Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 762 - 371 Malice Shackles, Extreme Evil Subconscious_1
[Both ’Flandre’ and ’Jinmu’ also saw ’Assad’, akin to a dark fungi.]
[The descendants of the former wet nurse have become this grotesque form, neither human nor ghost.]
[Strangely, ’Assad’ did not initiate an attack on the ’Valkyrie’ or you. It just stares at you, filled with malice, its gaze making your hair stand on end and your spine chill.]
[’Flandre’ looks solemn, it closes its eyes to feel. Then it conveys to you that a large amount of malignant consciousness is gathering in the palace, and the source comes from the deformed ’Assad’.]
[This malicious consciousness is eroding many living beings’ will on the conscious web and has given birth to its basic subconsciousness.]
[Although the reason is unknown, for now, the subconsciousness formed by Malice is dwelling in the body of ’Assad’.]
[Judging from the situation on the conscious web, this subconsciousness formed by Malice is in the growth stage after its birth and is growing at an astonishing speed...]
[If not stopped, it may eventually become a terrifying Main God, capable of eroding all consciousness in the world!]
"My guess was right!"
The database main body’s ’Guiding Bookmark’ as a reward guided him here not for ’Assad’, but for this secretly growing consciousness of Malice.
If the infinite Malice is likened to soldiers, then this countless number of soldiers still lack a true commander to lead them.
Lin Xun’s plan is to find a demigod body and absorb and control Malice one step ahead of the wet nurse.
If the subconsciousness of Malice matures quietly in between him and the wet nurse, becoming a real commander, then his and the wet nurse’s efforts would have been in vain and benefited someone else.
[You ask ’Flandre’ if killing ’Assad’s’ body could destroy the subconsciousness of Malice.]
[Flandre shakes its head after pondering for a while, indicating it does not know.]
[It does not understand why the subconsciousness of Malice is dwelling within ’Assad’s’ body now, nor does it know what form this dwelling takes, so it cannot judge the outcome.]
[However, there are no other methods at present, one can only give it a try.]
[’Jinmu’ scratches its head with a huge scorpion claw, interjecting, that it doesn’t understand what you are talking about, but it seems very powerful.]
[Is it intending to kill the deformed monster in the palace? Have you forgotten that you can’t enter the palace at all now?]
[It seems that only the combat servant of the oath holder can enter the palace.]
"Ha, are you looking down on the Valkyrie?"
The Valkyrie is a Refined Copper construct, it can resist the corrosion of Malice and is a natural nemesis of such a creature.
He ordered the Valkyrie to attack full force.
[’Combat Angel--Valkyrie’ received your command, immediately took off the golden Longbow from its back and drew a thick ’Arrow of Slaying the Dragon’.]
[The bow was drawn, the string was like a full moon, the dazzling sunlight began to gather on the arrow.]
[’Assad’ suddenly turned its head, staring maliciously at the ’Valkyrie’. Even a subconsciousness with basic thought can sense the enemy’s attack intent and counterattack.]
[In an instant, a large amount of malicious energy erupted like a black waterfall, the endless Malice attacked Valkyrie...]
[However, this malicious energy passed straight through the body of the Valkyrie, unable to melt into it, let alone affect the Valkyrie.]
[The golden sunlight on the arrowhead grew even brighter...]
[Seeing this, ’Jinmu’ quickly closed its mouth, raised its scorpion claw to give you a thumbs up, if you can call its open claw a thumb...]
[’Flandre’ reminded you on the side that the attack of the subconsciousness of Malice could not affect your puppet because its power had not yet reached the realm of a god.]
[If it grows into a god, even the weakest god can break the rules and harm your puppet.]
[It may sound unreasonable, but this is the unique Authority of a god.]
"Mental attacks can harm robots?"
Lin Xun feels it’s very unscientific, but if the opponent is a god surpassing humans, then unscientific things seem quite reasonable.
"So the Authority of a god is a power that can break free from the rules..."
"No wonder even Dan, a top-tier demigod, could fight against two other Sun Heroes and get the upper hand, yet was easily killed by the ’King’s Sword Ethan’ without any resistance."
"It seems it wasn’t because of the difference in power, but the difference in dimensions of power."
[...]
[The golden sunlight gathered on ’Valkyrie’s’ bowstring was complete, the string was released, and the brilliant sunlight illuminated the entire palace!]
[When the dazzling sunlight subsided, the malice plant form of ’Assad’ was still rooted in place, showing no signs of damage...]
[Seeing this, ’Jinmu’ silently put down its raised thumb. ’Flandre’ next to it saw this, thought a bit about the reason, and explained it to you...]
[The subconsciousness of pure Malice may not be strong, but ’Assad’, being a side-line descendant, already possesses foundational extraordinary strength, and with your puppet’s abilities, you likely cannot harm it.]
Seeing that Valkyrie’s attack was ineffective, Lin Xun began trying other maneuvers.
For instance, he summoned the ’Nine-tailed Fox’ to deliver long-range Zeus’ Thunder attacks, or used the Purgatory Angel to remotely launch ’Cruel Thorny Bone Spikes’.
