sea!" Xiar's eyes sparkled as his Evolution Points rapidly decreased while his Mental Attribute soared.
Once the totem completed its Ultimate Evolution, it could no longer increase its strength through Evolution Points. Therefore, Xiar focused on strengthening himself to empower the totems once again.
After his Mental Attribute exceeded 10 points, each subsequent increase required consuming 10 Evolution Points, meaning he needed 100 Evolution Points to raise it by just one point!
But right now, Xiar had an abundance of Evolution Points—over five digits worth—allowing him to freely enhance his Mental Attribute.
In this current contest, aside from Mental Attribute, the other three major attributes were useless. After all, both the Sea of Devil's Algae and Chloe possessed terrifyingly powerful mental strength.
No matter how strong his physical body was, under their attacks, it would merely be a target, helpless and vulnerable.
The only thing he could do now was to rely on his formidable mental strength to contend with them, vying for control over the Net of Magic Algae in order to escape or—eliminate them!
"Oh? Interesting. Your mental strength is actually increasing. Too bad it's still just a desperate struggle. Give up; you cannot fight against me."
Chloe grew increasingly intrigued by him. From her initial aloofness to now gazing at him with eyes full of curiosity, it seemed she wanted to see through him completely.
Since she became the Pirate Queen, no one had ever piqued her interest like this.
What surprised her the most was that the other party was only around sixteen or seventeen years old, yet had already entered the ranks of a Third-Level Spirit Master, possessing a mental strength far beyond that of peers.
Mental strength was the most important attribute for a Spirit Master, without exception!
Spirit Masters relied on their mental strength to connect with the omnipresent Source Power of the world, gradually transcending and gaining various incredible abilities.
And this individual happened to possess such formidable mental strength on the verge of transformation, indicating a high chance of Super Evolution!
Such a prodigy was not someone she could easily overlook.
Buzz!
Chloe did not allow Xiar's mental strength to rise unchecked; she acted decisively!
As she waved her hand, a massive and unmatched phantom quietly emerged behind her, occupying hundreds of meters around and towering into the mist, casting everything beneath it in shadow. It was the will projection of the Great Banyan Tree!
Countless fine branches spread out, forming a vast net that obscured the sun, enveloping Xiar within hundreds of meters and trapping her in a cage from all directions!
Xiar made no move, indifferently watching herself being ensnared by the giant net.
Purple light filled the air, enhancing the dance of Fireflies, as if a fairy dancing in purple mist was gracefully singing and swaying in this realm...
Xiar coldly observed her Attribute Panel as her Evolution Points decreased by 00 points, and her Mental Attribute successfully crossed the threshold from 19 points!
After surpassing zero, the required Evolution Points for each increase in the attribute doubles again, meaning that 100 Evolution Points are needed to raise it by one point!
Xiar couldn't care less about the changes brought on by the surge in mental power; he continued to consume Mental Attribute without hesitation.
This rapid increase had already begun to instill a sense of impending collapse within him, as if he were a balloon inflating continuously, ready to burst once it reached its limit!
But he had no other choice; he was far from enough, too far away!
"Keep increasing for me!"
A few seconds later, after consuming over two thousand Evolution Points, his Mental Attribute surpassed zero!
Next, raising the attribute by one point would require 40 Evolution Points.
This consumption was not a gradual increase but an exponential surge!
Moments later, twenty thousand Evolution Points vanished in the blink of an eye, and Xiar's Mental Attribute had reached its limit—499!
This number represented the maximum for a Third-Level Spirit Master, a theoretical limit that no one had ever achieved!
This meant that with just one more point of increase, he would possess mental power comparable to that of a Fourth-Level Spirit Master.
And mental power was an external manifestation of the soul, equivalent to his soul completing a Super Evolution. The subsequent process of allowing the Main Totem to undergo Super Evolution would become exceedingly easy!
"How could your mental power surge so dramatically?"
If Chloe had previously been merely interested, seeing his mental strength surge now filled her with greed as she sought to uncover the reason behind his rapid ascent.
"Guess?"
Xiar's lips curled into a smile. Though it still couldn't compare to Chloe, it was enough for now.
After all, the Entity was thousands of miles away; what had descended was merely a fragment. With his current mental strength, he was already capable of competing with it!
"To be honest, I didn't want to resort to this move, but you forced my hand."
Xiar suppressed the explosive pain and amplified his mental power, creating waves that surged outward in all directions. The mysterious and elusive mental fluctuations formed a strange and peculiar melody—
"La~ la la la~ la..."
This melody was faint yet present, like a lover whispering in one's ear or countless voices murmuring softly.
Vague and elusive, it felt as if it shouldn't exist—mysterious and unfathomable!
Chloe, who had originally felt in control, suddenly changed her expression, revealing a naked intent to kill. "Very well, so you have become His lapdog!"
"You are finished. From now on, you will be the common enemy of all Fourth-Level Experts. There will be no place for you in this vast world!"
He—who made even the formidable Fourth-Level Experts remain on high alert, forcing them to unite against him!
Such an invincible existence should never have appeared!
But Xiar did not respond; instead, he closed his eyes, striving with all his might to simulate the strange wave he had once felt.
Previously, he could only sense it, and with his weak abilities at that time, he could not comprehend its mysteries. Now, with a mental strength equivalent to dozens of times what it had been before, he successfully replicated the simulation.
“Lah~lah-lah-lah~lah…”
The melody echoed, vibrating the entire Net of Magic Algae and causing it to resonate.
On the other side, Firefly continued to dance in the endless purple light, momentarily transforming into a graceful sprite adorned in flowing garments, reveling in the affection of the earth.
On the Attribute Panel, the interpretation of Firefly after Ultimate Evolution was—
A sprite under the moonlight, a favored child of the Moon God, representing the most beautiful aspect of the moon. Whenever it danced, all beings would bow down in admiration!
Now, on this special stage, Firefly truly achieved this.
The endless Demon Algae consciousness resonated in response, like loyal spectators sharing joy and sorrow with its dance!
The purple light illuminated the surroundings, enveloping everything in a brilliant glow. Even the web of branches woven by Chloe began to melt away under the radiance, as if made of ice and snow.
“Ah, I wanted to continue your growth, but unfortunately, you seek your own demise. By my name, Chloe, I command you to fall into a deep slumber!” Chloe sighed.
Behind her, the Great Banyan Tree Phantom swayed, forming endless threads that cascaded downwards and spread out in all directions for dozens or even hundreds of kilometers.
These threads resembled circuits through which powerful energy surged. The Net of Magic Algae trembled as if struck by lightning; the threads connecting to endless consciousness dimmed, and some were completely severed!
Breaking away meant that each strand of algae consciousness once again became an individual, leaving behind the cooperative cluster. A solitary piece of algae was even weaker than an ant!
This time, under the dance of Firefly, the endless Demon Algae consciousness resonated and then instantly calmed down.
However, this situation had long been anticipated by Xiar. He closed his eyes, and his formidable mental strength extended through the endless connections, invading the location of the developing Consciousness Entity.
Xiar was prepared—to awaken that consciousness!
Since a reverse consciousness capable of surpassing everything could be born, it inherently possessed a will to protect itself and would not willingly submit to manipulation.
What Xiar needed to do now was to trigger its instincts in order to counter Chloe!
His mental tendrils swiftly entered the space where the Consciousness Entity resided, observing from a distance.
This strange space seemed to exist outside the world, forming its own realm, and the Consciousness Entity was located at the very center of this space, radiating endless heat and light like a sun.
Upon arriving here, Xiar helplessly discovered that with his current limit as a Third-Level Spirit Master and his Mental Attribute, he still felt as fragile as an ant before the entity. The gap was so vast it was akin to comparing a lake to an ocean!
"Awaken, you who are in gestation!"
He strained to transmit his mental waves inward, but under the brilliance of the entity, Xiar felt like a fish being scorched by the sun, enduring cruel torment.
Every inch of his extending mental power melted under its relentless heat, causing Xiar to feel the pain of his soul being sliced apart piece by piece.
Yet Xiar did not stop; he consumed Evolution Points to forcibly sustain himself, replenishing the mental energy that had melted away.
On the other side, the Great Banyan Tree Phantom behind Chloe grew ever larger, gradually becoming a tree as massive as a mountain, standing tall over the ocean and suppressing the entire Sea of Devil's Algae.
Thick branches, each several meters in diameter, hung down from the Sky, crashing deeply into the ocean like giant dragons rolling through the waters.
Wherever they passed, all shimmering purple light vanished, and the thick layer of algae covering the sea was devoured and absorbed, subsequently transforming into nutrients that allowed it to sprout even more branches.
As far as the eye could see, endless thick branches swept through everything like greedy serpents, consuming all in their path.
Whether it was algae or various Sea Monsters fleeing in panic, no creature could escape the fate of being devoured.
No words could adequately describe such a magnificent scene; it was utterly destructive, consuming everything and dominating all!
The Great Banyan Tree Phantom used its endless thick branches to weave a vast net, seemingly intent on capturing the entire Sea of Devil's Algae in one sweep!
"Ah, this is a miracle of life!" Warner murmured as he looked up, his eyes devoid of fear and instead filled with endless admiration and shock at the source of this terrifying spectacle.
Fortunately, during its consumption of everything, the Great Banyan Tree seemed to intentionally avoid all humans and did not swallow them.
Otherwise, he would have had no power to resist and would have been left to be consumed as mere nourishment.
Buzz~
At that moment, a faint wave spread out, accompanied by murmurs that resembled a sleeping child’s dreams.
In a mysterious space, after paying a heavy price, Xiar finally sensed a faint ripple amidst the endless light before him.
A pure and innocent yet immensely powerful consciousness was reaching out to him!
The entity had no thoughts typical of humanity; it was merely an instinctual awareness, filled with curiosity about the world, like a newborn baby untouched by any worldly desires.
"Hey, someone is destroying your body! Don't you know how to resist?" Xiar suppressed his inner excitement and urgently sent a mental message to the entity.
However, there was no response. The other party seemed to lack even the capacity for speech, completely unable to comprehend what he was saying.
"Someone is devouring everything about you, wanting to use you as nourishment for her Evolution..."
Xiar had no choice but to patiently explain bit by bit, as there were no language barriers in mental communication.
Unfortunately, the entity was far too naive and ignorant, making his explanations ultimately futile—like playing music to a cow.
Just as Xiar was growing increasingly desperate, the entity finally responded. A beam of Radiance flew out from the sun-like brilliance and merged into his consciousness.
Then, he suddenly realized that he had gained the authority to control the Net of Magic Algae.
Not just a portion that he had previously stealthily stolen, but the entire network's authority!
