Chapter 777 - 445: Genesis Supplants Thought—Human Evil Crowds the Mind
Susu’s Divine Purification Demon Eye is incredibly powerful in certain aspects, containing a series of complex techniques that connect to Margaret, as well as the ability to undergo demonization.
In fact, because it suits Xue Dili’s eyeball switching, this trait allows Xue Dili to create all sorts of tricks.
But there are also many drawbacks; for instance, this KDA display feature only shows the number of kills but not how the kills were achieved.
This resulted in Susu’s earlier shock and ghost-like reaction upon seeing Xue Dili’s kill count.
Actually, over 90% of Xue Dili’s billion-plus kill count is from the Super Iron Curtain battle, connecting to the World Consciousness via Genesis, wiping out all polluted "pseudo-bugs" on the entire planet.
However, evidently, from the perspective of the Divine Purification Demon Eye, these "pseudo-bugs" are considered humans; it probably judges based on spirituality, categorizing these faux-humans that only look human as human.
Similarly, even though this noble Baron only has 3 kills, from Xue Dili’s view, that’s quite low for a feudal noble. Not accounting for duel killings, the servants who died because of him surely exceed this count.
He even seemed responsible for combat in their world, so battlefield killings are normal.
This made Xue Dili perplexed when seeing only 3 kills, turning to look at the others.
The Half-Elf had 2 kills, and the noble young lady had 1 kill.
In a civilized world, seeing someone with hover kills would warrant investigation, but for these people in the feudal era, Xue Dili felt their kill counts are too few.
Could it be the monster’s identity corresponds to oneself?
Xue Dili pondered silently.
...
Meanwhile, the Mimic Venerable King missed its target again.
After all, this place has been under the Apostle’s care for unknown years, and now it is just a fragment.
Using this fragment to confront a full-powered Apostle on its home turf seemed too much.
But it’s fine; although unable to directly catch the Apostle, "you can run but you can’t hide," very soon, the Mimic Venerable King calculated a method that doesn’t involve actively seeking out the Seventh Apostle.
That method is the ritual commonly found in these subspaces, known as "Evil God Worship."
As the ritual’s name suggests, it’s a ceremony to worship the Evil God, with its source rooted in the Seventh Apostle’s true self.
In the thousands of subspaces controlled by the Seventh Apostle, various kinds of people live, many of whom are chosen to struggle for survival in these spaces.
They must navigate diverse subspaces, where backgrounds and stories are meticulously arranged by the Seventh Apostle, fully exploiting the fear of these "meat pigs."
Here, they might encounter unreasonable abnormalities, tormenting demons, deep-sea fishmen, tentacles devouring them instantly, or be stared down by wandering evil ghosts from outside windows.
They need to survive fearfully and arduously through missions.
Yet, a glimmer of hope should remain, for hope breeds greater, more unsettling fear, making the Seventh Apostle promise that once a team completes 9 missions, they enter the ultimate "Evil God Worship" ritual.
Here, the last person to complete the ritual gets a wish granted.
Any wish is possible, even escaping the Seventh Apostle’s control, as promised in the rules and authority.
Thus, this Evil God Worship task represents the final mission, where they could return home, not having to endure death and terror periodically.
The Mimic Venerable King realized if the ritual directly contacts the Seventh Apostle, why not lay in ambush, complete the ritual, and surprise the Seventh Apostle with a "Surprise, buddy!"
Then, the Seventh Apostle began analyzing the consciousness content it deciphered.
"A poet dies at sea, a painter dies wandering, an executive dies to betrayal, a coward dies to bravery..."
Mimic Venerable King: "..."
The ceremony content feels familiar... Why does it resemble the game Xue is playing?
Instead of chasing the Apostle, the Mimic Venerable King started calculating the information of this death cruise.
Making such a basic error doesn’t happen often, but it’s not too late to rectify; immediately calculating this death cruise’s data.
It’s too ancient to completely calculate, but discovered that in this current cycle, the oldest veteran aboard this ship completed 9 missions, meaning the task Xue Dili is undergoing is their "Final Task."
As long as they complete this task, the Seventh Apostle’s true self, the Evil God, can be summoned.
"Then what’s the point in calculating? It’s already a struggle with insufficient computing power; directly proceeding with the ritual seems better," the Mimic Venerable King instantly complained.
Ready to step back, ready to persuade Xue to abandon playfulness, seriously finish the mission.
