It wasn’t metal-elemental laws of nature!
It wasn’t metal-elemental power of divinity!
It wasn’t metal-elemental magic power!
It wasn’t metal-elemental Battle Aura!
So, just what exactly was it?
Meng Lei couldn’t put his finger on it, either!
All he could tell was that it was a very peculiar kind of metal-elemental energy!
There was no pain during the entire process. Additionally, the assimilation process was very quick. It didn’t last even a minute before it ended.
Yet it was exactly this short one minute’s time that made Meng Lei feel like his body had undergone an extreme change.
“What a peculiar sensation!”
Meng Lei felt as if the metal laws of nature in the universe had become his friends and his servants, allowing him to manipulate, direct, and control them!
This was a sensation that felt like he’d completely mastered metal laws of nature. It was entirely different from how his prior comprehension of the laws of nature had felt!
He’d previously already comprehended metal-elemental laws of nature, but just like how one mastered a discipline of learning, all he had achieved was merely mastering all the knowledge related to the subject of study.
He could make use of that knowledge to do certain things, such as casting spells, casting first-class spells, and casting Divine Techniques—by doing this, he was reproducing the way the spells were to be cast and applying what he had learned.
But now, he could directly command that knowledge to carry out tasks for him, such as “Cast a spell!”, “Cast a first-class spell!”, or “Cast a Divine Technique!”—he was completely commanding and controlling them!
There was a world of difference between the two!
To put it in more concrete terms, the former depleted one’s spiritual power, magic power, and power of divinity, whereas the latter depleted only a small amount of spiritual power and no magic power or power of divinity at all!
Evidently, there was a difference in intrinsic quality between the two!
Chapter 242: A Sea of Dead Bodies, The Grim Reaper’s Scythe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A metal-origin divine body! That’s the aura of a metal-origin divine body!”
Dodola was stunned. “O’ great God of Time! What exactly has Meng Lei done? Why has he suddenly obtained a metal-origin divine body for no reason whatsoever?”
Even if Dodola hadn’t recognized the metal-origin divine body at the start of Meng Lei’s assimilation process, it would have lived all these years in vain if it still couldn’t recognize it as the process went on.
A metal-origin divine body!
That was definitely a metal-origin divine body!
Meng Lei had actually inexplicably obtained a metal-origin divine body right under its nose! Dodola felt as if everything it knew had been overturned!
Origin divine bodies were an inborn characteristic!
What was the meaning of “inborn”?
It meant that the characteristic existed in one from birth! If it wasn’t there at the point of birth, then they would never have it, no matter how much they tried!
Dodola had never heard of anyone successfully modifying their body into an origin divine body after they were born!
Dodola circled Meng Lei vigorously, its eyes boring into him as if wanting to see through all of his secrets and see through him.
Meng Lei also just so happened to open his eyes at this point. A couple of sharp glints flashed across his eyes, and then, two cracks formed in the air with a rip.
Dodola promptly asked, “Be honest with me, Meng Lei. What exactly is up with the metal-origin divine body?”
“I just gained it for some inexplicable reason!”
Meng Lei blinked at Dodola.
“Some inexplicable reason...”
Dodola gnashed its teeth in frustration, feeling the urge to beat someone up. “You’re always spinning some kind of story whenever I ask you something crucial! Do you know that you’ll end up friendless if you do that?
“No, this won’t do! You must give me an honest explanation today! Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep!”
What does whether you’re able to get to sleep or not have anything to do with me?
Meng Lei secretly dissed Dodola, but nevertheless, he still answered, “I have a miraculous ability that allows me to plunder bloodlines, divine bodies, special abilities... and so on, and assimilate them into my own body so that I can become stronger!”
“What did you say?”
A huge shudder went through the utterly astounded Dodola. “Does an ability like that even exist?”
“Of course!”
Meng Lei gave Dodola a smug smile. “That’s how the Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld Phoenix, and Hundred-Armed Giant bloodlines, as well as my Teleportation, Transfer, and other special abilities came about!
“Of course, I’ll continue to plunder even more bloodlines, divine bodies, and special abilities in the future, too!”
“...”
Dodola was stunned. Only after a long while did two words come out of its mouth—”You monster!”
“Thanks for the compliment!”
A smiling Meng Lei then asked, “Do you think there’s a need for me to assimilate the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline?”
“The Steel-Winged Angel bloodline?” Dodola was slightly taken aback before it realized what Meng Lei meant. It asked, “Are you thinking of assimilating the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline?”
“I’ll assimilate it if it’s useful, but if it isn’t, then I’ll leave it.”
With a shake of his head, Meng Lei said, “I’m a very practical person. Everything I do is for the sake of power!”
“Of course it’s useful!”
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Dodola said, “The Steel-Winged Angel bloodline is in no way inferior to the Fallen Angel, Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld Phoenix, and Hundred-Armed Giant bloodlines. Assimilating it will give you lots of benefits!”
“Tell me about it in detail!”
Meng Lei perked up!
“Firstly, after you assimilate the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline, you’ll gain speed that’s as fast as the speed of light. The Angel Gods are well-known for their speed. It’s no joke!
“Secondly, you’ll also come to possess superbly strong defenses!
