Chapter 280: Birth

The ground shook more violently, the body made of coins solidified rapidly, layer upon layer like blooming stamens.

This huge coin monster was awakening, its azure color and leather-like skin texture appearing before everyone.

The upper body was a monster synthesized from sea creatures, the lower body a huge elephant with a blue mane, its tremendous roar made everyone instinctively cover their ears.

The sound like a great bell rose repeatedly, the power of the core coin being displayed without reservation.

"What is this? Hey hey hey, there are too many!" Huo Ye Yingsi said.

"It seems not the power of the core coin belonging to Meizi'er."

Anku saw what was displayed on the skin, a hint of surprise appearing on his originally handsome face.

What was exposed on the skin was not simple, but rather objects similar to barnacles covering its body.

Under the excessive combination of core coins, this monster built from stacking had traits of various beings, truly an indescribable aberrant monster.

It floated in midair, the half-elephant-like body covered densely with carapace.

Moreover, on the outside of the head that was snake-like yet not a snake, there were some protruding blood vessels and protrusions resembling meridians.

Arthropod creatures were densely attached here, using their sharp mouthparts to pierce into its body.

They writhed slightly, rapidly sucking its bodily fluids.

From the side, these arthropod creatures could also be seen with countless wounds on the tough skin, like crimson patterns covering the whole body.

"This is not the power of the core coin, but rather like an alien parasitic species."

Anku said: "Jiang Xia, what are you doing?"

"Just now Zhenmu Qingren fused three artificial coins and ten thousand cell coins into Meizi'er's body." Jiang Xia said.

"It looks like those artificial core coins not only failed to enhance essential power, but are rapidly consuming cell coins to fuel themselves."

The green light in Jiang Xia's eyes gradually faded, he turned his head to look at Anku and said.

This is the fact; these three artificial core coins, just like the ones Jiang Xia made, require enormous desire as energy.

So it has become like this now.

It contains four core coins like parasites, just like that barnacle-like appearance.

But now, the core coin Jiang Xia refined has been fully activated, beginning to display its true power.

At the same time, this scene was seen by Hongshang Guangsheng far above on a high-rise in the city center.

"Failure! Indeed, using Greed as a vessel will lead to uncontrollable berserk; one must use Oz as the vessel."

Hongshang Guangsheng looked at this giant beast, shaking his head in disappointment.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"The world will soon be reborn in desire!"

Hongshang Guangsheng walked to the glass window of the high-rise, looking at the city he built with his own hands.

"President, this is too disgusting, I'd rather not watch."

The female secretary Lizhong Huilixiang sitting on the sofa closed the notebook before her, shut her eyes, making impurity pure.

"Success!"

Zhenmu Qingren looked at the uncontrollable self, the berserk aberrant monster, and said: "As long as there is sufficient core coin, the vessel will lose control and the world's end will come."

"End and birth?"

Jiang Xia said: "To be honest, I'm not really interested, but now it seems I'm standing on the side of birth."

Jiang Xia looked from that black coin transport vehicle.

Where Zhenmu Qingren turned and left, a knight wholly white and green, full of mechanical feel, walked toward the giant beast.

He also wore a jade-green belt similar to a capsule toy.

"Yi Da Ming? It looks like Houteng still needs a bit more growth."

Jiang Xia saw clearly that the wearer of Birth was not Houteng.

Regarding Houteng's previous choice to save a companion's life, he was quite satisfied. However, it seems Houteng's physical fitness test failed.

He withdrew his gaze, looking at the constantly destroying beast, scorching flames erupting on Jiang Xia's body.

He should produce a perfect result for the chaos he caused.

A red air wave accompanied by vibration began to spread outward, the ground cracking, black fissures filled with crimson-gold lava.

The evolved core coin was bursting outward with its power, seven-colored light rising from behind Jiang Xia.

"Wow wow wow, is this the director's power?"

The one beside, wearing Birth, Yi Da Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, as a director of the Hongshang Foundation, Yi Da Ming looked at the aura bursting from Jiang Xia's body, beneath the mask his face showed some surprise and astonishment.

Although he had only recently come into contact with the Birth system, he already knew about the core coin.

Such an aura compared to a Birth that can be formed with just one cell coin is vastly stronger.

But no matter what, he also would not admit defeat.

Although the young director may be strong, he also has his own persistence.

For his dream of earning a hundred million, he would also give his all to fight the coin monster before him.

A hundred million, I have decided.

On the other side, Anku, whose face had merely felt curious about the core coin's power, now his face suddenly tensed,

his gaze locked straight onto the flame-wrapped Jiang Xia, the muscles on his face twitching unnaturally.

Immediately, his gaze drifted elsewhere, he turned away, choosing not to watch this battle.

Anku turned his back, the expression on his face slightly carrying nostalgia and bitterness.

800 years ago he also fought like this amidst fire and aurora.

Anku clenched his remaining right hand's body, silently vowing to retrieve the core coin he had lost.

If he hadn't split his body back then, he could now spread his wings in the sky and soar with his own power to the horizon.

He must retrieve the remaining part of his body; no one can stop him.

He awakened in this era in order to be fully revived; the nine Core Coins are indispensable.

Although splitting his body back then was indeed impulsive, he lost many of his own Core Coins.

But who could have imagined that after awakening, things would turn out like this?

He was supposed to be the king ruling over myriad birds, yet now he can't even fly—what irony.

Beside him, Huo Ye Yingsi watched as he turned away, his hands tightly gripping Anku, and he also silently sighed.

Although the details are unclear, he understands that Anku's right hand, which alone can be revived, is not only related to the number of Core Coins, but also has a certain connection with Anku himself.

However, deep down, Huo Ye Yingsi also felt a hint of relief.

Because this way, the Officer's body would stabilize.

Even though he now has a much better opinion of Anku, he also realizes that he and Anku will eventually clash due to their bodies.

So he does not want to see Anku gather all of his own Core Coins.

The red light faded, the seven-colored wings unfolded, and red feathers drifted down from the sky.

The bird-type Greed complete form, its body wrapped in wings of various colors, floated in the sky already stained crimson.

Like a deity.

On the battlefield, flowing molten lava rose rapidly from the ground, turning into scorching chains that bound the giant beast.

"Then I'll come too," Yi Da Ming clapped his hands, and suddenly several cell coins appeared in his hand.
