Chapter 345-2: Spreading Extreme Evil, The Last Move (2)
[Foreign lost child, are you willing to create a new god with it?]
Every hair on Lin Xun’s body stood on end, his hands and feet turning ice-cold.
‘Foreign lost child’ was the name the Desire Wet Nurse had used for him when its consciousness first descended.
He finally remembered what was wrong.
Flanda’s control over the Pilgrimage Angel Mother Body had been granted by the Desire Wet Nurse. How could it still control the Pilgrimage Angels after betraying the Desire Wet Nurse?
[In a daze, the one standing before you is not a young girl named Flanda, but a mature, voluptuous lady.]
[You cannot see Her face. You can only feel that incomparably benevolent, tender gaze. Like the figure you saw at the laboratory entrance, She is voluptuous and captivating, gentle and graceful…]
[You stare blankly at the figure before you, forgetting everything. You only feel filthy desire surge and erupt, and without regard for anything you pin her beneath you and viciously vent your desire…]
[…]
No wonder the Desire Wet Nurse had let him escape so easily, without chasing him down.No wonder the Desire Wet Nurse, despite being able to descend its consciousness and control Flanda before Flanda became an Oathbreaker, had allowed it to become an Oathbreaker and leave the web of consciousness.
No wonder Flanda still held control over the Pilgrimage Angel Mother Body after becoming an Oathbreaker.
It turned out the Desire Wet Nurse had never left. She had been occupying Flanda’s body all along.
Those acts of becoming an Oathbreaker, that urgent desire for revenge, were all fake!
[…]
[You open your eyes and slowly awaken…]
[The moist, damp water vapor in the air tells you that you are at Forbidden Lake.]
[You struggle to stand, only to feel your entire body go limp and weak, even taking a step requiring effort.]
[Your vision is blurry and hazy. You cannot see anything clearly.]
[On the lakeshore not far away stands an intact divine idol. You force your weak body over to the shore and finally see the idol’s appearance clearly.]
[Mother lovingly nurses the maggot-worms in her arms. The idol is intact as before, without a single crack.]
[And the place where the Primordial Firefly idol once stood is now only a patch of shattered stone dust, with no sign of restoration at all…]
Lin Xun’s expression was blank.
Recalling Flanda stomping the Firefly idol to pieces, he knew that Belatu, the one who had betrayed the Desire Wet Nurse, was most likely dead beyond any doubt.
He opened the Shell Slots and checked the Shell status.
He was not currently possessing the Shell of the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, but the Shell of the Palace Master of Iya Palace.
In the Shell Slots, several Fire-Worshipping prefixed Shells, aside from Saio Chisoku-hime, all had a temporary weakened status attached.
The other Knowledge-Seeking prefixed, Corrupted prefixed, and Desire-Bearing prefixed Shells were unaffected.
His heart sank as he checked the malice tattoo on the chests of the Fire-Worshipping Shells.
The malice seeds that had remained on their chests were completely gone, leaving not a trace behind.
Lin Xun summoned the Nine-Tailed Fox and Nurarihyon. The malice seeds on their chests were still preserved.
He let out a small breath of relief, asking the two summons whether they had responded to the summon just now, and whether they had seen anything.
As expected, the answers were negative.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Xun began to think calmly.
“Why didn’t the Desire Wet Nurse kill me? After getting the extreme evil factor as it wished, I have no value to Her anymore…”
Combining this with the Shell statuses in the Shell Slots, he had a faint answer in his heart.
The Desire Wet Nurse’s ambition was so vast it was beyond measure. She did not just want to fuse with the extreme evil factor, she also wanted to fuse with more life factors.
And to Her, Lin Xun, who possessed many different prefixed Shells, was an unparalleled treasure vault.
Maybe after the Desire Wet Nurse succeeded in overcoming the extreme evil factor, She would come to find him again and continue drawing the other life factors.
Lin Xun returned to Pilgrimage Snow Mountain and found that the blizzard had already subsided. All Pilgrimage Angels, including the mother body, were nowhere to be found.
He flew all the way to the mountaintop on his flying sword, and as expected, he did not see Flanda either.
“The Desire Wet Nurse currently has no divine body and can only possess through a descending consciousness.”
“She cannot crack the extreme evil factor, so She can only use Flanda, who has perfectly fused the Firefly factor, to nurture a newborn body that contains both Firefly and extreme evil factor.”
But Lin Xun could not understand why the Desire Wet Nurse would do this.
Even if the newborn body could perfectly fuse two kinds of life factors, a body conceived by a demigod and a mortal would undoubtedly be extremely fragile, probably not even reaching demigod level, let alone the level of a god or a chief god.
If the Desire Wet Nurse used such a body to fight the Primordial Firefly, would that not be courting death?
Rather than that, it would be better to wait until the chief god body fused with the Firefly factor was completed, and then go fight the Primordial Firefly. At least then it would be a guaranteed win.
Lin Xun thought for a long time without any clue.
The Pilgrimage Angels on the snow mountain had flown to all corners of the divine kingdom to spread extreme evil factor, and with the mother body gone as well, there was nothing to explore.
Just as he was about to leave, inspiration struck.
“I know!”
“The Desire Wet Nurse’s purpose in spreading extreme evil factor goes far beyond creating a new god!”
The Desire Wet Nurse was not spreading extreme evil to create a new evil malice god, but to draw power from endless evil thoughts!
A new body fused with extreme evil factor would be extremely fragile, at most reaching the demigod realm. There was no way the Desire Wet Nurse would be stupid enough to use such a body to fight the Primordial Firefly.
Her goal was to spread endless evil thoughts, then use the new body to draw power from those evil thoughts, constantly strengthening and breaking through.
The more evil thoughts there were, the stronger the Desire Wet Nurse would become.
In the end… She would become a supreme existence like the Extreme Delusion Fruit, an embodiment of rules and will itself!
Lin Xun could not help but feel despair.
From the moment he sacrificed his Shell at the start, the Desire Wet Nurse may have begun setting the board, and the ending was already destined!
Only now, after completing the last move, did the Desire Wet Nurse finally lift the veil and reveal her sharp fangs.
“Do I still have any chance to turn this around?”
Lin Xun imagined whether, if he had not rescued the clone Flanda, or if he had never trusted the clone Flanda from the beginning, he could have changed the plot’s course.
But he found in despair that even if he refused to compromise, facing the Desire Wet Nurse controlling a demigod-level body, he had no room to resist.
The Desire Wet Nurse could have forcibly tied him up and brought him to Pilgrimage Snow Mountain, completing the final step of the layout.
This gentler approach now might be the Desire Wet Nurse wanting to preserve him as a treasure vault.
The Desire Wet Nurse knew he was a ‘foreign lost child’ who had appeared out of nowhere. Not tearing through the facade might be to let the foreign lost child feel benevolent grace.
So that he would not, just like he had appeared in this world out of nowhere, also vanish out of nowhere.
“It feels like there’s no chance to turn this around at all…”
The malice in several Fire-Worshipping Shells had been drained completely, leaving only Saio Chisoku-hime, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Celestial Demon – Nurarihyon still holding malice seeds.
But what could such a tiny bit of malice do?
After thinking it through, the conclusion was that it could do nothing…
“No, that’s not right. I still have malice I can use!”
Lin Xun opened the Inventory. The Mature Fruit of Evil was still sitting there perfectly intact.
In terms of malice, this item had absorbed the boundless malice from the Extreme Evil Great General, far stronger than the scraps left in his Shells.
He narrowed his eyes, looking at this item in thought.
