Chapter 441 461. "Hat"
In contrast to Cup's smile, Moth's expression suddenly turned ugly.
At this moment, only He knew that the [Cup] was not catching anything, but was stuffing something into His body.
In a sense, [Cup] can be regarded as a god in charge of flesh and blood. Under His power, He can deprive all things in the world of their blood and flesh, and can also give them flesh and blood.
And at this moment, what He is using is the ability to multiply flesh and blood.
If it is a living being, whether normal or not, after accepting the flesh and blood growth given by the [Cup] herself, the physical strength will be greatly improved in a short period of time, and even extraordinary abilities will be obtained, but it will also degenerate into a believer of the [Cup] at a faster rate and become her walking corpse.
The gods are not "living things" and do not have real "bodies", so naturally they will not have their spirits invaded by the [Cup] due to the corruption of their bodies, but this is also the reason why they are bad.
The fact that they do not have a physical body is one of the necessary conditions for them to live in Mansu for a long time. Simply put, this is actually a bit like a bug, and as a result, they can no longer enter and exit Mansu freely. They have to rely on other means to monitor the human world, and can only come briefly occasionally through huge rituals.
Even for the fully prepared [Cup], there is a time limit for entering Mansu, but she is determined to find the gate of ascension before being rejected by Mansu, and then everything will be over.
Ordinary means naturally could not make these gods grow flesh and blood, but [Cup] was different. She did not create flesh and blood out of thin air and stuff it into [Moth]'s body, nor did she try to make these gods really grow flesh and blood. Even she could not do this. What she was doing was to hollow out a part of her own body that she had prepared for a long time for today and give it to [Moth].
She collected those agents in the mortal world in preparation for this moment. After eating those agents, she had a connection with these gods. Through this connection, she was able to give her flesh and blood to them.
But doing so is actually hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred. The flesh and blood donated in this way will never return to your body, nor can it be regenerated through self-healing. What is lost in such a sacrificial way can never be taken back.
She chose to use this method because it was the most effective.
What she had to do was not to waste her energy to defeat the opponent, but to use her flesh and blood to proliferate, so that [Moth] would be rejected by Mansu, and then use Mansu to severely damage [Moth].
When strands of flesh and blood began to spread from deep within the "body" of the [Moth], which was entirely made up of energy and rules, and the flesh and blood clung to the operating energy and rules to build a human organ, the thunder in the sky suddenly stopped for a moment, and then, as if it suddenly had a more important goal, it no longer indiscriminately attacked every inch of land here, but instead accurately dropped thunder containing terrifying energy in the direction of the [Moth].
This was even stronger than every bolt of lightning that had fallen before. If the previous ones were punishments, now they were aimed at killing the opponent.
Once the soul that was forced to stay in Mansu by using energy and rules possessed real flesh and blood, it would suffer backlash in an instant. Almost at the moment when the new thunder fell, the "body" of [Moth] was caught off guard and suffered the first lightning strike.
The moment he was struck by thunder, the energy in his body seemed to be disintegrating. That was Mansu rejecting him, an existence that did not belong here. Even though it was only a slight sign now, he was sure that if it continued like this, he would be expelled from Mansu.
Once a god without a "body" is broken up, it is almost the same as being "dead". He needs to spend thousands of years to condense himself and form a new consciousness. It is only a "newborn" consciousness instead of returning to the current level. It will take an even longer time to regain his power. When that time comes, ascension will have nothing to do with him!
Thinking of this, he tried several methods but was unable to remove the flesh and blood that had already grown. Even if he cut it off, it would still heal quickly. He also could not avoid the thunder by hiding in the cracks in space. As long as he was still in Mansu, he would definitely not be able to avoid it.
The only remaining solution is to abandon all of the circuits and rules that were gifted to him along with his flesh and blood. However, in doing so, his aura will inevitably plummet, and even his abilities will no longer be complete.
And this is probably the purpose of the [Cup].
Even though [Moth] was unwilling, he had to make up his mind when the second thunder fell and his "skin" began to fester.
It is obviously painful to separate the circuits and the rules that have been integrated into oneself. It is no different from an ordinary person digging out his own eyes. Moreover, there are [Cup] and [Heart] who are eyeing him covetously. Fortunately, he threatened [Blade] and [Winter] that if he died, his extraordinary ability would not be cancelled but would be triggered immediately, which forced these two "companions" to do their best to protect him.
But even so, after successfully stripping off the flesh and blood given by the [Cup] before the third thunder fell, the [Moth] was seriously injured.
Looking at the pieces of flesh and organs falling to the ground with golden blood flowing, [Moth]'s expression became ferocious for a moment.
Even after being removed from the body, the organs did not lose their activity and were even still trembling, like self-aware flesh worms, wriggling to return to the body of their "master". Wherever they crawled, the charred land that had been frequently struck by lightning regained some vitality. This was the radiation brought about by the leakage of the god's powerful vitality.
The next moment, thunder fell mercilessly, aiming directly at the piece of flesh. In an instant, the flesh and blood that could have rejuvenated the earth disappeared in the thunder. A large amount of blood also flowed out of the mouth of the [Cup], but she swallowed it with an expressionless face. She even smiled with interest, looking at the empty sky and said, "Why don't you take action? This is the best time."
The moment the words fell, [Moth]'s expression immediately became alert, but the danger did not come from the outside world.
A dead tree branch suddenly emerged from his temple, as if a seed parasitic on his brain had sprouted, absorbing the brain marrow as nutrition, and then drilled through his skull to make a small hole and stretched out from it.
At this moment, a flood of emotions washed over the mind, and the [Moth] could hardly control its expression and body movements. Its eyes rolled wildly, and one black dead branch after another broke through its skull and emerged from the top of its head, as if the [Moth] was wearing a hat made of branches.
But everyone present knew that this was not just a hat, but something that could cost Him His life.
