Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 794 It Really Exploded

The appearance of the evil artifacts does not only bring new combat assistance to players.

Storyteller: "Brothers, I don't know if you've noticed the descriptions of the new items that have appeared in the contribution shop this time. They reveal a lot of information."

The Scheming Frog: "I see. This Extreme Punishment Blood Thunder is quite strange. Do you know what it means?"

Upon hearing the storyteller's words, the other players also raised questions.

Indeed, the descriptions of the various new items in the contribution shop, while seemingly strange and revealing hidden information, are frankly, most people would only be completely confused after reading them, finding it difficult to extract any useful information from them.

However, the storyteller was different. He was on the battlefield the whole time during this large-scale team war. Although he didn't participate much in the battle, he never stopped learning about the various evil gods on the battlefield.

Storyteller: "During the war, I kept communicating with the NPCs and learned a lot of useful information from them."

Storyteller: "However, overall it is still rather one-sided and incomplete."

The storyteller said, "But now that the items in the contribution shop have been released, and based on the descriptions and previous information, I can basically deduce the origins of some of the evil gods, that is, their background stories."

Yes, although the descriptions of the items in the shop are quite enigmatic, those who, like the storyteller, were interested in the background story from the beginning and explored it will understand its deeper meaning after reading it.

Storyteller: "First of all, what I find interesting is the background story of the evil god leader at the gathering place of evil gods, who is also the Extreme Punishment Tyrant..."

At this point, the storyteller, based on his speculation, recounted the background story of the tyrannical ruler.

While his words still retained his characteristic lengthy speech, they were, in essence, quite similar to the story of the tyrannical ruler who inflicted extreme punishment.

After all, he made a special trip to the Candlekeeper to find out what was going on.

Other players couldn't help but feel a bit emotional after hearing this.

Black Mountain Demon: "So that's how it is... I never imagined that this extremely evil tyrant was actually a righteous and kind person who helped the weak and oppressed at the beginning..."

The cunning frog: "He's a nobleman who betrayed his own class!"

Miao Ge didn't fail his exams: "To be honest, it's really quite tragic."

My son failed his exams, but I got through them: "But why would he forget and ignore those who supported him and grieved for him after his resurrection?"

Storyteller: "Alas! This has something to do with the origin of these evil gods..."

The storyteller said, “I’ve asked the Candlekeeper about this too… To put it simply, the reason why the Tyrant of Punishment became the Tyrant of Punishment was not because He fell into evil after His resurrection, but because the believers who prayed to Him initially believed in an evil god.”

The storyteller said, "If the followers of the Tyrant of Extreme Punishment only wanted a god to punish injustice, then the Tyrant of Extreme Punishment might just have remained an ordinary being of faith."

The storyteller said, “But his followers prayed because they were suffering from extremely painful and unjust oppression… They had an intense desire in their hearts for ‘punishment of evil’ and went to extremes.”

The storyteller said, "The extreme tyrant born in this way is more inclined to be a pure punisher rather than a god who 'punishes injustice.' As a result, the extreme tyrant's reason and thought are also affected, becoming more and more extreme."

The storyteller said, "According to the information revealed by the Candlekeeper, the first thing the tyrant did after gaining a so-called 'second life' was to destroy those former oppressors."

The storyteller said, "But after that, He turned His sword on ordinary people who were not His followers, because in His eyes, these were the people who stood by and watched Him die..."

The storyteller said, "But in reality, this doesn't make sense, because not everyone was cheering and applauding when He died. Those who were grieving and weeping for Him were selectively ignored, and some even risked preparing a shroud for Him."

The storyteller said, "In reality, this was not a problem with His character, but rather the force that enabled His resurrection influenced His thinking, making Him only able to notice these things."

The storyteller continued, "Later, as can be seen from the description of the evil sacred object, Bloodflame Thundercloud... the power of the Extreme Punishment Tyrant at this time has long since ceased to be related to 'punishing injustice,' but rather to satisfy his 'desire to punish sins.' He has completely become an evil god..."

After learning the background story of the Tyrant of Extreme Punishment.

The explanation in the prayer of 【Extreme Punishment Blood Thunder】 naturally becomes less difficult to understand.

The crimson blood and flames represent the pain and resentment of past deaths, while the exploding thunder represents the anger and punishment of today's resurrection.

Punishment has become a desire.

Gray Sky: "Power influences thought; it's a form of existence completely controlled by power... No wonder it's called an evil god, yet its power is worlds apart from that of the God of Fire. (Thinking)"

Time to eat mushrooms: "What about the other evil gods? Do they have any backstories?"

Storyteller: "Yes, there are, but I don't think there's much to say about the other evil gods, because most of them are purely evil, and they enjoy being controlled by power..."

As he spoke, he also told the others stories of other evil gods, but as he said, the story of the Extreme Punishment Tyrant could barely be considered a tragedy, while the other evil gods were simply pure evil.

Just like this "shrine of corpses," its origin lies in a sorcerer who feared death transferring his soul to a shrine in a mass grave...

For example, there's the "Mind-Playing Evil Witch," who has been obsessed with manipulating people's minds since childhood, conducting incredibly cruel experiments and games, and by chance acquiring heretical beliefs...

In general, killing any of these evil gods would increase one's merit, and very few would have a story as poignant as that of the Extreme Punishment Tyrant...

……

"Hmm... So your true form is a snail? As long as a believer puts their faith in you, you forcibly transform them into a soft-bodied life form?"

"It's a deep-sea snail... sir..."

"Shut up! What I say goes. Did I tell you to speak? Keep it to yourself!"

"Yes... sir..."

Niu Niu shoved the weapon into Gai Luo's mouth in a bad mood.

As expected, this Gaelon, who can be called an evil god, is clearly no good either.

Compared to other evil gods, this guy is relatively merciful. Letting him stay on Candlefire Island to make contributions is not a bad thing.

but……

Now that Cairo has been incorporated into Candlelight Island, his soft-bodied minions are scattered across a large area of ​​the sea, and all players can kill them to harvest soft-bodied slime balls to make attachment liquid.

Once the quantity increases, the price of the soft tissue adhesion solution will naturally decrease.

"Um……"

Niu Niu looked him up and down, then stroked his chin, which made Gai Luo feel a chill run down his spine.

"Didn't you cast a curse on me before, like a gaze curse?"

Are there any similar curses?

Upon hearing his question, Galo was completely baffled; he truly couldn't understand what the Candle Spirit was thinking.

But even if He possessed such a curse, He wouldn't use it on Niu Niu.

"...My lord, please spare me!"

"Your candlelight is always watching me; if I use my energy elsewhere, that's just shirking my duty!"

Garuda cried out in mourning.

He really couldn't take it anymore. He was hiding in a corner of the sea and this guy Niu Niu still managed to find him, and now he was being asked some strange requests...

Compared to Niu Niu, He was even more afraid of the candlelight and dared not slack off in the slightest.

After all, if you anger Niu Niu, the other party might just slap or humiliate you a few times, but if you anger Zhu Huo, you could really die.

Upon hearing this, Niu Niu immediately lost interest, rolled his eyes, and turned to leave with the stealth submarine.

Seeing this, Gai Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

But Niu Niu quickly returned and, to His bewildered gaze, lashed His face twice with his special weapon.

"Go to work!"

After finishing, Niu Niu left satisfied.

Gero was left completely bewildered.

Are you crazy?! I'm already working, aren't I?!
……

Having found no amusement in Gairo, Niu Niu naturally turned his attention to some of the new items in the latest contribution shop update.

Niu Niu didn't care much about prayers, consumables, or appearance; he immediately focused his attention on the new category of "evil relics."

"Blood Flame Thundercloud... punishes limbs and organs? What if I'm in a soul state or a void state, without limbs or organs?"

Niu Niu's thought process is always different from others. He is keen on finding fault with everything, so the moment he saw the price, he started to have crooked ideas.

Without hesitation, they quickly gathered some "followers" of their own explosive bull sect and found suitable candidates.

When they heard that Niu Niu was going to try the evil artifact, many players rushed to help, and the storyteller quickly started organizing.

First are the spells "Transformation into Formlessness" and "Soul Walk." The former allows one to enter an untargetable, formless state, while the latter allows one to enter a soul state, and both have sufficient casting animation.

But he soon received a disappointing result.

The former, who has entered an invisible state, is completely unable to wield the power of the evil artifact, while the latter is still affected by the consequences, with their limbs and organs being randomly punished and suffering unbearable pain.

"Hmm...it seems there's no way to exploit loopholes or bugs..."

Li Miao muttered to himself, glancing down at the [Blood Flame Thundercloud] he was short of.

To be honest, this thing is really cool. Although it's only the size of a palm, it looks like a finely carved piece of red jade. It's also very lightweight and has electric arcs flashing on it. Once activated, it will rise up and turn into a giant thundercloud, which is quite spectacular.

However, it's worth mentioning that although the Blood Flame Thundercloud can't be exploited by exploiting a bug that increases its cost, its amplification is indeed very considerable and real, and its duration is not short.

Furthermore, the most important "target of punishment" is indeed very useful, just as the storyteller guessed, as it can ignore many effects of stealth and invisibility spells.

It's easy to foresee that some players who enjoy quick kills will really like this useful evil artifact.

Next, the Misty Shrine was tested.

It is also only the size of a palm and looks like a square box shrouded in black mist.

After the player activates the item.

Everyone soon witnessed a truly humiliating scene.

The other person's body trembled and twisted uncontrollably. The next moment, bones burst out from behind, bringing with them bursts of flesh and blood, which seemed to repel each other like positive and negative poles.

"Holy crap, that scared me to tears."

"They've turned into skeleton soldiers..."

"No, shouldn't the wax from the candle person be wax? How did it turn into blood?"

"Don't ask, the answer is the power of the evil sacred object."

"Actually, it's an old bug, haha..."

Upon seeing this, the surrounding players immediately leaned back in shock and began to discuss the situation.

Then they began to observe the specific function of the mist-shrine.

But soon, the players gave their own judgment... This thing is mostly a toy.

First of all, the impact of the cost is significant; it is a substantial reduction, but it does not provide any protection. If there is any danger, you will definitely die faster than usual.

Then there's the black mist of corpses. While it can indeed forcibly attract corpses and bones, the direction cannot be actively controlled by the player. It will only be released periodically towards areas with more bones. Although it's automatic, it's also rather rigid.

However, this would probably be the harshest father figure for some enemies who are all bones...

Therefore, in general, this requires choosing the right application scenario.

Then there's the scene of a girl sobbing.

This evil artifact has a simple and brutal effect, and the cost will not affect the player.

However, the drawback is that the probability cannot be determined.

Fortunately, through the collective wisdom and joint efforts of the players, the two most important factors affecting the success rate were quickly identified.

First, there's the strength of the target, which is naturally inversely proportional to the success rate.

Secondly, there's the level of intelligence of the target... Ironically, this is directly proportional to the success rate.

In other words, the higher the level of intelligence and self-awareness demonstrated by the goal, the higher the success rate.

The most representative examples are characters with a high degree of self-awareness, such as Gu Long's projection, Lilmi, and Hero's Resentment...

Of course, it can also be considered a special attack against NPCs like the Fire Gatherers and the Fire-Dwellers.

It can even achieve a success rate of 70% to 80% for players.

But if you're using it to fight dungeon bosses or something, then it's all about luck...

"Isn't this bullying smart people?"

"666, I thought the dumber the monster, the more easily it was affected, but I never expected this..."

"What do you guys mean by direct and inverse proportions?"

"Ah, you don't need to worry about that. You just need to know that this thing is useless to you."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm dying of laughter..."

The group of players were overjoyed and then began testing other evil artifacts.

Meanwhile, on Niu Niu's side...

He held [Blood Flame Thundercloud] in one hand and [Girl's Sobbing] in the other.

"Two evil relics cannot be used at the same time..."

"Then I just won't use them at the same time, right?"

Niu Niu's eyes lit up.

Li Miao and the others beside him silently took a few steps back, afraid that blood would splatter on their faces.

Niu Niu had already used the Blood Flame Thundercloud earlier.

"Ha, a bunch of cowards."

"So what if there's a risk? At worst, they'll just blow me up."

"Alright, don't be afraid, let Grandpa Niu show you!"

"bring it on!"

"Evil Sacred Object: The Sobbing Maiden!"

Niu Niu roared, then raised the small statue of a girl in a long dress who was sobbing, and activated it with the power of war.

next moment……

The crimson flames flashed and disappeared in his palm.

Bang! ! !
A huge explosion was heard, and Niu Niu was instantly blown away, with black smoke rising into the air.

"Fuck!"

"Why did it explode?"

"It seems that the evil artifact really can only be used once a day..."

The group of players immediately realized this and thanked Niu Niu for once again clearing the way for them.

"Cough... Holy crap..."

Niu Niu coughed violently twice, exhaling black smoke, and then proudly put his hands on his hips.

"See? It's just a little bombing, it's no big deal."

But he soon noticed the others' faces, which were strained from trying not to laugh.

Li Miao: "Well said, then where is your evil sacred object?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Niu Niu suddenly realized what was happening and quickly looked around frantically.

However, after searching for a long time, he found nothing. It was obvious that the explosion came from the statue of the weeping girl, and it was blown to pieces...

A wicked artifact worth 8000 contribution points has now been destroyed like a firecracker.

"Do not!!!"

The ox's mournful screams echoed across Zhuxin Island.
