Chapter 417 Strange Things and Changes

Earl trembled slightly upon hearing Meros's words.

He knew that Meros was not someone who would be moved by his pitiful appearance, so he quickly put away his pathetic look and stood up.

Earl's movements were somewhat slow, given his enormous size, but he still managed to adjust his posture as quickly as possible, assuming a fighting stance.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead, every muscle in his body tense, as if he could unleash tremendous power at any moment.

Just as Meros had expected, the sphere of light on Fei Bo's chest opposite him had become extremely weak, almost completely disappearing, with only a tiny bit remaining exposed, as if it would be completely extinguished at any moment.

"Uh—hehehehe—"

Just then, Fei Bo suddenly let out a low, labored breath.

The sound was extremely strange, as if his throat had been slit open, making it impossible for him to breathe properly, and he could only make this sound, similar to the sound of a tattered sack being blown by the wind.

Surprisingly, after emitting this series of low gasps, Fibre's body did not undergo any drastic changes as Meros had expected.

However, all the wounds on his body, large and small, healed instantly, including the two deepest and largest ones. They closed up quickly and no more blood flowed out.

"Heh, heh heh heh heh—"

Immediately afterwards, Fei Bo, with his eyes closed, let out a series of hoarse and low laughs. These laughs revealed an indescribable joy, allowing one to clearly feel his inner happiness and contentment.

Then, Fei Bo slowly opened his eyes, as if he were waking up from a deep sleep.

Earl stared at him and was suddenly surprised to find that all of Philip's changes were concentrated in his eyes.

Fei Bo's eyes, which were originally as deep as the ocean, have now completely changed.

The varying shades of blue in his pupils, like layers of the deep sea, had now been replaced by pure gold.

The gold color lacks any depth or dimension, as if a careless painter had simply applied a base coat where the eyes should have been colored.

However, it seems that the eyes of the new model are not simply a base color, but rather that the layer blending mode has been changed from normal mode to glow mode.

His eyes constantly emitted a dazzling golden light, exceptionally bright and impossible to ignore.

"What...is this?"

Earl looked at Philip with suspicion, his heart filled with doubt and wariness.

He couldn't understand why Philip had suddenly changed like this, so he turned to Melos and cast a questioning look at him.

Meros stared blankly at Fibo's current form, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Tsk, it's temporarily leveled up."

Meros stared at Philip, then spoke to Earl without turning his head.

Earl's doubts did not lessen much after hearing Meros's explanation.

He stared intently at Philip, trying to find some other flaw in him.

Meros seemed unconcerned about Earl's reaction. He sighed softly and then transformed his cat paw back into a human hand.

Then, he reached out and made a cut next to himself.

This opening is like a black hole, deep and mysterious.

Without hesitation, Meros reached his hand into the opening, as if he were groping for something.

After a while, his hand suddenly gripped something tightly and then began to pull it outward with force.

Just as Meros pulled his hand outward, an amazing thing happened.

His body began to change, starting from where his hands had turned back into human hands, as if an invisible wave was spreading out from him.

The fluctuation spread at a visible speed, and Meros's body gradually transformed from a half-cat, half-monster form back into a human.

His muscle lines became smoother, his skin became smooth and delicate, and his originally sharp claws turned into slender fingers.

He started with his wrists, then his arms, then gradually moved to his head and chest, and finally to his waist, transforming back into human form. The process was like a wondrous magic show, leaving everyone in awe.

And Meros's hand finally emerged from the space, as if it were reaching out from another world.

When his hand was fully revealed, the object in his hand was also finally shown in its entirety.

It was a long object that looked rather strange.

It is adorned with some strange, colorful specks of light that shimmer faintly, adding a touch of mystery to the entire object.

However, despite these colorful dots, it looks more like an ordinary wooden stick overall.

"!!!"

When Earl saw what Meros was holding, he suddenly screamed, his voice so loud it seemed to lift the roof off.

"Boss, you actually took this out? Is that brat that difficult to deal with? Do you need to use this?!"

His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Earl was startled, his fur standing on end, like a frightened dog.

His mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out; he could only let out a gasp of astonishment.

Meros was clearly displeased with Earl's reaction. He frowned and rubbed his ears, seemingly uncomfortable from Earl's shout.

"You're too noisy. Go and restrain that thing that's about to separate from his body."

Then, he spoke to Earl in a serious tone.

Earl shuddered upon hearing Meros's command, immediately realizing his earlier lapse in composure.

"(⊙o⊙)...Yes! I guarantee I will complete the mission."

He quickly composed himself, took a deep breath, stood at attention, and answered in a firm voice.

After answering the question, Earl stood up as fast as lightning and pounced on Philip without hesitation.

However, his target was not Philip himself, but the shape of the thing next to Philip that was not yet clearly visible.

This mysterious object was actually the golden liquid that flowed from the heart of Phibos after he completely merged with the sphere of light.

As soon as these liquids hit the ground, they quickly solidified into that incomprehensible substance.

It must be said that the shape of this thing is really peculiar. It looks more like an opaque slime, and it exudes a strange and nauseating smell.

The smell made people feel nauseous and almost vomit.
