Chapter 395: Strange Phenomenon

As the metal devils started fighting again, Wei Huo appeared in the center of the battlefield. Wei Huo’s appearance made all the metal devils stop moving at the same time.

They looked at Wei Huo, who was three times smaller than them. Then, all the metal devils rushed toward Wei Huo with weapons.

“Is your first reaction to an unknown creature to attack it?”

Wei Huo had appeared to test the metal devils. During his tens of thousands of years of traveling through the universe, he had encountered many different races. Some races had chosen to attack him right from the beginning, and many races had chosen to communicate with him peacefully. However, a small number of races had not attacked or communicated. They had only watched quietly.

Wei Huo had encountered many unknown races. The reactions of these races were all different, but it was rare for them to react like the metal devils. They attacked Wei Huo as soon as they saw him.

That made Wei Huo think that they were unintelligent creatures. After all, they should at least test the other party’s strength before making plans. Such rash actions could easily bring about a destructive blow that would hurt their race.

The metal devils on the battlefield charged toward Wei Huo. They did not even care about their previous enemy. It was as if they already treated Wei Huo as their mortal enemy.

The first metal devil that rushed forward lifted its saber and slashed down at Wei Huo. Wei Huo did not defend himself. He wanted to test the devil’s attack power. The moment the metal devil’s saber touched Wei Huo, a mental wave attacked him.

A mental attack?

That was Wei Huo’s first reaction, as the mental waves were too messy. If it was a message, it should not have been so messy. However, it would be a little bad to call it a mental attack. This mental wave felt like a baby saying something meaningless.

Then, the blade shattered. The moment it touched Wei Huo, the blade shattered along with the metal devil. Besides, the metal devil could not be repaired.

It was dead. It had bumped into Wei Huo, who was enveloped by the aura of death.

The surrounding metal devils seemed to pause for a moment before charging toward Wei Huo. They were all holding their weapons and attacking him.

However, strangely, Wei Huo did not feel their hostility. He felt that these metal devils had souls after that slash. It seemed like souls were not unique to his previous world. It looked like every world had souls.

The metal devils also had souls, but the soul attached to each metal devil was too weak and insignificant to Wei Huo.

The metal devils kept waving their swords at him and attacking him. However, it was all in vain. Wei Huo stood there and did not move. He allowed them to hit him with their weapons, but they would only collapse.

Once they were touched by the aura of death, only death would await them. They could not even recover or be revived like they usually could.

However, the metal devils did not seem to know that. They charged toward Wei Huo with all their might. Even the guards guarding the city center rushed out. They swarmed toward Wei Huo. Gradually, Wei Huo felt anxious, but he did not understand what the metal devils were trying to say.

He did not understand why they were attacking him like crazy. Why were they not afraid of death? They would die if they encountered Wei Huo.

In the end, all the metal devils in the city turned into a layer of silver-white metal dust on the ground. They did not recover, nor did any new metal devils come. The metal devils in this area had been completely destroyed.

Wei Huo shook his head. He had not attacked even once throughout the whole process. If the metal devils had not attacked Wei Huo, they might not have died. However, they’d insisted on doing so. Even though they had known that they would die, they had persevered as if they were being controlled.

That was weird!

Wei Huo was confused, but he could not obtain anything from the souls of these metal devils. Their souls were too weak. The soul volume of a metal devil was about the size of a snail. Wei Huo could not read anything from their level of soul strength. It would be better to say that Wei Huo suspected that they even had memories.

Wei Huo returned to the black-and-white Titan. The Snake God and Chen Xuanyue had already seen what had happened. The seven Temple Knights were silent as they waited for Wei Huo’s orders.

Then, Wei Huo’s next sentence decided the life and death of the metal devils. He said, “This race is an aggressive one. We can’t communicate with them, and they might not have any intelligence. If they attack us, we’ll kill them.”

The Temple Knights lowered their heads and said, “Yes!”

Then, Wei Huo said, “Butler Li, there’s something you need to do.”

Butler Li took a step forward and got down on one knee. “My God, please instruct me.”

Wei Huo said, “Gather all the biologists and sociologists in the black-and-white Titan. Have them study the characteristics of this race together and find out if this race is intelligent or not.”

Butler Li replied, “Yes!”

Then, Wei Huo said, “You guys go and rest.”

The Temple Knights replied and left the temple respectfully.

Then, Wei Huo asked the Snake God, “What do you think?”

The Snake God said, “It’s weird. It seems like a race that doesn’t have intelligence, but they built buildings and weapons. Besides, since they have the ability to be revived, they shouldn’t need an incubation pool or devil eggs. This is very contradictory.”

Wei Huo said, “There’s a possibility that metal devils were ordinary devils at the beginning but were attacked by a virus and ended up like this. The virus infected them and turned them into walking corpses. That’s why they repeat what happened day after day.”

The Snake God said, “This might be the only explanation… It’s really not bad. We just arrived in this world, yet we already encountered such a thing. What is the truth? If it’s really a virus, I want to collect a sample and see what kind of virus it is.”

The Snake God’s desire to collect species reared its head again.

Wei Huo said, “No matter what, this is our first stop. Next, we should start modifying the people in the black-and-white Titan. By following the Rules of this world, we should modify them to match its structure. Of course, Legendary creatures can’t be modified. They can only leave the Titan with Divine Artifacts. Otherwise, they will be broken down by the Rules.”
