609: Uncle Jin
"Your Golden Uncle... looks like this? This is way too shiny!" Tang Ku said, truly feeling a bit flustered.
Although he didn't have megalophobia or anything like that, seeing such a behemoth still left him somewhat shaken.
That Golden Uncle they spoke of was more than enough to circle the Earth; its head was almost as big as the planet itself. Furthermore, its entire body was covered in golden scales, and a tremendous sense of oppression, as if from the ancient primordial era, was exerted upon Zun Zun almost instantly.
"Damn it, the energy on this guy can suppress me..." Zun Zun also couldn't help but curse.
The giant dragon head suddenly turned, looking at the spaceship Tang Ku and the others were riding in, and suddenly grinned. Immediately after, two small balls appeared before it... well, indeed, for it, they could certainly be called small balls.
Inside those two bubble-like transparent spheres, two small figures were imprisoned: Darwin and a terrified-looking Newton.
These bubble-like things swayed in front of Zun Zun. The next moment, Zun Zun said with a look of terror: "My defense has been breached... someone... someone has come in!"
Immediately after, everything in front of them blurred, and three figures suddenly appeared before them.
Two prisoners still trapped in bubbles, and... a young man wearing a golden Tang suit who looked dazzlingly handsome.
"Golden Uncle, you... you've turned into a human?" Tang Xian couldn't help but exclaim. He turned to look at the porthole and was shocked to find that the giant dragon body was still floating before his eyes, having not disappeared.
"This is my Illusion Dragon Clone!" the young man said with a smile. "I heard your conversation, which is why I rushed over to chase them. Coincidentally, their route wasn't actually very far, and I caught up in just a few minutes!"
Tang Xuan walked up in surprise and poked his cheek with her finger, saying, "Are you... really Golden Uncle?"
"No respect! You deserve a spanking..."
"Smack!"
"Ah!"
Although there was nothing behind her, Tang Xuan jumped up as if she had been struck by something, her face turning bright red as she said, "Golden Uncle, I didn't mean it, please don't tell my dad!"
"Hehe!"
Golden Uncle turned to look at Tang Ku and smiled, "Tang Sanzang, right... Not bad, not bad. It proves that Master did not misjudge you. Whether in strength or intelligence, you are worthy of being the Choice of Order!"
Tang Ku awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Your praise makes me feel quite embarrassed... Ahem, anyway, could you release these two guys?"
Golden Uncle smiled and said, "Sure, but I must warn you, that guy called Darwin has the aura of a Pseudo-Saint on him, and it's very powerful. If I open the two Seal spheres, I cannot guarantee what he will do!"
Tang Ku thought for a moment: "Then, can you let us communicate with each other?"
"That's simple!"
Golden Uncle snapped his fingers. Newton, who was trapped in the sphere, suddenly yelled and screamed: "Tang Sanzang, you went back on your word! Why did you capture us? Why? You hypocrite, you hypocrite! You promised us you wouldn't attack us again..."
Newton stomped his feet and cursed, but Tang Ku and the others watched him with indifference. After a long while, he finally panted and asked, "Why?"
Tang Ku smiled: "Finally calmed down? Actually, you should learn from your companion. Look, he has been very calm from beginning to end!"
Newton couldn't help but be stunned. He turned his head to look and saw that Darwin was watching Tang Ku very calmly, silent for a long time.
"I really don't understand how you saw through my identity. I clearly didn't reveal a single flaw!" After a long while, Darwin finally said in a deep voice.
"Intuition, plus a little bit of deduction... Of course, what you call 'no flaws' is actually the biggest flaw of all!" Tang Ku shook his head and said, "However, none of this matters now! Since you have asked me this question, it means you have actually admitted your identity, right?"
"So what if I admit it?" Darwin's eyes were full of disdain. "What can you do to me? To tell you the truth, if it wasn't to save him, I would have already fled. You would never have found me... Hehe, perhaps by now, that Ge Gang's throne might already be mine!"
"Darwin, you... what are you saying? Are you trying to overthrow the Master?" Newton said, somewhat bewildered. "No, you can't. I cannot let you go to your death. The Master's power is too great; you are simply not..."
"Shut up, you Trash!" Darwin roared at him. "If it weren't for you holding me back, my plan would have already succeeded!"
"You... what did you just say?" Newton looked at Darwin in shock. Darwin had never spoken to him in this tone before; regardless of what conflicts they had, Darwin had always been respectful and polite to him.
"Don't you understand yet?" Tang Ku said in a deep voice. "That so-called old friend of yours has long been dead!"
"Impossible! Then who is this person in front of me?" Newton raged. "Darwin cannot be dead!"
"He is not Darwin. He is a true Extraterrestrial Demon, one of those from the Pseudo-Saint Legion! Darwin must have been killed by the Extraterrestrial Demon after his battle with me, and it ultimately replaced him, becoming Darwin!" Tang Xian said in a deep voice.
"You... you are lying!" Newton said, nearly breaking down. "He was clearly risking his life to save me!"
"Although Darwin is proficient in the Life Law, the Death Law derived from the Life Law cannot reach his level!" Tang Ku said in a deep voice. "Although death is a part of life, in terms of pure power intensity, it cannot be stronger than the true Death Law... Actually, I was deceived by him from the very beginning. Later, when Tang Xian came to my side and mentioned the battle he once had with him, I realized something was wrong. The real Darwin must have died long ago!"
Newton turned to look at Darwin, wanting to ask something but unable to speak.
Darwin sneered: "You guys really have rich imaginations... Hmm, but you got one thing wrong. Darwin is not dead; he is still living well... Or rather, his soul is still living well. After all, I need to extract memories from his soul in order to occupy this body for a long time!"
By saying this, he was effectively admitting that he was not Darwin.
Newton's eyes were splitting with rage: "Give my friend back!"
He pounded hard against the edge of the bubble, but this seemingly extremely thin bubble was surprisingly tough; even using the power of Law, it didn't suffer the slightest damage.
"I have a question!" Tang Ku tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why did you risk your life to rescue Newton? If you wanted to avoid exposure, wouldn't it have been enough to just abandon him?"
"Hehe, why should I tell you?" Darwin sneered. "You just need to know that he is very important!"
