Chapter 3: I’ve Successfully Enslaved The Evil God!
Unfortunately, they overlooked one move: he was not descended upon by evil forces. On the contrary, the Great Desolation Immortal Scripture continued to devour the polluting energy (spiritual energy) in the shadows and loaded a mutated version of the Boss Template onto himself.
As the Mutated Spiritual Root finished loading, like the command of a starting gun firing, it successfully broke through the barrier between the real world and the energy dimension.
Immediately after, those restless pollution sources also rushed toward him, attempting to invade this body. But they were quickly repelled by the alarm sounding in his mind.
[Soul detected suffering pollution erosion, firewall activating… Mental resistance check successful… Pollution erosion blocked and expelled.]
The Boss Template fiercely drew shadow energy, driving the soul firewall to continuously block, rebound, and expel various unfamiliar attacks.
It truly embraced a pollution (energy), then combined with the soul defense program (move) of the Great Desolation Immortal Scripture, instantly joining forces powerfully, standing on the same starting line as the other pollution sources, and using even richer and more advanced experience to beat them all to death!
At this moment, Yuan Zhu’s soul seemed covered in a layer of dark golden bell shield, ignoring all kinds of mental pollution attacks, standing firm unmoved.
Finally stood up, Great Desolation Immortal Scripture, well done.
With soul invasion failing, these pollution sources turned around again, using sacrifice Yuan Zhu as the medium, following the invisible connection between him and the numerous believers, using those talisman objects as the lure, launching an invasion.
These garbage small fry humans had no soul firewall, nor Boss Template protection, so they suffered one after another. Their bodies instantly erupted in violent mutations under the erosion of polluting energy.
For a moment, the hall was filled with mad laughter, screams, roars, and howls rising and falling endlessly. Under the distorted reflection of the scarlet candlelight, a group demons dancing wildly transformation party unfolded.
…
At this time, Yuan Zhu, who had passively activated the Boss Template, also had power surging and erupting within his body, his frame uncontrollably expanding and growing larger.
The view in his eyes became lower, his spine pulled and lengthened by invisible forces. This sensation was not painful; rather, it was like stretching muscles and bones after prolonged sitting soreness, a tingling with slight pain that felt refreshing.
Next, his body uncontrollably crouched toward the floor.
Looking down, his arms, shoulders, waist and abdomen… were all expanding, elongating, thickening, and bulking up. Bloodstained clothes were torn open, the dagger embedded in his chest squeezed out by muscle wriggling, the wound growing finger-like flesh buds that intertwined and fused, healing rapidly.
That cool sensation permeated every pore of his body, black coarse hairs piercing through the skin, growing more and more, dense and thick. His palms enlarged and thickened in the pulling, fingers becoming thick and powerful, likewise sprouting dense black fur, nails turning into sharp curved blades.
Accompanied by the visual view continuously rising, his throat tingled itchingly, then he couldn’t help roaring: “Roar!!!”
The tiger roar like thunder from flat ground exploded in the empty hall, shaking the air into turbulence and the ground trembling.
As the pressure of the king of beasts spread out, the believers in the hall felt provoked and responded with piercing screams one after another.
These evil believers, affected by pollution from different sources, also underwent form changes. Some tore open their cloaks and clothes amid loud mad laughter, looking at their similarly fur-covered claws, throwing their heads back and shouting: “Power, I feel infinite power! Right now, I am invincible under heaven!”
Immediately, his head swelled violently, mouth protruding and elongating, eyes pierced from within by a pair of sharp antlers, growing wildly and branching in the eye sockets with spurting blood. Then his arms’ muscles rapidly bulged, body hunching and bending, legs turning into reverse-joint form, becoming an upright-walking antlered wolf-headed monster.
This antlered freak was just the beginning; next, successive fat big-bellied believers opened their mouths in painful wails, hands uncontrollably tearing open skin, exposing fresh stringy muscles and subcutaneous fat. At the neck position, crunching bone-fracturing sounds emitted.
A structure (organ) that was both like a wound and a mouth appeared at the neck cross-section, continuously stretching and elongating, spreading from left shoulder blade to right shoulder blade, then opening wide, revealing layers of sharp teeth, then crying out: “Hungry! Hungry! I’m so hungry!”
In addition, full-body bones twisting and bending, face rapidly deforming, growing a bird beak, long-legged crow freak covered in black feathers all over… flesh melting, slime-like entwining around blood candles and using them as core organs’ candle-headed slime freaks, all took the stage one after another.
Even those corpses that had lost temperature and completely lain flat also successively twitched and crawled up, forced to return to the stage.
Some corpses grew scales; some heads split open in the middle; some limbs melted and contracted, torso elongating into snake form; some skin, flesh, and blood absorbed by bones, turning into rattling pale skeletons…
Compared to the giant tiger transformed by his own Boss Template, this group of bizarrely shaped, twisted, mutated ghost things in front of him were more like demons and monsters after an evil god’s descent.
Abstract art style was actually even more extreme than his own!
These monsters, one by one losing reason, emitting mumbling incoherent ravings, or screaming or mad laughing, making uncoordinated movements with bodies defying natural laws, turning the sacrifice hall into a veritable hell demon’s den. Even one more glance was mental torment.
Seeing this unforgivable evil scene, a sense of mission ‘subdue demons and demon extermination, acting on heaven’s behalf!’ unconsciously rose in his heart. He really wanted to take down this group of eyesore garbage!
…
Before Yuan Zhu could act to subdue demons, that full-body black-feathered human-faced crow opened its bird beak, revealing the throat hole stacked from layers of meat rings, aimed at the fierce tiger Yuan Zhu had become, and was the first to unleash a sonic shockwave ravaging spirit and soul.
Visible ripples appeared in the air, evil god aura mixed within, spreading in a fan shape, roughly sweeping over Yuan Zhu’s position.
[Suffered mental shock, has been blocked.]
The violent sound waves brought gusts of fierce wind, blowing the fierce tiger’s black fur waving and surging, ears ringing with sharp violent noise, temporarily losing sound perception, brain buzzing.
However, the opponent’s strongest mental attack failed, the evil god pollution blocked by the restarted firewall, instead enraging the nearby half-mad half-stupid polluted monsters.
The candle demons shaped with candle as head, blood vessels as bonds, flesh mud molded, rapidly melted into semi-solid bone-flesh slime, swimming their bodies toward the crow freak. During the pounce, they quickly expanded their bodies into a blood flame capture net, increasing capture area.
At this time, a skeleton with upper and lower jaws clacking also stimulated, flailing limbs pouncing toward the nearby headless and skinless blood fatty. Then it was firmly pinned by a huge muscle blood hand swollen four or five times larger, then lifted high by the headless skinned fatty and stuffed toward the giant maw at the neck.
“Hungry… hungry… hungry…”
Layers of stacked teeth chewed repeatedly, crunching half the white bone skeleton’s body into bits, swallowing into the fat belly, the highly bulging belly skin expanding another circle.
But not long after, dense white bone sharp blades exploded, pierced out, and grew wildly inside it, branching like plant limbs again and again, in an instant turning the skinned fatty into a skinned bone spur sea urchin.
In the melee, Yuan Zhu became even more the focus of concentrated fire.
The numerous demonic creatures instinctively targeted him as priority attack goal, various despicable moves beyond imagination and subverting cognition coming at him. Deceptions, sneak attacks.
Bad breath storm, acid vomit, giant tongue shot, internal organ ejection… coming like a storm, forcing the fierce tiger to flexibly twist his body, dodging left and right, surprisingly not daring to clash head-on, afraid of dirtying his own sleek shiny fur.
These demonic creatures not only frenzied and brutal, not giving the fierce tiger counterattack chance, but also mixed in all sorts of weird mental pollution in attacks. Even simple contact would trigger the Great Desolation Immortal Scripture’s soul pollution warning, like Lu Bu’s mop stained with shit.
Not that he couldn’t fight, but he didn’t dare touch! Didn’t dare touch at all. This was probably the helplessness of old ones dominators facing old seals?
Fortunately, the relaunched firewall was powerful, blocking all mental level erosions. Though the all-question-mark mana points couldn’t be directly viewed for data, he could perceive it rapidly burning and decreasing.
Couldn’t drag on like this anymore.
…
At the same time, under rounds of dangerous pollution strikes, Yuan Zhu transformed into a fierce tiger was also burning with rage, feeling anger and frustration at being offended by small fry, the demonic nature from demonic monster instincts rapidly eroding rationality.
This was not pollution energy eroding and twisting spirit and soul, but the demonic monster trait inherent in the Boss Template, a biological instinct written deep in the soul.
At the same time, he vaguely heard some elf at your service words?
No time for deep thought, the pitch-black tiger demon raised his right claw high, gathering demonic power within, fiercely slapping toward the pouncing two-headed ratman.
The two-headed ratman let out a strange cry from its mouth, likewise flexibly changing direction to dodge this strike. Then, two more giant ratmen hearing the call lunged from behind him, launching assaults from three different directions, speed fast like lightning, forcefully swinging slender rat tails while running.
At the rat tail ends grew sharp curved bone tail blades. Like a tough long whip, violently whipping and flailing, instantly breaking sound barrier, plus kinetic energy impact from running, directly unleashing triple sonic shockwave cutting damage.
Feeling intense threat, Yuan Zhu sensed crisis, a strange yet urgent female voice sounding in his mind at the same time: ‘Quickly use your innate divine ability, dummy!’
With the prompt, his heart stirred, easily mobilizing those cool breaths chaotically scurrying in his body, rapidly gathering toward the tiger claw.
Threads of demonic power aura wafted from the ends of pitch-black coarse hard fur, turning into a mass of black mist, coiling around the claw tip, slapping down again.
This slap landed heavily on the ground in front of him, preempting the rat head monster’s tail whip descent.
Immediately, the floor surface under the tiger palm rippled with circular shadow waves, spreading outward, dyeing the ground within ten meters around the black tiger pitch black, yet not affecting the other demonic creatures standing or stepping on it at all.
The three half-humanoid rat freaks’ attacks shot forth electrically, flinging tail whips toward Yuan Zhu’s spine, back of neck, and eyes three vital spots.
But simultaneously, three shadow soft whips with curved blades at ends also shot out from the shadows under the rat head monsters’ feet, arriving later but striking first, precisely colliding with their tail whips, then entwining together and forcefully yanking them askew.
Instantly deflecting the attacks that should have landed on Yuan Zhu toward a nearby lucky demonic creature.
Whip crack, crack, crack!
After three air-tearing whip lashes, a one-eyed corpse demon was sliced into several pieces, scattering on the ground.
Yuan Zhu also simultaneously comprehended the ability he had just used was the [Ability 1: Shadow Manipulation] covered in layers of question marks.
Though unclear what the tiger demon’s original supernatural ability was, after that unknown pollution transformation, the [Ability 1] recorded in the Boss Template now was freely manipulating the shadow power represented by the cool aura in his body.
…
That special spiritual energy source (pollution source) deeply bound with the Mutated Spiritual Root should be some pollution concept representing [Shadow]. As for the evil god pointed to behind this power? Sorry, completely unfelt.
Yuan Zhu, freely controlling shadow power, could confirm that behind him there was only the Boss Template, no evil god at all. Completely different from this group of pitiful puppets whose bodies were eroded by evil polluting forces and souls occupied.
If a ‘shadow-type evil god’ really existed, then his Mountain Lord Tiger Demon could perhaps rank among them, counting as a new sharp rookie demon god linked to the shadow pollution source.
