Chapter 161
Su Xingyuan: “…”
After hearing the Savior Protection Association's speculation that a "god" had descended into the body of the blessed one, the black-haired boy's expression became a little subtle for a moment.
An Qian had been paying attention to Su Xingyuan's situation, and in front of Lawyer Gao and An Qian, Su Xingyuan did not deliberately hide his emotions, so he immediately noticed such a subtle change.
"Savior, is there something wrong with this man?" The young man's expression suddenly became dangerous: "Have you met him? Has he attacked you?"
"Not really." Su Xingyuan shook his head.
After all, if this kind of late-stage BOSS is put in the early stage, then the player really has no point in playing. No matter what they do, they will probably face the end of being stuck.
Either the game designs a mechanism that allows the boss to be defeated without a head-on battle, or the boss will be delayed for various reasons and will not be able to cause trouble to the player for the time being.
Obviously, the situation now is the latter.
In a sense, this is a kind of balance. Even if this world is not actually a real game world, balance still needs to exist. After all, the object that led him to this world is the game.
After the "game" reached a certain stage, the Savior Protection Association, the organization that had been suppressing this late-stage boss, could no longer do so.
"I just feel that," the black-haired boy blinked his eyes, as if hinting at something, "these beings who claim to be higher life forms really have nothing new to say about their tactics."
In fact, according to his current speculation about the purpose of those gods, even if the divine guardian found him in the early stage, they would not kill him on the spot - judging from the brief contact with them before, they were inclined to keep him for the time being to deal with the monsters.
Therefore, the purpose of that blessed one should only be to get close for the time being.
In more detail, it might be...
"Come to my side, gain my trust, and then stab me in the back when the time is right?" The black-haired boy sighed softly and said something he seemed to have said before: "Do I really look stupid?"
If this continues, he will begin to doubt his image in the eyes of others. After all, it's hard not to think too much when being dealt with in the same way by guys from different camps twice in a row.
When An Qian heard Su Xingyuan's words, he immediately strongly condemned the divine protector: "How could they try to fool you like this! Of course you are not stupid!"
Lawyer Gao: “…”
She looked away awkwardly.
The more I listen to this, the more it sounds like an attempt to cover up one's mistake... An Qian is usually a psychopath but seems quite smart. Why is it that when he's in front of Su Xingyuan, he acts like a little kid craving adult attention?
Su Xingyuan was obviously immune to this situation, so he naturally changed the subject: "Does he have an auxiliary ability to destroy the hunter's defense?"
The black-haired boy's eyes swept across An Qian's body, and those scars deep enough to see the bones fell into his eyes one by one. The more serious ones seemed to be deliberately concealed by the young man in front of him and not revealed in front of him.
And those scratches caused by glass should not appear on this S-level hunter. It seemed that when he first met An Qian, he was easily injured. Now it seems that it is not only because his ability tends to be high in attack and low in defense, but also because at that time, the Savior Protection Association had already fought with the blessed one.
An Qian answered simply and neatly: "Yes."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment, with a strange blush rising on his face: "I am very sorry... Lord Savior, I appeared in your sight so dirty and without any cleanliness..."
Su Xingyuan squatted down and did not respond to his slightly fanatical words. Instead, he carefully observed the deeper wounds.
The player's acumen, insight, and even inspiration were far superior to those of human NPCs through the training of various skills, props, and confronting demons. Therefore, when he focused his magic power in his eyes, he could easily see the peculiarity of the remaining magic power on the wound.
"Isn't there a buff that continuously weakens defense? It would be even more troublesome..."
Although the black-haired boy said the word "trouble", there was no special expression on his face. He just thought for a moment and stood up: "Clean the wound. I remember you carry a lot of recovery potions with you?"
An Qian immediately replied energetically: "That is the top-level healing potion prepared for the savior! My body can handle it on its own--"
Su Xingyuan smiled.
An Qian calmed down for a second: "Okay, Mr. Savior."
While obediently using the recovery potion on himself, he curiously asked Su Xingyuan: "What did Lord Savior just find? I knew I should keep the traces of the battle to provide you with materials!"
Su Xingyuan pretended not to hear the last sentence. If he really wanted to quarrel with such a guy, he would forget about doing business. So at this time, he was unusually serious and reliable, and said concisely: "The weakening of your body's defense ability is not because the enemy has similar abilities, but because of his power dimension, which your body cannot withstand."
The black-haired boy said calmly, "As you said, he is from 'Three Feet Above'."
Humans would probably be harmed even by looking directly at them, so how could the power they use have no special effects?
"I have also encountered a Demon King clone disguised as a human before." Su Xingyuan continued, "However, the two situations seem to be a little different... The God-blessed One you mentioned is probably just God incarnated in a human body, otherwise he shouldn't have relevant memories. Just like the Demon King clone I met at that time, he also thought he was just a human."
And when the real devil comes, the special power of the devil is not so obvious because Su Xingyuan's own profession has a restraining effect on the hell race. But despite this, Su Xingyuan paid a heavy price to defeat the third demon king, who was not yet in his prime, with his human body.
Judging from these details... in the "game", humans and gods and demons have always been two completely different levels - to exaggerate a little, it is similar to the crushing of the higher latitudes over the lower latitudes, which is an all-round attack.
Even though this god who descended into a human body is still under the suppression of the world, he is almost invincible to humans. The Savior Protection Association has been able to hold him back for so long, in addition to its own strong strength, it is probably also because of the invisible good luck bestowed by the world.
After all, Su Xingyuan has not forgotten which organization made the prophecy of the "savior".
"A god in a human body..." An Qian fell into a brief thought, and then said: "We noticed him a long time ago, but he never showed his face when fighting with us, and he would disappear every once in a while, sometimes reappearing after a few weeks, and sometimes it would take a month or two."
"The president also said that his magic power is very strange. It is essentially the same, giving people the suffocating pressure of facing a god, but it always changes subtly... We thought he was constantly adjusting his magic power."
After all, that is God, and cannot be interpreted by human common sense.
And now that Su Xingyuan said that... it is very likely that every time that guy disappears, he is actually looking for the next container suitable for the descent of God.
After all, even if the gods restrained their strength, the human body would not be able to bear it. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
Lawyer Gao, who had been listening quietly, had obviously thought of this as well. She, who usually had a very stable mood, showed a rare cold expression mixed with a hint of sarcasm.
“Is this worthy of being called a god?”
They rob human bodies just to break through the barriers of the world and stay in the human world... What's the difference between them and the monsters that want to occupy this place?
"Yes." Su Xingyuan said with a smile: "In my hometown, gods like this will have their statues smashed."
After a pause, he seemed to have just remembered something and said in surprise: "By the way, has it not had a statue? After all, not all gods have names... Don't you agree, sir?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his head, slightly raised his eyelids, and looked at the deep darkness outside the window with a smile.
Lawyer Gao and An Qian became alert instantly. Especially An Qian, his perception is also top-notch. In the past, he could vaguely sense the position of this old rival, but this time he didn't feel anything.
...This guy's strength has improved again.
From the time when the Savior Protection Association was barely able to suppress the opponent, to the time when the two ended up in a draw, and now when they had to watch the opponent appear before the Lord Savior... it wasn't that long.
An Qian licked his back teeth, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
"...As expected of the strongest human being."
A somewhat ethereal voice finally came from a place where no light could reach: "And... you are worthy of being the savior of mankind."
Su Xingyuan said: "You're welcome. Haven't we met before?"
Before he finished speaking, in just a moment, the guy who was supposed to be outside the window suddenly appeared in the room, in front of the three people!
The wind blew the black-haired boy's hair slightly, but his eyes did not tremble at all. His emerald pupils fell on the figure with incredible precision, as if he had predicted the opponent's landing point in advance.
The uninvited guest seemed a little startled and said in surprise: "Can you keep up with my speed?"
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly, looking innocent.
At this time, the other two people saw the man's appearance clearly.
Just as An Qian described, his face was not exposed, and even his arms, ankles and other parts of his body were wrapped in cloth, leaving not a single part exposed. And in the part where the cloth was thinner, there seemed to be a faint light coming through, which looked a little weird.
He said to Su Xingyuan in an almost friendly manner: "I have no ill will towards you. I believe we have reached a consensus, Mr. Su Xingyuan."
Su Xingyuan smiled and said, "Really?"
