Chapter 2238 - 2231: I Can Handle This Thing

"How could there be such a bizarre thing?" Zhang Menglong felt that this Quantum Ghost was even more terrifying than the soul power he encountered last time under the Blood Pond.

Both silently destroy a person’s soul, but this Quantum Ghost sends a chill down the spine.

"Gou Dan, do you have a way to deal with this thing?" Zhang Menglong watched as the Quantum Ghost crept closer, unable to suppress his own panic.

[Dean, although this Quantum Ghost is terrifying, since you can see it now, you can harm its entity the moment it attacks you. Just use destructive Energy to destroy it.]

"Got it!" Zhang Menglong took a deep breath. Human fear comes from the unknown; if there is still fear of a known entity, it means the firepower isn’t intense enough.

"Captain, watch out!" Zhang Menglong didn’t expect the Quantum Ghost to target Captain Eno first instead of himself.

He immediately pulled her behind him, and just as the Quantum Ghost’s tail was about to pierce Zhang Menglong, he reached out and grabbed it!

At that moment, Zhang Menglong saw an indescribable emotion in the eyes of the Quantum Ghost.

Logically, even if it killed this human instantaneously, it shouldn’t have been visible. It thought the eye contact was just a coincidence, never expecting he could actually see it.

But almost instantly, the Quantum Ghost went into a collapsed state again because its existence’s law was to not be discovered or observed by anyone. Zhang Menglong was an exception, but others remained limited by this constraint.

To others, Zhang Menglong seemed like he was grabbing air, appearing extremely uncanny.

"Mr. Zhang, you saw it?" Eno asked tentatively.

Before Zhang Menglong protected her, Eno indeed felt a strong sense of danger, and she vaguely sensed something standing right in front of her, watching intently.

"Yeah, we exchanged looks." Zhang Menglong observed the Quantum roaming the air, seemingly looking for an opportunity to attack. Yet wherever it moved, Zhang Menglong’s gaze followed.

No matter whom it aimed to attack in the cabin, Zhang Menglong could react immediately and intercept it.

"What exactly is it?" Eno asked again.

"A Life Form existing in a very peculiar way," Zhang Menglong said, "You can’t observe its existence, only subtly perceive it. You might only truly feel it at the moment of being attacked or killed."

Zhang Menglong’s words seemed redundant; if attacked or killed, even a fool would know something was there.

If he’s unharmed and nothing happens, what does it matter even if something’s there?

"Is there no way to prevent such an attack?" Eno felt a deep sense of helplessness.

"It’s difficult," Zhang Menglong said, "This thing is almost an idealistic existence. If you think it exists, it exists. If you think it doesn’t, it can also not exist."

Zhang Menglong’s explanation was convoluted, nearly leaving Eno confused.

"But with so many people around, why didn’t anyone else notice when it attacked?" Eno asked.

"Because during its attack, it establishes a special connection with you. Only you can feel its presence; others, even standing beside you, watching you die, can’t sense it. And there’s no way to destroy it before it attacks you."

"Isn’t that invincible?"

"You don’t need to worry about all that. Just understand that I have a way to deal with such creatures." Zhang Menglong withdrew his hand, and upon contact with the Quantum Ghost, his body began altering its genetic sequence.

Under Eno’s astonished gaze, Zhang Menglong’s body slowly became semi-transparent, ultimately disappearing from her sight, yet Eno could still sense Zhang Menglong standing in front of her!

Through contact with the Quantum Ghost, Zhang Menglong’s body had automatically analyzed the other’s Life Form and characteristics, beginning to simulate this Life Form, and now he was transforming from a physical form into a Quantum Life!

"Mr. Zhang, are you still here?" Eno reached out, trying to touch the air in front of her but found nothing.

"I am everywhere!" Suddenly, these words appeared before Eno’s eyes.

"Now that everyone’s a Quantum Life, it’s no longer just me taking the hits!" Zhang Menglong’s body, condensed into a quantum state, nearly simultaneously transformed with the Quantum Ghost into a life state invisible to outsiders.

"Boom!" Zhang Menglong punched the Quantum Ghost’s tail, and instantly he and the Quantum Ghost both shifted into quantum states, but shortly after, they re-consolidated, leading to a second clash!

"Do you all feel there’s an intense battle happening around us?" Eno looked at the others on the ship.

But others looked baffled, seeing nothing, feeling nothing, and not even the high-tech energy detectors on the ship picked up any movements.

It was an almost mystical force, akin to the commonly referred Sixth Sense, which only those with a particularly strong Sixth Sense could faintly feel Life Forms in a quantum state and traces of battle in such scenarios.

"It’s so bizarre. Can this thing really be defeated?" Eno was utterly worried about the future of the Moruo Holy Nation, facing such foes where they could only await slaughter like lambs.

"Captain, where’s Mr. Zhang?" It dawned on them that Zhang Menglong, such a conspicuous figure, had vanished right under their noses.

"I’m not sure either, but my intuition tells me there’s a fierce battle occurring around us, involving Mr. Zhang and that mysterious assassin."

"Intuition... feeling... do we have to rely on such elusive things to judge now?" Instantly, everyone felt deeply dejected.

"No need to be discouraged, even the Dominator wouldn’t be able to do anything." Zhang Menglong’s voice came from the space, and as everyone searched for the source, Zhang Menglong slowly reappeared in the place where he had vanished.

And beneath him lay a black creature over two meters long!

The black creature was motionless, seemingly dead, but still exuded a very dangerous aura.

"Mr. Zhang, this thing is..."

"That’s right, it’s the Quantum Ghost," Zhang Menglong kicked the corpse on the ground. "Once dead, it enters a defined state, unable to maintain its quantum nature."

"Heavens, you captured something even the Dominator couldn’t?!" Eno was immensely surprised.

"That’s not the main point," Zhang Menglong said, "The point now is, how many of these Quantum Ghosts are there, and where did they come from?"
