Chapter 202 Meager

At that moment, on the other side, the deep blue crystal that had been quietly emitting a mysterious light and suddenly bursting out with a powerful energy shield seemed to have a life of its own, slowly extending three slender lines that were almost imperceptible.

The three thin threads extended out at an astonishing speed, piercing precisely into the bodies of the already lifeless high priest and bishop.

In an instant, a chilling scene unfolded!

The bodies of the high priest and the bishop resembled a frozen pear that had been completely thawed, being mercilessly sucked by a giant straw.

Their bodies rapidly shriveled up, and the already dwindling amount of flesh shrank even further, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Within seconds, only a thin black cloak remained, lying limply on the ground, its weight flowing over the blood, giving it an incredibly light and eerie feeling.

"Tsk, that's troublesome."

Earl looked grim and muttered something under his breath.

He seemed to have already recognized who was behind all this, and his face was full of disgust.

"Meager".

Meros had already transformed into human form when he was washed by the blood. He and Earl had just tried to touch the deep blue crystal, but they were repelled.

Now, he recognized the thing and uttered a name.

"Go protect Lin Xiyue first; you're no use here."

As Earl spoke, he forcefully threw the Spirit Flame towards Lin Xiyue, who was sitting on the nest not far away, looking bewildered.

"Hey—you could at least have told me beforehand that you were going to throw it away—"

Lingyan said this, but still nimbly flipped over and landed on the nest where Lin Xiyue was sitting.

After greeting Lin Xiyue, he began to be on guard around and looked towards Molos and the others with Lin Xiyue.

And this side.

After the deep blue crystal, as profound as the deep sea, successfully absorbed all the energy from the three bodies, it skillfully and swiftly brought together the three originally scattered, slender lines and cleverly merged them into a relatively thick line.

The newly formed thick line seemed to have a life of its own, stretching flexibly and accurately toward the crack in the ground, and finally inserting itself steadily into the crevice.

It is important to know that this is the key place where those bright red blood and powerful energy continuously converge.

Previously, the high priest and the bishop, when they were engaged in fierce battle with Earl and his group, even under immense pressure of life and death, remained steadfast in their posts and dared not leave for even a moment.

This is because this point is the most crucial energy gathering point in the entire formation.

If they relax even slightly or move away from this place, then without a doubt, this energy gathering point that they have worked so hard to accumulate will be ruthlessly destroyed by Earl and his men.

Just as the mysterious, deep blue crystal began to fully absorb the surrounding immense energy, it trembled and changed—a chilling eye slowly opened in the center of its crystal-clear surface!

The eye that suddenly appeared had a peculiar shape, resembling the eye of a goat, with a narrow, elongated pupil. From a distance, the eye exuded an indescribable eeriness, sending chills down one's spine.

Even more astonishingly, as energy continuously flowed into the deep blue crystal, a faint, ethereal image was projected from that eerie eye.

At first, the image was blurry and indistinct, as illusory and unreal as the moon reflected in water or a flower in a mirror.

However, as time went by and more and more energy was continuously injected, the image gradually became clearer, and its outline and details were gradually refined and enriched, but its appearance was always as if it were covered by a veil, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Long time no see, what are you doing here?"

The solidified image was a man with a blurred face. He first looked around and then saw Meros and Earl floating in front of him.

"Tsk, you dare to show your face?!"

Earl and Meros clearly knew the projected figure, and Earl immediately questioned him upon seeing him.

"What do I have to be afraid of? You can't hit me now anyway."

The man raised an eyebrow, looking nonchalant, and even seemed to be provoking Earl in his words.

"!!!you!!!"

Earl was so angry that his face turned red, and he felt like he was about to throw a punch at him any second.

"Earl."

Meros stopped Earl, then looked at the projection.

"Philippines, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Don't you know what I want to do? Ha, royalty. I used to be royalty too."

Under Meros's gaze, the person who had been calmly provoking Earl suddenly erupted.

He seemed to get extremely angry whenever he saw Meros, as if he had been suppressed by Meros for a long time. If his anger level were game-like, it would feel like it was off the charts.

"So, you're trying to absorb energy now? You'll get into trouble with something so messy."

Meros remained calm, looking at him as if he were a spoiled child, and calmly pointed out his problem.

"You?! Ha, you think you can make decisions for me? Let me tell you, I will soon surpass you, and then the entire alien race will have to listen to me!!"

The man took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said those words, clearly becoming impatient.

"You! You won't find me! You're dreaming!"

After he bluntly uttered those words, the entire virtual image disappeared.

Then, the eyes that had been wide open on the surface of the deep blue crystal slowly closed, just like a sleeping giant gently closing its eyelids.

At the same time, the pipe that had been continuously drawing energy from the surroundings seemed to receive some kind of instruction and began to retract quickly and nimbly.

In that instant, without warning, the deep blue crystal suddenly shattered!

With a deafening roar, countless tiny crystal fragments scattered and flew out like a swarm of startled bees.

These crystal fragments flew at an astonishing speed, almost exceeding the limits of human vision. Like lightning, they vanished from Meros's sight in the blink of an eye.

What's even more surprising is that each of the exploded crystals seems to have its own clear goal and direction.

Like well-trained soldiers, they sped off in all directions. Some soared into the sky and instantly merged into the vast starry sky; others plunged into the depths of the earth and disappeared without a trace; still others flew swiftly along the horizontal direction and vanished at the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
