"King Remi arrived in his homeland. The forbidding dark city stretches out, and the dazzling pits expose the earth. He has firm faith and wants to restore his honor..."
Claire's preface whispered in my ear.
The Midnight City in the distance sank into darkness, and the remaining four alchemy towers stood in the city. Three of them fell into silence, one shed the light of protection, and only the pitted foundation remained.
Lu Li stood on a low hill, faith lingering around him.
This is the identity Lu Li will play next: a god who is giving birth.
Faith comes from people who pray for him and believe in him.
Lu Li refuses to use the power of faith, but this time it can help him disguise.
Dealing with monsters is simple but difficult. There are only two logics for them: food and becoming food. There are only two logics for them: attack or escape.
Generally speaking, if you make them afraid, they will not dare to provoke you.
"The weirdos in Midnight City are different. They are more...smart, at least smarter than the weird people wandering in the wilderness. And although those weirdos whose souls have been transformed have lost their memory, they will still retain some habits. So your trouble is them, target
It’s them too.”
Ophelia, who was as black as a human silhouette, was analyzing.
She and Elena came from the Land of Light. Ophelia acted as a think tank, and Elena, who was wearing a black robe covering the whirlpool's body, acted as a guide, guiding Lu Li to "absorb" believers and negotiate with the weird.
Before the True Seeing Eyeball can verify it, any weirdness may be the soul of Midnight City. So before it arrives, Lu Li must try his best to prevent the weirdness from dying, take it as his subordinate, and keep it by his side.
Lu Li, Claire, Ophelia, and Elena will form the team for this trip to Midnight City.
Everyone left the low hill and approached the southern part of Midnight City in the distance.
That's their first target.
After Chris and the others left, the castle should have been occupied by other monsters. They are weaker than other forces, and Claire is more familiar with this place and can also name the monsters around her.
It was approaching evening as we approached Midnight City. The blood-colored wheat fields in the distance had long since withered. Blood-like carpets of fungi were spread along the old farmland, and the manor in the depths had a filthy appearance.
"The Kraggs Creep...it has been coveting the farmer's territory for a long time."
Claire calls out the existence that occupies this place. She says that it is a fungus colony consciousness and that this fungus carpet is it.
"Is it the soul of Midnight City?"
"I don't know, but I would love to see guys who have offended me become my subordinates."
"Offended you?"
"The Kraggs Creep Monster is similar to a whale. It only captures small animals that stray into it or fly by... I loved exploring everywhere at that time."
Claire was attacked by creep monsters and left disgraced.
The Kraggs creep that occupies the farm is suitable as the first target in many aspects, but Claire is not suitable to join as she may be recognized and cause trouble.
They split up. Lu Li, Ophelia, and Elena approached the bloody carpet to regain the farm, while Claire sneaked into Midnight City alone to investigate the current situation of the castle.
"What to do next?"
Watching Claire walk away over the farm, Ophelia asked Elena.
"Say hello." Elena squirmed closer to the blood-colored carpet, "in a weird way."
Dreamers are suitable for forging illusions in a mysterious way. Relying on Elena's guidance, a miracle appeared in the back of Lu Li's head: an eye that slowly rotated, as if from the stars in the sky.
Elena and Ophelia had uneasy throbbing under their eyes, and some kind of fear gripped their minds.
"What's this……"
Lu Li noticed something strange about them and stopped dreaming. Elena and Ophelia regained their relaxation.
"I modeled the Eye of Deep Space that killed Prada."
Lu Li wanted to rely on the eyes of the deep sky to shape his identity, and now it seems that the effect is too good.
Directly against a Kraggs creep monster, it may simply flee or surrender.
"Don't use it casually, you may be sensed by that existence..."
Elena solemnly reminds you.
After following her sister on the road to becoming a god, Elena learned that any mention or thought of those eternal beings like the Ancient Ones would be perceived by them. It was even taboo in itself, and knowing their existence would lead to madness.
Although the existence deep in the starry sky would not look at the imitation of small creatures, Lu Li still avoided it and changed it to a black circle of light that imitated the black ring of the farmland.
With a black ring that sheds a dark black light, Lu Li, shrouded in a black robe, followed Elena as if floating.
Elena stopped at the edge of the creep cover and negotiated with the Kraggs creep monster who had sensed their arrival.
The blood-colored fungi rippled like ocean waves, and an outline rose in front of Elena.
The exchange that Lu Li couldn't understand continued before his eyes.
"What is Elena talking about?"
"She is introducing you to the Kraggs creep..."
The blood-colored carpet of bacteria surged with waves, causing its silhouette to drift along with it.
"Kraggs creep expresses euphoria."
Ophelia interpreted for Lu Li the conversation between Elena and the other party.
"She is praising you to the creep monster..."
The blood-colored fungi surged and spread to both sides, forming a clean path leading to the manor.
"Kraggs Creep welcomes you."
Elena gradually crawled, twisting her arms from deep under the black robe, spiraling toward the sky.
"She is preaching to the creep monsters..."
The rippling creep monster suddenly came to a standstill, then rubbed against each other crazily, emitting a wailing scream. The outline expanded, forming a strange claw that slapped Elena——
The dream spread instantly, pulling Elena back to her side.
"I guess the Kraggs Creeps are ready to attack."
Lu Li watched as the fungus blanket changed from calm to rough, like the sea in a storm.
Elena said guiltily: "I failed..."
The surging fungus carpet rose higher and higher, and the giant claws turned towards Lu Li and the others——
A hand larger than a giant claw suddenly formed, easily grasping the surging fungus carpet, and the dream that followed caused him to fall into a long sleep.
The creep gradually subsided and Lu Li turned his attention away from it: "What's the problem?"
"There is something wrong with our plan. I ignored the hostility of the weird and alien gods..."
In other words, any living being is hostile to the alien god.
Becoming a servant of the evil god is tantamount to dedicating everything you have to oneself, which is no different than death.
"Our plan needs to change." Ophelia looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li nodded lightly: "Change the plan and change it to developing power."
Simply changing the plan, Lu Li awakened the creep monster, grabbed it with irresistible power, and said: "I am not a god. It was just a disguise and a test before."
The faith that lingered around him was scattered, disappeared and dispersed.
"We are ready to occupy this manor. You have two choices. Join us, or join us."
