Chapter 15 Godhead?!
The room was silent.
All I could hear was the sound of the wind outside the window and the occasional chirping of insects.
Did I hear it wrong?
Luo Yan didn't dare to take it lightly.
He first confirmed the situation of the early warning magic circle, and then carefully checked every blind spot in his vision, but found nothing.
Just when he suspected that he was being overly nervous, the fleeting white shadow flashed across the mirror in the corner again.
Luo Yan frowned and pointed his wand in the direction of the mirror like lightning, but it was still empty and nothing could be seen.
However, he still spoke to the air with bravado.
"I see you, come out."
"I-I-I can't get out."
A shy voice came from behind. Luo Yan turned around suddenly and saw that the voice came from the mirror. A vague figure appeared in the mirror that was originally empty.
"ghost?"
No--
There is a little difference between this guy and a ghost.
Luo Yan, who often deals with undead creatures, can tell that this guy is not any kind of undead, but more like a pure spirit.
Hearing himself being called a ghost, the shadow swaying in the mirror said angrily.
"I'm not a ghost..."
Luo Yan immediately asked.
"And what are you?"
"I...I also want to know..."
The voice was full of confusion, and it seemed that it couldn't figure out the current situation.
Luo Yan frowned slightly.
He wasn't sure if it was an act.
"What's the meaning?"
The figure in the mirror fell silent.
After a long moment, it spoke in an uncertain tone.
"I...I might be your godhead."
"……?"
godhead?
Luo Yan was stunned.
He didn't remember having such a thing.
"Wait a minute..." Luo Yan's thoughts were disrupted by this shocking clue. He moved his wand away from the air and pressed his index finger between his brows. "I'm a little confused. What does godhood mean? By the way, what is your relationship with Lint Isaac?"
He has indeed gained a lot of faith recently, but it is probably still far from the level of condensing godhood.
If becoming a god was that easy, then the streets would be full of demons! His intuition told him.
This could be a trick of the "mechanical god".
"Lint Isaac?" The erratic voice was full of confusion. "What a familiar name... Can you tell me who he is?"
Luo Yan stared at it in the mirror and spoke carefully.
"The last emperor of the Isaac Dynasty of the Kingdom of Ryan, a man who was suspected of having become a god. That's all I know... Do you remember it?"
The white shadow pondered for a long time, nodded, and then shook his head.
"It's very vague... I seem to remember that he made me and put me somewhere."
At this moment, it suddenly thought of something and spoke in surprise.
"Oh right! Now I remember, it might be because of the Demon Lord Core!"
Luo Yan was stunned.
"The Demon Lord's core?"
“That’s right!”
The drifting white mist nodded its abstract head and analyzed in an excited voice.
"You established a soul connection with the Demon Lord's core, and I am your god, right? So I was also connected to that statue! Then, there was a consciousness inside that core, and it wanted to eat me, but it was too weak, so I ate it!"
“…”
Is that the consciousness of the Demon King's core? Luo Yan did remember that in the Demon King's College's Demon King's Introduction course, it was said that the Demon King's core was not a completely dead object, but a consciousness woven by magic technology.
That thing is both the devil's assistant and the mark left by the devil in the mortal world.
Through it, the power of faith stored in the core of the Demon King's Territory can be transformed into monsters, or used to change the terrain and expand the area of the maze.
The professor of the Demon King's Territory Introduction course particularly emphasized that when establishing a soul connection with the Demon King's Territory core, one must never try to resist, but must sincerely surrender one's body and mind completely to His Majesty the Demon Lord.
Luo Yan did not resist.
Besides, he was still a bronze-level fighter a few hours ago, so he probably couldn't fight back even if he wanted to.
However, he never expected that the maze assistant sent by the demon god would be swallowed up by the guy in front of him? ! "Is this true..." Luo Yan was a little panicked after coming to his senses.
"Of course it's true!" The erratic white mist became proud and said complacently, "I am your godhead, I can't lie to you."
Luo Yan's eyes widened.
"No - you ate that thing, what should I do?!"
"It has no effect. Rather, the functions of the Demon Lord Territory are now completely under your control!"
The white shadow looked at Luo Yan and continued speaking happily.
"Not only that, the Demon King's Territory has truly become your own territory! It is no longer the territory of that demon god! You don't have to worry about the players' situation being discovered by the demon god!"
This guy even knows about the players.
Maybe what it says is true.
At this moment, Luo Yan was unable to understand the weight of this sentence, and even felt a little headache. How should he explain it if the situation here was discovered by Hell?
Just a few hours ago, he was planning to write a letter to complain about those traitors underground, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother would make fun of his second brother, and he himself would become a traitor.
Looking at Luo Yan who was in trouble, the white shadow also realized that his behavior might have caused him trouble, and said in a low voice with grievance.
"But... Lord Demon, if I hadn't done something at that time, I would have been swallowed up by it. If the demon god found out that you had the mark of another god on you, you would be troubled, right?"
"What you said... If you ate His Son, He wouldn't find out?" Luo Yan didn't know whether this analogy was correct, but this was how he understood it.
"It's not certain that He will find out," Bai Ying said after analyzing seriously. "Even if He is a god, He can't know the situation of every one of His children. And when I digested the mark, the Demon King's core hadn't been fully deployed yet. The probability of Him seeing it is very, very small... Especially since this is not His territory, it's almost impossible for Him to notice it."
"Let's just leave it at that," Luo Yan sighed. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a possibility. "Wait, I think I know who you are! Could it be that you... are the stone tablet in my sea of consciousness?"
"That's right! We've met before! It's just that I couldn't speak at that time, hehe..." Hearing that Luo Yan finally remembered him, the erratic white shadow happily swayed in the air.
"Then...what about the missions that the players received? Were they issued by you as well?"
"It is me!"
Luo Yan said with a headache.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Bai Ying said embarrassedly.
"Because I can't talk to begin with. I didn't expect that after I ate the little guy living in the core of the Demon King's Territory, I would inherit its functions. Not only can I walk out of your sea of consciousness, but I can also communicate with you like this... I was also shocked myself, and I was a little hesitant about whether to come out."
"After all, my original function was just to help you improve some things that you couldn't do technically. For example, managing the forum, and issuing tasks to players when you ordered them to do things..."
Luo Yan scratched the back of his head and put the wand back into his arms.
“…”
What a weird feeling.
It's like there's another person living inside my body.
But this guy doesn't seem to be considered a human?
At most, it is just a piece of stone, or the so-called "godhead" it claims to be.
By the way, what exactly is the natural disaster system? Is Lint Isaac trying to help him become a god?
But why? At this moment, he suddenly remembered the pop-up window that appeared when the system was loaded.
【Let this stupid world feel the pain! 】
Revenge? He felt it was not that simple.
Luo Yan pondered for a long time, looked at the indescribable fog in the mirror, and spoke slowly.
"What should I call you?"
"I don't know either... How about you give me a name?"
The voice was full of anticipation.
"Then... how about calling her Youyou?" Luo Yan thought seriously for a moment and asked tentatively, but he didn't expect this guy to react so strongly.
"I told you it's not a ghost!"
"Then go ahead."
“…What’s the difference?!”
Luo Yan didn’t expect this guy to be so difficult to please, as he didn’t like the two names he had chosen in a row.
"Tsk, if you don't like it, just think about it yourself, that's my level."
"Well, let's go for the second one then."
“…”
It seems that this guy is the type who will only respond to tough situations and not soft ones.
Luo Yan calmed himself down and continued to ask another question that concerned him.
"What is your range of activities?"
Youyou thought about it for a moment.
"Well... basically I can go anywhere in the Demon King's territory. Apart from that, it's just around you. I can almost walk to the door. Oh, right! I can also share what I see with you! Just like this!"
As he spoke, the white mist in the mirror gradually changed its appearance and turned into a blurry mirror.
The "mirror in the mirror" was like a screen immersed in water. Through it, Luo Yan saw the players in the mine.
This group of energetic skeleton soldiers have hunted down more than twenty slave rats that escaped from the maze, causing chaos in the entire mine.
Luo Yan also saw a player squatting next to the corpse of a slave rat, waving a knife at it, as if he wanted to see how real this game could be.
Chris, who was not far away, had just woken up and fainted again. The [Faith Value +1] she contributed was decisively absorbed by the Demon Lord's core, and at the same time it also appeared in her own system interface.
I see.
Luo Yan should have realized when he was in the mine that the faith value absorbed by the Demon Lord's core was actually synchronized in his system.
The two should have nothing to do with each other.
“Interesting…”
Staring at the mirror, Luo Yan became more and more alert, so much so that the sleepiness that he had been feeling a little uncomfortable at first was gone at this moment.
Is this the fun of hiding in the dark and watching the show? If this guy can cover the entire Demon King's territory, then wouldn't he be able to sense the adventurers as soon as they come in?
He could even hide behind the adventurers and watch the show! Luo Yan suddenly realized that Youyou's ability seemed to be even more amazing than he had imagined.
It seems I have to carry a mirror with me from now on!
At this time, he remembered another thing, so he spoke immediately.
"By the way, Youyou, can you see the official website?"
"Official website? Of course... Wow! The forum is so lively!"
As the words fell, the mist in the mirror changed shape again, and the official website of "Disaster OL" emerged.
Luo Yan moved closer to the mirror to see more clearly.
Everything that came into his sight was just as Yunyun had said—
The entire forum was in an uproar!
