Chapter 137 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 21)
Judging from George's words and actions, he really enjoys watching plays.
It's roughly about looking down on these mortals from a god's perspective, manipulating them at will. He even set his sights on the only dragon vein, which was in poor condition, and incorporated Si Yisi into this drama.
Look at their expressions—
George smiled slightly, the wind blowing his blond hair in all directions, and he expressed his mockery in his most sacred voice.
Sis saw what George wanted to show him.
That's what many people are thinking right now—
"Angels, quickly defeat that ugly black dragon and protect our safety!" Ordinary people, thinking of the black dragon's evil and ugly appearance, made no attempt to hide their disgust.
They cursed the black dragon with all their might, yet praised the "angel" with the most beautiful words.
The guardians who painstakingly protect the people of these territories have become objects of universal hatred!
The invaders who wanted to invade China received wild praise.
How ridiculous, how absurd!
But George believed that the people who could truly break Sissy were not this large group of people. He smiled sarcastically, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his lips.
George snapped his fingers, and another voice entered Si Yisi's mind. This time, the voices were not from ordinary people, but from the knowledgeable cultivators near the battlefield between Si Yisi and George!
"The dragon vein has been polluted?! How could that be? Impossible! As long as we kill the dragon vein, it won't affect us anymore, right? Killing the dragon vein will surely allow China to regenerate a new one!"
"Are angels allies?" one cultivator thought, his eyes gleaming. "It would be best if we fought to the death. Who knows if the dragon vein will go berserk and kill us all?"
They take the protection of the dragon vein for granted: "The dragon vein was born to protect us, so for our safety... let it be killed!"
"Anyway, it's not a person!"
Some even secretly prayed in their hearts, "Please, Dragon Vein, sacrifice yourself for the greater good of the nation, and do not bring disaster upon us."
Every word, every sentence, is piercing to the heart. They impose the so-called righteousness of the nation on the dragon vein, believing that it should sacrifice itself for the country!
Humans have been the masters of this planet for too long, and have forgotten reverence, becoming selfish to the point of being laughable.
How is this any different from moral blackmail?
“Listen to this,” George continued, gazing at Sidney with that standard, holy smile, “the people you protect are hoping for your death!”
"In their eyes, I am the savior, while you are the demon who should be cast into hell!"
His eyes were filled with pity and mockery, and he was extremely satisfied with the scene before him.
"A false god? What do you mean by a false god?" George laughed loudly. "In the eyes of your people, I am the embodiment of justice, therefore I am the true god!"
"It's time for you to step down from your pedestal!"
“You’re right,” Si Yisi replied calmly. The black thorns clinging to his face ruined all the beauty, making him look like a black demon that had broken free from a mural.
Even with such an ugly appearance, Si Yisi remained calm as if she were just taking a walk.
He even gave a cold smile: "History is written by the victors. So let's see, is it a true god or a false god!"
The next moment, Si Yi completely ignored everything George had tried to provoke him. From the very beginning, Si Yi hadn't listened to a word George said!
The people's faith and trust? Does he need that kind of thing?
The answer is no!
So George's initial attempt to hit Sis's sore spot in this way was completely pointless.
"Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"
The black mist transformed into sharp blades that grazed George's cheek. He touched his bleeding cheek, and his nonchalant smile froze instantly.
The next second, they started fighting in mid-air!
All the evil demons attracted to Lincheng became tools to corrupt Si Yisi. The sky was a clear, bright blue, except for the sky behind Chonghua University, which looked as if it had been stained black by spilled ink!
The battles of the gods are beyond the reach of mortals.
But they were not entirely useless. When they looked up, hoping to see the face of the gods, wisps of light, thin white light emanated from their bodies and rushed towards the "gods" they believed in, like swallows returning to their nests!
That was the power of faith. Ordinary humans, including cultivators, had no chance against it, but they participated in this battle in another way!
This is not just a contest of fighting power between "gods", but a tug-of-war of faith!
Si Yisi watched as specks of white light surged into George's body. Those pretty little specks of light were tiny, but what if there were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands or more?
That's not a small amount.
George gave a mocking laugh. After he fully absorbed the power of faith that had turned into points of light, his strength actually increased several times over!
And what about Si Yisi? A number of faith powers, visible to the naked eye, were absorbed by him, while other specks of light lingered around him, hesitant and uncertain.
This is a heartbreaking thing for people and for the dragon veins.
Si Yisi even felt the black dragon phantom let out an angry and unwilling roar. It was silently weeping, as if its heart was being stabbed again and again by the people it was protecting, leaving it riddled with holes!
The dragon vein is not merely a human form... it has already given birth to consciousness.
It became him. Li Banxue was essentially the human form of the dragon vein, but even if Li Banxue died, the dragon vein wouldn't disappear—
That was not what he wanted; it meant that all his hard work would be destroyed in an instant!
Li Banxue is the existence that the dragon vein desires.
George wore a fake smile as the wounds left by Sissy's tearing on his body were almost completely healed in a short time by the sudden influx of faith power.
With a flap of his wings, his voice seemed to echo in people's ears.
"I hereby declare that you, this filthy demon, will fall from the heavens!"
That seemingly divine voice made hearts race, and the beautiful sacred sounds emanating from the sanctuary filled their ears! No one could imagine that this was simply George's usual practice—
They deceive people's eyes and ears by appearing as angels, making them their believers!
The situation reversed in one direction, and countless wavering people, their eyes filled with infatuation, offered themselves wholeheartedly to George—their god!
How ridiculous, how ridiculous.
Lin Anran stood ramrod straight, her expression one of disbelief. She listened to the whispered murmurs of the winged angel beside her, and a look of gritted teeth crossed her face.
She slapped her colleague hard on the head and then knocked him to the ground: "You don't believe in God! You only believe in yourself!"
Lin Anran watched as her colleague struggled and twisted: "That's because I didn't know about the existence of the true god before..."
"Bullshit!" Lin Anran cursed, her flat shoes almost making the sound of high heels on her feet. She glared angrily at the bird-like figure in the sky. "That bird-man can be called a true god?!"
"A pyramid scheme leader has you all completely bewitched?! What happened to all that training?"
She rattled off a long string of words before adding, "I'd rather believe in that black dragon than this ethereal bird-god!"
"At least we know that it once saved the lives of students in a school. If we're talking about gods, it's the real god!"
As Lin Anran spoke, the light feathers on George's wings, carrying dazzling light, slashed towards Si Yisi!
Lightfeather's goal was quite precise; it was heading straight for the black mist. Just as George had said in his laughable judgment, he wanted to make Siss fall!
Si Yisi's expression remained unchanged. Guangyu severed one of his black mist wings, and then the black mist quickly spread and gathered again, once again condensing into its original form.
But the instant Guangyu severed the black mist, Si Yisi felt a strong repulsive force surge into the connected black mist!
The next moment, reason almost collapsed!
He was already dancing on a tightrope, and to make matters worse, he was dancing to such a stirring battle tune. He was barely maintaining the rationality of Li Banxue's body. Now, George's attack was the last straw that broke the camel's back, pulling him down from the sky!
"What's wrong?"
Chen Liusui could no longer withstand the stimulation. He tried his best to maintain this area and avoid being affected by the two powerful beings who were far superior to them.
He thought things were bad enough, and that the seductive angel in front of him was definitely not a good person. But at this critical moment, no one would believe their "ridiculous" declaration!
But now he realizes... things could really get worse.
"Ah...ah."
Chen Liusui heard the dragon vein's incarnation emit a low roar, followed by a brief dissipation of the black mist, which allowed him to see the dragon vein's eyes for a moment.
There was not a glimmer of light, as if the light itself had been swallowed up. He had lost all concern for humanity, leaving only the instincts of a wild beast!
If previously dragon veins were hampered by limited resources, now...
No, has it really come to this? Chen Liusui spoke tremblingly to the top official, his voice sounding utterly powerless: "Yes... we must prepare for the worst. If there really is no way to contain it, we will have no choice but to give up."
What are we giving up?
Giving up their absolute advantage in spiritual energy, abandoning the dragon veins that have protected them for so long... the nation that has finally stood up may once again face being crushed and humiliated.
Chen Liusui's heart is bleeding!
“You’ve finally shed all your constraints!” George chuckled. “Now, we can act without restraint!”
He faced the dragon vein, which seemed to have completely lost its mind, and this time he attacked without any regard for his so-called believers!
If this attack hadn't missed, the entire city of Lin would have been reduced to ashes in an instant! Gods... are heartless and emotionless beings, viewing humans as mere ants!
This is how George understood God.
George was expecting Sisley to take his hit, because under the influence of evil, the dragon vein's attack was definitely aimed solely at defeating him.
He will personally destroy the place he has always cared for, destroy his people! Even... all those close to him when he was human!
That's George's goal, that's George's malice!
"Get ready...." Chen Liusui lowered his head dejectedly. "Ready—"
But in the next moment, something unexpected happened! Si Yisi, who had become a terrifying monster, raised his face again. He didn't say a word, but the movements of his hands proved his determination.
He actually took George's attack in the most direct way, using the black mist—which was almost his own body—as a shield to withstand the blow!
The dragon vein has clearly weakened.
Chen Liusui's voice paused—
George was surprised that his plan had failed: "I didn't expect this..."
"Ha." Someone chuckled softly.
