Chapter 71: Diablo is Back Again
“Ugh… Oh… Power, give me more power!”
Diablo groaned as he felt the surging power swirling inside his body.
“Stop it. Diablo, the power within you has reached its peak. If you continue to stockpile it, you’ll put your body at great risk. In the worst-case scenario, your heart might not withstand the pressure and could explode.”
Gilbaris watched Diablo’s condition, trying to dissuade him from this reckless behavior. Even though they were Ultimate Life Forms, they were still biological beings, and there was always a limit to the energy their bodies could store. Overloading could have severe consequences, just like how any other organism might burst from overeating.
“I don’t need your concern, Gilbaris. Just watch how I defeat Aierjisi and Weirafiya single-handedly and bring them both back! For the future of our kind, my body can take it, so give me more power!”
“Diablo, you can’t just keep pushing yourself. One person can’t pave the way for our kin’s future; we must work together as three.”
“No need for that. I can handle this! So, just give me the power!”
“Diablo…”
Seeing Diablo stubbornly demanding more power, Gilbaris worried about the severe consequences if he really pushed his body beyond its limits.
“Well, since he’s asking for power like this, Gilbaris, just give it to him. Let him wreak some havoc alone for a bit. Besides, as comrades, we should believe in his strength, right?”
Titan stepped behind Gilbaris, backing up Diablo.
“Titan, you’re on his side too? Seriously… Well, if that’s the case, I’ll give him more power. But Diablo, if I notice any problems with your body, I will immediately cut off the energy supply, got it?”
“No problem! Bring it on!”
“Alright, you all, proceed.”
Gilbaris ordered the operators nearby to once again funnel Adrian particles into Diablo.
“Ugh… Ooooh!!!”
This time, Diablo’s reaction was much more intense than before. His body, already at its limit, swelled up painfully as the energy was forcibly poured into him.
“Ah!”
After a scream, Diablo’s enhancement chamber exploded, turning into a heap of scrap metal.
“Diablo? Are you okay, Diablo? If you can hear me, reply!”
Forget about the wrecked chamber; Gilbaris was more concerned about Diablo’s safety inside.
“I’m fine, don’t worry! Look, I managed to withstand all this power!”
Amidst the ruins of the enhancement chamber, Diablo stood up, having absorbed the energy and becoming even more powerful, with significant changes to his appearance.
“You, are you Diablo? Why do you look… different?”
Gilbaris stared in disbelief at Diablo. Did the power enhancement come with a color change too?
“This is the change that comes from surpassing limits! I feel absolutely amazing, better than ever! Now I’m heading to Panimir to bring Aierjisi back!”
With his newfound strength, Diablo was eager to head to Panimir and easily take down Aierjisi.
“You’re not going to stop him? How surprising.”
Titan expected Gilbaris to at least try to hold Diablo back, yet he did nothing of the sort.
“Now that Diablo possesses power far beyond ours, even if I wanted to stop him, it’d be pointless. Let’s see what he can actually do with this power that surpasses his limits.”
After calling over a few people to clean up the wreckage of the enhancement chamber, Gilbaris and Titan left. They opened a wormhole to see what kind of chaos Diablo could unleash this time.
“La la la la~ La la la~”
Meanwhile, Aierjisi was humming a cheerful tune while washing herself. It was a delightful little luxury, even in such a cold place.
“Aier, how long are you going to take? It’s been almost an hour!”
From outside, Yake’s impatient voice broke in; he was also waiting for his turn. Aierjisi had won the washing order during rock-paper-scissors, but this little princess was taking far too long!
“What’s the rush? Don’t you know girls take a long time in the bath? If you’re that impatient, you can always go wash in another room.”
Inherited from the original owner’s meticulous bathing habits, Guanyu subconsciously took his time ensuring every inch of his body was cleaned thoroughly.
Boom!
Suddenly, an enormous tremor shook the entire Royal Palace, startling Aierjisi.
“What? Was that an earthquake?”
“I’m not sure, but let’s get out of here. Aier, hurry up!”
“Just a moment, I’m almost done.”
Still unaware of what was happening, Aierjisi quickly dried off and changed her clothes, dreading what might happen if the tremors continued.
“Mr. Yake! Where’s Aierjisi?”
Gaia burst into the room, spotting only Yake. He hurriedly asked him where Aierjisi was.
“Right here, Gaia! What’s going on? Was that an earthquake?”
Just as Aierjisi emerged from the bathroom.
“No, it’s that guy, Diablo, he’s back again!”
“What? Here? Now? Seriously, do these guys ever sleep? I’m going to check it out!”
Aierjisi’s blood pressure immediately skyrocketed. She rushed to the window, only to see Diablo messing around, punching the Royal Palace’s barrier.
“Are you flipping kidding me?! Coming here to fight at this hour? You break anything, you owe me!”
Aierjisi couldn’t hold back any longer. She was enjoying a relaxing bath, only to be interrupted by this lunatic. Her frustration instantly turned her face into a rainbow of wrinkles.
“Aierjisi, stop talking and come out to fight like a Roman!”
“Fight my foot! It’s the middle of the night! Look at the time! You don’t sleep, but I need to! I’m temporarily refusing your challenge; come back during the day if you want to brawl!”
With that, Aierjisi angrily slammed the window shut. Seriously, she was fuming.
