I'm a villain, not a devil

It turns out that Xiaoci can't absorb this thing... He brought it back specially for me...

This thought came to Sean's mind after he had absorbed the tree heart that Xiao Ci brought back.

The effect of the tree heart is slightly diluted, but still powerful.

It was not known whether Sean's "capacity" was too large or his absorption efficiency was not high enough, but the tree man called 'seed' only absorbed part of the power of the tree heart and reached the upper level of crimson, but Sean only absorbed one and a half, and was still in the middle level of crimson.

And while absorbing it, Sean could clearly feel that the influx of power was much slower.

However, the speed of purification did not stop.

When it was completely absorbed, Sean summoned Apat again.

This time, Apat's nine fox tails all turned translucent milky white, extremely holy.

"I can feel the pollution and madness moving away from me... From the perspective of the Mad Beast, this is not a good thing, because this is the source of our power. However, after being purified, I did not feel the loss of power... Master, how did you do this? It's amazing..."

Sean didn't have time to explain to Apat as he was completely immersed in the powerful effect of the tree heart.

He just sensed that the rate of proliferation seemed to be completely curbed? !

When the first tree heart is absorbed, only the pollution is removed and the proliferation is eliminated, but proliferation and pollution will still continue to occur, which is inevitable.

But after the second one was absorbed, Crimson's biggest hidden danger disappeared all of a sudden!

Although he didn't know whether this was permanent or temporary, the powerful effect was enough to surprise Sean.

Noticing the gradually rising corners of Sean's mouth, Xiao Ci, who had been watching him, couldn't help but smile.

She always has no expression, but whenever she smiles, she has that delicate and lovely girlish flavor - provided that she doesn't speak. The hoarse and mature voice really doesn't match the petite lolita...

"Brother, is there any benefit?" Xiao Ci asked.

Xiao En laughed and nodded, then picked up Xiao Ci and rubbed her head frantically: "This time, you helped me a lot!"

"It's not helping, it's what a younger sister should do." She shook her head and said seriously.

Sean smiled and said, "Since the beginning when you reminded me that this thing is precious, you have thought about it, right?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ci nodded vigorously, and then, she rarely showed a slightly hesitant expression.

Xiao En noticed and gave him a look, but Xiao Ci still spoke up: "It's hard for me to describe that feeling...but what it means to my brother is different from what it means to the tree man, because you are different."

Hearing her say this, Sean showed a little doubt.

Just now I thought that this thing might only be absorbed by him and the tree man.

Sean did not forget that Bai Ye's special skills detected that his life frequency and that of the tree people were abnormally close - this meant that he and the ancestors of the tree people might have some kind of blood connection.

Moreover, according to Bai Ye's speculation, which had a bit of predictive nature, he might have an inexplicable connection with the hypothetical King of the Treemen.

This may lead to a problem - if the King of the Treemen is killed, he may encounter some troubles, such as falling asleep or withering.

Now, Xiao Ci said that there are differences between himself and the tree man.

Are the similarities and differences mentioned by Bai Ye and Xiao Ci considered to be of the same type?

"Can you notice the specific differences?" Sean asked.

Xiao Ci shook his head and said in confusion: "It's just a feeling. It's hard to describe it, and I can't explain it clearly."

Sean nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood.

This kind of sixth sense-like thing is most likely related to Xiao Ci's true bloodline.

Could it be that there is a deeper connection between the ancient royal family and the mother tree that was chopped down that year?

Moreover, the current royal family has no connection with the ancient royal family...

Thinking about the information he had obtained, Sean suddenly paused.

Purify...

Xiao Ci’s current specialness is not only due to her bloodline, but also because she has integrated that deep blue-level energy chip.

So she possessed the ability to purify, and that purifying ability immediately attracted the attention of the black nematodes and the plague saliva.

You know, this ability has nothing to do with the ancient royal bloodline...

However, there seems to be a connection between the two... or is it the same level of power?

Sean's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that a question he had been thinking about seemed to have a direction for speculation.

That is, deep blue.

The crimson level is already an absolute powerhouse in this wasteland, but it can still be seen. After all, the crimson level crazy beasts make a lot of noise and are easy to find.

At the crimson level, different superpowers, different prosthetics, different crimson crazy beast blood, etc., will bring considerable differences to the strong people at this level, but this difference has not yet reached a level that is completely inexplicable.

Because, there are stronger ones above Crimson.

Deep Blue, Sean was exposed to this concept very early, but he didn't know a lot of information about Deep Blue.

The only thing related to Deep Blue that he had ever seen was the chip that had appeared a long time ago, which had now turned into a lighter branded by the Orange-haired Little Lolita.

Apart from that, he knew nothing about the living Deep Blue masters, any traces of the Deep Blue masters' existence, the methods of advancing to Deep Blue, etc.

There is indeed an information barrier between the King level and Crimson, but compared to Crimson and Crimson Blue, the difference is not small at all.

To be honest, even if Sean reached the Crimson Peak with the power of the tree heart, he didn't know how to go further.

The only person who could be a deep blue is Bai Youming, but when he asked about related topics, he always ignored it...

So, did Bai Youming reach the legendary deep blue?

What Sean has never forgotten is that Bai Youming gives people an extremely terrifying feeling of oppression, but... he never seems to exude a polluted aura?

Not to mention proliferation, Bai Youming must have stayed in Crimson for many years, but Sean's huge mental power has never noticed the other party's mental madness, let alone explode at the sight of him.

Combined with the purification ability of Xiao Ci's Deep Blue chip...

Sean made a bold guess.

If Crimson Peak wants to take a step further into Deep Blue, does it need to clear out all the pollution and proliferation that it has accumulated during the Crimson stage?

This makes sense... Otherwise, how could Xiao Ci's energy chip have purification capabilities because of the Deep Blue module?

The same is true for Bai Youming...

Sean suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. If his guess was true... wouldn't his current condition be the best condition for advancement to Deep Blue?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and suddenly he felt a rare moment of regret.

If that's true, the tree heart shouldn't be absorbed now...it can be left until the peak of Crimson to purify the pollution and proliferation.

But it has already been absorbed, and there is no point in regretting it now. With Sean's personality, he can just curse a few words in secret and forget about it. What's more, his current purification effect has not disappeared. What if it can last for a very long time?

From this point of view, the tree heart that Xiao Ci brought back to himself can truly be said to be priceless.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

"Want to eat barbecue."

"Then have a good meal."

……

"Your Highness, there was no response from Concubine Lan and the Third Prince... It was too late for the Black Pigeon to collapse, so the warden had no choice but to leave."

Listening to his subordinates' report, Bai Zhan slowly frowned.

Then he shook his head: "Then it has nothing to do with us. Whether they can survive depends on their luck. Haha, it has fulfilled the fourth brother's wish."

Putting down the documents in his hand, he spoke again: "The most urgent task is still the construction of the statue of the founder. Remind me every day that this matter must not be delayed. If anyone dares to make money from it, don't blame me for not talking about the friendship between us in the past."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely remind them."

"Well, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your work."

"Yes, Your Highness. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Tomorrow is the meal day for the requisitioned residents. The workload is too heavy and we can't survive without oil and water. However, when the logistics department went to purchase today, an unknown person bought a large amount of meat, which wasted a lot of time."

Bai Zhan frowned: "The military has its own logistics. Who else in the city needs to buy a large amount of food? Go check."

"Yes, but it may take some time, after all..."

Bai Zhan knew that his subordinates meant that he was too busy to handle everything.

After thinking for a moment, he remembered someone.

"That Sean's brother, Cheryl, has behaved well before... Let him handle this matter, but separate him from Ake. The emperor's uncle's people cannot be trusted now..."

"Yes, I will arrange for someone to examine him."

"Well, let's go."

After his subordinates left, Bai Zhan opened the window and looked into the distance. There was the former location of the Golden Dawn. Now, the foundation had reached the final stage, and densely packed workers were busy like ants throughout the construction site.

“I really look forward to the day when it is completed…”

……

The yard of the villa was ablaze with flames, but there was no fire, but instead it was filled with barbecue grills.

Xiaoci wanted to eat barbecue, so Sean bought all the different kinds of meat he could find, and bought a lot of each.

It is estimated that the food piled up in the yard alone can provide a good meal for thousands of people - and even so, Sean has more reserves in the ice storage.

There's nothing else to do, I'm just happy and I want Xiao Ci to enjoy the meal.

Xiao Ci is a pure carnivore. Sean told her to eat to her heart's content. Now she is eating with oil dripping from her mouth and her eyes are blurry.

The previous battle still consumed a lot of her energy, so eating a lot of food could help her recover some of it.

She has reached the king level, and her digestive ability is far beyond that of ordinary people. She has already eaten nearly a hundred people's worth of food.

Several gangster bosses he recruited were walking around sweating profusely, even using their special powers and prosthetics to ensure that no food would be wasted.

Not only does my aunt eat fast, but there is also a big eater here today.

A huge cow leg was stuffed into the mouth and throat, and slid up and down like sucking a lollipop. When the cow leg bone was pulled out, it became a bare skewer.

Cheryl tossed the bone aside and picked up another one.

Sean hadn't seen him for a while. He leaned lazily on the chair and didn't forget to instruct him: "Bai Zhan, that shameless guy, didn't even let you eat enough. Eat as much as Cheryl can. I'll give you enough today."

"woo woo woo woo."

Maybe after saying thank you to her big brother, Cheryl continued to fight.

Not until half of the food in the yard was gone did the two big eaters, one big and one small, take a brief rest.

Cheryl wiped the grease from her mouth and said, "Hiccup, bro, Bai Zhan asked me to check who bought the food in large quantities, and it turned out to be you."

Sean smiled lazily and said, "Oh, you care about this? Your Highness is quite meticulous now."

Cheryl nodded: "He is a little wiser than I thought. I have made many achievements in the past period of time with him, but he still doesn't trust me very much. This mission is probably a test."

"Just find someone and make up a reason to send it." Sean said casually.

"I'm familiar with this--" Cheryl smiled innocently.

He looks stupid, but in terms of brains and means, he is no worse than Moza. Oftentimes, the enemies would be misled by his appearance, and in the end, they would curse him for "unfair victory" - and then be smashed to death by Cheryl's punch.

Standing up and stretching his body, Cheryl scratched his head and said, "Brother, I can't hold it back any longer. If I don't advance, I may not be able to stop."

Cheryl could have advanced before, but he was always suppressing himself.

Sean scratched his head, imitating him: "Then advance. You don't have to endure it. Bai Zhan will be more likely to trust you after you advance."

"No, it's mainly because I have special abilities. I have a feeling... So, I should hold it in for a while longer. However, I can't hold it in for too long. Big brother, you have to hurry up if you have a plan."

"How does it feel?"

Cheryl came over and whispered something. Sean narrowed his eyes at first, then slowly opened them wide, revealing a sinister and expectant look.

"I see... Don't worry, I get it. Just hold it in for a while."

"Yeah, it's okay."

The two brothers were talking when suddenly, a bigger fire appeared in the distance.

Cheryl squinted and looked over. "It's the location of the statue... I can't ignore it when I'm nearby. Big brother, I'm leaving first."

"Yeah, I'll go take a look later."

While Xiao Ci was waiting for a while to eat, he didn't expect that the flames in the distance seemed to become even more arrogant.

"How could such an important place catch fire?" Sean muttered, his body slowly disappearing and melting into the air.

At this time, the flames were burning wildly on the construction site, and people kept rushing out of the fire screaming.

Firefighters and water vetoers were trying their best to put out the fire, but for some reason, the flames were getting stronger and stronger.

"What happened?"

Hearing the honest voice, the person in charge turned around quickly and said, "Captain Sherrill? The fire suddenly broke out and couldn't be extinguished. We suspect there is something strange in the fire!"
