Chapter 68 Delmor - Tadashi
The Panara's space increased to 2,000 x 2,000 x 2,000, which was twice as much as before, which didn't make him feel too happy.
After all, he had only filled 1/10 of the previous space. So doubling the existing space didn't make too much sense either.
What made him happy was the new function of the Fusion Space.
Suddenly, the lights in his room flashed a few times and then turned off. Hikaru frowned, it seemed that even remote places like a power plant could not continue to operate.
Or perhaps.. The apocalypse had reached its peak, and the power transmission lines had been damaged which caused widespread blackouts.
Hikaru had never read the God's Day manga, but he had also seen many comments on the forum.
In the world of God's Day, electrical equipment will be unusable, even radios will not work because of a strange energy source that was being emitted from the sky.
Human society also seemed to revert to the Middle Ages, no, everything was more horrible than in the Middle Ages.
There were Zombies everywhere, and those Zombies tried to attack humans.
However, Zombies in this world at first acted slowly and only listened to noises to find prey.
But Zombies in this world still have the ability to evolve. Yes, they could evolve in two ways: by cannibalism and by self-evolution.
In the brains of Zombies and evolved people there is a gem that people call an energy crystal.
Evolved people can rely on the Zombie's energy crystals to upgrade their strength, Zombies can also take evolved people's energy crystals to evolve.
Zombies can also eat the energy crystals of their fellow zombies to evolve.
Can humans do that? The answer is yes.
However, ethical barriers do not allow them to do so. But.. Hikaru knew that the moral barrier is not strong enough to prevent human greed.
Back to the main issue, after the Zombie appeared, there will be an ice age.
At that time, because dark clouds covered the entire earth for so long, the earth's temperature rapidly dropped.
The strange thing is that the dark cloud seems to absorb all the light of the sun, but it also gives off light.
However, that light was not much, it was like moonlight, no, it was a little brighter than moonlight.
The temperature of the earth at that time dropped, it was around -15 degrees Celsius. Everything was frozen, a lot of Zombies were also frozen.
Although the fear of Zombies was gone, everyone had another concern..
Okay, he didn't want to think too much about the future either. Hikaru just wanted to know if he could evolve through absorbing energy crystals.
[The answer is no, master.]
"Heh?!"
[But you can use them for other purposes, for example for Velys or Shiori to use. Or.. you can use them as a source of energy to make space fusion work.]
Hikaru frowned upon hearing that, it seems.. Even though he couldn't become an evolved person and couldn't eat energy crystals to level up, he still needed to collect them for other purposes.
More specifically, the Panara's fusion space needed energy crystals to function.
Hikaru sighed, he decided to rest for today, and wait for Shiori to wake up.
..
In the school, Delmor and Rina hid in a classroom located on the 3rd floor. There were 12 other people in the room, they looked outside, they felt scared at what was happening.
"How is it?"
"I don't know!"
"It's scary, are we going to die?"
"Don't worry, the army and the police will come and save us."
People began to reassure each other, as if they didn't want to accept this reality.
Delmor frowned, but when he saw Rina, who was shaking with her head in her hands, he could only sigh.
"Rina.. don't worry, I will protect you."
Hearing that, Rina slowly raised her head to look at Delmor, then shook her head again and said: "You don't need to comfort me, I know we will not avoid death. However, thank you for comforting me.."
Delmor wanted to say something, when suddenly, a book appeared in his mind, startling him.
"What's that?!" Delmor thought. He glanced around, realizing that everyone was not paying attention to him, he closed his eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he realized that he was standing in an extremely dark space, in front of him was a book floating in space emitting an extremely divine aura.
Delmor slowly approached the book, he felt as if he and the book were one. He felt as if the book was his soul.
Delmor reached up to touch the book, and at this moment, an electronic bulletin board appeared in front of him like something out of a sci-fi movie.
[Ding! Congratulations on activating "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia" successfully.]
"The Apocalypse Encyclopedia? What is its effect?"
[Ding! The Apocalypse Encyclopedia has the following functions:
1. It can help you see the information of monsters and items.
2. It can provide recipes to help you craft items or weapons to survive in the apocalypse.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm 3. It has an automatic crafting function, you just need to find all the necessary materials and energy crystals to make the energy source for this function to work.]
Delmor saw the information board describing the function of "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia", and he was immediately delighted.
"Does that mean.. the apocalypse has come and I can survive in this cruel world?"
However, before Delmor had time to rejoice, he was suddenly startled. He remembered that 6 days ago, he saw Hikaru buying a lot of food.
Delmor frowned and mumbled, "He bought such a large amount of food.. could it be.. Hikaru knew the Apocalypse might come, so he hoarded food in advance."
Delmor began to feel fear: "As expected, Hikaru is not as useless as everyone thinks, everyone is deceived by his mask."
"Very dangerous. Maybe Hikaru knows a lot of other things, it's just.. he'll pretend he doesn't."
"Hm.. I can't become his enemy. At least, even if he and I can't become friends, we can't become enemies."
Delmor now felt extremely fortunate that the conflict between him and Hikaru was not too intense.
"If Hikaru knew in advance that the apocalypse might come, he could definitely survive the apocalypse. What about me?"
Delmor thought as he watched the book hovering in front of him. In the end, he made a decision that would change his life.
..
Elsewhere, Tadashi sat on the floor, among three bodies that he had drained of blood, he was looking out through the window.
At this moment, the sword in his right hand seemed to be trying to say something, it kept flashing a blood-colored aura that made him feel confused.
The sword's tentacles began to extend outward, expanding into suckers as large as those of an octopus. Then they began to suck up the black smoke outside like the pipes of vacuum cleaners.
Tadashi was startled, he felt like he couldn't control those tentacles. He didn't know what the black smoke was, but he thought that the sword would definitely not harm him.
Therefore, he decided to sit still and let the sword do what it wanted.
Moments later, Tadashi felt something enter his body, making him feel uncomfortable.
No, Tadashi felt that his body was being stretched and about to explode like a balloon.
"What the hell is going on?" Tadashi scolded himself, he felt so much pain that he wanted to pass out, but the tentacles were constantly plugging into his brain to keep him awake.
The tentacles inside his body led the black aura to gather in front of his chest, forming a black gem, inside there was a strange mark like a red eye.
The pain passed, and Tadashi panted, as he was touching his chest, he sensed the existence of the gem, and he immediately felt strange.
"This.. what is this?"
Tadashi stood up, walked over to the mirror in the distance, and looked at himself inside the mirror.
In the middle of his chest was a black gem, in the middle was a red iris-like mark, emitting a blood-colored light like a vertical eye about 5cm long.
However, what surprised Tadashi the most was that he felt that his strength seemed to have increased a lot.
A huge energy source from the jewel in the center of his chest continuously powered him.
"This gem.. is like a battery." Tadashi suddenly tried to feel the jewel, and draw some energy from within it.
He swung his left hand, and a tentacle with a diameter of about 1 cm shot out with tremendous speed from his wrist.
It easily pierced the wall in front of him like a drill.
historical
However, Tadashi could sense that the thread of the tentacle had caused him to lose some blood. He silently calculated, if he sucked the blood of an adult, he could use the skill just now 5 times.
"It seems.. this world has begun to change. Those who have money are not necessarily the ones who can rule the world."
"It is the new power that will rule this world."
Crack!
"Hm?!" Tadashi frowned as he realized he had just stepped on something.
He sat down, touched the floorboard, then knocked twice.
Pang! Pang!
"The bottom is empty?!"
He suddenly glanced at the three corpses that had become mummified by his blood sucking on the floor. It was the bodies of a man, a woman, and a child about 10 years old.
Tadashi pulled off the floor mat, revealing a hatch cover. He grabbed the handle and opened the hatch, it was dark below.
He looked to the side of the hatch, where there was a small switch and pressed it.
Nothing happened, he forgot that after the sky changed to a strange shape, all electrical devices were disabled.
However, Tadashi was unafraid, he jumped down with great confidence. Now, he had become an extremely powerful existence, therefore, he was not afraid of anything else.
It was dark below, but he could still see that the place was like a small cell. In the corner of the room, a girl with chains on her legs, was sitting on a dirty mattress, and looking at him.
