Su Mingan turned on his watch and saw Yamada Machichi lying in the darkness.
Yamada Machichi did not die, but fell into a coma. The tentacles wrapped around his body, as if absorbing something from him.
Su Mingan wanted to get closer to Yamada Machichi, but a tentacle hit him. With a swipe of his fingertip, it disappeared in a flash, accurately cutting off the oncoming tentacle.
"Siboer?" He asked tentatively, and he stepped forward with his left leg, but his steps suddenly stopped. He looked down and saw three thick black tentacles on his arms, wrapping around his calf like a child embracing its mother.
There was a flash of light in his hand, and he grasped the newly obtained Blade of Freedom. With a flash of golden light, the small tentacles attached to his arm were cut off with one stroke...
"Wow!" He cut off the tentacles on his hand, but it was like stabbing a basket. With a roar like a dolphin's call, countless tentacles of different thicknesses appeared in his field of vision. They were numerous and seemed densely packed.
He did not hesitate and immediately launched a spatial vibration centered on himself.
"Buzz--" Along with a strange buzzing sound, the tentacles in front of him broke off one after another. He walked unsteadily and fell to the ground.
The next moment, the tentacles below him began to move, tightly binding his hands that were pinned to the ground.
With a movement of his body, he immediately moved to Yamada Machichi's side. Before the tentacles could reach over, he backhanded a space vibration with three-quarters of the mana.
"boom--!"
This time, there was a lot of movement.
The surrounding darkness suddenly trembled violently like boiling, and low chirps rang out, and he felt his chest vibrating with it. The boundless tentacles trembled, twisted, and broke inch by inch under the influence of fluctuations.
A thicker tentacle stretched out from the "ground" in front of him. As the muscles on the surface of the tentacle twisted like movements, a large eyeball stood out on the tentacle.
……What's this?
He concentrated, and the golden liquid blade in his hand emitted a slight fluorescence.
The eyeball on the tentacle is light-colored, and you can clearly see the light-colored pupil inside, as well as the distinct upper and lower eyelashes.
...These are clearly Sibor's eyes that have been separated out and enlarged.
However, her originally beautiful eye became a little scary when it appeared alone on a tentacle.
...Inexplicably, it reminded him of the ruffian boss in a certain childhood animation.
"Xi Boer?" Su Mingan asked.
The big eyes moved slightly, as if they focused for a moment and stared at him closely.
"Human." Its muffled voice, indistinguishable from male to female, sounded from all directions: "You have good strength. Are you... willing to be my dependent?"
...Family? What the hell?
Does it mean to be a believer?
Su Mingan frowned slightly.
"Are you Jiu Shen? Or Siboer?" he asked.
"...Are you willing to be my dependent?" Eyeball asked again, looking like he was not very intelligent. As he spoke, he also started to seduce: "I will give you powerful power and make you the master of the world..."
Su Mingan felt that this tone was very familiar. After all, he usually used this tone when he deceived NPCs.
This monster, who knows what the hell it is, is still tempting him.
...The master of what kind of world, to put it nicely, isn't he just the puppet of this monster?
He was about to speak when a system prompt popped up.
…
【Notice! You are making critical line selections. 】
[If you choose to help the "monster" side, you will continue to pass the level perfectly·"Jiushen Line". If you choose to fight the "monster", you will enter the "reincarnation line" of perfect clearance. 】
…
Su Mingan narrowed his eyes.
"I do," he said.
"Ding dong!"
[You choose to help the "monster" side. 】
[Get special information: "Monster"
(Monster): The "monster" in front of you is the "energy" incarnation of God Jiu. It has gained consciousness over the long years and has been hidden in Siboer's body. After Siboer mobilized the power of Jiu Shen and fell into a coma, it replaced Siboer's consciousness.
It wants to seize a human body that can move freely, and you, who are strong enough, meet its requirements. 】
…
[Perfect clearance progress: 40%]
…
……No wonder.
As soon as Su Mingan saw this information, he knew what this monster was planning.
Originally, the monster wanted to absorb the energy from his body, but after watching him send out space vibrations, the monster knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, so it began to seduce him, trying to snatch his body while he relaxed his vigilance.
He didn't know if having his body robbed was considered a kind of damage to the soul, and whether it would have an impact on the player himself.
He wanted to see what would happen.
"You made a wise choice." The big eyeball blinked happily, and it stretched out an extra thick tentacle, trying to wrap Su Ming'an.
Su Mingan didn't move either.
Along with a slippery and soft touch, the tentacles obscured his sight and covered his body like silk, making his body airtight.
The next moment, he felt a strong and malicious emotion coming from the end of the tentacles, with a burning tingling sensation, slamming into his body, as if to take away his control over his body.
...This ghost really wants to snatch his body.
His attention immediately focused on the rampaging malice. He seemed to be able to see the radiance scattered like stars around his body, moving towards the surrounding malice as if launching a defensive battle.
The two seemed to suddenly start a fierce tug-of-war. While fighting against the malice, he could also hear the voice of the big-eyed voice close at hand:
"Don't resist me! Don't resist me! Accept me, and I will give you unrivaled power...Accept my power, and I will make you the strongest agent in this world..."
The big eyes were still trying to bewitch him.
Since it woke up, no one has approached this stone castle. Only a comatose Yamada Machichi and a tribal elder are within its control, but they are not strong enough to contain its power.
With great difficulty, it waited until a human with barely enough strength entered the stone castle. If Su Mingan could believe its bewitchment...
"Human! Listen to me, don't resist me. The human body is too weak. After I take over your body, I will transform your body, and you will gain unparalleled power..." Its voice changed. Be eager.
Su Mingan ignored it at all.
He concentrated, catching the malice that crashed into his body.
The back of his hand suddenly started to feel warm.
A bloody scale appeared on the back of his hand.
…
[Encountering a special situation and being judged——]
[Since your status is "Shadow", the devouring malicious effect of "Shadow" status takes effect. 】
…
...Sure enough, the special effect of the shadow state took effect.
Su Mingan knew this, so he boldly agreed to Big Eyeball.
In the fifth world of Minghui, Shadow absorbed the malice from the world and greatly increased his strength. Now, what these big eyes are releasing is also a kind of malice.
And as long as it is malicious, whether it comes from humans or from the world, it can be absorbed by the "shadow".
Su Ming'an also wanted to thank this big self-aware eyeball. Not only did it not cause him any trouble, it also sent him an emotional express. Even Edward's act of giving away his head was not as touching as it was.
As a black hole-like suction force was generated, the malice that fought against Su Ming'an began to become weaker and weaker, and the angry voice in his ears became lower and lower...
After a while, the wet and slippery feeling around him faded away.
Su Mingan opened his eyes.
The thick tentacle across his eyes was gone, the big eyeballs disappeared, leaving only the jungle-like fleshy sprouts and black tentacles.
He was just about to take a step, but he felt that his entire inner cavity was trembling, and his feet seemed to be rooted and unable to move. He was a little surprised because he suddenly couldn't feel his calves.
He lowered his head.
He saw his upper body and half of his thighs.
As for why the calves were not seen, it was because they were deeply embedded in the crimson "ground" like transplanted rice seedlings, as if they were integrated with the surrounding inner cavity. He tried to move his legs, but the entire field of vision began to tremble like an earthquake, as if all the tentacles were suddenly affected.
…
"Ding dong!"
[Swallowed successfully! 】
[You obtain: "Energy" (one of the three elements for becoming a god). 】
[Perfect clearance progress: 60%]
…
[You gain full control of the tentacle creature, and this control will be taken back at the end of the instance. 】
[You gain the tentacle biological skill: Purification (you can use tentacles to absorb surrounding pollution). 】
…
[Accept side mission·Purification Road]
[Purification Road: Control the tentacle creature to expand the scope of purification. 】
[Current purification range: 30 yards (stone castle range)]
[Target purification range: 10,000 yards]
[Task Reward: Obtain rewards based on the task results and advance the progress of perfect clearance. 】
…
Su Mingan discovered that he could suddenly completely control this tentacled monster, and the consciousness of the big-eyed creature had disappeared.
He also obtained one of the three elements of becoming a god: energy. In this way, only faith and the authority of the Black Crow remain unknown.
The progress of perfect clearance has also been pushed to 60%... This time it is simply a wave of fat.
His guess was correct. The world game would give players trouble, but it would also give them opportunities. The two were equal, and risks and rewards were unified. As long as he can find an opportunity to devour this big eyeball, he can gain the power to control the tentacle monster.
He tried to control these tentacles, and with the squirming movement of the fluid below, he reluctantly pulled his legs up and stood on the slippery inner cavity.
"Ascending," he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly grasped the tentacles suddenly raised under his feet, and the height around him was rising.
Everything here was under his control. The naked eye above immediately separated an ascending passage. When he was lifted to the height of the rooftop, he could already see the outside scenery.
He can sense everything in the stone castle, because these tentacles are all over the stone castle, and they are like his eyes.
Su Mingan had a strange feeling, as if he was not a human being at this moment, but an octopus with countless tentacles. He could control the vision and movement of these tentacles, and even control them to spread outside the stone castle...
However, expanding the range of these tentacles requires energy, and energy must be obtained by devouring pollution.
Suddenly something dawned on him.
In this way, this "monster" is not the source of pollution at all.
——Judging from the panel, its function is clearly to purify pollution.
Due to its terrifying appearance and ferocious appearance, people...even himself, mistakenly thought it was the source of curses and pollution, and wanted to eliminate it. He regards Siber, who summoned it, as an ominous symbol, and Jiu as an evil god.
But this is just people's inherent impression, just like seeing a person with a vicious face, they will think that they are bad people. After all, human beings always use fixed standards to judge good and bad, and it is even more normal to judge people by their appearance.
He thought that if he wanted to purify pollution, he would have to extend these pollution-absorbing tentacles outward.
Of course, to outsiders, he will look like a villain who wants to destroy the world, and people will not believe that the function of these tentacles is to purify, not to pollute.
——He will purify these pollutions with an attitude of destroying the world.
He controlled the tentacles and sent the unconscious Yamada Machichi and Michael to the rooftop. As for Sibel, he couldn't find her. She seemed to have melted into the tentacles and he didn't know how to peel her out.
"Wake up." Su Mingan patted Yamada Machichi's face.
When Yamada opened his eyes, the confusion before coma still remained on his face.
"You..." Yamada Machichi stood up immediately: "Su Mingan, be careful! There is a tentacled monster here that will swallow my power..."
"Is that what you're talking about?"
As Su Mingan spoke, he raised his hand, and seven or eight tentacles emerged from behind him. They were like dark snakes, wrapped around his hands, and the tentacles flowed uncontrollably to the ground and twisted.
Yamada Machichi was so frightened that his eyelids rolled up and he almost fainted. This scene was really disappointing.
"You - your identity this time is this tentacle monster?" Yamada Machichi said in shock: "You, your advanced mission is to pollute the world?"
He couldn't help but want to escape.
If Su Mingan's identity is a villain who wants to destroy the world, how can he still live?
"Wrong." Su Mingan stretched out his hand, and countless tentacles sprouted from behind him.
They are like a jungle that blocks out the sky and the sun, completely covering the rooftop of this stone castle.
"My mission is not to pollute the world... but to purify the world," he said.
Yamada Machichi suddenly realized that the number one player in front of him was truly a villain.
He remembered that in many literary works, madmen who wanted to destroy the world often used "purifying the world" as an excuse...
"I understand." Yamada Machichi didn't know what he understood, and immediately took Su Ming'an's hand.
"It turns out that your identity this time is the evil god." He said, "Are you going to found the Lighthouse Sect?"
Su Mingan: "..."
Su Mingan: "What do you think the Lighthouse Sect is?"
