Monsters Are Coming

Seeing the Primordial Monster, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit immediately thought of the unsolved mystery.

Can the Player Clan truly obtain Strength from the Primordial Monster, or can they mimic the Rule Ability of the Primordial Monster?

The guess given by the Evil Eye is that the Player Clan might have mastered a Rule Power that mimics rules.

It is precisely through the power granted by mimicry that the Player Clan has acquired abilities similar to those of a Lord.

But the exact truth remains unknown.

Now is a great testing opportunity, and while at it, let’s grossly annoy the players.

In a fleeting moment, the Black Tide swept towards the Primordial Monster.

The Primordial Monster instantly flapped its wings trying to take flight, but was quickly bound and dragged into the Black Tide by numerous pitch-black tentacles extending from it.

This time, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit did not harm the Source.

He knows that even if he kills the Source, it won’t decompose any Energy.

Next, he’ll use this Source to test the players’ reactions.

But before that, he needs to understand the abilities that this Primordial Monster possesses.

The tentacles of the Black Tide dissipated, generating Evil Spirit Soldiers that actively lunged at the Primordial Monster to stimulate it.

Immediately, the bat-shaped Primordial Monster in the scene started spraying ice mist at the nearby demonic spirits.

After several minutes of testing, the voice of the Evil Eye echoed in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind:

"Earth Thought, the ability of this Primordial Monster is to release an elemental attack with a freezing effect, even demonic spirits with Ice Element Resistance find it hard to resist."

Having clarified the ability traits of the Primordial Monster, several tentacles from the Black Tide reformed to bind it again, redirecting towards the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

An hour later, the Black Tide faced the United Battle Group led by the Divine King head-on.

Seeing the Black Tide actively attacking, the Divine King was taken aback.

Although Earth Thought Bully was despicable, they usually instigated attacks, making the Bully avoid them at all costs.

Every encounter was met with a Catastrophe barrier to counter.

Recently, the exchange of insults had turned to various forms of disdain, an attitude of keeping them at bay.

Situations of such active offenses are indeed rare.

With bewilderment, the battle commenced.

However, what left the Divine King and the United Battle Group players dumbfounded was seeing a bound Primordial Monster within the Black Tide.

Decomposition cleared away, revealing information about the Primordial Monster in the minds of the players.

[Ice Mist Breath (First Generation Origin)]:

Source Introduction: A Primordial Monster with the trait of Ice Mist Breath, the mist it releases adds a frost effect upon contact with the target, reducing movement efficiency, and can freeze the target with prolonged exposure (the frost effect’s potency is influenced by Life Soul Level, own Spiritual Strength, and the target’s Qi Blood Strength; freezing a target requires accumulating a certain amount of frost trait).

...

Seeing it’s a Magic System Life Soul type, the magic players in the United Battle Group were visibly excited.

Although it is a First Generation Origin, it provides attack-oriented elemental damage.

It can be used in conjunction with the universal Magic Tower Stream and can combine with Void Grip for long-distance application of Ice Mist Breath effects on targets.

It’s a highly versatile type of Life Soul.

But what puzzles them is the meaning behind Earth Thought Bully capturing the Source.

The answer to this question soon became clear.

Because Earth Thought Bully’s mischievous operations began once more.

Amid the surging Black Tide, the bound Primordial Monster actively attacked the players.

Yet, as the frontline players prepared to strike, the Black Tide swiftly engulfed the Primordial Monster internally.

Thus, occasionally bringing it out for a show.

In battle, Black Tide Demonic Spirits also changed their taunting lines.

"Wow, you guys are trying so hard, need me to wipe your sweat? Not everyone can touch the Primordial Monster, you know."

"You’re working so hard, I want to give you a ’Best Effort Award,’ but alas, the Primordial Monster is still in my hands. Let me show you once more."

"Bro, can you do it or not? If not, kneel and beg me—I might just give it to you, seriously."

"Hey, that was close, you almost caught it! What a pity, always just a bit short, just like your sacrificial power, never enough to use."

...

Even though there’s some immunity to the taunting lines.

But under the constant harassment of Earth Thought Bully, the players gradually heated up.

This constant act of showcasing the Source, followed by taunting them, is truly beast-like, treating them as a monkey show.

Yet the problem is, they indeed want this Primordial Monster.

Especially the magic players and support players in the United Battle Group, who believe this is a rare Life Soul type with both elemental output and control effects.

However, under Earth Thought Bully’s manipulation, the Black Tide implies a stance of only letting you look, but never giving it to you—what can you do about it?

The players fought increasingly angrily, but Earth Thought Bully grew increasingly delighted with each bout.

That’s exactly the combat effect he wanted.

Usually tormented by the Player Clan, he could finally enjoy himself for a while.

Originally planning to torment a bit and then give the Source to the Player Clan to test his conjecture.

But now, he’s planning to play some more.

"Earth Thought, if you continue to apply pressure, be careful of the powerful commander from the Player Clan showing up again."

"I’ve never feared them; I merely think they’re formidable, but so what? Facing difficulties directly is the only way for me to grow." Standing on the Tower platform, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit crossed his arms, his expression cold.

"Great thought. Fear only makes you regress. As the Black Tide Commander, any opponent will eventually become nourishment for the growth of your command skills." The Evil Eye nodded in strong agreement, then continued:

"Recently, my ability has increased; perhaps I can find a way to counter the mysterious commander of the Player Clan."

With the intent clarified, Earth Thought Evil Spirit opted to continue mocking the players.

During this time, the bound "Ice Mist Breath" intermittently appeared in and out of the Black Tide, sometimes over the players’ heads, sometimes diving close across the battlefield.

Whenever players tried to attack, the Ice Mist Breath quickly got swallowed back up by the Black Tide, with all offensives thwarted by it.

The thoroughly heated players couldn’t help but lash out in anger.

In response to the players’ counterattacks, Earth Thought Bully grew smarter and immediately requested:

"Evil Eye, mute the sounds of the battlefield."

The Evil Eye, hearing this, instantly muted the transmitted sounds under the Perception state.

In the silent state, the players’ taunts were rendered meaningless.

"Earth Thought, you just said avoiding only leads to regression, facing challenges directly is the way to growth, so why start avoiding it now?"

"Shut up, I just don’t like hearing it—not that I can’t hear it. This isn’t avoiding; it’s about disliking it."

Saying this, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit spoke viciously:

"By the way, keep the sound transmission open, and collect all the insult information from the Player Clan since you’re not afraid of being insulted."

The Evil Eye blinked, nodded seriously:

"No problem; these insulting words cause me no stress—I’m collecting the information."

A few seconds later, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit suddenly flew into a rage:

"Damn it, Evil Eye, I told you to shut off the sound, not turn it into text and stuff it into my brain."
