Picking Up Attributes From Today - Chapter 382

Frieza brought Meng Lei away with him.

Shortly after they left, several streaks of light shot to where they had previously been. Every one of them had a strong and forceful aura around them and gave off vast and mighty divine power—they were evidently all high-level higher deities and Great Perfection super experts.

“Three Naga dead bodies!”

“And the aura of residual power of divinity!”

“It’s likely the Frost Gods!”

“The Frost Gods have taken the Chief God divine core!”

“Find them! The Chief God divine core has to be…”

The group of experts immediately launched an inch-by-inch search, vowing to find the Chief God divine core no matter what. After all, they would never give up something like a Chief God divine core!

However, what none of them knew was that Frieza hadn’t really left. Instead, he had taken Meng Lei with him, hiding dozens of millions of kilometers underground.

“The most dangerous place is usually also the safest place. I’ll stay right here and hide within plain sight. Who would be able to find me that way?

“When I’ve assimilated the Chief God divine core and become a supreme Chief God, everything will be set in stone, and all of you shall prostrate at my feet!”

Frieza brought out the ice cell imprisoning Meng Lei, intending to kill him, but before he could do anything, the ice cell broke on its own.

“How can this be?”

Frieza was stunned.

“What? Are you very surprised?” Meng Lei had a big smile on his face as he said, “Surely you didn’t think that you really could trap me? What the heck, someone the likes of you actually thinks he can trap me? What were you thinking?”

“Mysterious Ice of The Depths!”

Frieza snapped back to reality in no time and brazenly launched an attack. However, before he could cast his Mysterious Ice of The Depths, Meng Lei had frozen him to the spot.

Meng Lei was also using Mysterious Ice of The Depths, but the difference lay in the fact that not only was his Mysterious Ice of The Depths tricolored, but it was also a powerful ultimate-grade special ability. Frieza struggled desperately after he was sealed in ice by Mysterious Ice of The Depths, but he couldn’t do anything about it at all.

“Why did you capture him, kid?”

Moro appeared out of thin air and stared at Meng Lei in puzzlement. In his opinion, there was no need for Meng Lei to go to the trouble of pretending and allowing Frieza to capture him.

It was too much trouble!

He could easily just kill Frieza instead. After all, the two of them were in two completely different leagues in terms of combat power.

“I naturally have my own motives in doing so,” replied Meng Lei with a hint of a smile.

“Your motives? What motives?” asked Moro curiously.

“Because he has the fifth type of supreme laws of nature on him!” Meng Lei could hardly hide the greed in his eyes as he said, “Didn’t you sense it? This guy’s a real Great Perfection deity. He’s already comprehended a sliver of death laws of nature!”

“So what even if that’s the case? It’s ultimately still just a mere sliver. It isn’t enough to cause a qualitative improvement in his combat power, so he’s just a notch stronger than most average Great Perfection deities, that’s all,” scoffed Moro.

Given Moro’s perceptiveness, he could naturally tell that Frieza had already assimilated metal, dark, ice, wind, and earth laws of nature and started to comprehend death laws of nature.

But so what even if that was the case?

It wasn’t like they could make use of it anyway!

“You’ll understand in no time!”

Meng Lei chuckled, and then he gave the order to plunder.

Boom!

A wave of information about death laws of nature instantly gushed into Meng Lei’s mind. He hurriedly gathered his thoughts and began to digest it quickly.

A long while later, Meng Lei slowly let out a pent-up breath, and a joyful smile formed at the corners of his eyes.

“Haha! It’s complete! I’ve completed all five types of supreme laws of nature!”

“What are you talking about?”

Moro stared at Meng Lei with a puzzled look on his face.

“How many types of supreme laws of nature are there exactly, Moro?”

Meng Lei threw him a question instead of answering him. He asked, “Aside from the five great supreme laws of nature—time, spatial, life, destruction, and death—are there any other types of supreme laws of nature?”

Although Moro was awfully puzzled as to why Meng Lei would suddenly ask such a question, he nevertheless shook his head and denied the possibility. He answered, “There are only these five types of supreme laws of nature. There isn’t any other.”

“That’s great!” Meng Lei exhaled and said, “This also means that I’ve already started to comprehend all five types of supreme laws of nature, so what I need to do now is to earn Divinity Crystals, buy credit, and bring them all up to completion!”

“What exactly are you mumbling about, little fellow? Why is it that the more I hear what you’re saying, the more confused I am?” asked a somewhat displeased Moro.

“Haha!”

Meng Lei chuckled lightly. Then, a laws of nature chain suddenly formed at his fingertip. It gave off a ghastly white glow like that of a dead man’s pale, bloodless complexion.

“D-death laws of nature!”

A huge jolt went through Moro. He rubbed his eyes hard, unable to stop himself from exclaiming, “You… How come you’ve comprehended death laws of nature?”

Meng Lei pointed at Frieza and replied, “I plundered it from him.”

Gasp!

Moro couldn’t help but gasp at his response. “You actually have that kind of ability? Could it be that… This was also how you had obtained the other four types of supreme laws of nature that you’ve previously comprehended?”

“Well, I guess so!”

Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he casually killed Frieza, sent his carcass into the Tower of Time, and tossed it to the little golden tree. As for its divine core, he also tossed it into the Tower of Time after he erased its divine spirit.

Ol’ Amos, Puhaman, and the others were currently chatting idly in boredom with one another on the Tower of Time’s 99th level. They could swear that these few days since their arrival at the Earth Divine Realm were the idlest and most leisure period they had ever spent after becoming Meng Lei’s followers. With nothing to do all day, they were utterly bored to tears!

They sorely lacked power of divinity, so they didn’t want to stay idle like this. They wanted to get down to work, to spread their faith, to enrich their power of divinity, but unfortunately…

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a ghastly white divine core suddenly fell from the sky and landed in Ol’ Amos’ palm.

Just as puzzlement came over everyone, Meng Lei’s voice abruptly rang out. He said, “Ol’ President, this is a Great Perfection divine core. Why don’t you assimilate it?”

“What?”

“A Great Perfection divine core?!”

His words caused a great furor to go through the deities.

Everyone’s gazes fell onto the divine core sitting in Ol’ Amos’ palm at the same time, the look in their eyes one of open hunger. A Great Perfection divine core! That was a Great Perfection divine core!

As long as one assimilated it, they would be able to rise and become a Great Perfection deity in a single leap!

A Great Perfection deity!!

“Mine! This is mine!”

Ol’ Amos snapped back to reality and hastily held the divine core close to himself as he watched the others warily, the look on his face as though an old mother hen protecting its chicks.

Snatching it from him?

He wasn’t worried about the others snatching it from him, of course. This was purely just instinct. After all, a Great Perfection divine core was simply too precious, so much so that he couldn’t help but act with extreme caution.

Everyone quickly urged, “Hurry and assimilate it, Ol’ President!”

Although they also desired the Great Perfection divine core, none of them tried to snatch it from Ol’ Amos.

That was something that Meng Lei had specifically handed to Ol’ Amos. How would they possibly have the guts to snatch it from him? Wasn’t that tantamount to committing suicide? It wasn’t as if they were tired of living!

“You don’t need to envy him, guys. Everyone that deserves one will eventually get one!”

Meng Lei’s voice rang out once more and put their hearts at ease once and for all.

Everyone’s hearts began to burn with fervency at once. First a lesser deity divine core, then a higher deity divine core—Master had never disappointed them before!

And now, a Great Perfection divine core… He wouldn’t disappoint them this time, either, of course. Now that the first one had come, next would be the second, the third…

Everyone was filled with anticipation the moment they thought of that.

Suddenly, a puzzled Fatty Hart asked, “How strong exactly is old bro when he can get his hands on even a Great Perfection divine core?”

“Uh…”

Everyone looked at one another and hazarded a guess.

“Great Perfection-level?”

“That seems a little off! How can Master hunt and kill Great Perfection deities and obtain Great Perfection divine cores if he’s only Great Perfection-level himself?”

“That seems to make sense!”

“Could Master be… a Chief God?”

“A… A Chief God?”

“S-surely not?”
