Chapter 140 Premonition

Chapter 140 "Premonition"

The moment Parker finished speaking, a new type of reminder sounded in Qiao Yang's ears.

"Recruitment tip: You have obtained the allegiance of the special crew member "Pike". This crew member is classified as a sailor. Please check the relevant panels yourself. "

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Qiao Yang has obtained new crew members through methods other than ship recruitment. Because of this, he has no way of knowing how talented Pike is, but what is certain is that its future will never be the same. Stopping at legend, after all, the monster Soul Maggot Mother was separated from its soul, and the upper limit of the latter was demigod.

Of course, Qiao Yang has a more direct way to determine Parker's talent. He will always be a god!

"Hahaha, I love hearing this. Get up. Do you want to go further?"

He helped Pike, who was kneeling on one knee, and took advantage of this moment to glance at the loyal man, who was undoubtedly a die-hard loyalist.

"what do you mean……"

Parker didn't know about Qiao Yang's "blessing" ability. It was something beyond recognition, and his face was suddenly full of doubts.

"Do you know what that is?"

Qiao Yang stretched out his hand and pointed at the golden mist floating up and down not far away, which was the evil divinity left behind after the death of the soul maggot mother.

"I have understood it, but I don't know much. I only know that it is the key to ascending to the gods."

Its eyes flickered, with undisguised desire, and the pursuit of strength was also Parker's favorite.

"That's enough, your potential is much more than that!"

With one move of one hand, the divine baby swallow that once belonged to the soul maggot mother burrowed into Qiao Yang's palm like a homecoming. The next moment, a shrill wail came from it.

"Ah!! No, please, let me go. I can make a soul oath to you..."

A blurry face appeared, and the original arrogance and aloofness disappeared. At this moment, He looked like a wild dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy on the roadside, spreading out its words of begging for mercy as if it was free of money.

However, Qiao Yang was such a kind person. He couldn't listen to such words. He was going to die anyway, so he might as well send him off early to alleviate his pain.

That's right, the Soul Maggot Mother is not completely dead. This can be seen from the battle information. There is neither a kill prompt nor a killing experience gain, so something must be wrong.

This has to be said about the essence of the gods, a high-dimensional energy body composed of divinity, godhead and priesthood.

If ordinary people are an organic combination of flesh, blood and soul, then gods are great beings that are even more elusive and cannot be specifically defined.

This greatness does not specifically refer to any earth-shattering deeds they have done, but their existence itself is a kind of greatness.

Therefore, he, she or it, which refers to gender, will not be used to refer to gods. Therefore, the earliest believers specially created a "He" to describe the existence of gods themselves, which means the indescribable.

Unlike the complex human body, the composition of gods is very simple, with only the three elements mentioned just now, namely divinity, godhead and priesthood.

These things sound very high-level, but it is more intuitive to put it another way.

Let’s talk about divinity first. Humans have souls, so gods should also have souls, and their souls are divinities.

Of course, this is not particularly accurate, but the general meaning is not much different.

How important the human soul is to people, so is divinity to gods. If a supreme and majestic god is instantly separated from divinity, then he will fall neatly. Of course, the prerequisite is that it can be done , after all, this difficulty is not much lower than killing the gods head-on in the Kingdom of God.

In addition, there is the godhead. When Qiao Yang set a new record last time, the rules of the Endless Sea rewarded him with a little godhead. Basically, after possessing divinity and godhead, and then transforming his own domain into a priesthood, he can choose an auspicious day to hold the ceremony. God's ceremony.

Still using human beings as an example, a simple soul is very fragile, even if it becomes a vengeful spirit among undead creatures. As long as there is no container, a little holy water of acceptable purity can kill a powerful high-level vengeful spirit.

The container of the soul is flesh and blood, and the container of divinity is the Godhead. The two are interdependent.

The free divinity without restraint will be recycled by the rules of heaven and earth's operation, and the godhead without divinity will gradually decay and eventually disappear invisible.

The upper limit of a god does not depend on the divinity, but on the godhead. Most gods with a wide range of believers and far-reaching influence have powerful godheads. A glimpse of it can tell the whole story. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about it.

Finally, there is the priesthood and the divine power derived from it.

When the divinity and divine personality are complete, the priesthood will be automatically generated over a long period of time, and what kind of priesthood it will be ultimately depends on the power the god itself possesses.

The priesthood of those born holy is conferred by the rules of the world itself, but the priesthood of acquired gods is often related to their extraordinary profession or personal tendency before they became gods.

For example, Musk, the god of thieves, is an example of becoming a god through a long period of accumulation.

When he was still a mortal, he was a living legendary thief, and beings in all related professions would regard him as an idol.

And when he became a god, his condensed priesthood was also related to theft and trickery, and his former admirers also became his believers, which also allowed him to smoothly survive the weak period of the new god.

This is true not only of the God of Thieves, but also of many similar gods. Almost all of their vocations are related to or even the same as the extraordinary professions in the mortal period.

The priesthood is very similar to the human occupation. They are both the product of a high degree of unity between the body and the soul, and the advantages of the former are brought into full play.

The derived divine power is much simpler. People need to eat to live, and the existence of gods also requires the support of divine power. They are essentially the use and consumption of energy, but the latter has more powerful power. The difference is It’s just a fingertip away from the Milky Way.

Now it is very simple to explain the reason why the Soul Maggot Mother is not completely dead. Although he is not a god, but only a demigod, he already possesses some characteristics of a god, such as resurrection like a body snatching, and this medium is divinity.

If the remaining divinity of the Soul Maggot Mother is left alone, the next being that obtains its divinity will be gradually changed by the remaining physical will in it, and will eventually become the vessel for his resurrection.

However, Qiao Yang found its fatal weakness in the image. The impact caused by the ancient common language, which is similar to the spirit of speech, is completely different from the caster's spell, so the messy resistance of the soul maggot mother has changed. It has become a fictitious thing, a group that looks strong but is actually as brittle as paper.

At this time, the last personal will of the Soul Maggot Mother was completely destroyed, and the possibility of resurrection was completely lost, leaving only the pure evil divinity, which can be perfectly integrated with almost all evil camp existences.

It was only then that the relevant prompts appeared in front of you.

"Tip: You killed the [Soul Maggot Mother]! The target is a demigod, and it is fusing the target's divine power... The target's divine will has been completely wiped out..."

"You gained 3 points of evil divinity!"

"You gained 1 point of godhood!"

"Tip: The target soul energy is being extracted..."

"You gained 72,500 killing experience points!"

Compared with the descendants of Kuo Tao that he had killed, the divinity brought to him by the Soul Maggot Mother has not increased but decreased, but this is not unexpected, but quite normal.

Although the overall strength of the Kuo Tao Adventer is far inferior to that of the Soul Maggot Mother, its divinity does not belong to itself, but is a separated part of the unknown ancient god.

The Soul Maggot Mother is different. All the divinity she possesses is obtained through those twisted souls. It would be great if the power of faith provided by such incomplete souls can condense divinity, and what else is needed for a bicycle.

And this guy is not without surprises. After obliterating the last personal will of the soul maggot mother, she actually provided him with a little bit of godhead, which was fucking ridiculous.

"Tip: You successfully killed [Soul Maggot Mother], your background specialty [Sons of Chaos] has been improved to a certain extent, and your chaotic tendencies have further shifted."

"You have once again completed a major event that is in line with the chaotic camp. Your reputation has been more widely spread in the chaotic camp, and some beings with ulterior motives have noticed you."

Qiao Yang, who thought the prompt was over, was about to absorb divinity and godhead with peace of mind. As a result, the Son of Chaos, which had always had a low sense of existence, received an unexpected improvement.

"ah?"

Qiao Yang frowned and realized that things were not simple.

Although the act of killing the mother soul maggot in order to obtain maximum benefits is definitely the most popular thing for Lezi people, and it is definitely a good thing that the Son of Chaos, which is not weak, has become extremely strong again, but the ulterior motives mentioned at the end of the reminder It really made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat. He didn't like this feeling of being out of control.

Shaking his head, after confirming that there would be no follow-up prompts, Qiao Yang began to concentrate on absorbing divinity and godhead.

Thanks to the Evil Power feat, there is no obstacle for him to absorb the evil divinity. After all, he can jump repeatedly between the two camps of chaotic neutral and chaotic evil.

In the process of absorbing it, Qiao Yang somehow suddenly thought of the records about the Yanling clan, that legendary race that was hunted to death.

The power of their Word Spirit seems to be very similar to the effect achieved by the ancient Common Language. Has anyone really gained immortality after killing the Word Spirit clan? Even if they do extend their lives, are they really derived from the characteristics of the Yanling Tribe~

This thought grew wildly in his mind like weeds, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Qiao Yang's back in shock.

He didn't know why he had such an absurd idea, but the premonition from the depths of his soul made it impossible for him to let it go easily. With the blessing of the almost legendary field of perception, any premonition was not without reason.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yang forced himself not to think about this matter and settle the matter in front of him first. However, he could ask Oriath or Pike for details.

"Alas~ troubled times."

I sighed in my heart. It took more than half an hour to absorb the divinity and divine personality. This kind of divinity with a little bit of personal will is much harder to absorb than the divinity that has all its characteristics wiped out by a single hit. After all, The latter can be completely assimilated into its own thing in almost just a few breaths.

After it was over, Qiao Yang clapped his hands, waking up Parker who was in a daze.

"Come back to your senses and get ready to give you a blessing!"

Qiao Yang's fingertips exuded a little divinity, exuding an alluring light.

Pike showed an unexpected look. It was not stupid. It naturally knew what Qiao Yang meant. He wanted to send himself on the road to becoming a god. Why?

It didn't suppress its doubts and said directly:

"Aren't you afraid that your subordinates' excessive strength will affect your status?"

His outspokenness made the nearby crew members laugh, especially Hans and Triller, who laughed the loudest, but not maliciously. Once upon a time, they were also like this, well, innocent.

Seeing their newly joined partners behave like this now reminds them of themselves who once reached the sky in one step. And this more talented newcomer will probably be surprised and grinning from ear to ear after receiving the blessing from the captain. They are very surprised. Looking forward to this scene.

"I can't answer this question for you, but you can communicate with Marquis. How you treat me is how they treat me. This is true for the whole ship."

Qiao Yang also smiled. If you put aside the filter of Undertale, Parker is unexpectedly innocent. This may be the change after he stripped away his chaotic consciousness. This may be the change brought about by the long years.

"Is that so? I understand. In addition, I have another question that I would like to seek your answer to."

"explain."

"My revenge ended long ago. After that, during the long period of killing, my heart became increasingly hollow, so I began to pursue the meaning of killing. However, instead of changing the status quo, this pursuit created that monster... "

Its voice was as rough as ever, but Qiao Yang could hear sadness, confusion, and profound loneliness in it.

"Neither your good nor evil is pure enough, so you suffer."

"You only kill evil people in order to seek spiritual comfort. This is impossible. You cannot be the most evil. Otherwise, you would have merged with the mother soul maggot and become a moving natural disaster. You can’t do either of these to the extreme, and that creates endless suffering.”

Listening to Qiao Yang's words, Parker's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Okay, the Q&A session is over. Let me ask you another question. Do you want to maintain the status quo, or do you want to leave it all behind and become a human again?"

"If you want to become a human again, you have to start over. No matter what, I respect your choice."

After the experience of Baden and Thane, Qiao Yang also had a different way of dealing with some special crew members.

"Which one is more helpful to you now?"

Pike did not answer immediately, but asked a question.

"keep status quo."

"So be it, you are different from all captains, I believe in you!"

Nodding, Qiao Yang waved his hand and said softly:

"I say, your road ahead will never end!"

The familiar golden light fell, shrouding Pike like a devout believer, and together with the divinity in his hand, his talent was raised to the extreme.
