Chapter 262
What exactly was the “Silkworm”?
How could it be so powerful that it made the “Misfortune” trait drain enough anomalous energy to pull off something as absurd as teleporting the moon through space and slamming it into the Earth? But by this point, Shen Ge didn’t even have time to be shocked, because… the Earth itself had come alive!
In the past, whether from the Haiya Research Institute Report, or from information gathered through monster organization members and the dream worlds, Shen Ge had always felt something was off whenever he came across intelligence suggesting that humanity’s destruction of the planet had given rise to something akin to “negative emotions”, which could mutate non-human life forms and ultimately wipe out mankind.
Seeing the scene unfolding right before his eyes, a bold and utterly insane speculation suddenly took root in Shen Ge’s mind —
The Earth itself might be a colossal anomaly. Or rather, it was the true anomaly king all along.
And the so-called Anomaly King — that “stopper” — might simply be its heart, or some other organ. Because this speculation was the only thing that could explain why the underground was completely filled with anomalous energy. It was exactly the same as how the insides of a mega-anomaly’s stomach were also saturated with anomalous energy!
Ever since the Yuzhou anomaly disaster, when Shen Ge had dealt with the anomaly named “Bu Chu” and learned that the best way to handle a high-order mega-anomaly was to burrow into its stomach and destroy its heart, he had entered the bellies of giant anomalies no fewer than ten times. Because of this, he had witnessed the conditions inside their stomachs on numerous occasions.
And the common trait among these high-order anomalies was that their stomachs were filled with dense, powerful black anomalous mist and all sorts of mutated parasitic anomalies.
On top of that, high-order anomalies also exhibited internal “natural disasters” like lava flows, collapses akin to earthquakes, and anomalous energy tornadoes. If you scaled that up, it wasn’t too far-fetched to say it was a reflection of Earth itself.
