Article 139 Training
In a sense, what I said was not entirely a lie to them.
After hearing what I said, Bai Zang lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was digesting the information in my words.
After a while, he said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what the connection is between the two, and you don't seem to understand me. I won't be a savior."
"Oh? I thought you and your team would need the strength to survive the catastrophe. It seems I underestimated the resilience of humanity... It's okay. I can send you back. You can still pray to me when you need it."
As I said that, I snapped my fingers lightly, and an illusory starry sky gradually appeared around them and enveloped them.
Just as I was about to push them back into the real world, Bai Zang suddenly said, "Wait!"
I curled my lips slightly and stopped moving, and the nebula spinning around them also came to an abrupt halt.
"So you've changed your mind?"
Bai Zang nodded, and the others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, I am not worried at all that he will disagree. If I send them back to reality, they will find themselves in Tiannan City, where there are still many meatballs.
These blobs are dangerous enough for ordinary people, and it won't be long before one of them starts praying to me again.
As for Bai Zang, one more person doesn't make much difference, and one less person is just the loss of a talent.
And if he still wants to be the boss, I have given him the bargaining chips, and under pressure, he will definitely agree, otherwise his subordinates may no longer obey him.
"I'm willing to give it a try, but I can't guarantee the results."
I dispersed the stars surrounding them and chuckled softly:
"Don't worry about this. I will temporarily grant you enough power to deal with the current crisis. The rest is up to you..."
Then I added, "The power I gave you is only temporary. If you want to have this power permanently, I think you know what to do."
Sure enough, Bai Zang's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon disappeared again.
“It might be a little painful.”
I didn't say much and directly gave them a "blessing". This was also the knowledge I gained from Gali's consciousness.
Gods with authority can "bless" any low-level creatures, similar to a buff, and can also give them some strength for a short period of time.
But this power has to come from myself, after all, it is not through infection, and their current faith is not solid.
Fortunately, as a god, Gali has a vast amount of knowledge, and many methods that can be called secret techniques are naturally mastered by me. As long as I have enough power, I can use them. "Blessing" is one of them.
I separated a part of my body's strength, divided them into nine small balls of light, and injected them into their bodies. I gave Bai Zang a little more of it.
I recognize his leadership ability, and I can also take back the "blessing" effect at any time and let my power return to my body.
Not only that, I also planted a little bit of spiritual pollution in their bodies.
I'm not doing this to kill them. The source of Gali's pollution comes from the strange fragrance that appears in Xinyan in the middle of the night. I currently don't have the ability to activate the pollution source to infect them, so they can't gain abilities through infection.
Moreover, infection is a very risky method. If they not only fail to survive and evolve during the infection but die directly, then everything I have done before will become useless.
However, mental pollution also has a certain probability of allowing them to gain abilities. The principle is similar to that of pollution source infection, except that pollution source infection is through directly transforming the infected person's body functions, while mental pollution is more inclined to make people directly close to losing control. But if they can withstand it, they will evolve, otherwise, they will lose control.
Except for the first time I was infected due to contact with the pollution source, my other evolutions were almost all due to mental pollution.
As long as I help them when they are about to lose control, I can greatly increase the probability of them not losing control due to mental pollution.
During the "blessing" process, several people showed varying degrees of pain, and it took a while before they slowly recovered.
"Well, if you're not sure, you can go back and try it yourself."
Having said that, I didn't give them a chance to continue answering. I pushed them out and let them fall into the real world two kilometers away.
It's not for any other reason, it's just that I just divided a part of my strength with them, and it's becoming a bit difficult to continue maintaining this illusion. If I don't get them out, I'm afraid they will be exposed.
As soon as the illusion was lifted, Xiaobai pounced on me, but I dodged him nimbly again.
"Don't get close to me."
I ignored Xiaobai's aggrieved expression, thought about it, and decided to use illusion again to hide the entire Investigation Bureau base. Otherwise, if those people from the Black Dragon Gang accidentally explored here, it would be very awkward for us to see each other. Although they wouldn't recognize me even if they saw me, now is not the time to meet.
Dragging my tired body, I returned to the top floor office and fell asleep again.
I slept for a few more hours, and fortunately I felt much more energetic when I woke up in the afternoon.
The first thing he did after waking up was to track the whereabouts of those people from the Black Dragon Gang.
His sight locked onto a few of them. They had just encountered the meat balls, but after they tore the meat balls apart, more meat balls immediately split into new ones. It seemed that they didn't know how to deactivate the meat balls. It was just because they had mastered some abilities that they hadn't been parasitized yet.
Of course, I am just watching and have no intention of helping them. What I want is for them to be tempered in despair and thus increase the probability of evolution.
And part of my power is with them, and I can feel it when they are in real and mortal danger.
I stretched, stood up, and turned to Xiaobai.
"Let's go hunting."
When Xiaobai heard that he was going to hunt, he became excited and couldn't wait to jump out of the window.
As for me, I use the simplest method - taking the stairs.
It's been more than two hours since I drank that bowl of mysterious broth, and those guys from the Black Dragon Gang also drank it. No accidents have occurred in such a long time, so it looks like there should be no problem.
And I have a guess, if you want to completely inactivate these meat balls, in addition to Xiaobai's special power and the blood-sacrificed Miao Dao, there is also a very simple method - boiling or burning.
In short, once cooked, it will become chewy and soft.
As for whether this conjecture is correct, you will know after trying it.
As I stepped out of the Investigation Bureau base, I saw that the meatballs outside had indeed multiplied a little more. It seemed that the big meatball and the meatworm that I had cut off before were not the mother ones.
Since the "Sleepless Embryo Mother" cannot come to Earth, the conclusion is easy to guess. The mother body hidden in the void should be one of the children of the "Sleepless Embryo Mother". It hides in the void and proliferates infinitely, and releases these proliferated meat balls and more advanced large meat ball monsters to the Earth through the cracks in the void.
To some extent, the means by which the "Sleepless Embryo Mother" influences the Earth are far more direct than those of other evil gods.
Fortunately, these meat balls that can come to Earth are only of the lowest level, and it is not difficult to deal with them with my current abilities.
Forget it, since it’s edible, I’ll just keep it as a backup ration. If there are more believers in the future, I can rely on these meat balls to solve the problem of famine.
This is simply a gift from nature in these days of material scarcity.
Thinking of this, I immediately became motivated and found several large meatballs to hunt and kill.
The reason why those small meat balls are not hunted is that although the small meat balls will decompose, the split meat balls will only be smaller in size. They will only become larger by swallowing and fusing with the flesh and blood of other creatures.
The large meatballs will continue to multiply and eventually lead to an overflow of meatballs. No matter how delicious they are, Xiaobai, I and the nine inexperienced believers alone will not be able to control them.
The most direct and effective method is still to directly kill these larger meatballs that can proliferate.
An afternoon passed, and after burning most of the meatballs' bodies, Xiaobai and I brought a lot of meatballs as rations back to the Investigation Bureau base.
This is enough for one day. Now the power supply has been completely cut off at the Investigation Bureau base, and there is no way to preserve the food. Only by killing and ordering it immediately can we eat fresh ingredients.
After another hearty meal, I suddenly felt something strange. It was the power I left in the Black Dragon Gang that was fed back to me. It seemed that someone was about to lose control.
I immediately traced back and found that it was one of their members. He was curled up on the ground in pain, with many flesh balls attached to his body trying to control him. However, because I had implanted mental pollution in their consciousness in advance, the two kinds of pollution were now colliding in his mind, and this person's body began to change.
His skin began to crack slightly, and each piece of skin reflected a faint mirror-like luster.
When the others saw their companions like this, they were a little scared and didn't dare to approach. Only Bai Zang hugged the man, as if trying to control his actions.
It's a pity that people who are on the verge of losing control are the most dangerous, because they have no consciousness at the moment, and losing control essentially means that one's abilities have been awakened. Those who can remain rational are evolvers, and those who cannot are monsters.
No matter how much of a hero Bai Zang is, he is ultimately just an ordinary person's body and cannot suppress his brother who is about to lose control.
At this time, I also activated the spiritual pollution in his body and projected cloud and thunder patterns into his mind.
The mental pollution from me suppressed the meat ball's control over him, and the cloud and thunder patterns could suppress the mental pollution on both sides to a certain extent. The three forces reached a delicate balance in his body.
Although this person must be feeling uncomfortable right now, this is the best I can do to help him.
However, the human body is weak after all, and this balance did not last long. Instead, the person began to feel a little overwhelmed.
Just when I thought he might fail to mutate, he suddenly muttered something in a low voice.
Then, an illusory prayer sound appeared in my ears.
"I pray to the gods, praying that the gods favored by the clouds and thunder will cast their eyes on me and listen to my prayers. I will offer my loyalty..."
And with his prayers, the link of faith was officially established, and now I could directly "bless" him remotely.
I didn't waste any time and immediately projected my alienated, blurry shadow into his mind, while creating all kinds of illusions in his mind to resist the control of the meat ball.
"Xiaobai! Go southwest, about three kilometers away, and find those people from yesterday. Get rid of those meatballs, and leave the others behind."
After receiving my order, Xiaobai immediately turned into darkness and disappeared on the spot. I continued to help him fight against the pollution from the "Sleepless Fetal Mother" remotely.
After more than ten minutes, the man's consciousness finally returned to normal, and I could feel that the influence of the "sleepless fetal mother" on him was weakening.
It looks like I've made it through.
I breathed a sigh of relief and slowly dispelled the illusions.
About an hour later, Xiaobai came back.
The moment he saw me, he transformed into a human form.
"How is it going?"
"It's been resolved. I tore the meatballs apart for them and took them to a relatively safe place. One of them seems to have evolved."
Everything was pretty much as I expected.
However, the first person to awaken his ability is not Bai Zang, which may pose a threat to his position.
But I don’t care about this issue. If he doesn’t have the ability to subdue his subordinates, then he might as well not be the boss.
And I have my own things to do.
I don't know when Gali will wake up, so I have to make full preparations before that.
Establishing my own faith is only a very insignificant part of the process. Faith can only expand my influence so that I can draw strength from believers. This strength plays an auxiliary role at most and is prepared for me to improve my status in the future.
Moreover, establishing faith is a very long process, and it is even more difficult in the doomsday when the population is declining rapidly.
What I have to do now is to slowly transform this power into my own.
And mental strength also needs to be further trained.
Only by integrating the power of God with my own power, and adding the blessing of mental strength and divine authority, can I be qualified to fight Gali.
If you don't have the strength yourself, no matter how many believers you have, it's just empty talk.
The Bureau base happened to be very quiet and safe, so I found a comfortable position to sit down and enter a meditative state, observing the power in my body.
Since being trapped in the ocean of consciousness, I have unlocked a new skill: introspection.
This skill is not very offensive and is different from those skills.
I learned Vipassana after my mental strength grew to a certain level, and after I had been trained in the battle for control of the body with Gali, I realized the method of Vipassana in the process.
This skill is completely different from that obtained through evolution and mutation.
Through the method of introspection, I can see the power and other things in my body more intuitively.
This can help me transform the residual power of Gali in my body very well.
