There was a moment of silence from Duan Chen.
He accepted it well the next second.
This kind of magically modified medical skill and the resurrection of corpses that made it impossible for people to accept seemed not to be a big problem for Hill.
However...
He remembered the tarot cards, the tarot card that Wu Suowei handed him personally, The High Priestess...
Was this The High Priestess?
A thought formed in his mind.
Duan Chen couldn't help but ponder.
Perhaps he had been wrong?
But he always felt that the owner of each tarot card should have something special.
Although saying this might sound like bragging, he was very clear that with his talent and strength, he could be considered a genius, even a prodigy.
He had awakened his S-class weapon, Qian Huan Pandora, when he was twelve years old.
Qian Huan Pandora had not yet reached its limit, which was truly frightening.
Over the years, Gao Tiankai, Old Zhang, and Ming Yan had all concealed the level of Qian Huan Pandora in their hands.
He had not re-measured the level of Qian Huan Pandora.
Duan Chen pondered, the level of Qian Huan Pandora grew with his strength, which was why it could always match his use.
If he were to test the level of Qian Huan Pandora now, it would likely exceed SS-class.
He didn't know how much bloodshed it would cause.
It was thanks to the concealment of his three loved ones that he had not been killed by the greed of others before he had grown.
Hill...
Meeting Hill could be described as destiny.
Her magically modified medical skills and her heaven-defying methods that could be called resurrection made people tremble.
This was only The Fool and The High Priestess.
There were other cards.
Jun Ci.
Duan Chen couldn't help but think of The Magician.
The Magician, Jun Ci, Bai Ye, The Hanged Man...
What kind of talents would they have? What hidden methods would they possess that had not been discovered?
He suppressed his inner thoughts, raised a hand, and grabbed Hill, venturing into other areas of the basement.
They had already explored near the main door, and from inside the door, Jia Rengui and the other four had come out.
But this did not mean there were no other sea monsters in the basement.
Moreover, not only were there, but their numbers were terrifyingly large.
An incense stick's worth of time passed.
Duan Chen frowned, looking at the deformed creatures that appeared before him, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Too many!"
"Void Realm, activate!"
With a low roar, warm ripples, like deep blue seawater, slowly spread throughout the room, covering all the existing area.
All that could be seen was an environment that was as warm as seawater yet felt chilling to the bone.
Duan Chen stood within it, his expression calm, not feeling the cold. Hill, who was by his side, had her eyes wide open, pondering with curiosity.
She murmured.
"Is this the legendary Void Realm? It looks very researchable? Your Void Realm also has many phantoms..."
Duan Chen nodded, diverting some of his thoughts to explain to Hill.
"This is a talent skill that I copied."
"I obtained it from an Apostle, but it is not of the same origin as the Apostles."
"Different people using different skills will also have different performances..."
Hill nodded thoughtfully.
She seemed to understand something.
Duan Chen said no more. The phantoms that emerged from his Void Realm one by one grabbed the nearby deformed creatures, dragging these hybrids of sea monster blood and humans into the depths of the Void Realm.
Duan Chen felt surges of power welling up within him.
His expression couldn't help but change.
This was the first time he had used the Void Realm on a large scale after merging with the White Chess, and it was also the first time he had allowed the phantoms within the Void Realm free rein.
The feedback and effects it brought were beyond his expectations.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation.
This was the feeling of power.
He could feel that the deformed creatures dragged into the Void Realm by the phantoms and disappearing had all turned into his strength.
Moreover, the feedback from the Void Realm indicated that anything that could be entangled by the phantoms, whether it was a deformed creature, a strange being, a human, or a sea monster, could be swallowed by him and become a source for the growth of his power.
This feeling was intoxicating.
But Duan Chen did not have the slightest obsession. He had even decided in his heart that if possible in the future, he would use the Void Realm less.
The growth of power would inflate the desires in people's hearts.
It would also cause them to lose sight of their original purpose.
He would never be a puppet lost in power.
After eliminating all the deformed creatures in the room, Duan Chen retracted the Void Realm.
He pushed open the door in front of him, and a monster like a facehugger rushed towards him.
He calmly dodged it and then stepped forward to stomp it to death.
Deep blue pupils swirled in his eyes.
This was another one of his pupil techniques, which could foresee future events.
Before he pushed open the door, he had already begun to activate it.
A large amount of spiritual energy was supplying his talents, and all his talents were mobilized. Any skill he knew would play its role at this moment.
So, before he pushed the door open, he had already foreseen what would happen.
Avoiding all future bad events and leading the future to a good outcome.
Duan Chen wielded this skill, which vaguely involved causality, with ease.
Hill, who followed him, looked as if she had suddenly discovered something fun, and her eyes instantly became bright and shiny.
She looked at Duan Chen's back, her gaze becoming exceptionally intense.
And just as Duan Chen turned to look at her, the light in her eyes extinguished. She swayed and walked to Duan Chen's side, as if she had never had such an intense gaze.
"Let's continue."
Duan Chen felt a burning sensation on his back, scanned around suspiciously, but found nothing unusual.
He suppressed his inner doubts and said to Hill.
Hill did not object at all, nodded obediently, and followed behind Duan Chen.
The two of them swept through the basement. Duan Chen did not restrain his use of the Void Realm too much, or rather, he needed strength, more strength.
The deformed creatures here did not evoke any sense of guilt in his heart, making them perfect to fill himself up.
