Angor took out a special energy detector from his bracelet and placed the Soft Worm under a light-gathering stone on the lab table.
He picked up a pen and began to write down the steps of the experiment.
When everything was done, he began to observe the Soft Worm's reaction under the light-gathering stone.
The Soft Worm, which was in a peaceful state, reacted the same as the normal worms in the control group. Even the way they moved was the same — slowly but firmly.
Next, Angor began to stimulate the Soft Worm's body.
Under mild stimulation and excessive stimulation, the pure-colored soft worm would remain motionless. However, under moderate stimulation, or when other organisms that could endanger its life appeared, its body would gradually gather energy, causing it to slowly float up.
A striped spider was killed by the Soft Worm in a lab container. All of its limbs were broken, and the Soft Worm devoured the remaining parts of its body.
While doing this, Angor also compared his own energy with the Soft Worm. By now, he was sure that the Soft Worm's energy was an illusion, but there was something different about it.
It felt like the Soft Worm's illusion energy was real.
Angor thought for a moment and put on the Energy Observation Lens. Then he activated the Soft Worm again.
Angor raised an eyebrow when the Soft Worm's energy rose again.
This time, he finally saw what was wrong with the Soft Worm's body.
In the world that the naked eye could not see, there was something strange growing on the body of the pure-colored soft worm … limbs!
What Angor thought to be illusions were actually countless tentacles on the Soft Worm's body, which formed a large number of illusory limbs. Some of them were used for sprinting, some for exerting force, and some for cushioning. There were also two sharp limbs on the Soft Worm's head that looked like two scythes.
These "scythes" were what helped the Soft Worm break the striped spider and Dream Weaver Ant's legs so easily.
They were just illusory limbs, but they had real bodies. They even strengthened the Soft Worm's weak body.
Angor's eyes glowed as he read through the experiment process, the results, and the pictures of the Soft Worm's limbs he drew.
He felt as if a seed had been planted in his mind, and the countless illusionary limbs were the nourishment for the seed to blossom and bear fruit.
He never thought of using illusions to reflect the real body and unleash unimaginable power.
Angor found it hard to believe that the soft-colored worm could unleash such power despite its weak body. What if the worm's main body was already strong enough?
If he could also learn this kind of strength similar to the phantom limb, would it increase his combat strength even more?
He wasn't a Bloodline Master, so he couldn't fully utilize his physical strength. However, the phantom limb gave him a new idea.
He quickly recorded this idea in his handbook. At the same time, he conducted a comprehensive analysis of this "phantom limb".
After reading some of Sunders' notes on illusions, he came to the conclusion that the "phantom limb" belonged to the category of illusions.
However, reality and illusion belonged to the category of half-truth and half-falsehood. It was both true and false. Phantom limbs, on the other hand, were completely reflected in the real world, so there were still some differences.
Currently, it was basically impossible for him to create a "phantom limb" right away. He still needed a deeper understanding of the School of Reality and Illusion. However, he had already set the research of "phantom limb" as a short-term goal. He would study it as soon as he completed the model of his door.
After putting away the handbook, Angor looked at the soft-colored worm on the lab table again.
This new type of soft worm, which he had temporarily named 'Phantom Limb Soft Worm', was definitely a positive mutation! Angor didn't see anything like this in Incircote's notes.
Angor looked at the worm with less regret now. Instead, he felt lucky.
Even if the Phantom Limb Worm wasn't a shapeshifting worm, and its phantom limbs weren't strong enough, it could still help him a lot with his illusions. All in all, he didn't lose anything.
Next, he had to think about how to store the worm.
With the Phantom Limb Soft Worm's strength, it wouldn't take long for the Dream Weaver Ant to be reduced to a crippled corpse.
Dream Weaver Ants were rare in the first place, and they were one of the main contributors to Angor's discovery of the dream wasteland. Angor didn't want to let them die.
He considered for a moment and decided to store the worm inside the Demon Cave for now.
The Demon Cave Worm Pouch was something he got from killing "Symbiotic Insect Swarm" Yethew back in the purification garden. The Demon Cave Worm Pouch had some space properties, but it could only store insects.
He put the Phantom Limb Larva inside the Demon Cave and added several drops of Akeso's blood as food for the larva.
On the other hand, he used a dead Soft Worm to simulate the corpse of a Phantom Limb Soft Worm in the nest. He infected it with the unique pheromone of the Phantom Limb Soft Worm and placed it outside the room of the mother worm.
According to Incircote's notes, the broodmother's behavior was something that could be figured out. If the broodmother believed that hatching a particular egg was useful, it would try its best to hatch more eggs.
The broodmother's goal was to kill the Dream Weaver Ant. Phantom Limp Larvae could do that, but he didn't want the broodmother to fall into the trap of producing more Phantom Limp Larvae, so that the broodmother would know what he was doing.
Once the broodmother realized that the Phantom Limb Soft Worm was dead, it would probably think something like "Phantom Limb Soft Worms can't resist the Dream Weaver Ant". Then, the broodmother's chances of producing more Phantom Limb Soft Worms would be greatly reduced.
After making sure that the broodmother sensed the "Phantom Limb Soft Larva", he removed the carcass from the nest and added a new variable to stimulate the broodmother to lay more eggs.
By the time he was done, the sky outside was getting brighter.
Angor checked the time. It took him an entire day to observe and record the Phantom Limb Soft Worms. It was already the next morning.
He planned to meditate first before starting the construction of the door model. However, during this period, Leon knocked on the door.
A moment later, Angor, White Bear, and Angor sat down at the dining table.
Several servants served the breakfast dishes in an orderly manner.
"You brought your servant back to the manor?" Angor asked curiously.
Leon shook his head. "They're here to tidy up the place during the day. They'll go back to Grue Town at night."
"That's good. We'll discuss the next step when the professor comes back." Angor nodded in agreement. He wasn't sure if Eureka's insanity could be cured yet, and the Crimson Crown was still a threat.
"It's been a week, and they're still not back. Did something happen?" Leon looked hesitant.
It did take a long time to capture an apprentice, but he did not think that something bad would happen to the apprentice.
Roland was only an apprentice. Even if Goman King himself came, he would not be able to defeat Sunders. At best, they would end up in a draw.
Perhaps, it was delayed by some matters. After all, Roland was a very cunning person. He didn't even come out personally to manipulate the Crimson Crown. Instead, he sent a mortal to do it. This showed how cautious he was.
Still, it was only a guess. He would have to wait until they came back to find out the real situation.
"Where's White Bear? Did you see anything with your Prophecy? "Leon looked at White Bear.
White Bear looked tired, which meant he hadn't rested for days. After a moment of silence, he said, "Be it Sir Red Hair or His Excellency Phantom Demon, their levels are too high for me to investigate. But I've been thinking about other ways, such as checking their luck. "
"What's the result?" Leon asked.
"The probability of a good outcome is higher."
White Bear's words made Leon heave a sigh of relief. Perhaps because of White Bear's auspicious words, a Demon Falcon flew in from outside the manor when the sunset arrived.
At the same time, he was studying his right eye, trying to record the effects and changes of the two forms of his eye under the stimulation of mana and nightmare illusions.
The chirping of birds interrupted his study.
When he arrived at the entrance of the manor, he saw Brulee fighting against the demon falcon. Brulee was Eureka's familiar. It was an owl with a monocle on its head. Although it was called an "eagle", it was far from being an eagle. This Demon Falcon, on the other hand, was a true, ferocious Eagle-Type Demon.
Brulee was trembling when facing the demon falcon.
The only thing that calmed Brulee down was the fact that the demon falcon didn't attack. It simply stayed on top of the tree and looked around.
Leon and White Bear both arrived at the entrance. They had different reactions when they saw the demon falcon. Leon was cautious, while White Bear was doubtful.
"Could this Demon Falcon be …" White Bear muttered softly. He remembered that there were many Demon Falcons on Phantom Island.
Angor arrived before White Bear could finish his thought. The demon falcon dashed toward Angor like an arrow. Leon was startled and tried to stop it, but he was too slow.
When Leon was about to warn Angor to stay away, he saw Angor caressing the falcon's feathers as if he was very familiar with it.
"You know it, Angor?"
Angor nodded. "It's my professor's pet."
The demon falcon placed its head on Angor's forehead and sent a message to Angor's mind.
