Chapter 2676: 2676
“What a strong and proud man,” Han Sen thought in admiration . Han Sen wasn’t suspicious of the man, so he moved to sit down himself . He cast The Story of Genes to recover the power he had lost .
Heart Connection was a skill that concentrated all of the power inside one’s body into a single precise point . That power would all be spent in a single use, and it would take a long time to recover .
Han Sen had used Heart Connection because he had a way to recover in a short period of time, if necessary . He wouldn’t have to wait too long before he could fight again .
However, if Shale was willing to wait for him, then Han Sen wouldn’t have to use his method of accelerated recovery .
Up until that moment, the three half-deifieds who escaped hadn’t realized that Han Sen’s power had been exhausted . They regretted how quickly they had been to flee . They should have immediately attacked Han Sen again .
The Very High masters of the three half-deified silkworms shook their heads in dismay .
The Very High selected a silkworm based on three things: talent, power, and personality . Their personality was difficult to fully judge, however . The truth of a person’s character was only revealed during real life and death moments . If the silkworm’s personality was shown to be poor or weak during the silkworm bouts, there was every chance that their Very High master might cast them away . That was the purpose of this battle royale .
Although Gru had lost, the Very High who had signed a contract with him was happy with his personality . Gru wasn’t going to be cast out . But the mantis-man and the other three were probably going to be discarded .
Of course, that was just how things looked at the moment . If the silkworms worked hard and showed that they really were resilient and determined people, there was a slim chance of them earning their masters’ love back . Only the dead mantis-man had no chance of that .
With Shale sitting nearby, no other silkworm would get close to Han Sen . He continued casting The Story of Genes to recover his power . He didn’t do anything else .
The Fox woman approached Shale and glanced at Han Sen, who was focusing on his geno arts . “Shale, why aren’t you doing anything?”
“I came to Outer Sky to practice, not to kill,” Shale said expressionlessly .
“Have you forgotten that you’re no longer deified? With the power he just demonstrated, if you allow him to recover, you might not win . Are you really willing to risk giving up the Apollo Set?” the woman said with a blink .
Shale didn’t respond, which prompted the woman to continue . “If you don’t want to do it, then I will . ”
After that, the woman walked up to Han Sen . A strange light began to glow around her fingers .
“I told him I would protect him for ten hours . If you get any closer, I will consider you an enemy,” Shale said .
“You will regret this . This universe only progresses by the strong feeding on the weak . It is survival of the fittest . If you continue to act like this, you won’t be strong enough to lift the rest of your race,” the woman said .
“Maybe . ” Shale didn’t bother arguing .
Seeing that Shale had no intention of arguing with her further, the woman rolled her eyes and laughed . “Shale, Shale, Shale . You ate the Demon Fruit and fell from your deified rank . You might not beat Han Sen, but you still sound so proud . I’m afraid that in this universe, not many people can be as proud as you . ”

Her words could have been either insult or praise, but one thing was clear; she had pitched her voice loud enough for those watching the contest to hear .
Many of the Very High hadn’t known that Shale had eaten a Demon Fruit . They were shocked to hear this .
“Shale ate Demon Fruit?” Liyu Zhen and Li Xue Cheng looked ill .
The deified Shale was previously considered the strongest fighter taking part in the silkworm bouts, but if he had eaten a Demon Fruit and his rank had fallen, there was the very real chance of him not winning .
“No wonder Open Sky Elder was willing to wager his Open Sky jewelry . He must have known that Shale ate the Demon Fruit and received a downgrade,” Li Xue Cheng gnashed his teeth . He pointed at Shale and screamed, “You idiot! You dropped down to half-deified, and yet you are still behaving this proudly? Kill him while he is weak . ”
Right now, Li Xue Cheng wanted to grab Shale’s hand and use it to strike Han Sen down .
Liyu Zhen’s face turned green, but then it turned white . Clearly, there were a lot of sour emotions running through his heart at that moment .
They almost coughed up blood because of how Shale was behaving . Exquisite and Li Keer, on the other hand, were delighted . Shale wasn’t deified anymore, and that increased Han Sen’s chances of winning . Therefore, things suddenly didn’t seem as hopeless anymore .
The audience might have been surprised by the news of Shale’s fallen rank, but for the silkworms in the valley, the revelation breathed new life into this contest .

In the foothills of the valley, a Very High man squinted . “Shale ate a Demon Fruit and became half-deified? I thought there was no hope of reaching first place . I guess now there is . ”
In a heartbeat, the Very High man had teleported away and appeared on the other side of the valley . He popped into existence next to the three half-deified silkworms that had just been fighting Han Sen earlier .
“Mo Fang…” When the three of them saw the Very High man, they were given a shock . Alarmed, they gathered up all their power .
Out of the twelve silkworms, aside from Shale and Han Sen, Mo Fang could be regarded as the most famous . In fact, some silkworms were more afraid of Mo Fang than they were of Han Sen and Shale .
Although Mo Fang was only half-deified, he was one of the Very High . That fact alone made him unlike any other silkworm .
“Don’t worry, guys . I am here to cooperate with you three . I intend to bring you no harm,” Mo Fang said with a smile .
“Cooperate? You mean against Shale?” one of the Extreme King asked Mo Fang .
Mo Fang hadn’t joined them until after the woman mentioned that Shale’s rank had fallen . They could easily guess what he was going to do .
“Not bad . If Shale was still deified, I would have stood no chance . But now that he is just half-deified, why don’t we cooperate and kick him out of the match? Then, we can finish off the weakened Han Sen,” Mo Fang said .

“Fighting Shale won’t allow us to reach first place in the fight, though . You will be the one reaping the benefits . Where does that leave us? Why would we risk our necks for you?” the Aichi archer asked skeptically .
“Forgive me for speaking so bluntly, but with the power you guys have, you will likely be the weakest of everyone in this valley . Aside from the one who quit the match, you three will be fighting for last place . If you guys are willing to help me, once we are done, we can continue cooperating . We can knock the other silkworms out of the valley, so I can become first and you three can occupy the second, third, and fourth places,” Mo Fang said .
“Are you serious?” Pleased grins spread across the faces of the three half-deifieds . They had been cooperating from the beginning because they already knew their powers were weak .
“Since when would one of the Very High not live up to their word?” Mo Fang said proudly .
Two of the Extreme King half-deifieds looked at each other, then one of them turned back to Mo Fang .
“Okay, we’re in . ”
If another silkworm had come there asking that they work together, they would have hesitated . However, Mo Fang was well-known . Although he was a silkworm, he was one of the Very High . And being on Very High land, cooperating with him would be the safest thing to do .
