Chapter 701 True God, Power, and Sheep Offal
Chapter 701 True God, Power, and Sheep Offal
"So... after you succeeded the Aquarius Palace, you also took on the task from the Northern Kingdom to deal with the issue of the King-Slaying Society."
Looking at the golden offal lined up on his desk, the red-haired director couldn't help but rub his brows and asked Leon in disbelief:
"And the only condition you proposed is to ask Director Shooter to help you strengthen these things?"
"?"X5
As soon as the red-haired director finished speaking, before Leon could answer, the newly promoted people at the table became unhappy.
Yang Jiao: "What do you mean by these things? We were big demons back then!"
Yang Xin: "Woman, you'd better watch your words. I'm not like these trash!"
Sheep Stomach: "Ms. Olivia! I think your statement is biased!"
Sheep Sheep: "What did I do to you? Why are you insulting me right here?"
As for why there were five sheep offal but only four expressed opposition, it was because although the remaining sheep tail was also very unhappy, it was too lazy to say a word.
"Ok?"
The red-haired director, who was in a bad mood, was attracted by the noise of the sheep and tilted his head, narrowed his pretty fox eyes slightly, and asked with a raised tone:
"Why? Do you have any objections?"
"..."X5
After hearing the red-haired chief's words, the Sheep Zao, who had just been promoted and were full of confidence, suddenly lost their momentum. Even the most arrogant Sheep Xin just snorted and did not directly confront him.
After all, the sheep have the same origin, and when they get together, they can even share memories. After sharing the painful experiences of the sheep horns over the years, they are already well aware of the methods and temper of a certain "red-haired stinky woman", and naturally do not want to bring trouble to themselves.
"Commissioner, I must have agreed to this for a reason."
After glancing at the cowardly bastards with disdain, Leon began to explain:
"Several directors did not hide anything from me and directly told me the current situation of the bureau. The current cleanup bureau is facing many difficulties and is indeed unable to deal with the harassment of the King-Slaying Society.
Although it is also possible to temporarily withdraw the directors of non-Ecliptic branches for support and give up the protection of some city-states and some small countries, just like the Watchtower last time, doing so will also easily lead to the proliferation of abnormal events. If the local branches are vacant for a long time, it will inevitably cause a large number of people to suffer.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it right now is for me to support the director of the Aquarius branch first and stabilize the Northern Kingdom, which is in the best situation. Your Excellency Cancer will go to the weakest Kingdom of Calvin to take charge. The remaining two kingdoms will be supported by the nearby branches in turn to ensure that there are no problems as much as possible. "
"Okay... Lord Taurus, their judgment is not wrong. Apart from the fact that your methods are always extremely extreme, you are indeed the most suitable candidate. However, you lack the means to fight against the true God. You must be extra careful in this mission."
After rubbing his frowning brows, the red-haired director pointed at the table and said:
“Leon, when you are…well-fed, you can indeed fight against the True God and even gain the upper hand, and you have more than one layer of immortality to protect your life, but this does not mean that you can guarantee your own safety at the hands of the True God.
Most of the members of the King-Slayer Society should be true gods, and the significance of transcending the difference between humans and gods is not just that the Lyon value can break through 60 points and continue to grow. It also means that they have found the rules that suit them, and the rules themselves are almost irresistible. "
Pulling a strand of red hair from his head and twisting it gently with his fingers, the red-haired director said with a displeased look:
“Using myself as an example, if I give up being a human and surrender to those true gods for eternal life, and choose to become a true god, I should be able to master the power of [Killing] and become the God of Killing with 69 Leon points. All actions related to killing will be strengthened.
In addition, it is equivalent to possessing an abnormal object that cannot be exempted. After I attack the target with murderous intent and cause fatal damage to its body, this abnormal object will be activated and directly take the opponent's life by force. Even the true god will die completely. "
"Immortality is useless?"
"It's useless. Once the rules are triggered, they are absolute. Whether it's resurrection after death, physical regeneration, or death-taking or injury-taking, it's useless."
The red-haired director shook his head and emphasized again:
"Once a True God with the power of Killing has completed a 'kill' on a target, the 'killing' rule is established. The person killed will definitely die, and no abnormal objects can be saved. And every True God has at least one such 'abnormal object' in his hands."
"..."
Absolute and irresistible rules that will take effect as long as the conditions are met... Why does it sound familiar?
“Leon, the battles at the level of a true god are quite different from the battles you’ve fought before.”
While Leon frowned and thought, the red-haired director continued to instruct earnestly:
"For a true god, the strength of power is only one aspect. What is more important is to first drag the opponent into one's own power while avoiding being captured by the opponent's power.
Furthermore, if you want to completely kill a true god, you also need to target its power. Destroying its body and even its soul can only make it disappear for a period of time. Only by repeatedly wearing away its power can you truly kill it. "
Power...rules...capture...kill...
Leon, who had a headache after hearing this, couldn’t help but ask:
"What if I defeat a true god and then eat it? Will the true god I eat die?"
"..."
The red-haired director was confused by Leon's outrageous question. After a moment of silence, he nodded hesitantly.
"You are now temporarily taking over the position of the Death Guardian Dog. The power of [Death Guardian] that it possesses, to put it bluntly, means guarding the gate to the world of the dead, and then eating some of the dead that pass by.
So after you inflict fatal damage to the body of a true god, it is considered dead in a sense, but not yet completely dead. If you swallow it at this time... it can be considered as using your power to dissipate its power. "
Oh, then I'll be relieved.
After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon's frown suddenly relaxed.
Besides, if you look at it this way, the power of [Killing] isn't that great.
The true god killed by the power of [Killing] will still die if I eat him, right? And the true god killed by the power of [Killing] will die, but after swallowing a person, I can use it to "recharge". How can they be compared to the three-headed dog... cough cough, they are all more powerful than the power of [Guardian of Death]!
……
"..."
I always feel like...what I just said seems to be in vain...
Seeing Leon in front of him looking much more relaxed, the somewhat depressed red-haired director took out a bottle of wine, uncorked the cork with his thumb, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he tossed another bottle to Leon.
Sigh... I just said so many things because I wanted him to pay more attention to it, so that he wouldn't accidentally fall into any trap, but this little bastard is growing too fast, and now he doesn't even take ordinary true gods seriously.
The problem is that he is not arrogant without reason. With his cunning and insidious anomalies and those strange abilities, the true gods of the Slaughter King Society, who have been weakened once by the Watch Palace, may not be able to get a good deal if they meet him. Well... Forget it, when Leon is out on a field mission, I should worry about the safety of the Northern Kingdom instead of his safety. Besides, he is not the kind of person who will let his guard down... Anyway, let's drink a few sips first!
"Director."
After catching the bottle thrown by the red-haired director, Leon did not drink with her, but held the bottle and asked curiously:
"If the true gods rely on comprehending the rules and controlling their powers to break through the 60-point Leon barrier and cross the gap between humans and gods, then what about us humans? What should we do to cross the gap between humans and gods?"
“We, like the true God, are walking the same path.”
The red-haired chief took two sips of wine and replied slowly:
“In terms of the way of transcending the difference between humans and gods, there is actually no essential difference between us cleaners and true gods. We both need to have a very deep understanding of certain rules.
For example... Emma, if she wants to break through the 60-point Leon value level, she must either make a breakthrough in [Punishment] or have a deeper understanding of [Torture] and [Pain].
If it is Jerry or Tom, the former is probably about [stealing], [mice], [animal taming], etc., while the latter should be about [gambling], [luck] or [ritual].
And you have already crossed this threshold. Although your level of comprehension is very low, you already have the signs of several powers. It can be said that you are just a little short of accumulation."
So, are the ways that people break through 60 Lyon points generally related to commonly used anomalies?
Upon hearing this, Leon nodded in understanding, and then he couldn't help but think of a certain poop lady, and his expression became a little awkward for a moment.
If it were Amin-senpai, if she crossed the line between human and god, what kind of god would she become? The god of vomit? The god of excrement? Or... the god of poop?
Judging from his expression, he must be thinking of Amin, right?
After taking a glance at Yanang's strange expression, the red-haired director, who understood what he meant, couldn't help but secretly smile, and then said seriously:
"Leon, although we humans can comprehend the rules, due to some reasons, we can only understand power, but cannot 'master' power like the true gods."
Ok?
Leon was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked in confusion:
"Why? Because there is no corresponding belief?"
"It has nothing to do with that."
The red-haired chief shook his head.
"If I have to say it, it's that we humans came to this world too late, and the path to becoming a god has already been taken by someone else."
"what?"
"It's the Source God Platform that the twin directors went to. That place is occupied by the true gods. We humans are not allowed to enter, let alone touch the Source God Platform, so it is almost impossible for humans to become true gods."
After Ton Ton Ton finished the brandy in his hand, the red-haired director opened a new bottle and continued:
“It’s a little difficult to explain in detail. You can understand it as follows: if you want to become a true god, you must first enter a room and then carve your name on a stone slab in the middle of the room before you can master the corresponding power.
The problem is that this room is already filled with enemies from our Cleanup Bureau, and you can only go there by yourself, and you have to bear the attacks of hundreds of enemies while carving words on the stone with an embroidery needle... This is definitely impossible, right?"
"..."
I don’t quite understand…
"If you don't understand, don't think about it."
After seeing Yanang's puzzled expression, the red-haired director waved his hand and said:
“Although you are already the future director of Aquarius, and your status is even half a level higher than mine, it’s still a little too early for you, and becoming a god is not as easy as it seems.
The process of "carving" on the Source God Platform will gradually strip away the human part of you, wear away your personal will, and constantly be influenced by the corresponding rules. While using your power, you must also fully adhere to your own power... Does this sound familiar?"
It seems a bit...
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but frown and thought for a moment, then he opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Watch Palace?"
"Correct answer~"
After downing half a bottle of whiskey in one gulp, the red-haired director, with a faint blush on his cheeks, nodded and said:
"I have no evidence to prove this, but according to Lord Taurus's conjecture, when our Cleanup Bureau was making the [Watching Palace], it should have partially referred to this process of 'ascending to the gods'.
So in a sense, the Watch Palace hidden in the sea of stars is equivalent to the god of "Watching over Humanity" created by our Cleanup Bureau... Hmm... I think this is going too far."
The tip of his tongue scraped across his lips, licking away the wine stains lightly, and the red-haired director smiled and said:
"In short, becoming a god is not a good thing. Even if you can obtain nearly eternal life, it is hard to say whether the eternal you is still you.
And the more power one has and the more confused one becomes, the more serious this 'deviance' will be... The guys at the table should know this best."
These guys on the table... mutton offal?
Looking at the sheep offal on the table who had been silent for a long time and hadn't said a word the whole time, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, while the red-haired director held up his sheep head with his eyes closed and pretended to be dead, and continued to reveal the truth with a smile:
"I've felt something was wrong for a long time, Leon. According to what you said, apart from the original sin, each of these guys has an additional secondary ability, right?"
"..."
Leon vaguely understood something from the red-haired chief's attitude and nodded.
"Yeah…what's wrong with them?"
"Not really a problem, but very interesting, plus very rare~"
Staring at the sheep's head that was looking around, the red-haired director stretched out his hand and pinched its horns, then said with a smile:
"Angry horns create war, arrogant hearts overflow with ambition, gluttonous tongues bring desolation... I didn't think there was anything wrong before, but after being strengthened by Lord Sagittarius, in addition to the seven original sins, the remaining 'secondary' abilities were also strengthened at the same time.
However, the Sagittarius Palace's abnormal strengthening secret technique generally only strengthens the most important ability, so the degree of its mastery of those secondary abilities is probably the same level as the original sin, and this also means that when this guy was alive, he should have touched the threshold of fourteen powers at the same time! "
