Chapter 81: Friend or Foe, Who is “He”?
"Your best fate is to be buried in the mud and used as fertilizer for flowers."
The pitch-black sword edge came into contact with the cold ground, and the exploding sparks made the advancing figure appear and disappear in the darkness. The person who came had a pair of eyes as cold as a deep pool, and at this moment, a trace of unconcealable madness emerged in these dark eyes.
"Got it?"
The twin-tailed devil retreated fearfully: "Life has its own meaning and value."
"Should I die?"
God wondered, “What if it’s not?”
The Great Devil: “…”
If you hesitate for a moment, you will find out who the bad guy is.
The sword edge touched the stone slab, making a clear sound of stone friction, which made its entire body unconsciously tense up.
A breath I have never seen before.
The tentacles hidden in the darkness moved nimbly, easily sensing the strong threat posed by the creature in front of it. Its innate instinct led it to avoid many crises. At this moment, the alarm in its mind was sounding wildly, urging it to move away quickly.
Very dangerous.
It's far more dangerous than that troublesome spider.
A rather harsh friction sound suddenly rang out in the space. A tall figure walked slowly, looking leisurely and elegant. But to it, it looked like a high-raised scythe of death, as if it could be swung up and chop off its head in the next second.
The alarm in his mind was blaring frantically. The Great Devil paused for a few seconds and spoke in the tense atmosphere: "Don't think I can't do anything to you."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of insect wings vibrating violently echoed in the darkness.
Chen Shuang narrowed her eyes.
It was flapping its wings madly.
The vibration of the high-speed fluttering wings triggered the resonance of other similar birds in the nest. For a moment, the originally quiet space was instantly filled with the dense sound of flapping wings.
There are so many insects, you could even say they are overwhelming.
The insects that were originally hiding in the corners were also alarmed and rushed up madly with the tide of insects.
In Shen Shuang's sight, the dark water in the card pool rolled for a while, blue and purple mixed together, and finally several dazzling purple lights broke out from the water and descended into the dark corridor.

The sight and sound of the incoming insect swarm made people feel deeply uncomfortable, especially the alien insect in front of them had the appearance of a brown flying cockroach, and both its antennae and wings made people's hearts tremble violently.
Shen Shuang looked at the small remote control in her hand.
This is the shielding device, but the description of this thing is too brief and it is unclear what its specific effect is.
But no matter how bad it gets, it can't be worse than the situation now with the house full of flying twintails.
Without hesitation, she pressed the red button on the shielding device's small remote control.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The fluttering sound of wings in my ears did not disappear, and the remote control did not respond at all. It seemed that nothing had changed.
Is it broken, or is it started incorrectly?
Chen Shuang looked up in confusion, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Chen Shuang: “…”
Help.
The mantises flying around in front of me were still full of energy, but there were some insignificant changes in their appearance.
No, it can no longer be said to be insignificant.
Chen Shuang looked at the scene in front of her that had been modified by the shielding device with an expressionless face.
A fluffy cat, but with familiar brown wings and antennae, flying back and forth in the sky, sprinting at will. The visual impact is more terrifying than a simple mantis. The brain has even begun to fight to identify this strange thing.
Cat Mantis.
This is a design that only humans can come up with.
Chen Shuang: Where does the 100% positive reviews come from?
There was a sharp sensation on the bottom of the remote control, so Chen Shuang turned the shielding device over to take a look.
There was a line of words written on it in bold font.
[Don't just suffer yourself if you have to. Leave a good review and we will send you a shielding device for free.]
Chen Shuang: Now I know where the good reviews come from.
She immediately turned off the shielding device, and her vision finally returned to normal.
The mantises scurrying all over the sky were really challenging the limits of human beings. Chen Shuang put away the shielding device and picked up the purple item he had just drawn, a powerful insecticide.
Considering the unreliable shielding device just now, she was a little hesitant: "This thing shouldn't have any problems."
The small purple crystal bottle contained a clear liquid, and everything seemed normal.
The sound of flapping wings was approaching rapidly, leaving her no time to hesitate. Chen Shuang glanced at the chaotic swarm of insects and directly opened the lid of the bottle.
Once it comes into contact with the air, the surface of the flowing liquid quickly atomizes into a thin mist with a light fragrance, which diffuses in the air.
Soon, the insects touched by the mist staggered like drunken people, and even their flying speed slowed down rapidly. As the mist continued to spread, these insects could not resist the effect of the medicine and fell straight to the ground.
In just a few seconds, the limbs that originally belonged to the organism turned into fibrous cotton wool, and then quickly decomposed and disappeared under the influence of the mist.
In an instant, the originally ferocious swarm of insects became sparse and rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Simijia was being chased by bugs until his hat almost fell off. Suddenly, the pressure around him dropped dramatically. He looked up and saw that the entire venue was cleared. He blinked and exclaimed "Wow" several times.
He asked curiously, "Dark Priest, what is that thing of yours? Let me study it for a while."
"Insecticide."
She responded while observing her surroundings.
The bugs in the control room were cleared, finally revealing a corner of this huge alchemical object.
The stacked gears rotate in combination at a high place, and the inscriptions engraved on the gears also rotate accordingly. The circular control console in the center is still well preserved. A square transparent space is suspended at the highest point, and twinkling starlight particles can be seen in it. It seems to be a device that stores something.
Chen Shuang closed the lid of the purple crystal bottle and threw it directly to Simijia.
Resolving the insect swarm did not make her relax. She looked around, and her originally calm expression even showed some caution.
Chen Shuang: "Yiper is missing."

The big devil fled frantically in the narrow corridor, but no matter where he fled, the footsteps behind him always followed him slowly.
Fear made it more tense than ever before, and even stimulated its potential to a certain extent. After running away quickly, it quietly returned to the vicinity of the control room.
The creature hidden in the narrow crevice controlled its vital signs until it merged with the dead matter of the rock wall.
The sound of steady footsteps passed outside the gap and gradually moved away without stopping.
The big devil breathed a sigh of relief.
It deceives the perception of its pursuers.
Just as it was about to take advantage of this gap to escape and hide in the deeper bottom, a clear cracking sound came along the rock wall, startling it and causing it to tremble in its heart.
The whisper of death came from behind.
The voice said, "Are you hiding in the darkness?"
Strong winds blew into the cracks, creating a whimpering roar. The hard wall cracked into spider-web-like patterns and was instantly shattered by the extreme force in the next moment.
The sense of danger prompted it to dodge the fatal blow, but the threat of death was still chasing it, forcing it to continue fleeing forward desperately.
The god looked at his hands and said, "Tsk."
Not dead yet.
Disgusting divine bondage.
The big devil rushed back to the control room in a panic, bringing back the noisy wind.
The god behind him followed closely behind. After seeing the black-haired priest, the god coughed, and his strides slowed down. He shook his head weakly: "I'm fine. The restraints here are still within the acceptable range."
Chen Shuang glanced at the pale complexion of the god, walked closer and asked, "Do you need help?"
The god subconsciously wanted to get closer to the priest, but he realized that the occasion was not right and there was an annoying person watching the show nearby, so he stopped his action by force of will.
He shook his head seriously, his dark eyes fixed on the bugs scurrying around: "No, I can take care of it quickly."
*
The bugs are running for their lives.
Faster, faster.
The shadowy Grim Reaper's scythe was right behind him. The Great Demon King dodged the wind blade that was coming at him at the last moment, but the price he paid was half of his body being cut off.
The god said impatiently, "Why aren't you dead yet?"
The brown insect in front of him was stimulated by the pain and burst out with amazing strength before dying. It flapped its wings and tried to escape, but it had lost the ability to control its balance and could not fly out. Instead, it crashed heavily into the control console in the center.
I don't know what device I touched, but the inscription on the gear at the top of the control room lit up.
The god frowned slightly and looked at the palm of his hand.
It seemed as if the binding force had been strengthened.
The bug, which had long lost its mind, was still hitting the console. The inscriptions on the gears were lighting up one after another, and the sticky feeling of restraint dragging on the body increased rapidly.
Double, triple, quintuple...
"Bang—"
The sword of God was inserted into the ground. He held the hilt of the sword and knelt on one knee on the ground. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, as if he was under great pressure.
Something is wrong.
Shen Shuang slowed down her breathing.
The sense of restraint of divine power here increased exponentially, and even she felt obvious discomfort.
"Smith," she turned her head with difficulty, "use the bottle to get rid of the bug."
The young man in a top hat sat on a metal chair, twirling the amethyst bottle in his hand. His expression showed no urgency, and he gestured to Chen Shuang to silence her: "No rush, let's wait and see."
"That's really interesting."
The god chuckled softly, "It's this damned mechanism again."
"Want me to tear this place apart again?"
The god of the night slowly stood up amidst the boundless darkness, rich divine power surging around him. The runes submerged in darkness burst into dazzling light, following his mission to fight against external forces.
The two forces confronted each other, and when they reached their peak, all sound was swallowed up.
Silence, stagnation, solidification.
The next moment, those runes that were as bright as the morning star were on the verge of their limit and exploded one after another under the cover of darkness. The buzzing sound resounded throughout the entire space. As the runes shattered, the constraints imposed on the divine power receded like a tide.
The god stood up instantly, raised his hand and swung a sword at the insect in the center.
Without leaving anyone behind, the powerful divine power, with its unparalleled impact force, crushed the huge insect into powder, which splashed against the back wall. The remaining power directly penetrated the thick wall. The wall could not bear the weight and collapsed, completely submerging the wreckage.
"Um?"
A few tiny lights emerged from the thick darkness, hidden behind the broken wall. The god simply raised his hand, and the rich divine power directly blasted away all obstacles on the way.
A huge crystal rolled out from the ruins.
What is this?
Suddenly, a noticeable spider-web crack appeared in the large piece of crystal. As it rolled, the entire crystal shattered, and the things hidden inside proudly reappeared in the world.
It's a human.
Or rather, a body.
The body rolled down from the top of the ruins and finally stopped at the feet of God. After a brief pause, the body that had long lost its breath opened its eyelids in the bumpy ride, revealing a pair of green eyes that had long lost their luster.
Those were a pair of empty eyes, as if they could not hold anything.
The god's pupils shrank slightly.
This face had been talking to him just a short while ago, and its behavior was exactly the same as before.
This is……
Simicah.
A wise man of mankind who died long ago.
God instantly clenched his palms.
If this is Simicah, then who is following them?
He turned around instantly.
That "Smith" is now behind his priest...
...just a step away.
