Chapter 1671: The Forgotten Sacrifice

Unknown consequences？「

His expression stalled.

Seeing the red warning prompt, Lin An's eyebrows instantly rose, and he immediately thought of many things.

But he didn't hesitate at all; after quickly confirming, he began to examine it carefully.

Is it dangerous?

No matter how much the difficulty increases, it won't get worse than now...

「Optimal Solution 3: 」

「1: Exchange War Star Level Props【Shen Yuan Reconstruction Injection-Empty】」

「2: Inject Amoeba Original Fluid into other Fifth Stage bodies, then use Cain's Blade to kill, expected points: 36-68？」

「3: After killing, gain attribute boost, consume points, execute Solution 1 or 2. Expected combat power increase: %+%」

「4: After obtaining 100 points, exchange Disaster Power information. Expected combat power increase:??? 」

「Warning: Option 4 may lead to unknown consequences; please choose carefully. »

The information is very short.

Completely different from the detailed explanations of the previous two solutions, in this final optimal solution, Lin An actually sensed a heavy, twisted meaning from between the lines.

It seemed as if this solution should not have appeared.

Without further explanation, it gave three branches.

In this final optimal solution, there is no longer any optimal; only choices leading to the unknown remain.

Especially...

Cain's Blade? Amoeba?

Lin An looked solemnly at the key Props given by the system: 【Shen Yuan Reconstruction Injection】

Only seen on the slowly rotating image, a syringe uniformly dark purple, as if flesh and metal twisted together, was strikingly conspicuous.

Even just displaying the image, Lin An could still feel this thing's eeriness.

Evil, dark.

Looking closely, in the empty syringe tube, countless distorted faces seemed to be screaming.

But when he focused his gaze again, the faces in the tube disappeared.

Just like..

It merely once existed.

This thing..?

The image zoomed in.

「Shen Yuan Reconstruction Injection (Empty)」

「Props Info: War Star Level, Special, Carrier, Consumed, Sealed」

「Props Description: Once filled with disaster, it is now starving. It craves to eat something... then nurture death。」

「Props Effect: This Props can carry S-rank memes and Special Events; after carrying, it can be used limitedly with your blood. »

「Props Usage: Obvious」

Blood.. Meme injection!?

Turning his wrist, Lin An instinctively took out the Amoeba Worm Original Fluid he carried.

As his gaze moved back and forth between the fluid and the syringe, an extremely absurd idea suddenly popped up.

Although the system didn't explain what exactly to do, looking at the fluid, syringe, and Cain's Blade—three key words—he couldn't fail to see their connection.

「This thing.. can inject Amoeba Original Fluid!? 」

「No.. it's to fill it then inject it into others. After injection, even if related to me? 」

「Cain's Blade... 」

Lin An took a deep breath.

An unbelievable skill, almost forgotten by him, flashed into his mind.

That was Cain's Blade's final skill!

【Sacrifice: Kill a close unit or same-bloodline individual to gain corresponding attribute boost.】

【Explanation: A weapon from Cain, kill your beloved and brothers, you will gain great power! (Closeness determined by the system, maybe your child, maybe your wife...)】

「This solution means injecting Amoeba Original Fluid into other Fifth Stage bodies!? 」

「Kill them, and I can absorb their power!? 」

Lin An's heart jolted violently, and he instantly raised his left-hand Cain's Blade before him.

The sharp, dark-red blade, like a narrow mirror, reflected his eyes.

He never imagined the system's solution would be this, and that it could actually be done!?

「Does a person injected with Amoeba Worm Original Fluid count as a close-bloodline unit? 」

「But.. 」

No.

Lin An frowned tightly.

He had indeed thought of this.

As early as when he first obtained Cain's Blade, he noticed this weapon's special effect.

At that time, for him, he would not let go of anything that could make him stronger.

Naturally, he had also thought more than once about how to use this ability.

Killing the people around him, he was unwilling; that was his last bottom line.

If he could create some 'people', he would unhesitatingly open the killing ban.

But after multiple tests, including in the Amoeba Worm dungeon, Lin An clearly remembered that the fanatics injected with the amoeba original liquid did not meet the conditions at all.

Over time, he almost forgot this skill.

"Is it because of the injector and my blood?"

"Using this prop, one can turn the amoeba original liquid into..."

Staring fixedly at the Shen Yuan injector, seeing the price of 60 points, Lin An roughly made a judgment in his mind.

If the system can provide this method, then it must be useful.

Although 60 points isn't too high a price, for an empty injector it's actually a 'sky-high price'.

This Shen Yuan injector, before it's emptied, its level is certainly not just Battle Star.

Some strange abilities are also nothing out of the ordinary.

"If it really can be done..."

Kill those Fifth Stage, then use Cain's Blade to devour their power...

The combat power increase, in the system's estimate, is far higher than previous plans.

According to the best outcome calculation, maybe I can really kill those captives and directly obtain Fifth Stage power!

At worst, I can also disguise myself for a bit longer!

His gaze gradually turned icy, yet his heart burned hot.

If it really can be done, that is indeed the optimal solution.

This method of killing and devouring is essentially the same as his experience in the Alien Species world!

And compared to in the Alien Species world..

"Eat those Fifth Stage.."

"I will... gain what?"

He slowly put down Cain's Blade in his hand, a flash of bloodlust crossed Lin An's eyes.

If he remembers correctly, outside there is a batch of Fifth Stage captives.

That is a 'gift' sent to him by Hei Di and others.

That really is a big gift.
