I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1033 The Power of Cluster

While the mycelium was nurturing the "perfect posture", the black ball continued to expand. As if sensing the changes in the fungus community, the black ball expanded faster and faster.

Although the volume is changing, the energy inside has not reduced its lethality. Wherever it goes, it will still be swallowed up, leaving only darkness.

The violent airflow swept the broken hyphae into it, and white "ribbons" floated everywhere in the air, while the bloody remains of flesh and blood were firmly fixed to the ground by the hyphae, as if this was the last foundation of those creatures.

The body of the "White Waiter" is becoming smoother and smoother, its ceramic-like skin is glowing faintly, and countless hyphae are still merging into it under its feet, but its body has not grown larger. Instead, it has maintained its current posture and continues to become harder.

Seeing that the two were about to collide, Mo Ling, who had been observing, held his breath.

He felt that the hyphae should not be able to withstand the black energy. After all, it was a force that could even destroy the "map". Mo Ling, who had witnessed it more than once, certainly knew the lethality of that force.

However, when "black" and "white" really collided, a scene that shocked Mo Ling appeared:
The smooth "ceramic mycelium man" entered the range of the black ball and was eroded by the black energy at the same time. It was indeed unable to resist the devouring of that energy.

However, the black ball's swallowing speed was not as fast as imagined.

The mycelium man did not turn into ashes immediately, but stood firmly in the range of the black ball. The destructive force continuously turned the fungus layer on its surface into white smoke, but in an instant the internal mycelium would replace it and fill the holes caused by erosion.

It did not choose a head-on confrontation, but chose to use the powerful growth ability of mycelium to fight a war of attrition. In an extremely compressed posture, it used high-density aggregation to achieve "timely repair" and forcibly gain a foothold in the black ball.

But the black ball not only eroded the mycelium, but also the ground. Soon, the ground could no longer stand. Countless white ribbons were tied behind the mycelium man. Like it, those ribbons were highly compressed, and the surface emitted a ceramic-like glow.

The mycelium man leaped up and went straight to the center of the black ball.

"It wants to find the waiter directly!" Mo Ling, who had been observing the battle, immediately understood its thoughts.

He resisted the erosion of the black energy, found the waiter, and then found a way to interrupt the waiter's skills.

In the black sphere raging with energy, two waiters, one black and one white, met each other. The real waiter seemed to have not realized what was happening before he was pounced on by the flying mycelium man. Countless mycelium ribbons spread to the waiter with erosion and wrapped him like a mummy.

The energy was cut off and the black ball outside faded instantly. The energy that was just raging disappeared in an instant. On the huge hole swallowed by the black ball, only a white waiter and a tightly wrapped mummy were left.

The situation of the battle changed in an instant, and the waiter, who had originally had the upper hand, was now trapped.

However, the waiter in the mummy was still making a nonchalant comment:

"This time, you have a new trick. Not bad, not bad."

"It's a wonderful idea to use high-density hyphae to form a new body."

"But why do you want to become like me? Never mind. It's not a big deal. You can become whatever you want..."

"This is the power of the cluster. I knew that your potential was more than this. It is you who have limited yourselves to weak individuals. You should have abandoned your limitations and evolved together like you are doing now."

"Let me ask you one more question. Why do you want to live in this dark and damp environment? Don't you want to see the outside world? Don't you want to learn more about the hotel? Don't you want to find the meaning of your existence? The world is not as simple as you see it."

“The reason why life evolves is to pursue more powerful power, and it is because only with powerful power can we have the right to freedom.”

“The freedom to go wherever you want, the freedom to know whatever you want to know…” “Only with power can you break through illusions and see the truth.”

While the waiter was still giving these strange advices, the mycelium streamers wrapped around him had begun to tighten, and under the terrifying force, a sound of metal cracking could be heard from within the mummy.

"Yes, that's the power..."

Even though he was about to be crushed, the waiter was still expounding on his theory.

The mummy soon lost its "human form" and the waiter's voice began to become unclear.

"When we meet again next time... I hope you've learned some new tricks."

"You should think carefully about what you want..."

"Don't be muddleheaded all day long..."

"Just like me..."

After he uttered his last words, a loud "bang" came from inside the mummy, as if the metal inside shattered in an instant.

Mo Ling looked into the mycelium streamers and saw a pile of scattered parts.

After the waiter fell silent, the mycelium ribbon was kneaded tightly for a while until the metal inside was completely broken apart, and then it slowly released.

Parts and fragments fell from the sky with a crash, falling into the huge hole that had just been eroded by the black ball, and quickly disappeared into the endless void.

The banquet hall waiter who called himself "Omega Zero" came and went quickly. He was chattering just now, but now he has turned into scattered parts.

After dealing with the waiter, the mycelium man quickly returned to the open space before. The mycelium on his body began to disperse, returning to the flesh and blood on the ground, and began to stitch together the bodies that had become fragments.

They seemed to have completely ignored the waiter's words and chose to return to their weak bodies and continue living as "individuals".

Mo Ling just looked for a while and then looked away.

He was a little worried about Li Luo. If the mycelium on Li Luo's body continued to spread, would he also become a part of the mycelium cluster?

Although it seems that consciousness will be retained, the essence of life has changed, and by then the "thoughts" may also be distorted.

But Mo Ling could do nothing but worry. His teleportation ability was not accurate enough to peel off the mycelium. Now, he could only stare at Li Luo who was lying motionless.

He controlled the block and hit Li Luo's body, but now Li Luo had completely turned into a piece of "wood".

"What should I do?"

Just when he was confused, he suddenly discovered that the mycelium on Li Luo's body began to slowly fade away...
