Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 207 Usurping God

According to the law bias and settings, different worlds will have different god systems.

For example, the gods in some worlds are advanced in life forms. As long as the local creatures are powerful enough to a certain extent, they can become gods.

And the gods of some worlds are the representation of a certain concept. They live as long as the heaven and the earth, share the same light as the sun and the moon, nothing more, nothing less, and remain unchanged forever.

In some worlds, the gods do not even exist at all, and the knowing creatures have to use their own power to escape from their home planet and travel across the sky.

The gods of the Yang and Moon world are a bit like "companies" on earth.

If a creature wants to become a god, it must first gain enough credibility through various methods.

For example, Wendigo, in order to obtain the qualifications to become a god, he first attracted a group of similar people and formed an organization called the "Weird Conclave".

Then he took this card and found the Steppe Wolf King who needed help to unify the wilderness, and gained his trust and help.

From this, Wendigo formed his own small team, established a company, and took the first step in the life of a god.

But if the CEO wants to open Cullinan, he needs to make the company bigger and stronger, determine a clear business direction, and obtain sufficient performance.

If a god wants to establish a divine kingdom and be promoted to a divine king, he also needs to determine his own divine power and obtain enough faith.

For example, in the Holy Light Company, their Holy Light priests can provide treatment and psychological comfort to believers, and from time to time they will take action to deal with some disobedient weirdos.

The unique Holy Light career system, supporting advanced training institutions and excellent promotion mechanism within the church have attracted talents from all walks of life to join.

Therefore, Holy Light became an otherworldly god-king-level existence in a short period of time, and its own church also became the Holy Religion of the Glow Kingdom, as stable as Mount Tai.

Therefore, to a certain extent, powerful power and massive faith mean the same thing. If you get one, you can get them all.

But power is not a piece of cabbage. It cannot be obtained by anyone who wants to obtain it. Naturally, it has quite complicated restrictions.

First of all, the gods themselves must have matching power so that they can reach higher and not be sacrificed to the heavens.

A first-level rookie proving to be the god of the sky is just a novel story, it is impossible in reality.

Secondly, things like divine status are like carrots and pitfalls. You can no longer obtain the power that others have obtained unless the corresponding god dies.

Word games are useless. The name that can be changed at will is just a code name, and the concept it represents is unique.

Finally, after the basic abilities are determined, any subsequent abilities acquired or advanced will be related to them.

It is impossible for the God of Bonfire to become the God of Streams. He cannot produce the evaporation reaction.

Therefore, after reading a large number of ancient books, Wendigo carefully chose "Shadow" as his power and regarded "Dark Night" as his ultimate goal.

And instead of radically casting a wide net, they first began to preach within the grasslands as allies of the Wolf King, and it was only recently that they began to spread.

This is the development method of most gods. Find a path with few competitors and no one at important nodes on the road.

This kind of advancement is the safest and safest, as it only has to face competition from believers of various gods.

But there are always people who like to use shortcuts to skip levels and exploit system bugs to cheat.

As a result, the "usurping god" gameplay appeared.

Thousands of years ago, there was a river god who usurped the position of the sea god. They relied on their close proximity in power, making it easy for them to do it quietly.

As for the current "Lord of Creatures", although I don't know what his power is specifically, I don't even know if he is a god.

But obviously, this name means that his development direction is related to positive concepts such as life energy.

And this is the essence of Holy Light.

If he gradually changes and corrupts the creeds of nearby Holy Light believers, quietly steals faith from the Holy Light God, and finally makes Him empty...

Very crazy! It's also dangerous!

But if it succeeds, it’s just one step!

Thinking of this, the murderous intention in Wendigo's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Without him, normal people will argue with good people and bad people, but there will never be anyone who has nothing to do to argue with crazy people.

And since he is so bold, he must have the confidence behind him to do so. After all, a pure gambler will not sit on the high position of a god.

and so.

It's better to leave such a tricky thorn to the Holy Light to worry about. I just need to follow the footsteps of the Wolf King and steadily promote the progress of the plan.

even say...

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, the King of Glow is cowardly, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are just pigs and dogs. This is a piece of fat that all the gods are staring at.

So, can this arrogant Mr. Dominator serve as the vanguard of his attack on the radiance and a shield to withstand the wrath of the Holy Light?

After thinking about it, the Wendigo returned to his smiling, seemingly friendly but actually arrogant attitude.

[Friend, your advice is very interesting. In fact, the biggest gain I have gained in my long life is a cautious attitude towards life]

[Perhaps my recent experiences have made me a little anxious and I have forgotten my original intention as a god, but I am making you laugh.]

[So as you wish, I will no longer interfere with the land and believers of the Kingdom of Glow, which is my apology]

???

No way, I broke my ears?

Threats and pressure are just fun, and Ji Ming has no intention of using this to overwhelm Wendigo in negotiations.

His purpose is actually to drag the opponent into an arena where trash talk is exchanged from a distance, and then use his rich combat experience to break his defense on the spot.

After all, the internet is full of insults, and the one who gets anxious first loses.

As a result, he slapped him in the face, and instead of being angry, the other person even used a hot water bottle to warm the other side of his face, intending to warm him up.

This is completely inconsistent with the inherent impression of Wendigo in his mind

——A cunning old man who is used to pretending to be kind, but whenever he takes action, he turns out to be extremely dirty.

There must be monsters when things happen, and there must be something fishy about this matter.

But the other party has already taken the initiative to retreat three miles. It would be rude of him to pursue him any more.

Hey, I had originally taken out the recording crystal that Eleanor had given me, and was ready to enjoy Brother Sheep's screams again...

Forget it, let’s wait until we have the opportunity in the future.

So Ji Ming followed his words.

[Then, I accept your apology, Wendigo, remember to pay attention next time]

……

Bastard, what's this feeling about the master reprimanding the slaves?

After saying this, the Master of Creatures hung up the call directly without even a polite word of farewell.

The Wendigo's anger, which had finally been calmed down, began to surge again. He gritted his teeth, and even the black robe burst out with continuous red flames.

This is the divine posture he obtained after achieving the Shadow Godhood. He looks like the abyss demon described in mythology in a trance.

A biting cold wind was blowing in the huge tent. If a mortal stepped into it, he would be instantly robbed of life.

Under the surging divine power, even the strange little lich Martha felt uncomfortable and hurriedly whispered.

"Sir Speaker, have the negotiations broken down?"

...No, anger is a sign of incompetence!

Martha is an important part of Wendigo's expansion plan. He still needs this talented lich to help him launch the undead disaster.

So he quickly controlled his malice and restored his former composure as much as possible. "Little Bones, there will always be some unhappiness in this world. Anger and frustration are normal, but the most important thing is to find a way to solve it."

After talking to himself about some of the old sheep's philosophy of life, Wendigo wrapped herself in the black robe and walked out of the tent.

This time, the people saluting him outside the door were no longer steppe werewolves, but two strong skeleton soldiers who were obviously transformed from orcs.

"Go ahead and help me make an appointment with His Highness the Wolf King to discuss the Early Spring Offensive and..."

He looked at the leaden sky, which was covered with dark clouds and a few snowflakes would fall from time to time. There was no emotion in his empty eyes.

"After everything is over, the official war against the Kingdom of Glow."

Behind the curtain, Ji Ming took a sip of the spirit-gathering liquid with some unfinished meaning.

Although it felt really good to hear the old sheep head bow his head and apologize, it was a bit disappointing not to see him break through the defense.

As for Wendigo’s guaranteed exit from Sunshine City…

Ji Ming's idea was that he could listen. For a god like this, it would be harder for him to spit out the meat he had eaten than to make him die. At least Ji Ming didn't believe it.

Anyway, the map about the shadow believer's stronghold has been given to Eleanor. Let's see what results the Holy Light Church can find out later.

After taking a short rest and turning on the teleportation function, Ji Ming came to the morgue.

The corpses of Edgar, the Abomination, and the Gargoyle lay here side by side, each with a more peaceful face...well, each one more distorted than the last.

Sylvia's resurrection magic is not invincible. The higher the target level and the longer the death time, the lower the possibility of resurrection, and the probability drops sharply.

Moreover, these three crazy villains are really of no use value, and even as optional races for players, they are incompetent because of their ugly appearance.

So Ji Ming collected their corpses here just to store them in pieces and save them for later, without intending to resurrect or use them.

but……

The backstory of Edgar and Abomination is already known from the diary, but nothing about the gargoyles is known.

In line with the inherent habit after collecting the corpses of strong men, Ji Ming first took out the resurrection card and looked at the conditions of the three corpses one by one.

Only then did I realize that the background of this gargoyle was not trivial. He was actually an elite captain in the Dark Flame Kingdom's army.

It was just that after Sylvia and their top combat power exploded, she turned back into a stone statue state because of her fear of death and lack of energy.

As the saying goes, the bastard is the one who stays still. He squatted in place for ten thousand years and did not come back to life until today.

Tsk, no wonder he was besieged by players and died. He didn’t even have any decent last words when he died. It turned out to be the little Yakuza...

With a secret smile, Ji Ming pointed the resurrection card at Abomination, but there was no hint in his field of vision.

……

Impossible. The spearmen have already received experience. How could this suture monster not die?

After thinking for a while, Ji Ming directly activated [Saint's Judgment], which activated the one-eye fixation and biological perspective effects.

Only then did he discover that in addition to the twisted limbs and organs in Abomination's body, there was something similar to a bottle inserted into the heart muscle.

Mobilizing the morgue's own segmentation system, Ji Ming completely broke open the abominable corpse and took it out.

This is indeed a transparent glass bottle in the shape of a petri dish, with something similar to an embryo floating in the unknown liquid.

"What is this, a man in a bottle?"

Could it be that this is the true form of hatred, and the mess of flesh in front of me is actually the dirty body it got rid of?

Ji Ming really didn't know much about alchemy. The only thing he learned was from reading various urban legends and literary works, which was not true.

So he quickly took out Edgar's inheritance and began to look through the notes and records in it, trying to find clues.

While Ji Ming was busy flipping through the book, the embryo in the bottle suddenly trembled and opened its eyes.

It looked very young, with a completely fish-like appearance, and its two eyes were surprisingly big.

"Fuck..."

Fortunately, there was an isolation circle on the battleship between the two. This was the skill of the little boss, so Ji Ming didn't have to worry about the other party getting angry.

In the silent confrontation, he was still hesitating what to say when he saw the other party open his mouth.

"dad."

what?

Ji Ming's heart trembled, and he immediately turned around and looked behind him.

But if you look around, there are only all kinds of corpses all over the mountains and plains. There is nothing scary at all, let alone living things.

Is it possible that this is its characteristic call, just like the bark and meow?

However, when Ji Ming turned around after thinking, what he heard was another call from the creature in the bottle.

No, could it be something that can become invisible?

However, no matter how Ji Ming checked, searched, and even called the little boss out, he still couldn't see anything.

[Savior, do you think there is a possibility that the father it calls is actually you? 】

Ji Ming is not a person who is used to self-doubt. He prefers to be tough-talking.

"It's impossible. I've been abiding by the law and keeping myself clean all my life. It's impossible for me to be a father."

Opening Edgar's diary, Ji Ming focused on searching for information about "life" this time.

After reading it carefully, I discovered that Edgar's purpose in creating Abomination was not to create a war machine, but to create a life to accompany him.

Therefore, the embryo in the bottle is most likely an artificial life hatched from the body of hatred.

——Edgar succeeded after all, after he died.

It has been hundreds of millions of years since the birth of the Yangyue World. There are indeed ghosts who have successfully created life, but they are not many.

And those players were either blasphemous acts by powerful empires, or they were acts of defiance by powerful gods.

This is the first alchemist who has not completed a single professional course in the academy and has become an alchemist by practicing all kinds of wild ways.

"Brother Tou, you are really a genius!"

Ji Ming couldn't help but sigh and closed the diary.

But the dead Edgar is the good Edgar, and there is no way he could cause trouble for himself by resurrecting this anti-human alchemy madman.

The faint blue light swept across the glass bottle, and Yang Yue also gave her own test results.

[The current embryo is still very fragile and requires a lot of energy and alchemical techniques related to life and soul to maintain it]

[But if the cultivation can be successful, with the help of the entire team, it is very likely to create a perfect life]

[Savior, what do you plan to do with this existence? 】

"Disposal? What a fart!"

After kicking the alchemy books piled almost as high as him, Ji Ming sighed.

"Why don't we kill him? Let's make ends meet."

　I corrected the typo in Chapter [-] and entered it again... ugh
