Chapter 1422: Fusion in the Reverse Direction

Fusion in the Reverse Direction

Knowing that he would undoubtedly die, Pu Guizong chose to self-detonate at the first moment. Even if he died, he wanted to leave a "gift" for these two World-Ending Calamities...

But in the next second, he was stunned.

He found that his half-swollen body was directly frozen in place. The aura that had originally been surging within his body gradually retracted, as if it fundamentally hadn't received his self-detonation command... Pu Guizong blinked slightly, finding that the Thought Calamity's eyes were even closer to him.

The self-detonation that Pu Guizong thought was going smoothly just now was merely an illusion created by the Thought Calamity.

In reality, he merely lost focus for a brief moment in place, standing motionless like a sculpture under the Calamity of Taboo's control...

"You..."

Pu Guizong's eyes widened, just as he was about to say something,

In the next moment, that surging Thought Storm actually frantically drilled into Pu Guizong's head. The aura of World-Ending and the aura of a human demigod actually began to fuse eerily!!

"This is... fusion...?"

"So... this... was your goal..."

Pu Guizong's pupils uncontrollably widened. During this process, his thoughts mingled with the Thought Calamity's thoughts. He seemed to have realized the Thought Calamity's true intention, his mind shaking violently!

Calamities were attempting to fuse with humans!!

If this matter were to spread to the former human domains, it would probably only be treated as a fantasy...

Up until now, the "fusion" experiments had all researched humans fusing with Calamities. Whether it was the Aurora Base or the Integration Faction, they all started from the standpoint of "humans." In everyone's habitual thinking, fusion naturally took humans as the starting point. Those Calamities were merely things akin to wild beasts. How could clumsy entities like them think of fusing with humans?

This was the pride engraved in humanity's bones. They believed from the bottom of their hearts that they were the intelligent species, and it had been so since ancient times. Even if they suffered deeply from the pain of Calamity invasions, it hadn't changed this way of thinking. After all, in their eyes, there was no essential difference between Calamity invasions and lions or tigers attacking human cities.

But everything happening before his eyes completely overturned Pu Guizong's cognition...

At this moment, he figured out a lot.

No wonder this group of World-Ending Calamities had begun attacking the human domains like crazy... If they wanted to survive the Red Star's Return, they had to leave the Gray World and hide in Earth.

And humans and Calamities were different. The two originated from two different worlds, so the sources of their abilities were also distinct.

After humans stepped into the demigod domain, their domain could resist the Grey Realm Invasion, maintaining an entire domain within Earth's environment. After Calamities advanced to World-Ending, their domain was called a World-Destroying Domain. This domain would maintain a large area within the Gray World's environment...

Therefore, facing the impact of the Red Star's Return, a World-Ending's domain was completely useless. After all, once the Red Star returned, the first thing it would pierce through would definitely be the Gray World covering Earth... Staying in the Gray World, they would only die faster.

Their only path to survival was to hide in Earth.

But to hide in Earth, they needed the protection of a human demigod's domain. This was also the area where the human higher-ups had always been confused. If the World-Ending Calamities attacked the human domains and killed the human demigods, then the human domains would also sink into the Gray World. How would these Calamities evade the Red Star then?

But now... the Thought Calamity had provided the standard answer.

Reverse fusion.

As long as they fused with a human demigod and possessed a human demigod's domain, then they would have the chance to survive the Red Star's impact!

Perhaps the Thought Calamity had already thought of this method hundreds of years ago. It controlling Teacher Ye wasn't purely to make him backstab humanity at some future stage, much less to find amusement for itself...

It controlled Teacher Ye, conducted fusion experiments, continuously developed the Integration Faction for hundreds of years to obtain data samples, and its ultimate goal was precisely for this day!

Pu Guizong understood everything,

But it was already too late...

His body, which had already been occupied by curses, completely lost control. Another consciousness began to take over his body. His skin began to evolve into an eerie gray, like the color on the surface of the storm... And those human pupils were completely occupied by messy tangles of string.

As the Thought Calamity merged into Pu Guizong's body, its World-Ending aura began to weaken and retract. After all, this body was too old and weak. If it wanted to completely fuse with this physical body, it had to actively relinquish a portion of its power to prevent blowing this old man apart.

But Pu Guizong's own human aura, and even the Divine Pathway within his body, hadn't been polluted. An ingenious balance formed between the two.

He was still a demigod,

A demigod possessing human power and a Calamity's aura.

This was the most perfect and successful fusion in history...

And the one who completed it... was a World-Ending Calamity.

The Calamity of Taboo loosened the tentacles binding Pu Guizong. That aged body floated in mid-air. Masses of Thought Storms were born and annihilated around him, and those tightly closed pupils also slowly opened.

"Phew——"

Pu Guizong... no, the Thought Calamity let out a long breath.

"What a pity... The South Sea Domain only left behind an old man. According to the original plan, the Lord of the South Sea was the optimal choice." The Thought Calamity's face was full of regret.

The Calamity of Taboo at the side let out a low rumble.

"I know, but I had to be the first to try and see if my method was feasible... Looking at it now, my many years of research were correct." The Thought Calamity waved its hand. "In the other domains, there are still enough of the Nine Lords. There will definitely be a fusion target suitable for you."

In the Thought Calamity's original plan, the South Sea Domain had two Ninth-Tier demigods, the Lord of the South Sea and Pu Guizong, exactly one for it and one for the Calamity of Taboo... Who knew that the Lord of the South Sea would temporarily go to support other domains, only leaving one for them.

"The fusion plan is feasible. It's also time to notify the other World-Endings over there and have them take action."

The Thought Calamity closed its eyes, and a thought was rapidly sent out by it, transmitting across space to the other World-Ending Calamities.

But in the next second, he began coughing violently.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

The Thought Calamity furrowed its brows tightly, coughing uncontrollably. A full ten or more seconds passed before it recovered, its face somewhat ugly.

The quality of this body was even worse than it had imagined, and this was even under the circumstances that the Thought Calamity had already been working hard to repair this body's functions... If the Thought Calamity were given some more time, it could make this body recover more vitality, just like how it made the former Ye Mu regain his youth...

But unfortunately, the Red Star's Return was imminent now. There wasn't enough time left, so it could only make do with it for now.

After the Thought Calamity sent out the signal, its gaze fell upon the shattered turtle shell. Almost the entire South Sea Domain had been occupied by Calamities. Only an extremely small number of figures were still bitterly struggling.

The Thought Calamity didn't dare to use its abilities casually, afraid that this body would fall apart on the spot. Thus, it waved its hand at the Calamity of Taboo beside it,

"Hurry up and finish them off. It's time for us to head to the next human domain."
