Villain Cultivator

Chapter 551: Nani?!

After Brocell managed to drive away Wang Yun with his trump card, he rushed to the 100th floor, where he had secretly relocated the dungeon core here.

The room was located on the far north of the metal root of Miaomiao. For now, his dungeon was safe, and he could easily move the core elsewhere if he needed to.

Brocell entered the dungeon core room and stayed there, protecting the core room.

While he was at it, he glanced at his system menu, checking the status of his newest creation.

A few days ago, Brocell’s dungeon system had an annual discount event, and all items in the dungeon shop were 50%-90% off!

Using this opportunity, Brocell sacrificed all his Dungeon Points to buy the blueprint that he had always wanted. It was the cheapest one among all First Generation War Marionette blueprints as it was incomplete. 

After buying the thing, Brocell used every resource he had to create one! He even sacrificed several golems and element cores to generate enough dungeon points to buy the materials from his mysterious system.

Brocell went all-in, and the result was worth it. He obtained an immortal as a subordinate even though its strength was only 0.5% of its true potential.

The main reason for this investment was the war droid’s true appearance. It resembled Miaomiao!

All war droids had the face of Miaomiao!

Although the identities of the system’s war droids were fishy, Brocell decided to use one anyway.

“I bought your fucking blueprint with all my dungeon points. You’d better fucking be useful, Samael!”

…

First Generation War Marionette: Code Name Samael (Soulless Version)

Samael was the 13th War Marionette that an almighty being had created for the sole purpose of being a sacrificial pawn. Samael’s best expertise was cultivator hunting. Transmigrators, reincarnators, and local fate bearers were all his prey when he was alive.

This copy of Samael lacks the soul of the original. However, if you can obtain a similar soul and insert it into this body, you will obtain a powerful Archangel of Death as a servant!

Cultivation Level: One-Star Constellation Immortal (0.5% Potential)

Loyalty: 65/100

Status: Nervous

Current Task: Attacking Intruders.

…

Brocell doubted his eyes. He reread the description of the war droid again. However, he didn’t misread it.

“It can get nervous?”

Since the war droid seemed to be agitated by something, Brocell thought that an immortal friend of Miaomiao might be nearby.

He grumbled and fell to deep thought.

Everything was not in his favor. Miaomiao didn’t fight like a gentleman, but he externally destroyed his dungeon with brute force.

Since dealing with Miaomiao, whose face was the same as all war droids, might be troublesome. Brocell decided to avoid fighting him until he had a stronger army of immortals under his arsenal.

His target was not only Miaomiao. Devil and all archangels were Brocell’s goals.

Brocell wanted their souls to complete his war droid army!

“Pixie, get ready to evacuate.”

The face of a blue-haired android appeared on the communication screen, “Commander, the probability of us successfully repelling the invaders is 62%. Are you sure that you want to retreat?”

“That means we have a 38% chance of losing. That’s too high, Pixie. I won’t gamble.”

“Understood. We shall relocate our main dungeon to our secondary base. Please choose the base that you wish to relocate.”

Brocell opened a map menu, which displayed the world map of Golden Heavenly Goose Planet. Without hesitation, he picked the most dangerous place to be in.

The Holy Land Continent

“Holy Land Continent Base, are you sure?”

“Do it.”

“Affirmative. I shall open a portal to the Holy Land Continent Base at once. What should we do with this base’s dungeon core?”

Brocell smirked. Once the relocation was completed, this dungeon core would turn into a dummy core while the one under the Holy Land Continent would become Brocell’s heart.

“Overcharge it. Make it go kaboom.”

“Affirmative. Charging the Aves Continent Core.”

“Don’t detonate it yet. Withdraw Samael and move our supplies to the new base first.”

…

Meanwhile, the newest soldier of Brocell, aka Samael, couldn’t stop attacking the metal root.

He sensed a dangerous presence inside the root, and he hated it. He wanted to destroy it as soon as possible.

But as Samael was in the middle of punching the invisible barriers and the surface of the root, Pixie’s voice sounded in his mind.

‘Retreat, Samael.’

Samael stopped moving, but his fist trembled.

“No.”

For the first time, Samael rejected Pixie and Brocell’s order.

‘Retreat, NOW!’

“NO!”

Samael resumed punching the metal root. He applied Soul Essence into his fists.

BOOM

This time, his fist broke through all barriers as if they were a thin sheet of paper. It also pierced into the metal root.

Samael rejoiced. Finally, this stupid thing was about to be broken, and he could kill the thing that he hated.

But as Samael was about to pull his hand out, he sensed the presence of another being, whose life signature resembled the soul that he hated.

…

Inside the root, Miaomiao caught a thread of Samael’s existence karma with his tail. He stared at it in bemusement.

“Who the fuck is this guy? Why is his karma so strange?”

Miaomiao began reading its karma. However, it contained no other memory than two faces of two individuals.

The first one was Brocell, who created this incomplete war marionette.

The second one was the giant eye that Miaomiao couldn’t apprehend. This existence was beyond Miaomiao’s understanding even though he experienced three timelines through the memory of his counterparts.

This type of existence reminded Miaomiao of the boatman and Susano. These people seemed to be unaffected by karma or the law of this universe.

One word came to Miaomiao’s mind – Sages.

‘Goddammit! Beyond immortals, there are deities and Dao Gods! Beyond the deities, there are sages! Is Brocell’s backer a fucking sage?’

Miaomiao’s killing intent soared. Although he wanted to go out and kill the thing that had been attacking the root, he pestered Guo Jia.

“When can I attack or go out? The root is about to break!”

Guo Jia’s voice was still as calm as ever, ‘Stay there and don’t move. Keep expanding the root and the branches. As for that guy, ignore him.’

“…”

Miaomiao gnashed his one hundred teeth and stayed inside the root. However, he held the thread of Samael’s karma, wondering if he should cut it.

He still remembered the threat of the boatman. He said that karma power belonged to the sages, and Miaomiao shouldn’t be using it.

What would happen if Miaomiao cut this karma string? Would he provoke the sage behind Brocell?

Obviously, it was too risky. That eye’s owner might not be as forgiving as Minghe.

After thinking this far, Miaomiao abandoned the thought of cutting it. However, it would have been rude had Miaomiao simply let the assailant go unpunished.

Miaomiao summoned his newest Dao, the Dao of Death Curse. He injected the curse into the karma thread and directed it toward Brocell and the thing on the other side of the root. As for the mysterious eye, Miaomiao avoided him.

The curse soon landed on the two targets right away.

Ding

[You have cursed Brocell.]

[Brocell’s current lifespan is 1,217 years, and his luck energy is 120,551,231 points.]

[One point of luck will decrease every second until all luck points are consumed. Then, the lifespan of Brocell shall be decreased instead.]

Miaomiao inwardly sighed. It might take four years before Brocell would die from the death curse. By then, Brocell could have increased his luck power to offset the curse power.

Still, this harassment was enough to hinder Brocell’s growth. Should he survive this raid, he would still suffer from the lack of luck. Then, his advancement and growth would be slower than usual.

Miaomiao had the advantage of cultivation time. Even if he had no talent or aptitude in cultivation, he could exploit the dantian space to grow stronger.

Ding

[You have cursed the Incomplete First Generation War Marionette; Code Name Samael.]

[Samael’s current lifespan is 555,500 years, and his luck energy is 555,500,000,000 points.]

[One point of luck will decrease every second until all luck points are consumed. Then, the lifespan of Samael shall be decreased instead.]

“Nani?!”

Miaomiao opened his mouth, revealing his only eye inside his throat.

He was dumbfounded.

What the hell did he just read?!

Samael?

Why was Samael here?!

If Samael was here, then what was the wisp of Samael’s Soul inside his right eyebrow?
