Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Chapter 453 Heart Crystal

An ingredient with the power to influence the mind!

Fan Wei was very surprised. This was not an ingredient that he had cooked using 'soul cuisine'. Red Poison naturally possessed spiritual attributes.

He suddenly realized that this was why his previous 'appeasement' strategy had worked.

Having found his direction, Fan Wei felt confident. Since the Red Poison could sense emotions and spirits, it was time for him to put his skills to use.

Imbuing ingredients with 'emotion' is his forte!

Putting away his kitchen knife and large pot, Fan Wei went to the edge of the Blood Lake. He used his True Overlord Battle Qi to gently draw a wound on his palm, causing crimson blood to drip down. He squatted down and slowly immersed his palm into the lake.

Red poison can also penetrate through wounds.

After discovering in the experiment that he did not absorb the red toxin, Fan Wei was able to come into contact with it without worry.

He used this method to make himself a link with the red poison, turning himself into a cooking 'utensil'!

The viscous water surface produced gentle ripples, which at first resembled the disturbance caused by a touch, but never stopped, as if shrouded in an invisible realm.

The blood-stained red poison surged fiercely into the body from the wound.

Fan Wei shuddered, feeling as if molten metal was being injected into his palms and arms, spreading rapidly and causing excruciating pain. His body even felt an urge to undergo a strange transformation!

But the sudden appearance of a massive number of crimson runes in his mind calmed down.

Just like in the experiment, the red poison traveled through the body and into the depths of the mind. Fan Wei heard the faint sound again, but it vanished in an instant.

The red poison was rejected again, and evaporated into red mist that emanated from the body.

This time, Fan Wei did not let the red poison disappear. Using the bridge of the red poison invading his mind, he began to try to communicate with and unite the red poison, and many ideas were generated.

All sorts of things—sunny and cheerful, serious and earnest, gentle and delicate, passionate and exhilarating...

Different emotions and thoughts are created, which can influence the mind, and the mind is also influenced in the opposite way. The mind is either rejected or attracted between different thoughts.

Fan Wei felt a sense of familiarity with this feeling, as if he had had a similar experience before, just like...

Just like how we dealt with 'original malice' a few months ago!

Upon closer reflection, there are indeed similarities! Fan Wei couldn't help but recall that on his first day in the capital, he was attacked by mysterious people, who also possessed something that resembled primal malice.

Is there any connection between these two?

Before I could think it through, the billowing red poisonous fog reacted.

They condensed into tiny dots, like light particles twinkling in a nebula, following the emotions and thoughts conveyed by Fan Wei, changing slowly.

Some of them rapidly grow larger and crystallize, forming a new form with high concentration!

Success! Fan Wei was thrilled, noticing that the condensed crystals varied in shape and also differed in their formation speed.

Unfortunately, he couldn't discern which emotions and thoughts were the result, but as long as it was effective, it meant he was on the right track.

The billowing smoke and blood-red light naturally attracted the attention of the White Angel and the Archangel.

The angel stopped humming and appeared beside Fan Wei in the blink of an eye. She looked up at the red crystal growing in mid-air with a focused and serious expression, as if she had finally found something that interested her!

Eventually, most of the red poison condensed into candy-sized particles and fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.

Don't be fooled by their small size; the amount of red poison they contain is astonishing!

Fan Wei opened his eyes and collected the crystals falling from mid-air into his hand. The main component of these crystals was still red poison, but they seemed to be somewhat different.

Compared to the red poison, they possess an indescribable purity.

Each one has a different feel, with vastly different colors and luster, like a kind of sublimation and qualitative change.

"Hmm, I suddenly think the name Xin Jing is quite nice."

Fan Wei named the new dish and launched the first main course at the End of the World Red Restaurant!

"This is a gift for you."

Holding the bright red heart-shaped crystal, Fan Wei nervously handed it to the angel. He believed the angel would understand this obvious act of giving, but would she like it?

The white angel tilted her head silently, sizing up Fan Wei and Xin Jing.

With a whoosh, one of the heart crystals disappeared from her hand. The angel's slender, sharp fingers held the dazzling crimson crystal, with a tentative curiosity about something new.

Seeing her actions, Fan Wei held his breath and observed patiently.

Finally, the angel moved.

Several fine strands of True Overlord Battle Qi spread from her fingertips, wrapping around the Heart Crystal with an unprecedented gentleness, like anemone tentacles, before suddenly piercing it!

The Heart Crystal was immediately activated into a dazzling ball of light, bursting with brilliant flashes.

The black and red True Overlord Battle Qi transformed into connecting lines, greedily and rapidly absorbing and transitioning those bright red and boundless energies.

During this process, the angel's bone wings naturally unfolded, spreading out a halo of light. The sun-like light enveloped her entire body, making her look just like an angel from mythology!

What Fan Wei found even more special was that there were countless crimson runes flowing within the halo, most of which were similar to those he had seen in his mind!

Is this a manifestation of the laws of war to some extent?

Fan Wei saw more gentle True Overlord Battle Qi spreading from the angel's body, taking away all the Heart Crystals in his hand. One after another, red light spheres erupted, surrounding the glowing angel.

This is a peculiar way of eating and digesting that belongs to angels.

However, it seems that even she cannot digest so many Heart Crystals immediately.

As Fan Wei observed and pondered, he wanted to figure out exactly what effect the red poison had on these super creatures, and why he couldn't absorb the red poison even though they both possessed the laws of war.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, something suddenly approached from the vicinity.

Turning around, I was shocked to see that it was the Angel of Power, which had absorbed a lot of bones and turned into a ball of white bones.

Its single, deep yellow eye shone through the gaps in the bones, first sweeping over Fan Wei, then gazing at the angel, its color turning from yellow to red.

Several heart crystal orbs that were absorbing energy around the angel were suddenly affected and deviated from the pull of the True Overlord Battle Aura, flying towards the Angel of Power.

Before Fan Wei could react, a sharp whistle pierced his eardrums, and his originally soft and silky True Overlord Battle Qi instantly straightened up.

Countless black and red throwing knives rushed towards the Angel of Power, causing it to tremble violently and its bones to scatter all over the ground.

The Angel of Power emitted a dull moo, yet it continued to pull at the Heart Crystal relentlessly, ignoring the attacks that landed on it.

Is this... fighting over food?

Fan Wei was stunned and didn't know what expression to make. The angel of power, which had been beaten up, was not angry at all. In the end, its exoskeleton was stripped off, and many scratches appeared on its extremely hard shell.

But it actually managed to snatch a few!

The Heart Crystal floated in the red light emitted by the enormous single eye, being slowly absorbed, and rings of light also spread out from the Angel of Power.

Compared to the white angel, the power angel's halo is a slightly darker color, with concentric rings of crimson runes expanding and contracting like flames.

Fan Wei also saw many runes that were identical to his own, which were perhaps the manifestation of the flames of war in the laws of war.

The two 'angels' quieted down; their digestion was probably going to take a while. Fan Wei was very happy that the food was enjoyed by the 'diners'.

It's a pity that we can't get reviews and feedback from diners.

He realized that he had been in the End of the World for quite some time, and there were still many things to prepare. After observing for a while, he silently returned towards the Red Restaurant.

The two angels paid only slight attention to Fan Wei's departure, and then focused on absorbing the rare energy in the Heart Crystal.

The benefits they can gain from this are probably far greater than the chef himself estimated.

Shortly after Fan Wei left, the 'Black Moon' at the bottom of the Suppression Pillar above the End of the World suddenly emitted an unusual light.

Accompanied by lightning that streaked across the sky and struck the earth, a figure landed on the desolate, blood-soaked plain, with fiery red hair and a handsome yet indifferent face.

A being with the appearance of a young man, but an old soul, closes its eyes.

"The air here is much more pleasant."

Taking a deep breath of air that seemed stained with blood, the young man's pupils instantly transformed from round human pupils into vertical pupils resembling those of a snake and a dragon. His body began to swell, harden, and grow scales.

A few seconds later, a brand new 'monster' with a body resembling a dragon and a head resembling a human joined the End!

"Roar!"

The furious roar shattered the surrounding monsters that were rushing towards him without understanding the situation. The young man took a fierce breath, and a massive amount of flesh and blood poured into his mouth.

It devoured the highly poisonous flesh and blood completely, like a bottomless pit!

“Not quite enough.” The young man coldly opened his eyes, a circle of tiny runes swirling within them, shooting out a foot-long beam of light. He opened his hand, and a circle of red light waves rapidly spread out, sensing the life force within the End Land.

"Hmm! Such powerful blood essence energy!"

Suddenly revealing a hint of excitement, the young man flashed into the air, his leap so fast it was impossible to see him.

He spotted the large lake in the distance and the intense ripples emanating from its shores.

"What kind of blood essence is this, with such amazing energy? If I digest this, I can recover most of my strength!" A hint of excitement showed through his cold demeanor as the young man bent down and rushed forward.

With a loud thud, he landed, and all he could see were two indistinct orbs of light and dozens of slowly shrinking red lights. The source of the powerful energy was in those little red dots.

It was actually absorbed? A cold glint flashed in the young man's eyes as he coldly extended his dragon-shaped claws towards the cocoon-like ball of light.

Suddenly, a wave of terror and fear swept through my heart!

The red glow outside the orb dissipated, and all the energy was swallowed up by the center. In the blink of an eye, a slender, pure white figure appeared before them without warning.

The young man stared, then his expression changed drastically. He took two steps back in shock and fear, and then suddenly knelt down heavily!

The angel showed no emotion towards this. Beside her was the Angel of Power, who appeared in an instant, radiating heavy pressure. This was completely different from the silly, big guy Fan Wei had seen.

The icy chill seeped into the young man's entire body, and the once incredibly powerful man didn't even dare to lift his head!

He could only manage to squeeze out two words with reverence—

"Son of God!!"
