Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 780 An inside-outside alliance? A trap!

The Borg family residence.

Lukeberg's face was grim as he looked at the motionless Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards on the ground and said, "What's their condition now? Why aren't they awake yet?"

"Chieftain, they seem to be fine, they appear to be...sleeping?"

An elderly man with a receding hairline hesitated for a moment before reporting the condition of the four soldiers. After speaking, he unconsciously took a few steps back.

Sure enough, Luke burst into laughter and curses after hearing the old man's words.

"Sleeping? The Holy Light Guardians can actually sleep?!"

Luke's eyes blazed with fury, and white light flashed in his hands. Seth Borg immediately pulled Luke back, signaling the old man to leave.

"Big brother, calm down."

Hearing Seth's words, Luke calmed down a bit, but his expression was still extremely ugly.

"Second brother, what do you think about this? Did that kid find out?"

"It shouldn't be. I had someone look at the alchemy array he gave us, and it's been improved in many ways compared to before. If he had discovered it, there would have been no need for all this trouble."

Seth shook his head and said, "In comparison, I'm more inclined to believe that those guys wanted to probe our strength."

"The Heavenly Fox Tribe... those stinky foxes could indeed be involved."

Upon hearing this, Luke gradually calmed down, waved his hand, and immediately several Holy Light Guards appeared and took the soldiers away.

"Second brother, what did the Sky Fox Tribe say?"

"Luke asked."

"They agreed to our plan and were willing to return the land they had previously occupied, only asking that we provide them with a certain number of slaves each year."

Seth smiled and said, "I've already signed a contract with that old celestial fox. Even if they want to refuse, they can't."

"A contract? If that's the case, doesn't that leave us with no room for maneuver?"

Luke was somewhat worried upon hearing this, but Seth was completely unconcerned. A surge of shadow power appeared in his hand, and with a flick of his brow, a curse mark quietly shattered.

"That kid's research is still incomplete, but it's really strong. At least it's enough to help me deceive the contract."

"Hahaha... Second brother, you're still as cunning as ever. Entrusting this matter to you was the right decision!"

Upon hearing this, Luke burst into laughter and said, "When the time comes, you will lead the Sky Fox Tribe to attack the capital, and then I will lead the Holy Light Guard to drive you away, sacrificing family for the greater good."

"With my brother and I working in the open and in the shadows, the world will be entirely under our control!"

Seth's lips curled slightly as he said, "If our ancestors hadn't been a little too lenient back then, the First Emperor wouldn't have had a chance to ascend the throne. Now that so many years have passed, it's time for our Borg family to step into the limelight."

"That's right."

Luke nodded, then suddenly his expression turned serious. "By the way," he said, "how's the human transmutation project going?"

"There's not much progress. Whether it's the power of holy light, the power of shadow, or other types of ferocious beasts, they will still be assimilated after being overused."

Seth shook his head, as if remembering something, and said, "There's something else. One of the testing facilities we set up has gone missing. I'm worried that someone might have discovered our plan."

Luke remained silent upon hearing this, then pondered for a moment before saying, "In that case, let's abandon all those experimental facilities and bring everyone back."

"Big brother, aren't you going to give it a try?"

Seth was somewhat surprised to hear this, while Luke rolled up his sleeves, revealing a white arm covered in runes.

"After His Majesty sealed our power into his arm, he did not propose any new solutions. I estimate that he has abandoned this plan."

Luke gently stroked his arm, a morbid obsession flashing in his eyes, and said, "So many experiments have been conducted without success. Unless His Majesty is willing to take action, I'm afraid no one in the world can design a perfect human transmutation array."

"So, brother, what should we do next? Give up the power of the angels?"

Seth frowned slightly. Although he had not inherited the power of the angels, his power of shadow was not bad either. If he could solve Luke's problem, he would also benefit.

"Of course we won't give up. Michelle has found a new solution: to entrust the power of the angels to the bird of paradise. Although it requires the talent of a beast tamer, there is no need to worry about being assimilated."

"Bird of Paradise... I understand."

Seth nodded slightly, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, we should get to work. Things haven't been peaceful lately, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, we need to execute the plan as soon as possible."

Luke stood up and said.

"I understand. I will contact the Tianhu tribe now and ask them to send troops within three days."

Seth looked at Luke and said, "As for the garrison, I'll find a way to transfer them away. The rest is up to you, brother."

"Yes, I will be waiting for you in the capital."

After saying this, the two brothers hugged tightly, and Seth quickly left. Luke also left the room after a brief silence.

After the two left, Bai Qi slowly emerged from the corner, staring blankly in the direction Luke had gone.

"I have to say, the Borg family is really good at playing games. They control both the light and the darkness, and when others get beaten up, no one cares."

Bai Qi sighed. He was shocked when he learned that the Borg family was related to the Death Table, but he never imagined that thousands of years ago, the Borg family was one with light and darkness.

"So this counts as putting all your eggs in one basket? Tsk, I'm suddenly starting to suspect that the Borg family also created Hades."

Bai Qi thought about it more and more and more likely it was true, and a sudden impulse rose in his heart.

If we dismantle the Borg family here, will they be unable to cause so much trouble in the future?

In the end, however, Bai Qi still chose to give up.

After transmigrating to this world, Bai Qi had a strange feeling that his every move was being watched by something.

This feeling intensified, especially after he learned that the underground palace was likely the Great Tomb of Twilight.

"Hopefully, it won't be eliminated as a bug over time."

Bai Qi sighed helplessly and disappeared into the darkness once again.

……

The Dark Emperor's Palace.

Bai Qi told the Dark Emperor about his discoveries one by one, and Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha also made some discoveries. After comparing them one by one, everyone reached a consensus.

The Heavenly Fox Tribe will appear in the capital within five days at most!

"I didn't expect them to move so quickly, so I need to speed things up."

After hearing the conclusions reached by Bai Qi and the other two, the Dark Emperor no longer concealed his intentions and carefully took out a gray metal sphere from a secret realm ring.

"This is the bomb Your Majesty was talking about, isn't it?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately realized what was happening and asked.

"That's right, this one is the real thing. The others are all experimental samples, and even if they explode, their power will be limited."

The Dark Emperor gently placed the sphere into a groove and said, "As long as the Heavenly Fox Tribe enters the capital's territory, even legendary ferocious beasts, I guarantee they will never come out!"

The capital city area? Historical records indicate that the razing of the capital was done by the Dark Emperor himself?

"But Your Majesty, wouldn't this also affect the people of the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chen immediately retorted with a question.

"Don't worry about that. Luke suggested to me half a month ago that we hold an alchemy conference, which would gather people from the entire capital. Now it seems that this is also part of his plan."

The Dark Emperor smiled faintly and said, "At that time, we just need to make some arrangements in advance and move the people to a safe place together."

"In that case, I can help."

Bai Qi summoned Delta and said, "My pet has spatial abilities. With some additional methods, I can take everyone away at the same time."

"That would be best."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Emperor's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then I'll trouble you to help me arrange things for the people. I'll handle everything else."

"Don't you need our help with anything?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha immediately asked.

"Help? No need. This bomb is extremely dangerous. Even I wouldn't dare to try it myself. If you can't evacuate to a safe area beforehand, I can't guarantee your safety."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Emperor refused without hesitation, saying, "This bomb embodies all my understanding of alchemy. Once it explodes, no matter what defensive measures we take, they will be ineffective. So you'd better not take the risk."

"That amazing?"

Bai Qi became interested and asked curiously.

Do you know the essence of alchemy?

When Bai Qi asked the question, the Dark Emperor kept it a secret.

"Essence? Is it equivalent exchange?"

"That's right, but do you know what all alchemists are pursuing?"

Bai Qi shook his head upon hearing this. Although he had been studying alchemy for some time, he had never really considered such a profound question.

"Creating something from nothing—that is the greatest pursuit of us alchemists."

The Dark Emperor opened his palm, and an alchemical array instantly took shape.

"The essence of alchemy is equivalent exchange; whatever you want to gain, you need to pay an equal price."

"You can get anything you want as long as you pay the price."

"But this very limitation greatly restricts the alchemist's actions, so I only pursue the realm of creating something from nothing."

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't achieve that."

As he spoke, the Dark Emperor paused, then said, "And my bomb starts from this ultimate pursuit, but goes against the grain, from existence to non-existence."

Simply put, it's about returning everything to nothingness!

"Return to nothingness? A nothingness bomb?"

After hearing the Dark Emperor's account, Bai Qi was completely stunned.

If what the Dark Emperor said can come true, then the destructive power of this Void Bomb may have already surpassed that of annihilation weapons in later generations.

With such a weapon, let alone legendary beasts, even demigod beasts would probably perish on the spot!

I suddenly feel a bit sorry for the Borg family. Their well-planned inside-outside cooperation might turn into a trap.
