Chapter 1196 You were cheated
Rat King's expression changed instantly, but after a few seconds, his rat-like face broke into a smile again: "Heh... what a big mouth you have! I know you always looked down on me back in the board of directors. Your extraordinary level was also higher than mine, and I was no match for you in a contest of soul power... but now I am a completely different person!"
"Is that a genetic weapon you're wearing?" Muraki knew very well why Rat King, who had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, had the audacity to speak to him. He said calmly, "It's equipment I developed myself by stealing technological achievements from Night Song."
Rat King raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Muraki knew so much.
However, Night Song's genetic weapon had been showcased at the All Races Summit and performed remarkably well. The energy arrays on his armor and steel claws were identical to the genetic weapons used by the Night Clan warriors at the time, so it wasn't surprising that Muraki recognized it.
"You have a good eye for quality." Rat King twirled the steel claw in his hand, sneering, "That's right, it's a genetic weapon! You didn't expect that, did you? This technology was stolen from the Night Family by my intelligence agents. Now our Rat Spirit Clan also has the ability to research and produce genetic weapons! You should know how powerful this thing is! Even though my level is lower than yours, with this set of equipment, I can kill you even if I'm a level above me!"
Muraki: "Hmph, what a pathetic fellow."
Rat King's face darkened: "What did you say??"
"You think the technical data for developing this equipment was stolen by your intelligence agents?" Muraki said. "Is it possible that Yoru deliberately let you steal it?"
"He deliberately let me steal it?" Rat King laughed. "Are you crazy? He deliberately gave me such important technology?"
Muraki sneered, his eyes filled with pity: "From acquiring this technology to research and development to production, how much money did you invest? Who supplied you with the materials used in the research and development experiments and the materials used in production?"
Rat King: "Of course I have my own channels!"
"Your own channels?" Muraki said, "Those channels of yours, were they recommended to you by the Ye family?"
Upon hearing this, Rat King paused for a moment, then his expression suddenly froze.
He thought of Song Jie and Lin Jianxiu...
Lin Jianxiu's smiling face seemed to be right before my eyes: "Ye Ge is currently cooperating with a mysterious owner of a wandering merchant guild. That owner should have the goods you're looking for..."
Song Jie's incredibly "sincere" voice rang in my ears: "Mr. Ye Ge has helped me with so many things, including reviving my business association, paying off my gambling father's debts, curing my sick mother's illness, sponsoring my younger brother's schooling, and saving my depressed and broken wife!"
“Mr. Yege has done me a great favor; he is practically my dearest friend, my brother! I definitely have to reserve this batch of goods for him first!”
"If you really want it... unless you have to pay more!"
"..."
The skin on Rat King's face twitched instantly.
"Now you understand, you fool. You've been tricked." Muraki's voice was cold: "The materials you bought at a high price weren't actually worth that much. They've already monopolized those materials; they're the only ones in the entire Myriad Races region who have them, and then they supplied them to you at a hundred times the price!"
"And that genetic weapon research blueprint you obtained... Hmph, it's nothing more than a first-generation defective product that the Ye family has long since discarded! Their current models are probably already four or five generations older!"
Muraki looked at him with pity, then glanced contemptuously at Rat King's equipment. "If I'm not mistaken, your tattered clothes won't last long before they break down. And who knows, there might be some fatal flaw waiting for you."
"..."
Rat King clenched his mechanical claws tightly, his knuckles cracking. A nagging feeling told him that Muraki's words might very well be true! After all, how could he have obtained such important research data so easily in the first place?
But he still clung to a sliver of hope, especially in front of Muraki. If it were true, it would be incredibly embarrassing...
Rat King's eyes turned cold and piercing as he stared at Muraki: "I don't believe a word you say! No matter if my equipment is defective or not, as long as it helps me kill you even if I'm a higher level, it's a good weapon!"
With that, his short body unleashed astonishing power, like a cannonball fired, carrying a violent killing intent as he charged straight at Muraki! The mechanical steel claw in his right hand spun to its limit, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, carrying an aura of annihilation, and slashed fiercely down toward Muraki's head!
"when--!"
A deafening clang of metal rang out!
The savage grin on Rat King's face froze instantly, replaced by utter horror!
Muraki remained standing in the same spot, his figure as steady as a rock.
However, a dense, dark purple energy, filled with an ancient and malevolent aura, suddenly surged around his body! This energy was not a simple protective shield, but rapidly condensed and shaped, instantly transforming into a huge, ferocious energy exoskeleton covering his entire body!
The exoskeleton was rugged, covered with sharp bone spurs and scale-like protrusions, exuding a primordial aura that sent shivers down one's spine, and it firmly blocked the Rat King's deadly claw, which was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!
'How can it be? ’
The Rat King's Incredible Mind.
His genetic weapon has been activated and switched to a mode targeting the Sun Wheel Clan. As a result, when his attack lands on Muraki, any energy defense of the Sun Wheel Clan should be instantly eroded and disintegrated!
Could it be that......
He wasn't using the magic of the Sun Wheel Clan?
“Hihaha——!!!”
A roar that seemed to come from the deepest hell, and was filled with the hiss of countless venomous snakes, suddenly burst out from Muraki's body!
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The earth trembled violently as if struck by a heavy hammer!
Centered on Muraki, a violent and malevolent aura surged into the sky, forming a dark purple energy storm visible to the naked eye!
Amidst the horrified gazes of Rat King, the other Oseris, and all the Netherworld Clan, Muraki's dark purple energy exoskeleton expanded and grew wildly! In the blink of an eye, it broke through a hundred meters in height and continued to condense and materialize! Finally, a towering, colossal, and suffocatingly large nine-headed hydra golem descended upon the outskirts of Bone City!
This golem was composed entirely of condensed, malevolent energy, its entire body covered in dark purple energy scales that shimmered with a metallic, cold light.
Its trunk was like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, with nine incomparably ferocious giant snake heads raised high towards the sky, each snake head as large as a mountain! Eighteen scarlet snake eyes, like lava lamps from hell, locked onto the tiny, dust-like rat below! The violent pressure, like a tangible tsunami, instantly swept across the entire battlefield, compressing the air so much that it groaned under the unbearable pressure!
Rat King's eyes widened in disbelief. "An ancient ferocious beast... a hydra...?!"
