Chapter 794 - 150: Betraying Order
Kelsey’s eyes widened slightly. Hearing Su Changxing suddenly emphasize his name, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said in a hoarse, thin voice:
"Master, do you suspect me?"
Su Changxing said calmly, "No, I just think that with your intelligence, you should be able to see it."
"So you think that high-sequence Insect Race is acting?"
"Acting?" Kelsey picked at her back of the head with a blue hand, pondering: "Doesn’t seem like it, does it have a reason to act? No, it’s just struggling in desperation."
Su Changxing continued, "Why wouldn’t it have a reason? I see that Divine Spirit can’t be considered an Order lifeform, it wouldn’t pass the A22 level, yet it managed to avoid us."
"That’s the reason for the acting—the Divine Spirit is related to the Insect Race. I think you are the smartest person here, Kelsey, you always were."
Kelsey showed a confused expression on her face: "So what’s the connection? Won’t it be fine if we can leave here through the Ninth Dimension?"
Mi interjected, "In that sense, there is a connection. If the Ninth Dimension is broken through by the Insect Race, the worlds below are done for."
"Who can stop them? Those Divine Spirits are all mad, and humans are not match for the Titan Insect Race."
"Given that, you really shouldn’t go to the Sea of Knowledge; I should stop you instead!"
She said, blocking in front of the group, with a clear attitude.
Bruce raised the Bone Greatsword and shouted, "Do you really think I can’t beat you?"
Su Changxing raised his hand to stop Bruce’s behavior; without doing so, he might literally charge forward.
"This hidden barrier probably wasn’t cast by you, Kelsey." He turned his head to look at Kelsey and said quietly.
This hidden barrier that can evade the Perception of high-sequence Insect Race seems too exaggerated. A Tier Five can’t possibly possess such an ability.
A gleam flashed in Kelsey’s eyes, but she smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Master? If it’s not me, who else could it be?"
As he spoke, Su Changxing decisively took action, confirming that the Divine Spirit was indeed Kelsey, or rather, had completely controlled Kelsey.
Through Faith, he had a close spiritual connection with the four Priests, which was a top-down soul connection, where he held absolute dominance.
By using this soul connection, he could erase any of the four Priests in an instant, killing them by soul obliteration.
This required no cost at all.
This is the authority of a God, holding life and death power over followers.
Like an invisible giant hand grasping Kelsey’s entire soul, then continually applying Power, crushing it bit by bit.
Simultaneously, he drew the handwheel, aimed at Kelsey’s head, and pulled the trigger. At such close range, even Miye couldn’t withstand it.
Normally speaking, he wouldn’t need to make such an extra move; the other party was his Priest, and he could easily obliterate them.
Clearly, this wasn’t the normal situation.
Another true Divine Spirit had intervened—it might look like his Priest on the surface but was secretly that Divine Spirit’s believer.
Indeed.
He failed to completely erase Kelsey from the soul level, but blew her head up, splattering blood froth onto the ground around.
Nonetheless, the faint blue invisible barrier still existed, enveloping them.
Su Changxing also noticed something: "This thing probably isn’t just helping us hide but is also helping you hide, right!"
As he spoke, he pulled the trigger again, the bullet pierced through Kelsey’s chest, blasting out a head-sized blood hole, shattering the heart along with it.
Immediately afterwards.
Su Changxing saw Kelsey’s soul pleading, kneeling on the ground, full of humility: "Master, don’t kill me, he is coercing me. He’s been in my mind all along, constantly talking, constantly talking."
"I’m about to go mad; I felt better after becoming your believer—I’m your loyal follower, we can deal with him together, can’t we?"
Su Changxing, seeing Kelsey’s appearance, almost wanted to laugh. This seemed like a loud secret plot, and he didn’t believe what she said: "Do you think I’ll believe what you say now? And wouldn’t it be easier to just kill you?"
Kelsey hurriedly said, "Killing me doesn’t equal killing him. I have a way to fully expose him, let that Order Guard take him out!"
"He’s within my soul; if you suppress him using Faith briefly, I can make him expose himself, but it’s only a fleeting chance—it’s now!"
Once the words were out.
Su Changxing decisively infused a large amount of Faith into Kelsey’s soul, since the only way to fight Divine Spirits is through Faith.
Obviously, he didn’t do this out of trust in Kelsey but as a gamble. Since she became his Priest, she couldn’t be fully controlled by that Divine Spirit.
No doubt that Divine Spirit exposing himself was partly due to Kelsey playing tricks.
She is someone who wavers between two sides.
A large amount of faith poured from Su Changxing into Kelsey’s soul, white lines like threads spread across the pale blue barrier, nearly shattering it.
At this moment, Su Changxing saw an eye open on Kelsey’s spirit body’s forehead, so familiar, seen somewhere before.
In his mind, he recalled those star-like eyes, hanging in the abyss-like sky, unable to remember their exact appearance, but never leaving his mind, lingering for a long time.
This was also the embodiment of twisted spirits, coming from that Divine Spirit.
"Move on! Or you’ll all die today!"
A voice exploded in Su Changxing’s ear, making his mind buzz, his spirit spiraled into brief chaos.
It was the voice from that Divine Spirit, carrying a sense of madness, like a delirious mental patient, unsure of his intentions but with a concrete purpose, deeply terrifying.
Of course, Su Changxing did not pay that voice any heed, treating it as no more than a whisper in the wind.
The pale blue barrier suddenly shattered, and the insect corpses piled on the surrounding ground began to twist, writhing like live flesh, the air filled with thread-like blood vessels.
Everything came alive, an overwhelming aura of terror emanating from Kelsey, the sound of despair rippling from the void, resonating throughout and affecting everything it passed.
This created a suffocating feeling, a familiar sense of oppression, reminding Su Changxing of the days he fled helplessly in the Zombie World.
Who would have thought such power was hidden within Kelsey?
Back then, the place where the Divine Spirit descended wasn’t the Witch Museum, it was upon Kelsey, and the illusion was orchestrated in a moment unnoticed by anyone.
His purpose was the Ninth Dimension, the deep well of the Ninth Dimension, the Sea of Knowledge, which once gathered the knowledge of all worlds in the Ninth Dimension.
With a crisp sound, the pale blue barrier completely shattered and disappeared.
A shadowy figure emerged from the mound of flesh on the ground, its form constantly changing, densely covered with eyes.
Those eyes were also changing, growing and shrinking, altering shapes and appearances, varying between human, insect, snake, octopus eyes.
Such a bizarre being suddenly appeared before them, emanating an odious aura.
This was certainly not the Divine Spirit’s true form, but akin to a projected clone, yet the power it displayed was veritably terrifying.
Its body increasingly spread across the ground, assimilating the insect corpses, pulling some half-dead insects into it.
Su Changxing retreated as swiftly as possible, despite the horrific scene, a smile hung at his lips, knowing they had likely succeeded.
He obviously couldn’t contend with such a terrifying being, but there was someone who could handle it.
"Humans are truly cunning creatures!" That dark, fleshy body roared loudly.
Before it could finish speaking.
A gigantic blade light, like a silver moon, pierced through its form, slicing it into two halves, creating canyon-like ravines across the land.
The entire plain trembled incessantly, like the end of the world, seeming as if the space might shatter.
This dreadful attack unfolded before him, yet he remained unscathed, it wasn’t artillery but an attack of rules-based power, once targeting a goal it wouldn’t harm others.
The dark fleshy body looked furious, the plan was only a step away, yet it failed at the last moment.
Next, Su Changxing’s expression shifted slightly, hearing the Divine Spirit’s voice, spreading wildly across this space full of laughter.
"What does it matter if you discovered me, I’m afraid these tens of thousands of years of depletion have already left you overwhelmed, are you really my opponent?"
During the previous attack, he had already felt a lack of follow-up strength.
The figure of A22 appeared on the ground not far away, standing with its chest out, clutching the slender blade in one hand, silver hair covering half of a flawless face, looking calmly at the fleshy body:
"You could try and see, betraying Order has long deprived you of your rightful power, you’re not my opponent!"
They seemed to know each other, familiar from before.
Su Changxing continued to retreat, noticing densely packed blood vessels appearing in the air, this space being transformed into flesh, seemingly about to come alive.
"Then goodbye."
The voice in the sky suddenly became intense.
Countless flesh blobs surged overwhelmingly toward A22, forming into one long giant arm.
The next moment.
Vast blade lights like silver moon unfolded in the sky, like silvery white laurel flowers, tragic yet moving.
At the collision of both powers, countless tiny cracks appeared across the space, extending from the Sea of Knowledge, teetering on the edge, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.
Just then.
Su Changxing noticed a blue figure swiftly rushing toward the Sea of Knowledge, it was Kelsey, although his body was half-disabled by Su Changxing, it didn’t affect his movement, seemingly having gained quite a bit of power from the Divine Spirit.
