This "parasite" was obviously a very strong monster.
As a "biological weapon", it had two forms: one was the original form of a metal sphere, and the other was the combat form that evolved according to the body of the parasite.
In its original form, the parasite had an excellent "erosion" ability. With this ability, it could parasitize the body of most creatures... Even Edini, who was at the level of a Time Officer, would not be able to resist.
Of course, this did not mean that the parasite's ability would be effective against a real Time Officer...
For the parasite to succeed in its "erosion", there were prerequisites. If the parasite's spirit and body had reached a certain level of strength, or if the parasite had a special attribute, the erosion would fail.
For example, if Sam Montier encountered a parasite, nothing would happen to him. Spiritually, he had the power of faith of the Phantom Fiend Church as his backing. Physically, he was a satyr who relied on the power of corrosion. He would be lucky if he did not infect others. Who could infect him?
Unfortunately, Edini was a "human" and did not have any special attributes. His spirit and body were not strong enough to withstand the "erosion". At most, he could only buy some time.
Therefore, after more than half an hour, the parasite finally destroyed the host's consciousness and successfully took over the host's body, entering the "combat form".
In the combat form, the parasite had more abilities.
First, it could replace all the body fluids and internal organs of the parasite with its own body - a kind of silver semi-solidified substance.
This way, the body would be immune to pain and have a certain degree of self-healing ability.
Secondly, it would modify the host's brain so that they would be completely immune to mind control abilities.
Third, it could catalyze the host's body to achieve the goal of "proliferation" or "mutation", changing the host's body shape and greatly increasing the host's combat ability on the physical level.
In short, the current Erdini … or rather, the parasite that had taken over Erdini's body … other than intelligence, willpower, and experience, its combat prowess was undoubtedly higher than the original Erdini's.
A monster like this, even on the Queen Anna's Revenge, could kill a lot of people.
But... even so, Blackbeard did not plan to attack.
Of course, he was not afraid...
It wasn't to hide his strength either.
In fact, Blackbeard really wanted to tear this monster who killed his confidant into pieces with his own hands. Only by doing so would he be able to calm down the guilt and anger in his heart.
However, he held himself back …
Because he knew that at this time, at this place, letting the crew deal with this guy was the most appropriate choice.
Compared to his anger, the anger of the people on the ship was more urgent.
Moreover, as the overlord of the Chaotic Ocean, the captain of the Queen Anna's Revenge, and the legendary pirate, he would not and could not easily make a move.
An "opponent" who could make Blackbeard face his sword must also have a certain level of "qualification".
For example … Feng Bujue could do it. The Four Pillar Gods could also do it. As for the Mad Eye … he could make do with it.
However, a "weapon" created by someone else like a parasite, a rude "monster", definitely did not have the right to do so …
…
"Avenge First Mate!"
“ROAR~”
"Chop him into pieces!"
Things developed as Blackbeard expected. After listening to his eulogy and the words "kill him", the morale of the pirates instantly skyrocketed.
The anger of revenge was burning, and roars full of murderous intent came one after another.
Under the leadership of a group of "cadres", the crew swarmed up and launched a siege on the parasite.
At this moment, the Blackbeard Pirates were more terrifying than the previous battle with the Mad Eye's troops. The parasite also clearly felt that the momentum of the people around it was different from when it boarded the ship.
And this amazing change made the parasite … feel fear.
This emotion was still very strange to the parasite, but it quickly suppressed its innate desire to kill and made it have a very rational and correct idea – escape.
As a "biological weapon", the parasite did not have the determination to fight to the death, nor did it have any beliefs or hatred. Therefore, when it lost the motivation of "bloodlust", even if it still had the combat strength to "fight to the death and perish together with some of the enemies", he would not put it into action.
Just as the parasite hurriedly turned around and was ready to jump into the sea to escape.
Suddenly, there was a rush of wind.
That was the movement of the ropes on the Queen Anna's Revenge.
No one controlled those ropes, and no one even touched them …
The ship seemed to have its own will. It stretched out her "hand" and firmly grabbed the "enemy" who was ready to escape.
"Cough … cough … ugh-" The parasite was entangled by the rope and pulled into a "big" shape in mid-air. It squeezed out a few struggling groans from its throat, but the rope wrapped around its neck immediately suppressed the sound.
The parasitic body that could easily break through the Light Matrix released by the Swan was actually unable to move because of these ropes. Clearly … this legendary pirate ship itself contained some kind of powerful force.
Seeing this scene, Hong Hu and Snow both felt a little scared. Just imagine, if Blackbeard turned against them, if they stood in the opposite position of the pirates, maybe … death would come more suddenly and fatally than they thought.
…
The battle didn't last long.
Perhaps, this wasn't a "battle". It was more accurate to call it a "punishment".
The previous words and deeds of the parasite had attracted enough hatred for it. Anyone who saw its death could confirm that it was absolutely impossible for it to heal itself.
In a sense, its "self-healing" ability became a burden in the process of being killed.
Ten minutes later.
Just when the crew was almost done "venting", Blackbeard appeared on the deck again.
He didn't say much, just glanced at the silver substance all over the ground, then issued an order to "restart in 20 minutes" and returned to the captain's room.
After the captain entered the room, except for some younger crew members who still needed to stay to repair and wash the deck, the other pirates dispersed.
At this time, Feng Bujue thought of an idea and said to the two teammates next to him, "Let's help wash the deck."
Ambitionist and Snow both understood that this fellow must be up to something again. The two of them asked in a questioning tone at the same time, "What are you trying to do?"
"Oh …" Feng Bujue saw this and chuckled, "I just want to collect some 'samples' while it's still hot."
