Chapter 46: Risky Plan

"So, what exactly is going on here?"

Three people- two boys and one girl looked at a suspicious crack that had opened in the air.

They were hiding several hundred meters away, behind a large rock. It was outside the forest.

They had never seen something like this. Their little minds couldn’t comprehend the crack.

"Is it a Spatial Crack? Could it be the start of the portal formation?"

Levi whispered.

"No, a portal is a technological achievement of the alien race, but this doesn’t look like technology."

Mike answered.

"Yeah! It feels more like someone tore space apart, and the space didn’t collapse; instead remained stable afterward."

Sonya nodded and presented her point of view.

At this moment, Levi’s ears suddenly twitched as he grabbed Mike and Sonya, pulling them down.

"Shhh!"

He immediately placed his index finger in front of his mouth.

At this moment, Levi did his best to explain the situation by blinking his eyes. Then, he slowly moved back.

If he remembered correctly, there was a small crack on this rock. He searched for that crack and quickly looked out from it.

The rock was completely hiding them. Their presence wasn’t very high, and maybe those two weren’t good sensors.

Levi stared at two men. They were wearing some kind of mask to cover their face. Their clothes were also very simple.

One wore a black hoodie with black pants, while the other wore pink pants with a yellow jacket.

Surprisingly, they were covered from head to toe. When they moved, Levi noticed that even their hands were covered in gloves.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but get suspicious about their presence.

First of all, that crack was anything but normal.

Second, why would they take out strange items to test that crack?

Why did he call a large jar a strange item?

Because the most logical move to check this spatial crack would be to bring equipment that had displays or at least wires.

But they were just bringing a jar.

Like a fucking jar!

Levi’s mind was almost blown away by their weirdness. And it didn’t end there.

They put the jar, slapped strange charms over it, and sat down. Then, they took out a few cards and started playing cards.

In front of the Spatial Crack.

If Levi were a normal person, he wouldn’t have noticed anything.

But he was anything but normal.

His Evil Eyes were activated. As soon as he activated those eyes, he sensed fear next to him.

He knew it belonged to his friends. Then, he sensed excitement from afar.

It was weird. He didn’t see through emotions as it was stated, but instead, when he activated those eyes, his brain instantly understood their emotions.

It was like his eyes did capture the emotions and transfer them to his brain, but after his brain registered those emotions, he felt them.

Fear and Excitement!

’What could it be? What could be the reason behind their excitement?’

[Host, would you like my help?]

’Huh? You can help me with this?’

Levi’s eyes widened in surprise.

[Yes, Host! This is my purpose. Helping you!]

Levi’s lips twitched. He almost forgot this spirit was made entirely to help him become an Evil God.

He chose to ignore that for now and asked.

’Can you tell me what they are doing with that jar?’

[Host, they are collecting energy. If you look closely with your Evil Eyes, you will notice this energy is nothing like the cosmic energy around you.]

That surprised Levi.

He quickly looked around. Although it was a bit difficult, he could see some small particles of energy in the air.

Then, he noticed a slightly different energy entering the jar through the spatial crack.

’Don’t tell me that’s Genesis Energy? But why can I sense a weird malice in that energy?’

[Host, that is the Genesis Energy of a dead being. If this energy is used for the purpose of awakening, the awakened ones will either become a portal for those with a similar Genesis signature or their brain will become polluted.]

’Gulp!’

Levi’s body froze.

He instantly thought of the worst-case scenario in his mind. This energy being used in his own small town.

[Do not worry, Host! Your parents are Martial Masters. This energy will only affect mortals.]

System Spirit valued Levi and his family, while Levi understood that this would cause worldwide destruction and death.

Because the worst thing that came to Levi’s mind was the death of several awakeners from the Old Human Era.

During that Era, many of the humans lost their minds, but they did fight against the alien invasion and monsters.

During that fight, many of them did die.

’System, they should be dead, right, and they only awakened superpowers. How can they still have such an effect?’

[Host, Cosmic Energy is nothing more than a diluted version of Genesis Energy, but people can still reach the Martial God Realm using Cosmic Energy.]

[So, being affected by Genesis Energy can bring an immense evolution to their bodies. Even though they are dead, their cells remain alive.]

[More importantly, their evolution will be slow. Even if they die, their body parts will keep evolving.]

[Those charms are specifically made to collect the Genesis Energy of such beings. If possible, you can try to enter that crack.]

’Wait, wait, wait, what?’

[Yes, the body parts of beings evolved through Genesis Energy can be a massive treasure. If you devour them, you can start the first stage of Nine Heaven Chaos Body Technique.]

’This is a very risky plan, System.’

Levi gulped heavily. He also understood the implication of this idea, but the problem was he didn’t know what was behind that crack.

He would be heading to absolute chaos or absolute darkness. Maybe it would just be a place full of different body parts.

’More importantly, if the cells are still alive, what’s stopping it from attacking me? This is the same being that could fight on Martial Emperors or a level above.’

’I am just a Martial Apprentice.’

That was true. That was the reason why Levi was hesitating. He didn’t fear danger, but he didn’t want to just recklessly put himself in danger.

That wouldn’t be a good idea.

Especially with Mike and Sonya being here.

[Yes, I understand the danger of this place. But this could change the future of your friends.]

’Huh? System, are you thinking for them?’

Levi’s eyes widened in shock as he asked.

[I think of many things that can help you become an Evil God.]

’Well, we will leave that part aside. If they are involved in this, wouldn’t that energy deprive them of their mind?’

Levi asked.

[Host, what do you think is the most notable ability of an Evil God?]

Levi scratched his head.

’I don’t know. How am I supposed to know that?’

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he remembered something and said.

’Wait, could it be you- not you, but the way the system earns Evil Points?’

[Yes! The most notable ability of my creator was to absorb the negative emotions of living beings.]

[Since living beings could constantly generate more and more negative emotions, even if they are stripped of those emotions, it will only be temporary.]

[If you have not noticed, you can stop running your blood energy for a moment. You will understand the difference.]

Hearing his words, Levi thought for a moment and stopped the flow of his blood energy.

As soon as he did that, nothing happened.

Literally, the air around him was still pungent, but the depressing killing intent seemed to have disappeared.

[There is a certain risk, Host. I won’t deny the risk, but it is also an opportunity for you.]

[The System can absorb the negative emotions that have remained in that place, but there is a chance that those body parts retain some of their original mind.]

[So, the decision is yours, Host. I am just here to help you.]

Hearing the system’s answer, Levi thought for a moment and turned towards his friends.

He touched his watch, ear, and closed the distance between his fingers.

Mike immediately understood and decreased the volume of the watch and any vibration.

Sonya only realized that after she saw him do that and followed his actions.

Then, Levi started typing a message.

His message was simple.

[There is a treasure behind that crack. We can go there and take that treasure, but it will be risky. That treasure can change our lives forever.]

[So, do you want to take this risk?]

After sending them a message, he started typing another message. This time, it was for Mary, and he made everything clear through his message.

The position of two people, possibly Grand Martial Artists or Martial Masters, since they couldn’t hear them from hundreds of meters away.

The chance of finding a treasure that could change her life forever, and no longer would she need to worry about her brother.

Also, the fact that her brother had agreed.

If Mike agreed, Mary wouldn’t be left behind.
