I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 294: Chapter 275: Talent Recycling Station, Karsas_3

From the severed head of Karsas, a wisp of ethereal blue misty energy began to drift slowly, twisting and surging, as if drawn by some invisible force, gradually taking shape.

”What is this...?!”

The ethereal blue mist trembled violently, as if struggling, screaming, and finally—

”Hiss—!!!”

A shrill, inhuman shriek suddenly erupted, the mist twisted frantically and instantly transformed into a translucent specter—a gaunt, skeletal body, ragged scholar’s robe fluttering without wind, and hollow eye sockets burning with two ghostly blue flames, like a wraith crawling out from Hell!

Qin Tian’s breath caught.

After death, Spiritual Power should dissipate into the world.

But perhaps it was Karsas’s grievances and bitterness before death that were too intense, perhaps his unique brain development, or the catalysis of the Soul Seal, that caused his spirit to mutate, transforming into one in a million...

Undead!

”Heh... heh...” The undead Karsas slowly raised skeletal hands, ghostly blue flames frantically flickering around it, and the temperature in the lab plummeted to freezing point.

Its ”gaze” first fell upon the female researcher’s corpse, then turned to Qin Tian, squeezing out a hoarse whisper:

”Is this my new body.”

Karsas felt the cold energy surging within him, and suddenly, a strange smile appeared on that skeletal ghost face.

”So this is what death and rebirth feel like, Master, would you call this a different form of immortality?”

”Uh, I suppose it counts.”

Qin Tian squinted his eyes, staring at the undead Karsas hovering in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, this mad scientist seemed to adapt quickly to his new form—even from that hoarse whisper, Qin Tian detected a hint of twisted excitement.

”Truly a brain-abnormality madman...” Qin Tian muttered to himself, ”Even in death finds joy.”

Though Karsas could no longer infiltrate the Empire’s research institute, surviving in an evil spirit form, it actually opened new possibilities for his worth. More importantly—

The [Netherworld Ghost Contract] finally found its use!

Qin Tian raised his hand, a dark rune floated in his palm, its patterns squirmed like living creatures, exuding a chilling aura. He gazed at Karsas intently, speaking in a deep voice:

”Karsas, since you’re no longer among the living, let’s sign another ghost contract.”

The ghostly blue flames flickered in Karsas’s eye sockets, he slowly turned his head: ”A contract? Heh... interesting.”

Qin Tian wasted no time, the rune in his palm suddenly burst into a blinding black light!

”With the netherworld as witness, soul contract—establish!”

In an instant, countless black chains shot out from the rune, entwining Karsas’s Spiritual Body. The ghostly blue flames intertwined with the black chains, emitting a piercing shriek. Karsas did not resist; instead, he spread his arms wide, allowing the contract’s power to invade his Soul Body.

Seconds later, the chains abruptly tightened, transforming into a stream of light and shooting into Qin Tian’s body.

Simultaneously, the [Netherworld Ghost Cave] within his chest slightly warmed, a dark vortex slowly unfolded before him, emanating a chilling pull.

”Come inside; this will be your new home, within the ghost cave, your power will grow rapidly,” Qin Tian said lightly.

Karsas emitted a low chuckle, his figure transforming into a stream of ghostly blue light, diving straight into the vortex.

Feeling the newly added cold energy within his body, Qin Tian’s lips curled into a smile.

”Ghost soul scientist... heh, not a bad start.”

”However, since you are now dead and reborn in a new form, how about a new name? How do you feel about Karsas?”

The cold energy within his chest fluctuated slightly.

”I like it. From today, I am the Death Singer—Karsas.”
