Chapter 743: 737: The Power of Destruction

Research lab.

As Tracy Harvey pressed the virtual button, a technologically sophisticated platform slowly rose not far away.

On the platform lay a blue-green crystal, about the size of a quail egg, emitting a familiar aura.

“A Time Stone?” David Jones softly exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, the special crystal that now lay before him was a Level VIII Time resource, the Time Stone.

However, this Time Stone was lighter in color than the one David had won at the Star Moon Auction Event, and its glow was much dimmer.

“Indeed, you do know!”

Tracy’s face bore a trace of helplessness, “The strand of Power of Annihilation developed from Daz Lee’s research is terrifyingly potent. In the face of the Power of Annihilation, both legendary forces and Class VIII arcane implements are rendered powerless.”

“As you can see, only the Time Stone, a Level VII Epic resource from the Celestial Dungeon, can temporarily preserve the Power of Annihilation.”

Hearing this, David’s expression turned serious.

He could only detect the presence of the Time Stone with his Psychic Perception for the time being.

Then, through the Beast Taming Contract, he used Rainbow’s vision to see the energy on the Time Stone—it was a strand of deep, dark radiance.

Supported by the resources of the Federation of Trainer Guild, Dr. Lee spent five hundred and seventy-eight years on the Destruction Tyrant Dragon project to create three strands of the Power of Annihilation; this was one of them.

“To refine this strand of Power of Annihilation, you need not only formidable strength but also the courage to face death head-on. Are you and Rainbow prepared?” Tracy asked David seriously.

“Is the mortality rate for the Destruction Tyrant Dragon very high?” David inquired.

“Yes, even Dr. Lee’s research stopped at the second stage, which is the Destruction Zone.”

Tracy’s tone held a hint of excitement, “Dr. Lee’s Innate Talent is ‘Flash of Inspiration,’ revered as the strongest inventor in the Flowery Kingdom, no, in the world. If we can conquer a project that even he couldn’t complete, winning the Edison Research Award would be a piece of cake!”

Seeing Tracy’s fervent demeanor, David grew increasingly uneasy.

He pressed for an answer, “Exactly how high is the mortality rate?”

Tracy glanced at David and Rainbow, who both looked somewhat nervous, and a smile appeared on her face.

“Up to this point, the mortality rate for those who have entered the second stage of the Destruction Tyrant Dragon project is one hundred percent!”

At her words, David’s eyes twitched slightly, and even Rainbow couldn’t help but let out an alarmed cry.

A one hundred percent mortality rate—how was that different from suicide?

“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” Tracy waved her hands dismissively, “I won’t be as crude as Dr. Lee, using experimental Beasts simply as research materials!”

After speaking, she licked her red lips, “Besides, Rainbow is the first Flood Dragon in the country to comprehend the Power of Annihilation!”

“A one hundred percent mortality rate doesn’t mean that my and Dr. Lee’s research paths are wrong; it just shows that those experimental Beasts weren’t of a high enough standing and couldn’t contain the existence of the Power of Annihilation!”

“With Rainbow here, we will definitely be able to pave an Evolution route for the Destruction Tyrant Dragon!” Tracy knelt down and attempted to pat Rainbow on the head.

However, Rainbow immediately turned away to dodge.

“Eee.” (Only David can.)

Rainbow was warily watching Tracy.

“So, how will we proceed with the second stage, the Destruction Zone?”

Seeing Miss Tracy’s lips curl slightly, David, sensing something was amiss, promptly interjected, “Let me make it clear upfront, I won’t let Rainbow participate in any overly dangerous experiments.”

“How could you say that? Don’t see me as some inhumane research freak; I truly care about Rainbow’s safety as well.”

“`

Having said that, Tracy Harvey turned her gaze toward the platform.

“The second stage of the experiment is quite dangerous, Rainbow needs to tame the Power of Annihilation little by little with its will, until it successfully turns it into its own strength!”

“Tame little by little? That sounds similar to how a Trainer forms a contract with their pet.” David Jones uttered in surprise.

“Exactly,” Tracy Harvey nodded, “As a top-grade energy, the Power of Annihilation is on the same level as Immortal Power and may even surpass it.

Since immortal beings can leave their own will on Immortal Power, Rainbow can naturally inscribe its will on the Power of Annihilation.”

“The Power of Annihilation has the might to destroy all laws for safety’s sake, I suggest that Rainbow postpone the act of inscribing its will and instead use its Psychic Perception to refine its internal Power of Annihilation until it can go no further, then consider further testing.”

Hearing this, David Jones looked down at Rainbow.

“Want to give it a try?”

“Yi,”

Rainbow nodded its head slowly and flew gently above the platform, then closed its dragon eyes and extended its dark blue dragon claws.

“Hum!”

As a hint of pitch-black radiance quietly emerged on the dragon claws, the dark brilliance on the Time Stone also became brighter and brighter!

Obviously, the proud and lofty Rainbow chose to directly use the Power of Annihilation to leverage the Power of Annihilation, attempting to merge the two into one.

However, the intensity of the Power of Annihilation clearly exceeded Rainbow’s expectations.

In its eyes full of disappointment, only a few seconds passed before the Power of Annihilation within the Time Stone swiftly returned to quiescence.

A fierce determination flashed in Rainbow’s eyes as it activated its Absolute Will and used its abundant Psychic Power to fully unleash the might of Annihilation.

“Boom!”

A slight collision occurred between the Power of Annihilation and the Power of Annihilation.

Rainbow’s eyes widened as its body instantly transformed into a bullet of flashes of lightning and retreated explosively in the opposite direction, eventually slamming into the wall and creating a hole.

“Too reckless!”

David Jones and Tracy Harvey simultaneously held their foreheads.

“Yi!”

Rainbow’s dragon claw slowly lit up with a dark radiance, its gaze filled with a trace of excitement.

Its instincts were not wrong, this force was extremely difficult to sense, but it was not an illusion!

Under the insight of Absolute Will, just a single collision had given its Power of Annihilation a noticeably immediate improvement in quality.

However, this kind of improvement required the consumption of both Power of Annihilation and Psychic Power. With its current understanding of the Ice-Fire Zone, it could probably only withstand the collision thirty to forty-five times a month at most; any more than that might carry the risk of backlash.

David Jones, through the Beast Taming Contract’s perception, quickly became aware of the benefits Rainbow gained from this risky endeavor.

It had to be said that this method of visible strength enhancement was highly effective, far surpassing the sensory comprehension previously mentioned by Miss Tracy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If that’s the case, Rainbow’s method of refining the Power of Annihilation can be adjusted.”

Tracy Harvey smiled and said, “Additionally, I’ve applied to the Federation for the Moon-chasing Emperor Dragon Fossil that is currently being tuned with the blood refining method, and when the tuning is successful, Rainbow’s strength should be able to reach the apex of Class VI. At that time, the efficiency of refining the Power of Annihilation may even increase further.”

“So for now, you shouldn’t wander around with Rainbow. Just stay put in Rosewood City. The sooner you use the Fossil Dragon Blood after the tuning is successful, the better the effect will be!”

“Understood,” David Jones nodded slightly.

He was well aware that Rainbow needed to have sufficient strength to hold the Power of Annihilation, otherwise it would only harm itself.
