Infinite Weird Game
Chapter 396: The Sacred City Godless Land
Vader has always been a man who feels good about himself.
In reality, he was born at a pinnacle that most ordinary people would find difficult to reach in their entire lives. Since he did not need to take responsibility, naturally no one would point out his faults.
In the game, he easily survived each dungeon by his unscrupulous behavior and indifference to human life, and with some innate gaming talent, he climbed up the overall leaderboard smoothly.
He was naturally not the strongest, nor was he the most suitable person for weird games, but in his opinion, he was truly gifted to be among the best at such a young age.
He knew that there were top-notch people like Fu Jue above him, but he privately felt that these people's qualifications might not be much better than his, it was just that they had been in the game longer than him.
Rather than burning yourself out, it is better to belittle others. This is Vader's way of life.
However, at this moment, bathed in the gaze of the Ancestral God, his soul was shocked by the pollution of the god level, and witnessing the confrontation between Qi Si, Fu Jue and the Ancestral God, he could no longer maintain his composure.
It turns out that the confrontation between players and dungeons in the weird game can reach this level; it turns out that this is the strength of Fu Jue's group of players; it turns out that the dungeons he cleared in the past were just small fights...
The golden sacred city was instantly dyed as white as a snowy mountain by layers of spider webs. More and more silver-white silk threads intertwined between heaven and earth, almost filling the entire world.
The door of the temple was broken and wide open, revealing the statue enshrined at the bottom of the hall. The cloth covering the eyes was blown away by the wind, the contours of the face became soft due to the erosion of wind and sand, and the solemn robe turned into a flowing skirt.
Fu Jue was fixed to the cross by long nails, his head lowered, blood gushing from his wounds forming a pool at his feet. If it weren't for his fingers trembling slightly, others would probably have taken him for a corpse.
Qis stood stiffly in the open space beside the cross, his body below the waist was entangled in white silk, his eyes were covered with a layer of grayish-white shadow, and he seemed to have lost the ability to move in an instant.
This is the power of God, and this is the world that the holder of the identity card comes into contact with... Vader stared at the [Forbidden Scholar] card in the upper right corner of his sight, feeling awe and a hint of expectation at the same time.
Although he always felt that Asakura Yuko had set him up before her death and was very unhappy about it, he had to admit that he had gained the qualification to participate in the final copy and the benefits were real.
As the saying goes, "Danger and opportunity coexist." I heard that identity card holders can compete for the throne of god, but I wonder what it feels like to become a god?
However, this identity card doesn't seem to be very useful except for collecting knowledge and letting him see some weird scenes that will cause him to lose SAN...
Wade was imagining the near future endlessly, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder blade as if a sharp weapon had pierced through it.
I saw the pages of history book in Qis's hand falling in the wind not far away. It turned out that the effect was activated at the last second when he was completely controlled.
The record of [The Son of God was crucified] was refreshed before his eyes, and the field of vision was filled with bright red, a sign of death.
Wade thought to himself that this was bad, and he lowered his eyes with difficulty. He saw several long spikes appear out of thin air in front of him and pierce his body...
……
"Why is your blood red?" In the pure white space, the woman looked into Qis' eyes and asked seriously.
Qis was completely exposed to the gaze of the Ancestral God. The thoughts at the bottom of his brain gave birth to dense buds, and each bud was uncontrollably thinking about the questions asked by the Ancestral God. To be more precise... it was searching for the hidden answers in his memory.
Why... is the blood red? The blood of gods should be golden, why is his blood red? Why...
Random questions rose and fell in his mind, but he didn't get any results in the end, and the ancestor god also returned empty-handed.
The color of his blood showed that he was not a true god. The reason behind it was hidden and difficult to find. The relevant memories were erased by Qi in advance and lost in the missing thirty-six years.
——He is not complete. Whether as a human or as a god, he is incomplete. His humanity is extremely thin, and his divinity has not yet been constructed by faith. He is a monster wandering in the void, destined to never find his tribe.
"Guess." Qis raised his head and looked directly at the Ancestral God. The fear surging in his veins almost condensed into substance, causing phantom pain in his skin and flesh.
He opened his mouth and manipulated his facial features to reveal a twisted smile: "Perhaps you will know the answer when you wake up in my body? But - do you dare?"
Unlike Fu Jue and Wade, he possesses the status and authority of a god, but his body remains in a human state. It is almost obvious that there is something wrong with this body.
If the Ancestral God takes over the bodies of Fu Jue or Wade, he can still return to the throne of God with the help of his status and authority. If he revives in his body, he will most likely be trapped in the human state for a long time, just like he is now.
It is known that with the tacit approval of the rules, the revival of the Ancestral God is only a matter of time. He has survived billions of years and there is no need for him to take unknown risks in the last few days.
The woman was silent for a moment, then suddenly moved closer to Qis and made a judgment word by word: "Qi, you are afraid."
Her temperatureless spirit overlapped with Qis's body, and the silvery-white threads wrapped around Qis's wrists in circles. A bone-chilling chill spread from his heart to all directions and flowed through his nerves.
"Being a human or a god makes no difference to me. All living things are me, and I am all living things."
"Really? That's such a coincidence." Qi Si was still smiling, and his smile showed a bit of madness because of the uncontrollable facial features. "Whether you choose to revive in my body or not, it will make no difference to the pleasure it brings me."
The fear of the ancestor gods comes from the original memory of the birth of the gods. It is a sticky feeling of being dominated. No matter where you go, you are stuck by the spider silk. Everything from thoughts to behaviors are written by the ancestor gods.
What he saw was what the ancestor god wanted him to see, what he heard was what the ancestor god wanted him to hear, what he thought was what the ancestor god wanted him to think... The boundless haze penetrated into every corner and became a presence almost like air, which could not be escaped, avoided, or dispelled.
But in Qis's own memory, there was no such ancestor god who controlled and oppressed him. He was free, even solitary and unrestrained.
His parents died prematurely, and he also dealt with his uncle's family who had abused him. He returned all the people and things that made him unhappy with him with full malice. For a long time, he did not know the taste of fear, so he did not worship God and did not believe in any existence.
The moment he saw the Ancestral God, he seemed to be torn in two. Half of him was driven by instinct to feel fear and dread, resisting everything related to the Ancestral God; the other half was excited about facing a strange creature, and frantically wanted to know what it felt like to kill a being of the Ancestral God's level.
Li is trapped in Chang Xu's body and cannot return to the strange game; then will the ancestor god be trapped in his body as well?
Qi Si was looking forward to knowing the answer.
……
Under the sky of the Holy City, where gold and silver lights intertwined, Wade was nailed to the cross, blood gushing out from the nail holes. From time to time, new nails pierced into his body, causing miserable cries of pain.
He knew that he was destined to die, but he had no regrets. There was no way out for him in the "Sacred City" dungeon. When the Ancestral God descended, ordinary players could not resist his might. If the identity card holder did not want to be parasitized by him, he had to embrace death first.
Not to mention the two old scoundrels Fu Jue and Qi Si. The former holds dual identities as a high-ranking official in Jiuzhou and puppeteer of the Xila Guild's president, while the latter has become famous recently and became a god in a recent copy.
Being plotted against by these two people, Wei De thought that his death was not unjust, and looking at the current situation, Fu Jue and Qi Si would definitely not survive, so how could it not be considered a one-for-two exchange of both sides? Thinking about it this way, it was a huge profit!
Wade comforted himself and looked at Fu Jue who was also nailed to the cross. Then he saw the feathers on Fu Jue's body fade away at a speed visible to the naked eye, blood flowed back into the wound, and the nails popped out of the flesh. [The hidden effect of "Fallen Savior" "Return" has been triggered and cannot be activated again in this instance]
[Note: You once used your life to exchange for their survival, and now you can use their lives to exchange for your revival. They came from you and will return to you.]
The three puppets in the corner collapsed to the ground in an instant, going from a half-dead state to completely losing their breath.
Fu Jue walked down the cross as if nothing had happened, and stood steadily on the ground covered with spider silk, his expression not changing at all.
He tilted his head slightly, as if noticing Wade's unwilling look, and walked over slowly, saying in an unchanging tone: "You feel pain. After discovering that I was saved, you feel a psychological gap, and your will can't fight the pain of the body. I can help you end your pain and reset your chances of survival, but the price is that your free will will be reset to zero..."
At this point, Fu Jue paused for a moment, his eyes falling on the bloody hole on Wade's shoulder. "It is currently impossible to determine whether the execution mechanism caused by the recording effect is the same as other execution mechanisms, but considering your bleeding rate, it can be judged that you still have 30 seconds to make a decision."
Wade wanted to say toughly, "I'd rather die than be saved by someone like you," but when he thought of the wealth waiting for him to enjoy in reality, his harsh words turned around in his mouth and came out as a weak "Save me."
The next second, a silver-white thread wrapped around his little finger.
……
Qis shook off a thread, and then more threads entangled his body. He did this several times and then he was too lazy to struggle anymore. He sank his consciousness into the depths of his mind and summoned the long-lost [Netherworld Attraction].
[Name: Netherworld Guide]
[Type: props]
[Effect: Consume one page of paper to transform any existence into a ghost. (Duration: 60 seconds, the number of pages is refreshed once per copy)]
[Note: He controls the affairs of the underworld and is in charge of the affairs of the underworld. Whoever he says is a ghost is a ghost.]
Just two seconds ago, Qis noticed something was wrong. In Qi's memory, the ancestor god never said much, but would personally manipulate the gods into the way he wanted them to be.
But the woman in front of him was talking to him patiently, explaining her motives and purposes, which was something the ancestor god from billions of years ago would never do.
The superior does not need the understanding of the sacrifice, unless he is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. This principle applies to any existence.
Qis tried to activate the effect of [Ghost Attraction] on himself, but the imagined resistance did not appear. The exposed skin turned gray in the blink of an eye, and the blood flowing out turned a corrupted dark purple.
He felt the power of the ancestor god in his body retreat and laughed: "No wonder you are so hungry that you have no choice but to eat. It turns out that you are at the end of your rope."
……
"He is really at the end of his rope." Fu Jue stared at the two overlapping figures in the white cocoon, his lenses reflecting bright white spots. "The decision was made based on a low success rate, which was a bit like gambling. When he was caught in a fierce battle, he could not perceive the external situation, but I found an opportunity to take advantage of him. Twilight of the Gods?"
"What do you mean? Isn't Ragnarok the one from twenty-two years ago?" Wade had already come down from the cross. He was now covering the bloody hole on his body and asked, "What should we do next? Join forces and wait for them to finish their fight and pick up the loose ends?"
The latter sentence was pure nonsense. He was not stupid and naturally knew that Fu Jue and Zu Shen were competitors of the same path and were destined to fight to the death. Now that he had freed up his hands, he would most likely help Qi Si escape from trouble.
He had the intention of trying to find a solution to the dungeon, but he heard Fu Jue say calmly: "Based on the optimal solution for the group, there is a simplest way to end the game..."
……
[The last believer has died. Congratulations to the pagan camp for their final victory.]
[Congratulations to player Fu Jue for clearing the faction confrontation dungeon "Sacred City"]
Qi Si heard the cold system prompt sound and laughed out loud.
His limbs were completely numb, and the cold had crept up to his jaw, making it impossible for his mouth to open. His laughter rolled in his throat, sounding dull and eerie.
Although the ancestor god is weak to a certain extent, he is still a centipede that is still alive even after death. As long as he keeps on fighting, he will eventually devour his soul and inherit his body.
The crux of the matter is time. He is gambling that there is not much time left for this copy.
The ending has been unlocked, all the prerequisite steps have been completed, and only one step is left to pass the level; and Fu Jue will do his best to cooperate in order to eliminate the threat of the ancestor god.
The white silk on his body became transparent like melted ice and snow, and the pure white scene cracked into narrow gaps. Qis's perspective continued to rise, and finally stopped above the temple, overlooking the earth.
At daybreak, believers from the east, south and north districts came out and gathered in the square in front of the temple one after another.
They heard the noise last night and dared to come to check this morning. Now they were looking at the believers in the temple, the body of Father Laci, and the Son of God nailed to the cross outside the temple, all in bewilderment.
Flor crawled out of the pile of corpses and showed people the miracle of resurrection. To everyone's surprise, he did not thank God for his grace, but pointed out God's evil.
He claimed that courage and wisdom are innate gifts of human beings, and freedom and life are eternal rights of human beings. The evil god seized them and gave them to human beings in return, using a little favor to exchange for human gratitude, which is a huge scam.
The believers found it hard to believe for a moment, but Father Rach was dead, the priests were missing, and the altar behind the temple clearly revealed the bloody secret before them.
They looked at the bodies of their fellow countrymen who had died tragically and no longer dared to talk about piety, not because they sympathized with the dead, but because they were afraid that they would become one of them one day...
From then on, the Holy City no longer believed in the Holy Lord, but began to believe in an inanimate thing called "the cross".
[Fanatical believers think they know the hidden truth, but they cannot help but fall into another carefully woven lie]
【Later historians believed that the Holy City was the first godless place where theocracy was overthrown by the people. But is there really no "God" here? 】
[Whether it was man who drove out theocracy, or God who abandoned man, that is the question. ]
