Chapter 293: Dinosaur Alliance

The Dinosaur Core Coin surged into Jiang Xia's body, and in that instant Jiang Xia's pure black pupils were instantly tinged with a layer of violet.

Only a roar of the void was heard, and four violet Core Coins emitted a spreading Electric Arc inside Jiang Xia, attempting to turn his body into Dinosaur Greed.

Jiang Xia did not resist; he wanted to see the power of the four Dinosaur Core Coins.

He continued plating the dishes, then turned off the stove.

There was no such thing as fainting; the Dinosaur Core Coin's power was still insufficient to make him lose consciousness.

Dinosaur Greed should be the most special one; it can overcome all things formed by desire, and one could say it was created to deal with Ozu or other Greeds.

It represents void, an empty hollow with nothing at all.

It attracted Huo Ye Yingsi because his massive desire had once been emptied, and Zhen Mu intends to reset the world to zero, so they were chosen by the Dinosaur Core Coins, their bodies gradually transforming into Dinosaur Greed.

The strength of the two Dinosaur Greeds has no hierarchy; in other words, the combat power they can exert depends solely on their holder.

Deep inside, Huo Ye Yingsi has constantly resisted the force that could turn him into a monster.

Zhen Mu Qingren is different; not only does he cooperate, his desire also aligns perfectly with the concept represented by the Dinosaur Core Coins.

Zhen Mu Qingren, unlike Huo Ye Yingsi, has not forgotten his own desire.

On the contrary, his desire to turn the world into void has run through his entire life,

so he will not go berserk like Huo Ye Yingsi; instead, he can freely control the Dinosaur Core Coins.

And this only changed when Anku gave his already damaged consciousness Core Coin to Huo Ye Yingsi; at that moment Huo Ye Yingsi truly remembered his past desire and, in one breath, expelled seven core Dinosaur Core Coins from his body.

However, the situation has now changed; four of them have already entered Jiang Xia's body.

The Dinosaur Core Coins, which expel all desire, charge confidently through Jiang Xia's body.

The moment they entered Jiang Xia, they knew their choice was correct.

This body not only does not resist but cooperates greatly; the internal void is frighteningly large, and the transformation proceeds unusually smoothly.

In just a few minutes, the Dinosaur Core Coins have completed the body's alteration, quietly residing within Jiang Xia.

And Jiang Xia, who had just finished cooking the meal, exposed his arms which glowed with violet light; his skin was instantly covered with coarse purple fur, a pair of translucent violet dragon wings unfurled on his back, and his hands turned into claws.

A Triceratops relief adorns his chest, and Tyrannosaurus bones cover his skull, giving his head a fossil‑like appearance that looks especially hideous.

Not bad, quite handsome, fitting that fierce, cool vibe of a monster.

Jiang Xia examined his body; the coins on his body surged, and in the blink of an eye he reverted to human form.

Handsome as he is, he can't eat with that look on him, can he?

Moreover, Jiang Xia watches the Dinosaur Core Coins trying to affect him, attempting to turn his five senses into void.

His pupils turn golden in an instant, becoming a dazzling sun.

And the Dinosaur Core Coins, which thought everything was fine, now can't help but tremble.

The forces of several world histories already borne within Jiang Xia's body are now causing it trouble.

That pure white power is turning into a white dragon, whose eyes are as golden as the ocean, and it watches these coins that are still smaller than its own teeth.

The Dinosaur Core Coins try to unite against it, yet they cannot even pierce the white dragon's skin.

The white dragon opens its mouth and swallows the united Dinosaur Core Coins in one gulp, turning them into Jiang Xia's Evolution material.

When the white dragon devours the Core Coins, Jiang Xia's body pauses briefly, but in the blink of an eye returns to calm, as if nothing happened.

If there were ten, it might take a bit of effort, but with only four unconscious Dinosaur Coins still inside him, it is a piece of cake.

He finished tidying the kitchen, returning everything to its place one by one; droplets on the clean ceramic bowls were quickly sterilized by the high heat, and he opened the transparent cabinet, arranging the bowls in order.

Anyway, people still need to eat, and indulging a bit of appetite now and then isn't bad.

Only those who have sensations truly deserve to be called alive; after experiencing them, stripping them away is extremely cruel to anyone, turning a person into a walking corpse.

A person without desire is already dead in spirit, and the Core Coin turning a person into Greed physically destroys them slowly.

Unfortunately, both of the above points are taken by Huo Ye Yingsi.

A desireless person becomes muddled and chaotic, and the Core Coin devours their body.

Under the hazy violet light, consciousness becomes dim and obscure, sinking completely into ignorance and insensitivity, going mad, out of control, and berserk.

This is the price of possessing the ability to destroy desire; only by becoming ignorant and insensible oneself can one devour everything.

Not everyone can avoid the side effects of possessing special powers, and Jiang Xia is no exception.

The motorcycle's engine roars across the asphalt, its tires rolling with smoke generated by high‑speed friction.

Jiang Xia's gaze merely swept over the surroundings, lingering for a brief instant before moving on.

He rode his fast motorcycle toward the hospital where Huo Ye Yingsi was.

He pursues power out of his own selfishness, but that does not mean he will choose to act solely for himself.

"Hey, Yingsi, why do you have a Core Coin inside you? I was only gone a short while, and this huge thing happened."

Anku rushed into the ward, seeing Huo Ye Yingsi lying on the bed as if completely fine, and immediately grabbed Yingsi's collar.

"Anku, calm down, I understand how you feel. All routine examinations have been done, and the doctor suggests staying in the hospital for observation for a while."

Quan Xinwu gently pulled Anku away; he fully understands Anku's feelings.

It is precisely because of that understanding that he let Huo Ye Yingsi stay for observation.

The Core Coin, left in a human body for too long, will eventually devour the whole person.

Such experiments were already conducted by Alchemical Art practitioners 800 years ago; however, they did not use precious Core Coins, but rather inserted some crudely made half‑finished products into human bodies.

Watching them go berserk, lose control, become slaves to desire, and finally exhaust all human desire, converting it into cellular coins.

Now that they hear there is a Core Coin inside Huo Ye Yingsi, how can Anku stay calm? Even if it is a genuine Core Coin that can remain stable inside a human body, it would still have a huge impact on the body.

"With current human methods, the Core Coin cannot be extracted from the body—damn it."

We can only wait for a while and then try to forcefully extract the Core Coin from the body. Anku thought.

"Anku, I'm fine; I just feel like I suddenly fell asleep,"

Huo Ye Yingsi got down from the bed and smiled at Anku, "It's fine, don't worry."

Hearing Huo Ye Yingsi's words, Anku's complexion improved somewhat, though it only looked a little better.

At that moment, Anku suddenly sensed something, and the three Core Coins inside Huo Ye Yingsi's body began to tremble, his eyes turning purple in an instant.

"It's yummy." Anku and Huo Ye Yingsi exchanged a glance, then sprinted down the hospital corridor.

Quan Xinwu beside them also followed them out of the hospital's main door.

"It seems the Zhenmu-made yummy first needs to find its kind; with only three of the ten left, he already feels a sense of crisis."

Jiang Xia took off his helmet, got down from the piloting vendor, and rolled up his sleeves.

Looking ahead, two pterosaur-like yummy blocked his way.

These two had just been born from candles, each containing a cell coin inside.

The yummy created by Dinosaur Greed can only be directed at inanimate objects.

Candles, shoes, ice cubes—these everyday items can all serve as material for nurturing yummy.

The two yummy, one purple and one white, look almost identical in appearance, differing only in their revealed gender.

The purple one leans slightly male, while the white one has very distinct feminine features.

They look like a pair of pterosaur spouses.

"This feeling, I've finally found it—the feeling of kin." The purple pterosaur spoke.

"Kin, yet enemies!" the white pterosaur shouted sharply.

The pterosaur couple swiftly flapped their wings, and two red fireballs, each containing the power of a hand grenade, condensed in the blink of an eye.

Twining together in midair, they turned into a fierce attack, emitting a sharp sound as they tore through the air, aiming at Jiang Xia, who had just removed his helmet and was standing on the piloting vendor.

That red energy projectile pierced the air's resistance, and in almost an instant it was right before Jiang Xia.

Immediately, the projectile exploded violently, blinding flames engulfing Jiang Xia's body, carrying a fierce impact and the boom of the explosion, spreading outward.

"This power is already stronger than most yummy; no wonder it's a Core Coin forged from fantasy."

This attack's power was indeed enough to make Jiang Xia glance sideways; it's a B-rank monster, but it has a special advantage against Oz wielding ordinary Core Coins, capable of nullifying the Core Coin's abilities.

However, such an attack is only mid-to-low level among the opponents Jiang Xia has faced before.

Such an attack could be dodged, but there was no need; amidst the explosion's firelight, the three purple Core Coins transformed into different arcs, isolating all the flames on Jiang Xia's exterior.

Extreme cold emanated from his body, like a tidal surge akin to a pair of great hands; merely sweeping over the flame's surface erased the surrounding flames born of the explosion.

At that moment, Huo Ye Yingsi and Anku also arrived on the scene, seeing these two unfamiliar yummy whose type was indiscernible, Huo Ye Yingsi directly prepared to transform into Oz.

Seeing Huo Ye Yingsi's movement, Jiang Xia immediately said, "Huo Ye, it's better not to casually transform into Oz before the issue with the Core Coin inside you is resolved; leave this to me here."

Beside him, upon hearing Jiang Xia's words, Anku tightly clenched the coin he had intended to give Huo Ye Yingsi, then placed it back into the coin storage box.

Being cautious now is never wrong; before clarifying things, one really shouldn't use Oz's power, Anku thought, so he simply closed the coin storage box.

"That's right."

Jiang Xia nodded, refocusing his gaze on the two pterosaur yummy.

Before overcoming the berserk issue, Huo Ye Yingsi truly shouldn't fight anymore; moreover, once battle begins, the Dinosaur Greed Core Coin will seek a chance to escape, ultimately losing control.

Watching the two pterosaur yummy gradually approach, if an ordinary person faced this situation it would indeed be extremely dangerous.

But Jiang Xia didn't mind the yummy approaching him; a belt appeared out of thin air around his waist, and the Dinosaur Greed Core Coins flying around him, as if finding home, slipped into their corresponding slots, the waist-mounted scanner automatically sweeping over.

A clear ringing rang out, the purple light halo inside the belt surged violently, three purple coins of the same color shot out and converged together.

"Ptera! Tricera! Tyranno! Pu·To·Tyranno, Zaurus! (Dinosaur Union)"

Purple light burst forth; the white undershirt, limbs all covered in purple armor, the pterosaur-like faceplate opened backward, the triceratops' horns became shoulder protrusions, and the tyrannosaurus' legs supported the ground.

It differs greatly from other Oz unions, feeling extremely dangerous and violent.

A flash of light suddenly crossed Jiang Xia's faceplate, and he suddenly felt something summoning him.

That purplish-red body slightly crouched, like a tyrannosaurus' arm plunged deep underground; as Jiang Xia pulled his hand from the ground, a massive axe forged from a tyrannosaurus skull was now grasped in his hand.

The Holy Crest Explosive Bite Dragon is the exclusive weapon of the Dinosaur Union, possessing the ability to reduce all desires to nothing.

When the pterosaur yummy saw Jiang Xia wielding the Holy Crest Explosive Bite Dragon approaching, a chill instantly rose in its heart.

Although it felt no fear, it now found itself unable to move; looking down, it saw that an extreme cold domain had already solidified its entire body without it noticing.

In that instant, it permanently lost consciousness; the white pterosaur yummy was thus frozen into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Jiang Xia walked on the ice, gazing at the ice sculpture before him, and gave it a light swing.

With a crack, the ice sculpture spread countless fissures, shattering in the blink of an eye into fragments smaller than a fingernail.

Before the Dinosaur Union, ordinary yummy couldn't even withstand a single move.

A crystalline beam of light shot out from the fragments, caught by Jiang Xia—it was precisely the cell coin that composed it.

The other pterosaur yummy, witnessing this scene, let out a wild howl the moment Jiang Xia's gaze locked onto it, and swiftly flapped its wings.

Under everyone's gaze, its body turned into a shadow that suddenly accelerated, racing straight for the sky.

It fled in a most pathetic way; although it was a living being made of cell coins, it had no desire to vanish from this world.

Jiang Xia watched as the pterosaur yummy became a tiny dot in the sky, then shoved the cell coin he had just snatched into the Holy Crest Explosive Bite Dragon axe, pressing hard; the original great axe transformed into a hand cannon.

The tyrannosaurus-like maw devoured the cell coin without missing a bit.

Its pair of golden dragon eyes blazed to life, releasing a deafening roar; purple-to-black energy surged forth from nowhere, condensing the destructive-desire power into a single point.

A bright light flared on Jiang Xia's chest, and a pair of deep-purple dragon wings unfurled from his back.

Boom!

He beat his wings, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, that purple light pursuing the sky-bound pterosaur yummy at unimaginable speed.

Aim, fire! The pterosaur yummy fleeing at high speed suddenly sensed something approaching; a blinding light erupted behind it.

It instinctively looked back, and a streak emitting purple Electric Arc sliced straight through the air, shooting toward it.

Point-blank range! Unavoidable! The dark-purple light wave pierced its body, a piercing boom exploded in the sky; it didn't even have time to make a sound before vanishing.

That cell coin, too, turned to dust under the purple-black impact.

Jiang Xia slowly descended, the dragon wings behind him also retracted back onto Ouzi's back.

He thought, and dispelled the Dinosaur Union's transformation.
