Chapter 894 Wasteland Area

After a few teleports, the Evil Duo arrived at their first target. This area was different from before as it was no longer pure desert, but also a wasteland filled with dry, cracked earth. There was some yellow sand around, but only on the surface level.

However, the density of monsters had starkly increased compared to the pure desert. After all, the hard truth was that a wasteland was more habitable than a desert and the resources, though still scarce, were still more useful.

From what they could ascertain from Ramshel's memories, the desert area they had been was the outskirts of the fragmented eternal world, where the weakest of the Eternals were forced to stay by the rest.

Naturally, as you closer the he center of this plane, the better the quality of resources and monsters. This was proven by their first target they met, the Giant Mummy.

?Name: Tukhan

Eternal Talent: Death Bind

Level: 8

Power level: Normal

——————

Eternal Power: 28

Eternal Control: 14

Eternal Limit: 30

———————

Eternal Skills: Wrap - Tier 2, Cursed Body - Tier 2.

Eternal items: None.?

As you could see, the difference between an Eternal monster with a 'weak' power level and one with a 'normal' power level was their Eternal Control. Those at the weak stage and below had less than 11 points in Eternal Control while those at the Normal stage had less than 21 points.

However, to Draco and Eva, it wasn't much of a difference. Unless your Eternal Power was equal or more than theirs, they could still beat you to death eventually and grow stronger for it too.

The moment they appeared bear the mummy, the monster turned to them with cold eyes.

"Humans, what do you want?" he asked in a deep and gravelly voice.

Draco and Eva's eyes flashed. "It seemed apart form just Eternal Control, these Eternal monsters at the normal power level had the preliminary ability to communicate!

One should know, even with Ramshel and co, none of them had been able to speak a word despite obviously possessing adequate intelligence to understand words spoken to them.

"Giant mummy, quickly lie down and commit suicide to make things easier for bot sides. That way, you can go out with some dignity." Draco ordered with a smirk.

The giant mummy's eyes flashed with endless anger and hatred after it heard such a provocation.

"Impudent humans, DIE!"

The bandages around its body coiled up like snakes and flew over, attempting to bind the Evil Duo up. Since this was their first battle at a higher tier and with a new type of foe, they opted to fight head on using their Demon/Goddess branch, meaning it was a physical brawl.

Soon enough, Tukhan was being tag teamed by the Evil Duo who were once again working in perfect synchronization to deal damage. Because the mummy had a cursed body, it was resistant to physical attacks, which reduced their prowess.

But the power Draco and Eva could bring out at 1.51 Eternal Control was vastly different from before. Each of their punches left obvious marks on the skin of Tukhan, making him scream in pain from the agony.

Not just that, but each punch and kick created a small explosion and spread a shockwave outwards, showing that Draco and Eva were not holding back at all. They were hitting hard and Tukhan was feeling it all over.

The giant mummy screamed in pain, but continually moved his bandages to try and trap the Evil Duo. Draco and Eva had to dance between rapidly moving and ever increasing strands of papyrus that were filled with malicious intent, but they perfectly managed with their psychic synchronization and Void of Perfection.

However, it was getting harder and harder to maneuver over time not because they were falling behind, but because the space around which the typically moved was getting filled up. It was like playing snake on those old brick phones, the more food one consumed, the more space the snake took up on the screen, and the less you could maneuver.

Seeing this, the giant mummy became excited. He swore that when he caught them, he would rip out their most sensitive parts slowly and painfully, before finding a way to restore them and start again.

However fantasy was beautiful and reality was cruel. Draco and Eva simply came together and exploded with Destruction/Abyss Energy outward, corroding and destroying all the bandages in the area.

With the area now cleared, they smile gruesomely as he began their assault once again.

BANG!

BOOM!

That was the sound of any fist or kick from Draco and Eva colliding with the withered and tired flesh of Tukhan. Each hit literally create a shockwave behind his body and made the ground beneath his feet quake, so you could be sure that Draco and Eva were hitting like trucks.

The thing about this style of fighting was that it would never truly one shot the enemy unless they had that Godly Strength that broke boundaries, like the Primal God Inheritance of the Pangu bloodline.

This kind of style was powerful, but most Eternal monsters had the base defense to survive multiple hits at this level of power. But that was exactly what the Evil Duo were going for and didn't care about.

It was best that Tukhan could survive these blows, otherwise how could they measure the improvement to their strength compared to before?

As such, the cruel beatdown continued for another half hour until the Evil Duo were satisfied. They had understood and acclimated to this new level of power for this branch, and they could sue it stably in the future.

Losing interest in fighting Tukhan anymore, Eva snapped her fingers and stopped time. Draco then did the same trick of opening a slit into the confines of folded space, but this time, both of the Evil Duo appeared behind Tukhan and kicked him inside.

When Eva resumed time, Tukhan - who they had kicked in the back with full force - suddenly flew from where he was standing right into the depths of the cut in space, which Draco closed cruelly.

Just like before, they only had to wait a short while before receiving confirmation of the giant mummy being ripped apart by the tearing force of folded space.

Looking at the skills, Draco and Eva sneered. Just as they had thought, relying on skills to survive this trial would have been utterly foolish! Not to mention their stupid cooldown, but the jump in power from Tier 1 to 2 was 3 points of Eternal Power!

So what if the cooldown from Tier 1 to tier 2 had reduced? So what if the power increased? Was a skill with a mere 6 Eternal Power going to put down someone like Tukhan just now?

Draco and Eva have and always will be anomalies with their power and talent. It would always be futile to compare them to the established status quo because no matter how sensible or objective the status quo was, they would break it.

This trip to the Eternal World was proof of that.

Objectively, someone with barely 1 point on Eternal Control SHOULD NOT be able to beat another with even 3 Eternal Control, much less one with 14 points. If that were the case, this realm would not be so peaceful with monsters minding their own business in their territories, but full of war as the lower class try to seek better resources for themselves.

It was mostly because the Evil Duo broke the common sense status by having 100 Eternal Power and Limit. They could essentially bring out more power than they could reasonably control, and that was what broke the status quo.

So relying on those skills was stupid unless you had an advantage. But if you could beat a foe with above 10 points on Eternal Control, you likely did not need their dropped skill which on had 6 points of Eternal Power.

As usual, they tossed it into a part of their inventory, never to see the light of day again until the World Will reclaimed it.

Rather, what intrigued the Evil Duo was the fact that they had gained a whole 3 points of experience. This was likely not just because the foe they vanquished was of a new tier, but also because they crossed tiers to make the kill.

If they were to calculate, 1 exp was the base point, 1 exp was given for being at the Normal power level and 1 exp was given for being at the 'Weak' power level but killing a "normal' level powerhouse.

Once again, the World Will worked with objectivity and this should be impossible, If achieved, it had to be rewarded accordingly and 3 exp was more than enough. This meant that to level up, they only needed to kill 5 more 'Normal' tier Eternal monsters and 1 more 'Weak' tier Eternal monster to level up.

Thinking like this, the Evil Duo were instantly motivated. They opened a portal and rushed through, heading towards their next target.

When they got close, they didn't even bother to inspect the being because they didn't intend to undertake s tedious fight like before or even test out their new power.

Rather, they just opened a gap right beside the monster into folded space and dragged it in using their strength while walking out of it themselves.

So basically, the two parties had swapped places.

Draco naturally closed the 'door' behind him and waited for a few seconds. Soon, they got the familiar notification as well as one or two crass Tier 2 skills which they didn't even bother to read.

They immediately opened another door through space and walked in, moving towards their next target.

Like this, Draco and Eva traveled all over the Wasteland area casually as if it was their backyard. Any Eternal monster they met, whether it was 'weak' or 'normal' would be dragged into the folds of space and killed with a borrowed knife.

After tasting the sweetness of lazy killing, Draco and Eva knew that they couldn't go back, not anymore.

Why work hard and fight when you can just toss them into a freely summonable natural disaster to do the work for you?

The Eternal monster of the wasteland area had no idea that they were being silently taken out one by one. A quite genocide was happening, and no one knew or could tell.

Then again, even if they knew, what would it change? Genocide was the Evil Duo's special talent that they had perfected over the years, so if they wanted a race or group gone, they would be gone. That's what it meant to have a talent.

As their experience rose, so too did their cruelty and speed of work. They had made it a plan to go back to the outer area and clear it of all interlopers as well, since that place would be the perfect spawning area in the future.

In fact, Draco and Eva even had a wickeder idea… they wanted to capture this entire plane for themselves and take it back, using it to train the humans of earth to become Eternal experts. After all, Control was an Eternal talent and every human had access to it at varying degrees.

Imagine 8 billion or more Eternals running amok in the universe!

Hm?

Hey, could it be?

Was that why the original human race were so resilient and undefeated that they took all the stronger races on and slaughtered them to the man?

Holy shit!
