Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 700 - 348 Firefly Jinmu?_1
Although Lin Xun’s bodies had lost the Extreme Evil genes, they still retained their compatibility with the gene.
Perhaps it should not be called physical compatibility, but rather, a compatibility at the soul level.
At this point, whether it’s the ’Fallen Karma Fire’ or ’Fallen Dragon Seed’ attribute, both still retained their original states.
Even the body of a Ninja master, who had also completely lost the Extreme Evil gene, could still exhibit the effect of the ’Fallen’ attribute during an attack.
He closed his eyes in deep contemplation and eventually let out a long sigh.
A daring and crazy plan emerged in his mind.
His key to turning the tide was the ’Mature Evil Fruit’, and the key to fulfilling the conditions necessary for a turnabout was an item he obtained earlier - the ’Replica Umbilical Cord’.
Through this item, he discovered the location of the ’Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord’ and it was highly likely that there would be flawed divine bodies produced by the Wet Nurse.
As long as he could obtain a divine body, even the most trashy one, he would have hope to turn the table!
"You want to become the new Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit?"
"Let’s see who will become the Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit first!"
He vowed to retaliate a thousand-fold for the humiliation the Wet Nurse inflicted upon him!
Lin Xun left the ’Forbidden Lake’ and headed to ’Zhongsi City’ to assess the situation.
The Pilgrimage Angel at the peak of the ’Emerald Sacrificial Ground’ no longer resembled a white butterfly. Its snow-white scale wings were adorned with black patterns, looking less like someone feathered and more like a Mutated being.
The crazy rebel forces lurking around the sacrificial ground were slowly beginning to transform under the influence of the Extreme Evil gene.
Although they still retained their original appearance, their crazed eyes were gradually being overshadowed by malicious intent.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before these ’Feathered Rebel Soldiers’ would turn into ’Extreme Evil Rebel Soldiers’.
Lin Xun continued towards the ’City Square’ and ’Belatu Mansion’ for further investigation.
The building tucked deep underground had not yet been exposed to the raging snowstorm.
This condition was due to the limited number of Pilgrimage Angels, and for the Wet Nurse to spread Malice on a large scale, her primary target would undoubtedly be the heavily populated ’Surface’ City.
Once the entire city is polluted, she would proceed to spread the Malice further underground.
"I don’t have much time left..."
Jinmu was alive and unharmed, still managing his castle for him. The Wet Nurse hadn’t bothered to crush this tiny bug, nor did she take back control of Zhongsi City.
Perhaps to the Wet Nurse, once Malice had spread, the entire Divine Kingdom would be a paradise of extreme evil. Hence, reclaiming control of Zhongsi City had no significance. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Furthermore, Lin Xun speculated.
According to the Wet Nurse’s unscrupulous tactics, it’s possible that she would extract the troops from the war front, recall most of the soldiers, and concentrate on manufacturing more soldiers.
For each additional soldier produced, the Malice could grow bit by bit.
Each bit of Malice would serve as nourishment for her power when she acquires a new divine body.
Compared with becoming a new form of deity, the gains and losses of the war front seemed trivial.
Lin Xun then headed towards ’Tentacle City’.
Tentacle City was also shrouded in swirling snow, and the runaway guards remaining in the city were gradually turning towards extreme evil.
Situations like these were expected, and they were not of his concern.
What he truly cared about was, to turn the tide, his actions must remain covert.
He remembered Flandre the Oathbreaker once saying that the unique ability bestowed by the Firefly, which kept one at the edge of the Web of Consciousness, could only temporarily make them invisible to the Wet Nurse’s sight.
But once her attention was attracted, her gaze would follow until the end of life.
The moment he sacrificed his shell, the Wet Nurse must have been watching him in the shadows.
She must have known long ago that he was in cahoots with ’Flandre the Oathbreaker’.
As for why she didn’t kill the original Flandre, it was probably because, like him, Flandre was someone with utility value.
She could provide a continuous source of material for creating Flandre clones.
But did the Wet Nurse still need Flandre now?
Based on the Wet Nurse’s act of casually killing ’Belatu’, one could infer that as long as she deemed it necessary, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill Flandre too.
Lin Xun was uncertain, but he had no alternatives and had to give it a try.
Mustering his courage, he went straight to the ’Abandoned Ancient Nest’.
[...]
[The elevator gradually came to a halt...]
[’Flandre the Oathbreaker’ was still in the center of the nest, apparently unharmed.]
[She felt your presence and slowly opened her eyes.]
[You told her all about the clones and the Wet Nurse’s conspiracy, seeking ’Flandre’s’ help...]
[’Flandre,’ after listening, furrowed her brows, thought for a long time, and then told you...]
[Once the Wet Nurse’s attention is drawn, it is virtually impossible to escape.]
[Unless the Wet Nurse voluntarily shifts her focus, or...]
[Actually, there are two other ways to avoid the Wet Nurse’s gaze, but neither of these is very feasible...]
[You eagerly inquire about the methods.]
[’Flandre’ shook her head, explaining that to clarify these methods she will have to start from the origin of this world...]
[In the beginning, life in this world lacked autonomous consciousness, and only knew to eat and reproduce. The constant killing due to conflicts over food among the insect-men obstructed the progress of civilization.]
[The Supreme Firefly wove a Web of Consciousness, a net that could encompass the consciousness of all beings.]
[Every life would merge into this web, guided by the Supreme Firefly.]
[Thus, the unconscious killings came to an end, and civilization was consciously developed and grown.]
