After transferring 1000 degrees of magical energy to the Demon-Hunter Altar, Grimm glanced at Myna who was happily munching on a nut. He held a Magic Stone in one hand and used his magical energy to activate a black rift.
Standing on the Demon-Hunter Altar, Grimm could easily open the rift in the Demon-Hunter Castle's Dimensional Fragment.
Without hesitation, Grimm walked into the rift.
Above his head was the sky that was supported by energy beams. Around him were the rolling waves of the sea. In the middle of the island that was covered with black sand and stones, a ten-meter tall tree was growing strong.
Mobilizing the Force of Nature, Grimm flew straight to the tree in the middle of the island. Four Rain-dew Flower Spirits flapped their little wings and flew over. They trembled as they bowed to Grimm. They were extremely cautious and afraid.
Glancing at the two newly born Rain-dew Flower Spirits, the two little creatures that were born not long ago screamed in fear. They even forgot to flap their wings and landed on the leaves, trembling.
Grimm knew that the two Rain-dew Flower Spirits must have instilled the evil sorcerer's ideology into the two newly born creatures.
Ignoring the thoughts of these little creatures, Grimm confirmed the health of the Gold Breedsnot Mother Tree. He took out dozens of Taukyron Stones from the Dimensional Gap and threw them at the Raindew Flower Spirits. He ordered, "Grind them into powder and sprinkle them on the roots of the Mother Tree."
"Yes."
The Rain-dew Flower Spirits' voices were trembling.
Ignoring these little creatures, Grimm casually looked at the few special experimental plants that were planted around the island. Then, he flew toward the experimental materials that he had collected from the Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Headquarters of the Seven Rings.
Thirty black-armored humanoid creatures were still in deep slumber in the ice. Not one more, not one less.
Grimm circled around the experimental specimens and fell into deep thought.
Although collecting despair was a unique technique developed by dark Magi to collect negative emotions, in some aspects, Grimm's Greedy Flame Giant's devouring of hatred was similar to collecting despair. They were both methods of collecting and using negative emotions. This would also help Grimm in his research of collecting the energy of negative emotions, saving him a lot of time.
Even so, researching and collecting Despair would still take up some of Grimm's time to study Destructive Force, but from the perspective of the long-term nature of his Demon-Hunting career, it was worth it.
With that thought in mind, Grimm's mana surged and he slapped the huge frozen container with one hand, manipulating the repulsive force of the earth to make the container float in the air before disappearing into the world fragment along with Grimm.
On the altar at the top of the Demon-Hunter Castle.
Space twisted, and Grimm appeared on the altar. A huge ice container floated above his head, and under Grimm's control, it gently descended.
"Eh? Young Master Grimm, are you planning to choose a new Soul Slave from these creatures? "
The space on Grimm's shoulder twisted, and Myna appeared, observing the thirty foreign humanoid creatures in the container.
"These creatures? They're too weak, they're just experimental specimens. " Grimm said faintly, and casually took out a frozen humanoid and placed it on an experimental table. After thinking for a while, he used his mana to activate the Green Python Thread to fix it in place.
The first step of collecting despair was to feel despair!
According to the cruel rules of the Sorcerer World's Black Realm, feeling despair was almost every Dark Sorcerer was born with. Otherwise, he would not have become a Dark Sorcerer, but a human experimental specimen raised by a high-level Dark Sorcerer.
There were two steps to the Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer's process of feeling despair. Feeling despair from the experimental subjects, and feeling despair from themselves, to truly experience the powerful energy of the negative emotions.
This kind of cognitive process was somewhat similar to Grimm's observation of Destructive Force.
"Hmm, making the experimental subjects despair, I'll have to think about it …"
Half a month later.
Today was Grimm's weakest period of Poison Refinement. However, looking at his masterpiece on the experimental table, Grimm was still a little excited, flushed. This was an experimental idea that Grimm spent three days thinking about, and then another ten days or so to complete.
At this moment, the head of the dark-skinned humanoid creature was transplanted by Grimm onto the body of a monkey in the Sorcerer World. The rough stitching technique reminded one of Peranos's facial art. Fortunately, the vitality of this humanoid creature was really tenacious. In the frozen state of hibernation, the soul in its head continued to burn, emitting spiritual waves.
As for the body of this humanoid creature, Grimm used sorcerer techniques to maintain its normal physiological functions, and also transplanted many "gadgets" into it.
These gadgets were Grimm's Symbiotic Insects, Sea Snails.
"Hehe, if this still can't feel despair, then I'll have to change to another experimental specimen." After mumbling in a low voice, Grimm took out two bottles of magic potions and poured them into the head of the otherworld humanoid creature on the monkey's body. After that, he began to carefully observe the emotional changes of the experimental specimen's soul waves.
The black crystal ball floated in the air and began to record Grimm's experiment, with a hint of evil anticipation in its eyes.
After a quarter of an hourglass.
The experimental specimen's soul began to fluctuate, which made Grimm excited, and he quickly walked to the side of the experimental specimen.
"Hmm? After a quarter of an hourglass, this creature's cell antibodies are about four times weaker than a human's. Seems like it's due to the evolution process. After all, human sorcerers have developed a strong resistance to magic potions for countless years, "murmured Grimm as he waved his hand, and the crystal ball flew closer.
The humanoid specimen's facial muscles began to struggle and loosen, which was a sign that its soul was gradually awakening.
"It takes nine minutes and fifty seconds for the soul waves to recover, which is more than three times that of a human. Does this mean that the laws of the otherworld this human creature came from have a day and night that is more than three times that of the Sorcerer World?"
Grimm quickly recorded his thoughts and inspirations in his handwritten notes.
"No, I've read before in a book about Curse Sorcery that when one delves deeper into the study of Curse Sorcery, there will be various branches of learning. One of the branches of Curse Sorcery is the biological natural clock branch. The humans in the Sorcerer World are very strange. The Sorcerer World's day and night cycle is twelve hourglasses, and the mechanical clock gears turn for twenty-four hours, but the humans' biological clock is adjusted to twenty-five hours. "
* Sha sha sha … *
Grimm's goose feather pen moved quickly on the handwritten notes.
"Some sorcerers speculated that the ancient humans of the Sorcerer World were not the original inhabitants of this world, which is why they have such a strange biological clock. Some sorcerers also speculated that in ancient times, a day and night in the Sorcerer World had twelve and a half hourglasses, but after that, the laws of the Sorcerer World began to change slowly … "
Suddenly, the specimen's face showed an obvious struggle. Grimm only glanced at it lightly and fell into deep thought again.
At this moment, the specimen was still in the awakening stage of its soul, and all its memories should be from the moment before it was frozen in hibernation. The reason it was struggling now was because of the pain in the memory of that period.
For this specimen, it should be like having a nightmare at this moment, and it still needed some time to completely wake up.
* Beep beep … *
A mechanical instrument on the experiment table made a slight sound. Grimm glanced at it and ignored it.
This was a vital sign recording instrument, one of the common experimental equipment used by sorcerers. Its purpose was to record the life force of the specimen on the experiment table. The sound of the vital sign recording instrument just now told Grimm that the specimen's life force had gradually begun to decline as its soul awakened.
This was a normal phenomenon. Not to mention the rejection between the bodies, just the energy supply alone was far from enough to satisfy the needs of this otherworld creature's soul.
Of course, this also involved more profound academic knowledge about sorcerers.
Grimm did not disturb the specimen's natural awakening process and continued to think.
"In theory, as long as it is a human, there will be half an hourglass in a day when they are at their weakest. This is determined by the nature of the human biological clock. During this time, the human biological clock is folded, and all the resistance of the body and soul is at its lowest limit. High-level Curse Sorcerers will make use of this human weakness to calculate the absolute period of weakness of the victim and cast a curse on them. As for dark sorcerers who study the arcane of life and death, there are also many academic studies that make use of the biological clock of all living creatures … "
While thinking, Grimm, who was writing down the notes, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the specimen.
At the same time, the specimen, who was struggling intensely, suddenly opened its eyes and met Grimm's eyes. Their gazes met.
"It has begun, the process of despair!"
Grimm stopped his train of thought and began to observe this humanoid specimen with rapt attention.
The noseless specimen was stunned for a moment, and a deep sense of fear appeared on its face. Grimm knew that this was because his image as a sorcerer had frightened it.
Grimm lowered his head and made a simple note in his notes. "Fear is not hatred, nor is it despair."
"Gagagadadadadadaguaguagugu …"
A series of simple tones. This otherworld's humanoid specimen's language ability should be far inferior to that of a human in the Sorcerer World. It could produce very few syllables, and its emotional changes were very direct. Its desire to control its body should be far greater than its rational cognition.
However, through the soul, Grimm could tell that the general meaning of the specimen's language was cursing, begging, and frightened. As the other party was just a normal low-level life form, it could not communicate with the soul, and Grimm could not understand the specific meaning of its words.
The specimen gradually began to understand that this terrifying sorcerer, Grimm, would not listen to its language. Its body began to struggle violently, but it found that there was something wrong with its body. When it struggled to look at its bound "body", it could not help but let out a series of screams, "gagagadada" sounds, and its voice sounded like it was about to cry.
"That's not right, there is still no despair. Where is despair? "Grimm was a little puzzled.
Hmm …
"The emotion of despair should be an emotion that a creature will have when it has lost some hope in the future. According to the records, when developing the indigenous foreign worlds, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers would only start to collect despair after the foreign world's creatures had lost the first battle. Could it be that this specimen still has hope in its heart, and hopes that I can turn it back to its original state, so it did not feel despair? "
While pondering over the series of thoughts, Grimm ignored the struggling and crying of the specimen and moved two steps to the side, revealing the original body of the otherworld's humanoid specimen behind him.
The body with black bone armor was lying quietly on another experiment table, and there were many tubes inserted around it.
"Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji …" The humanoid specimen screamed, and one could hear the desire in its voice.
This made Grimm happy that his analysis was correct, but he was also disappointed that the other party did not feel despair.
Then …
Grimm quietly walked to the side of the original black bone armor body of the specimen on the experiment table. After a surge of magic, he began to control the sea snail implanted in it to stimulate the Life Code.
An indescribable ominous atmosphere flowed through.
Following that, the originally hard black bone armor skin began to show some signs of loosening, and gradually began to show signs of separate independent life forms mutating. With a "poof" sound, a mutated internal organ drilled out of the belly button …
"Da da da ji ji, da da da ji ji, da da da ji ji!" The specimen let out a tragic scream, filled with incomparable despair.
Grimm quietly felt this despair, and the crystal ball recorded all the images and information at this moment.
Bang!
The mutated body was torn apart, turning into hundreds and thousands of mutated lives. In a strong energy of despair, the head of the otherworld's creature completely died in despair.
* Beep, beep, beep … *
However, the life signature detector showed that the life force of this specimen had not been completely consumed. According to the rules of the Magi's life energy supply, this creature should still have a considerable amount of life force at the level of the physical body.
However, it was now truly dead!
The only explanation was that the despair had completely consumed the life force and dissipated outside the body, but the life signature detector could not record it completely. As long as a Dark Magus collected this despair energy and used witchcraft to attack other creatures of the same species, the basic attack power would be increased by a trace of eternity.
This was the method developed by the dark Magi to collect despair.
The first experiment was a success, and with a wave of Grimm's magic, the Greedy Flame Giant appeared.
At this moment, the Greedy Flame Giant, which was already five meters tall, was incomparably majestic and mighty. The pure black flames emitted an aura that made one's skin crawl. The Greedy Flame Giant opened its abdomen and swallowed the soul of the specimen that had just died. With a sweep of its hand, the numerous mutated life forms were destroyed, and with a silent roar, it dissipated.
On the experiment table that was dripping with blood, Grimm's eyes were focused on recording his harvest of knowledge and inspiration. From time to time, he would flip through the experiment images in the crystal ball.
At this rate, within a few decades, Grimm should have some results from collecting despair, which would be enough to satisfy the needs of a normal expedition in another world.
Half an hourglass later.
After a simple wash, Grimm went to the dining table and began to eat mechanically. What followed was the evolution of the basic elemental energy resistance of the Penal Prison.
Grimm, who was in the Demon-Hunter Castle of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, began to live a simple and orderly life. He had completely adapted to the long life of a Magus …
