Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 691 - 344: Gene Toxin Sting, Pilgrimage Angel Host Body_2
[The stinging needle, originally displaying vivid colors indicating its deadly toxin, now flickered with an indescribable radiance in ’Belatu’s’ hand.]
[After a long while, ’Belatu’ handed the stinging needle back to you.]
[You obtained the ’Gene Toxin Stinging Needle’ (Special Item)!]
[’Gene Toxin Stinging Needle’ (Special Item): The venom in the needle has been replaced with an opaque black fluid that contains unknown gene toxins.]
[You can inject the fluid from the needle into your enemies to cause a ’weakening’ effect on the feathered. You can also extract the life essence from the needle and replace it with other life sources. This item is a throw-able one and can only be used once.]
[’Belatu’ informed you that the life factor in the needle was painstakingly developed by it.]
[Due to its not so advanced biological gene technology, this gene toxin cannot directly kill the feathered, but it can weaken about two to three layers of the feathered beings’ strength.]
[But the reduction of two to three layers of strength is not to be underestimated, as this gene toxin can have an effect on the gods!]
[You need to inject the needle into the body of the ’Pilgrimage Angel Mother’, so that you can use the numerous ’Pilgrimage Angels’ to spread the gene toxin to every corner of the Divine Kingdom.]
[As long as the gene toxin is successfully spread, it might change the front line of the battle!]
[Of course, in an ideal situation, the most difficult part of the plan is to obtain control over the ’Pilgrimage Angel Mother’.]
[Only when you have control over the mother can you direct the ’Pilgrimage Angels’ to every corner of the Divine Kingdom.]
[But now, the control of the ’Pilgrimage Angel Mother’ is in the hands of ’Flandre’.]
[He was not referring to the rebellious wet nurse Flandre, but the newly created ’Young Flandre’ by the wet nurse, perfectly fused with the Firefly Life Factor.]
[His younger sister Flandre, because of her youth, could barely reach Extraordinary (half-god) strength... but the cloned ’Young Flandre’, because of her fusion with Firefly Factor, might have the strength of a god!]
[Even if she hasn’t become a real god, she’s not far off!]
[’Belatu’ paused at this point, seeming to be thinking about how to phrase his next words...]
[You need to take from ’Young Flandre’s’ hands the control over the ’Pilgrimage Angel Mother’...]
[’Belatu’ gave you a careful look, seeming to realize that this task might be asking too much.]
[It sighed heavily, a little tired, and shared that this plan was the best it could come up with. If you think the risk is too high...]
[Devoted Apostle, will you carry out ’Belatu’s’ plan?]
Lin Xun wasn’t certain how to react.
"Damn, who knew hell difficulty could be so brutal?"
"I can’t even subdue a demi-god yet; now they want me to steal something from the hand of a god... The underworld game sure knows how to pull some tricks!"
Even though the underworld game is called ’Book of Salvation’, saving the world was still a bit too far-fetched given his current capabilities.
He was tempted to press ’no’, but in the end, he chose ’yes’.
"At worst, I’d just be wasting a few points of soul intensity. Besides, high-difficulty tasks usually mean high returns."
"I can’t just stand there and watch worlds get destroyed and do nothing; that would be too cowardly."
Lin Xun quickly persuaded himself.
[’Belatu’ saw your hesitation and wasn’t hopeful, but when you suddenly agreed, he was greatly delighted.]
[He exclaimed in appreciation, saying that he now finally understood why the Firefly chose you as its Envoy.]
[But you shouldn’t just go ahead and confront ’Young Flandre’, he must give you some assistance.]
[As ’Belatu’ said this, a pair of shimmering objects suddenly appeared in front of you.]
[You received ’Flandre’s Crystal Dancing Shoes’ (Treasure)!]
[’Belatu’ stated that these dancing shoes were originally a coming-of-age gift from him, an elder brother, to his sister, but regrettably, the real ’Flandre’ never got to wear the shoes after she became an experiment subject.]
[If you are helpless when facing ’Young Flandre’, try using these dancing shoes, they might bring back some of Flandre’s memories...]
[Next, he would tell you the location of ’Young Flandre’s’ sleeping quarters, and the whereabouts of the ’Pilgrimage Angel Mother’...]
[...]
[Respected Firefly Envoy, may the Lord’s light always shine upon you, good luck...]
[After ’Belatu’ finished speaking, the light at the end of the firefly’s tail went out and it turned back into a cold stone statue...]
[You now know the exact location of ’Flandre’s Sleeping Quarters’.]
[You have located the ’Pilgrimage Snow Mountain’.]
"... "
"Just gave a pair of shoes and left? Didn’t even leave any survival tools or something?"
Lin Xun couldn’t help but complain. It seems that the rewards could only be claimed after the completion of the plan.
The difficulty of going head-to-head with ’Young Girl Flandre’ was beyond insane, it was clearly an impossible victory, even a despicable game wouldn’t have an unsolvable predicament.
If he couldn’t fight, then he had to outsmart.
He thought for a moment, did not directly go to ’Flandre’s Sleeping Chamber’, but first went to ’The Abandoned Ancient Nest’.
If he needed to outwit someone, why not first find the real Flandre for some advice?
After all, who knows Flandre better than Flandre?
[...]
[Teleportation successful!]
[A powerful Wandering Soul awakes within a slimy egg...]
[...]
[You take the elevator to the third layer of the nest...]
[’Flandre the Oathbreaker’ slowly opened her eyes, revealing joy. She didn’t become irritated with you despite your frequent disruptions of her sleep, and her pillow was still warm towards you as at first sight.]
[You never noticed before, but now you see the pain hidden beneath her joy.]
[Maybe sleep could alleviate the pain ’Flandre’ feels from her body drawing power and flesh from the tube, but she never told you this.]
[You tell ’Flandre’ your experiences, she bows her head quietly sobbing as she hears of her brother ’Belatu’ rebelling against the Wet Nurse, falling in frontline combat.]
[Upon hearing that ’Belatu’s spirit still lingers in the Consciousness Network and has become a follower of the Firefly, she heaves a sigh of relief and smiles.]
[Flandre sighs regretfully, but like you, she can only wander on the edges of the Consciousness Network, otherwise, she could have contacted her brother with a ’Hive Mind’.]
[You faithfully narrate ’Belatu’s plan, but you see Flandre knitting her brow.]
[She stays thoughtful for a long time, then begins to explain to you...]
[Her brother’s plan...it’s not possible to work.]
[She wasn’t referring to the later part of the plan, which is to weaken the Feathered with gene toxins, but the first half...]
[Getting the ’Pilgrimage Angel’s’ control from her clone is impossible!]
[Embarrassingly, Clone Flandre’s character is exactly the same as hers when she was young and ignorant.]
[She was the Wet Nurse’s youngest and most pampered daughter, which resulted in her arrogant and unrestrained personality.]
[You’ve met Clone Flandre, you probably dislike that personality too.]
[Persuading the clone to surrender control is impossible... even a slight hint of rebellion against the Wet Nurse or disobedience would cost you your life.]
[’Flandre’ advises you to give up on ’Belatu’s plan.] 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
[Unless you can use force to subdue the clone, it’s extremely dangerous to even meet it.]
[...]
[You are disappointed by her words, say goodbye to Flandre, and take the elevator away...]
Lin Xun felt helpless.
Too strong to fight, too stubborn to convince, what else could he do?
"Fuck, how would I know if it won’t work if I don’t try!"
"I don’t believe this situation can’t be solved!"
Lin Xun opened his item window, his gaze focusing on a particular item.
"I hope this item will last a while..."
He left the Ancient Nest, summoned the scarab beetle taxi, and set his destination— ’Flandre’s Sleeping Chamber’!
