Chapter 417 436. Invasion
Countless lives turned into blood and flowed into the ground, nourishing this evil formation of unknown purpose. Perhaps for those who held on to hope, the only good news was that the transmission circuit was destroyed. Even if he immediately killed an archbishop to make up for it, it caused a flaw in the plan. A moment of reaction was enough for many people who were originally destined to die to escape the trap.
There was a flaw in the plan, and the flesh and blood of an archbishop was clearly not enough to fill it.
As Xu Zhi perceived, the number of believers in Liancheng was decreasing rapidly, like lights that went out after a power outage. The light bulbs belonging to the believers in the minds of the archbishops disappeared one after another and returned to the embrace of the Lord.
The circuit gradually became active with the influx of blood. Xu Zhi could feel the strong [Cup] attribute aura spreading from the circuit. She did not move her eyes away, but stared intently at the formation, trying to deconstruct this complex circuit and see more meaning from it.
This time, Xu Zhi knew more knowledge and had the experience of mastering the rules. She had more understanding of this complex circuit.
In addition to the content he already knew, Xu Zhi finally saw new content on the way back.
But in her eyes, she interpreted quite a few new meanings, and those meanings were connected together to come up with an answer that made Xu Zhi somewhat confused.
[Creation] and [Reshaping], [Creation] takes the dominant position.
Devouring is one of the functions of this circuit, but devouring is for a higher level of [creation].
Furthermore, [reshaping] is not [healing] or [treatment], nor is it rebuilding an existing old object to its original appearance. Instead, it is a more complex and thorough [reshaping] that starts from scratch.
That is to say, in the current deconstruction, the deeper function of this circuit is to create something that existed in the past and reshape it.
Xu Zhi felt that he was close to the truth.
But there was still a layer of fog in front of her eyes.
Because this circuit was prepared long ago. Before the war to wipe out the [Cup] began, this circuit that could be [reshaped] had already been carved long ago.
Did He foresee the day when this circuit would be needed?
Is this for Himself?
Xu Zhi was puzzled by this.
He is not dead, is he?
Not only did he not die, he even made so many preparations in advance and deceived everyone.
Could it be that he paid a heavy price for deceiving others, forcing him to use this circuit to return to the world?
Xu Zhi felt that something was not right. Things shouldn't be like this, or rather, they shouldn't have such a simple outcome.
Moreover, if that were true, and this formation could really allow Him to make a comeback and return to the world, how could those gods be so calm?
Shouldn't we try every possible means to destroy Liancheng?
Xu Zhi couldn't quite figure it out, so he could only keep these doubts in his heart for the time being.
As the other flesh and blood were gradually digested, Xu Zhi perceived that almost all ordinary believers disappeared.
Are there only these archbishops and two from the outside world left?
How come there are still two living believers?
Xu Zhi hesitated for only a moment, then his expression became a little serious.
He would not leave behind useless people, but Xu Zhi did not have time to see who was left behind. What's more, she already had a guess in her mind.
Because of Pride's mistake, part of the blood food escaped, so it can only be filled by the remaining archbishops.
He has no mercy on his followers.
As if they had sensed the Lord's intention, the remaining archbishops turned pale, and were obviously afraid of death, but more of them were fascinated, kneeling on the road with firm eyes and madness, like the most devout believers waiting for death to come.
This is ridiculous. Xu Zhi still can't quite understand this kind of brainwashing loyalty. But on second thought, if it were her, she would probably only be satisfied with this level of loyalty.
There was a voice in her heart urging her to sacrifice her life for the Lord. With the circuit running wildly, Xu Zhi actually felt that she could not keep her spiritual body calm. The brain of her spiritual body was in chaos, and the self-awareness of "Xu Zhi" was obviously decreasing rapidly.
The bodies of the kneeling archbishops had begun to melt, and only Xu Zhi, who was still resisting, was slightly better off. But the next moment, the corrosive aura had already entangled her.
Xu Zhi realized that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately turned off his [spiritual body]. At this moment, the spiritual body's vision became blurred, and its body turned into a phantom, and it was about to disappear from the basement.
At the moment of disappearing, she seemed to see a figure coming into the basement from the entrance. The figure did not show any panic at all because of Liancheng's abnormality, as if he already knew what would happen here.
What made Xu Zhi even more depressed was that after the other party entered the basement, his eyes fell on her who was about to disappear, and he just watched her quietly.
Xu Zhi couldn't see the other person's figure clearly, so naturally she had no idea how the other person was looking at her, even though she really wanted to know.
The consciousness of the spiritual body dissipated, but the main body attracted a strong impact.
The belief that did not belong to Xu Zhi and the brainwash-like loyalty brought with it a large amount of [Cup] attribute energy and poured into her body. The attribute conflict broke out almost instantly. Fortunately, Xu Zhi was well prepared, and [Authority] was activated in an instant to suppress the [Cup] in her body that was trying to rebel and seize sovereignty.
But at this moment, when her spirit body returned to its original form, a hole was torn in the aura of midnight, and a large amount of scarlet aura drilled in along the crack, as if it had found an opportunity to take advantage of.
However, the target of those [cups] was not Midnight. They were heading straight towards the direction where Xu Zhi was, as if they wanted to grab Xu Zhi out of Midnight.
Xu Zhi felt that [Cup] had most likely known that she was the one who escaped from the Federation and that she was the one who took the fragments away. The reason why she was coming so aggressively now was not only because she had stolen the power of the Archbishop, but more importantly, she wanted to capture her and take away the fragments in her body.
She didn't have time to think about when the other party knew it, and could only immediately use the midnight rules she had mastered to fight against it.
A scarlet wound was torn in the quiet sky, and the energy was like a pair of red claws grabbing towards Xu Zhi. The eternal lamp was shaking violently. Fortunately, the extraordinary conflict in Xu Zhi's body was suppressed, and she was able to free her hands and use the midnight rules to resist the [Cup].
In the flickering light of the eternal lamp, Xu Zhi used the rules to create shackles, locking himself in the midnight like that piece of debris.
But the bad thing is that her application of the rules is not yet superb, and she has mastered only a small part of the midnight rules. Xu Zhi can see that the chain evolved from the "power of rules" she exerted is being corroded and broken bit by bit by the red color. Obviously, [Cup] has a deeper understanding of the rules and knows better what the weaknesses of the rules are.
This is not a long-term solution.
But fortunately, midnight is exclusive and the crack in the sky is closing. She only needs to hold on for a while longer until the uninvited guests are expelled, and then she will have escaped.
The renovation team next door is back after the Chinese New Year holiday. They made so much noise the whole day that my head was buzzing and my efficiency dropped.jpg.
I wrote very little today because my work and rest schedule was totally messed up. I will make up for it by writing 6k tomorrow. I am sure I will get perfect attendance in March!
