Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 265 - 261: Gamma Explodes

Chapter 265: Chapter 261: Gamma Explodes

The sudden explosion had taken Bai Qi by surprise, not giving him a chance to dodge.

Fortunately, Alpha was nearby and, in a few flickers, scooped up Bai Qi and Delta, quickly retreating.

The explosion had a far-reaching effect, the impact directly lending to Jade Valley, causing Nicholas, who was immersed in preparing dinner, to interrupt his activity, revealing his true shape and running away.

“What’s happened? Did those worms survive and come for revenge?”

Nicholas gazed around vigilantly, preparing his Jade Breath in case any suspicious creature showed up, ready to unleash his dragon breath on it.

“Cough, it’s okay. It was just the aftershock caused by Gamma and Shuck Beta’s battle.”

Via the pact, Bai Qi had already confirmed that the twin pets were okay, while Nicholas appeared confused, looking at the giant hole in front of him as though it had been hit by an annihilation weapon, asking, “Are you sure you’re not here to tear down my house?”

“Absolutely not!”

Bai Qi vigorously shook his head in denial, then saw Husky carrying Gamma, who had become like colorless jelly due to shock, walking out of the explosion.

Seeing Husky in the same disarray, Nicholas skillfully treated the twin pets with Jade Breath, then asked, “What exactly happened?”

“Simply put, Gamma was having an energy imbalance due to the impact of Beta’s Spirit Storm when he was absorbing the Holy Light Power, which led to an explosion, that’s all.”

Shuck succinctly explained the reason for the explosion, leaving Bai Qi and Nicholas exchanging baffled glances.

Energy imbalance causing an explosion during skill execution was understandable, but wasn’t the explosion a bit excessive?

Further, weren’t they a bit too calm facing an explosion of this scale?

Seeing their reactions, Shuck commented as he put Gamma down, “Though the explosion was strong, we had some time to prepare. Beta sensed it early and ran faraway, so I wasn’t badly hurt.”

“As for Gamma, if it weren’t for his life-saving skill, he might have died.”

After listening to Shuck’s explanation, Bai Qi’s face turned serious.

He hadn’t expected the Twin-Life Contract to have such a side effect. If Gamma hadn’t shortened the cooldown period for Golden Cicada Shelling due to the Evolution Egg, wouldn’t he have become an unexpected casualty?

It was too close a call.

But shouldn’t the Twin-Life Contract be able to harmonize two attributes? Why did this situation occur?

With Nicholas’ help, Gamma finally recovered, blushing slightly as he saw Bai Qi and others surrounding him.

Ka-pu Ka-pu.

(Sorry Master, Gamma was distracted during the transformation, so….)

Distracted during transformation?

Was it Gamma’s negligence that disturbed the balance of the Twin-Life Contract leading to an explosion?

“Gamma, how about your Twin-Life Contract, is it still there?”

Gamma nodded, another Twin-Life Contract was formed within him, albeit significantly dimmer than before.

“So, it was not in a fixed state.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed with relief, “Looks like we can’t integrate the Light Spirit Holy Diamond immediately, let’s wait until you learn energy control.”

From what it looked like, despite the Twin-Life Contract being able to harmonize two energies, if it was disturbed during the transformation, it might explode yet again.

To avoid dying from his own skill, it was necessary to give Gamma some special training.

Watching Gamma indulge in good times of energy recovery, Bai Qi suddenly caught on to something, “Gamma, can your Twin-Life Contract only be formed in your main body?”

Ka-pu Ka-pu.

(Only the main body can contract, but Gamma can place it in the sub-body, but the sub-body has no ability to maintain balance.)

“Ah, I see…”

Bai Qi understood as he heard Gamma’s explanation, a sinister smile creeping on his face.

Ah….why?

(Why do I feel that the smile on this human’s face looks familiar?)

“Using the Twin-Life Contract’s instability and the sub-bodies as explosives? I suddenly understand why the main consciousness chose you to contract with.”

Seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Shuck sighed helplessly, having already seen through Bai Qi’s thoughts. As Beta also understood, he was dumbfounded.

Woof woof!

(Art, this is art!)

Ka-pu Ka-pu?

(Master, what are you talking about? Gamma doesn’t understand?)

The concerned beast Gamma looked at Bai Qi and Beta with some confusion, not understanding their thoughts, so he simply bowed his head and continued eating.

The explosion just now had consumed all his energy, so he needed to regain it by eating a lot.

After all, including the energy in the Twin-Life Contract, he needed to eat three times the quantity he previously did.

“Anyways, the result of this competition is out. Shuck Beta, you guys have won.”

Bai Qi patted Husky’s head, announcing the result of the trial.

Whether it was Anti-Gamma armor at first or the electromagnetic field against the explosion later, everything was quite OK.

At least, it was far better than what Bai Qi had estimated initially.

Indeed, with adequate knowledge in Mechanical Engineering, any opponent could be taken down.

Woof woof!

(I won! Does that mean I can eat Mythical Resources now?)

“In theory, yes.”

Bai Qi nodded, but Schuck immediately caught onto the subtle hint in his answer.

“What do you mean, in theory?”

Shrugging, Bai Qi said, “The Thirteenth Bureau needs time to amass resources for your Spirit Type, so you can’t use them for now.”

Howl…

(So, does that mean I still can’t eat it?)

Beta, once again, fell into a state of desolation. The spirited mood from earlier vanished completely.

If he couldn’t consume the resources immediately, why was he putting in so much effort? Might as well just lie down and rest.

“Don’t rush to lie down, there’s still another match to go.”

Bai Qi patted Beta’s head, “According to the rules we just followed, the next match should have been between Gamma and Delta, but Gamma’s current situation is a bit unusual, so you’ll go against Delta.”

Woof woof!

(I think, that’s unreasonable, and I do not want to move anymore.)

At that remark, Bai Qi was rendered speechless. He was about to chastise his slacker pet when Nicholas tugged at Bai Qi’s clothes, pointing towards the devastated Jade Valley, “Bai Qi, could you first help me solve this problem?” “Problem? What problem?”

Bai Qi followed Nicholas’ pointing finger to see that the food Nicholas was meticulously preparing was utterly destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion.

“The boss lady will be here soon. If she sees the dinner is gone…”

Nicholas looked at Bai Qi with a face full of despair. Bai Qi then realized the gravity of the situation, dropped the impending fight, and started helping Nicholas prepare the food with the four pets.

“Huh? Such a big aftermath from the explosion. There is Holy Light and Evil Power. Nicholas, when did you start meddling with this stuff?” DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

Old Lady Fan appeared in the Green Dragon’s Secret Realm. The first thing she saw was the aftermath of Gamma’s explosion, and she frowned slightly.

“Nothing. It was just the result of Gamma’s battle a while ago.”

Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and started explaining what had happened.

“Using the Twin Star Core to merge Holy Light and Evil Power?”

After hearing Bai Qi’s story, Old Lady Fan was somewhat speechless.

“Although Holy Light and Shadow are complete opposites, Evil Power is a chaotic element that neither side wants to touch. Yet you want to maintain balance!”

Bai Qi meekly scratched his head and asked, “Didn’t know about that. Granny Fan, do you have a safer way to solve this problem?”

Although Bai Qi had thought of several methods using the twin-life pact to operate, ensuring stability was essential.

“You’ve already fused them. There’s no way to separate them now.”

Old Lady Fan shookher head and said, “But if you want to stabilize it, it’s best not to maintain a single state for too long. Keeping an unattributed original state is best, otherwise if you impulsively change form, it could easily lead to an explosion.”

“I understand.”

Bai Qi nodded; with the help of the twin-life pact, maintaining the unattributed condition was no problem. However, this meant that some skills wouldn’t always be available.

Yes, it would be good to plan the skills that Gamma could use in different forms, so that he wouldn’t face any problems later.

“Oh yes, you said Delta is also competing? Come on, Granny Fan is a bit bored today. Happy to cheer you on.”

With that, Old Lady Fan sat down in the void as if there was a chair. A formless void appeared to support her.

Oh, the Sky attribute Dragon race is so comfortable.

Bai Qi looked at Old Lady Fan’s smooth operation with some envy and then summoned Schuck and Beta.

According to the rules Bai Qi had initially established, the battle was supposed to be between Gamma and Delta.

However, considering the current threat of Gamma, Bai Qi decided not to risk it.

With Old Lady Fan present, a repeat explosion would not have the same wide- ranging influence, but if Gamma was lost, it would be a significant loss.

“Schuck, Beta, are you sure you’re both ready?”

During the previous battle, Schuck and Beta also took some damage. The advantage of mechanical types is that unless the core system is damaged, recovery is fast. Therefore, Schuck was basically fine. The only worry was Beta’s spirit power recovery.

Woof woof!

(I had stored spirit power in advance; how could I have a problem?)

Alright then, completely forgot about his little invention.

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, looked at the already pumped Delta, and said,

“In that case, let the second match begin!”

Ploop ploop!

(Then, Delta, my apologies.)

The now grown-up Earth-Travel-Dragon-sized Delta nodded at Schuck and Beta. Suddenly, his figure expanded, and transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon and flew to the sky. Soon after, a massive hurricane was summoned heading towards the Husky.

“Um, is it just me or has Delta’s Wind God Winged Dragon grown bigger since last time?”
