Can’t Afford to Offend

"What did you do?"

"What did you do?"

As they dodged Hulk’s massive smashing fists, the two questioned each other.

This was somewhat different from the plan!

"Did the first Reincarnator draw Hulk’s blood already?"

"No way. After Dr. Banner’s blood was drawn, at most he would become more protective of it. It had never been nullified before."

This blood draw had been carried out under both of their supervision, with the restraints of the Space’s contract in place as well.

After snapping at each other in anger at first, the two gradually calmed down.

The other party had neither the reason nor the ability to do this!

But then they discovered that the Hulk, who had been raging and preparing to attack them, suddenly quieted down.

When they sensed that something was wrong and turned to look, they saw a somewhat familiar figure emerge from behind Hulk.

And the enraged Hulk seemed to gradually calm down because of this person’s appearance.

"It’s you? You’re behind all this, aren’t you?!"

When ‘Lucy’ saw the newcomer, anger and shock appeared on her face.

"Hmph. I thought that strike would force out your resurrection privilege. I didn’t expect I had still underestimated you. I never thought you would have become this much stronger after such a short time!"

Compared to ‘Lucy’s expression, Tal’s face was even more overcast.

"You know him?"

‘Lucy’ was full of curiosity.

"You should have heard his title too—the Nightmare Demon, one of French Credit’s top experts. Earlier, you used your clumsy methods to manipulate several useless Reincarnators in General Ross’s group into launching a sneak attack. I also took the opportunity to add a few ingredients of my own, using a large amount of anti-magic properties, but it seems they had no effect."

Tal’s expression gradually turned grave.

Hulk alone did not concern him much. Speed was the other party’s fatal weakness. If he wanted to flee, he could still get away. It was just a pity that he had failed to accomplish the purpose of this trip.

But now, this man could actually tame a Space native of this level?

That was practically cheating!

Could Hulk’s resistance to mental control be very low?

This seemed like valuable intelligence that could be sold.

After weighing and analyzing the situation for a while, Tal finally made his decision and spoke.

"This time, I concede defeat. Your schemes and methods are indeed impressive. I admire you."

"Impressive methods?"

After Human Path Pain stepped forward, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Did I use any methods?"

His mission had basically been completed, and he had been ready to notify the main body and return. It seemed that they had gotten themselves all worked up, then conveniently handed him a Space-triggered mission.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t originally planned to do anything to you…

"Hmph, are you still trying to show off at a time like this? Sorry, I was merely careless this time. Next time, I’ll definitely see through your conspiracy!"

As Tal spoke, he took out a scroll and tore it apart, apparently preparing to force his return to the Space.

Although voluntarily returning also came with penalties and losses, it was still far better than being killed and sent back.

He had a very clear understanding of the situation before him. When it was time to give up, he had to give up!

But the next moment, he discovered that the scroll he had torn apart had no effect whatsoever.

His expression instantly froze.

What was going on?

Why was his authority scroll useless?!

This was an item with high-level Space authority!

There was no way it should have had no reaction at all!

"Conspiracy?"

At that moment, Human Path naturally appeared at Tal’s side. He slowly reached out and took the scroll from Tal’s stiff hand.

"Do I need any conspiracy to deal with the likes of you?"

He crushed the scroll in his hand. A gentle smile appeared on Human Path’s face, while the surrounding space instantly changed, completely shattering into a field of darkness.

Your consciousness had been projected into the Tsukuyomi Space. You only imagined yourself using an Escape Scroll—how could it possibly affect your actual body!

"You!"

"It’s nothing. I’m just a little curious. Why did the two of you pay such a huge price for Banner’s Blood? Was it purely for enhancement? Don’t lie to me…"

Only an instant had passed in reality before Human Path Pain opened his eyes. Looking at the two people unconscious before him, his expression was calm.

At that moment, Xu Yue’s main body also walked out from behind him. Through their shared memories, he had already fully understood what had happened.

He had not expected these Reincarnators, who constantly researched and tested things, to actually come up with something new.

That nearly physically immortal putty-like Hulk had already left a deep impression on Xu Yue. Although its shortcomings were obvious, its strengths were equally obvious.

He had thought that the main use of Banner’s plasma was to sell it, while keeping some for the Laborer Group to undergo related enhancements.

But he had not expected the Reincarnators of the France Zone to accidentally discover a useful application for Banner’s Blood.

In the world of Hero vs. Monster, this blood could be used to enter the hidden Monster Faction!

The missions available there would have an incredibly high cost-performance ratio.

Within the Hero Association, randomly defeating a Tiger-level monster only gave C-rank rewards. But within the Monster Faction, randomly defeating a C-Class Hero came with a B-rank base reward!

B-Rank Mission Plot Points were highly sought-after even among Elite Reincarnators. Even major players would deliberately farm related missions.

And there was no doubt that farming C-Class Heroes was far easier than earning a B-rank mission reward.

The cost-performance ratio was simply absurd.

Even with only this basic benefit, it deserved the title of a hidden faction.

Moreover, if joining the hidden Monster Faction had other routes—such as eating monster spores—then Banner’s Blood merely made it more convenient to prepare in advance for entry.

But Banner’s Blood’s ability to integrate with the monster system was irreplaceable among the abilities discovered so far.

In general, all bloodlines had various conflicts with one another. Yet if one could integrate Hulk’s bloodline, one could use the tyrannical fusion power of its Gamma Rays to forcibly devour the power of other monsters’ flesh and blood without bloodline rejection!

Even the big players coveted this hidden secret greatly, because monsters came in all kinds, and there would always be one suited to a person’s combat style and combat system.

As long as one used Hulk’s original blood to complete the replacement, one could choose a monster compatible with one’s abilities and fuse with it.

Forget the lofty Dragon-level monsters—even Demon-level monsters could provide quite unique power boosts…

After receiving this information, Xu Yue pondered for a moment before quickly making a decision.

Yeah, most of this barrel of blood still had to be sold, along with the top-tier intelligence he had obtained.

It was not something he could enjoy.

Hunting C-Class Heroes… you people were truly terrifying…

Can’t afford to offend you. Can’t afford to offend you…

Two chapters done~
