Chapter 62 "I really didn't expect that someone as scum and pervert as you would have such great charm to attract so many people..."

"I never expected that someone as scum and pervert as you would have such great charm that so many talented people would go to great lengths to ensure your safety."

The situation is clearly complicated, and he never expected that he could remain unconscious for more than a month.

These so-called divine powers are nothing more than the power of a single person, an external force. They inherently possess a certain degree of repulsion; if forcibly absorbed, one will become a monster like the woman who became the presenter and then immediately face death.

However, she was still affected, which made her inherently contaminated. This is the main reason why he arranged for Shao Ji to leave. If she stayed in the base, even if she had very little contact with people and tried to minimize her contact with others, some people would still be affected. And now, this power can be said to have become quite strong.

Shao Ji is special; she is not human but an ability, so she is not subject to cause and effect and will not be led to death by the malice of her divine nature towards this world.

Shao Ji herself has no emotions; what she has is her worldview, her sense of good and evil, and her perceptions.

This is what makes this persona special; she is not a character drawn from the system, so Shao Ji has no fixed attributes. Everything about her is formed based on the actions of this persona and the evaluations of others.

This persona has a much higher degree of freedom than others. The current situation is very complicated because Shao Ji is now suppressing this power to the limit and there is even a situation where it is leaking out.

To others, it might seem like this persona is an emotional outburst; some people may have emotions, but it's merely a divine instinct expressing malice towards the world.

For some, divinity is poison, like that one person with only one head. It's unclear why he retained his divinity, but the side effects were severe.

However, those who knew the dangers of deification in their early years still flocked to it.

In fact, the only one least affected by the divine status is the demigod "God," because the divine status he possessed was given to him by the true possessor of the divine status, and he was originally the one most likely to win.

Unfortunately, his mind was too unstable. Influenced by his family, he gave away his already unfused divine essence to others. This further diminished his self-awareness and understanding. Not to mention, he was later influenced by the divine essence and used his abilities to create clones.

These replicas also gained "recognition" to a certain extent, so Kendall, being a replica himself, could also absorb divinity. Therefore, in his initial plan, Kendall was the final bearer.

The heart of "God" can be considered another key, because it contains the final soul of this "God," the only place the true God cherishes. Before that, he always thought he would return to the time when God appeared, understand the cause and effect, and finally reclaim this divine essence and merge it with the original divine essence.

He never expected to return to the world before he traveled through time, and that was just a god's memory. In other words, this god really came from the same world as him, so his time travel was uncertain and had nothing to do with that god.

Fortunately, things haven't completely fallen apart, and the plan is still underway. The most urgent task is to get him back to the base.

He looked at the resentful Jie Mao with a headache. Without his main body, his alternate identities naturally went out of control. Most of them didn't know about the main body's situation, which led to a consequence: every alternate identity was eager to know the condition of their own body.

They couldn't contact the consciousnesses in the other aliases. Most of them relied on experience to find the original body's traces. If they were intelligent, they could contact Shao Ji in time and then return peacefully without any problems. But it was difficult to deal with aliases that lacked common sense.

Shao Ji was also exhausted in this situation. This disguise itself was a state of being without desires or wants, and she also had to suppress the power in her body, as well as a bunch of base affairs to deal with.

Shao Ji was really tired. For this kind of brainless pseudonym, Shao Ji came up with a crude method. Instead of those sneak attacks, Shao Ji simply put this matter in the open.

A notice was posted that roughly said: "McDonald's is here. If you want to see it, bring me the news of your divine status in exchange."

This puzzled many others. Even if they didn't kill the director, shouldn't they at least demand some benefits from their base? Why would they make such a big deal out of it just for a meeting?

The news of a godhood is not something that can be easily revealed; it would be revealing the world's greatest secret.

The result surprised many people; quite a few actually went to join in the fun, which left them puzzled. Even more unexpectedly, the research institute remained completely silent.

——-

On the other side, Kendall's mind was blank. Now that he had merged with the divine essence, he was somewhat dazed, but fortunately, his consciousness as the director was still supporting him.

He kept repeating what he needed to do: "Base... Godhood... Director... Director... Godhood... Director..."

This had a different meaning in the eyes of others, because they had personally witnessed the Holy Son abandon the Director for the sake of divinity, but before that, they had seen how nervous the Holy Son was when the Director fainted.

They sensed that the Holy Son was in pain, confused, and conflicted. In the end, Lan was pushed out. After holding it in for a long time, he touched his own hand that hadn't fallen off. Wasn't he the one who was more pitiful?

He looked at the man with mixed feelings. It was the man who brought him out back then, and he was the driving force behind everything. If he hadn't brought him out, would the man have been in so much pain, and would he have had so many possibilities?

But there are no "ifs" and there are no "ifs." He finally stepped forward and said, "Aji, since you've made your decision, you have to see it through. We're going to the research institute to negotiate later. Even if you really want to take back the director, as long as you have enough power, you can get the director anytime."

As he spoke, a determined glint flashed in his eyes; divinity was truly incredibly important. With power, many things would become much easier.

But Kendall remembered a principle: the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. He was not in a good state to talk or think right now.

After waiting for a while and seeing that he still didn't react, he sighed and said, "Okay, I think you might need some peace and quiet." Then he quietly went out, and the others, not being so oblivious, followed him out.

Suddenly a figure appeared. Nangong Qi had secretly followed Kentucky after arriving here using a special item from the system.

The original intention was to help the protagonist, but in the novel, this part of the plot is glossed over. It only mentions that the protagonist obtained most of the divine power during the time the villain was unconscious, which provided a stronger impetus for future battles.

But now she realized the situation wasn't so simple. Seeing that Kendall was still repeatedly muttering those words, she couldn't help but step forward. In her opinion, the villain wasn't as bad as she thought.

Perhaps... she sighed as she looked at Kendall's pained expression.

In this round, Shao Ji undoubtedly had the upper hand, because everyone will know in the future that he gave up competing with Shao Ji for the position of director in order to achieve godhood.

"...Kentji, do you know what you really want? Is it power or the director?"

Kendall didn't react much. Remembering these few words was the limit of his intelligence. His most important thing now was to get to the research institute. As for Nangong Qi, he didn't take her seriously at all. His combat radar knew from the beginning that Nangong Qi was in this room, but she was too weak, so he didn't care at all.

But in Nangong Qi's eyes, his long silence was the answer. "If you really care about the director and are worried about him, you can go back. Shao Ji is very good, as long as..."

Seeing that she was still rambling on, Kendji had no choice but to interrupt her. If she continued, he would forget that "the director is safe with Shaoji." He managed to utter a few words, which was his explanation. In his opinion, this was a very reasonable explanation.

But in Nangong Qi's eyes, it was not so ordinary. Kendeji did not give a direct answer as to what was most important to him, and that was exactly the answer. For him, the director was still the most important, but he was afraid that he would hurt the director!

She suddenly understood what Shao Ji had said in front of everyone back then. She suddenly understood that the real reason Kendeji let go was because of Shao Ji's words, "Look, he's almost suffocating from your hug now."

So that's how it is. What Kendall was really worried about was that he had done something irrational that hurt the director.

Nangong Qi felt a sense of disappointment and frustration. It was just like the story of the male and female protagonists in the novels she read, who were clearly doing what was best for each other but ended up getting hurt due to various misunderstandings.

This was intolerable to her, and she spoke again, "Don't you think this will cause the director to misunderstand? At least..."

Kendall interrupted the other person's incessant chatter. He had no patience to listen to what they had to say. The most important thing now was to get things done as soon as possible. If it weren't for the fact that Nangong Qi was someone he considered a fellow townsman, he would have thrown her out the moment she uttered her first word.

He said, slowly and deliberately, "The director hopes I will attain divinity and become a god." He didn't realize there was anything wrong with his answer. In his mind, Nangong Qi knew the plot of the novel, so he thought his answer was fine.

But this made Nangong Qi shudder. What? Why? Wasn't it the director who wanted to obtain godhood? Could it be...? Nangong Qi had a terrible suspicion.
