Death Knight's Dark Calculation!

  The Death Knight indeed lived up to his three-stage Lord-level strength, even after being ambushed by a wave of Alchemy Arrows and a baptism of high-temperature flames. However, the guy still struggled to survive without dying, but judging from his slightly convulsing body, he had already entered a state of near-death and wouldn't last much longer.

  "Why is this guy so expensive?"

  He crouched down, and Zhou Feng furrowed his brow as he looked at the charred body of the Death Knight. To be honest, he couldn't imagine why Edsa would spend his own Life Spring on the Death Knight, nor did he understand why Edsa still had a pleased expression after spending over ten million crystals. However, he believed that compared to himself, Edsa, as a rich second-generation from the higher magical realm, must have been more clear about the rules and values of the Divine Beast Training Grounds, so if he thought the Death Knight's value exceeded ten million, then it certainly would.

  "Because I am an atheist..."

  However, just as Zhou Feng was frowning, a hint of dark fire suddenly flashed in the Death Knight's black pupils, and he looked at Zhou Feng with a bitter smile: "I didn't expect that I, Kemo, would actually die at the hands of a second-rate human like you... what a joke..."

  "Strength doesn't represent everything, sometimes luck is also very important."

  Seeing the Death Knight awaken, Zhou Feng's pupils instantly constricted, but his face soon relaxed again. Because at this moment, he didn't feel even a hint of power from the Death Knight, and it was already a miracle that the Death Knight could be alive after suffering such a heavy blow, let alone pose any threat.

  "That's right, luck is really important, if I wasn't so unlucky, I wouldn't have ended up like this today..."

  Upon hearing Zhou Feng's words, the Death Knight was slightly taken aback at first, then suddenly let out a sigh and said: "Judging from your appearance, you should be a lower-ranking tribe who was forcibly conscripted into the Divine Demon Training Grounds, rather than a higher-ranking tribe who entered voluntarily. No wonder you don't know my value... However, your luck is quite good."

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, the Death Knight's voice suddenly became low and melancholic. It was clear that even speaking was a torment to him in his current state, but he still spoke with a steady tone: "My name is Kuo Mu Te, I am a knight. Only others used to call me Holy Knight, now they call me Death Knight..."

  "Holy Knight? Death Knight?"

  Upon hearing the Death Knight's words, Zhou Feng suddenly recalled that in the background of the game "Warcraft", there was also a story about how the Holy Knights were seduced by the Lich King and became Death Knights. This guy called himself Desecrator, which probably meant that he had become like this because he desecrated the gods.

  "I know you have many doubts, but I don't have time anymore. I just want to tell you that unless absolutely necessary, don't use any power of faith to elevate yourself, not even the formulaic bloodline in the God-Demon system, because none of these belong to you. And remember, no matter what, never trust the Gods... You can utilize them, but absolutely must not trust them, absolutely not!"

  It seemed as if the Death Knight had seen Zhou Feng's confusion, and he suddenly coughed violently several times. His voice was urgent as he said: "They all know that Death Knights are precious, but they don't know why a single Death Knight corpse can be exchanged for over five million crystal diamonds in the God-Demon system. I'll tell you, the most precious thing about Death Knights is the pure power left in their bodies after they walk from holiness to death. This power doesn't belong to gods or demons, but to my own pure power. And this power may not be strong, but it's a seed that leads to the strongest, so many high-ranking strongmen will collect our corpses in the God-Demon system, hoping to choose the most correct and strongest growth path for their offspring."

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, the Death Knight's eyes suddenly blazed with a fierce flame, and then in a stern voice, as if reflecting on his past, he said: 'I'm already done for, but I'd rather not have my corpse and soul controlled by the gods even after death. So I'll tell you all this... Now, please devour my heart like you did that person's just now, although it's only half left, the original power hasn't diminished much... Please... I don't want to be restless even in death..."

  As he said the last few words, the dark fire in the eyes of the Death Knight also gradually dimmed and then slowly disappeared. Feeling that all the energy breath of the Death Knight had disappeared at the same time, Zhou Feng's eyes also suddenly became heavy.

  He couldn't even tell whether what the Death Knight said before he died was true or false!

  Zhou Feng was not one to assume the worst about others, but the Death Knight's words were indeed too tempting. Like the Death Knight, he was also a non-believer in gods and demons, only believing in himself, so he had always been skeptical of this god-demon system. If it was the power given by the god-demon system, would there be a day when this power would be taken back by the god-demon system? The Death Knight's words dispelled his doubts, while also tempting his eager-to-become-stronger heart like a cake filled with poison.

  But just as Zhou Feng was stunned by his doubts, the unexpected happened. Accompanied by a dull sound, the Death Knight's exposed and incomplete heart suddenly jumped out of his chest like a spider, shooting rapidly towards Zhou Feng's face. At the same time, the Death Knight's body also suddenly bounced up, tightly grabbing Zhou Feng's body, making him unable to move.

  Pfft!

  With a dull thud, the Death Knight's heart stuck to Zhou Feng's face like a Facehugger from Alien, then extended countless tentacles that crawled all over Zhou Feng. At the same time, the Death Knight's body also tightened its grip on Zhou Feng's limbs, rendering him powerless to struggle.

  Then, Zhou Feng only felt a slippery object entering his body from his mouth and nose, spreading rapidly throughout his body like insects. At the same time, the prompt of the Divine Demon System also reappeared in Zhou Feng's mind.

  Death Knight activates Lord ability - Occupy, host body is invaded by Death Knight's organ of Dominator.

  As the prompt sound of the Divine Demon System rang out, the tentacles that had spread from the Death Knight's heart within Zhou Feng's body also began to expand further and further, eventually controlling his muscles and skeleton, rendering him unable to exert even half of his strength. At this moment, even if the Death Knight were to release his restraints, Zhou Feng would still be completely unable to move a single inch.

  Under the sprawling tentacles, the DX-1118 gene virus in Zhou Feng's body began to counterattack like a lion defending its territory. Accompanied by waves of intense heat, Zhou Feng felt his blood and cells boiling and circulating wildly. Then, sharp tentacles began to shoot out from his organs and muscles, charging towards the Death Knight's sprawling tentacles.

  Pffft!

  Along with the series of dull thuds, streams of fresh blood began to rapidly seep out from Zhou Feng's body surface. The intense internal battle was a kind of unbearable torture for him, and in an instant he felt his body lose control, only to regain it the next second, before losing it again. This process of constantly being robbed of bodily control not only brought him intense pain but also inflicted severe injuries on him.

  However, compared to the Lord's special skill of Death Knight, Zhou Feng's body still had an incomplete DX-1118 gene virus that was far inferior. Soon, control over Zhou Feng's body was once again taken over by Death Knight, and the tentacles spreading within Zhou Feng's body began to close in step by step until they approached the most critical part of Zhou Feng's body - the heart!

  But just as the Death Knight's tentacles were about to touch Zhou Feng's heart and assimilate it, a vast and powerful life force suddenly burst out of Zhou Feng's heart, sweeping heavily across those tentacles. In the face of this pure life force, the Death Knight's tentacles melted away like snow in the scorching sun, and then retreated rapidly along the path they had come from. Soon, all the tentacles that had spread throughout Zhou Feng's body withdrew, and his heart leapt out, leaving Zhou Feng's face.

  However, before this heart was completely separated from Zhou Feng's face, hundreds and thousands of tentacles suddenly shot out from Zhou Feng's body surface, then heavily wrapped up that incomplete heart. Soon, under the phagocytosis of DX-1118 gene virus and the impact of life force, that heart finally disintegrated with a ear-piercing scream, and was transformed into a part of Zhou Feng's body.

  Then, the voice of the Divine Demon System once again emerged in Zhou Feng's mind.
