Chapter 562 Next
The body of this deacon, like other ancient survivors, is a monster with a touch of anthropomorphic elements, with tentacles and limbs all over its body. It looks particularly weird and curious, and can kill people with polypod phobia on the spot.
It's just that its body size is smaller than other ancient survivors Lloyd had seen before, and it is extremely plastic. After curling up all its tentacles and limbs, it can disguise itself as a fat man with a big belly.
Its body tissue structure seems to be still in the category of organic matter, and is not lacking in elasticity and flexibility. Looking at these two indicators alone, there is no difference from human muscle tissue. However, its toughness and hardness are no less than reinforced concrete, and it is like a city wall.
Such a structure simply violates both physical and biological common sense, and is enough to make the predecessors of these two disciplines so angry that they would all come back to life.
Lloyd couldn't help but think of the equally unscientific 'adaptive defense characteristics' of the Karma Demon. As long as you cut it with a scalpel for a while, it will gradually become immune to the scalpel.
It seems that this butler also possesses this characteristic that is clearly beyond the scope of science?
Lloyd thought about it again and wondered if the messenger captured by the academy also had the same characteristics?
Although that thing fell into the hands of the medical department and was dissected into a puddle of mud, it was still alive, and even its thinking and consciousness were clear. The tenacity of its vitality was terrifying.
Anyway, looking at it as a whole, if we simply compare physical strength, then no matter how modern humans change their life forms, they will definitely not be able to compare to this group of ancient survivors.
But this is understandable. This group of ancient survivors hid in a dangerous alien space. Without such tenacious vitality, they would have been extinct long ago and would have no chance to come to the world and cause trouble for others.
In short, fortunately there are powerful healing potions and quick-charging potions from the medical department that can deal with it, otherwise Lloyd really would have no good way to deal with this corpse.
It is certainly not possible to just leave it there. A body of this strength involves the power of [Distortion]. Not to mention the possibility of resurrection, in this complex environment, no one can say whether this corpse will be transformed into some amazing and precious item.
"Okay, now that everything is packed up, let's move on. There shouldn't be any substantial threats left in this ruin."
Lloyd put away the lead box containing the white crystal fragments and spoke again.
Old York was stunned and said something extra:
"Hmm? No more threats? But didn't this guy say there were still some divine messengers?"
He pointed to the place where the deacon had been lying before. Now there was only a pool of sticky liquid, with a slight pungent smell caused by chemical reaction.
"That...has been solved easily."
Lloyd replied nonchalantly.
"what?"
"what??"
"when???"
“How is it possible???”
The four teammates present each showed a look of astonishment.
Although they didn't know what the messenger of God was specifically, they were present when the deacon was mumbling to himself just now, and heard the description of the messenger of God. No matter how they thought about it, it must be a very terrifying existence, right?
In the end, he was killed so quietly?
Not even sure what happened?
And from Lloyd's tone, he didn't sound excited or relieved after defeating a strong enemy. Instead, it was as if he had just casually crushed an ant.
He is also a divine messenger, right? Can you show some respect to his status?
Unfortunately, Lloyd didn't explain much and was still anxious to ask everyone to pack up and prepare to go to the next area.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to explain, but he himself doesn’t know how to explain it specifically?
During the entire process of confronting the angel of God, Lloyd suddenly felt some strange reaction in the air, but he couldn't tell what the strangeness was, nor what kind of ability detected it.
It was at this moment of review, combined with the "confession" of the deacon in front of him, that Lloyd realized that the strangeness should have come from the chaos level, the influence of the movement of the Son of Chaos, and was captured by some unknown attribute or characteristic of his own body.
But even if he caught this movement, Lloyd didn't have a good way to deal with it at the time, because just as Hiltina had speculated before, this thing did not exist in the world and did not really appear in front of everyone.
This is equivalent to being in a completely different dimension from Lloyd. With his current abilities and means, he is not able to threaten this guy across dimensions.
It's like when you are fishing, you can see the splashes and bubbles made by the fish, but you can't do anything about it.
However, what happened next surprised Lloyd and he was a little confused.
I didn't even think of a way to deal with the God's Messenger, but the other side reacted first -
It actually turned around and ran away?
And it was a very hasty and panicky escape, like a frightened fish.
But it was precisely because of this hasty escape that more "water splashes" were stirred up, allowing Lloyd to vaguely sense its location.
Then, his [projection] attacked brazenly without receiving any clear instructions from Lloyd.
Then, the [Projection] sneaked into the "water surface" where the Child of Chaos was in a way that even Lloyd did not understand, and chased him directly, killing him instantly with one blow, and the kill was confirmed by the panel:
[Ding~Insanity value +1000]
Finally, the [Projection] floated back into Lloyd's body, feeling quite smug?
It's like a fisherman who can't catch any fish and just uses a net to scoop them up. He doesn't feel ashamed but proud of it...
In short, the whole process of killing the messenger of God was like this, which was even more confusing than the last time I encountered this monster.
Last time, at least Lloyd could see the details with his naked eyes, but this time he couldn't see anything at all.
The Projection's spontaneous behavior was the same as last time, it was an automatic act of protecting its master after sensing a threat, which was a rare bit of intelligence in it...
It may not be smart enough and cannot even follow simple instructions like washing clothes, cooking and cleaning, but it can strangle these helpless sons of chaos like a sharp harpoon.
As a result, the Book of Truth slowly turned to the page that recorded [The Unobservable and Untouchable Son of Chaos], and added another sentence to the description below:
“When roaming in the chaotic realm closer to the real world, it can trigger some random accidents based on order in the real world.”
This supplement from "The Book of Truth" concluded Lloyd's previous speculation. All the strange accidents that happened in Miss Desta and Via's home were indeed caused by this precious object.
The term "order-based" in the description seems to refer to the fact that accidents are not completely random and without cause. There are often some logical connections and causal relationships that can be explained, but the results will develop in a bad direction.
If this process continues, various minor accidents that may have been just injuries or illnesses at first will accumulate and gradually deteriorate into a tragedy of family destruction, just like what happened to the poor space-related senior.
Fortunately, his [Projection] is quite strong, worthy of being the work of the Saint of Denial, and he also used the remains of an offspring of the evil god.
So, the reason why this big black fish turned around and ran away today was because it was afraid of its own [projection], right?
As Lloyd led the team toward the next area, he continued to analyze and speculate in his mind.
And this group of ancient survivors directly imagined the [Projection] to be a real offspring of the evil god, and then thought that they had become its followers in turn?
As for this big black fish swimming back and forth near the present world, is it the ancient survivors' way of finding themselves?
It seems that they have unlocked the space loop and saw that the temple in their hearts has been destroyed beyond recognition...
In other words, the accidents in Viya and Miss Desta's family were more or less caused by me?
Is it because they can't find me, so they start with the people around me? Or is it that they want to force me to show up in this way?
Damn it! If you have the ability, come from me! What's the big deal about dealing with my relatives and friends?
Moreover, they did not dare to deal with saints like Hiltina and Eloro who had a closer relationship with them, and only dared to bully ordinary people like Miss Desta.
It's really dirty and despicable!
When Lloyd thought of this, he felt indignant and ashamed, yet also secretly relieved.
Fortunately, I handled it in time and it didn’t cause too serious consequences. There was still time to remedy the situation later.
Then, next, we must get rid of this group of ancient survivors as soon as possible and cannot let them harm our relatives and friends anymore!
It seems that the attitudes of the two deans before and after towards this group of monsters were still too conservative. If they could be more decisive...
Lloyd was a little dissatisfied with this at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately shook his head.
Uh... that doesn't seem right. I'm not sure I can defeat them right now. If I go to war directly, the consequences will be hard to predict.
Besides, these guys can also do the [Distortion] that I am so proud of...
This is not surprising. The various weird and bizarre requirements and methods of transcendence of the [Twisted] system were not originally intended for humans. Perhaps this was the system possessed by this group of ancient survivors, and it should be what they brought in when they escaped into the alien space.
I just don't know to what extent this group of monsters have mastered [Distortion]. What level does this butler belong to among them?
It shouldn't be too high, right? Anyway, I have no pressure against it and can suppress it easily.
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with the two deans' steadiness...
Lloyd first calmed down his slightly impetuous mentality, and then thought seriously about the next countermeasures.
The unexpected crisis facing Miss Via and Miss Desta must have been resolved, and they should not be harmed in the short term.
From the deacon's words and attitude, it can be discovered that this messenger of God must be a very precious thing to the ancient survivors. It is definitely not a consumable that can be used as feed at will. It is also very troublesome to use it once, and it requires the sacrifice of many "missionaries".
Once we eliminate this hideout under our feet, and then use the list to clear out the spies who have defected to the ancient survivors one by one, their power in reality will definitely suffer a fatal blow. It will probably take a considerable amount of time to cultivate a power of this scale again, and they will certainly not be able to stir up trouble in the meantime.
I should seize this period of stability and find a way to completely wipe out this group of remnants as soon as possible!
Well! Let’s do it this way! Let’s start by completely clearing out this den!
So after a long silence, Lloyd finally spoke in the 'Team Channel':
"The deacon mentioned earlier that for their ritual, this damn place would gather a large number of believers every night. We can just wipe them out at once."
"Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking! I can't wait to try this big baby."
The investigator wearing a ghost mask said this while stroking the thick black tube that Lloyd lent him, looking like he couldn't let it go.
There's nothing wrong with men liking powerful weapons, but the way this guy described it is really a bit overwhelming...
Lloyd didn't even want to take the tube back...
He had wanted to try it when he was dealing with the butler before, but fortunately Lloyd stopped him in time.
Otherwise, the noise made by this thing would have scared everyone away.
Fortunately, the temporary team completed the 'beheading' operation without alerting the enemy. The remaining cult members here still don't know what happened. They still gather at the altar in the center from various messy pipes and forks as usual.
He really wasn't on guard at all.
This was also due to Lloyd's ability to cleanly and efficiently deal with the deacon who was in charge here.
That guy has the arrogance and self-confidence inherent in the ancient survivors. He does not take the extraordinary people in the present world seriously. He believes that except for the saints, no one else can threaten him. He has never thought that there are people in the present world who can master the power of [Distortion].
Add to that the various protective measures in this relic, the roar of the demons, the knights who protect the religion that ordinary supernatural beings cannot deal with, and all kinds of insidious and cunning ritual arrangements. If it were an ordinary supernatural being, there would really be no good way to deal with it.
This naturally made the deacon even more careless.
So Lloyd simply followed the twisted rituals it had deployed on the wall, and easily found its secret residence.
Then the two [distorted] forces collided slightly, and Lloyd took the initiative without much effort and completely suppressed the deacon.
Even several temporary teammates were a little disappointed. They thought it would be a peak showdown, but they were crushed as soon as they came into contact? And they used methods that they didn't understand at all?
Fortunately, they did not take it lightly. While Lloyd was suppressing the deacon, he used his experience as a senior investigator to help discover and eliminate several insidious traps in the room.
There were also two [Distortion] rituals used to counter invaders. After they were discovered, Lloyd immediately paid some attention to breaking them down, thus resolving his worries.
The next step is to interfere with the deacon's rationality and thinking, making it confess on its own like the messenger before.
It was not until the topic came to the "great cause", that is, the part about resurrecting the gods, that some kind of protection mechanism was triggered, and the deacon woke up. Taking advantage of Lloyd's inattention, he broke free from the distorted influence a little, restored his vision, and glanced at Lloyd.
Unfortunately, it was only a brief moment. Lloyd immediately increased his spiritual power output and easily suppressed it again.
However, there is no good way to deal with the other party who tries his best to protect his rationality after he wakes up. After all, rational thinking is the most sensitive and dangerous area.
But it wasn't a big problem, Lloyd had already learned enough from it.
