Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 729 - 359: The Only Way to Save the World_2
Lin Xun was thrilled.
Finally, this ally had completed his isolated cultivation. However, he wondered if Flandre had reached the divine realm.
[ ’Flandre’ seems to understand your thoughts and shakes its head regretfully, explaining to you that after merging with the Firefly gene, it hovers on the edge between the extraordinary and the divine realm, unable to take the final step. It is unsure of what it is lacking.]
[It knows that further delays won’t help it ascend to divinity, so it chose to break free early to assist you in confronting the Wet Nurse...]
[’Flandre’ turns to the two feathered individuals in the corner of the stone chamber, who are clearly terrified after recognizing Flandre’s identity.]
[’Flandre’ continues to speak to you, it heard everything the ’Mask Master’ told you earlier, and it can confirm that he wasn’t lying, but his statements were somewhat illogical.]
[The consciousness web is a tool the Firefly uses to guide all beings. After the Wet Nurse gained control of most of the consciousness web, it could indeed control all its feathered beings, and even manipulating memories was a breeze for her.]
[You and it, Flandre, being independent from the consciousness web, are unaffected. Therefore, it still remembers ’Assad’ - that brother of yours.]
[Modifying the memories of all feathered beings would be somewhat troublesome, and given the Wet Nurse’s nature, she would choose the most expedient method, such as erasing the ’Mask Master’ directly.]
[Besides, the Wet Nurse is currently focusing all her energy on raising her offspring, which requires a lot of effort, so this couldn’t have been her doing...]
[Flandre looks somewhat grave as it says this, and you can clearly see the worry in its eyes.]
"If it isn’t the Wet Nurse, then who could it be..."
An ominous thought creeps into Lin Xun’s mind.
[Flandre hesitates slightly before opening its arms to embrace you...]
[In the darkness, you see the consciousness web that encompasses everything once again. The white grids dominate most of it, while the black grids are only left with a small corner.]
[In the upper part of the white grids, a small patch of shadow has appeared at some point.]
[The range of the shadow leaking dark mist is not wide, only occupying a small part of the grid, but it’s rapidly expanding at a humanly perceptible rate. The grids tainted by the shadow are eroded and assimilated without any resistance...]
[At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before the shadow occupies the entire grid.]
[Flandre sighs deeply, pulling you back to reality, and speaks solemnly, saying that perhaps both the Wet Nurse and you have underestimated the potential hazard of the external gene...]
[Looking at the situation on the consciousness web, the Wet Nurse’s method of spreading the external gene via the Pilgrimage Angel was fundamentally wrong. The transmission speed of these external genes on the consciousness web is much faster than the radiation speed of the ’White Fleece Snow Season’.]
[If its conjecture is correct, external genes are originally transmitted on a mental or spiritual level!]
[Even if the Wet Nurse exterminates all the Pilgrimage Angels now and stops the dissemination of the ’White Fleece Snow Season’, she can’t halt the spread of the external genes.]
[When Flandre reaches this point, it glances at the two feathered beings in the corner. After a moment of hesitation, it lightly touches them with its finger.]
[They convulse a few times and the light in their eyes fades out as they die.]
[Your contracted ally, ’Flandre,’ has defeated the ’Feathered Mask Manufacturer’.]
[Your contracted ally, ’Flandre,’ has defeated the ’Feathered Mask Master’.]
[You have acquired ’Holy Fragment of Spirituality’ x1.]
[You have obtained ’Mask Armor Forging Blueprint’ (Special Item).]
[After the two of them die, ’Flandre’ resumes speaking to you. Divine beings disseminate faith to strengthen their divine power, and from this massive faith, new divine beings can be born.]
[The foreign ’Malice’ gene encroaches upon numerous beings on the consciousness web, and the resultant Malice may have already coalesced into the most basic subconsciousness.]
[During its weak period, hiding oneself and seeking safety are the most basic survival instincts. If its guess is correct, it’s not the Wet Nurse who is altering the memories of the feathered beings through the consciousness web, but the coalesced Malice consciousness.]
[If not prevented, this consciousness will eventually become a new divine being!]
[Right now, the only option is to take control of a large amount of Malice power while the Malice consciousness is still forming, and rapidly defeat the Wet Nurse.]
[The offspring the Wet Nurse is currently incubating possesses the Malice gene drawn from your body... While it may not perfectly integrate with it, at least a large portion of the Malice gene can be assimilated.]
[After successfully giving birth to the offspring, the Wet Nurse will definitely pour all her consciousness into the newborn’s Shell, leveraging the Shell to absorb and control Malice, thereby growing stronger.]
[Since the clone mother ’Flandre’s strength has not reached the divine realm yet, and the father - you - are rather... weak, even with the Wet Nurse’s divine power nurturing the fetus, the newborn’s strength can’t be too strong.]
[What you and it need do now is - when the Wet Nurse takes over the newborn’s Shell, kill her physical body.]
[That will be the Wet Nurse’s most vulnerable moment, and the best opportunity.]
[Meanwhile, the Firefly will seize this opportunity to strike back in full force, using the consciousness web to annihilate all of the Wet Nurse’s willpower and soul!]
[When the Wet Nurse falls, the Firefly will regain control of the consciousness web, stripping all the consciousness tainted by Malice from the web...]
[This is the only way to save this world!]
