A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 80 Parasite

Xu Lie skillfully concocted potions. It must be said that the Sequence 4 Parasite Potion is probably the most terrifying-looking of all the potions Xu Lie has concocted so far.

The juice is yellowish-green, somewhat like the juice squeezed out when someone squeezes a bunch of insects to death with one hand.

There were even many small trinkets, like insect corpses and fragments, floating in the potion, seemingly dead but still able to move.

It looks unappetizing, but Xu Lie has more than twenty clones.

The main body casually grabbed one of the clones: "Steal a bit of my disgusting, nauseating thoughts."

The clone that was being pulled didn't react in time, while the other clones scrambled to grab it: "You can steal the main body? I'll do it! Don't try to take it from me!"

"I'm quite adept at stealing people now, so it's foolproof if the original body chooses me."

"Let me do it. I used to work at Genji Heavy Industries, where I stole the most ideas!"

The clones got excited, and the original body asked them to steal it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if they missed this chance, they didn't know when they would be able to steal the original body again.

However, when there were bad guys inside the clone, and the argument went on without a result, Xu Lie's main body's somewhat disdainful look at the appearance of the potion had become calm.

This potion, filled with insect fragments, looks like a bottle of water; I'll drink it all in one gulp.

The still-arguing clones fell silent, quickly sizing each other up. Without a doubt, there were cunning clones who would strike first before the All-Righteous Conference could reach a decision.

Xu Lie's main body could no longer care about them. He only felt that the insect fragments inside the potion he had drunk were slowly taking over his body and gradually spreading to his soul.

It's as if they want to turn the tables and take the initiative to parasitize him!

Xu Lie felt as if his body was being peeled apart, his main soul and the many souls that had split off to become clones were all facing the parasitism of the magic potion insects.

Just then, the shriveled corpse of the third-generation creature beside them, which was so withered that it no longer resembled a dragon, began to emit a rich, delicious aroma.

The delicious taste, which no one in the real world could possibly smell, attracted those magical insects, causing them to pause their erosion of Xu Lie's soul and instead try to possess it.

Xu Lie quickly understood the purpose of the ritual. He and his many clones were filled with resistance, but these magical insects preferred souls that were willing to feed them to those that resisted.

At the same time, a furious and tyrannical roar spread from the depths of his spiritual body, as if the third-generation dragon, whose body had been drained and whose soul had been stolen, was reviving deep within Xu Lie's spirit.

The dragons' tyrannical spirit resonated with something, hoping to drag Xu Lie's consciousness into the abyss and urging him to engage in an endless battle with the invading magical insects.

Xu Lie was not swayed by the tyranny; he tried his best to control his emotions and keep his mind clear.

The magical insects greedily swarmed around the strange nutrients offered by the third generation of the species, only to find that the inside had already become an empty shell when they happily crawled inside.

The dragon's body, flesh, soul, and consciousness had long been completely squeezed out, leaving not a single hair behind.

The unconscious potion-infused insects were still wandering around inside, searching foolishly, as if they were certain that such a delicious thing would not disappear.

Xu Lie watched with amusement as the insects, bewildered, jumped into the cage, and were easily contained, controlled, and absorbed by him.

Outside, more than twenty clones, forming a large circle around the main body, all took a step back at the same moment.

The main body underwent a slight twist, and worms with twelve segments sprouted from its hair, face, arms, and torso.

From top to bottom and from left to right, the emerging worms gathered together, forming twelve worm swarms.

The worms continued to assemble and squeeze together, as if trying to form the shape of clock hands, but ultimately failed to do so.

The main body was still undergoing ascension, and none of the clones spoke. They remained silent, watching the incomplete mythical creature form of the main body before them.

A moment later, the twelve-ringed worms all over Xu Lie's body retracted back into his body, as if they had never appeared. His main body then opened its eyes. Sensing the large amount of information transmitted by the parasite potion, it quickly closed them again.

This is a true qualitative change. The core theft ability has been fundamentally improved, and the theft range has been greatly increased. It can now steal conceptual things such as life, distance, and mobility.

Not to mention the parasitism that has been used many times before, it can even steal distance to teleport during battle and steal positions to swap each other's positions.

If the opponent is physically weak, Xu Lie only needs to expend a little bit of spiritual energy to easily steal the opponent's mobility and instantly paralyze them.

Conversely, if the opponent is physically strong, this act of stealing action ability will consume a lot of spiritual energy.

Of course, when dealing with such a physically powerful enemy, it would be more effective to choose to steal internal organs that consume less energy.

The enhanced thieving ability also allows you to keep stolen items for a longer period of time, no longer subject to time restrictions.

Take the many Words of Power stolen before, for example. When the Words of Power are stolen by the Dream Thief, it's as if the Words of Power are sealed for a week.

If a host steals a word of power, how long it is sealed depends on the host's mood. If the host is willing to return it, the seal will be lifted quickly; if not, the host will never be able to use the word of power again.

Of course, you can only steal one item at a time. If you want to use it, that's a different story. You can only use it for two hours, and it will be automatically returned after you're done.

If Xu Lie finds it useful and doesn't want to return it, there are ways to exploit the bug.

That is, when you're halfway through using the time limit, or almost at the two-hour limit, you can have a Time Worm that follows you steal it, and then have your main body steal it back, or have another Time Worm steal it back, and you can refresh the two-hour usage time.

Thus, one can achieve the eternal power of words: judgment, or the eternal power of words: monarchy.

Unfortunately, the underlying logic of theft is that once the original owner is stolen, the stolen item cannot be used. Therefore, whether it is Xu Lie's original body or the Time Worm's clone, it can only be used individually.

Since it's impossible for the main body and more than twenty clones to release more than twenty judgments at the same time, they can only do it in turns.

After arriving at the Sequence 4 Parasite, Xu Lie no longer had to worry about the burden that using high-level Words of Power would bring him.

It possesses an incomplete mythical creature form, and if its vital organs are not fatally wounded, it can slowly recover from multiple injuries.

At worst, one can recover from injuries through superficial parasitism, or steal enough life through deep parasitism to offset the burden brought by high-level incantations.

Besides the fundamental improvement in stealing ability, the greatest improvement is in the ability to create clones.

When the Parasite Potion is digested well, Xu Lie can create clones.

Xu Lie can now create up to 50 clones, and as the potion is further digested, he can create even more clones.

After all, Xu Lie had played the role of a parasite before, starting by parasitizing Huang Tiekou, then parasitizing the Sheqi Bajia and the Menggui Clan, and just now he had parasitized the Sandai Seed.

A small portion of it had already been digested when the potion was taken.

In addition, the abilities of those who were previously in the same sequence have also been amplified due to their advancement to demigod status.

For example, his eloquence. Now, without expending any spiritual energy, Xu Lie can make ordinary people believe him with just a few words.

For example, the application of occult knowledge, even the most basic divination, can yield more detailed information.

It can be described as a comprehensive strengthening.
